Chapter 518: Labor
"Then since this is the case, please wronged General Zhu Xiao and go out after us." Qingwan looked at the two of them and smiled.
Lu Xiufang was a little embarrassed, said goodbye to Mrs. Zhu, and hurriedly went out first. Qingwan also resigned afterwards, and Zhu Yan followed closely behind the two.
Mrs. Zhu was not at ease, so she only sent off guests, and followed closely out, until she reached the gate, she let go of her heart, and tears flowed out again: "Pay attention everywhere in the barracks, and you will be back in a few days." ”
"Mother, don't worry!" Zhu Yan smiled: "Two girls, I have written down this kindness!" ”
After speaking, the little guy who had already followed led a fast horse, Zhu Yan turned over on the horse, waved to the three of them, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
Mrs. Zhu stood there and couldn't bear to leave for a long time. Qingwan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Madam, it's not too early, we'll go back too." Today, Mrs. Duocheng is gracious, if you have the opportunity to see Aunt Zhu, say hello for us. ”
Mrs. Zhu came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Thanks to the help of the two girls today, otherwise, this kid wouldn't know how to end." Miss Qing rest assured, if she can see Grandma Zhu, she will definitely bring her words. ”
The carriage was already waiting on the side, and Mrs. Zhu watched Qingwan and the two get into the car, and asked the coachman a few words before going back.
"Sister Xiuwan, why is your face so red?" The car drove out for a while and entered a remote street, and Qingwan asked with a quiet smile.
Lu Xiufang, who had been in a trance, seemed to be awakened when she heard the words, her face turned even redder, and she didn't know what to say.
"Isn't there anything tempting?" Qingwan leaned closer to her and smiled.
Lu Xiufang was ashamed and happy, lowered her head and pushed away Qingjuan, without saying a word.
"Alright, alright, I won't ask you. However, General Zhu Xiao is indeed a rare young talent, and if you want to catch it, you have to have a snack. ”
"What a thing!" Lu Xiufang said: "People are in the limelight, how can I be worthy?" ”
"Not necessarily! Lang has a concubine, what is not worthy? ”
"Sister Fang, if you say that again, I will ignore you!"
"I don't say it, you understand it yourself." Qingwan smiled knowingly, and stopped saying anything.
Lu Xiufang was no longer as cheerful as before, and was silent all the way, just looking out the window in a daze.
The carriage stopped in front of the house, and Steward Ding had already brought people and greeted him with lanterns: "The two young ladies are back?" The young master just said that he would send someone to pick it up! ”
"The young master came back so early?" Qingwan asked a little surprised.
"Yes," Steward Ding said with a smile: "The young master came back very early today, and I heard that the two young ladies went out, so they have been waiting in the study." ”
Lu Xiufang couldn't wait to pull Qingwan and rushed in: "Second brother! I haven't seen you in days! ”
Lu Yanyi, who was reading a book, threw down the scroll, raised his head, and smiled slightly: "Came back so early?" ”
"Let Sister Xiuwan talk to you in a while, we have encountered a story today." Qingwan smiled meaningfully.
When Lu Xiufang heard this, she immediately blushed and said, "Sister Fang is making fun of me again." ”
"Look, I'm embarrassed, and I still say that others are joking!" Qingwan glanced at Lu Yanyi: "Today we saw the little general in Zhu Mansion!" ”
"Oh?" Lu Yanyi was also slightly stunned: "It will take several days for the army to return to Beijing, how?"
Qingwan briefly said about the matter of Fang Cai: "Thanks to our sister Xiuwan, I have helped a lot." General Zhu Xiao is full of thanks! ”
"I won't tell you, it's always not serious!" Lu Xiufang said angrily, then lifted the curtain and ran.
"This girl actually knows how to be shy." Lu Yanyi couldn't help but smile.
"I think it's appropriate for the two of them, and if it can be done, it's a good thing." Qingwan looked at the petite back of the departing and thoughtful.
"It's better to let things go with the flow," Lu Yanyi didn't care too much: "Marrying into the Zhu family, there are many more difficulties." ”
"But" Before Qingwan finished speaking, Lu Yanyi gently covered her mouth: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and today we only talk about our own affairs." You've lost weight. He looked at Qingwan intently, although his face was still expressionless, but his eyes revealed deep worry.
Qingwan smiled sweetly: "Really? I don't think so. And what if you lose weight? There have been many good things in these days. ”
"It's true that there are good things," Lu Yanyi said with a smile: "I guess you know all about it?" It must be that I've been working too hard these days, so I haven't eaten properly, right? ”
"Alright, don't talk about me. I can only shop at home every day, but also have a cook to cook well on time. But you and I are different. What good food can you eat in Asari? You see that your eyes are dark, and you still say that you are not tired? Qingwan looked at his emaciated cheeks, very distressed.
"I've always been used to fighting the sea," Lu Yanyi said indifferently: "How many of the tribulations I have experienced since I was a child are much greater than this?" Three days without meals have been experienced. Although there is nothing to eat in the court, it is all warm fire food sent from the imperial dining room, and it is cold for a long time, but there are so many things that even this cold meal can't be eaten. ”
"When I have time, I will make you something to eat and make up for it." Qingwan was very distressed.
Lu Yanyi smiled playfully: "Really? Is this true? I'm afraid that it will be good to be able to eat it in my mouth in three or five years! You seem to have said it several times, but I haven't seen you actually do it once. ”
Qingwan blushed slightly: "Why haven't you done it?" The grapefruit white fungus soup last time, and the big last time that Fang Sheng Crisp"
"That's for me?" Lu Yanyi smiled: "Don't lie to me, it's obvious that you are greedy yourself, or you made it for Aunt Zhu, and now it sounds so good." ”
"Okay, okay, isn't it just a bite to eat? Is it worth your verbosity? Qingwan said with a smile.
Lu Yanyi looked very aggrieved: "Am I verbose? It's obvious that you're lying, and now no one is allowed to complain. ”
"I won't let you complain!" Qingwan smiled: "Tell me quickly, what happened to the court in the past few days?" I'm thinking about it! ”
"Hey," Lu Yanyi was still aggrieved: "I don't have anything to eat, so I force someone to explain, if I really become the young grandmother of the Lu family in the future, what will I be bullied into?" ”
Qingwan was angry and laughed, and couldn't help but hit him: "Nonsense! ”
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Lu Yanyi looked at the woman in front of her so coquettishly, and her playful thoughts deepened: "It's all fighting, aren't you bullying?" ”
"Say it again" Qingwan was about to stretch out his little fist again, but he was pinched: "I don't say it's okay, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
"In the future, you have to cook me the same food every day, I can't be satisfied with it!"
"Okay, you still have to inch in?" Qingwan tried to break free of his hand: "Don't dream! ”
"Do you say yes? Otherwise, I won't let you go! ”
"Alright, alright, I can't promise it?" Qingwan finally pulled her fist back: "I just have to do it, I can't help it if you're not satisfied, can I still redo it for you?" ”
"That's until I don't eat anymore, and I can't leave a meal behind."
"Well thought!" Qingwan pursed her lips: "I'm going back to my hometown soon, and you'll be counted in the next few days!" ”
"What? You're going back? ”
Qingwan nodded: "Yes, it's already in the depths of winter, and there were many things a few days ago, and I couldn't pull away, so I can't delay it anymore." Otherwise, I can't let go of this heart. ”
Since Mrs. Zhu successfully entered the palace and saw the queen, Qingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now the only thing she is anxious about is to hurry back to her hometown and take her parents out.
"I understand," Lu Yanyi said, "but now I can't get out, otherwise, I will definitely go back with you." I can't rest assured that you're going to be alone on a long journey when it's freezing on this cold day. ”
"It doesn't matter," Qingwan smiled slightly: "Hengzhu has also walked this road, what is there to worry about?" You can't live without you now, and I'll be back soon, and I won't be delayed too long in my hometown. ”
"Or" Lu Yanyi hesitated: "I will find a way to talk to Master Zhu and ask for a few days off to accompany you back."
"No," Qingwan didn't wait for him to finish, and hurriedly covered his mouth: "No, although General Zhu Xiao has won, I know that the Su family will definitely not be reconciled." Now the situation in the imperial court is so complicated and changing rapidly, you must not leave. If you really go back with me, I will feel even more uneasy. ”
Lu Yanyi nodded: "Okay!" Just listen to you. In this way, I will ask Steward Ding to bring a few reliable little guys to send you back, after all, he is older, it is better than just a few hairy boys. ”
"That's fine," Qingwan agreed: "You must take care of yourself, eat on time, and don't be too tired." ”
"Young Master!" Butler Ding's voice suddenly came from outside the window.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yanyi asked out the window.
"Someone from Lord Zhu's mansion said that there is an urgent matter to ask you to go over and discuss." Steward Ding's tone was hurried.
"Got it." Lu Yanyi said as soon as he spoke, and saw Qingwan's worried gaze: "Don't worry, probably for the sake of General Zhu Xiao's return, you have to make careful preparations." I'm going now, you can rest early. ”
Qingwan didn't say much: "Pay attention to everything." ”
In the vast night, Lu Yanyi walked out quickly, and Qingwan stood there, watching his figure disappear completely, before he washed and slept with a heavy heart.
The next day, Qingwan did not go to the shop, but accompanied by Lu Xiufang, went to the street to buy some things, and did not return to the house until dusk.
She wanted to cook a few dishes by herself and eat with Lu Yanyi, but before she could do it, she saw the little maid going back and forth: "The young master stayed in the palace today, he can't come over, and he won't be able to leave until noon tomorrow. ”
