[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Chapter 173 Chapter 173 Fate is destined

It's dark, and the capital of Beijing is still brightly lit, and people can't feel the cold of winter at all. After Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong came out of the hot pot shop, they didn't make a car, but walked to Lu's house on foot. This is a pair of beautiful people who are talented and beautiful, strolling under the clear night sky. But the expressions on the faces of the two ruined this sweet and warm atmosphere.

Lu Xiang'er's face was a little red, some of which may have been caused by soju, but the main thing was that she was 'suffocated'. The appearance when you want to laugh but don't dare to laugh is what Lu Xianger looks like now; Huo Qingsong's face is also red, some of which may be caused by soju, but mainly because he is 'angry'. has been wise all his life, but he made a big ugly appearance in front of the person he cares about the most, which is Huo Qingsong's mood and expression at this time.

It was in this strange atmosphere that the two eccentric people slowly walked to the gate of the Lu family, and their expressions did not change at all along the way. Standing at the gate, Lu Xiang'er gently pushed open the door, turned back to Huo Qingsong and said, "You go back." ”

"Hmm." Huo Qingsong snorted lightly but still didn't move, as if he was waiting for Lu Xiang'er to go in before leaving.

Lu Xiang'er also saw what Huo Qingsong meant, so she walked into the house. But before she closed the door, she smiled slyly at Huo Qingsong: "Huo Qingsong, what kind of matchmaker do you think I should find to come to the door?" ”

Huo Qingsong, who was originally expressionless, immediately 'collapsed' the expression on his face after hearing Lu Xiang'er's words. And when his eyes widened, Lu Xiang'er had already closed the door and walked away with a string of laughter like silver bells.

Hearing Lu Xiang'er's hearty laughter, Huo Qingsong didn't hear it anymore, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said to himself very proudly: "Laugh, I will find this 'hatred' back, just when you become my bride......"

With a soft smile, Huo Qingsong turned around and strode towards the opposite side of the street in the moonlight. There, there was a simple carriage parked, and the driver of the carriage was Huo Bao, whom Lu Xianger had not seen before. Although Huo Bao has also practiced martial arts since childhood, he can't bear to stay outside all the time. Seeing Huo Qingsong come over and get into the car, Huo Bao raised his whip very happily.

Besides, Lu Xiang'er entered the courtyard and walked directly to the main house where the lights were on. As soon as the thick curtain was opened, I felt the heat on my face, and Grandma Sun and Xiaocui, who were embroidering something, greeted her. Grandma Sun put the stove in Lu Xiang'er's arms, and Xiaocui helped Lu Xiang'er untie her cloak.

"Hey, the little lady has drunk, and the old woman is going to cook a bowl of decanting soup." Grandma Sun smelled the smell of wine on Lu Xiang'er's body and immediately walked to the backyard. And Xiao Cui, who had put the cloak, hurriedly followed, saying that she wanted to help raise the fire.

Chaoxia and Lu Hong, who were reading in the back room, also walked out quickly when they heard Grandma Sun's words. Chaoxia stepped forward to help Lu Xiang'er, afraid that she would get dizzy after drinking too much. But Lu Hong said suspiciously: "Xiang'er, who are you drinking with?" Didn't you say that Qingqing and Wen Xiaoniang accompanied A-Niang and went into the palace to talk to Concubine Song? ”

"yes, I wasn't with them." Lu Xiang'er smiled and let Chaoxia pull her to the back room to sit by the charcoal brazier.

Under the light, Lu Hong and Chaoxia could clearly see the flush on Lu Xiang'er's face, and her eyes were a little fluttering. In the hearts of the two, with Lu Xiang'er's amount of alcohol, she can drink to this extent, and she should not drink less. What the two of them didn't expect was that Lu Xiang'er's appearance was not drunk from drinking.

Seeing the expressions of Chaoxia and Lu Hong beside her, Lu Xiang'er smiled again and waved her hand: "Brother, Sister Chaoxia, I really didn't drink too much, don't worry." ”

"Only people who drink too much will say they haven't drunk too much. Tell me, who are you drinking with? Lu Hong poured Lu Xiang'er a cup of hot tea and asked again.

Lu Xiang'er took the hot tea, regardless of the anxious looks of the two, slowly took a sip of tea, and then said softly: "I ate with Huo Qingsong in a warm pot, and by the way, I drank a cup of soju, just a cup." ”

"Huh?" Lu Hong and Chaoxia immediately glanced at each other, thinking about how Lu Xiang'er could be with Huo Qingsong, hadn't she been avoiding Huo Qingsong. But then, when the two heard what Lu Xiang'er said, Lu Hong and Chaoxia's expressions could be described as shocked.

After Lu Xiang'er drank tea, she recalled Huo Qingsong's behavior at that time. Now that I think about it, Huo Qingsong must be the most concerned about her, otherwise how could she lose her temper. A warm smile hung on the corner of Lu Xiang'er's mouth, she looked up at Lu Hong and Chaoxia, and said softly: "I have decided, after the marriage, I will marry Huo Qingsong as his wife." ”

"Xiang'er, have you really decided?" Lu Erniang looked at Lu Xiang'er, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and had some complicated feelings in her heart, 'My family has a girl who has just grown up'.

Originally, when Lu Hong went to the Guogong Mansion to talk to her about this matter, Lu Erniang thought it was impossible. Because when Huo Qingsong came to propose, Lu Xianger refused at that time. But how long has it been, but Lu Xiang'er agreed. Lu Erniang didn't understand what Lu Xiang'er thought, but she was also happy for her. Among the young people Lu Erniang knows, Huo Qingsong can be said to be very outstanding.

Lu Erniang can also see that Huo Qingsong is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. The population in the General's Mansion is simple, and several of the older people are also very easy-going. And after Lu Xiang'er marries Huo Qingsong, she will be the mistress of the General's Mansion. Except for Huo Qingsong, no one would embarrass Lu Xiang'er. Therefore, the 'benefits' of Lu Xiang'er marrying Huo Qingsong still outweigh the 'disadvantages'.

Taking a step back, the relationship between Huo Qingsong and Song Yuan is like that of father and son. After Lu Xianger became Mrs. Huo, she could meet Lu Erniang often, which was the happiest thing for Lu Erniang. As for what kind of gossip there will be outside, Lu Erniang doesn't want to care so much.

And Song Yuan, who was sitting in Lu Hong's courtyard and chatting with Lu Hong, was extremely happy that Huo Qingsong had finally been able to see the moon. If it weren't for Lu Erniang also there, Song Yuan would definitely pull Lu Hong and go to Huo Qingsong to drink and get drunk. Huo Qingsong got married, and Song Yuan's guilt towards Song Wen and Huo Changfeng could also be reduced.

Back then, Song Wen was like a mother to Song Yuan. Even though Song Wen knew that she listened to Song Beiqiao's order and went to save Huo Changfeng, she might not be able to return, but she didn't tell Song Yuan. Instead, he left a suicide note, asking Song Yuan to take care of the young Huo Qingsong and Huo Qingqing.

If Song Beiqiao's order back then was just to eliminate the first emperor's suspicion of the Song family and the Huo family, he didn't expect that Huo Changfeng and Song Wen would never come back. He felt guilty about Huo Qingsong and Huo Qingqing, and took care of his brothers and sisters everywhere. Song Yuan was trying to make up for his 'responsibility' when he left Beijing angrily.

Huo Qingsong is in his twenties and has not yet married, Song Yuan has never said anything on the surface, but in his heart he is more anxious than Song Beiqiao. Especially Huo Qingsong was taught ruthlessly by Song Beiqiao because of the events of that year, and became a cold and unspeakable person. If it weren't for Song Beiqiao's physical discomfort, Song Yuan might have had another big quarrel with him. At this time, hearing that Lu Xiang'er finally nodded in agreement, Song Yuan's mood can be imagined.

Sitting in Lu Hong's room, Song Yuan recalled the past, talking about his childhood for a while, and talking about Huo Qingsong when he was born, and the order of words was still a little messy. Lu Hong also heard Song Yuan's excitement and didn't interject, just listened quietly, or added some tea for Song Yuan.

From what Song Yuan said, Lu Hong generally understood the old things of the Guogong Mansion and the General's Mansion. At the same time, it was also the first time he knew what kind of person Song Yuan was. Thinking that when he saw Song Yuan in Qianzhou, he might have just left Jingshi, and he rarely said a few words all day, and his expression was full of melancholy. It was as if something sad had been haunting him and never going away. Maybe Song Yuan has experienced too much, so he will refuse to give up marrying Lu Erniang as his wife.

Looking at Huo Qingsong again, he has some imagination with Song Yuan in this regard. After being rejected by Lu Xiang'er, he still refused to give up and still approached her desperately. Finally, Lu Xiang'er didn't escape, and still nodded. Maybe when they met in Qinghe Village, there was a connection between Lu Xianger and Huo Qingsong. Lu Hong remembered the scene when he saw Huo Qingsong for the first time, and couldn't help laughing, it was really fate.

"Xiang'er's 'fate' has arrived, where is my 'fate' with Sister Chaoxia?" Lu Hong knew very well that after Lu Xiang'er got married, Lu Erniang would definitely pay attention to him and Chaoxia.

Chaoxia is okay to say, looking at the appearance of the four princes Zhao Chengmin and Li Wenhao, they all seem to be serious. However, with Chaoxia's appearance and ability, she will not suffer if she marries anyone. And he, Lu Hong, has just broken away from his last relationship, what kind of person should he look for.

The most important thing for this little lady is to be sincere to Lu Hong. Lu Hongke can't stand being deceived anymore, he will go crazy. Moreover, this little lady must be filial to Lu Erniang, live in peace with Lu Xianger, and can't look down on Lu Hong's mother and sister. In the end, she also has to be able to endure the days of gathering less and leaving more. Lu Hong's wish is to enter the military camp and become a general who can fight and is good at fighting.

When Lu Hong was thinking about it, strings of laughter like silver bells intermittently reached the room. When Lu Hong heard this voice, he knew that it was Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao who were here. I thought that the two of them knew something, and they came to see Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xianger can have a few girlfriends like sisters, and Lu Hong is very happy for his sister.

Especially that Wen Yao, with her identity, she didn't look down on the Lu family at all, and her attitude towards Lu Xiang'er was very sincere. Speaking of which, Wen Yao is really a good little lady, easy-going, outstanding in learning, and not a little arrogant of everyone's little lady.

Suddenly, Lu Hong remembered Wen Yao's shy appearance, and couldn't help but move in his heart. Glancing at Song Yuan, who was still in his memory, Lu Hong lowered his head slightly. After a while, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered again: Is it really fate?
