When the weather arrives in August, it cools down. The early autumn wind, with a hint of coolness, sent away the scorching summer. The swaying willow branches bring the sweet taste of osmanthus.

Jiangning City is a beautiful place, typical of Jiangnan style. In the corners of Jiangning City, you can often see dense osmanthus trees. At this time, the golden wind is cool, and the osmanthus is fragrant. Walking down the street, as long as you close your eyes, you can feel the sweet fragrance.

Recently, there have been rumors in the streets and alleys about Miss Sufu's marriage. In this era of lack of entertainment, the marriage of a young lady from a large family can be regarded as a big event. Besides, this Miss Su is still married to the son of a big official in the capital.

As early as three days ago, the gate of the Su Mansion was decorated with lights, and the big happy words were posted on the Zhu Gate, which was a joyful atmosphere. The lanterns hanging high are also red. The breeze blows, and the lanterns move with the wind.

The people who came in and out of Su Mansion all had smug smiles on their faces. Walking down the street, I feel superior. After all, this successful marriage, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Guangyi has officially entered Tokyo. With the support of a high-powered person, Su Guangyi will surely soar soon.

On this day, by the Qinhuai River, Lu Heng's small courtyard also had two guests. It's not that they really came to ask for warmth, but Su Guangyi and Liu Fu with smug faces.

Today, the two of them are ostensibly here to deliver invitations, but looking at the smug faces of these two people, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are here to show off.

"Hehe, it's the time of my little sister's wedding, Lu Heng, you must appreciate it, don't worry, my father knows that Brother Lu, your family is not good, and the gift money will be free!" Su Guangyi stood at the door, shaking the folding fan, and said to Lu Heng with a smile.

Although the weather is slightly cool now, Su Guangyi is still a lupine scarf, and his demeanor has not diminished. Between the gestures, a high-spirited wind scratched the air, leaking out from the side.

Liu Fu laughed twice, nodded and said, "Exactly, exactly!" ”。

Originally, he wanted to echo a few words, but then, when he saw Liu Qingqing's pretty face as cold as frost, he laughed a little embarrassedly, and then stopped talking.

He came here today, and he still had the intention of persuading Liu Qingqing to marry Su Gongzi, but it seemed that the atmosphere was not right, so he had to put it down.

Lu Heng on the other side was still smiling politely, he looked at the red invitation card in Su Zhengwen's hand, nodded and smiled: "Hehe, if you have time, you must go over!" ”

Although both of them have their own thoughts in their hearts, they still have to maintain a good attitude on the surface. After all, the neighbors are watching from the side.

I inadvertently saw that in the crowd, there was a woman dressed in men's clothes, looking here with a calm face. Her gaze kept turning around Su Zhengwen and Lu Heng. Between the delicate eyebrows, there is no emotional fluctuation. Some are just faintly quiet.

After Su Zhengwen and Liu Fu left, the neighbors who watched the excitement also dispersed.

When the door was closed, Liu Qingqing beside him looked at Lu Heng with a calm face, and stopped talking. There was a little anger in her beautiful eyes, as if she was reluctantly suppressing something.

"What's wrong?" Lu Heng turned his head and said with a smile.

"They bully people!" Liu Qingqing raised her head and looked at Lu Heng, her little fists clenched tightly, and her pretty face was like a thousand years of frost.

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly. After closing the deadbolt, he turned around and walked home with a smile.

"Uncle!" Liu Qingqing stomped his feet, looking angry.

Lu Heng stopped, turned his head, and looked at Liu Qingqing, who was angry and aggrieved like a child who had been robbed of a toy. He smiled, then spread his hands and said, "I know! ”

"Then uncle, you still return!" Liu Qingqing wanted to say that you were still smirking at them. Don't you see your neighbors looking at you with contempt? "Then you're still smiling at them!" Liu Qingqing turned around and muttered in a low voice.

Lu Heng smiled, walked to the well, lifted his robe, and sat on the edge of the well without grace. Picked up the pu fan and fanned it twice.

Seeing Liu Qingqing turn around with his back, he ignored himself. Lu Heng shook his head with a wry smile, put down the pu fan, and asked with a smile: "Just because I smiled at them?" ”

Although Liu Qingqing still had her back to herself, Lu Heng also knew what she was thinking. At this time, I saw that the woman looked angry. Lu Heng stood up, walked to the woman's side, stretched out his hand and gently pulled the woman's sleeve.

"Don't touch me!" Liu Qingqing was angry and shook off Lu Heng's hand.

Lu Heng spread his hands helplessly, smiled, and then said lightly: "Heh, smiling at him is purely polite!" ”

Belch! Hearing this, Liu Qingqing secretly smiled in her heart, her uncle was really angry!

Secretly turned his head and glanced at Lu Heng. Seeing Lu Heng looking at the outside of the courtyard with a faint expression, the big tree with falling osmanthus flowers was in a daze. His eyes were as calm as water.

The autumn wind blew and brought up the long gown on his body. The placket moves with the wind.

After a while, Lu Heng retracted his gaze, and he looked at Liu Qingqing, who was secretly a large number of himself, with a smile on his face. Seeing that the woman was like a frightened rabbit, she quickly turned around and lowered her head.

Lu Heng was amused in his heart, but he didn't want to expose the other party's tricks. With a faint smile, he turned and walked towards the house.

It's not something you can take advantage of! Lu Heng, who turned around, thought of Su Zhengwen's insatiable eyes when he looked at Liu Qingqing just now, shook his head and smiled, and walked into the house with his feet raised.

During the meal, Liu Qingqing sat opposite with her head bowed, just eating quietly without saying a word. She occasionally looked at Lu Heng, who was also speechless. Then he lowered his head, but did not speak.

However, in the end, she still put down the dishes and chopsticks and said softly: "In the crowd today, there is a woman, did my uncle see it?" It was still in a calm tone, the same tone as when he said something funny in the peace talk.

"Well, I see!" Lu Heng paused, nodded, and then continued to eat rice grains.

"Does Uncle know who she is?" Liu Qingqing looked at Lu Heng with an indifferent look with a complicated look in his eyes, and asked softly.

Lu Heng nodded, smiled, and said vaguely, "Hmm." You can probably guess! ”

"Oh!" The woman let out a faint sigh, and when she saw Lu Heng's unimpressed look, she didn't say anything anymore.

The wind outside the window rustled the leaves, and the petals of the osmanthus tree outside the yard fell with the wind. Pieces of petals floated into the yard and scattered on the ground.

After the meal, Lu Heng still went to the palace as usual.

When he was on the road, he vaguely felt that someone was following him.

So, he walked through the streets and alleys. Entering a secluded place, he suddenly hid in the corner of a large gate.

After a while, I saw two women dressed as men appear at the mouth of the alley. The two walked into the alley and searched for a while, but they didn't find any trace of the scholar before, so they stayed where they were and whispered something.

"I saw it just now, why did it disappear all of a sudden!" The little maid dressed in a housekeeping costume reached out to touch the braid on her head in annoyance, but she seemed to suddenly remember that she was now a man, and she was wearing a green cloth hat on her head, so she hurriedly put down her hand and said in a rough voice: "It's really strange! ”

On the side, the woman who looked like a childe looked at the quiet alley, and after a while, she shook her head and sighed: "Maybe he doesn't want us to see it!" Thrush, let's go! ”

The little maid nodded, oh, and followed the woman to prepare to go out.

At this moment, the scholar who had been following him before suddenly walked out from the corner of a gate. "Yikes!" The little maid was startled by this guy who suddenly popped out. hurriedly stood sideways in front of the young lady, raised his eyebrows, pointed at Lu Heng and said, "You, you, you, who are you?" ”

After seeing this person's appearance clearly, the little maid suddenly felt like she was unburdened, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be you, our young lady has been looking for you for a long time......"

"Thrush! No nonsense! The woman who looked like a childe frowned slightly, and scolded the maid next to her in a low voice.

Then, she raised her head, and there was a little apology in her beautiful eyes. looked at the smiling scholar opposite, and then, the woman bowed slightly and said in a low voice: "Concubine, Su Qianqian!" ”

This was the first time he had seen his former fiancée. It's just that at this awkward time, it doesn't seem to have any superfluous words.

Lu Heng nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" ”

"Lu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi, will you arrive tomorrow, will you go to the house?" Su Qianqian bit her lip lightly, raised her head, and looked at Lu Hengdao with deep helplessness in her eyes.

Lu Heng scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that something is wrong, heh, in the next place, I have to congratulate Miss on her wedding here!" ”

"Is what Lu Gongzi said sincerely?" Su Qianqian raised her head and stared at Lu Heng bravely. Looking straight at him, he asked in a coquettish voice.

After Lu Heng heard this, he bowed his head and was silent.

Say it's sincere? I feel a little hypocritical in my heart. It's not true. There is indeed some entanglement in my heart.

I had never been in contact with this woman before, and today was the first time I had seen her. It is said that the feelings of both parties are sincere and reluctant to each other, which is naturally not true. But after all, the other party was his fiancée, and both parties silently followed this marriage contract for eighteen years. This silent and silent connection, once broken at this time, always feels that something is missing in my heart.

For a while, it was true or false. Lu Heng was a little confused.

After a long time, he raised his head, smiled helplessly, looked at Su Qianqian and said, "At this time, it is already a boat." Does it really matter if it's true or not? ”

Su Qianqian smiled miserably, her pretty face was full of gloom. She lowered her head, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Yes, the wood is already in the boat, and it is obviously superfluous to ask this again!" ”

The breeze was blowing, and on the bluestone pavement, the blades of grass were sticking to the ground, all of which were brushed by.

In the end, after the woman took a deep look at Lu Heng, in this faint autumn mood, she turned around and left with the maid.

Lu Heng, who stayed in place, watched the woman leave with a calm face, sighed slightly, and walked towards the side of the street.

One to the left, two to the right. It seems that there is no intersection again!

However, after the two of them left, two samurai dressed in short fights jumped out of the shade of the trees in the alley.

One of them looked at the empty alley, turned his head and said to the powerful man beside him: "Brother Zhan, that little lady seems to be interesting to Lu Gongzi!" ”

This person has a strange complexion, and his eyes move from time to time, and he knows at a glance that he is a clever person.

Zhan's guard thought about it carefully, and pretended to analyze: "Well, this is reasonable! Actually, he didn't see in his heart whether that woman was interested in Lu Heng or not.

"Then, didn't the prince say that he wanted us to help Lu Gongzi solve this matter?" After thinking about it, the guard frowned and said.

"If you have something to say, don't chirp silently!" Zhan Guard's heart couldn't think of an idea, so he was naturally a little annoyed.

The guard touched his two mustaches, his eyes rolled, as if he remembered some clever trick, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered in the ear of the guard, his expression was obscene, and it was creepy.

After listening to this guy's clever plan, the Zhan guard was obviously stunned, glanced at this guy with strange eyes, and finally stretched out his thumb with a solemn face and praised: "You kid, haha, what a trick!" ”

"Hehe, it's all taught well by Brother Zhan. Otherwise, brother, how could I have thought of such a yin, oh no, what a trick! Hey! The guard smiled and complimented the guard.

After the two looked at each other, they laughed in unison. Between the expressions, the smell of conspiracy was extremely strong.
