Listening to the autumn wind blowing quietly, the streets and alleys are obviously crowded with people, rubbing shoulders, but at this time it is quiet.
Lu Jing's expression remained unchanged as he stood at the end of the bridge, but he felt helpless in his heart.
He knew that this was Princess Chong'an trying to make him famous, but so many people's eyes fell on him, but it made Lu Jing, who had always been calm, feel a little... embarrassed.
Even Nan Xuehu on the side turned his head and looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to see him through.
Despite this, Lu Jing's face didn't show any signs of it.
With everyone watching and guessing.
Lu Jing first bowed and thanked her, then slowly shook his head and said, "Thank you, Princess. I'm traveling with my friends, so I won't disturb the Princess."
Lu Jing actually knew very well that it was one thing for the princess to invite her, but it was another thing entirely for him to agree and actually get on her carriage.
Even if they are not in the same sedan, they must have lost a lot of etiquette and will be subject to many unfounded speculations.
Lu Jing was not stupid, so he would not really get on the sedan just because Princess Chong'an gave him face and helped him become famous.
Lu Jing finished speaking.
The eyes of Zhongshan Marquis, Nan Xuehu, and even the many people on the bridge immediately turned to Princess Chong'an.
Princess Chong'an's robes are floating in the dusk wind, her white clothes are floating in the air, she is quiet and out of the dust, which is unforgettable at a glance.
When she heard Lu Jing's words, a smile clearly appeared in her eyes. She nodded lightly towards Lu Jing and sat back in the sedan.
The journey started again.
At this time, the setting sun in the distance slowly set, spreading a cloud of sunset, and the evening mist of autumn also filled the air.
Many people watched the princess driving away.
When they looked back again, they looked towards the bridge.
Nan Xuehu, who was dressed in brocade and splendid clothes and had an extraordinary appearance, was still there.
The simple young man beside Nan Xuehu who could make the princess roll up the curtains has disappeared.
The Marquis of Zhongshan thought for a while and then mounted the dragon horse again. The clatter of the dragon horse's hooves also gradually faded away.
The crowd dispersed.
However, Lu Jingcai's twenty-day appointment still echoed in Nan Xuehu's mind.
"You started to kill me on the 20th... did you want to trick me into that quiet alley and play tricks on me?"
Nan Xuehu couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind, but then he remembered Lu Jingcai's words and deeds, as well as his serious and firm eyes...
He shook his head, with a smile on his face: "Do you care if it's true or not? In twenty days, I will go to that alley again to take a look."
"But...this Lu Jing is indeed beyond my expectation. He actually got the princess's invitation."
——
Lu Jing walked back to Lu Mansion.
Enter the west courtyard from the west gate.
When the dusk mist in the sky was heavy and heavy, clouds and mist condensed in the sky, and an autumn rain began to fall.
As soon as the autumn rain falls, the weather turns cooler.
If the autumn rain falls again, the weather will become freezing.
Walking on the tree-lined road, across the distant landscape, I saw Qing Yue wearing that floral dress, standing under the eaves, looking at the entrance of the small courtyard from a distance.
There is no doubt that Qing Yue must be waiting for him.
Lu Jing came from afar, Qing Yue squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and a smile suddenly broke out on her face.
She blocked the rain with one hand and hurried out of the courtyard.
Lu Jing frowned and walked much faster.
"Master, are you back?" Qing Yue spoke softly before she even reached Lu Jing.
Lu Jing walked a few more steps and said, "It's raining in autumn, what are you doing out here? If you catch the wind and cold, it will be extremely difficult to recover."
Qing Yue took a look at the oil paper bag Lu Jinghu put under his clothes and thought it was the food the young master brought back to the academy.
First he wrinkled his nose and said, "Master, why did you bring so much food? But there are guests coming?"
Lu Jing smiled and shook his head, then lifted up the other side of his long coat to cover Qing Yue's body.
Only then did the two of them enter the courtyard under the eaves.
Qing Yue still had a smile on her face and said with a crooked eyebrow, "Master, I have prepared some gifts for you."
"Gift?"
Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said, "What gift?"
Qing Yue was not in a hurry, she pulled Lu Jing into the room, took a facekerchief, and carefully wiped away the water droplets from Lu Jing's hair and face.
Then he turned around and took out a few pieces of clothing from the cabinet.
But when Qing Yue shook, a set of robes fell down.
On the silver robe, the collar and cuffs are embroidered with white piping with flowing moire patterns, which does look a bit noble.
There is also a blue auspicious cloud ribbon tied around the waist of the robe.
In Qingyue's other hand, there is another silver crown inlaid with jade. The white jade is crystal clear and has a bit of a gentleman...
This is indeed a nice outfit.
"Look, Master...does it look good?"
Qing Yue raised her head and said: "I went to the famous cloth shop in Kaique Lane to order this, and it was just finished today.
Although this material is not as good as the material from Sanghuai Mansion and Liuqing Mansion, it is also Sichuan satin and northern silk, making it warm and comfortable to wear.
Qing Yue was busy introducing, but she didn't forget to take Lu Jing's hand and touch the material carefully.
Hmm...it's gentle and soft to the touch, it's really good material.
Lu Jing felt a lot warmer in his heart when he saw the smile on Qing Yue's face.
He looked at the old dress on Qing Yue's body and wondered what he was thinking.
Qingyue thought he was concerned about the price of the clothes, so she explained with a smile: "Master, do you remember the peach blossom cakes I sold a few days ago? They sold for a total of twenty-two taels of silver, and this set of clothes was twelve
two."
"Let me tell you, the proprietress of that cloth shop is really awesome. The first three times I went there, she always refused to sell me for fifteen taels. I went there a few more times, and maybe she was annoyed, so she only agreed to give me twelve taels.
."
"At that time, the young master had not given me that one tael of gold. I only ordered clothes, thinking that if the young master did not want to use it for martial arts training, he could also use it for household purposes."
"Then the young master gave me the scrap of gold, so I quickly went to the cloth shop and ordered this silver-plated and jade-inlaid crown. The total added up to twenty-two taels, which just happened to use up all my silver taels..."
Qing Yue's old habit relapsed, Lu Jing was silent all the time, but she kept talking and kept talking.
She spoke for a while, but Lu Jing suddenly turned around and took the package on the table.
Qingyue looked over curiously.
Lu Jing opened the package, Qing Yue's expression froze at first, then became brighter, and then her eyes were full of surprise...
Because the package contained a beautiful blue silk embroidered dress, a moire-patterned blouse, and a soft brocade cloak.
Every piece of material is of excellent craftsmanship, and when matched with each other, it looks even more beautiful.
"Master, these clothes...are worn by other ladies..."
"Don't try to compliment me. Some of the maids in the Lu family are wearing much better clothes than this. You should try it on quickly. If it's too big or too small, I'll take it with you to the library tomorrow so that it can be changed."
"Then young master, you should try it too..."
A master and a servant were busy trying on clothes.
After a long time, both of them were wearing new clothes, sitting in the back room, looking at the patter of autumn rain outside.
Both Qing Yue and Lu Jing seemed to be completely different people.
Decorated with new clothes, the already good-looking boys and girls became even more beautiful.
Especially Qing Yue, a girl originally wanted to be decorated with dresses, and she looked even more beautiful wearing this new set of clothes.
Beauty is like a peach in three springs, talk is like a chrysanthemum in nine autumns, there is no need to say too much about beauty.
In Lu Jing's eyes, Qing Yue at this moment was much more beautiful than Xi Xiang in Lu Feng's courtyard.
The two of them looked outside the door, and Qing Yue peeked at Lu Jing from time to time.
I just feel that the young master today is really handsome.
"Master, our life is getting better and better."
After a long time, Qingyue suddenly sighed.
Lu nodded: "Don't worry."
"It will get better and better."
——
It was night, Lu Jing imagined the great sage Yantian, the king of Ming Dynasty, practicing the light of the sun, moon and sword.
The light from the moon seemed to flow down and fall onto Lu Jing's brush.
While Lu Jing was practicing the sun and moon sword light with his writing brush, he was thinking about finding some ways to draw a sword.
Otherwise, twenty days later, if he uses the brush to kill Nan Xuehu, I'm afraid... it will be too difficult.
Time passed quietly.
The fifth and sixth days passed in a blink of an eye.
Lu Jing practices daily, goes to the library every day, and excerpts from classics every day.
The only difference is that his soul is becoming more and more solid.
Whenever his soul leaves his body, he can use it in his brush to cast the light of the sun and moon sword.
The light on the brush gets a little brighter every time.
Lu Jing introduced the moonlight into the brush, and under the many incantations and seals, Lu Jing vaguely felt that with the moonlight, there was also a layer of mysterious aura of heaven and earth, and the soul that the aura of heaven and earth fell into the brush.
Under the moonlight, the sword is sharp and shining.
Lu Jing's floating spirit sensed these energies and felt that he was extremely powerful.
"In a few days, we will be able to see the sun directly!"
"When you enter Rizhao, you can do something serious and kill the Southern Snow Tiger!
Even if you can't kill him, you can still seriously injure him and get the most dangerous thing."
