Chapter 319: Temptation + Chapter 320: Silver (2nd Watch)

Lu Shuyi was thoughtful.

After coming out of Fushouju, she went straight to the Brocade Garden of the Sixth Lady.

The sixth wife was accompanying Lu Shuyan and Lu Shumiao to sit in the warm pavilion and practice pipa.

A pair of twin flowers dressed like flower bones, black hair wearing a red gold inlaid pearl headband, exactly the same Xiangfei color embroidered winter jacket, even the earrings on the ears are made of high-quality red coral, the little person is holding the Ming Concubine Pipa in his arms, and his whole body is full of style.

Mrs. Sixth is dressed simply, wearing only a homely cotton jacket, her hair is curled at the back of her head, and there is a simple hairpin on it. However, she has a good foundation, although she is just dressed up simply, she still can't hide her beauty. Although she is the mother of three children, she has fair and clean skin like a girl, with a pair of red phoenix eyes and bright water, and the water waves between her looks forward to it, which is very seductive.

Lu Shuyi couldn't figure it out, there was such a beautiful woman around the sixth master, why did he still have an outer room?

Her third uncle is like this, and so is her sixth uncle.

From this, she came to the conclusion that men may be greedy, and he will never see the brilliance of what is in his own bowl, but what is in someone else's bowl, and he can always dig out its beauty......

She quietly pinched the handkerchief in her hand, smiled and bent her knees to say hello.

The sixth lady had already held her hand steadily, and said with a smile: "Sit down, it's strange cold outside." While asking someone to serve tea, he brought a few plates of refreshments.

"These refreshments are freshly made, you taste them." Mrs. Six said with a smile.

Lu Shuyi quietly glanced at the maid serving tea, who was in her early twenties. Older than other maids, wearing a blue jacquard satin gown, a willow yellow flowered skirt, and a pair of plain silver long earrings swaying back and forth on her ears, she didn't look like an ordinary maid......

Lu Shuyi secretly guessed that she should be coral......

Coral is beautiful, tall and graceful, and the small waist seems to break off when pinched.

Especially a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, Gu Pan can always give birth to infinite wind||Feeling. People can't help but look at it twice.

No wonder Mrs. Six would ask her to come over from the Sixth Master. With such a look and posture, who can rest assured when placed next to the sixth master?

Coral didn't notice that Lu Shuyi was looking at her, and after putting away the refreshments, she gently retreated to the side of Mrs. Six.

Lu Shuyan and Lu Shumiao had also stopped what they were doing, and Mrs. Six beckoned them to come over and greet Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyan looked reluctant. frowned and shouted, "Third sister." ”

Lu Shumiao was quite happy. Take her hand and talk to her. asked her again: "Can the third sister hear me playing the pipa?" What do you think of my play? ”

The sixth lady smiled, touched Lu Shumiao's hair dotingly, and said, "You kid, why do you ask when you see people?" ”

Lu Shumiao stuck out her tongue. "You know, I like to play the lute." ”

In her previous life, Lu Shuyi also learned pipa in Kyoto, and her master was the most famous pipa master in Kyoto, Liu Qingqing.

She could hear that Lu Shumiao was playing the song "Autumn Moon", and her playing skills were very ordinary.

Of course, at this time, she definitely couldn't tell the truth, so she only smiled and said, "Hmm...... I've only listened to a short excerpt, but I think you played it well. ”

"Really?" Lu Shumiao looked very happy.

Lu Shuyan didn't think so, and said lightly to Lu Shumiao: "You ask others if you play well, do others still say to your face that you play badly?" It's boring. ”

Lu Shumiao's face changed suddenly, blushing, a little aggrieved and a little unhappy.

Mrs. Sixth had no choice but to cough dryly and said, "Children just like to make trouble...... and said: "But Miao'er really likes to play the pipa, she has been learning since she was five years old, and she has been learning it for more than two years." ”

"But I always can't meet a good teacher......" Lu Shumiao sighed, with a look of regret.

Lu Shuyi didn't want to talk about the pipa with them, so she only said perfunctorily: "The tenth sister is still young, and she will always meet a good teacher in the future." Besides, she has such good qualifications, and she will definitely be a good pipa player in the future. ”

She said this sentence very weakly, obviously with average qualifications, but she still has to say it well......

"That's just as well." Mrs. Six smiled lightly and drank tea with her.

Lu Shuyi asked Mo Ju to take the rouge box over, and said with a smile: "This is Lou Ji rouge, which is better than ordinary rouge, I got it new, Aunt Six, you can keep it and use it." ”

Mrs. Six hesitated for a moment, but she still took it with a smile, opened the enamel rouge box and looked at it, sniffed it again, and praised: "The rouge is very beautiful and tastes good." She blinked and wondered, "But why did you suddenly remember to give me rouge?" He explained with a smile: "I don't usually use these things, and sometimes I buy them for fun, and I lose them when the freshness passes." ”

This kind of thing is generally given by the elders to the juniors, or between peers. Although she is young and loves to dress up, she still feels very strange when she is suddenly given a box of rouge by a junior.

Could it be that Lu Shuyi can't see that she likes to dress up?

But she didn't dress up often during the time she lived in the Lu family?

The expression on Mrs. Six's face fell on Lu Shuyi's eyes.

Lu Shuyi thought about it carefully and understood, maybe Coral went out of the house to buy rouge, it was not the sixth wife's instructions at all, but the sixth master ordered her to go out on errands, and she found an excuse to buy rouge to leave the house.

It seems that Mrs. Six was also kept in the dark.

She remained silent, still smiling and said: "It's nothing special, I just saw that the ninth sister was wearing a pair of satin embroidered shoes on her feet in the Chinese New Year's Eve night, and I ...... I'd like to ask if you still have that shoe? If so, can you draw one for me, I also want to make a pair of embroidered shoes......"

She stuck out her tongue slightly, revealing the shyness of her little daughter.

Mrs. Six hid her handkerchief and laughed: "It turns out that it's because of this, you girl, just say it, and give me a box of rouge." She quipped, "What? Is it a thank you gift or a bribe for me? ”

Lu Shumiao crossed her feet: "Third sister, isn't it this pair?" ”

The embroidered shoes on her feet were the pearl-embellished shoes she wore on Chinese New Year's Eve. The pearls on it are bright and beautiful.

"Yes, it's the pair." Lu Shuyi smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Six smiled and said, "What's so difficult to talk about, if you like it, I'll ask Coral to make a pair for you." ”

The coral on one side instinctively pinched her fingers when she heard the word rouge, she thought that Lu Shuyi had found something, and she was secretly worried.

didn't arrive first, Lu Shuyi just took a fancy to the embroidered shoes on Lu Shumiao's feet.

She immediately stepped forward and said, "If the third lady likes it, then the slave will make you a pair." ”

"This ...... Isn't that okay? Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and excused herself: "You still have to serve my sixth aunt, I'm afraid of delaying your time." ”

The sixth lady disagreed: "It's okay." Let her do it. "Pick your eyes. She casually swept over the coral and said lightly: "Don't underestimate her, she has great skills, let alone a pair of shoes." Even a dozen shoes are not a problem. ”

Coral seemed to deliberately avoid Mrs. Six's gaze. only lowered his eyebrows and said, "The third young lady will leave it to the slave maid." The slave must do a good job. ”

Without waiting for Lu Shuyi to refuse, Mrs. Six took her hand and asked earnestly, "What color do you like?" What kind of patterns do you like to embroider on it? He added: "I think the lotus blue is good, and spring will start in a few days." How nice it is to wear it to go on a trip. He added, "Coral can be made in three days, don't worry." ”

Make a pair of embroidered shoes in three days?

Lu Shuyi secretly smacked her tongue, feeling that Mrs. Six was using her to embarrass the coral.

She could see that Mrs. Six didn't like coral at all, but for some reason she couldn't sell the coral, so she could only stay by her side so awkwardly and slowly torture her.

Perhaps, these have something to do with the sixth master.

After all, wars between women have always been about seeking a man.

Coral has served by the side of the sixth master since she was a child, and she stands out so well, and she gets along with each other for so long a day, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be affectionate. In this way, Mrs. Six naturally couldn't tolerate her.

"Then make a pair of lotus blue." She smiled and coped: "Just embroider a simple pattern on it." ”

But Mrs. Six didn't seem to plan to let go of the coral, raised her hand to stroke the broken hair of her sideburns, and said: "I think the phoenix wears a peony pattern is good, you are in time for this year, this pattern is festive and auspicious." ”

She made the decision: "Coral, just embroider the pattern of the phoenix wearing the peony." ”

Sango's lips pursed together, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't say anything, just silently answered yes.

Mrs. Six's eyelids were slightly raised, and she seemed to be slightly proud.

After coming out of the Brocade Garden, Mo Ju took a long breath, and she also found the tense atmosphere between Coral and Mrs. Six, and whispered as she walked: "It's really difficult to make a pair of embroidered shoes in three days, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, it's still the pattern of a phoenix wearing a peony." Lu Shuyi sighed.

"But...... Coral seems to be dressed more decently than the other maids, do you see a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists? Mo Ju blinked, and there were some things that she couldn't say.

Dongmei immediately said: "I saw it, the color of the jade bracelet is not an ordinary color at first glance." Also, you see the clothes she wears and the red gold hairpin on her head, which are not like our usual dress. ”

She hadn't figured out the relationship between Coral and the Sixth Master, so she only wondered: "Speaking of which, she is just a first-class maid, how can she wear things like an aunt......"

As soon as the word "aunt" came out, she herself was shocked.

Mo Ju immediately looked left and right, glared at her and said, "In the future, this kind of thing is not allowed to be talked about here, in case it is heard by the person with long ears, you will wait to be beaten." ”

Dongmei raised her hand and patted her lips gently, and said fearfully: "Don't dare, don't dare to talk nonsense in the future." ”

But all three of them had a number in their hearts.

The relationship between the sixth master and the coral is definitely not ordinary, and the sixth lady is also clear in her heart, but she just doesn't say it.

Things have finally progressed a little, and the relationship between Coral and the Sixth Master has been clarified, and the idea that Coral bought rouge when he left the mansion is just a cover-up.

These two points are very important, and the next thing is to wait for Huo Tianyou's news and see if he can inquire about the fan||The source of the medicine, and the murderers who caught Lu Shufang.

…………

At that time, the eldest lady was restless, and a cup of tea on the table changed from hot to cold, and from cold to hot, and three or four times, but she never touched a mouthful.

Lu Shuyi now let Mrs. Lu imprison Xiaohong and Dark Green, she is afraid that Lu Shuyi can really find some clues from these two people, and she will be unable to get rid of it when the time comes.

But Mama Zhang came again and said: "Madam, the person who was sent to Baoding Mansion Xinrong ticket number to inquire about the news is back." ”

She felt a pang in her heart, hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "How is it?" Auntie...... Did the eldest aunt borrow the silver? ”

Mama Zhang's brows were furrowed, and she looked like she couldn't speak.

When the eldest lady saw her appearance, her heart was half cold, and she stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Really borrowed 200,000 taels of silver?" How much profit? ”

Mama Zhang didn't dare to hide it, sighed, and whispered, "No...... Not two hundred thousand taels of silver, than ...... More than that. ”

"What?" The eldest lady felt a thunder on her head, shocked and annoyed, she slapped the table and scolded angrily: "What does this bastard want to do? Is this to kill my daughter? My daughter is still pregnant, he ...... How dare he ......"

When she married Lu Shujuan to the Qian family, she also took a fancy to Qian Wenchang's strength, and felt that he was young and dared to fight, and he could catch as much silver as he could, but she didn't expect to get this step.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she couldn't lift it in one breath, and she almost fainted.

Mama Zhang was frightened, and hurriedly turned out a coarse-mouthed white porcelain medicine bottle from her body, poured out a pill from it and stuffed it into the eldest lady's mouth, and at the same time went to warm water to serve the eldest lady to take the pill.

The eldest lady pressed her chest with one hand, and only felt that her anger was rolling.

"You have to take care of yourself...... Mama Zhang calmed her down, she didn't dare to say anything about Qian Wenchang.

But the eldest lady wanted to hear it, and asked, "That animal...... How much money is owed? ”

Mama Zhang couldn't hide it, so she had to say: "The person sent out replied that it was...... He said it was 400,000 taels of silver. The first wave borrowed 200,000 taels, and two days ago I went again and borrowed another 200,000 taels of silver. ”

"Four hundred thousand taels?" The big lady's voice trembled.

Even if the Qian family has a big business, 400,000 taels is not a small amount. And the Qian family also has several heads, if they let the people in other houses know, they won't tear up Qian Wenchang.

The eldest lady only felt a terrible pain in her chest, she endured it, and asked, "With such a large sum of silver, how dare you lend him the Xinrong ticket number?" ”

Mama Zhang whispered: "Say yes...... said that the eldest aunt mortgaged several real estate properties, and also put ...... He also mortgaged the two salt wells in Jixian County together ......"

In the end, she was really like a mosquito, so low that she couldn't even hear herself.

The eldest lady heard very clearly, she only felt that the world was spinning, and her eyes were black for a while.

She pressed her hands on the kang table, barely supporting her body, so that she did not fall.

Qian Wenchang actually mortgaged so many things, if he didn't pay the silver in the future, these things would become someone else's, and then her daughter would really lead the children to drink the northwest wind.

Qian Wenchang, Qian Wenchang, why is he so bold. (To be continued......)

PS: The two more are combined together, and they are a little busy during the day, and the update is late, so I'm sorry.
