Lu Ran snorted, with a smile in his eyes, thought about it, and said jokingly: "My personality is not very good, did Sun Ping tell you?" ”

Tan Sanniang shook her head nonchalantly: "He only said that the magistrate of Huai'an County wanted to recruit a female guard with real skills for his sister, but he didn't say what your temperament was." I inquired, and Lu Zhixian has a good reputation among the people. After a pause, Tan Sanniang glanced at Lu Ran up and down again, nodded to herself, and said, "I see that you have a good temperament, better than I originally thought." ”

"I don't know what to say." The corners of Lu Ran's eyes were lightly raised, the smile on his face spread, and there was a bit of joking in his tone, "It's okay or not, you'll know in a few days." My words are here first, and if you regret it, I will not pay the money. ”

"The most important thing for people in the rivers and lakes is a letter." Tan Sanniang waved her hand disappreciatively, "Don't worry, since I should go, I will definitely not regret it halfway." ”

"That's what you said!" Lu Ran clapped his hands with a smile, motioned for Hongrui to step forward, and smiled at Tan Sanniang, "These are a few girls around me, Sanniang has something to do in the future, it's okay to find them." You should set your money at twenty taels this month, four days off a month, and usually live in this courtyard. I'll ask Hongrui to take you over to see the house in a while, and you can choose a room that you like. ”

After a pause, thinking of Sun Ping's words, Lu Ran asked with a smile, "It just so happens that the eldest brother is Xiu Mu today, Sanniang, do you want to go to the outer courtyard to meet my eldest brother first, or look at the house first?" ”

"I'll go see Lu Zhixian first." Tan Sanniang stood up decisively and arched her hand towards Lu Ran, followed Yinyue, and strode to the outer study to find Lu Yu. But after more than a quarter of an hour, Tan Sanniang turned back with Yinyue, led by Hongrui to the wing room outside the inner courtyard and picked a room at random, and then went into the inner courtyard to say goodbye to Lu Ran and went back.

Hongrui sent Tan Sanniang out of the door with a smile, and then turned back to the inner courtyard and smiled with Lu Ran: "Sanniang's temperament is really invisible!" Fang Cai also asked me if the uncle and the girl were brother and sister, and said that the uncle ......" Hongrui paused for a moment, and the smile in her eyes was thicker, "It looks gentle, but in fact it is cold, according to her master's words, the uncle is a master who hides a knife in his smile." At that time, Wei Ping was still there, and Sanniang still spoke calmly, which made people cry and laugh. Just now I passed by the outer courtyard, and the uncle also asked Wei Ping to pass the word, saying that Sanniang is available, so that the girl can rest assured. ”

"People in the rivers and lakes, after all, her temperament is more refreshing, and I also like her ease and calmness." Lu Ran nodded with a smile, sighed faintly, took a sip of tea slowly with a teacup, and looked at the dense plane trees in the yard with his eyes, but his thoughts slowly drifted away. In her last life, she lived so calmly and happily, and the days of such wanton flying always made people nostalgic......

Hongrui watched Lu Ran inexplicably stunned from the side, shook her head with a smile, cleaned up the teacup on the stone table with Yinyue and a few others, handed it to the little girl waiting outside to wash, and turned back to see that Lu Ran's teacup was empty, so she stepped forward with a smile and gently pushed Lu Ran: "Girl? The girl in the study came to pass the word, saying that the uncle was going out in a while, and he was afraid that he would come back late at noon, so the uncle explained, so that the girl didn't have to wait for him. ”

Lu Ran snorted, his thoughts retracted, he looked down at the empty teacup in his hand, and laughed himself, "I know." Big brother said where did you go? ”

"Not really." Hongrui shook her head, turned around and changed a cup of fruit tea for Lu Ran.

Contrary to the quiet and tranquil Luoxia Courtyard, there are chickens flying and dogs jumping in the Lu Mansion at this time, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and there is chaos.

Mrs. Qin Er lay down in front of Lu Er, who had a broken leg and was covered with bruises, she was angry and distressed, seeing Lu Er screaming in pain, Mrs. Qin's heart was also tingling, and she was still burning with anger, crying and angrily reprimanding the mother-in-law who was in charge of the yard.

Lu Er was shocked by the reprimand, and Mrs. Qin Er was so distressed that she burst into tears, and she was busy and softly comforting Lu Er. Seeing the girl in the yard watching the excitement and crying, the second wife of Qin was burning with anger in her eyes, and she turned her head and scolded the people in the courtyard: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't go to the doctor yet! ”。 A group of girls in the yard hurriedly agreed to run around, either you stepped on me or I stepped on you, and it was a mess.

Second Mrs. Qin was so angry that the green tendons on her forehead burst out, and before she could open her mouth to train people, Wei Xu, who was originally watching coldly from outside the crowd, stepped forward, reluctantly arched her hand towards Second Mrs. Qin, and passed Lu Yu's words word for word in front of a courtyard of people: "Our uncle said, please ask the second wife to discipline her children." If there is a next time, it will be as simple as breaking a leg! ”

"You-" Second Mrs. Qin's face turned blue, her eyes were full of anger, her fingers trembled and pointed at Wei Xu, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Wei Xu glanced at Second Mrs. Qin calmly, without hiding the sarcasm in her eyes at all, but politely bowed on her face, and continued: "Our girl also asked me to bring a few words, which can be regarded as a thank you gift to Second Wife." The girl said that the second master was doing business outside all year round, and the time spent in the house was also less, I am afraid that the second wife did not know, the second master had already bought a house in Shiting County, and I heard that it cost more than 1,000 taels of silver, and bought a lot of maids and slaves, and it must be very good to come to that house. If the second wife is free, it is better to go to Shiting County to have a look. ”

After saying that, Wei Xu didn't care about Second Mrs. Qin's pale face, arched his hand, and calmly bypassed the crowd and walked out of the gate of the Lu Mansion.

In the courtyard, Lu Er was still wailing, and the maids and women were holding their breath, looking at each other, wanting to move but not daring to move. Second Mrs. Qin stood in the middle of the courtyard with a white face, stunned for a moment, turned her head sharply and pulled Hong Xing's hair, and scolded like crazy with red eyes: "Shameless bitch, I'll kill you......"

Hongxing was hurt and aggrieved, and only followed the words of Second Mrs. Qin and begged for mercy again and again. Second Mrs. Qin saw that Hongxing was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and her heart added a fire, and she raised her hand and gave Hongxing a slap. Hongxing covered her face, sobbing and being hit and kicked by Mrs. Qin's hands, crying until she was weak and exhausted.

The people in the courtyard watched this scene dumbfounded, and they were all dumbfounded.

At the beginning of noon, Wei Xu returned to Luoxia Courtyard and went to the inner courtyard to talk back to Lu Ran. When Lu Ran heard the wonderful scene of the Lu Mansion, he clapped his hands with laughter. It's a bad breath! If Second Mrs. Qin didn't come to fight her idea, she wouldn't have time to pay attention to the pickled matter in the Lu Mansion. But since this second aunt dares to calculate her, she naturally has to pay her back well. In the future, let Second Mrs. Qin and Second Master Lu make trouble on their own! It's a pity that she didn't see such a lively scene in person.

Thinking about it, Lu Ran sighed regretfully, leaned back on the rattan chair, looked at the bright autumn colors outside the courtyard with bright eyes, and smiled lightly between his eyebrows. The day after tomorrow is the cultural meeting, and there is also a drinking party, so it's time to prepare.
