"I really didn't expect Mama Yu to be a spy placed by someone else next to Ah Zhen, but fortunately, there is no danger this time, which is really lucky." Lu Xiyuan said.

After Prince Lu left, everyone dispersed, Lu Youzhen and Lu Youze were invited to tea by Situ Lanye, and Su Xi followed Lu Xiyuan to her courtyard.

Su Xi's experience can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from the two heads of the Lu family, it is not surprising that Lu Xiyuan will know about this, looking at her expression, it seems that she really cares about Su Xi's brother and daughter-in-law.

"Yes, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I was a little frightened at the time," Su Xi made a look of apprehension, "Fortunately, they didn't seem to have an ulterior purpose and didn't hurt me, so they gave me a chance to escape." ”

"Xi'er-you don't mind if I call you that," Lu Xiyuan took Su Xi's hand affectionately and asked, Su Xi naturally had no objections, and was about to nod his head, when he heard Lu Xiyuan continue: "Do you know who instructed it?" ”

"I don't know," Su Xi turned his head and shook his head, "After I was rescued by the princess, Mama Yu disappeared, and Poplar was attached to Mama Yu, and she didn't know much." ”

Lu Feng got the news that Mama Yu went to the princess's mansion, so Lu Youzhen also asked the princess to help check the people in the mansion, and learned that there was indeed a woman surnamed Yu who had done work in the kitchen, but she ran away within two days.

Because she didn't lose any property in the house, the housekeeper who took Mama Yu's money and brought her in didn't report it for fear of being punished, and she strictly forbade other people in the kitchen to chew the root of their tongues.

Lu Feng asked everyone who had contact with Mama Yu, but no one knew where Mama Yu had gone, and the clue was broken.

"It's a pity," Lu Xiyuan sighed, "I mean it's a pity that such a subordinate let her run away, she should be caught back and taught a good lesson." ”

The two chatted about some family affairs again, and Lu Xiyuan mentioned the birthday banquet of the princess, so she invited Su Xi to say: "The third day of the next month is my mother-in-law's birthday, although I don't plan to do a big deal, but the royal relatives in Beijing will come, and you should also get to know them." ”

Su Xi didn't refuse, and said to Lu Xiyuan with a smile: "I still have to bother the eldest sister to mention more." ”

"Yes," Lu Xiyuan naturally responded.

There was a maid in her twenties walking outside, and Su Xi knew that this was Lu Xiyuan's personal maid spring silkworm who was married. The spring silkworm entered the door and said, "Miss, the queen has sent someone over." ”

Lu Xiyuan nodded, smiled apologetically at Su Xi, got up and went to the front hall to meet someone. Su Xi sighed slightly when she saw her leave, and took advantage of the gap where no one was paying attention to move her slightly stiff body.

Lu Xiyuan grew up to be an excellent famous lady under the teaching of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, and her every move was generous and decent, and she advanced and retreated in a moderate manner, Su Xi naturally didn't want to fall too far behind, so she had to strictly follow Mama Xu's teachings.

This is undoubtedly a torment for Su Xi, she pretends to enjoy the scenery, and moves her body and bones by the way when she walks around the yard.

The moment of relaxation did not last long, Lu Xiyuan came back soon, the spring silkworm behind her was still holding a wooden box in her hand, she saw Su Xi standing in the courtyard, hurriedly stepped forward to pull her into the house and said: "The capital is not as good as the Sifang City, the spring here is also very cold, be careful of the cold." ”

Su Xi didn't dare to say that he went out because he was too tired from sitting for a long time, so he had to show a polite smile and look at the box in the hands of the spring silkworm with some curiosity.

Lu Xiyuan didn't intend to hide it, took the box and opened it, and saw that the brocade in the box was wrapped in two porcelain boxes, Lu Xiyuan took out one of them and opened it for Su Xi to see.

It was a box of rouge, and the peach pink rouge was pure and translucent, and it was very beautiful.

Lu Xiyuan said: "This is sent by the queen's mother, saying that it is a new concoction of rouge from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the color is very beautiful, so I asked someone to reward me with two boxes, what does Xi'er think?" ”

"It's really beautiful, and my sister must look good when she paints it." Su Xi complimented, but in his heart he thought that the craftsmanship of this internal affairs office was indeed extraordinary, not only the color was good, but the taste was also like a faint peach blossom fragrance.

Lu Xiyuan paused, and then said: "The queen mother also said that this ointment is suitable for little girls-Niangniang has lifted me, they are all mothers, where can I compare to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, I look at Xi'er It is appropriate to use it-

"-I'll transfer this box to you for my mother."

"How can this be done," Su Xi was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is given to my sister by the queen's mother, how can I use it." ”

"What's the matter, the mother is very good, and she treats people kindly, she likes you most like a sensible and beautiful little girl, if she knows that I give you rouge, she will definitely be very happy."

Lu Xiyuan spoke softly, but her movements were resolute that could not be refused, and for a moment, Su Xi thought that it was her mother-in-law sitting in front of her.

In the end, Su Xi still accepted the porcelain box of rouge.

After having lunch in Prince Lu's mansion, Su Xi and Lu Youzhen returned to their house. Su Xi sat in front of the dressing table, his eyes motionless and staring at the box of rouge in front of him.

Lu Youzhen came up and said, "This rouge is in good color, the eldest sister gave it?" ”

Su Xi nodded and said, "The queen gave it to my sister, and my sister transferred it to me again." ”

Lu You really didn't understand the meaning of Su Xi's words, picked up the box of rouge, dipped a little in his hand and said to her: "My family creek must look good when you wipe it, I'll wipe it for you." ”

"What kind of person do you think my sister is?" Su Xi dodged his hand and asked him.

"Don't move, you'll spend."

"Lu Youzhen!"

Seeing that Su Xi was angry, Lu Youzhen stopped making trouble with her, hugged her and said while smoothing Mao: "No matter what the eldest sister was like before, now she is the grandson concubine of Prince Lu's mansion." ”

"What do you mean......" Su Xi fell silent, Lu Xiyuan in Duanrui Hall was gentle and understanding, which made her infinitely favorable, but in the end, she was just a lobbyist for a certain force.

"That's the biggest reason why I don't want to come to the capital," Lu Youzhen sighed, "Everyone here has to play a role that suits their identity and do things that are in line with the interests of the family, whether you like it or not." ”

"The eldest brother and the grandson also expressed the same meaning as you?"

"Well," Lu Youzhen nodded, "There is no doubt that they are the prince's party, and they have no purpose to hide from me, in their opinion, as a member of the Lu family, I am in the same boat as them." ”

"Did you say yes?" Su Xi asked with a frown.

Lu Youzhen shook his head and said: "The battle for the storage position has always been full of bloody storms, and we don't fight for those dragons, there is no need to stand in line, our purpose is just to keep the Lu family and protect our small family, isn't it?" ”

"You're right, so what do I do? My sister also invited me to the princess's birthday banquet," Su Xi asked.

Lu Youzhen smiled and said: "Do what you want to do, if someone tempts or woos, just pretend to be stupid, and I will deal with everything." ”
