Chapter 36 A gentleman wears a sword to show his virtue
Snowflakes are flying, the pavilions and pavilions of Jinling City are dyed with a layer of silver makeup, and the cold wind has not diminished the lively atmosphere. The poetry meeting has been opened, after a few days of warm-up, more and more people arrived, and a lot of masterpieces were born.
In the afternoon, Xu Buling was tidying up in the house, and Lu Hongluan walked into the house with his robe in his arms, and said with a smile:
"Ling'er, I've made a new robe for you, you can try to see if it fits."
Lu Hongluan's expression was demure and his words were soft, returning to his previous appearance, as if he had forgotten about breaking the taboo in the boudoir the day before yesterday. However, his eyes flickered left and right, deliberately avoiding Xu Buling's gaze, and it was obvious that his heart had not calmed down.
may be the influence of changes in her heart, Lu Hongluan did not wear the lady's clothes anymore, a simple goose yellow long skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with a few peonies, without losing the original dignified and a little more feminine charm. There are flower hairpins in the bun, the skin is greasy and lovely, and even the lipstick on the lips has been replaced with a more gorgeous red, which looks like a different person.
Xu Buling walked up to catch the carefully sewn white robe, the indifferent fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and there was a little smile in his eyes:
"Aunt Lu is dressed up so beautifully today."
Lu Hongluan was a little restrained, his eyes dodged twice, and then he showed his usual serious look, and said softly:
"Wear your clothes, I haven't talked about you last time...... Lawless, dare to kiss anywhere, don't do that in the future. Don't tell Xiang'er when I go back, or she will laugh at me......"
Xu Buling nodded seriously: "Aunt Lu, don't worry, she will definitely not dare to laugh at you." I'll let you see how I clean her up......"
Let me see?
Lu Hongluan frowned slightly, pondered a little, and then came back to his senses, and took a sip gently: "Nonsense, I won't look at it...... If I were in front of me, Xiang'er would have to die of shame......"
Saying this, Mrs. Lu's eyes rolled, as if she was really a little moved.
Xu Buling smiled secretly in his heart, shook his head and didn't say much, and changed into his robe in front of the bronze mirror.
Lu Hongluan stood in front of him, helped Xu Buling put on clothes, thought about it, and asked:
"Accompanying Xiao Qi in the past two days, how is the progress?"
The main purpose of Jiangnan's entourage is to load Xiao Qi and bring it back to Suzhou, and there are many opportunities to go to Hangzhou alone together.
Xiao Qi has a strong personality and is independent in thought, not as easy to fool as ordinary daughters. However, as the saying goes, 'good women are afraid of pestering Lang', Xu Buling teased from morning to night, all kinds of colored 'poems' came to the mouth, and after two days of grinding step by step, Xiao Qi was helpless, so he began to pretend that he couldn't hear it, which can be regarded as progress.
Xu Buling chuckled: "It's okay, I'll accompany Xiao Qi to the poetry club later, do you want Aunt Lu to go together?" ”
Mrs. Lu was born in Jiangnan, where the literary style was at its peak, and she also liked poetry, and often went to the poetry club to hang out when she was a child, but Xu Buling and Xiao Qi together, she would inevitably dominate the crowd when she went, in order not to affect the lifelong event of the baby pimple, or empathetic:
"You go over with Xiao Qi, I'm going to join in the fun...... Anyway, I'm so close to you, I won't blame you for a little mistreatment, I still have to take care of the woman who is not in place first, you say? ”
“……”
Xu Buling's expression stiffened slightly, turned around, raised his hand to be a bear hug, and lifted Lu Hongluan's feet off the ground:
"Then don't go, accompany Aunt Lu today until tomorrow morning."
Lu Hongluan was a little out of breath when he was hooped, his embroidered shoes were dangling in the air, and his eyes were flustered and looked left and right: "Ling'er, you are crazy, let me go down...... I'm not sour, just kidding, don't take it seriously...... "Save the book."
Xu Buling put her down and began to pack her robe again.
Mrs. Lu was angry and ashamed, but she couldn't blame Xu Buling, so she had to turn around and run out in a hurry......
-------
It was dusk, and the breeze whipped up snowflakes and sprinkled them on the continuous painting boats, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from far away in the alley.
Xu Buling wore a white scholar's robe, came to the vicinity of the Jinling Poetry Society, and saw Xiao Ting standing outside the study building, folding the fan and gently swaying the erang, looking back from time to time, obviously waiting for Xiao Qi.
Seeing Xu Buling coming over, Xiao Ting seemed to be saved, lifted his robe and ran out: "Xu Buling, it's just right that you came, a few friends are waiting over there, I'll go first, you accompany your aunt, and I'll explain it to me later." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu to refuse, and he got into the crowd without looking back.
Xu Buling naturally had no opinion on this, but Xiao Qi, who had just walked downstairs, turned a little colder and gritted his teeth.
In the past two days, Xu Buling will come over during the day, and he has nothing to say to say something that makes people unable to calm down at all. Xiao Qi stared at it or ignored it, he couldn't stop it, his own momentum had no effect on Xu Buling, and he had no choice but to let it go.
I was going to go to the poetry meeting tonight, Xiao Qi specially asked her nephew to wait outside, so as not to be verbally molested by Xu Buling alone, but it turned out that before she could run down, Xiao Ting threw her down.
Xu Buling heard the movement, and looked at it in a blink of an eye - Xiao Qi dressed up as a man and changed into a black scholar's robe. The hair is tied up with a headband, the whole body is spotless, and even the chest is tied up with a natural arrogance, and it really has a bit of a child's unique taste, the only drawback is that the appearance is too charming, and it looks a little girly.
Xu Buling walked up, his eyes swept over Xiao Qi, and stayed at the placket of Yima Pingchuan:
"Qiqi, why are you dressed like this?"
Xiao Qi was angry when she heard this title, and she didn't know how Xu Buling came up with it. She walked past Xu Buling without squinting, and responded flatly:
"I didn't want to show my face, so I dressed up casually."
The so-called don't want to show up, strictly speaking, it should be that you don't want to show up with Xu Buling. Most of the families know about Xu Buling's marriage in Huainan, and she has not publicly stated that she wants to marry Xu Buling.
Xu Buling had no opinion on this, and walked side by side with Xiao Qi to the Jinling Poetry Society not far away, and said with a smile:
"I thought hard all night last night, and I thought of a good poem, can Miss Xiao give me a staff officer?"
Xiao Qi squinted slightly, and endured it for a long time, so that he didn't push this man who looked like a jade tree in the wind, but his thoughts couldn't be on the stage, into the river. She didn't want to take on this topic, and turned her head to focus on the saber on Xu Buling's waist:
"A gentleman wears a sword to show his virtue. You are not a gentleman, why bother to bring a sword to be elegant. ”
Regarding this crepe ridicule, Xu Buling didn't care about it, and said with a smile:
"The sword is a ritual weapon, it is better than Xiao Ting holding a fan in winter."
“……”
Xiao Qi held back for a moment, speechless......
