Ah Li was a little strange, "You girl, you don't serve by Miss's side, where are you going crazy again?" ”

Ah Li gasped, with a look of grievance, "Sister Ah Li misunderstood others, it was the young lady who asked the slave to mark people." ”

"Marking?" Ali turned her head to look at her young lady.

Lu Guanlan nodded and handed Xiao Ju a cup of tea, "How is Aunt Song saying to Chu Yu?" ”

Xiao Ju told Lu Guanlan what happened in the garden.

Ah Li was also a little surprised, "Why did Miss still let Chuyu do things for Aunt Song, but Chuyu is still in our courtyard now." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "Xiaoju also said the same, but I wonder how Aunt Song, who loves to be a good old man and a smiling tiger, would embarrass a girl today." ”

Xiao Ju drank all the tea, and said: "The slave is also curious, but looking at Chu Yu is really pitiful, I never thought that Lingxiang would bully people like this." ”

"Miss, can we take care of this?" Ah Li was just worried at this time that Aunt Song was slapping the young lady in the face by doing this.

Lu Guanlan shook his head, "No need, let's take a look." ”

After dinner, Hatsuyu came back from outside the courtyard.

Ah Li happened to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw Chu Yu's pale face and the corners of her skirt stained with a little mud, she was still a little unbearable, and said, "You go back and rest first, Miss has me and Xiaoju to take care of her." ”

Chu Yu raised his head when he heard this, looked at Ah Li's face with a little worry, and couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Sister Ah Li." ”

With that, he turned around and went back to the maid's house.

Ah Li looked at Chu Yu like this, and still felt that Aunt Song was a little excessive, but she didn't know how long she had to let Chu Yu endure such torture.

The day before the Midyear Festival, Lu Guanlan let Ah Li go out.

Song Yuemei was busy letting Lingxiang torture Chu Yu, and every day she either asked Chu Yu to clean the garden and pool, or let Chu Yu go to Ni Xuan Pavilion and He Yuxuan to loosen the soil.

Zhou Susu knew that Chu Yu was Lu Guanlan's girl, so she naturally wouldn't be embarrassed, but every time Lingxiang brought Chu Yu and told Chu Yu to do that, it was hard for Zhou Susu to say anything.

Song Yuemei saw that the girl was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, where did she have time to meet the master.

Thinking of this, Song Yuemei was in a much better mood, and she drank tea in the garden pavilion every day.

Ah Li came back from outside near evening, and when she returned to the yard, she happened to meet Chu Yu, who was also coming back.

Seeing that Chu Yu has become thinner and thinner in the past few days, Ah Li said: "Today, you should go back and rest first, don't worry about other things." ”

Chu Yu usually just nodded and retreated, but today for some reason, he suddenly raised his head to look at Ah Li and said, "Sister Ah Li, Miss She······ Don't you want me to stay in the yard? ”

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You girl, why do you say that." ”

Chu Yu smiled, "If Miss is willing, then I'll continue," he said, bowing slightly towards Ah Li and turning to leave.

Ah Li looked at Chu Yu and asked if this girl had a grudge in her heart.

If you do something to the young lady because of resentment, it won't be good.

Thinking of this, Ah Li immediately went back to the house.

Seeing Ah Li coming back, Lu Guanlan put down his pen and asked, "Found it?" ”

Ah Li nodded, "Although it is rare to find, it is fortunate that there is General Li." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled.

Yes, she didn't go to Chengmo this time, this time, she didn't want to have much to do with Chengmo, and secondly, the king ceremony was coming, if there were branches at this time, Rao was a way for her to get rid of it, but it also hindered her plan.

Li Duan is different, as a general, with the support of the Guogong Mansion behind him, just like finding the beggar, finding someone is not easier than Chengmo.

"Miss ······" At this time, Ah Li suddenly spoke with some hesitation.

Lu Guanlan raised his eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

Ah Li said: "When the slave maid came back, I met Chuyu in the courtyard. ”

Lu Guanlan nodded, "What did she say to you?" ”

Ah Li nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Chuyu did say that the slave maid said, she felt that the young lady didn't seem to want her to stay in the courtyard." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled suddenly, "It's no wonder, if you are so humiliated and suffered, you think the same for another person." ”

It's just that she doesn't plan to make a move yet, because she is still waiting for this girl to make a move.

She didn't believe that such a smart girl would really be trampled on. She always felt that this girl couldn't help it.

At this time, Xiao Ju knocked on the door from outside and came in, "Miss, the yard of the eldest lady has been cleaned up, just waiting for tomorrow's practice." ”

Lu Guanlan curled the corners of his lips.

Come to think of it, tomorrow's drama must be very good.

Early the next morning, Lu Guanlan ordered the girl in the courtyard to burn paper money in the courtyard, and asked Ah Li to find Steward Zhao.

As soon as Steward Zhao entered the courtyard and saw the paper ashes all over the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then stepped forward and bowed to Lu Guanlan, who was burning paper, "Miss, what are you ······?"

Lu Guanlan was squatting, and when he heard Steward Zhao's voice, he turned his head and stood up, brushed away the ashes that fell on the corner of his skirt, and said with a smile: "Today is the Midyear Festival, so I thought about burning some paper money for my mother." ”

Steward Zhao hurriedly nodded and groveled, "Yes, the eldest lady is like this, there is nothing wrong with it." But I don't know, why is the eldest lady looking for a small one? ”

Lu Guanlan glanced at Ah Li on the side.

Ah Li understood and said: "Speaking of which, Miss has been resting very badly recently, and she is often caught in nightmares this night, and every time she gets up in the morning, she says that she dreamed of the eldest lady." ”

Steward Zhao was stunned, eldest lady?

Lu Guanlan also sighed and said: "Yes, I often dream of my mother recently, and I heard my mother say that it was too lonely to go, and that it was so cold down here. ”

As he spoke, Lu Guanlan's eyes were really red, and there was fog in his eyes.

Seeing this, Steward Zhao hurriedly said: "Come to think of it, the eldest lady is missing the eldest lady very much, but I really don't know how to do this kind of thing." ”

Lu Guanlan looked sad and weeping, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Speaking of which, my mother is not at peace, and I, as a daughter, should also do a Dharma for my mother." ”

Steward Zhao was stunned again when he heard this, the law?

Lu Guanlan couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Today's Zhongyuan Festival, according to the customs of Dachengguo, Zhongyuan worships ancestors, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty want to go up the mountain to worship with the father and son of the heavenly family, and this is not until the evening, Lu Bingyan will not be able to come back.

Steward Zhao was also a little embarrassed because of this.

If the lord is in the house, such a thing, naturally go to report to the lord, and wait for the lord to decide.

But today's lord happens to be not in the house, although the eldest lady can now make decisions about her own affairs, but in the end, in addition to the eldest lady, there is also a terrible Aunt Song.

If he agrees to the eldest lady's deeds, which makes Aunt Song displeased, and when the master comes back, then Aunt Song blows the wind in front of the master, then he is the only one who suffers.

Lu Guanlan looked directly at Steward Zhao and said, "It can be seen that Steward Zhao is embarrassed this time, but this matter is not a difficult matter, let alone an unsightly thing, Rao is father is here, and he agrees." If Steward Zhao feels embarrassed, then wait for my father to come back, and I will personally go to my father and say that is, you just let the Taoist chief I invited in today. ”

Steward Zhao frowned, "This ······"

Ah Li stepped forward, took out a bag of money from his sleeve, and stuffed it to Steward Zhao, "The master is not in the house today, and Steward Zhao should go out to eat and drink." ”

Steward Zhao was used to receiving Lu Guanlan's silver, and when he saw Ah Li stuffing money again, he naturally did not refuse.

Hurriedly took the money bag, and thanked Lu Guanlan for his kindness, but said that although Lu Guanlan was relieved, the people invited from outside would be invited into the door.

Although Lu Guanlan had tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

In the Nixuan Pavilion, Song Yuemei just wanted to call Lingxiang, so that she could call the cheap maid of Chuyu again.

saw Lingxiang hurriedly enter the door, and when she arrived, she said, "Auntie, I heard that the eldest lady is going to do something today." ”

Song Yuemei's face sank, "What did you say?" ”

Lingxiang was a little hesitant and said, "Fang Cai······ The slave and maid listened to the girls, and ······ today Today, the eldest lady is going to do something for the eldest lady. ”

Song Yuemei's hand holding the teacup shook.

Rituals? This is good, what does Lu Guanlan, this little slut, want to do?

Thinking about it, Song Yuemei said: "Isn't it just a Dharma matter, what's the fuss, why are you so flustered." ”

Lingxiang said, "I heard that the eldest lady ······ She invited a long-distance chief. ”

As soon as she heard this, Song Yuemei's teacup almost couldn't hold it, and people were even more stunned on the spot.

After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Lingxiang and asked, "Do you say it again?" ”

Lingxiang snorted: "Auntie, I heard that the eldest lady invited a long-distance chief. ”

This time, Song Yuemei's hand finally let go, and the teacup fell and shattered to the ground.

Seeing Song Yuemei's complexion, she suddenly panicked, and Lingxiang comforted her on the side: "Auntie, don't worry, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

Song Yuemei shook her head, "No, it won't be a coincidence." Isn't it time for the long-distance governor to leave Kyoto? What's the matter, you can still be found by Lu Guanlan," said Song Yuemei as she stood up, "Lu Guanlan won't be us, right?" ”

Lingxiang said: "Come to think of it, the eldest lady won't." ”

Song Yuemei also remembered that when she invited the chief of the distance to come, Lu Guanlan didn't know that the chief of the distance left that day, and Lu Guanlan couldn't know the identity of the chief of the distance.

But if he didn't know, how could he be invited again today?

Is there such a coincidence in this world?

But even if Lu Guanlan didn't know, the long way chief knew about the Lu family, why would he come again?

Could it be that Lu Guanlan knows something? Or is it that today's incident was done by Lu Guanlan in collusion with the elder of the distant road?

Thinking of this, Song Yuemei shook her head busily.

No, if Lu Guanlan really knew something, how could he not say it to the master.

This old man was fine when he went out today, and it must be nothing.

At this time, I suddenly heard Zhou Susu's voice outside the courtyard - "I heard that the eldest lady is going to do a ritual in the eldest lady's courtyard, can Aunt Song go and take a look?" ”
