Chapter 208: It's just a shield
After two days, Mrs. Su really sent Zhou's mother to Lu Yan's house.
Although the people in the Lu Mansion had already been instructed, they didn't dare to show the slightest joy when they thought about their son-in-law's dark face when he talked about it.
After Xiyan saw Zhou's mother, she was even more entangled in her heart, is it too late for her to go back to Ji's Mansion now?
That day, she heard the little girl in the East Courtyard say that not long after she replied, someone from the Bofu came to invite the son over, and the face of the son has been gloomy since he came back, and even the Qingcheng Qingyuan and the two were cautious, for fear that something wrong would anger the son.
Xiyan was also a big girl with a head and a face in the Ji Mansion, and she couldn't see through what kind of things, but Mrs. Su invited her over that day but didn't say anything, and she had some bottom in her heart.
It is impossible to say that she does not have some joy in her heart, a character like Lu Gongzi, even the girls from high-ranking families in the capital will secretly discuss it in private, let alone a girl like her.
But the joy was completely gone on the second day.
On the second day, Lu Yan returned home earlier than usual, and he did not go directly to the study in the outer courtyard as usual, but went straight to the east courtyard.
When Lu Yan came over, Xi Yan was directing the little girls in the east courtyard to clean up the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the begonias planted last year have already smoked green shoots, Lu Yan once explained that the eldest girl of the Su family likes the flowers and plants in this yard the most, so Xiyan is particularly attentive to these flowers and plants.
Seeing Lu Yan come in, the little girls hurriedly stopped what they were doing and saluted him one after another.
Lu Yan didn't look at them, but only bowed slightly at Xiyan: "You come in, I have something to say to you." ”
Xi Yan thought of yesterday's events, and two blush flew on her pretty face in an instant. She answered in a low voice, and then followed Lu Yan into the main room.
Lu Yan entered the main room and waved his hand to drive out all the little girls standing in the room, he strode to the kang near the window in the west room and sat down, and then looked up at Xiyan.
Xi Yan's hands were clenched together, her face was flushed with shame, and she stood in front of Lu Yan with her head down.
Lu Yan looked Xiyan up and down for a while, and then spoke: "I think you understand very well in your heart why Mrs. Ji sent you to my mansion in the first place. ”
Xiyan still hung her head, and it took a while before she answered in a low voice.
Lu Yan chuckled lightly and continued: "You have been in the mansion for a long time, and you should have some understanding of what kind of person I am." ”
When Xiyan heard this, her heart was pang, she hurriedly raised her head, and explained with a little panic: "The maid understands what the son means, although the maid was sent to the son's mansion by the lady, but the maid does not have half a point of thought, and the maid wants to serve the eldest girl well." ”
Lu Yan still looked at Xiyan, and the smile on his face did not change at all: "You have been here for so long, and I also know that you are a duty, but this is what Old Madam Su meant, and I can't refute her old man's face in person, so I can only wronged you." ”
When Xiyan heard this, she suddenly had a little hope in her heart, but she didn't dare to show anything on her face, and only asked with some uncertainty: "Childe, the maid doesn't understand ...... words."
Lu Yan snorted and laughed, and looked at Xiyan again: "You are a smart person, what the old lady means, I think you can also understand it, after all, Manman is still young, if there is no one in my room, the old lady is afraid that she will be at ease with me, so I have to wronged you to be the person in my room." ”
When Xiyan heard this, he only felt that the blood in his heart was surging upward, and finally it all gathered on his face. Qiankun Audiobook.com
Lu Yan looked at her flushed face, chuckled, and then continued unhurriedly: "However, everyone in the house should know that I don't have the idea of taking a concubine, and I just want to reassure the old lady by opening your face, and when the lady enters the door in the future, I will find you a good family." ”
Hearing this, Xiyan's still fiery heart seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, and it instantly cooled down.
She looked at Lu Yan blankly, and only after a while did she say sneeringly: "The meaning of the son, the maid understands." ”
Seeing that she answered, Lu Yan didn't mean to say anything more to her, stood up, went straight out of the west room, and strode outside.
After a few little girls sent Lu Yan away, they saw that Xiyan didn't come out of the house for a long time, and some curious probes went in to look, but they saw Xiyan's eyes were red, and she stood on the edge of the kang in a daze and shed tears.
Those little girls were all shocked, you pushed me and I pushed you, but in the end, no one dared to go in and ask a question, and they shrank back one by one, just as if they didn't see it.
Later, the girls in the east courtyard got the instructions of the housekeeper, cleaned up a small courtyard adjacent to the east courtyard, and sent Xiyan to move in.
The girls and mothers-in-law in the yard don't know what's going on, but when Xiyan gets the blue eyes of the son, she is about to fly up to the branch to be the aunt's wife, and she comes in line to congratulate.
Xiyan was embarrassed to say that he was just a shield, so he could only thank him one by one.
But within two days, there was a mother-in-law who didn't have long eyes and begged for auspiciousness and came to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was originally annoyed by this incident, and coldly watched the mother-in-law laughing and saying auspicious words, and turned his head and blasted people out of the house.
Now the house was completely quiet, and the fool could see that Xi Yan had not yet entered the door, so he made the son unhappy first.
Therefore, when Zhou's mother came over, everyone in the whole house held their breath and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that that sentence would make the son unhappy again and be kicked out.
Mother Zhou was led to the small courtyard where Xiyan now lives alone, smiled and said some auspicious words, and held a few horses of material rewarded by Mrs. Su, and watched the person open Xiyan's face, and then said goodbye and went back.
At night, Xiyan wore a water-red gown, sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, looking at himself in the mirror.
Most of the lights and candles on the desk have been burned, but the small courtyard is still quiet, and there is no sound.
Childe didn't laugh with her, and Childe really didn't want to take her in.
Before tonight, Xiyan still had a trace of fantasy, thinking that maybe Childe was just testing her, testing whether she was really an honest person.
However, the night was already so deep at this time, and no one in the west courtyard came to invite him, thinking that he would have to guard this small courtyard in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiyan sighed lightly, stood up, extinguished the lamp, turned around and got on the bed, and closed his eyes.
In the study room of the West Courtyard, Lu Yan put down the book in his hand and asked Qingcheng beside him casually: "What's going on over there?" ”
Qingcheng understood, and immediately bowed down and replied: "It's already turned off the lights and stopped." ”
Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction, he was still sensible.
