Section 185 Chapter 185 Mrs. Lee

Watching Lu Hong's background slowly disappear behind that door, Lu Erniang and the others walked to the side and let more other candidates enter the place at the entrance of the palace. And Song Yuan saw the gazes of Old Madam Zheng from time to time, and he was bored again, so he urged a few people to get into the carriage.

Zheng Baiyang, who sent Zheng Tong to the palace, seemed to see Song Yuan's impatient look, and insisted that the old lady Zheng, who was still coming over, changed her mind and got into her own carriage. And when the Zheng family walked away, Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Fangfei's mother and daughter all glanced at the carriage here. Mrs. Zheng's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment, but Zheng Fangfei's face had a strange smugness.

Chaoxia covered the curtain in the carriage and glanced at Lu Xiang'er very meaningfully, and Lu Xiang'er's face immediately sank. was originally persuaded by Chaoxia, and some did not believe what Zheng Fangfei said Lu Xiang'er, but at this time they almost completely believed it. However, as long as Lu Xiang'er didn't listen to the people closest to her, she still had that little bit of suspicion.

What just happened between Lu Xianger and Zheng Fangfei, Song Yuan and Lu Erniang did not find out because of the Zheng family. At this time, sitting in the car, Lu Erniang lifted the curtain on the other side to breathe, and did not pay attention to the change in Lu Xianger's expression. Song Yuan inadvertently seemed to see that Lu Xiang'er was wrong, but when he just wanted to ask, Lu Erniang turned his head.

"Zijing, look at it, it seems to be the carriage of the Wen family." Lu Erniang's voice, Song Yuan had to look out. Seeing the people coming down from the carriage, Song Yuan immediately smiled and said, "Erniang, you see that your cousin-in-law is always angry that Brother Song wants to take the martial arts exam, isn't this still here to send him." Go, go down and see him. ”

"You're thinking about running on your cousin-in-law again." Lu Erniang saw Song Yuan's true intentions at a glance, and provoked Song Yuan to laugh and get out of the carriage.

When Lu Erniang saw Song Yuan get out of the car, she said to Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia: "Let's go down too, I saw that my cousin and Yao'er are also here." ”

Lu Xiang'er, who didn't want Lu Erniang to find out that she had something on her mind, raised a smile when she heard Lu Erniang say, and happily jumped out of the car with Chaoxia first. Then, the two helped Lu Erniang out of the carriage again, and then walked to the carriage where the four members of the Wen family were together.

Since Wen Yao saw Song Yuan, she guessed that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia must also be there, and began to look around. When she really saw the two of them, she hurried over and said with a smile: "I thought I wouldn't meet you, but it can be seen that we really have some fate." ”

"It seems that Sister Yao'er is in a good mood today, and she laughed as soon as she met." Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia smiled at Wen Yao, and then pulled her back to Mrs. Wen.

Under Song Yuan's eyes, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, who saw Lord Wen for the first time, first saluted him, and then turned to Mrs. Wen and Wen Song. Mrs. Wen obviously had a good impression of Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, and without waiting for the two of them to give a salute, she stepped forward and grabbed their hands, and talked to Lu Erniang with a smile.

While the four elders were talking to each other, the four juniors could only watch from the sidelines. Wen Song and Wen Yao looked at each other helplessly, and it was very funny in Lu Xiang'er's eyes. But it also reminded Lu Xianger of her and Lu Hong, as if she had encountered such a thing.

The cold morning glow in front of outsiders was secretly observing Wen Nuo. I don't know if it's because of Chaoxia's feeling that something is wrong, she feels that Lord Wen's gaze at her seems to contain a deep meaning that people can't understand. Speaking of which, Master Wen is very similar to Wen Song, and his body is thinner. And his eyes are very attentive, and he seems to be very energetic. However, it may be because Master Wen has been a Dali Qing for many years, and there are always those scrutinies in his eyes when he looks at people. It was in this scrutinizing gaze that Chaoxia saw a difference.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer candidates at the gate of the palace, Lord Wen and Mrs. Wen hurriedly let Wen Song in. But at this moment, before Wen Song approached the palace gate, Li Wenhao's voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone turned around to look, and saw Li Wenhao jumping off a carriage and striding towards Wensong. When passing by Lu Xiang'er and a few people, Li Wenhao first saluted a few people, and then glanced deeply at Chaoxia before entering the palace with Wen Song.

Song Yuan didn't care about the departure of Li Wenhao and Wen Song, and all set their eyes on the pair of men and women who walked slowly. This pair of men and women, the man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and mighty. With a little vicissitudes on his face, he was full of fierceness; And the woman's appearance is also good, but she is not as heroic as her.

The two walked in front of Song Yuan and the others, clasped their fists together and said, "Li Luo (Cui Lan) has seen Grandpa Guo and Mrs., Lord Wen and Mrs. Wen-"

"General Li and Mrs. Li are polite." Song Yuan and Wen Nuo obviously knew the person in front of them very well, and they both had some smiles on their faces. Song Yuan took a step forward, shook his fists with Li Luo, and laughed: "General Li and Mrs. Li are afraid that they haven't seen my wife yet, this is the mistress of the Guogong Mansion, Lu Erniang." ”

As she spoke, Lu Erniang stepped forward very decently and greeted Li Luo and his wife separately. Lu Xiang'er, who was standing behind, saw Lu Erniang with a smile on her face and spoke to people very skillfully, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. Thinking that if she became Mrs. Huo, she would probably be like this, so Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but look at Lu Erniang.

Song Yuan saw that there were fewer and fewer people nearby, and some people were looking here, so he smiled and said, "Although it is difficult to get together today, we can't just stand here and talk." Anyway, there are still two hours before the end of the palace exam, so we might as well find a place to sit. ”

Wen Nuo and Li Luo both looked at their wives and groaned slightly before nodding in agreement. So, a group of people got into their own carriages and rushed to a large restaurant nearby. Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia and Wen Yao didn't want to go together, but they didn't know what Song Yuan's idea was, so they didn't let the three of them leave.

The group chartered the largest room in the restaurant and sat at two tables, men and women. Because it was not yet time to eat, the two tables were filled with tea and pastries. Not to mention what Song Yuan was talking about with Wen Nuo and Li Luo. Lu Erniang, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li chatted very happily. As for Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia, and Wen Yao, they also sat opposite Lu Erniang and the three, gathering together and whispering.

"Xiang'er, did you hear it right, that's exactly what she said?" Wen Yao frowned, and her face was a little unpleasant.

Lu Xiang'er glanced at Chaoxia, nodded slightly, and said softly: "I also think that I heard it wrong, or that she is deceiving me." Can ......"

Thinking of the look on Zheng Fangfei's face when she said that, Lu Xiang'er sighed again. After meeting Wen Yao, Lu Xiang'er didn't want to hide this matter in her heart, so she couldn't help but say it. It turned out that Zheng Fangfei had a relationship with Princess Jingrou since the opening of Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, and she has been working hard to maintain this relationship.

I don't know what Princess Jingrou had in mind, but she really met Zheng Fangfei a few times. After that, he took Zheng Fangfei to parties on some public occasions. Of course, Zheng Fangfei's behavior has never been looked down upon in Princess Jingrou's circle. Zheng Fangfei's heart became more and more jealous, but she was helpless. After learning that Lu Xianger and Huo Qingsong were married, Zheng Fangfei was even more jealous of her luck.

Of course, in front of Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng at home, Zheng Fangfei did not say anything bad about Lu Xiang'er. She even said that Lu Xianger's current achievements were caused by Lu Hong's 'elbow turning outward'. Therefore, there are today's words of Mrs. Zheng, she obviously believed what Zheng Fangfei said. And Zheng Fangfei couldn't be angry with Lu Xiang'er, so she impulsively told Lu Xiang'er what she heard from Princess Jingrou.

Although Princess Jingrou would not be able to marry Huo Qingsong, she didn't want to watch Lu Xiang'er marry Huo Qingsong comfortably. Although there were many people who only married one wife in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were also many people who had three wives and four concubines. Like the ministers of the court, many of them will marry equal wives for some reason, or take concubines given by their elders. Princess Jingrou just wanted Huo Qingsong to have a few more wives or concubines before officially marrying Lu Xiang'er.

"Xiang'er, don't worry. I think this matter, you finally told Brother Huo. Wen Yao never imagined that a dignified princess would do such a thing. While she hated Princess Jingrou more and more in her heart, she was also worried about Lu Xiang'er.

Chaoxia listened to Wen Yao's words, nodded approvingly: "Xiang'er, what Yao'er said is not wrong. If Huo Qingsong didn't want to do something, I'm afraid it would be difficult to let that person get his wish. ”

"Then find an opportunity, I'll show him what he means." Lu Xiang'er nodded, but she made up her mind. Even if she cares about Huo Qingsong, but he also agrees with the three wives and four concubines in his bones, then she will not marry him. Lu Xiang'er is just a little woman, and she doesn't have the generosity of giving her beloved to other little ladies at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er was slightly relieved in her heart, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and ate the osmanthus cake on the plate. But when Lu Xiang'er put down the rest of the osmanthus cake, she found that Mrs. Li, who was sitting next to Lu Erniang, was looking straight at her. Mrs. Li is also a female general who has experienced a hundred battles, and her gaze is no more scorching than that of ordinary people, which makes Lu Xianger tremble and get closer to Chaoxia.

may have felt that her gaze frightened Lu Xiang'er, and Mrs. Li immediately withdrew her gaze, but her excitement became more and more intense. It wasn't until she lowered her head slightly and raised her head again that she returned to normal. However, when she was talking to Lu Erniang and Mrs. Wen, she still looked at Lu Xiang'er from time to time. And when she looked at the morning glow carefully at the same time, Mrs. Li's eyelids jumped, and even the hand holding the teacup trembled.

Sensing Mrs. Li's strange appearance, Mrs. Wen immediately asked out loud. Mrs. Li hurriedly waved her hand and said that she had nothing to do, but after turning around, she asked Lu Erniang directly: "Mrs. Song, I heard that your ancestral home is in Jiangnan, but I don't know where it is......
