Chapter 174: A Token of Love
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 174 Chapter 174 Token of Love
General Huo was strictly taught by Song Beiqiao since he was a child, although he had a cold appearance and did not talk much. But when he started to do things, he was resolute. Since Lu Xiang'er nodded, Huo Qingsong told the nurse Zheng overnight, and personally went to the Guogong Mansion to report the matter to Song Beiqiao. On the second day, Huo Qingsong went to the door with the Zheng family and the matchmaker to carry out a series of matters before the official wedding.
Huo Qingsong, who has just been promoted to the general of the third grade, is the most dazzling figure in the Beijing Division. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one has been able to rise to the grade of the third grade at the age of twenty-one. It is conceivable that before the age of forty, Huo Qingsong may be more beautiful than the old general Huo Jing.
The most important thing is that the population of the general is simple, except for a nurse of Huo Qingqing and the Huo brothers and sisters, there are no too important figures. After any little lady marries Huo Qingsong, she can directly become the mistress of the General's Mansion. Compared with people of Huo Qingsong's age, he is undoubtedly the perfect gentleman in the eyes of the little lady in the boudoir. Therefore, General Huo's 'marriage' has not spread throughout the Beijing division in a day.
All of a sudden, all kinds of gossip flew all over the sky. Fortunately, General Huo's methods are good, and not many people know which little lady is married to him. Otherwise, Lu Xiang'er would not be able to get out of the Lu family in one step, and the little lady of the entire Jingshi could drown her with a mouthful of spit.
Lu Xianger also knew that Huo Qingsong was a hot person, and since the matchmaker came to the door, he has been hiding at home and never left the door of the Lu family. Speaking of which, Lu Xiang'er was the most idle day after coming to Beijing during this time. Because even if Lu Hong participates in the palace examination, Lu Xianger is ready to make a set of clothes for her brother herself.
Who would have thought that Huo Qingsong didn't know where he got the news. came to stand in front of Lu Xiang'er, just looked at her and didn't say a word. It was only after Lu Hong's eyes signaled that Lu Xianger understood that Huo Qingsong was eating. While being funny, Lu Xianger's heart was also a little throbbing. If Huo Qingsong didn't care too much about her, how could he make such a childlike move. Thinking that he had already made a marriage, it was not a discord to make a set of clothes for his fiancé, so Lu Xianger also agreed to make clothes for Huo Qingsong, and General Huo left with a refreshed and satisfied heart.
"Xiang'er, you're idle now." Huo Qingqing looked at Lu Xiang'er, who bowed her head seriously, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "You don't know, those little ladies will stay at my door every day." As soon as I showed up, they would 'bump into' me and ask me about my brother's fiancée. ”
Wen Yao, who was sitting on the side drinking tea and eating the pastries made by Lu Xiang'er herself, clapped her hands very elegantly and said with a smile: "Qingqing, don't say it's you, even I have met countless 'coincidences'." If I hadn't pulled my brother by my side every time, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of her here. ”
Lu Xiang'er didn't raise her head when she heard the tone of the two, but her tone was a little excited: "Qingqing, Sister Wen Yao, you said that if those little ladies knew, you all knew that I was the 'fiancée', would you line up and stare at you all day with complaining eyes?" ”
"Yes, definitely." Thinking of the possibility that Lu Xiang'er said, Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao glanced at each other, both of them shuddered, with some fear in their eyes.
Hearing the words of the two, Lu Xiang'er chuckled and raised her head. There was a strange light in her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said softly: "Compared to those little ladies, what I want to know most is what kind of mood Princess Jingrou is in now, and what actions she will make." ”
"Xiang'er, you did it on purpose...... Wen Yao was already very intelligent, and as soon as Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, she was stunned like Huo Qingqing. But after thinking of something, Wen Yao understood what Lu Xiang'er meant, and looked at her in surprise.
Huo Qingqing, who has a rough heart, doesn't know what Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao are fighting at all. looked at the two of them one after another, and then asked, "Xiang'er, Sister Wen Yao, what are you talking about?" ”
Wen Yao heard Huo Qingqing's inquiry, but did not answer her. It was only after glancing at Huo Qingqing in embarrassment that she asked a little anxiously: "Xiang'er, you, you will only agree because of your revenge on Princess Jingrou...... Yes? ”
Wen Yao said very implicitly, and her words were not very clear, but Lu Xiang'er understood it. Seeing Wen Yao's expression, Lu Xianger was very moved that she could make a close friend. But thinking of Wen Yao's misunderstanding of herself, Lu Xiang'er didn't want her to continue to misunderstand.
Glancing at Huo Qingqing, Lu Xiang'er sighed lightly: "Sister Yao'er, I admit that I am very angry at what Princess Jingrou has done. She hasn't made it yet, but I don't want to just put up with it. But even then, I won't be able to take revenge on her with my happiness. This is for a little lady, but it is a lifelong thing, and no matter how much I lose my mind, I will not do this. ”
"Then I'll be relieved." Wen Yao saw that Lu Xiang'er was not lying, so she nodded and didn't say anything more. Lu Xiang'er smiled, then picked up the clothes on the side and continued to sew. And Huo Qingqing looked at Wen Yao, and then at Wen Yao, and it took a while to understand what Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao were talking about.
Since the day the winery opened, Princess Jingrou has always wanted to ruin Lu Xiang'er's reputation. Although Lu Xiang'er has always had the secret help of Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong, Princess Jingrou has never succeeded. But Lu Xiang'er's resentment towards Princess Jingrou is getting bigger and bigger. The only purpose for Princess Jingrou to do so much was to make Huo Qingsong unable to marry Lu Xiang'er, but Lu Xiang'er was married to Huo Qingsong at this time, no wonder Wen Yao was suspicious.
Of course, Wen Yao was worried that Lu Xiang'er would be angry, so she agreed to marry Huo Qingsong in order to take revenge on Princess Jingrou. With Wen Yao's understanding of Lu Xiang'er, if she is allowed to be with someone she doesn't like, she will not be happy, and the person she marries will not be happy. It's not worth ruining the happiness of two people for the sake of one person who is not worthy.
After Huo Qingqing figured it out, he had a false alarm and broke out in a cold sweat. Huo Qingsong's psychology towards Lu Xiang'er, she is very clear as a younger sister. In case Lu Xiang'er married Huo Qingsong with her goal, let him know again. What will Huo Qingsong become, Huo Qingqing really doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to imagine.
Huo Qingqing, who was a little worried in her heart, looked at Lu Xiang'er from time to time, causing her to raise her head again. Seeing Huo Qingqing's expression, Lu Xiang'er smiled slightly: "Qingqing, since you and I met, have I ever lied to you?" ”
"Naturally, no." Huo Qingqing didn't know what Lu Xiang'er was going to say, but he thought about it seriously before nodding.
Seeing this, Lu Xiang'er continued: "Then what I just said didn't lie to you, you can rest assured." Besides, with a person like your brother, how can you not see if I am sincere. ”
"Xiang'er said yes." Huo Qingqing thought about it, if Huo Qingsong was not smart enough, how could he be a general of the third grade at the age of twenty-one. Taking a step back, with Huo Qingsong's background, appearance, and character, it seems that no little lady would be reluctant to marry him.
Wen Yao also figured it out, so she smiled and said that she was about to take the palace exam. Since Wen Song and Lu Hong met, he would follow Wen Yao to Lu's house every day to ask Lu Hong for advice or discussion. Of course, Li Wenhao is also indispensable here. The three of them are all people who participate in martial arts, and they have a lot of common topics.
Although Zheng Tong also wanted to come and communicate with Wen Song and Li Wenhao, he didn't look down on the Lu family and wouldn't come to the door. And when Zheng Baiyang knew that Lu Hong was also admitted to the palace examination, he always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Lu Hong and let him return to the Zheng family. However, Lu Hong never gave Zheng Baiyang a chance to talk to him, and Song Yuan always prevented Zheng Baiyang from disturbing the lives of Lu Hong's brothers and sisters, and Zheng Baiyang returned many times in vain. Maybe because the palace exam is about to start, he also has a lot to do, so he has a lot of rest.
In the evening, Chaoxia came back from the winery, and several young people of the same age had dinner at Lu's house before leaving. To Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er's surprise, when Li Wenhao left, he gave Chaoxia a long wooden box that he had brought before. Chaoxia didn't want to receive it, but when she saw that the box was a soft sword that could be stored at her waist, she suddenly fell in love with it. After Li Wenhao's persuasion and explanation, Chaoxia accepted this soft sword.
But when Xiao Wu was about to close the gate, Huo Qingsong suddenly appeared at the gate of the Lu family. Huo Qingsong, who was cold, came out of the palace and came directly to the Lu family. Lu Hong hurriedly asked Grandma Sun to give Huo Qingsong a hot meal, and asked Xiaocui to call Lu Xiang'er out.
After Lu Xianger and Huo Qingsong got married, Huo Qingsong came to the door even more openly. And every day I would go back to the General's Mansion after dinner at Lu's house, so that as soon as the nurse in the house saw Lu Xiang'er, she took her hand and watched it non-stop. It wasn't until Lu Xiang'er blushed that the nurse would talk about Huo Qingsong's childhood and Lu Xiang'er's attention.
When Lu Xiang'er entered the main room, she saw Huo Qingsong sitting at the table upright, and couldn't help but sneer: "Why are you here again?" What would it look like if you let your neighbors see it? ”
"I want to see you, so naturally I want to come." Huo Qingsong looked serious, as if he thought that it was a matter of course for him to come here. But Lu Xiang'er was angry and embarrassed by what Huo Qingsong said, but she was a little happy in her heart, which was really weird. Fortunately, there were only her and Huo Qingsong in this room, otherwise Lu Xiang'er would have blushed and gone back to her room.
After Huo Qingsong finished speaking, he saw that Lu Xiang'er didn't speak and didn't care, but he took something from his arms and gently put it on the table, and then said, "Look, do you like this style?" ”
"What is this?" Lu Xiang'er raised her head and saw two jade pendants on the table next to Huo Qingsong, and the style on them was the most popular nowadays. It's just that the patterns on the two jade pendants are opposite, and they are a pair at first glance. And when Lu Xiang'er held the jade in her hand, she felt that the jade made of these two jade pendants was not ordinary.
When Huo Qingsong saw Lu Xiang'er's expression, he understood that she liked it very much, and his tense face immediately relaxed. Looking at Lu Xiang'er's jade-like little hands, Huo Qingsong said softly: "When the Jiangnan counterinsurgency was victorious, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded the meritorious ministers, and rewarded me with an extremely rare piece of mutton fat white jade. I used this jade to ask the craftsmen in the palace to make two jade pendants as our 'love token'. Xiang'er, this Luo Ying will be settled by you personally. ”
