XXXIX

Knowing who the woman who was carried into the Huo Mansion was, the hidden ink masters in the capital were quiet, as if nothing had happened.

But the people who knew who the woman was, the discussion became more and more lively.

Someone even asked in front of Lu Hanlin's door.

Although the capital is very large and there are many Hanlin officials, there is a Hanlin surnamed Lu who is extremely famous.

From the moment he entered Beijing, he was noticed, and then he was appointed by the emperor to travel through the streets, the face of an ordinary man flashed to the people, and the face of the beautiful young Hanlin was really unforgettable.

"It turned out to be Lu Hanlin's sister."

"Lu Hanlin is so beautiful, his sister must be very beautiful, no wonder Huo Dudu is willing to save him."

In the end, in front of the official's door, the discussion was very low, and the ordinary people passing by did not dare to stop, but those small sounds, the crowd that seemed to have no intention of gathering at the mouth of the alley, made the servants behind the door anxious.

"Get rid of them all." A little guy whispered.

The older servant looked helpless: "How to rush?" Childe became an official, but this is not an official office, and we didn't buy the street. ”

Another guy muttered, "Then buy the street." ”

Buying is buying, but is that something that can be bought? The old servant glared at the little servant to reprimand, and there was a knock on the door, and the three people standing behind the door were all smart.

"At home? Miss Xiahou is here. ”

Fortunately, a female voice came from outside the door in time.

The three servants came back to their senses, hurriedly opened the door, and saw Miss Xiahou's maidservant standing in front of the door with Miss Xiahou.

The three servants hurriedly greeted each other.

"Childe is at home." The old servant said.

There were a lot of people who came to visit the door in the past two days, but Childe refused, and the servants thought about what reason to use, but Childe said a very perfunctory and false reason, and was frightened.

Hearing this reason, the guests did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, and took their leave with some sympathy.

But when Miss Xiahou comes, she doesn't have to give this reason, and she doesn't even need to report it and bring it in directly.

The maidservant girl was also carrying a gift box in her hand.

"Miss came and brought gifts." One of the servants said, "Our son must be very happy." ”

It's just that this gift box is a bit too gorgeous, not like Miss Xiahou's style.

In any case, it is much better for Miss Xiahou to bring gifts than to come with anger.

When that happened, I thought Miss Xiahou would be very angry.

Miss Xiahou didn't say anything when she looked at him, and went straight in.

As Miss Xiahou got out of the car, there were a lot of eyes outside the alley, and the old servant quickly closed the door, blocking these sights and some whispers.

"Is that young lady Miss Lu?"

"You are really a foreigner, that is Miss Xiahou."

"Miss Xiahou is here to visit Miss Lu, and she brought a gift."

……

……

A gorgeous gift box was placed on the table.

Lu Yizhi, who was wearing a homely robe, looked at the gift box and raised his hand.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." He said.

Although some people saw Huo Lian carrying a young lady into the door, some people may not see that the young lady went home again, one night, in the carriage driven out of a certain metropolitan judge.

This is how the servants of the Lu family declared it to the outside world.

Since Miss Lu is at home, Miss Xiahou must bring a gift when she comes to visit.

Miss Xiahou sat down: "It's just for show, the fact that Miss Lu is not at home can't be hidden." ”

She accentuated her tone on Miss Lu's three words, and looked directly at Lu Yizhi with a pair of eyes.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, she heard the news, she did not come to see Lu Yizhi immediately, and Lu Yizhi did not go to Xiahou Mansion, and waited for another day, until today on the eighteenth day of the first month, Miss Xiahou came in person.

Putting aside the rest for the time being, who Miss Lu is, she must always give her an explanation.

Lu Yizhi met her gaze and said, "Yes, Miss Seven Stars." ”

Sure enough, Miss Xiahou thought to herself, strange, she didn't seem to be angry, but she sighed in her heart again, she guessed right again.

Lu Yizhi's voice echoed in his ears.

"Aqing, she said that she repaired the lanterns, but she couldn't go to see them in person because she was a craftsman, so she begged me to take her to see the lanterns."

"I said that after reading this, I have no regrets and leave the capital."

"I pitied her and wanted her to leave quickly, so I agreed."

Speaking of this, Lu Yizhi sighed.

"Sure enough, if you do something that goes against common sense, there will definitely be problems."

"Who would have thought that when I came to the stage to compose poems for His Majesty, she would cause such trouble."

Miss Xiahou listened quietly, as if she wanted to say something, but there seemed to be nothing to say, he said it reasonably and blamed herself.

Lu Yizhi looked at her and bowed again: "I've caused trouble for you too." ”

Looking at the son who sincerely apologized, Miss Xiahou sighed softly: "Don't talk about this, what should I do now." ”

Even if it is an injury or a disease, it should not live in someone else's home, and it is not homeless.

It's only been three days, and the rumors in the city have become strange, and if you wait any longer, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable.

"She may have behaved inappropriately and caused trouble." Miss Xiahou continued, "But, you can't just say that she is not your sister and leave it alone. ”

Lu Yizhi looked at her, saluted again, and didn't say anything, but Miss Xiahou could feel his respect.

Miss Xiahou avoided him and said, "You don't have to respect me, even if she is not your sister, she has a relationship with you, and if you ignore it, it will not be good for her, and it will not be good for you." ”

"Senior sister should be respected." Lu Yizhi said, and then smiled bitterly: "I handed over the post to the Metropolitan Inspectorate the next day, like a stone sinking into the sea." ”

The Metropolitan Inspectorate has always been elusive, especially Huo Lian, who is fearless and reckless.

Miss Xiahou shook her hand: "It's not okay to just hand over the post, they will pretend not to see it, I will go to Huo Mansion with you, unless it is a crime, Huo Lian has no reason not to let his relatives meet." ”

Lu Yizhi did not dissuade and refuse, how could he let a noble girl set foot in the Huo Mansion, he just looked at her and nodded vigorously: "Okay." ”

True love is not necessarily that you protect me and I protect you, sometimes it is heart-to-heart to be able to walk side by side and face the wind and rain hand in hand, Miss Xiahou looked at Lu Yizhi, and her face, which had been tense after entering the door, softened.

"Don't worry." She said, giving him another look, "Can you make up your mind to send her away this time?" ”

Lu Yizhi smiled bitterly: "Certainly, I will never stay again, and I can't stay anymore." Speaking of this, he said, "However, this matter is related to Huo Lian, and it happened at the lantern banquet, before going to Huo Mansion, I want to ask to see Your Majesty." ”

Your Majesty? Miss Xiahou nodded: "It's okay, maybe Your Majesty doesn't know that people are still in Huo Mansion." ”

At the Imperial City banquet, it was said that Huo Lian sent people away, and a normal person would think that it would naturally be sent back to the young lady's own home.

The situation seen outside spread around, and the emperor in the deep palace who was in charge of everything he did not necessarily know.

Everyone is afraid of or flattering Huo Lian, and they will not take the initiative to tell the emperor this.

Lu Yizhi held Miss Xiahou's hand: "You wait for me at home first." ”

Although they have been together for so long, this is the first time that their skin has touched, Miss Xiahou's face turned red, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand and looked at him with disgust: "I know." And he said no more, and went out.

The maidservants standing outside the hall hurriedly followed.

"Yi, Miss, why is your face so red?"

"Did you catch a cold?"

The master and servant whispered away, and Lu Yizhi stood in the hall and watched, watching the figure and voice disappear.

The surroundings were quiet again, and Lu Yizhi's face slowly returned to emptiness.

I don't know how long I stood there, and no servant dared to come in and disturb him, until Lu Yizhi opened his mouth and called, "Someone is coming." ”

The little guy who was hiding hurriedly came in and answered.

"Prepare the carriage and horses, I want to enter the palace." He said.

The little girl was a little nervous, and couldn't help asking, "Does the prince want to enter the palace to explain to His Majesty?" ”

Lu Yizhi hummed.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and said hurriedly: "Yes, you must make it clear to Your Majesty, we have nothing to do with her, it is she who pesters the son, this will always cause trouble, maybe she will be caught by Huo Dudu in the imperial city, and let Huo Dudu punish her." ”

Lu Yizhi stopped him from making noise, changed his official robe, and got on a carriage and rode to the imperial city.

……

……

Although the early dynasty has resumed today, it is still very leisurely in the first month.

The emperor sat in the imperial study, and did not discuss court affairs with the ministers today, but only quietly reviewed the chapters, probably because he was used to daily work, and always felt that he was not suitable for something, until he put down his pen and drank tea, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black and gold robe standing in the hall.

This is the unique costume of the Metropolitan Judge, and it was given by him.

The emperor stroked his palm and remembered that something was wrong.

"Zhu Chuan." He shouted.

Zhu Chuan, who was standing in the hall staring at the door, immediately turned around, stood in front of Long Eucalyptus with a knife, bowed down and asked, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Seeing that he looked like he was about to cut off someone's head, the emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong with you all governors, what's wrong?" He asked, "I remember that he said he was going to take leave." ”

Zhu Chuan sighed and said, "It's not that the governor is uncomfortable, there is one person who is unwell, and we are all worried and guarding at home." ”

The emperor sighed, there is only one person in the world who can make Huo Lian worry.

But this person bar.

The Emperor frowned.

Zhu Chuan saw it and smiled: "Your Majesty guessed wrong." ”

The emperor was stunned, guessed wrong? Looking at Zhu Chuanxiao's proud appearance, he was not angry, the guards were equivalent to his personal slaves, and it was normal to be closer than other courtiers.

"It's the newcomers who worry us all." Zhu Chuan continued, and winked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, guess who?" ”

An inexplicable thought slipped through him, and the emperor opened his mouth and said, "Lu Hanlin's sister." ”

Zhu Chuan exclaimed: "Your Majesty is really a saint." ”

Really, the emperor's eyes were surprised, and he shouted: "Nonsense." ”
