April 13, Hanjing.

After the hour passed, the sunset had already sunk in the west, and stepping on the afterglow like residual blood, a petite figure in a black cloak walked to an inconspicuous courtyard and raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

The people in the courtyard immediately put down their work and raised their voices and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Chunling, it's me."

The man at the door whispered softly, his voice soft and a little tired.

Chun Ling was overjoyed, rushed over and opened the door, and called happily: "Miss, you are finally back!" ”

There weren't many people on the street, and the surroundings were quiet, Lu Xiu put his index finger against his lips and made a silent motion, Chun Ling immediately shut up, turned sideways to welcome Lu Xiu into the courtyard, and pulled the door bolt with his hand.

There was a low stool in the courtyard, and Chun Ling was just sitting in the yard embroidering a purse.

Lu Xiu took off the cloak, Chun Ling reached out to pick it up, but Lu Xiu didn't give it, put the cloak on his arm, and asked softly, "Is there anything to eat at home?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'll be fine as soon as I get hot."

Chun Ling Sahuan went to the kitchen to heat the meal, and after a while came back with hot porridge and a plate of fried meat, and saw that Lu Xiu had already washed his cloak and hung it in the yard.

The cloak is pure black, and the hem is embroidered with silver feathers, and the bird feathers are so well embroidered that they are not vulgar at first glance.

Chun Ling was curious: "Miss, whose cloak is this?" ”

"A friend's."

Lu Xiu walked into the house as she spoke, obviously reluctant to say too much, Chun Ling didn't ask any more, eagerly beckoned her to eat, and asked her if Yuanfeng County was fun.

Chun Ling is the maid of the Lu family, she has been serving Lu Xiu for a long time, and her temperament is simple, after the Lu family was down, Lu Xiu has always taken her with her, and now Lujian has also gone to Yuanfeng County, so she is not so lonely with her.

Lu Xiu was really hungry, so he drank two bowls of porridge in one go, and the dishes were eaten cleanly.

After eating, Chun Ling went to wash the dishes, and Lu Xiu walked slowly in the yard to eliminate food.

Lujian is no longer in Hanjing, but the ready-to-wear shop will continue to open, no one will share it, she has to do a lot of things by herself, she can't be busy in a short time, and she has to find reliable people to help as soon as possible, fortunately, before leaving Yuanfeng County, Xuanyin helped her write a letter of recommendation, and she can also find someone to help.

Chun Ling boiled hot water, Lu Xiu and her carried five buckets to fill the bath bucket, Lu Xiu treated her as half a sister, didn't let her serve, and took off her clothes and took a bath.

Halfway through the wash, Chun Ling came in with clean clothes, and said briskly: "Miss hasn't been at home for the past few months, I haven't even had someone to talk to all day, it's so uncomfortable, can Miss take me with you next time she wants to go somewhere?" ”

"I won't go that far in the future." Lu Xiu comforted, Chun Ling turned her head and wanted to say something, her eyes fell on the crook of her arm, her eyes instantly widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

Lu Xiu subconsciously retracted his hand back into the bucket, Chun Ling rushed over and asked nervously, "Miss, ...... you?"

Lu Xiu nodded, said with a stiff face: "It's an accident, don't say it." ”

Chunling's brows were twisted into hemp ropes, and she was anxious: "What an accident, Miss, you haven't left the cabinet yet, but the palace sand is gone, how will you marry in the future!" ”

Now that he has been seen, Lu Xiu did not hide it, and said calmly: "Then just don't marry." ”

"How can you do it without marrying?" Chun Ling subconsciously retorted, and was about to cry, lying on the edge of the bathtub and asking, "Miss, what happened to you this time, who is that bastard, did he force Miss?" Let's go to the government to report to the official and arrest him! ”

After Chun Ling finished speaking, he immediately shook his head and denied his thoughts: "You can't report to the official, if you report to the official, this matter can't be hidden, and others will definitely talk about Miss behind your back." ”

Chun Ling has never experienced a major event, and there is no master of the six gods for a while, Lu Xiu gently grabbed her wrist and said gently: "So as long as you don't say it, no one will know about this matter." ”

"But ......"

Chunling's little face wrinkled into a bun, even if he didn't say it, something had already happened, how to explain it when he became a relative in the cave in the future?

Lu Xiu was more open than her, and said with a smile: "I'm already very old at my age in Hanjing, and I don't have power or power, no one will want to marry me, don't worry." ”

"No, Miss is so good, and she is so good-looking, and there are more people who like it."

Chun Ling retorted very seriously, and Lu Xiu looked at her calmly and did not argue with her.

Chun Ling realized that Lu Xiu had already made a decision in this matter, and she didn't plan to change it, she couldn't think of a better solution for a while, so she could only compromise and say: "I listen to Miss, and I will definitely help Miss keep this secret." ”

Lu Xiu bent her eyes and smiled, and comforted her a few more words, asking her to go down and prepare something to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow.

After Chun Ling left, Lu Xiu quickly got dressed and lay down on the bed.

After more than half a month of driving, I still feel like I am bumpy on the carriage when I lie on the bed.

Lu Xiu stroked the crook of his arm, and there was no mark of Shougong Sha there.

Her heart flickered, and she could still remember the force of the man's squeeze on her waist that night, the heat of his breath on her skin, and the rich aroma of wine in his breath.

He was not gentle at all, rude and savage, and in fact made her very painful.

Even now, she was still a little scared.

It turns out that this kind of thing is not as pleasant and fascinating as others say.

So be it.

Afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep again after thinking about it, Lu Xiu cut off his thoughts in time and covered the quilt to sleep.

The next day, I woke up early in the morning, packed up and had breakfast, and Lu Xiu took Chun Ling to the ready-to-wear shop first.

There are a few fixed people in the shop who want to make clothes, Lu Xiu has been absent for the past few months, and the embroidery lady and the tailor have basically only made their lists, using the new materials she ordered back from Mozhou, and these families like the clothes after receiving them.

However, coupled with the transportation costs back and forth, these orders hardly made much money, and the wages of the embroidery girl and the guys were paid, and the income was even small, and there was no balance.

Lu Xiu walked around the shop, appeased the embroidery girl and the work, wrapped a red envelope for them to start work, closed the door early, and went to the restaurant to invite them to dinner.

She is the only one in the recent period, and they have to work hard, Lu Xiu is very good to them on weekdays, and they took red envelopes, so naturally there is nothing to be picky about.

After eating, it was estimated that the Sun family woke up from his lunch break, and Lu Xiucai took Chun Ling to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The doorkeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion recognized her, and when he saw her coming, he immediately welcomed her into the door politely, and kept chattering: "The girl went to Yuanfeng County, and our lord has been looking forward to your return, and I can hear with my own ears how the young lady and my aunt are doing over there, and the young lady doesn't write much, and every time I write to the master, I have to look at it many times." ”

"Mrs. Gu and Commander Gu are both doing well in Yuanfeng County, so don't worry too much about it."

"Our lord likes to worry about everything, how can there be times when he doesn't worry."

Yes, how can a father in this world not worry about his children?

Lu Xiu hooked her lips, a little envious, she didn't remember what her father looked like at all.

The family only had the support of his mother, and the family had a hard time when he was a child, but later for them, his mother still chose to remarry.

Remarrying in such an identity, they naturally had a bad time, if it weren't for the inadvertent acquaintance with the sixth princess, she would not have had a chance to come to Hanjing at all, let alone have a chance to get to this day.

Her situation sounds better than Greentip, but she is also a wanderer, looking at people's eyes, except for the fact that there is no Israel, she is not more noble than Greentip.

Sun still lives in Xiruoyuan, her body is getting heavier and heavier now, she hardly goes out of the yard on weekdays, and there are a lot of maids waiting in the yard.

When Lu Xiu entered, she was lying on the bed and asked someone to massage her, the weather was warm, and there was no more charcoal burning in the house, but Sun was afraid of contracting the wind and cold, so he still asked people to close the doors and windows, and the house was a little breathable.

"Ma'am."

Lu Xiu called out and saluted.

The Lu family has long since declined, and everyone knows that His Majesty is quite dissatisfied with the Lu family, and all the big families who had good friends with the Lu family before have avoided the Lu family, only Shen Ruxiu is still willing to take care of her on Shen Bai's face, Lu Xiu is very grateful, and any good materials in the shop will be prepared for Shen Ruxiu and the Sun family.

Sun didn't understand so many twists and turns in the court, he had seen Lu Xiu a few times, and felt that she was really good, and no one came to visit on weekdays, so naturally the relationship with Lu Xiu became close.

"Come and sit down." Sun greeted the maid eagerly, asked the maid to retreat, and when Lu Xiu sat down, he immediately took her hand and said affectionately, "Why did you go for so long, I thought you wouldn't come back, no one has spoken to me for the past few months, and I'm almost suffocated." ”

She said the same thing as Chun Ling, Lu Xiu patted the back of her hand and replied with a smile: "Mrs. Gu is alone at the border gate, and there is no one to talk to on weekdays, so she will stay with me for a while." ”

Before Shen Bai left, he basically returned the dowry given by Shen Ruxiu, and the Sun family was not so hostile to her, but it was not too enthusiastic, and said lightly: "She has great ability, and with Gu Hengzhou to protect her, even if she breaks the sky, it will be nothing." ”

This is the truth, Lu Xiu nodded, and didn't say much on this topic, so as not to make the Sun family unhappy if something was wrong.

Lu Xiu picked up some novel and interesting things in Yuanfeng County and said that Sun was amused and laughed, and not long after, a little girl came to invite Lu Xiu, saying that Xiangye was done.

Sun muttered a sentence that Shen Ruxiu didn't know how to come directly to Xiruoyuan after she was busy, but she also understood that it was already very good for Shen Ruxiu to let her have another child, and she would not ask too much, so she generously let Lu Xiu leave.

Shen Ruxiu was in the study, and Lu Xiu was led over by his subordinates, and he was seen waiting outside the study from a distance.

After going to the court, he changed into his regular clothes, a gray and white shirt of cotton and linen, I don't know how many years he has worn it, the cuffs are a little off, Shen Bai has been absent in the past two years, and his hair has turned a lot whiter, that is, Lu Xiu, an outsider, feels sad when he looks at it.

When Lu Xiu approached, before he could salute, Shen Ruxiu said eagerly: "No need to be polite, I heard that you just came back yesterday, why don't you rest for two more days?" ”

"It's a carriage all the way, and I'm not tired." Lu Xiu said softly, and brought a flat wooden box made of yellow rosewood from Chun Ling, "This is what Mrs. Gu asked me to bring to my lord." ”

Shen Ruxiu didn't expect that there were still gifts to take, so he immediately smiled from ear to ear, took the wooden box and walked into the study with Lu Xiu.

The box opened, and inside were three brushes and one stone inkstone.

The shape of the stone inkstone is like a lotus leaf, and the stone is polished to be round and translucent, but there are a lot of impurities in it, and it is not good to touch, so I can't see what kind of jade it is.

However, Shen Ruxiu didn't care, he took the stone inkstone in his hand and looked at it, touched it and touched it, and couldn't put it down.

Lu Xiu said: "This is made by Mrs. Gu herself, the stone was found by her in Yuanfeng County, I don't know what material it is, I just heard Mrs. Gu say that this stone is harder than half of the stone, and it should not be a problem to make an inkstone, and this is made by her own hands, and adults should not dislike it." ”

Not to mention that Shen Bai made it himself, even if it was a gadget that Shen Bai bought casually on the street, Shen Ruxiu would be so happy.

However, Shen Ru still had his wisdom left, and under the strong pressure, Huanxi said with a stiff face: "Isn't she pregnant, why do you still make these things, and she is not afraid of hurting her hands?" ”

"Grand Commander Gu doesn't allow Mrs. Gu to do this, but she also misses the adult very much, so she secretly did it while Grand Commander Gu was not at home, and asked me to tell the adult, so that the adult should not say it, if you let the Great Commander Gu know, she will settle accounts with her."

Lu Xiu modified Shen Bai's words a little before saying them, Shen Ruxiu bent his eyebrows, muttered two more sentences, and asked Shen Bai about the situation in Yuanfeng County, Lu Xiu did not hide it, and said everything Shen Bai wanted to do.

Shen Ruxiu was worried and relieved, this is the daughter he raised single-handedly, that is, she is married, and this temperament has not changed as always, and she can't be idle.

Shen Ruxiu nodded and said with emotion: "Since she has arrived there, she should do something for the people there." ”

Lu Xiu comforted: "Commander Gu treats Mrs. Gu very well, and there are also Deputy General Li, Xuanyin Gongzi and the Gu family's guards to help, adults don't need to worry too much." ”

Shen Bai's ability is much greater than Shen Ruxiu imagined, and he has nothing to worry about, he just hopes that Shen Bai will not jump too out and affect the child in his womb.

Shen Ruxiu stayed with Lu Xiu and chatted for a long time, and seeing that the hour was not early, they had dinner together.

After eating, Lu Xiu came out with Chun Ling, refused Shen Ruxiu's proposal to send someone, and walked home slowly while the moonlight was shining.

When he was about to get home, he suddenly saw a black shadow dangling at the door, Lu Xiu subconsciously pulled Chun Ling to hide behind the corner, Chun Ling didn't see who that person was, and asked nervously: "Miss, could it be Zhang Hao's scoundrel again?" ”

Chun Ling's voice trembled, and Lu Xiu said calmly: "I'll go over and take a look in a while, if the situation is not right, you quickly go to the people of the Night Patrol Division to report to the official." ”

Chun Ling grabbed Lu Xiu's hand, shook his head and said, "Miss, I'll go, it's too dangerous for you to go." ”

"Listen to me."

Lu Xiu said firmly, the momentum of his whole body suddenly calmed Chun Ling, Chun Ling couldn't say anything to refute, Lu Xiu swept around, saw a piece of gravel not far away, picked it up and hid it in his sleeve, and strode over.

There was no light in the courtyard, it was dark, and the black shadow was also very dark, just from the back, it was quite tall and burly, and Lu Xiu was not sure that he would be able to hit him at once.

The closer he got, the more nervous he became, Lu Xiu felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and when he was still two or three steps away, the black shadow suddenly turned around.

The strings in his head snapped suddenly, and Lu Xiu used all his strength to throw the stone out. 89 Books

The stone went straight to the man's door, but the man only raised his hand slightly to catch the stone, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" ”

It's Zhou Jue.

Hearing his voice, Lu Xiu relaxed, his legs were a little weak, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "It's so late, what is Commander Zhou doing standing at my door?" ”

"It's so late, what are you still hanging out there?" Zhou Jue asked rhetorically, walked towards Lu Xiu, and just took a step, Chun Ling rushed out with a scream, found a wooden stick out of nowhere, and swung it towards Zhou Jue's head.

"Miss, run!"

Chun Ling shouted, Lu Xiu didn't have time to stop it, he was held by Zhou Jue on the back of his head and pressed into his arms to protect it, and heard the muffled sound of the wooden stick hitting the flesh and the sound of the wooden stick breaking.

Chun Ling didn't recognize Zhou Jue yet, so she threw a wooden stick to break Zhou Jue's hand, and kept scolding: "Bastard, if you let go of my young lady, my young lady won't be your concubine, if you pester young lady again, we will go to the government to sue you!" ”

Chun Ling's strength was like tickling in front of Zhou Jue, he grabbed Chun Ling's shoulder with one hand and lifted her away a little, and asked coldly: "Who wants to make your young lady a concubine?" ”

The Spring Spirit statue was pointed, and suddenly there was no sound, and he asked in surprise for a while: "Commander Zhou, why are you?" ”

Isn't that me?

Zhou Jue was speechless, and he was about to continue to ask the question just now, but Lu Xiu struggled out of his arms and asked softly, "Are you injured?" Do you want to take medicine? ”

The wood used by Chun Ling had rotted, and he blocked it with his hand, but it didn't hurt, but Lu Xiu asked so, Zhou Jue hesitated and asked calmly: "Is there any trauma medicine at home?" ”

"Yes."

Lu Xiu nodded, Zhou Jue didn't speak again, and entered the courtyard with the master and servant.

This is the first time he has entered here, the yard is not big, you can see it with a random sweep, and it is just right for two people.

The two went out for a day, and the clothes hanging in the yard were confiscated, as well as intimate clothes, Chun Ling reacted and stammered: "Zhou Datong will go in and sit down, and the slave will go to make tea." ”

After finishing speaking, he rushed over to collect things, Lu Xiu pretended that nothing had happened, and led Zhou Jue into the house.

The medicinal wine was placed in the outermost cabinet, Lu Xiu took it out, and Zhou Jue naturally opened half of the collar and took his right arm out of the clothes.

Half of his shoulders and chest were exposed, and the man's tight texture was particularly eye-catching in the dim light, full of strength and wildness, obviously he didn't do anything, and Lu Xiu also felt a little aggressive.

She was a little scared, grabbed the medicine bottle, and was about to find an excuse to excuse herself, Zhou Jue looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Xiu shook his head, poured the medicinal wine in his hand, and slowly covered it in the crook of his arm and kneaded it evenly.

Just now she was taken aback, she broke out in a cold sweat, and her hands were a little cold, but his body was very hot, and the moment of the tentacles was even a little hot, Lu Xiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, she didn't dare to look around, she concentrated on rubbing the medicine, and whispered: "Chun Ling is also so reckless because he is worried about me, please don't be with her." ”

As soon as Lu Xiu mentioned it, Zhou Jue remembered the reaction of the two of them, and frowned: "Fortunately, it's me tonight, if someone else comes, do you want to get into a life lawsuit?" ”

The two of them didn't ask anything, and they just beat them all the way up, which was too guarded.

Lu Xiu explained: "I was not there a few years ago, only Chun Ling was at home alone, there were many thefts in the city, and Chun Ling was also scared, and in a few days I went to hire two nursing homes and it would not be like this." ”

There are only two of them, and they haven't left the cabinet, not to mention how inconvenient it is to invite the nursing home, and it will cause criticism, Zhou Jue felt that it was not appropriate, thought about it and said: "Looking for the nursing home, I can help pay attention to it, you don't have to be too anxious." ”

Lu Xiu's movements paused slightly, he lifted his eyes to look at Zhou Jue, his expression was natural, and he seemed to be used to helping her, Lu Xiu bit his lip and whispered: "Don't bother the commander, someone will help me hire someone." ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Jue's face suddenly sank, his hands clenched into fists, and the muscles on his arms tightened inch by inch, making Lu Xiu's palms hurt.

The atmosphere was stiff, making it difficult for people to breathe, Chun Ling walked in with a teapot, and Lu Xiu immediately retracted his hand, as if his hands were burned by charcoal fire.

Chun Ling had never gotten along with a man, and when she saw that half of Zhou Jue's body was exposed, her little face immediately burned red.

Zhou Jue slowly got dressed, and said lightly: "The injury is not serious, it will be fine in two days, the hour is not early, I am not suitable here, so I will leave first." ”

After speaking, he didn't give the two a chance to speak, and got up and left directly.

After a long time, Chun Ling came back to his senses and asked sneeringly: "Miss, did Commander Zhou say what he was going to do here tonight?" ”

Lu Xiu said: "I just happened to be passing by." ”

Chun Ling nodded, and felt that something was wrong, Commander Zhou didn't look like he was passing by, he stood at the door for a long time.

Chun Ling was puzzled, Lu Xiu put the medicinal wine back into the cabinet, his palm was still hot, and he was a little numb.

Chun Ling remembered what was going on, looked at Lu Xiu and said nervously: "By the way, Miss, I just collected the clothes and found that there was a piece of clothing missing." ”

"Was it blown away by the wind?" Lu Xiu asked, her heartbeat was still a little fast, Chun Ling shook her head, and said, "It didn't blow much today, and I was afraid that the clothes would be blown away, so I paid attention to it when I was drying, and I didn't lose any other clothes, so I lost that one." ”

Chun Ling's expression was very serious, and Lu Xiu finally noticed that something was wrong and asked, "What did you lose?" ”

Chun Ling lowered her voice and said, "I lost Miss's belly pocket." ”

Lu Xiu pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little disgusted.

If this thing is stolen by someone, I am afraid that the other party will not do anything good if it is taken away, and if it is publicized again, there is no need to see people.

"Miss, what should we do now?"

Miss went to Yuanfeng County for a trip, Shougong Sand is gone, and now the belly pocket has been stolen again, if these things are known by others, won't Miss be killed?

Chun Ling was so anxious that Lu Xiu frowned and said, "Don't make a noise for now, let's see." ”

Spring Ling should be, and in the next few days, Lu Xiu was in the shop.

Summer is about to begin, and she has to hurry up and let the embroiderer make some new styles and put them in the store to attract business.

After the new clothes were ready, she took the tea cake and the letter from Xuanyin to the Jinglan Silk Village in the south of the city.

Jinglan Silk Village is the largest silk village in Hanjing, there are the most fashionable cloth patterns in the whole Zhaoling, and many times even the little lord of the palace will send people to buy cloth here.

The silk village is doing a lot of business, and Lu Xiu's ready-to-wear shop is not big enough to be in their eyes, but Xuanyin helped write the letter, and Lu Xiu couldn't live up to his kindness, so he had the courage to give it a try.

The wax used to seal the envelope was made into a very special shape, and the guy from the silk village immediately welcomed Lu Xiu in respectfully when he saw it.

In front of Zhuangzi is a shop, connected with the manor behind by a long corridor, through the long corridor, there is a hole in the back, Lu Xiu couldn't help but look at it twice.

The area of the manor is very large, there are rockery pools, pavilions and water pavilions, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a carved beam and a painted building, the Lu family was backed by the queen mother, and the mansion was nothing more than that, which shows how strong the financial resources of the owner behind the manor are.

Lu Xiu and Chun Ling were taken to a guest room for a short rest, and soon a maid brought exquisite refreshments.

Lu Xiu didn't have much appetite, so he only drank some tea, Chun Ling tasted two bites of dim sum, his eyes widened in surprise, and he knew that the pastries were delicious at a glance.

However, the two waited from morning to almost noon, and no one came to see them, and Chun Ling wanted to ask someone several times, but Lu Xiu stopped them.

Sitting until noon, the maid brought a meal, two people, four dishes and one soup, and the dishes were sumptuous.

Lu Xiu and Chun Ling only ate half of it, and took a nap after eating, and in the evening, the guy came to say that the owner had something to do and didn't have time to see them.

Isn't this a joke?

Wouldn't it be nice to say that you don't have time, when others are idle all day long?

Chun Ling was about to get angry on the spot, and was stopped by Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu said to the guy gently: "Prince Xuanyin wrote a letter for me, I came here to admit his love, but I have no relationship with the owner, so I will no longer come to bother in the future. ”

The guy didn't expect Lu Xiu to be so calm, his attitude was not impatient, and he said, "Girl, go slowly." ”

Lu Xiu walked out with Chun Ling, and Chun Ling couldn't help muttering: "Miss, they are so arrogant, why aren't you angry at all?" ”

Lu Xiu said: "People have the confidence to be arrogant, we are already inferior, what is there to be angry about?" ”

Chun Ling was still angry and said, "But ......"

Lu Xiu smiled and said lightly: "It's nothing, this world is like this, if people want to live an easy life, they can't care so much, people don't owe us anything, and they have no obligation to help us." ”

Chun Ling opened his mouth and found that he had no way to refute it, so he could only follow Lu Xiu home in frustration.

Two days later, the news of the establishment spread throughout Zhaoling, and the whole country celebrated.

Expecting that there would be more banquets in the future, Lu Xiu was busy visiting around to pull orders, but he could only receive a few orders from the maids and maids.

Lu Xiu and Lujian are different in the end, some words can't be spoken, some things can't be done, she feels a little unbearable, but other ready-to-wear shops also secretly pried away the two embroidery girls at a high price.

The previous orders couldn't catch up, so Lu Xiu and Chunling had to work together to help catch up.

Finally, I finished it on the agreed day, and hired a carriage to deliver the clothes.

When they arrived, it happened to be dinner, and Lu Xiu waited at the back door for a while before waiting for the housekeeper's grandmother, who didn't take her clothes, and half-forcibly pulled her to the dining room.

The family's surname is Bai, and they just moved to Hanjing the year before last, and it is said that the family is mining, and there is a mine in Muzhou, and there is money and money, but Mrs. Bai's temper is not very good, and she is demanding and picky, and many ready-to-wear shops have made clothes for them once and don't want to do it a second time.

Before, Lujian didn't know what method to use, so she coaxed Mrs. Bai very happy, and made all the lists in the house for them, which was a big customer of the ready-to-wear shop.

On weekdays, the housekeeper communicates with Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu has never seen Mrs. Bai, and when she entered the front hall at this time, she saw a rich and powerful couple wearing gold and silver sitting at the top of the position, and she didn't have to guess to know that it was Mrs. Bai and Master Bai.

However, to Lu Xiu's surprise, Zhang Hao was also in the middle of the banquet, and he was sitting close to Mrs. Bai, and it seemed that he had a very good relationship with Mrs. Bai.

Seeing Lu Xiu being brought in, Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows, which was meaningful.

Lu Xiu pretended not to see it, and greeted Mrs. Bai and Master Bai first.

The next person added chairs and chopsticks, and Lu Xiu couldn't refuse anymore, so he sat at the bottom of the seat to eat.

Everyone's eyes were glued to her, and Lu Xiu really didn't have much appetite in this case, but she didn't say anything, just stuffed her head.

After a while, Mrs. Bai said: "I didn't know that Miss Lu was the real owner of the ready-to-wear shop, if I had known that Miss Lu was so good-looking and had such a dusty temperament, I should have met Miss Lu earlier." ”

Lu Xiu stopped his chopsticks and swallowed what was in his mouth before saying, "Madame, Lu Xiu can't afford it." ”

The Bai family is considered a nouveau riche, and there are no rules when eating, and there are even people who chirp, and Lu Xiu's actions seem incompatible with them.

Another woman dressed as a woman sneered, and said with a gun and a stick: "Miss Lu is humble now, didn't she still refuse to be a concubine before?" ”

Sure enough, they all knew that Lu Xiu had refused to be a concubine for Zhang Hao before.

Today's meal, I'm afraid it can't be good.

Lu Xiu didn't panic, stood up and straightened the hem of his clothes, and bowed to Zhang Hao to apologize: "The Lu family has declined, Lu Xiu knows that he has a bad background, and he has no virtuous virtues, so he is not worthy of Zhang Gongzi, so he dared to refuse. ”

The woman didn't appreciate it at all, and said sharply: "It's just a concubine, what's not worthy of it, and you really treat us all as idiots, and you can't understand what you deliberately said?" ”

This person spoke bluntly, Lu Xiu smiled good-naturedly, and said: "Lu Xiu is indeed nothing, Zhang Gongzi has a family background and outstanding character, he will definitely be able to find a good match, don't take me seriously." ”

The woman sneered coldly and said directly, "Don't come to those vain ones, if you really want to apologize to my cousin, drink the wine on the table!" ”

The wine on the table should have been prepared for Lu Xiu from the beginning, the white jade pot was filled with three pots, Lu Xiu had only drunk fruit wine, and if these three pots went down, he was afraid that he would have to take half his life.

Lu Xiu whispered, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink." ”

"Miss Lu is a businessman, how can she not drink, she looks down on us."

Lu Xiu couldn't answer these words, Lu Xiu also knew that there were many Bai family members at this time, and she was a weak woman who couldn't fight with them, so she softened her voice, looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Is the same what Zhang Gongzi meant?" ”

Lu Xiu's eyes were moist and clear, Zhang Hao was looked at by her, and his heart suddenly rippled, and he endured excitement and said: "I am happy with Xiuxiu, naturally I am reluctant to treat you like this, and you don't have to say anything worthy or unworthy in the future, as long as you follow me well, I will definitely not let you suffer losses, how about it?" ”

This is to force her to deal with it.

Lu Xiu kept smiling and said, "Lu Xiu is really fortunate to be so favored by Zhang Gongzi. ”
