But it was said that Lu Qiuyue was blocked at the door of the Marquis's Mansion. When she was embarrassed, a young man suddenly came out to rescue her.
Lu Qiuyue couldn't help being surprised and happy when she saw him: "Are you Young Master Jiang?"
The young master smiled and nodded and said, "That's right."
It turned out that the young master in front of him was named Jiang Chun, and Lu Qiuyue had had a double relationship with him before.
The first time we met was on a beautiful spring day. In the wilderness on the outskirts, there are red flowers, green trees, long grass and warblers flying.
She and two girls were flying a kite, and when they were in high spirits, the string suddenly broke and the kite hung on the tree. When the three girls were at a loss, it was he who used Qinggong to fly up to the branch and take down the kite...
The second encounter was on the streets of Beijing. At that time, she came back from Xiangguo Temple to fulfill her vows. Surrounded by her bodyguards and family members, she was on her way back home in a wedding dress.
At this time, a frightened horse came running towards it with bright hooves. Sitting on it was a young man in brocade clothes. He hugged the horse's neck with both hands and yelled: "Get out of the way! Horse!" Shocked! Get out of the way!..."
The fierce horse was galloping like lightning and arrived in front of Lu Qiuyue's sedan in an instant.
The guards and servants on both sides were stunned by the sudden formation in front of them. It was too late to escape, and a tragedy was about to happen.
At the critical moment, Mr. Jiang stepped forward again, stopped the fierce horse, and rescued her...
At this time, Jiang Chun saw that the master and servant Lu Qiuyue were blocked by He Zhong and could not get off the stage, so he turned to He Luwei and said: "Steward He, these two are my friends, because they were in a hurry and were not prepared. Hello, can you come in with me?"
He Luwei smiled and said: "Why did Master Jiang say this? Since he is a friend of Master Jiang, he is naturally a distinguished guest of our Lord Marquis's residence. Hurry up and invite him inside!"
This time, it was Young Master Jiang who came to rescue Lu Qiuyue when she was in a difficult situation. Lu Qiuyue couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude and goodwill towards Jiang Chun from the bottom of her heart.
As soon as Jiang Chun entered the hall, he was spotted by Xiao Yongnian, the second brother who was looking for him. He came over and grabbed him and said, "Third brother, where were you just now? Make it easier for us to find him." Your Excellency was angry just now, please go and apologize to Master Ding!"
Jiang Chun had no choice but to walk over and apologize to Ding Jinzhi.
Ding Jinzhi said coldly: "That's all!"
Jiang Chun apologized to his eldest brother Luo Zhenyi again. Then he turned to Lu Qiuyue in the name of pouring wine.
Lu Qiuyue raised her head, glanced at him coldly and said, "After a long time of fussing, it turns out you are from Ding's house! Oh my, I'm really blind!"
Seeing that Lu Qiuyue was unhappy, Jiang Chun couldn't help feeling sad. He wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to speak. He just said quietly: "Miss Lu..."
Lu Qiuyue rolled her eyes at him, turned away, and ignored him.
The banquet in He Mansion had already begun. Princess Changqing entertained the female family members of the government in the back hall; He Yuting was in charge of the overall situation in the front hall; his two sons, He Chenglin and He Chengqi, were also busy helping their father greet the guests and friends coming and going.
Of course, at this banquet, the eldest son He Chenglin is the absolute protagonist. Under the guidance of his father, he met and toasted with all the civil and military officials, relatives and friends of the DPRK and China. He was chatting with them with a cheerful face, his manners and speech were generous, and his actions and etiquette were thoughtful and appropriate.
When these procedures were over, He Yuting pulled Ding Jinzhi in front of him again and said with a smile on his face: "In-laws, is our agreement twenty years ago still counted?"
He Yuting's words made Ding Jinzhi couldn't help but remember that twenty years ago on his daughter's first birthday, He Chenglin, the eldest son of He Mansion, and his daughter Ding Mengxuan had arranged a baby marriage. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a number, of course it's a number! Now, Hou The father and son are reunited, the family is reunited, and they enjoy their family relationship; the marriage between Mr. He and his daughter must of course be fulfilled! Isn't this a double happiness? "
He Yuting said: "Okay, it's a deal! How about asking the housekeeper to check for auspicious days and exchange Geng Tie some other time? - Lin'er, why don't you meet Mr. Taishan yet!"
He Chenglin came over, bowed his head to Ding Jinzhi and said, "My father-in-law, please accept my respects from my son-in-law!"
Ding Jinzhi smiled broadly and hurriedly helped him.
The whole hall was filled with congratulations, congratulations to the Marquis and his son for their reunion, dragon and phoenix, and double happiness.
He Yuting was beaming with joy. All the guests and friends also drank happily, and the sounds of fist pumps and orders were heard all the time.
Although Lu Qiuyue was not happy that Jiang Chun had concealed her identity as a member of the Ding family from her, she was a girl after all, and her playful nature took over, and she quickly forgot about the pleasure she had just had.
With Jiang Chun's help, she and Caiming found a remote corner away from Lu Wenzheng and sat down.
In order not to attract other people's attention, Lu Qiuyue did not dare to make too much noise. Despite this, Lu Qiuyue was also enjoying it with great interest.
Little did she know that she only wanted to be happy for herself, but that made her mother, Mrs. Lu, Yan Shi, anxious.
Mrs. Lu was extremely lonely in her room, so she wanted to find her daughter to relieve her boredom.
When she asked the girl Xiuming to call Lu Qiuyue over, Xiuming hesitated for a long time and was forced to say hesitantly: "Miss and Caiming went out to play."
Mrs. Lu was furious: "Little slave, why didn't you come back earlier?"
Xiu Ming was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground: "The lady said she would be back in a moment, so I asked the slave not to disturb you..."
"That's unreasonable!" Mrs. Lu knew that it was useless to be angry at this time, so she asked, "Where did the young lady go?"
Xiu Ming trembled and said: "Master Hou's Mansion."
Only then did Mrs. Lu understand her daughter's intention. She was angry and anxious and shouted: "Someone is here, someone is here!"
Mrs. Lu's eldest girl Lanzhu said: "Madam, who are you looking for?"
Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment and said: "This...are Dong Wu and Yuan Ping in the house?"
Lanzhu said: "They followed the master to the Marquis's Mansion."
Mrs. Lu said: "Where is Yang Zhen?"
Lanzhu said: "I heard from Rong'er that there was a case in the west of the city today, and he went to handle the case early in the morning."
"What about Mr. Xu?"
"He went with Yang Zhen!"
Mrs. Lu was a little angry. She was a female prostitute, and she did not participate in the political affairs of the Ministry of Justice's Shangshu Mansion, so most of the guards in the mansion could not name her. She had no choice but to ask: "Then... who else is in the house?"
Lanzhu thought for a while and said, "Oh, it seems that Commander Ling is still in the mansion."
Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, invite Commander Ling over immediately!"
Ling Yun really didn't want to go to the Marquis's Mansion to see Lu Wenzheng. He was still angry with him about asking for leave; and a few days ago, he and Lu Qiuyue had a very unpleasant argument about going to the Marquis' Mansion. Now he really doesn't want to go to the Marquis' Mansion again. Go mess with her.
It's just that Mrs. Lu gave the order and she said it sincerely, so he really couldn't shirk it.
This is the first time for Ling Yun to come to the Marquis' Mansion.
He joined the officialdom at the age of eighteen and has been working on cases with Mr. Lu for five years in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. During this period, he had to deal with He Yuting, Ding Jinzhi and others, but most of them were in the court; There is very little time.
When he arrived at the door of the house, he handed a greeting card to the housekeeper He Luwei.
He Luwei took the greeting card and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that Commander Ling is here. It's really disappointing to welcome him from afar! Go inside and invite me! My brother has been here for a long time. I must be waiting for you inside now." .”
Ling Yun was startled: "Brother?..."
He Luwei said: "Yes, he said his name is Ling Feng - what, Commander Ling, is there something wrong?"
Ling Yun's mind changed and he immediately understood something. He thought to himself: This Miss Lu is really capable. She actually shows off everywhere in my name... She couldn't help but feel angry and laughing in her heart.
Here he smiled at He Luwei and said: "Nothing - by the way, please help me check which seat Mr. Lu is sitting on. Ling Yun has something to report to him."
He Luwei quickly asked someone to check and told Ling Yun; Ling Yun thanked him and walked quickly towards the reception hall.
The Marquis's Mansion was renovated and expanded from the original Prince Consort's Mansion. It is indeed magnificent and magnificent.
Along the way, Ling Yun saw pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, all in an orderly manner. There was a hint of warmth and familiarity in the beauty and beauty.
Ling Yun suddenly trembled in his heart and stopped. Looking at the beautiful scenery here, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He seemed to feel that the houses, courtyards, plants and trees here were all so familiar, as if he had seen them before somewhere.
Where have you seen it? He frowned, searching hard for that fleeting inspiration from every corner of his brain.
In a dream! Suddenly his eyes lit up, yes, he had been here in his dream!
For some reason, he had had the same dream more than once.
In his dreams, he often comes to a place where the pavilions, pavilions, houses and courtyards are all vivid and clearly countable. They seem to be similar to the scene here, but they are also very similar...
It can be said that the scene in his dream finally found its prototype here, but why? …
Ling Yun just stood there and thought hard, forgetting the purpose of his trip. He didn't come back from his thoughts until someone called him.
The person who called him was Yuan Ping, the captain of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. Today Yuan Ping and Dong Wu accompanied Mr. Lu to a banquet. During the dinner, Yuan Ping came out for something and happened to meet Ling Yun who was in a daze here.
Ling Yun calmed down and smiled awkwardly at him.
Yuan Ping said: "Brother Ling, if you are not guarding the house today, what are you doing here?"
After Yuan Ping reminded him, Ling Yun remembered the purpose of coming here today, slapped his head and shouted "Oops", and hurried towards the reception hall.
Yuan Ping was left standing there confused.
But when Ling Yun entered the reception hall, he saw a sea of people in the hall. The guests exchanged cups and drank wine, and it was very lively.
He came to Lu Wenzheng's table according to the seat provided by He Lu.
At this time, Lu Wenzheng was having a drink with the courtiers. Ling Yun had already arrived. Lu Wenzheng pretended not to see him and was still exchanging cups with others.
Ling Yun had no choice but to shout: "Sir."
Lu Wenzheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh?... Commander Ling, are you calling me? I thought the sun was coming out in the west. Didn't you swear not to pay attention to me anymore?"
Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh angrily. He took a step forward and whispered in Lu Wenzheng's ear: "Sir, Miss Lu sneaked out of the house. According to the girl, she came to the Marquis's house. Have you seen her?"
"What?" Now it was too late for Lu Wenzheng to stop joking: "This girl is so outrageous! It's so unreasonable! It's so unreasonable! It's so rude!"
Ling Yun quickly comforted him and said, "Sir, don't worry, let me come find you."
After speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced around, and saw He Zhong, He Yuting's personal attendant, busy greeting guests and friends. He walked directly in front of him, raised his hands and saluted: "This brother, I am polite to Ling Yun."
Before He Zhong could reply, a young master next to him came over, cupped his hands and said: "Oh, it turns out that you are the famous Commander Ling! I heard that you have world-class martial arts skills and are known as the 'No. 1 Sword in the World'. I am polite to you, Ding Jiying." "
Ling Yun had something on his mind and had no intention of chatting with him. He just responded perfunctorily: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Ding."
Ding Jiying was very enthusiastic: "Commander Ling, I have admired you for a long time. It is such a blessing to meet you today! I have loved practicing martial arts since I was a child. Can Commander Ling..."
Ling Yun said: "We'll talk about martial arts training later. I'm here to find someone now."
As he said this, he turned around and said to He Zhong: "Brother, I would like to take the liberty of asking for a visit."
He Zhong said: "Commander Ling, I would have guessed even if you didn't tell me. Are you here to see your younger brother Ling Feng?"
Ling Yun was startled, but he immediately reacted, smiled slightly and said: "That's right, where is he now?"
He Zhong said: "I was just at the banquet against the south wall."
Ling Yun looked back, but the table was already empty.
Ling Yun shouted: "Oops." He turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Ding Jiying saw that Ling Yun's movements were as fast as lightning, and his posture was so free and elegant, he couldn't help but cheered: "What a fast movement, what a beautiful posture! If I had such skills, I would have no regrets in my life!"
At this time, He Chengqi came up and said, "Brother Ding, what are you mumbling about?"
Ding and He have been friends for generations, and the two young masters also have a deep friendship.
At that moment, Ding Jiying pulled He Chengqi: "Don't ask questions yet, come with me! There's another good show to watch."
Ding Jiying is usually bored in his house and is particularly interested in such exciting and mysterious things.
Lu Qiuyue really avoided Ling Yun's pursuit on purpose.
When she saw Ling Yun entering the hall just now, she knew something was not right, and whispered to Jiang Chun: "Brother Jiang, something is not going well. Ling Yun is here and wants to take me back! ---- Let's get away quickly!"
Jiang Chun couldn't help Lu Qiuyue's pleading and hurriedly dragged her out of the door.
Caiming was originally following behind like a little tail, but later she was panting and only holding them back.
Lu Qiuyue was anxious: "Cai Ming, are you trying to get us in together? Aren't you going to stay and break up the marriage?"
Caiming said in astonishment: "What, I... break the queen?"
Lu Qiuyue said: "That's right! When Ling Yun catches up later, you have to stand up, be resourceful and brave, and do everything possible to entangle him. Of course, you can't betray us! No matter what he does to you, you have to stick to your faith. , Keep your mouth shut, understand?”
"Yeah, I understand!..." Caiming agreed and said to himself: "Oh my God, who is Commander Ling? Is it worth guarding against him like this?"
Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue ran for a while, but Jiang Chun stopped first and said, "Miss Lu, what are we doing? We are acting like thieves. Don't run away!"
Lu Qiuyue said: "Can you not run away? If Ling Yun comes..."
Jiang Chun said: "What's wrong with Ling Yun? Is it that scary?"
Lu Qiuyue said: "Not scary? Can you beat him?"
Jiang Chun said: "I just wanted to challenge him!..."
Jiang Chun wanted to continue talking, but he felt Lu Qiuyue pulling him hard. He looked back and saw that Ling Yun was standing behind him at some point.
