The Wu family naturally didn't believe that Lu Shuyi could help the Wu family.

Don't say it's Lu Shuyi, it's Lu Er's master, and he can't have a way to bring the Wu family back to life.

The current Wu family, like an old man in his last years, is just struggling to survive......

Wu sighed again, his eyes drooping slightly, and his eyes were as gloomy as a tarnished star......

Lu Shuyi weighed it in her heart, whether it was for the Wu family, for her mother, or for her own future, it seemed that only by cooperating with Huo Tianyou was the best way out.

What she can't do, Huo Tianyou can do, and she can do it very well.

I just don't know what Huo Tianyou likes about her? He is the second son of the Hou Mansion, even if he is looking for a partner, he shouldn't be looking for a weak woman like her who is powerless in a deep house, right?

I can't figure it out......

Under the warm orange lamp, Lu Shuyi accompanied Wu and said a few thoughtful words. Mama Zhao boiled the medicine herself, Lu Shuyi waited for Wu to take it, and after watching Wu lie down, she went back to the room.

There was no news from my father and Aunt An, and it was as calm as ever.

Lu Shuyi took a deep breath, this time, Aunt An won again, she understood the mind of a man, and she also understood the mind of Second Master Lu......

Mo Ju whispered back: "Lin Sanbiao has already run away, I heard that the master interrogated Lin Sanbiao's old son, but he didn't ask anything...... Our old man is kind-hearted, rewarded Lin Sanbiao's old son and mother with a board, and sent them home to care for the elderly......"

Mo Ju sighed and lowered his voice: "If we can't find Lin Sanbiao, we don't know his motive for killing our wife...... I don't know if he colluded with Aunt An......"

Lu Shuyi's eyebrows were full of lingering gloom. She reclined on the couch. Snow-white fingers wrapped around the jet-black hair. He said in a deep voice: "You must find Lin Sanbiao, no matter what method you use, you must find Lin Sanbiao...... and the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, I must not let it go, and I will find a way to show her to me. ”

This night, Lu Shuyi slept very unsteadily, and her dreams were full of Aunt An's smug smile and her mother's painful look.

She woke up several times, and each time she woke up in a sweat.

In the dark, Lu Shuyi only felt extremely tired, and this tiredness came out of her heart. Like vines, inch by inch entwined in my heart.

In the following month, she guarded the Wu family almost every inch, whether it was food or what she needed on weekdays, she personally took care of it.

In order to make Wu's food good, she also deliberately learned a few medicinal diets from Pan'er, and made them for Wu's every day.

Wu has his daughter as his companion, and his mood is very comfortable, coupled with Mr. Bai's prescription, his complexion is like a day. By the end of the year, she was able to move around. You can also take care of what you need for the New Year.

Lu Shuyi saw that the Wu family was getting better, and a stone in her heart also fell to the ground little by little.

The winter is cold in Layue, seeing that the New Year is approaching, as soon as the snow stops on this day, Mo Ju quietly comes: "Aunt An's third brother An Zhiming is here......"

An Zhiming is here?

Lu Shuyi blinked, thinking for a while, there has been no news about An Zhijin's promotion, could it be that Huo Tianyou really stirred up the peace?

She is worried about An Zhijin's affairs these days, and she doesn't know if Huo Tianyou has done it.

An Zhiming's arrival made her suddenly have a glimmer of hope.

"Did you inquire, what did he say to Aunt An?" Lu Shuyi picked up the sugar-fried chestnuts in the red food box on the table, pinched them between her fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Did An Zhiming go to the old lady?" ”

"I went, but the old lady didn't leave him for tea...... the corners of Mo Ju's mouth were a little happy, she lowered her body, and whispered in Lu Shuyi's ear: "I inquired about some news from Le'er, the maid next to the old lady, and Le'er said that Aunt An's eldest brother An Zhijin's promotion seems to be out of play." Originally, Li Ren'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, strongly recommended it, but later Li Ren'an recommended an eight-rank official surnamed Hou at the same time as An Zhijin...... I don't know how many benefits the eight-rank official surnamed Hou has given to Master Li Ren'an, hum...... Now those snowflakes and silver that have settled down are for nothing......"

Lu Shuyi's eyes moved slightly, and she said in her heart, Huo Tianyou really fulfilled his promise.

The corners of Mo Ju's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and she said quickly: "Le'er also said that An Zhiming came to beg our old lady, and wanted our old lady to come forward and say good things to the old lady of the Su family, isn't the old lady Su's brother an official in the south?" ”

Lu Shuyi smiled coldly and said contemptuously: "He sharpened his head and thought well, there are so many good things in the world that are smashed on the heads of their An family?" ”

"Yes." Mo Ju glanced at her mouth disapprovingly, and said: "What a shrewd person our old lady is, last time our Lu family's business in the south was helped by the elder brother of the old lady Su, and the favor has not been repaid, how can she owe a favor for an aunt?" ”

Mo Ju is very right about this, Mrs. Lu's always working principle is that if you have the ability, you will climb, if you don't have the ability, she will never use her connections to help you.

An Zhiyuanming thought of Mrs. Lu too well.

Lu Shuyi put the peeled chestnuts in her mouth, and a sweet taste filled her mouth, and she smiled: "When you are in a good mood, everything you eat is good." He picked a big chestnut and threw it to Mo Ju, and said with a smile: "You can taste it too, isn't it sweet?" ”

Mo Ju chuckled, and said, "This time, An Zhiming went to see Aunt An, and he asked Aunt An to find a way." ”

Lu Shuyi was in a good mood, raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "What can she do about officialdom?" ”

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, in my previous life, Lu Shufang was married to He Tai......

The He family is the Empress Dowager He's own family, if Aunt An and the He family have anything to do with it, will the He family help the An family?

Lu Shuyi threw away the chestnut skin in her hand, and hurriedly said: "You must keep an eye on Aunt An these days, as well as the people around her, they will come and go back to me if there is a little trouble." ”

Mo Ju is also a very cautious person, and immediately said: "It's almost the New Year, and everyone has to give gifts......

"Keep an eye on our family's gifts, especially those who go to He's house to give gifts." Lu Shuyi got up and turned around twice as she spoke, and said, "It's best to go to He's house to follow our people......"

…………

Listening to Xuezhai, Aunt An was sitting in the hall with An Zhiming.

An Zhiming is just eighteen this year, and he looks handsome, with a green robe and a somewhat elegant temperament.

An Zhimingke's face was not good, he frowned slightly, and said: "Mother asked me to sue you, so that you must think well for your eldest brother." If the eldest brother can't be promoted this time, if he rises again, I'm afraid he will have to wait a year or two. ”

The south is rich, and there are few official vacancies, and it is not easy to lack one, and it is only after squeezing the head that you can go up.

An Zhijin originally thought that with the recommendation of Lord Li Ren'an, coupled with his own efforts, this promotion was a matter of nine out of ten, but who knew that Lord Li Ren'an actually put him together in the end, and recommended an eight-rank official surnamed Hou at a critical time......

This breath, don't say that An Zhijin can't swallow it, that is, the entire An family can't swallow this breath.

But what if you can't swallow it?

Can you still go to Li Ren'an to settle accounts?

Aunt An's fair skin was a little bloody, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were sharp, she squeezed her hand, and said angrily: "I didn't expect Lord Li Ren'an to be such an untrustworthy person, but the eldest brother spent a lot of money on him...... The snowflake silver of the white flower was fed to the dog. ”

All the money was squeezed out of the teeth by the An family's frugality.

Aunt An's distress is not only those snowflakes and silver, but also her brother.

An Zhijin left the north and went to the south to be an official, the roots of the An family are basically in the north, once he goes to the south, An Zhijin is like a duckweed without roots, and it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the south.

An Zhijin has worked hard for many years, and finally has a chance to stand firm, who knew that it would be broken so lightly......

Aunt An's distress is for her brother's hard work and the misery of her brother's departure from home.

An Zhiming immediately looked left and right, and said cautiously: "Sister, don't be angry, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"Don't worry, I'm here to be tight!" Aunt An sighed deeply and angrily, turned her eyes to look at An Zhiming, and asked, "What did Master Li Ren'an say to his eldest brother?" Is it said that if you don't recommend, you won't recommend? Not even a reason? ”

An Zhiming smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You don't want to think about it, what kind of benevolence and morality can there be in officialdom?" He paused and said, "Besides, the eldest brother was willing to send the silver to Li Ren'an, and it wasn't what people wanted...... At this time, people refuse to recommend, what can we blame him? ”

Aunt An was silent, and her fingers were clenched into fists.

If An Zhijin loses in officialdom, how good can she, a person who relies on her brother to survive, be?

The so-called cold lips and teeth, she must not watch her brother lose and ignore it.

In addition, Wu's body is getting better every day, and she can't interfere with the affairs of the second room at all now. If she continues like this, what status can she have in the Lu family?

She lost her status, and her two children would not end well.

Lu Shufang is about to reach the age of saying goodbye......

The more Aunt An thought about it, the more she had a headache, she closed her eyes and pinched her temples, and said slowly: "Right now, Empress Dowager He is still in power, it's really not good...... I'll take the road of the He family and see if I can get through. ”

Although Mrs. He Er is a difficult person to talk to, she knows Mrs. He's secrets......

Whether it's for her brother or herself, she has to gamble.

As soon as An Zhiming heard that Aunt An was going to take the road of the He family, he immediately agreed: "If you can take the road of the He family, it will naturally be better than the road of Lord Li Ren'an." It's just ......" he hesitated: "The matter of the official is only a few days away, can my sister be sure to get through?" ”

Aunt An pursed her lips and muttered, "If you can't go, let me give it a try." His eyes moved slightly, and he said, "You go back first, don't let your mother wait." ”

After sending An Zhiming away, Aunt An immediately began to think about how to take the road of the He family, and this pondering was two days. (To be continued......)
