69. Doubts

Cui Ke was stunned for a moment when he was asked, his mind turned quickly, and he nodded and replied, "Yes, Fourth Master Wisdom!" It's that Zhao in charge. It's also a coincidence, that day, the little guy of the Zhou family was probably desperate and hungry and dizzy, mixed with the victims outside the city, and wanted to steal things. ”

"It's just so impartial, just in time for you to open the court to try Zhou Zhijian?" The fourth prince raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, took a step forward with a stiff face, paused again, turned to point at Cui Ke, and asked with a solemn face, "That Zhao-"

"Zhao Xiaosi!" Master Liu followed behind step by step, looking at the faces of Cui Ke and the four princes, and hurriedly responded.

The fourth prince snorted, frowned and groaned for a moment, his face was cloudy, and it took a long time to swallow back the previous words with a tense face, and asked again: "What is the origin of that Zhao Xiaosi?" Have been working in the Lu family? ”

Today at the mouth of the alley, listening to the replies of the two people, Zhao Xiaosi obviously listened to the instructions of the girl of the Lu family, and listened to what Wei Mingze said just now, this person is clearly acting like a stock market well, not like the manager of the Lu family, but like the girl's henchman! On the other hand, the other person's words and actions are a bit like the Lu family's stewards! Zhou Guangye's bedridden this time is inseparable from this girl, and Zhou Zhijian's matter last time has something to do with the people under this girl's hands - could it be that she is a little girl who has the ability to calculate the Zhou family?

As soon as this idea came up, the fourth prince himself felt ridiculous, and as soon as Master Liu answered, the question that originally came to his lips turned around. This thing is strange before and after, if he hadn't paid attention to it at this time, I'm afraid that he wouldn't have thought of a little girl at all! You have to investigate, but you can't let Cui Ke investigate, he doesn't have the courage to investigate, this matter has to be done secretly!

The girl was soft and weak, and she spoke in a good tone...... Thinking of the face that he had just glimpsed at at the entrance of the alley, through the half-hidden car curtain, the fourth prince's hand holding the fan tightened slightly, and he only felt incomprehensible, just such a little girl who fell down as soon as the wind blew, Wei Jian could also see it?

Unexpectedly, Lu Wan's eyebrows and eyes that smiled lightly when he nodded at Zhao Xiaosi's order, and the fourth prince gambled in his chest for no reason, and snorted with a sneer. It seems that the little battle in the government didn't bluff that girl at all! Just the old woman on the street today, that girl is afraid that she won't see it at all!

The saint scolded him that day for not being as good as this little girl, he really wanted to see what kind of skills this little girl had!

Master Liu took Cui Ke's eyes, and was about to answer, but he caught a glimpse of the four princes who seemed to be thinking about things, his face changed, he looked like he was angry, hesitated for a moment, followed in fear, and glimpsed the four princes frowning and looking at Cui Ke, Fang took half a step forward, fell behind Cui Ke, bowed and replied: "Back to the fourth master's words, that Zhao Xiaosi knows it down, their family was originally open-toothed, and his old son and mother have been doing the work of pulling fiber and protecting the media all his life, and the first plague has died. Zhao Xiaosi has also been in various dental shops for a few years, and many people are looking for him because of his lively mind and reliable work. After the head was drunk and made trouble, he was sued to the palace, the predecessor Jingzhao Yin Li beat him 20 boards, he lay at home for half a year, and after the injury was healed, he was messing around the capital, and I don't know when he was favored by the people of the Lu family, and went to the Lu family to be a steward. ”

The fourth prince listened to Master Liu's words without saying a word, his face became darker and darker, and it took a long time before he sneered, "Okay!" Fabulous! "It's such a ruffian, that girl dares to use it! Looks like she's pretty handy! Things gather people in groups, since Zhao Xiaosi is willing to follow her, that girl is afraid that she will not be much better!

He was still suspicious of Zhou Guangye's affairs before, but now he is eight points sure, Zhou Guangye's serious illness must have something to do with that girl! The medical officers who went to Zhou's house in the Tai Hospital were helpless, but the statement was similar, Zhou Guangye was poisoned, or a strange poison, which would not kill people in a short period of time, but it could make people's skin slowly festering and grow maggots! Like termites devouring the heart, but the consciousness is still very sober, but they can't move, they can't shout, they can only stand by each other. Such a disgusting and strange poison can only be found by those scoundrels in the market!

When Master Liu saw the face of the fourth prince, his heart jumped suddenly, and he was a little unclear, so he quietly exchanged glances with Cui Ke, and finished his words in shock, bowing very low, just waiting for the fourth prince to speak.

Wei Mingze, who was walking at the end, listened to the words of a few people in a fog, and he was even more confused, and he didn't understand why the fourth prince suddenly cared about a small steward today.

The fourth prince sneered and said two "yes" in succession, took a breath, suppressed his inexplicable anger and entered the main room in the backyard, waved his hand at Cui Ke, and looked at Master Liu and Wei Mingze with a strained face.

Master Liu understood, hurriedly bowed to say goodbye, withdrew two steps, and caught a glimpse of Wei Mingze excitedly going inside, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Wei Mingzedi, and smiled politely: "Ouch, Wei Sanye, I got a jar of good tea in front of me, and I was about to invite the third master to taste it, but it happened that the third master is here today, take a walk-I'll make tea for the third master?" ”

As soon as Wei Mingze heard this, he looked at the dark face of the fourth prince, suddenly reacted, hurriedly agreed, and made a gesture to Master Liu, and the two walked out of the second door together.

Cui Ke originally had some guesses in his heart, expecting that the fourth prince had something to tell him, but now he was interrupted by Zhao Xiaosi, and when he looked at the face of the fourth prince again, he suddenly felt a little bottomless, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and pour tea for the fourth prince himself.

The fourth prince's face was still a little unsightly, and he blocked the teacup with a solemn face, "You should also understand what the saint said before, the saint wanted to recommend the candidate for the secretary of the military department, and the lord originally wanted to have someone recommend you, but the saint has been angry in the past few days, and he is afraid that it will be self-defeating to recommend him, so wait a little longer." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands, thank you for the fourth master......" Cui Ke hurriedly bowed to the four princes, and before he could say anything else, he saw the four princes stand up with a tense face.

"Okay, the master is here today to instruct you, you are busy, the master will delay your errand!"

After speaking, the fourth prince raised his feet and walked out of the backyard, there were still a few wisps of inexplicable anger on his face, only Cui Ke was confused, and he always felt that this master's behavior was a little unusual, but he couldn't taste any deep meaning, and it took a long time before he suddenly patted his head and came to his senses - that Lu Shangshu is now a capable official in the court, and he is deeply favored by the Holy Grace, and now he is married to the Pingnan Palace, which can be regarded as hot, plus the Lu family started late, not like other big families in the capital. It's an excellent object to woo, isn't it that the fourth master wants to rein in the Lu family?

******

When Lu Wan and his entourage returned to Lu's mansion, Lu Chenghui was explaining the Analects to Lu Xin in the study, and the chief steward Lai waited outside the study, glanced at Lu Wan, who was as usual with a pale face, and replied loudly: "Master, the girl is back." ”

The voice inside stopped, and after a while, I saw five-year-old Lu Xin running out, seeing Lu Wan, he hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, he unconsciously glanced inside, and shouted at the door, "Sister." ”

"Where did you learn?" Lu Wan nodded in response to Lu Xin's words, she didn't like Mrs. Wen San, and she didn't disdain to be too aggressive with Mrs. Wen San, she didn't have too much prejudice against this younger brother, but she wasn't very close. When Mrs. Wen San first entered the door, she was full of curiosity about this world, and she didn't have time to pay attention to her. Later, Lu Xin was born, and she pondered how to pass the time, such as doing some business, naturally she didn't have much heart to tease children, not to mention that Mrs. Wen San had always been wary of her, and she didn't bother to please that boring.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wen San only took Lu Xin with her for two years, and after Lu Xin said that she would leave, she was moved to the outer courtyard by her father, and she was taught by a teacher before she was three years old.

"The seventh chapter of the Analects ......" Lu Xin glanced at Lu Wan, with a little timidity and frustration in his expression, "Father said, let me carry it again tomorrow." ”

"Well, take your time, don't rush." Lu Wan sighed secretly, glanced into the study, reached out and patted Lu Xin's head, and motioned to Lu Zhi to take a small purse and hand it to Lu Xin, "Go back and play for a while." ”

Lu Xin hesitantly took the purse, said thank you with a red face, and said goodbye to Lu Wan, and then walked out of the study step by step, and the girl outside hurriedly curtled her knees with Lu Wan and followed Lu Xin out. It wasn't until he got out of the corridor that Lu Xin stopped, looked back at the pane of the study, looked up at the girl who accompanied him, and asked, "They said that my sister could memorize the books she read when she was a child, am I not as good as my sister?" Does my father dislike me? ”

"Who did the sixth master listen to when he said this?" Several girls glanced at each other, and the eldest girl Cuilian stepped forward and touched Lu Xin's forehead with a smile, and explained softly, "The girl hasn't read the Analects when she is as old as the sixth master." The old man asked the sixth master to endorse it for the good of the sixth master, how can there be a father who doesn't like his son? ”

Cuilian paused, noticed the flash of light in Lu Xin's eyes, sighed slightly in her heart, leaned down, and whispered to Lu Xin: "The sixth master and the girl looked really similar when they were children, and when the girl was as old as the sixth master, she was afraid of the dark, the cold and the living, and then she slowly got better." ”

"It turns out that my sister is also afraid of the dark?" Lu Xin blinked his eyes and listened to Cuilian's words in a daze, his face gradually lit up, his eyes were shining, he pulled Cuilian brightly, took out the purse given by Lu Wan from his arms, and instructed like a treasure, "This is what my sister gave me just now, you keep it for me." ”

Cuilian nodded with a smile, carefully collected the purse, and led Lu Xin to the outer courtyard. Behind the two, the little girl Hongxiu stared at Cuilian's back and pouted, sneered, and followed with a sneer.
