The banquet was held in the evening, and in the morning, Yiyu and Li Tai went out to visit the lake, and had lunch at Tianhe Temple, and only came back late in the afternoon.

So when Yu Yu and Li Tai returned to the house, they heard that her mother had been waiting for half an hour, so she pushed Li Tai to go back to the Jade Courtyard to rest first, and she went to the flower hall to meet people.

When Yiyu arrived at the place, she entered the door and saw that Lu Jingshan and Jin Lu'an were there, half of the refreshments on the table were gone, Lu was holding Xiaoyudi and coaxing, and Lu Jingshan on the side saw that she was in a hurry over, her face was red and panting, so she teased:

"You were the one who asked people to come early, but you left the guests in the house and ran out to play."

Yi Yu touched her earlobe embarrassedly, walked to Lu Jingshan and sat down, her hand was pulled by Lu Jingshan, and she patted it affectionately, and Yu Yu explained:

"I've been busy lately, and it's rare to have a day to spare, so I went out for a walk with the prince."

She sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday and asked Lu to come early today, because she was afraid that there would be too many people at the banquet in the evening, and there would be no opportunity to chat in private.

Lu Jingshan made fun of her a few words, and then went to say to the Lu family: "Look at your mother, with the small one, she forgot about your big one, until you entered the door, she is afraid that she has not taken a look at you." ”

Lu raised his head with a smile, "I see her all day long, so I don't think it's rare." ”

Yi Yu snorted unhappily, "Why do you see me all day long, and you come back to see Xiaoyudi, my aunt is right, there is only a small one left in my mother's eyes, and she has long stopped kissing me." ”

Lu Jingshan laughed and hugged the Yu Yu into her arms, "Don't be afraid, and your aunt, let's ignore your mother and ask her to carry the child by herself." ”

Lu Shi said: "You just coax her, just now I don't know who was holding the child and kissing and hugging, complaining that Yu'er only cares about running out to play by herself, and doesn't care about the child." ”

Lu Jingshan's face turned red, and Yu Yu pulled her sleeve reluctantly, and shouted in a long tone and aggrievedly:

"Auntie."

The three of them were playing, Jin Lu sat quietly and watched, with a smile on her face, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there is a slight swelling under her eyes, and Yu Yu noticed that her complexion was not good, so she stopped behaving in front of the Lu family, pinched her smile, and said sideways with concern:

"Sister-in-law didn't rest last night, okay?"

Jin Lu'an's expression dodged for a while, and then returned to normal, "There were rats in my yard, and it has been very noisy at night these nights." ”

After winter, there was a rat infestation in the spring, and Yu Yu also heard people talk about rats in the kitchen, so he suggested:

"If the rat poison is not good, it will hurt people, so it is better to pick two cats outside the house and treat those rats, and after a few days of scare, they will stop."

Lu said: "Isn't there one, it doesn't work, I know how to eat and sleep all day long." ”

When Yi Yu heard Lu say this, she knew that Lu was talking about the flower-faced civet that she brought back from Nanzhao in her early years, because Yu Yu later married into the palace, and the civet cat was mostly fed by Lu, and over time, it was only close to Lu, where she went, it followed her, and when Yu went to Lu Jun during the New Year, she also saw the fat civet cat lying on the roof basking in the sun.

“... Mother, that's just a raccoon," Yu Yu couldn't help laughing, "It's different from a cat, when have you ever seen it catch a mouse?" ”

Lu Jingshan said to Lu Shi: "Isn't this thing easy to do, I'll find someone to get two cats for you in the next two days," and asked Yu Yu, "Are you here?" ”

Yi Yu shook his head, Yinxiao was stocked in the east courtyard, and came out to wander around at night, and there were a few mice in the house, which was not enough for it to be a snack every day.

They discussed here, did they not notice the wry smile that flashed on Jin Lu'an's face, whether it was a mouse or something else that kept her awake at night, only she knew in her heart.

That night, the banquet hall in the west pavilion of the Wei Wangfu was not lively, in fact, there were not many invitations sent out by the jade, but often an invitation fell into my hands, in addition to the family members and inevitably brought a few additional "relatives", so before the banquet, I had to make up twenty more tables in the west hall.

Yiyu was dressed in silk brocade, wearing gold hairpins and pearls, with exquisite makeup, sitting beside Li Tai, listening to the beauty and sycophants on the table one after another, with an unchanged and decent smile on his face, while answering freely, under the wine case, he and Li Tai wrote and talked about each other with their fingers in each other's palms, and the two of them dared to desert openly in front of so many people.

In the middle of the banquet, a juggling team entered to perform, and Yiyu took the excuse to change his clothes, greeted Li Tai, temporarily left the banquet, and led a pair of maids to the garden outside to breathe.

"Master, do you want the slave to bring you a bowl of sour soup and remove the wine." Out of the hall, Pingtong put the cloak on the jade shoulder and asked.

"No, come with me." Yi Yu glanced up at the clear night sky above the rooftop, pointed to the long corridor hung with blue lanterns to the west, and paced first.

Wei Wangfu repaired a few years ago, flowers and plants are replanted, the jade is really eye-catching in some places, when I walked to the west garden, stopped at a fork in the grass, I don't remember how to think, which way to go is the road to the lake, when I was recalling, I suddenly saw someone running over on the left path, she looked sideways, and at a glance recognized that it was Jin Lu'an who ran to her with a sullen head, and then looked at the tall figure chasing behind, how to look like Lu Jun.

"Sister-in-law?"

Yi Yu called, Jin Lu'an only then did he feel that there was someone in front of him, stopped, raised his head to reveal a crying face, Yi Yu saw clearly through the light of the cage on the tree, and was secretly frightened in his heart, so he left the maid and stepped forward to pull her, and said to Lu Jun who was chasing after him with a puzzled face:

"What's wrong?"

When Lu Jun met Yu Yu, he was stunned for a wrong step, and then touched his head and said embarrassedly:

"It's nothing, just argue with your second sister-in-law for a few words."

Yi Yu frowned, turned her head to look at Jin Lu'an, and saw that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and there were still some undried tears on her face, she must have cried just now, and she knew that things were not so simple, so she took her shoulder, glared at Lu Jun, and said:

"Second brother, let's go back to the banquet first, and I'll accompany my sister-in-law for a walk."

Lu Jun seemed to be unwilling, his eyes stared at Jin Lu'an with a little eagerness, and he stopped talking, as if he wanted to convey something.

Jin Lu'an looked at his pleading gaze, how did he not know that he was afraid that he would expose his shortcomings in front of Yi Yu, his heart was bitter, he sniffed, gently pushed away Yu Yu's hand, bowed his head and said:

"It's okay, it's me who lost my temper with your second brother, don't blame him, I just drank a few more glasses, my head is a little dizzy, you find someone to send me back, tell my mother on my behalf, so as not to worry her."

Yi Yu couldn't see that she was playing a pretense for Lu Jun, but it was not good to ask them about the private affairs between their husband and wife in person, so she comforted her a few words and asked Pingtong to send her out of the house.

When Jin Lu'an walked away with Pingtong's support, Yi Yu turned his head and glanced at Lu Jun, who was standing still, and said angrily:

"What are you still doing here, you won't chase after you if you don't shout, right, hurry up and coax people."

"Ahh Lu Jun was told by Yu Yuyi, so he raised his legs to catch up.

Looking at his back in a hurry, Yu Yu thought about it.

Besides, Lu Jun chased Jin Lu'an, because he had no one to guide him, he walked in the garden, and went around for most of the circle, so he chased him outside the palace gate, and he could catch up with the shadow of a carriage that slipped away.

At this time, the night was dark, and the long queue of gifts outside the palace gate had long since dispersed, and he stood alone outside the door, and his shadow was pulled by the four pairs of longevity lamps on the door, and the guards only glanced at him, and recognized that it was the second son of the princess's family, so they turned back to guard the door as if nothing happened.

Lu Jun's face was annoyed, looking at the carriage that couldn't even be seen in the shadow, and after looking left and right, he swept to the opposite side of the roadside and tied a horse under a tree, and ran over to lead the horse.

The owner of the horse fastened the reins very firmly, and he could not pull them open after a few pulls, and became more and more agitated, and when he was in a hurry, he heard a timid call into his ears:

"Nian An, Nian An."

Lu Jun turned his head, squinted his eyes and saw a slender and pitiful figure hiding on the street corner not far away, and saw clearly who that person was, he was full of surprise, so he let go of the horse with the owner and strode over.

"Why did you get here?"

Lu Jun's voice was a little loud, Song Xinci shrunk his neck, hugged his thin shoulders, and bowed his head and said:

"I, I heard that today is the princess's birthday, and I thought you would definitely come, so..."

She weakened her voice, Lu Jun saw that she was shivering from the night wind, thinking that she ran out so boldly, Xu just wanted to see herself, and she couldn't bear it, so she took off the velvet on her shoulders, shook it off and draped it on her shoulders, and separated her from the cold wind.

This scene is obviously not the first time that these two people have seen each other in the capital since they parted for a while.

Song Xinci saw his concern, her eyes blinked, and a string of tears fell, she grabbed the cloak on her shoulders, stared at Lu Jun's toes, and said in a trembling voice:

"I know I'm wrong, you made it clear to me last time, I should have broken my mind, after all... After all, I couldn't stand you first, I owed you so much, I can't pay it off in the next life, I shouldn't come to you again, but I, but I just can't control myself, as soon as I arrive in Chang'an City, I can't help but inquire about your news, as soon as I know that you are in the capital, I can't help but want to meet you... Brother Nian, do you know, for two years, I haven't missed you for a day, and I don't regret it... Woo..."

She cried quietly, but Lu Jun couldn't see a woman crying, standing helplessly, raising her hand to pat her to comfort her, and felt that it was unpleasant, and wanted to say a few words to her, but in the face of the confidante who was once infatuated, she couldn't be ruthless when she opened her mouth.

"You, don't cry, alas, I'll send you back to the post house first."

Song Xinci shook his head, wiped his tears, and laughed at himself:

"You don't have to drive me, I know you don't want to see me, what Mrs. Sister-in-law said is right, I am responsible for you first, I shouldn't pester you without face and skin, Brother Nian'an, don't worry, the palace has already intended to give me to the third son of the eldest grandson family as a concubine, and I won't bother you again in the future."

Lu Jun heard her say the first half of the sentence, his face was already a little embarrassed, under Jin Lu'an's questioning, he had mentioned to her the relationship in Yangzhou City that ended without a problem, but he didn't think that Jin Lu'an would go to Song Xinci for trouble in private, and then listen to her second half of the sentence, saying that he would be pointed out to the third son of the eldest grandson's family as a concubine, and his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"You... Why don't you go back to Yangzhou, find a good person to marry, and have to be a concubine? ”

Song Xinci raised his head, stared at Lu Jun stupidly, and smiled miserably, "Do you want me, I heard that the third son of the eldest grandson's family is a foolish person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and he just eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles all day long, but what can I do, this is my life, just like back then - only me, no one can help me." ”

Lu Jun's face sank, and then he remembered that the third son of the eldest grandson family, the one named Changsun Zhi, was indeed not a good person.

"I'm leaving, you don't have to send me, treat my sister-in-law well, she is a good woman who is sincere to you."

After that, Song Xinci didn't wait for Lu Jun to respond, he ripped off his cloak, grabbed his wrist, stuffed it back into his hand, looked at him deeply, with a bit of absoluteness, bit his pale lip hard, turned around and hurriedly ran into the alley where he came, and when Lu Jun came back to his senses, she was already in the night.

(Yesterday I learned that there is no Chinese New Year's Eve this year, only twenty-nine...) Will you watch the Spring Festival Gala*
