Chapter 093: Seeing Things

Lu Xuan and Lu Yu's stepmother, because of her identity, she has never felt sorry for Lu Yu and Lu Xuan.

The stepmother even bowed down in front of Lu Xuan and made a small one, without the momentum of the master at all. Even if she relied on her father's liking, her stepmother didn't dare to be arrogant, not even a concubine.

Such a stepmother is much better than a stepmother who is from a famous family and has ideas, at least Lu Xuan doesn't have to be distracted to deal with her.

When she arrived at this mansion, the old woman naturally thought that the maid had taken Ling Qingyun to greet the eldest lady.

Unexpectedly, Cha Yan said lightly: "It's not to see the eldest lady." The second lady asked the maid to take this distinguished guest to see the house of the ninth girl. ”

Don't take your stepmom seriously at all.

The woman looked at Ling Qingyun with curiosity in her eyes. Ling Qingyun also looked at her, smiling, but there was no sense of familiarity in her eyes.

She didn't remember the woman.

Cha Yan led Ling Qingyun and went straight to the courtyard where Lu Yu once lived.

Ling Qingyun asked Cha Yan: "Sister, don't you need to say hello to the eldest lady?" "When I arrived at someone's house, I naturally had to greet the hostess.

Ling Qingyun actually wanted to meet her stepmother. Seeing that woman, maybe she could think of what to www.biquge.info in the Fun Pavilion.

Under the eyes of the tea smoke, there was a little disdain. It can be seen that the stepmother's status in the Lu family has not improved over the years. Especially after his father lost his official position and resigned, his stepmother's status was even lower, and she didn't even take her seriously.

"The eldest lady eats fasting and recites Buddha, and she only sees guests on the fifteenth day of the new year. You went, and you also disturbed her Qingxiu. Cha Yan smiled and said, "Let's go, the maid will take you over directly." ”

You just don't need to say hello to your stepmom.

Ling Qingyun didn't say anything anymore.

She didn't pity her stepmother, she didn't worry about her life, and when she heard these words, there were no ripples in her heart.

Since she couldn't see her stepmother, Ling Qingyun didn't feel sorry, she just wanted to hurry up and see the house she used to have.

She followed Chayan to her former yard.

She suddenly remembered the way. The flowers, trees, carved beams and paintings of this courtyard are very familiar in every place, and the overall construction of this courtyard suddenly emerged in Ling Qingyun's heart.

She followed the tea smoke and didn't say anything.

Along the way, Ling Qingyun endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, and asked Chayan: "What about your eldest master, is he at home recently?" ”

The eldest master is Lu Yu's father.

"Yes." Chayan also sneered, very sarcastic, "The eldest man loves to drink, and he rarely has time to be sober all year round." Don't go to him, he's going to hit someone when he's drunk. However, he was not in this courtyard, but in the small courtyard on the west side, and lived alone. ”

After Lu Yu's father lost his official position, he drank alcohol at home all day long.

He was already tyrannical, and even more brutal after drinking. Not to mention the next person, even his wife and children were all beaten by him, and his stepmother and concubines were often beaten by him and their noses were blue and swollen.

The aunt and grandmother couldn't stand it anymore, so it was too damaging to the dignity of the Lu family, so they took the initiative and locked him up in the small cross-courtyard in the west.

The wine was given to him, but he was not allowed to enter the compound.

In the end, the eldest lord is the queen's father and the national abbot. The Lu family locked him up, and they didn't dare to tell the truth to the outside world, on the surface they just persuaded him to recuperate, but the people guessed it.

When Lu Xuan heard the news, he was very happy. Lu Xuan was very happy that day, drank a lot of wine, and the official family was also in front of her, looking at Lu Xuan with bright eyes.

Lu Yu also suddenly remembered this incident.

"Isn't he drunk yet?" Ling Qingyun thought.

Thinking of her father, Ling Qingyun didn't have any pity.

The man who beats his wife and children is simply a devil! The two sisters were even unfortunate to be born into such a family.

"Miss Ling, now in our house, it is the third lady who presides over the feed, and she is also in front of the second lady." Cha Yan smiled and continued to say to Ling Qingyun, "Our Lu clan is not like other families, and we have the most important rules. Whoever is in charge of the house, naturally whose words count. The third lady knows that you are here, so you don't have to worry. ”

That is to say, even if it is a long house, the third lady nods, and she can still bring someone here.

This maid's words are extraordinary, with a condescending tone.

"When did this weird rule come about?" Ling Qingyun thought to herself, "Can the other rooms go in directly without a word from the ward?" In the final analysis, it's just that the stepmother has no status at home. ”

Now that Lu Xuan has passed away, the status of the long house is unlikely to change.

"It's not my home anymore." Ling Qingyun thought again, "What rules do they have, it has nothing to do with me, my surname is Ling now." ”

Thinking so, she followed the maid to her yard with peace of mind.

Ling Qingyun's courtyard is in the southwest corner of the main courtyard of the long house.

A small courtyard with a small three-story building. There are four main rooms on each floor and four small transepts on both sides.

There are still people living here, and maids and women come in and out.

Over the years, the courtyard walls fell into disrepair and some were damaged.

"Tea Smoke Girl!" An old woman saw her aunt's maid and immediately came over respectfully to salute, "Why is the girl here?" ”

Chayan looked inside and said to the woman, "Are the eighteenth girls and the nineteenth girls there?" The second lady asked the maid to come to a distinguished guest from Beijing to see the house where the ninth girl used to be. ”

"In, in." The woman answered, and then gave Ling Qingyun a salute.

Eighteen and nineteen girls are the daughters of their stepmother.

Lu Yu's stepmother gave birth to two daughters and a son. The son died when he was just one year old, and the two daughters are lively and healthy, and they have been raised so far.

One of them was eight years old and the other was six years old, and they were all childish, and they were carried by the nurse and came out to meet the guests.

Both children are very white, with round eyes, lively and cute.

"Jiu Niang's house has never been moved, girl, please come with the maid." A mother in her forties, dressed in a silver-red gown, decent, said to Chayan and Ling Qingyun.

She is the mother of the chief steward here, surnamed Xu. She is responsible for taking care of both the two children and taking care of the yard.

Ling Qingyun recognized her, Mother Xu was Lu Yu's mother's companion, she was very loyal in the past, and she also served in front of Lu Yu. Unexpectedly, she is still in the Lu family now.

The mother who was the chief steward here on an errand was probably assigned by her aunt and grandmother.

The stepmother's two daughters, both of whom live on the first floor; And the second floor, which used to be Lu Yu and Lu Xuan's boudoir, has not been touched so far.

Back then, she and Lu Xuan also lived here, and the first floor was where they entertained guests, and they didn't live there. It is also because Lu Xuan feels that the first floor is very humid.

The housekeeper's mother led Ling Qingyun and Cha Yan up to the second floor.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a long smell of sandalwood.

"Why do you still light incense?" Ling Qingyun asked.

The housekeeper's mother replied, "Every five days, the maidservant must have someone come up to clean and ventilate the house, so that the house and things do not break." Light up sandalwood and get rid of the smell of dust. ”

Ling Qingyun nodded.

The mother in charge wanted to ask Ling Qingyun why she came here. However, she was wary by nature and did not want to show her clues in front of the guests, so she endured it and did not ask, as if she was not interested.

"To the west is Jiu Niang's house." Mom sued sù Ling Qingyun.

Ling Qingyun nodded and asked her to open the door.

After opening the door, Ling Qingyun stepped into the room, her eyes suddenly heated, and her eyes were foggy. Although the house was full of sandalwood fragrance, and the smell was long gone, the furnishings in the room had not changed at all, exactly the same as in her dream.

There are several books on her bookcase, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone; At the head of her bed, and a few changed clothes; There were tea cups on the table, all of which were in her favorite colors and styles.

The furnishings in the house are simple, because Lu Yu only comes back for a few days every year, and it is not because she has passed away.

"Can you give me this sewing basket?" Ling Qingyun found a sewing basket on her window kang, which also contained unfinished needlework and an old handkerchief.

The housekeeper's mother was shocked: "This girl, this is the relic of our family's Jiu Niang." ”

Cha Yan said: "Mother Xu, Miss Ling is the distinguished guest of the second wife, since she likes it, send someone to ask the second wife." If it's right, give it to her. ”

Mother Xu pursed her lips tightly, looking very painful and angry.

This is Jiuniang's thing, the little maid in the second room actually wants to give it away casually!

"Forget it, forget it!" Ling Qingyun immediately put it down and said, "It's me who is rude." When I saw Sister Jiu Niang's things, I was a little out of shape. ”

"Are the girls and Jiuniang acquainted?" Xu's mother asked.

Ling Qingyun said: "She once instructed me in medical skills."

Mother Xu was slightly surprised and said, "The girl knows how to heal?" Her eyes were a little wet, and she immediately thought of Jiu Niang, "Our Jiu Niang has the best medical skills." ”

Ling Qingyun remembered that she had treated this Xu's mother.

When this Xu's mother was young, her left leg was injured, and later every time it was cloudy, her heart hurt, life was better than death, and Lu Yu cured it.

"Sister Jiuniang's medical skills are indeed outstanding, she also said that Mother Xu, your leg was also cured by her, I don't know if you have relapsed over the years?" Ling Qingyun asked.

Cha Yan was a little surprised, she didn't know about it.

Mother Xu was shocked, and covered her mouth all of a sudden, her eyes were already wet: "Girl, it turns out that she is really Jiuniang's old friend!" Jiuniang remembered the servant, and also said about the servant? ”

Ling Qingyun nodded and said, "I said it," she briefly said about this mother's leg injury.

Mother Xu burst into tears.

It took her half a while to realize that she had lost her temper, took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, choked up and said to Ling Qingyun: "The girl is really close to Jiu Niang!" The maid knows that the girl also misses Jiuniang, and this sewing basket is used by Jiuniang at home. The girl will take it as a thought, and it will not disappoint your heart. ”

Mother Xu was a little hostile to her because Ling Qingyun was brought over by the maid in the second room. At this moment, her hostility vanished.

The things here were originally guarded by this mother wholeheartedly, and there was no need for the consent of the eldest lady.

The needlework basket is a gadget, worthless, and does not need to be accounted for. Since Ling Qingyun and Jiu Niang are so familiar, this mother made the decision to give it to her.

Ling Qingyun was very grateful to accept it.

Then she walked around the house again before leaving.

She remembered a lot of things, and her mind was even messed up.

Memories are floods that drown her, and she looks like a mess.
