Chapter 14: The Past

After the laughter, soon the five-colored bead curtain on the door swayed, Lu Shufang pulled Lu Shuqing and walked in with a smile, and Huan'er and Xiu'er were also busy following up to serve.

Lu Shuqing is the youngest daughter of Pei's third wife, Xifu, who is just ten years old this year, and is afraid of the sixth line at home. Lu Yunhe, the third master of Xifu, married Pei Xuerou, the cousin of Mrs. Lu, so the people in the third room are usually closer to Dongfu.

"Yo, third sister, this is ......" Lu Shuqing saw Lu Shuyi lying with her eyes closed, her brows were almost imperceptibly wrinkled, and she couldn't help pouting: "It seems that we are unfortunate to come, the third sister is still resting!" ”

The tone was a little yin and yang, obviously a little displeased.

Lu Shuyi listened to Lu Shuqing's familiar voice and fell into memories bitterly.

In the previous life, a large part of the reason why the Lu family ended up with all the men dead and the women who were confiscated as official prostitutes was because of the third master, Lu Yunhe.

The third master, Lu Yunhe, is the pride of Xifu and the glory of the Lu family. He was a talent at the age of sixteen, and then studied hard all the way, and at the age of twenty-two, he was promoted. At the age of twenty-eight, he participated in the Spring Festival and won a two-rank jinshi. Later, he participated in the selection of the Hanlin Academy. The Lu family also spent a lot of effort at that time, and in the end, the third master, Lu Yunhe, entered the Hanlin Academy as he wished.

Lu Yunhe, who entered the Hanlin Academy, did indeed make a lot of contributions to the Lu family's business, but at the same time, he also met Liu Su, the king of Huainan.

At that time, the Liu family was in the world, and the Empress Dowager He was in power.

Empress Dowager He valued her relatives and wanted to get rid of the Liu family and reuse her own family. Although Chaotianzi was only fourteen years old, he didn't want to be at the mercy of his mother, so he reused the relatives of his favorite concubine Zhou Guifei to fight openly and secretly with the Empress Dowager He's family.

At that time, Liu Su, the king of Huainan, was unwilling to be suppressed by the Empress Dowager He, and secretly began to recruit troops and horses, intending to rebel under the banner of the Qing monarch.

And Lu Yunhe, the third master at that time, happened to meet Liu Su, the king of Huainan, by chance. Liu Su took a fancy to the Lu family's iron ore and wanted the Lu family to cast weapons for him, so he secretly promised the Lu family many benefits, one of which was that Liu Su, the king of Huainan, promised the third master Lu Yunhe that when he won the world, he would let his second son Liu Ze marry Lu Shuqing.

Later, the king of Huainan took advantage of the Qing monarch to plot against him, and Huo Jiajun killed him. The Lu family was implicated in this, was accused of rebellion, and ended up with a tragic end of ruined family.

And at that time, she naturally didn't know about the matter between Liu Su, the king of Huainan, and her third uncle. Later, she was not an official prostitute, and Mr. Bai, a noble man she met in Xiangchun Tower, sued her for this.

As for whether her grandfather cast weapons for King Huainan, Mr. Bai did not make it clear, but only vaguely.

Lu Shuyi thought of the tragic scene when the Lu family was raided, and she was in a cold sweat.

She now clearly understands that if she wants to protect herself and her family, she must prevent the third uncle from entering the office and prevent him from colluding with the king of Huainan.

It's just how to stop the third uncle? He is now a lifter, and if he remembers correctly, he will participate in the Spring Festival next year.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuyi had a headache, and she didn't have the heart to pretend to be asleep, so she simply pretended to wake up, rubbed her eyebrows and sat up.

Sixth Miss Lu Shuqing was wearing a green plum-colored copper coin gown, standing under the beaded curtain and pouting and looking at her. Seeing her get up, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Yo, is the third sister uncomfortable?" Why don't you invite a doctor to take a look? ”

Lu Shuyi raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her, and her heart was indistinguishable.

In fact, Lu Shuqing in her previous life did not really marry the second son of King Huainan in the end, nor did she become the prince and concubine of her dreams. However, Lu Shuqing was originally because of his father, and his temperament was more domineering than others. And in her previous life, she was also a thorny flower, and she couldn't rub sand in her eyes. Coupled with the provocation of people with intentions, there was often a gap between her and Lu Shuqing in her previous life, and she often fought openly and secretly in private.

Especially in the three years that she was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, Lu Shuqing bullied her a lot in private. I remember one winter, the weather was extremely cold, and a basin of water was poured at the door, and it immediately froze. On such a cold day, Lu Shuqing actually asked someone to secretly pour a basin of cold water in her futon.

She remembered that she was so angry that she wished she could light the Buddha Hall with a fire. Later, when she took the candle, she raised her eyes to look at the statue of Guanyin in the Buddha Hall, and somehow, her heart suddenly calmed down.

On that snowy night, she cried for the whole night holding the wet bedding. She didn't know what to cry about, but she felt very aggrieved, and it was the first time she thought of her dead mother and her mother's warm embrace......

Lu Shuyi's heart was filled with bitterness, but she quickly covered it up, and smiled at Lu Shuqing: "Sixth sister is here, sit down." I was fine, but I felt a little tired, so I leaned in. At the same time, he glared fiercely at Huan'er and Xiu'er, who were clubbing on the side, and scolded: "What's the matter? People in the house don't know how to greet them, and they really don't know the rules more and more. ”

Huan'er and Xiu'er hurriedly bowed their heads and confessed, while inviting Lu Shuqing and Lu Shufang to sit down.

Lu Shuqing looked at Lu Shuyi's attitude, was slightly stunned, and quickly glanced at Lu Shufang beside her, her eyes were full of puzzlement.

The sun is coming out in the west? Why is Lu Shuyi's attitude so good?

Lu Shufang was also stunned, and said in her heart, aren't these two mortal enemies? It's always like a black-eyed chicken when we meet, what's wrong with it today?

The two exchanged glances with each other, but each found a place to sit down.

Xiu'er and Huan'er quickly brought tea over.

"The two sisters drink tea first" Lu Shuyi had a calm attitude, pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

Lu Shuqing looked at Lu Shuyi's smile, and was stunned again, only after half a sound came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly, and said coquettishly: "Third sister, I heard that the cousin of the He family is here, and this is where the eldest aunt is, don't you follow us to take a look?" ”

Lu Shuyi's uncle is married to He Mingzhu, the second daughter of He Shouye in Yizhou. This He family is an old family in Yizhou, and it is a family that made a fortune by opening a salt well, and they are the same as the Empress Dowager He family of the current dynasty.

When the Lu family asked to marry He Mingzhu, Empress Dowager He was just an ordinary concubine at that time. If it were placed today, how could He Shouye marry his daughter to the Lu family?

Time has changed, so now Mrs. Lu always feels that marrying this daughter-in-law is picking it up. When mentioning his eldest daughter-in-law outside, there is always a little more smile on his face.

He Tai is the nephew of the eldest wife He Mingzhu.

In her previous life, she liked He Tai, and she was more active, and she always liked to pester He Tai. When the eldest lady found out about this, she openly and secretly expressed that she hated her very much, thinking that she did not know the rules and had no shame. Especially after she came back from He Tai that night, the eldest lady gave her a few loud slaps on the spot, scolding her for being a little slut and a vixen.

The piercing and sharp scolding, even if she is a human in two lives, she can't forget it.

The cousin of the He family in Lu Shuqing's mouth should be He Tai's sister He Zhao'er. He Zhao'er is one year younger than Lu Shuyi, and she is extremely arrogant.

In her previous life, she was for He Tai, but she didn't please and curry favor with He Zhao'er. But He Zhao'er was double-faced, ostensibly promising to deliver a letter for her, but after the letter arrived in her hand, she took the letter she wrote to He Tai and showed off everywhere in the sister group, ruining her reputation.

Lu Shuyi felt cold teeth when she thought of these people, and her bones hurt with hatred.

In this life, if she can, she doesn't want to see any of them again, it's better to stay away from them, and don't see them for the rest of her life.
