016 Lord's taboo
"By the way, Miss, Steward Feng is here, and the leader is cleaning up the small kitchen for us, and he also sent two mothers-in-law, a few rough maids and a few little maids. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The two laughed for a long time, and Pearl finally remembered what was going on.
"Oh, let's get someone in."
Steward Feng? is in charge of all the property of the Lu Mansion, and he is the right-hand man of his father Lu Yuan, and I heard that he is also a special person in the Lu Mansion.
Pearl didn't have much to do when she went out, and soon a middle-aged man in his forties came in.
The man saw Lin Yixue saluting respectfully, "The old slave has seen the eldest lady." ”
This person is Feng Quan, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, and in the past few days since he returned to the house, this is the third time Lin Yixue has seen him, but every time he glances at him in a hurry, and he doesn't have time to speak.
"Uncle Quan, please get up quickly." Lin Yixue hurriedly helped the person up.
Although Lin Yixue didn't know much about Steward Feng, she could see that this person was very shrewd, sleek, and had an unshakable position in the Lu Mansion.
Yesterday's incident, since Lu Ming came out of the Drifting Snow Pavilion, he met Steward Feng first, and then Steward Feng led him to find Lu Yuan.
So from this point of view, this Feng Quan is definitely not Aunt Qin's person, and this alone is enough to make Lin Yixue look at him differently.
"The old slave in the small kitchen has ordered someone to clean it up.
I'm afraid that the eldest lady won't be used to the taste of Shengjing, these two cooks are people brought by the old slave from our hometown in Jicheng, and the food skills are good, especially good at the dishes of our Jicheng side. ”
"It's very thoughtful, so Uncle Quan bothered!"
"And yesterday's incident, thank you so much Uncle Quan." After a pause, Lin Yixue sincerely thanked.
"The eldest lady has tormented the old slave, these are what the old slave should do, compared to the kindness of the lady at the beginning, what the old slave did is simply too insignificant."
Steward Feng's eyes were filled with tears, full of memories of the past.
"Mother's kindness?" Lin Yixue asked suspiciously.
"I think that the old slave was still a nameless little guy in the Lu Mansion, and the widowed mother was seriously ill and had no relatives, so she couldn't take out the silver taels for treatment.
In the end, it was the lady who rewarded the old slave with fifty taels of silver, so that the old mother could be saved, and she lived for more than ten years, and the old slave will never forget this kindness.
The old slave still remembers the scene when the eldest lady was a child, chasing the old slave all day long to ask for osmanthus cakes to eat.
So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, the lady is gone, the young lady has grown up, and the slave is also old. ”
Lin Yixue never thought that Mother Lu still had this kindness to Steward Feng in the past, and Lu Yixue herself seemed to have a good relationship with Steward Feng before.
It seems that she has really made a lot of money today, and with the help of Steward Feng in the future, it will be much more convenient for her to mix in the Lu Mansion in the future, at least not to be as black as she is now.
"Steward Feng, our young lady accidentally injured her head on the way back to Beijing, and she can't remember the previous things, so there are some things that have to trouble Steward Feng to be more considerate."
Seeing this scene, Pearl hurriedly smiled and came over to explain to Lin Yixue.
"The old slave knows, the old slave knows. It was the old slave who failed to take care of the lady and did not take good care of the young lady. ”
"The maids, mothers-in-law, and little maids sent this time have all been carefully inspected by the old slaves, and they are all clean people, so the young lady can use them with confidence."
"And those two mothers-in-law have made good soup, in fact, Mrs. also liked to drink soup when she was young." Steward Feng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile.
Madam? …… Soup?!
When Lin Yixue heard this, she chuckled in her heart.
She quickly remembered the two bowls of soup the night before, could there really be any connection between them?
What is Steward Feng hinting at to himself?
"Uncle Quan, what kind of illness did my mother have back then? How did he die? Lin Yixue didn't think much about it and blurted out.
"Oh......, the old man also arranged other things for the old slave, and the old slave retired first."
Steward Feng smiled bitterly, did not answer Lin Yixue's question, got up and took his leave.
"Just now, the old slave talked a lot, and Miss Harm missed Mrs. again, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive the eldest lady."
It seems that Steward Feng is reluctant to mention his mother's illness, is there some unspeakable addiction.
You can't rush everything, Lin Yixue saw that Steward Feng was a little embarrassed, so she didn't keep asking.
In the evening, the Drifting Snow Pavilion
"Miss, the slave maid inquired about several old people in the house, but as soon as they heard that it was about Madame, they all kept silent and walked away silently.
In the end, only Mrs. Li, who guarded the second gate, took five taels of silver from the slave and maid, and revealed it to the slave and maid vaguely.
said that for so many years, Mrs. is a taboo for the master, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone in the house to mention it, let alone talk about Mrs. privately.
If anyone violates the rules, they will be immediately expelled from the Lu Mansion.
Therefore, yesterday, the second lady said in front of so many people that Mrs. was not, and the master was furious! ”
In the evening, after Pearl was busy, he was reporting his results to Lin Yixue.
"Oh...... so much about my mother's business, my father really shut it up." Lin Yixue groaned for a moment and said softly.
Mrs. Li also said that there are almost no old people who have waited for their wives in the house, and most of them stay in the old house in Sucheng, and some have been sent back to their hometowns. Madame's relics were sealed by the lord many years ago, and no one was allowed to approach. ”
It seems that there really is something hidden? No, you'll have to take care of it later! Lin Yixue thought silently in her heart.
"Well, I see, you go down!"
"Yes," Pearl whispered, turning and going out.
What is the purpose of sealing things up and not allowing people to talk about them?
Is it because he has too deep feelings for his mother and is unwilling to see things and think about people, or is it something else?
That mother's death may have something to do with those soups, does he know it?
At first, Lin Yixue also thought that Lu Yuan might really have a deep affection for his mother, and he was unwilling to see things and think about people.
But from the news she got in the past few days, it seems that things are not as simple as they seem.
She and Lu Yishuang are obviously only half a year apart, which means that as soon as her mother became pregnant, Lu Yuan couldn't bear the loneliness and accepted her cousin Qin Fang as a concubine. Leaving his pregnant wife alone in the empty room all night, he and other women chirp me and me every day, you and me.
If this is true love, Lin Yixue who killed her doesn't believe it.
The beautiful women in the house are like clouds, sitting on beautiful wives and concubines, this is a true portrayal of ancient men.
Lin Yixue felt a deep sadness for the women of this era, especially her mother.
A woman is in her youth, and her true feelings are wrong, so that after her death, the man she loved all her life did not even protect her only daughter, which gave her an opportunity to pass through and be reborn.
No, since he occupies someone else's body, he must fulfill his daughter's obligations and must find out the reason for Lu's mother's death.
There are no old people in the house, I don't think so, isn't it just the red sleeves?
