Chapter 78: Another Little Conspiracy Foiled
I don't know if this table is cleverly arranged or unintentional.
Lu Lu looked indifferent, but Yi Jianmei and Yang Mingzhu were like chewing wax.
Having seen and understood Lu Lu's brutality and ruthlessness, they were not willing to face her in public at all. What's more, just before appreciating the dance, they saw that she was dying and Miss Gu from the capital, and they could avoid it, for fear of causing trouble.
Silence is the most basic etiquette.
Although everyone had their own thoughts, everyone was quiet, and there was no sound at the table.
Finally, there is an after-dinner dessert, which is a chrysanthemum bun.
A thick yellow chrysanthemum petal is placed on the soft white egg-shaped bun, which shines against each other, and it is very beautiful!
Lu Lu couldn't help but pinch a piece, smelled it, and still had the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and couldn't help but secretly praise this Cheng Mansion for its unique thinking and chrysanthemums everywhere.
Raising his eyes slightly, Lu Lu inadvertently saw a familiar girl opposite, and his expression was slightly panicked.
She put down the chrysanthemum bag and toured the audience.
The ladies were all savoring, and the girls who served were all focused on their masters, but next to Miss Duanfu, who relied on the ladies the most, there were two girls staring at Lu Lu fixedly.
Lu Lu's heart moved slightly: Could it be that the chrysanthemum bag is fraudulent?
Then it was denied.
The chrysanthemum bags are sent from a tray, the shape is exactly the same, and the color is not the same. Lu Lu reached out to take it randomly, and no one could guarantee which one she would take, unless the whole table of chrysanthemum bags was fraudulent, otherwise she couldn't be calculated?
But when you look at it coldly, the whole table is eating with relish, and there is no possibility of being manipulated at all.
Lu Lu also took a bite of the chrysanthemum bag.
At this time, the tea cup was served.
Yang Mingzhu whispered to Yi Jianmei and smiled: "I heard that this chrysanthemum tea must be drunk with a chrysanthemum bag, it is more delicious." ”
"Really? Then I'll taste it. Yi Jianmei hurriedly took a sip, then opened her eyes wide, happy: "Sure enough." ”
Yang Mingzhu raised her eyebrows proudly and took a sip.
Lu Lu's heart suddenly felt like a mirror.
It turns out that this cup of tea is weird!
The tea is a cup for one person, which is sent by the Chengfu girl, and one by one it is sent to the respective girl and then to the guests. On the surface, there is nothing to fault with.
However, Lu Lu has a lot of eyes and pays attention to it.
When the girl from Chengfu brought it up with a plate, she deliberately picked a cup and sent it to Chuncao at the beginning, and then walked to Lu Mingyan's girl Shuxiang in turn, but Shuxiang took a cup from the tray at will.
Famous!
Lu Lu raised his eyes to look at the table of the ladies again.
At this time, Gu Yao looked over with a look on his face.
Lu Lu also smiled, and then slowly poured the cup of chrysanthemum tea into the bowl in front of her face, and the corners of her mouth were also smiling. Gu Yao's face was instantly ugly.
There was an undercurrent between them, and no one else saw it, only Cheng Yi caught a glimpse, watching the two interact in the air, thoughtfully.
After lunch, the host welcomed the ladies and ladies into the warm room for a short rest.
In the hall, all the ladies and ladies made fun of the ladies and wives on their knees, and they were happy for a while, and the hall was full of fragrant people, and the soft words and laughter were endless.
Lu Lu also sat down beside Pang Zi, maintaining a ladylike posture and smiling without showing her teeth, no matter who said something, she smiled lightly.
Lu Mingyan pursed her lips when she saw this: You can really pretend!
Among the sisters of the Lu family, Lu Mingshu is the most beautiful, and she has been taken by the Shi family to attend various occasions all the year round, and the wives of all sizes know each other, and they have a good impression of her.
On the contrary, as the only daughter of the Lu Mansion, Lu Lu is a little dwarfed.
Her appearance is only middle-upper, not very outstanding, and the first time she attended this kind of occasion, she was not good at words, and only knew how to giggle, which attracted some eight ladies to whisper their advice.
Lu Lu doesn't care, she didn't want to please people, so she didn't bother her.
Cheng Yi quietly came over and pulled her sleeve and glanced at her.
Lu Lu glanced at Pang Shi, she was whispering to Shi Shi, probably comparing the young lady who fit her eyes, and she wanted to tell Lu Ying or Lu Xu, right?
"Sister Cheng, is there something wrong?" Lu Lu followed Cheng Yi to the side of the hall pillar and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Yi's face was not very good, and he hesitated for a while before asking: "Have they already begun to calculate you?" ”
"Huh? Why do you say that? Lu Lu didn't dare to be frank yet.
Cheng Yi frowned and said, "Sister Ling's feet are not bad, but she is too frightened. I don't think Juyuan has any terrible programs arranged, so why would I be too frightened? After inquiring, I found out that she went to Begonia House. However, there is nothing to be scared of except a begonia in Begonia House. So I wonder if there's something else going on. ”
"Well, there is a secret, didn't you find out about it?" Lu Lu smiled.
Cheng Yi shook his head and sighed lightly: "Although Juyuan is our Cheng family's property, it is only lent to Mrs. Chang today, in addition to our Cheng family's people, there are also many Changfu people everywhere, so it is not so easy to inquire about the inside situation." ”
"That's right. I'll tell you, then. Lu Lu hooked his fingers and laughed: "Come here, I'll tell Sister Cheng." ”
So, Lu Lu gritted his teeth and told Cheng Yi about the first thing, and the latter turned pale and stared at her in irrepressible astonishment.
"It's true. As a client, I didn't add fuel to the fire. Lu Lu smiled with his hands on his sleeves.
"But, but isn't Miss Lu your sister?"
"Sister sister, if you are not a mother, how can you love each other as a family?" Lu Lu added disapprerovingly: "What's more, it is much more cost-effective for her to climb up to Gu Yao than to betray her sister." ”
"Why? Even if she climbs up to Miss Gu, what good will it do her? Yicheng is far away from the capital. ”
Lu Lu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled, and said quietly: "Maybe, it's something in the upper Duan Mansion, right?" I want to get closer. ”
As soon as she assumed this, Cheng Yi's demeanor was clear.
Duan Mian! Who else but him?
Eight out of ten people in this room were hungry for him. Young and promising, with a prominent background, outstanding ability, a talent, and a cold temperament, he is simply the first choice for the most ideal golden beetle son-in-law.
"That is just at the table, and you and Gu Yaomei are competing with each other because of this incident?" Cheng Yi asked in a low voice.
Lu Lu just wanted to open his mouth, and suddenly thought that it was likely to involve the Cheng Mansion maid and servant woman being sold, Cheng Yi is the Cheng family in the end, even if he doesn't protect it, he will try to cover it up, it's better not to tell the truth.
"Well, she's not convinced. Obviously, the arrangements were seamless, but it was Lu Mingrong who was unlucky and frightened. ”
Cheng Yi's eyes showed disdain, and when she looked not far away, Gu Yao sighed with a smile beside Mrs. Gu: "This Miss Gu is really ......" The rest of the evaluation, she is not easy to say.
"I don't know my heart." Lu Lu also glanced at her.
Cheng Yi felt sorry again, lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry Miss Lu." ”
"None of your business. You also said that Juyuan not only has the subordinates of the Cheng Mansion, but also the subordinates of the Chang Mansion on duty, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence and loopholes for these suspicious people to get through. ”
"Thank you Miss Lu for your understanding."
"It's okay, I'll be more careful." Lu Lu patted her, very kind and kind.
Cheng Yi immediately assured solemnly: "Miss Lu, don't worry, there will be no more similar incidents." ”
"Well, I do."
