Chapter 80: Delivery in the Palace
As soon as these words came out, Lu Guanlan and Ah Li were stunned.
Ah Li hurriedly asked, "Silly girl, aren't you mistaken?" β
Xiao Ju's lips were trembling, and the tea in the teacup she was holding was shaken out, "NoΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· No, the slave is not mistaken, yesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's Haruka. The man was secretly carrying Haruka, and the slave maid saw Haruka's eyes, so she was Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· So staring straight at the slave! β
After speaking, Xiao Ju couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
Ah Li hurriedly stepped forward to cover Xiaoju's mouth, and said half-scolding and half-comforting: "Don't be quiet!" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. β
As he spoke, he patted Xiaoju on the back.
Lu Guanlan frowned, closed his eyes, and then asked Xiaoju: "Can you see what that person looks like?" β
Xiao Ju was crying in Ah Li's arms, and when she heard Lu Guanlan's question, she raised her head from Ah Li's arms and replied with a sob: "No Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I didn't see it clearly, but the man had his back to the slave. β
Lu Guanlan nodded, and asked again, "Where is it buried?" β
Xiao Ju said: "In the courtyard that is vacant behind the north. β
"Okay, I know," Lu Guanlan thought for a moment, and then motioned to Ah Li and asked Ah Li to take Xiaoju down to rest.
Ah Li bowed her head and helped Xiaoju get up and go back to the house.
As soon as Ah Li took Xiaoju away, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Haruka is dead?
Lu Guanlan was a little puzzled by this matter.
Chunxiang is the big girl next to Song Yuemei, why did she die so easily? It was still when Song Yuemei was making a fuss about "strange diseases".
There must be something strange about Haruka's death, otherwise, she would not have buried the body without reporting it.
Not only is it strange, but burying Haruka's body in the yard without thinking about taking it out is really abnormal.
Everything has a reason, she feels that this matter is not only related to Song Yuemei, I am afraid, it is also related to her.
Ah Li placed Xiao Ju and coaxed Xiao Ju to sleep, and then came back again.
Seeing that the young lady was still sitting in the courtyard, she stepped forward and said: "That stupid girl has fallen asleep, and the slave and maid coaxed for a while before she closed her eyes, and kept saying that she saw Chunxiang dangling in front of her eyes, Miss, look, should we investigate this matter?" β
Lu Guanlan lightly tapped his index finger on the table, and slowly said, "Check, naturally I want to check." You can't let us go on our own. β
Ah Li was puzzled, "What does Miss mean, let those slaves and maids who were bought?" β
Lu Guanlan smiled and shook his head, "These people can send news on weekdays, and it is still not good to investigate this kind of thing." β
The next day, Steward Zhao came in person.
Seeing that Lu Guanlan was having breakfast, he reported outside the house: "Miss, Aunt Song doesn't seem to be very good, yesterday the old man stayed at Aunt Song's for half a night, and the little one also followed aside, listening to the doctor, I have to recuperate in the future." β
Lu Guanlan put down his chopsticks, took a small bowl of lotus seed white fungus soup, raised his eyes and asked, "Is it?" The doctors who have treated Aunt Song all say this? β
Steward Zhao nodded, "Yes, they all said so." β
A smile appeared in Lu Guanlan's eyes, "Then Steward Zhao has asked the doctor in private?" β
"This Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Steward Zhao did not ask the doctor privately, also because those doctors left on their own when they came out of Aunt Song's house.
As usual, he should have sent these doctors out, and took the doctor's prescription by the way.
This time, because there were many doctors, the master asked him to bring the next doctor in, and the first doctor who saw the doctor went back to get the medicine on his own.
Lu Guanlan didn't embarrass Steward Zhao, but just waved his hand and asked Ah Li to bring a bag of silver.
Steward Zhao took the money bag with both hands, and hurriedly bowed to thank him, "Thank you, Miss, the little one will go back and inquire today, and when there is news, I will immediately report to the eldest lady." β
Lu Guanlan nodded and motioned for Steward Zhao to go.
"Miss, the slave always feels that Aunt Song's illness is a bit off," Ah Li added another bowl of white fungus soup and handed it to Lu Guanlan.
Lu Guanlan pushed the porcelain bowl away, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, "You can see it, let alone others." β
"Miss also thinks that Aunt Song is pretending to be sick?" Ah Li saw that Lu Guanlan was full, so she started to clean up the table.
Lu Guanlan smiled: "If it weren't for that, how could my father find so many doctors." β
Ah Li was stunned.
Lu Guanlan stood up with a smile, walked to the courtyard and stretched.
If you are a bystander, you will only feel that Lu Bingyan has always doted on Song Yuemei, and this time she invited so many doctors, and she also felt sorry for Aunt Song.
But she knew that Lu Bingyan would not easily trust Song Yuemei now, so she found a different doctor for diagnosis and treatment yesterday, just to know if Song Yuemei was pretending to be sick.
What Steward Zhao said must be true, but she didn't believe what the doctor said.
Although they are all doctors found from outside, no one knows if the doctors who went in for diagnosis and treatment have received the benefits of Song Yuemei.
After all, with a lesson like Luo Jian's past, it is difficult to guarantee that Song Yuemei and Lu Jingzhu will not buy people.
Thinking about it, she turned around, "Where is that Dr. Luo from yesterday?" β
As soon as Ah Li beckoned the girls to take down the plates, she turned her head and heard the young lady ask about the doctor Luo she met yesterday, so she immediately replied: "Rejuvenation Hall." β
Lu Guanlan sighed.
If you want to say that life is in the world, there are still some fates that come to an end.
Whether it's a bad fate or a good fate, there has to be a result.
Since this Luo Jian was the person next to Song Yuemei in the previous life, in this life, you can't let others find a master.
She was kind and sent this person to Song Yuemei's side.
After lunch, Ah Li left the house.
Lu Guanlan was practicing calligraphy in the room, but saw a girl running outside, saying that someone came to the front door to deliver a post, which was for the eldest lady.
Lu Guanlan took the post presented by the girl and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out to be the queen's midsummer banquet.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Guanlan stopped the girl who was about to leave and asked, "Who sent this post?" β
The girl said: "It's the female envoy of the Duke of Li's mansion, and she is followed by the people in the palace." β
"Got it, you can step down," Lu Guanlan waved his hand, took the post and turned back to the back room.
Who exactly asked her for this post, she didn't have to think about it to guess.
This Li is really good, and if she has such a good intention, she has to do something annoying for her.
In her previous life, she was tired of dealing with the palace, and in this life, she didn't want to be involved in the palace anymore, even if she used Cheng Mo, she was all a strategist outside him, where did she still need to enter the palace?
The more I thought about it, the more angry I felt, so I threw the post in my hand on the table casually.
At this time, a notice suddenly came from the courtyard, saying that Lu Bingyan was coming.
When Lu Guanlan heard this, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
Lu Bingyan is also well-informed, so he quickly knows that she has received a post from the palace.
Come to think of it, it doesn't look like congratulating her.
Lu Bingyan really didn't come to congratulate Lu Guanlan.
Just now Steward Zhao came and said that there was a post in the palace.
Lu Bingyan originally thought it was His Majesty's congratulatory banquet, but who knows, this post was indeed handed to Lu Guanlan.
Since it is given to Lu Guanlan, it must be a post from the harem.
I think there is still a month of the queen's midsummer banquet, if this post is from the harem, eighty percent is also the queen's post.
Thinking that Lu Guanlan can't see people now, if he goes to the palace, wouldn't it be a joke.
It's better to let Lu Guanlan let the post out, so that Jingzhu can go.
Thinking like this, he rushed to Taoyuan.
Lu Guanlan came out of the back room and saw Lu Bingyan looking at him with a loving smile, so he bowed slightly: "My daughter has seen her father, but I don't know that my father is coming, but what's the matter?" β
Lu Bingyan sat down and said with a smile: "You girl, I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?" You are the eldest daughter of your father, and your father should be more concerned about you. β
As he spoke, he stared at Lu Guanlan carefully and looked around, but he didn't see any posts in her hand.
Lu Guanlan saw Lu Bingyan's expression, and felt funny in his heart.
"It's not that he can't come, it's just that the father doesn't come much, and every time he comes to look for his daughter, he either scolds or has something to look for, and the daughter thinks that the father is looking for his daughter this time, so what's the matter," Lu Guanlan also sat down and waved his hand to let the girl on the side participate in tea.
Lu Bingyan's face stiffened when he heard this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became unnatural, but his tone remained kind, "You kid, don't you complain that your father cares little about you on weekdays?" Don't worry, you are your father's eldest daughter, and if you choose a son-in-law in the future, your husband's family will not dare to embarrass you. β
Lu Guanlan's face under the veil was already sneering, "So my father said so much, why did he come here, can he talk to his daughter directly?" β
Lu Bingyan was a little embarrassed by her words, coughed, and asked, "Fang Cai, there is a post in the palace?" β
Lu Guanlan nodded, "Yes, the queen's post, what's wrong?" β
When Lu Bingyan heard this, he was overjoyed, but he didn't show half a point on his face, but continued: "What did you say in that post?" β
Lu Guanlan smiled slightly, "The post said that I want my daughter to go to the queen's midsummer banquet." β
Lu Bingyan asked again: "Is there anything else?" β
Lu Guanlan knew that Lu Bingyan wanted to know if this post was named.
If not, you can find a reason for her illness and let Lu Jingzhu go instead of her.
Lu Bingyan not only did Lu Guanlan already see through his thoughts, but also pressed to ask with hope.
"No," Lu Guanlan's tone was indifferent, with a look of "that's it".
Lu Bingyan was a little unconvinced, and suddenly stood up, "What about the post, let my father take a look." β
Lu Guanlan pouted, "My daughter really doesn't know, what does my father want to know." Since the post was sent to me without my father's hand, my father had no reason to read it. Besides, it's all handed to me, so naturally I want to go, is it possible, the father thinks his daughter is not worthy? β
Lu Bingyan said in his heart.
Of course not.
Although Lu Guanlan's disfigurement was known to everyone who went to Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, it was not much.
But if this entry into the palace is known, it will be the laughing stock of the whole of Kyoto and the whole world.
At that time, everyone will say that the Lu family has an ugly-looking concubine.
In this way, not only the reputation of the Lu family, but also Jingzhu's future will be ruined.
Thinking of Aunt Song's incomparable appearance on the couch yesterday, holding his hand and talking about the past and many years of affection, he felt unbearable.
Speaking of which, if there was no Lu Guanlan's mother at the beginning, if he had met Aunt Song in the morning, then there would be no such things as after.
Jingzhu will also be his daughter-in-law, and Qi Ming and Watson will also be his son-in-law.
Thinking like this, Lu Bingyan suddenly turned cold and shouted: "Go and see, how can you talk to your father like this in the whole world, you actually contradict your father three times and twice, so, then you go to the ancestral ancestral hall to learn the rules!" β
