Chapter 454 Leave plenty of space
What does this Jiang Panpan have to do with Xiao Chu? When she returned to the city today, he even came here in a carriage to wait for her, and just when she was in doubt, a carriage stopped not far from the pavilion, but the person who came down made her feel very familiar.
It turned out to be Xu Changping.
Her eyes looked at Xiao Chu, but the latter only sat silently and did not respond to Lu Yao's question.
Xu Changping seemed to be eagerly waiting for someone, and didn't pay attention to Lu Yao and Xiao Chu in the remote pavilion, or maybe it was the carriage that knocked on the benefits and blocked the view, making them very hidden.
A gorgeous carriage came slowly, particularly conspicuous in the crowd, stopped at the long pavilion, a maidservant respectfully lifted the curtain, a girl in purple got off the carriage and walked towards the pavilion, surrounded by four maids in green clothes.
Lu Yao snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Changping and walked towards the pavilion, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, that Xu Changping and Jiang Panpan looked at each other, the two looked at each other and smiled, in Lu Yao's suspicious eyes, they actually saw the two of them sitting down in the pavilion, and the maid stayed outside the pavilion after serving tea, leaving enough space for the two.
"What are they ......" Lu Yao said that the hands in his sleeves were clenched, and he looked at the two with sharp eyes, Jiang Panpan, who had always been arrogant, showed an extremely doting and coquettish smile after seeing Xu Changping, Xu Changping didn't know what to say, and the two laughed happily, and they were almost snuggled together, the closer they were, the more angry Lu Yao became.
"Miss Lu Er." Xiao Chu looked at her and said, "Now, go over and disturb her, just for a while." ”
Lu Yao looked at Xiao Chu in surprise, the latter nodded very firmly, she hesitated for a moment and walked towards the two, the girl in green clothes stopped her and said, "This girl, what is the matter with you?" ”
The two people who heard the movement in the pavilion looked over, from surprise to displeasure at the beginning, Jiang Panpan got up and walked up to her and said, "Lu Yao? What are you here to do? ”
Xu Changping was still sitting in place, with a little dodge in his eyes, and Lu Yao looked at the two of them with contempt: "I'm just strolling around, it seems that I'm disturbing you." ”
As she spoke, she turned around and walked away, seeing that there was no Xiao Chu in the pavilion, she walked straight towards the carriage that came to her, opened the curtain and walked up, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Chu'an sitting.
"I'm so!" Lu Yao said angrily, sat down beside Xiao Chu, the carriage walked leisurely, she looked at Xiao Chu and said, "Xiao Chu, why do you want me to be sad?" ”
"What do you think of the relationship between the two of them?" Xiao Chu asked, glanced sideways at Lu Yao, and saw her frowning and unhappy, "What else?" In cahoots! ”
Xiao Chu smiled but did not speak, with thoughts in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't answer his question, Lu Yao pursed his lips and became more and more unhappy, thinking of the appearance of Jiang Panpan and Xu Changping in the Fang Cai Pavilion, he felt the anger in his heart that could not be calmed down for a long time.
"It's about your sister." As soon as Xiao Chu's words came out, Lu Yao's eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Sister?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Chu said very seriously: "Miss Jiang and Xu Changping have a secret relationship, and the relationship between the two families has always been good. ”
"What do you mean......" Lu Yao said in disbelief: "Then Xu Changping and Jiang Panpan have a personal relationship?" ”
"This matter is inconclusive, and at this moment, Xu Changping and your sister have no marriage contract, and it is not wrong to get along with Miss Jiang." Xiao Chu said, just now he deliberately wanted to let Lu Yao disturb him, just to see Xu Changping's reaction, he was so empty-hearted,
A lot of things seem to be clearer.
The carriage leisurely returned to the city again, and Lu Yao also thought to herself, although she didn't think as much as Xiao Chu, but she thought in her heart that fortunately her sister didn't marry Xu Changping, if he and Jiang Panpan really had something, wouldn't it be even more wronged by her sister?
Lu Yao's fists clenched a little, looked at Xiao Chu and said, "General Xiao, what do we need to do now?" ”
"Go back to the city first." Xiao Chu said indifferently, the carriage went straight towards his mansion, Lu Yao looked at the scene outside the city intently, there was some admiration in her eyes, although she often went out of the mansion to play, there were not many opportunities to go out of the city, and at this moment the opportunity was rare, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Xiao Chu, when my sister's body is better, can you take us out for a walk?" Lu Yao said with a smile, with expectation in his eyes: "Presumably with you, my father will naturally not stop me." ”
"Okay." Xiao Chu readily agreed, and the carriage drove the three of them towards Jiangnan City, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
The carriage soon walked into the town, this town does not look big, it can even be said to be a village, there are only a few inns and small buildings on the street, and the business is not very good, the three of them got off the carriage and chose a slightly larger restaurant to walk in, and immediately there was a shopkeeper to greet him: "Three objective, do you want to live in the hotel or eat?" ”
"Eat." Mu Chen said, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked the name of the dish, Gao Weihu looked at the restaurant, only to see that there was a man in blue with his back to him in the corner, and there was no one else, she said: "This restaurant is quite deserted, I don't know if it's because of the meal." ”
The shopkeeper replied: "We have never had much business here, although there are many cars and horses, but there are not many people who stop to rest, and we will go to Jiangnan for a day, and no matter how bad it is, we will rest in the big town in front of us." ”
"I see." Gao Weihu nodded, and the shopkeeper bowed slightly and walked towards the back kitchen.
The shopkeeper said while flipping the abacus: "The three of you went to Jiangnan?" ”
Gao Weihu and Beitang Jinyu glanced at each other and replied, "Exactly." ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "That Jiangnan, it is indeed a good place, how many people are in a hurry to go, but it's just ......" He sighed leisurely and said: "Recently, something big happened in Jiangnan, Miss Lu was assassinated on the day of her wedding, and she was seriously ill and bedridden and has not woken up yet, it's a pity." ”
Gao Weihu heard Gu Yanran mention it a little, and at this moment she asked curiously: "Who wants to assassinate Miss Lu?" I heard that she was gentle and kind, and she had never been an enemy of anyone. ”
"Who knows that?" The shopkeeper shook his head: "Life and death, wealth and wealth, have their own destiny, and heaven is destined." ”
Gao Weihu frowned and said, "That's ...... Has Miss Luk's illness improved? ”
"The doctors in the entire Jiangnan City have seen a doctor, and they all said that they can't find out the reason, and they are afraid that there is no cure."
"Cut, I'm afraid it's not that I can't find out, but I don't dare to say it." Suddenly, the man in blue sneered, he got up and walked straight to the shopkeeper, paid the money, and walked away with his baggage.
Gao Weihu glanced at him, only to see a tall figure, which quickly disappeared.
This town is really small, and Beitang Jinyu thought about changing places to rest, so the horsewhip was gently raised again, and he headed forward.
Gao Weihu looked at the scenery outside the window, and said with some doubts: "Beitang Jinyu, how do I remember that you told me that there was no town inn on the road when you were close to Jiangnan, this is ......?"
"We're not on the official road." Beitang Jinyu understood her doubts and explained: "Now that everyone knows that I went out of Beijing to search, there must be many people who can't hold back, although this trail is farther away, but there are many guest houses, which is more convenient and safer. ”
Walking on the official road is inevitably a little swaggering, at this moment Gao Weihu is injured, he doesn't want to have any more accidents, and he is afraid that Gao Weihu will not be able to bear it.
Gao Weihu also knew what he meant, he was a high and powerful emperor, and I don't know how many people in the world coveted his throne, and it could be seen from the assassination alone, so be extra careful.
Xiao Chu was dealing with things in the study when he received the news from Beitang Jinyu, Lu Yao fell asleep on the table, this somewhat stuffy weather always makes people want to sleep, without a trace sent the letter, and was a little surprised to see that Lu Yao was there.
"Tomorrow evening to Jiangnan."
Beitang Jinyu's letter was only a few sentences, but Xiao Chu was a little overjoyed, and the dark waves in his eyes surged with a little light, and he said: "Tomorrow, the emperor will arrive in Jiangnan, and this matter is ...... Keep it a secret. ”
Wuxian understood what Xiao Chu meant, and wanted to entertain the emperor quietly, he looked at Lu Yao on the side and said, "General, this Second Miss Lu ......"
"And let her be here, it will be sad to go back to the Lu Mansion." Xiao Chu said, thinking that Lu Yao often cried and came to the house to find herself in those days, she was worried about herself and hated herself for being incompetent, and Lu Wei asked him to let him do something here to relax, so as not to hurt himself too much.
Everyone in this Jiangnan city said that Lu Wei regarded Lu Xue as the pearl of his palm, and he was extremely favored, but in fact, he was also thoughtful about Lu Yao.
Without a Trace was ordered to retreat, and silence returned to the study, and he read the letter and thought that they would come tomorrow, and his heart was impatient.
Lu Yao opened her misty eyes and found that her sleeves were a little sticky, she glanced at Xiao Chu weakly, quickly wiped the corners of her mouth, and coughed lightly: "General Xiao, are you still busy?" ”
She poured a cup of tea, walked to Xiao Chu with the teacup and looked at it, suddenly glanced at the letter on the side, and said curiously: "General Xiao, who will come tomorrow?" ”
Xiao Chu folded the letter and said, "A few old friends." ”
"Your friend?" Lu Yao nodded without doubting him, and said with a smile: "Since they are both General Xiao's friends and Lu Yao's friends, do you need me to pick them up with you tomorrow?" ”
Xiao Chu shook his head: "No need, there are still some important things to discuss tomorrow, and it is not too late for them to arrive, you should go home." ”
Lu Yao sighed, although she was a little disappointed, but she was already in a good mood when she thought that she could come and go freely in Xiao Chu's mansion these days, and she would listen to these things to Lu Xue every night, so that she would also be a little happy.
Hearing her words, Beitang Jinyu said: "One side of the water and soil raises one person, you love Jiangnan, and even this Jiangnan woman also likes it?" ”
Gao Wei Lake raised his eyebrows: "Beautiful scenery, who doesn't love it?" Beitang Jinyu thought about it, and he couldn't deny it.
The carriage soon arrived at the house where Xiao Chu lived, and at this moment he was already standing at the door waiting, seeing the carriage coming slowly, his heart welled up with joy, but he didn't show a little on the surface.
Beitang Jinyu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and reached out to touch Gao Huanhu, Xiao Chu took a few steps forward and hurriedly leaned over to salute, but Beitang Jinyu waved his hand and said, "Don't salute, go in first." ”
Xiao Chu also knew that Beitang Jinyu didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, so he led Beitang Jinyu and Gao Weihu towards the mansion, he looked at Gao Weihu and saw that her complexion was not bad, and she walked no differently, thinking that the injury on her back had already healed.
After walking to the front hall, Xiao Chu leaned over and saluted: "The minister sees the emperor." ”
Beitang Jinyu said indifferently: "General Xiao doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has ordered someone to prepare dinner, is the emperor and Miss Gao okay all the way?" Xiao Chu asked, and Beitang Jinyu responded: "Gao Haohu has been injured a little, you can ask a doctor to come and see it tomorrow, it should be fine." ”
