Chapter 124 Unexpected
"What did you bring? I saw you were busy getting ready to leave early in the morning."

Holding a delicate bamboo basket in his hand, Lu Weimang met Huo Jing at the gate of the mansion.

Huo Jing put Lu Weimang on the ground with one hand, naturally helped her into the carriage, and asked doubtfully.

In fact, Lu Weimang started to prepare in advance with the people in the mansion since last night, and he was busy again early this morning. When he set off at the scheduled time, Lu Weimang asked himself to prepare the carriage first, and she came later, unexpectedly leaving in a hurry When she came, she had a small bamboo basket in her hand.

The two sat down in the carriage, Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang, Lu Weimang picked up the bamboo basket as if offering a treasure, and put it on the low table between the two, "How can we not prepare some food for the outing? Here It's a pastry I specially prepared. Look, does it look good?"

Lu Weimang opened the lid of the bamboo basket, and Huo Jing looked at it face-to-face, "Well, yes, I can see that it is in the shape of a flower."

Huo Jing teased Lu Weimang and didn't take it seriously, "Although the cakes I made with my own hands are not as lifelike as the chef in Fuzhong, if you want peach blossoms or plum blossoms, the taste is absolutely the same. You smell it, just now When it came out of the oven, the dry aroma, I almost couldn't resist eating a piece, and it took a lot of effort to endure it."

Huo Jing moved his eyes from the "flower"-shaped pastry to Lu Weimang's excited face, and tucked the strand of hair on her forehead behind her ears, which naturally made Lu Weimang stunned for a moment, as if they were so After many rehearsals, Lu Weimang resisted not avoiding his eyes, and continued to introduce his pastries, but his ears quietly turned red.

Huo Jing looked at the little girl in front of him, feeling a little lost. He often felt that they used to get along very well, plain but touching.But occasionally I feel that I am not intimate enough, I want to put the person in front of me in my arms, close to my heart, but I am afraid that Lu Weimang will resist, even this plain warmth is gone, and the relationship between the two becomes awkward.

Who would have thought that Huo Hou, who was so seasoned and easy to grasp, would be so hesitant?
At this time, he was a little envious of some people, as if he was born with the ability to control people's hearts, so he didn't have to feel anxious and overwhelmed.

What Huo Jing doesn't know is that although Lu Weimang is very jerky in dealing with relationships, he is very keen. If she is made aware of some attempts to manipulate people's hearts by means, Lu Weimang will stay away from such people as soon as possible.She has always believed that the ideal relationship between people, whether it is friends or lovers, is the ideal relationship in her heart only if the aura is compatible and there is no trickery.

"Huh? What are you thinking?"

Huo Jing came back to his senses, only to see the little girl in front of him shaking a piece of pastry in front of his eyes, "Try it, I promise it's delicious."

Hearing what Lu Weimang said, Huo Jing looked at the dangling little hand in front of him, grabbed the wrist of the little hand in front of him with his hand, passed it forward, and put it in his mouth.

Lu Weimang was a little surprised, but also a little bit at a loss, the idea of ​​getting along with Huo Jing naturally was shattered, Lu Weimang's eyes could no longer look directly at the other person's eyes, and he dodged his eyes, letting go of the pastry in his hand.

Huo Jing supported the pastry with his hands, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and nodded, "The pastry is very soft, and the dried fruit on the dough is very fragrant and delicious."

Lu Weimang pretended to be natural and took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's good that it's delicious. I wanted to make this effect before I made it. It seems that I didn't fail this time."

Lu Weimang's subconscious words made Huo Jing chuckle.Lu Weimang likes handwork, whether it is making kite lanterns, embroidered purses, or cooking and pastries, Lu Weimang will start to do it with great interest when he is interested.

But she is not good at craftsmanship, and she has too many ideas in her head, and she refuses to do it honestly.For example, when she first came to make pastries, she always felt that they were too sweet, too greasy, too common, and wanted to make salty ones, but when they were made, the whole Lu family only tasted one bite, and the rest was to give Lu Weimang face swallowed.Later, Lu Weimang held up his face and didn't throw away that pot of pastries. After half a month, he finally finished eating it.

Lu Weimang is very restrained in his daily life from bothering others, and the only few times when he is on the top, he makes the finished product excitedly and asks others to appreciate it.

Lin Chen, Ding Yi, and even Xiao Qiu all know about Lu Weimang's hobby, and they are very face-saving when appreciating them, but they still hide when they can.

However, Huo Jing loved Lu Weimang very much at that time. The interest in her heart broke through the constraints she had set on people and things, and she only looked at you eagerly, looking forward to your evaluation and approval.

The pastry is the same this time, it was Lu Weimang's experiment, but it was surprisingly successful.

Huo Jing's chuckle made Lu Weimang curious. "What are you laughing at? Isn't it delicious?"

She is occasionally not confident about herself when she gets along with others, but she is very confident in her own works. This time it is obviously very successful!

Huo Jing was defeated by Lu Weimang's ferocious questioning, he couldn't help but his smile became bigger, and his laughter became more hearty, even spreading outside the carriage.

Lin Chen and Ding Yi outside the carriage looked at each other and couldn't help grinning.The young master is happy, although they don't know why, they are also happy.

Lu Weimang was puzzled by the laughter, and frowned, "Didn't you say it's delicious...to eat?"

Before Lu Weimang could finish his questioning, Huo Jing suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him over. With force on his wrist, Lu Weimang turned half a circle and fell into Huo Jing's arms.

Lu Weimang struggled subconsciously, but Huo Jing wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, "Let me hug you."

Lu Weimang was a little at a loss.

She can act swiftly and resolutely when she does things, but she really doesn't know how to control this kind of proportion when getting along with her.She doesn't dislike Huo Jing's embrace. This warm and dry feeling makes her feel warm and comfortable on a cold autumn morning, but she can't grasp the measure, "If I relax my whole body and lean against Huo Jing Jing's chest, will he feel the pressure?" Lu Weimang stiffened his arms, not daring to move rashly.

The two of them were like this, one surrounded the girl he loved, enjoying the intimacy, while the other was fidgeting, wondering if he should put all his strength down, and then secretly control it.But when leaning on others, it is really difficult to support your body, Lu Weimang has no strength to support himself after a while, and unconsciously leans his whole body in the arms behind him.

Surprisingly comfortable.Lu Weimang squinted his eyes and thought, as if he was snuggling into the sun-dried cotton quilt, making people want to fall asleep comfortably.

"We have arrived."

"Huh? Oh, I see."

Lu Weimang hurriedly supported the carriage to get up, but fortunately, the carriage was tall, so Lu Weimang didn't stand up all of a sudden and hit his head.

Lu Weimang jumped out of the carriage in a panic, and the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Lu Weimang looked up at the mountain, as if there was something particularly beautiful about this mountain.

Huo Jing followed Lu Weimang and jumped out of the carriage. Knowing that she was thin-skinned, he didn't tease her. He just held her hand beside her and walked up the steps of the path in the mountain.

"This Nanshan is not very impressive in Yangzhou City. I only heard that there is a valley where the red leaves are red very early, so I chose this place to bring you here."

Huo Jing's cold voice came slowly, calming Lu Weimang's panic.

"Ah."

She promised to show that she was listening.

Sometimes she would spurn herself, and she would be so drastic when doing things, and she would be so shy and unashamed when she was a human being?Can't you get along with others generously?What are you trying to do?
While Lu Weimang spurned himself, he also knew that in his 30 years of previous life, he had no confidence in his relationship, and he would not become mature and generous overnight.

She will make herself calmer a little bit, only Huo Jing has to work hard, he has to face such an awkward self.

The two slowly climbed up the mountain, and the atmosphere became more natural.

"I didn't expect this Nanshan path to be paved so delicately. In the past, there was no such gentle slope in the nearby places."

Lu Weimang sighed.

It is really heavy work on this step.Anyone who has climbed the mountain knows that the steeper the steps, the more difficult it is to climb up, but the steps of this Nanshan Mountain are according to the undulating arc of the mountain, winding and winding like the winding roads of the previous life, very gentle.

"I don't know who it is that paved the steps up and down the mountain with such heavy work and materials."

Lu Weimang was puzzled, and Huo Jing also felt strange when he heard it, "Go back and ask Ding Yi to check, Yangzhou is prosperous, maybe some wealthy businessman likes the scenery of Nanshan, and built it specially?"

"Maybe, it's impossible to say."

The two of them slowly climbed up the gentle steps, watching the red leaves on the side of the road while walking.

The red leaves here are just red, which has a special flavor.Before they knew it, the two of them almost climbed to the top of the mountain.

"There is a bright spring nearby. Ding Yi took Lin Chen to fetch water and stayed at the top of the mountain. We can make tea and pair it with your pastries. It will be quite special."

"I said I didn't see Xiao Qiu, they should have gone together."

Several people seemed to intend to avoid suspicion when they were alone, and of course Lu Weimang knew the intention.

"There seems to be a small temple there. Work harder and climb up in one go. We will rest in the temple."

"Ah."

The two of them came up to the top of the mountain, and there was indeed a small temple. Huo Jing went to knock on the door, but a monk and nun came out.

Seeing that the nun was surprised, Huo Jing took a step back, and Lu Weimang stepped forward, "Master, don't be surprised, we are climbing a mountain to enjoy the scenery, and we passed by by chance."

The nun took a deep breath and calmed down, "We don't often have strangers coming to this nunnery, so just now, the poor nun was a little out of character, please forgive me. If you don't mind the two benefactors, you might as well come in and have a cup of tea. It can be regarded as the poor nun's apology to the two benefactors."

Lu Weimang and Huo Jing looked at each other, "Master, you don't have to be too polite, then we won't bother you."

The master stepped aside, and Lu Weimang and Huo Jing stepped into the nunnery.

"The living room is here, please follow me."

The two followed the master's guidance and walked in, looking around while walking.

Although the nunnery looks deserted, the layout of the courtyard is exquisite.

"The land in the south of the Yangtze River is really elegant everywhere, even this small desolate nunnery is so delicately built?"

Lu Weimang was half emotional, half suspicious.

Lu Weimang and Huo Jing are admiring the small courtyard on the top of the mountain here, while there are two people with fire-breathing eyes peeping in the dark.

"Is it her?"

One of the women in a gray nunnery robe asked.

"It's her, even when it's burned to ashes, I can recognize her."

Lu Weimang didn't know that at the flower banquet that night, although everyone was detained by the government, some servants slipped through the net.

Those servants were not ordinary maidservants, but bought by the old bustard. They were "skinny horses" who were under age. They were arranged to serve those women who could leave the court. After Jingmeng Garden was investigated, they had nowhere to stay and could only Temporarily came to the nunnery outside the old bustard city.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the old bustard has been operating in Yangzhou City for many years, and there is still some way out.
