Married Thrice to Salted Fish

One autumn rain and one cold, the rain vapor took away the last lingering heat of summer.In front of the Yuluo hall, a large water tank was placed in the hall, and the rainwater hit the water surface, and the sound of rustling could be heard endlessly.

Hua Lu passed by the study room, saw the window was open and the lamp was still on, thought it was the young master reading in the study room, but when she walked in, she found that the person at the desk was actually her eldest young master.

Hua Lu checked again and again, wiped her eyes several times, to make sure she read correctly, and asked, "Eldest Young Master, what are you doing in the study?"

The young master only comes to the study when he wants to bother the young master, but the young master is not here right now.

Lu Wancheng said with nothing to love: "I'm solving a problem."

"Do the question?" Hua Lu leaned forward and took a look, there was a mess on the paper, she couldn't understand it anyway.She reached out to close the window, but was stopped by Lu Wancheng: "I'm dizzy, I want to blow some wind."

"No, young master." Hua Lu closed the window forcefully, "Young Master said, you can't blow cold wind right now."

Lu Wancheng dropped the pen and slumped on the wheelchair: "Headache, so tired, so annoying, I don't want to think anymore."

He has been thinking seriously for half an hour. The high-intensity mental work is really exhausting. It reminds him of the miserable days when he was tired of studying and spent time perfunctory in school.

Hua Lu thoughtfully put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "If the young master is tired, go to sleep first."

Lu Wancheng looked out the window, the sky was cloudy and rainy in autumn, it was indeed the most suitable weather for sleeping.He has been working hard for half an hour, it is time to lie down.

After Lin Qingyu took a shower, he just changed into his underwear when he heard the creaking sound of the door opening, followed by the moist cold wind blowing in.Lin Qingyu turned around, met the eyes of the visitor, and said calmly, "I'm back." His long hair was only half-dried, and it fell on his chest, soaking his inner clothes.In order to fit the body comfortably, the inner garments are made of silk, which is easy to see through when exposed to water.

Although Lin Qingyu was forced to marry someone, in the end, he was much slimmer than an adult man in his twenties and thirties, and his spotless body was faintly visible under the translucent silk.

Lu Wancheng was startled for a moment, then looked away, and said, "Why take a bath in broad daylight."

Lin Qingyu also knew that he was not dressed very solemnly now.He was still a little uncomfortable at first, but seeing that Lu Wancheng was more uncomfortable than him, he became more at ease: "There is a rule in the Hou Mansion that you can't take a bath during the day?"

"No, but it's easy to be seen by people taking a bath during the day." Lu Wancheng teased rather impertinently, "No, I saw you. Are you angry?"

Lin Qingyu became more and more calm: "Don't be angry. You and I are both men and sworn brothers, I don't mind."

Lu Wancheng covered his chest: "If you mention the word 'jieyi' again, believe it or not, I'll vomit blood for you."

Lin Qingyu's eyes flickered.With Lu Wancheng's current body, once he vomits blood, it's really time to prepare for his funeral.

"Okay, don't mention it."

Lu Wancheng suddenly had a flattered expression.Seeing that his complexion was not good, Lin Qingyu helped him to bed and checked his pulse. "You don't seem to be sleeping very well lately?"

"Isn't that a cough? It's strange that I can sleep well."

Lin Qingyu saw through it, and said: "People who have been ill for a long time are most afraid of worrying. Wan Cheng, no matter what it is, you have to relax."

Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "I will try my best."

After the autumn rain, the sky was clear, and Lu Wancheng's health improved slightly.The side branch of the Lu family lived in Nan'anhou's residence for half a month, and finally had to leave.Lu Baishuo specially came to Lanfeng Pavilion to bid farewell to the two, saying that they would leave for Lin'an tomorrow.

Lu Baishuo was quite touched.When he came to live in Nan'anhou Mansion last year, Lu Wancheng was not so seriously ill, and he was still invited out of the mansion to play together from time to time.At the time of parting, he still practiced for him in the most prestigious Jinxiuxuan in Beijing.

Jinxiuxuan is an outside building beside the river, and a signboard of "Hun Yang Di Su" surprised Lu Baishuo, who had just come to the capital at that time, astonished.After Lu Baishuo returned to Lin'an, he searched everywhere for the chef from the north, trying to restore the dish of sheep's meat, but the taste was always a little bit worse.

Lu Wancheng was amused when he heard it: "Sixth brother literally wrote the words 'please invite me to Jinxiuxuan' on his face."

Lu Baishuo said shamelessly: "Where is that? I just said it casually. But, to tell you the truth, I did go to Jinxiuxuan yesterday, but was told by the waiter in the shop that the private room had been reserved for three days. Alas, as expected of the Son of Heaven Step, I should have gone earlier."

Lin Qingyu asked: "Did you say that you are a guest of Nan'an Houfu?"

"That's not true." Lu Baishuo said in surprise, "It's just a meal, do you still need to report yourself?"

Lin Qingyu said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are dignitaries all over the place, and it's common to see the high and the low, especially in a place like Jinxiuxuan where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather. If you really want to go, you can ask the young master to accompany you."

Lu Baishuo looked at Lu Wancheng expectantly: "Is it possible? Wancheng's body..."

Lin Qingyu said: "Just take care of it carefully." Lu Wancheng's mind has obviously become heavier recently, which is not conducive to recuperating from illness, and it is good to go out to relax.

What's more, if you don't go out at this time, Lu Wancheng may... have no chance to go out to relax.

Lu Wancheng thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "Qingyu, have we never gone out together before?"

Lin Qingyu nodded.After marriage, he only went out with Lu Wancheng twice.One was to go back to the Lin Mansion, and the other was to go to Changsheng Temple, riding a carriage along the way.He may not have seen the prosperity of the capital for a long time.

"Then let's go to Jinxiuxuan for dinner together? By the way, I'll pack a copy of Hunyangshi for Brother Six and come back."

"can."

Lu Baishuo thanked the two of them, feeling that something was wrong.

Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng out the door, bringing along Huantong and several guards from the Hou Mansion.At the entrance of Yongxing Street, Lin Qingyu stopped the carriage: "This is not far from Jinxiuxuan, let's walk there."

Lu Wancheng said: "But walking is very tiring."

Lin Qingyu was speechless: "Let you go?"

"I'm not afraid that you will get tired from pushing me."

Lin Qingyu paused, and said, "It's okay." No matter how tired he was, it was only the last two or three months.

Lu Wancheng laughed lowly, and said, "Qing Yu, you've been so gentle recently, I'm almost not used to it."

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "I'm not used to you talking less recently."

Lu Wancheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do I have any?"

Lin Qingyu was noncommittal, and pushed Lu Wancheng into the crowd.

At this time, it was still early for dinner, and there were banners hanging high in front of every shop, and the shouts of vendors kept coming and going.Among the passers-by, there are ordinary people with ordinary hair, and there are also many well-dressed wealthy families. Anyone who sees a fairy-like beauty pushing a noble man in a wheelchair on the street can't help but look back. Take a few more glances.

Fortunately, both of them are used to being the focus of the crowd, so they don't think so.Huantong took a deep breath and said, "Master, do you smell the aroma of roasted chestnuts?"

Lin Qingyu said: "If you want to eat, go buy it."

Huantong said happily, "I'll go now!"

Lu Wancheng also moved his nose: "Why didn't I smell it?"

For people who are seriously ill, it is common for the five senses to fade away.Lin Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go over there and have a look."

The two came to a vendor.The stalls sell all kinds of jewelry. Although the materials are cheap, there are various styles. There are many novel and special works, including jade crowns and hairpins for men to tie their hair.Lu Wancheng thought that Lin Qingyu wanted to buy jade crowns, so he chose two for him carefully.Lin Qingyu ignored him, picked up a women's walker, weighed it a bit and paid the money.

Lu Wancheng asked: "Are you giving this to your mother-in-law?"

"No, it's for you."

"give me?"

"Buyao is about the same length as a pen. If you want to change your pen in the future, you can switch to this one. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night and have to change clothes."

Lu Wancheng took Bu Yao with a smile, and actually held it around in his hand, teasing: "No matter how gentle Doctor Lin is, Qiu still remembers it so clearly."

A few people walked around to Jinxiu Pavilion.The shopkeeper learned that they were the young masters and young masters of the Nan'an Houfu, so he ordered someone to take them to the private room for a seat without saying a word.

Jinxiu Pavilion has two floors, and the best location is on the second floor by the window.The view of the river can be seen from the outside, and the stage is facing the inside.On the stage, three or two actors are playing the piano.The sound of the piano is calm, loose and deep, and the woman playing the piano is also elegant, graceful and graceful.

Huantong listened with enthusiasm, and watched the girl with even more enthusiasm.He asked Lin Qingyu: "Master, which one do you think looks better, the girl in the blue dress or the one in the pink dress?"

Lu Wancheng thought that Lin Qingyu would not answer such boring questions, but Lin Qingyu said, "It's all good."

Lu Wancheng: "..."

Seeing Lu Wancheng's complex expression, Lin Qingyu asked, "What?"

"It's okay." Lu Wancheng said quietly, "I almost forgot that you like girls."

Lin Qingyu said: "What does this have to do with good men and good women? Everyone has the heart of appreciation."

Lu Wancheng raised his eyebrows: "Then let's get closer to appreciate it?"

"That's fine." Lin Qingyu wasn't interested, but Lu Wancheng wanted to see it, so it didn't hurt to have a look.He pushed Lu Wancheng out of the private room and stood beside the fence.

When he stopped like this, the guests on the second floor stopped listening to the song, and the girls stopped listening, and all looked at him.Fortunately, they also knew that the guests on the second floor were either rich or expensive, so they didn't dare to look at them blatantly.Sitting across from them was a man in black clothes. Lin Qingyu met his gaze, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

Lu Wancheng followed his gaze and asked, "Who is that?"

"Prince."

Lu Wancheng's lazy eyes suddenly opened.

The prince's name is Xiao Teng, and he is the eldest son of the current emperor.The Holy Majesty is the same as the Marquis of Nan'an, heirs are not well-connected, even if there are three thousand harems, there are only a few princes who grow up safely.It was hard to hope that the queen would conceive and give birth to a young child, but unexpectedly she gave birth to an idiot.However, no matter how few princes there are, there will be unavoidable battles for the reserve position.Xiao Teng and his mother and concubine planned for many years, and finally became the biggest winner, and entered the East Palace three years ago.

Xiao Teng looked at Lin Qingyu unabashedly, with the corners of his mouth curled up, showing great interest.He just looked at Lin Qingyu like this, took a sip from his wine glass, then summoned the guards and gave him some instructions.

Lin Qingyu looked away and said, "Let's go in."

Lu Wancheng said: "There's no rush, we'll just quietly watch him pretend."

The guard held Xiao Teng's used wine glass, walked half a circle and came in front of the two of them, saying: "I have met the young master, Lin Shaojun. This glass of wine was given to Shaojun by His Royal Highness, I hope Shaojun will accept it with a smile."

Lin Qingyu glanced at the wine glass, only to feel that his eyes were dirty: "No need to laugh, I don't drink."

The guard's expression changed, and he said, "Lin Shaojun, with all due respect, whose wine do you think you refused?"

"Of course it's the prince's wine." Lu Wancheng said, "Could it be the wine of the gods?"

The guard's face became more and more ugly: "Young Master and Young Master really want to reject His Highness's good intentions?"

Lu Wancheng laughed, and that laughter made the whole body chill: "You go back and tell the prince, just say - Princess Jingchun married to the north, it has been three years."

Princess Jingchun?

Lin Qingyu remembered the name.Princess Jingchun was originally a female envoy of Shangyi Bureau. Because of her good looks and bright eyes, she was favored by the King of the Northern Territory who came from afar three years ago.The king of the northern border fell in love with Jingchun at first sight, and immediately asked the emperor to marry him.

The northern border is a frontier tribe, and they have had constant disputes with our dynasty for many years.In order to stabilize the border, the Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage in person, made Jingchun the princess, betrothed her to the king of the northern border, and even asked the prince to preside over the wedding ceremony of the two to show his sincerity.

——Why did Lu Wancheng mention this person in front of the prince?

The guard had no choice but to go back and talk.Hearing this, Xiao Cheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Wancheng's face, he wanted to see some clues from it.But no matter how he looked at it, he could only see a sick man with a smile on his lips, who looked useless.

When they returned to the private room, Huantong said very uneasy: "Master, young master, that is the prince... the future emperor, if we offend him so much, will he behead him in the future?"

Lu Wancheng deliberately frightened him: "It's very possible. But at that time, I'd already been buried in the ground, and even if I beheaded, I wouldn't be able to cut off my body."

Huan Tong was scared and cried: "Little Lord..."

Lin Qingyu suddenly said: "Indeed. So you don't have to worry about this matter."

Lu Wancheng was silent for a moment, and lazily said: "Okay, listen to Doctor Lin."

After this incident, the two of them no longer had the intention to play, they ate their dinner hastily, and returned to the mansion with a piece of meat.After staying outside for half a day, Lu Wancheng was already exhausted, so he lay down on the bed to rest after washing.

It was still early, and Lin Qingyu didn't feel sleepy, so he went to the study.He has been very interested in spices recently, and has been trying to restore the incense that he smelled in Fengyi Palace that day.

Suddenly, it started raining outside again.In the midst of the night rain, Lin Qingyu suddenly saw a figure outside the window.

Lin Qingyu pushed open the window, and saw Lu Wancheng wearing a cloak, holding on to the coffin by the window, with long hair scattered, and shortness of breath, as if it took a lot of effort to walk all the way from the bedroom to here.

Lin Qingyu was stunned: "Why are you...a servant?"

Lu Wancheng answered irrelevantly: "I can't do it."

"what?"

"I don't care about other things, and I'm too lazy to care about them. But I can't do nothing about it." Lu Wancheng looked at him and said in a deep voice, "You should be born as a mountain, even if you do all the evil things , I will never let you become worthless."

Lin Qingyu opened his eyes wide.

The cold air invaded the body, Lu Wancheng coughed heart-piercingly, and slowly slid against the wall as if he could no longer stand.Lin Qingyu walked out of the study quickly, using his body to shield him from the wind and rain: "Don't talk, go back to the room first."

Lu Wancheng grabbed his arms and murmured in a low voice: "So I must find the best solution to this problem once and for all."

Lin Qingyu remained silent. He had never seen Lu Wancheng like this before, as if he was bound by an inescapable shackle, and he was completely different from the whistling young man who was leisurely and contented in the porch that day.

He always thinks that Lu Wancheng is too lazy, too big-hearted, and doesn't care about anything.But now, instead, he hopes that Lu Wancheng can spend the last time of his life heartlessly as in the past.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wancheng's hands suddenly tightened, breaking the silence: "Qing Yu."

Lin Qingyu said: "I am here."

"I think," Lu Wancheng's eyes were dark, sharp and deep, but he was a sick man after all, his face was pale, his mouth smelled of blood, and his lips were as red as blood, "...to Xiao Cheng's life."

Lin Qingyu's chest felt slightly hot.He held Lu Wancheng's trembling wrist with his backhand, and said softly, "Well, do you need help?"
