Chapter 59: Each Has a Purpose
Jiangbei City Lufu.
The white jasmine in the corner of Mrs. Lu's courtyard is blooming, and the fragrance wafts into the house with the wind from time to time.
A persimmon tree in the courtyard has turned some yellow in the persimmon green that bears at the moment, which is particularly conspicuous among other trees.
Yesterday afternoon, Lu Yuanqing climbed to the tree and picked a half-yellow persimmon, and then took a bite on the tree.
I didn't expect that my tongue would be astringent after just one bite, and I couldn't bite down on the second bite.
Throughout the afternoon yesterday, her tongue and mouth were uncomfortable.
Lu Yuanqing felt that she could remember this for a lifetime.
Yesterday this incident made her the laughing stock of the whole family, and the old lady said to her as soon as she thought about it: "Is it still astringent? Makes your mouth hungry! ”
Today.
After breakfast, Mrs. Lu, her granddaughter Lu Yuanqing and her granddaughter He Ying sat in the room chatting.
Xin'er and Sheng'er were beating her back on the side.
The old lady took a sip of yesterday's sheng'er's newly brewed grapefruit tea and said, "This tea is delicious, come, you two taste it quickly." ”
There were three cups of grapefruit tea on the table, one was the old lady's, and the other two were Lu Yuanqing and He Ying's.
Lu Yuanqing picked up the celadon tea jar in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Wow, it's really delicious, Sheng'er is so powerful!" ”
He Ying also took a sip of the celadon tea pot in front of her, and whispered, "It really tastes excellent." ”
Lu Yuanqing's movements and tone are completely different from He Ying's movements and tone.
Lu Yuanqing's every move was completely natural, regardless of the image, but He Ying was always upright, and every move had to be elegant and decent.
The old lady glanced at Lu Yuanqing, then at He Ying, and said, "Yuanqing, you are with your cousin every day, why don't you know how to learn a little about her words and deeds?" ”
Lu Yuanqing also whispered at this time: "Grandmother, this grapefruit tea, it's really delicious, can I have another cup?" ”
As he spoke, he laughed first.
The old lady said, "Don't talk like that." ”
Lu Yuanqing smiled: "Why, grandmother, didn't you say that I should learn from her, I did, how can I not learn it?" Then I have to follow her every day and learn from her. ”
He Ying knew that Lu Yuanqing was making fun of herself, and said, "You should go to the tree every day to pick persimmons and eat them." Follow me how to pick persimmons? ”
The old lady suddenly sighed at this time and said, "I don't know how Shikang is, whether the arrow wound is better, and I have been gone for so many days." ”
He Ying said: "Grandmother, why don't I go to the Wangshan Residence to see him, I went to the Wangshan Residence once ten years ago, and I haven't been there so far." It's a little boring to stay in this Jiangbei City, go out for a walk, and see if my cousin is okay by the way. ”
Lu Yuanqing glanced at her, and then looked at the old lady: "Grandmother, I'm going too, I was still young when I went last time, and now I don't remember what it was like there!" ”
She knew the purpose of He Ying's visit, she must have thought that Lu Mansion didn't have much contact with her third brother on weekdays, and now she thought of a way to get along with her third brother every day, so she wanted to go to Wangshan Residence.
But Lu Yuanqing's purpose of wanting to go was that she knew that Dr. Kong had also gone, and now that He Ying was going again, she wanted to see the triangular drama between these two men and one woman.
That's a little too exciting.
How could she miss this kind of good show that she couldn't wait for for 10,000 years?
And, for some reason, she desperately wanted to see how He Ying made a fool of herself. She couldn't know the temperament of her third brother Lu Shikang better. If He Ying came to the Lu Mansion for a month and didn't take him, she would never want to take him down for the rest of her life.
Because he couldn't get it for a month, it meant that she wasn't the dish he wanted at all.
And He Ying has lived here intermittently for a few years, and she still hasn't given up, so she can only make a fool of herself when she goes there.
Knowing that He Ying will inevitably make a fool of herself, but if she can't see the ugliness she makes, it will be a big loss.
So, no matter what, she has to go with He Ying.
When Lu Yuanqing and He Ying were both thinking about the little Jiujiu in their hearts, they heard the old lady say, "You two girls, how can you go far away?" ”
Lu Yuanqing said: "Grandmother, isn't it okay for us to disguise ourselves as men along the way." If my grandmother is worried about us, we can take Hu Sanhu Si with us. ”
Hu San and Hu Si are two brothers, and they entered the Lu Mansion at the same time two years ago to work as a family. In addition to Zhou Da Wednesday, Hu San and Hu Si, there is another pair of brothers, Liu Er and Liu Wu.
He Ying also hurriedly persuaded the old lady with Lu Yuanqing: "Yes, grandmother, don't worry about us." It's been too long since I've been out of Jiangbei City, and I'm going to get sick in the city. ”
The old lady said, "Okay, okay, you can go." Be sure to dress up as a man, and then bring Hu San and Hu Si with you. Remember to be more thoughtful halfway. No matter who you meet, stay away. ”
"Got it, grandmother. I'll pack my bags and go now. Lu Yuanqing stood up as she spoke, she couldn't stay still for a moment.
"You're going today?" When the old lady saw that she was about to leave, she raised her head and glanced at her.
"Wait a few days, and my three brothers will come back from Wangshanju. So, we had to go earlier. ”
He Ying also said: "We set off today, and we will arrive tomorrow at the latest." ”
The old lady waved her hand at them: "Okay, you go and clean up, but Yuanqing, you must go to your parents to talk, it's useless for me to agree, I have to agree......"
"Grandmother, they are not at home, my father is in the yamen, such a trivial matter cannot disturb him, my mother went out early in the morning. When we leave, you can tell my parents ......" Lu Yuanqing actually didn't plan to tell her parents, it would not be so easy to persuade her parents to agree to her going out with He Ying.
"Then you go, be careful on the road."
The two cousins found Hu San, Hu Si and the groom and asked them to prepare the horses and sedan chairs for the trip, as well as their own clothes.
Then they went out of the old lady's yard at the same time, and each walked to their own yard, their yard was only separated by a wall, so they walked together until the gate of Lu Yuanqing's courtyard before they separated.
When they returned, they all borrowed men's clothes from their subordinates and put them on, washed off the fat powder, and then packed their luggage.
Because each has its own purpose, they all move quite quickly to clean up, and in about a quarter of an hour, both of them are packed up.
Hu Sanhu Si was in the old lady's courtyard, and he also packed his things early, went to the stable to lead the horse, and waited at the gate of the Lu Mansion early.
When she was about to leave, He Ying was in a sedan chair, and suddenly remembered that she had an important jewelry she didn't bring, that is, her green agate bracelet.
She doesn't wear it much on weekdays, because she's worried that she'll lose it somehow, after all, it's a valuable thing.
Green agate is rare because of its rare color and very small production.
This was given to her by her grandfather when her mother got married, and by her mother when she was fifteen years old and at her ceremony.
And the reason why she wears it now is because she believes that to see the most important people, you need the most beautiful things as a foil.
So as soon as I got on the sedan chair, I said "Wait" and got off the sedan chair and walked to the courtyard of Lufu.
Lu Yuanqing is an anxious person, and I don't know what He Ying forgot to bring back to get it.
But if she goes back to get it, she will go back and get it, even at this time, she didn't forget to maintain her elegant temperament, and walked forward slowly with Xiaolian steps, which almost made Lu Yuan angry.
If she hadn't thought that there would be a good show that she would not have seen in 10,000 years, she would have to get off the sedan car immediately!
The thought of her third brother being sandwiched between a man and a woman made it so much fun.
Watching her third brother suffer was what she was most happy with.
Thinking about it, she gloated.
The groom asked, "What are the four girls laughing at?" ”
"Didn't laugh at anything...... Ahem. ”
