"You are Little Lady Wen, Mama, watch and sit." Lu Xingwan put down the book and said with a smile on his face: "My brother told me that he wanted to find someone to protect me, but I think the little lady is not much older than me, can she really protect me?" ”

Wen Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "The eldest girl is serious, the responsibility of protection is mainly on the escort team, and I am just a hand-in-hand attendant, just pull the handle in an emergency." ”

"Oh, that's right." Maybe Wen Shu was originally positioned too high, but when he suddenly heard this answer, Lu Xingwan felt a little lost in his heart.

At this time, Mama Chen moved a small round stool over, put it at Wen Shu's feet, and said slightly apologetically: "It's not good to say it clearly, wronged the little lady." ”

Is this explaining to her?

Wen Shu looked at her straight, but Mama Chen didn't continue to explain, but poured a cup of tea for Lu Xingwan and said, "The little lady will understand in the future." “

Wen Shu didn't ask much, listening to this, he was afraid that the family affairs of the Hou Mansion were involved, and she was a foreign girl, so it was better to be nosy.

Her silence was full of silence, Lu Xingwan didn't speak, Wen Shu didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Mama Chen looked at it, and said without words: "I just saw Lumei and Hongxin picking flowers in the yard, but what new ideas does the girl have?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xing became interested and said with a smile: "When I was a year ago, I saw a recipe in a miscellaneous book, saying that it was a newly opened plum blossom, steamed and then stored in the ground with lard for storage, and when the snow melted in the coming year, it was taken out and mashed, and added to the rouge fat, so I wanted to try it." ”

Wen Shu usually doesn't like to tinker with these, but he can't help but have a handkerchief who loves to fiddle with this, and often pulls her to discuss it together, and some things are poured into it under the influence of his ears and eyes, so he answered: "In fact, not only plum blossoms, but other seasonal flowers, can also be sealed in this way, but some summer flowers, in order to avoid rotting in the hot weather, you still have to dry them first, and it is better to dry them until they are dry, and then seal them." ”

Lu Xingwan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I see, I said that the lotus petals that I saved according to this method in summer did not rot and turn black in a few days, and it turned out to be unincreased and dried. ”

Wen Shu hurriedly shook his head: "The big girl misunderstood, I don't usually like to fiddle with these, what I just said was told to me by my handkerchief, she loves this, and she will also make her own fat powder cream on weekdays, I have listened to it a lot, I know a little bit, as for whether it is true or false, I have not tried it myself, if the big girl is interested, you can give it a try." “

Lu Xingwan nodded, and asked again: "I heard my brother say that the little lady Wen is a heroine among women, I don't know what she does at home on weekdays?" ”

A heroine among women?

These words sound like a compliment, but for some reason, when it comes out of that Lu Shaoqing's mouth, no matter how you listen to it, you feel that there is a sense of irony in it.

Wen Shu smiled: "The heroine of the female middle school can't be a hero, but her strength is greater than that of ordinary people, she just reads books on weekdays, occasionally tinkers with some food, and then makes some food to sell when she has time, and earns two fat powder money." ”

"The little lady has also studied, so have you read the Book of Poetry?" Lu Xingwan was a little surprised, because looking at Wen Shu's dress, it didn't look like he could afford to read.

"I've only read it for a year, and I know a few words roughly, but I haven't read the Book of Poetry yet."

Lu Xingwan nodded, she said, but it's good to be able to read and write, and she can go to a private school to study, and she can also meet many classmates, unlike her who can only invite her husband to study at home, which is very boring.

"What does that little lady like to eat at home on weekdays?"

"It's usually taught in the middle of the school, and while I still have an impression, I make it myself a few times, and occasionally I create some dishes on a whim.........."

The two talked for nearly half an hour, most of the time Lu Xingwan asked questions, Wen Shu answered, although there were occasional cold scenes, but under the gags of Mama Chen and the two girls, it passed quickly.

In general, although this Lu girl is delicate and sensitive, she is not a troublemaker, and she is generally kind.

Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and went out with Mama Chen, but as soon as he walked out of Wenjing Courtyard, he saw a group of people coming over.

The first one was a noble lady in her early thirties, followed by a number of maids-in-law, who was the current Hou wife Guan of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Her eyes fell on Wen Shu, looked up and down, and asked Mama Chen: "I heard that the eldest girl has a cold at night, I don't know if she is better now, do you want to call a doctor to take a look?" “

Caught a cold at night, and now come to ask? Wen Shu looked at the woman strangely.

Mama Chen, who was on the side, bowed her head and said, "Mrs. Lao is worried, it's no big deal, I poured ginger soup early in the morning, and now it's much better." ”

"That's good, the eldest girl has been weak and sick since she was a child, you people who serve you closely can be careful, if you have a headache and brain fever, just report it, don't be too troublesome to hide it, you know?"

"Yes, don't worry, ma'am."

Seeing that Mama Chen lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, Guan nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wen Shu, and said, "This girl is from that courtyard, why do you look a little blind?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, this girl is not from the house, but from a good family outside."

"A good family out there?" Guan frowned: "Then why did you come to our house?" ”

Mama Chen explained: "It was the eldest son who recruited her, saying that the eldest girl has been in a depressed mood recently, and this little lady can speak well and is very good at explaining people, so she was recruited to come in and talk to the girl." ”

The mood is depressed, isn't it for the marriage of Anping Bofu?

Guan sneered in his heart, saying that Lu Xingwan and the third son of Anping Bo Mansion were making a baby kiss, and it stands to reason that after Lu Xingwan and Lu, this marriage should be put on the agenda.

But now that girl has been around for a year, there is no movement in Anpingbo's Mansion, neither Ming sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, nor did she privately send someone to discuss marriage, it seems that there is no such thing at all, the dead girl is sensitive and suspicious, can she not be depressed.

But also blame herself, it's strange that someone can like her sick all day long, Anping Bofu is probably planning to drag out the marriage, with her body, she is already weak and sick, if she becomes ill again, I'm afraid she will have to die in less than two years, and then this family affair will naturally be canceled.

She gloated in her heart, but her face was gentle, and she was worried: "Why is she in a bad mood again, this girl is too, she loves to drill the horns of the bull too much, how can the body eat like this, let's go, since this girl can make the evening happy, I simply let the eldest prince buy her, the left is only a few dozen taels of silver, as long as the evening girl can get better, I can sell this silver." “

What the? Prostitution!

Wen Shu looked at the woman with beaded hair in a daze, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, when did she say that she was going to sell herself.

It's just that soon, she suppressed this emotion again, Quan Dang didn't hear it, she is a good family, whether she sells her body or not, her father has the final say, but the lady in front of her has the final say.

And this Hou Mansion is not very peaceful at first glance, although the Mrs. Hou in front of her, although she looks kind and caring on her face, but in fact, she can't see a trace of care in her actions.

Thinking back to the words I heard in the Imperial History Mansion, most of the people in front of me are the step-room lady, I heard that it was the concubine who was corrected, and the second son of the biological son was only half a year younger than Lu Shaoqing, and he served as the temple master in Dali Temple.
