A few days later, Jiang Fu

After a few days of cultivation, Liluo made a pair of lanterns for everyone according to the way of weaving lanterns on the books sent by Ning Yi, with thatched hut-shaped ones, pumpkin-shaped ones, and rabbit-shaped ones.

The evening glow shone down, the girl's hair was scattered, and the side face was pregnant with a unique glow, and her slender hands were slowly braided with bamboo weaving, so that those who saw it couldn't help but feel that their whole body was healed.

After the pear fell well, the first thing that came to mind was Ning Yu and Shen Xitong, during this time she was sick, Ning Yu was the first person to come to see her, and she also sent so many gifts to herself, thinking that Ning Yu was the daughter of a military general, she chose a pumpkin-shaped lamp for her.

Shen Xitong hadn't seen it for a few days, did she encounter something, she was a little worried in her heart, so she chose her favorite rabbit lantern, and after choosing, she set off towards Ning Mansion and Shen Mansion.

Ning Yu saw that it was the pear that fell, and she was extremely happy in her heart, so she pulled her to her yard, and said embarrassedly after speaking, "Compared with your yard, my small yard is bare, don't you mind." ”

Liluo was still thinking about whether Ning Yu was modest, but after walking in, he found that there were indeed some, uh, how to say it, bald.

In the huge yard, there is a plane tree that stands side by side with two trees, and this plane tree that is hugged together grows luxuriantly, covering the shade of half of the yard, and on the other side of the yard, there are not stone tables and stone benches used by ordinary women, but piles for practice, and a wooden shelf, which is full of various weapons.

is worthy of being the daughter of a military general, Liluo can only sigh secretly in her heart.

There was also a small courtyard behind Ning Yu's yard, in which some green bamboo was still planted, and some tables and stools were placed, Ning Yu hurriedly asked the maid to come and serve tea.

After the tea came up, Ning Yu poured a cup for Liluo, and then poured it and said, "I heard that the second brother said that you like to drink white tea, and it was specially prepared for you, try it." ”

The tea is made of the best mountain spring water, and the tea is made of the best white peony, the taste is sweet and mellow, and there is an obvious freshness when you take a sip, and Liluo said with a smile, "Sister Ning Yu has a heart." ”

After finishing speaking, she asked Zimi to bring the bamboo lantern she made, and handed it to Ning Yu with a smile, "I have nothing to do at home these days, so I simply looked at the books you brought, one of which is dedicated to making lanterns, and I brought two pairs to you." ”

Ning Yu was amazed after seeing it, there is a pair of thatched houses, through the lamp to seem to see the shape of bamboo, the layout is extremely delicate and elegant, the other pair is the shape of a pumpkin, the outside is hollowed, the inside is like a bird's nest, all made of bamboo, you can see the exquisiteness of the art.

This doesn't look like it's been learned and done at all, but it looks like a craft that has been done for several years, "Liluo, your craftsmanship is too exquisite, tell me honestly, which pair are you going to give to my second brother." ”

Liluo replied with a little twist, "Thank you brother and sister for taking care of me during this time, I got better so quickly, Sister Ning can stay whichever one she likes." ”

Ning Yu suddenly walked behind Liluo, stretched his head over and said, "I just tried to test you, I thought it was all given to me, but I didn't expect it to really be my second brother." ”

Embarrassment, Liluo blushed when she heard it, and hurriedly said, "Sister Ning Yu will laugh at me again and I'll leave." ”

Ning Yu sat down and put one hand on his cheek, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, I have to urge my second brother to hurry up and propose marriage, and bring you to our Ning family as soon as possible, don't worry, with me, no one in the Ning family dares to bully you." Ning Yu looked ambitious.

Liluo said embarrassedly, "Don't talk to Sister Ning Yu, I'll go." Then he got up.

Ning Yu hurriedly took Liluo's hand and said, "Okay, okay, no kidding, Liluo, I have something to tell you." ”

"Huh?" Seeing Ning Yu's expression, Liluo knew that Ning Yu had something on her mind, so she asked the maids to go around for a while, leaving two people to guard outside, and she waited patiently for Ning Yu to speak.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor will hold a banquet, and the ministers will go there." Ning Yu said.

Riro nodded, she and her father seemed to be on the list.

"When the time comes," Ning Yu showed a rare hint of twist, "Prince Jinglan may ask the emperor for marriage." ”

"You and the prince?" Pear's apricot eyes widened.

"Well," Ning Yu nodded and said, "That's right, Prince Jinglan doesn't have any backers now, our Ning family is the most suitable, my father holds one-third of the military power of our dynasty, and our grandfather is the founding noble, so,"

"These are what Prince Jinglan told you?" According to Ning Yu's temperament, Liluo didn't believe that she would accept this kind of political marriage.

"He confessed very frankly, he told me that day in Liuxian Tower that he needed this political marriage." Ning Yu nodded.

Seeing Ning Yu's attitude, Liluo knew that if she hadn't been moved by Jing Lan that day, her attitude towards speaking today would never be like this.

Seeing that Liluo didn't speak, Ning Yu continued, "If Jinglan was beating around the bush, I would definitely refuse in person, he was too honest and confessed everything to me, even the matter between him and Han Shuyao, I, my mind is actually very messy now, and I don't know how to choose." ”

"Prince Jinglan and Han Shuyao?" Liluo suddenly remembered what Shen Xitong told her in the Yuexi Pavilion that day, Han Shuyao's desire to be the crown princess is probably not groundless.

Ning Yu nodded, "I returned to Jingshi on the Midyear Festival, and that night I went to hang a wishing tape on the tree, and I happened to bump into it, and Jinglan refused some of Han Shuyao's words. Liluo, you know, I have lived in the army for many years, and some of my thinking is not the same as ordinary women, but I feel that as the prince, after knowing that he can't marry Han Shuyao, he can find her to make it clear in person, which makes me admire, because he can give her an empty promise or simply drag this matter, and tell her that after he marries the crown princess, he will accept her as a side concubine. ”

Liluo always has a sense of crisis that is different from ordinary people, "What if it happens in the future?" ”

"I believe he won't, if he still wants to marry Han Shuyao in the end, I can only say that it is also my life." Ning Yu said in a low voice, "Actually, to be honest, this political marriage is a win-win ending, Jinglan needs us as a backing, our Ning family also needs a reliable backer in the court, my father is getting old, and the second brother's mind is not on the career, if I don't do something, our Ning family may only be prosperous for two generations." ”

Liluo looked at Ning Yu and said, "Putting these aside, what do you think in your own heart, if you fall in love with Prince Jinglan, it is inevitable that you will be injured in the future, he is the future emperor, what does this mean, do you know it in your heart?" She likes Ning Yu, a girl, and really doesn't want her to be unhappy in the future.

"I know, but my heart has already been tempted, the moment he lifted the mask in front of me, I was tempted, I couldn't help thinking about him, except for him, I may not like any man in the world, you say, what should I do?" Ning Yu's tone suddenly trembled slightly, "I don't like his identity either, and I don't want him to give up the most precious prosperity and freedom in the world because of him, but Liluo, I still miss him." ”

Liluo walked over and hugged her gently, "Sister Ningyu, I don't think you should make a decision in a hurry, you try to contact the prince a few more times, you go horseback riding together, go drinking together, go shopping together, climb mountains, and enjoy poetry and painting together, if he cares about you, he will definitely find time to go with you, after this period of time, you will make a decision in your heart, the prosperity and freedom of the world are there, if you really like it, you can also come out of that circle and have them, no matter what decision you make in the end, Liluo will support you." ”

After Ning Yu heard it, he nodded, touched Liluo's head with some relief, and the two smiled at each other.

After Liluo said goodbye, she went to the Shen Mansion, she hadn't seen Cousin Xitong for a while, and she missed her a little.

After arriving at Xitong's small courtyard, I saw Shen Xitong's sad face.

"Who doesn't have long eyes to make our Miss Shen unhappy, your sister and I are almost sick, and I haven't seen my cousin who usually likes to stand up for me come to see me." Pear fell aside and poured himself a cup of tea, and said sourly.

"Huh? You're sick, where you're not feeling well, I'll touch it, it's not better. Xitong hurriedly stepped forward and touched the forehead of the pear with his hand.

"I'm all right," Liluo pinched Shen Xitong's outstretched hand, "It's you, when something happens, how sad you look like you, you don't look like you at all." ”

Shen Xitong sat down after hearing this, and put his hands on his cheeks, "My father and mother are coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"Isn't that a good thing, you always say that Brother Muzhou takes care of you, now you can sue." Pear fell to the side and winked and teased.

"Who can tell him, old fox." Shen Xitong rolled his eyes, it seemed that he had been bullied by Shen Muzhou, and seeing that there was no one around, Shen Xitong whispered to Liluo, "I want to persuade my father and mother to let them agree to my marriage with Hu Fei." ”

After hearing this, Liluo choked on a piece of pastry in her mouth, and felt a little unable to go up and down, "Who are you with?" She exclaimed.

"Guard Hu Fei, haven't you seen it?" Shen Xitong said unashamedly.

Liluo looked around again, pulled Shen Xitong into the room, and decided to torture her, "Miss, when did this happen, does Brother Muzhou know?" ”

"He didn't have time to care about me, and it didn't take long, a few days." Xi Tong thought of Hu Fei and said with a smile.

"Xitong, it's not my sister I'll pour cold water on you, you have to think about this matter in the long run, this Hu Fei, in addition to knowing your name, you know where his family lives, how many people there are in the family, what to do, you can't ruin your reputation because of a moment of brain fever."

"Liluo," Xitong said a little stunned, "When did you become so old-fashioned, reputation is all false, it is all done for others to see, I only know, I like Hu Fei, Hu Fei likes me, that's enough, a good man like him is much better than those noble and gentlemanly children of Jingshi." ”

"Okay, even if it's not because of fame, do you know Hu Fei? You know how much of his family affairs, marriage is not as simple as you think, and you will face his family. ”

After Xitong heard it, he said in a low voice, "This is also what I am worried about, Hu Fei's background is not very good, his family was a hunter in the mountains of Jinling City before, and there is only one mother in the family, and his martial arts are all learned by himself, so I am worried that my parents will not agree to this marriage." ”

After the two were silent for a while, Riro tried to ask, "How do you know that he likes you and isn't lying to you?" ”

As if remembering something, Xitong lowered his head and said, "On the night of the Midyear Festival, I confessed to Hu Fei, he felt that he was not worthy of me, lied to me that there was already a marriage at home, and rejected me, and later," she said with a smile, "That day, the disaster victims entered the city, everyone ran around in panic, and there was a mess around, and several people were scattered, it was he who ran over desperately and protected me, and the zombies I met in Tanshan Temple last time were the same, Liluo, I grew up being cared for by people since I was a child, This feeling of being really cared for can't deceive people, and later after returning to Shen Mansion, he always deliberately avoided me and avoided my eyes, but one day I wanted to learn to cook, and my hand was burned, and he immediately gave me medicine in a panic, and he didn't want me to do it. ”

Seeing that Xitong was intoxicated, Liluo did not interrupt, Xitong continued to preach, "He likes to play the flute very much, and often plays the flute outside my courtyard, although I am not good at talent, I also know that he likes me, but it is just between our background, he endured it and didn't say it, and later, he also admitted that the matter of marriage was a lie to me." ”

Xitong was worried that Liluo was not on her side, and then said, "Liluo, I know what you want to say, but you look at my temperament, there is no lady at all, most people like me just because of my identity, I have a short temperament, I don't want to eat at all, I have been cared for by my grandmother and brother since I was a child, if I marry into the so-called big family, I will be scolded and angry, I can't stand it and run back to my parents' house for three days and two days, if I get married, I live this kind of life, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life, But Hu Fei is different, I know that he will take care of me, be considerate of me, and not let me suffer a little grievance. ”

Xitong said everything about this, no matter how much Liluo objected, it seemed redundant, so she had to hug Xitong and say, "Cousin." ”

Xitong smiled, "Liluo, anything in this world can be deceived, but the eyes of loving a person can't deceive people." ”

Liluo sat in the carriage back home, and knew one thing in his heart, "In this world, everyone has everyone's troubles, and there are some things that can't be forced at all, rationality or emotion, it's an inexplicable thing." ”

In the past few days when she has been sick, she is looking for something to do for herself every day, in addition to weaving lanterns, she also dried all the books in the collection, she also composed a few tunes, and even carefully copied the articles written by Lin Chongyi, and her brother will ask her when he comes back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but for some reason, Liluo's heart is always empty, that person, after giving so many gifts, he never showed up, he seems to be very busy every day.

Although she was in Ning Mansion in the afternoon, Ning Yu said those words to tease her, but she always had some doubts in her heart, did that person really like her?

Liluo has always been a person who lives very clearly, she knows that she has moved her heart, and in her more than ten years, she finally experienced the taste of lovesickness, "It was so stumbling as soon as possible, how could it be like not knowing each other at the beginning." ”

A light Xiao sound played, as if to lead her forward, Liluo curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards Xiao Sheng's voice, but at this moment Xiao Sheng stopped abruptly, just when she felt a little strange, Ning Yi's voice sounded in the tree, "I'm here, little fool." ”

For some reason, Liluo's heart was full of joy, she hurriedly stepped out of the carriage and said to Ning Yi on the tree, "Why are you here?" ”

"Actually, I have to come to see you every day these days. It's just that you little pig sleeps soundly every time. Ning Yi jumped off the tree and said in a voice that only Liluo could hear.

Liluo immediately blushed from her face to her neck, and at this time, the two faced each other and smiled, without speaking to each other, as if they were reading each other's minds.

After looking at it for a while, Ning Yi said, "You are a woman who has not come out of the pavilion, it is not convenient for me to come to see you, if you want me, just watch this." After Ning Yi finished speaking, he handed the flute he had just played to Liluo's hand, and said softly, "Tong is in charge of Wei, pleasing the beauty of women." ”

Although Riluo was extremely shy when she heard this, she still caught it with her hand, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Ning Yi suddenly patted her on the head, "Go back quickly, your father will be worried later." ”

Liluo lowered her head, nodded in agreement, raised her head in a flicker, looked at Ning Yi, and felt that the eyes of the person in front of her were like starry eyes, full of her own reflection, and the two looked at each other for a long time.

"You girl." Ning Yi smiled, touched her head again, then turned around and jumped, disappearing into the night.
