Shuangjiao

Princess Lekang knew very well about her elder brother sitting on the throne.

He was timid and timid when he was young, and later married Empress Wei, who was strong, and even though he sat on the throne, he didn't change his timid character.

She only showed Wulang's letter to her husband, and it had not been circulated among Wen's family.

It's just that Wen Guanghe is always Linzhou State Shepherd, and sooner or later he will know about it, and will make corresponding plans for it. This year, he specially sent Wen Xueqing and Wen Jiming to follow the soldiers to the fields to supervise the harvest. Noticed?

Or, do you want to take the opportunity to teach your children to understand these things?

Princess Lekang is not very sure.

Holding the corner of her skirt, Princess Lekang turned her head nonchalantly and ordered the maid to carefully put the extra cakes in the food box and some fresh fruits, and then called a few prudent boys to send the food box to the Ling Mansion .

Wen Xueqing, who was eating happily, froze.

The uncle looked at his wife calmly.

"The weather is hot, Your Highness should eat more to cool off the heat." He leisurely, without rushing, served another bowl of mung bean porridge to Princess Lekang.

"Thank you husband."

Princess Lekang took it, her hand was unsteady, and the spoon hit the bottom of the bowl.

Click.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The mung bean porridge in the bowl was scattered and splashed on Princess Lekang's skirt.

Sighing softly, the eldest uncle embraced Princess Lekang, pulled her away from the broken porcelain, waved his hands to let the servants clean up, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness has a heart, the Ling family and my family have a good relationship, and it is necessary to move around frequently."

Princess Lekang blinked, lowered her head and said, "My husband is right."

It is in the interests of the Wen family to let the children of the Wen family marry Ling Rou, and they have no reason not to support her.

She is overthinking.

As for what Empress Wei mentioned in the letter...need to discuss further.

Right now, the Wen family will not express their stance too clearly.

"Zhenzhen," Princess Lekang tidied up her dress, "If you are free, you can go to Ling Mansion more often if you want, it's a little kindness."

Responding vaguely, Wen Xueqing did not give a specific answer.

If she doesn't go, the servants can go, Princess Lekang will not force her.

Wen Jiming raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Xueqing, then suddenly said: "If Zhenzhen doesn't want to, I can go."

"Brother?" Wen Xueqing was startled.

Wen Jiming's brows and eyes were gentle, and he said slowly: "What's the matter? I don't want to embarrass you, so you don't want to?"

"Nor...not..."

If Wen Jiming goes, then it will be with Ling Rou...

Wen Xueqing said: "Let me go."

"Okay." Wen Jiming didn't say anything more.

Wen Xueqing was very concerned about why he suddenly mentioned this, and asked coyly: "Brother, why are you going to visit Lingrou all of a sudden?"

Wen Jiming snorted: "Did I say I wanted to find her?"

"But..." Wen Xueqing hesitated to speak, Princess Lekang meant to make her and Lingrou get closer...

Wen Jiming knocked Wen Xueqing's head off: "Can't I go find the son of the Ling family?"

"Brother lied to me again." Wen Xueqing pursed her lips and stood up, "I'll go!" Turning her head, she called the maidservant loudly: "Where is Liu Lang? Is school over yet? Bring him here. If he won't come , just tell him, let’s find a beautiful sister together.”

If he could go out to play without doing his homework, of course Liu Lang agreed.

Sitting on the carriage, Wen Xueqing babbled and asked: "When I go to Ling's mansion later, you must pay attention to etiquette and manners, don't keep pestering others to play with you, don't look and touch everything curiously..."

She talked a lot, but Wen Liulang just nodded and looked at her with blinking eyes.

After Wen Xueqing finished speaking, Wen Liulang smiled wickedly and winked at her: "Sister, are you nervous?"

"Tight... What are you nervous about? What is nervousness?"

Wen Xueqing categorically denied it.

Wen Liulang let out a long "oh", and stroked his chin thoughtfully like a little adult.

"You boy, what are you planning?" Wen Xueqing glanced at him and warned, "Let's go back to have dinner as soon as we finish delivering the things and exchanging greetings. Don't stay too long."

"No." Wen Liulang bent his lips and said with a smile, "I obey, sister!"

===

The sun was setting, the heat dissipated, and the sky was still bright.

Wen Xueqing took Wen Liulang's hand and walked slowly to the waiting room step by step.

Mrs. Cui brought a few girls from the Ling family to entertain Wen Xueqing.

"Why isn't Qiniang here?" Wen Xueqing couldn't help asking when she looked around and found that Lingrou was not there.

After Jiji ceremony, Lingrou's enthusiasm for various gatherings seemed to have dissipated, except for necessary festivals, she never held any more.

Wen Xueqing made an announcement as soon as she arrived, and asked all the young ladies of the Ling family to come out to talk with her. If Ling Rou was at home, she couldn't have known about it.

When Wen Xueqing asked this question, all the faces present were brilliant.

...Didn't it mean that the relationship is not good?

There were a few young ladies from the Ling family who were close friends who whispered. In this kind of private occasion, even if the two met, they would be relatively silent.It's better not to see each other, so as not to embarrass each other.

"Qiniang, she..." Cui Shi hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should call Ling Rou out.

Although Jiji Li Lingrou has become Wen Xueqing's admirer, but the two of them still don't have much contact.As early as when she informed that Wen Xueqing was coming, Ling Rou used the excuse of not being able to practice calligraphy.

But Princess Lekang called Wen Xueqing to come, is it to improve the relationship between the two?

"I'll ask someone to call Qiniang here, please wait a little bit." Cui Shi finally decided to call Lingrou.

Pingping curled up, a figure came down the corridor.

Lingrou is here.

After seeing the ceremony, Ling Rou sat quietly by the side without looking at Wen Xueqing again.

All behaviors and actions are in line with etiquette.

Wen Xueqing drank a few sips of tea and peeked at her from time to time, a little absent-minded.

After the Jiji ceremony, they met several times on other occasions, but they didn't speak to each other after that.When the two parted that day, Lingrou's expression was not good. Thanks to her family dinner that night, she deliberately didn't play the piano for brother, just thinking...

Wen Xueqing's eyelids trembled, she was thinking about something messy.It was specially reserved for her by the fifth brother. It was for... Anyway, not for Ling Rou!

"Sister..." Wen Liulang pulled Wen Xueqing's sleeve, "Didn't you say you want to go back early? I'm hungry."

Wen Xueqing woke up suddenly and came back to her senses. When she raised her eyes, Ling Rou was facing her, looking at her with clear eyes and a cold face.

"Since the little lady is going back, I won't send it away," Lingrou said, "I think the little lady should have a handsome gentleman to protect her."

"Huh?" Wen Xueqing was puzzled.

What does this have to do with a farewell?She's at Ling Rou's house, shouldn't she just send it off?

The rest of the people didn't understand what Ling Rou meant, and they all looked back in doubt.

Ling Rou frowned, Wen Xueqing was the little lady who was betrothed, besides having a good relationship with Gao Qi, she also had contacts with that Chang Chang Shi Duo.

A few days ago, when she stayed in Biezhuang and watched the farmers harvest, she saw Wen Xueqing talking to Chang Changshi, who looked very familiar.

With Wen Xueqing's informal personality, it's normal for any man who has been in contact with her to be moved.But it's also this character, Wen Xueqing can't see it at all!

She didn't know what she was angry about.

I heard that Mr. Gao's family is also very kind to Wen Xueqing, and he will send all kinds of things to Ling's house every year and festival.The two have been engaged since they were young. Wen Xueqing not only grew up with the Gao family's childhood sweetheart, but also has a close relationship with Gao Lan.After the Jiji ceremony, the Gao family bought the god pot in a big way, and rare and famous treasures poured in like flowing water.It is said that everything is ready, just waiting for Wen Xueqing to marry in.

Everyone likes her... The world likes to compare the two of them, even the mother.

Thinking about it, I was also envious of such a cheerful Wen Xueqing.

But she can't be like Wen Xueqing, she can't do it, the weak and empty Ling family behind her doesn't allow her to be so wanton.She can only take another path to be placed in the same position as Wen Xueqing by others.

Wen Xueqing couldn't understand Ling Rou's strange attitude.

Could it be that he hated the gift she received?But Ling Rou doesn't look like she will lack this master.She has made good friends with so many people, she has many friends, and the Ling family is not from a poor family, let alone treat the young lady in the family harshly.Ling Rou's mother, Cui Shi, is still the clan wife of the Ling family. Now that her eldest sister is married to King Li, Cui Shi is her only biological daughter, and she will never be missing.

What's wrong?

"The yin and yang are weird, it's too difficult to deal with..."

On the way back, Wen Xueqing recalled it carefully, but still couldn't find the reason.

Hearing her involuntary words, Wen Liulang clapped his hands suddenly: "Sister, let me tell you!"

"What... what?"

Wen Xueqing was taken aback by his startled behavior.

"Sister, you are lying!" Wen Liulang was full of confidence, and he spoke a lot louder, "You are obviously nervous! You will be nervous when you see that beautiful sister of the Ling family!"

Wen Xueqing stopped talking, stared at him in silence for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Liulang, what are you talking about? Tell sister again."

Wen Xueqing smiled nicely, but Wen Liulang shuddered inexplicably, and repeated tremblingly: "It's just... I'm nervous... It's obviously..."

"Don't say this again!" Wen Xueqing covered his mouth.

"why?"

"There is no reason." Wen Xueqing changed the subject, "You and I came to Ling's Mansion to deliver things as guests. Now that the delivery is over, it's time to go home for dinner."

Wen Liulang broke free from her hand and asked, "But sister, I said I was hungry when I was in Ling's mansion just now, why did it take you a long time to reply to me, obviously you said not to look around and touch, and then you just kept staring at me." That beautiful sister!"

"I've been staring at Ling Rou?"

Wen Xueqing's eyebrows twitched.Was it like this when she was thinking unconsciously?

"Yeah," Wen Liulang approached and analyzed Wen Xueqing, "You said that beautiful sister thought you offended her, that's why she said no to sending you... Hey, sister, it seems that you were the one who said to be polite before you came here. Bar?"

"Shut up! Don't mention this again!" Wen Xueqing held him down, "Aren't you going to go home for dinner? If you make trouble again, I'll put you down!"

Such a threat really frightened Wen Liulang.He sat quietly for a while, and finally waited until he returned to the Wen residence.

When getting out of the car, Wen Liulang was first helped down by the servants, and Wen Xueqing was sitting in the car, ready to help at any time.

Standing on the tiptoe chair, Wen Liulang suddenly turned his head to Wen Xueqing's side before stepping on the flat ground, and asked softly:

"But, sister, why are your ears so red?"

Wen Xueqing's eyelids trembled: "Stop!"

"A little bit—"

It was too late, Wen Liulang got off the ground, stuck out his tongue to make a face, threw off the supporting servants, and ran into the hall in a hurry.
