Almost at the door of the house, Lu Wang adjusted his expression and stepped across the threshold with reserved and cheerful small steps.The concierge looked at Lu Wang's behavior with no surprise, and greeted the second lady calmly.

Lu Wang passed by the hall, said hello to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu inside, walked on the cobblestone path, and warmly embraced the oncoming elder brother and younger brother.

"Hey, it's time to eat, sister, where are you going?" Lu Yuan called to stop her.

"I'm full, I don't want to eat." Lu Wang raised his hand and waved it a few times without looking back.

Lu Sui and Lu Yuan looked at each other, feeling that the matter was not simple.

Lu Sui worried: "Little Lu Wang, is it..."

Seeing that his brother hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Yuan added, "Did you find the money?"

Lu Sui raised his hand and gave him a slap, "Money, money, you know money!"

Lu Wang went back to the room and found a red string, happily hanging the small teapot bought in the afternoon around his neck.

After taking a bath, Liu Qingxu sat in front of the bronze mirror and wiped her long hair. Xiao Zhu cleaned up the things on the table, picked up a small teapot on it and asked, "Miss, what should I do with this thing?"

Liu Qingxu glanced at the teapot and said with a smile, "Put it in my glove box."

"Yes. Miss, just now the master sent someone to call the lady over."

"Well, I'll pack up and go there. You can ask someone to tell father."

When Liu Qingxu passed by, Taifu Liu was alone in the study writing a note to the Holy Majesty, "Xu'er is here? Sit down for a while."

Liu Qingxu found a chair and sat down, "What is the father's order for my daughter?"

Taifu Liu handed her the handwritten notebook: "Look."

"Hangzhou Prefecture's Chengxuan Zuo Buzheng envoy returned to his hometown? This..."

Taifu Liu stroked his beard, "The Zuo Buzheng who is going to take over this time is one of Weifu's disciples, and Weifu wants you to study with her for a period of time. Since you are both women, there will be no What bad rumors, secondly, Hangzhou is not far away, what do you think?"

"What time is it?"

"Late October or early November."

"I would like to go to Hangzhou."

Taifu Liu nodded, "Well, it will be arranged on my father's side, and you can see for yourself what else you need to bring."

"Ok."

Lu Wang came to fish with Liu Qingxu the next day. She heard that literati like this kind of exercise that can calm the body and mind. The carefree Lu Wang is a rare lady today. She wears a dark blue gauze skirt, her hair is loose in the back, and her temples It was tied behind her head, and there was a small copper-green pendant on the hair band. The small pendant was partially hollowed out, and there was a small copper ball inside, which jingled slightly with her movements.

Liu Qingxu was having breakfast, "Lu Wang, have you had breakfast yet?"

Lu Wang, who came only after he was full, said, "No."

"Then let's eat together? Xiao Zhu, bring the tofu curd to Ms. Lu."

After a while, Xiaozhu looked at the empty bowl that Lu Wang handed over for the third time and said angrily, "You don't really want to be friends with our lady at all, you just want to eat our bean curd!"

Lu Wang tightened his hand holding the bowl: "No, I don't!"

When going out, Liu Qingxu sat in the carriage prepared by the Liu Mansion, Lu Wang rode Xiaobai and followed beside the carriage, and a servant of the Lu family followed him on horseback with fishing gear. Lu Wang opened the curtain and said, "Qingxu , is it stuffy in there?"

"will not."

"Oh okay." Lu Wang put down the curtain.

After a while, he raised it again: "Talk, is it bumpy inside?"

"No, what do you want to say?"

Lu Wang grabbed the horse's mane and said solemnly: "Do you think my Xiaobai looks good? Do you want to pet it?"

Liu Qingxu stretched out his hand out of the window, still a short distance away from the horse's mane.Xiaobai was walking with his head on his head, but he didn't turn his back. Lu Wang smiled apologetically at Liu Qingxu, "Xiaobai is too timid to get too close to the car. Why don't you ride a horse with me?"

Xiao Zhu thought about the picture of her young lady, a demure woman riding a tall horse across the city with Lu Wang... Feeling unsightly, she quickly stopped her and said, "Miss, no."

Lu Wang looked innocent and expectant: "Are you sure you don't want to touch Xiaobai's white hair?"

When Xiaobai heard this, he looked at Liu Qingxu and blinked his big innocent eyes.

Liu Qingxu walked out immediately, "Touch."

Seeing Liu Qingxu coming out, Lu Wang took her hand and put her arms around her waist to make her sit firmly in front of him, "Come on, touch whatever you want."

Hearing this, Xiaozhu quickly opened the curtain, and saw her young lady was caressing the horse's mane seriously, with a stern sound of stinky hooligans choking in her throat, she hesitated to speak and sat back.

"Xiaobai runs fast and steady. Do you want to try to talk about it?" Lu Wang continued to bewitch, "You can't feel the feeling of galloping right away, no matter how fast a carriage runs."

Liu Qingxu thought for a while, "Okay."

Lu Wang smiled brightly: "Drive! Six follow!"

Ah Liu tightened his grip on the fishing gear in his hand, hurriedly drove his horse to follow, and solemnly expressed that he and Miss Er had really learned something this time.

Xiaozhu was in a hurry and urged the coachman to follow quickly.

When Xiao Zhu arrived, Lu Wang and the others had already set up their fishing rods for fishing. Liu Qingxu remembered that he was going to Hangzhou, and asked, "Lu Wang, how is Hangzhou?"

Lu Wang turned his head: "West Lake Vinegar Fish?"

As soon as these four words came out, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and then Liu Qingxu began to laugh, which couldn't stop laughing: "Lu Wangyou... Hahahahahahahaha, are you a greedy cat?"

Lu Wang also reacted, his face flushed for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Hangzhou, Hangzhou is very good."

Liu Qingxu was still smiling, with malicious intentions on her flushed face, she glanced at her and said, "Oh? Then how about you talk about it?"

Seeing her smile, Lu Wang also laughed, and turned his head to look at the water, "Hangzhou has a long history, many cultural relics, and rich cultural atmosphere. All industries are prosperous, and the textile, printing, wine making, and paper industries are relatively developed...Of course , and a lot of delicious food.”

Liu Qingxu nodded: "Well, it's not bad, but I can find these from books, I want to hear..."

"Huh?" Lu Wang held his breath nervously.

"Do you have any little folk tales to tell me?"

Lu Wang: "...well, there is one."

"Not far from the governor's office in Hangzhou, there is a restaurant called Songyu. The vinegar fish made in this restaurant is very delicious. It only has one floor, but it occupies a large area. The front hall is where you eat. The backyard is a guest garden, and there is a very old willow tree on the road of a guest garden, which is said to be very effective."

Liu Qingxu didn't believe it at all: "Really?"

Lu Wang nodded earnestly, "Really, this willow tree is very old. It is said that Tang Li Taibai planted it himself. Those who worshiped it became talented overnight. Pregnant women who are about to have a baby come to worship and the child is only five years old. Exported into poetry, my wish has come true."

"What is your wish?"

"I make a wish to meet someone I like this year."

"Oh~" Liu Qingxu frowned, "Li Taibai, an old man, still cares about marriage?"

Lu Wang pretended not to hear the question, and forced to continue: "...I also heard that Song Yu's current owner bought Song Yu at the beginning, and there was a reason why he loved this willow tree."

Liu Qingxu calmly said: "What you hear may not be true."

"But my news is absolutely true."

"Why are you so sure?"

Lu Wang, the boss behind Song Yu's screen, said mysteriously: "Because I tried it, the tree is very effective."

This answer made Liu Qingxu want to grill her with the fish, "Have you met someone you like? Which family is it? Tell me."

Lu Wang shook his head: "It can't be said, it can't be said, the matter has not been decided yet. Now it's just that I like her but she doesn't like me. I'll tell you later if she likes me too."

Liu Qingxu looked at her suspiciously: "What if he still doesn't like you?"

"I will go to that willow tree to make a wish this year. My wish this year is that the person I like also likes me."

Liu Qingxu smiled, "Then I'm here to wish you all your wishes come true."

Lu Wang's eyes shone like the broad river in front of him, and the sunlight shone through the branches and leaves on her forehead, reflecting in her eyes.There was undisguised joy on her face: "Thank you for your kind words."

Lu Wang looked at her: "Do you want to go to Hangzhou?"

"Follow the chief envoy and study for a while."

"Oh."

The two chatted one after another while fishing, and the time passed quickly. In the afternoon, Lu Wang ordered the fish he caught to be slaughtered now, and made a small fire for Liu Qingxu to roast the fish.

After returning, Liu Qingxu was about to prepare to go to Hangzhou, and Lu Wang hadn't seen anyone for a while.

Just the night before departure, Lu Wang came to Liu Mansion to look for her with a few bundles, "I went hunting these days, and I hunted a few foxes and rabbits, and I made you a cloak and hand warmers. The weather is no better than this, it is cold in November and February."

Liu Qingxu touched the white fur on the cloak, and when she put her hands on it, it sank and disappeared. It was very warm. The fur of this cloak was pure white, and there was no trace of impurities. "Thank you."

Lu Wang was relieved to see her accept it, and she used Xiaobai's mane to lure this man out to ride a horse that day. She knew that this man liked Baimaomao very much, and it was worthwhile for her and Wei Wei to beat the rabbit and fox for a few days.

"You..." Liu Qingxu looked up and was about to ask her something, but suddenly looked away: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Ah?" Lu Wang was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she asked this question suddenly, she felt that Liu Qingxu didn't mean to say this originally.

Liu Qingxu couldn't believe what she had just seen in her heart, so that she was a little flustered now. She had read about the unconcealable admiration in books and seen it in the eyes of many men, but this Nothing should happen here.

It should not happen between women and women.

It shouldn't have happened to Lu Wang and Liu Qingxu.

Lu Wang felt a little uneasy about her sudden appearance, "Talk, what's wrong with you?"

Telling herself that she must have read it wrong, Liu Qingxu smiled apologetically: "Suddenly I feel uncomfortable, maybe it's because I'm too tired these days, I'll just go and have a rest."

"Okay." Lu Wang said worriedly, "Then I'll take my leave first. You should have a good rest. If there's anything wrong, call the doctor in time."

"Ah."

On the way back, Liu Qingxu met Mrs. Liu, she felt a little distressed when she saw her daughter like this, "Xu'er, why are you so listless? Is it because you are too tired recently? It's all your father's fault for letting you go so far after Chinese New Year is almost here. place, if you don’t want to go, mother, go and talk to him.”

"Mother, that's not the problem. I want to go to that place in Hangzhou. I can learn something." Liu Qingxu said.

Maybe it would be better if she left for a while and they didn't meet each other.

On the day of departure, her family sent her outside the city, especially her mother, who held her hand and told her all the time, for fear that she would be wronged by living in Hangzhou.If it wasn't for the entourage in front of me to remind me, I'm afraid I could talk until night.There were many people coming in and out at the gate of the city, and there were also many people gathered inside. She looked around and didn't know what she was looking for, so she said helplessly, "Okay, mother, I will take care of myself. Missed someone's itinerary."

The Zuo chief envoy had just taken office and had a lot of problems to deal with. She methodically arranged the order passed down from the Holy Majesty, and while taking over the previous affairs, Liu Qingxu was busy with her but benefited a lot.

Almost three months passed in a flash. That evening, when Liu Qingxu and Zuo Buzheng were walking back to the mansion, the Zuo Buzheng suddenly said: "Tomorrow is Laba."

"Yeah, it's not far away from the New Year." While speaking, a white mist spread over the face, bringing a momentary warmth, but afterward, it became colder because of the moisture.

Zuo Buzheng saw that her face was flushed from the cold, her voice was trembling a little, her hands were tucked into her sleeves and she refused to come out, the cuffs were fluffy, they blocked part of the air-conditioning invasion but still not too much As a result, I felt a little pity for a while, "Talk, are you homesick?"

Liu Qingxu lowered her eyebrows: "Think."

I miss home, I also miss the city, and the person in the city.

Since she gave away the cloak that day, she has never seen Lu Wang again. Sometimes when she sends a letter home, she clearly wants to know some news about her, but she will subconsciously avoid this name, as if it is taboo. , untouchable.

But the more you want to avoid it, the more you get entangled, the less you want to think about it, the more you miss it.Up to now, she still doesn't know what kind of thoughts she has for Lu Wang.

It shouldn't be like this.

"I haven't had time to go out for the past few months. Tomorrow I'll take a shower. Why don't I go out for a walk?" The Zuo Buzheng didn't wait for her to answer, and continued: "Although the weather is cold, it's not okay to stay indoors every day." , You young people should exercise more, unlike us old people."

Liu Qingxu smiled, "Aunt Cheng, you call yourself an old man in your early [-]s. My father is almost fifty and no one is allowed to call him old."

Zuo Buzheng also smiled: "I will see the Taifu some other day, and I will tell him that you said he is old."

"Aunt Cheng, you can't do this."

The two were chatting and laughing, and they were about to arrive at the house. From a distance, they saw an imposing middle-aged man standing at the door. Seeing the figures of the two, the middle-aged man walked towards this side quickly. When he approached, Liu Talking about listening to him softly call "Ma'am."

The Zuo chief envoy glanced at him, "Why are you here? It's so cold."

"Tomorrow Laba, the children said they would come to you, but I couldn't resist, so I had to bring them here." The man looked very distressed.

The Zuo Chief Envoy did not expose him, "That's it."

The man laughed a few times, then turned to look at Liu Qingxu, "Qingxu, how do you feel these past few months? Is your aunt Cheng very scary?"

"Uncle Wu." Liu Qingxu said hello to him and stopped answering. This was obviously a fight between the couple.

The weather was too cold, and the few of them didn't have a long chat. Uncle Wu gave her the letter Taifu Liu wrote to her: "Teacher asked me to give this to you. Your letter is really thick."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

When going to bed at night, Liu Qingxu opened the thick envelope, and poured out four more envelopes, which were letters from her parents and her two brothers.

Liu Qingce's letter was rambling, writing down everything that happened every day like a running account, and it was a full eight pages.

Xiao Zhu was making her bed, "Miss, you are finally going to take a rest, where are you going to play tomorrow?"

Liu Qingxu paused, looked at the closed window and then turned back to the letter paper in her hand, "Song Yu, go and have a good meal tomorrow."

On the day of Laba, Song Yu served Laba porridge to every diner, and Liu Qingxu stopped Xiao Er who was about to leave, "Wait."

Xiao Er turned around and said with a smile: "What other orders does this girl have?"

"I heard that you, Song Yu, have a very special willow tree in your backyard, but is it true?"

Xiao Er was slightly surprised when he heard this, looked at her and said, "It's true."

"Can I go take a look?"

"Okay, girl, come with me."

Xiao Zhu wanted to follow, but Xiao Er stopped him: "Sorry, this girl can only go alone."

Just as Xiaozhu was about to refute, Liu Qingxu stopped him, and said in relief: "Xiaozhu, you can wait for me here, and nothing will happen."

Song Yu's backyard is indeed a guest garden. At first, there were many people coming and going, but the walking became quieter, and no more guests were seen. Liu Qingxu stopped: "Is this willow tree far away?"

"It's in front of our Tianzi Keyuan."

Liu Qingxu followed Xiao Er to a courtyard. The gate of this courtyard was closed tightly, and there were two seal characters "Tianzi" on the door. After Xiao Er opened the door, Xiao Er gestured "please" to her and was about to leave: " Girl, I will bring you here, you go straight along this road, go to the left road after you see the fork, and you will see a pavilion in a short while, opposite the pavilion is a willow tree."

After Liu Qingxu thanked her, she tightened her cloak, and quickly walked towards the pavilion that Xiaoer mentioned.

Both sides of the pavilion were blocked by thick curtains, and Liu Qingxu didn't realize that there were people inside until he reached the entrance of the pavilion.

The floor of the pavilion was also covered with white blankets. There was a woman sitting on the floor with her back to the entrance of the pavilion. On the small table in front of her were a small wine jar, a wine glass, and a jug of warm wine. There is a shelf full of books.The woman's black hair was scattered behind her body, and a cloak was casually draped over her body, leaning lazily on the shelf.

Hearing footsteps, the woman turned her head, and what she saw was Liu Qingxu standing in the snow.

The woman raised the wine glass in her hand and smiled at her, "What are you doing there? It's cold outside, come in quickly."

"Lu Wang." Liu Qingxu called out in a low voice.

She felt that Lu Wang was different. When she first met Lu Wang, Lu Wang seemed to be a child who didn't know much about the world. She was brave and fearless, bold and unrestrained. It was as hot as a fire without concealing it.Now she is a little less lively and a little more restrained, and there is a faint shadow of Lu Yanran.

Lu Wang patted the seat beside him for Liu Qingxu to sit down, and poured her a glass of wine: "Warm up."

Liu Qingxu took it and took a sip, and looked at the willow tree in front of him.The leaves of the willow tree in the yard have all fallen, and there are still bare branches hanging on the tree, and the snow hanging on it makes it look a bit heavy when it was already lonely.Liu Qingxu looked sideways at Lu Wang who was staring at the willow tree seriously, "This willow tree is like this, is it still effective?"

"It will work."

After saying these words, the two of them became silent, and in the end Lu Wang couldn't help it anymore. Her voice was a bit bitter: "Did you know?"

A soft voice came from over there: "Mmm."

After going back that day, Lu Wang thought about it more and more wrongly. There was a vague feeling that Liu Qingxu already knew what he was thinking. Lu Wang began to panic and even forgot to look for Wei Wei.Later Wei Wei came and saw a timid Lu Wang, beat her up and asked the truth.

On the day Liu Qingxu left, Lu Wang didn't even dare to show up and asked Wei Wei to send her off. Wei Wei hid in a corner and observed secretly, and came back and told Lu Wang: "Ah Wang, I see that Liu Qingxu turned his head three times a step, It seems that she is looking for someone, maybe she is looking for you, and I don't think she is bored with you."

"Don't comfort me, just tell me from beginning to end."

Wei Wei began to describe in detail when he came to the city gate, and then added, "Really! I think she is also interested in you."

Lu Wang still kept a reticent look, thinking: "Don't lie. She will definitely not like me. If I hear your nonsense and find out, we might not even be friends."

So he was beaten.

Wei Wei: "Every woman will have those few days. Maybe she just happened to be in a bad mood at the time. If you don't ask, you will be thinking wildly here, and you have never dared to go to her. This is a cowardly look. It's a shame for you, mother, and me."

When Lu Wang heard it, he thought it was very reasonable. He was thinking about it himself from the beginning to the end, and he never asked anyone else. Maybe Liu Qingxu really didn't know. Thinking about it, he rushed to Hangzhou immediately before the holiday to spend Laba with her. Festival.

Now being confirmed by the other party, Lu Wang can no longer make any excuses for herself. She lowered her head and tightened the edge of the cloak, and forced the corner of her mouth to show a wry smile: "I'm sorry."
