Searching for the Reunion (3)
Lu Jingxing walked through a beam of sunlight shining in the corridor, stood opposite Yan Linglast, opened his mouth first, and his cool tone was mixed with politeness: "Young Master Yan, did you rest well last night?" ”
"Good. Lord Lu, this is? I never thought that the lord of the Lu Mansion was not only good at music and rhythm, but also knew how to cook. Yan Linghan's faint gaze fell on the food box, with a look of admiration on his face.
Hearing this, Lu Jingxing also lowered his head and glanced at the food box, and then slightly hooked his lips: "Let Yan Gongzi smile." At the moment, I still have something to do, so I am out of company. In the afternoon, it's never too late for us to talk. ”
"It's okay, the Lord of the Lu Mansion is busy first." Yan Linglast seemed to understand something instantly, a smile flashed in his clear and translucent eyes, and he took the initiative to move to the edge of the corridor to make way for Lu Jingxing.
Yan Ling Yan thought that the food in this food box must have been prepared for Lu Jingxing's cousin. He was also quite surprised, he never thought that this person looked cold and cold on the outside, not only to treat the people in the house gently and tolerantly, but also to his beloved, he could cook for her, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.
The two went along their own roads, and when Yan Linglast entered the house, a family member had already brought breakfast in. The rice porridge, plus three dishes of side dishes and a plate of snow-white steamed buns, looked simple and exquisite, and there were wisps of heat on the porridge, which made him a little appetizing.
Of course, watching the food has an appetite, which is also related to his state of mind at this time. There is no quarrel with the world in this house, calm and peaceful, living in it is more comfortable and leisurely, leaving aside the many troubles of Jundu, he enjoys this feeling very much.
Although his Five Princes' Mansion is also very quiet, but in the muddy waters like Jundu, how can the mud not touch the corners of his clothes? In the midst of it, there are some things that you can't get rid of. Therefore, in this Lu Mansion, he experienced the leisure and comfort that he had never felt before, which was a different kind of life experience, with a kind of preciousness.
When Lu Jingxing came to Ling Xiao's courtyard, he first heard the sound of two conversations, and there seemed to be a slight smile in the voice, one of which was naturally Ling Xiao's.
There was a trace of curiosity in his heart, and he couldn't help but speed up the leisurely steps under his feet a little, and went straight to the door to look inside, and the person sitting opposite Ling Xiao to make tea was actually that Li Gongzi, and the two were talking happily. Seeing this scene, his expression was a little condensed, and the surprise in his eyes was not small.
Lu Jingxing walked in calmly and called coldly: "Young Master Li." ”
When they heard the sound of footsteps at the door, Ling Xiao and Zhong Limu had already looked up at the figure at the door soaked in sunlight. Seeing Lu Jing walking in, the two also got up one after another.
Zhong Limu walked over, stood in front of Lu Jingxing, and made a big salute: "Lord Lu, thank you for taking care of your little sister over the past year. ”
Lu Jingxing almost forgot that he was still carrying a food box in his hand at this moment, his wide eyes flashed with a slight light, and he was stunned to look at this handsome man who gave him a big salute for a long time, and he was shocked.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Lu Jingxing's stunned appearance, is this still the calm and calm Lu Jingxing on weekdays? However, she also knew that it was entirely because Lu Jingxing cared about her, so she would show all her emotions on her face without reservation now, and she would be so out of shape.
The sunlight poured obliquely at the door, Ling Xiao looked at the two people standing in the middle of the room against the light, came to Lu Jingxing, naturally grabbed one of his arms, and pointed to the person who had finished the salute opposite with a soft and cool gaze: "Jingxing, this is our big matchmaker, my third brother, Zhong Limu." ”
"It turned out to be Zhongli's son, fortunately, I often hear Xiao Xiao mention you." Hearing Ling Xiao's reminder, Lu Jingxing had a sense of sudden realization, his eyes moved, his lips smiled, and he returned the salute without caring about the food box in his hand.
Zhong Limu was a little dazed, blinked his eyes and looked at Ling Xiao for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "Matchmaker? What does this mean? Yu'er, why do I sound confused? ”
"Third brother, Jing Xing is the son who gave me the piano in the first place. Speaking of which, your first encounter was brokered by you, even though we didn't meet at the time. If you hadn't dragged me out into the street that day, how could I have played the piano in Qinzhai? I don't play the piano, so how can I get his attention? There was a rare layer of warm light in Ling Xiao's clear eyes, and he seriously stated the cause and effect relationship in it, and his face was soft.
Zhong Limu's gaze unconsciously fell on Lu Jingxing's arm that was held by Ling Xiao, seeing that the two of them acted so naturally and intimately, his heart suddenly became clear, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, I don't know if this result is good or bad, whether it is a catastrophe or fate.
Seeing Ling Xiao smiling lightly, he smiled very comfortably. Zhongli Mu stood there silent for a long time, hesitating in his heart, wanting to speak and stopping, but finally opened his mouth astringently, and his tone was low: "Yuan'er, you can meet a person who is in love with you, and the third brother can see that the Lord of the Lu Mansion is a good person, and the third brother should be happy for you."
But what about your engagement? Although I am extremely dissatisfied with what Yanlingzhan has done now, this marriage contract was given by the emperor, and you are resisting the decree like this.
Besides, you only have amnesia now, forgetting your childhood past with Yanlingzhan, but if you recover your memory one day, what will you regret at that time? I'm afraid it's too late by then. The third brother doesn't want to see you in pain, I'm afraid you need to be cautious about this matter. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two parties did not show much reaction, but were slightly silent. However, the finches on the side were stunned, and they looked at Ling Xiao's silhouette in a daze.
What is the origin of her second lady? Are you lucky enough to be married by the emperor in person? No, if the second lady of her family has a marriage contract, then what should her cousin young master do? And who is that Yanling Stack? She seemed to have heard that Yanling was the surname of the royal family of the Central Plains. Moreover, she had never heard the second miss mention these things before, let alone the second miss's amnesia.
Zhong Limu's words just now gave too much information, and for a while, many questions appeared in Que'er's mind, and her thoughts became cluttered. Accidentally, as soon as the fingers were released, the fan detached from between the fingers, and instantly fell to the ground with a soft sound.
As Ling Xiao heard these words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he fell into a shallow silence with Lu Jingxing. At this moment, the sudden sound of a painting fan falling to the ground broke the silence between the three of them, and Ling Xiao took this opportunity to relieve the strange atmosphere, so he turned his head to look at the finch, and said with half anger: "Reckless!" Can't even hold the fan steadily? ”
"Don't even stand still, sit down and talk slowly." Lu Jingxing reluctantly hooked his lips and smiled, but there was a deep melancholy in his eyes.
Zhong Limu's words undoubtedly woke him up and made him realize a fact. It's not that I'm afraid of that holy decree, but I'm worried that if Ling Xiao really recovers her memory and finds out that the person she loves in the end is the prince who is her childhood sweetheart, then he may lose her.
On the desk, the melting furnace fire licked the bottom of the pot, and the tea was boiling and tumbling, steaming, and the room was full of the fragrance of tea. The three of them sat around the desk, and Lu Jingxing opened the lid of the box and took out several dishes in the food box one by one, all of which he made for Ling Xiao with his own hands. But now that Zhongli Mu is here, he has to order Que'er to go to the dining room to get a few more foods.
Lu Jingxing handed the spoon to Ling Xiao unhurriedly, Ling Xiao took his hand and looked at Zhong Limu with a firm gaze, took Zhong Limu's words just now and said, "I don't have amnesia, and I know very well what I'm doing. I have made a private agreement with Jing Xing for life, and I have never taken that marriage contract seriously, so I don't count it here. I can solemnly tell the third brother that I have never loved Yanlingzhan. ”
When Lu Jingxing heard Ling Xiao say this, his heart warmed, and the gloom in his eyes faded a little. Soon, Ling Xiao's voice sounded in his ears again, but this time it was much calmer: "You always mention things from childhood, but at that time, a seven or eight-year-old child, how did she know what liking was?" Besides, after many years, even if he has a feeling of dependence on Yanlingzhan like his brother, now he is afraid that it has long faded away, right? ”
"You are not unreasonable, people's feelings will change after all, not to mention the simple mind when they were young. It's just that you are such a private partner to others, and you have violated this marriage contract, so you have to bear him first. When you return to Jundu in the future, how should you face him? Besides, it was the one you were going to stay with for the rest of your life. And those gossips, what about them? Zhongli Mu frowned, his face could not hide his melancholy.
Regarding Zhong Limu's worries, Ling Xiao didn't care. She glanced at Lu Jingxing's calm face, but her words were aimed at Zhong Limu: "The person I really want to look like is by my side now." Anyway, now in the eyes of Yanling Zhan, I am already a lost person, so let him misunderstand in the end. I don't care what he thinks of me. Besides, can someone like him be able to bear him? To talk about negativity, this is complete nonsense, I have never promised him anything. ”
Zhong Limu opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Ling Xiao said lightly again: "Besides, they can't find me, and that marriage is naturally empty talk." In the future, I will become a relative to Jing Xing, and the wood is already in the boat, what else can they do? ”
"Everyone knows that I am adrift and my whereabouts are unknown, how can some of these variables be controlled by me as a weak woman? Even if I marry someone else's wife, I'm afraid it's understandable, right? How can this be considered a protest? I think the emperor is a reasonable person. Ling Xiao slowly let go of Lu Jingxing's hand, picked up the bowl containing the bird's nest in front of him, and gently stirred it with a spoon.
She never needs to tell people so many reasons when she does things, that's what she always does. However, today is different, in the face of the person in front of her, she said a lot in one breath, and patiently explained a lot to Zhong Limu, wanting Zhong Limu to understand her determination. It's just that except for Lu Jingxing, compared to others, Zhong Limu's status in her heart is different after all.
