Chapter 7: When Ling Yun first arrived at the Hou Ye's Mansion, he seemed familiar
said that Lu Qiuyue was blocked at the gate of the Hou Ye's mansion, and when she was embarrassed, suddenly a young man came out to relieve her.
Lu Qiuyue couldn't help but be surprised and happy when she saw him: "You are Gongzi Jiang?" β
The young man nodded with a smile and said, "It's exactly below." β
It turned out that the young man in front of him was named Jiang Chun, and Lu Qiuyue had a two-sided relationship with him before.
The first encounter was in a beautiful spring. In the countryside of the suburbs, red flowers and green trees, grass and warblers fly.
She and the two girls were flying kites, and when they were in high spirits, the long line suddenly broke, and the kite hung on the tree. When the three girls were at a loss, it was he who flew up the branch and took down the kite......
The second encounter was on the streets of the capital. At that time, she came back from Xiangguo Temple, surrounded by the guards and family, and walked on the way back to her house by flower marriage.
At this moment, a frightened horse rushed to the front, and immediately sat a young man in brocade clothes, holding the horse's neck with both hands, and shouting as he ran: "Get out of the way!" The horse was shocked! Get out of the way! β¦β¦β
The fierce horse galloped, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of Lu Qiuyue's sedan chair.
The guards on both sides were stunned by the sudden formation in front of them, and it was too late to dodge, seeing that a tragedy was about to happen.
At the last moment, it was this Jiang Gongzi who stepped forward, stopped the fierce horse, and saved her......
At this time, Jiang Chun saw that Lu Qiuyue's master and servant were stopped by He Zhong and couldn't get off the stage, so he turned his face to He Luwei and said, "Steward He, these two are my friends, because they are in a hurry to go out and don't prepare to pay their respects, can you go in with me?" β
He Luwei said with a smile: "Why did Martial Master Jiang say this. Since he is a friend of Martial Master Jiang, he is naturally a distinguished guest of our Hou Ye's Mansion, hurry up and invite him inside! β
This time, it was this Jiang Gongzi who came forward to relieve Lu Qiuyue when she was very embarrassed, and Lu Qiuyue couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude and good feelings for Jiang Chun from the bottom of her heart.
As soon as Jiang Chun entered the hall, he was spotted by his brother-in-law, Xiao Yongnian, who was looking for him, and walked over and grabbed him and said, "Third brother, where did you go just now?" Let's find it. Lord Ding is angry, go and make amends to Lord Ding! β
Jiang Chun had no choice but to walk over and apologize to Ding Jinzhi.
Ding Jinzhi said coldly: "That's it! β
Jiang Chun apologized to his eldest brother Luo Zhenyi again. Then in the name of pouring wine, he turned to Lu Qiuyue again.
Lu Qiuyue raised her head, glanced at him coldly and said, "It's been a long time, it turns out that you are from Dingfu!" Oh, that's a clumsy look! β
Jiang Chun saw that Lu Qiuyue was unhappy, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know how to speak, so he just said, "Miss Lu......"
Lu Qiuyue gave him a blank look, turned her face away, and ignored him.
The banquet in He Mansion had already begun. The evergreen princess entertained the ladies of the official office in the back hall; He Yuting controlled the overall situation in the front hall; His two sons, He Chenglin and He Chengqi, were also busy helping their father greet the guests and friends.
Of course, at this banquet, the eldest prince He Chenglin is the absolute protagonist. Under the guidance of his father, he greeted and toasted with the Chinese military officials, relatives and friends. He greeted them with a spring breeze on his face, behaved and spoke generously, and acted thoughtfully and politely.
When these procedures were over, He Yuting pulled Ding Jinzhi in front of him again, and said with a smile: "In-laws, is our agreement twenty years ago still counted?" β
He Yuting's words made Ding Jinzhi can't help but think of the fact that He Chenglin, the eldest prince of the Mansion, and his daughter Ding Mengxuan set up a baby kiss on his daughter's first birthday twenty years ago, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Count, of course count!" Now, Hou Ye's father and son are reunited, the family is reunited, and they enjoy their family; The marriage between He Gongzi and the little girl, of course, has to fulfill the previous contract! Isn't this a double blessing? β
He Yuting said: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" How about asking the housekeeper to check the auspicious day and exchange Geng posts on another day? - Lin'er, don't meet Tarzan yet! β
He Chenglin walked over, slammed Ding Jinyi to the ground, and said, "My father-in-law is above, please bow to my son-in-law!" β
Ding Jinzhi smiled and hurriedly helped.
The hall was filled with a congratulatory voice, congratulating the Hou Ye father and son on the reunion, the dragon and the phoenix were auspicious, and the double happiness was coming.
He Yuting smiled, and his heart was full of joy. The guests and friends were also drinking happily, and the sound of punching orders was endless.
Although Lu Qiuyue was not very happy that Jiang Chun hid her identity from Dingfu to her, after all, she was a girl's heart, and her playful heart prevailed, and she quickly forgot about the pleasure just now.
With the help of Jiang Chun, she and Caiming found a remote corner away from Lu Wenzheng and sat down.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Lu Qiuyue did not dare to make too unbridled loud noises. Despite this, Lu Qiuyue is also full of relish and interest.
She didn't know that she only cared about her own happiness, but she was anxious about the mother of the house, Mrs. Lu, Yan.
Mrs. Lu was very lonely in the room alone, so she wanted to find her daughter to relieve her boredom.
When she asked the girl Xiuming to call Lu Qiuyue over, Xiuming was stunned for a long time, and was forced to say helplessly: "Miss and Caiming went out to play." β
Mrs. Lu was furious: "Little minion, why don't you come back and forth earlier?" β
Xiuming was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a normal sound: "Miss said that she will come back in a while, so that the slave maid does not alarm you......"
"How can it be!" Mrs. Lu knew that it was useless to be angry at this time, so she asked, "Where did Miss go?" β
Xiuming trembled and said, "Hou Yefu." β
Only then did Mrs. Lu understand her daughter's intentions, she was angry and anxious, and shouted: "Come on, come on!" β
Mrs. Lu's eldest girl, Lan Zhu, said, "Madam, who do you want to find?" β
Mrs. Lu groaned for a moment and said, "This ...... Dong Wu and Yuan Ping are not in the house? β
Lan Zhu said: "They went to the Hou Ye Mansion with the master." β
Mrs. Lu said, "What about Yang Zhen?" β
Lan Zhu said: "I heard Rong'er say that there was a case in the west of the city today, and he went to handle the case early in the morning." β
"What about Mr. Xu?"
"He went with Yang Zhen!"
Mrs. Lu was a little angry. She is a woman, and she does not participate in the political affairs of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, so most of the guards in the palace can't be called by name. She had no choice but to ask, "What about ...... Who else is in the house? β
Lan Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Oh, it seems that Commander Ling is still in the mansion. β
Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, invite Commander Ling over immediately!" β
Ling Yun really didn't want to go to the Hou Ye's Mansion to see Lu Wenzheng, he was still angry with him for the matter of leave; And a few days ago, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Lu Qiuyue because of going to the Hou Ye's Mansion, and now he really doesn't want to provoke her again.
It's just that Mrs. Lu gave orders, and she spoke sincerely, he really couldn't shirk it.
This is the first time Ling Yun has come to the Hou Ye Mansion.
He joined the government at the age of eighteen, and has been following Master Lu to handle cases in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department for five years, during which he inevitably dealt with He Yuting, Ding Jinzhi and others, but most of them were in the court; There are very few times when they come to these big official mansions.
When he arrived at the gate of the house, he handed a prayer note to the housekeeper He Luwei.
He Luwei took the greeting post and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out that Commander Ling was here, what a disappointment!" Hurry inside, please! Brother Ling has been here for a long time, and he must be waiting for you inside. β
Ling Yun was stunned: "Brother Ling? β¦β¦β
He Luwei said: "Yes, he said that his name is Ling Feng - what, Commander Ling, is there something wrong?" β
Ling Yun thought for a moment, and immediately understood a little, thinking: This Miss Lu is really good, and she is actually swaggering everywhere in my name...... I couldn't help but laugh angrily in my heart.
He Luwei smiled and said, "It's nothingβby the way, please ask the housekeeper to help me check which seat Master Lu is in, and Ling Yun will report something to him." β
He Luwei hurriedly asked people to check and told Ling Yun; Ling Yun thanked him, walked all the way, and walked straight to the reception hall.
The Hou Ye's Mansion is from the original Horse Mansion renovated and expanded, and it is really magnificent and magnificent.
Lingyun traveled all the way, only to see the pavilions and pavilions along the way, small bridges and flowing water, scattered and scattered, and so on, revealing a trace of warmth and familiarity in the beauty and beauty.
Ling Yun's heart suddenly trembled and he stopped. Looking at the beautiful scenery here, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He seemed to feel that the courtyards of the houses here, every grass and tree, were so familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
Where have you seen it? His brow furrowed, and he painstakingly searched every corner of his brain for that fleeting thought.
In a dream! His eyes suddenly lit up, yes, he had been here in a dream!
For some reason, he had the same dream more than once.
In his dreams, he often came to a place, where the pavilions, the courtyards of the houses, were all vivid and clear, and the scenes here seemed to be similar, but they were similar......
It can be said that the scene in his dream has finally found a prototype here, but why is that? β¦β¦
Ling Yun just stood there and pondered, forgetting the purpose of his trip. It wasn't until someone called him that he came back from his contemplation.
The person who called him was Yuan Ping, the captain of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department. Today, Yuan Ping and Dong Wu accompanied Master Lu to the banquet here, and Yuan Ping came out of the banquet and happened to meet Ling Yun who was in a daze here.
Ling Yun relieved himself and smiled awkwardly at him.
Yuan Ping said: "Brother Ling, you are not guarding the mansion today, what are you doing here?" β
After being reminded by Yuan Ping, Ling Yun remembered the purpose of coming here today, patted his head and shouted "Oops", and hurriedly ran towards the reception hall.
Only Yuan Ping was left standing there in confusion.
However, it was said that Ling Yun entered the reception hall, and saw that the hall was crowded with people, and all the guests pushed cups and changed lamps, and they were staggered, so it was not lively.
He came to Lu Wenzheng's table according to the seat provided by He Lu.
At this time, Lu Wenzheng was drinking with the courtiers, Ling Yun had already arrived, Lu Wenzheng pretended not to see him, and was still pushing the cup with someone to change the lamp.
Ling Yun was helpless, so he had to shout, "My lord." β
Lu Wenzheng feigned surprise and said, "Oh? β¦β¦ Commander Ling, are you calling me? I thought the sun was coming out in the west, didn't you swear to ignore me again? β
Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh angrily. He took a step forward and whispered in Lu Wenzheng's ear: "My lord, Miss Lu ran away from the mansion, according to the girl, she came to the Hou Ye's mansion, have you seen her?" β
"What?" Now Lu Wenzheng has no time to joke anymore: "This girl, it's too unusual!" Outrageous! Too unreasonable! Too rude! β
Ling Yun hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, let me find it." β
After speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that He Yuting's personal friend He Zhong was busy greeting guests from all walks of life, so he walked up to him and bowed his hand and said: "This brother is polite in Lingyun." β
Before He Zhong could reply, a young man next to him had already walked over and arched his hand: "Oh, it turns out that Your Excellency is the famous Ling Commander!" I heard that your martial arts are world-renowned, known as 'the world's first sword', and you are courteous in Ding Jiying. β
Ling Yun had something in his heart, and how could he have the heart to talk to him, so he just responded perfunctorily: "Oh, it turned out to be Ding Gongzi." β
Ding Jiying was very enthusiastic: "Commander Ling, I have admired you for a long time, and it is really a blessing to meet you today!" Since childhood, I love to practice martial arts, can Ling Commander ......?"
Ling Yun said: "I'll talk about martial arts training later, I'm here to find someone now." β
Saying that, he turned his face back and said to He Zhong: "Brother Tai, I am presumptuous, can I ask for a look?" β
He Zhong said: "Commander Ling, I guessed if you didn't say it, you came to find Ling Brother Ling Feng, right?" β
Ling Yun was stunned, and immediately reacted, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, where is he now?" β
He Zhong said: "Fang was just at the banquet against the wall in the south. β
Ling Yun looked back, but the table was already empty.
Ling Yun shouted, "Oops. He spun around and walked quickly to the door.
Ding Jiying saw that Ling Yun's body was like electricity, and his posture was extremely chic and elegant, so he couldn't help but applaud: "What a fast body, such a beautiful posture!" If I had such skills, I would have no regrets in my life! β
At this time, He Chengqi walked up: "Brother Ding, what are you muttering about?" β
The Ding and He families have been friends for generations, and these two sons also have a deep friendship.
At that moment, Ding Jiying dragged He Chengqi: "Don't ask first, follow me!" There's another good show. β
Ding Jiying is usually bored in the house, and he is particularly interested in this exciting and mysterious thing.
Lu Qiuyue really deliberately avoided Ling Yun's pursuit.
As soon as she saw Ling Yun enter the hall just now, she knew that something was wrong, and whispered to Jiang Chun: "Brother Jiang, things are not good, Ling Yun is here, he wants to arrest me back!" ----Let's get out of the way! β
Jiang Chun couldn't resist Lu Qiuyue's pleading, and hurriedly dragged her out the door.
Cai Ming originally followed behind like a little tail, but later he was out of breath and only dragged the two of them back.
Lu Qiuyue was anxious: "Caiming, do you want to put us in together, won't you stay behind and break the queen?" β
Cai Ming was stunned and said, "What, I...... After the break? β
Lu Qiuyue said: "That's right! After a while, when Ling Yun catches up, you have to stand up, be witty and brave, and do everything possible to entangle him. Of course, you can't betray us! No matter what he does to you, you have to keep your faith and keep your mouth shut, you know? β
"Yes! ......" Cai Ming agreed while muttering to himself: "Oh my God, who is Commander Ling, is it worth guarding against him like this?" β
Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue ran for a while, and Jiang Chun stopped first, "Miss Lu, what are we, how can we be like thieves." Don't run! β
Lu Qiuyue said: "Don't you run?" If Lingyun comes......"
Jiang Chun said: "What's wrong with Lingyun, is it so terrifying?" β
Lu Qiuyue said: "Isn't it scary? Can you beat him? β
Jiang Chun said: "I'm just trying to compete with him!" β¦β¦β
Jiang Chun wanted to continue, but he felt that Lu Qiuyue was dragging him hard. He looked back and saw that Ling Yun was already standing behind him at some point.
