Chapter 217: Dilemma
Just leave, Zhao and Mrs. Lu are not procrastinators, even if they send housekeepers from various prefectures and four entourages, they went to the west of the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Shi looked at her mother and didn't even leave her a chance to refute, so she had to swallow back the words that had come to her mouth.
She comforted herself in her heart and said that she was too careful.
The visitor was a guest, although this guest was obviously here to provoke, and the Zhao family did not want to ask others to find out her fault in the future, so he did not neglect the mother and daughter of the Lu family.
After all, the matter is still undecided, and it is not too ugly to make a fuss.
Ye's heart was very anxious, seeing Zhao like this, she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only sit there stiffly, but her mind had already followed Luo Zhong to the west of the city.
Therefore, when Zhao mentioned her, he agreed rather perfunctorily.
Xiao Zhao's eyes rolled, and after thinking about it, he didn't say anything that was out of his identity.
But God knows how hard she is enduring now!
She looked at Zhao's meaning, she didn't believe that Luo Qingchen would beat people, she knew that this was because Zhao had always valued Luo Qingchen.
She thought to herself, this is fine, isn't there a saying that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Just asked Zhao to take a look, she thought that Luo Qingchen, who could be called a model for the juniors of the Luo family, turned out to be a gentleman who was not in tune!
In this way, the Zhao family will shift her mind to her sister-in-law, Luo Wenyu.
I have to say that Xiao Zhao's little abacus is really loud enough.
However, it is difficult to say whether this matter can be as she wishes in the end, and everything will have to wait for Luo Zhong and them to come back.
Besides, Luo Zhong and the housekeeper of Lufu, the two of them were ordered by their own masters to go out of Luofu, Luo Zhong was considered the master's house, so they arranged a sedan chair, and the housekeeper of Lufu did not shirk, and got on the sedan chair, and when the two of them were seated, the sedan chair man carried the sedan chair to the west of the city.
At that time, the heavy rain did not stop, and there were no pedestrians on the street, only a group of them, caries in the rain and fog.
Because of the heavy rain, the sedan chair driver walked a little slower than usual, and stayed in the west of the city, it has been more than half an hour.
Luo Zhong and the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion got off the sedan chair separately, and the entourage around them held up umbrellas for the two, and the two walked forward together.
Soon, they arrived at the destination of their trip, the slum west of the city.
As soon as I entered this area, I felt that it was different from what I had just done.
The terrain here is much lower than the outside of the alley, and there are potholes everywhere, and the roads are muddy due to rainwater.
In the open space to the west, they saw Meng Zhong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Yin Yaoxuan, the commander of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and the butler of the Lu Mansion who were not slacking off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two.
Yao Xuan waited for someone to get closer, and only then did he see who was coming, and when he saw that it was the two of them, he secretly said something bad in his heart at the moment, and he had to pretend not to know on his face.
"It's raining heavily, why did the two housekeepers come here together?"
Looking at Meng Zhong next to him, although he didn't ask a question, his expression was almost the same as him, and he stared at the two people in front of him with some "unknown reasons".
The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion was not very familiar with the two of them, so he was not easy to talk rashly, so he only stood aside with his sleeves folded, and his expression was respectful.
Luo Zhong and these two people are extremely familiar, they have known each other for many years, just in order not to cause trouble to the two of them, he did not show how close he was to the two of them, only respectfully, briefly and methodically told the instructions of Zhao and Mrs. Lu.
Yao Xuan said in his heart after hearing this, and as expected, he turned his head and glanced at Meng Zhong, and saw Meng Zhong raising his eyebrows slightly at him, which meant that it was like saying: This is troublesome.
Yao Xuan sighed secretly, isn't it troublesome.
He knew it couldn't just be over.
According to Lu Xingzhong's domineering temperament, if he suffers a loss, can he go back to be a dumb man?
However, he thought that before Lu Xingzhong left, he told him that he had the emperor's order today, and he should not be delayed, and he should be a little restrained, but he didn't expect that he was a master who didn't care about it and didn't hesitate!
Yao Xuan and Meng Zhong were secretly scratching their heads here, and they didn't know how to say this.
Let's tell the truth, I will definitely offend the Lu family.
The Lu family has nothing to fear now, Lu Xingzhong's grandfather is long gone, the family is gradually declining, and Master Lu has gone early, only Mrs. Lu is left to lead Lu Xingzhong, orphans and widows, naturally there is nothing to fear.
However, because of the relationship between the Lu family, there is a big tree like the Li family behind his family, and in today's Huajing City, there are really few people who dare to blatantly offend their family.
But if you speak against your will, this matter involves Luo Qingchen.
Who is Luo Qingchen's son? That is the eldest son of their close friend Luo Zheng, they are reasonable, they will not and should not help outsiders bully their sons and nephews!
It was precisely because of these concerns that the two of them were extremely entangled for a while, and some did not know what to do.
Luo Zhong, as the chief steward of a noble family like Luofu, did not bear this name in vain, and the stakes in this matter, he was like a mirror in his heart, so he naturally would not deliberately embarrass Meng Zhong and Yao Xuan.
This can be seen from the fact that he did not show great enthusiasm when he saw the two of them just now.
He didn't want to involve the two adults in this matter and force them to give any proof, and with the status of the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, he naturally didn't want to ask the two adults like this, so things would be much easier, as long as he found a few people to bring to Luo Mansion to reply.
However, when he came just now, he didn't see a few people outside, and he didn't see the figure of the eldest young master.
After thinking about it, Luo Zhong asked, "I wonder if the two adults have ever seen my eldest young master?" ”
"Qingchen, he just came back, and now he's helping to clean up in that family." Yao Xuan pointed to a burrow not far in front of him and said.
"Thank you Lord Yao for your guidance, then the slave will go to find the eldest young master first, and don't delay the two adults to work."
With that, he bowed his hand and saluted Meng Zhong and Yao Xuan.
Meng Zhong and Yao Xuan both replied, "Don't delay, you're welcome," and waved their hands and asked him to go first.
When the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion saw that Luo Zhong was leaving, he hurriedly saluted Meng Zhong and Yao Xuan, and followed Luo Zhong away.
Yao Xuan looked at the backs of the two of them and whispered to Meng Zhong, "What does Brother Meng think of this?" ”
Meng Zhong knew that he was asking about whether he wanted to come out or not, and he didn't want to make a promise first, so he asked rhetorically, "What is the plan of the minister?" ”
What he called was Yao Xuan's words.
Yao Xuan was stunned by his rhetorical question, how could this rough man know to be cautious today? (To be continued.) )
