Chapter 317
After Lu Wenjing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she said, "There are so many delicious things in the world, how can you not eat them just for the sake of a hibiscus chestnut cake?"
Absolutely not!
"So, Sister Ying, I think you should be more open-minded. I still think there are many people in this world who are better than my cousin."
"What's more, I have always felt that my cousin probably has someone he likes..."
Although He Yanxiu didn't say it explicitly, Lu Wenjing felt that based on the observation of his wise eyes, He Yanxiu's attitude towards Miss Su, oh no, he is now the Lord of Ping'an County, is absolutely extraordinary!
It's definitely not just as simple as taking care of the daughter of an old friend.
Even if it is to take care of Lord Ping An, it is normal for this person to fall in love over time.
Anyway, Lu Wenjing felt that these two people would get together sooner or later.
Her intuition is unmistakable!
To be honest, she was actually looking forward to it...
After all, if Mr. Ping'an County really marries He Yanxiu and becomes her cousin-in-law, then if he wants to eat delicious food in the future, he doesn't have to put in so much effort. He just needs to go to He's house more often.
Just fine.
Simply perfect!
Yan Siying, "..."
Are you really here to persuade me?
Why do I feel like you are stabbing me twice?
Tears almost burst out of her eyes, and Yan Siying choked up as she spoke, "Sure enough, Mr. He already has someone he likes?"
"Probably..." Lu Wenjing hesitated, "About, maybe."
Yan Siying was stunned for a while, lowered her eyes, and tried her best to push back the tears, "As expected, it's no wonder Master He doesn't like me. It's because he has a sweetheart."
"Looking carefully, I have secretly expressed my love for Mr. He when I was young and ignorant, and I still haven't changed my original intention. It's a pity that Mr. He doesn't know my sincerity..."
After feeling secretly distressed for a long time, Yan Siying looked at Lu Wenjing and said, "Jing'er, can you do me a favor?"
"What are you busy with?" Lu Wenjing asked.
"Can you help me invite Mr. He to the pavilion over there? I have something to say to Mr. He." Yan Siying said with red eyes.
"This..." Lu Wenjing hesitated, "It's not quite appropriate."
Although today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the banquet is held in the imperial garden, and Mrs. Gaoming, the daughter of the rich, and the courtiers are all present. However, the banquet is also separated by a flower gallery, and it still pays attention to the protection of men and women.
Although the pavilion over there is far away from the female family members and is not a place for courtiers to play, it is not suitable for He Yanxiu and Yan Siying to be alone together.
Although Lu Wenjing was born as a military general and was not as particular about etiquette as civil servants, she still felt that this was a bit inappropriate.
"As long as you go with me, I won't have any other thoughts. I will only tell Mr. He what I think. If Mr. He is moved by me, then you have created a good relationship. If Mr. He doesn't take me to heart,
Come on, I’ve given up on this idea too.”
Yan Siying looked at her affectionately, and her words were a bit sad, "At least I have to let Mr. He know my thoughts. Even if he really has no intention of me, I will obey my father's words and marry the Prince Pingnan, and I will still be willing to do so."
"The maids will also follow you by then. If others ask, you just say that you have something to ask your cousin, and I am just accompanying you. It doesn't break the rules."
Lu Wenjing was a little moved when she heard the words.
It's just a sentence or two, it's really not that big of a deal.
And as Yan Siying said, she was also present, so she was not alone. The pavilion was not remote, not far from anywhere, and it was in full view of everyone, so it was not out of order.
Furthermore, she and Yan Siying can be regarded as handkerchiefs, and their friendship has lasted for many years...
After all, I have to let her have her last thoughts.
After Lu Wenjing thought for a while, she nodded, "Okay then, I will pass this message on behalf of Sister Ying. However, my cousin has always had a good temperament. If he refuses to come, then there is nothing I can do."
"Sister Jing'er, just go and send a message. Master He is kind-hearted and he will probably come." Yan Siying's heart lightened, but her face still showed the same sorrow as before, "Even if he doesn't come...that's all, I just hope he comes.
"
Even if she doesn't come, she still has other options.
The fingers inside the sleeves were clenched together, kneading the handkerchief until it looked awkward.
Seeing this, Lu Wenjing sighed one after another in her heart.
Sister Ying is really too infatuated.
It’s really too hard to think about…
Lu Wenjing stood up, "Sister Ying, go and wait over there first, I'll go right away."
"Thank you Jing'er." Yan Siying gave Lu Wenjing a blessing. When she saw Lu Wenjing leaving in a hurry, she took her maid to the pavilion by the water.
This pavilion is said to be built on the edge of Yuhu Lake. In fact, the pavilion extends inward and is actually built on the lake. It is supported by stone pillars and connected to the shore by a long corridor. It is most suitable for enjoying lotus and fish on weekdays.
It was early winter at this time, and all the remaining loads on the lake had disappeared. Even the fish rarely appeared. It was also prone to wind and cold on the lake, so no one went to the pavilion.
Because of this, although the pavilion had been cleaned, there were no cushions, tea, cakes, etc. The palace maid saw that Yan Siying was leading people there, so she went to spread some soft cushions.
"No need to bother you, I just walked here to take a look at the lake and water, and left after a while." Yan Siying declined politely.
During the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, there were many things to be busy with in the imperial garden, and the guests were all of high status, so the maids could not do everything. Seeing Yan Siying like this, she took her things and left.
Yan Siying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw everyone had gone away. When she looked around and saw that no one had noticed, she put her hand on the railing of the pavilion.
The railings are already showing signs of loosening. If someone tries to lean on them with great force, they will definitely fall into the lake due to the broken railings.
And this is exactly the result she wants.
It can be said that everything is ready at this time, all that is left is He Yanxiu.
Yan Siying gritted her teeth and kept looking into the distance, hoping to see He Yanxiu's figure.
Here, Lu Wenjing found He Yanxiu all the way and told He Yanxiu exactly what Yan Siying said.
"Cousin, don't blame me for turning my elbows outward and helping others." Lu Wenjing pouted and said, "Sister Ying is my best friend. Now that she has spoken, I really have no reason to refuse. I can only come and ask for help."
Brother, I have done my duty."
"If my cousin doesn't want to go, I can just refuse, or send someone to reply, or I can refuse directly. I don't want to make it difficult for my cousin."
"I understand what you mean. Miss Yan is so devoted to me, which is touching."
It's even more frightening.
