Chapter 5 Invitation
On this day, the weather was clear and the spring was beautiful, and Ah Chun took Su Juan to weed and water in the front yard garden. Not long after, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the courtyard wall.
"It's been three days, and I still don't see people alive or dead, and I don't see the corpses, are the yacha in Dali Temple all eating dry rice? I'm so angry, master! ”
It was Lu Yuan's voice.
Su Wan slowly moved to the wall, listening to the sound of speech getting closer and closer.
"Master, you dissipate your anger, don't be angry." It was Jiqing who persuaded on the side.
Lu Yuan was angry, "Dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas, you will say this." Get out, don't be an eyesore in front of you. ”
The footsteps came closer, and Su Wan walked away quietly.
With a "bang", the courtyard door was kicked open.
"I'm back!" Ah Chun came over and saluted Lu Yuan. "Well," Lu Yuan looked over and saw Ling Suwan standing behind Ah Chun, wearing an ill-fitting maid suit, black and thin, and weak, and said angrily: "When did there be more people in the courtyard, who is this?" ”
Ji Qing laughed dryly, "Master, this is the little flower who was hit by our carriage a few days ago, and you took her back to the house for treatment." ”
"Ahh Lu Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at her carefully, "Xiao Yuhua turned out to be a woman?" I really didn't see it. ”
"Not really!" Jiqing laughed and echoed beside him.
It's not a good feeling to be judged by someone. But since she chose to approach Lu Yuan in such a way, Ling Suwan knew that her daughter couldn't hide it.
Putting back a little discomfort in her heart, she stepped forward to salute Lu Yuan, "The grass people have seen Little Grandpa Lu, thank you for the kindness of Little Grandpa for his treatment." ”
"Xie doesn't have to," Lu Yuan no longer looked at her, but turned to Jiqing, "Didn't I say that I would let him get out of bed when I could get out of bed, what are you going to do?" ”
Jiqing said with a bitter face: "Master, hasn't the little one been following you outside to find Miss Cui in the past two days, and hasn't returned to the house?" But that day, I told Ah Chun about it,"
He turned to ask Ah Chun, "Ah Chun, why are you still letting him be in the mansion?" ”
Ah Chun's eyes widened and he defended: "Then her hand is still broken, she can't eat or sleep every day, how pitiful, how can she drive people away!" ”
Ling Suwan's heart was moved. In the past few days in the Guogong Mansion, she heard many people call Ah Chun "stupid girl", but it is this kind of stupidity that allows her to keep a simple and kind heart, how commendable.
But how could a pampered son like Lu Yuan have such compassion as Ah Chun?
Sure enough, Su Juan was not surprised to hear Lu Yuan say: "What's the matter, then I still have to offer her up and find someone to serve her, or what?" If it weren't for this little caller, would the carriage hit him? I haven't blamed him for making a mistake! ”
The disappearance of Huancui, the clues to the investigation of the case were broken, Lu Yuan was already in a hurry, and when he saw Ling Suwan at this moment, he remembered the inexplicable horse incident that day, and naturally he didn't have a good temper.
Ling Suwan gritted her teeth, took a step forward, knelt down at Lu Yuan, and said, "Little grandfather." The grass people are Huai'an people, because of the famine in their hometown for many years, a few months ago their parents and brothers died of poverty and disease, leaving only the grass people alone, helpless to go to Beijing to find relatives. Who knew that the sea of people in Beijing was vast, and the grass people had not been able to find their relatives, so they had to beg and struggle to survive. I have heard that the Dingguo Mansion is loyal, brave and kind, and the subordinates are generous and benevolent, and the grass people are courageous, and they beg the little grandfather to take them in. The grass people will be loyal to the little grandfather and do their best. ”
Just because he didn't throw his unconscious self on the road that day and ignore it, Ling Suwan decided to take a gamble. Gambling that Lu Yuan, a young grandfather who is arrogant and unruly and unruly, still has a bit of benevolence and righteousness in his heart.
What the? Lu Yuan felt that this little flower was simply ashamed, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.
He sneered and said disdainfully, "Oh? Loyal and do your best? What is the use of my loyalty, and what power do you have to be a little flower? There are no idlers around the master. ”
Su Juan straightened up slightly and replied, "Caomin's father was a private school teacher before his death, and Caomin studied with him for a few years, and he can read and write. ”
"Literate and hyphenated attendants, there are many in the Guogong Mansion, why do you have to look for you, a thin and ugly little flower." Lu Yuan scoffed.
"That's it, that's it!" Ji Qingsheng was afraid that he couldn't read big characters and would be disgusted by Lu Yuan, so he hurriedly helped, looking forward to driving Su Juan away as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
"Caomin once studied under the Dingxing Lianxi monks, and also studied the art of war and strategy." Ling Suwan had no way out, so she could only grit her teeth and insist.
A little flower who doesn't look amazing can actually know the art of war? Who are you fooling!
Lu Yuan said impatiently: "So what, you don't need to lead troops to fight." Or you can simply go to the north to find my eldest brother, maybe he will be interested in you. Okay, I'm very busy, I don't have that time to talk nonsense with you. Jiqing, give her some silver, and let her go back and forth from where. ”
After speaking, Lu Yuan flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
"The grass people can help the little grandfather find Miss Huicui."
Seeing that Lu Yuan left without hesitation, Ling Suwan stood up and shouted at his back.
Lu Yuan stopped. He turned slowly, "What did you say?" ”
Ling Suwan walked up to Lu Yuan step by step and looked up at him steadily.
The man in front of him was a head taller than himself. Clear and handsome as pine, abundant as jade. Among the three sons of the Dingguo Mansion, they all say that the appearance of the little grandfather Lu Yuan is the most outstanding, and the current saint once praised him as "if you talk about the prosperity of abundance, it should be the Lu family Xiaolang", which seems to be not a false praise.
At this moment, he stared at Ling Suwan with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice, giving people an invisible pressure.
Su Juan took a breath, looked at Shang Lu Yuan's gaze, and said word by word: "Caomin, you can help the little grandfather find Miss Huicui, and you can also help the little grandfather solve the case as soon as possible." ”
It was nearly dusk, the sun was low, the river was flowing endlessly, and the banks were lush with green trees.
Ling Suwan lay quietly in the mud on the bank of the river, slowly opening her eyes.
She's alive.
Licking her chapped lips, she crawled to the river with difficulty and took a few sips of water.
The cool water went down her throat and made her feel better. I tried to move, but my whole body fell apart, and my heart hurt.
She was lying on her back, and the sunset was like fire, the wind and clouds, quiet and beautiful like a picture.
If the eldest brother is here, it will surely arouse his interest in painting.
However, the talented eldest brother, the eldest brother of the bright moon and the breeze, died tragically under the steel knife of the man in black on that rainy night with swords and blood.
There is also a father who is honest and upright, and a mother who is knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and loving, all of whom left him overnight.
The Ling family, only she is left.
To live is your mission in the future.
No matter how much it hurts, as long as you still have a breath, you have to get up.
She had more important things to do.
