Fu Tingzhou didn't want to sneer, and said, "the last time I saw her, she was low and fragile, and told me that she wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. I still remember the look in her eyes, and I can't bear to force her. The sadness in her tone You can't fake it, do you still want to pretend you don't know?"
Lu Heng shook his head with a smile, looked at the peach blossoms in front of him and the warmth of spring, and said calmly, "Why don't you dare to admit that the person she likes is me, and she is willing to stay?"
With a cold face, Fu Tingzhou categorically rejected: "Impossible."
Lu Heng chuckled lightly, and suddenly withdrew his smile, and said in a deep voice, "If you really care about her, why don't you worry about whether she will encounter danger on the road alone? Will she be able to live in peace after returning to Datong? Send someone to follow her, and you'll know she hasn't left."
Fu Tingzhou retorted subconsciously, but opened his mouth but was speechless. Lu Heng seized the opportunity and continued: "If she hadn't met you ten years ago, you wouldn't have had a chance to fight with me. You don't know her, you can't give her the life she really wants, or even give her the life she really wants. Her identity is justifiable. You are not the type she likes at all. If fate hadn't forcibly linked you together, if both of us appeared at the same time, even if there was no memory loss, she would never choose you."
Lu Heng's words hit Fu Tingzhou's painful foot, and Fu Tingzhou burst out with blue veins on the back of his hand. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't confuse right and wrong. Do you dare to say that you have no intention of taking advantage of her?"
"I did think about it at first." There was no one else here, Lu Heng admitted generously. He said frankly: "However, when she woke up, I looked at those clean and beautiful eyes and thought that it would be a pity to send such a beauty back to you. I would also like to know, if I really used her to drive Conditions, how much are you willing to concede?"
Fu Tingzhou clenched his hands into fists, and blue veins appeared on his forehead: "You..."
Before Fu Tingzhou could speak, Lu Heng had already interrupted him: "But, there is no such thing in the world. You only need the help of others to get the military power, and I got all of this today by myself; you can't control it. Family matters, and I can freely choose the woman I like; just because you need to wrong her to be a concubine, and I will not let my woman suffer in the slightest, the affairs between you, me, and her, even if you have to do it all over again Over and over, you are still not my opponent."
To be robbed of a woman in front of him, and to move out of power to oppress him, is a double humiliation for a man. However, Fu Tingzhou couldn't say anything to refute, because Lu Heng was indeed better than him in terms of official position, merit and status.
Fu Tingzhou's heart was like a slow knife, but he forcibly endured it and swallowed all the blood and tears back into his stomach. His voice was gloomy, and he said coldly: "The hatred of taking a wife is not shared by the sky. Lu Heng, it will be a long time in Japan, we will wait and see."
Lu Heng laughed. He hadn't heard such a funny joke for a long time. His eyes were slightly curved, and light amber waves shone in them: "Okay, I'll wait for you. But I'll remind you one last time, you're not hers. A good match, look at it as soon as possible, it will be good for others and yourself."
Fu Tingzhou just sneered at this. Lu Heng won people's love, so he stood here with hypocrisy. If the person who was robbed of love was him, Fu Tingzhou didn't believe that Lu Heng would look away.
That is to say, Lu Heng did not really persuade people much. Lu Heng straightened his sleeves, turned and walked back. He took two steps, and when he crossed Fu Tingzhou's shoulder, he casually whispered: "However, I want to thank you for one thing. You have raised her for ten years, and you have never overstepped the threshold. I admire this very much."
Fu Tingzhou's last sense of reason broke, he couldn't bear to clench his fists, and attacked Lu Heng. Just as his hand was half stretched, a cold knife held it. Lu Heng held the embroidered spring knife with one hand and held Fu Tingzhou's joint.
The embroidered spring knife was black and rigid, and the slender scabbard lay across the clothes, giving it a sense of threat. Fu Tingzhou's mind that was dazzled by jealousy slowly cooled down. Today is Shang Si Festival, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes there are. It's easy for him to be angry for a while, but once he really does it, it will give Lu Heng a handle. After that, Lu Heng uses the topic to play, even if the trouble comes to Fu Tingzhou before the saint.
Seeing that Fu Tingzhou had figured it out, Lu Heng sighed boringly, and the smile in his eyes became more intense. He took back the knife and wiped the place where he touched Fu Tingzhou with the veil, and loosened it lightly, and the veil floated into the water with the wind: "I kindly asked the Marquis of Zhenyuan to come for a wedding wine at the wedding, but Marquis Zhenyuan gave me this This is a great gift. I will keep it in mind for Marquis Zhenyuan, and I will definitely send you an invitation when I and Qingqing's child will hold a full moon wine in the future."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, he glanced at Fu Tingzhou with a smile, turned to leave, and exposed his back to Fu Tingzhou. Fu Tingzhou stared at Lu Heng's back, his fingers clenched into fists, turned around suddenly, and threw a heavy fist on the tree trunk.
The petals rustled down like a pale pink snow. Falling flowers floated on the water, were instantly wetted by the running water, swirled and sank, no longer pure and beautiful as before. Fu Tingzhou watched this scene, and it suddenly sounded that the day he and Qingqing talked about the incense, it was also snowing. Half of the snowflakes were pure white and flawless, and half of them were trampled into the soil, just like before.
Since that day, he has lost her.
Mrs. Xu accompanied Wang Yanqing and Hong Wanqing to the riverside to see flowers, but after walking out for a long time, the atmosphere in the team was a bit strange.
Mrs. Xu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong. Wang Yanqing always smiled gently, no matter what Mrs. Xu said, she always listened with a smile. She had a good temperament and was well-bred, and she could not tell that she was the most powerful lady of the Jinyiwei governor in the capital. And the Miss Fu family bowed their heads and said nothing along the way. Women who have not left the cabinet should be chaste, and this must not be wrong. Hong Wanqing also lost the dignity of Mrs. Hou, but she was taciturn. Some, his face stinks.
No one was there to cheer, and Mrs. Xu couldn't get hot even if she was chatty. Mrs. Xu couldn't sing her one-man show anymore, and said, "I'm tired after walking for a long time. I see a pavilion in front of me. Let's go and sit."
Wang Yanqing replied with a smile, Hong Wanqing and Miss Fu did not express their opinions, and Mrs. Xu took it as they agreed. A group of people with maids and attendants sat down in the pavilion.
After Mrs. Xu sat down, she found that the two maids next to Wang Yanqing came forward, wiped the stone bench swiftly, put it on the brocade cushion, and then retreated behind Wang Yanqing, standing quietly in a position where she could observe all directions of entry and exit. This whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, Wang Yanqing sat down with her long skirt Shi Shiran, and did not show the slightest bragging, as if this was something she was used to seeing, and it was not worth caring about.
The pavilion was quiet for a moment, and everyone was pampered noble wives, who were not servants and spent a lot of money, but when they were seated, only the maids of the Lu residence put a brocade mat on Wang Yanqing. In comparison, they looked like rough people.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu is really particular about it. As expected of a person from the Lu family, she is smart in doing things. How did Mrs. teach you, can you teach me some secrets?"
When Wang Yanqing heard it, she realized that Mrs. Xu was talking about Lingxi Lingluan. She smiled and said, "How can I be so capable? They follow my husband all the time, and my husband is in charge. Each of them has unique skills, but because I am trapped in the house, I still feel sorry for them."
Mrs. Xu gave a shallow "Oh", it was cultivated by Lu Heng, then it's all right. Mrs. Xu saw that Wang Yanqing naturally called Lu Heng her husband, and Lu Heng also handed over the well-trained female spy to Wang Yanqing, and couldn't help but tease: "Mrs. Lu and the governor have such a good relationship, one husband and one kiss, it makes my teeth sour. It really is a young couple, mixing oil with honey."
Wang Yanqing was thin-skinned, and was teased in person by others, her ears quickly turned red: "My wife is joking. He said that the official title is too unfamiliar, so I changed it to husband."
Mrs. Xu couldn't help laughing. She was rolling around in the fame and fortune circle of the capital. How many famous and noble women she had met, everyone was in a lively atmosphere, and this was the first time she had seen a serious explanation.
Mrs. Xu was used to seeing Fengyue, and her eyes were very old. The details between husband and wife can't deceive anyone. The maid of Lu's house is very respectful to Wang Yanqing. When Wang Yanqing mentions Lu Heng, the corners of his eyes and brows are full of trust. On the contrary, the other pair had a somewhat detached taste.
Unexpectedly, Lu Heng was ruthless, but liked this type of woman. But Mrs. Xu can also understand after thinking about it. The more vicious and selfish she is, the more she yearns for pure whiteness. The things in this world are so strange.
Mrs. Xu's heart was clear, but her face was not pierced, and she was still joking with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, whatever you call Governor Lu is a boudoir, and there is no need to explain it to us. It doesn't matter whether we like it or not, Governor Lu likes it. enough."
Wang Yanqing became more and more smeared, blushed in the laughter of the crowd, and refused to answer any more.
Since Wang Yanqing's appearance, Mrs. Xu's focus has obviously shifted to Wang Yanqing, and she has neglected Hong Wanqing a lot. Hong Wanqing listened to the jokes over there with cold eyes, and the more she listened, the more she felt air-blocked.
Flirtatious, dissolute, indiscreet. A wife is not something for a man's pastime. How can you call your husband in front of a guest when you are away from home
Hong Wanqing was angry at Wang Yanqing for a moment, and at the same time angry with Mrs. Xu for being flattering. She couldn't sit any longer, and was about to find a chance to say goodbye when she suddenly saw a slender, vermilion-colored shadow walking on the road. The spring breeze blows the willows, the grass grows and the warbler flies, he walks on the long steps of falling flowers, and the spring scenery in the garden seems to be no match for the three-point smile on his brow.
When the female relatives in the pavilion saw him, they all stood up unknowingly. Lu Heng nodded to everyone and said, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone talking. But she has a cold constitution and can't sit on a stone for a long time. I'll take her away first."
Mrs. Xu has lived for so many years. She has only seen her mother explain her daughter, and this is the first time she has heard a man remind his wife to protect her from the cold. Mrs. Xu seemed to have seen some strange creature and asked, "Does the governor still know that women are cold?"
Lu Heng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said calmly: "I don't know, it's just because Madam has a cold body that I know a thing or two. She didn't pay attention to it before, and she left some problems. Now she must pay more attention, otherwise it will not be easy to conceive a child."
Wang Yanqing was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly ran down the steps carrying her skirt, secretly pinching his arm: "In front of so many people, what nonsense are you talking about."
Lu Heng grabbed her hand with a smile, and took her to stand beside him: "She is thin-skinned, Mrs. Xu understands, let's go first."
Mrs. Xu knew it, Wang Yanqing's eyebrows were gentle and clear, and her skin was lustrous and lustrous, and it could be seen that the husband and wife were working hard to conceive a child. Mrs. Xu made a show of her age and said with a smile, "It's alright, alright, I'm older, I can't compare to your younger ones. Come on, don't let me delay you."
Wang Yanqing's cheeks were flushed, and she reluctantly pretended to be calm and said goodbye to everyone, and left generously. But Mrs. Xu didn't miss it, Lu Heng kept holding Wang Yanqing's hand.
After the two left, Mrs. Xu sat down again and said with emotion, "Young couples are so nice. There are endless jokes and sticky enthusiasm all day long."
Seeing Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng hugging and holding hands with their own eyes, the Miss Fu family blushed and bowed their heads, not daring to look closely. Hong Wanqing sat aside, pulled the corners of his mouth bluntly, and suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, I still have something to go to Hou Ye. Mrs. Xu sit down, I'll say goodbye first."
Mrs. Xu stood up and greeted her warmly. After the others walked away, she looked at Hong Wanqing's back, restrained her smile, and shook her head gently.
That's all, what's the matter with her husband and wife
Hong Wanqing was looking forward to the Shangsi Festival for a month. She originally went out happily, but she met Wang Yanqing halfway through, and all her good mood disappeared. Especially when she found Fu Tingzhou, she found that Fu Tingzhou had injured his hand.
Hong Wanqing endured all the way, and after returning to the mansion, she couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out with Fu Tingzhou: "Master Hou, what's wrong with your hand?"
When I went to see the Chen family just now, Fu Tingzhou said that he was in a bad mood, and when he heard Hong Wanqing eating gunpowder, he questioned him, and said coldly: "I said just now, I accidentally scratched on the tree. "
Scraped on a tree? Can such a deep wound leave such traces without smashing something hard? Hong Wanqing thought that Lu Heng was coming from that direction. When she looked for it, Fu Tingzhou stared at the water in despair. Combining all the signs, it was not difficult to guess what happened.
With all kinds of stuffiness gathered together today, Hong Wanqing couldn't help but stabbed: "Did you scrape on a tree or did you have a conflict with someone? Lord Hou, you are the Hou of Zhenyuan, and you are responsible for the face of the Hou's Mansion. My uncle is right. You give high hopes, but you should not do anything that will hurt the dignity of the two governments."
Hong Wanqing regretted as soon as she finished speaking. Was she crazy to say such a thing to Fu Tingzhou? Hong Wanqing saw Fu Tingzhou's face getting colder, and she felt remorse in her heart. She immediately said with red eyes: "Master Hou, I'm so angry that I don't choose to say anything. I also see that you pay too much attention to her, and it's tempting... "
It's a pity that the methods of trying Bailing in Yongping Hou's mansion did not work for Fu Tingzhou. He stood up and said coldly: "You are the jewel in the palm of Wuding Hou and Yongping Hou, how can I dare to treat the Hong family daughter badly? In one day, you will never let the Fu family hurt your honorable daughter of Yongping Hou Qianjin."
After Fu Tingzhou finished speaking, he turned around and left. Hong Wanqing burst into tears and hurried to hold Fu Tingzhou's hand, but he pushed him away before she touched it. As soon as the door opened and closed, the wind from the outside blew in, and Hong Wanqing stood blankly on the ground, like falling into an ice cave.
Seeing that Fu Tingzhou's face was wrong when he went out, the dowry hurriedly came in to check. When she saw Hong Wanqing, she hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Hou, what's wrong?"
When Hong Wanqing saw the dowry mama, she seemed to have found the backbone, and tears streamed down her face: "Mammy, I seem to have said the wrong thing."
When the dowry mama finished listening to Hong Wanqing's words, her scalp was numb. This is more than saying the wrong thing, this is simply throwing the love of husband and wife on the ground and stepping on it.
Brothers can't stand to talk about things every day with kindness, let alone husband and wife. The marriage between Hong Wanqing and Fu Tingzhou is to get what they need. Now the Marquis of Wuding pushes Fu Tingzhou. In the future, when Fu Tingzhou's power grows, he will give back to Marquis Wuding. Beijing is accustomed to this kind of marriage model, Hong Wanqing should never be wrong, should not tell the truth, and also involve Wu Dinghou.
But at this point, can the dowry still say that Hong Wanqing did something wrong? She could only persuade Hong Wanqing to solve it in a good direction: "Mrs. Hou, don't worry, when your lips are still knocking against your teeth, the husband and wife are facing each other, how can you not fight? You and Hou Ye are both young, You have a lot of energy, wait for Lord Hou to ease this anger, you can send some cakes and serve it softly, and this matter will be over."
Hong Wanqing burst into tears and asked expectantly, "Really?"
The dowry is not Fu Tingzhou, how does she know? But the dowry mama can only bite the bullet and nod, and swear: "Really."
Hong Wanqing finally felt at ease. She let go of her worries about her future and remembered what happened during the day. Hong Wanqing said indignantly: "Mommy, you didn't see it today. When he saw that woman, he didn't even blink his eyes. Isn't it because he has a pretty face, why are Hou Ye and Dudu Lu like that? Superficial, everyone is holding her."
The dowry maid had already heard the accompanying maid talk about the outside world, and also knew that the green plum that Fu Tingzhou had never forgotten, is now Lu Heng's wife. After marrying Lu Heng, they couldn't help demeaning them. Jinyiwei was very powerful. If Jinyiwei listened to it, some of them would eat good fruit.
So Hong Wanqing didn't dare to say Wang Yanqing's name even if she was angry. The dowry didn't dare to mention it, and said vaguely: "Every family has a difficult scripture to read. Who knows when the door is closed. Don't worry too much about your own life, only you know it."
Hong Wanqing vented for a while, then calmed down slowly. Yes, who said that Wang Yanqing would get married to Lu Heng, someone like Lu Heng doesn't know how to torture people in private. She has the support of her mother's family and the care of her uncle. After all, she is better off.
Now in the Lu Mansion, Wang Yanqing is indeed preventing Lu Heng from torturing her.
Wang Yanqing unbuttoned her jewelry, she glanced at Lu Heng in the mirror, and said, "I'll tell you in advance, I don't know anything about today's affairs, so don't use the topic for a while and bring it to me again."
Lu Heng sat on the side watching Wang Yanqing remove his makeup. Hearing this, he laughed, put down the teacup and walked towards Wang Yanqing: "I know. You shouldn't be so protective of me, am I the kind of person who makes trouble without reason?"
Wang Yanqing smiled and did not speak. If he was reasonable, there would be no scoundrels on that day. Wang Yanqing removed the jade hairpins that fastened the bun on both sides, and the long hair poured down like a waterfall. Lu Heng picked up a strand and fondled it.
"Qingqing, I saw my old friend today, what do you think?"
Wang Yanqing took out a rhinoceros horn comb from her dressing gown, brushed it through her hair, and said casually, "What can I think. Didn't you arrange it on purpose?"
When Lu Heng heard this, he shouted that he was wronged. He took the comb from Wang Yanqing's hand and slid it from the root to the end of her hair like holding a bucket of water: "I will take you to see him on purpose because of the amount of water in my head. It was really unexpected for me to meet him. outside."
Lu Heng wanted to take Wang Yanqing to announce to the whole city, but Fu Tingzhou was not among these people. When Lu Heng first saw Fu Tingzhou, he wanted to turn his head and leave, but because there were so many people, he reluctantly endured it.
God knows how many times Lu Heng despised bad luck in his heart.
Lu Heng could only believe half of what he said. Wang Yanqing looked at the figure behind him from the mirror and mercilessly pierced his mind: "But in my opinion, you are clearly proud of yourself."
After they left, he didn't know what Lu Heng said to Fu Tingzhou alone, but he was in high spirits all the way, and the corners of his eyes and brows were all triumphant. It's too shameless to come to her and sell miserably.
Lu Heng smiled and put the comb on the dressing table, swiped his fingers through Wang Yanqing's long hair, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Qingqing, I met your real second brother, you didn't ask us what we talked about, Just accuse me?"
"How dare I accuse you?" Wang Yanqing was too lazy to pay attention to him. She got up from the mirror and walked around Lu Heng to the clean room, "I can't tell you, I admit defeat. Can you let me take a shower?"
The flowing strands of hair were pulled from Lu Heng's palm. Lu Heng stood in front of the dressing table, watching Wang Yanqing bypass him, and walked towards the bathroom without turning his head. He didn't change his face and walked back to his original position, drank the remaining half of the tea, and then got up unhurriedly.
Wang Yanqing took off his clothes and just dipped into the water when he heard footsteps behind him. She secretly scolded a shameless person, but she was short-lived without clothes, so she didn't have time to put on her clothes, so she could only grab some petals from the side and randomly sprinkle them on the water, so that it could cover a little.
Then, Wang Yanqing straightened her neck and said unyieldingly: "You took me to the Shangsi Festival, and you took the road to encounter Zhenyuan Hou's mansion. I didn't do anything wrong, why did you have it?"
Lu Heng had already gone around the screen and walked to the tub. Wang Yanqing felt his gaze and sank silently into the water. Lu Heng propped himself up by the tub, his fingers gently lifted a handful of water, and washed down the red petals stuck to Wang Yanqing's collarbone.
Lu Heng said, "Who do you take me for? You are not at fault, and I didn't come here to ask for guilt. But Qingqing, did you forget that today is the Shang Si Festival?"
Wang Yanqing was inexplicable, but with what she knew about Lu Heng, no matter what Lu Heng mentioned, there was only one purpose. Wang Yanqing covered her chest with her hands and leaned to the other side alertly: "You... don't mess around."
Lu Heng smiled leisurely, calmly watching Wang Yanqing's stubborn, panic-stricken eyes, and threatening him with a strong posture, like a rabbit baring its teeth, running from the tiger's left paw to the right paw. Lu Heng was in a happy mood, and he also wanted to pay attention to some fun: "Qingqing, do you know why women go to the water to bathe on the Shangsi Festival?"
Wang Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Lan Tang wards off evil spirits and blesses disasters."
Lu Heng let out a chuckle, and he tried his best to endure it, but he still found it very funny: "You still answer me. All right, let's finish this question. Although the Shangsi Festival is for the sake of eliminating sickness, but at the beginning, But it is to worship Gao Yu. Do you know what kind of god Gao Yu is?"
Wang Yanqing shook her head, she didn't know why Lu Heng had such an academic question with her in the bathroom. Lu Heng read so many books with the emperor, but he never thought that it would be used in such a place one day.
Lu Heng took off his clothes calmly, while slowly explaining Wang Yanqing's doubts: "Gao Qi is the god of marriage and fertility. But I think it's better to ask God than to ask yourself. It's more convenient for me to do this kind of thing."
Wang Yanqing was speechless, and after a long circle, he returned to the starting point. She said angrily, "What does this have to do with the Shangsi Festival?"
"It doesn't matter, I just want to do it, and I will create a reason if there is no reason. Qingqing, now I'll give you two choices. Do you like to be in the front or the back?"
The author says:
Lu Heng: Today I am an academic dog.
(literally, not meant to be disrespectful to academic researchers)
