Chapter 3, Encounter
Chu Luan naturally knew that Chu Xu did not continue the string, Chu Xu was rigid and stubborn, and it was impossible to continue the string. In addition, the Guogong Mansion may not let him continue the string. Chu Luan asked just to know why she had an extra pair of brothers out of thin air, but her mother only gave birth to her.
This Chu Liang and Chu Ling are a pair of orphans adopted by Chu Xu in his early years, and everyone in the capital knows about it. Chu Xu was really good to them, as if he was born to him. This kind of problem is a bit difficult, I adopted two children, but my own daughter didn't know it. Everyone watching the play is generally not willing to help.
"For the father's love for your mother, how can you continue the string? You just have to remember that they are your older brother and younger brother. Both have the surname Chu, and they are all family. ”
Chu Luan agreed quietly on her face, but her heart was like falling into an ice cave, she was not really heartless and ruthless, how could she have no expectations. For so many years, I haven't seen a letter from home, and I don't even know when I have more brothers, so I asked her to admit it as soon as I came, where would I be willing?
The housekeeper Du Bo came to break the deadlock, "Master Hou, girl, son, the table has been prepared and you can sit at the table." ”
Chu Xu went to invite everyone to the table, and Chu Liang also accompanied him to help one or two.
Leaving Chu Luan and Chu Ling silent, inexplicably embarrassed. The two of them stood there stupidly, with the momentum of trying to consume each other.
"Girl, you have been traveling all the way, why don't you go down with the old slave to freshen up and then enter the table?" Duber asked.
Chu Luan nodded and went with him.
Chu Luan's residence is in the West Garden, the scenery here is also chic, the facilities are readily available, the most satisfying thing for Chu Luan is the laurel tree outside the door, now it is about to enter autumn, it is a good season.
Chu Luan didn't use the people in the house, but asked Daisy to help her clean up, wearing a blue Luo skirt. With some simple walking and hair accessories on the head, it is delicate but not cumbersome. The willow eyebrows are delicate and graceful, and the fox eyes are full of calculations, and they are not as pleasing as those gentle boudoir women.
After cleaning up, someone came to summon him. Chu Luan took a fan embroidered with osmanthus and went to the banquet. Chu Xu was talking to someone and was happy, and when he saw Chu Luan coming, he immediately asked her to come to the ceremony.
Today's talk of some dignitaries and dignitaries, but they are all officials below the third grade, and they will not be easily labeled as forming a party for personal gain.
As soon as Chu Luan sat down, he heard a hearty laugh, "Hahahaha, it's late." I saw a man in green clothes smiling uninhibitedly, and there was a group of young men and women behind him. Chu Luan raised his eyes and saw at a glance the man in white crane brocade, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, unable to see emotions, and handsome.
He...... So familiar. This is Chu Luan's first feeling, since she was reborn, she has forgotten too many things, in the past life, in this life. But this person felt so familiar to her, which made her a little uneasy.
Chu Xu stepped forward to greet him, "It turned out to be King Yongning, Gu Gongzi, and General He." ”
King Yongning, is he King Weili of Yongning? Did they cross paths in their previous lives?
"Ah Luan, come and see King Yongning."
Chu Luan retracted his presumptuous gaze and stood up to salute.
Chu Luan had just returned to the capital, and the people who came to congratulate him were all Chu Xu's friends in the officialdom or people who were not very familiar with him. There are not even a few female dependents, and even Gu Yan, He Ying and others are here to take care of face because they usually get close to Chu Liang. The Guogong Mansion and the Zhenbei Houfu are also in frequent contact on weekdays, but they didn't come yesterday, which is also obvious. There is also Yong'an Palace, obviously the marriage contract is not a secret, and she didn't come, maybe no one wants her to come back at all.
In the evening, Chu Luan sat in the courtyard and began to miss Jiangnan a little, people are like this, staying in a place where no one cares, the thoughts in your heart become the best comfort and protection, at least you can know that you are also cared about, not alone.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves of the osmanthus tree made a swaying sound and fell one after another. One of the dead leaves happened to fall in Chu Luan's palm, Chu Luan observed carefully, this dead leaf was not good-looking, and the leaf surface was not complete, but a corner was missing, and there was some dust on it.
When Zhixia came out with the cloak, he looked at the scene of Chu Luan sitting there with a dead leaf, and he vaguely felt a little lonely.
She came back to her senses when the cloak was placed on Chu Luan's body, threw away the dead leaves in her hand, and smiled, "What time is it?" ”
"It's time."
Chu Luan was stunned, he had been sitting here for an hour unconsciously, no wonder he felt a little tired. She looked up at the boundless night, grasping the dead leaves and pointing to the morning star in the sky,。。 "You see, that star is not as bright as Jiangnan."
The star is the same star, the only difference is the state of mind.
"Does the girl want to go back to Jiangnan?" Zhixia saw through what she thought, "The national teacher and Lord Qin, Zhang Gongzi is estimated to be here in a few days, and then Miss Yunu and Miss Qin and Miss Bai will come." ”
Chu Luan shook his head, "Forget it, go and rest." ”
The next day, the sky was about to break, and Chu Luan got up. Daisy yawned and came in sleepy-eyed to serve. "Ha-girl, why don't you sleep a little more after you were tired yesterday?"
Falling asleep is just some broken nightmares, so it's better to wake up earlier.
"Girl." Zhixia came in with hot water, "The girl told me to inquire about everything I understand. ”
Chu Luan nodded and listened quietly.
"Gu Yan is the fourth son of Gu Yin, the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is rumored that he has a good relationship with He Ying and He Ningyu, and the relationship between the two seems to have been a certainty. This He Ying is the granddaughter of the old general of the former dynasty, when the son of the old general He died in the battle with General Wei and the eldest princess in the northern Xinjiang, the old general He returned to his hometown with the bones, leaving He Ying and his brother to depend on each other. As for Wang Weili of Yongning, although he lost his father and mother at a young age, the emperor and queen are both fond of him and have a family, and the queen mother also cares for him. King Yongning is also a competitive person, he began to go to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and he has been regarded as a great military achievement in the past few years. ”
Chu Luan laughed at herself after hearing this, she was all injured at a young age, why was she the only one who was abandoned and alienated by her relatives.
Daisy didn't understand why Chu Luan smiled bitterly, and she didn't know how to persuade her. Zhixia is transparent, but he can't speak, and he doesn't know what to do.
"Well, let's go and say goodbye to my father now."
