Fast Time Traveling Moon Old Candidate

Chapter 273 The next song (28)

There were two lanterns at the gate of the county government office, and a young servant was dozing off against a pillar.

"Ahem." Bai Lu coughed quietly and immediately woke up the boy.

"Miss, you're back." The servant rubbed his eyes, resisted the sleepiness and stood up straight, and opened the door for Bai Lu.

"It's getting late, go back and rest, I don't have to guard the gate when I come back." Seeing how sleepy he was, Bai Lu simply let him go to rest.

"Thank you, miss!" The servant got the order to go down to rest early, handed the lantern in his hand to Bai Lu, nodded and bowed to send Bai Lu in, then went around to the corner gate and went back to the yard to rest.

The front yard of the county government office has been turned off. It seems that Bai Mingxi has finished his business and returned to the yard. With a lantern in his hand, Bai Lu walked back to her room along the stone road.

"Miss, you're back." The maid who was in charge of serving Bai Lu stayed in the side room, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she hurried out, just in time to see Bai Lu push the door open.

"En." Bai Lu nodded, entered the room, and put the lantern in her hand on the table.

The maid followed her footsteps into the room, lit up the lights in the room, and then asked, "Madam has made sweet soup for Miss, and it's warming up on the stove in the small kitchen. Would Miss want a drink?"

Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Bai Lu took the silk flower on her hair from the mirror, "I don't need it for now, let's prepare hot water first, I want to take a bath."

"Yes, Miss." The maid answered with a knee, and trotted out to prepare hot water for Bai Lu.

Raising her hand and looking at the cloisonné enamel bracelet on her wrist, Bai Lu couldn't help but raise her other hand and rub it gently, but it seemed that the warmth of Fan Wenfu's fingers still remained on the bracelet, and Bai Lu couldn't help but wince when her fingers were hot.

Bai Lu pursed her lips, feeling that her appearance was too strange, and the root of this 'strangeness' was the bracelet on her hand, so she simply took off the bracelet, put it back in the small box, and put it back into the jewelry on the shelf.

The maid moved very quickly, and after a while, the hot water was ready. Bai Lu tied her long black hair on top of her head, took off her clothes and stuffed it into the barrel.

The warm water wrapped her body, Bai Lu leaned against the wall of the barrel relaxedly, her eyes watched the beams gradually lose focus, and Fan Wenfu's eyes appeared in front of her unconsciously. Peach blossom eyes full of affection.

'Wow!'!
Bai Lu poured a handful of water on her face, and it took her four years to get those eyes out of her dream. Now, everything seems to be back to the original point.

'knock knock'

Someone knocked on the door suddenly, interrupting Bai Lu's thoughts.

"Who is it?" Bai Lu sat up, pulled the towel that was put aside to cover her body, leaned out slightly, and opened her mouth towards the door.

"Ninny, what are you doing?" Cao Mumei's gentle voice sounded from outside the room, and Bai Lu finally relaxed again, but at this hour, it seems that no one else came to look for her except mother.

"Mother, wait a moment." Bai Lu said loudly to the outside while getting up from the bathtub.

Cao Mumei heard the sound of water coming from inside, and knew that Bai Lu was taking a bath, so she didn't urge her anymore, turned around and went to the small kitchen, and saw that the sweet soup she brought over at night was still warming on the stove at this time, took a tray, and put Put the sweet soup on top and take it with you.

"Mother." When Bai Lu opened the door, Cao Mumei just walked to the door. Bai Lu turned her body slightly, and Cao Mumei entered the room with the tray.

Cao Mumei sat on the soft couch, and put the tray in her hand on the low table, "Why did you go to Du's mansion so suddenly today? Your father and I only found out that the boy came back with an empty carriage."

"Today when Du Runhan came back from the exam, Aunt Du said that he would hold a table and banquet for him. I wanted to be happy, so I went." Bai Lu untied her hair from her head, and her long black hair fell like a waterfall. A silky sheen.

Cao Mumei pushed the bowl of sweet soup in Bai Lu's direction, "I've grown up with Han'er, this year's provincial examination should be a sure thing, but congratulations before the results are released, so I'm not afraid of attracting gossip. "

"It's okay." Bai Lu held the spoon and sipped the sweet soup, "It's said to be a banquet, but it's just a family banquet. Besides trying to make Du Runhan happy, I also want to help others clean up the dust..." Speaking of which, Bai Lu suddenly paused, and her hand that was scooping up the sweet soup trembled.

"Huh? Is there a guest in the Du mansion?" Cao Mumei was a little curious and couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"Hmm..." Bai Lu nodded, "Brother Wen Fu is back."

Cao Mumei was a little surprised. The grandson of the Duke of this country has never been to Changhe County since he left five years ago. Why did he come back so quietly now?
Although surprised, she quickly straightened her expression, "Did your Aunt Du say anything to you at this banquet?"

"Speaking of which, mother, Aunt Du has something for me to tell you." Bai Lu put down the sweet soup in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Aunt Du said today that I'm going to be late soon. It's better to decide on the marriage as soon as possible, she will come to the mansion in a few days and talk to you about it."

Cao Mumei frowned slightly, and as soon as Bai Lu finished speaking, she immediately understood in her heart that Mrs. Du was planning to propose marriage to her son.

The Du Mansion is one of the most famous nobles in Changhe County, otherwise, how can the daughter-in-law marry the son of the Duke's Mansion as the wife? In the current Du Mansion, the masters of the Du Mansion are the masters of the Du Mansion, that is, Du Runhan and Du Pingsi. Father, it is said that Mrs. Du is in charge of the backyard, but it is Mrs. Du who actually makes the decisions. To be honest, the Du family is pretty good, but they can't bear the complexity of the staff. I'm afraid my precious daughter can handle it. not come.

But this is just my own thoughts, I don't know what attitude my precious girl has.

"Ninny, how do you feel about Han'er?" Cao Mumei smiled softly, asked softly, and asked a question that was more tactful but not easy to answer.

Bai Lu tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's okay, Du Runhan is not a bad person except that he sometimes loses his temper."

Cao Mumei lowered her eyes, "That's it." From Bai Lu's words, she almost understood, that is, she didn't feel anything.

"It's getting late, mother has to go back first, baby girl, you should go to bed earlier, don't read, reading at night will hurt your eyes." Cao Mumei thought again, stood up, patted Bai Lu's head, and left the room .

Bai Lu blinked her eyes, she was a little dumbfounded when she asked her mother's question, how does it feel, everyone is acting strange tonight.

Thinking of this, Bai Lu's hand unconsciously stroked her wrist, but only touched the empty sleeve. Suddenly she was not used to it, but soon smiled again, not only them, but she also became strange.

"Oh." Bai Lu sighed, got up from the soft couch, blew out the candles, leaving only the one beside the bed, pulled down the partition curtain, and fell asleep with mixed thoughts.
