Chapter 279: Important Matters (1)
As he said that, seeing Lu Mingxuan's disapproving expression, he simply went to choose a magenta phoenix-tailed gown with her, and after she put it on, he picked out two hairpins and two pearl flowers to wear with her. After a lot of celebration, I took her to Rongtaiju together.

The two sisters just went to Rongtaiju, and other people arrived one after another. Even Princess Fuhui, who had been "sick" for nearly a year and had never shown up before Lu Mingfeng came out of the pavilion, also came. Everyone was busy saluting and saying hello, no one would show it even if they were unhappy during the New Year's Eve, they all looked like they were talking and laughing, and the room was very lively for a while.

After everyone arrived, Zhao Yanjie and Ling Mengqi came one after the other.

Wearing a gray brocade robe, Zhao Yanjie looked much calmer. He even lowered his voice when greeting everyone. When it was his turn to say hello to the sisters, he did not look at Lu Mingxuan with warm eyes hidden in warmth as usual. , didn't even look at Lu Mingxuan, greeted with eyes, and after greeting all the sisters, sat back in his seat.

This subtle difference was not noticed by other people who didn't know his relationship with Lu Mingxuan, even Lu Mingfu who knew that the two would be engaged soon didn't notice it at all. She nudged Lu Mingxuan with her elbow and whispered to Lu Mingxuan : "Unexpectedly, Cousin Zhao is quite official when he is calm. I heard that people with such looks are the most dominant in the palace examination. You just wait a few months to become an official wife!"

However, Lu Mingxuan noticed that Zhao Yanjie was alienating her, and was wondering what was wrong with him, when she heard Lu Mingfu's words, and saw Lu Mingfu's playful face, she couldn't think about anything else for a moment, but just changed With a playful look on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard? Who did you hear about? Mother Duan? Luomei Luoxia? Or... my good brother-in-law? I don't know why you two met before, and you're not happy." Come from the truth!"

Only then did Lu Mingfu realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, and a suspicious blush immediately appeared on her face, but she still insisted: "What kind of brother-in-law? What's the matter with Brother Yan? Aren't we talking about Cousin Zhao? Why are you talking about Big Brother Yan again, don't change the subject."

But Lu Mingxuan still laughed wickedly, "If you don't tell me, I'll tell daddy after I go home tomorrow, and let daddy ask you personally, or else, let daddy ask brother-in-law directly?"

Lu Mingfu was very angry when she heard the words, but she was also afraid that Lu Zhongxian would find out that she and Yan Shijiulang had a private relationship and would cause trouble for Yan Shijiulang. On the second day of the Lunar New Year last year, when Lu Zhongxian poured Yan Shijiulang wine She still remembers the attitude, the private communication between Lu Mingxuan and Zhao Yanjie was at least in front of Mrs. Lu, so she had to pinch Lu Mingxuan and said bitterly: "You better not run into my hands in the future ...I haven't met each other. How can I see you who don't go out of the gate all day long? I just write letters occasionally. If you dare to tell daddy when you go back tomorrow, let's see how I deal with you. !"

Lu Mingxuan wanted to know that the two of them communicated at most, and this must have been known and acquiesced by the elders, otherwise it would have been a big problem for Yan Jiulang's letter to break through the encirclement and reach Lu Mingfu smoothly.

She was about to say with a smirk: "If you want me not to tell daddy, it's okay, then show me the letter my brother-in-law wrote to you, or if you clean me up, I'll tell daddy too."

All of a sudden, I saw Ling Mengqi striding in from outside, with clear eyes like water, pupils as black as ink, high straight nose bridge, thin lips with sharp edges and corners, and chin line as smooth as running water... Lu Mingxuan's heartbeat instantly leaked Pai, the tension that had been dispatched by intentional gags with Lu Mingfu filled her whole body and mind in an instant, she was so nervous that her whole body was stiff, and she almost didn't know how to let go of her hands and feet.

But when he was nervous, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he saw with his own eyes that Ling Mengqi was safe and sound. Although he looked a little thinner and his face was a little grim, he finally came back safe and sound, right? ?
Ling Mengqi was already saluting the old man and Mrs. Lu, his voice was deep and mellow, and he was no longer the green and clean of the past. Unknowingly, he had grown up from the youthful youth of the past. For a real man.

The old man couldn't help stroking his beard and said with a smile: "You have been away for a whole year, and no news has come back. It is really worrying, but a good man should aim everywhere. It is a good thing for you to make progress with one heart. No matter where you go in the future, you must send someone a message from time to time to report that you are safe."

"It's all my fault, and it will definitely not happen again in the future." Ling Mengqi replied in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Wenzhu rushed forward, put his toes on his neck with one hand, and said loudly: "Brother Ling, you are really unsatisfactory. I haven't heard from you before, so I'm just worrying in vain. Yesterday My son finally came back, and he didn't even say to look for me. By the time I knew you were back, you had already gone to the Jinyi Guard. If I hadn't thought that you just came back, you must have business to do. You're going to have a family dinner today. I must come, I will go to your guard to find you!"

Hanging by his neck, Ling Mengqi couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said with a slight curl of his lips, "I also thought that I could see you today, and I didn't go to see you yesterday."

Lu Zhongmian smiled and said: "I met your Commander Cao this morning, and I heard from him that you have made great achievements this time, and I am afraid that you will be promoted again soon, and you keep praising you for your ability. Say 'heroes make boys'!"

Ling Mengqi smiled modestly and said: "Lord Cao is absurdly praised, but I was lucky enough to successfully complete this task. I can't deserve him, and I can't be praised by you like the Duke of the country. As for the promotion I haven't received the news yet, so I have to see what the adults above mean."

In fact, he has already received the news that he will be promoted to two ranks in a row this time, and will be promoted to one of the [-] regular five-rank thousand households under the Zhenfu Division, but the transfer order has not yet been issued, so he temporarily I don't intend to make this news public.

Ling Mengqi exchanged a few words with the elders, and then greeted the peers again. When it was Lu Mingxuan's turn, although he appeared to be the same as when he greeted other girls just now, but only he himself I know what kind of turbulent waves have already been set off in his heart.

I haven't seen her for nearly a year, but Lu Mingxuan's eyebrows and eyes have not changed much except that they have grown a little more, just like the one engraved in his heart, it is still so elegant and exquisite - the thought in Ling Mengqi's heart is getting stronger No, no, he still can't give up on her. He couldn't do it when he didn't see her in the past year, and now he can't do it after seeing her!
He almost exhausted all his self-control to keep his voice from fluctuating: "Long time no see, Miss Xuan, is everything okay?"
