Chapter 430: We Really Agreed
After a lot of information flashed through his mind, Lu Ce said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I can't for the time being." ”
After listening to Lu Ce's words, Wen Qingzhu laughed.
In this life, they only met for the first time, and according to Lu Ce's character, not directly saying that it could not be regarded as giving her face.
"I can't tell you yet." The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face slowly faded.
Her eyes flickered under the reflection of the lights, and she looked at Lu Ce's eyes and said, "Jiang Yue wants to marry Jiang Dejia to Fu Lie, and also plans to let me pave the way for King Rui, what do you think I should do?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ce's eyes instantly froze, and the movement of holding the teacup in his hand also stopped.
The two men looked at each other silently, and a sharp cry for help came from the lake.
"Help!"
"Save ...... Help ......"
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways towards the lake and found that there were torches and figures flickering there.
After retracting her gaze, she reminded: "Master Lu, isn't this side cleared?" Since that girl can come in, her identity must not be simple, so it's better for you to go over and take a look. ”
Lu Ce stood up and bowed slightly to her apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”
Looking at the back of Lu Ce walking away quickly, the corners of Wen Qingzhu's mouth curled slightly.
In her previous life, she heard that Lu Ce had an affair on the side of Lingcheng, and it seemed that this girl who fell into the water was unintentional.
After waiting for a while, Lu Ce still didn't come.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the lanterns around him, and then looked at the other end of the suspension bridge: "Green Tao, let's go find Gongzi Qiao, it's not good to keep him waiting for a long time." ”
"Gongzi Qiao is here too?" Green Tao didn't react at once.
But Wen Qingzhu walked away, and she could only follow quickly.
Returning to the private room, Wen Qingzhu directly called the girl who was waiting outside.
"I'm looking for a son named Qiao Hu, you go and find it, say that I'm Wen Qingzhu here, and he came back."
The girl nodded, and when she was about to leave, she was stopped by Wen Qingzhu again.
"Wait! I heard that the flower carvings in the mausoleum are good, and the Ruyi building is even worse, give me a pot. ”
"Yes." The girl turned away, and when she gently closed the door, the room fell silent.
After a while, Huadiao was sent, but Qiao Hu did not arrive.
The girl who delivered the wine explained: "Qiao Gongzi is indeed in Ruyi Building, but one of him has fallen into the water, and he needs to wait a while to come over." ”
"Oh? This was a coincidence. The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face bloomed.
glanced at the flower carving on the table, touched the smooth and exquisite wine jug, and sighed: "It seems that I can't drink a pot today, I'll come back next time." ”
Following the girl's leadership, Wen Qingzhu came to a small courtyard that was isolated separately.
When they reached the door, they were stopped.
The girl said apologetically, "I have to go in first to report it, and Mr. Qiao agrees." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Ce's voice came from the small courtyard: "No need, let them in." ”
The person who stopped Wen Qingzhu withdrew his hand at this time.
Wen Qingzhu walked in slowly, and happened to see Lu Ce, who was still suave.
He stood in the courtyard, still looking the same as before leaving.
But Wen Qingzhu was too familiar with him, and Lu Ce was afraid that he was already fluctuating.
"Master Lu, what a coincidence." Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but tease him.
Lu Ce quietly changed the topic: "I didn't expect Miss Wen to know Qiao Gongzi. ”
"Actually, it's not difficult to guess, after all, the Qiao family is what it is today because of the Yang family, and Qiao Hu has been staying in the capital, I don't think it's difficult to know."
As he spoke, a girl came out of the open door.
She was wearing a goose yellow tunic sleeved spring shirt, embroidered ginkgo biloba riding skirt, stepping on a pair of snow-white auspicious cloud boots with gold trim, her black hair was raised high, and she was buttoned with a silver crown.
"Lu Ce! You give Miss Ben a stop! ”
The girl walked down in a few steps, and suddenly stopped when Lu Ce turned sideways.
She stared at Wen Qingzhu and suddenly understood something: "Today's Qiandeng Lake is for her!" ”
"Miss Zuo, she is my friend." Lu Ce's face remained unchanged, and he looked at the girl quietly.
Hearing the last two words, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
Just now, Lu Ce said that he couldn't become friends with himself, and now he ......
Wen Qingzhu slowly looked at the girl, and suddenly understood something in his heart.
She smiled slightly, and followed Lu Ce to say hello: "Miss Zuo." ”
Immediately after, Qiao Hu came over from the corridor on the left and saw Wen Qingzhu at a glance.
But he walked directly to the girl's side and touched her forehead very affectionately: "I said that I would come out after drinking ginger soup, why am I disobedient!" ”
"I don't want to drink ginger soup, unless Lu Ce is cooked by Lu Ce!" The girl looked at Lu Ce at a glance, her expression was very stubborn, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Just now by the lake, Qiao Hu saw Lu Ce for the first time, and he was vigilant in his heart.
Because of the accident in the Qiao family, he has been hiding incognito in the dark of the capital since he was a child, observing words and scheming people's hearts, not to mention peerless, but he is also very powerful.
Otherwise, Fu Lie would not have grown up safely.
At the first glance of Lu Ce, Qiao Hu felt in his heart that this man was like a black sea, vast and boundless to swallow everything.
"Master Lu, thank you for saving Bingning just now." Qiao Hu stepped forward and thanked him politely, but the uncontrollable vigilance in his heart still leaked out.
"Young Master Qiao doesn't have to be polite." Lu Ce said modestly.
It's just that Lu Ce looks like this, which makes Qiao Hu more and more disliked, he never thought that the man his cousin was thinking about was actually such a man.
Wen Qingzhu saw Qiao Hu's dislike, and was a little surprised. cruel
He and Lu Ce are the same type of people, why is Qiao Hu not hostile to himself, but so hostile to Lu Ce?
Does he like this girl on the left?
Wrong! Qiao Hu likes Jiang Dejia, Wen Qingzhu will never be mistaken!
As if sensing Wen Qingzhu's gaze, Qiao Hu looked over: "Did Miss Wen know Lu Gongzi before?" ”
"No, I'm here, today is the first time we've met." Wen Qingzhu explained.
Zuo Bingning, who was standing behind Qiao Hu, stared at Wen Qingzhu in surprise: "You actually know this woman!" ”
"What this woman!" Qiao Huxiao's heart trembled, and he immediately corrected her, "This is Miss Wen Qingzhu Wen, Fu Lie's...... Friends. ”
"Brother Fu and her are friends?" Zuo Bingning immediately touched his face and muttered in a low voice, "Do you men all look at faces?" ”
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but chuckle.
Zuo Bingning immediately frowned, revealing a look of displeasure: "What are you laughing at!" Am I not right! Men are all the same, I didn't expect Brother Fu to be like this......"
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she squinted at Lu Ce with a flat mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Now even you are like this!" Hum! ”
Wen Qingzhu suddenly found that he liked this girl very much.
No matter what emotions are expressed on her face, happy or unhappy is so simple, so that a person like her, who is up and down in the midst of intrigue and treachery, seems to see the light.
She looked sideways at Lu Ce, and his brows finally furrowed.
Although the amplitude was very shallow, Wen Qingzhu could see that Lu Ce was very special to the girl in front of him.
At least in mind.
So she explained with a smile: "Brother Fu is still the Big Brother Fu in your heart, and Lu Gongzi is still the Lu Gongzi in your heart, Miss Zuo, don't misunderstand." ”
In the previous life, when Wen Qingzhu died, Lu Ce was still alone, and she still had some regrets.
Although she and Lu Ce didn't see each other much, they had a strange tacit cooperation many times before.
It's like an old friend who has known each other for many years, and he can understand what the other party thinks without communication.
This time, she not only met Lu Ce, but also met the girl that Lu Ce once put in her heart.
Wen Qingzhu took the initiative to walk to Zuo Bingning's side, grabbed her wrist, and probed her pulse.
"What are you doing!" Zuo Bingning subconsciously wanted to make a move, but found that Wen Qingzhu's fingertips were very cold, and they still probed her wrist.
Feeling Wen Qingzhu's kindness, Zuo Bingning immediately withdrew his hand, but just pulled his hand away.
Wen Qingzhu showed a kind smile, then turned to Lu Ce and said, "There is still half an hour left today, why don't you accompany me to cook ginger soup." ”
"You!" Zuo Bingning immediately stared at her with round eyes.
Wen Qingzhu knew that Lu Ce would agree, so he directly turned his head and asked the girl next to him, asking her to take him to the kitchen.
The kitchen is exactly the direction Joe Lake came from.
When Wen Qingzhu walked to the corridor, Lu Ce followed.
When he arrived at her, Lu Ce looked at her suspiciously as he walked.
But he didn't ask anything.
When he arrived in the kitchen, Wen Qingzhu personally ordered a few herbs, and the cook quickly picked them up.
Wen Qingzhu checked the quality, and said to Lu Ce behind him: "Miss Zuo's physique is very good, but she has not had enough rest recently. ”
With the help of green pottery, Wen Qingzhu weighed the medicinal herbs, put them in a bowl, and put them directly on the desk beside him.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the kitchen and found that there was only white sugar here.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Ce speak: "Go to the steward and get a copy of the old brown sugar of the Qiao family and the red dates from the Du family's pharmacy in the south of the city." ”
Wen Qingzhu turned around slowly, and it happened that Lu Ce also looked over.
The two exchanged glances, and instantly understood what each other was thinking.
Lowering his eyebrows, Lu Ce had already taken the medicine bowl that Wen Qingzhu had placed on the desk.
"Master Lu, we really have a tacit understanding, it seems that we have known each other for a long time." Wen Qingzhu liked this feeling very much.
She only had one movement, and Lu Ce could understand what she was thinking, and then make the next move.
Lu Ce stared slightly, looking at Wen Qingzhu, and the doubts in his heart became more and more serious.
I saw Wen Qingzhu walk to a row of jars, pointed to the third clay jar and said, "But Lu Gongzi also wants to choose this as a medicine jar?" ”
Lu Ce was indeed choosing the medicine jar just now, but he didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to be the one he picked.
He walked to Wen Qingzhu's side and looked at her quietly: "Have I seen you before?" ”
"Yes."
In the previous life.
Lu Ce's eyes became more and more solemn, but out of the corner of Wen Qingzhu's eyes, he saw Qiao Hu and Zuo Bingning standing at the door of the kitchen.
Qiao Hu's face was solemn, and there was a lingering suspicion all over his body.
But Zuo Bingning was angry, and simply showed that he was angry.
Wen Qingzhu ignored Qiao Hu and smiled directly at Zuo Bingning: "Lu Gongzi is preparing to cook, and he also sent someone to buy the best brown sugar and red dates. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Bingning suddenly stopped being angry and looked at Lu Ce in confusion.
Qiao Hu understood and reminded her softly: "Your Kwai Shui is still coming in two or three days." ”
Knowing the meaning of brown sugar and red dates, Zuo Bingning was pleasantly surprised.
When I was about to walk over, I suddenly realized that this kind of thing was a private and private matter of the girl's family.
Suddenly, Zuo Bingning's face turned red, as if someone had poured red paint on his head.
"Me! I, I'm ......," Zuo Bingning began to speak incoherently.
She only felt ashamed, but she was very surprised, turned her head indiscriminately, and pulled Qiao Hu away at will.
