358. A chance encounter at the temple gate
Quan Rou and Begonia watched Lu Shijiu try on clothes, and then accompanied them to talk for a while, seeing that the time was not early, and they couldn't stay any longer, Quan Rou and Begonia got up and said that they wanted to go back.
Although Lu Shijiu was a little lost, he still smiled very sensibly and said thank you to Quan Rou, that little appearance attracted people's affection.
"Nineteen, you're good, my sister will come to see you when she is free." Quan Rou thought of Lu Seventeen, if the kid knew that Lu Nineteen had become so cautious now, I was afraid that he would feel sorry in his heart, right?
Lu Qiqi is a person who likes to solicit everything.
No matter what happens, I like to put it down to myself.
There's no way around that.
She knew so, but she was afraid that she felt more and more that it was her own fault in the bottom of her heart. Because after all, it was Princess Chu and others who made this decision.
Lu Seventeen tried for it, but it didn't work.
Quan Rou still didn't plan to tell Lu Seventeen about this.
lest she herself be frightened, and worry in vain.
Lu Shijiu kept holding Quan Rou's hand until she reached the staircase on the third floor, and under the gaze of Mama Gong, she had to slowly let go of the hand holding Quan Rou.
"Good boy," Kwon Yau half-crouched down and touched her head, "Go back,"
She knew that she could say such a thing for a long time today, and Mama Gong didn't take care of them during the period, all because of the attention of the county lord of Hui'an.
A lot of times, this emphasis is a good thing. But Quan Rou can't let herself mess around. Always know what to do and when.
If it is disgusted by Mama Gong, that is the worst option for Lu Nineteen.
Quan Rou and the county lord of Hui'an's original intention was to make this child's life better, and they did not come to declare war with Gong Mama and others.
What's more, individuals have their own positions. They did this, in the final analysis, for the sake of all the people in the Chu Palace.
You can't judge that Princess Chu and Gong Mama are wrong for doing this. Quan Rou understands this in his heart, there is no such thing as black and white in this world.
Many times, the positions are different, and the things faced are different.
She patted Lu Shijiu, "But you have to eat well and take care of yourself." Sister Yan just went to Kyoto, don't come back after a while, but you are so thin. ”
The two sisters were thinking about each other.
Quan Rou now took Lu Seventeen out to talk about it, and Lu Nineteen held back tears while nodding, "Nineteen knows!" ”
"Girl," Haitang didn't want to interrupt them, but it was getting dark outside, and if they didn't move, they wouldn't be able to return to the Hou Mansion before curfew.
Jinling has been so chaotic these days, and Begonia doesn't dare to ask Quan Rou to walk outside at night.
If something happens, I really can't say anything.
She pulled Kwon Rou.
Quan Rou also knew that she couldn't stay longer now, so she withdrew her hand, and this time she didn't look back, and walked down the stairs with Begonia.
Mama Gong followed them down, and on the top of the stairs, Lu Shijiu led a few low-eyed girls to stand there, and her feet just stepped down, and those girls and mothers-in-law instantly surrounded her, and she couldn't go any further.
Lu Shijiu just supported the railing with both hands, stretched out her head, and kept looking down until she saw the backs of Quan Rou and Begonia disappear, and she was still standing there......
"Miss Wenli, it's time to go in and drink the medicine." The grandmother from Miao Jiang stepped forward, grabbed Lu Nineteen with one hand, and brought the person into the house.
The people present didn't lift their eyes, they were used to it.
Lu Jiu didn't struggle himself, but just let himself be dragged into the house with an expressionless face.
She was pressed down on the chair of the Taishi at the top, and someone immediately brought a bowl full of medicine behind her, and directly took the spoon and fed the medicine to his mouth.
One bite after another, without the slightest intention of stopping.
Lu Shijiu also seemed to have been used to it for a long time, at the mercy of others, with no expression on his little face.
When Mama Gong sent the guest back, she saw this scene, and stepped forward to take her body, "Miss Wenli, the county lord is worried about the girl, and he always calls people to come and see, the girl should also eat well and take care of her body, don't let the county lord worry." ”
These words are cold, without the slightest emotion.
It's not like a subordinate saying something to a master.
But the people present were actually very accustomed to it, and no one showed any surprise at this, let alone stopped it.
No one said a word more.
Lu Jiu just raised his head to look at her.
"Yes," she replied quickly, but without emotion.
Miss Wenli knew it in her heart, and the old slave was relieved. Please also ask the girl to think clearly, the body is her own, you are hungry, injured, and the time to worry about it is still the wife and the master of the sixth room. ”
Lu Nineteen is a person from the sixth room.
"Thank you, Mama," Lu Nineteen replied in a low voice.
Mama Gong snorted, walked over, took the medicine from the old mama's hand, scooped a spoonful of it herself, and handed it to Lu Shijiu's mouth.
Lu Shijiu's body trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to speak, he just took the spoon in his mouth, the medicine was very bitter, very bitter......
Kwon Rou and Begonia had already arrived outside the temple gate, waiting for the coachman to drive the carriage over.
Haitang whispered to Quan Rou, "That nineteen girl, look, it's not at all the same as before." In less than half a month, a seven or eight-year-old child has been raised like this, and the slave and maid look at it and feel pitiful....."
The word pity had been spoken several times by now, but it seemed that she had never been tired of saying it.
Kwon Rou didn't interrupt her, just patted her hand, "Who says it's not?"
When she saw Lu Jiu herself, she was indeed a little surprised.
The child used to be more sensible, but now that he has been recuperating here for a while, he seems to be more well-behaved. Sometimes children are too well-behaved, and it is not necessarily a good thing.
From Lu Shijiu, it is difficult for Quan Rou to see a little bit of a child's appearance.
She's more like a marionette, beautiful, well-behaved, but lifeless.
It looks like he has talked a lot with Quan Rou Haitang, but it's more like he doesn't want the two of them to worry, so he pretends to be lively.
Begonia didn't know much about the inside story, so she didn't think much about it.
It's just that Quan Rou knows so many things, so she can't afford to think about it too much.
Many things, linked together, feel that they are too broadly involved.
"'I really don't know, how can the sixth lady bear to ask the nineteenth girl to come so far to recuperate.' Haitang didn't understand very much, "I sent it over at such a young age, and there was no close girl and wife around me, and the slave and maid looked at it, and those who served were not close to the nineteen girls." ”
It stands to reason that Begonia should be called the girl of Lu Nineteen. But because there are no girls in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and the county lord of Hui'an likes the two Lu Seventeen sisters, he calls them girls.
That's why the begonias have always been called that.
In their hearts, they all regarded Lu Jiu as a girl from the Hou Mansion, after all, the county lord of Hui'an also behaved like that, and they were subordinates, of course, they followed the county lord's preferences.
Quan Rou sighed, "Sometimes it's not the parents' willingness, so the eldest brother family, many things are involuntary." ”
She can only say here, any more, it will be a little bad.
Haitang also understood that the rest of the topic was not something she could touch, so she immediately nodded along with Quan Rou's words, and just wanted to see what was around so that she could change the topic for him, but she caught a familiar carriage at a glance.
"Hey, girl, look," Haitang's eyes were good, and when she saw it, she quickly pointed it out to Quan Rou, "That's our Yuelou's carriage." ”
"Really?" Kwon Rou also looked over. But she couldn't see it as clearly as Begonia.
"Yes, the slave and maid have good eyes, and they will never be mistaken. Look at the carriage specially for the guests," Haitang stood on tiptoe and glanced twice, "The guest, the slave doesn't know much." ”
Quan Rou also squinted for a while, the man was wearing a snow-white shirt and skirt, and he was wearing a huge hat on his head, and he couldn't see his face.
But Quan Rou felt familiar, she patted Haitang, "You go over and ask, but Mrs. Min?" ”
"Yes," although Haitang had never seen Mrs. Min, she still obediently asked.
After a while, I saw that the person who had been preparing to get into the carriage immediately stopped and looked at Quan Rou.
Haitang also walked over quickly and replied to Quan Rou, "Girl, I have asked, it is Mrs. Min who is good!" ”
Quan Rou nodded, it seems that she is still quite accurate in seeing people.
"Let's go over and have a look," Quan Rou walked over with Begonia.
Mrs. Min over there also brought someone to greet her.
"Madam," Quan Rou nodded first, smiling brightly at the "Madame Min".
This Mrs. Min is Princess Lian'an.
"Why did Miss Quan come here?" Princess Lian'an spoke to Quan Rou through a hat.
The two of them found a place with shade to stand, so it wasn't very hot.
"I'm here to do things for the county lord," Quan Rou looked at Princess Lian'an curiously, "Why did you come here?" ”
"I," Princess Lian'an laughed, "I'm here to worship the Buddha." ”
"Do you have something to rely on Heaven for?" Kwon Rou said with a smile.
Princess Lian'an seemed to sigh, "There is no way, sometimes, the right time and place are indispensable." ”
"Madame has a point." Quan Rou also took a sentence.
A smile appeared on Princess Lian'an's face under the hat, "I have to go back, if it's late, someone should be in a hurry." ”
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Kwon Rou, turned around and walked towards his carriage.
Kwon stood behind and watched her get into the carriage.
"Girl," Haitang helped her back to the carriage and sat down, "Is that Mrs. Min the one who came from Kyoto with the second prince and Jia Gongzi?" ”
