Section 96 Chapter 96 Liao Wenbo's Thoughts

I have to say that the speed of riding in a carriage is much faster than walking. But the degree of comfort in the carriage is inversely proportional to its speed. Under normal circumstances, Lu Xianger would rather walk than be a carriage. Liao Wenbo also seemed to see Lu Xiang'er's dislike for carriages, and when he bought vinegar and was about to go back, he proposed to walk.

"If Aunt Zheng is not in a hurry to use vinegar, I want to take a walk, I don't know what the little lady thinks?" Liao Wenbo's gentle smile made Lu Xiang'er also smile back and nodded.

From the first time Lu Xianger saw Liao Wenbo, she always saw him with this smile. Even when Qingya fell into the water, Liao Wenbo was in a hurry, but his words and deeds never lost a trace of his demeanor. Sometimes, Lu Xianger will think about whether Liao Wenbo was born like this, or if he is wearing a mask.

Liao Wenbo seemed to notice Lu Xiang'er's gaze, and asked curiously, "Why does Little Lady Lu look at me like this?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Lu Xiang'er thought about asking about Qingya, but she couldn't just ask, so she continued: "I just look at Liao Gongzi always looking confident, and I'm just a little envious. It seems that in the face of anything, Liao Gongzi is so relaxed. ”

"Little lady Lu thinks too highly of me." Liao Wenbo smiled again, but there was no smile in this smile. Glancing at the carriage following behind, Liao Wenbo said softly: "Even His Majesty the Emperor has his troubles, let alone me, an ordinary man." ”

Liao Wenbo's tone was a little complicated, and there seemed to be many stories hidden in his words. However, Lu Xianger didn't intend to ask. She understands that a big family like the Liao family looks glamorous and beautiful on the surface, but she doesn't know what kind of dirt it will be inside. For ordinary people like Lu Xianger, it's better not to know so much. Moreover, she and Liao Wenbo are not familiar enough to share 'private affairs' with each other.

Lu Xiang'er smiled slightly, and did not continue the topic, but asked instead: "Young Master Liao, I believe you can see that my brother has a good impression of Sister Qingya. But my brother and I only know that Sister Qingya is Liao Gongzi's cousin, and we don't know anything else. I don't know if Liao Gongzi can ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiang'er didn't continue, but looked at Liao Wenbo and waited for his reaction. Liao Wenbo suddenly realized, first knocked his hand with his fan, and then said to himself: "I said that Qingya has always been weird recently, so that's the case." ”

"Liao Gongzi, what did you say?" Lu Xiang'er only heard a little, and then asked again. Liao Wenbo looked at Lu Xiang'er apologetically as if he was awakened, and then nodded and said, "Actually, Qingya is not my own cousin......"

Liao Wenbo and Lu Xiang'er walked while talking, and it took half an hour to return to Lu's house. found that Lu Xiang'er came back a little late, and Aunt Zheng understood that she had walked back. However, Aunt Zheng didn't expect that Liao Wenbo, the important son of Jiangling Mansion, would also walk back with Lu Xiang'er.

Glancing at Liao Wenbo, who was talking to Lu Hong, Aunt Zheng suddenly thought of something, came to Uncle Zheng's side, and said happily: "Old man, did you say that Liao Gongzi has taken a fancy to Xiang'er's little lady?" ”

"What?" Uncle Zheng, who was chopping vegetables, shook his hand and almost cut his hand, which made Aunt Zheng snort in fright. Uncle Zheng asked Aunt Zheng to check his hand, but he observed Liao Wenbo through the window. When he found out that Liao Wenbo was talking to Lu Hong, he peeked at Lu Xiang'er a few times, and Uncle Zheng's face was a little unsightly.

Aunt Zheng found Uncle Zheng's face, and said curiously: "What kind of expression are you, Gongzi Liao is the son of the Liao family, isn't it a good thing for him to fall in love with the little lady Xiang'er." ”

"A woman's opinion." Uncle Zheng snorted in a low voice, and then said in a deep voice: "The whole Jiangling Mansion knows what kind of person Liao Gongzi is, but the little lady Xiang'er is just an ordinary little lady. Even if Liao Gongzi likes her again, she can only be a 'concubine' when she enters the Liao family. If she doesn't have a wonderful son in the future, can't you imagine what awaits her? ”

In the end, Uncle Zheng's tone was already a little angry. But Aunt Zheng walked to the stove and stared blankly at the boiling hot water in the pot. I remember that she and Uncle Zheng, as well as the delicate and lovely little lady, are all from the same village. In the end, she and Uncle Zheng became husband and wife, and that person entered the Liao family. If it weren't for Liao Wenbo's son, that person would probably still live a life that is worse than death.

"Let's find a chance to talk to Miss Xiang'er." Uncle Zheng looked at Lu Xiang'er outside and sighed softly. After Aunt Zheng heard this, she nodded: "I know." I think the little lady Xiang'er is different from that person. ”

"It's different. However, Liao Gongzi is not the Liao Nanguo back then. Uncle Zheng turned his gaze to Liao Wenbo and looked at him for a while before lowering his head and continuing to chop vegetables.

It was getting dark, and Aunt Zheng put all the dishes on the table and exited the living room. Although there are only eight dishes on the table, they are all different dishes from the previous ones, and they are very appetizing. Liao Wenbo looked at the table of dishes, and the smile on his face faded.

Qingya seemed to understand Liao Wenbo's thoughts, so she whispered to Lu Hong: "Master Lu, my cousin and I are friends with you, Sister Xiang'er, and Sister Qingqing. Between friends, don't be so polite. With such a large table of dishes, a few of us couldn't eat them, and we made too much. ”

Although Qingya didn't say it explicitly, Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Huo Qingqing all heard that she thought that the Lu family should not be so extravagant as an ordinary family. Looking at Liao Wenbo's soothing face again, it was obvious that Qingya said what he thought in his heart.

"Liao Gongzi, Sister Qingya, you underestimate their brothers and sisters." Huo Qingqing laughed, and told Liao Wenbo and Qingya about Lu Xiang'er starting to help the family make money in Qinghe Village. Of course, Lu Xiang'er didn't tell Huo Qingqing about the soju, and she couldn't say it if she wanted to.

Before, Lu Xianger talked to Liao Wenbo and Qingya about her winemaking, but she didn't say it so clearly. Huo Qingqing said it at this time, but it was very unclear. Even Lu Xiang'er made a few toys at the beginning and said that she came to Jiangling Mansion to sell them.

"Ah, it turns out that Xiang'er has been so harmful. In this way, you are a rich businessman. Qingya looked at Lu Xiang'er with envy, and said to Lu Hong: "I believe that anyone who has such a sister is very proud." ”

"My cousin said yes. It is said that I, Liao Wenbo, am a genius and a young man, but in front of Little Lady Lu, I am willing to bow down. Liao Wenbo shook his head with emotion.

Lu Xiang'er didn't want everyone's eyes to be on herself, so as not to expose the matter of soju, so she immediately smiled: "Liao Gongzi is too modest, although I will dislike some money, but I can't enter Luming Academy, and I can't be called a talented man with 'high eight buckets'." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, several people were immediately amused. The topic also revolved around Luming Academy, as well as this imperial examination. Speaking of tomorrow's martial arts test, Lu Hong is full of confidence. How to say it, he has also practiced martial arts for many years, and after Huo Qingsong's guidance and Chaoxia's special training, the 'questions' of those martial arts exams are much simpler than those of the literary exam.

Talking and laughing, everyone finished dinner. After a few more people drank a pot of tea, Liao Wenbo and Qingya got up to say goodbye and leave. During this period, Qingya and Lu Hong went out for a while, although it was only half an hour, Lu Xianger and Liao Wenbo also understood that the two went to meet in private again.

Obviously, the moment of meeting with Qingya made Lu Hong very happy. Even helped Huo Qingqing into the room, and was teased by Huo Qingqing for a few words, Lu Hong didn't fight back. Moreover, after coming out of Huo Qingqing's room, the smile on his face never disappeared. He also promised Lu Xiang'er that he would definitely pass the martial arts test tomorrow. Seeing this scene, Lu Xiang'er was a little relieved that Lu Hong could go to the martial arts test in a good state tomorrow. But what is more is Lu Xianger's worry about Lu Hong.

Lu Xianger has not experienced it, but she has seen and heard of it: the deeper the affection, the greater the damage. Looking at it now, Lu Hong's infatuation with Qingya can be described as infatuated. I don't know what means Qingya used to make Lu Hong, who is very strong-minded, like this.

I wanted to wait for Asaka to come back and think of a way with her. But when it was really dark, there was no trace of the morning glow. Lu Hong's matter, Lu Xiang'er didn't know how to solve it, and Chaoxia didn't know what was going on. For a moment, Lu Xiang'er suddenly felt powerless. Thinking about these two things, Lu Xiang'er really wanted Lu Erniang to be by her side at this time, and someone could give her ideas.

After a few laps around the room, Lu Xiang'er suddenly thought of Huo Qingsong, the general with a cold face. Not only can he get Qingya's news from him, maybe he knows where Asaka has gone. Looking at the sky outside, Lu Xiang'er secretly made up her mind. If Chaoxia hasn't come back after dawn, she will take advantage of Lu Hong to participate in the martial arts test and go to Zhichong Mansion again. Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er felt slightly relieved, and went back to bed to prepare for sleep.

But just then, there was a knock on her door. Lu Xiang'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the door to open the door: "Sister Chaoxia, you ...... Aunt Zheng? ”

"Little lady, I didn't delay you from sleeping." Aunt Zheng didn't care about the words Lu Xiang'er said at the beginning because she had something in her heart. Lu Xiang'er was stunned by Aunt Zheng's nervous appearance, so she let out the door and let Aunt Zheng into the house: "Aunt Zheng, you haven't rested so late, is there something wrong?" ”

Aunt Zheng looked at Lu Xiang'er and hesitated for a long time before nodding lightly. When Lu Xiang'er saw Aunt Zheng's appearance, she was very puzzled. However, she didn't ask, but gave Aunt Zheng a little time to sort out her thoughts.

Half an hour later, Aunt Zheng walked out of Lu Xiang'er's room with a relaxed face. Lu Xiang'er, who was sitting on her bed, smiled bitterly at Fang Liang: "Why do all people think that I will like Liao Wenbo?" ”
