Chapter 58: Blocked
After entering the city, Lu Lu was silent and obediently followed the queue of freshly clothed angry horses.
The Lu Mansion is in Fuxianfang, in the east of the city, and if you walk on two legs, you can only return home after dark. Yicheng has a developed business, and there are special means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages, mule carts, and sedan cars, so do you want to rent one?
Lu Lu looked at the four roads, and forgot to look at the road under his feet. I don't know when, the jade-faced boy tightened the reins, dragged the horse around in place, looked at Lu Lu who was slipping down the street with his eyes almost collided, and chuckled: "Girl, be careful." ”
"Oh?" Lu Lu walked in time, embarrassed to smile at him and asked, "Has the son arrived home?" ”
The jade-faced boy was speechless: Is there a little girl in Yicheng who doesn't know him?
"Well, it's coming. What about you? Where is home? ”
Lu Lu sighed: "East of the city." ”
"Chengdong? Then how did you get lost in the north of the city? "The jade-faced boy was surprised.
The corners of Lu Lu's eyes flared, and his face was full of anger: It's not because of that dead Duan Mian.
"I, I went shopping with my little sister, and before I knew it, I went farther and farther, and I went out of Beicheng for some reason." Lu Lu made up excuses.
The jade-faced boy stared at her, and although his expression was unnatural, he did not twist.
"Shall I send you back?"
"What's so embarrassing about that? Childe actually arrived home, then I will leave, thank you Childe for helping me out of the siege. Lu Lu was frightened, she didn't dare to return to Lu Mansion with such fanfare.
The jade-faced boy was slightly surprised.
In this Yicheng, there are only a handful of women who can be protected by him, how many girls are looking forward to being in his eyes? This girl is good, and the refusal is simply natural.
He was originally just enthusiastic for a while, but at this time he was a little interested, and said with a smile: "It's a gesture." I don't know what to call the girl? ”
"My name is Cheng Zhu." Lu Lu raised his head and smiled.
"Good name!"
"Thank you." Lu Lu bowed his hand, then looked left and right, and sincerely asked: "How to get to Fuxian Fang in the east of the city?" ”
The jade-faced boy was speechless, and he felt interesting, and the horse whip pointed and said quickly: "Go straight, go around Anye Fang, turn Yonghefang in the east about 100 steps around the southbound intersection of Daning Fang, turn Taipingfang, and finally face east is Fuxian Fang." ”
His speech speed is very fast, and there are many squares, which means deliberately testing Lu Lu.
Lu Lu listened carefully, nodded frequently, and suddenly realized: "Understood, thank you, childe." ”
"Do you really understand?"
Lu Lu nodded, repeated his words, and after thanking him again, he left.
Stunned, seeing Lu Lu leave in a hurry, the jade-faced boy suddenly came back to his senses, and glanced at his relatives, and the clever follower had to order the horse to follow quietly.
Later, the little servant of the jade-faced boy reported: "Childe, after Miss Cheng walked out of Anye Fang, she bargained and rented a mule cart for ten dollars to return to the entrance of Fuxianfang Street, and looked around after getting off the car, as if she knew that someone was following her, she turned around and ran around in Fuxianfang, and the little one finally didn't lose it, and saw her enter the back door of the Lu Mansion with her own eyes." ”
"Lu Fu? It turned out to be a girl from Lufu! The jade-faced boy was a little stunned and a little unconvinced.
The ladies of the Lu Mansion have frequent contacts with their Changfu, and he has had several relationships with all the ladies in the house, why does this girl look at her as a complete stranger? New to the scene?
Lu Lu ghost elf, intuition and surprisingly accurate. I always felt like I was being targeted, so I scurried around Fuxian for a while, and then flashed into the side door of the Lu Mansion.
It's not too early, and Xia Wen must be sad to death.
Lu Lu knew that he had been exposed, so he didn't go back to the bamboo garden, and went straight to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is still as depressed and deserted as I saw in the morning, and the mother-in-law on duty is not lazy this time, but stays outside the door.
Lu Lu covered his hood, walked over with his head down, and said in a low voice: "Mom, it's convenient, let me take a look at the girl." "I want to stuff the silver with it.
The mother-in-law on duty had a bitter face and said sharply: "What are you doing here?" The wife sent an old slave to guard this ancestral hall, and if there is no wife, whoever comes, cannot break the rules. ”
Cut? Is this going to be the rule?
After Lu Lu slandered, he looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no outsiders, so he simply raised the brim of his hat and said lightly: "The rules are out of order." ”
"Big, big girl?" The mother-in-law on duty was shocked.
Lu Lu said, "Now I can go in and replace it, right?" ”
"Girl, you're back!" The mother-in-law was unusual, and knelt down.
"Huh?" Lu Lu felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, I heard a man's cold voice inside: "Don't come in yet!" ”
Lu Lu took a deep breath, rubbed his face, and brought out a flattering smile, then pushed open the half-hidden door and stepped in.
It was dark and gloomy, and the autumn light behind him poured in, and it didn't let Lu Lu recognize who the person standing with his hands was for the first time? She squinted her eyes and adjusted to the light in the hall, and then heard a male voice in the voice change period: "Sister is so Yaxing." ”
"Oh, it's Big Brother and Brother Ying?" Lu Lu smiled even more happily.
As long as it's not two masters, she's not afraid?
Lu Du and Lu Ying were speechless, she still laughed? Goofs!
They searched the street, saw that the hour was almost coming and turned back to the house, and waited for another half an hour before the eldest lady came back slowly? Do you know to come back and replace? Is it addictive to playing?
"Girl, slaves are useless." Xia Wen was still kneeling, her eyes were swollen and she had obviously cried.
"Natsumo, you're tired. Hurry up and go back to the bamboo garden to rest first. Lu Lu stretched out his hand and picked up Xia Wen.
"Slaves don't dare." Xia Wen glanced at the two young masters with straight faces.
"This matter is my mastermind, and I will bear whatever it takes. You don't have to worry, get up quickly, kneel for so long a day, be careful of freezing rheumatism. Lu Lu tried his best to help Xia Wen up.
"Thank you, girl." Xia Wen didn't dare to rub his kneeling numb knee, and bowed his head to thank him.
"You go back first, talk to Chuncao, let the kitchen boil a bowl of ginger soup, and go to the cold." Lu Lu bent down to rub her knees for her, and Xia Wen was flattered and avoided: "The slave will come by herself." ”
Lu Lu nodded, now is not the time to buy people's hearts, and stroked her Guan Fa with a smile: "Let's go back first." I'll be back in a moment. ”
"Hmm." Xia Wen Xiang Ludu, Lu Yingfu Fufu, dragging his sore legs step by step carefully out of the threshold.
Lu Lu's eyes had fully adapted to the glow of the ancestral hall, and he smiled at Lu Du, who had a flat face: "How can the eldest brother have time to come to this moldy ancestral hall, is it to visit me who has been punished?" ”
Lu Ying shook his head and sighed, "Eldest sister, you are too bold today. If you let your father know, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as punishing kneeling in the ancestral hall? ”
"Daddy is busy with all kinds of opportunities, and his busy feet don't touch the ground, how can he know my bold words and deeds? As long as you don't say it, it's absolutely safe, right? ”
Lu Du snorted, "You expect us not to say it, right?" ”
"Of course. You and I are relatives whose blood is thicker than water, and you will not gloat to see me being punished and suffering again, will you? Naturally, they will keep it a secret for me. Lu Lu smiled skillfully.
Lu Du and Lu Ying swallowed at the same time.
"This has been revealed beforehand." Lu Du waved his hand and said with a calm face: "I'll ask you." How did you know that Taipingfang was the stronghold of the Second Prince's military cavalry? ”
Ask this again!
Lu Lu lowered his head and didn't take his clothes back.
"Big sister, the stakes are high." Lu Ying whispered: "Some clues were found from Taipingfang, and there are indeed traces of the armed guards. And Wu Caiwei is the emperor's secret guard, we suspect that the second prince may have stayed in Yicheng? ”
"So what?"
"If the second prince controls the military cavalry guard, it shows that the emperor's attitude is actually in favor of the second prince."
"Oh. Do you have a sense of crisis? Think you're on the wrong side? Lu Lu asked bluntly.
Lu Du and Lu Ying glanced at each other, faintly feeling this way.
"It's not too late to make amends, the Lu Mansion can still turn around and serve the second prince secretly. This way out is not completely blocked. The third prince didn't tie up Lu Fu completely, right? Lu Lu was very relaxed, and felt that Lu Fu was just a businessman, and it was not too late to recognize the situation and revise the effectiveness target in time.
"I'm afraid it's too late." Lu Du raised his head and sighed.
