Chapter Ninety-Four: The Gift
"Sister, I didn't expect you to settle down so early, Changfeng and I thought..."
Cheng Yang was a rare slurred, scratching his head.
After sending Huo Jing away, the housekeeper and Daddy Lu were still drinking to suppress the shock, Cheng Yang and Changfeng followed Lu Weimang back to the room and couldn't help but speak.
"Why?"
Lu Weimang raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
Seeing that his sister seemed to be quite relaxed, Cheng Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, a long time ago, we thought that Sister A was with Brother Cheng, and later when we entered Kyoto, we felt that Sister A was also very relaxed with Qin Xuan and Qin Gongzi. I just didn't think about General Huo. ”
Cheng Yang said openly to Sister A.
"Why?"
Cheng Yang glanced at Changfeng on the side, and said, "Sister A's heart is free and she can't be restrained, so we think that people who can tolerate Sister A's temper will be more suitable." For example, Brother Cheng, who is more tolerant of people, or the amiable Qin Gongzi. ”
"Do you think that Sister Ah has a stubborn temper and is strong in her work, and it would be more suitable for someone with a good temper?"
Lu Weimang directly said the words of the two younger brothers.
Cheng Yang and Changfeng hurriedly waved their hands, Changfeng's face turned red, "No, Sister Ah seems to be strong, but in fact, she is very soft-hearted, but she is wise and efficient in doing things, and she cuts through the mess quickly, people who don't know Sister Ah will think that Sister Ah is tough, I have a sister with Elder Brother, I don't know how relieved I am." That's it, sometimes outsiders inevitably don't understand, and they will think that Sister Ah is too tough. ”
"I know what you mean, don't rush."
Lu Weimang touched Changfeng's head and comforted him, Changfeng's red eyes suddenly burst into tears because of Sister A's comfort, "In this world, there are always many requirements for women, to be chaste, to be submissive, to be husband and children, and to take care of the family business." If Sister A can find someone with the same temper, don't ask him for anything else, and can understand and support Sister A to do what she wants, then Sister A should have a more relaxed life. General Huo is very good, but he has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and it is not easy for him to be considerate of others. It's too fast, sister, can you ask Your Majesty to marry later, and wait for you to get along for more time before making a decision. ”
Thinking of the sister who is so good in his heart, she is going to be given a marriage, and she will be criticized by others in the future, Changfeng is distressed.
Looking at the long wind with tears and tears, and Chengyang who was also sluggish on the side, Lu Weimang couldn't cry or laugh.
"How can you cry your nose when you say it's like a child? Wipe your tears, it's ugly. ”
Lu Weimang handed over a handkerchief, Changfeng didn't answer it, and he was embarrassed to wipe a handful of tears with his hand, "Maybe the news of the marriage came too suddenly, and the other party is a high-powered General Huo, so I didn't hold back a little." ”
Lu Weimang didn't expect that a younger brother like two little radish dices would know how to feel sorry for people, and decided to tell them the truth at the moment, saving them from worrying about themselves crankily, "The marriage is not sudden, Changfeng, Chengyang, in fact, last year, the queen had the intention of giving marriage." ”
The two of them were surprised in their eyes, and Lu Weimang smiled, "You see, if I really want to excuse myself, there is a way." Otherwise, it can't be delayed for so long. ”
"Today's marriage, I was also shocked at first, but then I thought about it and thought forget it, because it was Huo Jing, I didn't want to push it anymore, I wanted to have the courage to give it a try."
Speaking the true thoughts in his heart, Lu Weimang sighed unconsciously. She habitually wraps herself up and makes herself feel safe. Saying what she thinks naked like this makes her feel like running naked, uncomfortable. But in the face of the worries of his family, Lu Weimang tried to express his true thoughts for the first time.
"Some people seem tolerant and peaceful, but they are weak in their hearts and compare themselves. And there will be limits in the heart, once you touch that line, there is no room for negotiation at all. But some people look strong, but they are in a big mood, and they will be more comfortable to get along with. ”
"Sister is saying that General Huo has a broad heart?" Changfeng asked with red eyes. Cheng Yang also looked at Lu Weimang.
"Well, although Huo Jing looks strong, he is emotionally calm, calm, easy to communicate, and respectful of others. Sometimes I can't even control my temper, but he doesn't. Being in a high position and being cautious and independent, I admire him very much. ”
"General Huo defends his family and the country, and we also admire him."
Cheng Yang said, "But admiration is still different from liking, right? ”
"What you admire is his achievements, and what I admire is his character. And sister, don't you know yet? People who don't like the eye, no matter what their status, don't bother to look at them at one more time. Neither of us has ever experienced love, nor have we seen it, but on the premise of having a good impression and heartbeat, and on the premise of being firmly chosen, I want to try. Anyway, I can bear the outcome. ”
This is the confidence brought by Lu Weimang's continuous efforts since he crossed.
Cheng Yang and Changfeng were relieved when they heard this, "No matter what, we support Sister A's idea." ”
The three sisters and brothers in the house looked at each other and smiled, and outside the house, Lu Qingshan raised his index finger and pulled the housekeeper and walked away quietly, "My daughter is better than me, and she can see more clearly than me, what else do I have to worry about as a father?" ”
"Yes, Miss has been extraordinary since she was a child. And sir, do you remember? I told you, when I went to pick up the young lady back, there was a sudden rainstorm on the way..."
Seeing that Lu Qingshan's face faded from worry, the housekeeper endured the words all night and finally had someone to confide in, "At that time, I felt that although the young lady was young, her calm demeanor was very compatible with General Huo, sure enough, now Your Majesty is married, a match made in heaven..."
…
The next day, after digesting all night, the Lu family went to school as usual.
The solar terms have not yet reached the vernal equinox, and when the sun is in the palace, the sky is black and gray, and only at the palace gate will be because of the many torches and lanterns, you can see each other's faces clearly.
Today, the dignitaries who squinted at the court walked to the gate of the palace and were frightened awake by a great god standing at the gate of the palace.
"General Huo, who are you?"
The lord saluted respectfully and asked cautiously.
"Wait for someone."
Huo Jing's two words made this adult feel flattered.
On weekdays, how could they have the opportunity to talk to General Huo, but they didn't expect that they would just say hello casually today, and they would be replied.
"You wait slowly, and you will go in first."
The adult walked to the palace in a playful manner, pulling a certain adult next to him who was full of curiosity.
"General Huo!"
Here Lu Weimang walked to the gate of the palace with his father, but Lu Qingshan's old eyes were sharp, and he saw Huo Jing at the gate of the palace from afar.
Lu Weimang raised his head when he heard this, and saw Huo Jing, who was standing at the gate of the palace just now, striding over.
The people next to him who secretly poked and paid attention suddenly looked like they were waiting for "Lord Lu".
"General Huo." Lu Weimang hugged his fists and saluted, and Lu Qingshan also hugged his fists.
Huo Jing returned the salute, "General Lu." Then he naturally looked at Lu Weimang, "I'm waiting for you." ”
Lu Weimang scratched his head, "Is there anything you forgot to say?" ”
"No, I just wanted to see you earlier. Why don't I pick you up tomorrow and go to the government with you." ”
A certain general Lu, who was neglected and went to the government with his daughter, pouted his lips and walked away. Only two young men were left to speak.
Seeing his father walking away, Lu Weimang felt more comfortable, "No, I can go to the government myself." And we didn't go along the way, we were supposed to go to the government early, and then come to pick me up, so why do you have to get up early? ”
"It's okay, I'm used to waking up early in the army." Huo Jing lowered his head and looked at Lu Weimang.
The two of them walked inside as they spoke.
The adults passing by seemed to be as immobile as the wind, but they were gossiping up their ears one by one.
"Forget it, let you wait for me because I get up early, I feel burdened." Lu Weimang had something to say bluntly, but he felt that it was too straightforward and ruthless, so he couldn't help but go back to make up for it, "Otherwise, forget it if you get up early, we can go together." ”
Huo Jing also nodded, "It's okay, you didn't get used to it at first, so we just dispersed together." ”
"I'm in the temple."
"Well, oh, I'll wait for you in Chunxi Hall first."
When Huo Jing heard this, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the girl in front of him, Lu Weimang looked at the expressions of shock and jaw dropping around him, with a trace of embarrassment, "I'll go first." ”
After saying that, he hurriedly walked a few steps to the east and left the place where the crowd was watching.
Huo Jing withdrew his hand with a natural expression, glanced at the eyes around him who were looking at him in the dark, and walked straight to the Chengming Palace.
How fast is the gossip in Kyoto? After the yamen dispersed, Lu Weimang and Huo Jing left in the carriage together, and the eyes of all the adults around them had become clear.
On the second day, Lu Weimang and Huo Jing went to the tax street to hang out, and the surrounding vendors also had a vague look in their eyes.
On the third day, Cheng Yang and Changfeng were harassed to varying degrees, and the topic was "I heard that your sister is going to get engaged to General Huo?" ”
"Your Majesty is in the court today, and said that the lord of Shun'an County will keep the spirit on behalf of the heavens, and he will leave for Anyang after the Shangyuan Festival."
Lu Weimang is reading the local chronicles of Jingzhou, and recently, Lu Weimang has been thinking about the trade route from Jingzhou to Qionglai, so his daily work is to find local chronicles and water maps.
"Oh," Lu Weimang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked at Huo Jing who was working on the side. "Did you suggest it? Actually, I can handle it. ”
Huo Jing also said truthfully, "The county lord's family is too ugly, even if it weren't for you, Your Majesty wouldn't tolerate them for too long." My proposal is nothing more than a step up for Your Majesty. ”
"Well, I get it."
Lu Weimang's original plan was to make a move after this matter calmed down. If you don't die, you will suffer from it, and Lu Weimang will not leave him with trouble. However, Anyang and Kyoto are far away from each other, so they can put the county lord's family down for the time being.
"I saw you yesterday that you didn't seem to have bought any materials."
“?” Lu Weimang raised his head from the information and looked at Huo Jing on the side, "What material?" ”
"When we were in Qionglai, we said that we would exchange handicrafts during the Lantern Festival. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, my palace lantern has been ready, what about yours? ”
Lu Weimang suddenly, she still remembered this incident, but when she thought of the miserable palace lamp made by her at home, she felt a little uneasy, "My materials have been bought a long time ago, but the finished product is still a little bit short, I will go back today to finish it." ”
Lu Weimang's face did not change.
"Then I'll see?"
