The Lu Mansion occupies a very wide area, the reason is that the two houses are connected, only a narrow alley is separated by the middle, and the alleys are actually sealed at both ends, which is specially used for the Lu Mansion long house and the second room to walk back and forth.

opened the west door and walked ten steps to the east door of Lu Yi, the second master of Lu Yi.

The population of Lu Er's Mansion is thin, with only one wife and two concubines, and there are not many people except three sons and one daughter.

Lu Lu was in the back hall and the Shi family, and the Yang family and the Hu family were all around, and they happened to meet together.

Shi Shi was younger than Pang Zi, his face was kind, he was always smiling, and he pulled Lu Lu and asked a lot of words in the village. Because of this, the cousins and others all went to the school, so Lu Lu didn't see the children of the second master Lu this time.

Shi was very happy to see that she was well-behaved and docile. She only has one concubine, and she had a good relationship with the Liu family, so she was more enthusiastic about her only daughter, so she refused to let her go back after lunch.

Lunch was being passed out, and the outside reported: "The master is back." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, and everyone was shocked and hurriedly saluted.

"Second uncle is good." Lu Lu lowered his eyes and stepped forward to salute.

Lu Yi didn't expect his niece to be there, so he waved his hand in a little surprise: "The eldest sister is back!" ”

"Yes, I only came back yesterday, and I didn't have time to come over to meet my second uncle and aunt because it was not early."

"The family is polite, sit."

Lu Yirong has a long face, relatively fair, medium stature, wearing a royal blue round-necked robe, his face is a little light, but his expression is a little hurried.

Shi hurriedly ordered someone to put the old man's meal on the table.

"No, there's something going on outside." Lu Yi raised his feet and entered the inner room.

Shi knew that there was a reason, and smiled at Lu Lu: "You just sit, your second uncle comes back to get something important, and I am afraid that lunch will be placed in the outer study." ”

"Well, Auntie is on her own."

Shi Shi nodded, and hurriedly dodged inside.

I only heard Lu Yi ask inside: "Where is the jade wall that you collected the day before yesterday?" Find it out quickly, there is an urgent need. ”

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It's messed up, ...... last night" Lu Yi's voice was irritable but gradually lowered.

But when he heard Shi's 'ah' exclaim, he seemed to cover his mouth again.

Then there was a burst of rummaging cabinets in the inner room, and I heard Shi calling: "Dye Cui." ”

A big girl who was originally staying in the living room answered crisply, and walked quickly.

After a while, Lu Yi was sweating profusely, came out with a dark red cloth bag in his arms, and smiled at Lu Lu who was hanging his hands and said, "I have other things to do outside, let your aunt accompany you more, and the eldest sister will come here to play with Mingshu when she has time." ”

"Yes, second uncle go slowly." Lu Lu smiled and sent it off.

Lu Yi was polite and hurriedly went.

Here, Shi also seemed absent-minded, obviously the news that Lu Yi brought back made her uneasy.

Duan Mian, the son of Xining Hou Shizi, stayed in Yicheng for one night in the rain, who knew that he met an assassin, and his whereabouts are now unknown, and the prefect of the city is about to turn Yicheng upside down and has not seen anyone.

Yes, there is no one alive, no corpse is dead, and now all the officials and gentry in the city who participate in the invitation are terrified.

Because Duan Mian's entourage was also nowhere to be seen, I don't know whether he was dead or injured, so the news was temporarily blocked, and it had not yet reached Yujing, once the news spread, the prefect's official hat was no longer necessary, and Lu Fu, as the head of the rich gentry, was also one of the receivers, and he would definitely be suspected.

Lu Jing and Lu Yi have been running around this matter since last night and today.

The son of Xining! Don't look at it as just a waiting master, but Old Lady Duan's Jiang is the cousin of the current Queen Mother, and she can be regarded as a royal prince. In addition, Duan Lu is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Duan Zheng is the post of Hou Ye and holds real power in the Ministry of War, and Duan Min marries one of the county kings, this family is not easy to offend.

Duan Mian is the grandson of the head of the Duan family, or the grandson, and the most important junior of the Duan family, if he wants to do something, not to mention that the emperor does not agree, the Duan family alone is enough to bother the big and small officials and gentry of Yicheng.

Another reason for Shi's uneasiness is that she knows that her husband and concubine Lu Du are the ones who have quietly met the third prince. As for what the two sides were talking about, she was not very clear. However, she overheard from the gathering of the official wives and rich wives that this part of the mansion was an important branch of the second prince's faction, so she ......

The host was listless and forced to smile, and Lu Lu naturally smiled and said goodbye after lunch.

This time, Shi Shi did not enthusiastically stay, and said some common words and sent them to the east gate.

Lu Lu was even more worried about the important things in his heart, and when he came back, he learned that Pang had not returned to the house, so he turned back to the bamboo garden and thought about it on the couch.

"The girl went to walk around the garden, and only then did she finish her meal, so be careful of accumulating food." Wei's mother smiled and persuaded.

"Hmm. It's also a rare good weather. ”

Lu Lu held Chuncao's hand and shook it twice in the small garden, and suddenly smiled: "Originally, I heard that Wang Ji osmanthus cake in the city was fragrant and delicious, and suddenly I was greedy, and Chuncao asked someone to buy some quietly." ”

Chuncao looked around in surprise and said, "Girl, don't talk about having a meal, where will you ask someone to buy it outside?" We've just returned to the city, and we don't know anyone in the house. ”

Lu Lu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard in a trance yesterday that the little Huaizi who raised horses was clever enough, and said that the old man and the young master are very appreciative, you go and call him over." ”

"Is there one? Did someone mention it yesterday? "Chuncao is confused.

Lu Lu glared at her: "If you are told to go, you will go." Don't alarm anyone."

"Oh." Chuncao scratched her head, asked the direction of the stable, and went next to the wall.

Lu Lu is also very helpless, even if the excuse is made up, it is still an excuse, anyway, she will gamble, and she won a thousand taels of gold in her hand, if she loses the bet, it is a big deal to be scolded and grounded for a few words.

The little bosom was very surprised.

Okay, why did the big girl who came back to the house want to see him? What else do you say about the rumors that the old man and the young master appreciated? This is a lie, full of mistakes.

With a nervous mood, he lowered his eyebrows and followed Chuncao to stand outside the gate of the bamboo garden.

Soon, Lu Lu called him into an ear room, first praised him with a fake appearance, and then took the money out to buy pastries.

Xiao Huaizi breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was convenient to take the door of the little maid-in-law, and this was easy to do.

But then, Lu Lu told him to go somewhere to deliver a message by the way, and he was almost scared to pee.

"Big, girl, small don't dare. That's, that's ......."

"You don't care what the place is, anyway, when you deliver the letter, I'll come here to get five taels of errands, and I won't treat you badly."

Five taels of errands? This is the silver that Xiao Huaizi can't save in a year.

So he had the courage to raise his eyes a little and asked, "Girl, is it really just a message?" ”

"Or else? Do you want to lead the troops to kill the enemy? Lu Lu glanced at him.

is small, thirteen years old is half the size of a child, it stands to reason that he can't enter the second door, but he looks clean and smart, and his eyes are black and white and clear.

"Yes, the little one must live up to the girl's trust."

"Hmm. Spring grass. Lu Lu completely believed in him because of his previous life, but he couldn't let him have no sweetness at all, so he called Chuncao to give the consistent money first, and said with a smile: "The rest is yours." ”

"Thank you, girl."

Xiao Huai took the order and left, and Wei's mother stopped Lu Lu with a black face.

"Girl, this is a country house that can't be compared to the Lu Mansion, and you can't enter the second inner house with half the head."

"I know."

Wei's mother pointed to the garden, gritted her teeth and said, "Does that girl know how many eyes she has just moved?" ”

"Let them keep an eye on it."

"Girl, let my wife know, what's the matter?"

Lu Lu looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully: "Huh? Mom, don't worry, I've thought of a reply to excuse myself. ”

"Girl, you can't be as willful as you are in the country." Wei's mother stomped her feet anxiously.

Lu Lu plucked out his ears and asked nonchalantly: "By the way, Mother Wei, is there a man's old robe?" ”

"What?" Wei's mother was almost startled.
