Lu Xiang'er stood in front of Lu Erniang's door, made a gesture to Lu Hong and Chaoxia, and then changed into a sad expression, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

This made Lu Hong and Chaoxia, who were peeking on the side, want to laugh, but they dare not laugh. Lu Hong thought about it, asked Chaoxia as if talking to himself, and said, "I really don't know what Xiang'er is thinking about all day long, how can there be so many strange behaviors. ”

"She's your sister, you don't know, I don't know." Chaoxia watched Lu Xiang'er enter the room, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. She sighed in her heart, maybe it was because Xiang'er behaved like this that she was so cute.

"You haven't seen Xiang'er's shrewd appearance when you were in Qinghe Village. She resembles my sister somewhat, but she looks a little like my sister. Lu Hong also seemed to have some sighs, so while listening to the movement in the room, he chatted with Chaoxia about Lu Xiang'er. In the room, Lu Xiang'er was standing behind Lu Erniang, knocking on Lu Erniang's back.

Feeling that Lu Erniang was a little relaxed, Lu Xiang'er said softly: "Ah Niang, Mr. Song used to be Mr. Xixi of Xiang'er, and he has helped our family so much. Now that he is injured, I would like to go to Jingshi to visit Mr. Song. My brother also said that he still has a few days to go to his hometown and wants to take advantage of these few days to go to the capital with me......"

"How can that be?" As soon as Lu Erniang heard that Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong were going to Jingshi, she suddenly stood up and looked back at Lu Xiang'er. It can be seen that she looked at herself in surprise, and Lu Erniang's face suddenly became embarrassed. Realizing that her mood was a little abnormal, Lu Erniang turned around again and coughed: "You need to manage the wine shop here, and you also need to brew the soju." If you go to Jingshi, your family will be in chaos. ”

"And your brother. He didn't know how special the imperial examination was this time. In case you don't fall off the list because you don't have time to study, you have to wait a long time to wait for such an opportunity. The more Lu Erniang spoke, the more serious she became, and finally turned to face Lu Xiang'er and said solemnly: "So, neither you nor your brother can go to Jingshi." ”

"That Xiao Wu didn't come for nothing. If he just goes back like this and lets Mr. Song know, he won't be hurt or injured. Lu Xiang'er's expression was really rich, some aggrieved, some sad, and some reluctant.

Lu Erniang looked at Lu Xiang'er's expressions, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Excited, she hurriedly said: "You brothers and sisters stay at home, I'll go to Jingshi to visit Mr. Song." ”

"A-Niang, don't you want to go to Jingshi?" Lu Xiang'er looked at Lu Erniang's eyes full of question marks. Lu Erniang said a little unnaturally: "Anyway, Mr. Song is also kind to our family." Now that he's wounded, we, as friends, should visit him. ”

"That's what A-Niang said." Lu Xiang'er nodded, and then asked, "When is A-Niang going to leave for Jingshi?" ”

"When, it's afternoon now, and I still have to prepare, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning at the earliest." After Lu Erniang said that after going out to Jingshi, she already regretted it in her heart. I wanted to deal with the past vaguely, but she thought about it again. didn't think about it, but Lu Xiang'er blocked her back road and directly asked Lu Erniang to set a time to go to Beijing.

When Lu Xiang'er left, Lu Erniang sat on the bed, thinking that something was wrong. It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Lu Erniang suddenly understood that all this was designed by Lu Xiang'er. Thinking that her daughter was calculating herself, Lu Erniang didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

But thinking about the reason why Lu Xiang'er did this, Lu Erniang's heart was a little strange. Whoever is made peace with outsiders by his own children cannot be treated calmly. What's more, Lu Erniang is still an ordinary person who pays attention to etiquette. Otherwise, Song Yuan wouldn't have worked hard for so long, and he didn't let Lu Erniang nod.

Lu Erniang, who was sitting on the bed, finished thinking about Lu Xiang'er, and thought of Song Yuan again, and remembered the longing eyes he looked at when he left. For a while, Lu Erniang didn't know what kind of feeling she had in her heart, as if she wanted to go to Jingshi, but she didn't want to go. In short, it's complicated.

Lu Erniang sat in the room in a daze, while Lu Hong and Chaoxia listened to Lu Xiang'er narrate what had just happened in the living room. Hearing that Lu Erniang had finally decided to leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning under Lu Xiang'er's calculations, Lu Hong and Chaoxia both looked at her with surprised eyes.

Lu Hong even said: "Xiang'er, that is, you can say that A-Niang agrees to go to Beijing." My brother now understands that it is not an accident or coincidence that you can dislike so much money at such a young age. ”

"Of course it's not a coincidence, it's that Xiang'er really has the brains of a profiteer." Chaoxia said a word that she didn't know whether it was to praise Lu Xiang'er or damage Lu Xiang'er, so she immediately said: "Since my aunt has decided to go to Jingshi, we should now think about what we should do next." ”

Lu Xiang'er, who wanted to have a few words of laughter with Chaoxia, immediately put away her smile when she heard this, nodded and said, "Sister Chaoxia said that it is very true." A-Niang went to Jingshi, and Zao'er had to be by her side. In addition, Xiang'er also wants to trouble Sister Chaoxia and send my aunt to Jingshi, so that I can rest assured. ”

"Xiang'er, Sister Chaoxia and Zao'er both followed A-Niang to Jingshi, then you are the only one in the family, so how can you do it?" Lu Hong is worried about Lu Erniang, and he is also worried about Lu Xiang'er. If Lu Hong didn't know that there were several groups of people near the Lu family, he wouldn't say anything. But now that the affairs of the winery are so complicated, Lu Hong is more worried about Lu Xiang'er.

Chaoxia understood that Lu Xiang'er did this because she was afraid that the other party would be unfavorable to Lu Erniang halfway. But what Lu Hong said was right, he couldn't let Lu Xiang'er stay here. After thinking about it, Chaoxia said in a deep voice: "That's it." I sent my aunt to Jingshi, and Xiang'er and Hong Ge'er went to Jiangling Mansion to live for a while. As long as you hold that still, you believe that even if the other party sneaks in, you won't find anything. ”

"What Chaoxia said is exactly what I thought, brother, you can rest assured this time." Lu Xiang'er smiled at Lu Hong and continued: "Just let me go to Jiangling Mansion to play for a few days." As for the winery, it will open later and close early. Let Uncle Mu Sheng pay more attention, and if anyone makes trouble, go to the official. Although Lord Ye is no longer here, the newly appointed Chen County Ling is also a decent and rigorous person, and I believe he will not ignore it. ”

After Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, they both looked at Lu Hong and waited for his nod. Lu Hong knew that this matter was related to his two closest family members, and he couldn't be treated carelessly, so he sat there quietly, thinking carefully about what was missing.

After a while, Lu Hongcai nodded and said, "That's it, I'll rent two carriages." We'll go out together tomorrow morning, and then we'll part ways on the road. Save yourself from the unexpected. ”

"Well, that's fine. I'll go out and see the people after dark. Chaoxia looked somewhere outside the courtyard and said lightly, "Tomorrow morning, before we leave, I will definitely let them sleep well." ”

After Chaoxia finished speaking, Lu Hong's eyes lit up, and he said very eagerly: "Sister Chaoxia, can I go with you at night?" ”

"It's fine." Chaoxia looked at Lu Hong for a long time before nodding. Chaoxia really wanted to go by herself, but thinking that this was also an opportunity to train Lu Hong, she agreed. Whoever let Chaoxia also teach Lu Hong martial arts can be regarded as half of his master.

Everything was settled, and the sky was getting dark. Lu Erniang also had no intention of cooking at this time, so Zao'er took on this task with all her might. Zao'er's cooking is really average, but the family has something in their hearts, and they don't care, but they don't eat less.

After eating, Zao'er cleaned up the kitchen, and Lu Hong arranged for Xiao Wu to live in a guest room. Lu Erniang took Chaoxia to pack the clothes to be brought to Beijing at the suggestion of Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er asked Lu Erniang what gifts she wanted at this time to give to Song Yuan's family. However, what kind of things have not been seen in a high-ranking official like the Guogong Mansion, and this 'gift' really has to be thought about.

Speaking of which, in the past three years, the Lu family has also made a lot of money. It can be said that it is completely possible for Lu Xianger to count the money until she has cramps. If it weren't for Lu Xiang'er's fear that 'getting rich overnight' would lead to disaster, how could the Lu family still live in this courtyard. Therefore, even if you buy 'thousand-year-old ginseng' as a gift, Lu Xianger can also afford it.

Lu Erniang vetoed it, and took advantage of the fact that the clothes were all packed, and Lu Xiang'er was not allowed to say more, so she and Chaoxia were driven out. Through the door, Lu Erniang only said 'I have my own measure', and then there was no voice.

Lu Xiang'er stuck out her little tongue at Chaoxia, and returned to the living room together. Lu Hong, who had been waiting here for a long time, was very excited when he saw Chaoxia, and asked with his eyes when he would go out. Seeing Lu Xiang'er sighing secretly, looking at her brother's expression, she knew that he didn't like martial arts or literature.

Chaoxia looked at the sky first, and then shook her head: "Don't worry, wait a little longer." These people are divided into two groups and watch over this place day and night. When the night comes, let's go out again. ”

Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong glanced at each other and sat down honestly. If this incident hadn't really happened to them, the brother and sister would definitely think that the family that the gang was watching was hiding some important court criminals, or a cornucopia or something.

Just thinking about it, Chaoxia gestured to Lu Hong. The two of them walked out of the living room one after the other, and jumped out of the Lu family in a corner of the courtyard. Lu Xiang'er was afraid that Lu Erniang would suddenly come out of the room again, so she sat at the door of the main room, looking at the few stars in the sky and looking at Lu Erniang's door.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Xiang'er had already yawned a lot, and her eyes couldn't open a little, so Chaoxia and Lu Hong came back from outside. Seeing that the two of them were safe, Lu Xiang'er immediately turned around and went back to the room to sleep. She didn't notice that Chaoxia and Lu Hong's faces were very strange.

Lu Hong, who wanted to say something to Lu Xiang'er, was stopped by Chaoxia with his eyes, and said softly: "Don't say it yet, it's not a bad thing anyway." When I escort my aunt on the road, you can find a time to talk to Xiang'er. ”

"Then listen to Sister Chaoxia. Sister Chaoxia has to travel a long way tomorrow, so hurry back to the room and rest. Lu Hong nodded, and went back to their respective rooms with Chaoxia.
