Li Duan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Envoy, I'd better send you back to the guild hall first." ”

said, before Wen Ruofei could speak again, he carried Wen Ruofei downstairs.

When passing by Lu Guanlan's side, Li Duan said in a low voice: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Lu Guanlan was silent, just quietly watched Li Duan take Wen Ruofei away.

Ah Li stepped forward, "Miss, are we still waiting here?" ”

Lu Guanlan sighed, turned around and went back to the private room.

It wasn't until near evening that I heard Li Duan knock on the door.

Xiao Ju stepped forward to open the door and welcomed Li Duan into the room and sat down.

Li Duan took the tea poured by Ah Li and looked at Lu Guanlan with a smile, "I didn't think that you were really still waiting for me." ”

Lu Guanlan frowned, "Anyway, what is General Li looking for me?" ”

Li Duan put down the teacup, and then said: "This envoy from Xixing is not a simple person, I want you to stay away from him." ”

Lu Guanlan raised his eyes, "What does General Li mean by this, do you think that I am getting close to this Xixing envoy?" ”

Li Duan shook his head, "I didn't mean that, it's just that this time he came to Dacheng, and he will definitely take the task given to him by Emperor Xixing, and I don't want you to get involved." ”

Lu Guanlan stood up, "It's none of my business, how can I get involved?" If General Lee has nothing to do, then I will take my leave. ”

With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Ah Li and Xiao Ju also hurriedly saluted Li Duan and followed out of the room.

Li Jian looked at Lu Guanlan's back and shook his head, he always felt that it was not easy for Xixing to come this time, but he also always felt that Lu Guanlan, this girl, would be involved.

I don't know what will happen next, so he can only wait and see.

On the way home, Xiao Ju couldn't help but muttering that this Xixing envoy was really beautiful.

couldn't help but ask Lu Guanlan: "Miss, do you think, is our General Li good-looking, or the Xixing envoy good-looking?" ”

Lu Guanlan was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Xiaoju.

Ah Li hurriedly scolded on the side: "You girl, no big or small, you actually asked Miss about this." ”

But he saw Lu Guanlan open his mouth and said: "I think that this Xixing envoy is indeed better looking than General Li." ”

As he was talking, he arrived at the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw a girl kneeling at the door.

Steward Zhao was also there, but his expression was embarrassed.

Seeing that Lu Guanlan came back, Steward Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, this girl said that she was your slave, look at this ······"

The girl who was kneeling on the ground turned her head when she heard this, and when she saw Lu Guanlan, she got up and walked in front of Lu Guanlan, and knelt down again, "Miss, when the slave maid came out of Linjiang Tower, she inquired that you were the eldest lady of the Lu family, so she came here." ”

Lu Guanlan suddenly felt a headache.

She did good deeds, but she didn't come back to buy a girl.

Thinking of this, Lu Guanlan waved his hand and asked Ah Li to help the girl up, "I'm just a gang today, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to go to my house to be a slave." ”

With that, he was going home.

The girl rushed to Lu Guanlan, pulled the corner of Lu Guanlan's skirt and knelt down again, "Miss Lu, the slave and maid are helpless now, and my brother is seriously ill, if you hadn't rescued me today, the slave and my brother would have died in the hands of that group of people, you are the life-saving benefactor of the slave and my brother, and the slave and my brother have nothing to repay, I am only willing to serve you as a cow and a horse for a lifetime!" ”

The girl's words were sincere, as if Lu Guanlan didn't agree today, so she wouldn't let Lu Guanlan go back.

Lu Guanlan sighed.

Knowing this, she turned a cold eye.

Steward Zhao saw that Lu Guanlan also looked unwilling to accept it, so he said to the girl: "You girl, the eldest lady said no, you still insist on entering the house, if you pester our eldest lady again, I will call someone to come." ”

The girl's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she looked up at Lu Guanlan, looking very pitiful.

Lu Guanlan was helpless, and saw that Steward Zhao really wanted to call someone, so he sighed again: "That's it, you come in for me." ”

The girl suddenly felt happy on her face, and hurriedly stood up, "Miss, the slave maid is called Chuyu, and in the future, the slave maid will serve the young lady wholeheartedly!" ”

Lu Guanlan nodded, and said to Steward Zhao: "This girl will stay in Taoyuan in the future, you go and report to your father." ”

Steward Zhao nodded, and then said to Chu Yu: "Tomorrow, you will hand over your deed to me, and you will be the girl next to the eldest lady in the future." ”

Before Chu Yu could speak, Lu Guanlan said: "No need, the identity deed of Chu Yu will be handed over to me." ”

When Steward Zhao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Miss, I'm afraid this is not in line with etiquette, the girls in this mansion have to be placed in the small place." ”

Lu Guanlan didn't say anything, just looked at Ah Li.

Ah Li said: "Steward Zhao, this first word is a girl bought by the young lady, and this deed should naturally be managed by our eldest lady." ”

Steward Zhao was helpless, so he had to bow his head, "Yes, the little one will go back to report to the master." ”

Lu Guanlan nodded.

At this time, Ah Li said: "Miss, will you wait in the house or ······ after the first words?"

Lu Guanlan glanced at Chu Yu, who was standing quietly on the side, and said, "There is you in the house, Chu Yu will serve me flowers and plants in the courtyard." ”

Chu Yu smiled and saluted obediently: "Yes, Miss." ”

After returning to Taoyuan, Lu Guanlan asked Ah Li to bring water to bathe.

After freshening up, I lay down on the couch.

Ah Li came in with herbal tea and said to Lu Guanlan: "Miss, are you worried about the first words?" ”

Lu Guanlan raised his eyes, "Why do you say that?" ”

Ah Li put down the teacup, "If you trust, Miss won't just let Chu Yu go outside." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "Since you guessed, why do you still ask me?" ”

Ah Li said: "The slave maid is just afraid of guessing the young lady's thoughts, if she guesses wrong, she neglects the first words, and she is not very comfortable thinking about it." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled and shook his head, "Let's take a look for the time being." ”

She just felt that if she was an ordinary girl, even if she was rescued for a while, she had already said this, so she didn't have to be her slave.

Not to mention that in such an emergency situation as this girl's brother vomiting blood and sending her to the hospital, she can still think of asking people about her origins.

The fact that she had to be a cow and a horse made her even more strange.

Who wants to be a slave or a slave to this ordinary people?

Since she said no, she also gave the silver taels, and this girl still came to the door, and she felt that it was not so simple.

I also feel that this girl is not like an ordinary person.

It's just that she hasn't noticed anything yet, so she just looks at it first.

The next day, Lu Guanlan just woke up, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Yu cleaning the house.

Lu Guanlan was stunned for a moment and sat up, "Where is Ah Li?" ”

Chu Yu looked back and smiled when he heard this, "Miss is awake?" Sister Ali went to prepare breakfast for Miss, and the slave maid saw that Sister Ali was too busy to serve Miss alone, so she thought about cleaning Miss's boudoir for Sister Ali. ”

Lu Guanlan frowned, "If you want to clean Ah Li, you just need to clean the outhouse, and Ah Li will clean up the house for me." ”

At the beginning of the sentence, Lu Guanlan's face was not good-looking, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Miss, forgive me!" It's the slave who is reckless! ”

Lu Guanlan was helpless.

Who did this girl learn from when she kneels at every turn? Before she could get angry, the girl looked like she was about to be punished.

"Get up, I don't like to kneel when I meet someone," Lu Guanlan got out of bed.

Chu Yu immediately stood up and bowed his head at Lu Guanlan, "That slave went down first." ”

Lu Guanlan nodded.

At this time, I saw Ah Li coming in with a basin of water, and I was stunned when I saw Chu Yu walking out.

After Chu Yu left, Ah Li stepped forward and said, "Miss, why did Chu Yu come in?" ”

Lu Guanlan frowned, picked up a handkerchief to clean his face, and after washing his face, he got up and walked outside the house.

Ah Li had already prepared breakfast, and Lu Guanlan sat down straight at the table in the outhouse.

"You go out of the house today and find someone to check the details of the first words for me," Lu Guanlan said, picking up the porridge bowl.

Ah Li said: "What did Miss find?" ”

Lu Guanlan shook his head, blew on the steaming porridge, and said, "Don't let people notice." ”

Ah Li bowed, "Miss rest assured." ”

Song Yuemei heard that Lu Guanlan brought back a girl yesterday, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she also asked Lingxiang to inquire about it.

Lingxiang couldn't enter Lu Guanlan's yard, so she found two girls who were washing and cleaning.

Knowing that this girl's name is Chu Yu, she personally came to Shangshu Mansion yesterday, saying that she was rescued by Lu Guanlan, so she wanted to be a girl next to Lu Guanlan.

Song Yuemei listened to Lingxiang's report, and she was even more puzzled in her heart.

Lu Guanlan's temperament, how can he be a person who can help easily, how can he be so kind.

Immediately, he asked Lingxiang, "What does that girl look like?" ”

Lingxiang said: "The slave maid has never seen it, but I heard the girls say that this first sentence is really good-looking, and the person is very smart." ”

When Song Yuemei heard this, her face suddenly sank.

Could it be that this girl is going to give a concubine to the master?

Seeing that Wang Qin'er couldn't enter the door earlier, she planned to use the beautiful concubine outside to envelop the master, so that the master would completely break off the idea of correcting her?

I didn't think that Lu Guanlan, a slut, could be so dirty.

Thinking about it, Song Yuemei said: "Now that the second lady is still grounded, you can inform the third aunt and let the third aunt visit the eldest lady." ”

Lingxiang was a little embarrassed, "Can ······ The third aunt may not go. ”

Song Yuemei sneered, "If you tell the third aunt what you inquire, I won't believe it, she is not in a hurry." ”

Lingxiang nodded, then turned around and went to Zhou Susu's yard.

After noon, Ah Li came back from outside, and when she walked to the yard, she saw Chu Yu seriously sprinkling water for the flowers, and couldn't help sighing.

I don't know what this girl is about.

If you are really for Miss, it is naturally a good thing to have more people around you.

But if it's not good for Miss, I don't know what this girl will do.

Chu Yu also happened to turn around at this time, and when he saw Ah Li coming back, he smiled and bowed, "Sister Ah Li, you are back." ”

Ali nodded silently and went straight back to the house.

Lu Guanlan had just finished lunch and was reading a book on the recliner, when he saw Ah Li coming back, he asked, "How is it?" ”

Ah Li approached Lu Guanlan's ear and whispered: "The slave maid has already sent someone to investigate, but I am afraid that I will not get any news today, so I have to wait for the slave maid to go out of the house tomorrow." ”

Lu Guanlan nodded, put down the scroll, and was about to take a nap.

But I heard Ah Li say again: "It's just that the slave maid went outside today and heard a piece of news." ”

Lu Guanlan opened his eyes again and looked at Ah Li, "What's the news?" ”

Ah Li said: "I heard that today, the envoy of Xixin went to Linjiang Tower again, and bumped into the swinger of the Wu family, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, molesting the folk girl at the door, so he took action to teach the Wu prince a lesson, and brought the girl who was molested back to the hall." ”

Lu Guanlan was stunned, and his body stiffened.
