Seventy-four, gifts

"By the way, I see that you don't seem to be as close to Lizhu as you used to be these days?" Ye Lu'an just asked indifferently, but Tong Shuang frowned, and whispered: "After all, it's not my own person, and I really don't dare to trust her." ”

"What's wrong?"

Tong Shuang smiled and said, "These are all women's affairs, you don't have to worry about it, focus on what you should do." ”

Ye Lu'an nodded, and then heard footsteps approaching, and Chunwen's voice came from a moment: "Is Third Young Master Ye here?" My lord is invited. ”

After hearing this, Ye Lu'an and Tong Shuang looked at each other and smiled, this time, they won the bet.

They all pretended not to know first, and when they thought of this, they went to call Wang and the others, and when they were all seated, Wang Qianqun asked curiously: "It's getting dark so fast, Master Lu sent us over for dinner, but it's dark." This is to say that the Lu family is not particular about inviting dinner, and sure enough, Mrs. Lu, who learned the inside story, is already a little unhappy.

Tong Shuang hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Shuang'er, thank you Madame for your hospitality." Wang Qianqun only thought that this person was a sycophant again, and she was a little sleepy, so she didn't bother with her.

Mrs. Lu finally softened her expression. Mrs. Wang was originally having dinner with her son Ye Luying, but she was forced to invite them over when she was included in the painting, and she thought something big had happened, so she hurriedly came, but they were silent and no one would speak first. Mrs. Wang was a little inexplicable, thinking that nothing major had happened, so she was polite to everyone a few times and was going back. Ye Luying also stood up and said that she wanted to go first with Mrs. Wang, but was stopped by Master Lu with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, please take a seat, Lu has something to say." ”

Mrs. Wang didn't care about anything else, but she couldn't be rude at the moment, so she sat down again, smiled and nodded.

"Although I am Liufang's own brother, I am also familiar with everyone here." Master Lu smiled first, glanced at Ye Lu'an and said, "Earlier, I took Lu Sheng south, and on the way back, Lu Sheng told me that in fact, Third Young Master Ye is a talent. I didn't believe it at first, but yesterday I went to Lu An for a detailed discussion, and I realized that what I said was true. ”

Ye Lu'an knew that Master Lu had said the time in advance to avoid suspicion, so he said humbly: "Thank you uncle for your appreciation." ”

Lu Qing was also puzzled by most people's listening, he looked at his wife, and Qiao's was also puzzled.

"You don't have to be modest, your every opinion is very unique and novel, but it's not empty talk, you have your own ideas and measures, these are very good," Master Lu said with a smile: "It just so happens that I have a grain shop in Lianghe Town, and you also know that I don't run this shop to make money, but to think that I can help as much as I can in troubled times, and I can also accumulate a little yin virtue for myself." ”

Speaking of which, at this level, there are already eyebrows, Wang Qianqun reacted, this Master Lu is trying to win over Ye Lu'an! Although it is a little different from what he thinks in his heart, with the support of the Lu family at the moment, it will be much easier to say anything in the future, and he said with a smile: "Master Lu is benevolent, and they all say that you are a living bodhisattva." "Isn't it a bodhisattva? I was worried that the Wang family was not enough to fight with Mrs. Ye, but the Lu family bumped into me impartially.

"Qianqun's words really embarrassed the old man." Master Lu seemed a little ashamed, and said: "Although I opened this store at the beginning to help the world, Shandong is still some distance from Lianghe Town; So I can't go there often, and how do I know that the shop is getting more and more withered in these days? ”

Ye Lu'an persuaded: "Don't blame my uncle, my uncle has a lot of subordinates to manage personally, and it is reasonable to neglect one or two." ”

"Everything else can be neglected, but this matter concerning the people cannot be delayed, and I must arrange some people to go over immediately, otherwise I can't afford to deal with something happening." Master Lu really seemed to put people's livelihood in the first place, and sighed.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Ye Luying, smiled slightly, Mu Zhi stood behind and scolded hypocrisy, she had followed Mrs. Wang there to buy millet for porridge, although the rice was good, the price was amazingly expensive, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford to eat.

Master Lu suddenly said: "So, I plan to hand over the grain shop to Lu'an!" ”

Everyone was shocked, Ye Lu'an's heart was also a little up and down, fortunately, Tong Shuang first pushed behind him, and then came back to his senses, and excused himself: "No, where can Lu An take over at will, if one accidentally ruins his uncle's hard work for many years, Lu An will not be able to escape the blame." ”

"Don't worry, I have been thinking about this decision for a long time, and I told you that I wanted you to give it a try...... Young people. Master Lu smiled indifferently.

Ye Lu'an turned his head sideways and looked at Mrs. Wang, this kind of big thing still needs an elder to watch, although Mrs. Wang is all about her own son, this process is indispensable. Wang Qianqun hurriedly urged Mrs. Wang to answer with her eyes.

In fact, although Mrs. Wang wants to open a lot recently, but keeping Ye Luying and keeping herself can't be confused, Ye Lu'an is very appreciated by Master Lu, so at least he will have someone to rely on in the future, so naturally he readily agreed, and did not forget to persuade: "Lu'an, it is your blessing to be favored by Master Lu, and I want to come to Sister Lin to be happy for you in heaven; Don't let down everyone's expectations of you. ”

In this way, Tong Shuang and the others thanked Master Lu, and there was no need to eat the meal, Master Lu only left Ye Lu'an and Lu Qing to talk secretly, Ye Luying sent Mrs. Wang back, Mrs. Wang was not worried about Wang Qianqun's body, so she sent Mu Zhi to follow.

Tong Shuang didn't bring Lizhu when he came, Lizhu came back from the kitchen to eat, saw that the yard was empty, thought that something big had happened temporarily, so he came out in a hurry to find someone, and happened to meet him halfway.

"Lizhu to the third young grandmother to say goodbye." When I saw Wang Qianqun, I still had the number of courtesies I should have.

Because Ye Lu'an is now considered to have a good face, Wang Qianqun couldn't help but show that arrogant appearance again, snorted coldly from her nostrils, ignored her, and went straight away. Tong Shuang didn't say anything, only said, "Let's pick a small road to walk." ”

At night, there was a cold wind blowing from time to time, Tong Shuang seemed to have something on his mind, the hair behind him was a little messy, and he saw that the bun had hung down. Lizhu didn't dare to say anything, and followed carefully, always on guard against the jade hairpin used to fix her hair falling off.

The master and servant didn't speak, Tong Shuang went back to the house and waited for Lizhu to make the bed and then went to sleep.

Lizhu didn't know what had just happened, and asked a few people from the Lu Mansion who were keeping vigil, but he couldn't ask specifically, thinking that he had just seen Mu Zhi, he whispered a few words of "Shuangniang", but no one answered, thinking that he was already asleep, so he put his heart down and went out.

Between the layers of bed curtains, Tong Shuang opened her eyes.

Lizhu went out, saw some light in Mrs. Wang's house from a distance, so he approached, heard footsteps coming, Lizhu hurriedly hid to the side.

The door opened, and the person who came out was Ye Luying.

Mrs. Wang thought that she was too sleepy, so she only asked Mu Zhi to send people out, only to see that Ye Luying had already walked away, Mu Zhi was still guarding the door, Lizhu took advantage of the light of the lantern to see it was really real, the kind of thing that was revealed from her eyes and was exactly the same as when Shuang Niang looked at the third young master.

It turns out that there is such a thought! Lizhu couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, walked out quickly, and called: "Sister Muzhi, Sister Muzhi will close the door later!" ”

Mu Zhi saw that it was Lizhu, and her face was straightened, and she said: "Death, Mrs. Wang has already fallen asleep, Mrs. Wang has been tired these days, and it is easy to fall asleep." ”

Lizhu covered her mouth in fright and whispered, "Look at me so recklessly!" ”

Mu Zhi didn't want to say much, so she retreated to the courtyard and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" If it doesn't matter, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

Lizhu planned to come first, so he smiled quite meaningfully: "I heard that it is becoming more and more common for this monk to return to the world, and he also said that after returning to the world, he can not only continue to practice while still being vulgar, but also marry a wife and have children. ”

"Oh?" Mu Zhi's expression was faint.

Lizhu thought that Mu Zhi was shy, so he simply said it bluntly, and said: "If the second young master is still vulgar, maybe, he will fall in love with Sister Mu Zhi at a glance!" ”

How do you know that this sentence just poked the pain in Mu Zhi's heart, Ye Luying's attitude had already told him before, no matter what, he had seen through the red dust, even if it was still vulgar, it was for the mysterious woman who had made him haunted by his dreams...... In this way, I felt that Lizhu's words were full of sarcasm, and I said unhappily: "They all say that there is something to say, if you say this kind of thing again, then leave quickly!" ”

Lizhu was a little dumbfounded, could it be that this Mu Zhi really didn't like the second young master? I felt very embarrassed in this way, but I thought that if I missed this opportunity, I was afraid that I would not find another opportunity to know what happened at night, and in this way, I would live up to Old Madam Ye's expectations for her. Thinking about this, I could only be cheeky and asked: "Alas, I am actually worried about Shuangniang, seeing that she didn't speak after she came back, she was depressed, did she suffer any grievances?" ”

"Hmph," Mu Zhi looked at Lizhu with a sneer, and said, "Depressed? Isn't she overjoyed? ”

Lizhu recalled Tong Shuang's abnormal reaction, and could only ask again: "However, Shuangniang seems unhappy, Sister Muzhi, I am not better than you are the personal maid of the ladies, what is the difference between us who serve the lady and ordinary people?" ”

"It's impossible for her to be unhappy, the third young master has a big grain shop with Master Lu today." Mu Zhi tightened her neckline, the wind blew tighter, and the two of them were standing at the door again, and the wind was even stronger than elsewhere.

Lizhu was stunned, "grain shop"? What is this Master Lu thinking? But isn't such a public overture just a clear intention to confront the old lady? also blamed herself for not paying attention to Tong Shuang's actions all the time, knowing that she asked the third young master to go to the old man Lu, and she still didn't believe it, but now she ...... He stomped his feet and said with a shuddering smile: "Ouch, it's so cold that my ears are going to fall off this day, since Shuangniang is fine, then I, the subordinate, will be relieved......"
