"Except for the queen, Your Majesty and other elders, only my fiancée can call me Yuan Bai. I don't know what kind of rules you have, in front of my fiancée? ”

As soon as Huo Jing spoke, the women had nothing to say, Qiu Ling's face flashed with surprise and shyness, and then she came to Huo Jing again, "Huo Hou forgive me, I only came to Kyoto in recent years, when I was a child, I only heard Sister Mingyun talk about Huo Hou, after entering Beijing, I followed the second princess, everyone talked about the past, and they also screamed one by one, so I blurted out, Please Huo Hou don't be surprised."

This Miss Qiu Ling was gentle and careful to compensate Huo Jing, although her demeanor and tone were weak, she was also generous, and she was not twisted.

After saying this, the second princess stepped forward first, "Huo Hou is now bigger, even we can't call you "Yuan Bai"?" ”

The second princess looked calm, they grew up together since childhood, talking to each other, and there was a naturalness in their tone and demeanor that was difficult for others to reach.

Qiu Ling beside her looked yearning, as if she wanted to integrate into the social circle between the princess and Huo Hou through "Sister Mingyun".

"Of course not."

Huo Hou spoke to the second princess even more directly. The second princess was not annoyed when she heard this, she only got up and walked towards Huo Jing, "Okay, now that I know that you are taboo, I won't shout in the future." You little lady, you're pretty strict. ”

Lu Weimang shrugged his shoulders.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back today and won't bother you anymore. As for the shipping, we will discuss it after Miss Lu has decided on the candidate. ”

After speaking, the second princess took the third daughter and left. The three goddesses have different colors, and in the end they followed the second princess out of Chunxi Hall.

Everyone left, and Lu Weimang collapsed on the circle chair and sighed loudly.

"You're not sociable, so why bother with this thankless task?"

Huo Jing sat next to Lu Weimang, picked up the black tea on Lu Weimang's table, took a sip, and said.

Lu Weimang just felt tired and didn't pay attention to anything else. "Originally, I thought that the second princess and others spoke brightly and wanted to do something about it, but I just came up with an idea, but I didn't expect that I would make things simple."

Lu Weimang smiled bitterly, "The second princess has never done this before, and the people around her have different thoughts, so considering things is too complicated, once you start doing things, I'm afraid it will be half the effort." ”

Lu Weimang's idea is not unfounded. She has seen too many people with cool personalities, but they look ahead and backward when they start things, if there are "friends" with their own thoughts, and they come up with ideas, I am afraid that the final result will often not be good. I wanted to do something about it, but in the end, I couldn't do it, but I was hit by my ambition.

Huo Jing picked up the snacks on the table and put it in his mouth, and unceremoniously commented on the second princess, "She has been praised since she was a child because she is her aunt's daughter, you might as well do it yourself when you work with her, and you don't have to let the people around her drag her back." ”

Lu Weimang thought so, nodded, then got up and poured tea for Huo Jing diligently, "After reading the official document for a day, my eyes are sour, right?" Drink more tea, tea can brighten the eyes. ”

Lu Weimang has always been practical, if he doesn't need you, he doesn't even bother to say hello when he meets, but now he pours tea diligently, and his style can't be more obvious.

Huo Jing looked at the long-lost smile on Lu Weimang's face, and his heart was like a mirror, he only collapsed on the chair, and instructed Lu Weimang like an uncle, "This tea is cold, and the pastries are a little greasy." ”

Lu Weimang listened, didn't say a word, replaced the pot of tea that was hot on the red stove in the corner of Mingtang, poured a cup of hot tea for Huo Jing, and picked up the sweet potatoes on the side of the red stove with a tong, put it on the plate and brought it over.

"This sweet potato was put here when I went to the government in the morning. When it is dispersed, the roasted skin is browned and the inside is soft and glutinous. You taste it! ”

Lu Weimang picked up a roasted sweet potato with his hand, but he might as well that the sweet potato had been roasted with honey, and the honey was hot, Lu Weimang was coldly scalded, and hurriedly retracted his hand.

Huo Jing saw that Lu Weimang was burned, and he didn't paralyze anymore, so he hurriedly got up and took her fingers that were burned by sweet potato honey and put it in his mouth.

Lu Weimang's face turned red, and Huo Jing's face was still as usual, "This sweet potato juice is hotter than water vapor, why are you careless when you take sweet potatoes." Well, the juice is gone, and your hands are no longer hot. ”

Huo Jing pushed Lu Weimang's hand back in front of her eyes, Lu Weimang hurriedly withdrew his hand, pretending to nod calmly, "I was in a hurry just now, I didn't see it." ”

"Okay, what do you want to do, just say it." Huo Jing picked up the sweet potato, divided the roasted soft and glutinous brown sweet potato into two halves, put half into his mouth, and handed half to Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang took the sweet potato, and the discomfort just now disappeared, "I just want you to find someone to support the shipping with the second princess." ”

Diligence didn't make it, but his hands were burned, and Lu Weimang no longer insisted, and directly said his purpose.

Huo Jing listened, nodded, and the other hand that didn't hold the sweet potato had a brain collapse on Lu Weimang's forehead, "It's just such a thing, and it's still worth your courtesy?" ”

Lu Weimang smiled silently.

Huo Jing pondered, "If it is an ordinary noblewoman, I am afraid that the second princess will not accept it and will not listen." But there is one person who is quite suitable, I don't know if you are taboo? ”

"Who?"

"In the previous years, in the war, there was no shortage of nobles in Kyoto. Although their widows have a court pension, they are not enough in the end, and their lives are difficult. You can choose one of them to work with the second princess. In this way, the second princess is embarrassed to oppress people with her identity, it will be more convenient for them to cooperate, and secondly, if the widow of the noble comes, there will be fewer people to make up their minds about this ship in the future. ”

Lu Weimang nodded, she heard Huo Jing say this, and she didn't know why, she thought of the white lady who came to Lu Mansion to fight the autumn breeze when she first entered Beijing.

Of course, she is not among Lu Weimang's alternatives, but she just thinks that Madame Bai's identity is really useful, and she belongs to the kind that everyone will raise their hands when they encounter it.

"Here, this is my plan, after you have someone in your heart, give this plan to that person, and I will no longer interfere in the shipping in the future, and those dry shares can be regarded as giving to that lady."

"What? You've been working so hard for the past few days, and you've been sending it out for nothing? ”

Lu Weimang shook his head, "This ship sees that there are more and more people involved, and the more people there are, the more things will happen, and I am not worse than this, so why bother entanglement with them?" ”

Lu Weimang could already foresee that if the shipping could not be done, Lu Weimang would only waste a few days in vain. If the shipping is really done, the second princess, Xungui's widow, Liu Hui, Qiu Ling and others are not fuel-efficient lamps. Since ancient times, three women have played one play, and it is difficult to succeed with more shareholders. Lu Weimang is not short of money, so there is no need to make peace with them.

Lu Weimang promised the second princess at the beginning, but he was soft-hearted for a while, thinking that in this ancient time, there were finally women who were willing to be like herself, not trapped in the inner house, but wanted to make a career.

When people have been lonely for a long time, they want to find like-minded people.

But obviously, the two princesses are not the like-minded people that Lu Weimang thinks.

Timely stop loss is the principle of Lu Weimang's work. Although he has put in his hard work, but now he has withdrawn, but he wasted three days, if he continues to assist everyone to make the ship, after paying a lot of hard work, and then he and the second princess and others can foresee the inevitable contradictions, at that time the dilemma is really huge, in vain.

Seeing Lu Weimang's resolute attitude, Huo Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, wet the handkerchief with tea, wiped his hand that was stained with black ash by taking the sweet potato just now, and grabbed Lu Weimang's hand and wiped it carefully.

Lu Weimang was uncomfortable, but he still let Huo Jing serve.

"You and I are both lonely people. When people have been lonely for a long time, they inevitably want to find the same kind. But in this world, not everyone can be like-minded with us. If you go with expectations, you will inevitably be frustrated. In this world, it is not easy to have a like-minded person, you don't want to be greedy, and when the time comes, it will be in vain. ”

Huo Jing lowered his head, Lu Weimang couldn't see the look on his face clearly, but he could detect his mood from his cold tone.

"You have seen me jumping up and down these days to find information and write plans, did you expect this to be the result?"

Huo Jing raised his head and smiled slyly, "Fortunately, you realized this earlier than I thought. ”

"What if I go all the way to the dark?"

Lu Weimang was puzzled.

Huo Jing still had a smile on his face, but it was different from the past, as if with some meaning, "You won't." How much effort did it take me to get to you? You may reach out to people on a whim, but calm down and you'll find that they're far from what you expected. You can face a lot of problems, but you can't get tired of the intrigues between people. When the time comes, you will take the initiative to stay away from them and return to your original intention. ”

Lu Weimang listened, raised his forehead and smiled, avoiding Huo Jing's eyes, "You know me better than I thought." ”

Huo Jing pulled Lu Weimang to his side and looked at her, so that Lu Weimang's eyes couldn't be avoided, and he could only look at him.

"When I was a child, I was with the second princess and them, and when I didn't know anything, I felt that the most meaningful thing every day was to play with my brothers. Later, when my father had an accident, I realized that they were just passers-by in my life, and the people who really mattered to me, who could empathize with me and share weal and woe, were not them. You said that family members are not chosen, but those who come into their own lives can choose. How lucky we are to meet each other and choose each other to be "our own people". So, I hope I'm special to you. You're special to me, you know? ”

How sensitive Huo Jing's mind is, Lu Weimang knows it.

She had only just noticed his "terrible" desire for exclusivity and control before he convinced her again.

"yes, I know."

Lu Weimang never doubted that Huo Jing was special to him, because he never shied away from expressing this.

"So are you."

Lu Weimang said. Huo Jing looked at the girl in front of him and laughed.

These three words made him down-to-earth.
