"What are you doing there, come here, this noodle is not delicious when it is cold, I got up early in the morning to make it!" Zhen'er roared and pulled Lu Yan to sit down at the table and stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.
"Do you remember......" Lu Xiwan held the chopsticks, looking at the longevity noodles in the bowl that were not very good-looking, her eyes were sour, and she said, it seems that since she was born, no one has remembered her birthday, when she was in Lu Mansion before, the maids and women never paid attention to it, she still had expectations at first, hoping that the father would remember her birthday, but then she slowly despaired, and even she almost forgot that day.
"I'm not like you, such an important day is naturally remembered, you just came here at this time last year, and we don't know each other very well, so I didn't bother to help you celebrate your birthday, this year naturally can't forget anything, don't be stupid, hurry up and eat noodles while it's hot, remember to eat a whole root, and you can't bite it off in the middle."
Zhen'er sat down next to Lu Yanwan and said with a light smile, Lu Yanwan obediently picked up the noodles with chopsticks and ate them slowly, as Zhen'er said, careful not to bite off the noodles, just a bowl of ordinary noodles, but it made her feel extraordinarily sweet.
Seeing that Lu Yan finished eating Shou Noodles in the evening, Zhen'er pushed the Shou Peach dim sum in front of her again, and said, "Try this Shou Peach Bun again, it's the first time I've made it, and I don't know if it's good or not." ”
Lu Yanwan actually doesn't like sweets very much, and besides, the bowl of longevity noodles just now almost filled her stomach, but how could she refuse Zhen'er, who got up early in the morning to make these specifically for her birthday, and could only eat several longevity peach buns with a smile, until her stomach really couldn't hold it anymore, and then stopped.
Zhen'er was naturally happy to see that Lu Hao had eaten so much late, and as if she remembered something, she took out a small purse from her arms, handed it to her and said, "Then, this is a birthday gift, and it is not a valuable thing, you can see if you like it or not." ”
Lu Yanwan took the purse and said with a smile: "I like whatever you give, this seems to be the first time I have received a birthday gift from someone else!" ”
Zhen'er listened to Lu Yanwan's words, and there was more pity in her eyes, urging her: "Don't say it so quickly, open it and take a look." ”
Lu Huiwan opened the purse and took out a silver chain from it, and a pendant with a small monkey pattern fell on the chain, which was very cute, Lu Huiwan's zodiac was a monkey, and this gift could not be more appropriate.
"I originally wanted to give you a gold chain, but unfortunately I just redeemed myself, and I helped my family buy a house in the capital, and I didn't have much money left, so I made a silver first." Zhen'er said with some regret.
Lu Yanwan put the chain on his hand with a smile, and said lovingly: "I like silver, and I still think it's cheesy when it is gold." ”
Zhen'er was also very happy when she saw that Lu Yanwan liked it, and took her hand and said, "Originally, my brother wanted me to take you to our house to celebrate your birthday, but I also know that the teaching workshop has been strictly controlled recently, and the people inside are not allowed to go out at will, so I gave up." ”
Lu Yanwan didn't care much, "I'm so happy that my sister can come to help me celebrate my birthday, why are you embarrassed to disturb your family, the teaching workshop has not been peaceful recently, sister, you still don't have to come often." ”
Zhen'er didn't listen to Lu Yanwan's words, so she pouted and said: "I don't have anything to do at home anyway, my father and eldest brother don't let me do anything now, I just want me to stay in the house every day to be a female celebrity, you also know that I can't be idle, where can I learn from those young ladies who don't go out of the door!" ”
Lu Yanwan listened to Zhen'er's complaints, and said with a chuckle: "You really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, doesn't Brother Zhang feel sorry for you, now that he has an errand and can make money, he is naturally reluctant to let you work any longer." ”
mentioned Zhang Mozhen'er with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Brother, he still has a test to take the exam, and now it is the most important thing to study and review, I still want to do more to help him." ”
Lu Yan chatted with Zhen'er a few more words in the evening, and Zhen'er got up to leave, because Zhang Mo had to go home for dinner at noon, so she had to go back early to prepare.
After Zhen'er left, Lu Yanwan looked at the dishes on the table, her heart was warm, and she put them away first, ready to eat them at noon. After packing up, Lu Yanwan picked up Meng Feiyang's booklet again, and read it carefully, she wanted to understand all the theoretical knowledge thoroughly before starting to practice. Lu Yanwan always forgot the time when she read a book, until there was a knock on the door, which drew her attention back from the book.
"Wanwan, are you in there?" When Lu Yuwan heard the voice and knew that it was Yan Qiu, she put down the booklet in her hand and hid it under the pillow, and then walked over and opened the door.
Yan Qiu seemed to be relieved to see Lu Yan in the house, and said with a smile: "I'm still not here, and no one answered after knocking on the door for so long." ”
"I just fell asleep, I didn't hear it." Lu Yuwan smiled apologetically and said casually.
Yan Qiu didn't care, and continued: "The lady is looking for you, you can go with me to see her." ”
Since Lu Yanwan was injured, Si Qingqing rarely looked for her, she showed a trace of doubt on her face, and asked out loud: "I don't know what the lady is looking for me?" ”
Yan Qiu pulled Lu Yan out of the house, and immediately said, "Let's talk while walking, I don't know much." ”
Along the way, Yan Qiu said to Lu Xuanwan: "This morning, Chu Xiuyuan's Qin Jiaoxi came, and talked to our lady in the house for a while, after she left, the lady asked me to find you, I think I am afraid it should have something to do with Qin Jiaoxi." ”
After listening to Yan Qiu's words, Lu Yanwan suddenly became even more puzzled, she didn't seem to have anything to do with that Qin Qin in this life, what could she do with herself? I couldn't figure it out, so I just didn't want to, anyway, I'll know in a while.
When the two arrived at Si Qingqing's room, Yan Qiu retired with each other, Si Qingqing's attitude towards Lu Yanwan was still very gentle and amiable, first concerned about her body, and then got to the point and asked her tentatively: "Wanwan, what are your plans for the future, you should know that you are different from Zhen'er and Yanqiu, you are the daughter of a criminal official, basically there is no hope of redemption, if nothing else, you will spend your whole life in the workshop, do you plan to be a female envoy for the rest of your life, you are young now, I haven't felt anything yet, and the work I do is the easiest, but once you get older, you can only be reduced to a rough mother-in-law, and you should know what kind of life those people live, do you imagine that they are the same? ”
Lu Yanwan naturally couldn't let herself become like that, she didn't want to stay in the workshop for the rest of her life, she was just waiting for an opportunity to get out of the workshop in a less noticeable way. But now that Si Qingqing asked this question, Lu Yanwan still pretended to be confused, shook her head slightly and replied: "Lady, after such a long time, Wanwan hasn't thought about it, I want to serve the lady well now." ”
The smile on Si Qingqing's face became more and more gentle, she gently touched Lu Yanwan's bun, sighed lightly and said: "I know that you are a loyal and good boy, but I can't watch you such a good boy delay me here, this morning Qin Jiaoxi came to me, she said that she wanted to accept you as an apprentice, and I have promised her for you." ”
Lu Yanwan suddenly opened her mouth in surprise, she never thought that Qin Qin would actually accept her as an apprentice!? Apprentices and female JI are not the same, there is such a precedent in the workshop, after all, those who are gifted do not necessarily have a good skin, and most of the talented female JI will be ransomed and bought by the dignitaries, and only a small part will stay in the workshop to teach after the old Zhu Huang, but these female ji with excellent skills themselves are not necessarily a good teacher, many people can do well themselves, but they can't teach students well, so there is such a "apprentice" This kind of person, They all have a strong talent for musical instruments or dance, but their appearance is average, and they are taught by experienced instructors themselves, which is different from the kind of teaching that teaches women, and is more inclined to teach some experience and skills, so that they can become a good teacher.
But this kind of "apprentice" candidate is also hard to find, after all, the woman who enters the workshop, as long as she has the talent in this area, wants to become a woman, few are willing to make wedding clothes for others, become an obscure teacher, so there are very few apprentices to teach, unless it is very lovely, will accept that person as an apprentice, but this is also subject to my consent, after all, there are not many people with such dedication.
Lu Yanwan was surprised at the moment, Si Qingqing still said to her, "I made this decision, but also after careful consideration, if Wanwan's face is not injured, then I don't need to say anything, Mother Chun will train you well, but unfortunately your face can't be cured, it's impossible to become a woman, if you can do a teaching practice, it is a good way out for you, even if you get old in the future, the teaching workshop is obliged to support you, and you don't have to worry about being old and helpless." ”
Lu Yanwan naturally knew that Si Qingqing was thinking about her, and she didn't want to dismiss her kindness, so she thought about it carefully, thinking that being Qin Qin's apprentice was not a bad thing, and she also wanted to continue playing the pipa, and she didn't have to serve those fat-brained officials in the future, she was very happy. After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yanwan had already made a decision, but she still made a hesitant look on her face, and asked uncertainly: "Lady, do you think I can do a good job, I'm afraid that I will live up to your love with Qin Jiaoxi......"
Si Qingqing smiled when she heard this, nodded Lu Yanwan's little nose and said: "You can rest assured, Qin Jiaoxi's vision is first-class, as long as it is the person she fancies, it must have potential, I know that the last time you were in Chu Xiuyuan, you suppressed a group of people with a pipa in one hand, you have such a ability, coupled with Qin Jiaoxi's adjustment and teaching, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it?" ”
After listening to Si Qingqing's words, Lu Yanwan seemed to have made up her mind, nodded, but said with a very reluctant face: "Then I will listen to you, lady, but I am about to leave you like this, I am reluctant to ......"
"Silly boy." Si Qingqing also showed a hint of reluctance on his face, but he still said with a smile: "Aren't you going anywhere, are you not in this workshop, if you miss me, you will often come to see me when you are free, and it is no different from now." ”
Lu Yanwan nodded at this time, which was considered an agreement. Si Qingqing finally patted her on the shoulder and said, "You go back and pack your things today, tomorrow Qin Jiaoxi will personally come to take you over, she really values you very much, you have to study hard with her in the future, you can't embarrass me." ”
Lu Yanwan naturally nodded yes again and again, got up and went back to the room.
Lu Yanwan herself doesn't have many clothes and objects, because she is young, and she doesn't make many clothes, except for the few clothes she changed by herself, which are custom-made in the workshop, plus the one that Si Qingqing rewarded her, all packed up, it is just a small bag, she has saved a lot of silver tickets and scattered silver, and the one hundred taels of gold that Jun Qishan rewarded her last time were all exchanged for silver tickets, a full thousand taels, and the one hundred taels of silver tickets that Si Qingqing forced into her, all of which were sewn into a few close-fitting underwear, The scattered silver is the monthly money and the reward of the guests every month, and she has also accumulated about a dozen taels, as well as a number of jewelry, most of which were rewarded to her by Si Qingqing, Lu Yanwan took stock of all her property, and found that she was really a little rich woman, with this money, she could also live well in the capital, after all, the current price is not very high, two hundred taels of silver can buy an ordinary small house, and one thousand taels of silver is almost a huge amount of money for ordinary people.
Everything else has been sorted out, there is one thing that really makes Lu Feiwan embarrassed, Meng Feiyang left her a lot of pills and ointments, and there are also many poisons, such a bunch of things naturally can't be discovered, Lu Yanwan thought for a long time, or decided to hide these things in Meng Feiyang's house first, that house was bought by Meng Feiyang at the beginning, and now only the two of them have the key, and it should be safe to hide there.
As soon as the things were packed, Lu Xiwan waited for Qin Qin to pick her up, and early the next morning, she got up, packed herself up, and went to Si Qingqing with her baggage. That Qin Qin actually came earlier than her, and as soon as Lu Hui entered the door, he saw her sitting opposite Si Qingqing, chatting with a smile.
Si Qingqing saw Lu Yanwan first, smiled and beckoned to her: "Just talking about you, come here." ”
Lu Xiwan stepped forward and saluted the two of them a little shyly. Qin Qin looked Lu Hui up and down carefully for a while before saying to Si Qingqing: "Why do you look thinner than last time, this little face is almost an awl." ”
Si Qingqing pulled Lu Yanwan to her side, touched her cheek lovingly and said: "It's also strange and pitiful, I had a serious illness a few days ago, and I have only recently recovered, and I have lost a lot of weight. ”
Qin Qin naturally didn't know about Lu Yanwan's injury, and asked a few words with concern, Si Qingqing only said a few words to her, but she didn't say anything in detail, after all, Lu Yanwan's experience was really a bit bizarre, and she couldn't say a word clearly.
Qin Qin sighed for a while, seeing that Lu Yanwan was fine now, she was also very happy, and thought of the last time she saw her playing the pipa in Chu Xiuyuan, so she asked: "Did Wanwan learn the pipa at home, and who did she learn from?" ”
"It turned out that my family specially invited a teacher to teach our sisters a few piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I studied for two or three years, and I only learned some fur, because I am more interested in pipa, and I spent more effort on it." Lu Haowan made up a few nonsense words and replied.
Qin Qin heard that Lu Xianwan didn't mention the teacher's name, and only thought that he was a person with an inconspicuous reputation, so he didn't ask any more questions, and instead praised Lu Huiwan and said: "I've only learned pipa for two or three years, and I have such a level, and Wanwan's talent is really good, if I want to practice for another two or three years, no one in this workshop can match you." ”
"I'm not as good as I did, don't praise me like that." Lu Yanwan waved her hand again and again and said, she was praised by Qin Qin and blushed, what kind of talent she is, she naturally knows best, she was not even as good as Shi Jingyao at the beginning, but now that she has more memories of her previous life, she just took advantage of it.
"Qin Jiaoxi said that you can do it, you must be able to do it, after going with Qin Jiaoxi, remember to study hard." Si Qingqing was reluctant to Lu Yanwan after all, and repeatedly instructed.
Qin Qin pulled Lu Yanwan over and said to Si Qingqing: "If you hand it over to me, you can rest assured, I will teach her well, although she can't be a woman, but it's not bad to be a teacher, and it is a blessing to have a lot of troubles." ”
Lu Yanwan listened to the deep meaning of Qin Qin's words, and knew that she also knew the sadness of being a woman, so she also stood beside her obediently and stopped talking.
Si Qingqing seemed to have something to say with Qin Qin, so he asked Lu Xian to go out to eat some snacks first. Lu Xi was in a hurry to get up in the morning, and he didn't eat breakfast, at this time he was already hungry, so he obediently went outside, Yan Qiu took some porridge and snacks and put them on the small table outside, and the two ate together.
Yan Qiu seemed to be very envious of Lu Yanwan, while eating the flower rolls, she sighed with emotion: "Wanwan, you are really lucky, you can enter the eyes of Qin Jiaoxi, it is much easier to do teaching than being a female envoy, and in the future, the teaching workshop will take care of the elderly, if you teach a few top brands, then the status in the teaching workshop is not the same, you look at Qin Jiaoxi, taught Xiangjun, even Chun's mother and the playboy respect her very much, you will be a teacher in the future, but don't forget us, I am a little female envoy who can touch your light." ”
Lu Yanwan was drinking porridge, swallowing the rice grains in his mouth, there was no expression on his face, and he said lightly: "What do you have to envy me, you have parents and brothers at home, you can redeem yourself and marry someone after you earn enough money, only better than me in the future, but I can only stay in the workshop for the rest of my life, lonely, such days, you also envy?" ”
Yan Qiu didn't expect Lu Hui to say this, she was choked up for a moment, looked at her a little depressed and said: "Wanwan, do you know that you don't look like eleven years old at all, it's really rigid and boring, when I'm as old as you, where do you think so much, it's all a day at a time, you are now with Qin Jiaoxi, life will naturally be much better than now, think of what to do in the future, besides, although we people can redeem ourselves, but not everyone is as lucky as Sister Zhen'er, There is a competitive brother, I am the boss of our family, there are several younger brothers and sisters below, and I can't even eat in the poor land, otherwise my father and mother will not sell me here, let's be honest with you, I never thought of redeeming myself, what if I go out, the family is not poor and jingling, I don't want to live a hungry life anymore, and I don't have so much money, I might as well buy a few beautiful clothes if I have money, I just want to catch a gold owner, buy me back as a concubine, and I will be satisfied with food and clothing for a lifetime. ”
Lu Xiwan listened to Yan Qiu's words, gnawed on steamed buns, and was silent, she thought, people's pursuits are always different, everyone has their own pursuits, just like in early summer, she wants to be a female Ji to make money to subsidize her family, Zhen'er is desperate to make money for her brother to study, Yan Qiu wants to marry a rich man and live a good life, she can't say that their pursuit is wrong, being in the teaching workshop has determined that these people are much harder than ordinary women, but no matter what, they just want to make themselves or the people around them live a better life.
"Then I wish you to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible." Lu Yanwan put down the bowl in his hand and said to Yan Qiu with a smile.
Yan Qiu didn't expect Lu Hui to say this, nodded a little stunned, and said, "You too, you will definitely enjoy happiness when you go to Qin Jiaoxi." ”
The two ran out of breakfast, Si Qingqing and Qin Qin also talked about it, Qin Qin and Si Qingqing said goodbye, and led Lu Yan back to Chu Xiuyuan.
Chu Xiuyuan is naturally no stranger to Lu Yanwan, in her last life, she stayed here for five years, which is the best five years in her previous life, if the life has been like those five years, maybe there will be no current self.
Qin Qin accepted Lu Yanwan as an apprentice, it seems that not many people know, and even the several female envoys who are waiting for Qin Qin are obviously not aware, when Qin Qin introduced Lu Yanwan to them, Lu Yanwan saw a very obvious look of surprise on their faces, and then looked at Lu Yanwan carefully, as if she wanted to take a good look at her.
Qin Qin had to teach Chu Xiuyuan's female servants on weekdays, naturally she was very busy, and it was impossible to have too much time to take care of her, so she entrusted her to the most trusted female envoy by her side, okra is a girl who looks stable, about the same age as Zhen'er, she is white and pure, very delicate, and small dimples appear on both sides of her cheeks when she smiles, which makes people feel close at a glance.
