Chapter 110: Repentance
"Girl, you've got more than a dozen bottles of toilet water, it should be enough, right?"
Leaving for Jingzhou tomorrow, everyone in the Lu family is helping Lu Weimang pack his luggage.
Lu Qingshan looked at the huge package in Lu Weimang's hand, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. Last time I went out to Qionglai, I didn't want to bring a small baggage, but this time I went to Jingzhou, I actually brought so much? Is it overkill?
"Not much, this toilet water can not only repel mosquitoes, but also insects. The last time I went to Qionglai, I saw the ubiquitous flying insects, so don't you be a little more vigilant this time and prepare more things? β
Lu Weimang is still thinking about things, in addition to flower water, there are also insect repellent packets of camphor and the like.
"By the way, Sister, do you have any medicine for seasickness? You forget, when we came to Kyoto, you got motion sickness in the car, and this time you took the boat, I don't know if you will get seasick? β
Changfeng said this suddenly, Lu Weimang was dumbfounded, and Lu Qingshan clapped his hands, "Yes, girl, this is the most important thing, housekeeper, you go to the Rejuvenation Hall, buy some medicine for seasickness." β
A few people here were busy chattering, Cheng Yang only watched everyone busy and silent, and at this time, seeing that Sister A seemed to be worried about seasickness, he couldn't help but speak, "Sister, what you are worried about, Huo Hou should have prepared in advance. The last time you went out, you weren't so flustered, why is this time different, don't you want to go? β
Cheng Yang spoke unhurriedly, but in a word. Lu Qingshan and Lu Changfeng didn't panic with Lu Weimang at this time, they just looked at Lu Weimang, and their faces were a little worried.
Lu Weimang smiled bitterly, "Chengyang is really delicate, I really don't want to go to Jingyang." β
Everyone in the Lu family sat in the hall of Lu Weimang's room, and they no longer tossed their luggage.
They all know Lu Weimang's style, when they go out on weekdays, they can just bring a change of clothes, and they won't toss a lot of things like this time, so abnormal, it must be Cheng Yang who is right, she really doesn't want to go.
"Wouldn't it be nice to go around the land of Jingyang with Huo Hou! I heard that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and I don't know when I will have time to miss this opportunity. And the mother has set March 18 next year as the wedding date, after getting married, it is even more impossible to be free and idle at this time. Lu Qingshan persuaded.
Lu Weimang nodded, "Daddy, I know." I understand what you persuaded me, but I can't bend it a little. Maybe when I go out, I'll be in a good mood and happy. β
Lu Weimang said this, and everyone in the Lu family was even more worried.
Coming out of Lu Weimang's room, the three men of the Lu family gathered in Lu Qingshan's study, still worried about Lu Weimang's state.
"You still have to tie the bell to the bell, Cheng Yang, you go and get some flower water to send it to Huo Hou, let's just say that your sister prepared in advance for this trip to Jingyang Land."
"Can it work? Leaving tomorrow, Huo Hou will definitely have a lot of messy things today, maybe he won't have time to come over. Besides, even if there is something, will it be the same if you say no tomorrow? Long Wind scratched his head.
"You don't understand." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, not going to explain to Changfeng, the hairy boy, just looking at Cheng Yang, "You go to Huohou's mansion, don't say too much, just give things to Huohou." β
Changyang nodded, took the flower water and went to Huohou's mansion.
When the brother-in-law of the young master of his own family came, Lin Chen and Ding Yi were of course enthusiastic about Cheng Yang, and they were also very happy when they heard that it was the flower water sent by the little lady Lu.
It's not that they haven't seen good things, it's really that this little lady Lu is different from the girl next to her, the little lady next to her has a fiancΓ©, not to mention being a guest every once in a while, it is also a small gift with a purse fan sleeve that keeps giving away, expressing her thoughtfulness to her future husband. As a result, this little lady Lu and their young master, firstly, there is no female elder, so they can invite each other to come over as guests, and secondly, the little lady Lu herself is a comfortable person, which makes her petty and tender, and it is estimated that it is more uncomfortable than killing her.
The Huo family knew that Lu Xiaoniang was a person, and they didn't have hope, but they didn't expect that something was unexpectedly sent over this time, and they must notify the young master as soon as possible, so that the young master will also be happy.
"Huo Houye."
Cheng Yang bowed and saluted.
"It's all a family, don't be polite, sit, take a sip of tea first."
Cheng Yang looked at three pairs of blazing eyes and put the flower water in his hand on the table.
"This is mosquito repellent flower water, the last time I went to Qionglai was in a hurry, and Kyoto was dry and there were few insects, so I didn't have time to make it. This time, Sister Ah prepared a lot in advance for tomorrow's trip to Jingyang, which was given to Huo Hou. β
Of course, Huo Jing was happy that Lu Weimang sent a gift, but when he heard Cheng Yang talk about his last trip to Qionglai, thinking of the hardships on the road last time, Huo Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
For more than a month since the last Hero Festival, he has almost no time to go to the court, nor has he gone to Chunxi Hall, every day is either interrogating criminals, or arranging a pursuit, presumably after Lu Weimang agreed to go to Jingzhou and Erzhou last time with a hot head, there is no follow-up, she will be a little awkward.
"What is your sister doing at home?"
Huo Jing asked the young man in front of him. Although Cheng Yang and Lu Weimang are three years apart, they are quite similar in personality and appearance. Especially for a period of time, Cheng Yang imitated Lu Weimang intentionally or unintentionally, which exacerbated this similarity. It's just that Lu Weimang's eyebrows and eyes are indifferent, while Cheng Yang is cautious, and his temperament is a little different.
"Sister started packing her luggage early this morning, eating and wearing, as well as some daily medicines, motion sickness medicine, and wind chill medicine, which were also prepared in advance."
Lin Chen was happy to hear this, and only felt that Lu Xiaoniang had grown better than last year and knew how to take care of people. Huo Jing frowned, "Is Lord Lu in the mansion today?" Don't know if it's inconvenient to visit? β
Cheng Yang waited for this sentence, and got up when he heard the words, "Father is at home today, Huo Hou goes to the house, and my father will be very happy." β
"Then let's go, let's go to Lu Mansion together."
Seeing that Huo Hou really followed Brother Over, Changfeng was a little surprised, and Lu Qingshan also smiled, "Huo Hou is here, and he is not welcome." β
The two bowed and saluted, and after seeing each other, Huo Jing spoke directly, "How to use this flower water, no one in the Huo Mansion knows, so I came in person and wanted to ask Weimang." β
Huo Jing got straight to the point, and Lu Qingshan also pushed the boat down the river, "Butler, lead Huo Hou to Miss." He said to Huo Hou again, "You talk first, it's almost time to eat, I'll ask people to make a table of good dishes, and Huo Hou will stay and eat together later." β
Over there, Lu Weimang was still sitting in the room. She packed her luggage early in the morning, and the more she cleaned up at this time, the more depressed she became, and she simply lay on the table, out of sight, out of mind.
"Miss, Hou Ye Huo is here."
Suddenly, Steward Lu's knock on the door, and the sound of the report, Lu Weimang looked up, and saw Huo Jing walking towards him, dressed in a moon-white robe, as if he was at home, as if he was at home, which Lu Weimang had never seen before. In the past, Huo Jing was either dressed in armor, or in an official robe, or in exquisite regular clothes, and it was rare to be so casual.
"Why are you here?"
Although Lu Weimang was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't bother to get up, and said lazily.
The housekeeper outside couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw his young lady's casual appearance, "Miss, you look so lazy, why do you have to show it after you get married, why do you look so lazy now?" β
The housekeeper was anxious, Lu Weimang didn't know that she just didn't have the energy to entertain others.
"Still upset?"
Huo Jing suddenly spoke.
"No, I just don't feel bored." Lu Weimang said lazily.
"Do you regret not wanting to go, and you are embarrassed to say it with a strong face? It doesn't matter, if you really don't want to go, I'll go and tell Your Majesty that you can stay in Kyoto and wait for me to come back. β
Lu Weimang sat up straight all of a sudden, and stammered, "I, when did I say I didn't want to go." I'm the one, I can't tolerate the heat, yes, it's too hot, and I'm a little irritable, so I can't lift my spirits. By the way, do you drink herbal tea? I made it myself, and the effect of relieving the heat is quite good. β
Lu Weimang almost jumped up, went to pour tea, handed Huo Jing a cup, took a cup and drank it all, suppressed the shock, poured another cup, and then sat down and looked at Huo Jing opposite. The roots of her ears are still a little red, which is embarrassing to face Huo Jing, because she has always known that Huo Jing has insight into people's hearts, and if she is a little messy, others can see through her own thoughts. As a villain who backtracked and angered others, Lu Weimang was a little ashamed to see people.
Too unambitious, Lu Weimang scolded himself secretly.
"Well, I'm looking forward to going to the Land of Jingyang with you. I heard that the scenery there was beautiful, so I thought that before we got married, we went out together to cultivate a relationship. β
Huo Jing's tone changed abruptly, which made Lu Weimang angry, and he couldn't help his temper for a while, "Why are you like this?" Are you kidding me? If it weren't for your tricks, how could I have agreed so easily for you to go to the Land of Jingyang? You're not above board at all. β
Lu Weimang didn't care about losing face, and directly said his thoughts.
"Well, I'll admit it, I used a bit of a beauty trick, but I didn't expect you to say yes all of a sudden."
Huo Jing's breath was cold, but Lu Weimang couldn't help blushing, "What kind of beauty?" You are obviously showing weakness to the enemy, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and attacking the east and west! β
Huo Jing couldn't help laughing, and took Lu Weimang's hand, "No matter what the strategy is, thank you for giving me the opportunity, I am willing to gamble and lose, don't you, you can't afford to lose at this time." β
Lu Weimang wanted to withdraw his hand but couldn't, just looked at Huo Jing in front of him, "I can't afford to lose, how about it?" β
Huo Jing listened to Lu Weimang's words, but sighed, "The land of Jingyang has been prosperous since ancient times, and I have already arranged it in advance, and I will try not to make you suffer." β
Lu Weimang just wanted to refute, but Huo Jing grabbed the conversation, "I know that you are not afraid of hardship, but I just think that this trip to Jingyang Land is to go with me, and I feel that I have no errands to do, it will be boring, right?" Then you are wrong, you will be the one who must go out this time. β
Lu Weimang was curious, "What do you mean?" Your Majesty allowed me to go to Jingyang, but only asked me to take care of you, and did not assign me an errand. β
Speaking of this, Lu Weimang was a little depressed, she was also the master of the sixth grade in the court, but she didn't expect to go out on an errand, and she didn't even have the name of an errand, so she only let herself take care of Huo Jing. This made Lu Weimang's self-esteem a little frustrated.
"You didn't understand what Your Majesty meant. A few years ago, Jingyang Land only experienced bandits and did not experience wars, where the big families were deeply rooted, and they were everywhere. Your Majesty asked you to follow me, also so that the two of us can work together, and don't let those elders of the big clan find a chance to take advantage of loopholes. β
"Oh," Lu Weimang sneered, "I see. β
It seems that she is really only suitable for boring errands, because as long as the words of others are a little unclear, she can't understand them.
"Happy now?" Huo Jing looked at the little girl whose face suddenly brightened and said.
"Well, it's me who was too reckless to understand what you and Your Majesty mean." Lu Weimang took the initiative to review.
"It's also rare to be able to take the initiative to admit mistakes. Okay, let's go to dinner first, after eating, you will tidy up your salute again, you don't need to bring too much, there are doctors and people on the boat, we are not going to a small place like Qionglai this time, the land of Jingyang, where all the daily necessities are available, it can be said that there are all kinds of things, I can't say, it's better than Kyoto. β
"Hmm." Lu Weimang agreed with a smile, she was really impatient to bring a big bag of things, and now that she had Huo Jing's words, she had a bottom in her heart, and Lu Weimang was happy.
After eating, Huo Jing returned to Houfu. It can be said that he came and left in a hurry, Lu Weimang only cared about the happy rectification salute, and didn't notice it, but Lu Qingshan stroked his beard, becoming more and more satisfied with Huo Jing, and said to his two boys, "This Kyoto, no, in this world, who else can do it like Huo Hou?" You sister, you are really stupid and stupid. β
Changfeng was confused, and Cheng Yang was really thoughtful.
Early in the morning of the second day, the sky was bright, and Lu Weimang only brought a change of clothes and specially made toilet water, and went into battle lightly. After joining Huo Jing, he first rode to Tongzhou, and then took a boat down the canal.
Out of Kyoto, the world is wide, but Lu Weimang was only happy for one day, and he was full of bad luck.
"Let Changfeng's crow beak be right, I'm really seasick." Lu Weimang's uncomfortable temples suddenly dizzy, sitting in the room, lying on the table.
Huo Jing couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Lu Weimang so uncomfortable, "When the ship docks, let's ride there." β
Lu Weimang shook her head, she has always faced difficulties head-on, which made her occasionally suspect that she had some masochistic tendencies, "No need, take the boat faster, and, listening to the doctor, seasickness is a process, and after this effort, you won't get dizzy, I'll bear with it for a few more days, after all, it's going to Jingyang, and there will be many opportunities to take the boat in the future, and you can't get dizzy every time, so it will delay things." β
Hearing Lu Weimang say this, Huo Jing could only instruct the doctor who accompanied the ship to prescribe some medicine to relieve Lu Weimang's discomfort.
Lu Weimang, who drank the medicine, has been groggy all the time, and has been sleeping for most of the day, and his round little face has been a little haggard with the naked eye these days.
"There is no special medicine for seasickness, and the soothing soup prescribed to Lord Lu will not feel uncomfortable when I sleep."
Hearing what the doctor said, Huo Jing waved his hand to let the doctor go down, and sat on the edge of Lu Weimang's bed, frowning from time to time when he watched her fall asleep.
"This Miss Lu is a little lady in the end, she looks alive and well on weekdays, but she is sick at this time, and she looks very pitiful."
Lin Chen was heartless and speechless, and was interrupted by Ding Yi's elbow, "Young master, let's go and see if the japonica rice porridge under the kitchen is ready, Miss Lu will wake up in a while, you can eat some with her." β
"Go ahead." Huo Jing said, but his eyes were still looking at Lu Weimang.
Ding Yi pulled Lin Chen out, "What did I say wrong again?" Lin Chen was puzzled, Ding Yi hated that iron could not become steel, "The young master is worried, don't add fuel to the vinegar." β
The two of them whispered and walked out, Huo Jing was alone in the room, and couldn't help but smooth Lu Weimang's brow with his hand. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to forcibly drag Lu Weimang out with him, he only knew that it was too difficult to endure for more than half a year in Northern Xinjiang, and he was afraid that someone would take the lead and settle in Lu Weimang's heart first. Lu Weimang, who is good on his side, is slow and stubborn in dealing with feelings. If she has someone she likes, I'm afraid she will refuse everyone's approach for him. Therefore, this time, Jing Yang and his party, although it was hard, he would try his best to protect it, but he also wanted to take Lu Weimang with him.
"Maybe liking will make people possessive and suffer from gains and losses, I don't have the confidence to convince myself to let you leave me for half a year." Huo Jing whispered.
I heard that there are seven deadly sins of love: possessiveness, control, suspicion, narrow-mindedness, selfishness, sensitivity, suspicion
