Chapter Ninety-Seven
"Mr. is going to take us out for a youth trip today, and it is estimated that we will have to take a poetry test on the spot, I don't know how to write poetry, Sister, what should I do, how is this country eunuch not at all the same as I imagined."
Changfeng wailed at the dinner table, but the rest of the Lu family barely heard it. Changfeng has been in the country for nearly three months, almost every day is in chaos, wailing constantly, at the beginning of the Lu family also followed the idea, and then I felt that let him go, let Mr. educate a few times, it is also a good thing for Changfeng.
Changfeng saw that everyone in the family was silent, and he no longer wailed, and turned to something else, "Sister, a few days ago, Qin Xuangongzi came over to ask you to climb the mountain outside the city, you said that you had an appointment, where are you going?" With Huo Hou? β
"Children don't ask, let's go to school quickly."
Lu Qingshan pretended to be serious and shouted.
Although he can't put his father-in-law on the shelf in front of Huo Hou, he is still a hundred satisfied with Huo Jing's son-in-law, and on weekdays, Lu Weimang and Huo Jing work together and go home together, and Lu Qingshan will deliberately avoid it.
But the two of them are always polite, which makes Lu Qingshan a little strange, the young man Mu Shaoai, is it so bland? Occasionally, I met two people together, one of them read the military book, and the other checked the information, which was irrelevant to each other and inexplicably harmonious.
Lu Qingshan sometimes can't figure it out, Huo Hou is a solemn and silent character, and his own daughters are not far behind, sometimes the weather is warm, and his daughters can lie alone under the tree all day without saying a word. With such two people with such a "single" temperament, was the marriage of the two really begged by Huo Hou, and not forcibly brokered by His Majesty?
Today, taking advantage of the rest of the day, the two of them travel together, maybe they can cultivate their feelings, Lu Qingshan thought.
In March, the weather became warmer, and when Lu Weimang and Huo Jing went out of the city today, they abandoned the cumbersome carriage and traveled on horseback instead.
The two of them were unable to ride fast in Kyoto, and it was difficult for the two to walk side by side, Lu Weimang turned his head to look at Huo Jing who was riding a horse on the side.
Today he wore a different cyan brocade robe, although the color is similar to the student uniform worn by Lu Weimang, but the special luster faintly refracted on it should be the special cloud brocade in the palace, and the bronze crown with the dark clothes in the past has also been replaced with a more matching jade crown, and a green jade pendant on his waist neutralizes his majestic figure and looks more polite.
But his thin face, knife-like side face contours and the sharp temperament of his eyebrows and eyes made him add a compelling momentum to his literary quality.
"Let's look at the money again."
Suddenly, the corners of Huo Jing's mouth curled, and he said slowly.
Lu Weimang also simply took out a grain of broken silver from his cuff and threw it directly.
Huo Jing didn't even need to turn his head, he caught the silver two that he threw straight over with one hand, and put it in his arms, "Cheng Yi." β
Lu Weimang listened, and couldn't help the corners of his mouth up, "Listening to Changfeng in the morning, I realized that today is the Shangsi Festival." There must be a lot of boys and girls in the city outside the city who meet for an outing, and there are also students from Guozijian who go on an outing, are you sure we are going to join in the fun? β
Huo Jing listened to Lu Weimang's words and turned his head, "We are a serious unmarried couple, and those people in your mouth are making fun." Or do you think I'm too old to go there and paint the old cucumber green, which is inappropriate? β
Lu Weimang was stunned, looked at the eyebrows raised by the people next to him, and hurriedly made amends, "You are in your prime, it is my heart that is in the twilight, and I am the one who is not suitable to go." β
She hadn't discovered that Huo Jing still had a poisonous tongue before.
"If you're impatient, I'm taking you to a lesser-frequented place after you've picked herbs by the river, where the apricot blossoms should be in full bloom by now."
Huo Jing's voice was cold and clear, he used to feel cold, but after listening to it, Lu Weimang only felt that it sounded good, as comfortable as cold water flowing through the bottom of his heart.
"That's good, the outing is just to see the scenery, there are too many people, it's crowded, it's boring."
The two of them were riding horses slowly, talking at the same time, and they seemed to be looking at the road by themselves, without the slimy atmosphere of ordinary little men and women, but listening to them, it inexplicably made Ding Yi and Lin Chen, who were following the two behind him, feel panicked, as if someone had sprinkled a handful of dog food early in the morning. And this dog food is not covered at all, and it is stuffed straight into the mouth.
When he arrived at Minghu Lake, the holy land of Qingqing in Beijing, Lu Weimang looked at Huo Jing on the side playfully, "I'm right, there are so many people here that people can't get in." β
It may be that it was suffocated by the cold, but it was a little warmer today, and the Ming Lake, which looks quite wide on weekdays, is full of people today.
Not to mention the people who went on an outing in Beijing, the students of Guozijian were scattered, and almost half of Minghu Lake was occupied.
"Dismount, let's go over."
Huo Jing took the lead in dismounting, Lu Weimang shrugged, also turned over and dismounted, and the two of them led the horse to swim towards Minghu Lake, and from time to time there were young boys and girls who joined hands to enjoy the scenery passing by.
"Huo Hou? Slightly? β
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at the voice, sure enough, it was Qin Xuan, and a group of young men and women together, except for Cui Wenyu, the other Lu Weimang had never seen it.
"Third Prince Qin."
"Qin Xuan."
The two men glanced at each other and greeted the person in front of them.
"Weiwei, I didn't expect to see you here today. Huo Hou, this is my fiancΓ©e, Cui Wenyu, the daughter of Cheng Anhou. There are also my cousin Bai Yijun, my sister Bai An'an and Wenyu's sister Jinyu. β
"I've seen Huo Hou."
Everyone saluted Huo Jing first, and Huo Jing just said, "Hmm." With a sound, it seemed to make the few teenagers in front of him excited enough, "We have admired Huo Hou for a long time, but I didn't expect to see him today, it's really worth the trip." β
"Is Huo Hou also here today? It's better for us to be together, and it's easy to talk if there are many people. β
"Brother-in-law, since you know Huo Hou, why don't you invite Huo Hou to join us?"
Qin Xuan was a little embarrassed, although he knew Huo Hou, but Huo Hou never looked down on them on weekdays, but he had more contacts with his father Qin Hou. Qin Xuan was embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Lu Weimang, "Weiwei, anyway, you guys are also out to play, why don't we go together." β
As soon as Qin Xuan opened his mouth, everyone who was present at Huo Jingwei did not dare to persuade him found a breakthrough, "This is Lord Lu Weimang, right?" You and my brother-in-law are classmates, since we met by chance today, it is also fate, you don't mind traveling with us, right? β
Qin Xuan's fiancΓ©e Cui Wenyu did not speak this time, and her sister Jinyu was extremely active.
Lu Weimang turned his head and glanced at Huo Jing, "It's better to..."
Lu Weimang stretched out his voice here, but Huo Jing was silent, and only looked at Lu Weimang fixedly.
"Since Lord Lu has agreed, let's go together."
Seeing that Lu Weimang seemed to have the intention of relieving his mouth, someone couldn't help but say.
"Forget it!"
Lu Weimang's words changed, "I'm not used to hanging out with people I don't know. β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in front of them changed. I had faintly heard that Lu Weimang spoke mercilessly, but it was really so direct that people almost choked.
"Qin Xuan, see you another day."
"Well, Weiwei, it's inconvenient today, let's make an appointment alone another day."
Qin Xuan opened his mouth a little unnaturally, Lu Weimang finished greeting, took Huo Jing's hand, and turned around and walked away in the shocked expressions of everyone.
"Brother-in-law, isn't this Lu Weimang good for you to walk for many years? Why do you still talk like that? β
"A six-grade master book, it's just a battle against Huo Hou's momentum."
"I heard that this little lady Lu is very rich..."
Lu Weimang ignored what everyone behind him said, and only went upstream with Huo Jing.
"Your name is Qin Xuan, the third son of Qin?"
Huo Jing suddenly spoke.
"yes."
Lu Weimang was a little unclear.
"He called you Weiwei."
"Well, when I first met Qin Xuan, both of us were only eleven or twelve years old, Qin Xuan was the youngest child in the family, and it was inevitable to speak coquettishly, when he called me "Weiwei" for the first time, I was still very unaccustomed to it, I felt that it was too numb, and the family didn't call me that, and then after a long time, I got used to it. He didn't mean anything else, maybe it was just a habit. β
Lu Weimang remembered that when he first entered Beijing, when he met Qin Xuan, he suddenly felt a little emotional, they were so small at that time, two little beans, no one paid attention to them, and they did things with a lot of energy. But later, officially because of this incident, she was told by Qin Hou and His Majesty and was able to walk out of the inner house.
"And what do you call me?"
"Huh?"
Lu Weimang's thoughts flew away for a while, and he asked blankly.
"What do you call me?"
Lu Weimang thought for a moment, "General Huo." β
Huo Jing's face darkened slightly.
"Brother?"
This is when he was in Qionglai, Lu Weimang kept calling Huo Jing's title, Huo Jing's face was slightly softened, "Huo Hou? β
Sensing Huo Jing's eyes, Lu Weimang smiled, "What else is it called?" β
I always feel that no matter how I shout, it is a little numb, and it is not as smooth as General Huo and Huo Hou.
"Do you want me to call you Lord Lu?"
"Yes!" Lu Weimang nodded, "I feel comfortable listening to this." β
Calling with an official title, it is both smooth and catchy, Lu Weimang thinks it is very good, but Huo Jing obviously doesn't think so, and his face is a little dark.
Lu Weimang was funny, and he no longer pretended to be stupid, "Call it by name, okay, Huo... Capital city! β
This seems to be the first time Lu Weimang called Huo Jing's name in person.
Huo Jing heard Lu Weimang call himself "Huo Jing", and he didn't know why a special feeling hit his heart, so he couldn't help but speak, "Lu Weimang? β
"Hmm."
"Lu Weimang!"
"Hey, Huo Jing."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Ding Yi and Lin Chen, who were not far behind them, didn't know why, so they laughed.
"Here's it, that purple one, isn't it the legendary citronella?"
"Well, you wait here, I'll pick some." Huo Jing handed the reins in his hand to Lu Weimang, took a few steps forward, and picked a bush of lemongrass at the edge of the water, which was still a little cool upstream.
"Here you go."
Looking at the purple vanilla stretched out in front of his eyes, Lu Weimang reached out and took it.
"It's the first time someone has given me vanilla."
Lu Weimang held the purple herb in his hand and looked at Huo Jing opposite, "What about you, has anyone given it to you before?" β
"I didn't take it."
"I see."
Lu Weimang said, handed the reins in his hand to Huo Jing, took out a sachet of light plates from his cuffs, picked off a few purple vanilla ears, and put them in his purse, "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and send them to you." β
Huo Jing smiled, like the first melting of ice and snow, took the purse, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a rather existential voice.
"Slightly mang?!"
