Chapter Seventy-Three: Where We Don't Meet in Life (Part II)
"Xiang'er, tell me what's going on?" Lu Hong looked at Lu Xiang'er thinking and wondered what she thought.
In other words, it is the first time that Lu Hong has encountered such a complicated thing since he grew up so much. I thought that Lu Xianger's Piaoxiang Liquor Workshop still had soju, which attracted some ill-intentioned people. But the sudden appearance of this 'person' or 'group of people' made things suddenly complicated.
If 'that person' or 'that guy' is an enemy, then there must be a powerful enemy hidden behind it. If this person really fell in love with Piaoxiang Liquor Workshop and Shochu, it would be Lu Hong who had become a martial champion, and he might not be able to protect Lu Xiang'er.
If 'that person' or 'that group' is a friend, then Lu Hong is even more confused. Except for Song Yuan, the Lu family didn't know anyone who could have such great ability. And the blame is here, Song Yuan is lying on the bed at this time, it can't be him. Even if it was Song Yuan, it was impossible for him not to know Lu Hong or Lu Xiang'er.
What Lu Hong thought of, Lu Xiang'er naturally thought of it. But she, like Lu Hong, couldn't figure out what was going on. Hearing the sound of Xiao Er outside about to serve food, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly said: "Brother, I can't think of it, let's stop thinking about it for now." It's a blessing or a curse, and I can't hide it for long, so I'll let go of the Piaoxiang Distillery and the shochu. Anyway, our family has enough money. ”
"Hopefully it's just like you think." Lu Hong didn't want this incident to affect the mood of the brother and sister eating, so he followed Lu Xiang'er's words and ended the conversation. But in Lu Hong's heart, there was such a small pimple. If he couldn't figure it out, Lu Hong would definitely not be relieved to let Lu Xiang'er return to Qingshi County again.
After a hearty lunch, Lu Hong settled the account with Lu Xiang'er and prepared to go back. When the brother and sister came down the stairs, the door of a private room behind them was opened, and Xiao Er walked out of it. And there was a guest sitting in the room who was facing the door, and he happened to see the back of Lu Xiang'er's brother and sister going downstairs.
The gaze that fell on Lu Xiang'er's back made her feel something, so she turned her head habitually. Unexpectedly, she only saw Xiao Er of Hongyun Building and the door that had just closed. Lu Xiang'er didn't know anyone in Jiangling Mansion at all, so she didn't care about that gaze, and walked out of Hongyun Tower with Lu Hong.
"Brother, what are you looking at so fascinating?" Huo Qingqing found that Huo Qingsong looked out with a very focused expression, so he leaned over curiously and looked out the window as well.
Directly outside the window is a bustling street market. The market is full of stalls and shops, and the bluestone streets are full of pedestrians. Huo Qingqing looked left and right for a long time, and he didn't understand what Huo Qingsong was looking at. Just as Huo Qingqing was about to turn back, a dazzling light suddenly crossed her face, forcing her to close her eyes. When Huo Qingqing opened his eyes again, he habitually looked at the place where the light was emitting.
It turned out that it was a small stall that specialized in buying mirrors. In front of the stall, there was a little lady and a young man. It can be seen that it is the little lady who is shopping with the little lady. However, the little lady hadn't reached the end yet, but Huo Qingqing was very interested.
When the little lady and the young man bought a mirror and turned to leave. Huo Qingqing saw the appearance of the little lady very clearly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "What a beautiful beauty." ”
"Beauty? Where, where......" The fourth prince, who was sitting on a chair and leisurely drinking tea, immediately rushed to the window like the wind when he heard the 'beauty' and looked outside.
However, the four princes only saw one back. But even so, he still smiled, and couldn't stop nodding and said, "Just looking at a back makes me feel beautiful." Unexpectedly, the beauty of this Gangneung Mansion is really not inferior to Jingshi. ”
As he spoke, the smile on the face of the fourth prince became a little unpredictable. But Huo Qingqing looked contemptuous, and did not make any statement. turned to Huo Qingsong and asked, "Brother, you didn't tell me, what were you looking at just now?" ”
"What you just watched, I am." For Huo Qingqing, Huo Qingsong is always very patient. However, his answer was that Huo Qingqing was very surprised. Even the fourth prince moved to Huo Qingsong's side and looked at him curiously. It seems that Huo Qingsong will always look at him like this if he doesn't make it clear.
Huo Qingsong didn't care about the eyes of the four princes at all, but just said to Huo Qingqing: "That little lady is the original brewer of wine. If it weren't for her, all the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty would still think that grapes were poisonous. ”
"Ah, she is the little lady named Lu Xiang'er?" Huo Qingqing exclaimed, and hurriedly jumped up and ran out of the room. Huo Qingsong didn't stop her, but just motioned for Huo Bao to follow and protect Huo Qingqing.
The fourth prince waited for Huo Qingqing to leave the door before he whispered: "Aren't you afraid that Qingqing will catch up with that Lu Xiang'er and know about Song Guogong?" ”
"Don't be afraid, Qingqing, she can't catch up with Lu Xiang'er." Huo Qingsong thought of Lu Xiang'er's swift energy, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, seeing that the eyes of the four princes flashed slightly.
Just like Huo Qingsong said, Huo Qingqing soon came back with a depressed face. Huo Qingsong had to comfort her, promised to take her to Qingshi County to visit the Lu family in a few days, and promised to take her to visit Jiangling Mansion in the afternoon, Huo Qingqing regained his previous smile.
After lunch, the fourth prince felt a little tired, so he went back to the post house to rest. In the evening, there was also a meeting with the officials of Gangneung Prefecture, and the four princes had to maintain the face of the court and have full spirit. But Huo Qingqing didn't have to attend, so he took Huo Qingsong to Jiangling Mansion.
Huo Qingqing came to Jiangling Mansion for the first time, and Huo Qingsong took her to Huaping Mountain. The scenery of Hupyeongsan Mountain is beautiful, and it is one of the most beautiful mountains in Gangneung. There is also a Taiyuan Temple on the top of the mountain, and the incense burns continuously all day long. So, around this too far view, there are a lot of delicious and fun things to eat.
Huo Qingqing, who had never been out of the house a few times, was really attracted by this novel place. In almost every stall, she would stop, if it weren't for Huo Qingsong stopping her from time to time, Huo Bao would almost be unable to take it. Huo Qingqing was also a little embarrassed when he saw Huo Bao's appearance, so he reluctantly said that he could go back after shopping in Taiyuan Temple.
Huo Qingsong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Huo Qingqing say this. To be honest, he still knows her sister today, and likes to play so much. It seems that she is really detained in Jingshi, and she should take her out more in the future.
Just as Huo Qingqing took a turn in the Taiyuan Temple, preparing to return to the post house with Huo Qingsong. But in front of a booth that unsigned, I found a familiar person. Seeing the back of the little lady, Huo Qingqing didn't think much about it, and ran over.
"You're Lu Xiang'er, right?" Huo Qingqing smiled and looked at Lu Xiang'er, who was about the same height as her, in front of her.
Lu Xiang'er looked at the little lady in front of her, but she still smiled: "I'm Lu Xiang'er, I don't know ...... little lady."
"She is my sister Huo Qingqing, you can call her Qingqing." Huo Qingsong took a few steps forward, stood behind Huo Qingqing, and nodded to Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong were surprised when they saw Huo Qingsong appear in Jiangling Mansion. Lu Erniang had just gone to Jingshi to visit Song Yuan, who was seriously injured, and Huo Qingsong, who was Song Yuan's nephew, and Huo Qingqing, his niece, suddenly appeared in Jiangling Mansion, which was also too strange.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong glanced at each other, and did not ask immediately, but first stepped forward to greet the Huo brothers and sisters. When Lu Xiang'er just wanted to ask Huo Qingsong if Song Yuan's injury was true or false, Huo Qingqing pulled Lu Xiang'er and kept asking. Her innocence and innocence made Lu Xianger quickly have a good impression of her. Therefore, in the face of Huo Qingqing's various problems, Lu Xianger tried her best to tell the truth.
Huo Qingsong saw that Lu Hong was about to open his mouth several times, so he signaled to him, and then said to Lu Xiang'er: "Little lady Lu, my sister doesn't go out for a long time, and she doesn't know much about things outside. If there is anything reckless, please bear with the little lady. ”
Speaking of distance, Huo Qingsong took Huo Bao to the big tree next to him, and Lu Hong also followed quickly. And Lu Xiang'er, who stayed in place, was stunned before turning to Huo Qingqing. Just now, Huo Qingsong deliberately accentuated the half sentence of 'I don't know much about things outside', and Lu Xiang'er somewhat understood that there must be a deep meaning in it. So, in the subsequent chats with Huo Qingqing, Lu Xiang'er tried to ask as little or no questions as possible, and listened to Huo Qingqing most of the time.
On the other side, Lu Hong also understood Huo Qingsong's tone, and asked without opening his mouth. After seeing Huo Qingsong again, he chuckled and said: "They all say, 'Where don't we meet in life', the younger brother didn't believe it before, but now the younger brother doesn't believe it." ”
"I haven't seen him for three years, but Brother Hong is getting better and better at talking." Huo Qingsong's expression was not as cold as three years ago, and it was slightly relaxed. After glancing at Huo Qingqing, he turned his head and said to Lu Hong: "Qingqing doesn't know about my uncle, I hope Brother Hong won't tell her about it." She had a very good relationship with her uncle, and if she knew about it, she would be very sad. ”
Lu Hong was stunned when he heard this, and quickly understood something, and said strangely: "General Huo brought Ling Mei to Jiangling Mansion because he didn't want her to know that Mr. Song was injured. Could it be that Mr. Song's injuries are really that serious? ”
"It's not that serious. By the time we left Beijing, my uncle was already sober. It's just that the injuries on his body are too scary, and this matter is also related to Qingqing......" Huo Qingsong stopped talking about this and talked about something else. Lu Hong also understood that there were other hidden secrets here, so he didn't ask again.
Seeing the sun set in the west, Huo Qingsong shook his head slightly, and walked towards Huo Qingqing with warmth on his face. Seeing Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er's faces, it was as if they knew him for the first time. And Huo Qingsong's gentle tone made the brothers and sisters of the Lu family stare at him directly: "Qingqing, the sun is about to set." It's dark and the mountain road is not easy to walk, let's go down the mountain......"
