Lu Shuyi frowned, and secretly wondered why Dingbeihou didn't send anyone to congratulate her birthday......

"Good! Third cousin, you've snuck out again. A voice suddenly sounded behind him, mixed with a smug laugh: "I knew you couldn't stay, and I guessed it." ”

Lu Shuyi's scalp was numb for a while, and she couldn't help but support her forehead......

Why is it Su Ziwen again? He's really haunted.

Mo Ju was startled, looked around vigilantly, and said nervously: "There are all female dependents upstairs, how can the young master come up?" ”

Su Ziwen said disappreciably: "What's wrong with this? Don't say it's here, it's the place where the old lady holds a birthday banquet, and I dare to go. ”

Lu Shuyi believed what he said, in his previous life, he was not afraid of heaven and earth. If he had said it, the Eight Achievements would have done it.

She didn't want to stimulate him at this time and make him do something out of the ordinary, and then she would have to burden herself.

"I'm going back now, where did my cousin come from, let's go back from where!" Lu Shuyi glanced at Su Ziwen, but did not get angry, but her voice was very soft, and Su Ziwen felt very comfortable listening to it.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, opened the folding fan of the landscape tower in his hand, and said slowly: "The downstairs are all sour, and I almost vomit when I hear the flattery." So, I snuck up when people weren't prepared......"

Su Ziwen's eyes were bright, and he looked at the scenery downstairs and said, "It's still comfortable here, and the ears are quiet." ”

Lu Shuyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, in her previous life, Su Ziwen didn't like those sour Confucians who chewed words and thought they were full of knowledge and knowledge.

"Then you're not a sour Confucian?" Lu Shuyi held back a smile and joked to him: "Last year, when you got off the field, didn't you also win the Yizhou Academy exam?" ”

Lu Shuyi had to admit that Su Ziwen was very smart. The perception is also extremely high. Although I don't see him studying weekdays. Laughing and messing around all day long. But he went down without ambiguity. I took the case back at once.

In this regard, these boys of the Lu family can't compare to him. Because of this, Mrs. Lu also has a special preference for him, looking forward to him one day becoming an official and entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future.

But in his previous life, Su Ziwen lived up to Mrs. Lu's expectations, since his mother died in childbirth, he has been depressed, and he should have taken the exam again. Shengsheng left his studies behind......

Lu Shuyi thought about it, if the eldest aunt died in childbirth in this life, would his future still stay in Xie Yuan's position?

How to remind him about her mother?

Su Ziwen smiled heartily with half-squinted eyes, he looked like an innocent child under the sun, looked at Lu Shuyi with dark eyes, and said proudly: "I just went to rush to count, who knew that I would be hit ......"

Lu Shuyi couldn't help but pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "It's really immodest." ”

But who makes people smart! Cleverness is capital, and envy cannot be envied.

Mo Ju was worried that the two of them would be misunderstood if they spoke in private like this, so she hurriedly said in a low voice: "Third Miss." It's time for us to go back, the old lady is still waiting for tea! ”

"Leaving so soon? I'm just here to ......" Su Ziwen glared at Mo Ju dissatisfied. A pair of peach blossom eyes stared at Mo Ju and said, "You...... Afraid that I won't be able to eat your young lady? Am I a tiger? ”

Mo Ju was stared at like this by a man, her face turned red, and she hurriedly avoided Su Ziwen's gaze.

"Okay, don't bully my people." Lu Shuyi looked around and said, "I heard that you will have more brothers next year?" ”

"Who said it was a younger brother? I still like my sister. Su Ziwen smiled narrowly and said, "My brother hates ...... so much."

Lu Shuyi ignored his words, and only considered: "Two days ago, I heard that there was a maid's sister-in-law in the front yard who died in childbirth...... It's a shame to be just thirty years old......"

Mo Ju frowned, the sister-in-law of the maid in the front yard died? The maid? Why hadn't she heard of it?

She turned around to look at Dongmei, who shook her head hurriedly, indicating that she hadn't heard of it either.

Lu Shuyi ignored the expression on Mo Ju's face, and only said to Su Ziwen: "Auntie's birth is not easy, but you have to take care of it." ”

Su Ziwen was stunned, Lu Shuyi never cared about these things, how did she remember to say these things now?

He frowned and muttered, "What do you mean?" I...... Why can't I understand? The sister-in-law of the maid in the front yard died in childbirth? Are you afraid that my mother will ...... too?"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to curse my aunt." Lu Shuyi had no choice but to say apologetically: "I just think that the maid's sister-in-law is too pity, she is only thirty years old." In fact, this thing could have been avoided, and I heard that there is a kind of midwife who can deliver difficult births...... As long as you find such a person early and prepare, there will be no such tragedy. ”

She mentioned Su Ziwen, if Su Ziwen was a smart and thoughtful person, he would naturally mention it to his mother when he went back. In this way, Lu Zhaoping may be able to prepare earlier, and may be able to avoid the tragedy of his previous life.

I hope he understands her kindness.

Su Ziwen blinked and looked at her again, and asked, "You mean that my mother should also find such a midwife in advance?" ”

Lu Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she understood it, and she smiled: "Isn't it good to find such a person in advance?" It's always good to plan ahead. ”

"Oh...... That's true when you say that. Su Ziwen nodded silently, and then said with a smile: "I really didn't see it, you are still so careful, I really didn't find out that you have such benefits before." ”

Since Su Ziwen had already been mentioned, Lu Shuyi didn't want to stay any longer. There are many people on such days, who knows if there are eyes staring at the back.

"The old lady is still waiting for me to make tea, I'll go first" Lu Shuyi nodded slightly at Su Ziwen, and turned around and left without saying a word.

Su Ziwen had a faint sense of loss on his face, looked at Lu Shuyi's back little by little, and sighed softly: "I worked hard to avoid everyone coming up to look for her, but I only said these few words and left......"

"This young master of the Su family is really bold." Mo Ju said dissatisfiedly as he walked: "He does his own thing like this, and he is not afraid of outsiders gossiping when he sees it." ”

"The slave maid thinks that this young master is very good and cheerful. Speak without being pretentious. Dongmei smiled at the corner of her mouth. "Compared to those pretentious men. Such a person, at least talk to him easily, and there is no need to beat around the bush. ”

"How is he?" Mo Ju shook her head disappreciatively.

When Lu Shuyi returned to the table with the teacup, everyone's topic had shifted from family affairs to the affairs of each family's children.

At this point, Lu Zhaoping is the most proud, Su Ziwen can understand the Yuan at the age of fourteen, such a person, why worry about not being productive in the future?

He Tai's mother always had some envy of Lu Zhaoping. It's just that this kind of envy among women will always have a sour taste more or less.

"Junyi was Xie Yuan last year, and he will definitely be able to win the case in the next year's exam, so he will have a tribute to come back!" Second Mrs. He's voice was clear, and she looked at Lu Zhaoping and said with a smile: "I heard that there are only a dozen of them since the founding of our Great Zhou Dynasty......

Junyi is Su Ziwen's small character.

Mrs. He Er was obviously praising Su Ziwen for being smart, but the meaning behind it was that she felt that Su Ziwen did not have the ability to be the first in the examination.

If Lu Zhaoping answered that his son could be the first to win the case, wouldn't it be a shame if he didn't win next year? But if you don't answer. seems to have decided that his son must not be the first to be the case......

Lu Shuyi sneered in her heart, the He family is also a big family. That's it?

Seeing that Mrs. Lu's face was not good-looking, the eldest lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Who can say exactly what happened in this end?" But Junyi's kid is smart, so it should be no problem. ”

Mrs. Lu's face changed at this time.

After the banquet, the troupe downstairs began to sing "Magu Presents Birthday" to celebrate Mrs. Lu's birthday.

A long case was placed on the verandah, and everyone sat down to watch the play.

Lu Zhaoping saw that Lu Shuyi was not interesting to watch the play with Mrs. Lu alone, so she quietly said to Mrs. Lu: "Let the three girls play with the sisters!" I'm here for you. ”

Old Lady Lu didn't raise her eyelids, and said in a low voice: "I wanted to find a family affair for her...... It's really useless. After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "You go......"

Lu Zhaoping glanced at her, pulled her back a few steps and turned her back: "Your grandmother doesn't blame you for being useless, you don't have to take it to heart." Her eyes moved slightly, and she quietly glanced at Mrs. He Er and said, "I don't think the He family may be good, good boy, don't worry, you look like this, there will definitely be good people in the future." ”

Lu Shuyi was stunned, could it be that Lu Zhaoping had also heard rumors about her and He Tai.

Who told her?

Lu Shuyi thought in her heart, still with a smile on her face, and nodded: "I understand, grandmother is also for my good." ”

Lu Zhaoping nodded with satisfaction, patted her shoulder and said, "Go and listen to the play with the sisters!." ”

Lu Shuyi responded and turned to leave.

Over there, the sisters of the Lu family sat together, Lu Shujing and Su Liangyu sat together, and Lu Shuqi of Su Liangyu was next to her on the right hand.

Lu Shuyun, who was already sitting in the fourth room on Lu Shujing's side, was only Lu Shuqi with no one around at the moment, so Lu Shuyi went over and sat next to Lu Shuqi.

After Lu Shuqi and Su Liangyu, Lu Shujing said happily: "Sister, this "Magu Presents Birthday" is really good. ”

Lu Shuyi only smiled: "Let's watch your play well!" ”

Su Liangyu also said: "This Chen family's play is really good, although I don't like to listen to the play, but I listen to this play well." ”

Lu Shuqi introduced with a smile: "This is not the famous drama of the Chen family class, I heard that they will sing "Pan Tao Club" later, that is their specialty." ”

Su Liangyu let out a perfunctory "oh", and only whispered to Lu Shujing on one side, and the two laughed constantly.

Lu Shuyi glanced at Lu Shuqi quietly, and saw that her face was a little unsightly, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly with both hands, pursed her lips and said nothing, obviously unhappy.

She wanted to be close to Su Liangyu, but Su Liangyu didn't want to be close to her.

The two of them didn't seem to have anything to do with each other in their previous lives, huh?

Lu Shuyi was distracted, but Lu Shuqi suddenly pressed her face over and said in her ear: "Third sister, where did you go just now?" ”

Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "When did the second sister say?" ”

Lu Shuqi smiled, her eyes swept over Lu Shuyi, and she lowered her voice and said, "I went to change my clothes just now and met Cousin Wen on the verandah. The third sister went out for a trip, didn't she meet Cousin Wen? ”

Lu Shuyi was surprised for a while, and looked at Lu Shuqi fixedly.

Lu Shuqi's eyes were clear and transparent, but she couldn't hide the questioning in her eyes. In her previous life, she only knew that Lu Shuqi was married. I never knew the secret in Lu Shuqi's heart.

Look at thirteen-year-old Lu Shuqi again. Clear eyebrows. already has the appearance of a girl, and girls at this age love to dream the most......

And Su Ziwensheng's appearance is dignified, and he is fourteen-year-old Xie Yuan, who speaks humorously and can make people happy. How can such a boy not be admired by a girl?

Her heart moved, if Lu Shuqi really had any feelings for Su Ziwen in her heart, then He Zhao'er cut the paper to He Tai that day. Could it be that Lu Shuqi deliberately gave it to He Zhao'er? Or is Lu Shuqi also involved in this matter?

Lu Shuyi looked at Lu Shuqi's face, and felt a little chill in her heart. Although she didn't have much contact with Lu Shuqi in her previous life, she always felt that Lu Shuqi was very good, at least she didn't hurt her like Lu Shuqing and Lu Shufang.

Now it seems that it is not what she thought......

Sure enough, one should not just look at the surface.

Lu Shuyi remained silent, pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Cousin Wen said that he was bored and panicked, and he wanted to come up to breathe." ”

Lu Shuqi pinched her palm, looked at her with a smile, and said slowly: "It's weird." I think among our sisters, Cousin Wen likes to play with you the most. ”

"The third sister thinks too much. Cousin Wen is the same for everyone. Lu Shuyi interrupted, her eyes moved slightly, and she turned sideways to Lu Shuqi and said: "In my opinion, I still think he is good to the second sister, at least he will not embarrass the second sister, do you say it." ”

Lu Shuqi had an obscure expression on her face, pursed her lips and smiled: "Since the third sister thinks that Cousin Wen has embarrassed you, then the third cousin will avoid some Cousin Wen in the future, so as to avoid embarrassment." ”

"Thank you second sister for mentioning it, the second sister is right, I should avoid him in the future." After speaking, Lu Shuyi took a sip of the tea cup on the table, thinking secretly in her heart.

It seems that Lu Shuqi does have affection for Su Ziwen, I don't know if Su Ziwen knows about this?

Looking at his heartless appearance, he shouldn't have known.

But she couldn't figure it out, since Lu Shuqi had thought about Su Ziwen in her previous life, didn't the eldest lady see the clues?

Even if the eldest wife can't see it, then why did Lu Shuqi agree to marry Yangzhou in the end? If she reveals a little bit to the eldest wife, there is no reason why the eldest lady should not prepare for her?

Lu Shuyi suddenly felt that there were too few things she knew in her previous life, and the circle was only limited to her and He Tai.

Now the Qiē in front of her seems to be different from what she saw in her previous life, and the situation is becoming more and more subtle.

There was a cheer downstairs, and Chen Jiaban sang "Pan Tao Club".

Lu Shuqi turned her head and went to talk to Su Liangyu about "Pan Tao Club", but Su Liangyu was just perfunctory.

The birthday banquet was about to end, and the four masters downstairs suddenly came, saying that Dingbei Hou had sent someone to congratulate him on his birthday.

Old Lady Lu looked happy, and hurriedly got up and said, "Please come in." ”

Lu Shuyi can feel that Mrs. Lu must have been waiting for someone from the Dingbei Hou Mansion to come, after all, today is her sixtieth birthday, and the old ladies of other big clans are too old, and the Dingbei Hou will send someone to send a congratulatory gift, if she doesn't send someone over to Dingbeihou for her birthday, then what eyes will others use to look at the Lu family?

So at this moment, Mrs. Lu, a big stone pressed in her heart finally landed.

Dingbei Hou sent the housekeeper on the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the housekeeper is about fifty years old, ruddy complexion, wearing a gray clean face Hangzhou straight jacket, speaking in a voice full of anger, arching his hand with a smile and chanting and confessing his sin: "I should have come to you to pay homage to your birthday earlier, but I encountered some trouble on the road, I was late, and the old birthday star should not be surprised." ”

The fourth master introduced: "This is the horse steward of the Hou Mansion. ”

Mrs. Lu was already happy to close her mouth, and hurriedly said, "Steward Ma has seen outside, please drink tea in the house." ”

Steward Ma said: "God is not welcome, the old lady downstairs has already made tea, and we will go down after giving a birthday gift." ”

Lu Shuyi's gaze did not stop at Steward Ma, she looked at the man beside Steward Ma.

The man was dressed in a royal blue calamus robe, with a goatee. He is obviously a forty-year-old man, but his face is fair and clean, his eyes are as deep as a secluded lake, and his body is full of elegant and noble temperament that is difficult to hide.

Her eyes looked at it for a moment, and before she knew it, her eyes were a little red.

Mo Ju, who was standing on the side, saw that she was a little weird, and hurriedly whispered, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Shuyi's eyes were sour, she held back her tears, and said lightly: "I'm fine." It's just windy. Some are confused. ”

Windy?

Where is the wind?

Mo Ju was a little confused. She quietly looked at Lu Shuyi, cutting Lu Shuyi's eyes to keep staring at the man beside Steward Ma.

“…… Do you know that person? Mo Ju couldn't help but ask again.

Lu Shuyi didn't speak, but she was excited in her heart.

She not only knew this person, but also knew him very well.

She even knew that his favorite tea was the clouds of Lushan, his favorite dim sum was kumquat gingerbread, and his favorite thing was to play chess......

She knew so much and so much.

But she didn't know that he was actually a person from the Marquis of Dingbei......

Lu Shuyi squeezed the handkerchief in her hand. When I looked at it again, I didn't want to look at it, but I just met the man's gaze.

He is still the same as in his previous life, with a pair of calm and indifferent eyes, well-defined facial features, a high nose bridge, and the corners of his mouth hidden under the two handfuls of beards under the wings of his nose.

She even forgot to avoid his gaze, and the two of them looked at each other for a long time, until Mo Ju tugged at the corner of her clothes. Whispered reminded: "Miss, you ...... Don't look at it. ”

Lu Shuyi realized that Lu Shujing and Lu Shuqi were looking at her.

She pretended to be nothing. He said in a low voice: "The people of the Hou Mansion are really extraordinary, and a housekeeper looks so noble." ”

Lu Shuqing turned around and grinned and said, "Of course, the people of the Hou Mansion will naturally not be too bad." ”

Lu Shuyi didn't speak, her eyes were indescribably deep.

Butler Ma had already given a birthday gift over there, so Mrs. Lu asked the fourth master to invite Butler Ma and the man to go downstairs for tea.

Lu Shuyi's eyes fell on the man's body again, just as a breeze blew, and the man's robe flipped like a butterfly.

Lu Shuyi's heart felt as if she had been hit by a stone, and she couldn't tell the ......

Sitting back in her seat again, Lu Shuyi had no intention of listening to the drama anymore, her mind was full of scenes from Fang Cai.

She really didn't expect to see Mr. Bai again in such a scene.

In her previous life, the Lu family was defeated, and she and her sister Lu Shujing were sent to Xiangchun Tower in Kyoto. Xiangchun Building is the official brothel of Da Zhou, and most of the girls in it are family crimes and have not entered.

In such a place, a woman's body is not worth anything. Whatever a man wants, you have to give......

How could she accept such a fate?

was going to die with her sister, but who knew that when she woke up, she was rescued.

The person who saved her was the man who was just that, she only knew his surname Bai, and she didn't even know what his name was.

After waking up, she felt that life was worse than death when she thought that she would be ruined by men in the future, and she once cried and asked Mr. Bai: "Why do you want to save me?" You know, death is liberation for me. ”

Mr. Bai put his hands behind his back, she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and could only hear his calm voice: "It's liberating to die, but you can't enjoy the pleasure of living." Your sister is dead, do you want to go with her? If your parents had spirits in heaven, would you think they would still be able to rest? ”

Later, I didn't know what relationship he used, and the teaching of Xiangchun Lou not only didn't let her hang a sign to serve men, but also placed a separate boudoir in her backyard. In front of the boudoir, Mr. Bai also helped her open a vacant lot, in which some honeysuckle and roses were planted.

Mr. Bai once said that honeysuckle is the flower with the best patience and the flower that can best endure the baptism of winter.

Just like people, there are hardships in the world, and only the word "patience" can you survive the harsh winter.

It was also from that time that Mr. Bai began to teach her all kinds of things.

From Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" to playing chess and painting, to embroidering pipa, as long as he comes to Xiangchun Building, he will teach her hand-in-hand.

Regarding the affairs of their Lu family, he will also tell her as soon as he gets the news.

Even in early autumn, he would quietly take her out to play in the mountains and rivers, so that she could broaden her horizons......

In her previous life, she had thought about how to repay him, but she had nothing, how could she repay him?

She even laughed at the idea of making a personal promise, but Mr. Bai didn't move her, just turned his back and said: "I didn't help you to repay me, I just wanted you to know that as long as you don't die, as long as you live, there will be countless possibilities ......"

Lu Shuyi's fingers were deeply pinched in the flesh, and her mind was full of what Mr. Bai had said.

She thought that she would never see Mr. Bai again in this life, but she really didn't expect that God would give her such an opportunity to see him again.

I don't know when, downstairs has already sung the "Laurel Order" in the northern double tune. The singer's voice is tactful and soft, and the tone is poignant and lingering......

Hearing this, she slowly came back to her senses and said to Mo Ju: "It's boring here, accompany me to the garden for a walk!" ”

Mo Ju was startled, and hurriedly persuaded: "This is not good, now everyone is listening to the play, you sneak out like this, what if the old lady finds someone?" ”

In fact, Mo Ju was not afraid of these, she was afraid that if Lu Shuyi slipped out, she would run into Su Ziwen again.

Su Ziwen has no skin and no face, who knows if he will do anything out of the ordinary. (To be continued......)
