"How else do you want me to talk?" Lu Li's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he only glanced at him, as if he had been shot by thousands of cold arrows, which made people get goosebumps for no reason.

He hugged Su Xiaoman in his arms tightly, very impatient: "You broke into my house for no reason, and spoke ill of my wife, do you still want me to ask you out in a good voice?" ”

The girl at the head couldn't hold it on her face, and the people behind her were busy persuading her to accept it when she saw it, and she couldn't get off the stage after a while.

She snorted lightly, "The dignified general is nothing more than that, I'm not uncommon!" ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand and left with a group of people, and the courtyard finally quieted down.

With this lesson, the people in the nearby villages no longer dared to come to the door for no reason, for fear of being dumped by Lu Li, and the Lu family was finally able to be quiet, so that they could prepare with peace of mind and wait for the road.

As for Su Xiaoling, after being taught a lesson by Lu Li that day, Su Qi scolded her again, and Zhang Xiuqin saw that Su Qi was really angry, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few days to leave, Xiao Man and Lu Li picked a time to go to Taoyuan County, and after telling the shopkeeper Zhao that he was leaving, the shopkeeper Zhao reluctantly kept a few words, but he knew that he could not change the decision of the two, so he had to wish the two of them a smooth journey.

Since then, the matter has finally been dealt with, and there is nothing to regret.

In order to prevent Xiaoling from having any bad intentions, Su Qi quickly found a matchmaker to make peace, intending to marry Su Xiaoling to an ordinary farmer in the village next to Bishui Village, and the Su family is also a good match.

The farmer has a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter has long been married, and there is only one son left in the family, who is good-looking, has a good temper, and does not dislike Su Xiaoling.

Zong Xiaoling was reluctant in a thousand ways, but she went too far that day, and the nearby villages knew about her and Zhang Xiuqin's behavior, and no one dared to tell her about matchmaking, so Su Xiaoling had to listen to Su Qi's words and get married.

In order to get married before Su Xiaoman left, Su Qi advanced the marriage by a month, and the marriage was done in a hurry, but it was not sloppy, the two families were very satisfied, and Zhang Xiuqin didn't dare to say anything more.

On the day when it was time to leave, Su Xiaoman got up early in the morning and went to Su's house to say goodbye to his father, and he told him for a long time without worry, and then left with Lu Li and the others.

When they arrived in Taoyuan County, Wei Xiuyuan and his wife also waited in the carriage early, Su Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou sat in the carriage, Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan rode horses, Zhang Yuan drove the carriage, and the group went on the road.

Taoyuan County is not very close to Shangjing, if Lu Li rides a horse, it will be possible to arrive in less than half a month, but there are still two female dependents at the moment, and they have to slow down their pace.

When I went on the road, it was still early spring, when the winter snow had just melted, and the ground was still bare, but when the group arrived in Shangjing, the ground was already green, and the willow trees on the side of the road were already full of young buds, and the willows were fluttering in the wind, which was very beautiful.

The streets are full of shops selling things, and the sound of hawkers and laughter is endless, and it is very bustling.

"Two ladies, we have arrived in Beijing." Zhang Yuan, who was in the car, said with a smile.

Xiao Man couldn't help but open the curtain and take a look, only to see that the high-rise buildings outside were lined up, the decoration of the roof was also gorgeous, the guise of the store was fluttering in the wind, the crowd was well-dressed, and there were not a few girls on the street who came out to play in groups, which really surprised Xiao Man.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou explained with a smile: "The people of Shangjing are open, and there is no rule that women in the boudoir cannot go out, plus Linhai, there are many people from other countries who come here to do business, and those blue-eyed people have fewer rules, you will be surprised in the future." ”

"The blue-eyed man?" Xiao Man's eyes widened, "Who is that?" ”

Xia Wanrou pursed her lips and smiled, "They are doing business from the other side of the sea, you don't understand what I told you, if you live here for a long time, you will always see it." ”

Xiao Man nodded as if he didn't understand, and then couldn't help but open the curtain and look outside, asking Xia Wanrou what was outside from time to time, and patiently answering her one by one.

In such a joke and question, the five of them finally arrived at Wei Xiuyuan's mansion in Shangjing.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, two servants immediately knelt on both sides of the carriage, Su Xiaoman was puzzled, and he was afraid of losing face, so he had to watch how Xia Wanrou did it first.

I saw her stretch out her wrist, and the maid waiting next to her immediately reached out to support her, and then Xia Wanrou lifted the corner of her skirt with her left hand, stretched out her foot and stepped on the back of the kneeling servant, and got out of the carriage like this.

Su Xiaoman couldn't help but look at the servant kneeling on his side, a little unbearable, no matter how thin he was, he was the weight of a person, stepping on his back like this, it would definitely hurt, right?

But if you don't, will others laugh at you for not knowing the rules?

Just as she was hesitating, Su Xiaoman suddenly had an extra hand in front of her, she hurriedly looked up, it turned out to be Lu Li, the man smiled at her, and said gently: "Come, I'll help you down." ”

Su Xiaoman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got off the carriage on Lu Li's wrist.

It just so happened that Wei Xiuyuan over there also came, and the four of them entered the gate under the guidance of their subordinates, and turned a corner from the shadow wall to the door of the second gate, and opened the door again to enter the inner house of the Wei Mansion.

Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li still had important matters to discuss, so the two went directly to the study, and Xia Wanrou took Xiaoman in the direction of the bedroom.

As soon as the two of them came over, a little girl next to her hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and said a lot of compliments, but it was a pity that Xiaoman only cared about looking at the goldfish in the big tank in the courtyard and didn't pay attention to what she said.

"Can the East Wing be cleaned up?" Xia Wanrou asked.

The little girl smiled, "I packed it out early in the morning, and I'm waiting for you to come back." ”

Saying that, Xia Wanrou took Xiao Man's hand, "Xiao Man, this girl's name is Pearl, she is my dowry maid, she is very clever, let her serve you in the future." ”

Seeing that Xiao Man was about to speak, the clever Pearl hurriedly saluted Xiao Man and smiled sweetly, "It turns out that this is General Lu's wife, she is so good-looking." ”

Xiao Man, who wanted to refuse, was not good at saying anything, she blushed and lowered her head, which was considered to be a tacit acquiescence to Xia Wanrou's arrangement.

After a long journey, Xia Wanrou didn't stay with Xiaoman any longer, the two went back to the house to rest, and Xiaoman slept until sunset.

She was busy getting up and dressing up, for fear that Lu Li would lose face because of herself.

"Mrs. Lu, are you up?"

Following the prestige, it was the pearl who came with hot water.

Xiao Man was always a little uncomfortable with the title of "Mrs. Lu", but at the same time, the next series of things made her very uncomfortable.

Pearl put down the wooden basin, soaked the handkerchief with hot water, then wrung it out and handed it to Xiao Man, "Mrs. Lu, you wash your face first, and I will groom you immediately." ”

Xiao Man took the handkerchief and wiped his face in a daze, and then let Pearl tinker with his face and hair, Xiao Man originally wanted to stop, but Pearl was very fast and sharp, so she didn't have a chance to refuse.

After combing her hair, Pearl personally changed her clothes, Xiao Man looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and almost didn't recognize it.

I saw that the woman in the bronze mirror was wearing a white floor-length smoke cage plum blossom white water skirt, covered with a moon-blue jade butterfly wearing a flowered coat, the clothes and neckline and cuffs were embroidered with butterflies with gold thread, the woman's head was only a magnolia hairpin, and the earlobes were two swirling silver butterflies, the whole person became more and more exquisite, and Xiaoman was a little stunned.

"I just said that Mrs. is good-looking, and this dress is even more beautiful." Pearls boasted on the sidelines.

Xiao Mandeng's face turned red, she looked down at the clothes on her body, bit her lip and said, "This ...... This dress...... I always felt like I was ......"

It seems that he has changed as a person, and I don't know if Lu Li can still deny it.

Just thinking about this, Pearl seemed to see through her thoughts, "General Lu is waiting for you in the main hall, I'll take you over." ”

"Hmm."

When he arrived at the main hall, Xiao Man found that the room was full of people, men, women and children, all of whom were unfamiliar faces, even Wei Xiuyuan and his wife were not here.

She was a little flustered for a while, and subconsciously looked at Pearl.

Pearl understood and immediately asked the little girl on the side: "Where did General Lu go?" ”

Without waiting for the little girl to speak, a young woman sitting on the left side said with some disdain: "Brother Lu has to face the saint tomorrow, and he is busy now, so he doesn't have time to see you." ”

"Stone girl," Pearl hurriedly saluted the young woman, "and you are here too." ”

The young woman hummed lazily and didn't speak, but her eyes always stayed on Su Xiaoman, with a little temptation.

This young woman's name is Shi Yu, she is eighteen years old, she is the granddaughter of a second-class member of the imperial court, she is pampered, and she is the most prominent one among all the people present, as long as she speaks, no one dares to intervene.

This Shi Yu stared at Su Xiaoman for a while, then suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Pearl, who is this girl next to you, why don't you introduce it?" ”

Pearl's body was shocked, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Shi girl, this is ......"

This Shi Yu has always been longing for Lu Li, and now if she knows that this is Mrs. Lu, then she can't make a fuss?

"Who is it, don't hurry up and say! Are you dumb minions? Shi Yu shouted angrily.

Pearl knelt down with a puff, her voice trembling: "Miss Shi, I'm ..... I ......"

Seeing that the pearl was shaking like chaff, she was very scared, Su Xiaoman was a little unbearable, she didn't know the sinister heart of the people, she took the initiative to speak: "I am Lu Li's wife, you just call me Su Xiaoman." ”

Shi Yu's eyebrows furrowed, and he said word by word: "Su, small, full?" ”

"Hahaha!" Shi Yu suddenly laughed, she pointed at Su Xiaoman, and laughed wantonly: "It's embarrassing to say such a dirty name, aren't you afraid that people will laugh and lose your big teeth?" Especially dare to claim to be Brother Lu's wife, hahaha, this is too funny. ”

Pearl closed her eyes in despair and buried her head even lower.
