On the other hand, Lu Jue's order last night was only one morning, and he could do what Lu Jue commanded, which shows that Lei Gang's ability to do things is not bad. He spread out the portrait he had drawn on the table, and the half-length appearance of Zhou Ruoshui was painted on it, with a wisp of sadness like himself.

Lei Gang said: "The Zhou family is a famous family in Hangzhou, although the lady and the eldest lady who are still in the boudoir rarely go out, but because the two young ladies are famous for their beauty, it is not difficult to find this portrait. ”

But Lu Jue was sad when she heard it, her fiancée was so famous that her husband disliked her husband and her marriage was repeatedly postponed. He raised his hand and gently brushed his fingers over the cheeks of the portrait Zhou Ruoshui, and whispered, "Fortunately, I didn't make a mistake." He closed it and picked it up, but saw that Lei Gang looked like he wanted to say something, and said, "If you have something, just say it, don't be embarrassed."

"Yes." This matter is incredible, he was still thinking about how to talk about it to Lu Jue, but he didn't expect him to ask first, and there was no concern in his heart. After Lu Jue sat down, he poured tea for him before saying, "When I inquired about my wife's appearance, I heard something about my wife's life experience. ”

As soon as he heard that it was about Zhou Ruoshui, Lu Jue put down the tea that had just been brought to his mouth, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lei Gang said: "The person who said this is a rough mother-in-law of the Zhou family, she was a second-class girl who opened the door and lifted the curtain in the courtyard of Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou when she was young, she has been working in the Zhou family for more than ten years, and when she first entered the Zhou family, Mrs. was not born, and the eldest lady was just a toddler. ”

Although Lu Jue didn't understand what he meant, he also felt the strangeness in it, and asked again: "What did she say?" ”

Lei Gang said: "She said that when she entered the mansion, Master Zhou was just past the year of his establishment, but there was only one wife and no concubines around him, not even a girl in the room. Just a year before his wife was born, Mr. Zhou had never been out of Hangzhou City, nor had he been to Qingyuan. Moreover, I have also inquired about some old people, and there was no actor named Yu Liuli who came to Hangzhou more than ten years ago. ”

Isn't that to say、、、、、、, Lu Jue couldn't help but be startled, stood up abruptly and said, "Then, who is that water." ”

In front of them, how could Lu Jue have been so out of shape, seeing this appearance, Lei Gang smiled and immediately said with relief: "Adults don't have to doubt, there is no need to doubt that Madam is the daughter of Master Zhou." And Mrs. is not an illegitimate daughter at all, but the daughter of Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou. The mother-in-law said that just a year before Mrs. Zhou was born, Mrs. Zhou was pregnant and safe, and gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and it was the same day as Mrs. Zhou's birthday. ”

The more Lu Jue listened, the more excited she became, and hurriedly asked: "That mother-in-law can say, how did Shui'er become an illegitimate daughter from the second lady of her sister-in-law?" ”

Lei Gang said: "It was when Mrs. was born 100 days ago, and it was also when the mother-in-law was on duty. In the year of establishment, there was a daughter, and Master Zhou was very happy, and he feasted the guests on the 100th day of his wife. For three days in a row, the girls and servants were busy without stopping. After the dinner that night, the people cleaned up and rested as usual, but I don't know if it was because of the busyness of several days in a row, or because it had been designed a long time ago, and all the people in the house slept soundly. At this moment, a masked woman suddenly broke in and stole the infant lady in this way. The girl guarding the door and the nurse of the lady were also severely punished by Mrs. Zhou for dereliction of duty, and the mother-in-law was demoted from a second-class maid to a rough envoy. After Mrs. was stolen, Master Zhou offered a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to find it, and he also sent people and personally searched for it for two whole years. But just two years later, because of the arrival of a person, Master Zhou suddenly stopped looking for it. ”

It is not difficult to say that Lu Jue is smart, and with such a little clue, he was involved with Yu Muzhen. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "That masked woman of the Zhou family." ”

Lei Gang nodded and said, "My lord's guess is that woman, not only did she come back this time, but there was also a girl who came back with her." Because the loss of the lady involved in the mother-in-law has been blaming herself, I heard that the masked woman was holding a girl and went to see it secretly, she said that the masked woman was two or three years old, and her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Master Zhou, just this glance she was very sure that the girl was the lost lady. Puzzled, he asked her why she was so sure, and she said、、、、、、"

Lu Jue suddenly remembered what Zhou Wenfeng had told him a few years ago, stretched out his right hand and said: "Because Shui'er once had a defect, that is, there were six fingers on his right hand, and the extra ones were cut off by Poria Cocos' father when I was a teenager seeking medical treatment in Hangzhou." The father-in-law once said that it was a genetic disease of the mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and although the elder brother and the eldest lady were very fortunate not to inherit it, who knew that the second daughter was not so lucky. At the time, I was still wondering why my father-in-law would tell me this, but it didn't seem like a superfluous move. The rumor that Shui'er is an illegitimate daughter should have come after the masked woman came! ”

It is not difficult to say that Zhou Wenfeng has good intentions, not only afraid that his daughter will be hurt, but also tactfully told Lu Jue that his daughter is a relative, so that Lu Jue will not be rumored to treat her badly.

Lei Gang nodded and said: "After saying this, the mother-in-law also babbled about some gossip about Mrs. after returning to the house, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Lu Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Speak." "There may be something about why Zhou Ruoshui is so jealous of Zhou Ruoning.

"Yes, although Master Zhou explained the identity of his wife more than once after his wife returned home, it was rumored that it would be difficult to change it after he had gone out, and he was afraid that it would become darker and darker, so he hoped that time could dilute everything. Who knew that there would be another hidden danger in this, that is, the eldest lady! After the loss of Mrs., Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou put all their love into this daughter, and the eldest lady had a perverse temper due to excessive doting, which became even more serious after Mrs. returned home. Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were afraid that Mrs. would be hurt, and the two of them were inseparable, even if they were not in the house, they would order one person to take good care of them. But even so, the eldest lady still finds fault many times, and it is common to occupy more clothes, fabrics, gold and silver jewelry, fortunately, Mrs. has never said anything about it, although Zhou Lao also feels that he is at a loss to Mrs., but both of them are his own daughters, and the palms and backs of his hands are meat, as long as the eldest lady does not do anything out of line, she will choose to turn a blind eye. ”

"Then this time, in addition to the fact that the parents-in-law are not suppressed by no one in the house, there must be other reasons!"

"It's Mu Zhen, the mother-in-law said that when Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou left, Master Zhou had looked for Mu Zhen and said something to the mother-in-law I don't know, asking her to take care of Mrs. is something that everyone knows, but the masked woman quickly came to make friends with the eldest lady."

"Then I understand, so you dare to play this kind of trick with me. But I want to thank her for not killing the water. You 、、、、、、" Lu Jue was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and looked at Zhou Ruoshui walking in. also hid the color of anger, and his eyes were full of tenderness and pity.

Zhou Ruoshui walked into the private room, saw that Lei Gang was still there, and each performed a blessing ceremony, and said with a look of self-reproach: "It's really not the right time for the slave to come, this is 、、、、、、."

As she spoke, Lu Jue had already walked to her side, reached out to touch her shoulder, and said softly: "We have finished talking, you don't have to leave." He turned his head to Lei Gang and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you go back to the post station to rest for a few days, and if there is something, I will pass on to you again." ”

"Yes, Lei just retired." After saluting the two of them, he retreated.

After seeing Lei Gang leave, Zhou Ruoshui turned his head and was about to say something, but Lu Jue walked to the table by the hand, and he said, "Don't stand, let's sit down and talk." After speaking, he put the snacks on the table in front of Zhou Ruoshui one by one.

Lu Jue's actions made Zhou Ruoshui very puzzled, and he hesitated for a moment before sitting down and asked softly: "Son, what are the instructions for letting the slave and maid come." ”

"Don't be nervous, I have something I want to hear. I couldn't find the right person before, and I think you and she are the same age, so I hope you can help me solve my problems. As he spoke, he put the poured plum blossom tea in front of her, sat down and pointed and said, "This dim sum and tea are very good, you can taste it yourself." Although Lu Jue wanted to recognize Zhou Ruoshui very much, she still suppressed the unspeakable secrets in Zhou Ruoshui's heart, and now she only hopes to learn something from their conversation, so as to solve her worries.

Zhou Ruoshui hurriedly got up and said again: "Slave and maid thank you、、、、、、"

"There aren't so many rules, just sit and answer." Lu Jue hurriedly got up and pressed her to the seat, looked at her intently and asked, "I want to ask you and others are suffering?" ”

Zhou Ruoshui was taken aback and asked, "Why did Childe ask this question?" ”

Lu Jue was full of self-reproach and said: "The second lady has been married to me for many years, and she should have married a long time ago, but I have found excuses to procrastinate again and again. Although I kept my promise this time, I was inevitably worried because of the dishonesty many times, and I haven't seen Shui'er for a few years, and I want to know her thoughts at this time. However, if I took the liberty of asking, I was afraid that it would break her heart. ”

This sentence was like a sharp knife cut on Zhou Ruoshui's heart, she lowered her head and frowned with a melancholy face, and said quietly: "Since Childe asked like this, then I have cared in my heart, I have missed the appointment every year, and I have postponed the marriage date three times, has Childe ever thought about how Shui Er should deal with himself!" Gossip is like a sharp knife piercing the heart, since the unintentional son why didn't he raise his noble hand to withdraw from the marriage and let her go, even if the green lantern ancient Buddha I think the second lady will thank the son. ”

Hearing her say this, Lu Jue didn't feel distressed, leaned forward with his hands on the table, and said softly with a face full of pity: "It's been a long time, how do you know that there is no heart." How do you know if I'm really willing to let go? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ruoshui raised his head and looked at him with expectation, and asked tightly: "If it's true, then why don't you come?" ”

This question made Lu Jue speechless, because it was pale and powerless to quibble at this time. After a while, he asked again: "It's hard to wait for someone." ”

Zhou Ruoshui lowered his head and said with a faint smile: "There are sweet and bitter, the only hope is that this person can wait." ”

It seemed that Lu Jue got the answer he wanted in his heart, he was so excited in his heart, and the tenderness on his face became stronger, he sat sideways next to Zhou Ruoshui, and asked excitedly, "When did you enter the Zhou Mansion?" ”

Hearing him ask this, Zhou Ruoshui was slightly stunned, glanced at Lu Jue with some puzzlement, and said in confusion: "Seven years ago in the summer." ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue clenched his hands and asked again: "I have always been a slave and maid since I entered the Zhou family, and I have been working as an errand in the eldest lady's room?" At this time, he hoped that Zhou Ruoshui could open his heart to him, because no matter what difficulties she had, he would solve them for him. But he was disappointed.

Zhou Ruoshui lowered his head lightly and said softly: "The slave maid has been in the washroom, and it is the eldest lady who sees that the slave maid is working diligently, so she will send the slave maid to serve the son." ”

After hearing this, Lu Jue's heart couldn't help but tingle, who is not to blame, it was caused by himself, and now it can only be said that he has seen people's hearts for a long time. Stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Ruoshui's gently trembling hand, and said in a firm tone: "Xiao Ruo, I am not a weak man, since I am here, I can prove that I will be responsible." Whatever happens, there can be a way to fix it,"

His words seemed to have some magic, and Zhou Ruoshui said uncontrollably: "I 、、、、、、" But after only saying one word, he was frightened by the terrible consequences and shut up. The body trembled slightly and said: "I don't want to embarrass the son, the son is still 、、、、、、"

"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about that. Asking questions here will only make her collapse and escape, which is also the last thing Lu Jue wants to see. He took her hand in his hand, patted it gently, and said, "Then stay by my side, just do nothing and talk to me." ”

Maybe Zhou Ruoshui was looking forward to this sentence too much, and he didn't pay attention to Lu Jue's hand holding it in his hand, and said happily: "Is it really possible?" The slave thanked the son. ”

It turns out that people can be satisfied like this, seeing that she is happy that Lu Jue is also happy, and she just hopes that the coming days will be long, and there will be time.

Empty for a few years, correspondence, love roots planted early, only one intention, that is, like a beautiful flower, don't take the red face again
