123 Chapter 123 Family Reunion (I)
"Xiang'er, it's Mr. Song......"
Chaoxia's voice was very soft, and she seemed to be afraid that she would disturb something if she was too loud. But Lu Xiang'er was still shocked, not disturbed, shocked. Chaoxia thought that Song Yuan was coming, who would be in the carriage, how could Lu Xiang'er not think of it. Looking at the carriage getting closer and closer, Lu Xiang'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Huo Bao, who was driving, obviously also saw that the person coming from the city gate was Song Yuan, and he stopped the carriage very cleverly. After that, Huo Bao jumped out of the carriage, took out a small stool and set it up, and waved his hand to the carriage behind. When Lu Xiang'er was helped out of the carriage by Chaoxia, Lu Hong, who was behind, had already gotten the news and jumped out of the carriage and walked over quickly.
In the eyes of the three of them, the carriage finally came to a close distance and slowly stopped. Song Yuan didn't wait for his mount to stop, he jumped off and walked quickly to the carriage and lifted the curtain himself. At this time, the people inside appeared in the sight of Lu Xiang'er and the others.
"Xiang'er, Brother Hong, Chaoxia......" Lu Erniang, who was helped out of the carriage by Song Yuan, saw the three of them and stumbled over. And when Lu Xiang'er saw Lu Erniang coming on, she also choked up and ran over. Chaoxia, who was standing next to the carriage and did not move, had a little sparkle in her eyes, and Lu Hong's eyes were also a little red, watching the mother and daughter hugging their heads and crying.
Song Yuan seemed to want to step forward to persuade him, but he felt that he couldn't interject, so he came to Huo Qingsong and stood with his nephew to talk. Huo Qingsong obviously didn't give Song Yuan face, and was very reluctant to deal with him, but just looked at Lu Xiang'er, who was crying and laughing, and his brows were slightly condensed.
Huo Qingsong's abnormal behavior immediately aroused Song Yuan's interest. He looked at Huo Qingsong carefully, and then at the person Huo Qingsong was staring at, and a trace of surprise immediately appeared in his heart. Song Yuan can also be regarded as a 'person who has come over', so he naturally understands the affection between men and women. However, Song Yuan was also very strange, Lu Xiang'er was only fourteen years old, how could his nephew like such a little lady.
Thinking that he had to find a time to talk to Huo Qingsong, it was true that he was thinking wrong, Song Yuan walked in the direction of Lu Hong again. Lu Hong had already met with Lu Erniang, and was standing aside and smiling at her pulling Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia to ask for warmth. Finding that Song Yuan had come to him, Lu Hong hurriedly saluted Song Yuan.
"I've seen Grandpa Guo." As soon as Lu Hong finished speaking, he saw that Song Yuan's face was a little ugly, and he was a little puzzled. Song Yuan saw that Lu Hong didn't understand, so he said bluntly: "Brother Hong, no matter what kind of person I am in Jingshi, in front of you, I am just 'Mr. Song'." ”
Song Yuan accentuated his tone on top of the three words 'Mr. Song', which made Lu Hong understand, and immediately smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Song, to be honest, I am really not used to calling you Grandpa Guo." ”
"You kid, when did you become flamboyant? But when you meet the little lady you like, you have changed your character. "Mr. Song smiled, and just wanted to say, 'The little ladies of Jingshi are no worse than those in Jiangling Mansion', when he saw Lu Hong's face suddenly change, and his eyes were full of gloom.
Song Yuan was strange in his heart, and just wanted to ask, Lu Xiang'er, who was talking to Lu Erniang, heard Song Yuan's words, so she immediately ran over and inserted herself between Lu Hong and Song Yuan. Blocking Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er smiled at Song Yuan: "Mr. Song, your injuries are healed." Xiang'er Ke brought the soju that has been hidden for three years, I wonder if you have that mouthful to drink? ”
"Three years of soju? Of course I'm blessed, give it to me now, I don't know how much more I'll get when I get into the city. Hearing the soju, Song Yuan's eyes immediately lit up. Lu Xiang'er covered her mouth and smiled, and walked to the carriage behind, and Song Yuan naturally hurriedly followed.
"Xiang'er, why did you bring all the soju?" Lu Erniang didn't know that a lot of things had happened in Jiangling Mansion, and she was very surprised that Lu Xiang'er actually brought the 'big wooden barrel' for distilling soju. However, when she walked towards Lu Xiang'er and passed in front of Lu Hong, she glanced at Lu Hong.
Lu Hong felt Lu Erniang's gaze, and his heart sank. From Lu Erniang's gaze, Lu Hong understood that she had seen everything just now. I'm afraid that just waiting to settle down, Lu Erniang will have a good chat with his son. Thinking of what happened to Lu Xiang'er in Jiangling Mansion, Lu Hong felt a dilemma in his heart. Originally, he didn't plan to tell Lu Erniang, so as to save her from worrying and afraid. Unexpectedly, Lu Erniang saw something as soon as he arrived in Beijing.
"Brother Hong, it's all over, and it's nothing to tell your stepmother. Even if you don't say it now, she'll know sooner or later. Seeing Lu Hong's embarrassment, Chaoxia walked to Lu Hong's side, looked at Lu Xiang'er over there, and spoke to him softly.
Seeing Song Yuan holding two large jars of soju with a happy face, he carefully instructed his followers to put it away. Lu Hong nodded and sighed lightly: "Sister Chaoxia, I also know that I can't hide it for long." can be A-Niang's temperament, if she knew those things, I'm afraid she would blame herself for a long time. ”
Thinking of Lu Erniang's temperament, Chaoxia was silent. After a while, she whispered: "Then there is no way, fortunately, you and Xiang'er are safe, and the stepmother should want to open it soon." ”
"I hope so." Lu Hong watched Lu Xiang'er take Lu Erniang's arm and come over, and immediately stopped talking to Chaoxia.
Lu Erniang glanced at it again, and Lu Hong, who seemed to have changed a lot, said with great relief: "What are you talking to Chaoxia, your face seems to be a little bad." ”
"Auntie, we didn't say anything. I was just a little hungry and asked Chaoxia if she had any dry food to eat. Lu Hong snorted, but secretly glanced at Lu Xiang'er.
Lu Xiang'er understood what Lu Hong meant, and immediately took Lu Erniang's hand and said coquettishly: "Auntie, Xiang'er hasn't eaten the dishes made by Auntie for half a year." Now that I think about it, Xiang'er's stomach is screaming. ”
"Seeing that your brothers and sisters are so pitiful, A-Niang will let you have a good meal today." Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er's small movements, how could Lu Erniang not see it. Although she felt that the brother and sister had something to hide from themselves, they were slapped by Lu Xiang'er a little, and Lu Erniang decided to let the two go for the time being.
Song Yuan, who was on the side, heard Lu Erniang's words, and immediately came up and said with a smile: "Erniang, I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time." It's not as good as ......."
"Why don't you go back to the Gongfu first, wait for Xiang'er, Chaoxia and Brother Hong have a good night's rest, and tomorrow I will take them to meet the grandfather of the old country." Lu Erniang didn't look at Song Yuan, so she took Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's hands and walked towards her carriage.
Song Yuan touched his nose, without a trace of embarrassment or annoyance, as if he was used to it. Seeing the banter in Lu Hong's eyes, Song Yuan couldn't hold his face a little, so he coughed: "Brother Hong, you can rest well today, and I will go to see your brothers and sisters tomorrow, and by the way, I will take you to visit Jingshi." ”
After saying that, Song Yuan turned around and slowly walked towards his mount with his hands behind his back. When Lu Hong saw Song Yuan's appearance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. To be honest, now that he is watching Song Yuan, Lu Hong feels that Lu Erniang should be very happy with him.
Huo Qingsong saw that Lu Erniang had already taken Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia into the carriage, so he came to Lu Hong's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just said so much, but I forgot to tell you the last sentence." As long as my uncle is here, there is really no one in this capital who dares to offend you. But you have to be prepared to listen to the gossip. Sometimes, those words can be more harmful than swords and arrows. ”
"Brother Huo, after passing through Jiangling Mansion, I figured it out. You should cherish the people around you, as long as you live a happy life, no matter what others say. Lu Hong looked at the unknown Jingshi, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face. In many days, this smile is probably the first time that Lu Hong has laughed sincerely.
Huo Qingsong's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something. Soon, there was a trace of warmth in his eyes that Lu Hong did not perceive, and he nodded: "Brother Hong, you should talk to your uncle about this, and I think I will definitely get his appreciation." That's what he's been doing all along. ”
Lu Hong heard that Huo Qingsong was speaking for Song Yuan, so he smiled and said, "Brother Huo, you don't know, I learned these ideas from Mr. Song. ”
"Oh, that's my mouth." Huo Qingsong looked at Song Yuan calling himself, patted Lu Hong's shoulder again, and said, "Tomorrow, my uncle and I will go to see you, and I will enter the city." ”
As he spoke, Huo Qingsong got into his modified carriage and followed Mr. Song Yuan into the city. Lu Hong returned to the carriage he was sitting in, followed Lu Erniang, and slowly drove into the capital. Behind the two carriages, there was also the carriage loaded with miscellaneous items.
Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia sat in Lu Erniang's carriage and asked her about her life during this time. But Lu Hong leaned on the carriage, thinking about the next test. A few people who have just arrived in Jingshi have forgotten to see the scenery of Jingshi. It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Lu Xiang'er remembered that she had forgotten to enjoy the night view of Jingshi. However, thinking that there will be time in the future, Lu Xianger is not too pity.
When the three carriages just stopped, Zao'er, who came to Beijing with Lu Erniang, opened the gate and ran out. Seeing Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, Zao'er's eyes turned a little red again: "Little lady, little lady Chaoxia, you are here." After the lady received the news, she looked forward to you coming every day. ”
"Okay, Zao'er, go and call Xiao Wu to come out to help." Lu Erniang didn't seem to want Zao'er to say too much, so she hurriedly told her to do things. Zao'er wiped her eyes and tears, and shouted Xiao Wu out. The two of them, plus the little guy who drove for Lu Erniang, quickly took all the items on the third carriage into the yard.
When Lu Hong and the carriage settled the money, Lu Erniang also sent the little guy away with the carriage. But Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia have been standing at the door, waiting for the mother and son. Lu Erniang and Lu Hong walked over, and a family of four walked into the courtyard together.
