Chapter 239: Mind
Lu Shuyi didn't want to talk to Lu Shuqi about this anymore, so she only said that she was unwell, so she left the warm pavilion under the pretext of excuse.
The cold wind was grinning outside, and the corners of his clothes were flying.
Mo Ju whispered: "Miss Nine is really arrogant when she speaks, why doesn't Mrs. Six care about her?" β
Lu Shuyi grabbed the silver-red cloak on her body and said lightly: "I am used to being pampered, so it is inevitable." Besides, her grandfather's family is an old man in Beijing, so she naturally feels that she is more noble than others. β
"Kyori is amazing?" Dongmei muttered in a low voice, "If the people in the capital are all like Miss Nine, who would dare to be friends with them?" β
"But Miss Fifth is much calmer." Mo Ju had a particularly good impression of Lu Shuxuan, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "The fifth lady speaks decently, and her temperament is gentle and does not fight or grab, which shows that the fifth lady teaches well on weekdays." β
The wife of the fifth room, Su Shi, was born in a scholarly family, she is gentle and humble, and she knows how to read and etiquette, and the children she educates will naturally not be too bad.
Lu Shuyi nodded approvingly, and said, "So I can have more contact with the fifth sister in the future, as for the ninth sister...... It's better to avoid it if you can. β
She doesn't want to be entangled with an ignorant little girl.
Mo Ju Dongmei and the others also agreed.
The three of them walked all the way to Lanyue Pavilion, and Lu Shuyi went back so early, on the one hand, to avoid the conversation with Lu Shuqi, and on the other hand, to go back to accompany Chai Xiu'e earlier.
Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, Chai Xiu'e stayed alone in the Lanyue Pavilion.
During the night banquet, Lu Shuyi was repeatedly invited, but she refused to participate in the Lu family banquet alive or dead, and only excused herself: "After all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, this is a big day for the family to reunite, I am an outsider, it is inevitable to be restrained." And you still take care of me, I don't think it's right, I still don't go. β
Lu Shuyi didn't have any way to take her, so she could only let Pan'er and Holly stay and serve her. During the night banquet, I asked the kitchen to send a few things to eat, and I don't know if she ate it?
Lu Shuyi quickened her pace and walked forward along the corridor, who knew that when she first arrived at the crescent moon gate of Lanyue Pavilion, she actually met a person.
The man was dressed in an ink-colored gray squirrel skin, and was holding a very delicate colorful octagonal food box in his hand, and was standing and hesitating in the courtyard of the Lanyue Pavilion.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the maids and maids in the courtyard have also been rewarded for organizing their own dinner, so there is no one in the courtyard to watch the night.
The man wandered around the yard with his neck stretched, and from time to time he stomped his feet slightly, which showed that he was frozen.
Mo Ju was startled, immediately stopped and stood by the crescent moon gate, and said in a low voice: "Who is this?" β
Dongmei also looked at the back and pondered without blinking, and said for a long time: "This ...... Isn't this the Fourth Young Master? It's a cold day, why did he come? β
Lu Shuyi's eyes were fixed on that person, and then the light took a closer look, it was not Lu Wenhui.
He looked hesitant, wandering back and forth with things, and when he stopped, he would stretch his neck and look at the place where Chai Xiu'e lived, as if he wanted to see a hole in Chai Xiu'e's room door.
A helpless smile appeared on Lu Shuyi's face.
Since Chai Xiu'e lived with her, Lu Wenhui has been looking for some small reasons to talk to her every now and then, and every time he happens to bring something to eat, and there happens to be Chai Xiu'e's share.
If this is Lu Wenhui's hospitality, she won't believe it if she is killed.
He is obviously interested in Chai Xiu'e, and he wants to figure out how to contact Chai Xiu'e more, so that Chai Xiu'e can get to know him.
He is not afraid of being discovered by the eldest lady in doing so......
Lu Shuyi shook her head with a wry smile, and raised her foot and stepped through the crescent moon door.
The footsteps behind him startled Lu Wenhui, and he instinctively stuffed his head and wanted to dodge, but when he turned around, he found that it was too late, and Lu Shuyi had already walked in.
"Isn't this the fourth brother? How did you end up here? Lu Shuyi pretended to be surprised, but her eyes looked at Lu Wenhui's body several times without hesitation.
Although Lu Wenhui wore a gray squirrel skin coat, his face was still bruised from the cold, especially the tip of his nose, which was red from the cold, which showed that he had been wandering here for a while.
"I look at the fourth brother, you seem to be frozen......" Lu Shuyi blinked.
"No, no, I'm not cold." Lu Wenhui looked embarrassed, and immediately shook his head and denied it repeatedly: "I just came, just a few steps ahead of you." β
"Really?" The corners of Lu Shuyi's lips were lightly raised, the expression on her face was very intriguing, her eyes fell on the food box in Lu Wenhui's hand, and she said with a smile: "Fourth brother came to deliver food again?" β
Lu Wenhui was still embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "What's that...... I was thinking that Miss Chai was a guest in our house, and this Chinese New Year, she was alone here with a girl's family, and she would definitely ...... You'll be homesick. His cheeks were slightly red, and he said, "So I got some food from the kitchen and brought it to her, but when I got here, I remembered that the third sister was not there, so I ......."
He smiled bitterly and explained: "After all, there is a difference between men and women, and if you are not there, it is not good for me to send food in, right?" β
At this point, Lu Wenhui is indeed a very upright gentleman, although he likes Chai Xiu'e, but he doesn't want to ruin Chai Xiu'e's reputation because of some of his actions.
Lu Shuyi also appreciated him very much, she smiled and said: "The fourth brother still has a heart, there are so many boys in the Lu family, and the fourth brother still remembers Sister Xiu'e." β
Chai Xiu'e is one year older than her, so in private she calls Chai Xiu'e her sister.
Hearing the sound and knowing the elegant meaning, Lu Wenhui immediately blushed, and immediately explained clumsily: "Third sister, you ...... You may be mistaken, I also think that she is a girl who celebrates the New Year in someone else's house, and it is inevitable that she will ...... It's going to be uncomfortable, I really don't have any other thoughts......"
The more he explained, the more unclear he became, and the darker he became.
In the end, even Dongmei couldn't bear to listen to his explanation, and muttered in a low voice: "Originally, our third young lady didn't want to be crooked, it's the fourth young master, you think too much......"
Lu Wenhui was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and laughed, took the food box in his hand and said, "Okay, fourth brother, you don't have to explain anything, I know you just have good intentions." I took this food for Sister Xiu'e, thank you fourth brother. β
After speaking, she instructed Dongmei: "Bring the corner lamp to send the fourth master, it's dark and the road is slippery, don't let the fourth master fall on the road." β
She didn't plan to let Lu Wenhui go in to meet Chai Xiu'e.
If something comes out during the New Year, it's not good.
Lu Wenhui was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Third sister, ...... you Won't you invite me to sit in the house? β
He really wanted to meet Chai Xiu'e.
Especially on such a special festival, he hopes to talk to Chai Xiu'e to relieve Chai Xiu'e's homesickness.
Lu Shuyi didn't give him a chance, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Aren't they also here today, Fifth Brother?" The fourth brother doesn't go to talk to them? β
Lu Wenhui blinked, and couldn't think of what to say for a while, so he stood for a while before he said in disappointment: "Also, it's rare for the fifth brother to come back, I'm ...... It's time for me to talk to them. β
Lu Wenhui's tone was very low, and he looked weak.
Lu Shuyi almost relented.
But in the end, she just smiled simply, nodded and said, "Then I'll thank the fourth brother for Sister Xiu'e, and the fourth brother will walk slowly." β
Lu Wenhui nodded, turned around listlessly, just took half a step, he hurriedly turned back and said: "What is that......" Halfway through the words, he looked around, and saw that Mo Ju and Dongmei were looking at him, he pursed his lips hesitantly, walked to Lu Shuyi's side, and whispered: "There is a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the food box, it's still hot, you let Miss Chai drink it while it's hot." β
He turned around to remind him of this.
Lu Shuyi's heart softened.
She couldn't help but pull Lu Wenhui's arm and walked to the side, and when she reached a secluded place, she said with a straight face: "Fourth brother, do you know that it is really obvious that you are doing this?" β
Lu Wenhui was stunned for a while, and after being shocked for a while, he stammered: "You...... What do you see? β
Lu Shuyi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I'm not blind, how can I not see it?" You like Chai Xiu'e, right? β
Lu Shuyi said bluntly.
She felt that at this moment, she had to confirm Lu Wenhui's intentions.
Lu Wenhui immediately sweated, and his nervous hands didn't know where to put them.
"Really...... Is it really that obvious? Lu Wenhui's eyes widened, and he seemed to be a little incredulous.
He felt that he hadn't done it so obviously, how could Lu Shuyi see it?
Lu Shuyi said speechlessly: "There were guests in the house before, I haven't seen you pay attention to that." But Chai Xiu'e is different, you send some snacks in three days, and fruits in four days, and every time you have Chai Xiu'e's share, you are stupid to me, you can't even see this point thoroughly? β
In the end, she didn't forget to complain: "I guess the people around me have already noticed your behavior, and you still think you are smart." β
"What? The people around you have already seen it? Lu Wenhui held his forehead, only to feel faceless.
Lu Shuyi could only sigh helplessly, it seems that there is a saying that is right, in the face of love, the authorities are obsessed, and many obvious things, they themselves will feel very clever.
"If you don't believe it, ask Moju and them yourself, and ask them to see if you have ...... in mind."
"This ......" Lu Wenhui raised his hand and patted his head, sighed and sighed, and finally said: "Forget it, I still don't want to ask......"
Lu Shuyi nodded, and then said seriously: "When did it start?" β
Lu Wenhui pretended to be stupid with his hands behind his back: "When did it start?" I don't understand. β
He really didn't want to expose all his secrets in front of other people's eyes, especially in front of his younger sister, he would feel very shameless.
Lu Shuyi snorted angrily, and said with a straight face: "I know your secret, what else do you have to say to me?" Are you afraid that I will say it to Chai Xiu'e? She immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, I won't sue her for your irritable thoughts." β
"You're going to keep it a secret for me?" Lu Wenhui asked rhetorically with a glare.
Lu Shuyi shook her head again and denied: "No, it's not to keep a secret for you, but I think it should be impossible for the two of you, so I don't need to tell her about your feelings, it's just to make you sad." β
The eldest lady's personality is too strong, the person she values most in her life is Lu Wenhui, how can she let Lu Wenhui marry a girl like Chai Xiu'e?
Even if Chai Xiu'e marries Lu Wenhui against all odds, how do you know that the eldest lady will not always show her face?
In her previous life, she had learned the face of the eldest lady.
The expression on Lu Shuyi's face was very strict, she looked at Lu Wenhui fixedly, and said very seriously: "You also know that Chai Xiu'e has no father, no mother and no backer, right?" Although she is kind-hearted, gentle and lovely, she is indeed a wonderful girl. But compared to those young ladies from high-ranking families, she is really nothing in the eyes of her aunt. Once you express your thoughts, aren't you afraid that your aunt will hurt Chai Xiu'e? β
When she said this, she was not afraid that Lu Wenhui would tell Mrs. SΓΉ, whose mother understands, and the person who knows the eldest wife best in the world must be Lu Wenhui herself.
Lu Wenhui really listened to it more and more, his face became more and more solemn, and his brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and finally became several unfathomable ravines.
"So, if you are not sure about giving Chai Xiu'e happiness, I advise you...... I advise you to give up early. Lu Shuyi finally said these words.
Some people she doesn't care about the identity of the family, such as the Yang family, but some people she attaches great importance to these invisible and untouchable false names, such as the eldest wife.
She really didn't want to see the eldest lady do something to hurt Chai Xiu'e, so if she could persuade her, she would persuade her, but if she couldn't persuade her, she would make other plans.
The night gradually fell silent, and occasionally the cold wind rolled up the snowflakes on the tiles and fell on Lu Wenhui's shoulders.
He pursed his lips and raised his eyes for a long time before saying, "You...... Do you also think it's impossible for me to be with Miss Chai? β
"Obviously, isn't it?" Lu Shuyi blinked.
Lu Wenhui looked unwilling, and said with a long breath: "But third sister, do you know, I fell in love with Chai Xiu'e at first sight, and I really liked it at first sight." He stretched out his hand and flicked the placket of his clothes, and said abruptly: "You also know that I have never had a good impression of that girl, but Chai Xiu'e is different, I just glanced at her, and I felt that she was very different from other girls, and the temperament of her little jasper is also something I like." β
Speaking of Chai Xiu'e, Lu Wenhui's eyes were full of tenderness, as if he had endless words.
Especially the faint flame in his eyes, which burned happily.
Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers, if Lu Wenhui can marry Chai Xiu'e, he should feel very happy in his life......
But reality is reality and cannot be ignored.
"If you're not sure about making Chai Xiu'e happy, I advise you to forget about her." Lu Shuyi's tone was still stern, she looked at the food box and said, "Also, don't give such things in the future, if it reaches the ears of the eldest aunt, it will really be detrimental to Chai Xiu'e." β
Speaking of being unfavorable to Chai Xiu'e, Lu Wenhui immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I won't send things indiscriminately in the future." βR1152
