On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the ice and snow in Changxun Mountain melted and everything recovered. It was a good time for hunting.
Jinghe Villa was built on the top of Changxun Mountain. In front of the villa, there was a road leading down the mountain. At this time, carriages were parked on the road one after another. From the hour of Chen in the morning, the villa began to receive guests one after another. The steward of the villa greeted the guests at the door, arranged accommodation for the guests, and made sure they were in order.
Jinghe Villa covers a vast area and is mainly divided into two courtyards, one is the Rong Garden where the men live, and the other is the Min Garden where the girls live.
The Min Garden is divided into several small courtyards, each with three entrances, and five girls live in one courtyard. Everything in the courtyard was tidy and tidy, and each girl was served by two maids. When Wei Luo and Wei Zheng arrived, they happened to be arranged by the steward to the Xiyan Courtyard. At this time, three girls had already lived in the courtyard, namely Liang Yurong, Song Hui's younger sister Song Ruwei, and Li Xiang.
This is really in line with that sentence, it's not that enemies don't get together.
Wei Luo couldn't help thinking as he lived in Dongkua Courtyard.
The windows in the main room are bright and clean, and the tables, chairs, and benches are all wiped spotlessly, and there is no need for maids to make arrangements. Wei Luo sat on the rosewood pier with five openings, and asked Jin Lu to find out which room Li Xiang lived in.
Not long after, the golden thread left and returned, and said, "Girl, the daughter of King Ruyang lives in Xikuayuan."
Wei Luo nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Pay more attention to the situation over there, and don't make it too obvious, so as not to be discovered by others. If there is any movement from her, tell me immediately."
Jin Lu responded, although she didn't understand what she was going to do, but since it was the young lady's order, she would definitely do it with all her heart.
The hunting competition will officially start tomorrow at 10 o'clock, and today is just to get used to the environment in advance. After lunch, many teenagers went to the back mountain to explore the terrain and make some marks, so as not to be trapped in the mountain and unable to get out tomorrow, it would be a joke.
Not long after Wei Luo sat down, Liang Yurong came to see her.
Liang Yurong came with her elder brother Liang Yu. Liang Yu is eighteen this year, and he is extraordinary in martial arts. He has been practicing martial arts all year round and has a strong body. He had been preparing for this hunting competition for a long time, and he didn't know how many targets he shot at home, just to stand out in this competition and win the first place in one fell swoop.
"Aniang and I often say that he is so obsessed with martial arts, he might as well go to take the martial arts championship." Liang Yurong poured herself a cup of tea, holding a small bell with a color doucai while drinking.
Wei Luo paused, then looked at Liang Yurong.
Liang Yurong didn't realize it, and continued: "My brother himself has this plan. He said that if he can't get the first prize in this hunting, he will go back and take the martial arts exam honestly."
Wei Luo tightened his grip on the teacup. According to Liang Yu's ability, as long as he prepares well, he should be no problem in the exam...
In her previous life, Li Xiang admired Wu Zhuangyuan. She had never seen Wu Zhuangyuan's face, nor had she paid attention to Wu Zhuangyuan's name. Looking at it now, could it be Liang Yu? Wei Luo recalled whether she had ever heard the description of Wu Zhuangyuan, but she really couldn't remember, and in the end, she couldn't be sure whether Li Xiang liked him or not.
It's just that Liang Yu really fits Li Xiang's aesthetics. With broad shoulders and a broad back, he is tall and straight with profound features. He is an image of a handsome warrior.
If it was really him, could it be that Li Xiang has already fallen in love with him in this hunting contest
Wei Luo propped her chin, and slowly turned the small Rujiao clock on the table, her thoughts were going back and forth, and she didn't even listen to what Liang Yurong said later.
Liang Yurong sat in the West Courtyard for half an hour, seeing that it was late, she got up and prepared to go back.
Wei Luo sent her to the gate of Xikua courtyard, and happened to meet Li Song and Li Xiang walking towards her. Li Songlai explained the matter to Li Xiang, and took a walk in the courtyard, they didn't know that Wei Luo lived in the Dongkua courtyard, so they walked here and bumped into each other.
Li Song stopped suddenly, seeing Wei Luo's expression was a little weird. His expression froze, and then he turned cold, "Why do you live here?"
Who knew that Wei Luo ignored him at all, and after sending Liang Yurong away, without even looking at them, she turned around and walked into the courtyard with her gold-woven eight-treasure skirt.
The wooden door closed in front of Li Song, his face turned blue and white, very ugly.
Didn't she hear him talking to her just now? Standing here with Li Xiang, she didn't even say hello, she was so defiant!
He stood in front of the door for a moment, both angry and faintly powerless. After returning home that night on the Lantern Festival, he thought about it for several days, and couldn't help but think of her appearance. He obviously hated her, so disgusted that he wanted to bully her every day and see her crying and weak, but at the same time he wanted to see her, even if they would taunt each other as soon as they met. Who would have thought that when they met today, she ignored him, hurt his self-esteem, and couldn't recover for a long time.
Li Xiang took his arm and said angrily: "Brother, let's ignore her. Who does she think she is? She is so arrogant, is it great to have the support of a princess..."
After finishing speaking, he snorted softly and followed Li Song away gradually.
In Dongkua's courtyard, Wei Luo asked Jin Lu and Bai Lan to move a short couch under the tung tree in the yard, and she sat on the couch and closed her eyes for a nap.
She ignored Li Song on purpose, since Chang Hong's marriage was not resolved, she didn't want to look at those two more. What's more, last time Li Song was rude to her, she didn't need to show any kindness to him, she was polite enough not to roll her eyes in person.
Wei Luo slept for half an hour, and when she woke up, a tung flower fell on her nose, itching, and she was about to raise her hand to wipe it away, but there was a hand picking up the petals faster than her. Those hands were fair and slender, accompanied by a warm and smiling voice: "Sister Ah Luo is awake?"
For a moment, Wei Luo couldn't tell what night it was. She blinked and blinked, and it took a while to realize that she was in Jinghe Villa in Changxun Mountain. She raised her eyes and looked beside her, only to see that Song Hui was wearing a sky blue straight gown with intertwining lotus patterns, standing with his hands behind his back, several tung flower petals fell on his shoulders, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here.
Wei Luo sat up, with a soft voice that had just woken up, and said in surprise, "Brother Song Hui is here too? Aren't you reading at home?"
She slept under the tree for a while, and a lot of petals fell from her head and body, and they fell on the couch when she got up. The little girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, her almond eyes were wide open, she was completely different from the tranquility when she was asleep. Not long after he arrived, Jin Lu said that she was resting. He originally thought of sitting and waiting on the stone pier beside him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he passed by her, she opened her eyes and woke up.
Song Hui smiled and explained: "It's too boring to read at home all the time, so I just took this opportunity to go to the mountains to relax. Although I can't win the top three, it's still possible to hunt a rabbit for you."
Although he is a Confucian scholar, he has also learned riding and archery, and his level is quite good. It's just that I haven't exercised much these years, and it's gradually becoming a bit wasteful. I don't know if I can pick it up again tomorrow, and whether it will be as handy as before.
Wei Luo pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Brother Song Hui forgot, I'm allergic to small furry animals. It's okay if you give me rabbit meat, but if you let me raise it, that's not okay."
After being reminded by her, Song Hui realized that it was true. When Wei Luo was two or three years old, she also liked small animals such as cats and dogs, but unfortunately, every time she touched these animals, a rash would appear on her body, which could not go away for several days. After the doctor found out the reason, Wei Kun no longer let her touch furry animals. Once Wei Changxian brought back a dirty lap dog from outside, and Wei Luo really liked it so much that he cleaned it up without telling Wei Kun, and slept with him all night. I woke up the next day with rashes all over my body, and I couldn't breathe, and I almost died because of it. Wei Kun was scared out of his wits, and Wei Changxian was severely punished by the fourth master for this.
From then on, Wei Luo became more honest and never touched these little animals again.
Song Hui showed shame, and said indulgently, "You can do whatever you want."
Wei Luo said yes, "Then I'll wait for brother Song Hui to hunt me a rabbit."
The two people here talked harmoniously, and the atmosphere was warm, but they didn't notice a person walking in from the gate of the courtyard.
Jinghe Villa was originally built by the royal family, and Zhao Jie was free to come and go here, so naturally no one dared to stop him.
He stood at the gate of Dongkua courtyard, looking at the two people under the tung tree.
With a smile on her cheeks and full dimples, the girl looked up at the man in front of her. A piece of pure white petal floated down from the tree and landed on her eyelashes. Song Hui raised his head to pick it off for her, his eyes were full of tenderness.
