Chapter 28: Temptation
"What? Do you want me to go to Li's house to propose? ”
The Lu family, Lu Zhenghua's mother Qiu Guiling's tone of voice changed after listening to her son Lu Zhenghua's words, she didn't expect her son to hide from her that she found a girl outside, and even had a private meeting with this girl regardless of etiquette.
"What about you...... She...... You don't have that, do you? It's just a meeting, right? ”
In addition to being surprised, Qiu Guiling remembered this incident and hurriedly confirmed with her son.
"Yes, this is not a trivial matter, you treat other girls like this, in case other people's parents come to the door, it is not a trivial matter."
Lu Zhenghua and his father Lu Zongfu usually don't care about family affairs, and usually leave the big and small things at home to his wife Qiu Guiling to take care of, and when he heard her words, he also said.
"Dad, mother, why are you afraid that they will come to the door? This was originally their girl's unobedience to women's morals and actually did such a thing as inducing my brother to have a private meeting, and we didn't ask them to say that it was good for her to bring my brother's reputation badly, and we were afraid that they would come to the door. ”
What is rare is that the people of the Lu family are all there today, Lu Zhenghua's sister Lu Xiuyun pouted and said with a disdainful expression.
"Yes, such a girl...... But really, why is it so shameless? To do such a thing. ”
Qiu Guiling immediately had no good impression of this daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, her daughter was right, this was originally their girl who brought her son badly, if you want to say that you want to go to the door to find an explanation, it should be their Lu family looking for them, her son doesn't know how polite she is, but now she has let their girl take it bad, this must be found by them to ask for an explanation!
"Dad, mother, sister, you are really ...... It's useless, I'm telling you something important right now. ”
Seeing that the family was talking about each other and not getting to the point, Lu Zhenghua was obviously impatient, and unceremoniously interrupted their boundless fantasies.
He is now anxious to settle Jiang Tong's affairs as soon as possible, but he doesn't want to talk to them about these things that he has or not, and he still wants to go out to find Lanyue later, although the thousand taels of silver are not as much as the last time, but he thinks that as long as he gives a little less when rewarding, it should still be enough.
Thinking of Lanyue's charming gesture, he longed to see her right now, and he was even more impatient with his parents and sister.
Seeing his son say this, Lu Zongfu said that he had made an appointment and left, these things should have been taken care of by the woman, and he had nothing to worry about.
Qiu Guiling originally wanted to tell her son that the family's money was a little tight during this time, and she couldn't spare the money to invite a matchmaker to come to her door to propose marriage, but after nagging a few words, she saw that Lu Zhenghua's face was already gloomy, so she hurriedly agreed to this matter first.
Seeing that his mother agreed to invite the matchmaker to go to Li's house to propose marriage in two days, Lu Zhenghua's face eased, and he took the little servant Luo An out of the door, and went straight to Xiyue Tower in Lanyue, he never cared about such a trivial matter as whether the family had money or not, this is something that parents only have to think about, but it is not that he should be sad as a son.
Qiu Guiling saw that all the kung fu people ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving only one daughter and herself, and she was resentful in her heart, and she was so angry that she didn't take such a big thing as getting married, and pushed it all to her.
The daughter is right, it's all to blame on the shameless who did something to seduce her son, her son has always been very obedient and polite, this is good, so she has to break her head to think about how to find a sum of money to go to her house to propose.
In Li's mansion, Jiang Tong, who was soaking in a beautiful bath in the bathtub, sneezed twice in a row.
"Huh? What's going on? Could it be a cold? There's no reason for that. ”
She felt her body carefully, and felt that her body did not feel any discomfort, so she ruled out this possibility.
"Brother Zhenghua must be missing me."
Jiang Tong, who found the truth, blushed, covered his face with a handkerchief stained with beauty water, closed his eyes, and remembered Lu Zhenghua's handsome face.
Lu Zhenghua, who was hugging the moon and warmth, suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Lu Lang, what's wrong? Isn't it cold? ”
Lan Yue immediately nervously stopped pouring wine in her hand and asked with concern.
"Hehe, nothing." Lu Zhenghua felt Lanyue's concern, and was so moved that he almost wanted to take out a hundred taels of silver, but he had to hold back when he thought that there was not much left.
"It's okay, come, the slave family will give Lu Lang a drink."
Lan Yue rolled her eyes silently, this dirt bun and poor ghost, she was wearing such a low-grade silk gown, but she spent so much silver to come to her, and she didn't know where the silver came from.
But she doesn't care about this, she just needs to use a little trick to make this dirt bun obediently take out all the money on her body, even if it is stealing or robbing, this crime will not be held accountable to her.
To tell the truth, this surnamed Li is too easy to coax, as long as she cares a little and says a sweet word, he will immediately pay for the silver.
It's just that looking at his appearance of making fewer and fewer shots, there should be little money left, and it's hard to say whether there will be a next time after this time.
Thinking of this, Lan Yue quietly rolled her eyes again, and held the wine glass in both hands: "Lu Lang~"
Lu Zhenghua was so angry by her tortuous call that his bones were crispy, and he couldn't bear the embarrassment of having no more silver to dig out, and he had an idea after his eyes turned around, so he cheekily hugged Lanyue's thin waist and asked, "Lanyue, I'm going to go out tomorrow, and I may not be able to come to see you for these two months." ”
"Hmph, sure enough!" Lan Yue snorted coldly in her heart, and praised herself quite smugly: "When did I miss it?" ”
She disdained this poor sour boy with a swollen face and a fat man, but her face was sad and reluctant: "Lu Lang, why did you go for so long?" The slave will miss you. ”
I don't want to, what can I do without money?
Lu Zhenghua said in his heart, looking at Lanyue's sad and reluctant pretty face, he was so sad that his heart was cut, and he was thinking about how to get more silver from Jiang Tong as soon as possible, so that he could come to Lanyue as soon as possible, how could he be willing to let her wait for him for so long? Wouldn't that make her sad?
It would be better if he could get a large sum of money to redeem Lanyue, and only accompany him from now on.
The sad and reluctant Lanyue drank a lot of wine, and soon got drunk, and Lu Zhenghua was reluctant to wake her up, and there was no such forced call to wait for her, so she had to go downstairs to say goodbye to the bustard's mother and take Luo An home.
"Miss, the people are gone." The personal girl Caihe poked her head out of the room to look at it, and came back and said.
"Hmph, that's annoying."
Lan Yue sat up from the bed, her big eyes were bright, and she still looked drunk just now.
…………
"Miss, the master you want has been found."
In Li Han's room, June came in and said.
"Found it?" Li Han was overjoyed, as long as this matter is done, then the burden in her heart can be reduced by half, and the lives of her father and brother can be insured by more than half, she looked up at June who was standing in front of her: "Are they all connected?" ”
"It's all according to Miss's intentions, and he will wait for you at the appointed place then."
June smiled and said that dealing with such things was just a piece of cake for her, and the things that her master had asked her to do in the past were much more difficult than this.
What is rare is that although the young lady wants to do this thing is simple to do, it is the most suitable and effective to use in this matter.
"Miss." June just went out, and May came in again,
"The slave has already sent someone to find out, after receiving the letter, my aunt and grandfather took the widow Zeng Guihua on the road to Jiangling City on the same day, if the road goes well, it is estimated that it will be there in two or three days."
"Well, you've done a great job."
Li Han was in a good mood when he heard this, and sincerely praised May, this feeling of having everything under control is really good.
Since she was reborn, many things have been different from before, and on the surface, they have changed in her favor, which has boosted her confidence a lot.
"Suyu, tomorrow we are going to invite Miss Cousin out for a walk, you can prepare."
She leaned back lazily on the back of her chair and instructed Su Yudao.
"Yes, miss." Su Yu answered, and went to prepare the things that the young lady would use for her trip.
"Ziyun, when you go to Miss Biao, tell her that I will go out tomorrow to buy some fabrics to make clothes, and I will also buy some jewelry, rouge, gouache or something, and ask her if she wants to go with her."
"Yes, miss." Ziyun promised to go out as well.
She thought as she walked, Miss is really, she actually thought of such a reason, where did that Miss Cousin not go when she heard this? If there is a bargain, will she take advantage of it?
"Miss Cousin, the eldest lady has someone come to you."
Jiang Tong was sighing in the room and thinking about how to make money, when Bai Shao came in slowly to report.
"Lady of the Lady? Let her in. Jiang Tong frowned and ordered.
Bai Shao walked out lazily again, leaned against the door frame and said to Ziyun, "Miss Biao said to let you in." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Ziyun to speak, he went in.
Ziyun laughed and followed in, the people in the courtyard of this young lady didn't even behave like this.
"yes, what's my cousin looking for me?"
Jiang Tong stopped sighing and looked at Ziyun.
"Yes, Miss Table, Miss said she wanted to go out tomorrow to buy some fabric and rouge gouache jewelry or something, and asked if you wanted to go along."
Shopping? As soon as Jiang Tong heard the spirit, God really helped her, no, she was worried about the silver, and the opportunity came.
As soon as she straightened up, she wanted to reply that she was going, but she quickly controlled herself again, and looked at Ziyu with a look of embarrassment instead: "Alas, your young lady is also a pitiful, and there is no one to accompany her if she wants to buy something, okay, you tell her, I will accompany her tomorrow." ”
