Body Chapter 35: Invitations
Yi'er simply pulled Lufu's face and said, "Good Lufu, don't be angry, say it quickly!" ”
Lu Fu shook her head and said, "Why is the master with Zhu Gongzi, this slave hasn't had time to inquire yet!" Miss wants to know, or the slave maid should go and see it now? ”
Yi'er thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, if you want to inquire about the affairs outside your father, you may not be able to inquire about it, you go to the outer courtyard to have a look, if Jin Shan has nothing to do, you let him come to me to talk back and forth!" ”
Seeing that Yi'er was really interested and wanted to know the reason, Lu Fu put a smile on her face, nodded, and bowed to Yi'er before turning around.
Lan Qiao picked up the wolf and handed it to Yi'er, Yi'er didn't answer, a little lazy, and said, "I don't want to write today, you can take this!" ”
Lan Qiao was a little surprised, these days Yi'er insisted on five big characters every day, never stopped, today I didn't write a full one, she lost interest, she looked up at Qing Li, Qing Li shook her head at her.
Qing Li saw Yi'er coming out of the house, hurriedly put down the fan in her hand, followed her, and approached Yi'er's side before asking softly, "Miss, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
Yi'er didn't speak, she was thinking about Zhu Youzhen, the last time she came out of Wanhuazhai, Zhu Youzhen stepped forward to make amends, and there was Li to deal with it at that time, and she didn't care much, but then she remembered that they had just had a conflict with Aunt Tao and Zhu Yuxin in Wanhuazhai, and this Zhu Youzhen immediately came out to make amends, was the action too fast? And Yi'er remembered that Zhu Youzhen came out of Wanhuazhai at that time, and Yi'er thought that this person was accompanying Aunt Tao's mother and daughter to Wanhuazhai to buy jewelry, but now, things may not be like this!
Zhu Youzhen is from Zhu Gui's wife Tian and is Zhu Gui's sister-in-law, and even if Aunt Tao's mother and daughter are favored, they are always just concubines. Even if Zhu Youzhen wants to accompany someone shopping, it should only be his mother-in-law Tian, and that day Tian is obviously not in Wanhuazhai!
But if Zhu Youzhen didn't accompany Aunt Tao's mother and daughter, then why did he appear in Wanhuazhai? Could it be that he just happened to go to Wanhuazhai to buy jewelry?
And Zhu Youzhen, although Yi'er has only met him in a hurry, he always feels that this person's mind is too heavy, the city government is too deep, and more importantly, his every move gives Yi'er a strong utilitarianism, Yi'er even has some intuition that this person just smiles casually, and it has his purpose!
And now that this person has entered the mansion, it seems that he still gets along with his father very happily, what does he want to do?
Soon, Lu Fu led Jin Shan into the East Warm Pavilion.
Jin Shan was only eighteen years old, and he had not been with Du Ziwu for a long time, and Du Ziwu was selected to wait by his side when he was in charge of Jin Shan Mansion, so he specially named Jin Shan for him.
Entering the inner courtyard, Jin Shan kept hanging his hands and bowing his head, and he didn't kneel down and salute until he walked in front of Yi'er.
Yi'er said: "Don't be polite, get up quickly, I called you here to ask my father how he is doing with his busy government affairs these days?" Can you eat three meals a day on a regular basis? ”
"Back to Miss, the lord has indeed been busy these days, and sometimes he will forget to eat, but Mrs. has already advised, and the slave reminds on the side, the lord reads Mrs., and he can always use a little, as for the body, the lord has always been healthy, and he may be a little hot these days, drinking chrysanthemum tea on weekdays, and it is okay to come!"
Yi'er nodded and said, "You follow your father every day, and you need to pay more attention to many things." You are a good errand, your hard work and I are all in my eyes! ”
Jin Shan hurriedly said: "Where is the slave hard? It's all Mrs. Miss! ”
Yi'er asked: "I heard that today is the house where Zhu Gongzi and his father from the prefect are returning today?" ”
Jin Shan said: "Yes." Then he didn't need Yi'er to ask more, he continued, "Outside Beikai City, there are people infected with the plague in the quarantined refugee camp, and the doctors in the whole city have been summoned together by the master, but they have prescribed several prescriptions, but they have little effect. That Zhu Gongzi didn't know where to get a home remedy, dedicated to the master, who knew that under the use, there was a miraculous effect, no, the master was overjoyed, so he brought Zhu Gongzi back, and said that in a few days, the effect of this medicine has been certified, and under the vigorous promotion, maybe the isolation net can be removed, so that those refugees can receive the help of the imperial court, and they will all go home! ”
Yi'er was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect things to be like this, and then she thought that Zhu Youzhen's father was the Tongzhi of Lianzhou, and he had such a strange recipe, so he didn't give it to his father, but dedicated it to the prefect Du Ziwu, isn't this a bit abnormal?
After Jin Shan retreated, Yi'er kept thinking about it, but she couldn't figure it out, and finally she thought that no matter what Zhu Youzhen's purpose was, as long as the prescription was really effective and the people benefited, it would be a good thing.
It's just obvious that Yi'er still underestimated Du Ziwu's importance and love for Zhu Youzhen, and he actually stayed in the outer courtyard that night, drank a few glasses of wine with Zhu Youzhen, and then let him go home.
Naturally, only Yi'er and Li ate dinner in the inner courtyard, Li said to Yi'er that she and Du Ziwu originally planned to organize a grand recognition party for Yi'er, but now that the disaster has not helped, it is really not too big, so after they discussed, they decided to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet at home on the day of the Double Ninth Festival in early September.
Recognize relatives or something, Yi'er is not enthusiastic, in fact, since they came to Beikai, the Li couple did not publicize that Yi'er had just been found, although Du Feiyuan's matter was very noisy, but after all, it was in the capital, and another ten years have passed, and those ladies and ladies in Beikaicheng are afraid that they almost don't know or can't remember the events of the year, so it doesn't matter whether they recognize Yi'er again!
It's just that the Du family is new to Beikai after all, and it is beneficial to hold a banquet and have more contact with the local rich and powerful, and Yi'er does not object to it.
That night, the mother and daughter got together to discuss the list of banquets to be invited, and when Du Ziwu came back a little drunk, neither of them had dispersed.
Du Ziwu was obviously very interested, and when he mentioned Zhu Youzhen, he was full of praise, Yi'er couldn't help frowning secretly, took the tea from Zhihua's hand and handed it to Du Ziwu, and accompanied his parents to talk again, and then retreated from the main room!
Early the next morning, Yi'er and Li were discussing how to start writing invitations, Li knew that Yi'er had been practicing calligraphy, so he decided to hand over the invitations to Yi'er to write.
Since entering Beikaicheng, Du Fu has received a lot of invitation posts, but they were all politely returned by the Li family, only this time, the post was not given to Du Fu, but to Yi'er!
But it turned out to be Yun Xuan's girl, and after going back for a few days, she couldn't help but remember that Yi'er was here, and the Qu family looked at her closely, and she couldn't find a chance to go to Du Mansion to find Yi'er, so she wrote such an informal invitation and asked someone to send it over.
Looking at the invitation card in her hand, Yi'er couldn't help but want to laugh, the Li family was also Wan'er, and said: "Speaking of the Yun family, this girl is also a painful person, since she is in love with you, my mother thinks you might as well go over and run the door, although the Yun family is only a merchant, but the influence in Shilin is not trivial, and the Yun family's family rules are strict, and the children of the Yun family rarely have unlearned and unskilled gentlemen, and it can be regarded as a Qingming family, and you have to have one or two sincere handkerchiefs to hand over to you." I think so, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, anyway, it's nothing to do tomorrow, you can go over tomorrow to have a day! ”
"But, I don't know if Yao'er is free at home tomorrow?"
Li Shi smiled and said, "Didn't you see what was written on her post?" said that her mother detained her in the room and did embroidery work every day, which was really miserable, and she wanted your good sister to hurry over and save her from fire and water! Ouch, this word is used, I feel distressed when I see it, you are a sister, why don't you rescue her earlier? ”
Listening to Li's joke, Yi'er also deliberately made a woman who wanted to save her sister from the dire situation and said: "Okay, Iris'er will listen to her mother's relatives, and go to rescue Yao'er from the sea of suffering as soon as possible!" ”
On the second day, Li had already ordered down, the carriage was waiting outside the weeping flower gate, the coachman and the eight accompanying guards had also packed up, Yi'er had breakfast and Li took Liuying and Qingli out, got into the carriage, the coachman Hu Sanyi raised the horsewhip, and the carriage drove out of the side door.
In fact, according to Yi'er's intentions, he didn't want to bring Liuying out, but Li felt that Lu Fu and the other three girls were newcomers who had just entered the house, and Yi'er was the first time to go out alone as a guest, and it was safer to have an experienced girl waiting by her side, so Li specially ordered Liuying and Qingli to accompany them.
Convection of the warbler, Yi'er originally thought that since she didn't like to follow her, she would find an opportunity to return her to the Li family, but since she guessed that the warbler had that kind of mind, Yi'er changed her mind, she was ready to put the warbler by her side, so she could always pay attention to the girl's movements, so the Li family asked her to take the warbler to Yunfu, and she readily agreed.
As soon as the carriage came out of the gate, he ran into Zhu Youzhen at the door.
Zhu Youzhen came to look for Du Ziwu, but Du Ziwu went to the isolation camp outside the city early in the morning, and when Zhu Youzhen was about to leave, he saw Yi'er's carriage drive out of the side door.
