Chapter 244: Everyone Knows
Lu Guanlan was stunned for a long time before he "fluttered" and smiled.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Guanlan took Chuyu Ali and Xiaoju out of the house.
Lu Bingyan still hasn't returned home today, so Lu Guanlan asked Steward Zhao to report to him before leaving.
After leaving the house gate and getting into the carriage, the group went to the tea garden.
There are not many people listening to the play at night, and there are people sitting in twos and threes in the garden.
Lu Guanlan took the three of them to the stands on the second floor, and as soon as she sat down, she saw a group of people coming up from the staircase, and they also sat down not far behind her.
"Have you heard, the lone seedling of the Li Guogong Mansion is gone."
"Then how can you not hear about it, this General Li is also one of our top figures, and our god of war, and now he has gone like this for some reason, which is really embarrassing."
"It's not, this Li Guogong guards the border, General Li is also a brave and warlike general, and the Li family also has a queen's mother, now it's good, once this General Li dies, I'm afraid that there will be no successor to the Guogong Mansion."
The chatter of the two behind him was not loud, but Lu Guanlan here heard it clearly.
Ah Li and Chu Yu were both stunned.
Only then did I suddenly understand why Lu Guanlan was crying last night.
But when the two looked at Lu Guanlan one after another, they saw that she was still calm, as if a cry last night was just an illusion.
Xiao Ju didn't think too much about it, maybe she slept too hard last night, she didn't hear her own young lady's cry, and she didn't hear anyone behind her talking about Li Duan's death, she just watched the play on stage seriously.
I just wanted to go back and talk about the fun in the play, but when I saw Ah Li and Chu Yu both looking at their own young lady, and their own young lady looking at the stage, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere was strange and a little strange.
"Miss, it seems that our tea and snacks haven't been delivered to us yet, why don't you go and urge the slave?" Xiao Ju said.
Lu Guanlan glanced at Xiaoju, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and nodded.
So, Xiaoju immediately got up and went downstairs to urge refreshments.
At this time, Chu Yu also got up and bowed slightly towards Lu Guanlan, "Miss, it's convenient for the slave to go." ”
Lu Guanlan looked at Chu Yu again and nodded.
Then, he looked at Ah Li, "You want to go too?" ”
Ah Li came back to her senses from the conversation of the person behind her, and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, the slave maid will not go, the slave maid will stay by the young lady's side." ”
As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously wanted to glance back.
Lu Guanlan looked at Ah Li's appearance, but his heart was suddenly sour.
It's obviously just her own business, but even these two girls are also implicated by her, she feels uncomfortable, how good can the two girls be.
After a while, Chu Yu and Xiao Ju came back one after another.
Xiao Ju already had a tea and fruit plate in her hand, and when she got to Lu Guanlan, she put it down and said with a smile: "I gave us an extra plate of shortbread today." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of sweet and fresh crisp on the plate and handed it to Lu Guanlan.
Lu Guanlan smiled, but shook his head, "You eat first," he said, turning his head to glance at Ah Li and Chu Yu.
But seeing that Chu Yu's gaze seemed to fall on the table behind him at this time, he couldn't help but follow his gaze, and saw that the tea garden maid also served refreshments to the table behind him.
At this moment, the person at the table was smiling and bringing tea to his mouth.
Lu Guanlan realized that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to stop it.
But before he could speak, the pedestrian's tea was already in his stomach.
Chu Yu turned his head with satisfaction while smiling at this time, and happened to bump into Lu Guanlan's eyes looking at him.
Immediately said: "A little laxative, just two more trips to the toilet, no one dies." ”
Lu Guanlan frowned and said, "You have no grudges with us, why do you do such a thing?" ”
Chu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and he was speechless for a moment.
Yes, she has no grudge against them, why should she use this method to punish others.
Maybe it was just that he noticed Lu Guanlan's slightly trembling hand when he heard those words, or maybe he happened to accidentally catch a glimpse of a crystal in the corner of her eye.
Even she didn't understand when she really cared about the "master" in her name.
Obviously she is Dayu's person, obviously she is from Dayu Palace, obviously she has also risked the shipwreck, and came all the way to Dacheng.
She should have worked hard to track down the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest grandson, but she became Miss Lu's guard for no reason.
That's it, she fell step by step to the point where she was willing.
What's wrong with her?
Ah Li heard the conversation between the two on the side, but she didn't understand what the young lady was talking about with Chu Yu.
At this time, I heard an "oops" sound from the table behind me.
Immediately afterwards, I saw one by one on the table, some holding their stomachs; Some ran downstairs with their butts covered.
Chu Yu looked back, turned his head to look at Lu Guanlan again, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
Lu Guanlan was speechless, and immediately turned around and stopped looking at her, just staring at the stage, as if he really took the play seriously.
Xiao Ju saw that everyone didn't need tea and snacks, so she was embarrassed to use it first, so she had to put back the sweet and fresh crisp she had just picked up.
Although Lu Guanlan's eyes fell on the stage, he still thought about the words he had just heard.
Li Duan's death has now spread all over Kyoto?
In her opinion, although Li Duan's death was strange, if this was the case, the emperor should not let the news spread to everyone.
Otherwise, if the enemy country wants to raise troops at this time, how can a very old Li Guogong, who is far away in the border area, be able to defend it.
Although there is no shortage of brave generals in Dacheng, in the end, Li Duan is still more famous.
Li Guogong also relied on the accumulated achievements made in the early years that he sat on the frontier for several years, otherwise, where would the world be peaceful.
If the news of Li Duan's death spreads, other countries will definitely be like a loose horse, and they will inevitably take advantage of this opportunity to plan to raise troops.
Even if you can't destroy Dacheng, you can take this opportunity to hurt Dacheng's vitality.
This is a good thing for Dacheng to cede the land and let the city, she doesn't believe those people will let it go.
It was precisely because of this that she wondered how the news could spread so quickly.
But overnight, it was like a wind sweeping the sky, to the point where everyone knew about it.
Could it be that someone is deliberately spreading it?
But why, and for what purpose?
The more Lu Guanlan thought about it, the more he felt that he was in a boring mood, and he no longer had the intention of watching a play, so he got up and said, "There are many things in the night market, so let's go shopping on the street." ”
Hearing this, Ah Li immediately picked up the big hat that was resting on the chair next to her and put it on Lu Guanlan, "Miss wants to go shopping, let's go shopping." ”
Chu Yu also nodded in agreement, "It is said that the Kyoto Night Market is very beautiful, I have been here for so long, and I have indeed never visited it properly, and today can be regarded as a stain of your light, Miss." ”
Only Xiao Ju, with a depressed face, her eyes fell on a few plates of snacks that had not been touched.
Lu Guanlan noticed Xiao Ju's eyes, and called the little maid with a smile and ordered, "Fill me with all the snacks on the table." ”
The little guy immediately nodded and responded with a bow.
Xiao Ju looked at Lu Guanlan with a smile, "It's still Miss who knows not to waste food." ”
Saying that, hehe smiled.
After the little maid took the oil paper bag and packed all the snacks on the table, Xiaoju looked at Lu Guanlan again, until Lu Guanlan nodded, and then he happily left the tea garden with the dim sum behind him.
There are a lot of dim sum and groceries sold in the night market, and when you walk all the way from the tea plantation, you can see the vendors on both sides shouting and shouting.
"Miss, you see this lantern is good," At this time, Ah Li saw a small stall not far away selling lanterns, so she immediately pulled Lu Guanlan to take a look.
Lu Guanlan looked over and saw that the stall was full of lanterns.
The lanterns were also lit with candles, which were several times brighter than the stalls next to them, which was really different.
Seeing a lotus lantern hanging on the top, Lu Guanlan's eyes flashed.
"It's really beautiful, why don't we go buy one too?" Chu Yu saw Lu Guanlan's eyes, and a trace of surprise did flash in his eyes, so he also followed.
Xiao Ju was holding a big bag of snacks and following behind while eating, hearing this, she also looked forward, and when she saw that the stall was exceptionally bright, she immediately exclaimed: "It's so beautiful," and then looked at Lu Guanlan, her eyes full of hope, "Miss, let's go buy one." ”
Ah Li saw Xiaoju's appearance on the side, and could only shake her head helplessly.
Today, she and Chu Yu are to accompany Miss out to relax, but Xiaoju, this girl is sincere, she is indeed out to play, where can she control what Miss is feeling.
Lu Guanlan saw that Xiao Ju was looking at him with an innocent face, he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Okay, according to you." ”
When the group arrived at the lantern stall, the boss who was still sitting on the lamp stand only glanced up, and said, "Miss, take a look at it, and say which one is the same as the smallest." ”
After that, he buried his head again and went to make up the shelves.
Lu Guanlan didn't see any other lights, raised his finger and pointed to the lotus lamp hanging on the boss's head, and said, "That's it." ”
When the boss heard this, he raised his head again, looked in the direction of Lu Guanlan's finger, and saw that it was the lamp above his head, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Miss, although this lantern has a blessing together, but this lotus lantern ······ It's for the dead, you're ······" The boss saw that Lu Guanlan was dressed well, and she looked like a young lady from a big family.
Dacheng's folk customs are not restricted, and there are also things like this for a big lady to go shopping.
It's just that if someone in the family dies, there is no way for an eldest lady to come out and buy lotus lanterns in person.
I can't help but feel strange.
Ah Li and Xiao Jue didn't expect that their own young lady would buy this lamp, so they were stunned and didn't speak.
Chu Yu as a Dayu person, but I don't understand Dacheng's customs, but when I saw the boss with an inquiring look, I was a little impatient, and said: "Buy something from you, do you want to get to the bottom of it?" ”
The boss saw that the woman in a strong suit next to him looked a little embarrassed, and it was different from the other brother and maid beside the veiled woman, so he immediately smiled and said: "No, no, no, miss, since you like it, the small one is taken off for you." ”
As he spoke, he put down the bamboo strip in his hand and got up to fetch the lotus lantern hanging on it.
I got the lotus lantern, paid the silver, and then left.
"Miss, are we going home?" Ah Li asked at this time.
Lu Guanlan was carrying a lamp in his hand, but he smiled suddenly, "Go to Cuixin Lake." ”
