After Ah Li came back, she heard that the young lady was punished by the master to kneel in the ancestral hall.

When asked about Xiaoju, the girls said that they were still resting in the house.

Ah Li sighed, this girl was also frightened.

Immediately, he turned his head to find Steward Zhao.

Steward Zhao was about to send someone to the ancestral hall, when he saw Ah Li coming.

So he hurriedly told Ah Li about today's events.

Ah Li thought for a while, and then saluted to Steward Zhao: "Thank you Steward Zhao for telling Ah Li, it's just that it's really inappropriate for the eldest lady to have no one around her, although the lord punished him for kneeling in the ancestral hall, but in the end he is also the most honorable person in this inner courtyard, can Steward Zhao make it convenient for Ah Li to serve in front of Miss?" ”

Steward Zhao thought for a moment, thinking that this Ah Li had always been in front of the eldest lady, and she was the most powerful maid of the eldest lady, and she didn't dare to offend easily.

smiled and said: "In that case, then Miss Ali hurry up, I'll take care of it over there in the ancestral hall, if the master doesn't ask, I won't talk about it." ”

Ah Li nodded and curts, and then rushed to the ancestral hall.

Lu Guanlan was sitting with numb legs, wanting to stand up and stretch.

Unexpectedly, due to the lack of strength in his legs, he was halfway up when he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Ah Li just arrived, pushed the door in, and saw her young lady like this, tears immediately flowed out.

"Miss!" Ah Li hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Guanlan up.

Lu Guanlan turned around and saw that Ah Li's little face was full of tears, and couldn't help laughing: "Why did you become a crying cat when you saw me?" ”

As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief on his hand and wiped it for Ah Li.

Ah Li frowned, helped the young lady up, carefully checked it before and after, and confirmed that the young lady was not injured, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, you are really, what kind of slave maid only left for half a day, and you were punished by the master to kneel in the ancestral hall." ”

Ah Li knows that although her own young lady has means and is smart.

But in front of the master, he is as strong as a cow, and he always has to confront the master.

She estimated that the young lady must have no good words at this time, so she made the old man angry.

Lu Guanlan smiled, "It can be seen that you have to have my good Ah Li by your side." ”

Ah Li said angrily: "At this time, the young lady should not make fun of the slave maid." ”

After that, Ah Li looked back and saw that the door was closed and no one was guarding outside, so she approached Lu Guanlan's ear.

"The slave maid has already given a lot of silver taels to the Huichun Hall, and if someone comes to the Huichun Hall after that, it will be Dr. Luo who comes, and the slave and maid also said to Dr. Luo, he will go to see Aunt Song's courtyard in the future, and Steward Zhao will know how to act in the future."

Lu Guanlan listened and nodded slightly.

Then he asked, "When you came, did you come from Steward Zhao?" ”

Ah Li replied: "The slave maid returned to the courtyard and saw no trace of the young lady, and I heard the girl below say that the young lady went to the ancestral hall, so I asked Steward Zhao about the situation. Steward Zhao said that he was hiding it here, and the slave maid was guarding the young lady. ”

Lu Guanlan lowered his eyes, "It's not like this." ”

Ah Li was a little puzzled, "What does the young lady want to know?" ”

Lu Guanlan raised his eyes and looked out the window.

At this time, the night will be thick, and a gust of wind will blow outside, dissipating a little heat.

"What's the situation over there, Steward Zhao didn't tell you?" Lu Guanlan's tone suddenly carried a hint of coldness.

Ah Li hurriedly replied: "The slave came in a hurry, and she also found Steward Zhao in a hurry, and she only asked about the safety of the young lady, and did not talk about it. ”

Lu Guanlan nodded clearly.

In fact, she didn't need to ask Steward Zhao how many points she could guess.

Lu Bingyan must have gone to Nixuan Pavilion over there.

She put the post on the table in the back room, and it wasn't hard to find.

Lu Bingyan got the post, and he will definitely send it to Song Yuemei as soon as possible, so that Song Yuemei can restrain Lu Jingzhu so that she can prepare for the queen's banquet after the moon.

It's just that she is curious that Song Yuemei knows that she will take the opportunity to make any ideas when she is punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

She didn't want to go to the midsummer banquet in the first place, since this errand was led by Lu Jingzhu, how many pairs of eyes in this mansion would stare at Lu Jingzhu in the future.

As for her, now that the matter of being punished for kneeling has been known to the whole house, it will definitely make people feel that she is a concubine who was given up by Lu Bingyan.

An unfavored concubine will no longer be noticed.

She also took advantage of this time to deal with the things she should deal with.

At this time, someone outside the door came to spread the word, saying that Lu Bingyan had something to bring to the eldest lady.

Ah Li opened the door, and saw that the person who came was a servant beside Steward Zhao, so she asked, "If the master has anything to say, little brother should say it quickly." ”

The servant bowed to Lu Guanlan on his knees, and arched his hand: "The master asked the little one to come to the young lady to tell the young lady, if the young lady has any repentance, she will bring the things she should bring and go to the master's study to admit her mistake." ”

When Lu Guanlan heard this, he smiled, waved his hand and said, "I know, you can step down." ”

But the servant remained in place.

Seeing this, Ah Li frowned, "What's wrong?" Do you have to ask the eldest lady to reply now? ”

The servant looked embarrassed, glanced back at the courtyard, and said, "Miss, can you let the little one come in and say." ”

Ah Li hurriedly shouted: "What are you talking about, the eldest lady has not yet left the cabinet, how can she be alone with a man with you, it is very wrong for the master to let you come to pass the word today." ”

Ah Li is right.

In the inner house, the messenger has always been the housekeeper of the house.

Now that Mama Zhang is not here, although it is inappropriate to let Steward Zhao come to pass the word, but Steward Zhao has been in the house for many years, as long as he does not enter the lady's boudoir, it is not a particularly bad thing.

But today, this servant is good, and he just wants to pass the word, and he still wants to step into the door.

If he is really in the same room with the young lady, once it is known, Rao is by her side, and it is impossible to say.

The servant didn't want to even be so vigilant even the girl beside Lu Guanlan, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to make amends, "It's the little one who doesn't understand the rules, and the little one just wants to pass the news on behalf of Steward Zhao and Miss Tong, but I really don't have the intention to do so." ”

Ah Li wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Guanlan.

"Since that's the case, then that's it, you go back and talk to your father, what's the matter with Steward Zhao's side, it's not too late for me to finish kneeling in the ancestral hall," Lu Guanlan waved his hand.

Ali stepped forward and slammed the door shut.

Listening to the footsteps outside the door, Ah Li turned around and said, "Let's go, Miss." ”

Lu Guanlan nodded.

"How did Steward Zhao come out with such an ignorant person, and he almost ruined the reputation of the young lady," Ah Li couldn't help but complain.

Lu Guanlan smiled: "Do you really think this is Steward Zhao's person?" ”

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"Tomorrow, you go and remind Steward Zhao and let him keep an eye on the people around him," Lu Guanlan said, turning around and sitting back on the futon.

The next day, when Lu Guanlan woke up, he was wearing Ah Li's coat and his head was still resting on Ah Li's lap.

When I looked up and saw Ah Li dozing off with her head down, I couldn't help but smile.

I don't know that person will have such a good fortune in the future to be able to marry her Ali.

At this time, Ah Li also opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that Miss was looking at herself, so she asked, "Is Miss awake?" ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "If I hadn't woken up, would it be possible to sleepwalk and look at you?" ”

Ah Li rubbed her eyes and helped Lu Guanlan up from the futon.

"The slave and maid go and fetch water, and prepare some porridge," he said, turning around.

Lu Guanlan pulled Ah Li and said, "Go back to the courtyard." ”

Ah Li was puzzled: "Miss, this is-"

Lu Bingyan's words that Lu Bingyan asked the servant to take yesterday were euphemistic, but the meaning was clear.

What does it mean to bring what you need to bring? Isn't that just for her to prepare the things that Mrs. Wang wants and send them to him?

Since she said that she would not suffer this loss, how could she swallow it easily.

After leaving the bait for so long, it's time to close the net today.

Back in the courtyard, Ah Li fetched water.

After freshening up, Lu Guanlan had breakfast for himself, and let Ah Li eat some with him.

Immediately, thinking of Xiao Ju, he asked Ah Li: "Is Xiao Ju's girl better?" ”

Xiao Ju is simple-minded, she has never seen such a thing, and this is the first time she encounters it, she is too frightened to sleep.

Therefore, she also went with Xiaoju in the past two days, and also let Xiaoju rest.

Ali said: "Yesterday, the slave came back and asked, she was still lying down, this time she was scared, the slave and maid looked, it didn't take ten days and half a month, and she couldn't get up." ”

Lu Guanlan nodded and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Okay, let her rest well, so as not to fall into any diseases in the future." ”

It is said that this person is scary and scared to death, and when Xiao Ju saw such a battle for the first time, it was good luck that he was not scared to death.

After breakfast, Lu Guanlan asked Ah Li to prepare a carriage.

At this time, Lu Bingyan had not come back from the court, and it was the right time to go out.

Song Yuemei heard that Lu Guanlan was going out again, so she turned her head and said to the girl beside her: "Go, find someone to follow the eldest lady, see where she went and who she met." ”

Song Yuemei knew what the old man said last night, and she also knew that Mrs. Wang was thinking about the little property of Lu Guanlan's mother's family.

It's just that she feels that Lu Guanlan, a cheap girl, has a lot of ideas, so she is not the one who hands over the ticket number so easily.

When his son heard that Lu Guanlan was going out again, he thought that he must have done something shady again.

Maybe it's related to Mrs. Wang.

Last time, she was commanded by Lu Guanlan, and it seemed that Lu Bingyan was just grounded and did not punish her.

But only she knows that now that she is in the heart of the master, I am afraid that she has lost her trust.

The lord has lifted the ban on her now, but it is also for Watson and Jingzhu's sake.

She can't help but avenge this revenge, and she can't let Lu Guanlan be a stumbling block to Jingzhu.

The girl got the order and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, Lu Jingzhu came from outside.

Seeing the new girl beside her mother hurriedly leaving the yard, she couldn't help but wonder, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she asked, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

Song Yuemei raised her eyes and frowned when she saw her daughter coming, "Didn't you let you practice painting and calligraphy in the house?" What's wrong with it coming out again? ”

Lu Jingzhu smiled slightly, and her flower-like delicate face was pleasing to the eye, "A-Niang~ Isn't my daughter thinking about A-Niang?" Besides, it's still early for the banquet in the palace, so why rush. ”

Song Yuemei scolded: "You girl, now your father values you and lets A-Niang take care of you, but you don't care like this, look at Lu Guanlan, if it was her, I'm afraid I would have prepared carefully." You, you have to fight for A-Niang. ”

When Lu Jingzhu heard this, he sneered: "Lu Guanlan's temperament, even if he is in the palace, he will not be pleased, besides, now that her father doesn't have a good face for her, what is there to worry about, she even compares a slut like her with me." ”

Song Yuemei sighed lightly, pulled Lu Jingzhu's hands, and patted them gently, "This time, A-Niang will let you dominate the crowd and win the first place in front of all the ladies in Beijing." ”
