Chapter 255: The Beginning of the Cycle (3)
Lu Xiu had a long, long dream.
She dreamed that when she was a child, she could see things that ordinary people couldn't see, and she told her family that they thought she was a monster, and that she didn't know how to kill her, and that her mother took her around alone.
Later, her mother remarried and gave her the surname Lu, and she no longer told anyone that she could see the spirits wandering around, let alone tell anyone else, because she knew almost everyone's secrets about those spirits.
Those secrets are hidden under the glamorous clothes and identities, invisible to the light, ugly and hideous.
Except for his mother, there doesn't seem to be a good person in this world.
Later, when she entered the palace, those spirits helped her quickly win the love of the Queen Mother, and her life seemed to have become a little better, but only she knew that it had actually gotten worse.
She was haunted by those spirits who couldn't sleep day and night, trapped in this deep palace, unable to free or leave, day and night constantly talking about the grievances and regrets of her life.
Fortunately, because of Shen Bai, she was no longer bothered by these things, she enjoyed this peace very much, no longer had soul troubles, and no more all kinds of strange things suddenly appeared in front of her.
Because of those things, she doesn't have many friends, and she doesn't have much pursuit of life, she just hopes that she can live an ordinary and stable life.
So even if the Lu family declined, she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
The dream behind became a little chaotic and broken, she dreamed that Zhang Hao was pestering herself for a while, and then she dreamed that Zhou Jue was pressing her in the simple inn room, making her hurt and making her cry.
The dream became a nightmare in the end, and Lu Xiu woke up from the dream, she sat up in fright, gasping for breath.
My throat was dry and my head was groggy, like I had a hangover all night.
Subconsciously raised her hand to press her temple, and after a while, she recovered and found that she was not at home, but in a strange room.
The room was much larger than the one she lived in now, and the overall style of the room was cold, there was nothing bright, the inside and outside were open, and the silver armor and broadsword in the middle of the room could be seen at a glance.
This is a general's room.
Lu Xiu made a judgment for the first time, and then lowered his head, finding that the clothes on his body had been changed, and he was only loosely draped in a cotton soft coat.
The outer shirt is also a man's, embroidered with pine leaves with silver thread, and the stitches look a little familiar, and before Lu Xiu could identify it, the door was pushed open.
Lu Xiu instinctively grabbed the quilt to block her body, Chun Ling walked to the side of the bed with her clothes in her hand, and said softly, "Miss, it's me." ”
Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, probably guessing where he was now, and his brows furrowed.
Chun Ling put the clothes aside and said, "Miss's clothes were wet with wine last night, and they haven't dried after changing them and washing them. ”
Zhou Jue not only asked people to prepare clothes, but also had belly pockets.
Lu Xiu was not very comfortable, but she didn't bother so much, she lifted the quilt to change her clothes, and when she was about to get dressed, she couldn't help but ask: "Who helped me change my clothes last night?" ”
Chun Ling glanced at her timidly and asked, "Miss doesn't remember what happened last night?" ”
After a pause in the action of tying the belt, a picture flashed quickly in Lu Xiu's mind.
Zhou Jue bullied her and pressed her, her eyes were a little red for some reason, and the desire in her was surging, she was so frightened that she wanted to cry, and seemed to say weakly: "I'm afraid of pain." ”
She doesn't remember much about the rest.
Chun Ling is timid and has little strength, and most of the clothes are not changed by her.
Lu Xiuqiang pretended to be calm and said, "I remember." ”
After a simple freshening up, Lu Xiu took Chun Ling out to thank Zhou Jue and then say goodbye, but just went out but saw Zhou Jue coming with a cold face, he was in a hurry, it seemed that something had happened, and Lu Xiu swallowed all the manuscripts he had made.
"Come with me to the Guogong Mansion."
After saying this, Zhou Jue directly pulled Lu Xiu's wrist and walked out, he walked fast, and Lu Xiu had to trot with his skirt to keep up with him.
Zhou Jue only called her, and Lu Xiu turned her head to tell Chun Ling to stay and not follow.
Suspecting that the carriage was not fast enough, Zhou Jue rode the horse directly, and Lu Xiu was not easy to refuse, pulling his hand to get on the horse, and the whole person was almost completely embraced by him.
The hour was not early, the streets were full of people, and the two of them riding a horse together were very conspicuous, and Lu Xiu unconsciously buried his head in his chest.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at the Guogong Mansion, the two of them went in together, the doorkeeper led the way, and said anxiously: "The little young master has had a fever since last night, the doctor invited him, and the medicine was drunk, but the fever has not subsided, and the little young master has been crying non-stop, the old man has not slept all night, and he is really out of line, so he asked Commander Zhou to come and see." ”
Zhang Jun went to Yuanfeng County, and now there is only one young master in the Guogong Mansion, Gu Shaoyin.
Lu Xiu secretly looked at Zhou Jue's expression, Zhou Jue's face was stiff, and the aura around his body was quite cold, and he couldn't tell whether he was worried or dissatisfied.
When I was about to reach the main courtyard, I heard the cry of a child in the distance, and after crying all night, the voice was already a little hoarse, and it fell on my ears very pitifully.
Lu Xiu's heart fluttered, and he entered the courtyard with Zhou Jue, Gu Tingge walked around the courtyard with Gu Shaoyin in his arms, gently patting Gu Shaoyin's back with his palm, without a little impatience.
Gu Shaoyin's face was red from crying, he couldn't breathe, and the situation was very bad when he saw it.
"I've seen Guogong."
Zhou Jue bowed, Lu Xiu also followed the blessing body, Gu Tingge said: "At this time, there is no need for these false courtesies, this child has been crying, it is useless to coax the nurse, has he ever been like this before?" ”
Zhou Jue shook his head, although he rarely accompanied Jiang Qinse and the children before, he still knew their basic situation.
Gu Tingge frowned, he didn't know what to do, Zhou Jue glanced at Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu didn't think he had the ability to coax the child, but he couldn't resist Zhou Jue's gaze, and said stubbornly: "It's better to let me try." ”
It was a little strange for Zhou Jue to bring Lu Xiu over today, Gu Tingge hesitated, and still handed over the child to Lu Xiu.
The child is almost three years old, although his life experience is a little complicated, he has not been treated harshly in the Guogong Mansion, he looks white and fat, Lu Xiu is a little unable to hold it, and he has not left the cabinet, and the posture of holding the child is not very right.
The nurse standing next to her was just about to remind, but Gu Shaoyu's cry was magically weak.
The nurse was pleasantly surprised: "It's really useful, the little master likes this girl!" ”
After being argued all night, the child finally stopped crying at this time, and Gu Tingge's brows were loosened.
The nurse hurriedly said: "From last night to now, the little young master has only drunk a bowl of medicine, and he hasn't eaten anything, so please feed the little young master something to the girl." ”
Lu Xiu nodded, and Gu Tingge said, "It's cold outside, go in and sit and feed slowly." ”
Lu Xiu took Gu Shaoyin and the nurse into the house together, and the next person quickly sent porridge.
Under the guidance of the nurse, Lu Xiu fed Gu Shaoyin and ate a small half bowl of porridge, he cried all night, and he was also very tired, and fell asleep soon after eating, but his little hands tightly grasped Lu Xiu's clothes, once Lu Xiu wanted to leave, he would frown and snort dissatisfiedly.
Afraid that he would continue to cry, Lu Xiu could only sleep with him, and the nurse eagerly took the thin quilt and covered it with the two of them.
Gu Shaoyin has a good smell of milk, Lu Xiu has been dreaming last night and hasn't slept well, and he fell asleep unconsciously while lying down.
But she did not sleep deeply, and fell into a strange dream, in which there were always the cries of children, and she followed the sound for a long time, until at last she cleared the fog and saw a pile of graves overgrown with wild grass.
On the grave in the middle, there was a woman wearing a cape, wearing prison clothes, the woman's clothes were all soaked with blood, and there was an obvious knife on her neck.
I hadn't seen such a picture for a long time, Lu Xiu was so frightened that she gasped, and subconsciously retreated, and the woman immediately looked at her.
Most of the woman's eyes are white, lifeless, and without the agility and gentleness of life.
It's Jiang Qinse.
Jiang Qinse only glanced at it, then ignored Lu Xiu anymore, humming a lullaby and bowing her head to coax Gu Shaoyin, her skin was also gray and gray, her nails were black and long, every time she patted Gu Shaoyin's back, Lu Xiu was worried that the nails would cut Gu Shaoyin's skin.
After humming the lullaby, Lu Xiu woke up, Gu Shaoyin was still asleep, but his whole body was hot, like a small stove, Lu Xiu called the nurse, fed him medicine again, and helped him wipe his body.
I slept a little long this night, it was almost dark outside, Zhou Jue only took a break today, came over to take a look before Lu Xiu woke up, and then went to the palace.
The people in the second room colluded with Jiang Yinglou at that time, and almost killed Gu Shaoyin and Zhang Jun, who were found out by the people of Dali Temple, and had already been exiled in accordance with the law, and only Gu Tingge and Gu Shaoyin lived in the entire Guogong Mansion, and the subordinates had already helped Lu Xiu clean up the guest room and come out, and they didn't plan to let her go before Gu Shaoyin got well.
At dinner, Chun Ling was also sent over, but the nurse did everything she could, and she could only talk to Lu Xiu.
Gu Shaoyan was a little sick for a long time this time, he drank a lot of medicine, the fever just couldn't go away, and it was useless for the doctor to come to see it, Lu Xiu was worried, and when Zhou Jue came to the Guogong Mansion again, he found an opportunity to ask him alone: "Did anyone accept Mrs. Zhou's corpse?" ”
No one has seen Jiang Qinse in front of Zhou Jue for a long time, Zhou Jue immediately frowned, and anger rose between his eyebrows, Lu Xiu was quite afraid of him like this, but thinking of Gu Shaoyin's emaciated appearance, he still stubbornly said: "On the day I first came to the Guogong Mansion, I had a very strange dream, I knew that it might sound a little out of tune, but I still wanted to go and worship her." ”
That dream only came up once, and then it became normal.
Lu Xiu wasn't sure if the dream was hinting at her, but it was too pitiful to see Gu Shaoyu being sick, and she wanted to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so she just gave it a try.
Zhou Jue looked at Lu Xiu for a long time, and then relented and said: "The Zhou family didn't clean her up, the body was handled by the officials of Dali Temple, and it was generally buried in a mass grave in the north of the city." ”
"I see."
Lu Xiu turned his head and asked Chun Ling to prepare incense candles and paper money, and after coaxing Gu Shao to fall asleep, he cautiously got out, and promised the nurse that he would come back soon, and then took Chun Ling out.
As soon as he went out, Zhou Jue rode a horse and waited at the door.
He straightened his back and sat on the horse's back, and said condescendingly: "The carriage is too slow, you may wake up at any time if you drink less, I will take you out of the city." ”
Lu Xiu pondered for a moment, took the things prepared by Chun Ling in his hand, and grabbed Zhou Jue's hand on the horse.
This time she sat in the back, and as soon as she got on the horse, she heard Zhou Jue's calm order: "Hold it tight." ”
Lu Xiu gritted his teeth and hugged Zhou Jue's waist, and Zhou Jue immediately whipped on the horse's ass and galloped out of the city.
It was already summer, the weather was hot, and the wind rolled up the hem of their clothes and intertwined them, inexplicably intimate.
It was the first time for Lu Xiu to ride a horse like this, and he was a little scared, so he unconsciously hugged Zhou Jue tighter.
Both of them are not dressed thickly, and through their clothes, Lu Xiu can clearly feel Zhou Jue's tight back, and the inch-inch stiff texture, and his face is a little hot.
After half an hour, the two stepped on the last rays of afterglow to reach the mass grave in the north of the city.
The sun is setting down the clouds, the night is swallowing everything little by little, there is no moon tonight, and the mass grave looks eerie.
Lu Xiu shuddered, she could see souls since she was a child, she rarely came to this kind of place, and she was glad that Zhou Jue accompanied her. The area of the mass grave is a bit large, there are weeds everywhere, and there is a faint smell of rotting corpses, Lu Xiu covered his nose, tried to recall the scene in the dream to identify, and finally stopped in front of a mound.
"You've dreamed of this too?"
Zhou Jue asked, Lu Xiu nodded, and took out incense candles and paper money.
Zhou Jue took out the fire fold, Lu Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he mustered up his courage and said: "The commander of Zhou is here, and he will also give Mrs. Zhou incense, people die like lights going out, it has been so long, and you can't keep stalking." ”
Zhou Jue didn't say anything, took a pair of candles and lit them on the mound, and then lit incense.
Lu Xiu lit the paper money with a candle, and Chun Ling prepared a lot of things, and it took a while to burn them out.
Lu Xiu didn't have much friendship with Jiang Qinse, and when the last bit of paper money was burned, he silently said in his heart: He is your son after all, no matter what obsession you have, don't hurt him.
Zhou Jue's impression of Jiang Qinse was already very light, although he accompanied Lu Xiu here, he was not sure if Jiang Qinse was buried under the mound, and when the last bit of fire was extinguished, he whispered: "I have never been sorry for you." ”
After saying that, he stood up, and Lu Xiu got up and rode back to the mansion together.
When he went back, Gu Shaoyu hadn't woken up yet, for fear of bringing him bad luck, Lu Xiu washed up and changed his clothes before going to see him.
As if he had a sense, Lu Xiu woke up as soon as he entered the house and Gu Shao drank it, but he didn't cry, he just opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Xiu with a dripping look.
He slept all day long, and he seemed to be in good spirits at this time, and Lu Xiu teased him for a while.
I drank the medicine again at night, Gu Shaoyu kept sweating at night, Lu Xiu hardly slept much, got up twice at night to help him change clothes, and the next evening, Gu Shaoyin's fever finally subsided. Dancing God eBook
Lu Xiu wasn't sure if this was the credit of worship, anyway, Gu Shaoyin's illness would be cured.
There is only Gu Shaoyu in the Guogong Mansion who is a child, he is sick, and everyone up and down is worried, and now that he is sick, the whole Guogong Mansion is naturally happy.
Gu Tingge's emotions have never been exposed, but he also obviously felt that he was very happy, and when he faced Lu Xiu, his expression also eased, and he said softly: "Since this kid likes you, come and see him more when you have time, he is young and doesn't know anything, and he needs someone to accompany him."
"Okay." Lu Xiu responded and didn't take the opportunity to make more requests, Gu Tingge thought for a while and said, "I heard that you only live in a small courtyard with a maid now. ”
"Yes, the Lu family is gone, my parents have long since died, and I have no one else to run to, so I bought a house in the city to live in."
"It shouldn't be safe for two weak women to be outside, I heard that you want to hire a nursing home?" Gu Tingge wouldn't ask this for no reason, Lu Xiu looked at him in surprise, Gu Tingge didn't have a daughter, and felt that her reaction was quite cute, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of nursing homes in the Guogong Mansion, you can pick two, which can be regarded as a thank you gift for drinking with you for a few days." ”
If it had been placed before, Lu Xiu would definitely refuse, she hadn't done anything in the past few days, she just lived in the Guogong Mansion with good food and drink, how could she need any thanks?
But the experience of the night in the White Mansion and the Lanyue Pavilion made Lu Xiu still have palpitations, the nursing home outside was not as reliable as the nursing home of the Guogong Mansion, and they were not as strong as their martial arts, this thank you gift was too heavy and tempting.
Lu Xiu knelt down directly and said loudly: "Lu Xiu Xie Guogong, no matter where Lu Xiu is in the future or what kind of situation he is in, he will pray for Guogong, and I wish Guogong good health and worry-free!" ”
There was no excuse, and he thanked him generously, but he didn't get an inch, Gu Tingge looked at Lu Xiu's eyes with more appreciation.
The Lu family was defeated, although he did not fall into the ground, but he was also unaccustomed to some of the practices of the Queen Mother and the Lu family, but he didn't expect the Lu family to raise such a girl.
Gu Tingge spoke, and after lunch, his subordinates led Lu Xiu to pick two nursing homes.
When she came, she rode a horse with Zhou Jue, and when she left, the Guogong Mansion directly prepared a wide carriage for her.
The two nurses drove, and after getting into the car, Lu Xiu found that there were still a lot of things in the carriage, which were very valuable, Chun Ling was stunned, and said sneeringly: "Miss, Lord Guogong is really generous." ”
Gu Tingge has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he is not a person who values things outside his body, and now the second room is not there, only Gu Shaoyin is accompanied by a child, Lu Xiu can be liked by Gu Shaoyin, and Gu Tingge will naturally not be stingy.
However, Lu Xiu knew that the deeper reason behind it was that she was brought by Zhou Jue.
Gu Shaoyin's existence always reminds the Gu family that they are ashamed of the Zhou family, and Gu Tingge is also in disguise to make up for Zhou Jue in this way.
Lu Xiu had a little headache, she obviously wanted to make a clear relationship with Zhou Jue, but she didn't expect to have a skin-to-skin relationship again, Zhou Jue also took her to see Gu Tingge, and let her contact Gu Shaoyin, isn't she afraid of causing criticism?
Lu Xiu didn't know how to deal with the relationship with Zhou Jue, so he returned home hesitantly, and as soon as he sat down, the Zhou family sent someone to send something again.
A box of pearls, a box of jade, and several pairs of earrings are all things for the girl's family, adding up to more than when Lu Xiu was by the Queen Mother's side.
The excuse of the Zhou family is the same, thank you.
Although Gu Shaoyin changed his surname to Gu, he used to be on the Zhou family tree, and the Zhou family's request for gratitude is also reasonable.
Lu Xiu didn't refuse, and asked the gift-giver to talk to Commander Xie Zhou, and on the second day, he asked Chun Ling to be two strings of pearls, buy some new fabrics, and hire two embroidery girls.
The Bai family has not received the final payment, with these thank-you gifts, the ready-to-wear shop does not have to worry for the time being, but Lu Xiu did not plan to suffer this loss.
The Bai family's way of doing things in Beijing will offend people sooner or later, just wait slowly.
Zhao Mingxi was arrested for visiting Lanyue Pavilion, Prince Xiao criticized her fiercely, and after returning to the palace, Zhao Che punished her for thinking about it, and she was not released until after the queen's canonization ceremony.
She didn't dare to leave the palace again, and begged the queen for a long time before she posted a post to invite Lu Xiu into the palace.
Lu Xiu was summoned to the queen's Zhuangshen Palace.
Just after the establishment, Zhuang Shen Palace was full of joy, Lu Xiu waited in the front hall for a while, and the queen was accompanied by Gong E in gorgeous clothes.
"The people's daughter Lu Xiu visited the queen's mother, and the mother was blessed with Jin'an."
Lu Xiu knelt down and saluted, trying to do her best in every move, after all, the person sitting at the top was surnamed Wei, and her surname was Lu.
"No need to be polite, get up."
The queen said gently, her tone was steady, not oppressive, but generous.
Lu Xiu stood up, lowered her head and only looked at the upper of her shoes, the queen looked at her, and said: "This palace will not be hostile to all people surnamed Lu, the girl doesn't have to be so nervous, today it was Xi'er who summoned you into the palace with this palace, not to find you trouble, the girl can relax." ”
The queen was very calm, and Lu Xiu finally looked up at her.
She is very young, wearing the queen's regular clothes, with exquisite makeup, noble and dignified, and an approachable warmth flowing between her eyebrows and eyes, which is completely different from the queen mother, and the concubines in Lu Xiu's impression are not the same.
Lu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down as instructed, and drank tea slowly.
After a while, Zhao Mingxi came, and the queen asked everyone else to step down, and Zhao Mingxi asked Lu Xiu: "Sister Xiu'er was okay that day, right?" ”
Lu Xiu was a little afraid that she would tell Zhou Jue, so she hurriedly said, "It's okay." ”
Zhao Mingxi was suffocated, opened the chatterbox, and said: "I was just curious to go and see, I didn't expect that place to be so sinister, it would actually drug people, if you didn't let Commander Zhou come to me that day, maybe I would have been fooled, and then the imperial brother would definitely not be able to spare me." ”
The fifth princess married Nanxiang, and now there is only one princess in the royal family, Zhao Mingxi, she is close to the queen, and she has not hidden anything from the queen, hearing her say this, the queen can't help but say: "Your Majesty will not spare you is one thing, if you suffer a loss in that kind of place, you will only regret it for life." ”
The queen's tone was three points reproachful and seven points distressed, Zhao Mingxi hugged her arm and coquettishly: "Imperial sister-in-law, I really know that I was wrong, I will never be like this again in the future, you can spare me." ”
The queen poked Zhao Mingxi's head, knowing that she was scared of being punished by Zhao Che, so she didn't say more, looked at Lu Xiu, and asked, "I heard that Miss Lu opened a ready-to-wear shop?" ”
Lu Xiu replied respectfully: "Yes, it's just a small business, just to make a living." ”
"Bengong remembers that when Xi'er was sixteenth birthday, you gave her a dress, the pattern is very chic, Xi'er likes it very much, and always wears it, Bengong thinks that the pattern is also very beautiful, I haven't seen it anywhere else, but you designed it yourself?"
The queen seemed very interested in these, Lu Xiu's heart was beating slightly, and she replied excitedly: "The clothes in the ready-to-wear shop are all designed by the people themselves, and it is an honor for the women to be able to enter the eyes of the mother." ”
The queen felt that Lu Xiu's temperament was very good, and said: "The clothes of the Internal Affairs Office are just a few things, there is nothing new, and when the weather is hot, the palace will accompany His Majesty to the palace to escape the summer, you make a few clothes for the palace, if it looks good, every season in the future, the private clothes of the palace will be handed over to your shop to do." ”
This is a sure-fire deal, Lu Xiu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”
"You saved Xi'er this time, it is a great credit, these are all you deserve, but Your Majesty is still angry, in a few days, when Your Majesty is angry, this palace can give you the identity of an imperial businessman, and it will be more convenient to act in the capital at that time."
The Lu family had been involved in the imperial merchants before, and Lu Xiu didn't dare to think about this, so he hurriedly said: "The folk girl doesn't have such great ambitions, she just hopes to live in peace, Xie Niangniang Longen." ”
Lu Xiu's head was close to the ground, and the queen didn't insist, she chatted for a while, and went to other things, Zhao Mingxi and Lu Xiu walked out of Zhuangshen Palace together.
Lu Xiu's palms were still sweating, and Zhao Mingxi whispered: "Sister Xiu, don't blame the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial brother and the imperial grandmother have a knot, you were favored by the imperial grandmother's side in the early years, if the imperial sister-in-law goes to the imperial brother to help you speak at this time, the imperial brother may be angry, and it will be fine after a while." ”
"It's good now, and I have to thank Her Royal Highness Princess for today's matter." Lu Xiu was very sincerely grateful, Zhao Mingxi looked at her and stopped, and finally didn't say anything, and separated from Lu Xiu at Xuanyingmen.
After the defeat of the Lu family, she had not entered the palace for a long time.
The palace wall is still as high as in memory, with green tiles and red bricks, carrying all the wealth and majesty of the entire imperial city.
She didn't see the Queen Mother when she was seriously ill and left, and she heard that the Queen Mother walked peacefully and without any pain, but on the day the Queen Mother was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the emperor did not attend the funeral under the pretext of having official business, and never went to worship again.
Lu Xiu is actually quite regrettable, after all, she lived quite comfortably in the years when she was by the Queen Mother's side.
She walked back slowly, quietly feeling the flow of the breath of this palace, and when she was about to leave the palace, Zhou Jue led a team of Praetorian Guards to meet her.
He was dressed in silver armor, the same as she had seen in his room before, the armor on him was more heroic and handsome than she had imagined.
Lu Xiu consciously leaned against the wall, lowered her head and looked at the moss-covered brick cracks, Zhou Jue led the Praetorian Guards to walk slowly in front of her, until she couldn't hear their footsteps at all, Lu Xiu straightened up, and the corners of her lips rose unconsciously.
It's so lucky, I actually met Commander Zhou.
What she didn't know was that after the Praetorian Guards rounded the corner, they all frowned and secretly communicated.
Commander Zhou is a little weird today, he actually went around such a long way to see the girl!
After leaving the palace and going back in a carriage, Lu Xiu began to make the clothes that the queen wanted.
In the years when she was by the Queen Mother's side, she learned a lot of rules, and knew that the clothes worn by the nobles in the palace were very particular, which had many restrictions on the design, and the requirements were naturally high.
Clothes should be worn in the palace to escape the summer, cool is the first thing, but the identity of the queen is there, not too frivolous, good looking at the same time still dignified atmosphere.
Lu Xiu was not satisfied with several drafts, and was about to take Chun Ling out to find inspiration, when Jinglan Silk Village sent someone to send a letter, saying that their owner had time to see Lu Xiu.
After getting the reply, Lu Xiu knew that the owner of the village was interested in his drawings, and things became easier to do, Lu Xiu said to the man that he would go to Yunshan Temple to incense first, and the owner could go with him if he had time.
The other party replied quickly, and we can go together.
So three days later, Lu Xiu and Chun Ling sat in a carriage outside the city to meet the carriage of Jinglan Silk Village.
The carriage that Gu Tingge prepared for Lu Xiu and the others was already luxurious, but the carriage that the owner sat in was even more luxurious, and the fabric used on the sedan chair alone was very good.
The other party didn't mean to say hello, so Lu Xiu just opened the curtain and glanced at it without saying much.
The carriage came to the foot of Yunshan Temple, Lu Xiu and Chun Ling got off together, and the nurse helped take down the things they had prepared, and at this time the owner reached out and opened the curtain.
The hand that pulls the curtain is very beautiful, slender and snow-white, with distinct bone joints, like a slender and straight green bamboo, and when the curtain is completely opened, the man's handsome face like jade is revealed.
He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a large piece of vermilion birds embroidered with gold thread on his clothes, which was extravagant but handsome.
The person is extremely good-looking, but the face looks very familiar.
The man got out of the carriage and stood in the wheel and looked at Lu Xiu, his eyes flashed slightly, and he obviously recognized her.
Lu Xiu reacted first, and said: "I finally saw the owner of the village, the owner of the village is so graceful and graceful, which really surprised the little woman." ”
The man got out of the car, looked at Lu Xiu from head to toe, hooked his lips to reveal a amorous smile, and said jokingly: "If I'm not mistaken, this is not the first time we have met." ”
The first time they met, in the Lanyue Pavilion.
However, there was only a quick glance at it that time, and Lu Xiu didn't intend to admit it, saying: "Today is the first time I have met the owner of the village, and the owner may have recognized the wrong person." ”
"Really?" The man raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept over her waist meaningfully, and he still remembered the soft and flexible touch.
Lu Xiu smiled politely and detachedly, and insisted on answering, "Yes." ”
The man stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the mountain, Lu Xiu and Chun Ling slowly followed.
After walking for a while, the man turned around and asked, "Did Xuanyin tell you that my surname is Wei?" ”
Of course, Xuanyin said it, in Xuanyin's mouth, the owner of Jinglan Silk Village, surnamed Wei Mingchen, is a very cheerful and righteous person, and he will never be preconceived and prejudiced against others because of personal grievances.
Although he had only met it twice, Lu Xiu felt that Xuanyin's evaluation of Wei Mingchen was not true.
Lu Xiu took two quick steps to keep up with Xuanyin and said, "Xuanyin Gongzi naturally said that the owner of the village is famous. ”
"Then you dare to come to see me?" Wei Mingchen's voice raised slightly, Lu Xiu laughed, and asked rhetorically: "I have no grievances with the owner, why don't you dare to come to see me?" ”
No grievances?
Wei Mingchen didn't agree with these four words, but he didn't say anything and continued to walk towards the mountain.
He looked quite bookish, but his physical strength was quite good, and after a while, he left Lu Xiu and Chun Ling far behind, and when Lu Xiu and Chun Ling climbed up the mountain, he had already finished walking around the temple and used the fast leisurely.
Lu Xiu was not in a hurry, and after resting for a while, he went to donate sesame oil money first.
Because Wei Ruzhao has led the practice here, the incense in the temple has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and more and more people have come to worship the Buddha. ”
Turning around, the woman with hanging eyes in the Bai family walked towards her.
