Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Hero Saves Beauty?
Lu Yanwan looked up in surprise, but saw Li Wei with an angry face, grabbed the man's hand, and scolded viciously: "The master hates you the most for molesting women, and it is simply ruining the reputation of the family!" β
Don't look at Li Wei's thin appearance, but his strength is not small, and although the disciple looks much older than Li Wei, he has long been hollowed out because of his year-round wine, and at this moment, he is five or six points drunk, so he is naturally inferior to Li Wei, and scolded with a white face: "Where did you come from, don't let go of grandpa and me, don't die!" β
Deng's unconcealed scolding made Li Wei's eyes flash with murderous aura, and the strength in his hands became a little heavier, seeing that Deng's disciple's wrist was about to be broken by him.
As soon as Lu Yan saw that something was going to happen, he immediately grabbed Li Wei and whispered in his ear: "Little prince, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as such people, you can punish him as much as you want when you go back, if you make a big fuss here, it will not be good for you." β
The little fat man also whispered on the side: "Yes, brother, I recognize that kid, it seems to be a member of the Luo family, and I have a way to toss him after I go back." β
Li Wei finally listened to the persuasion and let go of his hand, the disciple relieved himself, and most of the wine was sober, and he jumped up and scolded Li Wei: "Xiao Miao is really dead, if you don't kill you today, I won't be surnamed Luo!" β
Lu Yanwan looked at this guy who didn't know the height of the sky like a dead man, so as not to provoke Li Wei's anger again, so he sprinkled some medicinal powder on his face, and the disciple immediately wilted, and then collapsed softly on the ground. finally pulled Li Wei to a place where no one was, Lu Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that she finally didn't let people find out the identities of these two young masters, otherwise she would be miserable.
"Hey, what did you just spill, why did that guy lie down?" Li Wei suddenly approached Lu Weiwan and asked curiously.
"Some sweat powder, bought from You Fanglangzhong, for self-defense." Lu Yanwan is already very smooth in making up nonsense now, and immediately replied.
Li Wei didn't continue to ask, but said with a grim face: "Cheap guy for the time being, hum ......" Lu Yanwan has already begun to mourn for the unlucky guy, offending this evil star, I'm afraid there is no good life.
"But that guy's eyes are bad enough, even you ugly girl has to tease, I'm so hungry." Li Wei looked at Lu Yanwan with disdain, and his tone was very inadequate.
As a peerless beauty who could blind people in her previous life, Lu Yanwan was very resentful in her heart, and couldn't help but slander in her heart: That's because you haven't seen the true face of the old lady, otherwise you will be blind! But he still said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, isn't he drunk, his eyes are not very good, little prince, look, this hour is not early, when are you going to go back?" β
Li Wei obviously hasn't played enough, and he looks like he can't get enough of it, but the little fat man is a little anxious, if he comes out for too long, Zhao will definitely teach him a lesson again, so he pulled Li Wei's sleeve and said: "Brother, it's almost time to go back, if my mother finds out that we are gone, I will have to be beaten again." β
"You're cowardly!" Li Wei waved his fist and said dissatisfiedly, but he also decided to leave, looked at Lu Yanwan and said: "Okay, let's go back today, you have to come tomorrow, I will look for you again when the time comes, I haven't visited enough of this workshop, come and take a good look tomorrow." β
Lu Yanwan complained bitterly in her heart, it seemed that this kid was really relying on herself, she considered her language for a while, and said euphemistically: "That...... Little prince, our workshop is just such a place, there is really nothing to see, and besides, with your identity, it is really inappropriate to come to this place from time to time, and it will hinder your reputation......"
Li Wei listened to Lu Yanwan's refusal words, raised his eyebrows, and threatened again: "The reputation is mine, I love it or not, you ugly girl is really ungrateful, I saved you from the hands of that villain, don't you know that you are grateful to repay your kindness, now is a good opportunity for you to repay your kindness, do you want to be ungrateful!" β
Lu Yanwan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and felt that the person in front of him was really more difficult than Laipi plaster, so he had no choice but to continue: "It's not that the slave doesn't want to repay you, the little prince, it's just that the slave is a little apprentice, and he really doesn't know anything." β
"Master didn't let you know anything, Master just thinks you're quite interesting, let you stay with me and have fun with me, don't worry, Master will never treat you badly." Li Wei raised his head and said very proudly, and after speaking, he took out a piece of excellent mutton fat jade pendant from his arms and threw it into Lu Huiwan's hand, "This is your reward today, and the silver you sold it is enough for you to use it for a lifetime." β
Lu Yanwan just hates this kind of wealthy master, and besides, this jade pendant is too valuable, she doesn't dare to accept it indiscriminately, so she immediately waved her hand and said: "No, no, this is too valuable, and I am a small apprentice in the workshop, and this kind of thing on my body will also arouse suspicion, little prince, you can quickly take it back, just reward me with some silver taels." "Jade Pei Lu Yan didn't dare to take it at night, but she didn't refuse to come with gold, silver and money.
The little prince has never had the habit of carrying silver with him, so he coughed a little embarrassedly, and then reprimanded: "If you want to accept it, you will accept it, this jade pendant style is ordinary, no one will think of me, you can find a pawnshop and it won't be anything." β
Lu Yanwan also figured out a little bit of Li Wei's temperament, since she said that she would give it away, she would definitely not take it back, and since there would be no trouble, she would accept it with peace of mind, as for tomorrow's affairs...... Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's a big deal that she's hiding from this evil star, it's impossible to let them catch it all the time.
After Li Wei sent the jade pendant, he climbed the wall with the little fat man and left, Lu Yanwan originally wanted to remind them to leave through the back door, but thinking about the trouble Li Wei caused her, she decided not to say anything, she was so angry with Li Wei today, she always wanted to get some interest back.
After sending the two little ancestors away, Lu Yan hurriedly returned to the box, and deliberately glanced at the disciple who was lying on the table, and was still lying on the table "faint", so he took advantage of no one's attention to prick a few stitches on that person, the expression on his face was very gloomy, since there was a kind of teasing her, he had to be prepared to be "kind" for the rest of his life.
Lu Yanwan helped Yan Qiu continue to greet the guests, and it was not until the middle of the night that the guests left, she returned to Chu Xiuyuan, and saw someone outside the door of her room from a distance, and the person obviously also saw Lu Yanwan, greeted him with a smile, and said affectionately: "Where have you been, I have been waiting for you here for a while." β
Lu Yanwan squinted at Shi Jingyao, who was smiling enthusiastically, and sneered: "I don't seem to be so familiar with you, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't get close to me, I can't stand this." β
Shi Jingyao's cheeks have been very thick in the past few years, and she still smiled indifferently: "The two of us were taught by Qin Jiaoxi personally, where is it rusty again, I know that Wanwan is cold-faced and hot-hearted, if I have anything that can't stand you in the past, you don't blame it." β
Lu Yan has not seen Shi Jingyao so enthusiastic about her for a long time, and the relationship between the two has not been very good in the past two years, because Qin Qin is more partial to her, Shi Jingyao has not stumbled on her, and now that she is so out, I don't know what kind of calculation she is making.
"If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. If I have nothing to say, I'm going back to rest. Lu Yan was not polite to her, and said directly.
Shi Jingyao finally got to know each other better, smiled, and finally got to the point, "That...... Wanwan, do you know the son of the Jian family? β
Lu Yanwan frowned slightly, naturally knowing that Shi Jingyao was asking Jian Yu, but he wouldn't admit it on his face, and replied coldly: "What Jian Gongzi, I don't know." β
Shi Jingyao saw Lu Yanwan deny it, and her face suddenly said very strangely: "Wanwan, you don't have to hide it from me, I know everything, you have been befriending a man for the past few years, it turns out that I don't know the identity of that man, but now I finally know, Wanwan, your hiding place is really deep enough, I really admire you to climb up to Jian Gongzi......"
"Shut up for me, you think everyone is you, thinking about those crooked ways every day, you don't care who I know, I just know the king of heaven and Lao Tzu It has nothing to do with you, I advise you not to meddle in things, otherwise I won't be polite to you." Lu Yanwan was in a very bad mood today, but when Shi Jingyao stirred it up like this, the fire in her stomach finally broke out, scolded her viciously, and walked away.
Shi Jingyao stood in place with an iron face, staring at Lu Yanwan's back with resentful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Hmph, it's just an ugly monster, how long can you be rampant, if it weren't for Qin Qin's favor, you think you can fight with me, hum!" Jian Gongzi, I am determined to win, and I will clean you up when the time comes! β
Lu Yanwan didn't know the calculation behind Shi Jingyao, although she asked Jian Yu, but she was not worried that Jian Yu would be seduced by Shi Jingyao, she knew what Jian Yu had very well, what he hated the most was a woman like Shi Jingyao who was soft and weak, twisting and pinching, and saying a word out loud could scare them to cry, if Shi Jingyao had this thought, I am afraid that she would only take her own share of humiliation, and maybe she would anger Jian Yu's mother, but no mother would tolerate her son being seduced by a woman who was indiscriminate.
After resting for a night, early the next morning, Lu Yan followed Qin Qin to the Junfu with two black eye circles, and with Qin Qin by his side today, Li Wei did not appear as swaggering as yesterday, which made Lu Yan a little relieved.
After another two days, Li Wei still didn't appear, which made Lu Weiwan a little strange, could it be that this kid suddenly changed his personality and decided to let himself go? Lu Yan secretly congratulated himself on his good luck, but on the sixth day, he met the little fat man.
The little fat man's appearance was obviously a little wilted, and when he saw Lu Yanwan, his attitude was much better than the last few times, he pulled her to the corner of the back door, and whispered to her: "My brother Wei was temporarily taken back to Zhao's mansion by the princess, last time we sneaked out and was discovered, my mother locked me up for a few days, and now I finally managed to sneak out, Brother Wei asked me to bring you a message, what he said must be counted, and I will come to you again in a few days." β
Lu Yan thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect Li Wei to be so persistent, so he said with a bitter face: "Seventh Young Master, since the princess doesn't let the little prince come out, why don't he stay in the Zhao Mansion well, and then sneak out and make the princess angry." β
The little fat man sighed softly, wrinkled a bun face and said: "Do you think Brother Wei really likes to visit those Qinglou Chu Pavilions so much, he also has no choice, the next step is to do it, the princess took Brother Wei back to Beijing this time, although she is visiting my seriously ill grandmother, but she also wants to help her choose a fiancΓ©e who is the right person......
Lu Yanwan was a little speechless, he didn't expect that there was such an inside story, but he didn't think that Li Wei had anything to sympathize with, it was his business to stink his reputation, why bother with himself, if the eldest lady and the princess knew that it was she who brought Li Wei into the workshop, she would not be able to compensate for a few lives.
"Anyway, you remember, in a few days, when the news about Brother Wei passes, he will come to you." After the little fat man said this, he left quickly, leaving Lu Yuwan alone there, his face becoming more and more ugly.
Because of Li Wei's matter, Lu Yuwan seemed a little absent-minded when he instructed a few young ladies the next day, and he didn't even hear Jun Yuyan's mistakes in several places, Jun Yuyan put down the pipa, smiled and asked Lu Yanwan: "Is Wanwan on your mind, or are you a little too tired to guide us these days?" β
Lu Yanwan immediately cheered up and replied respectfully: "It's the slave who rested a little late last night, and was distracted for a while, so please don't blame the fourth lady." β
"It's okay, our sisters can also see the hard work of Wanwan, and after this draft, I will definitely let the eldest aunt reward you and Qin's teaching." Jun smiled gently, and his tone was very sincere.
Lu Yan didn't dare to say in the evening, Jun Yuyan plucked the pipa strings at will, and asked again as if unintentionally: "Didn't Qin Jiaoxi teach the ladies of the Wu'an Hou Mansion in addition to our Jun Mansion, I don't know how many of us are better than them?" β
Lu Yuwan heard that Jun Yuyan was trying to spy on the enemy, and immediately tensed his nerves and replied: "Jiao Xi didn't talk to Nu Duo about the Wu'an Hou Mansion, but the fourth lady's pipa is already playing very well, and the young ladies of the Wu'an Hou Mansion may not be as good as you." In front of Jun Yuyan, she naturally wanted to say good things about her, and Lu Yanwan praised her euphemistically.
Jun Yuyan smiled slightly, "I can't say for sure, they all say that a mountain is still a mountain high, how can I know if I haven't seen it, if my pipa playing is as good as you, then I am really fearless." β
Lu Yanwan immediately responded modestly: "The slave has been practicing since he was a child, and he can make perfect, but his talent is far inferior to that of the fourth miss, if the fourth miss practices for a long time, he will definitely be able to beat the slave." β
"Wanwan is really good at talking." The corners of Jun Yuyan's lips raised, and after saying this, he didn't say anything more, and Lu Yuwan also breathed a sigh of relief, it was really tiring to speak so carefully and carefully.
Lu Yanwan stood up, and when she saw Qin Qin, who had gone to the toilet, came back, her face was ugly, so she walked up to her with concern and asked in a low voice, "Jiaoxi, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" β
Qin Qin shook his head, didn't speak, and walked straight to a few young ladies for guidance.
Lu Yan understood Qin Qin in the evening, she was not usually a person who was particularly moody, but at this moment, she must have encountered something particularly bad, so she slowly walked out of the door and talked to the little maid who had just accompanied Qin Qin out.
After getting along in the past few days, Lu Yan and Tao Yao have also become more acquainted, Tao Yao has a lively temperament, and she is also young, but it is not difficult to talk to her.
"Tao Yao, I just taught Xi to go out of Gong, have you met anyone?" Lu Yan gossiped as usual.
Tao Yao didn't notice anything, and immediately replied: "I met someone, the second lady's younger brother Lin Gongzi came to the house today, maybe there was something to find the second lady, so he entered the inner courtyard, and happened to meet us on the road." β
Lu Yanwan's heart moved, and she continued to ask quietly: "Isn't he a foreign man?" How can you just go into the inner courtyard? β
"The second lady is such a younger brother, it is said that he has often come to our house since he was a child, he was still young at that time, and he didn't feel anything, but now that he is older, it seems to have become a habit, and no one said anything." When Tao Yao said this, there was some disdain in her tone.
Lu Yanwan knew that the Jun family was not very strict in governing the family, and the eldest lady of the housekeeper didn't seem to like offending people, so there would be this kind of absurd thing that foreign men often enter the inner courtyard.
"You didn't have any trouble with him, did you?" Lu Yuwan asked carefully.
Tao Yao thought about it, and her face was a little unsightly, "We met him on the small road just now, the road is relatively narrow, and it is inevitable that there will be some collisions, I think Qin Jiaoxi seems to be a little unhappy, after all, he is a strange man......"
When Lu Yanwan heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly, although he didn't know what kind of person this Lin Gongzi was, but just because he entered the backyard without hesitation, he could guess that he was not a serious person, and he vaguely felt that he was the one who forced Qin Qin to death in the previous life.
"You tell me about this Lin Gongzi, I'm afraid that our teaching will not collide with him, so I can remind her."
The disdain on Tao Yao's face suddenly became thicker and stronger, and he said endlessly to Lu Yanwan: "It's also Qin Jiaoxi's bad luck, this Lin Gongzi is not a good person, many maids in our house have suffered his losses, that person has always made a gentleman's appearance in front of the second lady and the master next to the house, but he has a different face towards us, often with his hands and feet, and he is looking for the maids around those weak masters, even if most of them are bullied, they can only endure it silently, and dare not offend him, After all, he is the younger brother of the second lady, as long as he doesn't do anything too out of the ordinary, the second lady will definitely protect him. β
Lu Xiwan listened quietly, his eyes were slightly sunken, and he didn't know what to think about. "Qin Jiaoxi's appearance is so good, he is not much better than many aunts in our house, then Lin Gongzi saw it, how could he not be tempted, Wanwan, I think you still remind Qin Jiaoxi more, let him be careful these days, after all, he is not from the house, I am afraid that Lin Gongzi will covet her beauty and do something unfavorable to her." Tao Yao is not bad-hearted, and she didn't forget to remind Lu Hui to be late.
Lu Yanwan smiled gratefully with Tao Yao, took out a small piece of silver tael, stuffed it into her hand and said, "Thank you, Sister Tao Yao, if anyone comes to Qin Jiaoxi these days, you remember to inform me, and I have a good precaution." β
Tao Yao's little girl's monthly salary is not high, Lu Xiwan gave her two taels of silver is worth her monthly salary, and immediately put away the silver with a smile, and promised: "This little thing, if you don't say it, I will help you." β
Wanwan smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, she knew that there should be a tough battle to fight next. In the afternoon, when Lu Huiwan and Qin Qin took the carriage back to the church together, they asked tentatively: "Teaching, I see that your face seems to be not very good today, have you encountered something unhappy?" β
Qin Qin didn't seem to plan to tell Lu Yanwan about the encounter with Lin Gongzi today, so he smiled with her soothingly and said, "What can I do, it's just that I'm tired, go back and sleep well at night, and it will be fine." β
Lu Xiwan wanted Qin Qin to avoid the next disaster, so he couldn't help but say: "Teach Xi, if you really feel tired, let's rest for a few days first, I see that the young ladies of the Jun family are already familiar with the repertoire they want to perform, and it is enough for me alone." β
Qin Qin shook her head with a smile and said, "Since I promised the Jun family to teach me before the draft, how can I go back on my word, I'm really fine, you don't have to worry about me." β
Lu Yanwan understood Qin Qin's temperament, and knew that since she said so, she would not change her mind, and she was faintly depressed in her heart, so she could only think of other ways to help Qin Qin.
The next day, Qin Qin did not go to the Junfu, and Lin Gongzi did not appear, but it was still calm, but Lu Huiwan did not relax his vigilance at all, knowing that if Lin Gongzi really wanted to do something to Qin Qin, he would definitely inquire about her whereabouts, and it was normal to stand still now.
Another day, Qin Qin and Lu Hui came to the Junfu in the evening, Qin Qin seemed to have been relieved of the events of that day, and restored her normal appearance, after teaching the four young ladies in the morning, she and Lu Hui went to the wing room for a lunch break, and after lunch, Qin Qin was called out by a maid, saying that the eldest lady wanted to see her, Lu Xianwan didn't feel anything at first, because in the past, the eldest lady would often come to summon Qin Qin and ask her about the recent situation of the four young ladies, but when Qin Qin went for more than half an hour and did not come back, Lu Yanwan faintly felt that something was wrong, the eldest lady also had to rest at noon, and it was impossible to pull Qin Qin to talk for too long, Lu Huiwan only thought about it carefully, and realized that the maid who came to pass the word was not the silver ring next to the eldest lady, but a very raw maid.
