Chapter 515: The Lady of the House
As the second son, Lu Wuxian is only one year younger than his brother Lu Wuwu. Lu Ruoliang had great expectations for Lu Wuxian, and specially sent him to Youzhou Mansion to study hard.
Next year, Lu Wuxian will go to Chang'an to take the exam, and if he can get fame in the exam, it will be the greatest glory of the Lu family. If it weren't for the fact that today's discussion was too important, the second son, who was studying hard, would never have put down his books and returned to the Lu family's old house.
Listening to Lu Wuwu and Lu Wuxian's words, Lu Xiaoxian on the side couldn't help but smile secretly: It doesn't matter what the reason is, the important thing is that the lady in the courtyard just hears it. It's just that I don't know how the lady in the courtyard will feel after hearing the words of her two own sons.
Lu Ruoliang also felt that Lu Wuji was a bit childish, and waved his hand at him: "Okay, you sit down!" ”
Since it is a play, of course, he has to play a good job, Lu Wuji sincerely asked Lu Ruoliang loudly: "Father, you think about it again, for the sake of the relationship between you and your wife for many years, just help Mrs. this time, help the Liu family this time!" ”
The more Lu Wuli talked, the more unpleasant he became, and Lu Ruoliang couldn't help but be annoyed: "Shut up!" You sit down for me! ”
Lu Wuzi stopped talking and sat down obediently.
Lu Xiaoxian squeezed his eyes at Lu Wuji to show his approval. Lu Wuji's acting is very good, and his wife will definitely accept his affection. Now that the goal has been achieved, the final result of the discussion is not important to Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Wuxian at all.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Wuji's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at everyone like watching a play.
Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Wuzi's changing expressions back and forth made the housekeeper on the side very strange, and he faintly felt that there must be some secret between the two of them.
It was discussed and discussed, and in the end there was no conclusion.
Lu Ruoliang asked Lu Xiaoxian's opinion, Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "This is an internal matter of the Lu family, I can listen to it, and I will never express my opinion!" ”
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian say this, Lu Ruoliang was not reluctant.
In the end, the result of the Lu family's discussion was: for the time being, don't help the Liu family, wait and see what happens, and see what the Lin family does next before making plans.
……
Lu Wuji returned to his room, and Xu was anxiously waiting for him.
"How long has the discussion been?" Xu Shi took off the dishes that were attached to the food, "Hungry, aren't you?" Hurry up and eat! ”
"I'm not hungry!" Lu Wuji took a steamed bun, took a bite of it, and said vaguely, "I'm about to starve to death!" ”
"How's the old man feeling?" Xu asked.
"Mood?" Lu Wuji shook his head, "I'm not in a good mood!" ”
When he said this, Lu Wuji couldn't help but secretly think: When the Lin family cleans up the Liu family and starts to deal with the Lu family with all their might, it will not be a question of whether the mood is good or not, and it is difficult to say whether the Lu family can survive or not.
Hearing Lu Wuji say this, Xu Shi was a little relieved, got up and said to Lu Wuji: "Wuji, you eat slowly, I'll go see the lord and Mrs." ”
Xu left in a hurry, and Lu Wuji sighed.
……
As soon as he finished eating, Lu Yuxiao came to find Lu Wuji.
Copying "Urgent Chapter", this is the homework assigned by Cheng Fuzi. Helping this kind of favor is just a gesture for Lu Wuji.
He put the pen and ink paper research, the pen in the hand letter handwritten, the pen swirls forward and retreats, all in the knot, the shape of the knot or leaning or positive, heavy or light, the whole line of strokes down, coming and going without a trace.
Lu Wunon wrote like a fairy, and Lu Yuxiao, who looked at it directly, was stunned and intoxicated.
With only one pillar of incense, Lu Wuji finished writing, and Lu Wuji seemed to be still a little unfinished.
Lu Yuxiao looked at the original text of "Urgent Chapter" written by Lu Wuji, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
"Third uncle, what's wrong?" Lu Wuji asked strangely, "Can't I write well?" ”
"No, no? It's so well written! Lu Yuxiao said with a bitter face: "But, if I give it to the master, the master will not believe that I wrote it?" ”
Lu Wuji is extremely talented, and he has practiced calligraphy since he was a child, and his writing is elegant and chic. And Lu Yuxiao's writing is like a dog's paw crawling, handing over the words written by Lu Wuji to the master, which is not an obvious telling the master: This character is ghostwriting with a knife. claw
Lu Wuji forgot about this stubble, scratched his head and said, "It's okay, third uncle, I'll write it to you again!" ”
Lu Yuxiao wants to write "Urgent Chapter" again, and it is estimated that it will take at least three hours. Although Lu Wushu wrote it quickly, he could ask him to write it again specifically for himself, and Lu Yuxiao was very unhappy in his heart.
Lu Wushu simply scribbled with a letter pen, didn't even look at the paper, chatted with Lu Yuxiao, and used the pen like a habit, writing nonsense in one go.
This time it was written faster, and after writing it, Lu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be no problem now, right?" ”
Lu Yuxiao still shook his head: "No, it's still too well written, the master will definitely not be able to pass the test!" ”
This made Lu Wuji a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that it would be not easy to write a little bit.
Help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west.
Of course, Lu Wuji couldn't give up halfway, he smiled and said: "Third uncle, this way, you bring the words you have written before, and I will imitate your handwriting!" From now on, you'll be all on me! ”
Listening to Lu Wuzi's words, Lu Yuxiao was so moved that he almost didn't shed tears. With Lu Wuji doing his homework for himself, wouldn't Lu Yuxiao have more time to play?
As soon as he came out of Lu Wuji's house, Lu Yuxiao met the housekeeper head-on.
"Huh? Third master, ...... are you?" the butler's face was full of curiosity.
Lu Wuji did his homework for himself, how dare Lu Yuxiao let the housekeeper know that if it came to the ears of Master Lu, wouldn't it be a disaster.
He said, "I'm looking for a book to borrow nonsense!" ”
After that, he hurried away without looking back.
Seeing the housekeeper coming into the house, Lu Wuji hurriedly got up and saluted.
In the Lu family, housekeepers are considered old qualifications.
When the old lady was the head of the house, he was the housekeeper and took care of the Lu family in an orderly manner. Today, Master Lu is the head of the house and still relies on the housekeeper. Although he is only a housekeeper, no one in the Lu family, including Master Lu, dares to treat him as a subordinate.
Of course, Lu Wuji will not be slow to slack off on the housekeeper.
"Nonsense young master, what do you think of today's deliberations?" The housekeeper was not polite and went straight to the point.
Lu Wuji was stunned, why did the housekeeper ask this question inexplicably, could it be that he saw through his own play?
Impossible!
What's wrong with him, even if he sees through it and doesn't admit it, what can he do to me?
Thinking of this, Lu Wuji said cautiously: "I just think Madame is too difficult, so I suggested that the Lu family should ......."
"That's not what I'm asking!" The housekeeper interrupted Lu Wuzi's words, "I want to know, what do you think of the Lin family!" ”
"This ......"
Lu Wuji hesitated, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or play stupid.
The housekeeper seemed to see through Lu Wuzi's thoughts, and said lightly: "I know that you have always been cautious in your work because of your status as a concubine, for fear of arousing the suspicion of others. But no matter what, if the Lu family is here, there is still a place to live. If the Lu family collapses, whether it is a son-in-law or a concubine, they will become rootless duckweed. If that happens, what's the use of being cautious? ”
There are eggs under the nest, and the housekeeper said it very bluntly.
Lu asked tentatively, "Butler, what do you want to know?" ”
The housekeeper forced Lu Wuji to look at him: "I want to ask, what does the nonsense young master think of the Lin family, how do you think of the relationship between the Lu family and the Lin family, and what should the Lu family do next?" ”
Lu Wuli didn't know what was wrong with the housekeeper, so he had to force himself to make a statement, which made him very embarrassed.
The butler didn't seem to intend to let him go: "I'm sincerely asking for advice, isn't the nonsense young master really unwilling to give advice?" ”
The housekeeper's position in the Lu Mansion cannot be underestimated, and Lu Wuji does not want to offend the housekeeper because of this.
Thinking of this, he said to the butler: "If the butler really wants to hear it, of course he can be blunt, but he just wants to ask the butler to agree to a nonsense thing!" ”
"Please!" The butler nodded.
"What I said is just the words of the family, the housekeeper can listen to it, and don't spread it again."
The butler nodded again: "I promise you!" ”
……
In the dormitory of the main house, the lady with red and swollen eyes did not say a word.
Lu Ruoliang was distraught and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
Finally, Master Lu stopped, looked at his wife and said, "I know, you are complaining about me for the Liu family!" ”
Madame had no words.
"I can't help it!" Eye drops sighed, "If it's just my personal matter, let alone doing my uncle a favor, even if I let me go into battle shirtless to fight the Lin family, I don't complain." However, this matter is related to the Lu family, if the foundation of hundreds of years is destroyed in my hands, will I not become a sinner of the Lu family? In the future, what face will I have to meet the ancestors of the Lu family? ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ruoliang couldn't help but sigh. He had just passed the age of confusion, and his temples were already full of gray hair. The head of the house is so easy to be, from the first day of being the head of the house to the present, he has not had a good night's sleep. Knowing this, the owner of this family might as well let Lu Xiaoxian do it!
Looking at her husband's haggard face, Mrs. couldn't help but feel a little distressed, she couldn't help but vomit with him anymore, wiped her tears and said: "It's all fate, who would have thought that a Lin family could make such a big move!" I don't blame you for thinking about the Lu family, but seeing the Liu family fall like this, I'm also unwilling! ”
Lu Ruoliang wanted to persuade his wife, but he didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Mrs. said hatefully: "There are also those two white-eyed wolves, who refuse to say even a word of intimacy, I am considered to have raised them for nothing, and I am not as good as a concubine!" ”
Lu Ruoliang was stunned by his wife's headless words, and immediately understood that she was annoyed with her two own sons.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Xu Shi gently walked into the room.
Seeing that his wife was wiping her tears, Xu Shi was stunned, feeling that he had come at the wrong time, and was about to quietly turn around and go out.
Mrs. stopped Xu: "Xiu'er, is there something wrong?" ”
The "Xiu'er" in the mouth of the lady is Xu's.
When Xu was young, she was the maid who served in the room of Master Lu and Mrs. Lu, and for so many years, Lord and Mrs. Lu were used to calling her "Xiu'er".
"Oh, it's fine. I've heard nonsense that the lord is in a bad mood, so come and take a look! Xu hurriedly replied.
