Chapter 200: Happy Events
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Chapter 200 Chapter 200 is full of happy events
After having lunch with Lu Xiang'er, Huo Qingsong left the Lu family and went to the Duwei Mansion. Although Lu Xiang'er was left alone in the Lu family, because of Huo Qingsong's company, she was not always in a daze like in the morning, but called Xiaocui and Grandma Sun to be female celebrities.
When Lu Xiang'er happened to be a small flower, Lu Hong entered the house with a spring breeze on his face. Lu Hong, who returned home, saw everyone with a different smile, and Xiaocui left the room in fright. And after Grandma Sun also went to the backyard, Lu Xianger deliberately looked out, thinking that spring had arrived.
"Sister, what kind of expression do you have, it's rare that my brother can't be happy?" Lu Hong knew Lu Xiang'er very well, and he knew what she was thinking when he saw her behavior.
Lu Xiang'er also knew that Lu Hong knew about herself, and she raised her eyebrows without concealing it, and said, "Brother, where are you happy, look at the corners of your mouth are grinning." β
"Little girl, why do you say that, brother." When Lu Hong heard what Lu Xiang'er said, he didn't get angry at all, and sat opposite Lu Xiang'er happily, and his mouth never closed.
Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Hong was still so happy, and she became more and more puzzled in her heart. Putting down the needle and thread in her hand, Lu Xiang'er probed her body and said softly: "Brother, if you encounter any happy events, say it to make your sister happy and happy for you." β
"Well, yes...... Don't tell you. Lu Hong just opened his mouth, but he thought of something and swallowed back the words in his mouth.
Lu Xiang'er rolled her eyes and guessed: "Is it that a lot of people are invited to the pre-palace competition tomorrow, and my brother thinks that he can show his skills and make a splash, so he is very happy?" β
"It's not." Lu Hong shook his head, but he got up and prepared to go out, not wanting Lu Xiang'er to guess again. With Lu Xiang'er's intelligence, Lu Hong was not sure if she would know the truth.
But Lu Xiang'er didn't solve the puzzle, how could she let Lu Hong leave. Seeing Lu Hong's movements, Lu Xiang'er said softly: "If you go out so early, and you don't take Xiao Wu with you, there is something secret." In my brother's opinion, what can be called a secret thing is naturally a meeting......"
"Xiang'er, my brother is afraid of you." Lu Hong didn't wait for Lu Xiang'er to say the rest of the words, so he quickly turned around and jumped in front of Lu Xiang'er, and said with a bitter face: "Yao'er said that she couldn't hide it from you, and blamed me for making mysterious jokes." One or two of you are smart women, but I still can't escape your eyes because I am both civil and military......"
Lu Hong's tone matched his expression, but it made Lu Xiang'er hold her stomach and laugh. Listening to Lu Xiang'er's laughter, Lu Hong also smiled with her because he had reached his goal. At the same time, Lu Hong also admired Wen Yao's words even more, if it weren't for her reminder, Lu Hong would have made the mistake of ignoring his sister when he was in Jiangling Mansion.
Thinking of that time, Lu Hong and He Ya left Lu Xiang'er behind, so that Lu Xiang'er was kidnapped. And today, in order to meet Wen Yao, Lu Hong threw Lu Xiang'er, who was in a bad mood, at home alone. Compared with He Ya, who has a purpose, Wen Yao pointed out Lu Hong's inappropriateness as soon as she saw her. As soon as the two compared, Lu Hong no longer had a shadow of He Ya in his heart, only Wen Yao.
After Lu Xiang'er laughed, she also understood Wen Yao's intentions, and had to sigh in her heart that God still favored Lu Hong. not only let Lu Hong get rid of the tormenting He Ya, but also sent him such a thoughtful, intelligent and virtuous little lady.
With such a Wen Yao by Lu Hong's side, even if Lu Xiang'er marries Huo Qingsong, she doesn't always have to worry about her brother who is a little upright and a little impulsive. I believe that Lu Erniang will also be very pleased to have such a knowledgeable daughter-in-law.
However, thinking of Wen Yao's family background, Lu Xianger was a little worried. Putting away the joke mentality, Lu Xiang'er asked cautiously: "Brother, looking at your appearance, are you and Sister Yao'er in love?" β
"Yes, of course...... Little girl, ask so much. Lu Hong was coldly asked by Lu Xiang'er, and he was about to nod. Thinking of Lu Xiang'er's own sister, Lu Hong immediately glared at her and expressed his dissatisfaction. But the joy in Lu Hong's eyes still made Lu Xiang'er confirm the inquiry just now.
Nodding, Lu Xiang'er continued to ask: "Brother, I also like Sister Yao'er very much. However, brother, do you have any confidence that the Wen family will promise Sister Yao'er to you? β
Hearing that Lu Xiang'er was worried, Lu Hong smiled slightly and said honestly: "If it was before, my brother would not dare to think about it." However, after tomorrow, my brother will definitely have the ability to propose to the Wen family. β
Lu Hong's tone was full of confidence, and Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but look sideways when she heard it. But in order for Lu Hong to maintain a calm attitude, Lu Xiang'er had to say: "Brother, there will be eight people to compete tomorrow, you still have to be careful." β
"Sister rest assured. From Brother Huo and his father, my brother already knew who the other seven were and what they were capable of. Lu Hong thought of tomorrow's competition in front of the palace, and a strong battle intent appeared in his eyes, and he said with confidence: "Except for Second Brother Li, Brother Wen, and Zheng Tong, the others will not be my opponents." β
"Zheng Tong?! His martial arts are also good? Lu Xiang'er thought of Zheng Tong, who had met a few times, and was a little surprised. She didn't believe that with those people in the Zheng Mansion, she could teach a Zheng Tong with good martial arts.
In fact, after Lu Hong heard about it just now, he was as suspicious as Lu Xiang'er. From Huo Qingsong, Lu Hong knew that Zheng Baiyang was very fond of Zheng Tong, but he also taught him very strictly. The martial arts that Zheng Tong learned were not only taught by Zheng Baiyang himself, but Zheng Baiyang also invited famous teachers everywhere to teach Zheng Tong. It can be said that Zheng Baiyang put a lot of thought into Zheng Tong. Zheng Tong's great achievements also benefited from Zheng Baiyang's hard work. Now that he can re-enter the palace and compete under the noses of His Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zheng Tong has added a lot of luster to the Zheng family.
Lu Hong, who met with Wen Yao today, even knew from Wen Yao that Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Tong's mother, had not waited for the palace examination to finish and praised her son. At a party at a mansion yesterday, Mrs. Zheng also took the initiative to talk to some unmarried ladies in the family, which annoyed those ladies very much.
At the party, the people who were most valued by Mrs. Zheng, who were not discouraged and worked hard, were Mrs. Wen and Mrs. He. Wen Yao of Wenfu and He Ya of He Mansion are both famous little ladies in the entire Jingshi's famous ladies. Thinking of what the Zheng family had done for Zheng Tong, Lu Hong, who was the son of Zheng Baiyang, didn't mind at all that it must be fake. Even if it is not for himself, Lu Hong will also feel cold and angry for Lu Erniang.
Lu Xiang'er saw the change in Lu Hong's face, so she preemptively said: "Brother, Zheng Tong must be defeated tomorrow." Let those people in the Zheng Mansion see that the elder brother is even better than Zheng Tong. β
Lu Xiang'er's tone shocked Lu Hong for a moment, but she also calmed down. Lu Hong's goal in taking the martial arts examination was not to defeat Zheng Tong, he was not worth it. Glancing at Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Xiang'er, my brother is just a momentary anger." Tomorrow's competition in front of the palace, my brother is going to the 'martial champion'. β
"What a big breath." As soon as Lu Hong's words fell, the curtain in the room was lifted, and Wen Song entered the room. didn't wait for Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong to go out, Li Wenhao and Chaoxia also walked in.
"Sister Chaoxia-" Lu Xiang'er saw Chaoxia, forgot about anyone, and didn't salute Wen Song and the others, so she ran to Chaoxia and threw herself into her arms. And when Lu Xiang'er saw Huo Qingsong, who walked in at the end, looking at herself with a playful look, Lu Xiang'er felt that something was wrong and quickly straightened up.
Seeing the smiling expressions on the faces of several people around her, Lu Xiang'er was slightly embarrassed, but she refused to let go of Chaoxia's hand. Chaoxia also sensed Lu Xiang'er's thoughts, and said softly: "Xiang'er, I have already told my grandfather that I will still live here at night and go to the palace during the day." β
"Really, great." This is the news that makes Lu Xianger the happiest. Lu Hong didn't expect Chaoxia to do this, so he was also very high-minded, and invited Huo Qingsong and a few people to sit down in the warm hall.
Lu Xiang'er, who was in a good mood, took Chaoxia's hand, looked around and felt that something was wrong, and said strangely: "Why don't you see Sister Yao'er, and Qingqing?" β
As soon as Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, she saw that Wen Song and Li Wenhao's faces were a little strange. Chaoxia covered her mouth and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Qingqing, that girl is too shy to come in." Yao'er was accompanying her, watching icicles in the yard. β
"Sister Chaoxia, what are Qingqing shy about?" Lu Xiang'er was stunned, it was very strange that Huo Qingqing would also be shy. Chaoxia smiled again and said, "You still have to ask Qingqing's brother." β
"Huh?" Lu Xiang'er heard what Chaoxia said, and looked at Huo Qingsong blankly. Huo Qingsong didn't want to laugh at Lu Xiang'er, glanced at Wen Song, and said calmly: "Today, Qingqing entered the palace and was given marriage by His Majesty. When autumn falls tomorrow, he will marry into the Wenfu. β
"Wenfu." Lu Xiang'er's gaze instantly moved to Wen Song, Wen Song was a little embarrassed by Lu Xiang'er, and nodded slightly. Lu Hong immediately interjected and shouted: "Brother Wen, you are so blessed to have such a fiancΓ©e? β
"Lu Hong, what's wrong with me, you have to make it clear." I don't know how long Huo Qingqing has been standing at the door, after listening to Lu Hong's words, he opened the curtain and entered the house with Wen Yao, and rushed towards Lu Hong with a fierce attitude.
may have felt Wen Song's gaze, Huo Qingqing's face was slightly red, and the momentum on his body was also weak. But when he thought of something again, Huo Qingqing looked at Wen Song, and said a little short of breath: "Wen, Wen Song, if you are not satisfied, you can tell me, I can go and talk to Niangniang." Anyway, this will has not yet been preached, and it can still be withdrawn. β
"Don't go, who said I'm not satisfied." Wen Song got up without thinking, but he couldn't hear Huo Qingqing's response for a long time. Just as Wen Song wanted to say something, he heard Wen Yao smile and say, "Qingqing, this time you are satisfied." I'll just say that my brother has affection for you. β
"Wen Yao, ...... you" Neither Wen Song nor the people present thought that this was Wen Yao's strategy to force Wen Song to express his position. Looking at Wen Song's flushed face, a little annoyed and angry, Lu Hong and Li Wenhao laughed very facelessly.
Wen Yao accompanied Huo Qingqing, who was blushing, to stand at the window, and Lu Xiang'er pulled Chaoxia to stand opposite to the two of them and pursed their lips, and even the corners of Huo Qingsong's mouth were slightly raised. The hall of the Lu family was once again filled with joy, overflowing the house little by little.
