Chapter 737: Surprise
In the past two years, Lu Junqing's health has not been very good, after all, he is old and his energy is not crowded, so he lives in the suburbs to recuperate. But this time, the emperor invited him out again, he didn't like to take care of things, and the emperor was not in Beijing, so he was really worried about this time.
When Guo Wenying arrived at Lu's house, Lu Junqing happened to be absent, and he went on a business trip to the yamen.
Mrs. Lu asked a few officials and wives to play horse hanging together, and was touching cards in the flower hall, even eating and touching, and playing lively, when she suddenly heard a report from the next person that her niece was coming, and she didn't wonder for a while.
His mind flashed, and he asked, "How many nieces does our master have?"
Mrs. Li next to her laughed, "Yo, Sister Lu, this is a noble person, how many nieces are there in the mansion that I can't remember?"
"Don't. "Mrs. Lu is touching the cards in her hand, but her mind is constantly spinning, the grandmaster's niece?
I heard that someone said that it was a man and a horse, and she thought it was a cousin at first, and did the master have a niece who couldn't be beaten with eight poles?
Mrs. Huang said: "Speaking of Lord Lu's niece, it really belongs to the one in the palace, I heard that I was not in good health a while ago and went to the Beijing suburb hospital to recuperate, and I don't know if it is better." ”
Mrs. Lu's hands trembled suddenly, and the 90,000 yuan she touched fell on the table, and Mrs. Li was overjoyed, "There is a shortage of 90,000 yuan, this is coming, thirteen yuan, three yuan, and the penalty is double." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Lu suddenly jump up and rush out of the door quickly, and it was difficult for her to wrap her little feet, and she ran as fast as lightning.
The other three ladies in the room were stupid, and they didn't know what had happened to her suddenly.
Mrs. Li pouted, "Isn't it just a niece?
Mrs. Lu Yanghou was calmer and hurriedly stood up, "Let's go and take a look, but don't have anything wrong." ”
A few people stood up and walked out, and at this moment the gate exploded.
Guo Wenying waited at the door for a long time and didn't wait for someone to come out to invite her, in the past, as long as she reported inside, even if Lu Junqing was not there, Mrs. Lu would definitely come out to pick her up, what happened today?
Feng Yu'er was originally with her, but she felt that this girl was playing wild outside the palace, and she had to be sent back to the palace to train well, so she sent her back. Feng Yu'er refused to leave, crying all the way, and it took a lot of effort to coax her away.
In fact, it's not that Guo Wenying doesn't want to take her, it's just that she still has something to do, and it's really inconvenient to keep her daughter by her side.
Feng Yu'er is gone, but what's going on in the Lu Mansion? No one has come out after all this time. It's a little funny in my heart, is it possible that her niece will be devalued?
At this moment, suddenly a gust of wind rushed out of the house, and when she heard Mrs. Lu's voice, she shouted as she ran: "Open the middle door, open the middle door quickly." ”
Guo Wenying laughed out loud, it seems that her aunt is full of energy and in good physical condition.
Mrs. Lu rushed out of the house directly, and saw Guo Wenying riding on a horse, looking at her with a smile, but her feet slipped and she almost fell to the ground. She didn't think about saluting, and said directly: "Wen Ying, you're too scary, why did you come here?"
has been in the palace for a long time, and has seen a lot of hypocrisy, and when she first met her aunt who was straightforward, Guo Wenying felt very funny, but at the same time, there was a sense of warmth. Only an uncle and aunt would talk to her like that, she would always be just their niece in their eyes.
She turned over and jumped off the horse, shrunk to the side, and said in a stunned voice: "The middle door doesn't have to be opened, I can only stay for a day or two, it's better not to be quiet." ”
Someone brought her a horse, and she and Mrs. Lu entered the house one after the other.
Mrs. Lu looked at her and couldn't help but say, "Where have you been?"
"I went to Yunnan and just returned to Beijing. ”
Mrs. Lu said "oh", anyway, she is a god of doing things, and she is afraid that she is not going out of Beijing to recuperate, and her body and bones are fine, not like she has any serious illness at all. At this time, she put her mind upside down, as long as she is in good health, it doesn't matter what she does.
She thought for a moment and said, "Why did you come to the mansion today?
"Nature knows. Guo Wenying paused as she spoke, "I came to find my uncle today, is he there?"
"Your uncle went on a business trip, and he still has to take care of a lot of things in the court at this age, and he doesn't know when he will be the head, it's good if you come, hurry up and talk to the emperor, and spare him from his errand, the two of us still want to go back to our hometown to serve the old lady." ”
The two of them had already entered the second door while talking, and the three wives who were playing cards had just come out of it.
Although some of them have never spoken to Guo Wenying, as foreign women, they have more or less glanced at Guo Wenying from a distance. Seeing the queen mother arrive, they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The concubine is here to meet the queen mother." ”
Guo Wenying nodded casually, didn't look at them much, and walked in front of her.
The three of them looked at her back and smacked their tongues, and they all said in their hearts, no wonder Mrs. Lu ran so fast just now, it turned out that this master was really here. It's just that this is not a year, why did the queen's master come to the minister's mansion?
But everyone knows that this queen never plays cards according to the rules, and the emperor doesn't say anything, isn't it their turn to chew the root of their tongues? The three of them glanced at each other, kowtowed at the door and counted as resignation, and then walked away.
Guo Wenying and Mrs. Lu entered the flower hall, and the two talked for a while, her trip to Yunnan was private, and it was not appropriate, so she didn't mention it again. I only discussed some trivial matters with Mrs. Lu, especially Lu Junqing's condition, he was not in good health, and it was indeed not suitable to serve the imperial court anymore.
Since last year, Lu Mingyu has moved out of the house, and Lu Yiyu is not in the house, sometimes there is only Mrs. Lu alone in the huge mansion, no wonder she feels lonely, and sometimes she will invite some wives to come to the house to play cards, relieve loneliness, and pass the time.
The two talked for a while, and someone had already sent a letter to the yamen, and after less than half an hour, Lu Junqing came back.
He was still dressed in the official palace, and he bowed respectfully in the hall.
This is the rule, Guo Wenying didn't stop him, and when he finished worshipping, he let people help him up.
Lu Junqing went back to the room and changed into civilian clothes, and when he came back, he had changed his demeanor. Just now it was a national ceremony, but now it's a family ceremony.
He sat on the seat, and a maid brought tea, and he was also very thirsty, so he drank two sips before saying, "Niangniang, you are here at this time, but is there anything wrong?"
