Chapter 32: Will You Marry Me?

After Murong Zhan left, Lu Wanting instructed Honeysuckle to change back into her original makeup and clothes, and drank a bowl of tea in a big gulp, facing a hypocrite like Murong Zhan, she really felt disgusted, and she regretted what beauty tricks she used.

Honeysuckle said while tearing off the hairpin on Lu Wanting's head: "Miss, this Sixth Highness is so hypocritical!" On weekdays, I look like a dog, but I didn't expect it to be so wrong! ”

Lu Wanting took off the earrings and said: "Some people are like this, the mask has been worn for a long time, and it becomes a face. Hypocrisy is his means, we just need to stay sober and not be fooled by his hypocrisy. ”

"That's what Miss said."

Lu Wanting glanced at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, and said lightly: "This day, it's going to change." ”

Emperor Murong Xuancheng of Donglin has a shadow guard, which is the secret guard of all emperors since the founding of Donglin, and only owes allegiance to the emperor.

On this day, the shadow guard sent by Murong Xuancheng came back to report that there was no one named Lu Wuxian in all the villages on the eastern border, and Murong Xuancheng sighed with some disappointment.

The son surnamed Ye is from Beiyuan, and he must not be an official in Donglin, and he never thought of looking for the son surnamed Ye. But Lu Wuxian is different, he said that he is a native of Donglin, whether it is talent, character, or appearance, he is superior.

The people under him are all old and conservative, and they are all co-opted by his two sons, and now those old things are only bent on keeping the black gauze hat on their heads, and they don't care about the people's livelihood plan.

Murong Xuancheng needed a talent like Lu Wuxian who was dedicated to the public, so he took so much trouble to find it. He originally thought that Lu Wuxian was the son of a minister in the court, but he checked the names of all the family members of officials surnamed Lu, but he still couldn't find Lu Wuxian.

The border villages were also searched, but no trace of them was found. Lu Wuxian, Lu Wuxian, are you really without a trace?

Murong Xuancheng was a little frustrated, and after thinking about it seriously, this must be a pseudonym, and he decided not to look for it anymore. If this Lu Wuxian intends to be in the court, he will be able to see him again one day, but if he is not here, it is useless to force it, but it is inevitable to regret it in his heart.

Li Qingyao, the daughter of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, has good looks and talents, and she is now in her twenty-eighth year. His father, Li Zhichao, took a fancy to Gu Huaiyuan, a new member of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Huaiyuan is twenty years old this year, in his prime, a talent, and he is from the fifth rank at a young age, and his future is unlimited.

Li Zhichao wanted to marry his daughter Li Qingyao to Gu Huaiyuan, he had mentioned this matter to Gu Huaiyuan after a dinner, Gu Huaiyuan had heard of Li Qingyao, and knew that she was talented, so he almost didn't think about it, and promised to come to the door to propose marriage one day.

After Li Qingyao knew that her father had set a marriage for her, she was clamoring not to marry, Li Zhichao ignored her daughter's begging, and strictly ordered her to start making wedding clothes and wait for marriage.

Li Qingyao was sad and angry, and went to Siyuan Lake every day to linger, just to wait for the one in her heart. But since that day, the son surnamed Lu has never appeared again.

Gu Huaiyuan came to the door to propose marriage, set a wedding date with her father, and she even sent someone to Gu's mansion to make a fuss, but Gu Huaiyuan not only was not angry, but also said that he could postpone the marriage and was willing to wait for her.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Lu Wuxian still did not appear, Li Qingyao became lovesick and unwilling to speak, sitting in the courtyard in a daze every day, washing her face with tears.

When Honeysuckle went out to buy, he heard about Li Qingyao and told Lu Wanting to listen, and his words were full of sympathy and pity for Li Qingyao, and finally he couldn't help but slander Lu Wanting: "It's all the fault of the young lady." ”

Lu Wanting smiled awkwardly, "What you said is as if I am a negative man." ”

"If you provoke people, you will disappear, what is not a negative man?"

Lu Wanting was speechless and shook her head helplessly. Get! I have to pay the debt I owe!

So she sent Xuan Ye to follow the outsider named Gu Huaiyuan, strictly speaking, he is already Li Qingyao's fiancΓ©, in order to be responsible for Li Qingyao, Lu Wanting has to know how this Gu Huaiyuan is first.

After following for a few days, Gu Huaiyuan's daily life was very simple, he went back to the house after finishing the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, had dinner, then read in the study, and then went back to the room to sleep, which was a normal work and rest, and he did not find any bad habits.

At the same time, the information sent by the fourth senior brother's people also explained the situation in Gu Huaiyuan's hometown, his father died of illness a few years ago, leaving only his mother at home, his mother is also an excellent person, kind, sensible, and will not gossip behind people's backs. In this way, Gu Huaiyuan is really a good person, if Li Qingyao marries, she doesn't have to worry about Gu Huaiyuan treating her badly, let alone the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After the investigation of Gu Huaiyuan, Lu Wanting decided to meet Li Qingyao, and sent someone to secretly send a letter to Li Qingyao, inviting her to meet in the Drunken Immortal Building two days later.

Li Qingyao couldn't believe it after receiving the letter, the person she was thinking about finally appeared, and she made an appointment to meet herself, no matter what kind of person he was, she decided to go to the appointment, and she wanted to make it clear to him.

"Someone! I'm hungry, I'm going to eat, put more meat! During this time, she didn't know how to eat, she lost a lot of weight, and her face was not good, and in two days, she had to adjust her state and go to see him beautifully.

Two days later, Li Qingyao came to the Drunken Immortal Building, she was wearing the clothes she wore today from the day she first met Lu Wanting, but her figure was a little lighter.

As soon as he stepped into the Drunken Immortal Building, his eyes looked around, but he didn't see Lu Wuxian, Qi Xiong looked at Li Qingyao looking around, and walked forward and asked her, "But Li Qingyao Miss Li?" ”

Li Qingyao glanced at Qi Xiong and asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?" ”

Qi Xiong arched his hand and smiled: "The little one is Qi Xiong, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, and Lu Gongzi ordered me to wait for Miss Li here for a long time." ”

Li Qingyao's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked in surprise, "He's here?!" ”

Qi Xiong replied: "Well, Mr. Lu is in the private room on the second floor, Miss Li, please come with me." ”

"There's a Lautsie shopkeeper." Li Qingyao followed Qi Xiong to the second floor, her steps were light, and she could see that she was very happy.

After leading Li Qingyao into the private room, Qi Xiong left and went downstairs, and motioned to Xiao Erdon't let people disturb him.

Li Qingyao's eyes turned red at the first sight of Lu Wuxian, and the grievances and thoughts of many days were vented with tears at this moment.

Lu Wanting looked at Li Qingyao, who wiped her tears before she could say anything, her expression was a little confused, she scratched her head, and she was a little overwhelmed.

"Miss Li, don't cry!"

Li Qingyao had resentment in her eyes, and sobbed: "Where have you been all these days, I go to Siyuan Lake every day to wait for you, why don't you come to look for me?" ”

Lu Wanting was a little embarrassed, so she could only explain: "I went home during this time and was not in the capital. I didn't know you were waiting for me...... Why don't we sit down first? ”

"Master Lu, do you know that my father arranged a marriage for me?"

"Uh, I heard."

"Then you don't have anything to say to me?" Li Qingyao looked at Lu Wanting with some expectation.

"Say what?" Lu Wanting pretended to be stupid.

Li Qingyao was a little angry, "Do you really not know my heart for you?" ”

"......" Lu Wanting could only drink water to relieve the embarrassment.

Li Qingyao was almost angry, wasn't he quite good at talking when he first met, why was he so wooden today? She thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then I'll tell you directly, are you willing to marry me?" ”

"Poof~cough, cough, cough!" Lu Wanting squirted out a mouthful of tea, she heard it right? Li Qingyao asked her just now if she would like to marry her? It's over, she vows never to flirt with girls casually again!

Li Qingyao looked at Lu Wanting's appearance, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, and tears were in her eyes, "Lu Gongzi doesn't want to?" ”

"Miss Li, we've only met once."

"Although I have only met once, I fell in love with Lu Gongzi at first sight, and on that day, Lu Gongzi hugged me."

"Ahem, ahem!" Lu Wanting felt that the sip of tea she spit out was still very choked, "That day was Lu Mou's abruptness, Miss Li must not take it to heart." ”

The handkerchief in Li Qingyao's hand was twisted by her, and she held back her tears and continued to ask, "Doesn't Gongzi Lu want to be responsible for Qingyao?" Or is it that you have already married a wife, Master Lu? ”

Lu Wanting shook her head, "No, I don't have a family." ”

"Then why doesn't Gongzi Lu refuse to marry Qing Yao?"

Lu Wanting stroked her forehead, what a headache! He thought for a while and said, "Lu is just a grass farmer, his family is poor, and Miss Li's daughter is a daughter, how can she suffer?" ”

"How do you know that I can't stand it, as long as I'm with you..."Li Qingyao's face turned a little red, and she lowered her head and continued: "As long as I'm with you, no matter how rich or poor, Qingyao is willing." ”

Oh, my God! What am I going to do? Lu Wanting shouted God in her heart, she really didn't know what reason to use, how could this girl be willing to let her go!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Li, Lu really can't promise you, because... Because I'm not interested in women! ”

Li Qingyao raised her head suddenly, "What does Lu Gongzi mean by this?" ”

"Do you remember the boy who walked with me when we first met, and he was the man in my heart! That's right! I like men! ”

Li Qingyao's face was a little dark, but she didn't give up, and actually said, "That's okay!" As long as I am given the title of wife, it is good to be able to guard you every day! ”

What? Can you bear this? Telling her that she couldn't break her mind even if she broke her sleeves, Lu Wanting felt that she had underestimated Li Qingyao's receptivity.

She sighed, stood up, took off the hairband that tied her hair, her long hair fluttered like a waterfall, her fingers touched her throat a little, and her voice changed to her original voice, "What if I'm a woman?" ”

Li Qingyao looked at Lu Wanting, who was covered with loose hair, as if she had been struck by lightning, with an unbelievable expression.

"How so?"

Lu Wanting sighed, "Miss Li, I am actually a woman, I dressed up as a man on a whim, and I felt guilty in my heart when I made a mistake. ”

The tears in Li Qingyao's eyes smashed big on her hands, how could she be a woman? Why is Lu Gongzi, who she thinks about day and night, a woman?!

"Miss Li, I helped you investigate that Gu Huaiyuan, his character is excellent, he is definitely a good man, if you marry him, you will live a very happy life in the future."

Li Qingyao raised her head, looked at Lu Wanting, and yelled at her: "Don't say it, I don't want to listen to you now!" ”

Lu Wanting was frightened by her, and stood next to her and didn't dare to speak again.
