The two of them stood like this, one standing under the window, the other standing at the window. Luo Lingyu threw all the junk out and hit Lu Yun fiercely. Lu Sanlang was so angry that he cursed her a few times, and she cursed back. After failing to please Lu Yun, Luo Lingyu became sharp-tongued, and was not inferior to Lu Yun in any way.
The maids hid under the pillars and trembled: "Sanlang and the girl had a quarrel... Can you please not vent your anger on the gifts given by others? What if the bottles and jars are broken?"
They can just throw their own.
But Luo Lingyu didn't throw away her own gifts, and Lu Yun didn't throw away his either. They just threw the gifts given by other men and women at their feet, and they laughed at each other fiercely.
It was not until Lu Yun finally found it ridiculous and was hit by a can by Luo Lingyu that he scolded her as "little girl" and then remembered to walk away.
As soon as they left, Luo Lingyu looked at him with hatred, then suddenly fell down and cried on the table. Lu Sanlang, who had not walked out for long, felt his back stiffen. He had good hearing and could hear her sobbing on the table. She cried sadly, and he was sad to hear it. He stood under the magnolia tree in the yard for a long time, his steps heavy, and he could hardly lift his head - he wanted to turn around and comfort her immediately.
But then he would lose.
And how awful she is!
Chapter 55
After a night of rain and wind, the next morning, the ground in the courtyard and the stone steps outside the door were covered with flower petals, like a carpet, and the garden was full of fragrance. The shadows of flowers swayed, and the trees were cold, layer by layer, reflected on the mottled bamboo curtains. In the summer, when everything is flourishing, there is also a sense of laziness. Behind the bamboo curtain at the door, the girl was combing her makeup in front of the mirror, with a look of sadness in her eyes. She was being served by the maids, inserting the last hairpin in her hair. The maids opened the curtain and went in, stepping softly, not daring to make a sound to provoke the girl.
After a while, Luo Lingyu came back to her senses first, and told her maid Lingxi what her sister had to do today. Lingxi hesitated, and said on behalf of the young lady: "Lu Jia Silang has invited us young lady to go turtle watching. The young lady wants to go, what do you think?"
Luo Lingyu turned her head and looked at Lingxi outside the curtain, thinking: "Silang Lu Chang? The one who had a fight with Huan'er before? Is little Silang very familiar with our Huan'er?"
Lingxi said quickly: "Not really! I'm really annoyed by him. I just like to go out and play."
Luo Lingyu looked at her dimly: "Why are you so nervous? What are you explaining? Would I let Huan'er curry favor with my little cousin? The master of the Lu family is a proper master, and we in the Luo family are born to make them happy? The Lu family has noble character, and we in the Luo family are all utilitarian?"
Lingxi's face froze, and she shut up and didn't dare to reply. Since the quarrel between the girl and Sanlang that night, she has been speaking in a sour tone these past two days, and she seems to be mocking someone. Lingxi is timid, and she was the one who handled the bracelet incident. She never thought that the glass shop was owned by Lu Sanlang... Lingxi was worried that the girl would scold her and settle accounts with her these past two days, and she was restless.
However, Luo Lingyu did not scold her, she just said something unpleasant, and Lingxi was already very grateful.
Seeing Lingxi being bullied so easily, Luo Lingyu sighed and found it quite boring. She waved her hand to signal Lingxi to go down, and promised to let Huan'er go out to play in the yard. The hairpin in Luo Lingyu's hair was just inserted. She stood up slowly, with a slender waist. She wore a plain cross-collared short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, a Autumn Fragrance-colored skirt, and a thin gauze shawl on her arms. The girl was tall and thin, with a beautiful face. She paced a few steps behind the bamboo curtain, and everything in the yard was eclipsed.
Luo Lingyu: "Let's go, the oxcart should be ready."
The girl is going out again.
Lingyu, the maid who was tidying up Luo Lingyu's clothes, hesitated. She glanced at the girl secretly and said worriedly, "You just had a quarrel with Sanlang, and you are going out so high-profile. Isn't it not good?"
Luo Lingyu was annoyed when she heard this: "Why should I please him?"
Originally, I was only 50% interested in going out, but now my intention has increased to 90% - I hope Lu Yun is unhappy.
She was angry with Lu Sanlang at this time. Although she knew that she was wrong, she still couldn't get off the stage after Lu Yun said that. After crying all night and seeing her swollen eyes the next day, Luo Lingyu decided not to associate with this man anymore. Although she was very angry with Lu Yun, they had known each other for so long that she could see that Lu Yun would not publicize their conflict and let the whole Lu family know that her cousin had a bad character.
The only good thing about this man is that he doesn't tell anyone about the good or the bad - this is why Luo Lingyu is not afraid that the Lu family will know what she has done and why she still dares to go out and socialize.
Lingyu was originally worried that Luo Lingyu had offended Lu Sanlang and would suffer some loss in the Lu family, but seeing that Luo Lingyu did not think that Lu Sanlang would target her, Lingyu had to shut up and closely followed the girl's steps. Luo Lingyu went straight to the main gate, and soon after she left "Xuesuyuan", she saw Lu Erlang and Lu Xian who were also planning to go out.
When she greeted Lu Xian, Lu Erlang smiled and nodded as he looked at her. The young man had a handsome face and wore a wide-sleeved brocade robe. When he stood in the wind, his sleeves fluttered like wrinkles, and he looked very elegant and refined. Usually, he was outshined by Lu Sanlang, and wherever he went, people would see Lu Sanlang. However, as long as Lu Sanlang was not around, it could be seen that the other young men in the Lu family were also very outstanding.
Without Lu Sanlang to attract her attention, Luo Lingyu realized that Lu Erlang seemed to have changed. In the past, Lu Erlang was dull and boring, and would blush when he looked at her. Now, although he still looked like a weak scholar, his temperament was much more lively and agile - it seemed that a lot of things happened to her second cousin when she was not paying attention.
When Lu Erlang saw his cousin, his eyes sparkled and he said something to the servant behind him. The servant looked at his cousin in surprise and ran away. Luo Lingyu didn't know what they were doing, so she pretended not to see it and casually started a conversation: "Second cousin just came back from court, and he's going out again? I thought he wasn't that busy."
Lu Xian said: "My official position has changed. Now I work under the Grand Marshal. After I have real power, I find that government affairs are also very busy."
Luo Lingyu was surprised: Lu Erlang was no longer obsessed with landscape poetry and painting? Was he interested in officialdom?
