Harue Kagetsu - Chapter 104

The green lady was stunned.

The identity the woman reported was too unexpected.

She didn’t know how to react at first. After a long while, Fang came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, and bowed in salute.

Luoshen had already stood up, went up and stretched out his hand to support her.

“Sister doesn’t need to be more polite. I heard that that day was the clear proof that my elder sister gave for my husband in court, so that my husband could get rid of his stigma. I should have thanked my elder sister, how can I accept the elder sister’s courtesy again. ?”

In the face of such a noble lady, how could Lu Niang dare to rely on her power to support her?

He hurriedly said, “Don’t dare to be my wife calling me that. I’m from a low-class background. If my wife calls me a green lady, it’s a great compliment to me.”

Luoshen smiled and said, “The sword of a poor man and a hero is fragrant. At that time, my sister dared to fight evil with her life, but later she was not afraid of her lustful power to testify. Here, not to mention women, even men and women are among the best. I respect your style, and you are a few years older than me, so why can’t you be my sister?”

The green lady was stunned.

Gao’s daughter’s talent and high reputation, she had heard about it a few years ago, especially when she heard the song of Xiaoqin Harmony with Lu Jiadalang, she was even more envious. But that’s about it.

How could she have thought that one day, she would stand in front of her and talk to her like this.

In front of this young woman, she not only looks like a fairy, as rumored, but also has a noble body, and her behavior and words do not show any arrogance. Especially, for such a person in the dust, he is so obedient, praised and praised as his sister.

What kind of courtesy is this, how could Lu Niang not know it? How could she not be moved by it, even flattered?

She thanked her again, and sat down as she said.

After being seated, Lu Niang gradually calmed down.

A person of her status, who condescended to come here tonight and called herself to her, naturally had something to say.

The green lady waited for her to speak. For a long while, she didn’t hear her voice again. Quietly took a look. Seeing that her eyes were fixed on the cluster of candles in the corner of the desk, she was slightly distracted, if she had something on her mind. He also began to wonder in his heart. Suddenly I thought of a possibility, I was shocked, and immediately said: “General Li and I have never known each other before. I have been in Qinhuai for many years, and that night was the first time I saw General Li appear in the Qinlou. Everything is a coincidence. Offended Madam, please forgive me.”

This woman named Lv Niang, although she was born in a building, she acted with a bit of style. She just met, and when she saw her coming with the piano, she did not have the smoky look she imagined. Although things started because of her , but it was resolved without any danger, and she also stood up to testify, made great efforts, and called out her sister, but it was out of gratitude.

After Luoshen was seated, he was still hesitating about how to ask questions. Suddenly, she heard her speak. The implication seemed to be clearing the relationship between her and Li Mu. Knowing that she had misunderstood her intention, she raised her eyes to look at her and smiled.

“Sister misunderstood. I don’t think so. I came here tonight and took the liberty to invite my sister on board. There is something else, and I want to ask my sister to tell me.”

“Madam, but there is something you don’t understand, please ask, and I will know everything.”

Lu Niang put down her heart and said respectfully.

Luo Shen thanked him, and then asked, “Can my sister tell me the details of what happened that night? Why is my husband so serious that he would hurt someone so badly?”

“I heard that that person was rude to my sister that night. When Langjun met by chance, he saw injustice on the road and offered to help. Langjun and that person did have disputes before. But I know my Langjun, because of his usual temperament. For, even if you can’t bear to teach a lesson, it will never be like this.”

She paused.

“My sister should also know the identity of the injured person. She is the second son of the Lu family. Because it involves two families, it is not a trivial matter. I was puzzled and thought that my sister should have experienced what happened that night, so I took the liberty to ask.”

The green lady was stunned again.

Mrs. Li Mu came to find her. She thought at first that the other party suspected that Li Mu had selfishness with herself, so she stood up for her, so she was anxious to clear it up in front of her.

When she opened her mouth and finally explained her intention, Lu Niang was surprised again.

What happened that night, Li Xie repeatedly ordered her to detain the people present at the time, and not to reveal a word to them.

She is in the dust, how could she not know that this kind of secret secrets of dignitaries and nobles, which cannot be known by others, was so happened to be known by herself.

That Li Mu didn’t want the piano score that his wife gave to Lu Da to be known.

What she didn’t expect was that even after so many days had passed, even Gao’s daughter, who made the sheet music, didn’t even know about it.

Listening to her tone just now, after Li Mu returned that night, not only did he not confront her, but he seemed to have completely concealed the matter.

What the **** is going on here?

When it comes to the secret of the other couple, even the husband himself does not say it, how can Lu Niang dare to speak rashly? Seeing the woman opposite her eyes turned towards her, she didn’t dare to look at her for a while, she lowered her eyes, and quickly thought about how to deal with it.

Luo Shen saw that she avoided his eyes, and the doubt in his heart came out more and more.

If it was said that it was only three or four points at first, then at this moment, that group of doubts has already confirmed seven or eight points. What really happened that night must be different from what was announced in Taicheng the next day.

This green lady must know the secret, but she has some scruples.

“To tell you the truth, because I was puzzled about what happened that night, I asked Mr. Lang several times. But he answered me all of the time and avoided answering.”

she said.

Lu Niang cleared her throat, smiled, and replied as if nothing had happened: “General Li is a man, and he must have cherished his wife even more. Now that the unpleasant chores have passed, he doesn’t want to mention them again. So as not to cause the lady to worry. Why should the lady think so much? Besides, there was really nothing else that night.”

Luo Shen was silent for a moment, then said slowly: “Sister, tomorrow morning, I will leave Jiankang with Lang Jun. Since I came here tonight after looking for you, I am not afraid of you laughing, and I will tell you the truth.”

“I don’t know if my elder sister has ever been attached to one person in order to grow old together. Back then, when I became attached to Li Langjun, if my elder sister lived in the city for a long time, I would have heard of it. If I can do it with Langjun to this day, outsiders don’t know it, but I know it myself. Ups and downs are not easy.”

“Lang Jun seriously injured someone and almost got into a lawsuit, but in front of me, he avoided talking about it. I knew it was related to me, but he didn’t sue me. He will be leaving tomorrow, and he will come back next time. I don’t know why. At that time, I had such doubts in my heart, how can I feel at ease? After thinking about it, maybe only my sister can help me here, so I took the liberty to come here tonight.”

“If it were someone else, if I had a request, I would use money to move it. But my sister is different. Although I only learned about the name of Lu Niang a few days ago, a woman who can do such a righteous deed, and she is also a woman. Could it be that money can easily impress you? Therefore, I dare not insult you, but sincerely ask for it, begging my sister to tell me the truth and solve my doubts with empathy.”

The smile on Lu Niang’s face gradually disappeared.

Luo Shen stared at her opposite.

“As for what happened that night, I guess my sister may have been instructed to do so, and she was in trouble. I also know that speaking like this is like a strong man. I just came here with the idea of ​​giving it a try. I don’t dare to force you to help me. Please forgive me for the harassment tonight.”

A smile appeared on the corner of Luoshen’s lips, and he bowed slightly to her.

On the opposite side, no matter it was anyone else, no matter how intimidating it was, Lu Niang would never reveal a word about that night.

But at this moment, listening to the gentle words of Gao’s family’s daughter, which are full of emotions, slowly pouring out in her ears, I feel that she is clearly looking forward to it, but she restrains her polite behavior. Judging by her age, she is younger than herself, but it seems to be from the inside. In addition, the polite and respectful style of everyone blowing her face completely convinced her.

In her heart, there was even a little happiness. Fortunately, her husband had time to stop the Lu family son. Otherwise, as Lu Huanzhi said, as long as you give money, there are many people who are willing to do this kind of thing. At this moment, there must be rumors and rumors all over the city.

When she thought of the woman in front of her being so humiliated, she couldn’t bear it.

Lu Niang no longer hesitated, nodded, got up and went to the piano, sat down, and quietly recalled a piece of tune that she had tried out that day, stroked the strings with both hands, and played it.

Luoshen looked at Lu Niang’s actions, and was a little dazed at first, not knowing why she suddenly played the piano to him.

Until that tune was plucked from the string with her ten fingers, she suddenly stopped.

This tune sounds a little familiar, like deja vu.

After a few more tunes, she suddenly recognized it.

This…

It seems that last spring, at Lu Xiurong’s request, he composed the qin piece for Lu Jianzhi, who was sick at the time and was far away in Jiaozhou!

She heard it right, she could be sure.

But in front of this girl named Lu Niang, how could she possibly play this sheet music?

Luo Shen was shocked.

Lu Niang finished touching the part that she still remembered, stopped, got up, returned to Luoshen, and sat down on her knees again.

“Does this song sound familiar, Madam?” Lu Niang asked.

Luoshen woke up like a dream and looked at her.

“How…how did you get this score?”

As soon as he asked the question, suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and Luoshen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“Could it be Lu Huanzhi?”

She lost her voice and stood up.

Lu Niang nodded: “I didn’t know he was the son of the Lu family that night. At that time, he came and took out the piano score, saying that you wrote it to the son of the Lu family in March last year. I don’t want to, he went away in embarrassment, looking for someone else to do things for him.”

“Li Langjun came at that time, blocked people, then closed the door and moved his hand…”

Lu Niang recalled the scene at that time, and as she spoke, seeing that she seemed unsteady, she hurriedly got up to help her.

Luoshen calmed down and sat back slowly.

In the past few days, after the incident, Lu Niang sometimes had nothing to think about, and also felt doubts. Is Li Mu’s wife Gao’s daughter really as Lu Huanzhi said, after marrying Li Mu, she is still with Lu’s eldest son. The old love is hard to break, and you borrowed the piano score to express your feelings? It’s a pity that I only played the first measure of the song at that time, and I couldn’t understand what the whole song was about, so I was curious.

Tonight, after sitting opposite this young Mrs. Li for so long, all the doubts in her heart disappeared.

Intuition made her believe that even if the noble and polite young woman in front of her still had lingering affection for other men, she would definitely not make such a show of affection.

What’s more, listening to what she said just now, although it was only a few words, the affection for her husband revealed in the words was obvious.

When Lu Niang saw her sitting down, her face was pale, her eyes were slightly lowered, her lips were tightly closed, and she looked a little tired, and she didn’t dare to speak any more, she just stayed by the side quietly.

Luoshen lowered his head, sat silently for a moment, and said in a low voice, “The score is indeed written by me, but Lu Huanzhi is slandering… The so-called Luanfeng song name was also fabricated by him. At that time, his brother was in a different place and could not afford to be sick…”

She also didn’t know why she had explained the reason for making this song to the green lady who had never known her before, and after muttering a few words, she came to her senses and stopped abruptly.

She slowly raised her eyes, looked at the woman who was looking at her with worried eyes, showed her own smile, and changed her tone: “Thank you, sister, for telling me, I have counted. Tonight has been disturbing for a long time, so I will go first. In the future, if my sister has a place to get me, feel free to speak up.”

The green lady hurriedly thanked her.

Luoshen stood up, was about to leave, stopped again, and asked, “My sister has offended people for my reputation. I wonder if Li Xie and Li Duwei have arrangements?”

Lu Niang hurriedly said: “Madam, don’t worry. Li Duwei has made arrangements and sent someone to protect me.”

Luoshen nodded and left the cabin.

Lu Niang sent her out of the cabin and watched the figure come ashore. Under the entourage of her followers, she boarded the car parked on the shore, walked away, and disappeared into the night.

…

Li Mu will leave Beijing tomorrow. Li Xie and others chose a famous Linjiang Restaurant by the Xijiang River in the city to hold a banquet for him.

The kindness was difficult, so Li Mu naturally went to the banquet. During the banquet, the coffins were staggered, and everyone had a cup of wine and rejoiced.

Li Mu thanked everyone again and again, said goodbye, and after they dispersed, he did not return home immediately, stepping on the moon, walking to the nearby river, facing the river under his feet alone, stood silently for a moment, and took out the The sheet music, which was already wrinkled by the rain that night, rolled up and threw it hard towards the rolling river waves in Jiang Xin that were running day and night.

That thing drew a long trajectory in the night sky, and finally turned into a small dot, falling in the vortex in the heart of the river dozens of feet away, and was instantly engulfed by the surging river and disappeared without a trace.

Li Mu turned around, mounted his horse and galloped back.

When he returned, it was very late, and Gao Qiao had already returned to the house. When the porter saw him returning, he closed the door and bolted it.

Li Mu returned to the hospital, pushed open the hidden door, and entered the house.

The lights in the room were still on, the bed net was low, and a pair of her embroidered shoes were taken off the floor. She could faintly see her figure lying on the bed, motionless. Knowing that she was probably asleep, she lightly entered the bathroom. , come out, turn off the lights and go to bed.

That rainy night incident, Li Mu knew that it scared her. In the past few days, during the day, she looked the same as usual, but at night, when the two of them were in bed, facing him, although she was still submissive, she was not interested in the matter at all, and she lost all the ambiguity she had when she was in bed before. Enthusiasm and stickiness that haunts him.

Li Mu knew that she should not have fully recovered from the shadow she brought her that night. I also regret it. Since she was not in the mood, he naturally did not dare to touch her again, so as not to annoy her again.

It’s been a few nights. Going to bed tonight, only approaching, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her hair and skin, Li Mu felt a familiar sense of thirst. Forcing myself not to think about it, after tossing and turning for a long time, Fang slowly fell asleep.

After a night of silence, the two woke up early the next morning.

Luoshen got up first, got down, walked to the head of the bed, hung up the bed curtain, and urged him to get up.

Li Mu watched silently, seeing that she had hung up the bed tent, urged himself, turned around and was about to leave, stretched his arms around her, and gently retracted his arms. can stand? People jumped on him.

Li Mu turned over and pressed her back on the bed.

Luoshen shook his head, raised his hand to block his face leaning towards him, stared at him, and said in a low voice, “Don’t make trouble, you have to leave early. Everyone outside is getting up. Don’t ask Aye Aniang and the others to wait.”

In the corridor outside, there was a sound of footsteps made by the relieved servants as they walked.

Li Mu stopped.

Luoshen smiled slightly, pushed him away gently, sat up, lowered his head and straightened his clothes, then went out to open the door, and asked someone to bring water in to serve and wash.

Li Mu looked at her back and slowly let out a breath. He had already heard the footsteps of the servant girl entering, so he had to get up.

After the two got dressed and washed, they went to Gao Qiao and the princess together.

After a lot of busywork and a goodbye, at the end of the day, Li Mu took Luoshen, still Fan Cheng, Aju and others, to board the boat and follow the waterway to Jingkou.

A few days later, the boat arrived at the dock, and the two returned to Li’s house.

Lu received the news that his son and daughter-in-law would return home two days ago. He and A Ting have been looking forward to it. Today, they are finally looking forward to it. They are happy and affectionate, so there is no need to repeat them.

One year later, Mrs. Lu’s body is tough, and Ah Ting’s height is also taller than before, and she has the appearance of a maiden. When she sees Luoshen, she calls out to her sister-in-law, hugs Luoshen and refuses to let go, which provokes Lu. Shi kept smiling.

The Li family was very lively that day. Mrs. Shen and a pair of sons and daughters, many neighbors, as well as the Beijing password, the old days of Li Mu intersected, and the news came one after another.

Shen shi hadn’t seen her husband for a long time and missed her very much. Li Mu brought back a letter from Jiang Tao to her. He also had a plan. After the situation in Longxi stabilized, he would take over his mother, sister, and Shen shi. When the people heard this, they were all delighted and hopeful.

Li Mu and Luoshen stayed at home for a few days, and the Lu family urged Li Mu to bring Luoshen back to Yicheng earlier, so that they didn’t have to worry about themselves.

Seeing that everything was fine with his mother and the servants at home were complete, Li Mu felt relieved, and after spending a few days of filial piety in front of his mother with Luoshen, he planned to leave tomorrow morning and return to Yicheng.

On the eve of his departure, he had been socializing a little late, and when he came back to see Luoshen not sleeping, he not only waited for himself, but also served him to bathe and help him get dressed. After going to bed, with a bit of alcoholism, he gently hugged her body into his arms, and tentatively put his palm on the silky skin under the quilt.

I have endured it for many days, and now I only feel more and more thirsty. Seeing her lying beside me, like a submissive cat, I completely relieved my heart, hugged her, and began to make out with her.

Luoshen whispered: “Lang Jun, do you really have nothing to tell me?”

Li Mu paused, said “no” vaguely, and continued to make out with her.

“I have something I want to tell you.”

“Last spring, you went to Yicheng. After I was taken home by Aye, I learned that Lu Jianzhi was depressed in Jiaozhou and was not recovering from his long-term illness. The sister of the Lu family asked me for help. I composed a piano piece. , use the song as an endorsement, hand it over to the sister of the Lu family, and pass it on to Cambodia on her behalf.”

Li Mu slowly stopped.

Luoshen continued: “The title of the song is not Luan Fengming. There is no love between men and women in the song. It’s just that I encouraged him to lift his spirits out of his old friendship with Lu Jianzhi.”

“It was my negligence that I didn’t tell you. Lu Jianzhi and I did have a relationship in the past. But after marrying you, I regarded him as a brother.”

“Lang Jun, do you believe me?”

Li Mu raised his head from her chest and looked at her under him. The passion that appeared in his eyes a moment ago slowly subsided.

He slowly rolled over from her and said in a muffled voice, “I believe it.”

Luoshen bit his lips tightly, looked at the top of the tent, and said, “Then do you have anything else to say to me?”

Li Mu was silent for a moment, then said: “I have sold the piano score. You don’t have to worry, no one will know about it in the future.”

Luo Shen also fell silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, “Thank you very much this time, for keeping my reputation for me.”

Li Mu seemed to have fallen asleep. After a long time, he slowly stretched out his arms, took her back into his arms, patted her back in a soothing way, and said softly, “It’s over, you don’t have to think about it anymore. Go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow.”

Luoshen hummed, dazed for a moment, and closed his eyes.

…

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, in order to avoid attracting everyone to send him off, Li Mu deliberately got up early with Luoshen, said goodbye to the Lu family, and prepared to leave Jingkou for Yicheng.

It is still along the river to the west, and first take a section of the waterway. Unexpectedly, on the way to the ferry, only halfway through, Jingkou Ling still caught up with something.

The kindness was difficult to accept, and Li Mu had to stop.

Through the curtain of the car, Luoshen greeted Jing password and said, “You two talk slowly. I’ll go first.”

Li Mu only said that she was impatient and waited, but he didn’t care, so he asked Fan Cheng to send Luoshen and his party to board the boat first, and wait for him to pass.

That Jingkouling was a man of many words, with good etiquette. He held Li Mu and kept talking, and finally drank three glasses of farewell wine before finally letting him go.

Li Mu remembered that Luoshen said goodbye to his mother and A Ting this morning. After leaving, he didn’t talk to himself on the way. He seemed to be in a low mood. He was afraid that she would have to wait for a long time.

When he arrived in a hurry, he was surprised to find that the boat was gone, and Luoshen and her people were all gone, leaving only a few boxes with their own clothes and sundries left on the shore, with a squatting beside him watching. follower of things.

Li Mu was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, ran over, and asked, “Where’s Madam?”

Seeing him coming, the entourage hurriedly stood up from the ground and said with a sad face: “The madam said that she will not go with Li Langjun, you go to Yicheng, and told you to go by yourself, she returned to Jiankang. She has already called someone to sail and left. !”

Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat, and immediately flew to the ferry port, standing by the river, looking east.

But seeing the river flowing, rushing forward, and flowing with the wind, I saw a vast expanse in front of me, where can I still see half of the shadow of the boat?
