After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, on the tenth day of the first month of Yu Yu, she stayed in her room for a whole day, except for eating and other miscellaneous things, she just sat at the desk and copied the bamboo slips she borrowed from the big library of the Literature Museum.

In the past two days, there have been a lot fewer visitors to the Huaiguo Mansion, and it is worth mentioning that Cheng Yanjin, who was far away in Tongzhou, sent a letter back last night, saying that he would hurry up and return tomorrow, and I don't know why Princess Pingyang, who received the news that Lu Zhongzhi was critically ill, rushed back from Luoyang yesterday, and visited Lu Mansion privately.

In the evening, when the lamp was in hand, there was already a thick stack of paper on the side of rosewood's bookcase, Pingtong stopped studying ink, took the fire fold handed over by Pinghui, took off the lampshade next to the case, and after lighting it, he was hesitating whether to persuade the jade who was still sitting behind the case to rest for a while, when he saw her stop writing, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up and said:

"Is dinner ready?"

Seeing that there seemed to be a different smile on her face, Pingtong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's already good, do you want to put it on it?" ”

"Didn't my eldest brother come back?" Lu Zhi always goes out early and returns late these days, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, before Pingtong could answer, Yi Yu saw Lu Zhi walk in around the door screen, and while handing the cloak to the next person, he said to her:

"I'm hungry, haven't you had dinner?"

"I'm waiting for you." Yi Yu instructed Pinghui to ask someone to set up the dishes and go to the small hall outside, and in the past few days, all the families in the house have opened a group in their own yards.

Lu Zhi had already heard Lu Yao talk about what happened at last night's dinner, and after sitting down in the room, he said a few words to her, and then mentioned the little part where she left out after she was drunk last night.

Yi Yu sorted out the stack of handwritten copies, and when he heard that he was maliciously drunk and drugged, there was no surprise on his face, and said, "The fourth lady in General He's mansion? I don't know, it's not the ones who toasted me last night, you said she bought the people of the Imperial Banquet Palace to drug me? That's a group of people. ”

It wasn't her carelessness last night, if Lu Zhi hadn't told her in advance that she would let Lu Yao follow, she wouldn't have been afraid to drink outside knowing that she was easy to get drunk. And she was personally taught by Yao Buzhi, and she was sensitive to the smell of **, so she escaped in the actual temple, if there was any taste in the wine, she would definitely not drink it.

However, she never expected to be so drunk, and she would be involved with Li Tai again, and she was also kissed by him - you know, it was the first time she kissed in her two lives combined, and when she thought about it now, there seemed to be a feeling on her lips, but she never thought that the kiss was that feeling, a little cold, but it was very soft, with the other party's warm snort, and that faint fragrance......

"I listened to Lu Yao in the morning, so I asked people to investigate, only to know that there have been a few more comments about you in Beijing recently, most of them are not very good, the daughter of General He's mansion, Xu is because of this, I want to play tricks on you, you-" Halfway through the words, Lu Zhi frowned and stretched out his hand to probe her head, and said:

"Did you catch a cold last night, why is it a little hot?"

"Ah, no, it's a little hot in this room, I've been sitting all afternoon," Yu Yu stretched out his hand and fanned the wind in his ear, trying to make himself speak without being weak, "It's all bad comments about me, tell me about it." ”

Lu Zhi glanced at her strangely, whose cheeks were getting redder and redder, and said, "It is said that you took two pieces of woodcut during the Five Courtyard Art Competition and did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and it is also said that you took the opportunity to approach the crown prince and the king of Wei on the day of Shuyun Pavilion." ”

"Oh." Yi Yu raised her eyebrows in response, pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "Eldest Sun Xian is really idle and has nothing to do, pestering me anymore." ”

Lu Zhi was not surprised that she pointed out the black hand with the slander behind her back, and said: "In short, if you go out for a while, be careful when you talk and do things for the time being, these rumors can go with it, if you are really taken care of, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not make a big fuss." ”

"Well, I'll take care of it." Yi Yu said that before Lu Zhongzhi fell ill, the two said on this matter, in order not to cause trouble to Lu Zhi, she asked him not to interfere, and he agreed. It's just that the house is busy at the moment, and she doesn't have the kung fu to manage President Sun Xian for the time being.

"Young master, young lady, everything is set, please move to the hall to eat."

"Okay, Xiaoyu, let's go to dinner, and let's go see my grandfather later."

Lu Zhi was evasive, and he didn't tell the story that he heard that Li Tai invited the eighth girl to enjoy the flowers in Beiyuan tomorrow. And Yu Yu was a secret, and didn't tell Li Tai about asking her to enjoy the flowers tomorrow, but in the end, she didn't know that she was not the only female guest in Beiyuan tomorrow.

On November 11, before dawn, Yi Yu woke up, asked Pingtong to go to the door to look at the back, and sat at the head of the bed to find a book to read, but the mood was not as quiet as when practicing calligraphy yesterday afternoon.

Last night, Imperial Physician Liu came and said that it was the situation of Old Man Lu, and she would be able to last a few more days by relying on ginseng soup, but if it was not a last resort, she actually didn't want to go out. But after talking to Mrs. Lu yesterday, she realized that the matter with Li Tai could not be avoided like this, seeing that he was going to make a concubine, she should hurry up and not rush late, take this opportunity to explain the matter clearly as soon as possible, it is better than that she will regret it in the future.

She is such a person, if she can't figure it out, she will put it aside, and once she has figured it out, then she will say something. To put it bluntly, she was hugged and kissed by him, and he couldn't be irresponsible.

As for the throne or something, that is what she will have to face in the future, the track of history is destined to make King Wei unable to be the emperor, if she chooses his path to go down, she will prevent the tragedy from happening.

However, with the lessons of the Lu family, and the old lady Lu as an example here, if Li Tai insists on marrying the side concubine, then they have nothing to say, the long pain is better than the short pain, she likes him more than she imagined, but knowing that she is as intolerable as the Lu family, she does not want her future life to be a tragedy.

"Miss, the eldest young master is out." Pingtong watched Lu Zhi go out before running back to the house to report.

"Well, let's freshen up." Yi Yu put down the book that he hadn't looked at a few times, and ordered.

"Miss, where are you going today?"

"Hibiscus Garden North Garden." After the jade was given the place, they didn't say more, and the two sisters looked at each other, knew what to expect, and didn't ask again.

North Garden

The dinner party on the ninth day of the first month lasted until dawn, Li Tai stayed in the apricot garden for a day on the second day, and got up very early on the morning of the eleventh, when Ah Sheng helped him tie his hair, he peeked a few times from the mirror, although it was still an expression that remained unchanged for ten thousand years, but it made him feel that he was in a good mood, which made Ah Sheng, who did not know that he invited the jade to come to enjoy the flowers, wondered.

Changing into the clothes that had just been scented, Li Tai waved his hand to avoid Ah Sheng, tied his belt, and said, "You go to pick up people on the Yanying Bridge." ”

"Huh?" Ah Sheng was suspicious, "It's the time of the appointment, and the ladies shouldn't have arrived at this time." "It's not that he is proud of his identity, or that the ladies have arrived, and he doesn't need to pick them up in person.

Li Tai glanced at the mirror and said, "If people come, take them to the water pavilion first." ”

"Yes." Ah Sheng turned around and walked out of the house in a daze, and waited until he reached the edge of the Yanying Bridge outside the Hibiscus Garden, and waited for a quarter of an hour, after seeing the carriage of the Huaiguo Mansion, he suddenly realized, no wonder he came to greet him, this person can't he come in person!

"Miss Lu, you're here." When he said this, he didn't understand what his master thought, when was it bad, what was the matter of inviting this person over today?

Yi Yu got down from the carriage, saw the people standing at the bridge and bowed to greet him, nodded and said, "Steward Li, early." Outside, she didn't call him "Brother Ah Sheng" when he was in the secret house.

"Come with me." Ah Sheng stretched out his hand to make a lead, and then led Yi Yu and Pingtong, who came up, towards Beiyuan.

This hibiscus garden changed to a new owner overnight, and the people in it were also changed by the Wei Wangfu's hands and feet, so the people who came and went did not react to the jade that appeared here in the morning, but when they passed by, they bent down in the same place to salute.

The North Garden is located in the place near the river, one end is the shallow river of the carved railing, the other end is the huge garden, there is one pavilion and water pavilion each, but there is no pavilion and hall, today the outside is a little cold, the jade is led into the water pavilion that is ventilated on all sides, but it is strange not to feel cold.

Everywhere in this North Garden, someone arranged it in advance this morning, a thick blanket was laid on the ground, and many soft pillows and backrests were placed on it, because eight young ladies were invited, and many sets of tea sets and meals were placed, only in this water pavilion, in order to let King Wei and a certain young lady be alone, there were two sets, therefore, after Yu Yu picked a place to sit down, he still didn't find that there were other people today.

"Miss Lu, Your Highness will come later, you sit down for a while, several kinds of hibiscus in this garden are in full bloom, you might as well take a look, if you like it, let the next person pick it back."

In winter, ordinary flowers can't be found, and plums have not bloomed, this woman in Chang'an City, if she can not only have fresh flowers on the bun, it is a more important thing than wearing gold and silver. And these flowers in the hibiscus garden, the big flowers and the small flowers, are stared at by the princesses and concubines, but all the good-looking ones are more expensive than gold.

"I'll just take a look." Yu Yu didn't forget that she was invited by borrowing the name of flower appreciation, took the hot tea offered by Pingtong, and on one side, she enjoyed the hibiscus with its own posture in the flower garden in the south.

After all, after getting along in the secret house for a long time, Ah Sheng saw that she was not enthusiastic about her attitude, so he just smiled, stood aside, and continued to mumble because Li Tai invited her to come over today.

Looking at those delicate or gorgeous flowers, Yi Yu was silently rehearsing what he was going to say to Li Tai in his heart, and his eyes gradually drifted.

When Li Tai walked into the water pavilion, he saw her holding her chin and looking at the hibiscus in the east garden, and without saying hello, he walked directly to her and sat down, instead of those flowers, met her gaze, and said:

"What do you think?"

This seems to be the question he asks her most often. (！ )
