At noon three days later, Lu Guanlan had just had lunch and was about to lie down and take a nap.

I saw Mama Zhang running over.

"Someone from Miss's grandfather's house came, saying that the old man in Shuzhong wrote a letter to Miss, and this son was in the front hall, saying that he wanted to hand it over to Miss in person. The old man was busy with business, so he asked the slave maid to come and invite the young lady over," Mama Zhang reported with a smile.

Lu Guanlan sat up from the couch chair with a wistful expression, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said lazily: "Mama have a cup of tea, wait for me to change my clothes." ”

After speaking, Lu Guanlan slowly stood up and took Ah Li to the back room.

added a cape embroidered with goldfish on the shoulder, and curled his hair in a bun, Lu Guanlan's tired appearance suddenly disappeared, only making people feel bright and delicate.

Ah Li stayed in the courtyard, and Lu Guanlan took Xiaoju to go.

As soon as I arrived at the front hall, I saw a rickety figure.

Lu Guanlan was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, the corners of his eyes were already a little moist.

"Mama Zhou," Lu Guanlan called softly.

The figure sitting in the hall turned around, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Little Miss," Mama Zhou hurriedly got up, her rickety body and gray hair made people look a little astringent.

Mama Zhou is her mother's nurse, and Mama Zhou was still in the house when she was five years old, but then somehow said that she went back to Shuzhong.

Now goodbye, it's like a world away.

"It's a long way to go in Beijing, why do you still want to run like this," Lu Guanlan stepped forward and grabbed Mama Zhou and asked Mama Zhou to sit down.

"The master is not at ease, so I asked my wife to run," as she spoke, Mama Zhou took out a cloth bag from her arms, took out a letter from the cloth bag, and handed it to Lu Guanlan.

Lu Guanlan took it, and the first three words were "Guanlan Qi".

It was her grandfather's handwriting, and she recognized it.

It's just that today's handwriting is not as chic and vigorous as before, and it adds a bit of old age and weakness in the twilight.

She gently rubbed the ink on her head with her fingertips, raised her eyes and said, "Grandfather, is he still healthy now?" ”

When Mama Zhou heard this, she looked around from side to side, and whispered: "The things that Miss wants to know are all in the letter, and it is inconvenient to say it in front of you." ”

Lu Guanlan nodded, immediately understood, and then asked Xiao Ju to take Mama Zhou down to rest.

Returning to Taoyuan with the letter, Lu Guanlan didn't rush to read the letter, just locked the letter in the cabinet and went for a walk in the garden.

I was feeding the fish, and I saw Haruka coming from the other side of the pond.

"Miss, my aunt said that she made a snack today, and asked the slave maid to invite a few young ladies to come over and taste it," Haruka saluted her.

She threw the fish food unhurriedly, and there was no joy or anger on her face.

As if she was afraid that she would refuse, Haruka continued, "There is an almond cake that Miss loves to eat. ”

"Almond cake?" Lu Guanlan muttered, and suddenly smiled, "Don't dare to eat anymore." ”

Chunxiang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she thought to herself, isn't this eldest lady aware of this?

was worried, when I saw Lu Guanlan spilling all the fish food in the handkerchief, "Auntie's kindness is difficult, how dare I and other juniors live up to my aunt's good intentions." ”

Chunxiang seemed to remember something at this time, and asked cautiously with a smile: "Why is Ah Li not in front of the eldest lady today, and there is no one to serve the eldest lady beside her." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled lightly, and the contempt in that smile made people feel a little chilled when they heard it.

"Help me look around the house, lest there be something else that shouldn't be there?" Lu Guanlan curled his lips and looked directly at Chunxiang.

Chunxiang only felt that the eldest lady in front of her was very evil, if she knew those things, she shouldn't have the attitude she has now, but if she didn't know, she was really angry, which made people's hearts cold.

After a short time, I arrived at Nixuan Pavilion.

Zhou Susu was also there, and when she saw Lu Guanlan, she greeted her with a smile, as if she was the master of this courtyard.

"Listening to Lianhua, Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet for the eldest lady has been in the limelight for a while, and I haven't seen her for two or three days, I see that the eldest lady's complexion has improved a lot," Zhou Susu smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lu Guanlan.

"Our eldest sister is majestic, I haven't seen the shadow of my eldest sister since I returned home, she is busier than my father's official business," Lu Lianqing couldn't hear the good words, and just wanted to take advantage of this to sour Lu Guanlan again.

Lu Guanlan knew that Zhou Susu was deliberately looking for Song Yuemei to be unhappy, and when it came to Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, Lu Jingzhu lost face, but she, Lu Guanlan, was liked by the old lady.

Now that Zhou Susu mentions it again, isn't it blocking Song Yuemei.

Lu Guanlan glanced at Song Yuemei, but he didn't see the expected anger.

I saw that Song Yuemei's face was plain and gentle, and she was not annoyed when she heard Zhou Susu's words, but also smiled, "Isn't it, if it weren't for the eldest lady's cup of tea, our second lady would have suffered from the old lady's troubles." ”

Song Yuemei's words are very interesting, if you are not present, listening to her words, you can't help but think that Lu Guanlan is bending his knees to pour tea and water for Old Man Chen, in exchange for appreciation.

Lu Guanlan naturally didn't care about the speed of her tongue at this time, and Song Yuemei invited her here today, of course, not just to invite her to a snack.

At this time, I saw Chunxiang hurriedly walking up to Song Yuemei, and after whispering a few words, Song Yuemei frowned slightly, and waved Chunxiang to retreat.

Song Yuemei already knew that Lu Guanlan's mother's family had sent a letter this time, so as soon as the old woman entered the door today, she sent someone to keep an eye on her.

The person who was staring at Lu Guanlan came back to report that not long after she returned to the courtyard, she went to the garden, and she guessed that Lu Guanlan would not have time to read the letter.

I wanted to take advantage of tasting the pastries to let people go to Lu Guanlan's room to steal the letter and destroy it, but I didn't want to, this girl seemed to be wary, and let the girl next to her stay in the room.

Lu Guanlan saw Song Yuemei's slightly annoyed face, and felt very comfortable.

That's right, watching the enemy eat deflated is one of the great joys of life.
