In the courtyard, Lu Zhi asked Lu Wan curiously while cleaning up the teacup: "That shopkeeper Gu doesn't look like a person who can specialize." But the girl had clearly said before that this businessman has to be exquisite in all aspects, and he is all-encompassing. Why did the girl let the shopkeeper Gu go to Wudi to be the shopkeeper this time? ”

"Because what Wu Di needs now is someone who understands." Lu Wan lit the green branch's head, a smile flowed in his eyes, and his voice was slow and reasonable, with a bit of calmness, "As for whether it will be a franchise, that's second." At this time, it is better not to specialize. ”

Green Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, thought about it, and was just about to ask again, when he saw Yumo coming in from outside the courtyard, holding a wooden box in his hand, and stepped forward and replied: "Girl, just now a small servant at the door sent this box over, saying that it was sent by the shopkeeper Tan. ”

Lu Zhi looked at the box, a layer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly put down the teacup, and before Lu Wan opened the box, he leaned over and smiled: "Girl, let me guess - this must be the account book!" ”

Lu Wan glared at Lu Zhi amusedly, reached out to open the box, took out the booklet from it, flipped through it slightly, then closed the lid, motioned for Yumo to put it aside, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Lu Zhi guessed well, it is an account book - it was only copied in the past two days, and it took a lot of thought to come to the shopkeeper Tan." After that, he instructed Yumo, "Let people go outside to reply, and I will say that I have seen the contents of the box, thank you for your trouble." By the way, you pack a pack of old ginseng and ask the little guy to bring it back to Shopkeeper Tan. ”

Yumo hurriedly responded, put the box away, turned around and walked out of the house.

The corners of Lu Zhi's mouth pressed down to look at the mahogany box on the table, then looked at Yumo's back, looked at Lu Wan's face, and asked hesitantly: "The shopkeeper of Tan obviously sent the original account book to the eldest lady, how can the girl still ......?"

"Why are you so polite?" Lu Wan took the words of the green branch slowly and methodically, with a shallow smile on her face, she couldn't see that she was unhappy, her voice was soft and soft, with a bit of self-deprecation, "In their eyes, I just took advantage of my status, and I can neither promote nor make people rich." In their opinion, whether I can protect them as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet is a question, let alone let people get rich and enjoy happiness. So even if they were a little perfunctory, it was to be expected. Shopkeeper Tan can send this account book, most of it is still for the sake of the old man's face, and I naturally accept his affection. ”

"Yes...... You can't blame the girl! Green Branch pursed her lips, quite angry, "The eldest lady has never let the girl meddle in outside affairs all these years, where can you blame the girl for ignoring them?" If the shopkeepers are jealous of the eldest lady, it would be fine, but these people are more respectful to the three girls than to the girls, which is really infuriating! ”

"Why are you the same as that girl in Zhuqing?" Lu Wan knocked on the forehead of the green branch with a smile and anger, sighed, and taught earnestly, "It is natural for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places. The big house holds the messenger of their meal in his hand, and at the same time allows them to benefit, so people naturally have to rush to the knot. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even if people respect me in their faces, but we don't know what they think behind their backs. You remember, only when you stand firm and walk high, can people look up willingly and be convinced in their hearts. ”

Midoriwig took a breath and nodded heavily, his eyes full of admiration and pride. Their girls are good, and what they say is different from others, and everything can be said to people's hearts. Being able to follow the girl must be a blessing that she cultivated in her previous life.

However, the girl is rare to teach, and she is probably in a very good mood today, Lu Zhi thought, and hurriedly asked: "Then about Yue Xiuzhuang, the girl is planning to forget it like this?" ”

"Silly girl! I don't blame them for being inflammatory, but I can't allow them to bully us. Lu Wan chuckled out loud, lit the green branches, and smiled meaningfully, "What's more, it's not a big deal, it just depends on what they think." ”

As he was talking, Yumo had already turned back from the outer courtyard and replied to Lu Wan in a few words. Lu Wan stopped talking and nodded, wrapped in a cloak and walked back to the inner courtyard, while going to the carbon cage to bake the fire, while signaling the girls to set the meal.

Green Zhi got the order, hurriedly pulled Yumo out, lowered his voice and said what Lu Wan said just now, and asked Yumo inexplicably at the end: "It's rare that the girl is in a good mood today, and she taught me a few more words." But I didn't understand what Yue Xiuzhuang was thinking about. What do you mean by that? ”

Yumo listened to Lu Zhi's muttering amusedly, and after thinking about it, Fang explained in a low voice: "There's nothing I can't understand, our girl just wants those shopkeepers to make a statement." Look, isn't there a message coming today? ”

Green Zhi blinked his eyes and was stunned for a moment, finally turned the corner, and suddenly realized "hey", and then he was a little angry: "I'm not a good person to deliver the word at this time!" What did you do in the first place—according to your mind, could it be that our girls still need to use these people? ”

"You're so easy to fool us girls? If you want to get into the eyes of the girls, it depends on their ability! Yumo glanced at the green branch amusedly, and urged, "Okay, okay, go to the kitchen!" Miss Ming'er is going to the temple to offer incense, and the day after tomorrow will go to the family temple, but there is no idle work, we have to hurry up and prepare. ”

******

Early the next morning, Lu Wanchen got up at the end of the day, took the green branch and Yumo and the two mothers-in-law and a guard, took a carriage to the halfway up the mountain, and then got off the car and walked, stepping on the snow all the way to enjoy the scenery. It wasn't until three o'clock that the group arrived at the gate of the temple.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, I saw Master Guangji, the host of Kaiyuan Temple, walking out with a smile, bowing to several people, his eyes fell on Lu Wan gently, and while leading people to the temple, he smiled and said: "The girl hasn't been to the temple for half a year." ”

"Really." Lu Wan nodded with a smile, and explained in a serious tone, "The previous master was angry with me, and I don't want to come." Later, I guessed that the master's anger had subsided, but it was cold again. You also know that I am afraid of the cold and do not want to go out in winter. No, it's half a year younger! ”

Guangji listened to Lu Wan's explanation with a smile and a smile, this matter is about Uncle Silence, and he is not good at interjecting, and when Lu Wan finished complaining, Fang Hezhang recited Amitabha Buddha, changed the topic and smiled: "Yesterday, the girl sent someone over to pass the word, and the uncle instructed the girl to go directly to the backyard meditation room when she arrived in the temple." The poor monk thought that the girl would not go up the mountain until tomorrow, just like in previous years......"

Lu Wan had a trace of doubt in her heart, paused, looked at Guangji and asked with a smile: "Didn't the little master in Qian'er Temple make a special trip to the bottom of the mountain to ask?" I thought that I hadn't seen the master for half a year, so I simply went up the mountain a day early. Listening to you, could it be that you didn't ask the little master to ask? ”

Guangji was stunned for a moment by Lu Wan's question, then shook his head and smiled: "The poor monk never let people go to the bottom of the mountain to ask the girl. ”

Lu Wan's thoughts turned extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, she had a guess, her heart sank slightly, and she asked with a smile: "Who else is there in the temple today?" ”

Sensing the gloom in Lu Wan's tone, Guangji instantly guessed that something was wrong, and responded in a low voice: "Mrs. Wen of the Hou Mansion of Chongning is also here, and the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion is also with her. At this time, incense is being poured in the Guanyin Temple. ”

Lu Wan nodded with a sneer, and glanced at Yumo.

Yumo nodded silently, just turned around, and before he took two steps, he saw a middle-aged woman in her forties walking out of the main hall, calling a group of people across half the courtyard, bending her knees slightly at Lu Wan, and opened her mouth to say: "Our lady heard that the girl also came to the temple to offer incense, so I specially asked the girl to come over to talk." ”

Lu Wan didn't raise her eyelids, turned around and thanked Guangji, and walked towards the back of the Guanyin Hall with the two girls, as if she hadn't heard anyone speak at all.

The middle-aged grandmother stared at Lu Wan with a frown, her face was gloomy, she stepped forward directly and stopped Lu Wan, raised her voice, and asked impatiently: "Our lady invites the girl to come over, and also asks the girl to move!" ”

Green Branch raised his brow in annoyance, and just as he was about to speak, his arm was grabbed by Yumo.

With just the right smile on her face, Yumo stood in front of Lu Wan quietly, bowed to the middle-aged grandmother, and said with a crisp smile: "This grandmother looks a little angry, and I think I recognized the wrong person." ”

Without waiting for the middle-aged grandmother to speak out angrily, Yumo smiled and directly blocked the middle-aged grandmother's words, "I look at the grandmother as if she has only arrived in the capital for a short time, and I don't know the rules here." People like us, no matter whether they are masters or girls, they don't have the reason to be seen casually, let alone a lady who doesn't know where to come from. I've never seen a person standing in the middle of the courtyard like Mama standing in the middle of the yard directly, and if it was in our house, someone would have beaten it out a long time ago. ”

"You-" The middle-aged grandmother turned blue with anger, and raised her hand to fan it.

Yumo sneered, raised his hand to block the middle-aged grandmother's arm, and shouted, "Grandma, are we easy to bully?" ”

Guangji saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly called a little novice to come over and whispered instructions, and then stepped forward to recite Amitabha Buddha, and persuaded with haha, "The Buddha is pure, and it is not easy to argue." Please also ask the two donors to be calm and not to disturb the Bodhisattva's meditation. ”

As soon as the words fell, seeing that the middle-aged grandmother and Yumo were deadlocked, Guangji glanced at Lu Wan, who had no intention of speaking indifferently, and sighed helplessly, and was about to persuade again, but saw another person coming out from behind the corridor, and immediately frowned.
