141 You Can't Escape!
"But can Concubine Lu really beat Lu He?" Lu Nianjin frowned, looked at Xiao Xun uncertainly and asked rhetorically.
Xiao Xun took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said lightly with a light look in his eyes, "It's a mixed win, no one can bite anyone, but no one will let anyone have a good time," Speaking of this, he put down the teacup, changed the topic, and said, "It's not that you want to go to Wisteria Mansion, let's go now!" ”
"Oh!" Lu Nianjin agreed, then got up and helped him walk out.
Outside, the carriage was ready, and after the two got into the car, they went straight to Wisteria Mansion.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Wisteria Mansion.
Lu Nianjin helped Xiao Xun get out of the car, and both of them wore long gauze fences on their heads.
"Forgive me, two guest officers, our Wisteria Mansion is closed for rectification these days and will not accept guests." Xiao Er, who was guarding the door, saw the two of them go up the steps, hurriedly stepped forward, and reminded Qian'er.
"We are here to find Mrs. Wan," Lu Nianjin lifted the fence and lightly reported Zhang's name.
Xiao Er had a little impression of Lu Nianjin, opened his body to the side, and said respectfully, "Two nobles, please, our lady is inside." ”
"Well," Lu Nianjin replied lightly, taking Xiao Xun's hand and walking inside.
The decoration of the hall of Wisteria Mansion has been completed, and Zhang happened to have time today, so he came over to accept it, and when Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun came in, she was checking the distance between the stage and the seats.
She looked at it seriously, and it wasn't until Xiao Er walked quickly to her side and told her the news of Lu Nianjin's arrival that she seemed to react, and saluted Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun beside her, "My subordinates have seen the prince and the princess." ”
Xiao Xun had already taken off the fence on his head, he glanced at Zhang lightly, and said, "No need to be polite." When the words fell, Lu Nianjin's hand was spread and looked around.
Zhang Shi watched his back walk away little by little, and then moved lightly to Lu Nianjin's side, and said, "Crown Princess, why did you bring the crown prince here." ”
"He is a national teacher, and he has always been the last fortune teller," Lu Nianjin looked at the Zhang family and explained in a light tone, "With his blessing in our Wisteria Mansion, maybe business will be a little better." ”
After hearing this, the Zhang family didn't know what to say, so he had to shake his head and look at Lu Nianjin and said, "The prince is really too indulgent of you." ”
Lu Nianjin smiled, and was about to ask her how she felt about this decoration, but before she could speak, there was a sudden sound of stumbling footsteps outside, and when someone came closer, it was Uncle Zhang. I saw that his clothes were disheveled, his face was sad, and his gray beard was full of blood.
When he saw Zhang, he ran forward crying and shouted, "Miss, it's not good, the little boy and the little miss were snatched away by the people of the Wan family." ”
"What did you say?" When Zhang heard that something had happened to Ping'an'an, he rushed to Uncle Zhang in three steps and two steps, and asked urgently, "Ping'er and An'er were taken away by the people of the Wanjia family?" ”
Uncle Zhang gasped and nodded, "Miss Hui's words, it's like this, the old slave is incompetent, he can't stand the little boy and the little master, it's the old slave who is incompetent!" ”
"Uncle Zhang. It's none of your business. Zhang first comforted Uncle Zhang, then turned his head and glanced at Lu Nianjin as an explanation, and the next moment, he was about to walk out.
Lu Nianjin was afraid that she would make a big mistake because of impulsiveness, so he hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Mrs. Wan, don't worry, you go alone, even if you have a hundred explanations, Wan Zhong and Mrs. Wan are afraid that they will not return you Ping'er and An'er to you, we have to think about this matter in the long run." ”
"How can you think about it in the long run!" Ping'er and An'er are Zhang's hearts, and when the two children left her side, she panicked, her eyes were red, and she almost went crazy.
"I mean, you and Wanzhong's affairs must be cut through the mess quickly, and then the custody of Ping'er and An'er will be completely in your hands." Lu Nianjin pondered for a moment and said.
Zhang's heart looked at her like a knife, pressed his heart, and looked at her with tears streaming down his face, "Crown Princess, I want to do this too, but I really don't know what to do!" No woman in Wanzhong's back house gave birth to a child one day, Ping'er and An'er are the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Wan family, even if I say that I break the sky and risk my life, Wanzhong and Mrs. Wan Lao will not give Ping'er and An'er to me. ”
"Then they have to give." Lu Nianjin said, "That's it, I'll personally accompany you on a trip to Wanfu." ”
"Crown Princess......" Zhang didn't expect Lu Nianjin to value her so much, and the whole person was stunned.
"Let's go!" Lu Nianjin took her hand and walked out, "Let's think about it again on the way." ”
"The prince," before going out, Zhang finally remembered Xiao Xun, she turned her head sideways, looked at Lu Nianjin and asked.
Lu Nianjin had a touch of embarrassment on her face, she hurriedly turned around, only to see Xiao Xun standing not far away, looking at her with some resentment.
"Come here," he beckoned to her after a moment.
Lu Nianjin pursed his lips and froze for a moment, but finally let go of Zhang's hand and walked towards him.
The world is big, and the patients are the biggest.
"What does the prince command?" She stood still in front of him, bowed slightly, and asked.
Xiao Xun raised his hand, pinched her warm palm, and said, "You stay, stay with the palace, and let the ministers go with Mrs. Wan." ”
"Let the ministers go?" Lu Nianjin raised his head and asked, Xiao Xun looked into her eyes, and snorted, "He goes, if there is any dispute, at least he can protect Mrs. Wan, and you," he lowered his gaze, looked at her already bulging lower abdomen, and said, "I still have Mrs. Wan to protect you." ”
Lu Nianjin: "......" She gently stroked her lower abdomen, but she was speechless.
After a long while, he coughed lightly, looked at Laichen and said, "Then there is Lord Laolai." ”
Laichen held a cold face and bowed his hand slightly, "Please rest assured that the princess will not fail in his mission." ”
"Hmm," Lu Nianjin nodded, and glanced back at Zhang.
Zhang was not dissatisfied with Xiao Xun's arrangement, only grateful, she bowed to Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun from a distance, and then turned around and left with the minister.
After the Zhang family left, Xiao Xun raised his hand and lightly tapped Lu Nianjin's forehead, "Do you have this palace in your eyes?" ”
Lu Nianjin touched his forehead and smiled awkwardly, "I naturally don't have you in my eyes, because you are all in my heart!" ”
"You!" Xiao Xun doted and helplessly glanced at her, "Let's go." ”
"Where to go?"
"Going home?"
"But, aren't you here to see Feng Shui?"
"I've finished reading it," he said, he pulled his legs and walked out, Lu Nianjin hurriedly chased after him, and said while chasing, "Ah Xun, what do you see?" Is there anything that needs to be changed? ”
"Yes."
"What's that that needs to be changed?"
"I'll talk about it later."
"Why go back and say it, can't you say it here?"
Xiao Xun suddenly stopped, grabbed her arm, looked at her and said, "There are too many places to change, and you don't move Feng Shui Zhou Yi, I can't tell you clearly for a while, and when I go back, I will tell you again when I point to Kanyutu." ”
"Oh!" Lu Nianjin replied sullenly, "I know." ”
With that, the two of them had already left the Wisteria Mansion.
"I'll help you get in the car!" Standing in front of the car ladder, Lu Nianjin stretched out a hand towards Xiao Xun and said.
Xiao Xun snorted, put his hand on her shoulder, Lu Nianjin was stunned, looked up at him, raised his eyebrows and said embarrassedly, "This is on the street, can you not be so ......"
"How?" Xiao Xun looked at her condescendingly and asked.
Lu Nianjin sighed, "Forget it, let's go!" She slowly helped him into the carriage.
In the carriage, after Xiao Xun sat down, he took Lu Nianjin in his arms and pecked her lightly on the lips.
Lu Nianjin was trapped in his arms, his cheeks were hot, he held his chest uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”
"It's nothing," Xiao Xun let go of her and closed his eyes without squinting.
Lu Nianjin: "......"
She took a deep breath and cursed in her heart for being neurotic.
Back at the National Teacher's Mansion, Xiao Xun went straight to the study to draw a map of the Wisteria Mansion, Lu Nianjin was worried about the peace and security of the Zhang family, so he couldn't sit still and simply went to Luoshenyuan.
Since Luo Shenyuan moved out, the main room has been locked and blocked, Lu Nianjin glanced at it, and turned in the direction of the pharmacy.
The fetal pills she had made last time were almost exhausted, and she wanted to remake some more.
Halfway through the concoction, Yun Shu knocked on the door and walked in from the outside.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Nianjin put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and looked at her.
Yun Shu bowed down and said, "If you go back to the girl, the lord is back, and he knows that the girl is worried about Mrs. Wan's affairs, so he will let the slave and maid come to report to you." ”
"The result?" Lu Nianjin frowned and asked.
Yun Shu lowered her eyelids slightly, "Old Madam Wan and Wan Daguan disposed of his wife Xie, and Mrs. Wan decided to take the child back to Wanjia." ”
"Oh!" Lu Nianjin didn't know how to evaluate Zhang's approach, so he could only sigh softly.
Yun Shu sighed, "...... If the girl has nothing else to command, the slave and maid will go down first. ”
"Don't leave yet, there is one thing," Lu Nianjin stopped Yun Shu, who was about to leave, and walked towards Duobao Pavilion, rummaged through the lattices for a while, and finally found an envelope, handed it to Yun Shu and said, "You take this and return it to Mrs. Wan!" ”
"Girl, what is this?" Yun Shu asked more.
Lu Nianjin said, "It's her deed of sale." ”
"Deed of Sale?" Yun Shu looked surprised, "Mrs. Wan, she actually sold herself to a girl?" ”
"It's all in the past, there's no need to mention it anymore," Lu Nianjin shook his head lightly, "Go ahead!" ”
"Yes, girl!" Yun Shu was ordered to leave.
Lu Nianjin looked at the closed door, she didn't make a sound for a long time, and it was a long time before she looked away and continued to concoct the medicinal materials in her hand.
Yun Shu came back more than an hour later, when she went to the pharmacy to resume her life, Lu Nianjin had already finished preparing the medicinal herbs, lay down on the couch and fell asleep, her sleeping face was quiet and beautiful, Yun Shu stood next to her, and she didn't dare to disturb for a while.
Lu Nianjin slept for a long time, but when she woke up again, what she saw was the dark blue tent roof of the Cloud Ladder Courtyard.
"Ahh She turned to Xiao Xun beside the bed blankly, held her forehead, and asked suspiciously, "Why am I here, shouldn't I be in the pharmacy?" ”
"I brought you back," Xiao Xun explained as he looked at her mildly.
Lu Nianjin snorted.
Xiao Xun touched her heart lovingly, and asked again, "Are you hungry, let's eat together?" ”
Lu Nianjin wanted to say that he couldn't eat it, but when he thought of the child in his womb, he silently swallowed this sentence, turned over and got out of bed, and walked out with Xiao Xun.
Today's dinner is the craftsmanship of Chef Zhang, which is light, delicate and delicious.
Lu Nianjin ate and unconsciously opened his appetite.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Xun personally helped her put on a cloak and took her to the garden to eat.
I don't know if it's because she complained about the layout of the courtyard, at this time, there are a lot of chrysanthemums in the garden, which are the kind of small plants, spreading in large patches, all kinds of colors, and when the autumn wind blows, the whole garden is the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Lu Nianjin looked at this scene and unconsciously remembered Concubine Jing again.
"How is Xiao Ze doing?" She held Xiao Xun's hand, raised her head and asked Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun's eyebrows deepened a little, "There is no hope of revenge, he thinks of Meng Qingting again, he is digging three feet into the ground to find someone these days?" ”
"Oh, does the prince know where Meng Qingting is now?"
"Are you sure you want to know?"
"Where?"
"Green Grange."
Hearing these four words, Lu Nianjin swallowed his breath, bent down and coughed violently, it turned out to be Cui Grange? It is the most pickled place in the capital, in the ordinary brothels and green buildings, the girl with the red card at least has the right to choose guests and refuse to pick up customers.
But then again, this is also a mistake, one report and one report.
At the beginning, Meng Qingting wanted to send the innocent Meng Qingling to the Cui Grange, and Meng Qingling was saved. Now by coincidence, it was Meng Qingling who sent her to Huicui Grange.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Xun saw that Lu Nianjin was coughing badly, and raised his hand to help her breathe.
Lu Nianjin stood up straight and waved his hand, "I'm fine." It's just that I didn't expect that Meng Qingting would end up like this when he was reborn for a lifetime. ”
"It's doomed!" Xiao Xun said coldly, "God let her live a new life, because he wanted her to change her mind and accumulate virtue and goodness, but she never seemed to pay attention to this, but instead she was arrogant and arrogant, acting recklessly, and making her path narrower and narrower, and more and more desperate." ”
"I'm afraid she thinks she got the protagonist script......" Lu Nianjin complained silently in his heart.
Then, with a turn of thought, he looked at Xiao Xun's side face, and asked again, "Prince, what if...... I mean, if Meng Qingting is really bent on goodness after being reborn, will you-"
"No!" Xiao Xun didn't wait for her to finish, he interrupted her without hesitation, approached her, stared into her eyes, and said, "My marriage line is tied to Jin'er's body, as for others, whether they are good or evil, they have nothing to do with me." ”
"Others can't get into my heart, and Jin'er, you can't escape."
Lu Nianjin: "......"
She looked at Xiao Xun in a daze, and a touch of embarrassment crossed her heart, okay, she was thinking too much...... She also thought that if Meng Qingting was bent on goodness, he would let her go.
"Let's go back!" The wind in late autumn was getting stronger and stronger, and Xiao Xun was worried that Lu Nianjin would catch a cold, so he led her back.
Lu Nianjin's warm hand was tightly held by his cold palm, and he only felt sweet and heavy.
Chengguo Mansion.
Lu Nianyun thought about it in the room for three whole days, and finally on the third night, he put on his cloak and went to Lu Nianshi's courtyard.
Lu Nianshi had already guessed that Lu Nianyun would come over at this point, yes, as soon as Lu Nianyun entered her yard, she was invited in by the maidservant who was guarding the door.
"Second sister," Lu Nianyun stepped forward and saluted Lu Nianshi.
Lu Nianshi smiled arrogantly, swept the crescent stool in front of her, and said, "Sit down." ”
Lu Nianyun sat down stiffly, Lu Nianshi glanced at his personal maid, and the maid understood, and immediately found an excuse to take the two second-class maidservants out.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Lu Nianjin opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"I've got some eyebrows!" Lu Nianyun said, taking out a piece of rice paper from her sleeve, and on the paper was the plan written by her.
Lu Nianshi read it hungrily, and after reading it, she clapped her hands and smiled, "Wonderful, wonderful, my sister really never let me down." ”
"Since my sister has read it, let's burn this letter, after all, this is my own handwriting." Lu Nianyun only made a promise.
When Lu Nianshi heard this, she just glanced at her indifferently, "Don't worry, I still have to act according to this plan, and it's not too late to burn it when everything is done." ”
"But......" Lu Nianyun wanted to say something more, looking like he was about to cry.
Lu Nianshi glanced at her and said unceremoniously, "Okay, you go back, I'm going to sleep!" ”
"Second sister!"
"If you don't leave, if you don't leave, I'll let people drive you out?" Lu Nianshi threatened.
Lu Nianyun had no choice but to get up from the crescent stool and walk out step by step.
Three days later, it was Lu Jiayi's birthday.
Because she was born in Lingyun Temple, every year on this day, she has to go to Lingyun Temple to make vows and stay for a few days.
This time, as in previous years, early in the morning, the old lady held a small family banquet for Lu Jiayi, and instructed Lu Nianshi and Lu Nianyun and the eldest young master of the long room to accompany Lu Jiayi out of the city to Lingyun Temple to repay her vows.
Lingyun Temple.
Lu Jiayi and his party arrived near noon.
The host also knew the customs of the Chengguo Mansion, so he led people to greet him at the gate of the mountain early, and led Lu Jiayi and his party all the way to the back Zen courtyard.
As before, Lu Jiayi lived in a main room alone, while Lu Nianshi and Lu Nianyun lived in separate rooms in the east and west wings.
They packed their luggage, washed up briefly, and went to the Mahavira Hall to pay their vows.
By the time the vow was repaid, it was already a little dizzy.
The three of them fell asleep as soon as they returned.
This was the case for two days in a row, and by the third day, the guards who came with them had all taken off their guards, and even Young Master Lu was no longer patrolling carefully.
It was also on this day that Lu Jiayi found a piece of paper in the Buddhist scriptures she copied, which said that she was invited to talk in a small thatched hut halfway up the mountainside.
Lu Jiayi looked at this piece of paper, and the whole person was very happy.
At that moment, without saying a word, he tried his best to send out the maids around him, and secretly left the Zen courtyard, stepping on the fallen leaves and dead branches from the back mountain path to the halfway up the mountain......
When she arrived, what was waiting for her in the small hut was not the "inquiry" she imagined, but seven or eight beggars and vagabonds......
Later, Lu Jiayi was rescued by Xiao Ze who went up the mountain to visit "Concubine Jing", Xiao Ze's temperament changed greatly, and he didn't mean to cover her up, so he threw her directly into the carriage and sent her back to the Chengguo Mansion.
The scene of the people of the Chengguo Mansion picking up people from the door was seen by many passers-by, and within half a day, Lu Jiayi, the aunt and grandmother of the Chengguo Mansion, lost her reputation, and the news of being abused by beggars spread all over the capital.
When the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion heard the news, her angry facial muscles kept twitching, her eyes were dark, she pinched the handrail hard, and asked the people below, "What about Lu Nianshi and Lu Nianyun, those two little things?" ”
The maid faced the old lady's anger and trembled and said, "Back to the old lady, the second and third ladies are still in Lingyun Temple." ”
"Go and bring them back to me!" The old lady roared angrily.
The maidservant took the order and hurriedly retreated.
Two hours later, at dinner, Lu Nianshi and Lu Nianyun were taken back to the Chengguo Mansion.
They didn't even return to their own courtyard, so they were taken to the old lady's courtyard.
Lu Jiayi never woke up, and the old lady couldn't see her daughter's miserable appearance at all, so she kept sitting in the warm pavilion waiting for Lu Nianshi and Lu Nianyun.
Lu Nianshi and Lu Nianyun were worried all the way, and when they entered the warm pavilion, before they could speak, they heard a reprimand that seemed to be quenched with venom and ice, "Kneel down for me!" ”
The two of them only felt their hearts tremble, and at the same time, as soon as their knees weakened, they knelt down firmly towards the old lady.
"Do you two know about Jiayi?" The old lady gritted her teeth and looked at the two of them eagerly and asked.
Lu Nianshi trembled and didn't dare to look up.
Lu Nianyun was timid, and he didn't dare to answer.
The old lady looked at the two of them like this, and she was angry, she slapped the table vigorously and looked at Mama Kang, "Please family law, call me!" ”
"Grandmother!" As soon as she heard that she was going to ask for family law, Lu Nianshi couldn't help it anymore, raised her head and said, "Why did my grandmother beat me and my third sister, what did my third sister and I do wrong?" ”
The old lady looked at Lu Nianshi and sneered, "I asked you to accompany your Aunt Jiayi to repay your vows, if you haven't taken good care of her, you should be beaten!" ”
When her words fell, Mama Kang had already invited the family law out, and was holding on to the bamboo strip to hit Lu Nianshi, only to hear a "and slow", followed by Xiao Shi walked in from the outside, she stepped forward and protected Lu Nianshi into her arms, raised her head, looked at the old lady angrily and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that my sister-in-law has defiled a group of homeless people, and you are in a bad mood, but what does this have to do with Shi'er, she is still just a child, if you want to take care of Jiayi's sister-in-law to take care of Shi'er, when will it be Shi'er's turn to take care of Jiayi?" Mother, you have to be reasonable! ”
"What if I don't want to be reasonable?" The old lady blushed and glared at Xiao Shi and asked.
Xiao Shi stiffened his neck and smiled mockingly, "My sister-in-law has such a thing now, whether she marries or not, I think she will have to rely on her mother's family in the future." "The implication is that old lady, you are old, even if you are in a hurry to stand up for your daughter, you can be out for a few years, and when you enter the coffin, Lu Jiayi is not going to fall into my hands? In the end, pinching and rounding is not up to me.
The old lady listened to Xiao's words, her face became even more pale, she gasped heavily, pointed to her nose and said, "You, you ......"
