Chapter 207 The Dust Sets down
The end of the year is approaching. As the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, the whole sky is full of joy to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Whether it is a large family with strong financial resources or ordinary people, they are constantly busy to welcome the new year.
In the East City, there are a few people in the Lu family who are not eye-catching at all, and they don't have a moment of leisure. Even Lv Xianger put aside the matter of the wine shop and was busy for three consecutive days before she had time to breathe. Although Lv Xianger returned to the room to rest tiredly every night, her face was always smiling, because Lv Hong had officially proposed marriage to Wenfu.
Lv Xianger didn't go with him that day, but he also heard Xiaowu talk about what happened at that time. It is said that the old lady Fu, who had not asked about the world for a long time, actually met Lv Hong in person. At that time, he nodded and agreed to Lv Hong's marriage. After that, after a series of procedures, Mrs. Wen and Lv Erniang finally settled the marriage between Lv Hong and Wen Yao.
While Lv Hong harvested the 'beauty', his 'auties' was also very smooth. On the day of the last martial arts test, Lv Hong was given a six-grade martial arts officer by His Majesty the emperor. A few days later, Lv Hong and Wen Song were appointed as 'Capitant Guo Yi' and took office in the newly formed Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou after the end of the year. Shangzhou is very close to Beijing. According to Huo Qingsong, it is only more than an hour's journey if you ride a horse. For Lv Hong and Wen Song, who are from Beijing, it is a 'preferential treatment'. Just as Lv Hong and Lv Xianger's happy mood had just calmed down, a news from the Guogong Mansion shocked the brother and sister.
But on this day, Lv Xianger just got up and was sitting in front of the window looking at the six icicles in the yard, thinking about whether to put candles at night to see what it was. Huo Qingqing trotted all the way into the yard from outside the courtyard. Xiao Cui also had a beautiful little maid, who followed closely behind. The beautiful little maid ran and gently slowed down Huo Qingqing.
"Qingqing, you are the one who has made a marriage, and you are still so impatient?" When Huo Qingqing didn't enter the house, Lv Xianger greeted her at the door and looked at her with a smile.
Huo Qingqing was said too much by Lv Xianger and didn't care for a long time. When the two little maids behind her helped her take off her cape, Huo Qingqing couldn't help but say with surprise, "Xiang'er, I brought you a big surprise from the Guogong Mansion. Can you guess what the surprise was?"
"Look at what you said, there is no hint at all. Where can I guess?" Lv Xianger handed the stove in her hand to Huo Qingqing, shook her head and smiled but did not ask.
Sure enough, Huo Qingqing saw that Lv Xianger could not guess, so she walked to her side and whispered a word. Lv Xianger was stunned and then said in a loud voice, "What, my mother is happy? Qingqing, is what you said true?
"Of course it's true. At that time, I was in my aunt's bedroom. Huo Qingqing nodded repeatedly and looked very serious.
Lv Xianger looked at Huo Qingqing for a while, and then suddenly screamed and ran out. She had to tell Lu Hong about such a big thing. In this era, it is rare for women in their thirties to have children. And this matter still happened in the government, which is really a big thing.
Seeing that Lv Xianger was no longer calm, Huo Qingqing looked at the disappeared back in the yard and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. The little maid who followed Huo Qingqing came to the general's mansion recently and followed Huo Qingqing. Obviously, she rarely saw such a scene and was a little at a loss. Xiao Cui has been used to it for a long time. She pulled the maid named Cailian, and the two left the room to make tea.
Besides, when Lv Xianger arrived at Lv Hong's yard, she found that Huo Qingsong was also coming. The two were talking about the Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou. Knowing that Huo Qingsong had just come, Lv Xianger's face turned red first, and then she told Lv Hong and Huo Qingsong as if nothing had happened that Lv Erniang was happy.
Like Huo Qingsong, Lv Hong was stunned at first, and then showed ecstatic expression on his face. If it hadn't been for the confirmation just and the news hadn't been fully heard, Lv Hong couldn't wait to go to the State Mansion to see Lv Erniang immediately. Huo Qingsong's expression did not change much, but he looked up and down at Lv Xianger with a strange look. Lv Xianger didn't understand at the beginning, but after thinking of something, she gave Huo Qingsong a fierce look. Huo Qingsong's eyes immediately smiled and turned his eyes.
Nothing actually happened between Lv Xianger and Huo Qingsong. But in Lv Hong's eyes, it was Lv Xianger who was flirting with Huo Qingsong. With a cough, Lv Honggang wanted to find an excuse to leave and give up the room to the two. Xiaowu came in at this time. He came to tell Lv Xianger and Lv Hong, Chaoxia and Li Wenhao, and Wenyao's brother and sister.
"Yo, what day is it today? Why did you make an appointment together?" When Lv Hong heard that Wen Yao was coming, his eyes immediately lit up. Lv Xianger knew Lv Hong's carefulness, so she smiled and said, "Maybe there is some news again. Let's go to the main room, which is big."
"It's okay. I heard that Brother Li is leaving, and I really can't bear to part with him." Lv Hong said, but he went out with Huo Qingsong one after another, and Lv Xianger followed.
Since the palace banquet, Li Wenhao seems to have changed. In the face of Chaoxia, he did not have the previous embarrassment and became more and more like a brother. In Li Wenhao's official career, it may be what King Zhongyong said to His Majesty the Emperor. Although he was an official from the sixth grade, he was appointed to Li Feng and joined the army. It was also after the end of the year that Li Wenhao had to go to the border to take office. However, Lv Hong is still very envious of Li Wenhao's ability to exercise in the barracks. If Lv Xiang'er hadn't been getting married soon, he would have been married, and Lv Hong would have asked to go to the border.
After Lv Xianger and her party arrived at the main room, Wen Song signaled to Lv Xianger, and Chaoxia and others were all in the inner hall. Lv Xianger saluted Wen Song and Li Wenhao before entering the inner hall. When there were only a few men left in the hall, Wen Song whispered, "Brother Huo, you may not know that you haven't entered the palace these days. Today, His Royal Highness was scolded by your majesty again. Recently, it has been rumored that the prince will be abolished in these days.
"Oh? Sit down and speak slowly. Huo Qingsong raised his eyebrows and motioned several people to sit down and talk. Speaking of which, although Huo Qingsong is still very young, he has the momentum of a superior. At his peers, he is always in a position that cannot be ignored.
Although after the palace banquet, Huo Qingsong made a mistake and was scolded by His Majesty and punished in the house. But the bright-eyed person can still see that Huo Qingsong's holy people are weak and dare not look underestimate him. Even Wen Song and Li Wenhao were instructed by Wen Taifu and Li Xingzhou, and everything was followed by Huo Qingsong's example.
Wen Song talked about what happened in the palace, but Wen Yao also took Lv Xianger's hand, with an inquisitive look in her eyes, and whispered, "The Empress Song said that the marriage between Princess Jingrou and the son of Gao Chang has also been settled. Now, Empress Xiang Fei is preparing for the dowry. I believe that it will not be long before the princess will marry Gaochang.
"The son of Gaochang is a good-looking man. He is also the future emperor of Gaochang, and the princess has also found a good man." Lv Xianger dodged Wen Yao's eyes and sat next to Chaoxia, thinking of Huo Qingsong's instructions to her.
Since Huo Qingsong left Zhaoshun Palace with Lv Xianger, she took the path back to Shuixie. When Wen Yao and several people failed to look for her and returned to the water, they asked Lv Xianger about it. Lv Xianger followed the excuse taught to her by Huo Qingsong, but said that the maid of honor suddenly left and let her find her own way. But she got lost and came back here after meeting a little eunuch.
After hearing this, Wen Yao and the other two didn't say anything, but they couldn't hide it from Lv Xianger's eyes. Even Huo Qingqing felt the loopholes in Lv Xianger's words, not to mention the morning glow of Lv Xianger who knew it very well. But when the three saw that nothing happened to Lv Xianger, all their thoughts were touched by the matter of Zhaoshun Palace. Although Wen Yao and the three of them only heard the screams, the voice was the most clear Princess Jingrou. After that, the three of them heard from home that the son of Gaochang had disappeared at the palace banquet for a long time, and they vaguely understood what was going on in Zhaoshun Palace.
Now, Wen Yao knows from Concubine Song that Princess Jingrou is going to marry Gaochang for her own princess, which is really a real guess in her heart. Huo Qingqing grew up in the general's mansion and also understood the curves in it. However, Chaoxia was instructed by Mrs. Li to understand what had happened that day. After the three people knew it in their hearts, they all sweated and were afraid of Lv Xianger.
Before looking for Lv Xianger, Wen Yao had told Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing what had happened before and her guess. Huo Qingqing and Chaoxia naturally understood that the scene of Zhaoshun Palace must have been prepared by Princess Jingrou for Lv Xianger. The three of them were very happy that Lv Xianger was not tricked, but they were also worried that the emperor's thorough investigation of this matter would pull out Lv Xianger. Whether Lv Xianger is innocent or not, when it comes to the royal scandal, she will not have a good result.
"Xiang'er, since you don't want to say it, we won't ask." Asaxia looked at Lv Xianger's expression and understood what she was thinking. Looking at Wen Yao, Chaoxia thought for a moment and said, "However, you just need to tell us one thing. We just care about you. Are you with him that day?
Chaoxia only called 'he', but Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing knew who this 'he' was. And Lv Xianger knew who she was asking from Chaoxia's eyes. After thinking for a long time, Lv Xianger nodded slightly, while Chaoxia and the other two took a long breath. The three looked at each other, which was shocked by Huo Qingsong's boldness, and also envied that Lu Xianger could be treated like this by Huo Qingsong. Of course, Huo Qingqing, Huo Qingqing, as Huo Qingsong's own sister, is more proud of Huo Qingsong.
After dark, Lv Xianger looked at the bright and beautiful icicles in the yard and suddenly had an expectation for her future life. It was found that under the light emitted by the icicle, Huo Qingsong did not take his eyes away from Lv Xianger'er's face for a moment, and the corners of his eyes also had some expectations.
