During the meal, Lu Jing and Lu Yiran discussed some official business, and the rest of the people were not focused on eating, so they took a few bites of food with their own hearts.

After Lu Jing finished talking about business, he saw a room full of people quietly, in fact, he shouldn't have talked so much to his family during dinner, but he was busy with official business, and he only saw his family every day for this time to eat.

"Fourth, you're not too young. I look good at Ning Gongzi of Zhennan Wangfu, and I will arrange for you to meet you in a few days. ”

Lu Rongwan stopped her chopsticks abruptly, and said with a pale face: "Father... I'm still young, no... There is no hurry. ”

Lu Jing ignored her words, "Although that kid hasn't been knighted yet, with his talents, he may be able to do something." Besides, he is calm and gentle, and you won't be bullied when you're with him. ”

"I..." Before the words fell, Aunt Bai desperately signaled to Lu Rongwan not to contradict Lu Jing.

"The person that the master has a crush on must not be wrong. It's just that Wan'er is still young now, and she won't be in a hurry to get married for a while. ”

Lu Jing said with satisfaction: "This is nature, let's settle down first." ”

The family was beaming with joy and said goodbye.

Lu Xihe held the soup spoon and looked at the table with a slight distraction.

Ning Gongzi of Zhennan Wangfu is the one who saved her that day.

Father actually wanted to marry the fourth sister to him, but how could he see that the fourth sister was not willing at all?

Lu Yiran kept an eye on her, and when she saw her lowering her head and not speaking, she thought she was sad for that Ning Gongzi.

It was sour for a while, and if he could recover his identity, maybe he wouldn't have to hide this emotion. He could, like everyone else, make overtures to her and make her accept herself. But he can't yet.

"Look at the appearance of the fifth girl, could it be that she is anxious for herself?" Aunt Bai covered her veil and smiled.

Lu Jing was in a good mood, and laughed and said, "The fifth child is still young, so he is not in a hurry for the time being." Father will definitely find a good husband for you! ”

"What did my father say?" Lu Xihe pretended to be angry, and looked like a coquettish person to others.

"Cut, with such a bad temper, I don't think anyone wants to marry you." Lu Yixuan found an opportunity to taunt her.

Lu Xihe glanced at him and countered: "You talk so nastyly, which girl can look at you?" ”

"Ruan Ruan don't have to worry about this." Lu Yiran's voice sounded faintly.

Lu Xihe looked in his direction and crashed into a gaze that was so gentle that it could drown.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Lu Xihe's heart, but unfortunately she didn't have time to catch it.

She was a little panicked by the drumming sound in her heart, and an inexplicable fear lingered in her heart.

Why does she think her eldest brother is strange?

The eldest brother is usually not good to the other siblings, why does he care for her alone?

Or is there some purpose for him?

is as smart as Lu Xihe, but he has made a big mistake in this matter.

According to her habit, she will first think of people in a bad way. So her first reaction was not any family affection, but that the eldest brother knew her secret, or, was looking for an opportunity...

Lu Xihe's eyes had changed when he looked at Lu Yiran again, and Lu Yiran instantly understood her thoughts.

Is she on the lookout for herself? She hated herself in the first place, and it was all messed up like this.

Lu Yiran attributed all this to his lack of forbearance.

So he couldn't help but look at her again, and listened to Lu Jing's nagging in silence.

In Lu Xihe's view, this is a manifestation of his weak heart. He really didn't have good intentions.

But why has a person been acting for so many years?

She was puzzled.

Lu Xihe's health is almost better, and Lu Yiran took her with him under the pretext of going to the capital to do errands.

Qiulan naturally followed, Lu Xihe thought about it, and adding a pothos was enough.

The family instructed her to do many things, not to show her head, not to stand for a long time, etc.

She obediently answered them all.

The two of them, with their attendants and guards, set out in the morning.

The road was far away, Lu Xihe was in the carriage, and Lu Yiran rode a horse to guard the right side of the carriage.

When I arrived in the capital, it was already seven days later.

"Ruan Ruan, come down, we're in the capital." A low voice sounded, Lu Xihe woke up from a confused dream, the blanket on his body slipped off, Qiulan was quick, picked up the blanket and cleaned it up quickly.

Pothos lifted the curtain, "Miss, it's time to the inn." ”

A white hand stretched out, the girl's eyes were charming and charming, the delicate nose, the jade cheeks were slightly red, the delicate lips were as white as snow, and the snow skin was as beautiful as jade.

Lu Xihe got out of the carriage and saw the prosperity of the capital. On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street.

With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are dotted.

Pedestrians on the street are busy with their own work, some are carrying burdens and some are going out to buy.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, it turned out that this was the capital, what was the difference between the prosperous scenery and the sky? It's just that people are different.

Lu Yiran saw that she was fascinated, "You have a good rest today, and when I finish my official duties, I will take you around." ”

"Big brother's official business is important, it's okay." Lu Xihe turned his head and smiled.

"It's not a big deal, I'll take care of it quickly." Lu Yiran handed the horsewhip to the innkeeper and reached out to pick her up.

Without a trace, she dodged and stepped on a small stool and got out of the carriage.

Lu Yiran withdrew his hand indifferently, "These people are kept to protect you, if you have anything you want, tell them to buy it." These two maids can't leave you. ”

Behind him was a group of guards.

Lu Xihe nodded.

Seeing that she ignored herself, Lu Yiran said that she didn't care if it was fake. It's just that after so many years, he has gotten used to it.

"I'm leaving." Lu Yiran sorted out his things and left.

The innkeeper led them into the upper room.

"If the guest officer needs anything, just command." Xiao Er smiled and brought a pot of tea and a plate of fresh melons and fruits.

"There is labor." Lu Xihe sat down on the chair, although she rested in the post house at night, but the bumps along the way really made her a little unbearable.

She cheered up and walked to the room, seeing Xiao Er and the others go out, there were only three people in the room, her and Qiulan Luluo.

The blood on Lu Xihe's face gradually disappeared, and the pothos was startled, "Miss! ”

Qiulan took out a bottle of medicine from her baggage, took out one and fed it to her.

After a while, she finally returned to normal.

"Miss is a little unaccustomed, you go to Xiao Er and ask for some hot water." Qiulan instructed the pothos, and the pothos quickly responded.

Lu Xihe's expression changed suddenly, "Who is it?" ”

A figure at the window blocked the light, and his face could not be seen in the backlight.

"Tsk, there is such a delicate person as you in the General's Mansion." The man jumped out of the window and walked straight towards the two of them.

"Come on, our master has an invite."

Qiulan stood in front of Lu Xihe, "Stop!" Don't come. I'll call someone again! ”

The man smiled instead, "This is the capital, our territory." Even if you scream at your throat, no one will come. Do you know who I am? I am a well-known spicy hand destroying flowers, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it..."

That's a lot of nonsense.

Lu Xihe said silently in the chair.

"This hero, the way you treat seems to be wrong, right?" She said calmly.

When the man saw that she was not afraid, he said curiously, "Do you know who I am?" I am a well-known spicy hand destroying flowers, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows everyone, aren't you afraid of me? ”

Lu Xihe made a frightened look, "I... I'm so scared, you... Stay away from me..."

The man was about to continue, "Is the play over?" Lu Xihe smiled slightly.

"Miss, the capital is not peaceful these days. It's better to let the stars protect you. ”

The man took off his mask, and his delicate face looked like a scholar at first glance. His name is Gong Wuwu, an orphan, and like Xing'er, he is her most important subordinate.

"The Ministry of Works' business is not over yet. Besides, my eldest brother sent a lot of people to my side, I wonder if he knows something, you can send someone to check. If he really finds something..."

"Understood!"

The man walked away like a gust of wind, as he had come.

"Miss..."

Qiulan wanted to speak and stopped.

"I heard that the food in Yujiang Tower is the best in the world, so let's take a look today." Lu Xihe changed into a pink shirt, asked Lu Yiran's people to follow at the back, and the group went to Yujiang Tower.

Yujiang Tower is not a lonely building, several pavilions and pavilions are connected continuously, the eaves are painted at the corner, overlooking the misty Xiaoxiang Lake, the favorite place of the princes, nobles, literati and in the capital.

The carved eaves reflect the sun, and the painting is flying clouds. The blue curtain is low and the window is low, and the green curtain is high on the door.

When she stepped into the door of Yujiang Tower, she didn't know that this moment would affect her life.

Sitting down on the second floor, she ordered a few signature dishes.

At this moment, on the stage on the first floor, a woman with a soft red veil covered her face and danced with the pipa.

Lu Xihe was sitting in a seat where he could just see the situation below.

High places

One man looked in her direction with interest and said to the other, "Fifth brother, when did the capital have such a number one person?" Fifth brother, do you like it or not? ”

A bad smiling face, even the two eyebrows are soft ripples, as if it has always been smiling, crooked, like a bright first quarter moon in the night sky. The fair skin sets off the cherry red lips, the handsome and prominent facial features, and the appearance looks bohemian.

The other person sat upright, playing with a jade wine glass in his hand, with slender ten fingers, deep black and gold eyes, a handsome and extraordinary face, and his gestures exuded a natural imperial domineering in Zaidu, which made it difficult to resist the wild charm.

Hearing this, his eyebrows furrowed as if he were depicted in pine smoke and ink, and his expression was cold.

"What is there to see." He just glanced at it and turned his head.

"Fifth brother, you are really boring, no wonder girls don't like you." The Seventh Prince, Ning Heng, smiled sheepishly, "Fifth brother, you must be hard-mouthed, I'll go and inquire about her name." ”

Ning Yan raised his head and drank a glass of wine, Ning Heng moved very quickly, he had already gone downstairs and walked towards Lu Xihe.
