Chapter 27: Doubts
Rong Zheng went back to the room and changed into a set of half-old lake-green plain noodle gowns, took a child, brought perilla, and went to the flower hall to wait for Xiao Lu.
It didn't take long for Xiao Lu to come over.
He first saluted Rong Zheng and said goodbye.
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "How have you been learning from your master recently?" ”
Xiao Lu replied with a smile: "Master also let the little Zama step practice basic skills." Said to teach me a set of boxing techniques in a few days. ”
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Then don't live up to your master's expectations, study hard." Also let your mother like to like. ”
Xiao Lu replied with a red face, and then said his intentions: "The person we saved last night is now arranged by the master in the courtyard of Xinghua Lane. Master said that he was afraid that this person would have any evil intentions when he approached us, so we had to observe and observe first. Also, I'm afraid that the young lady will ask, so I have a reply. ”
Rong Zheng almost forgot about this, and hurriedly said: "Your master has done a good job." By the way, what about that person now? ”
Xiao Lu replied: "I was soaked in the biting river water last night, and I am already sick. The little one has already asked someone to call a doctor to see him. Looks like he drank a lot of wine last night when he fell into the water, and he ...... excited."
"What maybe?" Rong Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Lu smiled: "There are still some things I haven't asked him, I think a little, maybe something happened to that person." ”
Rong Zheng said: "You find a way to find out the details of this person and then sue me." ”
Xiao Lu answered yes. Rong Zheng retreated without other instructions. When he was going back, he met his mother on the way.
Xiao Wang asked him what was the matter when he came in, Xiao Lu said what Hui Rong Zheng said, Xiao Wang frowned and said: "What is not a product, I will come back to report it without inquiring clearly." ”
Xiao Lu was scolded by his mother like this, sobered up a little, and said respectfully: "My mother has to teach me a lesson, and my son only learns to be an errand, which is a little inappropriate." ”
"Bastard stuff, no one is born with it. In the future, I will learn slowly. ”
Xiao Wang reprimanded two more sentences, and Xiao Lu said goodbye.
Xiao Lu had no choice but to go back to Xinghua Lane. This place was the wife's dowry, and now it is managed by the companion room, and naturally it will also be Rongzheng's industry in the future.
"Are people awake? Have you taken any medicine? ”
The person in charge of the care was a boy under the age of ten named Huaizi.
Huaizi hurriedly got up and smiled: "Brother Lu, he has woken up." The medicine is still frying. ”
Xiao Lu didn't ask any more, and went straight to the west wing where the man was settled.
He looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, skinny and small, like a monkey. When he was rescued from the river last night, he was dressed in heavy patches, and the old cotton clothes that could not be seen in color had been replaced. Xiao Lu asked Huaizi to find him clean clothes to wear again.
When the man saw Xiao Lu coming in, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu nodded and said, "You are not good, just sit down." He moved a chair and sat down in front of the man.
"Where are you from?"
"Uncle Hui, the youngest one is a native of Tongxu Lizhuang, surnamed Lei. There is only one widow in the family, and my sister got married early. ”
Xiao Lu glanced at him with a flat face, nodded, and there was still some doubt in his eyes.
"How did you fall overboard?"
"The little one drank a lot of wine, and when he was squeezed, he fell into the river." Lei remembered something and immediately kowtowed to Xiao Lu: "Engong, I am grateful to the little one." If it weren't for Engong to save the little one's life, I'm afraid that the little one would have died in the river a long time ago. ”
"Is there a name?"
Lei Bo lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "The little one is called Lei Bo." ”
Xiao Lu said: "Okay, you can stay here for another night." I'll be back early tomorrow morning. He had to check some things, for fear that Rong Zheng would ask without an answer.
Lei Bo's expression was a little dazed, and Xiao Lu was about to get up. Lei Bo suddenly knelt down again, already pleading with a pleading face.
"Uncle, you are a small benefactor. The little ones can't be rewarded, if you look down on the little ones, let the little ones serve you by your side. ”
Xiao Lu was at a loss now, he was just an errand boy in the outer courtyard of the Rong family, how could he dare to raise another one to serve by himself, and frowned: "It's not appropriate, I'm afraid that our young lady won't be able to pay the errand." ”
Lei Bo is such a smart person, so he kowtowed to Xiao Lu and said, "Then please ask the eldest brother to say a few kind words for me in front of the young lady, and let the young lady enjoy a small bowl of rice to eat." The little ones have no way out. ”
Xiao Lu thought that they had saved a trouble. originally thought that there was nothing suspicious about this Lei Bo, so he sent him away, but he didn't think that he would be relied on. The person in front of him was full of suspicions, and he didn't dare to rashly bring Lei Bo to Rong Zheng, so he said, "I'll go and ask Miss." ”
He opened the door and went straight out.
Huaizi was still boiling medicine for Lei Bo under the corridor, Xiao Lu called him aside and told him softly: "Keep an eye on it, report to me immediately if there is any situation." ”
"Brother Lu, don't worry." Huaizi is still full of childishness.
If Xiao Lu didn't dare to go back to Rong Zheng immediately, only such a little bit of news in his hand would definitely not be enough. In desperation, he had no choice but to go to his master.
"Master, that person in Xinghua Lane wants to ask the third lady to find him an errand."
Luo Liang was a little surprised, but his face was not obvious, and he said in a muffled voice: "You have to find a way to find out his details." I don't know what happened to you in the future, I see how you explain it to Miss. ”
Xiao Lu was naturally a slippery head, pulled Luo Liang and said with a smile: "The master has taught him a lesson, so the apprentice wants to come to ask the master for instructions." Let's see if I should send someone to Tongxu to inquire, this person has a lot of suspicions, and I have to find a way to find out. Otherwise, the third lady will blame her, and I am afraid that the master will be implicated. ”
Luo Liang knocked on his head and said, "You are obedient, since you know what to do, you still come to ask me what to do." ”
Xiao Lu smiled even sweeter: "There is no one to do things around the apprentice, so I want to borrow two people from the master." ”
Luo Liang waved his hand and said, "Go!" Go! Go! You have brought the brass and hammer brothers. ”
Xiao Lu took the copper hammer and the iron hammer out of the door, and went straight to Tongxu.
The copper hammer and the iron hammer are the distant nephews of Mama Zhou, who accompanied Mama Zhou, and came to the house on an errand. Naturally, he is the person next to his wife, and Xiao Lu is the person next to the third lady. In addition, Xiao Lu has just entered the mansion, except for an insignificant Xiao Wang family, there is no foundation. In addition, Luo Liang accepted Xiao Lu as an apprentice, and he had long been envious, jealous and hateful, how did the brothers listen to his dispatch. Xiao Lu couldn't cry or laugh, and when he asked for directions and people, he personally inquired.
After tossing for a day and a night, Xiao Lu finally inquired about everything he should inquire. The group found a family in Lizhuang and promised dozens of copper coins, and everyone stayed for one night temporarily, preparing to return to Bianliang tomorrow morning.
Xiao Lu was anxious in his heart, something bad happened, that Lei Bo lied to him. But why would he lie to him, what is his true identity, Xiao Lu has a headache when he thinks about it.
