"Oh! The county lord and Feng Gongzi, please come with Guan Sheng. Sima Guansheng responded, and asked the maids and daughters to send the luggage to Lichun Pavilion first, and she led the two of them towards Lu's Tingxue Pavilion.

Walking to Tingxue Pavilion, the Lu family, who had not seen Sima Guansheng for many days, as soon as he saw Sima Guansheng enter the door, he greeted the pair of jade hands that grabbed Sima Guansheng tightly and chattered non-stop, completely ignoring the two faces behind Sima Guansheng.

"Guan Sheng, can this trip go well? Look at you, it seems like you've lost weight. Can you say hello to Old Madam Ling on my behalf? You must be tired all the way, right? I'll stay at Tingxue Pavilion for dinner tonight, and I'll order someone to prepare it later." When you were away, your father also missed you very much, and from time to time he mentioned in my ear, 'How long has Guan Sheng been in Yongzhou, why haven't you come back?' 'I've never seen him so attentive to him on weekdays, your father! It's just that the mouth is hard and the heart is soft, and he doesn't care on the face, but he doesn't care in the heart. ”

Sima Guansheng tried to interrupt her several times, but to no avail, and when her excitement eased slightly, Sima Guansheng introduced Liu Yuwan and her son to her.

Sima Guansheng let go of Lu's hand and moved his body away, allowing Liu Yuwan and Feng Bozhong to appear in Lu's field of vision, "Mother, this is the county lord of Yongzhou Palace, and this is his son Feng Bozhong. ”

When the Lu family heard this, she hurriedly saluted and treated politely, she was a virtuous helper, but she couldn't lose face in front of Liu Yuwan, and said with a smile on her face: "County Lord Wan'an!" The visit of the county lord to our house really makes our house shine. The courtiers couldn't meet them far away, and they hoped that the county lord wouldn't blame them. ”

The maids and ladies in the room saw the Lu family making a big salute, and they all followed the blessing to salute.

"Madame doesn't need to be so formal." Liu Yuwan stepped forward and held Lu's hand to help her up, "I take the liberty to come to the door to disturb me, and I hope that Mrs. will not blame my mother and son for being rude." ”

"The county lord is serious, come and sit down." Lu Shi led Liu Yuwan to a chair and sat down.

When she learned of Liu Yuwan's identity, she was hospitable. The busy people made good tea and served pastries with good color and aroma.

No matter what Liu Yuwan means, it is the luck of Sima Mansion to be able to climb such a high and noble family.

Sima Guansheng was also the master, and with an embarrassed smile, he led Feng Bozhong to the guest seat and sat down, and he also sat down next to each other across the desk, quietly watching Lu Shi and Liu Yuwan chatting nonsense.

Lu Shidui said with a smile: "The county lord came today, I don't know what my family Guan Sheng did wrong?" Or is there something else the county lord has sent? ”

Liu Yuwan smiled without saying a word, and moved her gaze to Sima Guansheng.

Seeing this, Lu Shi didn't know whether it was good or bad, and said as if pleading: "If Guan Sheng really has something to offend the county lord, I hope that the county lord will remember her young and ignorant and give her a chance to make amends." ”

"Your girl, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, smart and talented, I like it too late, Mrs. is too worried."

"That's good, that's good. I'm not afraid of the jokes of the county lord, and it's not the courtier's boasting. Guan Sheng is indeed a sensible and reasonable good child, just born, the biological mother died, there is no biological mother to supervise, but she can know herself etiquette, self-understanding. ”

The Lu family is quite smart, and from the eyes of Liu Yuwan and Feng Bozhong, he guessed a little bit of Liu Yuwan's intention to come to the door. With such a good fate, as a housemother, there is no reason why she should not match.

Her praise made Liu Yuwan treat Sima Wansheng even more differently.

Such a woman may not be found with a lantern, this daughter-in-law, she is bound to get it.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that Madame was exaggerating. Liu Yuwan said jokingly.

"Isn't it? Especially the rumors of those small people in the market chasing after the wind and shadows are very annoying, reversing black and white, and there is no credibility. The county lord is deaf and clear-sighted, and he can see the essence clearly. Lu knew that Sima Guansheng's reputation was not good, so he deliberately explained this.

The dialogue between smart people and smart people does not need to be clarified, Liu Yuwan naturally understands the meaning of Lu's words.

What is Sima Guansheng, she really sees it, as for the rumors about Sima Guansheng outside, no matter how bad it is, she will not care, she believes in her own vision.

"I'm a man! Always self-righteous, not swayed by anyone or anything. Madam, I wonder when Lord Fu Yin will come back? ”

"The master went on an errand in another place, and he won't come back in a few days."

"That's it!" Liu Yuwan was a little disappointed, pondered for a moment, took the letter from the mother-in-law who was waiting behind her, and handed it to the Lu family, "This is the letter that Old Madam Ling sent me to Lord Fu Yin, and I ask Madame to hand it over." I hope that Mrs. and Lord Fu Yin will agree on the things mentioned in the letter as soon as possible. It's getting late, so we're going to bother anymore. With that, Liu Yuwan got up slowly.

Seeing this, Sima Guansheng and Feng Bozhong also stood up.

Lu Shi hurriedly got up and stayed, "The courtiers have ordered someone to prepare dinner, if the county lord doesn't dislike the rough dishes, stay and have dinner before leaving!" ”

"No, I just arrived in Luoyang, and there are still many trivial things at home that need to be taken care of. The coming day is long, and I will come to the door another day to ask for food and drink. This is a small gift to Mrs., and I hope Mrs. will not dislike it. Liu Yuwan asked the mother-in-law behind her to carry the two mahogany carved brocade boxes forward.

Lu Shi hurriedly asked the servant to accept it, and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, county lord!" The courtiers are truly deserved. ”

"Madame, you really don't have to be so formal. Isn't it more and more exciting? I had a good conversation with my wife, but I was still unsatisfied, and when I didn't treat anyone, I could only choose another idle day. Liu Yuwan said as she walked in the direction of the door.

"Okay, the courtier's wife will send it to the county lord and Feng Gongzi."

The two laughed and walked in the direction of the gate of Sima Mansion, and Sima Guansheng also followed out out out of politeness.

Sima Guansheng has always kept a distance from Feng Bozhong, Feng Bozhong has a lot of things to say to Sima Guansheng in his heart, but he and Liu Yuwan didn't find a chance until they stepped into the carriage.

The sun was setting, and at this moment, the sky was already a little dark. The carriage drifted away, and was soon swallowed up by the night.

That night, at the invitation of the Lu family, Sima Guansheng stayed at Tingxue Pavilion for dinner.

Fifteen years later, it was the first time she had dinner alone with Lu and Sima Daiyu.

Lu's amiability and Sima Daiyu's innocence gave her the illusion of a family reunion.

"Come, Guan Sheng, eat more, see that you have lost a lot of weight than before you left. It must be in Yongzhou that is not accustomed to the water and soil, and has a poor appetite, right? Lu Shi took a piece of beef and put it on the plate in front of her, and smiled.

"Thank you, mother, it's a little uncomfortable."

"Second sister, where is Yongzhou? Far away? Is it fun? "Sima Daiyu has never been out of the house, and she is very curious about the outside world.

Sima Guansheng muttered and thought for a moment, "It's far away, and it will take about ten days to arrive by carriage." Yongzhou City is very prosperous and beautiful. ”

"I really want to grow up so I can go out and walk. Growing so big, I haven't even been out of the gate of Sima Mansion, I really want to go outside to see, how beautiful is spring outside? What will the lights look like outside? How crowded are the streets outside? Sima Daiyu pressed her chin with chopsticks, looking forward to the outside world.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Shi frowned and said, "Who told you that you were born stupid and didn't let you go out, because they didn't want you to get into trouble." ”

Sima Guansheng had to admit that the Lu family was too harsh on Sima Daiyu and completely deprived her of her freedom.

Sima Daiyu is just simple by nature, born with little contact with outsiders, and has developed an introverted and timid character, what kind of stupid person.

"Do you really want to go out and have a look?" Sima Guansheng asked with a smile.

Sima Daiyu blinked her eyes and nodded in response.

"In a few days, isn't it going to be held at the racecourse on the shore of the Luohe Lake? When the time comes, the second sister will take you to have a good time. ”

"Good! Thank you, second sister! Sima Daiyu was so excited that she jumped up from the stool.

When the Lu family heard this, he almost got up on the case, glared at Sima Daiyu and said angrily: "That kind of place, all the young ladies and young masters of famous and noble families go, either Wen Taowu is strategic, or they are amazingly good-looking, you yellow-mouthed child, don't go to make fun and make people laugh." ”

When Sima Daiyu heard this, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, and she immediately hung her head.

"Mother, I didn't like this kind of lively occasion before, but then I figured it out. Life is short, people live in the world, that is, to see more, walk more, otherwise it will be a loss. Besides, it is not necessarily a bad thing to know more people from high and noble families. Sima Guansheng tried his best to persuade the Lu family.

"Reason is this reason, but ......"

"Oops! Mother rest assured, I will take a good look at my fourth sister and will not let her get into trouble. That kind of place is justified and will not cause criticism. ”

Sima Daiyu also hurriedly agreed: "Mother, I will definitely listen to the words of the second sister." ”

The Lu family is also from the past, how can they not know what kind of gathering it is, it is a kind of large-scale "blind date".

On weekdays, girls from large families rarely show up, and they rarely see their true faces. But it's different to participate in such a party, the people who go are all high-ranking nobles, not in the market, and the girls of each family are no longer secretive, and they will not be called rude if they show their true faces.

The purpose of many high-ranking ladies and young masters to participate in this meeting is to be able to meet the people they want.

The girls knew that they were like prostitutes and prostitutes in the Chu Pavilion, waiting to be caught by others, but they still flocked to it. First, the people on this occasion are all unofficial or rich, and they are not far behind; Second, they are also secretly choosing the right person for themselves, and they are willing to get a good match.

Sima Daiyu is only ten years old, not to join in the fun, but to do more.

Lu Shi looked at Sima Daiyu's expectant eyes, and finally reluctantly agreed, "That's it, you are allowed to be, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and the number of courtesies you should have must be less." ”

"Hmmm! Thank you Mother! Sima Daiyu hurriedly helped Lu's with vegetables as a thank you.

Sima Guansheng was so happy to see her, and he was also happy in his heart.

The three of them were talking and laughing, eating and drinking.

Halfway through the meal, Sima Guansheng suddenly thought of Bihua and Zhengwu, and said with a smile: "Mother, Guansheng has returned safely, it's time to 'return to Zhao', go back later, and let Bihua and Zhengwu come back to return to their mother." ”

"Can those two subordinates still use it easily?"

"Both of them are silent, they are people, and they are really doing things, which is very worry-free."

"There is a shortage of people in your courtyard, so don't let them come back again, stay in your courtyard and serve."
