Chapter Ninety-Four: The Epistles
Three days later, Mrs. Lu really sent someone to He's house to deliver New Year's gifts.
This year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the harvest of several farms of the Lu family is good. By the end of the year, the tenants in the village had sent dozens of game and a few bags of dried vegetables.
Mrs. Lu instructed someone to pack some and give them to the He family, after all, the He family is the family of the Empress Dowager He, and the Lu family does not dare to slack off.
It was Wu Zhong, the steward of the front yard, who went to give gifts.
Wu Zhong has done things for Aunt An, although this person is loyal to the Lu family, but since he can do things for Aunt An once, he will definitely be able to do it a second time.
Lu Shuyi had such an idea in her heart, so she said to Mo Ju: "Let's see what you think, can we send someone to follow Wu Zhong?" ”
Mo Ju frowned: "We don't have reliable people in the front yard, how can we send them?" ”
Pan'er, who was standing on the side, smiled lightly after hearing this, then took a step forward and continued: "If the third lady believes me, I have someone available." ”
Lu Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Who?" ”
“…… It is the nursing home in front, called Li Ping'an. Pan'er blushed and whispered, "He...... It is very reliable, and the third lady can use it with confidence. ”
Pan'er's expression couldn't be clearer, she and this Li Ping'an didn't seem to have an ordinary relationship.
Lu Shuyi thought about it carefully, in his previous life, he knew very little about the men in front of him, and he didn't think about using them, so he didn't have the slightest impression of this Li Ping'an.
But since Pan'er can trust him, then this person should be able to believe it.
Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers and decided to take a risk and use this Li Ping'an.
If she wins. will ruin Aunt An's plan......
"Just use him."
Lu Shuyi made the final decision.
Pan'er was stunned. Hesitantly: "You...... Aren't you afraid that he won't be with us? ”
"There is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is used. Besides, you trust him so much, I don't think he will fail us. Lu Shuyi smiled lightly and beckoned: "It's inconvenient for me to meet him, you come over and I say you, you tell him for me." ”
Pan'er didn't expect Lu Shuyi to trust her so much, and her eyes were almost red.
When she arrived at the Lu family as a slave and a maidservant, who had ever treated her like this? Only the third lady in front of them treated them like this.
With such sincerity, how could she live up to it. Pan'er secretly made up her mind. swore to follow Lu Shuyi to the death, and never had two hearts.
Lu Shuyi explained, Pan'er nodded yes and took the order.
When she came back, her face was full of joy and she said happily: "Things are going very smoothly, Li Ping'an followed Steward Wu to He's house to give gifts." ”
"Steward Wu agreed?" Mo Ju asked: "I just inquired, and the person sent to give the gift was not Li Ping'an. ”
Pan'er smiled even more happily, and said proudly: "Then you don't know how powerful Brother Ping'an is......"
As soon as the words came out, her face flushed. Hurriedly changed his words: "It's Li Ping'an......"
Pan'er's age is the time when a girl's love is beginning to bloom. Lu Shuyi smiled faintly. said: "You can call Brother Ping'an in front of us, but you must know the proportions outside." ”
Pan'er's face became redder, as if she could drip blood, and said shyly: "Third Miss, I ......"
"You don't have to say anything else, as long as you're not out of line, I can understand." Lu Shuyi's voice was slow, and she said softly: "Don't look at me small, but I'm not stupid." In the future, if you follow me, I will naturally plan for you. ”
Pan'er was so excited when she heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Miss San, thank you, Miss San." ”
"Get up, how did you get Li Ping'an to get Steward Wu to agree to take him to where he was?"
Pan'er raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's also a coincidence, this time I followed Steward Wu to the He family to give gifts to a nursing home called Da Zhou, and I happened to have some friendship with Li Ping'an." Da Zhou's daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby recently, and his daughter-in-law is afraid that Da Zhou will not come home at night......"
Lu Shuyi understood, she smiled and quipped: "Your brother Ping An is quite good at observing people, did he take the initiative to give gifts on behalf of Da Zhou?" ”
Pan'er blushed, pursed her lips and said, "Yes......"
“…… Li Ping'an is very good at being a man, so that Da Zhou still owes him a favor......" Mo Ju covered her mouth and giggled, and said to Pan'er: "No wonder you have a ...... of Brother Ping'an"
"Sister Mo Ju, I'm ...... I won't pay attention to you......" Pan'er was so ashamed that she didn't know where to put her hands, twisted her neck and hurriedly went outside.
"Look at her, she's shy." Mo Ju blushed with a smile.
Lu Shuyi said: "You also ask me about this Li Ping'an's background and personality outside, since Pan'er is good with him, I always have to plan for Pan'er." ”
Mo Ju nodded, raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you say that Aunt An will really ask Wu Zhong to send a letter to Second Mrs. He?" ”
Lu Shuyi picked up the wide sleeves of her coat with one hand, poured a cup of tea herself, and said lightly: "With her as a person, she should be able to, and wait to see ......"
…………
This is two days, and in these two days, Lu Shuyi spent the rest of her time copying scriptures in the study except for talking to Wu.
Since she promised Mr. Bai and Huo Tianyou to help them copy the scriptures, she must not break her word.
Especially Huo Tianyou, Huo Tianyou promised to help her suppress An Zhijin's promotion, but he said he would do it.
If she doesn't believe her words and can't copy the scriptures well, won't she be looked down upon by Huo Tianyou?
No matter what, you can't let him look down on himself.
Lu Shuyi held the pen and wrote stroke by stroke, and Mo Ju was grinding and waiting on one side.
The weather outside was very good, and the soft light came through the partition window, shining on Lu Shuyi's serious face, like a quiet and beautiful ink painting.
Mo Ju couldn't take his eyes off it, and said dumbfoundedly: "Third Miss, you have really grown up......"
Lu Shuyi smiled lightly: "If I don't grow up, who will protect my mother?" If I don't grow up, who will take care of my younger siblings? Do you think I love to grow up? I also had to ......."
Mo Ju, who said this, couldn't help but laugh "poof".
The sound of head and feet outside came slowly, and Lu Shuqi walked in with a smile.
"Yo, the third sister is practicing calligraphy?" Lu Shuqi was wearing a peach-embroidered orchid waist jacket and a long flower-sprinkled long skirt, and her smile was particularly delicate.
She said as she walked, "I'll go to your house, and the girl in your house said you were in the study...... When did you work so hard? As he spoke, he reached for the paper on the table.
Lu Shuyi picked up the paper and shrank back, and said with a smile: "Second sister, don't look at it, my handwriting is clumsy, it's really not worth seeing." While rushing at Mo Junu's mouth.
Mo Ju understood, and quietly went over to receive the scriptures copied by Lu Shuyi.
The corners of Lu Shuyi's mouth froze, her eyes swept over the scriptures on the table, and she raised the corners of her eyebrows: "It turns out that the third sister is copying the scriptures, this is weird, when did the third sister become interested in the scriptures?" I thought that the third sister didn't believe in gods and Buddhas! ”
Lu Shuqi rarely comes to her, this time, Lu Shuqi must have come for some purpose......
“…… The second sister smiled, I just wanted to ask for peace for my mother. Lu Shuyi looked calm, asked Lu Shuqi to sit down, and asked Mo Ju to make hot tea.
There was a dragon in the house, and Lu Shuyi's face was flushed.
Lu Shuqi took the tea cup and said a few words to Lu Shuyi absentmindedly, just saying that she was going to play there for the New Year, and what clothes she had prepared.
Lu Shuyi felt irritable, and said straightforwardly: "Second sister, is there something to find me?" ”
Lu Shuqi smiled softly, found a reason to turn around and said to the maid beside her: "Go, bring my hand stove and foot stove, it will be cold outside when I go back in a while." ”
Lu Shuyi also said to Mo Ju: "You pick up another plate of fried fruits for the second lady to taste." ”
The two tacitly separated the people around them, and after everyone went out, Lu Shuyi said in a deep voice: "Everyone is gone, if the second sister has anything to say, just say it!" ”
In her previous life, Lu Shuyi always felt that Lu Shuqi was actually quite ordinary, but in this life, she found out that this person is very thoughtful, and compared to a brute girl like Lu Shuqing, this kind of talent is even more terrifying.
"You didn't see my cousin Tai last time in the Su family, but my cousin Tai sent a letter saying that he was coming to our house on the eighth day of the new year." Lu Shuqi is also simple now, the edge of the flower tea bowl with one hand, raised the corner of her eyebrows and said, "Cousin Tai, they are going to hold a juju competition, will you go?" ”
"No, no." Lu Shuyi didn't think about it, and directly refused.
She had already made up her mind that she would never be entangled with He Tai in this life. Even if there is still love in the heart of the previous life, that love will have died long ago on the day the Lu family was defeated......
"This is his letter to you, do you love it or not." Lu Shuqi glared at Lu Shuyi, suddenly pulled out a piece of letterhead from her sleeve, threw it in Lu Shuyi's arms, and pouted: "I'm leaving, anyway, I'm just carrying a letter." ”
Ho Tai wrote to her?
Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while.
In his previous life, He Tai only wrote a letter to him, and it was still a letter asking her to elope. Later, when she met with Ho Tai, Ho Tai refused to admit that the letter was written by him......
Lu Shuyi pinched the letter in her hand, her heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, she immediately jumped up, stuffed the letter into Lu Shuqi's hand, and said lightly: "I still say the same thing, although they are relatives, but there is no blood relationship, it is better to pay attention to each other." I can't ask for this letter, and I won't ask for it, so the second sister should take it back! ”
"I said that I was just a ...... with letters" Lu Shuqi immediately blushed and said angrily: "If you don't want to, you can go with him yourself, I don't care about your gossip." ”
Lu Shuqi made it clear that she wanted to be a scoundrel and asked Lu Shuyi to accept the letter.
Lu Shuyi also made up her mind, she must not accept this letter.
She said solemnly: "Second sister, don't embarrass me, how did he give you this letter, how can you return it to me." Also, in the future, the second sister should not do it for me, if he has to bring the letter to me, you call him to come by himself......"
"What do you mean?" Lu Shuqi turned her face and asked, "If there is nothing between you, how can he write to you?" Do you really want to believe this? ”
"Don't ......" Lu Shuyi didn't let go, and refused in one bite. (To be continued......)
