For the people of Huaizhou, this spring has a peculiar feeling.

Dongyang Road in the north has been transformed into Dingzhou of Daqi, the Governor's Mansion, the Assassin's Mansion and the official offices at all levels have been established in full swing, and the registration and sorting of the Yellow Book of People and the Land Atlas have been vigorously launched.

Huaizhou is relatively calm, and everything is as usual in previous years.

Whether it is a gentry or a peddler's pawn, the biggest feeling of the people living in Huaizhou is that they do not have to worry about the Yanjing army suddenly going south in the future, and they do not have to wait for the security line all the time, because Dingzhou has completely blocked the northern border of Huaizhou.

In general, it is a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Lai'an City in the north of Huaizhou, Lujia Courtyard.

In the bright spring light, a young woman sat on a chair under the porch, bathing in the warm sunlight while holding a book and reading carefully.

She is wearing a light-colored emerald cigarette shirt today, with a pleated skirt of scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, and a loose cloud bun with three thousand green silks, and a jasper and phoenix hairpin are obliquely inserted.

A pair of warm autumn water eyes, two slender spring mountain moth eyebrows, skin is better than snow, and the charm is natural.

In all fairness, Wang Chulong is not the kind of woman who is fascinated at first sight, among all the women Lu Shen has seen in this world, perhaps only Gu Wan'er, the Oiran of the capital, has this ability, but Gu Wan'er is beautiful, but if you look closely, you will feel that there is a little less substance.

Wang Chulong is not, she belongs to the beauty who gets along for a longer time, the more she can discover the beautiful characteristics of her, this kind of beauty impregnated by poetry and books, and the beauty contained in sentiment is like the ancient scrolls and classics she is holding in her hand at the moment, full of eternal and profound connotations.

Jin Shu walked into the courtyard quickly, and after seeing Wang Chulong's posture immersed in the book, he subconsciously slowed down, walked up softly, and called, "Miss." ”

Wang Chulong raised his head, looked at the unconcealable joy between her eyebrows, and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”

Jin Shu said with a little excitement: "Miss, it is rumored outside, Lu Gongzi led the army to withdraw from Heluo and returned to Dingzhou, I heard that this battle has gained a lot." The maid was thinking, Mr. Lu might be able to come back soon, and the young lady would be able to see him then! ”

Wang Chulong quipped: "Why do I think you want him to come back sooner than I do?" ”

Jin Shu's cheeks were slightly red, and he said coyly: "Miss, the maid is obviously anxious about you." I heard that Lu Gongzi led his troops into Heluo City, and the maid was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, for fear that the pampered young masters in the family would offend him, and the young lady and Lu Gongzi would be unhappy. God forbid, nothing happened. ”

"You like to worry about nothing."

Wang Chulong shook his head with a smile and said softly: "In order to seek the acceptance of the Son of Heaven in the south, my uncle doesn't know how much effort and capital he has paid, how can he allow the brothers in the family to mess around?" ”

Jin Shu finally noticed that something was not quite right at this moment.

She looked at Wang Chulong's face and asked cautiously, "Miss, aren't you happy?" ”

Wang Chulong held the scroll in his left hand, stared at the early spring scenery of the new buds in the courtyard, and said slowly: "How can you not be happy? Through this battle, Lu Gongzi proved the strength of the border army to the imperial court, and presumably there will be less resistance to the Northern Expedition in the future. He must have seen his uncle and father in Heluo City, and I believe that with the wisdom of him and his uncle, he will definitely be able to reach the intention of continuing to cooperate. ”

"But Miss ......"

Jin Shu knew that she was not the kind of person who was moody, but after following Miss for so many years, she could feel a faint sadness in Wang Chulong's words at this moment.

Wang Chulong didn't deliberately sell Guanzi, and said calmly: "Silly girl, because your young lady's next situation will be very embarrassing." ”

"Huh?"

Jin Shu became more and more confused.

She didn't understand where this sentence came from, according to what Miss Fang just said, Lu Gongzi and the royal family got along very well, how could Miss's situation become more embarrassing?

Wang Chulong said unhurriedly: "Because the border army has recovered the entire territory of Dongyang Road, there is no longer a barrier between Huaizhou and Baotai Mountain, and Miss Lin can marry Huaizhou justifiably." If I guessed correctly, Miss Lin should be by Lu Gongzi's side at this moment. The two of them met in Weimo, and they have experienced so many ups and downs together, and it is more difficult for Jin Jian to allow others to intervene. ”

Jin Shu finally suddenly, she looked at her young lady with some distress, and said sadly: "Miss, are you worried that Lu Gongzi will-"

"Don't worry."

Wang Chulong seemed to have guessed what she was saying, so he interrupted directly, and then said: "He can distinguish between big and small things, since he chose to withdraw from Heluo this time, he will not turn his back on the deal reached with the Wang family, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future." It's just that...... Since it's a deal, it's just a deal in the end. ”

The brocade book was silent.

Although she is far less clever than Wang Chulong, how can she not understand the twists and turns when the young lady talks about this.

Wang Chulong said again: "Lu Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and there must be many women who admire him." Actually, I don't particularly envy Miss Lin, but I envy that Miss Li. ”

Jin Shu said: "Miss Li? Didn't the young lady only see her once? ”

It was the beginning of January, Lu Shen was targeted by the Warp Weaving Division to attack Taixing Mansion because of Lu Tong, and on the way back, he passed through Lai'an, Wang Chulong and Li Bingxue had a brief meeting, because no one else was present, no one knew the content of their chat.

Wang Chulong's face was full of leisurely fascination, and he said slowly: "Although Miss Li didn't say it explicitly, I can feel that she has a good impression of Lu Gongzi. It's just that she is not as obsessed and entangled as most women in the world, but she dares to love and hate, and she can afford to let go. ”

Jin Shu couldn't help but be a little confused, and couldn't figure out what the heroic female general had in mind for a while.

Wang Chulong turned his head to see the blankness in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "How many women in this world can decide their own fate like Miss Li?" ”

Jin Shu muttered, "Miss, don't you have any intention of Lu Gongzi?" ”

"What a stupid girl."

Wang Chulong sighed lightly and said slowly: "It's one thing to like it or not, and it's another thing to choose it. From the day we went south to Huaizhou to live in the Lu family's courtyard, I had no choice. Whether it is from the perspective of personal innocence or the fate of the Zhai Lin Wang family, I will not be allowed to make any willful decisions. ”

Jinshu suddenly blessed his soul at this moment, and said with empathy: "Miss, is it because during this time, Lu Gongzi didn't say a word?" ”

Wang Chulong's face was as usual, and he chuckled: "Why did you suddenly become smarter?" ”

Although there was a faint smile on her face, Jinshu always felt a faint sadness in the young lady.

She walked up to Wang Chulong and said, "Miss, Master Lu is busy with military affairs, and he has the heart to every day, he definitely didn't deliberately forget Miss ......"

After speaking, there was no follow-up, she is not the kind of person who has a delicate tongue and a lotus flower after all, Wang Chulong kept her by her side more because of her straightforward character.

Wang Chulong shook his head slightly and said, "Naturally, I don't blame him, it's just that occasionally in the dead of night, there will be a little worry about leaving a place for horses in the snow." And besides—"

She paused for a moment and muttered: "This time he led the troops to withdraw from Heluo, and the Wang family did not accompany him, which means that my identity still cannot be exposed." Although I can disguise myself as the daughter of the Xunyang royal family, there is also a Lin girl in the middle, which may not be a very easy trouble for Lu Gongzi to deal with. ”

Jin Shu also felt a little headache.

In any case, it is impossible for Zhai Lin's concubine to be a concubine, even if Lu Shen has a way to solve this problem, there will be many hidden dangers in the relationship between Wang Chulong and Lin Xi.

After all, the two have never met so far.

One is a noble girl from a family who reads poetry and books, and the other is a woman in the green forest who walks the rivers and lakes, and the two have completely different experiences and temperaments.

For them, nodding acquaintances is not difficult, but if they have to live under one roof for a lifetime, no one dares to guarantee that they will be harmonious in the future.

"Hey."

Jin Shu let out a long sigh.

Wang Chulong was amused by her pretending to be old-fashioned, and smiled: "Okay, this is not something you should worry about. In the next few days, you can pack our luggage, and when I go to say goodbye to the Lu family, we will go back to Xunyang. ”

"Huh? Back to Xunyang? ”

Jin Shu was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Miss, don't you wait for Lu Gongzi to come back?" ”

Wang Chulong's eyes were clear, and he said indifferently: "I decided to live in another courtyard at the beginning, mainly because of the expediency of the situation, but now that the overall situation has been decided, it is naturally not good to continue to live in an unclear situation." The most important thing is that I don't want to meet Miss Lin at this time and in this environment, it will only increase the embarrassment at that time, and it will definitely be very difficult for Lu Gongzi to be caught in the middle. ”

Jin Shu couldn't help but pout, Miss was still thinking about him at this time, and he hadn't sent someone to send a word for so long.

Seeing this, Wang Chulong said, "Don't make trouble. ”

Jin Shu said with some grievances: "Yes, Miss." ”

At this moment, Song Pei walked into the courtyard with small steps, came to the verandah and saluted, "Girl." ”

Wang Chulong stood up and bowed his head in return.

Song Pei took out an envelope from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Girl, this is a letter sent by my young master to the girl." ”

Wang Chulong was slightly stunned.

She stretched out her hand to take the letter and said to Song Pei: "I'm tired, and sit down." ”

Song Pei shook his head and said, "The maid still has something to do, so I won't bother the girl." ”

After she left, Wang Chulong opened the envelope in front of Jinshu, only to see a few short sentences written on it, just like Lu Shenping's concise and concise style.

"Miss Wang, I will return to Huaizhou after I finish dealing with Dingzhou chores, and please stay in another courtyard for a while, there are some things I want to say to you in person."

Wang Chulong looked at the word Lu Shen at the place of payment, and suddenly felt the spring breeze blowing by.

"Miss?"

Jin Shu asked with some concern.

Wang Chulong said lightly: "It's okay, you don't have to pack your luggage for the time being." ”

Although Jin Shu didn't know the content of this letter, he couldn't help but smile after hearing this sentence.

Wang Chulong ignored the simple thoughts of this stupid girl, she walked forward slowly, leaned on the side of the pillar, stared at the seven-story building in the corner of the wall, and quietly thought in her heart.

"You're a man...... said that you have a heart, but you don't care about other people's thoughts at all, as if you just don't want to disappoint the Wang family. ”

"Saying that you are unintentional, and you know what people are thinking and worrying about, to put it mildly, it adds a bit of annoyance."

"I don't ask for much, I just hope you can understand, the king is like a rock, and the concubine is like a grass......"
