Chapter 365: Rainy Day
On the street, after buying something. Lu Heng rode a horse, put the size package on the horse's back, and in the cyan twilight, ticked towards his new home.
The twilight is green, and lanterns are also hung on both sides of the bluestone paved streets, and the streets of Luoyang are dimly lit.
The wind rose, and outside the wine shop and teahouse, the flag hanging gently swayed with the wind.
At this time, there are a lot fewer pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, urchins frolicked in the streets, but they were also dragged back to their homes by the coarse linen women.
On the horizon, the sun sets. There was only a faint red, inlaid on the top of the Baiyun Mountain in the distance.
In the blue night sky, a few rising stars twinkled quietly.
In the twilight, the stone road leading to the home, under the dim lights on both sides, is warm and quiet.
After walking for a while, I turned the street and walked into the alley where my house was.
In the twilight, at the vermilion gate in front of it, an old lantern moved with the wind. The dim light flickered on and off, but it never went out.
On the front steps of the door, a big man, standing there, with his hands behind his back, walked back and forth, stopping from time to time to glance at the place. Seeing that there was no one, he shook his head and sighed, and continued to pace with his head down.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded at the mouth of the alley.
Treading on the bluestone slab, Dada, crisp and bright.
The big man at the door, hearing the sound, suddenly tensed up. Turning his head, he looked at the scholar who was slowly walking with a horse in the twilight.
Dahan's eyes were full of joy, and he wiped his hands on his clothes excitedly and strode over.
He took the reins of the horse in the scholar's hand, his eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at the scholar and said, "Childe, you're back!" ”
Agui, who hasn't seen him for a long time, is much calmer.
Thinking of the calf-like Agui he met in Luzhou, and then looking at the swordsman who is now famous in Kyoto, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, quite like a world away.
"Heh, I'm back!" Lu Heng nodded, patted Agui's shoulder and said. Raising his head, he looked at the golden plaque on the door, and the two powerful characters of Lu Fu were shining in the dim light.
"Good word!" Lu Heng groped his chin and praised.
Beside him, Ah Gui nodded in agreement, and then whispered to Lu Heng: "Listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is written by His Majesty!" ”
When Lu Heng heard this, he was not too surprised.
After all, in the lower right corner of the plaque, Mr. Jiuwu's four small characters are very clear.
Mr. Ninety-Five, the Honor of Ninety-Five. The name of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, except for the emperor, who dares to use it.
Pushing open the door, the two of them entered the house while talking.
The mansion is large and built in style. Different from the regular gardens in the north, Lu Heng's mansion, as soon as you enter the door, you can feel the atmosphere of the heavy Jiangnan water town.
When I entered the gate, I was greeted by a large rain flower stone, on which a line of poems was written.
The general meaning of the poem is that Mr. Jiuwu occasionally visited here and saw that the forest and bamboo here were lush and picturesque. sighed, and wrote down his admiration for this garden and the mood floating in his heart.
The whole poem adopts the calligraphy of Chu Ci. What is in it, what is it, Lu Heng looked at it for a while.
At the check-in office, it is still Mr. Ninety-Five.
The book says: Mr. Ninety-Five came here for a visit.
This was the second time in a minute that Lu Heng saw Mr. Jiuwu's withdrawal. Especially when he saw the inscription of Mr. Ninety-Five's visit here, Lu Heng couldn't help crying and laughing for a while.
It turns out that the original of this sentence turned out to be the Emperor of the Great Zhou!
Your Majesty, this avid lover of calligraphy, is it possible that he will turn my home into a place for him to practice his brushwork?
After passing this large pair of rain flower stones, what comes into view is a vigorous forest of bamboo, between the woods, the pebble paved path, twists and turns, all the way to the secluded place.
In the forest, there are small pavilions, flowing water, and streams gurgling, like a woman's whisper.
On both sides of the forest path, dozens of meters away, there are star-lit lanterns.
These countless lanterns stretched from behind the rain flower stone to the bottom of the main chamber at the top of the trail in front of them.
And at the end of the bamboo forest, two graceful women, one green and one red, were busy hanging lanterns on the bamboo.
Two women, laughing with unconcealable excitement and excitement, were talking while hanging lanterns.
"Father said that Lu Heng will be back tonight! But what time is it, why haven't you seen his shadow yet! ”
"Xianggong must have something to do, so it's delayed!"
"Sister, you will protect him! It's boring! ”
Princess Ankang pursed her lips and said sourly. Her eyes rolled, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she snickered and said, "Or, tonight, sister, close the door, don't let her enter the house, freeze him all night, okay?" ”
Liu Qingqing turned his head and looked at Princess Ankang with an enlightened face. In the dim light, the woman's beautiful cheeks were like fairies.
"Sister, you, what are you looking at!" Princess Ankang felt a little weak in her heart, dodged her gaze, and asked Liu Qingqing in a hesitant manner.
Liu Qingqing looked at her with a smile in her beautiful eyes for a while, smiled slightly, turned her head, and continued to hang the lantern.
"Last night, I heard my sister talking in your sleep!"
The movements in Liu Qingqing's hand stopped slightly, turned his head, and with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, he joked with Princess Ankang.
"I, what did I say?"
Princess Ankang asked in a low voice.
Liu Qingqing's pretty face was flushed, hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but smile, looked at the princess with a suspicious face, and then deliberately studied Princess Ankang's tone and said: "What do you see, it's not people's fault that the big breasts are big, and then look at digging out your eyeballs!" ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Qingqing glanced at Princess Ankang, and muttered in a low voice: "This is familiar to you!" I think I've heard it somewhere! ”
When Princess Ankang heard this, her pretty face turned red like fire in an instant, and she bowed her head and stammered: "No, no, no ......"
In a panic, Princess Ankang began to look around.
Suddenly, the forest was ahead. In the dim light, a figure stood there fixedly, looking at this place.
A bamboo forest with swaying bamboo leaves. The lanterns hanging from the branches were also fluttering in the wind. The dim lights flickered, like a sea of stars rising and falling slightly in the night.
Under the light, the scholar's smile is still as warm as ever.
"He, he, he ......" Princess Ankang was both surprised and flustered in her heart.
For a while, he stammered, and he couldn't say a whole sentence.
Reaching out and grabbing Liu Qingqing's long skirt beside him, he thought it was a reminder. However, when he turned his head, he found that Liu Qingqing beside him was already in tears for some time.
The woman's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth. Looking ahead, the scholar under the lamplight snorted.
"Xianggong!"
The woman stood there fixedly, looking at the man with tears in her beautiful eyes, the corners of her mouth pursed, and she smiled sweetly.
…… In the room, the lights were bright.
The table was already full of delicacies, but the two women were still busy.
"Alright, alright, so much, enough to eat!" As soon as Lu Heng entered the door, he was pressed on a chair by two women, and fiercely asked him not to move.
Now, I watched the two women enter and leave the kitchen like butterflies in flowers.
Lu Heng was moved in his heart, and said with a smile.
"Wait, there's still a plate of braised fish!"
At the door, Liu Qingqing poked out her palm-sized little face and said with a grin.
After that, before Lu Heng could speak, the woman disappeared.
After a while, a fragrant smell of braised fish wafted into the room. Just smelling this smell made Lu Heng's index finger move and salivate.
The door creaked open, and two women walked in with plates and grinning.
At a glance, the plate in Princess Ankang's hand contained a braised fish with full color and flavor.
And Liu Qingqing was holding a bowl of lotus seed porridge, looking at Princess Ankang beside her with a smile on her face, her face was flushed, and then she turned her head and looked at Lu Heng, who was a little surprised.
"Incense, huh?"
Liu Qingqing put down the lotus seed porridge and asked with a smile.
"Well, well, Your Highness has good craftsmanship!" Lu Heng nodded hurriedly and praised him.
With a sentence from His Royal Highness, Princess Ankang's face quietly darkened a lot. After lowering his head, he put down the plate of braised fish, wiped his little hand on his apron, bit his lip, turned his head, and glanced at the sky outside.
"It's not too early, I should go back too!"
Princess Ankang said in a quiet tone, and after glancing at Liu Qingqing, she took off her apron and was about to turn around and leave.
Liu Qingqing saw Princess Ankang's expression like this, and she snickered in her heart.
Turning his head, he saw his uncle holding chopsticks, ready to eat fish. I was immediately angry with him and insensitive.
Under the table, he stretched out his little foot and kicked him.
It wasn't until this that Lu Heng stopped the guy in his hand, put down the chopsticks, raised his head, and looked at An Kang with a gloomy face with a smile. He smiled, stood up, and walked over to Princess Ankang.
"What are you doing ......?" Princess Ankang forced her composure, raised her head, and looked at Lu Heng fiercely.
At this time, Princess Ankang could clearly feel the scholar's breathing, and for a while, the two were so close that Princess Ankang was both panicked and deeply expectant.
I was very anxious in my heart, but my hand was warm. Lowering her head and taking a look, Princess Ankang suddenly blushed.
Lu Heng took her hand and pulled her to the chair all the way. Then, he moved the chair himself, pressed her shoulders with both hands, and pressed her to the chair.
Didn't say a word, just a faint smile.
The scene that haunted the dream was now in front of her, and Princess Ankang's heart was joyful and excited, mixed together. Unconsciously, he bowed his head and left tears.
"Eat, eat!"
Princess Ankang lowered her head and wiped her tears, and beside her, Liu Qingqing looked at herself with a smile in her eyes.
Lu Heng coughed, pretending not to know anything. Then he stretched out his chopsticks, directly picked up the fish head, and greeted with a big grin: "Eat, eat!" ”
