After getting out of the carriage, Lu Xiang'er and Song Yuan seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and never mentioned Lu Erniang again. And the relationship between the two seems to be much closer. Xiao Wu, who was driving the car, didn't know what was going on in the carriage, so he looked a little confused and a little envious.

Since Lu Xiang'er got off the carriage, she was attracted by the surrounding scenery, and she kept looking left and right. This Gangneung Mansion is really not comparable to a small county in Qingshi County, that is, the width of this street is two or three times larger than that of Qingshi County. The shops on both sides of the street are one after another, and the flow of pedestrians is very lively.

"Xiang'er, don't look at it. After a while, I'll take you around this Gangneung Mansion. "Song Yuan rarely saw Lu Xiang'er's curious expression, and made up his mind to take her around after finishing the 'business'.

Lu Xiang'er also knew the purpose of her coming to Jiangling Mansion, nodded and followed Song Yuan and entered the teahouse in front of her. This teahouse is worthy of being a tea 'building', with three floors up and down, elegantly decorated, full of fragrance, and has a very strong literati atmosphere. Even the shopkeeper who greeted the guests was soft-spoken and polite.

Looking at the guests of this teahouse, Lu Xianger said curiously: "Sir, the business of this teahouse is really good. This is the time of the hour, and there are many people drinking tea."

"Of course, this teahouse is one of the best teahouses in Gangneung Province. There are many types of tea, and the pastries are also a must. Song Yuan followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor, and kept introducing this teahouse. Lu Xiang'er listened carefully, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but turn around and said: "At first glance, this guest officer is a frequent customer of our teahouse, and he really knows our teahouse." By the way, recently our teahouse also launched a small pastry, I don't know if the guest officer wants to have a plate. ”

"Okay, then have two plates, and a pot of capstone flowers." Song Yuan pointed to a private room by the window and walked in with Lu Xiang'er.

When the shopkeeper heard Song Yuan's tea, his expression immediately became respectful. Because this monttop stone flower is the first tea of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the signature tea of their restaurant. This price is not cheap, and the average person cannot afford to drink. For such a person, the professionally trained shopkeeper should naturally be more careful when entertaining. At the same time, he also guessed the identities of Song Yuan and Lu Xiang'er in his heart.

Lu Xianger never drank tea, and she didn't know anything about tea, so she sat at the window and looked at the scenery outside. At this time, it was already October, and it was very cold in the morning and evening, but after the hour, the sun was still very strong, and I didn't feel cold at all when I opened the window. Seeing Lu Xiang'er's leisure, Song Yuan also sat opposite with a slight smile, waved his hand to the shopkeeper, and asked him to serve tea and pastries. Of course, Song Yuan did not forget Xiao Wu, and asked the shopkeeper to send him a plate of pastries as well.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought a pot of tea and two plates of pastries. Lu Xiang'er was not hungry at all, but it could be seen that this pastry was too delicate, so she picked up a piece and tasted it. Lu Xiang'er's eyes lit up after this taste, and Song Yuan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. I thought that when I left later, I would pack two more packets of this pastry and take it back to eat.

After eating two pieces, Lu Xiang'er couldn't eat anymore, so she also followed Song Yuan's example and drank tea. Not to mention, Lu Xiang'er just doesn't know how to drink tea, and she smells that this tea fragrance is an indescribable fragrance. When you drink it in your mouth, it's like drinking wine, and your mouth is full of aroma.

"This tea is so fragrant." After swallowing it, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but marvel at Song Yuan. Song Yuan smiled and said, "At your young age, do you still know the fragrance of this tea?" ”

"Sir, although Xiang'er is small, she can make wine that will amaze him. Although the aroma of wine and tea is different, it is also the same. Lu Xiang'er's mouth curled, and her expression was a little angry. In her heart, she was also strange, her sense of smell and taste seemed to be very sensitive, otherwise she wouldn't know the best time to smell the fruit wine.

In addition to this, Lu Xianger also discovered one thing. In the past few years, she has secretly drunk fruit wine, which has gradually given birth to the aroma of wine on her body. Although this wine aroma only exudes a faint wine aroma after Lu Xiang'er drinks alcohol, it also makes her very distressed. Lu Xianger has heard of all kinds of body fragrances, but she has never heard that the fragrance of wine can become a body fragrance.

Song Yuan saw that Lu Xiang'er's expression suddenly became distressed, so he thought she was angry, and hurriedly pointed to a building in the distance and said, "Xiang'er, look there, do you know what place it is?" ”

"Where?" Song Yuan's hand pointed out the window, and Lu Xiang'er was immediately attracted to look at his finger.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a large 'Annex'. The most obvious thing in the 'Annex' is a very tall stone statue of a literati dressed in deep clothes and elegant manners. In addition, there are a lot of people coming and going in this 'annex'. Lu Xiang'er couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, but she could see that the clothes they were wearing were the same. Moreover, those people are in twos and threes, and they don't want to be subordinate to 'family ding' at all.

Lu Xiang'er was very strange, so she turned her head to look at Song Yuan. When she saw the smile on Song Yuan's face, Lu Xiang'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said with some surprise: "That is Luming Academy?!" ”

"Yes, that is indeed Luming Academy." Song Yuan nodded, and said, "Luming Academy is the only academy in Jiangling Mansion, and it is also a famous academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Today's prime ministers, and many officials are from Luming Academy. ”

Listening to Song Yuan's profound tone, Lu Xiang'er said with some hesitation: "What does Mr. mean, as long as you enter this Luming Academy, even if you have a bright future?" ”

Song Yuan didn't answer Lu Xiang'er's question, but instead said: "Luming Academy also recruits female students, and those with good grades will be recommended by the academy to study in Guozijian." ”

"Huh?" Lu Xiang'er thought that Song Yuan wanted to talk about Lu Hong's future, but she didn't expect him to mean something. Thinking of Song Yuan's meaning, Lu Xiang'er was a little apprehensive, and cautiously tentatively said: "Sir, I'm not even ten years old, and Luming Academy won't accept it." I just hope that my brother can enter the academy and have a good future, so that I and my mother can have a relationship in the future. ”

The corners of Song Yuan's mouth raised, picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, before he said leisurely: "You and your aunt don't know Brother Hong'er's true intentions. What he really yearns for is the barracks and being a general. The purpose of his desire to enter Luming Academy was for the martial arts three years later. Thus entering the military headquarters and finally entering the barracks. ”

"Barracks." Lu Xiang'er was slightly stunned, and then thought of the scene when she was in Qinghe Village, when she met the forward troops of the counterinsurgency army and competed with the young general. It turned out that he wanted to become a general at that time; It turned out that Lu Hong's dream turned out to be this; It turned out that neither she nor Lu Erniang knew about it.

Lu Xiang'er was silent in Song Yuan's expectation, and when she saw her gloomy expression, she said softly: "Under normal circumstances, even if you win the martial arts, you have to stay in the military department for a year before you can enter the barracks. As for the rest, it's up to him. However, if Brother Hong stays in the military department for a year, you and your aunt will definitely have to follow you to the Beijing Division. And if you want to gain a foothold in Jingshi, it is a little difficult for Brother Hong to rely on herself. If you can get into the country, it will be different. Xiang'er, you should know that being a 'wine lady' is not a long-term solution after all. ”

"What the gentleman said, Xiang'er remembers. However, can you make Xiang'er think about it. Song Yuan thought so far, but Lu Xiang'er didn't expect it. And Song Yuan thought so thoughtfully, he had to let Lu Xiang'er be ready to think about the future direction.

Song Yuan sighed lightly: "Xiang'er, I didn't plan to say these words to you. But after this period of time, you don't feel like an ordinary little lady at all. Moreover, Brother Hong and your aunt seem to listen to your opinions. Therefore, for you, for your aunt, and for your brother, some things will inevitably fall on you. Three years sounds like a long time, but it's actually a short time. ”

As he spoke, Song Yuan's gaze drifted out of the window, with some sadness on his face as if he was recalling something. Lu Xiang'er also fell into her own thoughts because of Song Yuan's words, and didn't notice the expression on Song Yuan's face. There was a sudden silence in the room, and only the shouting of vendors could be heard outside.

After a while, Lu Xianger had some direction for the future, and her heart relaxed. It can be seen that Song Yuan's eccentric appearance, she suddenly thought of why Song Yuan said those words to herself. With a roll of her eyes, Lu Xiang'er asked coldly, "Mr.'s home should also be in Jingshi." ”

"Yes, in Jingshi." Song Yuan had something in his heart, and he didn't think deeply about Lu Xiang'er's intentions, so he heard Lu Xiang'er say again: "That gentleman really wants my aunt to go to Beijing to go to the capital division, so he said so much. ”

Song Yuan suddenly didn't come up in a breath, and looked at Lu Xiang'er with some surprise in his eyes. To be honest, Song Yuan really had some such careful thoughts. He was afraid that after Lu Erniang knew his identity, he would not agree to marry him. Only then did he try his best to find a good future for Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, so that Lu Erniang's identity could be improved. In this way, Lu Erniang would not reject Song Yuan with the excuse that the door was improper and the household was wrong. Unexpectedly, this little bit of caution was actually seen by the little Lu Xiang'er, how could Song Yuan not be surprised.

After Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, she also felt that she had shown too much, so she pretended not to care and looked at the sky outside the window. Only then did he turn his head, as if what he said just now was not hers, and smiled mischievously: "Sir, let's sit down again, it's going to be noon, it doesn't seem that there is no food sold in this teahouse." ”

"Well, yes, it's time for us to go." was interrupted by Lu Xiang'er like this, Song Yuan really didn't think deeply and stopped thinking.

If it weren't for Lu Xiang'er's reminder, Song Yuan really forgot that he had something to do when he came to Jiangling Mansion this time. Thinking of this, Song Yuan immediately got up and called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and then took Lu Xiang'er downstairs and out of the teahouse. Sitting in the carriage, Song Yuan pointed out the way for Xiao Wu and walked towards the old craftsman's house.
