Chapter Twenty-Three: Just Coax
Bright fireworks are generated from outside the mansions of Chang'an, and the wealthy families with strict family education on weekdays are also a little more relaxed, and Kuishou Street is full of children running with fireworks and accompanying maids.
King Su's mansion was full of red lanterns, and Xu Buling gave Lao Xiao and others a day off, and Lao Xiao made a table of wine and food, and sat in the main hall to push the cup and change the lamp, which was considered to have passed the New Year. As for Xu Buling, this year is obviously not very easy, and even a little difficult.
After being 'caught and raped in bed' the day before yesterday, Xu Buling was unable to see Mrs. Lu again. The cold poison on his body had not been suppressed, and after recuperating in the house for a day and a night, he hurriedly ran to Jinghuayuan to coax Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu found Song Yufu from under Xu Buling's bed that day, and turned out the portrait of the Queen Mother from under the bed, which can be imagined.
Song Yufu said that after all, if you are mentally prepared to be lost for a few days at most, the portrait of the Queen Mother is different.
When Mrs. Lu thought of Xu Buling avoiding her all day, but hiding a portrait of the Queen Mother under the bed, she turned it out in the dead of night......
Mrs. Lu was really sad, it felt like the cabbage that had been carefully cared for for a year was dug up by someone, and the cabbage still didn't wait to see her, if it wasn't for the maids to stop her, she would have gone back to her parents' house that day.
In this case, Xu Buling naturally couldn't come to the door, so he shouldn't call his aunt, and it didn't work to sell obedient cuteness, so he stood alone outside the courtyard, and didn't let him in for a day and a night.
Xu Buling was helpless, seeing the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve, and then waiting for it to really be next year, after thinking for a long time, he had to give the maid who was blocking the way a look.
Mrs. Lu was sad, and the maid was also worried, so she hurriedly ran over to listen to her ears, nodded and ran out.
After a while, Lao Xiao ran over with a cane, and shouted in a loud voice:
"Little prince, Miss Song is here, ask if you have time to go out to visit the Lantern Festival, do you want to let her go back or ......?"
Xu Buling tidied up his clothes and said loudly:
"Song Yufu, right, uh-huh......"
"Ling'er! Now that the meal is ready, come in and eat. ”
The effect was immediate, a gentle voice sounded from the courtyard, and Mrs. Lu walked out of it, dignified and quiet, as if she had just heard the conversation:
"Miss Pine is here? …… No, you can go if you want, and you can skip the meal. ”
Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to Lao Xiao: "I'm not free, let her go back." ”
"Order."
Lao Xiao smiled, and ran away again with his crutches.
Xu Buling stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm, and said softly:
"I'm not a child, what's running around for the New Year, right, Aunt Lu?"
As soon as Lao Xiao left, Mrs. Lu's demure face disappeared, turned into a cold appearance, and pulled her arm away, not letting Xu Buling support her:
"I promise your father to take care of you, and you have to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve meal or not." Alas~ The Queen Mother lives in the palace, and today is the family banquet of the Son of Heaven, so I can't let you in, otherwise you will run to me......"
Sour.
Xu Buling only felt a toothache, and held Mrs. Lu's wrist: "The Son of Heaven's family banquet, I'm going to join in the fun, the Queen Mother told me that I won't go, the last time it was a misunderstanding......
Mrs. Lu withdrew her hand, but without pulling it away, she stood still, and did not look at Xu Buling, but just snorted lightly:
"You just continue to lie to me, anyway, I can't do anything about you, and I can't control you. If you bother me to be an aunt, I will stay away from you in the future, and I won't disturb you and the other Song girl......
"How is that possible?"
Xu Buling's smile was gentle, and he pulled Mrs. Lu in front of him:
"Aunt Lu, be good! Don't make a fuss, it's a misunderstanding. ”
“……”
Mrs. Lu blinked, her face turned red immediately, and she raised her hand and hit Xu Buling on the shoulder: "It's not big or small, I'm your aunt, it's you who are not well-behaved, who misunderstood you?" I've seen with my own eyes that there's still a fake? ”
Xu Buling nodded with a smile and explained: "Song Yufu ran to my house to hide in order to find a hairpin, it was really not me who hid her under the bed, if I like her, I can bring her over to Aunt Lu to see, Aunt Lu knows and will not object, what am I hiding?" ”
Mrs. Lu took a breath, and her clothes bulged a little: "Are you and Miss Song innocent and nothing?" ”
"I ......" Xu Buling opened his mouth and was forcibly kissed once, he said that it didn't seem right to be innocent, and he could only look at Mrs. Lu helplessly for a while.
Mrs. Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to the side.
"Huh! Aunt Lu, it's really nothing...... You're going to trust me...... If I lie to you, I'll stew myself in a tin pot......"
"Moon slave, go boil the water, boil."
"Yes, ma'am."
“……”
Xu Buling was speechless for a while, nodded, and reluctantly followed the moon slave to the kitchen.
Mrs. Lu was favored after all, and when she saw Xu Buling's lost appearance, she couldn't bear it a little, so she sighed softly:
"Come back. I am young and concubine, and I can't care about it...... Just her? ”
Xu Buling turned around and walked back, and said, "There is not a single word of eight characters, not a single one." ”
Mrs. Lu no longer has a taste in her heart, and she can say how heavy she is. I could only nod at the moment:
"It's good if you have your own number...... What about the portrait of the Queen Mother? ”
Xu Buling helped Mrs. Lu to walk, and said seriously: "The last time I went to the palace, the Queen Mother asked me, 'Who looks better between her and the portrait'......"
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and turned her head full of disgust: "She even asked this?" Is...... Alas......"
Xu Buling shrugged: "I'm a junior, and the Queen Mother also asked Xiao Ting, but it's actually nothing......"
"How did you answer?"
"I said she was good-looking now, but she didn't have a good idea before...... Pure flattery......"
Mrs. Lu frowned slightly and nodded: "No wonder I gave you the painting...... The Queen Mother may have been patient before, and often took out the painting in front of me, saying that she was 'Xuanhe Bakui', hum~ I didn't catch Xu Danqing, otherwise it's just a painting, what's so strange......"
I didn't care about it, but the vinegar inside and outside the words was obvious. After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and a woman's family can crown a generation with her appearance, no matter how you say it, it is a matter of pride.
Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled, and accompanied Mrs. Lu into the house: "It's just a painting, when the weather is good in spring, I will accompany Aunt Lu to the city to go out in spring, and I will paint a picture for Aunt Lu." What is Xu Danqing, just a Jianghu guest. ”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her eyebrows suddenly became a little more bright, and she folded her hands on her waist and glanced at Xu Buling:
"No, you can draw?"
"You can't learn, as long as Aunt Lu doesn't dislike it."
Mrs. Lu said 'um', and her expression was much more natural: "How can I dislike it, as long as you draw it...... Well, Xu Danqing's painting, I burned it. ”
"Ah—?!h
Xu Buling's expression changed, and as soon as he wanted to question, he found that Mrs. Lu pursed her lips slightly, and she was about to be aggrieved again, so she hurriedly changed her words: "Burn it, burn it, it's just a painting, what's the big deal...... At most, let the Queen Mother hold a grudge for the rest of her life......"
Seeing Xu Buling's frightened appearance, Mrs. Lu laughed with a poof, raised her hand and pinched his face:
"I'm kidding you, if Xu Danqing's painting is burned by me, I won't be poked in the back by that group of literati......"
Xu Buling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled very obediently.
"I'm going to hang it in the house and frame it, just say that you gave it to me, if the Queen Mother knows, she will definitely ask me, I'll let her ask you to go, see if she's embarrassed to speak......"
"Uh...... It's better to burn ......."
"Huh?"
"Nothing...... Frame it, I'll do it......"
"Hmph~"
