Chapter 173: Parting
Zhao Qingliu flashed when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at Lu Yue, lowered his eyes again, and started to scoop a bowl of tofu crucian carp soup for Old Madam Qin.
"Old lady, taste it, this soup tastes good." Zhao Qingliu said softly.
"Hmm~" Old Madam Qin's face softened a lot, she reached out and took the soup spoon, tried to take a sip, and nodded appreciatively.
Lu Yue saw that the two of them ignored her for the time being, so she sat down generously, why didn't she do anything that could make her comfortable?
On the table, Zhao Qingliu took the lead from time to time to chat with the old lady for a few words, and then turned his head to pick up this and that for Xuan'er with a concerned face, that attentive appearance is like a heroine, and Lu Yue is simply a movable set, even the green child behind her secretly shouted for Lu Yue, her eyes were anxious, but she knew that she couldn't help much.
Lu Yue glanced at Zhao Qingliu, and the eyes of the two happened to meet, crackling and igniting a string of sparks.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the table became cold in vain.
She swept the smugness in Zhao Qingliu's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, this woman is really naΓ―ve, even if she really reconciles with Qin Mufeng, it is absolutely impossible for Old Madam Qin to agree to Qin Mufeng marrying Zhao Qingliu.
How could Mrs. Qin, a person who attaches great importance to face and style, tolerate an orphan girl with a declining family to marry into the Qin Palace's mansion as a concubine?
I heard that at the beginning, Qin Mufeng would marry herself, but her father used some special means to make Qin Mufeng feel relieved, for this reason, Old Madam Qin was angry with Qin Mufeng, this Old Madam Qin should feel that she is a daughter of a merchant and is not worthy of her baby son in all aspects, I am afraid this is the reason why Old Madam Qin has always looked down on herself.
Lu Yue thought silently in her heart, and then looked at Zhao Qingliu, her eyes inadvertently brought a trace of pity, this old lady Qin was afraid that she would treat this Zhao Qingliu as half a daughter, and her mind did not think about the private relationship between men and women at all, most of them were thinking about that little bit of nurturing.
I'm afraid that Zhao Qingliu is going to daydream, and he is happy in vain.
Zhao Qingliu was so angry in his heart that he couldn't do it, this Lu Yue was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river himself, and it was difficult to protect himself, and he heard that the subordinates of Qingxi Hall said that this Lu Yue had already ordered people to prepare the burden, and said that he would go back to his mother's house to live for a while.
When Zhao Qingliu heard the news, he happily wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, it was really an eye-opener.
Now I dare to pity myself and look at her with that kind of look.
"Ahem" Old Madam Qin coughed twice, and stood up with Ji Lian's hand, "You guys eat, I'm tired." β
Lu Yue immediately stood up and saluted Mrs. Qin, "Mother, in the past few days, Lu Yue has been thinking about her father and has not slept day and night, so she wants to go back to the house to fulfill her filial piety, and she also asks her mother for permission." β
Old Madam Qin glanced at Lu Yue, hummed softly, and walked away holding Ji Lian's hand.
Zhao Qingliu was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing smugness, "Yo, is the princess going back to Lu Mansion?" "Deliberately bite the word princess very hard.
Lu Yuena didn't know this Zhao Qingliu's thoughts, she just felt that she was afraid that she might not be able to come back in the future, so she deliberately used the word princess to stimulate herself, heh, but in her eyes, she didn't look down on the position of the princess at all, who loved to go.
"Why don't you call me sister today? It's a lot of fun on weekdays. Lu Yue raised her eyes and stroked her sleeves, as if dust had fallen on them.
Zhao Qingliu snorted lightly in his nose, and glanced at Lu Yue with great contempt, "You are also worthy?" β
She was willing to call Lu Yue a sister in the past, but she just wanted to remind Lu Yue that the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and the prince loved her sister the most.
Now that this Lu Yue has gotten out of the Qin Palace, she is not willing to let this slut take advantage of this cheap again.
"Auntie, I'm full, let's go~" Qin Zixuan blinked a few times and stood up, took the initiative to walk to Lu Yue's side and take Lu Yue's hand.
Anyway, facing Zhao Qingliu's face, she didn't have any appetite.
"Okay, Xuan'er, let's go~"
"Auntie, Xuan'er is retiring." Qin Zixuan respectfully said goodbye to Zhao Qingliu.
Lu Yue took Qin Zixuan's hand, and the two walked into the house in a few steps, Qin Zixuan was not stupid, he knew that his grandmother and aunt didn't like his aunt.
Can.. But Xuan'er likes it. Qin Zixuan whispered in his heart.
"Xuan'er..."Zhao Qingliu called anxiously and chased to the door, but saw Qin Zixuan's eyebrows and eyes crooked and didn't know what to say to Lu Yue, Lu Yue had a quiet smile on her lips, a touching picture of filial piety and motherhood.
As soon as the two of them turned their feet, they left the courtyard gate and could no longer be seen.
The expression on Zhao Qingliu's face instantly turned cold, her eyes darkened, she wanted to catch up and snatch Xuan'er back from the woman's hands, it was her sister's child, why should she be taken away by a.
The reason in her head was shouting, no, such a fuss, maybe it will alarm the old lady, hey, she wants to see how long Lu Yue can be proud?
Zhao Qingliu stared faintly at the distance, and after a long time, he collected the expression on his face and said, "Go~"
She raised her foot and stepped over the threshold, and the maid behind her came out like a fish.
Qin Zixuan followed Lu Yue across the rockery garden, the smile on his face slowly faded, he knew better than anyone else that his aunt hated his aunt and didn't like them to mingle.
Lu Yue stopped, stroked Qin Zixuan and said, "Xuan'er, auntie just wants you to be happy." β
This kid is so sensible, Lu Yue feels that this is a matter between them adults, and there is no need to involve Xuan'er.
When Qin Zixuan heard this, he seemed to have figured out something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded.

Zhou Hong heard the message from the Qin Palace, hurriedly put down the account book, and went to the Qin Palace.
He didn't wait long in the study before he waited for Lu Yue.
"I've seen Princess Qin~" Zhou Hong arched his hand and said, this is not the Lu Mansion, but the Qin Palace, Zhou Hong listened to the old lady of Qin who paid special attention to the rules and etiquette, because she didn't dare to be presumptuous, and gave Lu Yue a salute in a proper manner.
Lu Yue sat down, raised her eyes, and bent the corners of her lips: "Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." β
Lu'er served the two of them tea and snacks and withdrew.
Lu Yue glanced at Zhou Hong, and saw that he was sitting upright with a stiff body, hanging his head slightly, with an expression of listening to her seriously, and suddenly smiled: "Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't need to be nervous, I called you here today because I told you to do something." β
Zhou Hong nodded, signaling that he was listening, and Lu Yue continued: "In a few days, I will go out, and I am afraid that the affairs in this business house will be handed over to you." β
It turned out to be this matter, Zhou Hong sighed slightly in his heart, slightly relieved, and the expression on his face relaxed, he thought that he was in a hurry to recruit himself, what was the big deal?
Zhou Hong arched his hand with a serious expression: "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely do my best." β
Lu Yue wasn't afraid that Zhou Hong would not do his best this week, but she was worried that Gu Yuanxiao would take the opportunity to make trouble? She advised: "We tore our faces with Yunyi Pavilion before, and offended that Gu Yuanxiao again, I'm afraid of this person..."
When Zhou Hong heard this, he slowly shook his head, "If it's this problem, don't worry about it, the princess just got the news that there are some problems with the goods in the south of the Gu family, and I'm afraid we can't take care of our side for the time being." β
"Really?" Lu Yue's eyes flashed with joy, this is really good, even God is busy with her.
Zhou Hong nodded, there was a caravan back from their side, and the news had just come back.
"That's good, after I leave, you can concentrate on taking care of these shops, if something happens that you can't solve, you can ask my father." Lu Yue admonished.
Some of the shops in this firm are just on the right track, so it's better to let Zhou Hong be careful.
"Uh-huh, princess, don't worry." Zhou Hongdao.
The two chatted about the situation of each shop for a while, and Zhou Hong left.
Lu Yue looked at the back of Zhou Hong's departure, and sighed again that she had not seen the wrong person, she casually flipped through the account book that Zhou Hong brought this time, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.
And the money was earning more and more.

Three days later, Lu Yue sent a letter to Doctor Zhu in advance, asking them to wait at the gate of the city.
Lu Yue didn't tell anyone, but just told the maid Xiu'er to take good care of Qin Zixuan, and sent a letter to Master Lu to greet him with peace, and she mainly wrote in the letter that she had a lot of things to do in the past few days, and she was afraid that she would not be able to go home to visit him, and she also said that she was very good in the Qin Palace, so that her father could rest assured.
and told Lu'er to take good care of herself.
She took the burden and took the Li Hu brothers out of the Qin Palace.
Because of the relationship with the fifth prince Gu Changheng in advance, Lu Yue smoothly blended into the team escorting disaster relief food.
Lu Yue glanced at the long convoy, these dozens of carriages were all full of grain, I heard that there were hundreds of thousands of deniers of grain, and the rest of the grain was transported from other places.
She turned her head to look at the back of the convoy, followed by hundreds of elite soldiers.
The carriage was running leisurely, outside was the two Li Hu brothers driving the carriage, Lu Yue pretended to be the little apprentice of Zhu Shenyi this time, the leader of the team, Lord Chen, when he heard that it was Zhu Shenyi's apprentice, immediately treated Lu Yue with respect, and chatted with Lu Yue enthusiastically for a few words, and then went to the front on horse.
Soon the convoy went out of the city gate, the carriage stopped, Lu Yue lifted the curtain, and saw Zhu Shenyi and Zhu Qing standing not far away, saying a few words to Master Chen, and then let the person go.
"Master~" Lu Yue deliberately shouted loudly, enough for that Lord Chen to hear clearly.
Divine Doctor Zhu glanced at Lu Yue, glaring at the mustache, "Master, it's hard work, I'll come~" Lu Yue smiled and reached out to take the medicine box on Divine Doctor Zhu's shoulder.
The two Li Hu brothers got out of the way, Zhu Qing helped Dr. Zhu into the carriage, and the convoy walked again.
Lu Yue poured hot tea for Doctor Zhu and Zhu Qing very diligently, "Come, Master~ Please drink tea." β
There was a hint of joy in that voice, and the master shouted cheerfully.
Doctor Zhu frowned, he wouldn't be cheated by this girl, right? The matter of pretending to be his apprentice had been discussed by them in the letter a long time ago.
But why does he feel a toothache when he hears this girl call him Master now~
Sure enough, for the next period of time.
"Master, do you want to have a snack?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Master, look at how beautiful the scenery outside is~"
ββ¦β¦β
"Master, you see A-Qing snickering."
ββ¦β¦β
"Poof~" Zhu Qing was inadvertently shot with a cold arrow, he.. He just felt that the master was a little pitiful.
