Since the last time he saw Lu Youzhen, Zhou Hao thought that he had moved him, but who knew that he didn't see any news from Lu Youzhen's side.

On the contrary, a few letters came from the capital asking him why Lu Youzhen hadn't gone on the road yet, and Zhou Hao swore from the beginning that he would definitely go, and he began to beat the drum in his heart.

During a meeting with Master Su, he deliberately knocked on the side, but saw that Master Su didn't know anything about Lu Youzhen's going to Beijing, and if such a big thing was really decided, it would be impossible to hide it from his father-in-law.

Governor Zhou panicked, but he promised to persuade Lu Youzhen to go to the capital. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, if there is no movement after the New Year, I am afraid that I will not have good fruit to eat.

Zhou Zhifu thought about it for a long time and decided to go to the Lu family again. It's still in the guest room where we met last time, but this time only Lu Youzhen came to see him alone.

"Lord Zhou, don't come to harm," Lu Youzhen squinted and smiled and greeted him, Zhou Hao was anxious, and asked him directly how he planned after a perfunctory sentence.

Lu Youzhen had already guessed his intention, and was not in a hurry to answer, slowly blew the tea cup cold, drank a few sips, and waited for a cup of tea to bottom, before he sighed with a smile: "Lord Zhou really cares about Lu." ”

"Where is the second son, he also wants to share his worries for his mother, and this is also a good thing for the second son,"

Zhou Hao continued: "If you assist the Seven Princes to inherit the throne in the future, you don't say that one person is above ten thousand people, at least it is indispensable to be a marquis and worship the prime minister."

"I know you don't like to be famous, but the second young lady was born in a business, and there are many people behind your back who say that the Su family climbs high branches, you should think about the second young lady if you don't think about yourself, and wait for the second young lady to be added, who dares to underestimate the second young lady."

"Neiko doesn't care about this, and I don't think the Su family has anything to climb, I'm a commoner, and it should be me Gao Pan to marry the daughter of the richest man in Sifang City," Lu Youzhen replied solemnly, "However, what you said makes a lot of sense, I did feel moved by this——"

Zhou Hao's heart lit up with hope, but he listened to him continue: "-But I still don't want to go to Beijing, there is no reason, I just don't want to, everyone has their own ambitions, I hope Lord Zhou understands, and I will repair the book and explain it on my aunt's side, and it won't make it difficult for adults." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Hao to speak, he asked Lu Feng to send him out and went back to Momei Courtyard by himself. Zhou Hao looked at the departing back with a bitter face, and said in his heart how can he deal with it now.

When Lu Youzhen returned to the main room, he thought that he would see Su Xi, who was lazy and lazy lying on the couch with a stove, but he didn't expect to see her dressed up and sitting on the upper seat as soon as she entered the door, and it was Mama Yu kneeling at her feet.

At first glance, Lu Youzhen really didn't recognize Mama Yu, she was much older, her face had a lot of wrinkles, and her originally black hair had become more and more gray, which showed that she hadn't maintained much during these days.

Mama Yu also wants to continue to raise her, even if she is just a little slave, she also wants to be a beautiful woman, but reality does not allow it.

Since she was driven home by Lu Youzhen to be raised, the various treatments of food, clothing, housing and transportation have not been reduced, but she has also become a dazed woman who eats, sleeps, sleeps, and eats.

This is really unbearable for her, who is used to calling for wind and rain in Momei Courtyard, not to mention that there are many speculations about her leaving Momei Courtyard, and there are all kinds of rumors.

What she can't stand the most is Poplar's attitude, although she thinks that Poplar is selfish as her goddaughter, she really cultivates her as her own daughter, and she gives all her love to Poplar.

But Poplar now looks at her with resentment and resentment, in fact, she has seen Poplar's husband, who is an honest and diligent man, although he looks unsatisfactory, but Poplar is gentle and considerate, and he is a man who can live a good life.

But Poplar's heart has been raised by her, where can she see such a mediocre husband, making trouble at her in-law's house every day, and then going to her to make trouble after the trouble, what can she do? She had to use her possessions to make up for her debts, which she had done herself!

Mama Yu cried bitterly in front of Su Xi, she no longer had the pride of the past, she cried and said that she had repented, and begged Su Xi to take her in again, Su Xi was a little unbearable, and turned her head to look at Lu Youzhen.

Mama Yu knew at a glance that whether she could stay or not depended on Lu Youzhen's words, so she threw herself at Lu Youzhen's feet, pulled the hem of his clothes, cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken, and she said while crying:

"Childe, the slave knows that she is wrong, please forgive the slave and the maid. The slave maid has been serving you in the Momei Courtyard since you were six years old, and you are used to adding tea and lamps to you, and you still remember that you love to eat the sauce-flavored pork ribs made by the slave maid.

"Childe, you just let the slave and maid continue to serve you, even if you are a cook, the slave and maid are willing, please keep the slave and maid."

In the end, Lu Youzhen couldn't bear to listen to her crying so badly, and seeing that Su Xi was not unhappy, he nodded in response.

He said to her again: "Mama has taken care of me for many years, I originally wanted to let Mama enjoy her old age in peace, since Mama wants to go back to Momei Courtyard, then stay by the side of the second young lady to serve, and serve the second young lady well in the future, if there are more ideas, I will not forgive." ”

"Yes, yes, the slave and maid don't dare, they will serve the second young lady well, and they will never disobey." Mama Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

When Mama Yu went down, Su Xi, who was sitting precariously, was like a deflated ball, and suddenly collapsed on the chair, she was now really favored by Lu You, and she had long lost the tenacity when she was learning etiquette, and it was the norm to sit or not.

"It's over, I'm going to be raised by you." Su Xi leaned on Lu Youzhen, hugged his arm and complained.

"How can I ever raise you," Lu Youzhen defended, "I urge you to practice calligraphy and sword practice every day, and I have never taken care of your business affairs for you, so why did you raise it?" ”

"It's so comfortable in your arms, I don't want to move." Su Xi said it rightly. Lu Youzhen touched her face helplessly, and he was convinced by this reason.

Su Xi smiled before asking him, "Did the Zhou Governor come to ask you to enter Beijing again?" ”

"Well," Lu Youzhen nodded, "I directly refused." Oh, by the way, I have to write a letter to Beijing so that I can tell that aunt in person. ”

Lu Youzhen got up as he spoke, took out the four treasures of the study, spread them on the table and began to write a letter, Su Xi watched from the side, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "If you refuse so bluntly, you won't offend Concubine Zhen." ”

"Do you have a better reason?" Seeing Su Xi shaking his head, Lu Youzhen said again: "Then it's better to be direct." ”

"You said before that Concubine Zhen rarely sent people to contact you in the past, why did she suddenly call you to Beijing? Looking forward to it, is there something big happening? ”

"I don't know, I carefully screened the news in Beijing again, and there is nothing suspicious, maybe it's just a temporary idea," Lu You really guessed, but he didn't plan to tell Su Xi because he wasn't sure.

Lu Youzhen put the written letter into an envelope and asked Lu Nian to send someone to the capital, remembering that Lu Feng told him that someone was suspected of being watching them recently.

He said to Su Xi again: "No matter what the reason is, it will not be a good thing for us, I have asked Lu Nian to strengthen the guards, if you go out, remember to bring a few more people." ”

"What will happen?"

"Nothing, just in case."
