"I also need some Four Treasures of the Study. Please have someone bring them to me."
Lu Wushuang, who sat in the chrysanthemum room, ordered a few dishes under the personal service of shopkeeper Xu, and then spoke.
Shopkeeper Xu repeatedly said 'yes' and went downstairs in person to pick up the Four Treasures of the Study and deliver them to Lu Wushuang.
Lu Wu was seen holding a wolf hair in both hands, quickly writing a few words on the paper, drying the ink, folding the paper and handing it to Shopkeeper Xu.
"Shopkeeper Xu, do me a favor and give this note to the second young master of the Chen family in Meishi. Remember, don't disturb the eldest young master of the Chen family."
After explaining it, Lu Wushuang started writing letters again.
Shopkeeper Xu walked out of the plum room with the note and wandered in the aisle for a while. He saw a waiter carrying dishes and preparing to send them to the plum room. Shopkeeper Xu lowered his head and whispered in the waiter's ear.
After giving the order, the waiter nodded and walked into the plum room carrying the dishes.
"Who is the second son of the Chen family?" the waiter asked after placing the dishes on the table and following the instructions of shopkeeper Xu.
"I am the second young master of the Chen family, what can I do?" Chen Botao, a dark-skinned man, turned his head and looked at the waiter who brought the food in with confusion.
"There's someone looking for you outside." The waiter pointed outside the private room.
"Brother, please sit down for a while, I'll go out and take a look." Chen Botao got up and walked out.
In the corridor, shopkeeper Xu stood far away from the door of Meishi. When he saw Chen Botao coming out, he waved to him.
When he passed the lobby just now, Chen Botao saw shopkeeper Xu. He walked over in confusion, wondering what the shopkeeper wanted to see him for.
As soon as they approached, shopkeeper Xu thrust the note in Chen Botao's hand. Without saying anything, he walked up to the stairs and went to sit down in the lobby downstairs.
Inexplicably, Chen Botao opened the note in his hand, and the elegant and elegant font came into view, which read: When you see Jushi, don't disturb your elder brother. The word "unparalleled" is written at the signature.
When he saw the name on the signature line, Chen Botao felt happy. He hurriedly walked to the chrysanthemum room, pushed the door open, and saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.
"Miss Lu." Chen Botao shouted happily with a smile on his face.
Lu Wushuang smiled sweetly at him. This smile was so sweet that it entered Chen Botao's heart. The smile on his face became as bright as the sun.
"Brother Chen, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Worried that the person following him would come upstairs, Lu Wushuang did not dare to waste any more time and said straight to the point.
"You don't need to be polite to me. If you need any help, just ask." Chen Botao has a cheerful temperament and is a cheerful person.
"There is a letter here, please hand it to Bei Tangye for me, okay?" Lu Wushuang handed the letter he had just written and sealed to Chen Botao.
The reason why she chose to let Chen Botao deliver the letter was because she felt that Chen Botao was easy to get along with at the Chen family competition last time and he seemed to treat her well. Secondly, Beitang Ye had a close relationship with Chen Boxuan, and she had a close relationship with Chen Boxuan.
Chen Botao usually has less contact with him, so letting Chen Botao deliver the letter will not arouse suspicion.
Seeing the graceful and elegant handwriting on the letter, Chen Botao's heart was filled with panic and discomfort.
"If you are in trouble, forget it. Just pretend that I didn't say anything about what happened just now."
Seeing that Chen Botao was just staring at the letter, but did not take it for a long time, Lu Wushuang felt slightly disappointed. She retracted her hand to put away the letter.
At this time, Chen Botao snatched the letter away, with a hint of pain hidden deep in his gloomy eyes, "I'll send it to you."
"Thank you, Brother Chen. However, you must personally deliver this letter to Bei Tangye. You must not let others pass it on, and you must not let your brother know about it." Lu Wushuang solemnly confessed.
"Miss Lu, did something happen?" Looking at Lu Wushuang's solemn expression, Chen Botao vaguely felt that something had happened.
"You are overthinking. Nothing happened. It's just that the content in the letter is very important, so you must hand it over to Beitang Ye." Lu Wushuang quickly explained to avoid Chen Botao overthinking.
Chen Botao breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to Prince Qi personally."
"Then I would like to thank Brother Chen here first." Lu Wushuang thanked him and then continued: "Your brother is still waiting for you next door, you..."
Before the next words were uttered, Chen Botao put away the letter and stood up to leave. Originally, he wanted to invite Lu Wushuang to come over for dinner, but after thinking about what she had just said, not to disturb his elder brother, and presumably because he did not want to meet him, he did not.
Open your mouth.
After Chen Botao left, Lu Wushuang ate a few bites of food in a hurry, then got up and went downstairs. When paying the bill, shopkeeper Xu actually didn't take her money, which made her a little happy.
After leaving Qilixiang, Lu Wushuang wandered on the street for a while, but the tail behind her still couldn't be shaken off. She walked all the way to the city gate, rented a carriage, and left the city in the carriage, so the tail behind her didn't follow her.
.
At the foot of Qingyin Temple Mountain, after the Chinese Valentine's Day, there is only silence here. Sometimes there is the sound of bells ringing on the mountain.
Lu Wushuang sat on the stone stairs at the foot of the mountain, looking in the direction of the city, waiting for Beitang Ye to appear.
Prime Minister's Mansion, on a large flat stone.
Beitang Ye sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation, with his eyes slightly closed, waiting for Lu Wushuang to return.
In the front hall of Prince Qi's Mansion, Chen Botao, who had finished his meal at Qilixiang, was sitting on a chair waiting for Beitang Ye to return home.
The sun sets over the western mountains, and the sunset clouds cover the earth and the green mountains, giving them a crimson color.
At a glance, the green mountains become more and more beautiful and winding.
Lu Wushuang sat at the foot of Qingyin Temple, looking at the rolling green hills in the distance, watching the tired birds returning to their nests, but she couldn't see the person she was waiting for appearing in her field of vision.
"Beitang Ye, did you not see the letter I wrote to you, or did your mother tie your feet, or did you see the letter and didn't want to come?"
Waiting can make a person think wildly and make a person less confident.
At this time, Lu Wushuang looked up at the sky. The sunset had faded, and the cold smoke of dusk enveloped the earth and her lonely figure. In her mind, she imagined countless reasons why Beitang Ye did not show up.
Similarly, Beitang Ye, who was waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, looked up at the darkening sky, and he was also very anxious.
"Shuang girls, where have you been? The people at the palace gate said that you have obviously left the palace, why haven't you returned to the Prime Minister's Palace?"
In Prince Qi's Mansion, Chen Botao drank one cup after another, but Bei Tangye still hadn't returned home. He originally wanted to hand the letter to someone else, but when he thought of Lu Wushuang's instructions, he gave up the idea. He took a deep breath and continued.
Calm down and wait for Beitang Ye.
Time passed by, and it was already the zenith of the moon, and the silvery white light shone on this vast mountain top, cold and noble.
Lu Wushuang huddled up, folded his hands on his bent knees, rested his chin on his hands, stared in the direction of the city with moonlight eyes, stupidly waiting for Beitang Ye to appear.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had never waited so persistently for someone to appear.
In the silent night, the cold wind in the mountains howled, attacking Lu Wushuang's body. She stood up, rubbed her hands, and moved her hands and feet a few times to drive away the cold air.
The moon is gradually setting in the west, and it is almost dawn.
Prime Minister's Office.
After waiting all night, Bei Tangye's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he returned to Prince Qi's Mansion in great disappointment. When he passed by the front hall, he saw Chen Botao holding his head with his hands, playing like a chicken grabbing rice.
Take a nap.
Beitang Ye was slightly surprised, walked over and shook Chen Botao's shoulder, "Botao, why are you sleeping here?"
Hearing someone shouting, Chen Botao opened his eyes. He was sleeping uneasily, and his eyes were also covered with a few strands of bloodshot eyes. He saw that the person standing in front of him was Beitang Ye, and then looked at the blue-white sky outside the hall.
He said in a slightly unhappy tone: "Why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you all night."
"You've been waiting for me all night, why don't you come to me in a hurry?" Bei Tangye curled his lips and became even more surprised.
"I am looking for you in an emergency, but the person looking for you is not me, but Miss Lu." Chen Botao said as he took out the letter written by Lu Wushuang and handed it to Bei Tangye, "Here, here is
Miss Lu asked me to forward this letter to you."
"Damn it, why didn't you give me the letter earlier?" Bei Tangye grabbed the letter and complained to Chen Botao while tearing open the letter paper eagerly.
The letter read: See you at the foot of Qingyin Temple.
"I really wanted to give you the letter earlier, but the problem is that you never returned to the palace. If Miss Lu hadn't specially told me, I..." Chen Botao said with great grievance.
"Hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet, where are you going?"
Chen Botao was only halfway through his words when the Beitangye man ran out like a gust of wind. As he ran, he shouted, "Tieyi, hurry up and prepare a fast horse for me."
Seeing Bei Tangye's anxious expression, Tie Yi did not dare to delay, and immediately went to the stable to take the best horse to the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion.
The horse's reins had just been handed over to Bei Tangye. Bei Tangye climbed onto the horse as fast as he could in his life. He held the horse's reins with one hand and clutched the letter written by Lu Wushuang to him with the other. He clamped his legs together and felt like leaving.
The string of arrows flew towards the city gate.
"Shuang girls, I'm sorry, you must wait for me, wait for me." Beitang Ye, who was riding a horse at full speed, kept praying in his heart.
In the quiet morning, birds chirp and dewdrops hang on the leaves.
The sun penetrated the clouds, and its rays of light spread to the earth, dispersing the mist at the foot of Qingyin Temple.
Sitting on the stone steps, Lu Wushuang, who was sleeping on her knees, raised her head, facing the dazzling sunlight, her eyes felt slightly uncomfortable. She raised her hand to rub her dazed eyes, looking in the direction of overlooking the city, feeling thickly
Disappointment rose in his eyes.
"It's already dawn, but he still hasn't appeared."
Lu Wushuang stood up, moved his somewhat stiff limbs, and looked in the direction of overlooking the city with a nostalgic gaze with the last trace of hope.
"Beitang Ye, I will close my eyes now and count from one to one hundred. If you haven't appeared yet, I will leave and never see you again."
