Chapter Eighty-Eight: Looking for a Reason to See Her
Tang Niangzi really stayed in Mo Yuanju on this day and did not go back.
It's just that Qingyuan didn't return to the mansion today, and Lu Yan also came back later than usual because he first arrived at Zhan Shifu's house.
When the lantern was in hand, Qingcheng commanded the little maids in the courtyard to light up the lanterns one by one, and Tang Niangzi was still sitting in the corridor with her feet crossed, and praised it: "If you want to say that my favorite is the red lantern in this house, the palm lantern at night, red and red, it is really beautiful." ”
Qingcheng ignored the Tang Niangzi who had nothing to say, and only turned his head to greet a young man who had just left his head to wait for Lu Yan outside the second gate.
Seeing that Qingcheng didn't speak, the little guy who lit the lamp had no choice but to laugh and said: "That's it, the lady said it, this Jingzhong Mo said that this noble family, even ordinary people are afraid that they will also order lanterns all over the courtyard." ”
Qingcheng glanced at the little guy and snorted coldly: "Do your thing." ”
The little guy hurriedly shrunk his neck, answered in a low voice, and didn't dare to look at Tang Niangzi again.
Tang Niangzi snorted twice, knowing that Qingcheng didn't want to see her, so she didn't say more, and stared at the lantern under the corridor in a daze.
Lu Yan got out of the carriage and walked to the second gate, and saw the little guy in the courtyard running over.
The little guy saluted Lu Yan, and said in a crisp voice that was still immature: "Childe, the Tang lady in the eldest girl's courtyard is waiting for you in our courtyard." ”
Lu Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and soon showed the same smile as before: "Oh? What is Tang Niangzi doing in our courtyard? ”
Lu Yan said this, but his pace sped up a little.
The little guy trotted two steps: "If you go back to Gongzi, the little one doesn't know what Tang Niangzi is doing here, but Tang Niangzi has been waiting for you in the courtyard for a whole day, and even lunch is used with Brother Qingcheng in our courtyard." ”
"Oh?" Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, these two people were not used to each other in the past, but now they have been together for a day, it seems that something is wrong over there.
Lu Yan didn't ask any more, but his steps were more urgent, but he entered the Moyuan Residence in a few breaths.
Tang Niangzi sat under the porch of the main room, and at a glance saw Lu Yan walking in in an official uniform.
She was excited, and immediately jumped up, and rushed to Lu Yan's body in a few steps, and before Lu Yan could react, she knelt in front of Lu Yan with a bang.
Lu Yan was nothing, but the seven or eight-year-old guy beside him was really taken aback, covering his mouth and retreating several steps in a row before he could stand firmly.
When Lu Yan saw Tang Niangzi's reaction, he already understood a little in his heart.
He waved his hand to the little guy behind him with a calm face: "You go down first." ”
The little guy didn't dare to delay, bowed his head and said yes, and hurried out.
At this time, Qingcheng also came out of the house, and when he saw Tang Niangzi kneeling in front of Lu Yan, her face became extremely ugly.
He walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Niangzi's shoulder: "What are you doing, it's not messy enough, is it?" ”
Tang Niangzi avoided Qingcheng's palm with one side of her shoulder, she stubbornly held her head high, but her eyes didn't dare to look at Lu Yan: "Son, subordinates ......"
Before she finished speaking, Lu Yan walked past her and walked straight to the main room.
"Qingcheng, change my clothes for me."
Qingcheng answered yes and hurriedly turned around and chased after him.
Tang Niangzi didn't dare to get up, she glanced at the empty courtyard, gritted her teeth, turned around, and knelt upright in front of the position of the main room.
Qingcheng entered the house, Lu Yan had already stretched out his arms and waited, he pursed his lips, but in the end he still didn't speak, and silently changed the official uniform for Lu Yan.
Lu Yan changed into a half-worn plain shirt and walked straight outside.
Qingcheng didn't dare to ask more, so he just followed behind Lu Yan with his head down.
In the courtyard, Tang Niangzi's back was straight and she knelt very upright.
But Lu Yan didn't even give her half a look, and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Qingcheng glanced at Tang Niangzi, and didn't dare to ask more, so he followed Lu Yan out of the courtyard.
Lu Yan bypassed the garden and walked straight to the inner courtyard, and finally stopped outside the door of the Compassion Courtyard.
When the mother-in-law guarding the door saw Lu Yan, she hurriedly greeted her, and saluted Lu Yan with a smile: "Young Master Yan is back, and the old lady is still asking about you." ”
Lu Yan nodded slightly: "Recently, there have been too many miscellaneous things in the mansion, and I came back a little late, so the old lady is worried." ”
While guiding Lu Yan, the woman replied with a smile: "Young master, your business is the most important. ”
While speaking, he had already arrived outside the main room, and the mother-in-law who was waiting in the courtyard saw Lu Yan coming, and hurriedly bowed back through the window.
Before the words fell, Zhou's mother lifted the curtain and greeted her: "Young Master Yan came at the right time, and this dinner will be served." ”
Lu Yan bowed into the main room, and in the west room, the Xie family, the Chang family, the Zheng family, and several brothers were there.
Lu Yan greeted everyone one by one, and then sat outside.
Long is not there.
Lu Yan looked around the room, but lowered his eyes quietly.
Old Madam Su saw Lu Yan's thoughts, chuckled lightly and smiled at Mother Zhou behind her: "Sister Man'er's food can be delivered?" ”
Mother Zhou hurriedly bowed down and replied, "It has already been sent over, and the big kitchen has specially ordered pork rib soup to send over, you just have to rest assured." ”
Xie Shi on the side heard Mrs. Su mention Su Man, and the look on her face was a little unnatural: "That girl has caused such a big disaster, you should punish her, but now you are still thinking about it like this, and your daughter-in-law really feels sorry." ”
Mrs. Su waved her hand: "It was also my fault yesterday, Sister Man'er was raised by me since she was a child, and she knelt so coldly for so long, no wonder her body couldn't stand it, alas, ......"
Old Madam Su sighed as she spoke, her expression obviously a little depressed.
Xie Shi hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't say that, she will be punished for doing something wrong, and she will have a long memory, besides, my daughter-in-law went to see it today, she is alive and kicking, I think I can come to you early tomorrow morning to say goodbye." ”
Old Madam Su turned her head to look at Lu Yan and asked softly, "I am the closest to you on weekdays, what did she say to you yesterday?" ”
Lu Yan raised his eyes when he heard this, and replied with a smile: "Old lady, you don't have to worry, I told my junior yesterday that she already knew that she was wrong, and she also knew your intentions, old lady, but she just made you angry, please forgive me." ”
When Mrs. Su heard this, her eyes turned red instantly.
She let out a long sigh and put down the silver chopsticks in her hand.
With her movements, all the people at the table put their chopsticks and looked at Mrs. Su quietly.
"Old lady, you have dinner first," Lu Yan looked at Old Madam Su, and his tone was very soft, "If you don't worry, after dinner, the juniors will go over and take a look at the man." ”
Old Madam Su was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Then there is Brother Lao Yan." ”
