Chapter 158: Speculation (2nd Update)
Second Mrs. He's eyes swept over Aunt An's body intentionally or unintentionally, with a bit of intriguing.
Aunt An never dreamed that Lu Shuyi would come out at this time to disrupt the situation and dismantle the stage, making her so embarrassed.
"Loquat honey is different from other honeys, it is winter honey." Lu Shuyi ignored the expression on Aunt An's face, smiled lightly, and said slowly: "This honey is richer and sweeter than other honeys, and the effect is better than honey such as jujube and locust flowers." Use it and osmanthus to make osmanthus brew, and the taste is naturally better than the osmanthus brew we usually drink. ”
"No wonder...... The taste of this osmanthus brew is better than the last time I drank it at my mother's place. Lu Shuqing swallowed the osmanthus brew in her throat, looked at Lu Shuyi with great admiration, and asked, "Third sister, how do you know?" ”
How did she know?
In her previous life, Mr. Bai also taught her to brew osmanthus brewing, and the ordinary honey she used at the beginning of the period was always ordinary and not brilliant.
Later, Mr. Bai told her that the osmanthus brewing should be made with loquat honey from Fujian to be brilliant, and she only knew about this at that time.
Of course, she couldn't tell Mr. Bai.
"I also saw it one day by chance, and it was written in the book."
Anyway, no one would ask her what she read from the book, and even if she did, she would only have to answer "forgot" about it.
"No wonder!" Mrs. He looked at her with a smile, and her eyes were also a little approving.
In the past, she had heard a lot of Lu Shuyi's bad things outside, but in the past year or so, it seems that this child is not a child who is arrogant and ignorant in the mouth of outsiders, and who is not in harmony with his parents and competes for favor with his brothers and sisters.
Could it be that the outside is wrong? Or is there something hidden in this?
Second Mrs. He's gaze glanced at Aunt An again.
Aunt Ann felt uncomfortable.
"I don't even know these things in the book." Second Mrs. He smiled and beckoned to Lu Shuyi, asking her to come over.
Lu Shuyi paused for a moment, if it weren't for the fact that Aunt An and Second Mrs. He would not be close, she would definitely not be close to Second Mrs. He.
In her previous life, Mrs. He scolded her angrily, how could she forget it?
When she approached Mrs. He, her legs and stomach trembled, and her steps felt extremely heavy.
"Look, if you want to learn these things in the future, just ask Tai'er or Zhao'er to find you a book." The eldest lady lowered her eyelids with a bowl of tea and took a leisurely sip, implying that she didn't need to learn from someone like Aunt An.
Aunt Ann was completely ignored......
No, not to ignore it, but to become a used rag, mercilessly discarded.
Aunt An only felt trembling all over, full of anger.
Now that she stays here, she will only be humiliated, and she might as well go back and do something about it.
Aunt An resolutely turned around and lowered her eyes, "Since the third lady knows the method of this osmanthus brewing, then the concubine will go back first." ”
"Then thank you Auntie for the wine." Mrs. He Er smiled, but did not say a word of salvation.
The eldest lady only nodded faintly, she knew it.
Aunt An pinched her fingers, and Shi Shiran turned away.
Lu Shuyi looked at it coldly, and between the light and shadow, Aunt An's back was slightly weak and defeated, and it was obvious that she had lost this battle.
But for the sake of Lu Shufang's future, she shouldn't just give up......
In the past half a day, she stayed with the eldest lady to teach Mrs. He how to make osmanthus brew with loquat honey and how to make osmanthus brewed more mellow and delicious.
Later, the eldest lady wanted to keep the meal, so she hurriedly said goodbye and came back.
As soon as Lu Shuyi left, the second Mrs. He and the eldest lady talked about her again, "I look at the third girl's temperament, but she is rumored to be ignorant outside, I see that this child is very sensible and careful." Look at it, there is just an osmanthus brew, how carefully she told me! ”
The eldest lady said noncommittally "um", and only said lightly: "This kid is outstanding." ”
In fact, she is also very curious, since last year, this girl seems to have changed as if she is a different person, calm and introverted.
It's her Qi girl who has become disobedient now.
"She's thirteen, isn't she?" Mrs. Ho asked.
"Yes, thirteen, next year."
"It's also time to talk about the age of the mother-in-law's family......" Mrs. He said meaningfully.
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, stared at Second Mrs. He for a while, and said in surprise: "Could you be...... You don't want to give her to Tai'er as a concubine, do you? ”
As soon as the words came out, the eldest lady felt that it was impossible.
No matter how Lu Shuyi says, she is also the eldest daughter of the second room, how can she be a concubine? Even if Lu Shuyi is willing, can the Wu family and Lu Er be willing?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
However, Mrs. He Er didn't think about it.
If he really found such a beautiful concubine for He Tai, would he still have the heart to study hard? In the future, if you marry a main room, the main room will not have a headache......
"It's not Tai'er, it's my nephew." Mrs. He Er rolled her eyes and said thoughtfully: "My nephew Brother Yong hasn't decided on a family affair yet, I went back a year ago, and my brother also said that I should pay attention to a family affair for him, but I didn't expect the three girls in your house at that time." Now that we meet, I just think of this incident. ”
The second wife of He is surnamed Zhao, her mother's family is from Baoding Mansion in Jizhou, and her ancestors also made a fortune by doing business.
Since then, the Zhao family has also established a firm foothold in Baoding Mansion, accumulating an industry that cannot be eaten in several lifetimes.
Nowadays, although the Zhao family has never surpassed the official position of the governor of Liangjiang, it has also successively produced several jinshi and fellow jinshi.
Such a family marrying the daughter of the Lu family is also a good match.
Mrs. He's second wife's mother's family also knows a lot, you know, she is the daughter of the He family, and every time she goes back, she can hear a few words.
Brother Yong in Mrs. He's mouth is the second son of her eldest brother, named Zhao Yong, because he is the second in line, he is called the second son by the elders at home. Zhao Yong is fifteen this year, and he looks good, but I heard that the kid has a bad temper and is a very stubborn person, if Lu Shuyi marries him, it seems that ......
Inappropriate, inappropriate.
The eldest lady shook her head, "I don't think this can be done, the last time I mentioned the marriage of the third girl, the old lady said that she wants to make the decision for the third girl herself, and she wants us not to interfere." ”
Thinking of Qian Jianchang's matter, she was on fire again, and she made up her mind that she would never mention marriage this time.
Whoever wants to go, she doesn't want to touch a nose, and she doesn't want to complain in the future.
Such a thing, whether it can be detoured or detoured, it really can't be detoured, it can only be perfunctory.
"I think that Brother Yong'er should be more than enough to match the third girl, so ......," Mrs. He was a little unhappy.
The Zhao family is also considered to be a scholarly family, and the Lu family just has silver, what else do they have?
The Zhao family can afford to look up to them if they want the girls of the Lu family, what else is there to be unhappy about?
Mrs. He was unhappy, and Mrs. He was unhappy in her heart.
My sister-in-law is already easy to turn her face, if she hadn't endured Mrs. He all the time, wouldn't she have turned her face with her earlier?
Hate only hates that the current Lu family is not a good family.
The girl who got married spilled the water, and when she returned to her parents' house, she still had to rely on her relatives at home, and it was no good to turn her face up.
The eldest lady couldn't help but said: "It's not a trivial matter to say that this family matter is small, maybe Brother Yong'er has his own ideas, so it's better to ...... You're going to talk to your brother about it when you go back? If they agree, then you will directly invite a matchmaker to kiss you, maybe this will be the case? ”
Mrs. He is right to think about it.
After all, she is only Zhao Yong's aunt, and his father and mother have to decide the marriage event.
She pondered, "Then I'll write a letter to my eldest brother first and tell him about it." Again...... Seeing that the New Year is about to start winter again, why don't I ask Zhao'er to invite the three girls to our house in the next post, so that she and Brother Yong'er can meet and see the situation. If Brother Yong falls in love with her, this will be done. ”
Mrs. He Er's mouth touched the skin of her mouth and said it very easily and simply, as if as long as Zhao Yong agreed, Lu Shuyi would definitely nod her head in agreement.
The eldest lady didn't say it, but in her heart she felt that this thing might not be possible.
In the evening, Mrs. He Er personally wrote a letter and sent it to Baoding Mansion, but she didn't mention it for a while.
Early the next morning, Mrs. He sent someone to invite Lu Shuyi to talk, and the two went to the garden to collect the blooming osmanthus together.
On the third day, Mrs. He invited Lu Shuyi over again, and the two brewed osmanthus nectar together.
And so it was on the fourth day......
On the fifth day, Mrs. He Er rewarded Lu Shuyi with a pair of jade bracelets......
This is unprecedented.
Mrs. He has a self-contained identity and feels that the He family is superior to the Lu family, so no one looks at it. She got closer to Lu Shuyi at first glance, and the Lu family looked at so many pairs of eyes, so naturally there were many speculations.
"Mrs. He takes such a fancy to the third lady, I think eighty percent wants to marry the third miss into the family as a daughter-in-law......" The little maid also began to discuss.
"He Er Gongzi is a talent, and this year he is in the middle of the Yuan, if he really becomes the uncle of our house, it will also be the creation of the third lady." Someone said so.
"What kind of creation is not created, the third lady is a character like Tianxian'er, and it is more than enough to match the second son of He, so there is no high climbing!" Some people immediately defended Lu Shuyi, thinking that Lu Shuyi should marry a man better than He Tai.
Mo Ju, who came from the garden, could only scratch her hair when she heard this.
Who said that the third of them was going to marry He Tai?
After going back, she couldn't help but quietly learn from Lu Shuyi, "You don't know, just because you have gotten closer to Second Mrs. He in the past few days, there are so many words outside, what is said that Second Mrs. He has taken a fancy to you, and what are you and Second Prince He...... You two ......"
Mo Ju blushed a little, and couldn't speak, so she only said: "These little hooves, one by one, don't work well, they know how to chew their tongues......
Lu Shuyi had long expected such gossip, after all, she and He Tai had reached the age to talk about marriage.
And Mrs. He raised her so much, which also surprised her. R1152
