Chapter 20: Companionship
Yuan Diyi changed her clothes and walked into the hall, she said to Ping Le, "Don't you care about it, I heard that Lu Meng has lost weight because of a big patient, I think it's because I'm in shock." You even swore a poisonous oath for this Jinlan sister, such a singing and crying friendship, even I was so moved that I almost cried. ”
Lu Menglian's disappearance has not been announced, the attitude of the Lu family is a little strange, if it was because Lu Menglian's life was in danger and didn't want to make a big fuss, then now that people have come back safely, they should be able to search for gangsters. But Mu Sheng told her that the Lu Mansion hoped that the matter would end here, and the Lu Mansion said that since Lu Menglian was safe and sound, he didn't want the government to interfere anymore for the sake of the girl's reputation.
Pingle rolled her eyes, can't this woman speak without thorns, she remembered Mrs. Lu's hurtful words that day, and said stiffly, "If you still ask what to do, they may not be rare." ”
Yuan Diyi lifted the crystal curtain, piled up a smiling face, and let Pingle sit aside, there are outsiders, she always acts well for her, and she can't be better and meticulous. Emperor Yuan said, "Lord Lu, are you here to find Mu Sheng? Coincidentally, he has just returned to the Yamen to handle official business. Lu Cunxi got up and asked the little servant to give the gift, and Emperor Yuan said, "Why are you so polite." ”
Lu Cunxi said, "Sister Ling's matter is thanks to Lord Yuan, and a little caution is not respectful." ”
"Mu Sheng is the Yin of the house, and Miss Lu's business is originally his duty and responsibility. The so-called reactive power is not punished, Lord Lu should take the things back. "It is estimated that he will not send some gold, silver and jewelry, and Mu Sheng is not good at this, it can only be some medicinal materials to replenish the body.
Lu Cunxi said, "It's just a small gift, and I asked the girl to accept it on my behalf." ”
"Since Lord Lu insisted, it could only be disrespectful. She asked Bai Xue to fetch Ganoderma lucidum and wanted to return the gift, Lu Cunxi was reluctant to accept it, and Emperor Yuan said, "Since Mu Sheng took office, he has been honest and an official, and he is timid, so small that he doesn't dare to accept an egg." This time I took it upon myself to take it upon myself, and he didn't know if he would lose his temper with me when he came back, I gave it back to Lord Lu, and the exchange of gifts was in line with the number of courtesies, even if it was known by others, it would not leave any handle, which hurt the reputation of Mu Sheng and Lord Lu. ”
Lu Cunxi said, "The girl is really thoughtful. He asked the servant to pick it up. "Actually, there is a reluctant invitation to come this time. ”
"Lord and Mu Sheng are both officials in the same dynasty, Mu Sheng is so stupid, he may not need Lord Lu's help in the future, why be so polite, just say it directly. ”
Pingle listened, only to feel that she was so fake that she was about to vomit even for breakfast. Pingle sat upright, she didn't have anything to do anyway, she just picked up the dim sum on the table and kept eating, I hadn't eaten such a delicious dim sum for a long time. If you don't eat a bite, you have to cherish it, chew it several times, and taste it before swallowing it.
Lu Cunxi said, "Menglian is too frightened, and people who can't eat are also drowsy, I want to ask Miss Pingle to accompany her in Lu Mansion for a few days." ”
Pingle thought about it, put the dim sum in his hand on the plate, and suddenly lost his taste, "She has so many friends, you can go and ask other famous ladies to accompany her." Besides, I'm not a doctor who can't treat the disease, so if she's not feeling well, you might as well find a doctor for her. ”
Lu Cunxi said apologetically, "I know that my mother's words were a little rude before, and this time I also came to apologize." Whether she is willing to go or not naturally depends on the girl's intentions, but if Miss Pingle is willing to ignore the past, the Lu family will definitely treat Miss Pingle as a guest in the future. ”
Yuan Diyi said with a smile, "Pingle, be big-minded and open-minded, Lord Feng should have also taught you to repay grievances with virtue, Lord Lu has a high position and power and bows his head to you as a little woman, so you don't have to shirk again and again." ”
Pingle pursed his lips, anyone can say this, Biyuan Diyi said that she really wanted to shiver, this woman is simply a small-bellied chicken intestine, and she still wants to teach her what it means to be open-minded. Pingle thought for a moment and said, "Okay. ”
Lu Cunxi sat down for a while and then got up and said that he was going to leave, Yuan Diyi asked people to call Jing Tao to follow Ping Le to Lu Mansion, Ping Le was surprised, "Are you really willing to let Jing Tao follow me." ”
Yuan Diyi helped her support the hairpin, "Jing Tao was originally your maid, naturally she will go wherever you go." ”
Emperor Yuan sent them out of the house, and Lu Cunxi said, "I heard that Lord Yuan said that he saw Meng Lian at the back door of the yamen, I wonder if he mentioned it to the girl?"
"There is a point mentioned, but I may not be able to understand how much the short-sighted woman says, so Mu Sheng didn't say it in detail. Lord Lu is afraid that my mouth is not strict? I also understand the importance of honor, and I won't talk too much. ”
The little guy who guarded the door led Hu Da and Li Er in, and they happened to meet.
Hu Da and Li Er saw her this time because they remembered the rules set by the owner of the village when they were in the cottage, and seeing the young lady was like seeing the owner of the village, and they wanted to greet her respectfully, so they shouted loudly like thunder, "Hello Miss." ”
Pingle and Jingtao were frightened by the fierce looks of the two of them and hid behind Yuan Diyi.
Yuan Diyi didn't expect Hu Da Li Er to come so early, and thought that she would be drunk and dreaming of death, and she would find someone to pull the two of them. These two people only have developed limbs, and if Lu Cunxi asks a few words, he will immediately show his feet. She covered her nose and said, "Where did you two just go, you all smell weird, and you are not afraid of being rude to my guests, and you don't go to change your clothes." ”
The little servant led the two of them down, and Lu Cunxi looked back at the tiger's back and bear waist of the two of them, "These two are girls?"
Yuan Diyi shook the incense fan and said, "Distant relatives, come to the emperor to get an errand, people can't forget the fundamentals, since they can help, they will help." ”
Lu Cunxi thought thoughtfully, "They are not like the Southern Barbarians. ”
"My ancestor is from the imperial capital, so I have relatives here, but I haven't been in touch for a long time. Yuan Diyi sent them out of the gate, and watched Lu Cunxi and Pingle get into the carriage, and then turned back to the house.
She asked the maid to prepare the wine and food, Hu Da Li Er changed his clothes and sat down in the hall, raised one leg and stepped on the chair next to him, and then drank wine and ate meat.
Yuan Diyi asked, "Who asked you to arrest Lu Menglian?"
Li Erdao, "There are two people who trade with us, one is an old man, only as tall as my chest, a little hunchbacked, with a mole on his forehead, and the other is as thin as a monkey, more than forty." He first gave a deposit of 200 taels of silver, and said that he would give 500 taels after the matter was completed. ”
Hu Da respectfully poured wine for Yuan Diyi, the cup was gone, and it was filled in a bowl, Yuan Diyi asked again, "What are you going to do with arresting people?"
Hu Dadao, "I didn't ask about this, people will pay for the money, and we will do things." Let's not hurt that girl...... Ah, one time when they were gone, I heard them muttering, as if they were going to change leaves or something, and I couldn't hear them clearly. ”
