"Second Miss! The business steward is here. Ying'er's voice came from the door.
After hearing this, Lu Wan, who was a little unsettled, immediately turned his head to look and saw Shang Yu standing at the door smiling, so he said: "Got it, you go make two cups of good tea, I have something to talk to the business manager!" ”
Xiao Ying immediately left in response to this, and Shang Yu slowly walked into the house, saluted Lu Wan, and then asked, "Second Miss, I don't know what you summoned Shang Yu for?" ”
Lu Wan's face looked a little excited and said: "Muyu, you sit down first, there is something I want to ask you to do, I hope you can agree!" ”
Shang Yu sat down as he said, but when he heard the second half of Lu Wan's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Second Miss, what's the matter with you?" Just say that Shang Yu should do his best. ”
"Can we stay here for two more days? I want to go back to Quanzhou to do something, can you promise me? Lu Wan said in a serious and pleading tone.
Shang Yu was puzzled, and immediately said with questions: "Second Miss! What are you going to do? This time, you want to go to Zhouzhuang, which is more than 1,000 miles away, and you have to stop the convoy for dozens of miles, what is the reason? ”
Shang Yu was very worried at this time, afraid that Lu Wan would have new tricks to do, which would become a big trouble for the wedding convoy, not to mention that the matter of Zhao Qing that Fang Cai Ding Seventeen said at the door of Inn 2 involved safety issues along the way, and the road to Zhouzhuang had become a dangerous place.
And if you go back to Quanzhou, according to what the master said, if the volunteer soldiers of the Semu people find out that the Lu family has moved, they will be angry with Lu Wan, and if they stay away from Quanzhou Mansion within two days, then they will naturally be fine.
"Muyu, I heard from the shopkeeper of Na Meng that my father and mother lived here twelve years ago, and that was the matter of my mother's disappearance!" When Lu Wan spoke at this time, a mist began to appear in his eyes.
After hearing this, Shang Yu's heart was even more strange, and he couldn't help asking, "What else did you say about what happened more than ten years ago?" "Presumably, it was Lu Wan's mother's incident that aroused Lu Wan's sadness, but why did this make Lu Wan want to go back to Quanzhou City?
"The shopkeeper Meng said that after that time, that is, a month later, my mother used to live in this store alone, and then half a month later, the shopkeeper Meng heard the news of my mother's funeral, but when my mother lived in this store alone, it was already half a month after the disappearance!" Lu Wan said with tears slowly flowing from his eyes.
"What? Do you mean that not only is your mother not dead, but also that the matter of being robbed by bandits does not exist? How is this possible? Shang Yu immediately stood up in surprise, Lu Wan's mother was buried on the grounds of illness and death, and outsiders didn't know that she was missing, and the innkeeper in Longwang Town inadvertently talked about the events of the year, and actually revealed such a fact, which made Shang Yu suddenly feel surprised.
"When my mother came here alone, even though she was dressed in disguise! But the shopkeeper Meng saw it very clearly at the time, and my mother was still playing when she checked in that day, and the shopkeeper Meng also showed me the account book, which was indeed my mother's pen style, and my father had many local poems written with my mother, and I knew that it was indeed my mother's pen style. Seeing that Shang Yu didn't believe it, Lu Wan said slowly, tears quietly falling from his eyes again. (Note: In ancient times, single guests signed in the account book in the inn for future reference, and the name was hand-charged.) )
When Shang Yu heard this, he only felt a strange feeling welling up in his heart, and said in his heart: "Lu Wan's mother was not kidnapped by the bandits, and she appeared alone in this inn after being missing for half a month, and she was also dressed in disguise, could it be that there was something else hidden about her parents back then?" ”
Although I thought so, I didn't ask any more questions.
Because Lu Wan said again: "After my mother checked in that day, the shopkeeper Meng heard the sound of swords on the roof of the inn at midnight, it seemed that many people were killing on the roof, and everyone was too scared to come out, and the next morning, the shopkeeper Meng found that my mother was gone, leaving only a piece of silver in the house, and there were some blood stains on the courtyard and the roof, I really don't know, what happened at that time?" ”
"Afterwards, Shopkeeper Meng didn't dare to tell my mother's identity! Claiming to the government that it was a bandit who passed by the top of the inn during the robbery. This is the case, I want to go back to the city to Yunzhen Temple, and ask the master of Jingnan how my mother disappeared back then, and Master Jingnan said that he had seen my mother taken captive by thieves with his own eyes. Lu Wan said this slowly, and tears fell even more.
Hearing this, Shang Yu immediately had a big question mark in his heart, and immediately stood on the ground and asked, "Second Miss!" Since Shopkeeper Meng knew about your mother back then, why didn't you go to Quanzhou City to tell your father? At that time, the reputation of Lu's firm was not weaker than it is now, which is a bit unreasonable, right? ”
"At that time, the shopkeeper Meng was just a guy, this inn was in charge of the old shopkeeper, how could he be a young man, that is, when he had free time, the city had already released my mother's obituary, and after entering the inn, this shopkeeper Meng saw me and inadvertently mentioned this matter!"
"Wooden fish! I think my mother should still be alive, I heard the shopkeeper Meng said, my mother was still carrying a long sword at the time, and my mother also knew some martial arts in my impression, but she was young at that time, and I don't remember it clearly! When Lu Wan said this, he couldn't help but pick up a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his face, and then looked at Shang Yu with his slightly red eyes.
After Shang Yu heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then said, "Second Miss! Even if it's true, I don't recommend you run back to Quanzhou Mansion! First, the whole Lu clan and the business have all moved to Taicang and Yangzhou, and the Semu army will enter the city in the next two days, and I learned from my master that after the Semu people control the whole city, they will definitely suppress the businesses of our Han people, and the Lu family will bear the brunt, which is also the original intention of the lord to move the Qian family. ”
"Second, after such a long time, there is no need to rush for a while, you can repair a letter and let my righteous brother Steward Li ask the master on his behalf! What really happened then? If you run back to Quanzhou, you may not be able to find Lingtang, but you will get into trouble! Shang Yu only said this method after thinking about it.
Twelve years ago, just by virtue of the words of the shopkeeper of Na Meng, the convoy was stopped and put in danger, which was definitely not the best policy.
"Nope! Muyu, if you don't accompany me back to Quanzhou, I will go back to Quanzhou Mansion to find out about it, you won't understand the feeling of losing your mother since you were a child, and the pain of not being able to talk to your father for many years. Seeing that Shang Yu didn't agree with her words at all, Lu Wan immediately stood up and said, and walked out.
Shang Yu was immediately anxious, if Lu Wan rushed back to Quanzhou City alone at night, it would not be counted as a soldier on the road to investigate, but if she encountered a beast, she would also be in danger.
He grabbed Lu Wan and said angrily: "Xiao Wan! If you're messing around again, why can't you be more sensible? Shang Yu usually only refers to Lu Wan as the second lady in his mouth, but in fact, in his mind, he is deeply influenced by Liu Xingbao, that is, the emperor Lao'er or the legendary immortal stands in front of him, and he will not regard the other party as superior.
At this time, as soon as he was angry, he shouted the word "Xiaowan" again.
Hearing Shang Yu's word "Xiao Wan", Lu Wan, who was about to break away from Shang Yu's arm, stopped struggling, stared at Shang Yu with his eyes and said, "Muyu, you called me Xiao Wan again, do you know that this is very rude?" ”
"Rude? Xiaowan, am I rude? What do you look like a lady? Where is the observance? Shang Yu said angrily, and pressed Lu Wan to sit on the chair.
After hearing this, Lu Wan was stunned for a few breaths, and suddenly cried: "Yes!" I don't deserve to be the second miss of the Lu family! If you want to call me Xiaowan, I'm going to marry my cousin soon, and you can't call me if you want to call it in the future, you dead wood fish! My body has been touched by you, how can I marry my cousin? You little thief! The cry wasn't loud, but the choked expression seemed to be very sour.
As soon as he heard Lu Wan's words, Shang Yu stood there as if he had been struck by lightning, his hands were still pressed on Lu Wan's shoulders, and when he heard Lu Wan's words, even a fool could hear the meaning of Lu Wan's words.
"How is that possible? This second lady of the Lu family actually said such a thing, she couldn't marry his cousin, she actually fell in love with me, is it because of my frivolous behavior towards her? After Shang Yu understood Lu Wandi's words at this time, he didn't want to believe it.
Because the secular identity gap between the two is too big, and Shen Fu also made a marriage contract with Lu Wan, in this case, Lu Wan's confession as the second lady is simply deviant and shocking.
"Second Miss! How can you say such a thing, I'm just a name, how can I be with you? Shang Yu said such a sentence clumsily and laboriously for a long time.
"I don't care! Even when I get to Zhouzhuang, I will make it clear to my cousin! My body has been thinned by your dead wooden fish, and if I were to marry someone else, I would rather die! And, Dead Wood Fish! I want you to accompany me back to Quanzhou to find news from my mother. ”
Lu Wan saw that Shang Yu was a little moved, and immediately threw himself into Shang Yudi's arms desperately.
Shang Yu couldn't accept the impact that Lu Wan brought him for a while, and reached out to hold Lu Wan's waist in a daze, under the blood of the young man and woman, Shang Yu immediately felt a sweet feeling rising from the bottom of his heart, but immediately thought of Lu Wan's last words.
"Second Miss! Please don't do this, if you just want to take advantage of my feelings and achieve the purpose of returning to Quanzhou, then you are wrong! ”
Shang Yu, who was proficient in scheming, immediately gently pushed Lu Wan away in his arms, and Lu Shaobei's words sounded in Shang Yu's heart: "You must keep your sanity at all times, as a businessman, you must analyze the situation and calculate the reasons and pros and cons behind the other party's actions." ”
After Lu Wan heard Shang Yudi's words, his face suddenly turned white, he raised his eyes to look at Shang Yu, suddenly stretched out his foot and stepped on Shang Yudi's cloth boots fiercely, and said fiercely: "Dead wood fish!" If you don't take me back to Quanzhou City to find the news and whereabouts of my mother, I will die to show you. Also, even if I become a ghost, I won't marry anyone, I just want to use you, I really want to use you! When he said this, his body trembled, obviously excited, and as he finished speaking, Bei Yan bit his lower lip with a trace of blood.
Shang Yu realized at this time that Lu Wan's intention was so resolute, first, she wanted to go back to Quanzhou City to find her mother's whereabouts, and second, her feelings for Shang Yudi were indeed true, otherwise she would not be so excited.
This situation really made Shang Yu unable to deal with it, Lu Wan gave him a big problem at this time, and Shang Yu planted this difficult situation when he rescued Lu Wan in Fanghua Building.
As soon as the wedding convoy of dozens of people arrived in Longwang Town, Lu Wan heard that his mother had been missing for 12 years and had a different experience, and inadvertently said that he liked Shang Yudi, whether Lu Wan wanted to go back to Quanzhou or go to Zhouzhuang to ruin the marriage, this was something Shang Yu never expected.
"Xiao Wan! I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to say that! It's just that your mother's affair has been going on for many years, and you really shouldn't go back to the city to investigate! And the marriage contract with the young master is also made between the master and the Shen family, how can it be changed? Xiao Wan, this matter" Shang Yu was about to continue, but he heard a sound of the wind.
He had a very strong ear, and when he heard the scream, he knew that it was the dart that Luo Biqing had taught him to use, so he immediately took Lu Wan into his arms, and took her to the ground quickly.
After the wind had passed, I heard a "bang" sound, which was the sound of darts sticking on the table next to the chair.
Shang Yu held Lu Wan on the ground and looked up at the window, only to see that a small hole had been broken in the window, and there was no sound outside.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and the sound of gentle footsteps appeared in the room, and a crisp girl's voice said, "Second Miss! You want me to make tea! Business manager, what are you doing here? Second Miss, you and the business manager"
It turned out to be Xiao Ying who walked in with a tea tray, and saw Shang Yu holding Lu Wan to the ground, and it seemed to be intimate, she couldn't help but let out a startled sound, and the tea tray in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Shang Yu and Lu Wan immediately stood up with red faces, and before Lu Wan could speak, Shang Yu said, "Xiao Ying, don't talk nonsense!" Someone just threw a dart through the window, and I did it to save Miss, so I can't make a noise! He pointed to the dart inserted into the table.
Xiao Ying nodded in disbelief, and suddenly said, "There are really darts!" There's also a piece of paper nailed to the table! He pointed to the table with some surprise and said.
Lu Wan also sighed lightly, stepped forward and gently pulled out the dart, and unfolded the folded paper to watch, while Shang Yu walked to the window, pushed the window open, and looked out, this room is facing the street, and it is still on the third floor, more than twenty feet from the ground.
There was no place to climb outside, and there was no figure of anyone, Shang Yu couldn't help but be shocked: "I don't know who used darts to deliver letters, and his skills are so good!" ”
Just as he was thinking like this, he only heard Lu Wan say in a joyful voice: "Dead wood fish! I don't have to go back to Quanzhou. ”
