"Yuan Ding, do you really want to leave Luoyang early?" Qin Qiong asked in surprise.

Although the Heroes Club is over, there is no news from the Ministry of War, there is news that the Ministry of War is considering appointing warriors who have performed well in the Heroes Club, which makes most of the warriors not leave Luoyang, and wait patiently for the plan of the Ministry of War, Qin Qiong is no exception, although he is already a heroic general, it is unlikely that he will climb up again, but he hopes that Qin Yong will enter the official career from this.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "Anyway, I don't expect the military department to give me any other official position, there is no point in staying any longer, and I have been away from Beihai County for too long, and I miss it a little, don't you want to go back together?" ”

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly, "Of course I want to go back, go back to see my family, I just want to get an official position for Qiaolang so I have to stay, okay, Yuan Ding will help me send a letter home by the way." ”

"No problem, in addition, I will leave a letter to the marshal, please ask Shubao to transfer it for me."

Zhang Xutuo was not in Luoyang in the past two days, and he would not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow, Zhang Xuan couldn't wait for him, so he could only leave him a letter.

Qin Qiong nodded, and asked again, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"Tomorrow! We'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Will Shixin also come with you?"

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment and nodded, "I asked him to go with Shubao, but he didn't want to, or Shubao would tell him again." ”

Qin Qiong knows Luo Shixin very well, don't look at his usual giggling, he has never been passing by, but once he decides, the nine cows can't pull it back, which makes Qin Qiong a little disappointed in his heart, Luo Shixin refuses to stay and follow him, which shows that in his heart, Zhang Xuan is more important than himself.

Qin Qiong was helpless, so she had to smile reluctantly. "Then I'll wish you all a smooth journey!"

"Uncle Bao also take care of himself!"

Zhang Xuan patted Qin Qiong's arm, got up and said goodbye, Qin Qiong looked at Zhang Xuan walking away, and suddenly felt an indescribable loss in her heart

Early the next morning, several gorgeous carriages appeared in front of the gate of the Lu Mansion, and dozens of guards were closely guarded. This is Princess Guangling's car arrived, and it immediately alarmed the Lu Mansion, and someone had already rushed to report to Mrs. Lu.

At this time, Mrs. Lu is planning the details of her daughter's marriage in the inner hall, yesterday the matchmaker came to the door to propose, of course she agreed to propose marriage, tomorrow the Cui family will officially come to the door to propose, and send the wild goose as a gift, this is Nacai, once the Lu family accepts the wild goose gift. It means that the name of this marriage has been decided.

The next step is to start the formal process, until the end of the marriage at the man's house, even if the daughter is married, Mrs. Lu will have a big heart.

Although her husband is not in the house, but her husband has agreed to this marriage, then she can finish the first few ceremonies, and wait for her husband to come back and get married.

Mrs. Lu was a little anxious in her heart, there were too many things for her to do. And she didn't have a helper, which made it a bit difficult for her to cope. Although she has a capable housekeeper Ma Youma, but Ma Youpo is a subordinate after all, there are some things she can't do, otherwise she will be laughed at, it is best to have an uncle and concubine to help her, at this time. Mrs. Lu suddenly thought of Lu Chu's wife, she had come to her place as a guest two days ago, wouldn't it be right for her to help.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly wanted to write a letter, and at this moment, the housekeeper Ma Youpo ran in. Frightened, he said, "Madam, Her Royal Highness the princess has come down." ”

Mrs. Lu was stunned, "What princess?" ”

"Princess Guangling is here, she wants to see Madame."

Mrs. Lu was suddenly taken aback, she also knew that Princess Guangling was the youngest daughter of the current saint and had a high status, how could she come to the Lu Mansion?

Mrs. Lu didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly shouted to Mrs. Ma: "Hurry up and get me the formal clothes!" ”

Lu Zhuo was named from the third grade of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, Mrs. Lu also got the fourth grade of the order, Her Royal Highness the princess arrived, she must greet with a formal courtesy, a moment, she put on the court clothes, wore a green crown, and took a large group of maids and women to welcome out.

In front of the main hall, the housekeeper had already rolled out the red carpet and set up the incense case, and the old eunuch Zhu Cheng smiled: "There is no need to be so grand, this is not an official visit, just a little private matter, just feel free." ”

Having said that, the butler drove all the subordinates away and forbade them to show their faces, and at this moment, there was a sound of ringing, and Mrs. Lu hurriedly walked out of the inner house.

Yang Ji'er walked into the mansion accompanied by several palace maids, and Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "The courtier's wife Lu sees the princess, I don't know that Her Royal Highness the princess is coming, and the greeting is not thoughtful, please forgive the princess!" ”

Yang Ji'er waved her hand impatiently, "I just came to visit Sister Lu Qing, why would Madame be so gifted?" ”

Mrs. Lu was shocked, Her Royal Highness the princess came to visit her daughter, why is this?

Yang Ji'er smiled again and asked, "Where is Sister Lu Qing?" ”

Mrs. Lu hesitated, she didn't dare to say that her daughter was not there, and hurriedly said: "She is here, Her Royal Highness the princess, please go to the inner courtyard to sit for a while, I will send someone to find her." ”

"No need, I'll wait for her here, madam, hurry up! I'm in a hurry. ”

Mrs. Lu was puzzled, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Ma to find her daughter, and after a while, Lu Qing took Ah Yuan to the front hall quickly, she received Zhang Xuan's letter yesterday, and she was ready.

Lu Qing stepped forward and saluted Yang Ji'er, "Lu Qing sees Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Yang Ji'er stepped forward and grabbed her and smiled: "Sister Lu, what are you doing with so many courtesies?" Didn't we say we would go on a trip together? Let's be free today! ”

Lu Qing nodded lightly, "I'm free today." ”

Mrs. Lu and the maids next to them looked at each other, they were a little stunned, when did Lu Qing make an appointment with the princess to go outing, why didn't they know anything?

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Qing'er, what's going on?" ”

Lu Qing saluted his mother, "Mother, my daughter met Her Royal Highness the Princess in Wei Mansion last October, and had a very happy conversation with her, and made an appointment to go on a trip together this spring, but my daughter didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to come today." ”

Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded when she heard this, she secretly regretted in her heart, she knew that the princess was going to invite her daughter to go on a trip, so she refused on the pretext that her daughter was sick, but what now?

"Mother, daughter accompanies Her Royal Highness the princess to go out for a walk and will be back soon."

"This" Mrs. Lu looked embarrassed, but she didn't know what to say?

Yang Ji'er smiled: "Madame, don't worry! My queen mother only allowed me to go out for half a day, we just went out for a walk, looked at the scenery, and came back before noon. ”

Mrs. Lu wanted to say that her daughter was about to get married, and it was inconvenient to go out, but this matter must not be known to her daughter, and she really couldn't make up her mind. ”

A sentence reminded Mrs. Lu that she could send a few generals to follow them from afar, so that she was not afraid of anything happening, Mrs. Lu finally nodded, "Okay! Go early and come back early. ”

Lu Qing saluted his mother, "My daughter went first and will be back soon." ”

Yang Ji'er took Lu Qing's hand out of the mansion and got into her carriage, Mrs. Lu hurriedly chased out, looking at the guards guarding a few carriages away, she suddenly said urgently: "Go and find a family to follow them!" ”

More than a dozen generals of the Lu family chased all the way, and finally caught up with the princess's car outside the southern city, they didn't dare to step forward, but followed from a distance, and the carriage of Her Royal Highness the princess drove south, and dozens of soldiers joined the escort queue.

The carriage went more than ten miles south, and stopped at a beautiful place, only to see the princess get out of the carriage and admire the flowers in front of a few peach trees by the river.

The general of the Lu family felt that something was not right, why did he not see the Qing girl, and the first general hurriedly stepped forward and asked the eunuch: "Excuse me, is my Lu girl here?" ”

The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, "What are you talking about?" What Miss Lu? This is the car of Her Royal Highness Princess Guangling, you better stay away! ”

Several guards rushed up viciously and drove the leader of the family away, and the generals suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly together: "Miss Qing! Qing girl! ”

No one answered, and at this time, the princess got into the carriage again, and everyone could see clearly in the distance, there were only the princess and the two palace maids in the carriage, how could there be a young lady in their family?

The generals looked at each other, and one of them said: "Something is wrong, let's go back and report to Mrs. first!" ”

The generals turned their horses' heads and ran back to Luoyang City, Yang Ji'er looked at the generals from the back window and walked away, and said with a smile: "The task has been completed, let's go back to the palace too!" ”

When Mrs. Lu heard that her daughter was missing, and Her Royal Highness the princess did not admit that she had seen her daughter, she was suddenly stunned, and after a while, she suddenly understood something, and hurriedly ran to her daughter's embroidery room, she rushed into her daughter's room, and saw a letter at the head of her daughter's bed.

Mrs. Lu trembled and picked up the letter, and read it hurriedly, only to feel that the sky was dim, and she fainted all of a sudden, so frightened that the maids and women shouted: "Madam! Madam! ”

"I've got a bad thing!" Mrs. Lu woke up slowly, thinking that she couldn't explain to the Cui family, and thinking that her hard work had been in vain, she was so anxious and regretful that she completely forgot her identity, and actually cried loudly.

The young lady next to her was stunned, she had never seen Mrs. lose her temper like this, she cautiously reminded: "Mrs. should tell the master!" ”

One sentence immediately reminded Mrs. Lu, and she immediately stopped crying, right! She was going to write a letter to her husband, and she would do it right away

Zhang Xuan took Yu Chigong, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan to escort a carriage out of the Upper East Gate, and galloped east along the official road, in the carriage, Lu Qing quietly pulled the curtain, looked at the blue sky, looked at the bird flying freely in the sky, she was extremely happy in her heart, she felt like a bird that broke out of the cage, flying freely to the other side of happiness.

"Childe, when will we get to Beihai?" Next to her, Ah Yuan asked her own voice.

Zhang Xuan smiled: "Five days at most!" I'm sure we'll have a smooth ride. ”

The crowd quickened up, and gradually, they became farther and farther away from Luoyang City, and finally disappeared into the distance of the official road. (To be continued......)
