Chapter 306: The Secret of the Hour
solved Lu Mingrong, and the next thing is Aunt Yi.
Lu Lu hugged Qiu in front of the stove and pondered how to bring down Aunt Yi, a nasty woman, before marriage.
Xiaoqing lifted the curtain and entered the newspaper: "Girl, Xiaohuai is waiting outside, saying that there is something important to report." ”
"Yo, they're back." Lu Lu was overjoyed and busy: "Let him go to the side hall and wait." ”
"Yes."
I haven't seen him for many days, Xiao Huai seems to have grown taller, and he looks a little young and old, and the cotton jacket on his body is half-new and not old, and there is dirty mud.
"The little one has seen the girl." When Xiao Huai returned to the city, he heard that his girl had returned to the Lu Mansion in Yicheng, and if his feet did not touch the ground, he would report first.
Lu Lu smiled angrily: "Sit down, it's hard work." ”
"It's not hard. This is what the small one should do. Xiao Huai wiped his nose.
"What about them?"
Xiao Huai said cautiously: "Since the brothers of the Meng family are not from the house, it is inconvenient to come in with the little ones, so the little ones let them go home first." If the girl asks, the little one will call them. ”
"You've got it right." Lu Lu is very pleased, this little Huai is quite good at doing things. The foursome of the thieves are not from the Lu Mansion, and they can't go in and out of the mansion casually to do things for her, so Xiao Huai arranged for them to go home and report by himself, which is not inappropriate.
Well, this kid is clever and sophisticated, and he is one of the ones to marry.
"Get down to business. How's it going? ”
"Back to the girl, it's good to inquire." Xiao Huai said respectfully: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace the girl's trust." ”
"Tell me about it."
Longshan Leiyang Huaihuatun is the original hometown of the Liu family and the hometown of Mrs. Li. Liu's close relatives are no one in their own family. There are only a few distant relatives, so no matter how rich the Lu Mansion is, it is embarrassing to come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.
Mrs. Li is not very old, in her forties, and she is still alive. It's just that the countryside is hard, and it's the same as being in your fifties, old-fashioned.
Originally, she came back with a sum of silver, but she couldn't stand the difficulties at home. It's all patched in. In recent years, the family's livelihood has become increasingly difficult, and several children and nephews have gone to Lufu to find an errand so that they can have a stable income. There are even more inquisitive people who inquire around and know that the only concubine of the Liu family has been taken back to Yicheng. Maybe you can see that you have served Mrs. Liu in the first place and then take in Mrs. Li?
But. Mrs. Li refused to live or die. and endured these hard and poor days. It's very unpopular with children.
Xiao Huai they came just in time. Mrs. Li was the most difficult time, and she gave a few taels of silver to get the news. Back then, after Liu's dystocia. Mother Wei took Lu Lu away, and only Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wen were left in the house cleaning up the Liu family, and the Yi family came in and found a way to send Mrs. Wen out.
Yi Shi saw that Liu Shi still had his last breath, so he wiped his tears and took Liu's hand and asked if he had anything else to say.
Liu knew that his time was short, so he took his last breath and told Aunt Yi to treat his only bone and blood well, and also handed over his most considerate dowry box to Yi for safekeeping, saying that when his daughter grew up, it would be beneficial for Yi to hand it over to her.
Yi Shi cried even more, and when he took it and saw that there was a lock, he casually asked about the lock.
Liu grabbed Yi's hand and spit out two words: "Time ......" and rolled his eyes.
“…… Hour? "Lu Lu Wangtian, so to speak, the password is not her birthday, who will it be? Liu's?
Xiao Huai wiped his sweat and smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Li said that Aunt Yi tried the time of the first wife at that time, but she didn't open it. ”
"I'm in trouble." Lu Lu propped up his forehead and asked again: "Then she confessed, why was she kicked out of the house?" ”
Xiao Huai nodded and said, "She said it all." Because Aunt Yi wanted her to leave the house, she also promised a sum of silver. And then planted it on her head under the pretense that something important was missing. ”
"She also admits this?"
"I don't think there's no way. The wives in the house there didn't come to the door, and Aunt Yi was the only one. Moreover, she is the person of the first wife, and after hearing the entrustment of the first wife, Aunt Yi did not abolish her, and she was already merciful. She had no choice but to admit it, took a sum of money and quietly returned to her hometown. ”
"I see. She's also an acquaintance. ”
"That's about it, girl."
Lu Lu thought for a while and asked, "Huaihuatun, is there still a branch of the Liu family?" ”
"According to a small inquiry, no."
"Alright, go down and rest. Xiaoqing. ”
Xiao Qing came in response, holding a bag of silver in his hand and handed it to Xiao Huai.
Xiao Huai thanked him.
Lu Lu said idly: "This silver is to reward you for your hard work. Take it and share it with Meng Dalang, there are still benefits in the future, and wait. ”
"Yes, thank you, girl."
Lu Lu waved the order: "Xiaoqing, send him out." ”
Xiaoqing responded.
Back in the room, Lu Lu took out the secret box and stared at it: whose time is it? Maternal grandparents? Impossible, right? Lu Jing? Probably not. Aunt Yi is so smart, she must have tried it.
Until the evening, Lu Lu was still thinking about this in his heart, and he was staring at it with his cheeks and eyes.
Mother Wei couldn't see it, and then said, "Girl, what are you doing staring at Mrs. Xian's box?" I can't even open it, forget it, right? Now that your wings are stiff, no matter what's in the box, it doesn't mean much, right? ”
"Mother Wei, everyone is curious, don't you want to know what's inside?"
"The old slave doesn't want to know."
"Alright, you can rest. I'll think about it again. ”
Wei's mother persuaded her, but she didn't listen, so she had to go down first.
Chuncao also advised: "The girl will rest first, right?" Maybe after resting, the first wife will tell her the unlock code in a dream. ”
"Dream?" Such a mysterious small probability event, Lu Lu didn't believe it.
When it was almost hai, Lu Lu was about to go to bed, when he heard the knock on the window lattice, and was stunned.
It's been a long time? Could it be that Duan Mian is here again?
"Who?"
"Me." Sure enough, it was Duan Mian's voice.
Lu Lu happily opened the back window, looked at Duan Mian who was cold at night, and said with bright eyes: "Why are you here?" ”
"I miss you." Duan Mian jumped in through the window, hugged her, and whispered: "If you can't stand it, you'll come." ”
"You, you didn't come on horseback overnight, did you?"
Duan Mian shook his head: "I entered the city at dusk, I wanted to come over to visit tomorrow, but I really can't wait." Lu'er, do you want me? ”
Lu Lu looked back: "I don't think so." ”
"Huh?" Duan Mian was disappointed, his cold hand cupped her face, and sighed: "Little has no conscience." ”
"Hee-hee. I've been back for a few days, so how can I miss you, but I think about it occasionally. ”
"Just occasionally?" Duan Mian took off his fur, put her against the corner of the wall, and kissed her fiercely: "It should be punished." ”
"Hmm, you?" Lu Lu was caught off guard, and responded to his heavy kiss in a panic, with ruthlessness and longing.
It took a long time for Duan Mian to let her go, looked down at Lu Lu, whose face was flushed and panting slightly, and his fingertips crossed her full and ruddy lips, and whispered: "I will leave Beijing at the beginning of spring, and I will come back in May." ”
"Oh. Will it pass through Yicheng? I'll send you. ”
"Yes." Duan Mian smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
Lu Lu put his arms around his waist and said in a low voice, "I will miss you too." ”
"Well, that's good."
"It's going to be busy, isn't it? Then don't run at both ends, be careful of the cold and slippery, and take care of your body. ”
"I know." Duan Mian enjoyed her advice very much, and chuckled: "I have measure, don't worry." ”
Lu Lu smiled lightly and didn't say anything more. Duan Mian hugged her and whispered some longing words, and she was tired and crooked. (To be continued.) )
