Chapter 234 Three years
[Chapter 6, Volume 6]
Section 234, 234, chapter 234, three years
Time flies, and it's been three years. Dengzhou, as the largest state capital in the frontier, has not changed much in the past three years. The only change was that LΓΌ Xiang'er's soju spread from Dengzhou to outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was warmly welcomed by the surrounding small countries. On the 'trade day' of each month, one-third of foreign merchants come to Dengju to purchase shochu, wine and other fruit wines.
Of course, among these shochus, the most popular is the wine from Piaoxiang Distillery. And the wine brewed by Lu Xiang'er herself was fried to the point that it had no price. This made Lu Xiang'er, who lived in Dengzhou, nest in the house for a long time, and was afraid that others would recognize her. And several Dengzhou wine shop owners who knew Lu Xianger's identity did not dare to reveal the slightest bit of information because of the existence of the Li Mansion. Their biggest wish now is to invite Lu Xiang'er to their winery for guidance.
It's a pity that Lu Xianger is 'Mrs. Huo'. That Lord Huo is the coldest, strictest, and most terrifying Lord Huo Qingsong Huo Changshi in Dengzhou City. Moreover, Mrs. Huo is also the guardian saint of the frontier, General Li Feng and Mrs. Li, the favorite juniors. There is also a saying that General Li and his wife deliberately want to accept Mrs. Huo as their daughter.
With such a huge back, Mrs. Huo, ordinary people don't dare to have a little dissatisfaction and neglect. He didn't dare to stand guard in front of Huofu every day, waiting to ask Lu Xiang'er for guidance on how to brew soju. However, this prayer sent to Huofu has not been interrupted for three years.
"Boss Sheng's post again?" Huo Qingsong rarely had a day's rest, and was sitting in the courtyard waiting to go horseback riding with Lu Xiang'er in the suburbs. It can be seen that Huo Bao is holding a big red sticker and a bag of osmanthus cakes, and he can't help frowning.
At first, Huo Qingsong didn't care about this 'Boss Sheng', but when he saw him in person and realized his persistence, Huo Qingsong really went to understand him. If it weren't for Li Wenhao's deep friendship with him, and his lack of affection for Lu Xiang'er, Huo Qingsong wouldn't have planned to remain silent.
I believe that anyone who is a gentleman will not be able to ignore a young man who wants to be good-looking, rich, and talented, and always sends stickers and osmanthus cakes to his wife. Moreover, Huo Qingsong also revealed to the 'Boss Sheng' that Lu Xianger liked to eat osmanthus cake the most, and he 'sparred' with Li Wenhao for three days.
Huo Bao was holding two things in his hand, and when he was thinking about how to reply to Huo Qingsong's words, he saw Lu Xiang'er's figure and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, in the past three years, Huo Bao has not let him go when Huo Qingsong was about to suffocate because of this incident. Sometimes, Huo Bao wanted to find that 'Boss Sheng' in secret and teach him a lesson.
"What's the matter, the brows are almost together." Lu Xiang'er was still worried about Huo Bao beside her, and did not hold Huo Qingsong's face in front of her eyes. In the past three years, Huo Qingsong has become more and more manly, and Lu Xiang'er sometimes looks at his gentle eyes, and she will be distracted.
Finding Huo Qingsong's eyes, Lu Xiang'er saw the stickers and osmanthus cakes in Huo Bao's hand, and understood something, and said with a smile: "It's been so long, I don't mind, what do you mind." Let's go, I've changed my clothes, and I'd like to ride a little more today. β
"Alright, let's go." Huo Qingsong got up, only to see Lu Xiang'er's outfit clearly, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with brilliance.
After three years of recuperation, Lu Xianger's body has undergone tremendous changes. First of all, Lu Xiang'er has grown taller, a head taller than three years ago, and has reached the height of Huo Qingsong's nose. And Lu Xianger's already good looks have added maturity and charm to her happy married life, which is more and more attractive to people. Coupled with a peaceful day and a warm life, Lu Xianger's whole body is full of a brilliance called happiness. Huo Qingsong sometimes wanted to lock Lu Xiang'er in the mansion and not let any man see her.
However, in Huo Qingsong's eyes, Lu Xiang'er, who likes to see the most, is dressed up at this time. With an unadorned appearance, Lu Xiang'er is even more delicate. Dressed in an exotic riding outfit, he showed two long legs. The special horse whip in his hand added a little heroism to Lu Xiang'er. If you don't know Lu Xiang'er, when you see this look, you will definitely exclaim, 'Where did the beautiful general come from'.
Lu Xiang'er saw Huo Qingsong's eyes, and her heart was still the same as before, with a faint shyness. But she still walked to Huo Qingsong's side, took his big hand, and said softly: "Let's go, you've watched it for three years, and you can't see enough." β
"Where can I see enough?" The corners of Huo Qingsong's mouth raised slightly, and he immediately took Lu Xiang'er's little hand, and said to Huo Bao behind him: "Huo Bao, go and lead the horse for the lady, let's go out of the city." β
"The little ones are going." Huo Bao saw that Huo Qingsong had forgotten what had just happened, and immediately handed over the things in his hand to Lu Wei, and expressed his grievances to her. But Lu Wei glanced at Lu Xiang'er quickly, and then dared to give Huo Bao a strange look, and quickly entered the backyard.
Two years ago, Huo Bao finally decided to ask the chief steward in the Jingshi General's Mansion and asked Lu Xianger to marry Lu Wei. Lu Xianger did not have the habit of being a 'matchmaker' casually, but gave Luwei three days to think about it. After getting the nod of Luwei, Lu Xianger held a wedding for Luwei and Huo Bao.
After Huo Bao and Lu Wei got married, Lu Wei continued to stay by Lu Xianger's side. But after getting married, Lu Wei became more and more secure, and faintly became the 'big steward' in the eyes of all the people in the house. Of course, this is only manifested in the inner house. When dealing with foreign affairs, Huo Bao was also accompanied by Huo Qingsong to become a big steward like his father. As for the one who followed Huo Qingsong all day long, he became Huo Kai, and there was also a little guy named Huo Shan. In these days, looking at Huo Kai's attitude towards Luyun, Huo Shan is almost becoming Huo Qingsong's real 'sidekick'.
Huo Qingsong and Lu Xiang'er arrived outside the door, Huo Kai led three horses respectively, and there was a carriage behind them. In the carriage, there were green clouds and green shows, and the driver was Huo Shan. After Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong got on their horses, the group drove directly out of the city. When he arrived at the city gate, he met Li Wenhao and another young lady with some heroic spirit.
Li Wenhao and the little lady beside him saw Huo Qingsong and Lu Xiang'er coming side by side, and their eyes suddenly lit up, what a good match. The men are handsome and the women are pretty, which is really eye-catching. Li Wenhao let out a long laugh and said heartily: "I said why are you so late, it turns out that you are busy dressing up." β
"Didn't General Xiao Li also dress up carefully before he went out?" Huo Qingsong raised his eyebrows and looked at the little lady beside Li Wenhao. The little lady's face immediately turned red, and she approached Lu Xiang'er to talk to her. And Li Wenhao was also slightly embarrassed, but he didn't dare to stare at Huo Qingsong, just snorted lightly, and rode his horse out of the city.
When Lu Xiang'er saw Li Wenhao's appearance, she pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't dare to go too far, which made him feel even more embarrassed. So, Lu Xiang'er turned to the little lady beside her and whispered: "Ruoxi, can you persuade your cousin again, don't send stickers and osmanthus cakes to the house again." β
"Xiang'er, it's not like you don't know how many times I've persuaded you." Sheng Ruoxi also rolled her eyes a little reluctantly, but instead persuaded Lu Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, I think it's better for you to find a chance to go to the wine shop and calm his heart, so that he will stop that kind of boring behavior." β
"I also want to find a chance, but Langjun won't give me this opportunity." Lu Xiang'er glanced at Huo Qingsong in front of her, and her voice was lower. Sheng Ruoxi, who was provoked, rolled her eyes again, and immediately replied: "Then I don't care." In two days, I'll be returning to Huaifeng Mansion, so you might as well settle it yourself. β
"I'm going back again, when do you plan to come back this time?" Lu Xiang'er was a little accustomed to Sheng Ruoxi's departure, and she didn't care too much. But Sheng Ruoxi was silent for a while, and then said a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it will be longer this time, my father and mother have already agreed to Mrs. Li's proposal, and I will stay in Huaifeng Mansion until the day of marriage." β
"Ahh Lu Xiang'er let out a low snort, then looked at Li Wenhao in front of her, and couldn't help but say, "Then he really keeps the clouds open and sees the moon?!" β
"Xiang'er-" Sheng Ruoxi heard Lu Xiang'er's 'truth', and naturally lowered her head shyly. In order not to give Lu Xiang'er a chance to make fun of herself, Sheng Ruoxi didn't wait for Lu Xiang'er to speak again, and immediately said: "This time, you want me to give some gifts to the princess on your behalf, the princess is pregnant with twins this time." β
"Naturally, I brought some food, the princess said it in the letter." When Lu Xiang'er thought of Chaoxia's prospering heirs, she was very envious. Chaoxia won a man in one fell swoop with every child, but she made Duan Wang happy like something. This time it is another twin child, and it is even more responsive to Chaoxia's needs. And when Chaoxia was pregnant with this baby, her appetite was very strange, and she wanted to eat the specialties that Lu Xianger had brought from the frontier. Lu Xianger is naturally responsive to Chaoxia.
However, thinking of the child, Lu Xianger became a little unhappy. Now Lu Xianger is nineteen years old, but there is still no sign of pregnancy, which makes her a little worried. Although Huo Qingsong didn't care, Mrs. Li had already mentioned Lu Xiang'er many times, Huo Qingsong was the only heir of the General's Mansion, but he had no heirs. If this continues, Huo Qingsong just doesn't want to take a concubine, and Song Beiqiao of Jingshi will not look at the Huo family. Especially after Huo Qingqing's children turned one year old, Lu Xianger felt more pressure.
Sheng Ruoxi saw Lu Xiang'er's expression and understood what she was thinking. Thinking about the experience summed up after getting along with Lu Xiang'er, Sheng Ruoxi immediately smiled and said: "Xiang'er, there is no one around here, why don't we play again, I don't believe that my 'Black Phoenix' can't beat your 'Little Black'." If you lose again this time, I'll give you the whip you want the most. β
"That's what you say, it's what you say." Lu Xiang'er had been peeping at a horse whip collected by Sheng Ruoxi for a long time, and now when she heard her words, she immediately shifted her attention. The two glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their whips and galloped forward. And Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao, who fell behind the two, listened to the strings of silver bell-like smiles of Lu Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi, and they were not to be outdone and chased after them with a smile.
