Chapter 15: Seeking

The next morning, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng talked back and forth.

Lou Wenke hired a carriage and went to Yihong Mansion to pick up people in person.

After getting the letter of permission, Lu Jiayue didn't dare to delay, hurriedly instructed the two little guys a few words, quickly changed their clothes, invited Qu Ying to go out of Qufu together, and took a carriage to Longshengfang.

Xin Zhu and Qu Ying's maid Hongxuan, and Mama Zhang took a carriage and walked in front, and Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying took a carriage and walked behind.

Xiaoshun and Xiaocheng also followed the carriage.

The boudoir girl rarely had a chance to go out, Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying sat in the carriage talking and laughing, looking happy, but Lu Jiayue's heart gradually became heavy.

Two days ago, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng talked back and forth, mentioning that Lou Wenke's newly bought house was on the street, and she had secretly made up her mind.

Therefore, she deliberately mentioned pastries yesterday, just because in her previous life, she knew that the old Baiwei Zhai store that was good at making pastries was in Longshengfang. And before going out, she also instructed the two little servants to let the groom lead the carriage past the door of the house purchased by Lou Wenke.

What she wanted to do was to let Qu Ying see Lou Wenke take the Qinglou woman into the door without showing a trace.

Even if Qu Ying only saw Lou Wenke in a hurry, she might not be able to recognize him, but with Mama Zhang's old and shrewd way, she would not fail to recognize him, but she might be able to see through the purpose of Lou Wenke's actions at a glance.

Hearing that she was going out, Meng would definitely send her confidant Mama Zhang to accompany her, which she had expected early on.

It's just that at this time, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, but she has hidden worries.

If Lou Wenke had already taken the Qinglou woman into the door when the carriage passed by, and the door was closed, his plans over the past few days would have been in vain.

But if she let Qu Ying witness her future husband hiding a concubine in private, and she is still a woman from a Qinglou, even if Qu Ying has no love for Lou Wenke, will she feel embarrassed by this incident?

But the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired.

You can't watch Qu Ying marry Lou Wenke, a merciless person.

Lu Jiayue bit her lip and made up her mind and didn't think about it anymore.

*

Longshengfang is not too far from Xingpingfang, where Lou's house is located, only two lanes in the middle, Lou Wenke Jinwu is Jiaojiao, and it is also convenient to go back and forth between Longshengfang and his own house.

After about half an hour, Xiaoshun knocked on the wall of the carriage outside, and said softly: "Miss, Longshengfang has arrived." ”

Lu Jiayue lifted the corner of the car curtain and leaned out, her tone calm and composed, "It's good to arrive, you can watch a little, don't miss it." ”

Qu Ying naturally thought that Lu Jiayue was just afraid of missing out on Baiwei Zhai's pastries, and couldn't help laughing: "My sister is really greedy, don't worry, with Mama Zhang in front, you can't be wrong." ”

The carriage went on for a few more moments, and finally stopped.

Lu Jiayue's heart became nervous, and her heartbeat seemed to stop with the carriage.

She tried her best to make a normal tone and asked the people outside: "Is Baiwei Zhai here?" ”

There was silence outside for a while, and Xiao Shun replied: "No, miss, it was Mama Zhang who stopped the carriage in front." ”

"Let's see, but what's going on?" Lu Jiayue turned her back to Qu Ying, she was afraid that Qu Ying would notice her abnormality.

After being quiet for a while, it was Xiao Cheng who replied: "Miss Hui, Mama Zhang seems to have met an acquaintance - but she didn't go up to say hello, she only looked at it from a distance for a while, and now she can go." ”

It seems that Mama Zhang has seen it, but she is silent.

This is the advantage of old people, living a long time, seeing a lot, nothing is surprising, it seems that the sky is falling, and they can resist quietly.

Lu Jiayue let out a long breath.

After planning these days, my thoughts have finally not been in vain.

The carriage moved again, Qu Ying suddenly raised a gap in the car curtain, glanced out, and said with a smile: "I don't know what acquaintances Mama Zhang has met?" - Look at these shops, Baiwei Zhai seems to be almost there. ”

Lu Jiayue looked at Qu Ying, and the way she smiled was really like the magnolia flowers swaying on the branches in the spring breeze in February, pure and elegant, unstained with the dust of the world.

But how do you know that her fate may have been rewritten at this moment.

Lu Jiayue was in a trance for a moment.

All these things I did were for Qu Ying's good.

But all this is just what she thinks she is.

If Qu Ying knew the truth early on, would she be willing to let others change her fate?

How will Qu Ying choose?

*

Lu Jiayue was so worried that she just bought some pastries at random, but Qu Ying was in a good mood, and she loaded half a carriage with clothes and jewelry and pastries.

"It's easy to go out one time, and you have to buy more things, otherwise you don't know when the next trip will be."

Qu Ying looked at the things in half a carriage, and her face was full of satisfied smiles.

After returning to Qu's mansion, the maids moved in the things they bought, and Mama Zhang accompanied Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying into Meng's main house.

Meng Shi was watching Chunxia and several maids tidy up their fur clothes for the winter, and when they saw Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying coming in, they smiled and said, "What did you buy today?" Looking at Ying'er's happy appearance, she must have bought a lot of things. ”

Qu Ying sat down beside Meng Shi and leaned down behind Meng Shi's shoulder, "The maids are moving in, and they will be shown to their mother in a while." ”

"What about your sister, what did she buy?" Meng Shi said, looking at Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue secretly calmed down and smiled reluctantly, "My sister bought a lot, I just wanted to eat Jiangnan pastries, so I bought some, but I didn't buy the side - after a while, the pastries were brought in, and my aunt also tasted them." ”

Meng Shi saw that the two of them went out happily and came back safely, and his heart was very stable and relieved, who knew that when he raised his eyes, Mama Zhang, who was standing aside, had a gloomy expression, and quietly glanced at her.

Meng Shi knew that something was wrong, so he sent Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying out, "You go to stay in the blue yarn cupboard for a while, I am wearing fur clothes here, the smell is not good, and you are not afraid of rushing." ”

Qu Ying didn't think much about it, turned around and went out.

Lu Jiayue went out behind Qu Ying, thinking that she didn't know how Mama Zhang would tell Meng Shi about the scene at that time, and she didn't know how Meng Shi would react if she knew.

So I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

*

After having lunch with Qu Ying in the blue yarn cupboard, Lu Jiayue went back to Chuntang Residence.

She knew that Mama Zhang had already told Meng Shi about it.

Meng Shi knew the truth of the matter at this time, she must be depressed, she was loved by Meng Shi, and she should have gone to relieve and comfort her.

But how could Meng tell such an ugly thing to her little daughter in the boudoir? She has no way of knowing, and how can she explain and comfort?

However, after all, he was uneasy in his heart, and ordered Xin Zhu to inquire quietly, Xin Zhu came back, saying that before lunch, Meng sent Mama Zhang's husband Zhongbo to Longshengfang, and when he came back after lunch, Meng's face was very bad, and he drove the maids in the yard, leaving Mama Zhang alone to serve in the middle.

Sending Zhongbo to Longshengfang is about to confirm the facts, and second, to find out the identity of the woman accepted by Lou Wenke.

The daughter's future husband, a son from an official family, and a marriage contract, even disregarded his face, and started to hide the beauty of the golden house and privately accept the Qinglou woman as a concubine.

Meng Shi suddenly learned the truth, even though she had always been dignified and self-controlled, she also panicked.
