Lu Erlang looked at Luo Lingyu and smiled tenderly.
Luo Lingyu: ...My cousin's aunt was right to worry. She also felt that my second cousin really liked me...
Lu Sanlang and Lu Yun stood at the gate of the courtyard, their eyes changed slightly when they saw the look in Lu Erlang's eyes when he looked at Luo Lingyu, so... affectionate?
Lu Yun coughed, and Lu Xian turned around and saw him. Luo Lingyu was accompanying the princess to worship Buddha, so Lu Xian came to greet his third brother. The two gentlemen discussed the court affairs. When Lu Erlang was still feeling proud of his changed fate, he heard Lu Sanlang say after a pause: "The war in the north is chaotic, I want to go to the border..."
Lu Jilang was suddenly: “……?!”
He immediately shouted: "I won't allow it!"
Lu Yun was startled by his second brother's sudden raised voice.
Under the willow breeze, Luo Lingyu and Liu Tang, who had just stepped down the stairs, were also frightened by Lu Erlang's roar and looked over.
Lu Yun was shaken by his second brother's emotional shoulder: "Sanlang, you stay in Jianye and don't go anywhere! If you want to go to the border, you have to step over my dead body first!"
Lu Yun was stunned: "...If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why is it so serious?"
Is second brother crazy?
Chapter 75
Since Luo Lingyu came to the Lu family, Lu Erlang was relatively normal at the beginning, but since then, his words and deeds have been inconsistent. Even his mother thinks he is strange, so it seems normal for everyone to think he is sick?
Standing at the edge of the pavilion outside the small Buddhist temple, across the willow and locust trees in the courtyard, Luo Lingyu felt a kind of pleasure of catharsis in her heart as she watched Lu Erlang scold Lu Sanlang in a serious tone - she felt very happy to see Lu Yun frustrated and unable to fight back.
Maybe Lu Yun usually put too much pressure on her.
While Luo Lingyu was actively improving her level when facing Lu Yun, she also hoped that someone could take care of Lu Yun. Now it seems that Lu Jia Erlang is probably the only one in the Lu family who would say this about Lu Yun——
"What border? Do you know how dangerous it is there? You still want to go to Nanyang. Do you remember that cousin Luo's fiancé is from Nanyang? You are too, too... too loving, aren't you? I know you are worried about the war, but we are already doing our best. Even if you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to help. What's more, you are a noble man, you have always been surrounded by people to serve you. If you go there..."
Lu Yun said: "I'm not going."
Lu Jilang: "...Don't think I'm intimidating you. I'm doing this for your own good. You're not suitable..."
Lu Yun's scalp felt like it was about to explode.
Especially through the shade of the trees, he could see the figures of the two girls over there. It was fine if Princess Ningping was confused, but he felt that he could already see Luo Lingyu's sneering face. His second brother actually scolded him in front of Luo Lingyu, where was his face?
In the Lu family, because his parents died early, the status of the third son Lu Yun is actually somewhat special. No matter what he does, the elders in the family are biased, as if they are afraid of wronging him and causing his parents to worry in the afterlife. The Lu family is a little cautious when facing Lu Yun. The only one who always speaks to him as an elder brother is Lu Xian, the second son. Lu Yun cherishes this brother very much...even though this brother often goes against his ideas.
Lu Yun felt aggrieved.
Luo Lingyu said something to Liu Tang. Liu Tang was still hesitating, but Luo Lingyu had already walked down the stone steps, brushing aside the weeping willows and walking over. Her graceful figure walked towards the two gentlemen of the Lu family, and Liu Tang hurriedly followed. As they got closer, Luo Lingyu could hear Lu Erlang's voice more clearly. There was indeed a perfect smile on her lips, but when she saw Lu Yun's indifferent face, the smile on her lips froze slightly——
Lu Sanlang had long eyelashes covering his eyes and a high nose bridge. The weeping willows and the sunlight intertwined, shining on his face. There was not much expression on his face.
Luo Lingyu tilted her head: Lu Yun doesn’t seem happy?
He acted very aloof even in front of his own people, which was indeed a sign of his bad mood.
Why is he unhappy? Because his second cousin said something bad about him and he felt embarrassed? But his second cousin often says bad things about him, and he never did that before. Or is it because he didn't like what his second cousin said?
Lu Yun interrupted Lu Erlang's earnest words: "Second brother, my cousin and the princess are here."
He raised his eyelids and met Luo Lingyu's eyes, who looked thoughtful. The girl stared at him in thought, which made Lu Yun feel a little uneasy, so he looked away. Luo Lingyu did not laugh at him, but when Lu Erlang turned around to face the two girls, he found an excuse and left in a hurry.
So Luo Lingyu thought more - it seemed that he really wanted to go to the border. If he left, who would marry her?
Luo Lingyu didn't see Lu Yun for several days. Lu Yun was busy with government affairs, and Danyang County was too far from the government office in Jianye, so Lu Yun went home less often than before. After Luo Lingyu and Zhou Yangling separated, she came to Danyang County to escape the summer heat with the Lu family. After all, she was unfamiliar with the place, and the weather was hot, so Luo Lingyu hid in her room and ate ice cream and made incense. She didn't even have much interest in playing with her cousins because it was too hot.
She was lazy a lot.
She is completely different from the previous Luo girl who liked to make friends and have fun everywhere.
In the afternoon of the dog days, cicadas chirped and willows were quiet. It was time for a nap. The little girl was led to sleep by the maid. Luo Lingyu fanned her for a long time. After the little girl fell asleep, she returned to her room and took out the half-embroidered purse and silk. Women's work takes a lot of time. A girl like Luo Lingyu who likes socializing doesn't like to sit there and do needlework. But she had nothing to do now, so she took it out to kill time.
The door creaked open, and from the hot and humid air into the cool house, the maid Lingyu's face was burned red by the sun, and her jacket stuck to her back, which was also wet. The shadows of the curtains were exquisite, and Lingyu looked out and saw a fruit plate on the wooden table next to the table, and honey shaved ice on the golden plate. The cherries were sprinkled with a layer of sticky sugarcane pulp, the scarlet fruits, the milky white ice water, and the red and white "snow mountain" were so refreshing. The coolness came from the direction of the honey shaved ice.
This novel "honey smoothie" is obviously another clever idea of my cousin.
The cousin was always clever in eating, playing and wearing. She still lowered her head to embroider her purse after she knew the maid had entered the room. Luo Lingyu did not raise her head: "Do they like the 'honey shaved ice' that I sent to the old lady?"
