Lu thinks about it, and that's the truth.

When I was as old as Tong Xue, I knew that a girl in the house was good at tying paper kites, but I didn't pester her, so I drew many kites for myself!

So, he immediately assigned Pearl to take Tong Xue to recognize people.

Tong Xue said again, "Pearl is the big girl next to her mother, and she was so busy that Ah Jin flipped through the booklet in the house first, looked at it herself, and if she didn't understand anything, she would ask Pearl for advice." ”

Therefore, in this morning, she flipped through a thick booklet in a room specially ordered by the Lu family of the Rising Sun Hall to clean up, on which the names, positions, experiences, and characteristics of the two hundred and forty-eight people who served from the side of the Marquis of Dingyuan and the servants who were assigned to the Zhuangzi were recorded.

This booklet was obtained by Lu over the years of marriage, based on an extension of a roster of servants in the house, and the person responsible for recording it was Pearl.

Because of Lu's attitude, the Rising Sun Hall, led by Dong's mother, actually didn't have much idea about Tong Xuexue's family, and just wanted to have fun for her.

Who knows, Tong Xue actually sat all morning, spread out the pen and paper, and recorded something from time to time.

In the evening, after having dinner with Tong Jingxuan Lu, Tong Xue returned to the Hanmei Pavilion and called Cai Lan to him.

"Girl, the slave has inquired about the matters related to pearls."

Tong Xue nodded, took out a piece of paper first, and showed it to Cai Lan.

Cai Lan looked at the record and couldn't help but be surprised, "The slave maid has been inquiring about these news for two days, but the girl has never been out of the house, how can she know so clearly?" ”

Tong Xue smiled slightly, "This is all the credit of pearls." ”

Then he asked her, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

Cai Lan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "The slave maid heard that Madame plans to marry the pearl to Lu Fang, the youngest son of Lu Er's steward.

Hearing this, Tong Xue walked to the table and added a pen to the white paper.

Seeing her stop, Cai Lan continued, "Lu Fang works as a bookkeeper in the gold shop where his wife married. When the slave went out to inquire about Lu Fang today, she happened to meet him coming out of a gambling house, and not only that, but before dinner, after coming out of the shop, he entered a pawnshop. ”

Is it possible that this Lu Fang lost the gambling in the gambling hall and stole the things in the shop to go to the pawnshop?

"Inevitably alarming others, the slave and maid did not enter the pawnshop and ask him whether he was a thing or a ransom."

Tong Xue bowed, "You did the right thing." And he looked at her with concern,

These two days are exhausting, aren't you? Go down early and rest. ”

Cai Lan pursed her lips, "Running errands for the girl is what the slave and maid should do, and the slave and maid retire." ”

Early the next morning, Cai Lan was ordered to go out to follow Lu Fang, so after more than ten days, he probably figured out his whereabouts, went to the shop every morning, ate at noon, went to the gambling house, and before returning home in the afternoon, sometimes he would go to the pawnshop, and each time he went to a different shop. ”

Lu's body was gradually improving, and his complexion was much more ruddy than before.

Pearl is as dedicated as ever, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Except for this Lu Fang, there seems to be a trace of weirdness on his body.

On this day, Tong Xue, as usual, came to the Rising Sun Hall early to help Dong's mother deal with some trivial matters, and when she accompanied Lu's to lunch, Tong Xue thought of her sister Tong Shuang.

"Mother, Xiuxiu has lived with my grandmother for more than half a month, should I bring someone back?"

Lu sighed, "Why didn't my mother ask anyone to pick it up, but I didn't want to come back, and your grandmother felt that your Aunt He was lying in bed all day long and needed someone to accompany her to relieve her boredom, so she simply left Xiuxiu in the General's Mansion and didn't let her come back." ”

Tong Xue recalled Tong Shuang's expression that day, and always felt that there was something strange about Tong Shuang, but she didn't dare to relax in the house.

There is a grandmother in the General's Mansion in Weiyuan, and He Yongchan can't make a wave, and there will be no accidents if Xiuxiu stays in the General's Mansion.

The mother and daughter had just finished eating, and Pearl came to clean up the plates, and when she went out, a little girl called her.

Tong Xue's ears were sharp and she heard it.

I couldn't help but hold the teacup and listen to the reaction outside.

"Brother Fangzi has come to see my sister." The little girl laughed and joked about pearls.

Lu Fang actually came to the inner courtyard? Didn't come to say hello to your mother?

Tong Xue was thinking like this, and a girl came in to report that the bookkeeper of the gold shop came to deliver this month's account book.

This was originally the shopkeeper's thing, but the pearl and Lu Fang were personally agreed to marry by the Lu family, so the two of them also had less consideration in front of the Lu family, and Lu Yi grabbed the shopkeeper's work, so as to take a look at the pearl.

This was the first time Tong Xue had seen Lu Fang.

If the real person enters his name, he is a square-looking young man, about twenty-four or five years old, and his behavior is also decent, and he is extremely honest when he looks at it.

Lu ordered Dong's mother to take the account book, gossip with him for a few words, and then let Pearl lead him to the ear room for dinner and give them time alone.

Tong Xue drank a cup of tea, said goodbye to the Lu family, and returned to the Hanmei Pavilion to rest.

She took Cai Qing and specially chose a tortuous road as a walk to eat.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

Outside the Rising Sun Hall is a peach forest, and now the peach blossoms have emerged on the branches one by one, and it will be a scorching scene in about half a month.

Tong Xue specially took Cai Qing to the peach forest, originally with the idea of trying her luck, but she didn't expect to let her touch it.

Young men and women who have decided to marry always have something to say in private.

It's not good for others to hear this, you have to find a private place.

Now a barren peach grove is an excellent choice.

The two of them hid behind the thick trunk, and whatever they wanted to do, they were not easy to be discovered.

"Good pearl, you can lend me a hundred taels of silver first. I promise to pay you back next month! "A pleading voice should come from the land side.

"Even with interest! You said the same thing last month! All the monthly silver I have saved for five years has been handed over to you, and what is the result? This month, you have stepped up and borrowed a hundred taels! Is it that next month, you are going to find a way to sell me and make up two hundred taels? I'm afraid that if you really sell me, it's not worth the price! A female voice with a crying voice and full of anger, but had to lower her voice, came from the pearl.

It seems that these two people have been in conflict for a long time.

It's strange that this Lu Fang ran into the gambling house in the day, and it turned out that he used the private money saved by Pearl.

"Good pearl, you will borrow me this time, and there will be no next time. Three months later, we got married, and I also thought about taking this money to the gambling house to turn over the book and make a lot of money, so that you can marry into my Lu family in style! Good madam, you can help the prime minister! ”

"Whew! I'll go back and beg my wife to cut off this family business, marry someone like you, I don't want to be pure in my life! Pearl said as she broke free from Lu Fang's hand

The author should now be lying on his bed tired after a day's trek, or struggling to forage for food outside. Snickering.
