Chapter 119: Phoenix Life
Sure enough, early the next morning, the two grandmothers came to say goodbye.
Unlike yesterday, today's Lu Guanlan got up early in the morning, prepared breakfast early, and waited in the courtyard.
"The two grandmothers may not have had breakfast yet, so it is better to eat some and then go back to the palace to resume their lives," Ah Li said to Lu Guanlan on the side, while rushing to the two grandmothers.
Mama Yue hurriedly said, "No need, no need, the eldest lady has a meal, how can we two slaves and maids be disturbed, don't bother more." โ
Lu Guanlan smiled, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked knowingly: "I just don't know, why did the grandmothers leave today?" Stay two more days? I still have a few rules to answer my questions with. โ
Mama Liang said with a smile: "Really, there was a word from the palace overnight, saying that our mother was unwell and was waiting for our slaves and maids to go back to serve." The slaves and maids are also really worried about the mother's body. โ
Lu Guanlan stood up and nodded at Ah Li with a smile.
Ah Li hurriedly handed over the prepared gold leaf.
"The two grandmothers have worked hard, these are the hearts of our young lady who have thanked the two of you in the past two days, please accept it," Ah Li stepped forward with a smile and divided the two bags of gold leaves into one bag for Mama Yue and Mama Liang.
Seeing this, the two grandmothers didn't shirk it, and simply accepted it.
I saw Mama Yue bowing slightly at Lu Guanlan, "Then thank you Miss." โ
Lu Guanlan nodded, turned his head and said to Xiao Ju: "I was grounded by my father, and I can't get out of this courtyard, so let Xiao Ju send the two grandmothers for me." โ
Mama Yue and Mama Liang looked at each other when they heard this, and they knew it in their hearts.
As soon as I sent Mama Yue and Mama Liang away, I heard a sigh from Ah Li.
Lu Guanlan turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" Feeling sorry for the silver again? โ
Ah Li pursed her lips and said, "It's not, I see that I haven't spent some silver taels for a long time, but today's gift is a lot of it." โ
Lu Guanlan smiled, "Don't worry, today's money is worth it." โ
Lu Jingzhu heard that the two grandmothers in the palace were gone, and he was immediately in a good mood.
"Is Lu Guanlan angry?" Lu Jingzhu hurriedly asked Ping'er.
Ping'er said: "This slave didn't know, but I just saw that the two grandmothers came out of the wing room early in the morning, went straight to the courtyard of the eldest lady, and came out of the courtyard after a short time, and then looked outside to prepare a carriage, and the two went out. โ
The corners of Lu Jingzhu's mouth hung a smile that could not be hidden.
Come to think of it, it was yesterday that I made this palace wait for a long time, which made the two old people in the palace feel resentful, so they left angrily.
"Then Miss, can we go and deliver snacks to the master today?" Ping'er asked.
Lu Jingzhu sat up from the bed, looked at the beautiful sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "Go, how not to go." โ
As long as her father has high hopes for her, she will have a bright future in the future.
At night, Lu Bingyan went to Nixuan Pavilion.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I heard the voice of Song Yuemei talking to her daughter.
"You've grown up, and you're almost at the age of marrying your family. But your eldest sister hasn't talked about marriage yet, so you can't get ahead of her, you know, there is a difference between concubines. Your father is now in the DPRK and China, and there will be no indispensable hard work in the future, you can be more compassionate, and you can't bother your father because of your own life's events. Our mother and daughter, as long as we have your father's care, when your father is busy, he will naturally think of you. โ
"Auntie, my daughter knows."
Hearing these words in Lu Bingyan's ears, it made him feel a little sad.
Speaking of which, Song Yuemei followed him at the beginning, first without a name and no share, and then entered the mansion as a concubine.
After the eldest lady passed away, he also had the idea of straightening Song Yuemei.
But at that time, because of selfishness, he gave up the idea of correcting Song Yuemei and married Wang Qin'er instead.
Now that I think about it, the end of next month will be the day of Lu Guanlan's peace.
It is also the day of the warp and bamboo.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the voice of a girl calling the master behind me.
Lu Bingyan frowned, and when he turned around, he heard the sound of conversation in the room disappear.
The door opened, and Song Yuemei was a little surprised when she saw Lu Bingyan, and said, "Oh, I didn't know that the master was coming today, and I didn't have anything to prepare for it." โ
As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at Lu Jingzhu.
Lu Jingzhu hurriedly stood up and saluted Lu Bingyan, "My daughter has seen her father. โ
Lu Bingyan nodded, his brows stretched a lot, and said to Lu Jingzhu: "You are so good to go back and rest," he said, remembering something again, and said: "Today's dim sum is also delicious, don't bother to do these in the future, and learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the courtyard." โ
When Lu Jingzhu heard this, the corners of his mouth lightly brought up a smile, and he bowed his head: "Yes, father." โ
Immediately, he turned and retreated.
As soon as Lu Jingzhu left, Song Yuemei asked the girl to prepare hot water, and soaked Lu Bingyan's feet while beating his back.
Lu Bingyan just soaked his feet, closed his eyes, and said, "For so many years, I have wronged your mother and daughter." โ
When Song Yuemei heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Lu Bingyan, her eyes were full of tenderness, "Where does the master say, the concubine and Jingzhu are by the master's side, they are all living a good life, what grievances are not wronged." โ
Lu Bingyan sighed and said, "Qi Ming's matter, I really can't do anything, but fortunately, Watson is a competitive person, and in the future, there will definitely be a promising career." โ
Song Yuemei smiled, buried her head and continued to beat her back.
"Speaking of which, she is also wronged by Jingzhu, she is the same age as Guanlan, and the ceremony of Guanlan at the end of next month is also our Jingzhu's ceremony, it stands to reason that it is time to consider marriage for her," Lu Bingyan said, opening his eyes.
Song Yuemei's hand paused.
I heard Lu Bingyan continue: "You also know that when Jingzhu was born, there was a monk who said that she was a phoenix. โ
Song Yuemei smiled slightly, "It's all the old monk talking nonsense, why should the old man take it seriously." โ
Lu Bingyan also smiled, "This is not nonsense, I inquired later, that monk is the Mikong mage who travels all over the world, and the mage asserts that it is extremely accurate, saying that we have a phoenix life through bamboo, and there must be one." โ
Song Yuemei smiled slightly and said, "What the master says, it's just that our Jingzhu is just the second lady of the Lu family, and we can't get married before the eldest lady, right?" โ
Lu Bingyan said: "I have my own measure in my heart about these things, you don't have to worry." โ
The next morning, Song Yuemei waited for Lu Bingyan to get up and go to court, so she asked Lu Jingzhu to come over.
Looking at her daughter's sleepy face, Song Yuemei was a little distressed and said: "Your father is partial to you, so you don't have to work so hard every day." โ
Lu Jingzhu smiled, but said: "A-Niang doesn't understand, what my father values, not to mention the phoenix life when I was born, if my daughter is not talented, then is it difficult for the Lu family to be in charge of the Lu family?" โ
Song Yuemei smiled when she heard this, "You, when did you learn to be so mean when Lu Guanlan spoke." โ
Lu Jingzhu smiled and said, "Then what A-Niang and I said in the house last night, did you let my father hear it?" โ
Song Yuemei said: "I naturally heard it, but now A-Niang doesn't know what your father is thinking in his heart." โ
Lu Jingzhu's face was full of smiles, "No matter what the father's idea is, my daughter will look at it, Lu Guanlan is useless,"
Song Yuemei raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said, "You girl, did you do something behind my back again?" โ
Lu Jingzhu said with a smile: "Ah Niang doesn't know, why did the two grandmothers stay in the house for only two days and leave?" โ
Song Yuemei frowned.
She really didn't know why the two people from the palace suddenly said they were leaving.
She is not the eldest lady, and now she has no power to be in charge, so she naturally can't ask.
When the two grandmothers left yesterday, she also asked people to investigate, only to say that there was a message from the palace and they had to go back.
But I didn't expect that it had anything to do with Jingzhu.
Then he asked, "You say." โ
Lu Jingzhu smiled slightly, his face full of pride.
He told him how he sent someone to invite the two grandmothers in the name of Lu Guanlan that day, and how he made the two grandmothers wait in Lu Guanlan's courtyard for a long time, and then how the two grandmothers left angrily.
It's all with Song Yuemei.
Song Yuemei listened to it and thought about it for a while.
asked Ping'er again: "Have you ever seen the two grandmothers unhappy that day, or Lu Guanlan angry?" โ
Ping'er shook her head, "As soon as the slave maid heard that the eldest lady came out, a girl closed the door. โ
Song Yuemei's heart was wrong.
What kind of character is Lu Guanlan, how could he let himself plant such a heel.
This kind of calculation, how could she Lu Guanlan not guess it.
How could she do nothing and let the two grandmothers leave the Lu family because of her.
Besides, this is not just her Lu Guanlan's business.
If one of the two old slaves and maids is dissatisfied and says a few more words in front of the queen, it will be the entire Lu family that is implicated.
Thinking of this, Song Yuemei asked the girl on the side again, "You said that day, the carriage that sent Yunli disappeared after stopping halfway?" โ
The girl on the side nodded, "The slave really saw that the carriage stopped when it was about to reach the city gate, and then turned into an alley and disappeared. โ
Lu Jingzhu was a little confused on the side, and asked: "A-Niang, what does this have to do with those two grandmothers returning to the palace?" โ
Song Yuemei said: "I just don't know if it has anything to do with it, so it's worrying." โ
She really didn't believe that the carriage that sent Yunli would be in the middle of the road for no reason.
She didn't believe it even more that Lu Guanlan would let those two grandmothers leave the Lu family.
What she is most worried about now is not the disappearance of Yunli's carriage, nor what these two grandmothers will say to the queen when they leave the Lu family.
Rather, all of this is related to Lu Guanlan in the peach orchard.
If all this is under Lu Guanlan's control, what will Lu Guanlan do with these things?
Lu Jingzhu looked at Song Yuemei with a pensive face, and couldn't help but become worried, "A-Niang, is my daughter ยทยทยทยทยทยท Done wrong? โ
Song Yuemei came back to her senses and shook her head, "You're right, now you just need to stay in this mansion in peace, and the rest will be arranged by A-Niang and your father." โ
Thinking of this, Song Yuemei turned back to the girl next to her and said, "I want to see your mother." โ
