Lamp Flower Smile

The setting sun shines through the clouds, and the windows are bright with red shadows.

Lu Zhuo's steps slowed down and he raised his eyes to look at the people around him.

The setting sun gradually sets behind him, and the long afterglow outlines the young man's figure in a softer shadow. His black gold embroidered cloud-patterned brocade clothes glow with a layer of light gold under the setting sun, which is very moving.

Lu Chen was slightly stunned.

She didn't expect that Pei Yunying would still remember her casual perfunctory words.

It was the same in Mangming Township. When she saw the yellow dog, he stood beside her. She had seen the black dog in front of the palace before. It was a beautiful and agile hunting dog.

Did he really think he was afraid of dogs?

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Pei Yunying lowered her head and asked, "What?"

Lu Yan shook off his strange thoughts: "It's nothing."

The two walked side by side, casting long shadows on the path in the setting sun, as if they were blending into the golden-red sunset.

Pei Yunying's smiling voice came from beside him: "Doctor Lu helped me find the prescription. What kind of thank-you gift should I give you?"

Lu Yan said: "It's a deal, Lord Pei, don't take it to heart."

"Really?" He said casually: "Then what do you say to Golden Butterfly?"

Lu Tong was startled.

On New Year's Eve, Pei Yunying gave her a pair of golden butterflies. The jewelry was expensive, and it was difficult to accept gifts here, so Lu Zhu took advantage of the break to see the jewels and sent the golden butterflies back tactfully.

"How can there be any reason to take back something that has been sent out?" Pei Yunying said leisurely: "Doctor Lu is very rude."

It is indeed not the behavior of a polite family to return gifts given by others. Even if it was given to the Lu family back then, they would have been taught a lesson by their parents.

But who could let him have no sense of propriety and send such a precious gift, which is worth sitting in Renxin Medical Center for many years.

Lu Chen pursed his lips: "I don't like Vadie."

He asked: "What do you like?"

Lu Chen suddenly became impatient.

She doesn't like to owe favors to others, and she doesn't like to be owed favors by others, especially her relationship with Pei Yunying. In such a complicated situation, it's unclear what the future will be like. She hoped that all their interactions would be clear and transparent transactions, and that her intentions would be expressed clearly, but this person always did.

It is difficult to grasp the distance well, and the sense of proportion is chaotic.

I can't figure it out no matter how hard I count.

She simply looked at the other person and said bluntly: "I like Master Pei's sachet recipe. Can you give it to me?"

Pei Yunying was stunned.

He lowered his head and his eyes fell on Lu Yan's face, with a strange look on his face.

Lu Chen looked at him calmly.

The sachet prescription looked so valuable that he didn't let go of it the last time he was in the carriage. But Lu Yan was still puzzled. She just wanted the recipe for the sachet, not for him to make an identical sachet. Even though the incense materials were expensive, he didn't need to come up with them, so why bother looking so embarrassed.

"Master Pei knows that I am in the medical hospital now and have no need for silver or jewelry." Lu said: "If you insist on thanking me, you might as well give me the sachet recipe. This is what I want." of."

He was so reluctant to give up, the more doubtful Lu Chen became, and the more doubtful he became, the more he wanted.

It is human nature to ask for something but not get it.

He stared at Lu Zong for a while, then looked away and said calmly: "This won't work."

Went straight ahead.

really.

Lu Chen looked at his back and suddenly had a guess in his mind. Maybe he thought wrongly. Pei Yunying didn't seem to be a stingy person. He was usually very generous with his gifts. But he took such good care of this sachet. Could it be that the prescription for the incense medicine was From someone important to him?

Friendship is always more precious than money.

Thinking about this, Pei Yunying had already reached the gate of the Palace Commander's Mansion. Further on, the carriage returning to the Medical Officer's Court was waiting at the corner of the street.

Pei Yunying handed her the medical box and said, "Be careful on the road."

Lu Zhuo took the medical box, said yes, and walked to the carriage across the street. Just as he crossed the street, he saw a familiar person standing at the door of a dyeing shop in the alley not far ahead, under the red roof beam.

The young man was wearing a fragrant round-neck gown, holding something in his hand that he didn't know was a food box or something. He was slightly slender and stood in front of the dyeing workshop, looking around.

Lu Zhuo's steps suddenly stopped.

It was the young master from the palace of Taifu Temple, Dong Lin.

In front of the dyeing workshop, Dong Lin also saw Lu Yun, and his face suddenly became happy.

He came here specifically to look for Lu Yan.

Ever since Mrs. Dong sent Mrs. Wang to cause a big fuss at Renxin Medical Center, causing public discord, Taifu Temple Minister no longer had any contact with Renxin Medical Center.

Dong Lin was angry and anxious in his heart. He was angry because his mother insisted on destroying his relationship with Lu Zhen despite his objections. What he was anxious about was that if Lu Zhen was humiliated, he would leave Renxin Medical Center in a rage. What to do if you get married? It will always be difficult for a young woman whose reputation has been humiliated to live on.

But Lu Zhu didn't.

Not only did she not become depressed or depressed because of this, she even took the first place on the red list in the spring examination and successfully entered the Imperial Medical College, which shocked the entire Shengjing Medical Clinic.

Dong Lin was ashamed and admired at the same time.

What's shameful is that this embarrassing situation was caused by him, but he didn't have any good way to help Lu Chen, and he was even detained in the house by his mother. What I admire is that even if there is no one to help and the road ahead is bleak, Lu Yan can still find his own way on his own.

After Lu Zhu entered the medical hospital, Mrs. Dong no longer restrained him. However, since Lu Zhu was not in Renxin Medical Center, it was much more difficult to see her from the medical hospital.

Dong Lin once asked someone to send a message to Lu Yu, hoping that Lu Yu could come out to get together, resolve the misunderstanding in person, and apologize to her. But Lu Chen politely declined every time, saying that it was inconvenient to meet him because he was working in the medical hospital.

It was the same today. When he arrived at the Medical Officer's Hospital, he heard from the people at the Medical Officer's Court that Lu Huan had gone to treat the guards of the Palace Commander's Mansion in Beijing, so he waited at the door of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

Waiting left and right, until dusk fell, Dong Lin finally saw the person he had longed for. Dong Lin couldn't help but feel excited, and he hesitated to step forward. But he saw that the man suddenly stopped moving.

Lu Zhuo stopped.

She didn't expect to meet Dong Lin here.

This Young Master Dong's intention is too obvious.

In order to take advantage of the relationship between Taifu Temple Minister and Mrs. Dong, I allowed Dong Lin to express his favor towards me. But now Mrs. Dong was already angry with her for instigating the relationship between mother and son. If she continued to entangle them, it would only be harmful rather than beneficial.

She had rejected Dong Lin's invitation several times, expressing her rejection tactfully both in words and in words. However, this young master Dong was particularly persistent.

It's not a good thing to be dragging your feet, but you should let him retreat before the difficulties...

Lu Zhuo's eyes moved, he slowly took two steps back, then suddenly turned around and ran back quickly in the direction of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

Dong Lin was anxious and quickly followed.

In the small courtyard at the entrance of the Palace Commander's Mansion, Pei Yunying was still standing.

The setting sun is shining slantingly, and the breeze is gradually rising. The young man stood under the sycamore tree at the entrance of the Palace Commander's Mansion, not knowing what he was thinking. The warm afterglow fell on him. He turned around and was about to walk towards the house when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Pei Yunying raised his eyes and saw Lu Zhuo trotting towards him.

She is always calm and gentle, like a gurgling underground river, with invisible turbulence hidden under the calm water.

However, it was very urgent at this moment.

The frozen stream was also unsealed, and the flowing stream became more and more dazzling in the afterglow. It jumped into his eyes with joy and vivid roar, as if it was about to crash into his arms at the next moment.

Pei Yunying was stunned for a moment, but the woman had already rushed forward. Just when she was about to reach him, her feet suddenly stumbled, as if she were stepping on a stone. He subconsciously reached out to help her, and the other woman grabbed his arm firmly. Jumped into his arms.

Caught off guard, he hugged the other person into his arms.

Time seems to stand still here.

The golden afterglow became more brilliant.

The spring flowers in front of the court have dimmed.

The sky is getting dusk, the sun is getting dusk, and the clouds are getting dusk. In the setting sun all over the ground, the last trace of the setting sun has become gentle, flowing through the dependent people in the courtyard.

The hand of the man in his arms was holding his sleeve tightly, like a drowning man clinging to the driftwood. His posture was soft but strange. He was slightly startled when he noticed something, and his eyes swept past the courtyard door behind him.

Not far from the gate of the courtyard, stood a man wearing fragrant robes. The young master of Taifu Temple was holding a food box and stood there blankly, looking at the two of them with eyes full of disbelief. Falling in this lonely dusk, he looked a bit lonely and pitiful.

Pei Yunying's eyes moved slightly and he lowered his eyebrows.

She still lowered her head, as if curled up in his arms. Her thin and frail body was reminiscent of the thin wings of a butterfly, which seemed to be easily torn to pieces.

Poorly weak.

He put one hand around her waist, which was a subconscious protection when she rushed over, and the other hand...

After a moment's hesitation, he extended his other hand.

That hand was slender and white, slowly and gently reaching for the back of the person in his arms.

It is a gesture of embracing the other person.

The evening breeze was cool and gently blew through the grass in the courtyard.

The hand finally failed to fall.

He only circled around behind him, restrainedly leaving a little unreachable distance.

The fragrance of spring flowers in front of the court actually feels a little bitter at dusk, and the shadows of close people falling on the ground are also intimate.

Lu Zhu calculated the time and estimated that Dong Lin had seen everything he should and shouldn't see. He just raised his head, and when he looked up, he met a pair of dark eyes.

Pei Yunying is very handsome.

Although he seems to be kind and gentle, he has a natural sense of alienation that makes people afraid to approach him.

However, at this moment, he just lowered his eyes and looked at her, her reflection reflected in his dark eyes.

There was only a little afterglow left by the setting sun. When it was illuminated from behind, the reflection was like the moon on a silver pond that suddenly dispersed and turned into bright stars. It also seemed that there were some more emotions that she couldn't understand, and something deeper emerged from the bottom of his eyes. , the entanglement cannot be seen clearly.

She was very close to him.

It was more intimate than the accidental touch when the carriage was rocking last time. The cold clothes seemed to bring warmth to the embrace, and the faint scent of blue musk came faintly, like a seductive taboo, and unconsciously gave birth to a few traces of it. Undue thoughts.

Lu Chen was in a daze for a moment.

His eyes lightly glanced not far behind her, then he helped her stand up, smiled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhuo turned around, and outside the courtyard gate, Dong Lin's escaping figure suddenly passed by.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the person in front of her.

Pei Yunying stood in front of her with an innocent expression. He was neither surprised by her sudden behavior when she just rushed back, nor did he ask any other questions.

The reaction was dull and different from what she expected.

Lu Yan was a little undecided as to whether he had seen Dong Lin.

If he had seen it, he would have known why he was so calm because of his deliberate move. But if he hadn't seen it, with Pei Yunying's temperament, he would have teased her a few times about "fiancé".

After all, even she herself felt that she was just being pretentious.

What's more, this man is very smart.

However, now that the goal has been achieved, even if Pei Yunying didn't say anything, Lu Zhuo would never find any reason to embarrass himself. Anyway, the young master of the Dong family seems to be a crybaby. Since Mrs. Dong originally thought that she and Pei Yunying had something to do with each other, deepening this misunderstanding would at least eliminate Mr. Dong's obsession in the future.

Lu Zhuo took a step back, put the strap of the medical kit back on his shoulders, and said, "It's nothing."

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and added: "No need for Golden Butterfly, this is a thank you gift."

Pei Yunying looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

Lu Zhen felt relieved and said, "I'll leave first."

"I'll give it to you." He interrupted her.

This time Lu Zhuo did not refuse.

If Dong Lin saw Pei Yunying behaving intimately with her, her thoughts would become clearer. Pei Yunying's move was exactly what she wanted. Fortunately, when they went out this time, perhaps Master Dong was too sad and left first. Until Lu Zhu got on the carriage, he did not see Master Dong.

Pei Yunying stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting for Lu Zhuo's carriage to drive away. The smile on his lips gradually faded. He stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, then turned and walked in the direction of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

He walked slowly and looked quiet, as if he was thinking about something. The last rays of the setting sun in the distance had already set, and the courtyard lost its warm light and became deserted for a moment.

After entering the small courtyard of the camp, Pei Yunying was startled when he saw a man leaning against a sycamore tree from a distance.

Xiao Zhufeng stood under the tree with a cold expression. He didn't know when he came and how much he had seen just now.

"When did you come back?" He stepped forward with a smile.

Xiao Zhufeng said nothing, and waited until the other party approached and almost passed by, then he spoke meaningfully: "I want to pick up something, and I need someone to remove the obstacles on the way for me."

Pei Yunying: "..."

This is what he said not long ago, when Xiao Zhufeng asked him why he always defended Lu Zhuo, and he responded like this.

"That's great," Xiao Zhufeng glanced at him, his tone indescribable, "You have removed another 'obstacle' on the road for her."

"..."

"It's inexplicable." Pei Yunying muttered, and waved his hand lazily, "If you want to bask in the moonlight, I'm going in." He walked into the camp.

Xiao Zhufeng stood still.

The sky was completely dark, but there was no moon tonight. The wind was blowing in the yard, and a leaf fluttered down from the sycamore tree and landed in his hand.

The leaves were half green and half yellow, but the color in the middle was not clear. Chaos couldn't see clearly. He lowered his head and looked for a moment, then loosened his hand and the leaves slowly fell, sinking into the earth like a withered butterfly.

The man stood up straight and left.
