Chapter 2 Fish in the Pond
She wiped her face clean and stared at the mirror for a long time.
The face of the person in the mirror is childish, although immature, it is difficult to hide the color of the city.
"The thief said, I have offended the Liang family. Originally, I was suspicious of Aunt Liang, but now it seems that not only this time, but also the previous ones have nothing to do with her. Lu Xihe's eyes flashed ruthlessly.
"Miss had expected it a long time ago? That's why you deliberately leaked your whereabouts to the third lady, so that their mother and daughter could show their feet. Qiulan suddenly realized, no wonder before the young lady left the house, she deliberately met Lu Jingshu, and inadvertently told her that she was going to Yunshan Temple to ask for a peace charm. I see, Miss is so smart!
Lu Jingshu is the daughter of Aunt Liang. This Aunt Liang's family is a merchant in Tiandu, although she is not the richest man, but she can be on a par with the merchants in the capital. Aunt Liang is the only daughter of the Liang family, and she is more favored, since she married in, she has been in gold and silver treasures, for fear that his daughter will suffer in the Lu family.
In this way, Lu Jingshu's life is even more luxurious. Since she was a child, she has been arrogant and unreasonable, and she must get anything she wants. Lu Xihe has a painting, which is priceless, which is a picture of Mount Tai painted by the famous painter Xiao Xiaosheng of the dynasty. Lu Jingshu liked it so much that she had to grab it, but Lu Xihe naturally didn't let it, and the beam of the two of them ended like this.
Coupled with Mrs. Careless, Aunt Liang always squeezed Lu Xihe openly and secretly.
Lu Xihe tossed in front of the mirror for a long time, slowly turned around, and said with a smile: "Qiulan, how is it?" ”
Qiulan saw that the woman in front of her had bright eyes and bright teeth, and her little face was fair and ruddy, not at all like an injured person.
"Beautiful, Miss."
Lu Xihe nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly remembered yesterday's incident, "What you just said, that Ning Gongzi?" ”
"Yes, the son who saved us yesterday refused to leave his name. However, his carriage has the character Ning on it, and it must be surnamed Ning. Qiulan replied.
Lu Xihe naturally wanted to thank him, but since people didn't give him a chance, forget it. Xing'er they have been in the shadows, and as long as she gives the order, they will appear. Even without that person, she wouldn't have died.
"What about the group?"
Qiulan replied honestly: "I said that I was sent to the government." ”
"It's fine." Lu Xihe said indifferently.
"Yes." Qiulan went out and gently closed the door. She whispered a few words to someone at the door, and then opened the door again and entered.
Lu Xihe's room is simply furnished, with a large rosewood case placed in the room, stacked with several books, a few treasure inkstones, and a few pens in Jane. On the east side is a huge screen, on which the ink is painted and green, wanton and free. The guqin is in the corner, and there is a bronze mirror standing on the dresser.
She is four years older than Lu Xihe, but she has followed Lu Xihe since she was a child, and the two of them can barely grow up together, and she almost knows about Lu Xihe. She knows Lu Xihe's temperament best.
Since the second young master's accident, the young lady seems to have changed as a person. Once upon a time, what a lively and kind child she was...
Lu Xihe seemed to sense her thoughts and stared at her for a long time.
And so the master and servant were caught until dawn.
After dawn, the surroundings gradually became lively.
The green willows outside her courtyard hang low, three weeping gatehouses, verandahs on all sides, a clear pond, and fish playing.
Lu Xihe opened the door, and several small servants were cleaning the yard.
"Miss Five."
She walked over to the tank, "I remember there were a few goldfish in there, why are they missing?" ”
A little guy was stunned, "Fifth Miss, it was still there when the slave changed the water this morning, you can take a closer look." ”
Lu Xihe's face was pulled down, and he broke a slender branch and stirred it in the fish tank.
The three fish were frightened and immediately fled, and ran into walls in all directions.
Lu Xihe saw that the goldfish was still there, and his mood improved a lot. She threw a handful of fish food, and the branch in her hand gently slapped on the water, making a splash.
"Oh no! Oh no! The third lady fell overboard! ”
The group ran to the pool in a panic, shouting as they ran, "The third lady has fallen into the water!" The third lady fell overboard! ”
Lu Xihe didn't hear it, his eyes fell on the fish tank, the branches stirred gently, and the goldfish fled in all directions.
"You should be glad you're a fish." She said softly, listening to the panicked cries of the crowd, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile.
"Miss? What happened to Miss Three? Would you like to go over and have a look? Qiulan asked, craned her neck and looked around.
"The third sister fell into the water, do you want to take care of her?" Lu Xihe asked sideways.
Qiulan chuckled in her heart, Lu Xihe was becoming more and more uncertain, so it was better not to mess with her.
"The slave thinks that if everyone else goes, but the young lady doesn't go, they may say something about you."
Qiulan explained.
Lu Xihe thought for a moment, "That's what I said." Let's go, let's see. ”
Go and see what she's like.
She was in a happier mood, and she was very happy when she thought of seeing Lu Jingshu's water dog later.
There was a group of people around the pool, and Lu Jingshu was splashing around in the water, choking on a large mouthful of pool water.
The old women are in a hurry, the little girls don't know how to water, and a few guards don't dare to save people because of the defense of men and women.
Seeing that Lu Jingshu was about to sink into the water, a huge sense of satisfaction rose in Lu Xihe's heart.
"No, it's not fun if she's dead."
She shouted, "Why are you still stunned? The third sister is about to drown, and she can't go down to save people? ”
Lu Xihe pretended to be in a hurry, threw the fan on the ground, and said fiercely: "If you don't go, then I'll go!"
Lu Xihe jumped into the water with a "bang", which frightened everyone. Qiulan also jumped into the pool. Several mothers-in-law cried and shouted. Several guards didn't dare to slack off any longer, and immediately jumped into the water to save the two young ladies.
When everyone was in a hurry, a white figure jumped into the pool and scooped up Lu Xihe in the water.
He picked up Lu Xihe and turned his back to everyone, and quickly covered her with a dress.
Qiulan got up from the pool and looked at the two of them in a daze.
"Young Master?"
The man in white was more than eight feet tall, his eyes were deep and deep, like a face perfectly carved by heaven. At first glance, he is too sharp, with a sharpness and sharpness that has been in the world for a long time. His nobility and extraordinariness are innate.
His hair was wet, and water was "ticking" down his face.
At this moment, he was looking intently at the person in his arms, and his always cold face had a little more tenderness.
"Big brother?" Lu Xihe opened her eyes, and the person in front of her was the last person she wanted to see.
Lu Yiran stretched out a hand and touched her forehead, "Your face is so bad and strong, you don't know how to cherish yourself if you don't get sick." ”
"Put me down, I'm not a child." Lu Xihe struggled a few times, but before he could make a move, he was suppressed by him with one hand.
"Aren't you just a child?" Lu Yiran didn't listen to her nonsense, and took care of her and walked away.
Lu Xihe was quietly in his arms, his eyes flickering brightly and darkly.
The pool here is still in a mess, and Lu Jingshu has picked it up.
When she woke up, she realized that a guard had saved her, and she had a nervous breakdown.
"I'm not alive! What face do I have to live! "Crying and howling, I have to jump into the pool to live or die.
Everyone pulled and persuaded her, and finally dragged her back.
Only then did Lu Jingshu react to how ugly she was.
She crouched down and cried with her head, and the maid put a cloak on her and persuaded her softly. Lu Jingshu was still a child after all, wiped her tears, and followed the maid back.
Lu Xihe went back to his yard early, and changed into plain clothes after bathing.
She pushed open the door and saw Qiulan outside, her clothes still a little wet.
Lu Xihe remembered, the moment he jumped down, Qiulan also jumped down. Her heart instantly softened.
"Why are you still standing here? Go change your clothes, or you'll get sick. ”
Qiulan replied and retreated silently.
After Lu Yiran took her back, she also went back to change her clothes. When he came again, he was dressed in black, and he looked completely different from his gentle appearance just now.
"Big brother? You haven't eaten yet, do you want to come along? Lu Xihe knew that he was here to supervise his own meal, but he was very reluctant to sit at the same table with him.
"Hmm." Lu Yiran agreed, walked to the dining table and sat down unceremoniously.
Lu Xihe was not very happy, but it was not easy to show it. She called a few maids to bring breakfast, and the two of them finished it with their own hearts.
"Aunt Liang is angry and is making a fuss in her father's study." After Lu Yiran finished speaking, he quietly paid attention to her expression.
Lu Xihe frowned slightly, and said with a little disgust in his eyes: "No wonder the third sister doesn't know the etiquette at all. ”
Lu Yiran laughed and sandwiched a piece of mung bean cake for her.
"I don't like to eat." She took the mung bean cake out.
"You also say that others don't know the etiquette, look at you, where is the kind of food?" Lu Yiran ate the mung bean cake by himself and educated her in a good voice.
"My own place, how I love it." Lu Xihe finished angrily, "Big brother, let's go quickly, when Dad can't find you, you will have to be scolded again." ”
Lu Yiran's heart blossomed, did she care about herself?
"Okay, I'll leave immediately, are you happy now?" Lu Yiran stood up, touched her hair, and strode out the door.
She stood behind her, her eyes blank.
Lu Yiran wanted to turn around and see what she was doing, to see if she had seen him leave, but he held back.
Seeing Lu Yiran leaving, Lu Xihe's face suddenly turned cold.
"Come out."
