In a snack shop selling ice drinks in Chongye Fang, several customers are drinking iced sour plum soup freshly taken out of the ice cellar, eating sticky lotus seed and lotus root flour slurry, and spitting about the major events in the imperial court.

At this time, a sweet-looking round-faced girl ran to the front of the snack shop, took out a handful of money, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile: "Uncle, bring me a pot of iced sour plum soup and put more ice!" ”

The smiling and kind shopkeeper was obviously very familiar with her, and asked with a smile: "Ah Yuan, don't you have an ice cellar in Lufu?" ”

"There is an ice cellar in Lufu, but it is not as delicious as the sour plum soup you make here, and it can't make that taste."

"That's right, Xiao's sour plum soup was handed down by my grandfather, not my boasting, there are few in Luoyang that can compare with me."

The shopkeeper was very interested, and said with a smile: "You wait, a bucket in my house should be ready, I'll go get fresh ones for you." ”

"Hmmm! I'll wait a minute. ”

The shopkeeper went into the back room, the sun was scorching outside the store, Ah Yuan hid in the hall, sat on a small stool, and listened to the bragging and chatting of several neighbors in the lobby.

"Isn't this Jang Hyun you are talking about one of the top three in the Heroes Club? Second only to Li Xuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, I still remember that he is excellent in martial arts, even Li Xuanba suffered his loss, he was actually named a general, it's not easy! ”

Ah Yuan's heart skipped a beat, they were actually talking about Childe, she quickly pricked up her ears and listened to them word for word.

A person next to him pouted and said: "What's all the fuss about a general, and it's not a general, when Yuwen Chengdu was named a general, I don't think it's so ostentatious, there are dozens of generals in Dasui!" He's just one of them. ”

"You know a!"

The first person to speak raised his tune, "Am I talking about the general?" I'm talking about the six counties of Jianghuai recruiting envoys, this is a feudal official, do you know what a feudal official is? ”

Then. The shopkeeper came out of the back room and handed a gourd to Ah Yuan, "Okay, hurry up and take it back!" The ice inside is melting. ”

Ah Yuan jumped up and ran towards Lu Mansion, she wanted to tell Miss Qing that Gongzi was in the capital. also promoted to a senior official!

．．．．．．．．

After returning from Beihai County, Lu Qing and his mother were in a state of cold war, neither mother nor daughter ever said a word, and even rarely ate together, Mrs. Lu hated her daughter for following Zhang Xuan to Beihai, destroying the marriage tradition between Lu Cui, and Lu Qing resented her mother for ignoring her feelings and forcibly letting her marry someone she hated.

Lu Qing was sitting in the embroidery room at this time, delicately embroidering a picture of the first release of peonies, and she was so engrossed. So much so that the housekeeper's wife appeared at the door of the inner room, and she didn't notice it.

Ma Youpo coughed lightly, and as soon as Lu Qing raised his head, his pretty face immediately sank, "What are you doing here?" Lu Qing got up and scolded angrily: "Let me out!" ”

Mrs. Ma said with a gloomy face: "I am on the orders of Madame-"

"Get out!"

Lu Qing was so angry that she dared to trespass into her inner room without permission, she stepped forward and pushed Ma Youpo out, slamming the door shut.

Ma Youpo was shy and anxious outside the door, and shouted loudly: "Cui Gongzi is here." Madame let you pass, my word has arrived. If the girl refuses to go, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Ma Youpo turned around and rushed downstairs angrily, she scolded a few maids as she walked again, and vented all her anger on the other maids.

Lu Qing was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and his good mood was ruined by Ma Youpo's words, needless to say, his mother still didn't give up. still wants to marry the Cui family, so many things have happened, she hasn't woken up at all, she knew this, why did she want to come back?

Then. There was another sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, and Lu Qing thought that Ma Youpo was running again, and said angrily: "What are you still doing?" ”

"Girl, it's me!" Outside the door, it was Ah Yuan's voice.

Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly opened the door, and complained to her in a low voice: "Dead girl, what are you doing running out, that horse witch just broke into the inner room!" ”

Yuan was taken aback, "What is she here for?" ”

"Of course she came to spread the word to her mother, but I kicked her out."

"No wonder I see her swearing with anger on her face, girl, good news!"

Ah Yuan impatiently told Lu Qing what she had heard, and finally she was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that Gongzi has been in Luoyang these days, and he has been promoted, and the whole capital is talking about him." ”

Lu Qing couldn't be happy, why didn't Zhang Xuan come to him in the capital, and his father didn't tell him, could it be that something had happened?

Lu Qing sat back in his seat depressedly, Ah Yuan saw that Lu Qing was unhappy, and hurriedly comforted her: "I think there must be a special situation when the son comes back at this time, so he doesn't have time to visit the girl, and the master must also know that he is in the capital, maybe they have already been in contact." ”

Lu Qing pondered for a moment and whispered, "Ah Yuan, can you do me a favor?" ”

"What does the girl want me to do?"

Lu Qing bit his lip lightly and said, "I want you to send a letter for me." ”

Mrs. Lu was originally just angry with her daughter, resenting her for eloping with Zhang Xuan and ruining Lu Cui's marriage, so she has been angry and ignores her daughter, but if she still wants to marry the Cui family, it is indeed a bit wronged her.

She knew very well in her heart that since her daughter followed Zhang Xuan to Beihai, the Cui family would not accept her as a daughter-in-law anyway, and this marriage would never be realized again.

Of course, she didn't want to marry her daughter to Zhang Xuan, not to mention that Zhang Xuan had no background and no background, just kidnapping her daughter was enough to make her resentful of Zhang Xuan.

However, what makes Mrs. Lu strange is that how could the Cui family try their best to prevent their daughter from marrying Zhang Xuan? Even his brother Cui Zhao personally wrote a letter to himself, what does this matter have to do with the Cui family?

Of course, Mrs. Lu also knew that Zhang Xuan had indeed angered the Cui family by taking away her daughter, but it would not be to the point of blatantly interfering with the Lu family's marriage daughter, and they could retaliate in other ways.

What did a woman's unique intuition make Mrs. Lu perceive as well?

"Wenxiang, tell me the truth, what's going on? Why did your father write this letter to me? Mrs. Lu raised the letter in her hand and looked at her nephew Cui Wenxiang with a serious gaze.

Cui Wenxiang naturally sent a letter to his aunt on the order of his father, in fact, he knew very well why his father would increase his opposition to this marriage was because of the pressure and temptation of the Pei family, Cui Wenxiang did not remind his father of the consequences of doing so, on the contrary, he longed to destroy this marriage in his heart.

The power shown by Jang Hyun helping Lee Qingming and Choi Wonhan deeply stimulated Choi Wenxiang, and he wished that Jang Hyun would be discredited overnight, but this seemed to be impossible, so letting Jang Hyun not get the person he loved also made Choi Wenxiang deeply satisfied and stimulated.

"Auntie still doesn't understand?"

Cui Wenxiang said with a dark smile: "Zhang Xuan's existence has threatened the interests of our Cui family, maybe the Cui family will stand on the opposite side of Zhang Xuan, my father doesn't want Lu Jiang and Zhang Xuan to get too close." ”

"!"

A stern voice suddenly came from behind, Mrs. Lu turned around, only to see that the second son Lu Qingyuan didn't know when she appeared under the lobby, she asked in surprise: "Qingyuan, how are you?"

"The child gives his mother a gift!"

Lu Qingyuan saluted his mother, and looked at Cui Wenxiang coldly, "I don't understand what interests Zhang Xuan and the Cui family have entanglements, Zhang Xuan was a general in Qingzhou before, and now he is named Jianghuai's envoy, does Jianghuai have anything to do with Boling County?" Take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhang Xuan provoked the Cui family somewhere, why did he pull the Lu family to back up? What obligation does the Lu family have to be hostile to the important ministers of the court with the Cui family? ”

The high-ranking officials of the court mentioned by Lu Qingyuan are not actually referring to Zhang Xuan, but to Su Wei of Xiangguo, even Su Wei wants to be a matchmaker for Zhang Xuan, but the Cui family wants to intervene and oppose it, so that the Lu family can offend Xiangguo, how can Lu Qingyuan not be deeply disgusted.

Cui Wenxiang didn't expect Lu Qingyuan to appear at this time, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he couldn't find a suitable explanation for a while, and laughed dryly, "Auntie, my nephew doesn't mean this?" ”

The son's rudeness made Mrs. Lu's face sink, and she scolded angrily: "Qingyuan, Hugh has to be rude to my brother!" ”

Now that Lu Qingyuan appeared, Cui Wenxiang couldn't say any more, anyway, his father's letter had been delivered, and there was no point in going on, so he got up and said goodbye: "Nephew don't bother my aunt, farewell!" ”

Mrs. Lu nodded, "Say hello to your parents on my behalf!" ”

"Nephew must bring it."

Cui Wenxiang arched his hand to Lu Qingyuan again and left quickly, but Lu Qingyuan didn't send him away, and looked at his back coldly.

"Qingyuan, why are you so rude to your cousin?" Mrs. Lu rebuked her son with great dissatisfaction.

"I don't know what kind of letter my uncle wrote to my mother, but Wen Xiang said that Zhang Xuan's threat to the interests of the Cui family is completely nonsense, one is from the Hebei family, and the other is a general who leads the army in Qingzhou, what kind of conflict of interest will there be?

And my mother may not know that this morning the Son of Heaven issued an order to seal Zhang Xuan as the envoy of the six counties of Jianghuai, he is already a general, and he has caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, this is the youngest general since the Great Cause, and he is still the feudal official who controls Jianghuai, such a son-in-law Lu family does not want it, he will be laughed at by others, mother! ”

The more Lu Qingyuan spoke, the more excited he became, he got the news that Li Qingming and Cui Yuanhan were pulled over by Zhang Xuan today, and he also got the news that Zhang Xuan was appointed as the envoy of the six counties of Jianghuai, which really shocked him.

Only then did he understand why Su Wei came to visit and woo the Lu family last night, it was entirely because of Zhang Xuan, and Su Wei wanted to win over Zhang Xuan.

Lu Qingyuan wanted Zhang Xuan to marry his sister immediately, he rushed to tell his mother about it, but unexpectedly encountered a scene of Cui Wenxiang slandering his mother, which really made him very angry.

After Lu Qingyuan finished speaking, his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, but he also realized that his tone was very rude to his mother, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The child is just explaining the facts, not rude to the mother, please forgive the child for her gaffe!"
