Chapter 175: Blocked
The news heard from different channels is similar, basically the same as the content of Mrs. Bai's letter, but the details are much richer, such as mentioning the taboo of Mrs. Huai Lanxin.
Mrs. Huai is very good at making money, has the ability to have a skill, a reliable mother, and a full principal, she is very confident in this, so unless you want to do business with her, don't mention money to her at any time, otherwise she will take the money and kill you.
Mrs. Huai had died of a daughter, and she was still a delicate girl, and she died before she could do so, so she was very taboo to mention any woman who died early and had a miserable life; Because her daughter has an ear disease, she can't hear the word 'deaf'.
After Mrs. Huai gave birth to her eldest daughter with ear disease, she had not been born for six years, and she had borne a lot of pressure in the past six years, so she should still hate the name of "childless" and "jealous" to accuse people and wives.
……
Lu Li sorted out the news he heard, and said in his heart that money is really a good thing...... Just buy so much, get as much!
He turned his head to look at Shen Wansha, "The silver I gave you shouldn't be enough." ”
Shen Wansha was peeling melon seeds, and waved his hand when he heard the words, "It's okay, it's enough, this little thing is not difficult for the young master at all." "And King Ping also helped, except for some money, there is no difficulty in this matter at all.
Lu Li frowned slightly. This is his own private matter, there is no reason for others to help and pay for it, and good friends can't do this...... He got up and went to the room to get a small box and handed it to Shen Wansha.
Shen Wansha saw that the small box was a little familiar, and he knew what was inside without lifting it, his face darkened, and he directly pushed the box back, "I don't want it!" ”
Lu Li's eyebrows drooped slightly, looking at the shallow carvings on the black lacquer box, "You are like this...... Why am I embarrassed to ask you for help in the future? "He can't do this kind of thing.
Shen Wan stood up with a puffed face, "I've never been the only one who smashes others with money!" I'm not bad at this half-penny, and it's not someone else to help friends, I don't want you to give it! "It costs money for such a small thing, and it hurts face!
"You see, I'm different from before, I have money, I can make money, I can't rely on you like this......" Lu Li wanted to try to explain, his brother was settling accounts or something...... Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Shen Wansha's angry voice.
Shen Wansha's eyes were red, "Then I don't want it either!" I treat you like a brother, what's wrong with helping! The two jujubes are also worth your care! One day, if I want to ask you for something, you have to ask me for money to help! ”
"Of course ......not" Lu Li sensed that Shen Wansha's situation was wrong, and tried to pull Shen Wansha's hand, Shen Wansha dodged, he grabbed it hard and didn't let go, "You are my best friend, your difficulties are my difficulties, of course I will help ...... if you have something."
"Then your business is not mine?" Shen Wansha pouted, the corners of his eyes were red, and he glared at Lu Li fiercely, "I just want you to rely on me, I like me!" If I want to rely on you one day, you will kick me out! ”
Lu Li had a headache, "It's just a little silver, why do you think so...... So extreme? He touched Shen Wansha's face, revealing a gentle smile, and his voice was elongated and coaxed, "Okay, young master, let's stop making trouble, okay?" I don't give you money, I rely on you to give me money to help, and I enjoy it very much, and I will take your money in the future, okay? ”
"Don't smile and coax! I mean it! Shen Wansha bit his lower lip and was very serious, "If you have something to say in the future, you can't think about giving me money anymore!" ”
Lu Li sighed and hugged Shen Wansha, "...... Good. ”
Shen Wansha was patted on the back by Lu Li, his face blushed a little, and before Lu Li got up, he pushed Lu Li away, turned around and sat with his back to him, "People like me...... Probably only money. I don't like to study, even if I read it, I can't write poetry, I can't draw, I can't play the piano, and I can't play chess well...... I said that I wanted to be the first gentleman in Beijing because I probably couldn't do anything else besides the gentleman. Little oak, you are smart, capable, you read a lot of books, and your life is interesting and exciting, so enviable, I often think, why do you want to be friends with me......"
Shen Wansha's voice was small, hugging his knees and curling himself up, the background was thin and thin, and he was a little lonely, "I know it's definitely not money, you seem to like money very much, but I have seen a lot of people who really love money, it's not like you." I don't know how to be nice to you, how to be friends with you for life, but I have a lot of money, and I want to have more money for you...... So one day you have a lot of new friends, even if it's just because you don't have money to buy me, I'm happy......"
The room was very quiet for a while, and you could hear a pin drop.
Lu Li sighed faintly, and bent his fingers to flick the back of Shen Wansha's head, "Young master...... How many childhood traumas do you have to be like this......" He deliberately stretched his voice long, and without waiting for Shen Wansha to turn his head and glare at him, he took the lead in holding his arms and turned to Shen Wansha, blinking his eyes and making a strange noise, "Obviously so good-looking, kind, open-minded and upright, how can he feel that he has no charm to attract others?" ”
"I still have no money and no power, I have no father and no mother since I was a child, I am afraid that the young master will not want me, who knows that the young master will ...... Tsk, it looks like I'll be able to set up music in the future! Lu Li exaggerated his chin and made a tsundere ......
"You dare!" Shen Wan jumped up, "Be careful that the young master smashes silver and abuses you!" ”
His eyes were still fierce, but this time the corners of his eyes were not drooping, but upturned, and his bright big eyes did not have the faint water light of Fang Cai, but shone with dazzling brilliance and a clear smile.
"Wow, young master is so fierce, I'm so scared-" Lu Li screamed to run, Shen Wansha rushed over with a 'whoop', and the two screamed and quarreled.
When they were exhausted, the two of them snorted and separated, and Lu Li touched Shen Wansha's head, "The young master is very good, I haven't made other friends before, they are clumsy, and they will regret it." ”
Shen Wansha raised his hand to his forehead, the back of his hand against his eyes, and his voice was astringent, "...... Well. ”
"In fact, it's good to have money, everyone in the world is camping for money, worrying and helpless, money is not a bad thing, as long as it is your own labor, sweat, there is nothing bad. Everyone has their own good at it, and I don't know what you said about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I'm just a, a cheap person, and many people look down on me. As for the days are fun and exciting...... Everyone's dream is almost a peaceful and peaceful life, and only you, young master, would be willing to be friends with someone like me......"
Lu Li closed his eyes, and his voice was soft like a sigh, "Good brother, there is no afterlife in this life, only a lifetime of fate, we have to ...... well in the future."
Shen Wansha's throat surged, "...... Well. ”
Outside the window, willow branches flutter and cicadas chirp.
The iceberg in the blue-glazed porcelain basin in the corner of the wall slowly melted, and the incense pills in the three-legged beast tripod emitted wisps of light smoke, and the taste was fresh and sweet.
On a hot summer day, this moment seems far away.
After Lu Li and Shen Wansha gasped for a while, they turned their heads at the same time, saw themselves in each other's eyes, and grinned.
……
Now that the news has come out, the next step is to come to the door.
Lu Li wanted to see Lan Xin, Shen Wansha naturally raised his hand to sign up to follow, as for Zhao Shu and He Lianyu, he didn't go together.
Zhao Zhu's body was too angry, ordinary people would subconsciously want to kneel when they saw it, and the clear-eyed people could see that this was a baptism of human life and blood, and they didn't dare to be careless. That Lan Xin is a powerful person when she hears it, her temper is very strange, as soon as Zhao Shu goes, in case it arouses people's fighting spirit, not to mention that Haosheng sits down and chats with Lu Li, it is possible to fight, and the group will be beaten out again...... It's a shame.
As for Helian Yu, although his anger is not obvious, he is too frivolous, too cheap, and too attractive! Lan Xin is not a little girl who has just fallen in love, she is the mother of a little girl! After going through too many things, this person can't be fascinated by him, but it is very likely that he will see them as a raccoon dog, thinking that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to black are black, and if they have a bad impression of Lu Li, they will be in trouble!
Let the elders have a good impression, it is best to be a good-looking young man who is clean and refreshing, Lu Li himself has a good temperament, and it just so happens that he himself is also fortunate to have a good temperament, so he can accompany him.
Zhao Zhuqi's teeth itched.
Recently, Lu Li has become more and more seductive. In the summer, Lu Libai's dangling wrists are often exposed, and when he is in the room, he is not careful, and the collar is often loose, revealing a small piece of delicate collarbone. In the candlelight, there will be a small nest next to the collarbone, which is particularly seductive and makes people want to kiss it. Not to mention the delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the beautiful side face lines......
Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, just let it out, what if she recruits a wolf!
Although Shen Wansha had good reasons, he was still very reluctant, and he didn't admit that he had any fierce anger in him.
It's a pity that Lu Li was honest with one paw.
Shen Wansha saw that Zhao Shu objected, and dragged He Lianyu to discuss other methods, not wanting Lu Li to hook his hand to call Zhao Shu to the room, and when he came out again the next moment, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked and he smiled brightly, "Let's go, young master, he agreed." ”
Shen Wansha saw that although Zhao Zhu's face was a little stinky, he really didn't stop it. It's just that the left side of his face seems to be a little redder than the right?
……
Outside the gate of Huaifu, Lu Li handed over the sticker.
I don't know if the owner greeted him in advance, he and Shen Wansha were quickly welcomed into the gatehouse. A moment later, a young man in Tsing Yi came and led them to the second gate, and then a fair-eyed maid came over and led them through the nine-song verandah to a hall.
After serving the refreshments, the maid saluted respectfully, "The master mother is busy with something, please sit here for a while." If the son has an order, beckon to the maid under the corridor. ”
"There's Miss Lao."
After the maidservant left, Shen Wansha stretched out his thumb and winked at Lu Li mysteriously, his eyes encouraged, "Little Lizi, don't be nervous, look at our smooth posture today, it must be no problem!" ”
Lu Li was really a little nervous, and took a sip of tea when he heard the words, "I hope so." ”
After a cup of tea, no one came. Shen Wansha comforted Lu Li, "The woman in the back house is like this, there are a bunch of messy things, grinding, don't worry, let's wait." ”
Lu Li looked at the green glazed teacup in his hand and nodded silently.
After a pillar of incense, no one came. Shen Wansha pointed to the scenery outside the hall, "Little oak, you see that the rose is really good, although the crown is not big, it climbs all over the wall like this, and it is very pleasing to the eye......"
Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, "It's really interesting." ”
Half an hour later, no one came. Shen Wansha took a deep breath, he had already said all the scenery and utensils that could be appreciated inside and out, and now he had to say tea, "This tea soup is light in color, has a long aftertaste, and it is still fragrant for so long......"
Lu Li smiled lightly, and said to Shen Wansha, "It's indeed good tea." ”
……
An hour passed, and still no one came, Shen Wansha couldn't sit still, slapped the table and stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "What's the matter with this Mrs. Huai!" I'll see you when I'm free, I'll make an appointment for another day if I'm not free, we're not so unreasonable and nonsense, what's the fun of hanging like this! ”
Lu Li's eyes were dark, and he lowered his head to look at the teacup in his hand, but did not speak.
Shen Wansha was a little distressed, so he simply went to pull Lu Li's hand, "Let's go, let's go!" Your mother is not only a friend surnamed Lan, didn't Mrs. Bai say that there are others? Let's just go find it! ”
Lu Li took a deep breath and stood up, saying in his heart that others were unwilling, and he was not reluctant. Unexpectedly, he was about to go out with Shen Wansha when he heard a sound of footsteps in the distance on the corridor.
Listening to the sound, there are a lot of people, but there is no noisy joke, like the master traveling.
Shen Wansha was stunned, "...... Mrs. Huai is here? ”
Lu Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Probably." "It's just so late...... I don't know if things will go smoothly today.
Shen Wansha thought about it, and immediately grinned and comforted Lu Li, "Oh, it's good that people are here, maybe something is delayed!" Little oak, people are elders, this time we are here again, if you want to be angry, pinch me twice, you can't make trouble with people, otherwise people will ignore your panic! ”
Lu Li patted Shen Wansha's hand and smiled very gently, "Don't worry, I know how to be measured." ”
Shen Wansha nodded again and again, "Well, I know, I just reminded you......"
While the two were talking, a group of people turned into the porch.
The leader is a woman with elegant posture, red lips and bright teeth, who looks like she should be in her forties, with big eyes, heroic eyebrows, taller than ordinary women, not fat, not thin, and gives people a sense of standing tall and upright between walking, and has a cool temperament.
Half a step behind her on the left side, there was a mother with gray sideburns, meticulous hair combed in a bun, and peaceful eyebrows, probably a personal loyal servant, followed by several maids with sharp eyebrows and eyes, holding all kinds of things.
Lu Li and Shen Wansha unanimously had a guess in their hearts, this woman who walked at the forefront must be Mrs. Huai Lan Xin!
Mrs. Huai walked to the back of the hall, and she didn't look at Lu Li and Shen Wansha, she walked directly to the first seat and sat down, stretched out her hand, and just took the tea handed by the maid.
With a gentle sip, she looked down at the two people in the hall.
This gesture is quite contemptuous of people, Shen Wansha is rarely treated so unreasonably and slowly, if it weren't for Lu Li's request for this person, he would have turned around and left!
But he still tugged at Lu Li's sleeve and reminded him not to be angry, maybe people have this temper!
Take a closer look at this Mrs. Huai's eyebrows are naturally slightly raised, her big eyes are more black and white, and she looks heroic from a distance, and her temperament is very comfortable. And she doesn't smile yet, the corners of her mouth are pruning down when she is expressionless, how powerful she looks!
With such a face, coupled with her background and temperament, Mrs. Huai gives people the feeling that it is three words: difficult to get along!
The mother beside Mrs. Huai lowered her head and said something in her ear, Mrs. Huai paused, handed the teacup in her hand to the maid, wiped her hands casually with a handkerchief, and asked Lu Li, "You are Miao Hongxiao's son?" ”
Lu Li stepped forward, with a decent smile on his face, and bowed, "Senior Lu Li, I have seen Mrs. Huai." ”
Mrs. Huai narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
It's a long time, and it's as if I've looked at every detail from head to toe and evaluated it.
Because he was an elder, Lu Li didn't care too much, but the smile on his face almost froze.
Mrs. Huai's gaze finally stopped on his smile, her eyebrows furrowed, the corners of her lips moved, and finally her voice was a little cold, as if she was a little disdainful, a little ridiculous, "You really don't look like your father at all." ”
Lu Li was stunned.
Shen Wansha's teeth rattled, what does this woman mean!
A woman who is from a famous family and is accustomed to being a housewife rarely speaks straightforwardly, and tries to be as subtle as possible when she wants to scold. It is said that the appearance of the child is uncertain, sometimes Xiao's father, sometimes Xiao's mother, sometimes like an aunt and grandfather, not like a father, but Mrs. Huai's expression and tone are alluding to Lu Li's adulterous son! His mother stole people, so he doesn't look like his father!
"What are you—" Shen Wansha was about to question with a dark face, but Lu Li grabbed his hand.
Lu Li's smile did not change, and even his tone was very relaxed, as if he was not angry at all, as if he didn't hear the meaning of Mrs. Huai's words, "I heard that Mrs. Huai gave birth to two sons, but unfortunately they don't look like Lord Huai." ”
Yes, in the news he collected, it was said that Huaide Shui was not handsome at all, with a square face, small eyes, dark skin, and not tall, and the two sisters-in-law were very happy when they were born, because the son looked like a mother, very beautiful, and full of heroism, and he would be good-looking when he gave birth to a grandson in the future, and the descendants of the old Huai family finally had no ugly people!
And looking at Mrs. Huai's posture, she doesn't look like his mother's girlfriend at all, but she has a grudge. Since people don't mean to talk to him well, there is no need for him to give a good face.
Mrs. Huai's eyebrows were raised, and her nails painted with bright red kodan slashed across the tabletop, making a screeching sound.
"Good." She glanced at Lu Li and Shen Wansha, and sneered, "Someone is coming-send off!" ”
Lu Li immediately walked out, and he didn't need to be sent at all.
Shen Wansha stomped his feet angrily, snorted heavily at Mrs. Huai, and ran out.
The hall was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Mrs. Huai's sleeves brushed the table, and the tea set beauty bottles on the table fell to the ground and shattered. The sharp sound of breaking came and went, and the maids and servants were silent, and no one dared to step forward.
Hearing the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground, Mrs. Huai's mood seemed to be a little better. Helping the sideburns Feng Hai, she reached out to hold the hand of her mother next to her, and a sneer bloomed at the corner of her lips, "Go!" ”
……
The corridor was long, and when Shen Wansha caught up with Lu Li, Lu Li was no longer angry, and in turn comforted Shen Wansha, "It's just that it has nothing to do with others, and the young master doesn't need to be angry." Regardless of whether Mrs. Huai is my mother's friend or not, in the past so many years, time has changed, and some of the past, she is willing to tell me that it is love, and she is unwilling to say it, it is her duty. ”
Shen Wansha was still angry, "But what kind of attitude do you see her!" ”
"She doesn't know who the young master is......" Lu Li patted Shen Wansha on the shoulder, "One day the young master is happy, and he scared her to death when he said it!" ”
"Yes, it scares her to death when you say it! Hahahaha-" Shen Wansha laughed.
In fact, both of them know that Mrs. Huai came to Beijing and has a good family background, and Shen Wansha's name may not be able to scare her, but now that she is in a bad mood, she always has to say something to relieve her anger......
Walking outside the second gate, the relationship between the two had improved a lot, and they were about to continue walking, when they suddenly saw a group of people diagonally coming diagonally, and the first one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. The young man was wearing a water-green shirt, with a weak figure, soft black hair, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and an extremely well-behaved expression.
Seeing them coming, the young man beckoned to the people next to him to say something, and after listening to the people's reply, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to stop.
Of course, he also stopped.
He led his subordinates to stand against the wall, his posture was a little respectful, and the meaning was obvious, let Lu Li and Shen Wansha go first.
Lu Li and Shen Wansha are a little strange, but they have just experienced some rudeness in the inner house, and now they are treated respectfully, and they will inevitably feel nostalgic in their hearts. When they passed by the teenagers, the two nodded politely.
The boy seemed to be a little flattered, and smiled shyly at them. Wait until they are far away before they leave with their subordinates.
It's just that posture is much more cautious than Mrs. Huai's aggressive and aggressive.
Shen Wansha asked curiously, "Who is that person?" ”
"Oh, it's Aunt Shi's younger brother Shi Yi, who can go into the house to visit his sister three times a month, and he probably came to see Aunt Shi again today."
Shen Wansha couldn't help but sneer.
Just based on what he saw and heard today, he knew that in this Huai Mansion, the rules must be very strict, and Mrs. Huai has a good means to govern the family single-handedly!
The two walked out of Huaifu and found Zhao Zhuhe Lianyu waiting for them.
"Why are you ......" Shen Wansha was a little curious.
Helian Yu smiled, "At this time, if Mrs. Huai doesn't leave food, you should come out, let's try our luck." ”
Zhao Shu looked at Lu Li for the first time, although he sent a secret guard, he still didn't worry about Lu Li alone. What should I do if my daughter-in-law is too beautiful and is taken care of!
Seeing that Lu Li's face was calm and not a little surprised, he frowned and glanced at Hong You on the wall.
Hong You shrugged his shoulders and shook his head silently at him.
I've been in for so long, but there's no good news......
Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed, and his voice was as cold as frost, "Is the Huai family angry with you?" ”
