Episode 4 Love (5)
Five
Back at the inn, my life seemed to return to the confused stage when I first arrived.
I don't know where to go.
I don't want to go back.
I thought that Zhu Xiyu would be my end, but this full stop has become a question mark before it is finished.
I also refused a person who was very compatible with me and worthy of trust.
Stay and continue your idle life?
Just wait for Zhu Xieyu and give yourself a deadline, but also give yourself another chance?
After all, at my age, it's not easy to meet someone who I like and like me again. This kind of luck is like a person who reaps rags and inadvertently pulls out a fine pearl from a pile of broken bricks and tiles!
All right! Just stay four more months.
He waited for me for four years, and I waited for him for April.
Just let him suffer a loss.
"You're back?" Hua Xiangrong leaned lazily against the corner of the counter, holding a plate of melon seeds, and snorted boredly, "I thought you would just run away with that miracle doctor!" Hey! ”
I looked around, and there were not many customers, but why did I feel so deserted?
Maybe it's because people's hearts are cold.
"Are you still going to wait for him?"
"Wait! Left and right to do nothing. ”
"That'...... Do you want to find something for yourself to do? After all, the days of waiting are not very easy! ”
A high-end red invitation was pushed in front of me by the slender jade hand of Hua Xiangrong.
"Who's going to get married?"
"Lou Xinyue of the General's Mansion, Lord Lou Ling!"
I immediately came to the spirit: "What? Lou Xinyue is about to get married, it's good that she has finally achieved a positive result with Ji Lanye. This is good news for me, after all, it can still instill some confidence in me who is disheartened at this time.
"Who said she was going to marry Ji Lanye."
"It's not him, it's not him?"
A heart turned cold again, and asked with difficulty: "Then who is the other party?" ”
"The only son of the master of the General's Mansion - Qu Wuwu!"
I'll go, it's that wine bag and rice bag!
My first reaction was a flower stuck in cow dung.
The second reaction was that it was not simple, and there must be something hidden.
The third reaction was no, I wanted to meddle again.
After all, I have always had a sense of pity for Lou Xinyue out of sympathy for the same illness as an older young woman, her marriage is already in suspense, and she can't bear to see her marry a man who doesn't love her at all and doesn't deserve her at all and ruin her life.
"I'm afraid it's not angry or coerced and lured, right?"
Hua Xiangrong thought about it, her eyes rolled, and she was bright: "With what you and I know about her, does she seem to be a master who can be coerced and seduced?" Gambling is also completely non-existent, I think she is in a good mood! A look of happiness for a bride. Don't look down on Qu worry-free, after all, the identity of the prince is there, although he is famous, maybe he has also practiced a good ability to coax women! can make a high-minded and arrogant person like Lou Xinyue willing to marry, there is always something extraordinary. ”
I nodded: "However, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Old Man Qu intends to abdicate and hesitate between his own son and Shui Xingling Ji Lanye, if Lou Xinyue, who is the Lord of Jupiter at this time and has outstanding ability, marries his son, then the situation will be one-sided." It's hard to guarantee that it's not the old man who made it out of selfishness, or Qu Wuwu didn't have to worry about it, and the more impure Lou Xin was for his own future. ”
Hua Xiangrong smiled meaningfully: "You are always more rational than me. If I had half your sanity and pragmatism, I wouldn't be ......."
"How?"
"Nothing."
I muttered, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, hoping that the two of them are just out of affection." For this woman, I really don't want to see her unhappy. ”
"Fortunately, let's go and see her, don't we? She asked me to tell you, please accompany her to welcome the green house! She has been lonely since she was a child, and the people in the rivers and lakes have no friends, so it is rare to look down on the two of us. ”
"Strange, don't you never leave the inn?"
"There are times when you are tired and don't want to keep it."
When Yangmen is very close to Qingjiang City, before I went to the city with Hua Xiangrong specially went to the city, wanted to pick some rare and exotic toys as a gift, but Hua Xiangrong tasted very high, and I came out of the splendid Chang'an, nothing felt out of sight, can not be taken.
Hua Xiangrong pulled me back to the inn again, took out the wedding dress that I had seen her so angry, and found a mahogany box with gold lacquer carvings to hold it.
"Are you willing? I remember you wouldn't even let me touch it! ”
"I don't need to. Give it to those who need it. ”
"But...... People are so rich and powerful, will it be rare to have a set of wedding dresses? ”
"Hmph, if she doesn't look down on it, then it's really because she doesn't know the goods." Hua Xiangrong was still a little reluctant to touch the clothes, and I naturally didn't miss the opportunity, and I also touched it with my hand.
This one can't be touched, soft to the touch, silky like water, light as nothing, there seems to be water ripples on the satin surface rippling, if I guess correctly, it should be the legendary shark silk.
"This, this is indeed a precious thing, and the twelve beads on the lotus leaf collar are none other than the blue-eyed purple pearls on the bottom of the East China Sea."
"You know the goods."
"No, no." I said in my heart, "Boss Hua, this is a bloody gift, I can't be too cheap!" "Hurriedly sent the pigeon back to Chang'an, let Lao Li personally handle a set of bridal jewelry and send it quickly, be sure to have a high style, how public, how luxurious, how luxurious, after all, I represent the Luoshen Palace, I can't be cold and people look down upon, especially not let the general's mansion of the north and south look down on.
Ready to stop, Hua Xiangrong and I went to the ferry to take a boat, down the Han River, and within an hour, we arrived at Dangyang Gate, Qionghua Road Mingyue Residence - Lou Xinyue's own courtyard outside.
Sure enough, the brides are the most beautiful, and the moment I saw Lou Xinyue, the state was so good that I felt envious and jealous, and I changed from sympathy and pity for her to sympathy and pity for myself.
Mingyueju is the same as Lou Xinyue himself, simple and elegant, simple and quiet, there is no roundabout corridor set up to highlight the atmosphere, and there is no rockery pond with pretend style, it is a four-style courtyard with upright and white, the exquisite round door is connected, the white stone road is generalized, and the blue shadow is repaired by bamboo, and the green flowers are pine.
Her thoughts on building a pavilion in the atrium coincide with mine, and in the summer, she put a veil here to set up a case, which is cold wine with honeydew melon, flowers and moon, red carp, and the breeze is the smell of wine, so don't enjoy it too much.
"Boss Hua is too polite, such a generous gift, how can Xinyue afford it!"
Lou Xinyue is indeed a person who knows the goods, and the moment he opened the wooden box and touched the wedding dress, his eyes were shining.
Hua Xiangrong smiled and said, "Being able to get into the eyes of Lord Lou Ling is the blessing of this suit!" ”
Standing on the sidelines, I was a little embarrassed: "That, my congratulatory gift is still on the way, and it will arrive soon." ”
Lou Xinyue grabbed my hand and pressed it: "Where did the Lord of Su Pavilion say this, thanks to the willingness to come to the cold house, it is already full of brilliance, not to mention that I have to be my guest of the Qinglu, how fortunate is the heart of the moon, how fortunate is it!" ”
Her words and expressions were sincere, which made me really feel like I had a lot of face, you must know that Lou Xinyue has always been arrogant and does not like to be fake, and he must think like this if he can say this.
At this time, a maid in green came to report: "The master of Qu Ling is here." ”
