Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Old Man Is Gone
"In other words, in ten or so days, we have to go to the capital?"
Hongshang looked at Ye Heng and asked, but her words gave others a reminder.
Su Qing'er followed and asked, "When Gongzi enters Beijing, who do you plan to take with you?" ”
"I went to Beijing to catch the exam, how could I drag my family with me?"
Ye Heng smiled, and then said, "You'd better wait in Lin'an!" ”
"No way!"
Hongshang objected: "Young master, you go to the capital, how can you do it when you are so far away and there is no one around to take care of you?" ”
"Makes sense!"
Ye Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Then you will go with me!" ”
After that, Ye Heng touched the forehead of the red dress, and then walked away.
That night, after dinner, Lu Gongbi still took Ye Heng out to play, and it was snowing heavily, so Ye Heng and Lu Gongbi put on a plush cloak.
After Ye Heng and Lu Gongbi left, several women complained at home.
It's not because Ye Heng went to the Qinglou, but about going to Beijing.
Lu Hongsleeve said unhappily: "Hmph, I heard that he plans to go to Beijing with the people of the Lu family, although it will be much safer to travel this way, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have other thoughts in his heart!" ”
"Lu family, ......"
Su Qing'er frowned, then she looked at Pu Jiajing, who didn't say anything, and asked her, "Second Miss, what don't you want to say?" ”
"Me?"
Pu Jiajing pointed at herself, looking a little surprised, and then she shook her head and smiled: "I don't care, anyway, he can arrange it." I have no objection if he wants to take me, and if he doesn't want to take me, I'll be at home. Praying for him every day is ......"
"Sister, your heart is rare!"
Su Qing'er said noncommittally, in fact, in her opinion, Pu Jiajing's character was a little too weak. It's funny to say, Su Qing'er and Lu Hongsleeve united Hongshang and Pu Jiajing, and on the surface, they said that they were helping Pu Jiajing to fight against the Lu family's people. In fact, these are their own careful thoughts, but Pu Jiajing has no problem at all in this regard.
Lu Hongsleeve asked Pu Jiajing: "Aren't you afraid that after Ye Heng arrives in the capital, he will forget his old love when he has a new love?" ”
Obviously, Pu Jiajing would not have such worries at all, she pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and replied: "I believe him, it won't be like this!" ”
"Ye Heng won't be like this, so what if the Lu family persecutes?"
Su Qing'er helped Lu Hongsleeve and asked, "Not everyone is so kind to your sister, in case the young lady of the Lu family is a rude person." What to do then? ”
Or did Su Qing'er ask the main point, Lu Hongsleeve and Hongshang were a little worried by this sentence, and they thought: This time, Second Miss, you should always be worried, right?
How do you know that Pu Jiajing still smiled, still shook her head, and then she looked at Su Qing'er with a firm gaze and asked, "Do you think that if it is Ye Gongzi, who can force him?" Or rather. Don't you all believe Ye Gongzi? No matter what you think or say, in short, I believe Ye Gongzi. Since he promised not to fail me, he will definitely be able to do it! ”
Pu Jiajing went back to the room, leaving only a red dress sitting between Su Qing'er and Lu Hongsleeve, Lu Hongsleeve asked, "That'...... That's it? ”
Su Qing'er spread her hands and said helplessly: "What else?" Anyway, I'm out of line, Second Miss, her temperament. I don't like to fight at all, if I continue to talk about it, it is nothing more than the position of the eldest lady of the Ye family, do you think the second lady will care? ”
"It's also ......"
Lu Hongsleeve was also helpless, and then she pouted and said, "So to speak." If you want her to go and tell Ye Heng that there is no hope of taking us to Beijing together? ”
Su Qing'er looked at Lu Hongsleeve very seriously and said, "Sister Redsleeve, why don't you ...... Go and talk to him! ”
"Me?"
Lu Hongsleeve pointed to his face and asked, "Do you think I went and told him, and he would agree?" ”
"I guess so!"
Su Qing'er suddenly stood up with a smile, and said, "When my sister went to Suzhou with him some time ago, didn't they all live together?" Giggle......"
"Stinky girl!"
Lu Hongsleeve found out that he was being teased, so he grabbed Su Qing'er, but how smart is Su Qing'er? By the time she had said this, the man had already left the room.
didn't catch Su Qing'er, Lu Hongsleeve didn't mention how angry she was, as soon as she turned around, she saw that Hongshang was also smiling when she looked at this, and then Lu Nuxia finally couldn't get over her face, she stomped her feet and walked to the front yard, while shouting: "Uncle Hu, you come out for me to make it clear!" ”
Hongshang looked at Lu Hongsleeve's back, then covered her mouth and laughed.
The Qinglou painting boat is not only Bianliang and Qinhuai River, but also the Qinglou painting boat in Hangzhou is also a beautiful scenery that is connected.
Walking along the path by the West Lake, the snow on the path was swept clean, and a few young people in Tsing Yi who were working saw that there were guests coming, and they did not forget to pull business for themselves.
"Guest, but do you want to be happy? Come to our Flowing Sleeve Pavilion! ”
"Huh...... Two guest officers, the girl in our drunken building is the most beautiful ......"
"Go, go, what is the most beautiful girl in the drunken building? Where can we compare to our secluded boat? ”
A few small servants can also quarrel with the guests, but after hearing the name of the secluded boat, Ye Heng smiled, and then said to the little guy: "Where are you secluded boats?" Take us there! ”
"Okay!"
The little guy agreed, and happily led the way in front, while snorting coldly at the other guys, expressing his pride!
"Hold on, are there any acquaintances in this secluded boat?"
Following behind the little guy, Lu Gongbi suddenly said to Ye Heng: "There are many Qinglou painting boats here, but you just chose the secluded boat, don't you tell me that you chose it at random?" ”
Ye Heng shook his head and said, "It was only when I heard this name that I suddenly remembered, I knew a woman before, and she seemed to be the Oiran of Hangzhou, so I wanted to take you to see and see......"
"What the guest officer said was Li Xiangyun?"
The guy who led the way in front suddenly interjected and said, "It's a pity to talk about this Li Xiangyun......
Ye Heng asked, "What, isn't she in the Secluded Boat now?" ”
"It's still there, but since she came back from a trip to Jiangning, the situation has not been as good as before!"
The little girl shook her head and sighed and said, "Originally, Miss Xiangyun was the absolute signboard of our secluded house, but after she came back from Jiangning, she asked the owner to resign, and I don't know what the reason is. Later, I heard that after she left the secluded house, it was a quiet day for a while, but the good times didn't last long, she got acquainted with a big official, the two heard that they were in love, but then there was a change, the big official is a romantic lover, and he actually fell in love with another woman, and swept away the softness around the Xiangyun girl, alas! ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Ye Heng frowned, although his influence on this Li Xiangyun was not very good, it was not bad, when he was in Jiangning, he said it a little more heavily because he was angry. Li Xiangyun is a weak woman after all, so Ye Heng also feels a little guilty in his heart, and now hearing that she has suffered such a sad experience, his heart is even more uncomfortable.
Of course, Ye Heng was just sympathetic to her.
"Alas, the way of this world......"
The little guy shook his head and continued: "Later, there was no way, Miss Xiangyun could only come back to the secluded house to perform, but after this incident, those literati all snubbed her, so her current situation is quite miserable, plus her original tragic life experience......"
Ye Heng asked, "How tragic is her life experience?" ”
"Miss Xiangyun's ancestor is said to have been an official before, but he was killed in the war and then went to Jiangnan ......"
Hearing the little guy's explanation, Ye Heng sighed, and then said: "I didn't expect that it would only be a few months, but it was such a thing!" ”
"That's not right!"
Lu Gongbi suddenly looked at Ye Heng suspiciously and asked, "Hold on, you just said that you and this Xiangyun girl just knew each other?" ”
Ye Heng nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
Lu Gongbi said suspiciously, Ye Heng didn't explain, anyway, when he saw Li Xiangyun after he arrived at the secluded house, he didn't need to explain anything.
He and Li Xiangyun just knew each other, and when he sighed, he just sighed about what happened in life!
The Secluded Boat is a two-story painting boat docked by the West Lake, decorated with arabesques, and through the lights inside, you can see that the business is very good.
Not to mention the heavy snow, Ye Heng estimated that even if the ice blades fell from the sky at this time, they would not be able to stop those literati from coming to the Qinglou to drink flowers and wine and recite poems for fun.
The little maid sent them to the door of the painting boat and asked for some tips and left, and Ye Heng and Lu Gongbi were immediately welcomed in by several women.
"Yo, two guest officers, you're finally here!"
They are the first time to come, but the proprietress is a look of knowing them, in fact, every proprietress who comes to the Qinglou will always be so warmly entertained, so it is easier to make the guests' hearts feel cordial.
The proprietress is an old woman in her fifties, dressed in red and bright, so that people don't want to look at her more. However, the proprietress herself didn't think so, she leaned towards Lu Gongbi's side one by one, probably in her opinion, Lu Gongbi's age is older, and it is estimated that he is the main master! So she asked Lu Gongbi enthusiastically: "This son, do you have a familiar girl here?" ”
"Li Xiangyun!"
Lu Gongbi obviously didn't want to entangle with this old mother, so he immediately reported Li Xiangyun's name.
Originally, he came to the Qinglou to see the customs of the Qinglou in Hangzhou, but now he has a greater interest in the relationship between Li Xiangyun and Ye Heng! (To be continued......)
