Chapter 34: Conspiracy
Mrs. Lu smiled: "Listen to the old lady's words, you will know that you can eat." We are also barbecue meat in the villa, the second son specially sent a package of barbecue condiments from the border pass, said that it came from the Tartars, the old lady thought, the Tartars deal with cattle and sheep all day long, eat meat, if it is not a good taste, I am afraid that they will not survive. So the barbecue flavor with that condiment is really amazing, I asked Aunt Xiang and I for a recipe, and when the New Year comes, we will also buy some with it, and eat it at home in the New Year. ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded and smiled: "This is good, just do it, if it is cold today, those meat will not be bad if it is placed outside." ”
After speaking, I heard Gu Lanxuan smile and said: "The old lady only said that the venison was delicious, and asked her granddaughter to say, it is still the best bear meat, it is really fragrant and fragrant in one bite, and I don't know how big the bear is that the second son hunted, and the meat is tender, as if it melts in the mouth." Even if the old lady's teeth are not very good, it is okay to eat that. ”
When the words fell, I heard Gu Sujun say: "That's right, especially the beeswax bear paw I ate last night, I heard that the second son cooked it himself." I'm so weird, how can he do anything? Even this will? God, is this still not going to let people live? I'm a girl, and I don't know how to make beeswax bear paws. ”
Gu Lanxuan glanced at Gu Qiluo, then covered her mouth and smiled: "That beeswax bear's paw is serious, we are all stained with the light of the eldest sister, and the second son made it clear at the time that he wanted to make a ...... for the eldest sister."
"Really? Why didn't I hear that? Gu Jinxiu was not angry in her heart, and immediately asked sharply when she heard this, and saw her mother look at her with a cold look. She lowered her head at this time, but she heard Gu Lanxuan smile leisurely: "The third sister seems to be sending Miss Cheng back to the villa at that time, no wonder she didn't hear it." ”
Gu Jinxiu hated so much that she wanted to drip blood. I can't wait to tear Gu Lanxuan's mouth and sew it up again, so that she can say these words that poke her heart again. It's just that because of his mother's strictness, these words can only be held in his heart and dare not say any more.
After everyone dispersed for a while, Mrs. Lu returned to the room, and when she saw Gu Jinxiu following up, she sat in front of the dresser and removed two pieces of jewelry. On the other hand, he said, "My son, what is the matter?" Rush fire is coming? ”
"Have you forgotten all the things my mother promised me that day? Obviously, you said ......," Gu Jinxiu said here. finally remembered that this was a thought that could not be spoken, because he glanced at the Linglong in the room, and waved his hand: "You go out, my mother and I have something to say." ”
Linglong agreed to go out. Only then did she come to Mrs. Lu's side. Pulling her sleeve and said: "My mother obviously promised me to let Cheng Qiuchan try him, but now that he has been tempted, he is not fascinated, you should always fulfill your promise, right?" Could it be that you can't even deceive your own daughter? ”
Mrs. Lu put down her jewelry, turned her head to look at Gu Jinxiu and said, "You still remember this." Splendid, can you be a little scheming? Don't rely on your mother for everything. For example, since you have such a mind, you should take care of that wild girl. Be nice to her, be close to her. Let everyone see you and think that you firmly support your eldest sister to marry into the Xiao Mansion. The result? Just now at the old lady's place, the second girl just said that, you can't hold your breath, are you afraid that the old lady won't see your idea? ”
"So what? Why should I be close to that wild girl? I used to be at odds with her, and now I suddenly want to make love with her, isn't it even more revealing? As for the old lady, huh! She's just from the countryside, although she's an old lady, but isn't the food and clothing in her mother's hands? What are you afraid of her doing? ”
"So when will you be able to enlighten yourself?" Mrs. Lu was so angry that she poked a finger on her daughter's forehead, gritted her teeth and said: "You go and make love with that wild girl, just make it look like you want to talk to the second grandmother of the future Xiao Mansion, only if you let her relax her guard, we can act." As for your grandmother, how can you say that you are also a granddaughter, can you talk like that? Although she is from the countryside, don't forget that she is your father's mother, she wants to be angry, even I have to concede three points, why do you dare to look down on her? ”
"Okay, mother, my daughter said the wrong thing in a hurry." Gu Jinxiu only has one thing hanging in her heart now, how can she be patient to listen to her mother's lesson? Mrs. Lu looked at this daughter, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, secretly saying that with such a temperament, Jinxiu would not be able to mix well in any house. Only the Xiao family, because she is still in charge of the aunt's family, as long as she is the second grandmother, she can be in charge of the house justifiably, the atmosphere in the house is good, and the girls are also kind, which may be worry-free for a lifetime. As for the big girl, huh! She is dignified and stable, and the city is deep, where is it not good to mix? So don't blame me for being ruthless, I want to rob my daughter of her good relatives, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, this world is like this.
"Okay, if you want your mother to help you find a way, you must first promise your mother to get along well with your big sister, and you must not let people see the slightest bit of your thoughts." Mrs. Lu looked at Gu Jinxiu solemnly, and saw that her daughter hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, she slowed down her complexion, and said softly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, just wait for the news from your mother." ”
"But mother, the Xiao family looks very anxious, what if they are going to be hired to marry? Where is the time for you to plan slowly? Gu Jinxiu saw that her mother looked like she was sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and she became anxious again.
"Their family said they wanted to marry, so they would marry? How can there be such a thing? Now that the New Year has passed, you have to let your sister live in this mansion for a while after the New Year, and do her filial piety under the knees of the master, right? Even if you get married in the summer, there is still half a year to go, what are you anxious about? ”
Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter with hatred, and when she saw that Gu Jinxiu had nothing to say, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, you go out, in short, remember, I have a point." You just do what I ask, don't spoil the big thing. ”
Gu Jinxiu was relieved at this time, and hugged Mrs. Lu to flatter her for a while, and then went out happily. Here Mrs. Lu sat in front of the window silently thinking about her thoughts, and she didn't know how long it took, when she suddenly heard Linglong outside: "Madam, my uncle is here." ”
"Oh? Invite him in. ”
Mrs. Lu stood up suddenly, straightened her clothes and came to the hall, and sure enough, after a while, she saw her cousin Lu Dongyun walk in. The two sisters and brothers greeted each other, and Mrs. Lu sent Linglong out of the door to guard.
Before Lu Dongyun could sit down, he hurriedly whispered, "Sister." What the hell is going on? I just returned to the capital, and I heard that the Xiao family is now amazing, and it is not as terrible as the rumors, it is actually a figure who has no dragon and phoenix among the people, and now he said that he will be crowned a marquis after making military achievements. This...... This ...... Isn't this cheaper for the wild girl in the countryside? This...... How so? ”
Mrs. Lu also gritted her teeth and said, "You still say." When you went to the border that day, why didn't you go to see him in person? So much so that I also believed the rumors in the capital, and I actually delayed the splendid scenery. It's cheaper than that wild girl, and now I regret it, what should I do? ”
Lu Dongyun spread his hands and said, "How can you rely on me for this?" I'm just a businessman. How can I still go into the barracks? Where is it so easy to run into him outside? Besides, my sister didn't say that she wanted me to see it in person that day, but only said that after I came back, I said in front of my brother-in-law that Xiao Jiangbei looked ordinary, how did I know such a thing? ”
"What's the use of saying these things now?" Mrs. Lu sighed. Waving his hand, he said, "Let's not mention this stubble for now." Did you get my letter before? Have I asked you to find out? ”
"Investigate." Lu Dongyun put down the teacup, cleared his throat and said, "That family left Hangzhou five years ago, and now lives in Linchuan. It is true that one of his sons died at the age of five, but he was a young son, and there were two older brothers on the child's head, none of whom were married. It's just that their head of the family has long since died, and now there is a widowed mother living with two sons, the eldest of whom has just passed the Xiucai examination. The other second son is idle, and the family's original ancestral business has almost failed. Sister. Who is this family? What are you asking me to do with them? ”
"This matter is related to the life of Jinxiu, I told you, you must keep a secret." Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Dongyun, groaned, and said softly: "I was at the old lady's place that day, I just listened to a word, and when I turned around, I just inadvertently mentioned it to the master, and the master sent a sigh, so I knew the origin of the family's name." The boy you just said died at the age of five is the doll that the master ordered for the wild girl back then. If we can find a way to let the wild girl marry this family, we won't quit the Xiao family at that time, won't we put the splendid on the top? Once Jinxiu becomes the second young grandmother of Xiao Mansion, or even the future Mrs. Hou, you, as an uncle, have helped her a lot, can she not be grateful to you in her heart? You can calculate how much profit you will have in doing business and making money in the future. ”
As soon as Lu Dongyun heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly thought about it in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and said: "Look at what my sister said, that is, I am not profitable, that is my nephew's daughter, don't I help her as an uncle?" Do you want to help a wild girl who has no relatives and no reason? In the end, my sister could come up with such an idea. It's just that the boy died at the age of five, but how can this make the brother-in-law promise to give the wild girl to their family? The Xiao family is afraid that it will not be easy to explain. ”
Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What to do, I already have some plans." I just need you to help me run my legs. Don't forget, you must find a henchman to do this, or you just help me run this trip yourself, I really can't rest assured of others. ”
Lu Dongyun patted his chest and said, "This sister can rest assured, since you say so, I will personally go to Linchuan for a trip." ”
Mrs. Lu smiled: "So, in the end, it's still a family, if it's someone else, where is it willing to be so enthusiastic?" Come here, I'll teach you what to do. ”
Lu Dongyun hurriedly stepped forward, and Mrs. Lu lowered her voice and said something, only to hear Lu Dongyun's eyes getting bigger and brighter, until Mrs. Lu finished speaking, he couldn't come back to his senses immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that her cousin didn't react, Mrs. Lu frowned and asked, and before the words fell, she saw that Lu Dongyun jumped up suddenly, stretched out her thumb and praised sincerely: "Sister is really a female Zhuge , such an idea, how can you come up with it?" Hehe, let you say this, this thing is guaranteed to be done. Don't say that the brother-in-law and the other party may not say that they are dead, that is, they are dead, now that more than ten years have passed, I don't believe that my brother-in-law can still remember word for word, not to mention that if you recreate such a thing, it will be foolproof. As for the family, hehe, the head of the family is dead, what can happen to the widow and the two sons left? It's not what do we say, how do they listen? A showman, who can climb to the daughter of the five-grade official in the capital, this is their ancestral tomb is smoking, can they still be willing? ”
Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea and said with a leisurely smile: "That's what I said." As for the eldest girl, hehe, she is just a country girl with a mother, if it is not the daughter of the master, which show is willing to want her? Not to mention that there will be a master to help him in the future, maybe this show can still be a man. ”
What happened to Gu Qiluo, Lu Dongyun didn't care at all. He only cares about whether his sister and niece's daughter can soar and make a fortune by himself. After understanding Mrs. Lu's plan, he stood up and said, "Without further ado, I'll go back first, and I'll do this in two days." ”
Mrs. Lu smiled: "Don't be in such a hurry, you just returned to Beijing from outside, and you should also get together with your younger siblings and children." It's not too late to wait for the New Year to do this. ”
Lu Dongyun said: "There are many dreams at night, I'd better do it as soon as possible, what is the year?" This year, though, will be able to pass next year. ”
Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with the positive attitude of this brother, so she personally entered the back room, and after a while, she came out with a money bag in her hand, handed it to Lu Dongyun and said: "It's not easy for you to do business, here is twenty taels of silver, my private money, your brother-in-law doesn't know, you take it back and pull some fabric for your younger siblings and children to make a New Year's dress, and then buy some food." ”
"How can this be embarrassing to let my sister break the bank again?" Lu Dongyun smiled and took the silver, he is a businessman, and the money in the family may not be less than that of the Gu Mansion, but it is cheaper, and of course he must take advantage of it, not to mention that he does things for this sister, even if he pays for errands, he should also give a few.
Immediately said goodbye and left, here Mrs. Lu sat on the couch and planned for a long time, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said to herself: "Hehe, do you think your marriage must be smooth?" Wait, and make you happy for a few more days, and in the end, I'll make your bamboo basket empty. (To be continued......)
PS: Roar, roar, Mrs. Lu finally shot the bird, of course, the final ending is stupid, not to mention that everyone understands.
