When you come, you are full of interest and feel happy, but when you return, you are in low spirits and full of worries.
Sitting in the carriage, Ling Jingyan, Jiang and others were talking and laughing from time to time. Ling Jingshu was so distracted that she didn't hear a few words at all. The words the Emperor Taisun said kept swirling in his mind.
When did Wei Yan go to find the emperor's grandson
What on earth did he say to the emperor's grandson
What is he going to do
Although the emperor's grandson was vague and refused to say it clearly, her intuition told her that this matter must have something to do with her...
"A-Shu, A-Shu," Ling Jingyan leaned over enthusiastically and tugged on Ling Jingshu's sleeves: "You haven't spoken since you got on the carriage. What are you thinking about?"
Ling Jingshu came back to her senses and smiled covertly: "It's nothing. I was just thinking that there are so many guests coming to watch Miss Jiang San and Hairpin today, it's really lively."
Ling Jingyan was so careless that she didn't notice Ling Jingshu's misspoken words at all, and agreed with envy: "Yes, her hair extensions ceremony was so grand and beautiful! When it's our turn next year to have hair extensions ceremony, I wonder if it will be like this Lively."
Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes at Ling Jingyan angrily: "Don't have such wishful thinking. Our Ling family has a shallow foundation in the capital, so we don't have so many relatives and friends."
The crown prince, princess, concubine and grandson came together to watch the ceremony. Only Miss Jiang San was worthy of this dignity and scenery.
Ling Jingyan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Mom, I was just talking casually!"
With the lively and lovely Ling Jingyan here, the atmosphere could not be heavy.
Mrs. Sun smiled and looked at Mr. Jiang again, and said pointedly: "It makes sense that the Crown Princess and the Grand Prince come to the British Duke's residence. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also showed up today, but it was quite unexpected."
Jiang clearly guessed some clues and responded vaguely: "Yeah, I'm surprised too!"
Sun smiled meaningfully and quickly changed the subject.
…
The carriage stopped in front of Ling Mansion.
Everyone got off the carriage one by one.
The concierge greeted him with an attentive smile: "Madam, you are finally back. Today there are distinguished guests in the mansion. The master is not in the mansion on duty. Fortunately, the Fifth Master and Young Master Xiao are there to greet the guests..."
Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are the guests?"
The concierge smiled and said, "It's the two young masters of the Lu family who are here."
Lu Hong Lu Qian
Ling Jingshu paused and frowned slightly. As expected, Lu Qian followed Lu Hong to the capital. Moreover, the Ling family came to the capital as soon as they arrived.
Ah Shu's illness was all caused by the Lu brothers. Fortunately, they both still had the dignity to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Ling Jingyan became more and more indignant. She leaned close to Ling Jingshu and whispered in a low voice: "Ah Shu, if you don't want to see them two, don't go to the inner hall. Just go back to the path."
Ling Jingshu said lightly: "That's not necessary. I'd better go to the inner hall and show my face!"
Lu Hong was thin-skinned, and she would avoid seeing him. Lu Hong would not be shameless and stay away, but Lu Qian was different. If I can't see her today, I'm afraid he won't leave.
Trouble has come, and there is no way to escape it.
…
As soon as everyone stepped onto the threshold of the inner hall, the two young men who were originally sitting stood up with surprise on their faces.
One is wearing a sapphire blue brocade robe, with a long body and a jade-like face.
One was wearing an indigo brocade robe, with fair skin and a delicate face.
It was the two brothers Lu Hong and Lu Qian.
After nearly half a year apart, Lu Hong has not changed much, he is still gentle and handsome. Lu Qian's body has become stronger and taller, and he has the demeanor of a young man who has just grown up.
The two brothers' eyes fell on Ling Jingshu's face at the same time. Lu Hong was a little more restrained, took one look and then looked away. Lu Qian's eyes were so hot that they were almost greedy.
Ling Wuye saw this and was quite unhappy. He coughed hard: "Sister-in-law, Ah Hong and Ah Qian just arrived in the capital yesterday and came to visit early this morning. It's a pity that you went to the British government as a guest. The two brothers I have been waiting here for you to come back."
Mrs. Sun raised a smile and walked forward and greeted her affectionately: "If I had known that you two would come, I would have stayed in the house today no matter what."
Although I don't want to see the Lu brothers, they are the sons of the Ling family after all, and they are also Uncle Ling's direct nephews. As an aunt, she cannot lose her etiquette in terms of face.
Lu Hong responded with a polite smile: "Our brother came too abruptly, how can we blame my aunt. Before we came, we should have sent a greeting card."
"They are all members of our own family, so what kind of greetings are there for us?" Mrs. Sun continued to say polite words: "You can come over anytime you want in the future."
The words were spoken affectionately, and the smile on his face was quite enthusiastic.
But Lu Hong was still sensitive to something strange. Sun's enthusiasm was only superficial, but he didn't really welcome the two brothers.
I've had this feeling since morning.
When the two brothers arrived at Ling Mansion, Ling Wu Master, Ling Xiao and his son, stayed with them for most of the day. Ling Xiao rarely talks, but he has been silent today. Mr. Ling Wu looked gentle, but in fact he was not very enthusiastic. The two of them were so shameless that they waited until now...
There must be some inside information that they don't know.
Lu Qian's heart was focused on Ling Jingshu, and he didn't notice this at all. After finally enduring the greetings with the elders, he couldn't wait to walk up to Ling Jingshu: "Cousin Shu, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year since we parted ways in Dingzhou. How are you doing in the capital?"
Ling Jingyan rushed forward and protected Ling Jingshu behind her: "Ah Shu is doing well in the capital. Thank you for your concern, cousin."
He was talking to Ling Jingshu, and Ling Jingyan came to join in the fun.
Lu Qian muttered to himself, moved two steps to the left, and continued to look at Ling Jingshu: "Cousin Shu, my eldest brother is coming to the capital to study. I asked my father and mother for permission to come to the capital with my eldest brother. I will live in my second uncle's house. The house is not far from the Ling family. From now on, we can come and go often when we are in the capital together... "
Ling Jingyan interjected with a smile: "There are differences between men and women. Frequent coming and going will easily attract criticism, so let's not use it!"
Lu Qian: "..."
No matter how dull he was, Lu Qian could still see Ling Jingyan's hostility towards him.
Being protected by Ling Jingyan in this way made Ling Jingshu feel very sad. The original gloom and irritability caused by the appearance of the Lu Qian brothers also dissipated.
"Cousin Qian, I didn't expect you to come to the capital with Cousin Lu." Ling Jingshu said calmly: "If you have time to come to the Ling family as a guest, I will certainly welcome you. However, Cousin Yan did not say that. Wrong. There are differences between men and women, even if they are cousins, they have to avoid suspicion."
There was obvious coldness and alienation in his words.
Lu Qian couldn't laugh anymore. (To be continued)
