In February last year, on the day of the marriage of Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, and the Duke Huan Ji of Linhe County, the unmarried girls of the princes and nobles of Jiankang City, high-ranking officials and dignitaries all gathered in the inner courtyard of the Langya Palace, and Lu Weirui also came to congratulate, so Lu Weirui knew Sima Daofu, and Sima Daofu's heart was shaky that day, and he turned a blind eye to the things in front of him, and he didn't remember seeing Lu Weirui at all. Did the lady of the Xie family come that day? It's that Yongsu Xie Daoyun-

"Here we are." Lu Weirui said: "It's a tall and elegant girl in the county, I didn't know it at first, and when I asked others, I said that this is the lady of the Xie family." ”

Sima Daofu didn't remember the appearance of Xie Daoyun in women's clothes, nor did she see Zhu Yingtai, who joined the army in Xifu, she didn't know if the shocking rumors she heard from Li Jingshu were true, but she was very willing to say it in front of Lu Weirui and see how Lu Weirui reacted-

"Yes, is Xie Daoyun very tall?" Sima Daofu asked.

Lu Weirui had seen Xie Daoyun twice, and the other time was in Waguan Temple, and nodded: "Yes, it is three or four inches taller than me, about seven feet and two inches." ”

Sima Daofu looked at Lu Weirui, this little lady Lu is also very slender, slightly taller than her, and Xie Daoyun is three or four inches taller than Little Lady Lu, and Jun Mo looks very good when he pretends to be a man, well, it seems that the rumors are true-

"I heard rumors that the daughter of the Xie family dressed up as a man and went to Xifu to be an official, and that Zhu Yingtai is her!" Sima Daofu spoke bluntly and quickly, and he didn't know what the euphemism was, so he said it all at once.

"Ahh Lu Weirui is walking on the side of a clump of okra, hearing that the words are really delicate, a lot of hazy images in the past suddenly became clear, Lu Weirui saw the Zhu Yingtai for the first time in the Taolin Xiaozhu of Wu County, and then saw her again in Tiger Hill, she had a bad impression of Zhu Yingtai, and there was no intersection in the next few years, and she did not hear any news about Zhu Yingtai, and when Chen Caozhi came to Jiankang last year, this Zhu Yingtai immediately appeared, first went to Xifu as a Peng official, and then went to the meeting with Chen Caozhi as the deputy envoy of the soil to inspect the book, And Xie Daoyun, who previously held a monthly Qingtan Yaji in Wuyi Lane, disappeared, and then think about the appearance of Zhu Yingtai and Xie Daoyun, it is really very similar, the figures of women's Xie Daoyun and men's Zhu Yingtai overlap and become one, that's right, Xie Daoyun is Zhu Yingtai, and Zhu Yingtai is Xie Daoyun!

Sima Daofu stared at Lu Weirui intently, seeing that Lu Weirui's expression was first shocked, then suddenly, and then frowned and pondered, but without a word, Sima Daofu asked: "Does Little Lady Lu think this matter is credible?" ”

Lu Weirui came back to her senses, suppressed the shock in her heart, and asked rhetorically: "Where did the county lord hear this rumor?" ”

Sima Daofu was not completely devoid of any concerns, she remembered that she swore not to tell Li Jingshu, and said: "I heard what the people in the palace said, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Lu Weirui said calmly: "It should be a rumor, how can a woman be an official!" ”

Sima Daofu saw that Lu Weirui's reaction was not as she expected, so he simply said what she wanted to say the most: "It shouldn't be a rumor, Xie Daoyun is Zhu Yingtai, he fell in love with Chen Caozhi when he was a classmate in Wu County, Chen Caozhi is his mother and filial piety, Xie Daoyun talked about refusing marriage in Wuyi Lane, so many children of the family Xie Daoyun can't look down on any of them, isn't it just waiting for Chen Caozhi!" After Chen Caozhi arrived in Jiankang, Xie Daoyun simply disguised himself as a man and followed him to Xifu to be an official, what a bold act, even I admire it, and this time Chen Caozhi went to Chang'an, then Xie Daoyun was sent to Shouyang——"

When Sima Daofu spoke, his eyes were fixed on Lu Weirui's eyes, and he saw that a layer of mist floated in those beautiful eyes, well, I'm going to cry, I'm going to cry, crying-

When Lu Weirui was sure that Zhu Yingtai was Xie Daoyun, she thought of what Sima Daofu said, these things were not wrong, Xie Daoyun must have come out for Chen Caozhi's talent, in order to be with Chen Caozhi-

The impact is too great, who can withstand it suddenly? Who can not be jealous, not sad, not resentful?

"But why did Sima Daofu talk about this at this time, did she want to see my jokes and see me cry bitterly? Why did she do this, I didn't offend her! ”

Lu Weirui didn't dare to blink her eyes, for fear that if she blinked, tears would fall, she took out a silk handkerchief from the bottom of her sleeve, wiped her eyes calmly, and said slowly: "At first glance, it's a little uncomfortable - but what can I do if the lady of the Xie family wants to like Chen Langjun, can I stop her from liking?" Can Chen Langjun stop her from liking? No! It's like a blooming flower tree, everyone likes to watch, Chen Langjun Jiang Zuo Weiju, last year into Jiankang thousands of empty alleys to see, and received many sachets and flowers and fruits from the girl? ”

Sima Daofu never expected Lu Weirui to say this, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, until he left the Lu Mansion, he still couldn't understand how Lu Weirui could react like this?

Sima Daofu in history, regardless of whether Wang Xianzhi is married or not, and whether Wang Xianzhi is lame with Ai, he still has to marry Wang Xianzhi, of course, now she believes that Chen Caozhi is gone.

Where can Sima Daofu, a straightforward and straightforward person, understand Lu Weirui's thoughts, but even those who are as smart and clever as Li Jingshu don't understand, Li Jingshu is also very surprised to learn from Sima Daofu's mouth that Lu Weirui actually reacted like this, whether Lu Weirui is stupid or sage, just obedient, resigned to fate, and has no heart for competition? Aren't you jealous?

Li Jingshu was very puzzled, and she couldn't figure it out, maybe Lu Weirui was trying to save face in front of Sima Daofu, but Li Jingshu refused to just give up, she wanted to stir up Jiankang into a crowd of discussions, make Chen Caozhi's reputation ruined, and disgrace the noble Chen Jun Xie family!

Zhang Tongyun and Xiaochan stayed in the Lu Mansion to have lunch with Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun and Lu Weirui, and Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Weirui ate very little, so she said, "What's wrong with Weirui?" Today, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xi are here, you should relieve your worries and be happy. ”

Lu Weirui said with a smile: "Yes, but I don't think about tea and dinner." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, shook her head, and didn't say anything more, she also knew that it was far from the time to be at ease and happy, and it would be good for Chen Caozhi to come back.

Lu Weirui thought about it and decided to tell Ah Tong and Xiaochan this in advance, Sima Daofu didn't know where to get this secret, he had bad intentions, and he would definitely not keep this matter tight-lipped, maybe Jiankang City would soon spread the word.

In the afternoon, Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun and Xiaochan rested under the lilac trellis in the back garden, the sun in July was still blazing, the lilac flowers had withered, the three of them sat under the flower stand, occasionally withered lilacs fell, and then looked at the muddy ground under their feet, purple petals scattered all over the ground.

Lu Weirui asked Xiaochan: "Sister Xiaochan, what kind of person do you think Zhu Yingtai is when he joins the army in Naxi Mansion?" ”

Xiaochan said: "The person who can make my little Langjun respect is of course an extremely smart person - why did the little lady suddenly ask about Zhu Langjun?" ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "Xiaochan, don't you know, at the beginning of May, I wish to join the army and return to Jiankang, it is because Wei Rui will not enter the palace to make an idea, I wish to join the army and also visited King Langya and Xi Shilang, asking them to come forward to stop this matter, today Li Niangzi and Mrs. Xi can come here, also because of Zhu to join the army." ”

Xiaochan hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I know." ”

Lu Weirui hesitated for a while, and finally opened her mouth to tell Zhang Tongyun and Xiaochan what Sima Daofu said just now, Zhang Tongyun was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and Xiaochan had a sense of sudden realization, Xiaochan always felt that Zhu Langjun was a little strange, and now when she heard Lu Weirui say this, she understood, and she also fully believed that Zhu Yingtai was Xie Daoyun, but-

Xiaochan hurriedly said: "Wei Rui little lady, you must not be provoked by the Xin'an county lord, my little Langjun only likes the little lady alone, he has been working hard to marry the little lady, these are all known to the little lady." ”

Lu Weirui smiled and said: "I'm not angry, Ah Tong, Sister Xiaochan, last year I and Chen Langjun went from Dong'an Temple to see Huashan to see the jewel magnolia, those jewel magnolia plants are really beautiful, at that time Xiao Sheng said that he wanted to buy these treasure bead magnolia to transplant, what did Chen Langjun say, Chen Langjun said, there are all the good things in the world, you can't just want to take it for yourself as soon as you see it, I only pick the most beloved, I have to fight for it——"

Xiaochan is not a stupid person, she immediately understood Lu Weirui's thoughts, and shouted: "Little lady! Pulling up Lu Weirui's hand, Lu Weirui's palm was upward, the palm print was so beautiful, Xiaochan said: "The little lady is my little lady's most beloved, and she must be married." ”

Zhang Tongyun had not yet recovered from the shock of Zhu Yingtai's transformation into Xie Daoyun, and muttered: "Zhu joins the army and is actually a Xie girl, she is a man in disguise, there is such a strange thing in the world!" Wait, Xie Daoyun also likes Chen Caozhi? ”

Lu Weirui said: "It's not unusual for the lady of the Xie family to like Chen Langjun, although I feel a little uncomfortable, but the lady of the Xie family is indeed a very good person, otherwise she will not give me advice!" Thinking that at the beginning of the year, when she entered Beijing with Chen Caozhi, Gu Kaizhi, Zhang Tongyun, and Xie's sisters, under the old plum tree behind the Jizi Temple in Wulong Mountain, Jinling, she had a private meeting with Chen Caozhi. Calmly retreated, but now that I think about it, this Xie Daoyun is pretending to be a man's voice in front of people, and talking to Chen Langjun in private is the original female voice-

Thinking about it like this, Lu Weirui felt quite uncomfortable in her heart, although she trusted Chen Caozhi, but-

Well, no matter how noble and innocent a woman is, she can't completely let go of such a thing.
