Lu Shuyi dressed up like this on purpose.

Yesterday, He Tai once said that Mrs. Zhao of the Zhao family in Baoding Mansion does not like luxury, and she is dressed up like this, and she is also full of pomp and circumstance after entering the painting.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and with such a style, Mrs. Zhao must have some scruples in her heart......

When Mrs. Zhao saw her like this, she wouldn't rest assured that she would be the daughter-in-law of their Zhao family, right?

Lu Shuyi gambled, she thought she could win.

The girls of the Lu family and He Zhao'er, they didn't notice anything, but Lu Shuyi was dressed like this to show off in front of Painter Wang, but He Tai, who was standing on the side, immediately smelled a different smell.

He thought about it slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

I have to say that Lu Shuyi is an extremely smart girl, she is good at grasping the details to deal with a thing, which is rare.

Lu Shuyi ignored He Zhao'er's malicious gaze, and still smiled dignifiedly.

The three of them entered the pavilion with light steps, and greeted Lu Er and Wang Xiu respectively.

Wang Xiu also seemed to be amazed by Lu Shuyi's dress today, he smiled and nodded with Lu Shuyi, and said with great satisfaction: "The red plum reflecting snow is already a very beautiful scenery in the world, if you add the appearance of the third lady, it will be a wonderful painting." ”

Lu Shuyi smiled slightly, and secretly looked at Second Master Lu.

Second Master Lu also had a smile on his face, and he looked proud.

Second Master Lu once said that several of his children followed Lu Shuyi and Lu Wenjie with his appearance. Wang Xiu praised Lu Shuyi, of course he felt that he had face and was very happy.

"Which one does Mr. Wang want to draw first?" Second Master Lu personally lifted the purple sand teapot from the small red clay stove on the side and poured a cup of tea for Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu thanked him with a smile, looked at the sisters of the Lu family, and finally fell on Lu Shuyi.

Although other girls are beautiful, they are not what he wants to paint. Lu Shuyi left a deep impression on him, and this girl is also very suitable for painting, so he naturally wanted to choose Lu Shuyi.

"Or ...... Let's start with the third lady? ”

Lu Shuqi's face changed slightly, and she scolded Wang Xiu in her heart. She is now the oldest girl in the Lu family, and it can't be Lu Shuyi's turn to come first, what kind of thing is she......

"In that case, then we sisters will go back first." Lu Shuqi's tone was very unkind, and it was the first time she had lost her temper in front of people.

The grandmother next to her was startled and instinctively tugged at her sleeve.

She didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to Wang Xiu and Lu Er's blessing, and said: "A painting can't be painted in a moment and a half, it's cold in this season, it's useless for us to stay here, and please don't be surprised by Mr. Wang." ”

Second Master Lu's face sank and he didn't speak.

Wang Xiu didn't think so, and said lightly: "It's cold this day, so please go back first......

Lu Shuqi's face twitched, and she turned her face and left.

"Mr. Wang, let's start the portrait according to the eldest and youngest." Lu Shuyi mentioned it casually.

Lu Shuqi listened to the footsteps and stagnated slightly, and gritted her teeth.

Lu Shuqing and Lu Shujing also said to Wang Xiu, "It's good to be young and old, so that you can see at a glance who is down." ”

The two of them also felt that Wang Xiuxian had hurt Lu Shuqi's self-esteem too much by letting Lu Shuyi paint it.

Lu Shuqi has been in the room for more than half a year, and she finally got better, so she shouldn't be too angry.

Wang Xiu was originally a person from Xianyun Yehe, he didn't care what Lu Shuqi thought in his heart, he was here to paint a portrait, not to see people's faces.

"No, let's start with the third lady." He calmly took the brush and began to find the right perspective.

Lu Shuqi's face was red and white, and her mouth was almost crooked when she was angry.

This Wang Xiu is too unpopular, but he is just a stinky painter, what's the big deal? Do you really think you're amazing?

She snorted coldly and hurried away.

Wang Xiu didn't even glance at it, all his attention was on finding the perspective.

Second Master Lu could only look at it and shake his head......

He Zhao'er and Lu Shufang also felt very boring, and Lu Shufang even pulled He Zhao'er and whispered: "If you talk about beauty, cousin, you are the best in the country, but today you are pressed by her Lu Shuyi in vain, I am unwilling to ...... for your cousin."

He Zhao'er has felt angry since yesterday, and Lu Shufang's words poked her heart even more, the more she hated Lu Shuyi.

She clenched her fists tightly, and snorted coldly: "This Wang painter also has no eyesight, there are so many girls in your Lu family, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, in my opinion, it must be her Lu Shuyi who has done something unsightly underneath, maybe she has quietly given a gift to Wang Painter yesterday, otherwise why would this Wang Painter praise her again and again?" Is she really that beautiful? ”

She raised her eyebrows, and her eyes swept around Lu Shuyi's body, she didn't think that Lu Shuyi was particularly beautiful, but she could pretend to be a fox.

Several girls in the fourth room frowned when they heard this, and left the land of right and wrong far away, unlike He Zhao'er and the others.

He Tai also happened to hear her sister's words, he frowned, walked around behind He Zhao'er, and quietly reminded her in her ear: "Say what should be said, don't say what you shouldn't say, the third cousin is not that kind of person." ”

He Zhao'er burst into tears and said aggrievedly: "Brother, are you blaming me? ”

Since she was a child, her brother has loved her the most, and he has followed her in everything, what is wrong with him now? How can you blame her?

It made her very sad.

He Tai was a little helpless, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Lu Shufang beside He Zhao'er, he hesitated for a moment before quietly saying to He Zhao'er: "You come with me......"

Lu Shufang's eyelashes blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He Zhao'er pouted and followed He Tai to move outside the pavilion, and when there was a distance from Lu Shufang, He Tai stopped and patiently reasoned with He Zhao'er: "It's not that I want to blame you, it's just that what you just said is really not listening." ”

"Why don't you like it?" He Zhao'er's mouth pouted, and she was very unhappy: "Then tell me, if she Lu Shuyi didn't give Wang painter benefits, then why does Wang painter favor her so much?" You see, in order to draw her first, Fang just made Cousin Qi angry......"

He Tai shook his head and sighed, he felt that his sister had spoiled him.

Playing with her since she was a child, she is whatever she says, she will give whatever she wants, she will always be the first in front of people, and she will be the last, and she can't stand half of the grievances.

used to think that it was his obligation to be a brother to spoil her like this, but now it seems that he is really wrong, and he is outrageously wrong.

“…… Don't you know how the painter is? Do you think about how his mother invited him? If it weren't for our grandfather's sake, he would have been able to come here? He Tai's tone gradually became stricter, he stared at He Zhao'er, and said bitterly: "People pay attention to a fate, Wang Painter is so fond of the third cousin, this is also the relationship between the third cousin and Wang Painter, are you right?" ”

He Zhao'er felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and still felt that He Tai was favoring Lu Shuyi.

She tugged at the corner of her clothes unhappily, and said with red eyes: "Brother, I think you have changed, you don't care about my feelings now, don't you know that I'm sad now?" As he spoke, a tear the size of a bean fell on the corner of He Zhao'er's skirt. She said sadly: "I always thought that you would put me first in everything, but now I find out that you are not, you really don't care about me......"

She cried, feeling that a heart had been broken by Ho Tai.

He Tai stroked his forehead and sighed again.

“…… I really didn't mean that, I just think it's unfair for you to speculate about the third cousin like this......"

"Then you sue me, what does it mean to be fair? Just painting, why didn't Painter Wang start with Cousin Qi first? Why start with her, who is the third in line? Is that fair? He Zhao'er was very angry, and her face turned red.

He Tai was speechless.

He felt that he really couldn't communicate with his sister, maybe it would be better when she got married.

He knew that if he continued to talk like this, never-ending problems would await him, so he chose his usual style and compromise......

"Okay, okay, it's the painter Wang who is wrong, it's him who is wrong......" He smiled at He Zhao'er, raised his hand and touched her hair: "Obviously, my sister is the most beautiful and cute, but he has no vision." ”

He Zhao'er smiled, but she didn't relent: "Liar, what you said is not the truth......

He Tai held his forehead, and could only coax again: "Sincerely, anyway, in the eyes of my brother, you are the most beautiful and lovely." ”

This time He Zhao'er smiled very brightly, and her mood immediately brightened, she didn't care what Wang painter was, what Lu Shuyi, she didn't care, as long as her brother was good to her, as long as he was willing to be attentive to her, she would be very satisfied.

"You have vision...... she pouted, turned around and looked at Lu Shuyi, who had already posed, and complained to He Tai: "You said that our mother is true, why do you have to ask Wang Painter to paint portraits of the cousins of the Lu family?" ”

She didn't know that Second Mrs. He wanted to be a matchmaker for Zhao Yong and Lu Shuyi.

He Tai's eyes fell firmly on Lu Shuyi, who was integrated with the red plum in the snow, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly bloomed, and he said slowly: "I don't know, maybe my mother just thinks that our two families are relatives, and it is extremely difficult to invite Wang Painter, since I have invited him, I want him to draw a few portraits of the cousins of the Lu family......"

He Zhao'er was right to think about it, just like this, it can also show that their He family is stronger than the Lu family, and anyone can be invited.

Thinking of this, her heart was much more balanced, and she had a smile on her face.

He Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that He Zhao'er would do something stupid, after all, this was the Lu family's place, not their He family. If He Zhao'er is wrong, it will be the face of their He family that will be lost.

And He Zhao'er is also older now, every word is related to her future, if she has a bad reputation, it will also hinder her choice of husband in the future.

Although he is not his own brother, he has grown up with her since he was a child, and he has long regarded her as his own sister, and he can't let her be ruined like this.

He Tai pursed his lips, and his gaze fell on Lu Shufang's body.

Why did Lu Shufang always get close to his sister intentionally or unintentionally these times?

He vaguely felt in his heart that Lu Shufang was not a good stubble, so he reminded He Zhao'er in a low voice: "Don't get too close to the seventh cousin of the Lu family in the future, after all, her biological mother is an aunt with a low status, and if you get too close to her, there will always be a sense of falling into your own value." ”

He Zhao'er didn't want to get close to Lu Shufang, and the two met at most to say a few words.

She said disapprerovingly: "I know, I won't be friends with my aunt's daughter!" ”

He Tai was relieved.

…………

said that Lu Shuqi was humiliated by Wang Xiu, and she almost wiped her tears all the way back to the room.

When I arrived at Yilan Courtyard, I threw myself into the room and cried without saying a word.

The eldest lady was startled, and hurriedly asked Mama Huang, who was following Lu Shuqi, "What the hell is going on?" Why did you come back and cry so well? When I went out, I was fine. ”

Mama Huang didn't dare to hide it, and carefully told the eldest lady how Wang Xiu said it, and she said: "It's not that our second lady is too careful, that Wang painter is really a little arrogant." ”

The eldest lady frowned.

Yesterday, she felt that Painter Wang was not easy to get along with, but she didn't expect to give her daughter a look today.

Didn't he just paint a few pictures of the princess? What's the big deal? Her maiden family is still the Empress Dowager He's own family......

The eldest lady entered the room to comfort Lu Shuqi: "He's just a painter, to put it bluntly, he's a stinky artist, what do you care about him?" ”

Lu Shuqi was still crying vigorously, and whimpered in her mouth: "I haven't been so angry when I'm so big, the third sister is a flower, and I am a grass?" She's expensive, and I'm low? ”

When the eldest lady heard her mention Lu Shuyi, she couldn't help but pat Lu Shuqi's head with a smile, and said word by word: "Even if your third sister looks good, what's the use?" It's not like marrying a straw bale ...... in the future."

"Straw bales?" Lu Shuqi's eyes lit up, and she sat up, as if she had taken a tonic, and asked energetically: "Isn't the third sister still unmarried?" How do you want to marry a straw bale? Mother, what the hell is going on? ”

Lu Shuqi thought of her Su Ziwen.

If Lu Shuyi gets married, Su Ziwen will die......

She was delighted.

The eldest lady didn't want to talk about Zhao Yong, but since she mentioned it, she told Lu Shuqi: "Your second aunt wants to be a matchmaker for your third sister, and the man is her nephew." This time, your second aunt invited Wang Xiu to paint, and she also wanted her brother and sister-in-law to see what your third sister looked like, and to prepare in advance. ”

Lu Shuqi pondered.

She goes to He's house a lot throughout the year, and there is another nephew of her second aunt who has not got married.

"You mean Zhao Yong?" She had a malicious smile on her face.

Zhao Yong is the biggest straw bag in the Zhao family, I still remember that when she was eight years old in the summer, she went to He's house as a guest, and one day they were playing in the study of her second uncle He Er, and He Erye let them read and write, and Zhao Yong happened to be there at that time.

The second master He wrote the word "婋", and Zhao Yong volunteered to pronounce it as "tiger" at that time, and Zhao Yong was already eleven years old at that time.

Eleven-year-old son, who can pronounce the word "婋" as the word "tiger", I'm afraid he is the only one, what is he like this is not a straw bag?

The Zhao family prides itself on being a scholarly family, and having such a descendant is also insulting.

As soon as Lu Shuqi thought of this, the smile on her face became even stronger. If Lu Shuyi marries such a straw bag, she will only be mediocre for the rest of her life, or maybe she will be angry with Zhao Yong before she lives to thirty.

The eldest lady nodded affirmatively: "Speaking of which, this family affair is really a bit unsuitable, Zhao Yong's kid is not worthy of your third sister in a hundred." No matter what Zhao Yong looks like, even his lazy personality is also wronged by your third sister. If your grandmother settles down on this family matter, I'm afraid that your second aunt will commit suicide by then......"

The eldest lady deeply felt that Wu's life was miserable.

Lu Shuqi was very happy, she said disapprerovitically: "Actually, it's not bad to marry Zhao Yong, at least you don't have to worry about his career." She sneered again and mended the knife: "Because Zhao Yong never thought about raising a career at all." ”

She felt that she was much more balanced in her heart now, what portrait was not portrait, it didn't matter at all, she just needed to know that Lu Shuyi would not have a good life in the future.

"By the way, did my grandmother agree to this family business?" Lu Shuqi asked uneasily, for fear that something would happen here.

Second Mrs. He said quietly: "Your grandmother's side is not far from ten, a few days ago, there were several incidents in the iron mine of our Lu family's Baoding Mansion, all of which were resolved through the mediation of the people found by your second aunt. ”

Lu Shuqi suddenly felt steady, she took a deep breath, and said to the eldest lady with a smile: "Then I want to go to the plum garden." ”

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment: "You are not ......"

"If you think about it, it's not wrong to draw Wang." Lu Shuqi interrupted the eldest lady with a smile, got up and sat on the dressing table to comb her makeup, and said: "People like Painter Wang who rely on skills to eat have some of their own little opinions and their own little tempers, and I am too squeamish. ”

She said this, but in her heart she thought something else.

She has to take a good look at Painter Wang, let Painter Wang paint Lu Shuyi beautifully, it is best to let the Zhao family decide the situation at a glance, then it is good!

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lu Shuqi had really seen the matter of Fang Cai!

Thinking about Lu Shuqi, she will also marry one day, and she doesn't know how many grievances she will have to suffer when she arrives at someone else's house, so she really can't be too squeamish.

She smiled and said, "You can figure it out, but about Zhao Yong, you are not allowed to say a word." Your second uncle and aunt don't know yet, and if they do, I'm afraid that the house will be restless. ”

Lu Shuqi agreed, and after dressing up, she couldn't wait to take Mama Huang and them to the plum garden.

…………

In the plum garden, Lu Shuyi put on a very ordinary posture of appreciating plum blossoms, although the movements were simple, but it was difficult to hide her temperament.

Wang Xiu lifted the pen and moved, and the painting was very concentrated.

There were many people around, even Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. III and Mrs. IV.

Mrs. Lu wore a lapel drape of gray squirrel fur, and looked at the girl on Wang Xiu's sketch seriously.

The girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, a tall and graceful posture, and a slight smile is like the morning dew in the morning.

The more she looked at it, the more entangled she felt in her heart, Lu Shuyi was the most qualified one among her so many granddaughters, she wanted to keep her for a few more years, maybe she would be able to climb into a prince's house in the future.

But who would have thought that Second Mrs. He's eyes would be so sharp, and she would take a fancy to her at a glance.

That's right, such a bright and glamorous character can be liked by anyone with long eyes.

"The three girls are really natural beauties||Embryo||Son, it didn't grow in the past, and it was not easy to see it, but now it has grown, which is really not enough for people to see. "The fourth wife is the most heartless of several wives, and she is also the best one for people, and it is difficult to find someone like the Lu family.

The third lady glanced at the fourth lady disdainfully, and said meaningfully: "What's the use of looking good, this girl, you have to have a good life." ”

As soon as she spoke, Mrs. Lu immediately glared at her.

The third lady closed her mouth in amusement.

She had already heard about Zhao Yong's affairs from outside, she was really sympathetic to the Wu family, and she didn't know anything, just like she was killed by Aunt An before, and she didn't know until she was dying.

In the final analysis, it is still the Wu family who is too dull, and he will always be sold and help count the money.

One word is called "stupid", and two words, then it is called "stupid".

The third wife's words made Wu's heart feel inexplicably uncomfortable, she secretly pinched her fingers, thinking in her heart......

In the evening, when the Wu family had dinner with the second master Lu, she hesitated to tell the second master Lu what the third wife said during the day, and she said uneasily: "I don't know if I am too careful, I always feel that there is something in the words of the third brother and sister, as if it is saying that our third girl is not good......"

Second Master Lu was drinking mutton soup with a small bowl of white porcelain flower and bird patterns, when he heard this, he stopped, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's you who think too much." Besides, there is some truth in what she said, some women are born with natural beauty, but they have a bad fate. But these have nothing to do with our three girls, our three girls are blessed children, and they will not be too bad in the future. After taking a sip of soup, he comforted again: "Besides, doesn't she still have you and me?" With us here, what is she afraid of? ”

Second Master Lu's words finally made Wu feel a little more at ease, and she secretly looked at Second Master Lu.

In the past six months, he seems to be considerate again......

The thought of this made her face feel a little feverish.

Second Master Lu didn't notice Wu's abnormality, and only lowered his head to eat mutton.

Wu looked at Second Master Lu and felt very satisfied. This is the life she wanted when she was not married, to be able to raise her eyebrows with her husband, to be able to get along with her children well, she has all of these, and she is very grateful to God for giving her these things.

Raising her chopsticks, she was thinking about a piece of meat for Lu Er, but she heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and heard the maid waiting outside calling "Auntie"

She froze.

Aunt An has not come to her house to serve at this time for a long time, she doesn't want to see Aunt An's face, so she doesn't have to come to serve, what's wrong today? Could it be that something is wrong? R1152
