[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Section 81 Chapter 81 Meet Again
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Lu Erniang and Chaoxia have been going to Beijing for almost ten days. Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er are in Jiangling Mansion, and they are still not used to the days without Lu Erniang. It would be better for Lu Hong to go to the academy every day, but Lu Xiang'er would be really lonely if she wasn't accompanied by the lively Huo Qingqing.
"Brother, when did you say A-Niang would come back?" Seeing Huo Qingqing enter the kitchen to get fruit soup to drink, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly whispered to Lu Hong.
Lu Hong shook his head, looked at the night sky and replied softly, "I don't know very well. If Mr. Song's injury recovers quickly, it will take half a month for A-Niang to come back. ”
"Ah, then A-Niang may not be able to catch up with my brother's township test." Lu Xiang'er frowned and continued: "Brother, you will have to take the township test in two days." ”
"Yes, the last college exam was only held in Luming Academy. However, this township examination was attended by students from three nearby colleges. Lu Hong saw that Huo Qingqing had already come over with a bowl of fruit soup, and hurriedly shifted the topic to the township test.
Huo Qingqing heard what Lu Hong said, sat next to Lu Xiang'er and said disapprerovantly: "So what. Do you know that Luming Academy is better than those two academies in every aspect? Since you can be admitted to Luming Academy, your ability should be quite small, how can you be afraid of the students of those two academies. ”
"Who said I was scared, I just said that there were more people in these township tests." I don't know if Lu Hong and Huo Qingqing are wrong, the two always look down on each other. Huo Qingqing was so obviously disdainful, how could Lu Hong not hear it. He had long forgotten Huo Qingqing's identity and gave her a big wink.
Huo Qingqing was also used to it, and replied to Lu Hong with a pout, before turning his head to Lu Xiang'er, who was covering his mouth and smiling, and said, "Xiang'er, I heard Aunt Zheng say that tomorrow is the fifteenth, there is a temple fair in Taiyuan Temple, can you accompany me to see it?" ”
"Temple fair?" Lu Xiang'er looked at the moon in the sky, which was already very round, and then she remembered that when Lu Hong took her to Huaping Mountain, she had said that a temple fair would be held in Taiyuan Temple on the fifteenth day of every month.
Turning her head to look at Lu Hong, seeing that he nodded, Lu Xiang'er said, "It's okay, I've been bored at home for two days anyway, so let's go out for a walk." Brother, you might as well go and relax together, you can get a good night's sleep when you come back at night, and you will be able to take the township exam the day after tomorrow. ”
"Yes, my brother also said that if you put too much pressure on yourself, you will not be able to perform at your usual level." I have to say that Huo Qingqing, who was born in everyone, can still distinguish right from wrong. When it comes to business, his expression is serious, and he doesn't look like he was fighting with Lu Hong just now.
Lu Hong originally wanted to read at home and didn't go anywhere. During the college exam, Lu Hong found that he was not very smooth in the written answer questions of the strategy. However, hearing Huo Qingqing talk about Huo Qingsong's words, Lu Hong was still very convinced.
"Okay then, rest early today, and let's go to Drawing Ping Mountain together tomorrow." Lu Hong looked at the sky, then got up and said, "It's not early, I'll go back to the room to rest first, don't be too late for the two of you, go to bed early." ”
"Got it, let's go to sleep." Lu Xiang'er saw that Huo Qingqing's bowl was about to be empty, so she also pulled her up.
……
It is the highest mountain near Gangneung Province, and the Taewongsan Temple on the top of the mountain has a history of 100 years, so it can be said to be the most famous Taoist temple in Gangneung.
I don't know what year it started, but on the fifteenth day of every month, a temple fair will be held from the outside of Taiyuan to the site at the foot of Huaping Mountain. Because the temple fair gathers all the food and play in Gangneung Province and the nearby areas. On this day of every month, as long as there is nothing important, the people will come to Huaping Mountain to play like a major festival.
Huo Qingqing heard about the grand occasion of the temple fair from Aunt Zheng, and got up early. Moreover, when she saw that Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong were still asleep, she knocked on the door of the room one by one, and woke up the brother and sister from their dreams. Seeing Lu Hong's annoyed expression, Huo Qingqing immediately slipped into the kitchen to watch Aunt Zheng make breakfast. In the midst of the noise, the three of them had breakfast, then took the carriage driven by Uncle Zheng and took Aunt Zheng straight to Huaping Mountain.
The group separated at the foot of Huaping Mountain, and Uncle Zheng wanted to accompany Aunt Zheng to Taiyuan Temple to incense. Huo Qingqing wanted to go to the temple fair, and Lu Xianger and Lu Hong had no choice but to accompany her. made an appointment with Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng to go back, and the three of them walked towards the lively crowd.
Compared to the bustling streets of Gangneung Province, the temple fair is more modest. However, the food and play here are more abundant than in Gangneung. Huo Qingqing and Lu Xiang'er held hands, walked in front and looked around. Lu Hong walked behind, protecting the two. At the same time, he was keeping an eye on the people around him to avoid thieves and the like.
After walking for more than an hour, they haven't finished watching all the performances at the temple fair, but Huo Qingqing and Lu Xiang'er have tired looks on their faces. However, the two had no intention of going back, so Lu Hong proposed to take a break at a nearby pavilion halfway up the mountain. With the consent of Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing, the three of them went up the mountain. When the three of them walked through a forest, they saw that they were about to reach the halfway point of the mountain, but they didn't expect to look far away, and there was a faint figure shaking in the pavilion.
"There seems to be someone in the pavilion." Lu Xiang'er turned her head to look at Huo Qingqing, not knowing if she cared. Huo Qingqing was already tired and didn't want to go anymore, so he shook his head and said, "I just climbed up the mountain, I don't want to go down again without sitting for a while." Besides, I still want to go to Taiyuan Temple to ask my brother for a peace charm. ”
Seeing that Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing didn't want to quit, Lu Hong walked a few steps quickly and ran in front of the two girls. He wanted to see what kind of people were in the pavilion before deciding whether to rest in the pavilion. Unexpectedly, when Lu Hong approached the pavilion and saw the people inside, a look of surprise and joy immediately appeared on his face. And when he heard the footsteps behind him, Lu Hong quickly returned to normal.
Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing found that Lu Hong stopped, and they knew in their hearts that they might have met someone they were familiar with. However, when they saw the people in the pavilion, the two were still a little taken aback. Unexpectedly, a few days later, they met Liao Wenbo and his cousin Qingya again.
And just when the three of them stopped, Liao Wenbo in the pavilion had just turned around and was about to say something to Qingya, when he saw Lu Xianger and the others. Obviously, he didn't expect to meet Lu Xiang'er and the three of them in such a place, and he also had a surprised expression on his face.
The little lady named Qingya may have also noticed Liao Wenbo's expression, and she also turned around to check. When she found Lu Xiang'er and the others, she called her maid and whispered a few words. The maid immediately ran out of the pavilion and came to Lu Xiang'er and the others.
"Lu Gongzi, two little ladies, my little lady said that this pavilion was originally for people to rest. If the three of you don't think there are too many people, you can take a look at the scenery of Huaping Mountain with my little lady and son. "The maid is not very old, but she is not in a hurry to speak, and she advances and retreats in a measured manner, which is very decent.
Qingya has already sent a maid to invite, and Lu Xiang'er and the three of them can't leave even if they want to. In fact, just after seeing the two people in the pavilion clearly, Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing wanted to leave very much. I don't know what the reason is, since the last meeting, Lu Xianger and Huo Qingqing didn't want to face Liao Wenbo very much.
followed Lu Hong into the pavilion and saluted Liao Wenbo and Qingya, and Lu Xianger and Huo Qingqing walked aside to sit down and rest. And Lu Hong originally wanted to say a few more words to Liao Wenbo, but he didn't say anything because he saw the looks of his sister and Huo Qingqing. However, the fact that Lu Xianger and the three of them did not speak did not mean that Liao Wenbo and Qingya did not want to speak.
Looking at Liao Wenbo and Qingya's appearance, it seems that they also came to the temple fair to play. Moreover, the cousins are very well prepared. The two of them were now sitting in the pavilion, and several maids next to them were busy boiling water for a small stove. Looking at the teapot and teacup on the stone table, it should be ready to make tea to drink.
When a burst of tea fragrance overflowed in the pavilion, Lu Xiang'er and the three of them also got up and wanted to prepare to go to Taiyuan Temple. But Liao Wenbo found out about the actions of the three of them, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lu, the tea has been brewed, why don't you taste it with Brother Wei." At this time, the scorching sun is in the sky, and it is better to go up the mountain late. ”
Hearing Liao Wenbo say this, Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing raised their heads to look at the scorching sun in the sky, it was really sunny. Thinking of walking from this pavilion to Taiyuan Temple, it was really necessary to bask in the sun for half an hour, and the two little ladies glanced at each other for the first time, and they both stopped.
Liao Wenbo's cousin Qingya saw Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing's behavior, so she moved to the side of the two and said with a smile: "Please let Sister Rong drag it out, two sisters, I think you are also tired from the temple fair, so you came here to rest." It's only been a quarter of an hour, and the two younger sisters must not have rested well. After my sister came to Gangneung Mansion, she didn't have any friends. Today, would you like to ask the two sisters to talk to their sisters? ”
Here, Qingya had already pulled Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing to the stone table, and Liao Wenbo over there also walked in front of Lu Hong. He just made a simple 'please' gesture, coupled with a gentle smile, and Lu Hong followed back with a smile. Fortunately, Liao Wenbo's guards also prepared stools, otherwise this stone table would really not be able to seat these five people.
Liao Wenbo is worthy of being the principal of the Qingxin Teahouse, and smelling the fragrance of tea makes people calm down their irritable hearts at noon in the scorching sun. Putting this tea into her mouth again, Lu Xiang'er felt that her mouth was full of refreshment, and she even felt the aroma when she breathed.
I don't know if it's 'once born, twice cooked', or that pot of tea. In short, this pot of tea was drunk, and the five of them became acquainted. Although I haven't had a deep understanding yet, it's just a short period of time. Lu Xiang'er initially felt that Liao Wenbo and Qingya were indeed dragons and phoenixes among people.
Liao Wenbo is just like his appearance, elegant and gentle, and there is always a faint smile on his face, which makes people feel like they can't resist him. And Qingya is just like Huo Qingqing said before, beautiful and moving, with a kind of graceful and noble temperament, which makes Lu Xianger always have a feeling of looking up.
