Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 240 Take You to Pilgrimage (Part [-])

No one knew better than Lu Jiangjiang that once he entered the camp of the Eastern Palace, the Eastern Palace would not be satisfied if the Lu family did not peel off a few layers of skin from his body.After all, the Bai family is gentler, and the situation of the Lu family will be better.

The vague unwillingness in his heart is also the reason why Lu Jiangjiang has been tossing and turning these days until he can't sleep at night.No one knows what the answer to this question means to him.

In the somewhat disturbing silence, Bai Xing's straightforward to cruel negation, "You can't do it."

After finishing speaking, he probably realized that he was hurting others too much, Bai Xing explained again, "I'm not saying that you are not worthy of Ji Wuyan, although there are well-known family members who talk to each other about getting married, but the most important thing is to be happy with each other. It's just... I think you've heard some... Hey, I can't tell you that much now, but anyway, don't bother with Ji Wuyan."

No matter how much explanation is given, after the first sentence "You can't do it", it will sound redundant and ironic like trying to cover up.

There was a gust of warm wind.

Perhaps in the decades after that, no one would know that it was on such an ordinary afternoon that Lu Jiangjiang finally dissipated the last hope in his life.

But at this moment, he just smiled indifferently, nodded and said yes, "I've heard about it...that's right, the things he likes by Ning Xiuyuan naturally don't have anyone else's share."

Bai Xing probably felt that this sounded a bit strange, frowned, and after a long while, said in a calm manner, "He is different from us."

Lu Jiangjiang twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Yes, it's different."

Bai Xing always felt that Lu Jiangjiang was a little weird today, and his smile at the moment was also weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with these conversations, so he just thought that Lu Jiangjiang was not in a good mood, so he just nodded and said, "OK. I'll go tomorrow Go to Ji's house and ask Shen Luoxin. It's just that whether she comes or not depends on herself... When will I go to climb the mountain, have you decided?"

Holding the teacup, Lu Jiangjiang lowered his head and took a sip. He lowered his head and covered half of his face with the teacup, "Then the day after tomorrow. The weather looks pretty good these days."

Just after a downpour, the water level of the pool in the courtyard rose quite a bit. At this moment, the breeze was blowing, but there was no sunlight, and the sky was covered with overcast clouds. It really didn't look like "the weather was fine".

Bai Xing nodded his head and said hello.

I sat for a while, and basically talked about some recent interesting things about Bai Xing.

Mostly Bai Xing was talking and Lu Jiangjiang was listening, but the listeners were a little absent-minded or not interested.He knew most of the things that he used to do in vain, and he could find his shadow in those things.

But listening to it now, I always feel that these things are so far away from me, experience in the military?Not everyone can go, at least, no children of the Lu family have such a right.What about the Ji family?So far, he has never seen what Ji Wuyan looks like, but only remembers those eyes, which are so beautiful.

Lu Jiangjiang really thought about marrying Ji Wuyan.

The reasons he gave for Shen Luoxin today are all true, and they are also suitable for Ji Wuyan.It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I thought about it, I was poured with a pot of cold water to cool my heart.It also let him know the fact that although they were once called the Four Great Aristocratic Families, the Lu family is probably nothing in front of the Bai family.

After sitting for a while, Lu Jiangjiang excused that he had something to do, got up and left.

It's embarrassing to pick up those strange things, even strange relationships.

Bai Xing got up to see him off, and when he was about to leave, Bai Xing suddenly called out, "Lu Jiangjiang!"

The other party half turned around to look at him and asked silently.Bai Xing choked, and then asked, "Is it the day after tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"That's fine." He waved his hand, "You have something to do, go back!"

The other party nodded, turned and left in silence.

Bai Xing looked at the way Lu Jiangjiang walked away step by step with his hands down. That once suave man, for some reason, even though he was still wearing the most popular style nowadays, his back was not tall and straight - there was an inexplicable fatigue, like It's the arrogance scattered all over.

Lu Jiangjiang, the former bully, didn't like being called "Lu Jiangjiang" the most, but just now Bai Xing deliberately called "Lu Jiangjiang" a few times, and the other party just responded silently.The man who was still a teenager is different after all.

Bai Xing sighed, turned around and walked inside.

……

Not long after Ji Wuyan came back from the yamen, Mrs. Ning came.

This is the first time Mrs. Ning has come to Ji's house, and also the first time to this house.She dragged Ji Wuyan who came to greet her, and looked around with great interest, nodding her head frequently, saying that the house is well-built, it not only has the gracefulness of the water pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the majesty of the northern buildings.

Ji Wuyan only presumes that it was built by the ancient house, but he can't handle many things by himself.

Mrs. Ning remembered that this house still took money, she shook her head helplessly, "That kid... Since he is a good friend, how can he ask you to take money? You are so ignorant!"

"It doesn't matter. At that time...it wasn't considered a good friend." Ji Wuyan smiled with a low brow. What he didn't say was that they weren't even considered friends at that time. .

The old madam didn't understand her subtext, she quietly looked at the girl's face beyond the veil with some curiosity, and said with a bit of teasing, "Then... can it be forgotten now?"

Ya uncalculated.

In front of the old lady, Ji Wuyan felt that Ning Xiuyuan should save some face, after careful consideration, she finally nodded.

The old lady pursed her lips and smiled. This girl has very good eyebrows and eyes, her eyes are really beautiful, and her skin is also very good. I can't find any blemishes when I look at it so closely. There is also a bridge of nose... Such a lovely little girl, in the future What a lovely baby!
The old lady was bubbling in her heart, and pulled Ji Wuyan to suggest, "Girl. Recently, I always feel that my heart is in a panic, and sometimes my heart trembles. I want to go to the temple in the south of the city to offer incense. Come with me." go."

Some surprises, but Ji Wuyan did not refuse, "Okay. When will the old lady get up?"

"The day after tomorrow. How about it? Wear light clothes. The temple is on the middle of a low mountain, and it will take a while to walk." The old lady told her.

Ji Wuyan nodded and said good, and then told Ziqiu, "Go and ask Mr. Chen for some warming and nourishing things to help you sleep. Stress in your heart can easily affect your sleep. Madam Ning will take it back later and try... Although the doctor in the family is not a magic doctor who hides from the world, he is still useful."

Mrs. Ning also knew Ji Wuyan a little bit, knowing that she likes to talk about everything in a self-deprecating manner. Since she said so, this doctor must have excellent medical skills, so she nodded and said hello, "Then I won't be polite to you. ha!"
