The warm wind blew across the lake, causing ripples, the lotus leaves swaying in the sky, and a few peach blossoms that bloomed late seemed to hide and seek with the lotus leaves, and the faint fragrance was refreshing. There was a woman leaning on the soft couch by the lake. Her hair was not tied into a bun like a woman nowadays, but she was only casually braided into long braids. A few mischievous strands of hair danced in the wind. Book. The woman was wearing a white shirt with only a few bamboo leaves embroidered on the placket and cuffs, and there was no other decoration.
Next to the woman sat a green-clothed woman with a beautiful face. The satin peony fan in her hand was fanning the white-clothed woman for a while, as if she had no intention of admiring the beauty of this early summer. Her bright eyes stared straight at the white-clothed woman.
Looking at this young lady who had served for five years, Lu Yi couldn't let the doubts go away. Since the young lady was rescued from the lake three years ago, everything has changed! In the past, the young lady had an erratic personality and had a bad temper. She would never leave her hand with the whip, and she would wave it at anyone who didn't like her. No one in the family or the people in the city was not afraid of this Miss Murong. The strange thing is that after the young lady woke up from Luohu, she couldn't remember many things, and her temperament also changed, just like... a different person. In the past, she was very afraid of serving by her side, and was always trembling, but now she likes to be by her side very much, and she often stares at her in a daze.
"Miss, Miss! He, he's here!" A female voice from afar interrupted Lu Yi's contemplation, and when she came back to her senses, she slowly put down the book in her hand, with a helpless smile on the corner of her mouth. Looking at the red figure running in a hurry.
Murong Shuqing handed the sweaty little girl a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Talk slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Hongxiu poured a cup of tea with a big mouth, his eyes were shining, and he said excitedly, "Miss, Young Master Xuanyuan is here!"
"Young Master Xuanyuan? Who?" Murong Shuqing still didn't quite understand who this person was, and made the little girl so excited, but looking at her drinking zeal, that cup of good Longdan new tea was probably wasted.
"It's your sweetheart, your future husband!" Miss Xuanyuan doesn't even remember
Oh, it turned out to be the man who married her, but delayed the marriage time and time again.
"What is he doing here?" Murong Shuqing asked casually while holding a cup of tea, looking at the swaying lotus leaves in the pond.
"Uh, come, come to break off the marriage..." Hong Xiu lowered her head, looked at the young lady's face secretly, and said it in a low voice.
"Bringing off the marriage?" The light flashed in his eyes, and the smile at the corner of Murong Shuqing's mouth became playful.
"Well, Young Master Xuanyuan and the master are both in the flower hall, and the master is losing his temper!" Hong Xiu looked worried, her eyebrows almost folded together.
"Looks like I should go check it out!" After all, he's the protagonist, how can there be drama if he doesn't show up
"Then I'll prepare clothes for you right away. What color should you wear? Red or your favorite purple? Or white? I've done a flying cloud bun today. It's noble and generous. It must be very suitable for young lady... "
"Stop!" The little sparrow was really upset, "Did I say I need to change clothes?"
"But when Young Master Xuanyuan came, the young lady had to dress up carefully..." Hong Xiu said more and more softly. Although the young lady no longer wears a whip or beats people, as long as the young lady's voice is low, she will unconsciously panic, which is even more at a loss than when the young lady used to beat people.
"That was before." Murong Shuqing sighed helplessly. Going to see a man, or a man who wants to break off the marriage, do you need to dress up? Is it necessary to fast and bathe! Women, sometimes you are just embarrassing yourself and embarrassing yourself. "I remember an engagement token?"
"Yes, it's the Pearl of the South China Sea. It's almost the size of a fist." Hongxiu has only seen it twice, and it's really dazzling.
"Lvyi, go get it, let's go to the flower hall." After speaking, Murong Shuqing stepped forward and walked towards the flower hall.
Miss really want to break off the marriage ah? The two little girls looked at each other, but did not dare to talk much. Lu Yi ran back to Suiyuan, took the pearl, and hurriedly followed to the flower hall.
bang! Murong Shuqing just walked into the courtyard, just in time to hear a white jade tea bowl being slammed to the ground. "I don't agree! I said it three years ago, this is an engagement between the two, so why don't you just quit!" The low roar was full of anger, and it seemed that Father Murong was very angry.
"I'm just here to tell you that I'm breaking off the engagement."
Murong Shuqing raised the corner of his mouth. This voice is quite magnetic, low and hoarse, and full of domineering. The voice is not loud, but it gives people a great sense of oppression. He really deserves to be the most powerful general in the dynasty. Murong Shuqing suddenly looked forward to seeing this young man's successful and famous fiancé, it would be very interesting. With a slight smile, Murong Shuqing stepped into the door of the flower hall.
"Father." The clear voice made the three men in the flower hall startled at the same time, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot.
"Qing'er, you came just in time, this kid actually said he wanted to break off the marriage! Don't worry, Dad won't agree." Seeing the arrival of the precious daughter, Murong Xiang quickly expressed his attitude.
Murong Shuqing looked at the two men in the flower hall, both of them were outstanding and imposing. Facing the two completely different gazes, it is not difficult to guess that the man in the blue shirt and expressionless should be the fiancé in the legend. Sword eyebrows and star eyes, proud nose and thin lips, and handsome appearance, needless to say, this man has extraordinary momentum, different from the roughness of ordinary generals, with a calm air, but always maintains an offensive attitude, such a man, any No one can ignore his existence.
Beside him, another gray-clothed man looked at her with a smile. The man's demeanor was well-mannered, and he had a rather gentle temperament, but those eyes with interest made Murong Shuqing intuitively think that he was by no means as simple as it seemed.
Looking back, Murong Shuqing smiled and said, "Father, since Young Master Xuanyuan insists on breaking off the marriage, there must be his reasons, and we can't force it." The soft whisper slowly came, it seemed to bring a little bit of heat to this early summer. refreshing.
"This is your mother's marriage with Mrs. Xuanyuan before her death. How could he have the final say?" Murong Xiang secretly wondered, her daughter had liked this kid since she was a child, and she used to seek death for him. Why did she agree to break off the marriage today
"I want to come to the two parents to sign this marriage and hope that we will be happy. Since Young Master Xuanyuan is unwilling, if he enforces the marriage contract, how can he be happy? I believe that the mother knows, and she will understand." Murong Shuqing's mouth corners The smile deepened, and his eyes looked directly at Murong Xiang, letting him see the determination in her eyes.
"But where your grandfather..."
"There is no need to worry about my grandfather's father, I will explain it myself."
Murong Xiang knew that it was useless to talk too much. In the past three years, she insisted on doing nothing without success, but as a father, he still said: "You are already nineteen, if you break off the marriage—"
"Father, my daughter wants to serve you for a few more years, and with my daughter by my side, I believe you will be more comfortable."
Murong Xiang's expression changed slightly. Yes, in the past three years, the family business has not required him to work hard, and it has become bigger and bigger. If his daughter gets married, wouldn't all this become his burden again? If she wants to break off the marriage, she can leave. She must have already made arrangements, so why should she worry about it. "It's up to you, just retreat." After speaking, Murong Xiang walked away.
Murong Shuqing always knew that there were two eyes that hadn't been taken away from her since she walked into the flower hall, she didn't take it seriously, turned to meet those deep eyes like the sea, and said with a light smile, "Since the marriage contract has already been signed, Released, this engagement token will be returned. Lu Yi, give it to the son."
"Yes." Lu Yi brought the precious South China Sea Pearl to Xuanyuan Yi. Xuanyuan Yi didn't even look, his eyes still fixed on Murong Shuqing.
The smile on Murong Shuqing's face did not change, and he let him watch without evading. She has returned the thing, or it is his business. Now that she is a businessman, she must not lose her manners.
"Since the two young masters have already arrived in Huadu, why don't you stay for a few days, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and let me do my best as a landlord."
"Then we'll interrupt." The man in gray answered. Murong Shuqing saw Xuanyuan Yi frown obviously, but the man in gray was holding a folding fan and shaking it with a smile on his face, turning a blind eye to Xuanyuan Yi's frown.
This man seems to be very interested in her. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if there are two more guests, she also wants to see what kind of person this general is. "Lv Yi, take the two young masters to Tingfeng Xuan, don't neglect the distinguished guests, I will excuse me." After a little nod, the white figure walked away.
"Is this the arrogant, unreasonable, willful Miss Murong you said?" Pei Che drank the newly picked spring tea this year, secretly lamenting that the Murong family is really rich, and this tea is hard to find.
"No." Xuanyuan Yi looked at the green pine standing outside the window and spit out two words. I never thought that Murong's house still had such a view. Before, because I was tired of Murong Shuqing, I never stayed at Murong's house for a long time, but I didn't know that the scenery of Tingfengxuan was so shocking. The two-story building is surrounded by green pine trees, and there is a huge boulder standing at the entrance of the courtyard, with the words "vigor and strength" written on it - Ting Fengxuan, you can clearly hear the sound of the wind blowing through the pine forest in the room, and it really pays off. The name of the wind.
"No? Are you saying that the one just now wasn't Murong Shuqing?" Pei Che smiled narrowly.
"It's Murong Shuqing, but his temperament is completely different." Xuanyuan Yi's deep eyes couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"It's hard to play?" Pei Che came to Xuanyuan Yi's side, handed him a cup of tea, and also admired the huge pine forest.
"Impossible." The Murong Shuqing he knew couldn't possibly have such a temperament and charm. When she came in, he was in a trance. There was an elegant smile on her plain face, but her casual attitude revealed confidence. At that moment, she made him unable to look away. How could she pretend to be so graceful!
"Yeah, it's really not like hard-to-play. And you should have noticed the old man's attitude. It seems that it's not just as simple as pampering, it seems... It's also a little fearful, which is very intriguing. Besides, the Murong family has been very active in the past three years. , now it is one of the largest households in EAST, aren't you curious about what happened in the past three years?" Pei Che said slowly, looking at the floating tea leaves in the cup, his eyebrows became more interested.
"That's why you insist on staying?" Xuanyuan Yi was a little curious, but in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, he still disapproved of staying.
"Anyway, I have to attend Brother Yi's wedding before leaving. There is nothing wrong with living here. Look, the scenery is so beautiful." He was also intoxicated in the pine forest.
"Have the two young masters rested?" Lu Yi asked in a low voice while standing by the door.
"No, Miss Lu Yi, please come in." Pei Che smiled and welcomed Lu Yi in.
"Two young masters, let's see what else is missing, Lu Yi goes to prepare."
"Very good, nothing is missing, don't bother the girl."
"You're welcome, sir, this is a servant's job." Lu Yi replied with a smile, "Miss arranged a family banquet in Luoyun Garden tonight to wash the dust for the two sons."
"Miss Murong is very polite. I heard that there is a young master in your house?" I heard Xuanyuan mention it a few times, that child is smart and stubborn, maybe he can learn something from him.
"Young Master is talking about Young Master Xinghun, right? Young Master is still studying in Xinghe Garden, and Young Master can meet Young Master at the family banquet."
"Study at home? Why don't you go to the academy?" This little boy was born to a deceased aunt. It is rumored that the aunt had escaped with her childhood sweetheart, but not only did she not escape, but the child in her belly was also suspected by Murong Xiang as not her own. flesh and blood. How could such a child who has no mother's protection and was never favored specially ask the master to teach
"Master's arrangement, Lu Yi is not clear." What exactly does this young master want to know? Better to say less. "Lv Yi will not prevent the two young masters from resting." After Lu Yi said that, he bowed and backed out.
What a girl who can advance and retreat well, and is exquisitely carved. "The maids around Murong Shuqing are very tasteful." Pei Che was immediately given a blank stare after he finished speaking.
When Xuanyuan Yi and Pei Che walked into Luoyun Garden, the Murong family had already sat at a table. Sitting beside Murong Xiang were two women, one was about forty years old, still beautiful, dignified and virtuous; the other was in her twenties, with phoenix eyes and cherry lips. Opposite them sat a young man with an expressionless face, who was already very temperamental at such a young age.
Pei Che laughed loudly: "We seem to be late!" The name of Luoyun Garden is a good one, the hall door is facing the west, and you can enjoy the gorgeous scenery of the sunset when you eat. Murong Mansion is really everywhere. landscape.
Hearing the voice, the young man stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Xuanyuan, you are here! Sit here!" He pulled Xuanyuan Yi to sit beside him. Xuanyuan Yi patted the young man on the shoulder. He hadn't seen him for three years. The boy had grown a lot taller. The arrogance surrounding his body remained unchanged, but his resentment and gloom were much less.
"Are there any legs that Yue'er likes to eat tonight?"
"Yes, Yue'er is so good, I'll give you two tonight!"
"Okay, eat your belly round."
"Okay!"
The childish conversation was accompanied by light laughter. Murong Shuqing, who was wearing a white shirt, led a little girl of three or four years old and walked into Luoyun Garden with a smile. The little girl was wearing a pink blouse with two pigtails, and a sweet smile on her red face. She was such a beautiful baby.
"Everyone is here, let's serve." Murong Shuqing hugged the little girl and sat on the chair beside him, and said casually to Lu Yi who was behind him.
This seemingly random order made Pei Che startled - this kind of big family always pays attention to the rules of the dinner table. Generally, only the person in charge of the family can order the opening of the table. Although the old man was sitting at the main seat, Murong Shuqing said the opening of the table. Pei Che and Xuanyuan Yi looked at each other, and he also saw doubts in his eyes, both of them remained calm. Soon, a table full of dishes was served.
"Xuanyuan, it's been a long time since I ate with you. The last time I was at the same table, you were still a child. It's been over ten years." Murong Xiang still admires this child very much. He is brave and resourceful, but he doesn't like him. baby girl! what a pity!
Xuanyuan Yi had always had no good feelings for the Murong family members, but the elders raised the glass, so he had no choice but to raise the glass, but did not answer Murong Xiang's words. Xuanyuan Yi was not enthusiastic, the scene was quite embarrassing, and Murong Xiang's face turned dark. Pei Che secretly laughed, Xuanyuan Yi's temper was really not afraid of offending people.
Raising a glass together, Pei Che smiled and said, "Old man is too polite, it should be our juniors who respect you."
Pei Che made a round in time, and Murong Xiang also responded: "Okay, let's have a drink together."
"Yue'er, what do you want to eat?" The three of them responded in a vague way. From beginning to end, Murong Shuqing was taking care of the little girl beside him to eat, and he didn't even look at Xuanyuan Yi. Outsiders couldn't see it, but Pei Che clearly felt that the "general" beside him was in a bad mood tonight.
"Well... I want that." Murong Xingyue said in a low voice, her body digging straight into Murong Shuqing's arms. She kept her little head down, she was so afraid of her father, she felt that her father didn't like her, and there were a lot of people today.
