Chapter Twenty-Seven: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Pomegranate blossoms in May, green poplars with rain.
Lu Qingwei, who got up early in the morning to take a shower and change clothes, changed into a lake-colored Chunluo twined branch pattern placket skirt, brought a box of tangled rice dumplings just sent on the stove, and took the carriage prepared early with A Mo Xiaoya to go to Fuchun Restaurant.
A few days ago, on May 5, Duanyang, Kong Zhen handed over the news a few days ago, asking her to go to Fuchun Restaurant for a meal and get together again.
Lu Qingwei responded "early", and today he also attended in full costume, just waiting to see a good show of Kong Zhen as the corner!
Kong Zhen arrived half a minute earlier than Lu Qingwei, and when she saw Lu Qingwei who arrived as promised, a particularly happy smile appeared on her face.
When Lu Qingwei got out of the carriage, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qingwei's hand, with an intimate look, "I thought my aunt wouldn't let you come......"
"I came out quietly from my family, today in Duanyang, there has always been a banquet in the palace, no one cares about me, you know!"
"Oh, this is a freshly cooked zongzi on the stove, I know you like it, so I brought a box out, and you can eat it with your aunt when you go back!"
Lu Qingwei, who had a playful face, was only busy handing the zongzi she brought to Kong Zhen when Kong Zhen held her hand, and then naturally held Kong Zhen's hand without any flaws or traces, just like when she was in the boudoir in the past, and followed Kong Zhen upstairs to the wing.
"The last time I locked my father and brother in the ancestral hall, they didn't let me come out again, I counted that you will get married in five days, so it is easy to have a banquet in the palace today, and no one in the family is there, so I can sneak out to find you......"
Lu Qingwei now has only a pure and harmless appearance on his face, and he is counting Kong Zhen's life in the Tang Mansion with his fingers crossed.
Kong Zhen looked unfazed on her face, but after hearing the word marriage, she was still lonely, "What kind of marriage is not married, in the final analysis, it is just a concubine, and it is not visible!" ”
For concubines, if the husband's family can afford it, maybe the battle will be bigger when they enter the house, and put some fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate, but if you don't care, then you can just choose a day to sit in a sedan chair and carry it in from the side door!
Some even can't even get a sedan chair, they bring the so-called dowry by themselves, and they enter the house by themselves, which is no different from the subordinates......
Thinking of that day when Mu Qinglian humiliated herself so much, Tang Yuanqing stood aside silently and even felt embarrassed, Kong Zhen felt sad for a while for no reason.
She knew in her heart that if something like that happened, what would it be like for her to marry into the Tang Mansion......
"That day was not good for me, I shouldn't have been able to get along with Tang Gongzi like that, in order to make up for my Guo family, I also called Tang Gongzi today, and he will come over in a while!"
"After he comes, for my sister, I will also make amends with him, and then my sister can get along with him, although it was an accident, but the bell must be tied to the bell, I want to come to my sister and explain to him, and it will be okay to open the heart knot!"
In Kong Zhen's extremely lonely look, Lu Qingwei only said that he had called Tang Yuanqing together today, and then took Kong Zhen to the open window of the private room upstairs to look.
Following the direction pointed by Lu Qingwei, Kong Zhen really saw the carriage with the words Tang Mansion appear downstairs in the restaurant, and after seeing Tang Yuanqing walking down from the carriage, Kong Zhen's face changed......
"Nonsense, you...... You are a girl, how can you invite a foreign man to ......"
"Tang Gongzi is my future brother-in-law, he is not a foreign man, sister, I am also here to help you, I see that Tang Gongzi has a deep misunderstanding of you, and even a cousin outside his family dares to speak ill of you, I am afraid that you will marry and be bullied in the Tang Mansion!"
"You are knowledgeable, humble, and the best in the world, as long as you explain to Tang Gongzi, no one will insult you in the future!"
Tang Yuanqing would come to this restaurant was something that Kong Zhen never expected, such an "accident" directly caught her off guard, and she didn't know how to face it at all.
When she blamed Lu Qingwei for a woman's behavior, Lu Qingwei only used Mu Qinglian's bad behavior to make Kong Zhen have nothing to say, let alone refute.
Before that, Kong Zhen really needed a chance to show herself well in front of Tang Yuanqing in order to make up for these many mistakes.
It can also allow her to have a good start after marrying into the Tang Mansion, and not be randomly divided into a room like a subordinate after entering the Tang Mansion, and live as if she didn't have this person for a lifetime.
But today......
It's not the right time at all!
"Tang Gongzi is really punctual, and my sister and I have only been here for a short time!"
Just when Kong Zhen was flustered because of Tang Yuanqing's appearance and didn't know what to do, Lu Qingwei was already familiar with the front, so that Kong Zhen couldn't stop it at all, and he didn't even have time to react......
"Miss Lu, Miss Kong!"
Tang Yuanqing, who received Lu Qingwei's greeting post some time ago, has been thinking about whether to go to the banquet, but when he remembered that he was reprimanded by Lu Qingwei on the street, there was always a hurdle in his heart.
But when he thought of those words, Tang Yuanqing finally felt that he still had to see Lu Qingwei, but that apology should be said by Lu Qingwei and Tang Yuanqing.
The phrase "I'm sorry" is for my deliberate neglect in the past, and it is also for my cousin's bad words......
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lu Qingwei's familiar words, and Tang Yuanqing, who couldn't adapt to it for a while, was stunned at first, and then saluted Kong Zhen and Lu Qingwei.
"Tang Gongzi An!"
Kong Zhen's mind is now blank, and in the face of Lu Qingwei's "surprise", now she can only return the salute to Tang Yuanqing in a proper manner.
When she just stood up, Lu Qingwei heard a sugar gourd downstairs, and at the moment, the "frizzy" knocked Kong Zhen into Tang Yuanqing's arms, and she shouted to go down first to buy sugar gourds to eat......
Tang Yuanqing, who caught Kong Zhen, hugged each other directly in this box, and Kong Zhen was still stunned at this moment because of the embrace in front of her.
It was only after Lu Qingwei ran out of this box without looking back that he came back to his senses, what he was going to do today, and he hurriedly broke free from Tang Yuanqing's arms, with a sneer on his face.
"Tang Gongzi wait a minute, I'll go find my sister back, there are many people outside Duanyang today, if she messes around, she will go to the ancestral hall again......"
Kong Zhen has important things to do now, and she really can't afford it with Tang Yuanqing, so she only excuses herself to find Lu Qingwei, and makes a good sister who thinks about others, and she also goes downstairs with her skirt and follows Lu Qingwei's footsteps.
She hoped that Lu Qingwei could chase after the "sugar gourd seller", it was best to chase farther, and she could start as soon as possible, so that she could have a free time and get along with Tang Yuanqing......
Kong Zhen's steps were extremely fast, and now there was only one thought in her mind, which was to get it as soon as possible, but what she didn't expect was that she had just stepped out of the threshold of the restaurant before her, and Tang Yuanqing had already followed Kong Zhen with the servants at home......
