Chapter 10 Shangyuan Festival
Lu Bingzhen hesitated slightly, she turned around and asked Lu Liuniang and Lu Qiniang if they wanted to go to the teahouse together for a short rest.
However, Lu Liuniang is on the rise at this time, where is she willing to rest. As for Lu Qiniang, she followed her sister all the time, lest she offend someone recklessly, so she could only smile at Lu Bingzhen a little apologetically.
Seeing this situation, Lu Bingzhen was not reluctant, and bowed generously to the Wang family Qilang, "In this way, there is a cousin of the Wang family." "This cousin was said when the Wang family came to visit the Lu family with the mother and son of the Wang family Qilang that day. There are many marriages between families, and the Wang family Qilang can be regarded as her cousin who is turning a corner.
Wang Jian hurriedly avoided it, "I don't dare to take credit, it's just a chance encounter." ”
The Wang family's guards surrounded Wang Qilang and Lu Jiuniang all the way, so that the crowd on both sides would not collide with the two of them, until the two walked into the teahouse that the Taiyuan Wang family had chartered today.
As one of the most prestigious families, the Taiyuan royal family will naturally not be bad for the teahouse. Originally, the Taiyuan royal family wanted to charter the richest jade building on the long street, but today's shopkeeper of the jade building repeatedly smiled, only saying that there were distinguished guests who could not receive others. The Taiyuan royal family could only settle for the teahouse next door to the Yuyu Building.
As soon as she entered the Jade Building, Lu Jiuniang sat on the charcoal basin with the little ladies of the Wang family after greeting each other, and she held a hot tea in her hand to listen to the little ladies of the Wang family chattering about the most fashionable makeup jewelry and toy brocade in the capital.
Lu Jiuniang was not proficient in any of these, so she could only listen quietly to the discussion of a group of little ladies, nodding or echoing a few words from time to time to indicate that she was listening. Listening patiently like this made the little ladies of the Wang family have a good impression of her. After a while, they called Lu Jiuniang, Sister Jiu, and Sister Jiu one after another.
Wang Jian saw that Lu Jiuniang didn't really pay much attention to the topic of the little ladies, so he quietly asked Lu Jiuniang to be invited to a secluded place on the side.
"Sister Lu, in fact, there is a word of thanks that has been pressing on my heart since ten years ago. When the younger sister of the Lu family was in Lingzhou, she escaped from the hands of Pahuazi with a group of children, and I was among them. ”
Hearing this, Lu Bingzhen's eyes widened in shock, and his eyes were instantly round like the eyes of a deer.
Wang Jian reassured Lu Bingzhen in a low voice while making hot tea, "Sister Lu doesn't have to worry, I know that Uncle Lu is reluctant to speak out about this matter, and I haven't publicized it for many years." If it weren't for the fact that my sister was too similar to my childhood, I wouldn't have recognized it that day. ”
Lu Bingzhen came back to his senses slightly, and said in disbelief, "You are the son of the Taiyuan Wang, how could you be abducted by the photographer?" What's more, that boundary is hundreds of miles away from the Taiyuan Wang family. ”
"At the time of that incident, my eldest sister was a few years old and was planning to go to the clan school of the Li clan in Longxi to study. My parents took pity on me when I was young and did not allow me to go to Longxi. I was also young and ignorant at the time, so I ran out with the scholar without the attention of my family. That's what happened on the road. ”
Wang Jian didn't tell Lu Bingzhen that he had grown up and worked hard since he was a child, so his parents had never strictly controlled him. This gave him a glimpse of the opportunity to leave home without permission. After this happened, he told Lu Qi his identity, and Lu Qi didn't believe that he was the son of the Taiyuan Wang, but still sent him back to Taiyuan.
After that, Wang Jian's parents strictly controlled him, and he never had a chance to find the little girl who took him out of the darkness. And Lu Qi heard the news and learned about his younger brother soon after, and rushed to Xuanhua City non-stop, so naturally he didn't have the heart to talk to his wife and daughter about this adventure.
Therefore, this matter was only unveiled by Wang Jian ten years later.
Lu Bingzhen was speechless for a long time, and only sighed after a while, "Brother Wang was too reckless when he was young. Wang Jian was a little embarrassed, and heard Lu Bingzhen say again, "But it's really good, the elder brother of the Wang family is still good now." ”
Hearing this, Wang Jian stared at the girl in front of him for a long time.
Time flies, and the two of them have grown up now, one is a young man who is as beautiful as jade, and the other is a slim girl.
The time that has passed coincides at this moment, as if it is back to the present ten years ago. Wang Jian couldn't help but thank God for his love in his heart, allowing him to see the girl he had been thinking about for many years.
Wang Jian asked in a low voice as if he was worried about disturbing the girl in front of him, "Ninth sister, are you willing to marry me?" I'm going to release it soon. I know that my sister doesn't like to be bound by the family, and my sister can not be bound by the family, and she can display her talent and ability without being restricted by the woman's body. I would like to share authority and honor with my sister. ”
Startled by Wang Jian's words, Lu Bingzhen stood up in a hurry and walked out, leaving only one sentence, "Cousin Wang is joking." Wang Jian's voice was steady and firm, without the slightest hint of wavering, "My sister knows that I am sincere, and Jian Jing is waiting for my sister's answer." ”
Lu Bingzhen suddenly stood up from the corner of the teahouse and walked out. The action was so sudden, it instantly attracted the attention of the little ladies of the Wang family, and Lu Bingzhen could only leave in a hurry, only saying that he was going back to find his sisters. Seeing this, Wang Jian was afraid of scaring Lu Bingzhen again, and he didn't dare to chase after him anymore, but he strictly ordered a few guards to follow and be sure to protect her safety.
In this way, Lu Bingzhen walked around blankly on the long street again, followed by several Wang family guards.
Suddenly, the bamboo pole with several lanterns hanging on the stall next to him snapped, and the lanterns instantly burned into a piece. Lu Bingzhen didn't notice it for a while, and he couldn't dodge it for the first time, and a young man suddenly jumped on the high-rise building behind the stall.
When he was taken into the arms of the young man, Lu Bingzhen's first reaction was to use the elbow behind the pestle, hitting the person's chest and abdomen. It wasn't until he heard the muffled snort of this person close to his ears and the noisy crying in front of him that Lu Bingzhen realized that this person seemed to have saved her.
At this moment, the young man behind him also let go of him, and the two of them distanced themselves slightly. In the chaotic flickering firelight, Lu Bingzhen saw this person's face clearly, and she lost her voice and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
This is the first time that Lu Bingzhen has had such close contact with His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Min is not a gentle and energetic young man like Wang Jian, the seventh lang of the Wang family, but like the cold moonlight in the winter snowy night, it is cold to see.
Even though Lu Bingzhen and Xiao Min were close at this moment, Lu Bingzhen felt as if she was holding a cold moon in her arms, but the moonlight kept falling on her.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the moment is completely different from the condescending and extravagant appearance at the palace banquet that day. His face was cold but beautiful today, as awe-inspiring as the frost and snow in the mountains, and even a pair of amber eyes carried a sense of alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not wear the crown dress today, only tied up his long hair with a jade crown, and wore a white brocade robe with pine branches and dark patterns, and a green lotus-colored jade pendant on his waist, which was slightly embellished throughout his body, and his temperament was even more unrefined. If it weren't for Lu Bingzhen knowing that this person was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would probably recognize him as a famous man and an immortal.
Xiao Min seemed to have finally recovered from Lu Bingzhen's elbow, and in the chaotic firefighting scene, he took Lu Bingzhen into the Jade Building.
"Pei Jian, later you go to inform the people of the Lu family in Fanyang, and say that the Jiuniang of the Lu family is here to avoid chaos, and ask them to come and pick up people."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince casually instructed Pei Jian and sent him away.
Right now, in the wing room of the Jade Building, only Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen are left, and a few people from the East Palace who are serving tea. Lu Bingzhen bowed slightly, "Thank you Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, the courtier is offended." Xiao Min said in a flat tone, "Qingping County Jun is polite, and loneliness is just a casual effort." ”
After a brief pleasantries, there was a long silence in the room.
Just when Lu Bingzhen thought that he would be so silent until the maid of the family picked her up, he suddenly heard the prince's inexplicable words.
"Jiu Niangzi has been very close to the people of the Taiyuan Wang family recently."
Lu Bingzhen didn't understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant when he mentioned this matter, so he could only answer safely, "My aunt was born in the Taiyuan royal family, so she has been moving around a lot recently. ”
"Really? Also, there are many marriages between families, and the Taiyuan Wang family is also a relative of the Fanyang Lu family. Gu also thought that the Fanyang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family intended to marry in Lu Jiuniang's generation. ”
The implication in these words was too strong, and Lu Bingzhen only wondered if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew the conversation between the two in the teahouse. Thinking that he retired in a hurry and almost hit the overturned lantern stall, Lu Bingzhen was so ashamed and embarrassed, his face was faintly red.
But all this, in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, who was churning with vinegar, was Lu Bingzhen's shyness when he mentioned his sweetheart who was about to get married. His Royal Highness the Prince, who had long known about Lu Bingzhen's private conversation with Wang Jian Teahouse through the guards of the East Palace, had a nameless fire surging in his heart, and he couldn't hold back his cold and alienated appearance as an immortal.
Thinking like this, Xiao Min's face became more and more cold and detached.
Hearing that the long street was running in the water, he was worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in a hurry, but was told by the palace maid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had ordered Wen Cheng not to enter, so he had no choice but to stand outside the house.
Wen Cheng and Pei Jian are the two most trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, and he is also clear about His Royal Highness the Prince's repetition these days.
Wen Zheng, who has excellent ear power, heard the words of the two, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too capricious today.
Before going out today, His Royal Highness asked people to go around, just to have the opportunity to ask Lu Jiuniang face-to-face whether it was her own intention to refuse the East Palace or the meaning of the Lu family's ancestors.
As a result, when they arrived at Long Street, His Royal Highness said that he was gone, and only let the guards of the East Palace follow Lu Jiuniang, so as not to be collided with. As a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard the guards return to the Wang family Qilang and saw Lu Jiuniang, although he didn't say anything, but he wandered in the house repeatedly.
When Lu Jiuniang wandered on the long street in a state of confusion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that it was useless to meet. But when the lit lantern almost burned to Lu Jiuniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about these and jumped down to save the beauty by himself.
The two finally met, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so weird and unwilling to speak out.
Wen Cheng let out a long sigh in his heart, only to feel that his cousin, who had always been a good planner, was too forward-looking in this matter.
