"Mr. Song is here?!"

Lu Erniang thought that Song Yuan's nephew Huo Qingsong was here, and he would definitely accompany his nephew. Unexpectedly, Song Yuan still remembered what he had promised before, and he wanted to accompany Lu Hong to Jiangling Mansion to see the results. In the face of Song Yuan's enthusiasm, Lu Erniang was really at a loss.

I don't know why, seeing Song Yuan's smile, Lu Erniang suddenly had the idea of wanting to dodge. Lu Erniang, who has always been a man of action, immediately put it into action when she had this idea. After she instructed Lu Hong a few words, she didn't speak to Lu Xiang'er, so she took Zao'er to Qinghe Village with an ox cart.

Song Yuan saw Lu Erniang's dodge, and his expression was immediately a little silent, until he saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia coming out of the backyard, and some smiles appeared. This made Huo Qingsong, who was silent on the side, look puzzled from time to time, and finally appeared thoughtfully.

Chaoxia, who was following behind Lu Xiang'er, had been secretly paying attention to Huo Qingsong since she saw him. Therefore, Huo Qingsong's every move, including some subtle expressions, did not escape from Chaoxia's eyes. Similarly, Huo Qingsong, who was a little interested in Chaoxia, although he didn't find anything, felt that Chaoxia was paying attention to him.

While Chaoxia and Huo Qingsong were secretly paying attention to each other, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong were extremely interested in Song Yuan's arrival. In the past few days, the two brothers and sisters have been worried about the matter between Lu Erniang and Song Yuan, and they are worried that they can't find an opportunity to talk to him. Unexpectedly, Song Yuan himself sent it to the door, this is a rare opportunity.

The tacit understanding between the brother and sister is not ordinarily good, looking at Song Yuan's carriage, Lu Xiang'er immediately said to Song Yuan: "Mr. Song, your carriage is too small. Otherwise, let's rent a bigger carriage and go to Gangneung Province. ”

"Xiang'er is right, this carriage is a bit crowded with a few of us." Lu Hong pretended to nod his head, looking very much in agreement with Lu Xiang'er's statement.

Song Yuan didn't expect that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia would also go to Jiangling Mansion, and he also understood that his carriage was indeed a little small. However, if she rents a carriage as Lu Xiang'er said, if she lets Lu Erniang know, she will definitely be unhappy. Song Yuan is very aware of Lu Erniang's thrifty nature now, and he doesn't want to leave a bad impression in her heart. Suddenly, Song Yuan thought that Ye Feng also had a carriage like him, so he immediately called Xiao Wu to go to the Ye family to borrow it.

Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong saw that at this time, Song Yuan was still so careful, they couldn't help but look at each other, with a faint smile in their eyes. Huo Qingsong saw the expressions of the two brothers and sisters, but he didn't say anything, but he looked at him with some certainty.

When Xiao Wu borrowed the carriage, Lu Hong suddenly offered to sit in a carriage with Song Yuan, because he wanted to ask Song Yuan some questions about Luming Courtyard. Moreover, Lu Hong also asked Huo Qingsong to help him take care of his sister Lu Xianger along the way.

The cold Huo Qingsong looked at Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, and muttered slightly for a while before nodding in agreement. However, before Huo Qingsong got into the carriage, he glanced at Lu Hong. That look made Lu Hong feel like he was being seen through his mind, and his back was a little cold. However, for the sake of his loved ones, Lu Hong can't care so much.

After the five people got into the carriage, the two carriages slowly drove towards Gangneung Mansion one after the other. Xiao Wu drove a carriage carrying Song Yuan and Lu Hong; Huo Bao drove a carriage with Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia, and Huo Qingsong behind. By this time the weather was getting warmer, and the curtains of the carriage had been removed. Lu Xiang'er clearly saw what Lu Hong and Song Yuan were talking about after leaving Qingshi County.

Although Lu Xiang'er was behind, she could only see the background of Lu Hong and Song Yuan, and she couldn't see the expressions of the two clearly. But from some small actions that Song Yuan suddenly made, Lu Xiang'er was sure that Lu Hong was talking to him about Lu Erniang. Knowing that she couldn't hear anything, Lu Xiang'er still stared intently at the two people in the carriage in front of her, for fear of missing something.

As for Chaoxia, since she got into the carriage, she sat next to Lu Xiang'er, her eyelids drooping and motionless, very quiet. Lu Xiang'er thought that Chaoxia was so quiet because she didn't mean to be in the same car with Huo Qingsong, a stranger, so she didn't care about her. Huo Qingsong knew that Chaoxia was like this because he found out that he was observing her.

Facing two people who were also quiet and statue-like, Lu Xiang'er was really bored, so she could only give up the idea of chatting with Chaoxia and continue to stare at the car in front of her. But what Lu Xiang'er didn't know was that while she was observing others, others were also observing her. After Huo Qingsong found out about Chaoxia's actions, he set his eyes on Lu Xiang'er. Her attentive look made Huo Qingsong more and more interested.

Maybe it was because Lu Xiang'er was a few years older than Huo Qingsong's sister, or maybe it was because Lu Xiang'er at a young age could make such wine, Huo Qingsong suddenly had the idea of chatting with Lu Xiang'er. When this thought came to his mind, Huo Qingsong was immediately startled by himself, and his brows furrowed slightly.

After a while, Huo Qingsong's eyes moved to Lu Xiang'er's body, and he said in a low voice: "You are very worried about your brother? ”

"What? What did you say? Suddenly, the voice startled Lu Xiang'er, so she didn't hear what Huo Qingsong said, so she asked. However, Chaoxia secretly pulled Lu Xiang'er's sleeve, and Lu Xiang'er understood. The question just now made her a little rude, and Lu Xiang'er hurriedly smiled unnaturally at Huo Qingsong.

Huo Qingsong bowed slightly, indicating that he didn't care, but Lu Xiang'er's heart was still uncomfortable. Anyone who faces a person who has no expression at all will be unhappy. What's more, Lu Xiang'er has still seen Huo Qingsong, who used to smile and have many expressions. Now, Huo Qingsong has a statue-like face with a serious expression. In Lu Xiang'er's opinion, Huo Qingsong seemed to treat her as a suspicious character such as a fine work, with a sense of scrutiny.

That's right, it's that skeptical attitude. Lu Xiang'er suddenly understood why she felt uncomfortable all over her when she saw Huo Qingsong. Recalling the last time they sent wine to Song Yuan, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong didn't spend much time at Song's house. At that time, Lu Xiang'er didn't care about Lu Erniang and Song Yuan, but now that she thinks about it, she was uncomfortable because of Huo Qingsong's attitude, so she pulled Lu Hong home quickly.

Thinking of guessing from Song Yuan that Huo Qingsong came to Qingshi County's purpose, Lu Xiang'er glanced at Huo Qingsong in surprise, and secretly guessed that Huo Qingsong would not suspect that the three of them had other goals for Song Yuan. I have to say that Lu Xianger really guessed Huo Qingsong's idea.

After Huo Qingsong came to Qingshi County, he thought that Song Yuan would soon return to Beijing with him. Unexpectedly, Song Yuan didn't have the slightest intention of going back. Huo Qingsong didn't believe it at all, if Qingshi County didn't have people or things that Song Yuan was worried about, how could he not be willing to go back.

Through the observation of the past few days, Huo Qingsong slowly discovered the difference between Song Yuan and Lu Erniang's mother and son. Although Lu Erniang is a widow with a child, she lives a good life, which makes Huo Qingsong a little unbelievable. The wine made by Lu Xiang'er, as well as the intelligence she showed, made Huo Qingsong a little suspicious.

Maybe Huo Qingsong has gone through several years of war and has not yet come out of the battle of wits and courage with the rebels. His original good impression of Lu Xiang'er's brothers and sisters turned into suspicion of the three members of the Lu family, and Huo Qingsong really suspected that the three members of the Lu family had any purpose for Song Yuan.

Of course, there is also half of the reason for the suspicion of Asaka. From the moment Huo Qingsong saw Chaoxia, he could see that she was full of martial arts and was not below him. Moreover, others may not feel it, but Huo Qingsong, a general who has experienced the battlefield, can feel that Chaoxia has a bloody aura on her body, and she should have killed a lot of people. A person like Chaoxia is honestly staying in the Lu family, which in itself makes Huo Qingsong very suspicious. What's more, Chaoxia also gave Huo Qingsong a very familiar feeling.

After glancing at Chaoxia again, Huo Qingsong said to Lu Xiang'er what he had just asked. This time, as if to explain, he added: "I see that you have been looking at the carriage in front of you, so you asked." ”

"Oh, it's me, of course I care about my brother. After all, Luming Academy is not an ordinary academy, and my aunt and I both hope that my brother can successfully enter the academy to study. "Lu Xiang'er, who has already taken precautions in her heart, naturally will not say her true intentions.

Huo Qingsong nodded slightly and continued: "Luming Academy is not easy to enter in the eyes of outsiders, but it is actually not too difficult. And my uncle has never lied, he said that if Brother Hong can pass the exam of Luming Academy, he will definitely pass. By the way, I haven't thanked you for sending the shochu, it tastes stronger and more fragrant than all the sake I've ever drunk before. ”

"No thanks, I have a lot more at home. If you like it, I'll give you another jar when you come back today. Seeing Huo Qingsong's voice change, Lu Xiang'er immediately stopped paying attention to Lu Hong and Song Yuan, and dealt with Huo Qingsong wholeheartedly. Lu Xiang'er heard it, Huo Qingsong must be on the right topic next.

Sure enough, the corners of Huo Qingsong's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "I didn't expect you to make wine at such a young age." People think grapes are poisonous, but you can make wine. There is also the soju, which should be almost no wine in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the courage and intelligence of Little Lady Lu really impressed Huo. ”

As soon as Huo Qingsong finished saying this, Lu Xiang'er's heart 'chuckled', and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her back. Yes, wine and soju are just a thing for Lu Xianger to let her family live a worry-free life. But for the Great Zhou Dynasty, any of these things are shocking enough. Moreover, these two things are still in the hands of Lu Xiang'er, who is only ten years old, how can it not be doubted.

Although Lu Xiang'er told Lu Erniang and Lu Hong those reasons, she was not sure if Huo Qingsong in front of her would believe it. And from Huo Qingsong's tone, Lu Xiang'er was sure of one thing, he would not easily believe those reasons.
