Section 181 Chapter 181 Reward

Looking at Chaoxia's lonely look, Lu Xiang'er had a sour nose and felt very sad in her heart. But she couldn't think of any solution to the matter in front of her for the time being, and after hesitating for a long time, Lu Xiang'er said very far-fetchedly: "Sister Chaoxia, everything will be fine." ”

Chaoxia also understood that Lu Xiang'er's heart was not much better than herself, so in order not to let her bother so much, she raised her spirit and took the initiative to talk to Lu Xiang'er about the wine shop. However, the three of them all had something in their hearts, but they just said a word, and this dinner was very dull.

After the meal, Lu Xianger felt that her feet were a little swollen, so she wanted to go back to her room and lie down to rest. Chaoxia only knew that Lu Xiang'er had injured her foot at this time, and while blaming Lu Xiang'er for not telling her, she and Xiaocui helped Lu Xiang'er back to the West Cross Courtyard, ready to rub the injury for her. Lu Hong was bored sitting in the main room, and he got up at the same time, going to his room to think about 'things on his mind'.

The group walked out of the door, and immediately felt the coolness on their faces, only to find that at some point, the night sky had already fallen snowflakes. It was the end of October, and the weather was getting colder, but it was just the first snowfall. Looking at the fluttering snowflakes, Lu Xiang'er and the three of them forgot the troubles in their hearts for the time being, and they all stood at the door and didn't want to leave.

Back to the last time it snowed, it was in Qingshi County. At that time, so many things had not happened to the family, and life was very dull and happy. Unexpectedly, after this short year, the Lu family came to Jingshi from Jiangling and settled here. And, so much more. Although everything is not smooth, life still has to go on.

I don't know how long the three of them have been standing, but Lu Hong is the fastest to come back to his senses. He looked at Lu Xiang'er's feet and laughed softly: "Xiang'er, here Jingshi, snow is common." Don't let these snowflakes make your feet swollen and unable to walk, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Got it, brother, we'll go back." Lu Xiang'er smiled at Lu Hong, and then held Chaoxia with one hand, and Xiao Cui on the other side, and walked across the courtyard to the west.

Seeing Lu Xiang'er walk into the courtyard, Lu Hongcai sighed lightly: "A spring snow and a cold." This palace test is really a real test. Go back, Xiao Wu. ”

"Yes, Childe." Xiao Wu also heard the old man say what Lu Hong had just said, and he wrote down in his heart that when Lu Hong tried it, he would prepare some original clothes for him. And when Lu Hong strode away, Xiao Wu trotted all the way to follow.

At the same time, Lu Xiang'er, who was sitting in the room and was rubbed by Chaoxia with trauma medicine, also instructed Xiaocui to remind herself. On the day of Lu Hongdian's test, he must be dressed thicker, and Chaoxia also instructed him casually. It can be seen that although the Lu family is missing Lu Erniang, the three of Lu Xianger are slowly adapting.

In the house, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia talked softly; Outside, the snowflakes were still drifting unhurriedly. The brightly lit Tiandu, when welcoming the sun of the next day, has changed into an elegant silver coat, and there is a novelty everywhere.

Lu Xiang'er, who got up early, stood by the window and was standing in the main room looking at the silver outside. Lu Hong sat at the table and looked at the book in his hand, but Chaoxia was watching Granny Sun and Xiaocui become female celebrities. And at this moment, Xiao Wu, who was sweeping the yard outside, suddenly ran to the gate.

Seeing the two figures who had already entered the courtyard, Lu Xiang'er immediately said, "Grandma Sun, there are more people at home to eat today." I remember yesterday, it seems that I still bought some mutton, and we will eat a warm pot at noon. ”

"Just listen to the little lady, the old slave will prepare with Xiaocui." Grandma Sun didn't need to look to know who was coming, so she put away the female red in her hand and went to the backyard with Xiaocui. Just as the two of them closed the door to the backyard, the curtain on the main door had been lifted.

Before Huo Qingqing entered the house, a voice came in: "Xiang'er, my brother and cousin Wen will also come in a while, and I will ask Granny Sun to prepare more meals at noon." ”

Lu Hong, who was reading a book, heard this voice, so he put the book away angrily and muttered to himself: "I'm really a foodie, and I don't know if I can get married in the future." ”

"Lu Hong, don't think that your voice is small, I don't know what you're talking about me again." Huo Qingqing lifted his cloak and glared at Lu Hong, and Chaoxia hurriedly helped take off the cloak. And Wen Yao, who was helped by Lu Xiang'er at the same time, shook her head lightly, feeling very strange for the bickering between Huo Qingqing and Lu Hong.

Lu Hong glanced at Wen Yao a few times before shaking his head and said, "I dare to say you, I am talking about what I want Granny Sun to cook for the little lady Qingqing at noon." ”

"That's pretty much it." Huo Qingqing held his head high and walked quickly to the charcoal brazier. While roasting the fire, she smiled at Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, Sister Chaoxia, you don't know. If it hadn't snowed suddenly, His Majesty would have to enjoy the snow with the ladies in the palace. Sister Yao'er and I still have to enter the palace, so we can't come to see you yet. ”

Lu Xiang'er listened to Huo Qingqing's words, but her heart trembled, and she peeked towards Chaoxia. When Wen Yao, who was careful, saw this, she understood something, and immediately held Huo Qingqing's hand beside her, and said with a smile: "Qingqing, you haven't forgotten Niangniang's entrustment." ”

After being shaken vigorously by Wen Yao, Huo Qingqing remembered something, and his expression was immediately a little unnatural. But as soon as Wen Yao reminded her, Huo Qingqing immediately stood up, patted her head and said in annoyance: "Oh, if it wasn't for Sister Yao'er's reminder, I would have really forgotten." ”

As he spoke, Huo Qingqing ran to the door, took out a burden from under the cloak and walked to the table. Opening the baggage, Huo Qingqing took out another wooden box from it. While opening the box, Huo Qingqing said, "Xiang'er, do you remember the wine you gave to Niangniang last time?" ”

"You mean the wine that's been in storage for three years?" Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia, and Lu Hong glanced at each other, and then stepped forward together.

At this time, Huo Qingqing had already opened the wooden box, but inside was a pair of exquisite crested hairpins. Pushing the wooden box in front of Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, Huo Qingqing said with a smile: "Since Niangniang drank Xiang'er's wine, she won't be sleepless at night. Niangniang and His Majesty were very grateful to Xiang'er for her wine, and specially rewarded this pair of crested hairpins to Xiang'er and Sister Chaoxia. ...... to Lu Hong"

Speaking of this, Huo Qingqing looked at Lu Hong, but he didn't see that he would be as excited as he imagined, and said with some disappointment: "Your Majesty knows that Lu Hong doesn't have a 'table word' yet, so he gave the word 'Zibin'." My brother's epigram Changqing also has something to do with his name, and I really don't know what the word 'Zibin' means. ”

"'Zibin'......" Lu Hong silently muttered these two words, walked back to the chair just now and sat down, a little distracted.

Speaking of which, Lu Hong really didn't have any ups and downs in his heart about the reward he said to Huo Qingqing. But when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had given him the 'table word', Lu Hong's face changed a little. And when he heard the word 'Zibin', Lu Hong felt that these two words were not just spoken by His Majesty the Emperor.

Lu Hong's performance made Huo Qingqing feel bored, so he also sat next to Lu Xianger and Chaoxia and introduced the pair of 'crested hairpins' to the two. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were also very happy for Lu Hong in their hearts, but they didn't want to disturb Lu Hong, who was thinking, so they listened to Huo Qingqing's introduction.

Wen Yao, who was sitting next to Huo Qingqing, also saw that Lu Hong was thinking about his words. Recalling the words she heard from Concubine Song, Wen Yao's eyes lit up on Lu Hong's performance. However, Wen Yao soon felt that Chaoxia's gaze on the other side fell on her, and she turned her head to look at the crested hairpin on the table. However, Wen Yao didn't know what she wanted to see from Lu Hong, and would always look at him secretly.

“…… This pair of crested hairpins is the mother's beloved thing. I heard that in order to celebrate the birth of the eldest princess, His Majesty the Emperor specially found a craftsman from the craftsmanship to create it and gave it to Niangniang. From Huo Qingqing's expression, it can be seen that she is very envious of Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia for getting this pair of crested hairpins.

Lu Xiang'er became a little overwhelmed the more she listened, and said carefully: "Qingqing, Sister Yao'er, this crested hairpin is too valuable, I ...... it."

"Xiang'er, Niangniang has already been rewarded, and she won't take it back, so you can take it." Wen Yao suddenly interjected at this time and said, "Although Niangniang has never seen you and Sister Chaoxia, she has heard a lot about you from me and Qingqing. Niangniang doesn't know how much she appreciates the two of you who are not sisters but are sisters. ”

"In that case, then Chaoxia and I will accept it." Lu Xiang'er listened to Wen Yao's explanation, but saw the apology in Wen Yao's eyes. Moreover, after Wen Yao finished speaking, Lu Xiang'er also found that her eyes drifted to Chaoxia from time to time. Suddenly, Lu Xiang'er's heart was open and she understood something.

His Majesty the Emperor asked Concubine Song to choose a concubine for the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin, although it was an honor, but it also offended Zhao Chengmin. Come to think of it, from the mouths of Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing, Concubine Song may have understood Zhao Chengmin's heart for Chaoxia. may be in order not to make enemies with the four princes, Concubine Song deliberately took this opportunity to reward her with valuable things, showing that she was helpless.

A pair of crested hairpins are not valuable, and in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Song is grateful to Lu Xianger and treats her sisters equally. But only the parties who understand the inside story can understand Concubine Song's true intentions. Lu Xiang'er looked at the crested hairpin, but her eyes drifted to Chaoxia, and her face was a little embarrassed.

On the other side, Lu Hong's expression was also changing. From the beginning of the meditation and hard thinking, to the current sudden realization, he didn't know what happened to Lu Xiang'er at all. And Wen Yao, who was secretly paying attention to Lu Hong, was a little puzzled, some appreciated, and maybe some other emotions after seeing Lu Hong's face, but Chaoxia couldn't understand it.

No, Wen Yao's too much attention to Lu Hong is the only thing that makes Chaoxia feel happy in the past few days. Since Lu Hong and He Ya thoroughly explained in Wenhua's calligraphy, Chaoxia also hopes that Lu Hong will meet a little lady who is sincere to him again.

Now that she found Wen Yao's gaze, Chaoxia immediately thought that she was really a good little lady. If Lu Hong can achieve the top three results in the palace examination, the future will be bright, and Lu Hong and Wen Yao at that time are very compatible. Thinking about it, Chaoxia also looked at Lu Hong, thinking about whether to talk to him.
