The person who came in was none other than Qu Rong.

Qu Rong's eyes first turned around Lu Jiayue without a trace, and then greeted Mrs. Qu and several ladies in turn.

"Don't say it, the little girl of the moon girl, how can you stand such a naughty laugh?" Old Madam Qu first said a few words to Huang's smile, and then smiled at Qu Rong, "Are you back?" Isn't it twenty-three today—when the school leave in the Guozi prison has been changed? ”

Qu Rong replied with a smile: "I haven't changed the time, it's just that the gentleman who teaches schoolwork today has something to do in the afternoon, and he has never come to the prison, so I thought that there was nothing to do, so I came back to greet my grandmother, and then brought a few sets of thick clothes to the prison by the way." ”

"Good, good," Old Madam Qu smiled, "You have always been the most filial child, have you seen your mother?" ”

"I haven't heard yet, but when I came back, I heard that my grandmother, my aunt, and my two aunts were enjoying the plum blossoms in the garden, and my grandson came over."

Old Madam Qu raised her hand and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do here, you can go, go back to see your mother." ”

Qu Rong seemed to be a little reluctant, slowly saluted, and went out.

Before leaving, he quietly glanced at Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue sat unmoved, like an ice sculpture.

It's like there's never been such a person as Qu Rong in this warm pavilion, coming or going, it has nothing to do with her.

Someone finally noticed Lu Jiayue's abnormality.

Qu Ying gently pulled Lu Jiayue's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Jiayue smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, Xu has just been outside for a long time, and now I feel a little cold soaked in my body." ”

When Meng Shi heard it, he immediately became anxious, "I'm afraid it's cold again-then let's go back quickly, let people boil some thick ginger soup to drink, and block the cold first, and then let people go to Taiyi Cheng to take a look." ”

When the old lady heard this, she stopped her.

"Don't worry, since the moon girl said that her body is cold, then drink ginger soup here and go back, otherwise this trip back, adding to the cold, I'm afraid it will be even worse."

As he spoke, someone had already sent the maids and servants to boil ginger soup on a small stove under the eaves of the porch outside.

Lu Jiayue was afraid of spicy, so she added two spoonfuls of brown sugar to the ginger soup, and she barely drank a bowl.

However, Mrs. Qu was always uneasy, so she ordered someone to send a soft sedan chair, took a cashmere blanket and wrapped it tightly for Lu Jiayue, stuffed it into the soft sedan chair, and carried it back to Chuntang House by the four little girls.

Let's say that Qu Rong went back to the courtyard of the second room, the second lady Duan was dozing off on the warm kang in the inner room, and Duan Wenxin and Cuiping Yuping were quietly doing needlework on the side.

Seeing Qu Rong come back, Duan was very surprised, and Duan Wenxin was overflowing with joy.

Duan called the maids to change Qu Rong's clothes, and asked, "Didn't I just send Shuangxi to the Guozijian to bring you food?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

In fact, Qu Rong came back, precisely because when Shuangxi went to Guozi Prison to deliver food, he unintentionally mentioned that all the daughters of the Qu family were in the Dark Fragrance Garden in the afternoon to enjoy the plum blossoms.

For the sake of the delicate and slender figure that I hurriedly glanced at in the eldest aunt Meng's house that day, and a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of my nose.

Later, these days, he went back to the house several times, but he never had the opportunity to meet again.

I only smell its fragrance, but I don't see its people. Today, when he learned that all the ladies and relatives gathered in the Dark Fragrance Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, how could he be willing to miss it again?

However, Qu Rong would not tell the Duan family the truth, so he only repeated the words he had replied to Old Lady Qu in the Warm Pavilion of the Dark Fragrance Garden.

Duan couldn't help frowning: "They are also idle and panicked, what plum blossoms are they going to enjoy, and what they are rewarding them is, it is also worth your special greeting?" ”

Qu Rong said with a smile: "Since I have returned, there is no reason not to say hello to my grandmother." ”

"That's fine," Duan's tone was light, and he added, "At this time, I'm afraid that dinner is still being prepared in the small kitchen, are you hungry?" Bring some pastries to you first. ”

Qu Rong nodded, and Cui Ping went out to speak.

Qu Rong took off his deerskin cotton boots, sat cross-legged on the warm kang, and smiled at Duan's again: "I just went to the garden and saw the niece of the eldest aunt, and she was also with her grandmother. ”

Duan immediately rolled his eyelids and said angrily: "That little girl, she has a weird temper, and she doesn't know who she looks like?" The last time I had dinner at the old lady's, I praised her with kind words, but she put on the appearance that I owe her, which was really annoying—but your grandmother loved her as if she loved her, and it was funny. ”

Qu Rong didn't seem to hear Duan's complaints, and the corners of his mouth kept smiling, and he said softly: "What are mothers talking about with a little girl?" Look at what she looks like, only about thirteen years old? ”

Duan snorted, "Isn't it?" People are small and big, and they get tired of teaching people when they see them..."

"-Mother," Qu Rong frowned slightly, interrupting Duan's grumbling, "I look at her very well, she looks very good, and she is not as embarrassed as my mother said." ”

Duan's face was full of surprise when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and glared at Qu Rong.

"Didn't you fall in love with that little girl?"

Qu Rong smiled leisurely: "With her appearance, there is probably no one who will look down on her." ”

Duan Shi was stunned.

Qu Rong recalled the scene when he first saw Lu Jiayue in the Dark Fragrance Garden.

Ice and snow glass, red plum floating clouds, between the two intertwined, just a weak and slender figure, a bright and flawless face, but it seems to make everything around him lose its color.

Especially those eyes, black and white, clear and moist, like two black gems immersed in clear water.

Bright and bright, just one glance, it seems that people can't help but sink into it.

Duan Wenxin on the side was anxious.

She had never seen such a sweet smile on Qu Rong's face, and she had never heard Qu Rong praise her.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and muttered in a low voice: "Lu Jiayue is just an orphan girl under the fence, where is it as good as my cousin said?" ”

Qu Rong listened, but he didn't look at Duan Wenxin, only glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and said with a mocking smile: "She just doesn't have a mother, and her father is now doing a good job as a political envoy of Yunguibu, where can she be considered an orphan girl?" If she is an orphan girl, what are the daughters of those petty officials and officials? ”

That's a bit of a weight.

Because Duan Wenxin's father was in the government of the Cangzhou prefect, he was a small official who did not enter the stream.

"Auntie!" Duan Wenxin was ashamed and angry, and only shouted Duan's once, and then he couldn't speak, tears rolling in his eyes.

The Duan clan didn't have time to care about her brother being despised by Qu Rong at this time, she was only thinking about how to dispel all of Qu Rong's thoughts about Lu Jiayue.

Duan Wenxin saw that the Duan clan was indifferent, how could he still have the face to stay?

As soon as he stomped his foot, he turned around and ran out.

Duan's face was calm, his eyes were fixed on Qu Rong's face, and he asked, "You really fell in love with that little girl?" ”

Qu Rong smiled and said nothing, stretched out his hand and dusted off the robe on his body, and after a while, he said slowly: "If you say that you have seen her, it is not false, if you say that you have seen her father's career and future, it is true." ”
