Lu Shuyi arranged her troops and secretly made a lot of plans, just waiting to see how Aunt An would make a move.

If Aunt An can make a move, she can take it, anyway, she clearly knows Aunt An's intentions, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to catch Aunt An's fox tail.

Besides, Wang Xiu's side, he quickly drew a portrait of Lu Shuyi.

The portrait of the girl's family, he naturally couldn't keep it as an outsider, so he took it and went to find Mrs. Lu that morning.

Mrs. Lu was very surprised after looking at the portrait, the girl in the portrait was incredibly beautiful, as if it had fallen from the sky.

She frowned, and some regretted agreeing to Mrs. He's request, and promised her to send Lu Shuyi's portrait to Zhao's house. Such a girl should have a better way out.

But what could she do?

The Lu family is in Kyoto, in Baoding Mansion, and the He family may be used in business in various places in Yizhou. If she is not willing to pay this sacrifice now, how can she be richly rewarded?

The idea was made, and she immediately smiled and said to Wang Xiu: "Painter Wang's painting is really worthy of its reputation, although my old woman doesn't know how to appreciate painting, but I like this painting very much when I see it......

Wang Xiu smiled and said modestly: "The quality of the painting is also related to the person who enters the painting, or the third lady has good qualifications." As for the portraits of other ladies, Wang is afraid that it will take more than half a month to draw them all......"

“…… No hurry, no hurry. Mrs. Lu smiled even more, and said enthusiastically: "It's the Spring Festival in more than a month, I heard that Mr. You are also a person in Beijing, so it's better to spend this year's New Year in our Lu family!" ”

Wang Xiu has spent most of his life studying painting, and at this age, he doesn't even have a home.

Old Lady Lu gave Wang Xiu a deep look.

She had also heard of what Wang Xiu was doing in Kyoto before.

It is rumored that he used to have some ambiguity with Yu Ruyi, the head brand of the Tonghua Building in KyotoAmbiguous, he later spent half of his life savings to redeem himself for Yu Ruyi, and Yu Ruyi also made a vow in public that he would not marry Wang Xiu.

Just when the outside world thought that the good relationship between this romantic genius and the beautiful lady of color and art was about to become a good match, Wang Xiu said goodbye and went somewhere else. When he left, he also left a letter to Yu Ruyi, saying that he was not Yu Ruyi's lover, and asked Yu Ruyi to find a down-to-earth man to marry and live a good life, and he didn't have to look for him, even if he looked for him, he wouldn't see Yu Ruyi.

Yu Ruyi was disheartened because of this, lost her hair and became a nun, and since then she has escaped into the empty door.

Later, Wang Xiu's Tongyu Ruyi incident was compiled into a book and circulated in the community.

Therefore, most people in Zhili know about his past, but it's not good to mention it in person.

Wang Xiu euphemistically resigned Mrs. Lu's kindness: "Wang is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, thank you for the kindness of the old lady." ”

Mrs. Lu was not reluctant, but smiled: "On the fifth day of the lunar month, our seven girls want to hold a flower viewing party in the garden, and ask Mr. Wang to appreciate his face." ”

He shirked the New Year's thing, and he couldn't shirk the flower viewing thing anymore.

Wang Xiu responded with a smile.

Mrs. Lu was very happy.

After Wang Xiu left, she sent Le'er to invite Second Master Lu and the Wu family to come over.

After waiting for the husband and wife to come over, Mrs. Lu took out the picture scroll and let them see Lu Shuyi's portrait, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful portrait, it's really like a fairy descending to earth."

Wu and Lu Er were also very satisfied with Wang Xiu's paintings.

Wu carefully touched the person in the painting, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile: "It's really like he is alive, Mr. Wang really lives up to his reputation." ”

"That's natural, and the three divisions of the capital are not called in vain." The second old man Lu tasted it, and said to the old lady Lu with a smile: "I will put away this painting for the third girl first, and when she gets married in the future, I will give ......it to her as a dowry."

"No, you don't." Mrs. Lu took a sip of hot tea and interrupted slowly: "This painting is left with me, the portrait of the girl's family can't be left indiscriminately, if it is accidentally lost, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”

After Mrs. Lu explained, she told Mama Qian to go over and get the portrait.

She still has to send this portrait to the Zhao family in Baoding Mansion, and she must not let Lu Er take it.

There was still some pity in the eyes of the second master Lu.

But it was indeed better to put it in his mother's place, his study was often haunted, and if it was used by people with ulterior motives to make a fuss, it would be bad at that time.

Second Master Lu did not insist on leaving the portrait anymore, but rolled it up and handed it to Mama Qian.

Wu also felt that it was appropriate to place the portrait here with Mrs. Lu, and the couple never thought that Mrs. Lu would send Mrs. Lu Shuyi's portrait to Zhao's house.

Mrs. Lu naturally left the portrait.

However, it is impossible for her to send this portrait to the servants of the Lu family directly to the Zhao family in Baoding Mansion, and she has not yet rushed to marry her granddaughter.

What Mrs. Lu could think of, Mrs. He naturally thought of it.

Therefore, Mrs. He Er had already sent a letter to Mrs. Lu before Wang Xiu came, asking her to hand over the portrait to Mama Jiao beside He Tai, and Mama Jiao would send someone to send the portrait to the Zhao family in Baoding Mansion.

Mrs. Lu sent someone to find an excuse to find Mama Jiao beside He Tai.

Before Mrs. Lu could speak, Mama Jiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the portrait of the third lady will definitely be sent to Baoding Mansion safely." ”

Mama Jiao was so active, Mrs. Lu had nothing to say, only said two sentences: "You also know the significance of this portrait to girls, if you go on a business trip, maybe it will be a big matter of human life." ”

Mama Jiao immediately said: "You can rest assured, it is guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and then she relieved Mama Qian to give Mama Lu Shuyi's portrait to Mama Jiao, and gave an additional ten taels of silver tickets to Mama Jiao, asking her to be careful not to lose the portrait.

Mama Jiao is in the three guarantees, that's it.

……

Three days after the portrait was sent, Chen, the eldest lady of the Zhao family in Baoding Mansion, got the portrait of Lu Shuyi.

Chen wore a very simple shirt, a washed half-worn cotton jacket, the orchids on it were a little whitish, the color of the red horse-faced skirt was not so bright, and as for the headdress or something, she only wore a very simple ivory hairpin.

The portrait was personally sent by He Tai's little servant, the big tiger, and the big maid Yun'er.

Yun'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is good at riding horses, so she is the only one who sends paintings.

Chen took the painting and opened it, and first looked at it for himself.

The girl in the painting has white skin and red skin, and her eyes are like black agate, which is beautiful and dazzling.

Yun'er smiled and introduced to the Chen family: "The slave maid has seen the third lady of the Lu family with her own eyes, and that appearance is really one in a thousand. Madam, if you meet a real person, you will definitely like it, because she is more beautiful than a painting. ”

"Is it really that pretty?" The old lady beside Chen expressed some disbelief.

Yun'er looked sincere and nodded desperately: "Really, really, absolutely true, if you see it with your own eyes, you will believe my words." ”

The old lady pursed her lips and said flatteringly: "It seems that our brother is blessed." ”

The corners of Chen's mouth hooked slightly, indeed, Lu Shuyi's appearance, she took a fancy to it at a glance.

Such a girl in the whole Zhili, I'm afraid I can't find a few.

But girls are too beautiful, will they not be able to hold it at home?

Since ancient times, there have been few beautiful girls who keep to themselves.

Chen frowned slightly, and asked Yun'er while looking at the portrait, "How is this Miss Lu San's temperament?" Can you get along well? ”

Yun'er replied with a smile: "Miss Lu San's temper is not bad, she is very generous and generous. She raised her arm as she spoke, and said with a smile: "The bracelet of mutton fat jade on the slave's wrist was rewarded by Miss Lu San." ”

Chen's gaze fell on Yun'er's wrist.

The bracelet of the mutton fat jade is in excellent condition, the surface is slightly tinged with a faint cyan, and the workmanship is also very exquisite.

Chen frowned, she had been married to the Zhao family for so many years, and she had never been willing to wear such a bracelet, let alone reward her subordinates.

From this point of view, the third young lady of the Lu family is really big enough.

Yun'er quietly looked at the expression on Chen's face, and she continued to smile: "Actually, the slave is nothing, you look at Miss Lu San's dress in the painting, then it is called Jin Gui." ”

Yun'er reminded Chen with a word, and she looked at the person in the painting carefully, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Yun'er said in a timely manner: "Miss Lu Jiasan was really eye-opening when she painted this painting. She was very attentive to Chen: "Look at the head of her head with red gold inlaid gems, the butterfly wings are hollow filigree, and the red and green gems on it are the best, this is not the best place, the best thing is that the eyes of this butterfly are a pair of night pearls, and they are as bright as day at night." Also, the slave maid also heard that this noodle was used by a certain princess before, and Miss Lu San is really blessed......"

Yun'er chattered endlessly, and Chen listened to it, only thinking silently in his heart.

After settling down Yun'er, Chen said to the old lady beside her, "What do you think of this family business?" Brother Yong and Miss Lu are a good match? ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "To say, this is also a good family matter." First, the Lu family is also a family with a head and a face in Changle Town, although it is not as noble as our Zhao family's scholarly family, but if you think about it carefully, Miss Lu San can also be regarded as worthy of our Yong brother. Second, this Miss Lu San looks really good......"

Chen shook his head when he heard this, and interrupted, "What's the use of looking good?" I married a daughter-in-law, not a flower that I didn't like to raise. She snorted coldly and said, "Think about what happened to our master and that little slut back then, isn't that little slut just prettier?" Hum...... What's the use of being pretty, not a prostitute yet, not a fox yet......"

As soon as Chen thought of the mistakes made by Master Zhao when she was young, she felt heartbroken.

What made her heartburn the most was He Zhao'er, the evil seed left by the little slut.

If she hadn't been kind-hearted back then, He Zhao'er would still be alive now?

Chen took a breath, she hated beautiful women from the bottom of her heart.

The old lady looked stunned and said with some embarrassment: "Maybe...... Miss Lu San is different? ”

Chen's eyes flashed, and one hand gently rubbed the tea bowl on the table: "Even if this Lu Shuyi is a good one, but she squandered her money so much at a young age, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to hold it if I marry Brother Yong." ”

Chen's has been simple for half her life, and she hopes that her future daughter-in-law can also be simple and simple, and live a good life in this family.

Lu Shuyi is like this, to paint a portrait, you have to wear such a valuable head, such a girl, the Zhao family is afraid that she will not be able to let her go.

"That's just as well." The old lady knew what the Chen family was, and she pondered: "Or, when the master comes in the evening, you will discuss with the master?" ”

Marriage should have been decided by her parents, and she really can't make up her mind alone.

Chen nodded, and then instructed the grandmother: "Don't tell Brother Yong about the portrait, wait until I settle down with the master." ”

Lu Shuyi on the portrait is so beautiful, she is afraid that her son will be hooked at a glance, and at that time, she will not be able to agree to this family matter.

In the evening, after Master Zhao came back, Chen took the portrait to Master Zhao and said, "I sent it here this afternoon, you can take a look at it first." ”

Master Zhao took the painting and looked at it, he took a sip of tea and said, "Isn't this kid very good?" Bleached beautifully, his eyes are also very clear, and in my opinion, he is a good boy. ”

Chen Shi glanced at him, and said angrily: "In your eyes, beautiful is good?" I wasn't pretty enough since I was a kid, so I'm not good, am I? ”

Master Zhao's words obviously touched a certain nerve in her, and reminded her of the outer room that Master Zhao brought back from Yangzhou many years ago, the slut who gave birth to her daughter and died in childbirth......

That slut is also very beautiful and has clear eyes.

But God is fair, giving birth to a child will cost that slut's life.

Chen gritted his teeth, his face unhappy.

Master Zhao also understood the meaning of Chen's words, after so many years, why did she refuse to let go of a dead person?

He lost interest in looking at the painting again, and only said lightly: "I didn't mean that, after so many years, you always come to such a place every once in a while, don't you feel annoyed?" ”

Chen Shideng's eyes were red, and he said with a look of grievance: "You think I'm annoyed? Okay, okay, okay, then I'll take a few of my children and leave Zhao's house immediately and move the land for you. ”

Old man Zhao's face was red and red.

But for so many years, he has always had a fear of guilt. If it weren't for his fear of guilt, it would be impossible for him to send his biological flesh and blood that had just landed to his sister's house to raise.

He thought of He Zhao'er, of his poor daughter.

"You don't want to be vexatious, and I didn't say that you should move me around." Master Zhao looked at Chen's eyes coldly and indifferently, and his voice was very weak, unwilling to quarrel with her: "I just praised the beautiful girl in this painting, and you said so many words, are you wrong or am I wrong?" ”

Chen's tears fell immediately, and she hid her face and cried, "It's all my fault, right?" I know you've been blaming me for refusing to keep that kid for all these years, have you? ”

Master Zhao pursed his lips in pain: "I didn't say that......"

"You haven't said it, but you think about it every day, don't you?" Chen wiped his tears and took two steps forward, "I know you've been blaming me, but ...... If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose not to have that child. Chen's tone was full of hatred, she clenched her fists tightly, and said word by word: "Because when I see that child, it will remind me of that cheap woman, it will remind me of my shame, and let me think of your betrayal......" Her voice was a little sad, and she said slowly: "I still remember when you married me, you will only be good to me in this life, and there will be no other women around you, right, cousin......"

As soon as the word "cousin" came out, Master Zhao's eyelids drooped, and the whole person looked extremely weak.

The past was like smoke, and suddenly it drifted before his eyes again.

Chan is the daughter of his uncle.

At that time, he and Chen were both in the best years of their lives, young and ignorant, the two of them fell in love with each other, and secretly crossed the line to do things that should not be done when they were ignorant.

Later, the two adults noticed what happened to them, dog days, the sun was like a big fireball, Chen in order to dissipate her family's anger, in order to make her family forgive him, she knelt in the sun, without eating or drinking for two days and two nights......

Later, she fainted, and then the two adults decided to marry.

Such an experience and touching are enough for him to say those beautiful Chen Nuo. But he didn't expect that after marrying, she would be so domineering and nosy.

She has to take care of his qiē, and she seems to be able to count clearly even a few snores when she sleeps.

This kind of Chen made him very afraid.

It was in this situation that he met Yu'er, the Yu'er who smiled as if flower petals would fall all over the sky. Such a beautiful girl gave him something that Chen couldn't give, and he felt very stable, and he didn't even want to go home to see Chen again......

Master Zhao pounded his chest with one hand, feeling that his chest was extremely sluggish.

Yu'er's death made him depressed for a long time, and he finally came out slowly, but Chen still did not give up, and always uncovered this wound intentionally or unintentionally.

"I don't want to quarrel with you." Master Zhao took a sip of tea with a pale face, and let the love settle down a little bit.

He really had enough of such a meaningless quarrel.

"In a word, since you don't like the girl of the Lu family, then reject my sister, don't let her worry about this family business anymore." Master Zhao turned the topic back to family affairs, and he didn't even want to see the Chen family anymore.

Watch it once, and he will be disappointed once.

Chen snorted, wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and tried to expose the topic of the quarrel just now: "It's not that I don't think it's good to be a family, it's just that you look at this child's outfit, how extravagant it is." Haven't you seen that she can give a bracelet to a sheep fat jade with any maid, such a girl, can our Yong brother surrender? ”

Master Zhao has been annoyed for a long time, and he no longer wants to dwell on this matter, lest he have any unpleasant words with the Chen family and the two of them quarrel.

"Since this is the case, then I will write to the second sister, and this matter will be revealed, and no one will mention it from now on." Master Zhao rubbed his eyebrows, got up and went to the study.

Early the next morning, Chen summoned Yun'er, gave the portrait to Yun'er, and sent Yun'er back after a few more instructions.

…………

said that when Yun'er hadn't left yet, Lu Shuyi and He Tai met quietly.

When they met, He Tai told her about Mrs. Lu going to send her portrait to the Zhao family.

She only smiled faintly and said, "I already knew, and I also knew that you could help me this time, right?" ”

When Lu Shuyi dressed up for the portrait that day, he already knew her intentions.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and asked her, "You want my people to say a few kind words for you in front of my aunt, right?" ”

"Since you know everything, will you help me?" Lu Shuyi's eyes sparkled, and she looked at He Tai fixedly.

Now when she looked at him, her heart would no longer be so fawn-pounding, it was calm, very calm, very calm.

It's like this when I don't love it......

The corners of her mouth tugged slightly, perhaps, in her previous life, she was not in love with He Tai, but just infatuated......

Anyway, some of the memories are still very good.

Ho Tai also looked at her.

He asked Lu Shuyi: "Are you really sure you don't marry my cousin?" ”

It was the last time he asked, and he was sure of her intentions.

"If I don't marry, I won't be able to marry him for the rest of my life." Lu Shuyi was very sure, she blinked her eyes and said, "Maybe...... I'm never going to get married in my life. ”

Her tone revealed a faint melancholy after seeing through the world, and her eyes looked into the distance with a little sadness.

What was she thinking?

He Tai suddenly had an urge to know what she was thinking, and he even wanted to ask, but he knew that even if he asked, Lu Shuyi would not tell him.

So he didn't ask, only said: "I said I would help you, and I will definitely help you." This time, it happened to be my person who sent the painting to my uncle's house, and I will tell her, don't worry. ”

"Thank you." Lu Shuyi expressed her gratitude very sincerely.

He Tai shook his head with his hands behind his back, and laughed at himself: "You have set up the bureau, I'm just a talker, what is there to thank?" ”

"I should be thankful anyway." Lu Shuyi rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave.

He Tai only looked at her back for a long time.

He couldn't remember how many times he had looked at her back. But it's weird, every time I look at it, I feel differently.

These different feelings seem to attract him, making him constantly want to explore, and keep wanting to get closer to her......

This feeling is especially obvious recently, and it even disturbs him to sleep well.

He didn't know what kind of storage he was in Lu Shuyi's heart.

I remember last year, Lu Shuyi always rejected him, what did she think in her heart at that time? Why ostracize him?

Also, there was a lot of news about her love for him, but he didn't feel her love at all.

To be honest, he was a little lost. R1152
