Chapter 40: The Knot of the Heart

Pei Yuan sent Lu Qinghuan to the Lu Mansion, and Lu Jinyan personally greeted him when he heard the news, but when he saw Lu Qinghuan, the smile on his face stiffened a little, and then he pretended to care for a few words.

Taking advantage of Lu Yu's strict reception of Pei Yuan, he had no time to take care of himself, so Lu Qinghuan sneaked back to his Qinghuan Pavilion.

Before approaching Qinghuan Pavilion, he saw the rosary standing at the gate of the courtyard with a lantern from a distance, and when he saw Lu Qinghuan's figure, the rosary hurriedly turned around happily to call Gui Niang and Gui Bao, and then greeted him.

Although the rosary was wearing a thick winter jacket, she stood outside for a long time, and her hands and feet were a little numb at this time, she trotted close to Lu Qinghuan, and almost slipped a few times after a short distance.

Even so, she still had a happy smile on her face, "Lady, you're back!" ”

Lu Qinghuan saw that the tip of her nose and cheeks were red from the cold, and her hands were even more blown by the wind, and she smiled a little unwillingly: "Silly girl, what are you waiting for me outside?" ”

As he spoke, he took her hand and walked towards the courtyard together.

"The lady hasn't eaten yet, has she?" Gui Niang walked over from under the eaves, stuffed Lu Qinghuan with a hand stove wrapped in brocade velvet, and carefully touched her hand, and said distressedly: "Why are the lady's hands so cold?" Hurry up and get inside! ”

Feeling the warm stove with ironing in the palm of his hand, Lu Qing smiled, "Gui Niang, your hands are much colder than mine!" ”

Falling behind was Gui Bao, her legs were not yet neat, and she was still a little staggering when she walked, she slowly walked to Lu Qinghuan's side, and draped a thick piece of cloth in her hand on Lu Qinghuan's shoulders, "Lady, hurry up and enter the house......"

Lu Qinghuan only felt a weight on his body, followed by a strong warmth and an elegant fragrance. Presumably, this big dan has been baked on the smoker cage before, so as not to bring cold when wearing it, I didn't expect Gui Bao to be so careful!

I was about to thank her, but when I heard Gui Bao cover his mouth and cough lightly twice, Lu Qinghuan frowned and said, "Gui Bao, your injury is not healed, don't come out to blow the wind, you catch a cold again!" ”

"It doesn't matter lady, the maid's injury is almost healed!" Gui Bao hung his head, looked low and pleasing to the eyes, and said cautiously: "A-Niang burned the earth dragon early, the room is warm at this time, Niang go into the house quickly!" ”

There was a warm hand stove in his hand, and there was a heavy stove on his body, so that Lu Qinghuan didn't feel a chill. She grew up in an orphanage since she was a child, and she didn't enjoy too much family affection, and since Ah Li left, she was even more uncaring, but now from the three of them, she has experienced a long-lost sense of warmth.

She rubbed her eyes, pretended to be blinded by the wind, and shouted: "Come into the house quickly, Gui Niang, I'm so hungry!" ”

"Lady wait, the maid will go to serve the meal immediately!" With that, Gui Niang turned around and went into the small kitchen.

And the rosary and Gui Bao were on the left and right, accompanied by Lu Qinghuan into the main house, and the three of them walked away, and the rosary asked about Xiao Dalang's case.

Gui Bao was unable to move, walked slowly, and fell behind the two of them in three or two steps, listening to the conversation with Lu Qinghuan with a smile on the rosary, she lowered her head a little sourly.

She grew up in Lu Mansion since she was a child, and when she was ten years old, she was assigned to Lu Qinghuan from the laundry room by the Lin family, except for accompanying Lu Qinghuan to the Sacred Heart Nunnery, she almost never went out of the Lu Mansion, and the previous murder case in the Sacred Heart Nunnery was injured because of her, and she only heard a few words from Gui Niang, who knew very little, and later although there was a rosary to describe it vividly, but in the end it was not a personal experience, at most it could only be used as a book to listen to.

Today, the rosary accompanied Lu Qinghuan out again, and it must be a lie to say that she was not envious, but she knew that she was introverted and weak, and she couldn't help Lu Qinghuan at all, and even when the two talked about it, she couldn't interject...... So when Rosary asked Lu Qinghuan about the case, she just lowered her head silently, pretending not to care about this matter.

Although he didn't care about it on the surface, his ears kept paying attention to the conversation between Lu Qinghuan and the rosary. Gui Bao picked up the copper skewer from the desk and played with the charcoal fire, while listening to the rosary and Lu Qinghuan chatting with envy, not wanting to be absent-minded, the back of her hand touched the burned incense burner, and suddenly a burning pain came, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Why was it so careless?" Lu Qinghuan, who heard the movement, looked up, and saw that the back of Gui Bao's hand was red, and he couldn't help frowning together-this season burns his hands, it's not easy to get better, and it's easy to get frostbite!

Gui Bao saw Lu Qinghuan frowning, the smile on his face faded, his eyes suddenly turned red, he silently put down the copper stick in his hand, and lowered his head very aggrievedly, "Lady, I'm sorry...... The maid didn't mean it......" Before she finished speaking, the tears fell first, falling into the smoke cage burning with red incense charcoal, making a "zi" sound, she bit her lip, turned around and ran out of the room, and even bumped into Gui Niang, who entered the door with food, and did not notice.

Gui Bao's love changed too suddenly, and Lu Qinghuan, who had always been relatively rough about emotions, couldn't react for a while, and looked at the same unaware rosary in confusion, "She...... What's going on? She recalled herself carefully, and she didn't seem to offend this sensitive little girl, why was she so aggrieved and sad all of a sudden?

The rosary shook her head in confusion, "Don't worry, lady, go and take a look." ”

Lu Qinghuan nodded, and suddenly remembered that Helan Xuanyi had given her a box of pills to treat burns during the day, and quickly took it out of her arms and handed it to the rosary, "You put this on for her, if you get burned in this season, I'm afraid that you will get frostbite!" I asked Helan if there was any ointment to prevent chilblains! ”

The rosary nodded quickly and walked out with the pill.

Gui Niang saw this scene in her eyes, and was very moved by Lu Qinghuan's sympathetic behavior, but as long as she thought of her sensitive daughter, she was worried that she would meet Lu Qinghuan in the long run. She sighed secretly, and while preparing vegetables for Lu Qinghuan, she tried to say a few good words for Gui Bao: "The lady is so considerate to Gui Bao, but she is so ignorant, I just ask the lady not to worry about her......"

Lu Qinghuan didn't understand Gui Niang's words at first, but when she carefully recalled her relationship with Gui Niang and the others, she instantly understood why Gui Niang and Gui Bao were so afraid of herself. Gui Niang and Gui Bao used to be just rough maids, and after the death of Cui's nurse beside Lu Qinghuan, the Lin family transferred the mother and daughter to her. Lu Qinghuan has always been very coquettish, and he is not kind to his subordinates, although he is not beaten and scolded, but his attitude is by no means good. As for the rosary, Xu is because the rosary was originally chosen by Lu Qinghuan herself, so she has always been more loved by her, and the master and servant are intimate. Gui Bao has been like the shadow of the two of them all these years, and he has not been favored by Lu Qinghuan.
