Chapter 189: Decision + Chapter 190: It's Done
After the two of them finished eating noodles and drinking soup, they saw that it was almost suntime.
Pan'er is still waiting in the wing, she has to go back.
Lu Shuyi got up to say goodbye.
Huo Tianyou took out a piece of paper folded into four squares from his wide sleeve and handed it to her, smiling gently: "This is where your third uncle lives in the outer room, and there are five or six people waiting for him on weekdays. ”
Lu Shuyi took it and thanked her.
Huo Tianyou thought for a while and reminded her: "If you want to expose this matter, it's best not to say it yourself, it's best to take yourself out of the hands of others." He said: "After all, your third uncle loves this outer room very much, if you move her, I am afraid that your third uncle will be in the day." will take revenge on you later. ”
Lu Shuyi also thought about this.
First of all, she had to poke out this matter, and she had to let the third wife know that the outer room next to Master Lu San was the handiwork of Qian Wenchang.
Only in this way can we prevent Master Lu San from communicating with Qian Wenchang in private, and the matter of Yanjing will be solved without contact.
But how to get her out is really a difficult thing, and you have to think about it.
Lu Shuyi nodded approvingly: "I'll go back and think about it before making plans." ”
Huo Tianyou said "um" and personally sent Lu Shuyi out.
When they were separated, Lu Shuyi specially told Huo Tianyou about Chai Xiu'e's address in Yizhou, and she advised: "You call someone to invite Mr. Bai first, Mr. Bai will definitely be able to cure Chai Xiu'e's illness, and Chai Zeng will be grateful to you when the time comes, and he will naturally help you." ”
The corners of Huo Tianyou's mouth twitched, and his smile was a little complicated.
Until now, Lu Shuyi still doesn't know that Mr. Bai is his disguise, and he and Mr. Bai are the same person.
He took it seriously.
Lu Shuyi was relieved at this time, and led Mo Ju and Dongmei to leave.
…………
As soon as Lu Shuyi left, Huo Tianyou ordered Shuangrui to investigate Chai Xiu'e, and he instructed: "If there is really such a person in Yizhou Wuru Lane, remember, please come back for me, just say that I can cure her illness and let her not be afraid." ”
Chai Xiu'e is a girl after all, Shuangrui is five big and three thick, I am afraid that he will frighten Chai Xiu'e.
"Don't be rude, just quietly invite someone back for me, remember?"
Shuangrui secretly held his forehead.
Is he really that rough? In fact, sometimes he is quite careful.
"Subordinates obey" he responded, his eyes sneaked up a glance, and pursed his lips: "...... That one...... You...... You are in good health, how can you cook by yourself? ”
Shuangrui hit the heart with one arrow.
The corners of Huo Tianyou's mouth twitched again, and soon his face was as usual: "When is it your turn to ask the east and the west?" Don't go to work yet. ”
Shuangrui smiled smugly and turned away.
Huo Tianyou let out a long sigh of relief, but the corners of his mouth were raised high, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle with a smile.
It feels really good to cook with Lu Shuyi, there is always a feeling that the male farmer and the female weaver are very comfortable, as if they are far away from the hustle and bustle, away from the rights, away from the interests, and the heart is very calm.
But what was it about his inexplicable sense of familiarity?
Huo Tianyou frowned and fell back on the Luohan bed.
In my mind, I still have the expression of a girl or gentle or cute, shy or ashamed, and then pinch my fingers, and the fingertips seem to be stained with the smooth touch of the girl's skin, which is very clear and familiar.
His eyes narrowed, a little dazed for a moment.
…………
"Are you really cooking with Huo Ergongzi?" Sitting in the carriage, Pan'er looked incredulous.
Lu Shuyi supported her forehead.
Pan'er asked this for the third time.
"How can this be fake?" Dongmei whispered to Pan'er: "I'll take a peek, Huo Ergongzi will also wash and chop vegetables." ”
Pan'er was very surprised when she heard this, in her opinion, this is simply a strange news.
Will the prince of the dignified mansion cook and cook?
She opened her mouth to ask a fourth time.
Lu Shuyi immediately said: "Don't ask again, this is the last time." She looked helpless and said: "In the future, don't judge people by their appearance, let alone by their identity, and ...... This is the most important thing, and you must not say a word about today's affairs. ”
She shouldn't have met Huo Tianyou in private, but if the Lu family knew about it, she didn't know how much trouble it would make.
Moreover, now that Huo Tianyou is in danger again, the fact that he is hiding in Daci Temple cannot be known to others.
"Do you remember?" Lu Shuyi looked at Mo Ju from Dongmei all the way to Dongmei with a stern face, and asked them to express their position.
The three of them hurriedly expressed their attitude, and Lu Shuyi was relieved.
However, Mo Ju was very uneasy.
Lu Shuyi has been in contact with Huo Tianyou several times, and the two have become closer and closer, and the relationship is getting better and better, and now they even cook together.
This is definitely not a good sign.
If this momentum continues, there will inevitably be emotions between the two that should not be generated, and at that time, it can only be Lu Shuyi who suffers.
Mo Ju felt that she had to have a good talk with Lu Shuyi.
When he returned to the Lu Mansion and carried someone, Mo Ju quietly pulled Lu Shuyi to speak.
“…… The slave maid thinks that it is not a matter for you to have private contact with Huo Er Gongzi so often, otherwise if you have something next time, you will send the slave and maid to talk about it? Mo Ju took the initiative to ask.
As long as Lu Shuyi and Huo Tianyou don't meet, the hazy feelings between the two will slowly retreat.
Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment after listening to Mo Ju's words, and after only a little thought, she understood Mo Ju's intentions.
Mo Ju was afraid that she would have feelings with Huo Tianyou that should not have happened, and she was even more afraid that she would suffer losses in the future.
Lu Shuyi's heart was warm, and she took Mo Ju's hand and said, "I know that you are for my good, and I also know that you are a hard worker." ”
Mo Ju pursed her lips and sighed: "Second Master Huo is a good person, and you are also a good person, but ...... But there are so many unfairness in this world. For example, the status between you and Huo Ergongzi ......"
Mo Ju had a faint sadness on her face, and her tone was also full of helplessness: "Every time you meet with Huo Ergongzi, the slave and maid are scared, afraid of death, I am really afraid that you will ...... in the future."
Only Mo Ju dared to say these words to her.
Lu Shuyi understood Mo Ju's worries, she nodded clearly, and her heart was also difficult to distinguish.
"I know, I'll ...... In the future, if there is something to do, you can go in my place. Lu Shuyi pinched her fingertips, she was in a light mood, and she said: "From the beginning, I didn't think it through, which made you worry." ”
Mo Ju shook her head, but she felt extremely sorry for Lu Shuyi in her heart.
It would be great if Lu Shuyi was also from an aristocratic family, if that was the case, even if there was something between her and Huo Tianyou, the two adults should also be able to fulfill a good relationship.
But now they are not a good fate at all, and in the eyes of outsiders, this can only be a bad fate......
Since it is a bad fate, it is better to let it be broken when it should be broken.
After all, a qiē hasn't started yet, and if it hasn't started, there shouldn't be too much pain.
Mo Ju quietly looked at Lu Shuyi.
Lu Shuyi had a faint expression on her face and frowned slightly.
Mo Ju was afraid that she would think too much, so she turned the topic to the issue of Master Lu San's outer room, and she hesitated: "How can we let the third wife know about this matter?" If we go to say, I'm only afraid of the sun||The last three masters hold a grudge, but if we don't say it, who should we let say it? ”
Huo Tianyou said that he wanted to fake the hands of others.
But who should this other person be?
Lu Shuyi pondered carefully in her heart.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth were stained with a hint of joy, and she said in a low voice: "I have to work for you again in this matter." ”
Mo Ju leaned his ears up.
Lu Shuyi covered the handkerchief and whispered, "Don't let people find out your true identity, remember, let them make as much trouble as they can, and they don't have to be soft." ”
Mo Ju nodded.
Lu Shuyi gave Mo Ju another fifty taels of broken silver and asked her to fight some little ghosts.
Silver tickets are easy for people to find out the details, but broken silver is not.
As soon as Qiē is ready, she just waits to watch a good show.
The Lu family is as usual, and Lu Shuyi still stays in the room every day or copies scriptures, or becomes a female celebrity, and her life is very comfortable.
Until the third day of the lunar month, Yun'er came back from Zhao's house in Baoding Mansion.
As soon as Yun'er came back, she went to find He Tai.
He Tai branched out of the people who were serving around her, and she smiled and said to He Tai: "According to your instructions, the slave and maid told her how Miss Yibiao dressed up, how to reward her subordinates, and how to live on weekdays in front of her uncle and grandmother of the Zhao family. ”
He Tai nodded with satisfaction.
He knew that his aunt didn't like the luxury of girls' dresses the most, and he didn't like extravagance and waste. If Lu Shuyi was said to be something she didn't like, she would definitely not agree to Lu Shuyi marrying into their Zhao family.
"Sure enough, as you expected, when the uncle and grandmother of the Zhao family knew this, her face changed...... "Yun'er told He Tai word for word how Mrs. Zhao changed her face, and how she finally rejected her relatives.
He Tai breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face.
He promised Lu Shuyi to help her block this family business, and the gentleman will do what he says, and he did it.
"It's hard for you to run a trip, and you'll have to talk back to Mrs. Lu later." He Tai personally poured a cup of tea for Yun'er.
Yun'er has been serving by his side since he was a child, and the two of them are masters and servants in front of them, and they are good friends in the back.
Yun'er took the tea bowl and took a sip generously, and said very puzzled: "Childe, in fact, the slave maid really doesn't understand why you want to help Miss Yi?" Is it bad for her to marry into the Zhao family? ”
"Do you think so?" He Tai asked rhetorically.
His cousin is a well-known straw bag, and he thinks that Lu Shuyi should marry someone who can match her, and this person is definitely not Zhao Yong.
Yun'er pursed her lips and said objectively: "Hmm...... If you think about it carefully, the young master is a little ...... Some are not worthy of Miss Yi. But didn't our second miss say that Miss Yi admires you? ”
"Don't talk nonsense." He Tai immediately glared at Yun'er.
He did think so before, and stupidly asked Lu Shuyi with paper cutouts and letters, but Lu Shuyi clearly denied it.
Her eyes told him that she wasn't lying.
So he also checked the paper-cutting in private, as Lu Shuyi said, the paper-cutting was indeed what Lu Shuqi asked for from her, not for him.
In other words, this matter was completely framed by Lu Shuqi on her own.
But he thought about it for so long and didn't understand why Lu Shuqi had to hurt Lu Shuyi like this? And to pull him into the water......
What is Lu Shuqi's mind?
He Tai groaned slightly, and said to Yun'er: "Clean up and go back to Mrs. Lu, don't let her wait." ”
Yun'er nodded, blinked her eyes again and whispered, "Childe doesn't look at Miss Yi's portrait?" She said mysteriously: "The portrait of Master Wang is very good, and Miss Yi is a beauty, this painting is really the most beautiful painting that the slave has ever seen." ”
Speaking of this, Yun'er got up and took Lu Shuyi's portrait from the table, and looked at He Tai with a smile: "Childe does you want to see it?" ”
The corners of He Tai's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he looked uncomfortable.
“…… Ahem, how embarrassed am I to look at the girl's portrait, you ...... You take it. ”
"Since the son doesn't look at it, the slave and maid will take it." Yun'er smiled narrowly.
She hasn't been with He Tai for a day or two, and she can still guess what he thinks in his heart.
It was the first time he had helped a girl like this, and the significance was extraordinary.
Yun'er Shi Ran turned around, his steps were very slow.
He Tai frowned: "Ahem...... So what, you wait a minute. ”
Yun'er's eyes lit up, but she immediately turned around as usual and said, "Childe, what else do you have to order?" She raised her wrist with a smile: "Childe shouldn't want to take this jade bracelet back, right?" That's not going to work, you said, it's mine when it's done. ”
She pouted and looked at the mutton fat jade bracelet on her wrist.
This was given to her by He Tai in advance, and asked her to say in front of Mrs. Zhao that it was given to her by Lu Shuyi.
In this way, Mrs. Zhao will think that Lu Shuyi is a big-spending young lady who doesn't understand the word thrift at all.
He Tai shook his head, there was a subtle embarrassment in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and said, "You keep the bracelet, and it will be used as your box in the future." But let's show me the painting, you have a long journey, I'm afraid that the portrait will be damaged, let me check it first, and then send it to Mrs. Lu. ”
He didn't explain it, but it seemed ordinary, but such an explanation had a feeling of being a thief.
Yun'er pursed her lips and smiled, and opened the portrait herself: "Yes, it's still your thoughtfulness, Son." He smiled and said, "You take your time, take a closer look, if it's really damaged, let's think about it in advance." ”
He Tai's face was a little burned, but he still pretended to be calm.
To see if there is damage or not, he wants to see if the person in the painting is real.
The girls in the picture scroll are smiling brightly like spring, and their smiles and cheeks exude vitality and charm, which is really beautiful and beautiful.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Yun'er asked cautiously, and she sighed: "In the past, the slave maid just thought that Miss Yi was sometimes domineering, but since last year, she seems to have changed a lot, she is calm, introverted and generous. The slave sometimes wonders, what kind of family will a beauty like her find in the future? What kind of boy can match her? ”
She turned her gaze to He Tai's body, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said thoughtfully: "Miss Yi and you are ......"
"Don't talk nonsense." He Tai interrupted Yun'er's words, his eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Put it away and send it to Old Lady Lu." ”
Yun'er bit her lip and didn't say anything else after all, she silently put away the scroll, and then quietly retreated.
He Tai stood with his hands behind his back and didn't move for a long time.
Yun'er soon followed Mama Jiao to see Mrs. Lu.
said that Mrs. Lu had sent Lu Shuyi's portrait to Zhao's house since she sent it, and she had been hanging over this matter in her heart.
Yun'er's return also made her spirit relax a little, and she finally felt that the dust had settled.
Yun'er took the portrait and saluted respectfully.
Mrs. Lu asked about her going to Zhao's house.
Yun'er only said: "Mrs. Zhao said that the portraits of our third young lady are extremely beautiful, and also said that the skills of the painter Wang are exquisite, and in a few days she also wants to ask the painter Wang to paint a few portraits of the young ladies of the Zhao family." ”
"That's all?" Old Lady Zhao frowned.
Yun'er nodded: "That's all." ”
Old Lady Lu's brows furrowed deeper.
What kind of calculation does this Mrs. Zhao have in her heart? She didn't leave a portrait or say anything else, which means that she didn't take a fancy to the three girls of their family?
The red sandalwood bracelet in Mrs. Lu's hand is getting faster and faster.
Yun'er still stood with her eyelids down, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Or did Mama Qian remind: "Young Master Taibiao also needs someone to serve him, let Yun'er go back first?" ”
Mrs. Lu nodded, asked Mama Qian to take the painting and put it away, and rewarded Yun'er with a gilded hairpin, and instructed: "Good students go back to serve your son-in-law." ”
Yun'er thanked her, and Fang left.
As soon as Yun'er left, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but say to Mama Qian: "What do you mean by this Mrs. Zhao?" How did I get the painting back? Could it be ...... She doesn't look down on our three girls? ”
Mrs. Lu was a little puzzled, Lu Shuyi was an extremely difficult beauty to pick out, and Mrs. Zhao didn't have a reason to look down on her, unless she was blind.
Could it be that they don't look down on their Lu family?
Mrs. Lu was a little annoyed, the Lu family and the Zhao family were both from businessmen, but the difference was that their Zhao family had a few more descendants who were officials in the court in recent years, if it came to financial resources, the Zhao family was not the opponent of the Lu family at all.
What is there to be arrogant about her Mrs. Zhao?
Seeing that Mrs. Lu's face was not good-looking, Mama Qian hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at what you said, how can Mrs. Zhao not look down on our third miss?" Our third young lady is a fairy-like figure, and she is a serious Miss Lu family, how can they not look down on it? She comforted: "According to the slave maid, it is Mrs. Zhao who was shocked when she saw the portrait of our third lady, and felt that her son-in-law was really not worthy of our third miss, so she let Yun'er take the portrait back." ”
Mama Qian's words just fit Mrs. Lu's mind, she raised the corners of her eyes, snorted and laughed: "That's true, the third girl is the most outstanding one among my granddaughters, I actually didn't approve of this family business at the beginning, I felt that the stupid boy of their Zhao family was not worthy of my three girls, and now it is just right, it is exactly what I want." After a pause, she said again: "It is also considered that the eldest wife of the Zhao family is self-aware and knows that her son is not worthy of my granddaughter." ”
Thinking about this, Mrs. Lu's heart was much more balanced.
Mama Qian saw that Mrs. Lu was in a better mood, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "According to the slave maid, our third lady has a rich and noble appearance, and in the future, she will definitely be a phoenix flying on the branches, pheasants and the like, how can she be worthy of her." ”
These words made Mrs. Lu's heart more comfortable, she couldn't help but smile and took a few sips of tea on the table, and then instructed Mama Qian: "Call the three girls to come over and serve me for dinner today." ”
Mama Qian smiled and went away.
In her heart, she has always felt that Zhao Yong is not worthy of Lu Shuyi, and she also pinched a cold sweat for Lu Shuyi before, for fear that she will marry the Zhao family in the future. Now that the Zhao family has sent the portrait back, the matter has finally subsided.
When Mama Qian walked halfway, she happened to meet Lu Shuqi and He Zhao'er, who had just returned from appreciating plums.
After meeting and saying hello, He Zhao'er asked Mama Qian with a smile: "Seeing that you are so happy, where are you going?" ”
Mama Qian said casually: "The old lady asked the third lady to serve dinner, and I will go and talk to the third miss." ”
Lu Shuqi and He Zhao'er's eyes lit up at the same time.
Mrs. Lu usually asks her granddaughter to serve dinner, but she usually sends Le'er or Hong'er to talk about it, and she doesn't need Qian Mama at all.
Mama Qian personally came forward to invite Lu Shuyi this time, and she Lu Shuyi has a lot of face......
Lu Shuqi's mind moved slightly, thinking of what her mother said a few days ago, could it be that Mrs. Lu was going to talk to Lu Shuyi about the Zhao family's family affairs?
It would be great if that were the case.
She decided to find out, and said to Mama Qian with a smile: "It just so happens that I also have some embroidery matters to ask the third sister, so I'll accompany you over." ”
He Zhao'er also immediately smiled and said, "I will also accompany you." ”
These days, her brother's attitude towards Lu Shuyi is obedient, she always feels that these two people are wrong, she has to go and see.
Lu Shuqi and He Zhao'er both wanted to accompany Mama Qian to Lanyue Pavilion.
Mama Qian didn't have a reason to refuse, and responded with a smile.
The group went to Lanyue Pavilion together.
Lu Shuyi is sitting on the show couch to be a female celebrity, and it is almost the New Year, she wants to make a pair of shoes for her father and younger brother.
In her previous life, she didn't have the heart to make shoes for them, but in this life she wants to make amends and let them wear shoes made by her.
Mo Ju and Dong Mei were on the side, and the three of them were talking happily together, and the atmosphere was very good.
When Mama Qian went in, she happened to see the upper of the shoe glued by Lu Shuyi herself, she took it in her hand and looked at it again and again, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Miss San, you still have such craftsmanship, look at how beautiful the upper is." ”
Lu Shuyi smiled lightly: "It's you who praised it." He hurriedly asked Mo Ju and Dong Mei to pour tea for Mama Qian and Lu Shuqi.
She could almost guess the purpose of Mama Qian's visit, because she had already heard the news of Yun'er's return.
But why did He Zhaoer and Lu Shuqi come with them? Her gaze quietly swept over the two men.
The two of them were very indifferent, sat side by side on the show, and then took her shoes and turned them over to look at it.
"The third sister's craftsmanship is really good." Lu Shuqi had a smile on her face, looking virtuous and virtuous.
If it was in her previous life, Lu Shuyi would definitely not hesitate to believe that the smile on her face was sincere, but now she won't, that smile will only make her see hypocrisy.
"If the second sister likes it, I'll make a few pairs for the second sister when I marry the second sister another day." She smiled quietly, and said to He Zhao'er: "If Cousin Zhao'er wants, I will give you a few pairs when you get married." ”
Lu Shuqi and He Zhao'er's faces turned red and white, and they clenched their fists at the same time.
Lu Shuyi only pretended not to see it, and talked to Mama Qian with a smile: "I got up early this morning and made some nectar cakes, just when you came, I'll give you a taste." ”
She turned to Holly to bring the nectar cake.
Mama Qian smiled and couldn't see her teeth, and excused herself: "How embarrassing is this, how embarrassing is this......" and said: "I'm here to pass on the old lady's words, she asked you to come over and serve her for dinner later." ”R1152
