Before I knew it, I had entered the Layue Gate.

After Laba is the New Year, the various houses in the Lu family mansion are gradually busy, and they begin to prepare all kinds of things for the New Year.

The Wu family not only had to prepare for the New Year, but also prepared to hold a flower viewing party for Lu Shufang, which was really busy in the past two days.

Lu Shuyi was afraid that the Wu family would be busy, so she personally went to the kitchen every day to make some soup and porridge for the Wu family.

On this day, after getting up early and dressing up, Lu Shuyi personally went down to the small kitchen to boil yam and wolfberry porridge for Wu's, Pan'er made a few braised eggs, and steamed a pot of steaming cornmeal steamed cakes.

Pan'er whispered to her while steaming the cakes: "Yesterday, Li Ping'an told me that Huo Ergongzi's injury was almost healed, and now he can walk around on the ground." ”

In the past few days, Lu Shuyi has not been able to find a chance to leave the house, she can only secretly tell Li Ping'an to let him find a chance to see Huo Tianyou. She also gave Li Ping'an a silver ticket of fifty taels, and asked him to buy good food when he went, so that she could be regarded as dedicating herself to Huo Tianyou.

Lu Shuyi said "um" and whispered: "That's good, you tell Li Ping'an, let him be careful when he goes, don't show his feet." ”

Pan'er smiled and said, "He's smart, don't worry." After finishing speaking, he said mysteriously: "But Li Ping'an said that Huo Ergongzi doesn't like to eat sweets such as dim sum......"

Lu Shuyi frowned, doesn't he like to eat dim sum? But he ate it that day, and he ate it with relish.

“…… Li Ping'an said, saying that the dim sum you sent over, Huo Ergongzi ate all the leftovers. Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Even Shuangrui and Shuangxi felt very strange, and asked Li Ping'an vigorously, is Miss Lu Jiasan's dim sum really so delicious......

Lu Shuyi listened silently, and had a strange feeling in her heart. It seems to be very joyful, but it also seems to be very apprehensive, and this feeling is very complicated.

Mo Ju listened thoughtfully on one side.

She said lightly: "Needless to say, our third lady's craftsmanship is already very good." But in my heart I didn't think so.

It is really unreasonable to eat all the things you don't usually like to eat just because of your good craftsmanship. After all, Huo Tianyou is the son of Hou Ye, what kind of dim sum can't he see in the Hou Mansion? How could he be attracted by a few ordinary snacks made by Lu Shuyi.

So, it's a little bit more delicate.

Mo Ju quietly looked at the look on Lu Shuyi's face, Lu Shuyi's expression was light, and she couldn't see any emotion: "Since this is the case, then let's do more next time, and let Shuangrui and Shuangxi they also taste it." ”

Pan'er responded with a smile: "Next time, the slave will teach you to make yellow rice jujube cake, and then teach you to make a few kinds of tart, these are all delicious." ”

Lu Shuyi smiled and said "um".

After the porridge was made and the food box was loaded, she asked Mo Ju and Dongmei to carry the food box and followed her to the Champs.

The Wu family gets up very early these days, and they get up before the fifth watch.

When Lu Shuyi arrived at the Champs-Pavilion, the lights were lit up in the west room, and the steward next to the second master Lu stood under the corridor to celebrate the blessings.

Father too?

The corners of Lu Shuyi's mouth immediately bloomed with a smile, her father spent the night here, and her mother should be very happy.

When they got closer, Qingfu smiled and saluted Lu Shuyi, and a few maids and women standing outside also came to salute and beat the curtain.

Lu Shuyi smiled and entered the western room.

Second Master Lu and the Wu family had already gotten up, and the husband and wife were sitting facing each other on both sides of the kang table and talking.

Under the light, Wu's face was ruddy and his smile was very vivid.

"You kid, why did you come so early to deliver food today?" Wu looked distressed when he saw Lu Shuyi, and hurriedly got up and pulled Lu Shuyi to sit beside him, and hurriedly told Mama Li to make ginger tea.

"I've told you, I have everything here, you don't have to be busy making me food." Wu shook Lu Shuyi's hand and covered her hands, and raised his face to reproach Mo Ju and said, "Why don't you come out and get a hand stove for your third lady?" It's not a joke to be frozen on a cold day. ”

Mo Ju's face flushed.

Lu Shuyi hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's that I don't want to use it myself, I'm not cold." ”

Wu smiled and touched her hair: "It's Sanjiu now, how can it not be cold." ”

Second Master Lu said disapprerovingly: "The third girl is very good like this, not spoiled." As he spoke, he winked at Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Mo Ju and Dongmei to bring the food box over.

"This is the yam and wolfberry porridge I made, this is the braised egg and cornmeal steamed cake made by Pan'er, and a plate of small pickles I pickled a few days ago." Lu Shuyi asked Mo Ju to put the food on the kang table as if she were offering a treasure, and put the toothbrush herself, and said with a smile: "You taste it if it suits the taste, if it is not delicious, you can make do with some face." ”

After saying this, Lu Er and Wu smiled with their eyebrows.

"Flim Flam." Second Master Lu took the toothbrush with a smile, and took a bite of small pickles on this porridge: "Well, it tastes good, and it's okay." ”

Mama Li and the others all pursed their lips and laughed when they heard this.

"That's good, I'm still afraid that you will choose, so I can't make do with it." Lu Shuyi smiled and personally sandwiched a piece of cornmeal steamed cake for Lu Er and Wu.

Seeing that the two of them ate well, she was also very happy.

Second Master Lu drank two bowls of porridge in a row, ate two pieces of cornmeal steamed cakes, and most of the small pickles went down.

Looks like he's still a fan of these things.

Lu Shuyi immediately took the hot iron and blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Ming'er, I also made food and sent it over, and I also have your share." ”

She wanted her father to come over and accompany her every day.

The mother in the previous life was so pitiful, and she hoped that her father could treat her mother well in this life and not let her be lonely and sad again.

Second Master Lu understood what Lu Shuyi meant after a little thought, he smiled and raised his hand to tap on the tip of Lu Shuyi's nose: "You clever ghost, okay, I will eat here for the next half month." ”

Wu's face suddenly appeared with a touch of shyness, and he secretly glanced at Second Master Lu.

"But I'm very picky, I won't eat these foods tomorrow......" Second Master Lu blinked, like a naughty child.

Lu Shuyi felt very ashamed, such a good father, how could she hate him in her previous life, it seems that people still have to communicate and get along with each other more.

Lu Shuyi agreed with a smile: "Okay, as long as your Chrysostom doesn't dislike her daughter's coarse tea and light rice, I can still do it by changing tricks." ”

Mama Li and Mo Ju laughed again.

Wu's heart was warm, and she was very happy with such a scene.

After a happy breakfast, Second Master Lu still had to go to invite Old Master Lu's Ann, and the Wu family personally served Second Master Lu and wore a coat.

Lu Shuyi was very considerate and took the hand stove to Master Lu Er.

Second Master Lu smiled and touched her hair: "You don't even use a hand stove, can Daddy still use it?" With that, he smiled and left.

As soon as the second master Lu left, Wu chattered with Lu Shuyi about the flower viewing party: "...... Although this thing is not big, it can be said that it is not small, and if it is not done well, the outside world will not know what to say about me in the future. ”

"Isn't Aunt An helping you?" Lu Shuyi lowered her head to peel fried chestnuts for the Wu family to eat, and chuckled: "You are only responsible for managing the accounts, and let the rest of the aunt and seventh sister decide?" You may not be able to meet their minds when you work so hard. ”

Mama Li also felt that what Lu Shuyi said was very right, and she thought about it: "If you let Aunt and Miss Seven prepare, the outside world will not say that you are not good, anyway, you gave them the silver." ”

Wu was right when he thought about it.

However, she was afraid that doing so would make Mrs. Lu unhappy, after all, Mrs. Lu had entrusted this matter to her, and it was really inappropriate for her to hand it over to Aunt An.

She frowned and hesitated: "This is not appropriate, your grandmother must be unhappy when she finds out." ”

Lu Shuyi stuffed the peeled chestnuts into Wu's mouth, and she said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, grandmother won't blame you." If you do this, maybe your grandmother and her old man still think that you are generous and willing to give power to your aunt, maybe this is what she wants to see. ”

"Is that so?" Wu pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Well, there are still many things to hold in the new year, so I'll leave the matter of the flower viewing party to her." After speaking, Wu looked at Lu Shuyi with a smile again, "Yesterday, the Pan family of Baoding Mansion sent someone to send a New Year's gift, which contained two fine woven gold brocades, and your grandmother quietly rewarded me with a green folded plum horse, and asked me to make you two new clothes to wear during the New Year." ”

The Pan family only sent two woven gold brocades, but Mrs. Lu quietly only gave Lu Shuyi a granddaughter, which shows that Mrs. Lu now appreciates Lu Shuyi.

Wu was delighted.

She knew in her heart that whether the girls of the Lu family could marry well in the future depended on Mrs. Lu, and her old man's words could determine the future of all the girls in this house.

It's a good thing that Mrs. Lu can value Lu Shuyi.

Wu smiled happily and told Mama Li to bring the gold brocade over.

Lu Shuyi's response was mediocre.

She was like a mirror in her heart, and Mrs. Lu might want to wear it when she entertained the Zhao family during the New Year.

She, the grandmother, has always done things for a purpose, and she doesn't do loss-making transactions.

However, this year, the Pan family gave this year's gift too early.

As soon as they entered the Layue Gate, they sent the New Year's gift, is there anything strange in this?

Lu Shuyi blinked, ate chestnuts and said casually: "This year, the Pan family is really positive, they sent the New Year's gift so early, I remember that in previous years, they were sent after the twentieth day of the lunar month." ”

Wu shook his head: "I also think it's very strange, in previous years, we gave the New Year's gift before they returned the gift, but this year it is positive." Listen to your father, maybe their Pan family is still thinking about opening a salt well with our Lu family. ”

The Pan family is really persistent enough.

Wu Shi said again: "Also, your grandmother sent someone to tell me that Grandma Pan is going to visit your grandmother in a few days, and I don't know why, your grandmother asked me to go back." ”

The Pan family and the Wu family are sworn enemies in the business field.

In the previous life, the Wu family was defeated in the hands of the Pan family.

Grandma Pan came to visit the Wu family this time, and it seems that her motives are not pure.

"It just so happens that I haven't been to see my grandmother for a few days, will you take me with you when you go?" Lu Shuyi looked at the Wu family with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Also, I have copied another volume of scriptures in the past few days, and I want to send it to Daci Temple tomorrow." ”

Grandma Pan is coming to Changle Town, and she has to talk to Huo Tianyou about it.

Wu frowned: "You kid, why did you go to Daci Temple again?" ”

Lu Shuyi stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "Isn't this about to celebrate the New Year?" I had to go early to make a wish, and if I went late, I was afraid that the Buddha would blame me. ”

"Okay, will you let me go...... I really just wanted to make a wish for you and my father. Besides, you can also see the weather these days, the sun is too big, and it is not cold outside...... Let me go, okay, okay......"

She pouted and looked coquettish, Wu really couldn't refuse, so she could only smile and reach out and stroke her hair: "Forget it, look at your sincerity, what else can I say, go ahead." It's just that you're always acting so recklessly, and I'm afraid your grandmother will be upset. ”

"How so." Lu Shuyi immediately said: "I also copied a volume of the Lotus Sutra for her old man, and Ming'er will provide it with it." ”

Wu Shi was relieved when he heard this, and nodded with a smile: "Well, that's good, so that I can also get back to your grandmother, so as not to make her unhappy." ”

"You've been so nice to me." Lu Shuyi smiled sweetly and glutinously.

Mama Li brought the woven gold brocade, and the pattern of green broken branches and plum blossoms was very beautiful.

Wu got up and gestured on Lu Shuyi, and said with a smile: "This color is really suitable for you, I asked the needlework team to make you a shirt and a long cardigan, what do you think?" ”

Lu Shuyi casually glanced at the weaving brocade, and said lightly with a lack of interest: "It's good for you to arrange, but it would be nice if you could make two pairs of plackets, one for Sister Jing'er, to be beautiful and our sisters to be beautiful together." ”

Wu smiled and opened his eyebrows: "You kid, okay, give you one, give your sister one, I know that your sister has a good relationship." ”

At this time, the maid outside suddenly came, saying that Aunt An and Lu Shufang were here.

Wu was busy asking Mama Li to put away the brocade, but she was still a step too slow. Before the brocade was confiscated, Aunt An led Lu Shufang in.

The Wu family couldn't let Mama Li accept it anymore, so they had to put it like that.

Aunt An's complexion looks very good, wearing a long gown with a lotus pattern of lotus on her body, a snowflake collar on her head, and a smile on her face greeting Wu.

Lu Shufang stood behind Aunt An, she was still carrying a food box in her hand, obviously to deliver food.

As soon as Lu Shufang entered the door, her eyes swirled around Lu Shuyi's body, Lu Shuyi ignored her, and only ate her chestnuts steadily.

Lu Shufang saw that Lu Shuyi pretended not to see her, she snorted coldly in her heart, and turned her face away from Lu Shuyi.

"The third lady is also here! It just so happened that the concubine made some snacks, and the third lady should eat them together. Aunt An looked at Lu Shuyi with a smile, turned around and took the food box in Lu Shufang's hand, and said: "This is the sesame roll and small bean cake made by the concubine in the morning, they are all easy to restrain food, Mrs. and the third lady should try it." ”

In her previous life, Aunt An always sent some snacks to the Wu family every once in a while.

Aunt An's skills in making snacks are very good, and in her previous life, Wu and Lu Shuyi liked to eat the snacks she made.

But this life is different, the Wu family and Lu Shuyi have an extra layer of guard, no matter how delicious it is, that's it.

Wu took the food box perfunctorily and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's really difficult to make these things for you early in the morning, but we have already had breakfast, and we really can't eat anything else." ”

Aunt An's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "Then Mrs. just keep it and eat it slowly." ”

Wu asked Mama Li to accept it.

"Mrs. is going to make New Year's clothes for the third lady?" Aunt An's eyes fell on the green broken branch plum blossom brocade, and said with a slight smile: "The color of this golden brocade is really beautiful, just right for the third lady's skin." ”

Lu Shufang's eyes also fell on the woven gold brocade, and her face was obviously very ugly.

Why is such a beautiful brocade only for Lu Shuyi? Why can't she dress properly?

"I haven't done it yet, but I'm just taking it out and seeing what it looks like." Wu asked Mama Li to pour tea, found a topic to divert the matter of brocade, and said, "Auntie is here to ask about the flower viewing party?" As it happens, I have something to say to you. ”

Speaking of the flower viewing party, the expression on Lu Shufang's face was much better, and she was even a little proud.

There are not many maidens in Changle Town who can hold a flower viewing party, and she can do it once, which can be regarded as a long face outside.

"As soon as you get a thing, wife, just take your mind." Aunt An put down her hand and took a sip of hot tea.

Wu smiled and beckoned to Lu Shufang, and after Lu Shufang passed, she took Lu Shufang's hand and said, "It's the seven girls who hold a flower viewing party, so naturally I have to listen to her meaning, I did it for her, so what is it?" ”

Lu Shufang didn't expect Wu to say this, she was stunned for a moment.

Aunt An said: "She is still a child, what can she know, you can arrange it." “

Lu Shufang pinched her fingers, a little unhappy.

Lu Shuyi only looked at it coldly, reached out and took a candied fruit from the plate on the table and put it in her mouth.

"Then how can it be done...... Wu Shi said bluntly: "I'll take the big idea, and you can do the rest with Fang'er." The old lady also said that day, this time the flower viewing party will ask you to teach the seven girls well, after all, she will be twelve after the New Year, and twelve is no longer a little girl. ”

Lu Shufang also felt that she was not a child.

But Aunt Ann always treats her like a child, which makes her very uncomfortable.

Wu's words have come to this point, and Aunt An is not easy to refuse.

But since then, some of her plans have been disrupted. She secretly wondered how to get herself out of it.

Lu Shuyi was clear about Aunt An's thoughts, and she had already thought about letting Aunt An hold a flower viewing party.

If the flower viewing party is managed by the Wu family alone, if anything happens at that time, the Wu family will not be able to escape from it, but Aunt An can easily pick herself out.

Now that Aunt An and Lu Shufang are pulled, their mother and daughter also have a share in the accident.

Lu Shuyi smiled and spit out the candied fruit core in her mouth, very satisfied with the current situation.

Later, when Lu Shujing heard about this, she came to Lu Shuyi with some displeasure: "...... Sister, I really don't understand you now. You said about the flower viewing party, how can you persuade your mother to let her hand it over to Aunt An and Lu Shufang? ”

Lu Shuyi shook her head with a smile, pulled Lu Shufang to sit down, and asked Mo Ju to bring a plate of frosted winter melon, and said with a smile: "Are you unhappy just for this?" ”

Lu Shujing pouted: "How can I be happy, don't you know how arrogant Lu Shufang is now, thinking that she is going to hold a flower viewing party, so she shouts every day, lest others don't know." She blinked with a pair of big eyes and exhaled, "Sister, you don't know, she really hates it." Also, Aunt An is so bad, what if she does something at the flower viewing party? ”

"She's done something and she can still get out of it?" Lu Shuyi slowly ate a piece of frosted winter melon, and explained: "If our mother does it alone, if something goes wrong, grandmother will have to trouble her mother, but if you add Aunt An and Lu Shufang in, who will grandmother find out if you say something?" Can their mother and daughter still be disconnected? ”

As soon as Lu Shuyi said this, Lu Shujing suddenly opened her mouth, got up and hugged Lu Shuyi's neck with a smile, and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek: "Sister, you are really smart now, why didn't I think of it?" ”

Lu Shuyi grabbed a piece of dried winter melon with icing and stuffed it into Lu Shujing's mouth, pinched her little face and said with a smile: "What can you think of?" Just think about eating well. She said seriously: "You should pay more attention to these things in the future, and think more about everything before making judgments." She took Lu Shujing's hand and said word by word: "Our three sisters and brothers will grow up one day, and our mother and father will grow old one day, they can't help us for a lifetime, and we still have to rely on ourselves for the future, do you know?" ”

Lu Shujing listened very seriously, she nodded: "I know sister, don't worry, I will grow up." ”

Lu Shuyi nodded and laughed.

The two sisters chatted for more than an hour before they dispersed.

sent Lu Shujing away, and Mama Li from the Wu family came over to pass the word.

Mama Li smiled and said to Lu Shuyi: "Mrs. Fang Cai went to Fushouju and told the old lady that you wanted to go to Daci Temple to worship the scriptures. ”

Lu Shuyi hurriedly said, "How is it?" Did the old lady agree? ”

"This is a good thing, of course the old lady agreed, and praised you for your filial piety." Mama Li said with a smile: "The old lady also said, if you need offerings, send someone to tell Mama Qian, and the silver is from her old man's house, and it is considered public." ”

Sure enough, it was the Lotus Sutra that worked.

Lu Shuyi was very happy and said to Mama Li: "Okay, if I need it, I will go to Mama Qian." ”

After Mama Li left, she sent Mo Ju to find Mama Qian to make all kinds of materials for snacks, anyway, they were things in the public school, so they didn't need to be used in vain, so as not to spend the silver in her small treasury.

Lu Shuyi made a list and instructed Mo Ju: "If you sue Mama Qian, just say that I made this snack to be enshrined in front of the Buddha, and I made it sincerely, and it will be more effective to make a wish." ”

Mo Ju answered.

When I came back, I came back with a lot of things.

She said, "Mama Qian was surprised when she heard that you were going to make dim sum, but she knew that you were going to make an offering in front of the Buddha, so she gave me something very happily." ”R1152
