Inside, sit down on the ondol, serve hot tea with orange and grapefruit, and put pastries on the table. Duan took advantage of the time to squint his eyes and look around the room, and said with an envious smile: "Your rooms are exquisitely decorated, which shows that your aunt really cares for you." ”

Say useless things.

Lu Jiayue muttered in her heart, and still smiled in her mouth: "My aunt loves me, but none of the things in this house are mine, and I will ask my aunt to take it back when I go to my house in the future." ”

"That's not necessarily, your aunt treats you as her own, and when you leave the cabinet in the future, she will definitely buy you a rich dowry." Duan looked at Lu Jiayue with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Lu Jiayue smiled and didn't answer the question.

"You are an elder, it should be me who went to greet you, but I heard that you have always been busy, and now it is the end of the year, I am afraid that you are more and more unavailable, so I didn't dare to bother - I didn't expect you to come to me in person today, isn't there anything important?"

Duan snorted coldly.

This little girl, although she is young, speaks without leakage.

Busy... How have you ever been busy? What do you say hello again, it sounds so polite, as if you have forgotten the cold face in the flower hall in the upper room on the day of the beginning of winter.

Accustomed to two-faced and three-faced, I don't know who it looks like?

If it weren't for his son begging him to come forward, who would want to see the hypocrisy of this little girl!

"Let's take a look at you, what can it matter," Duan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his stomach and forced a smile on his face, "You were sick a few days ago, but I had no time to come to see you, I heard that you like to eat Baiwei Zhai's pastries, I specially asked your cousin Rong to buy two boxes back, he was inconvenient to come to you, so I asked me to send it to you," called the jade screen on his side, "Quickly bring it to Miss Biao to taste." ”

Speaking of Qu Rong, Lu Jiayue remembered Qu Rong's reckless behavior a few days ago in the Dark Fragrance Garden, blocking her way.

Between mother and son, there is nothing to say. Could it be that the Duan family is here to apologize for Qu Rong... She's not such a big-hearted person.

Lu Jiayue remained silent, and only politely perfunctory with Duan's to see what she wanted.

"Thank you Second Lady for this preference," Lu Jiayue didn't reach out to pick up the two boxes of pastries handed over by Duan's family, but only nodded her chin at Xin Zhu, Xin Zhu understood, and reached out to take it.

Lu Jiayue said again: "It's just that the last return trip was instructed by the imperial doctor, women can't eat more sweets, and I haven't eaten much recently, but I don't dare not accept your gift." ”

If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, I just wanted to borrow the excuse of these two boxes of pastries to make it easier to talk.

Thinking like this, not only was he not angry, but his expression was even more eager, "You should listen to the imperial doctor, if you can't eat it, you can keep it for the little maids below, it's the same." ”

Lu Jiayue showed pity on her face and sighed with a smile: "It's only a pity for your kindness." ”

"It doesn't matter, you can't eat sweets, next time I'll ask Cousin Rong to bring back some salty pastries." Duan's mouth was full of gentle and considerate tone.

It's just that every sentence is not separated from Qu Rong's side, what is the purpose?

Lu Jiayue hid the doubts in her heart, and only smiled faintly, "There is no need to be so troublesome, the fourth young master is a person who wants to study articles and make a name for himself with his heart, how dare I delay his time to do these trivial things for me." ”

Duan pretended to be surprised: "Why are you so surprised, what young master has a lot of masters, we are all close relatives, you call him a cousin." ”

Cousin... Cousin...

In his previous life, why didn't he call Qu Rong with a cousin of Rong?

Every time I call, my heart is full of sweet taste.

And Qu Rong always looked at himself with such a smile and gentleness, and between his eyebrows, he also reflected his own smile countless times, until in the end, reflecting her sadness and tears, as well as a broken and fragmented heart.

Seeing Lu Jiayue's eyes lowered, Duan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, glanced at her coldly, and immediately laughed again.

"Your cousin Rong told me before that he always met you in the plum garden, and said that you are young, and as a cousin, he wants to take care of you, but you look too good, if you are closer, I am afraid that the person with a bad mouth will spread some ugly words..."

"Your cousin Rong is shy, and he only knows how to read every day... It's not that I, as a mother, praise him for some talent, even the gentleman in the national prison praises him..."

"He always said that as a man, he should focus on his studies, come to Japan to be named on the gold list, and become an official before he can serve his family and country..."

"He is eighteen years old, and some brothers are already married at his age, but first, he values his studies and has no intention of marrying, and secondly, I look at it coldly, and now I can't find a suitable girl to match him..."

"This marriage between men and women, in fact, it is better to know the roots, if it is your own relatives, then it is even better... People say that cousins and cousins are easy to marry. ”

Duan just talked about it, and Lu Jiayue listened disapprerovingly, but the more she listened, the more familiar she felt.

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was the words that Duan whispered to her shortly after she first arrived at the Qu family in her previous life.

Qu Rong deliberately got close to her, and the Duan family added fuel to the fire, and she entrusted her whole heart to Qu Rong step by step.

But that was all from a previous life.

But now it seems that Qu Rong did not tell the Duan family about her attitude of rejecting him. Otherwise, with Duan's lonely nature, he would not have accompanied the smiling face to say these words to her again.

In her previous life, she was respectful and polite to Duan, and Duan's enthusiasm for her was far better than in this world. But she couldn't understand that the Duan family and Qu Rong were both unscrupulous people who could do anything to cling to the powerful, but why did they want to pester her?

She lost her mother when she was young, and her father was just an outgoing political envoy, and although the family had some property, it was not very rich.

Why did his mother and son half-coax and half-deceive her and Qu Rong to secretly make a lifelong decision?

The previous life is just that, the past is like smoke and dust, it has long been dissipated with the wind, and now she has been reincarnated as a human being, and she deliberately does not associate with the people in his second room, such a clear and distant attitude, why is his mother and son brazenly entangled?

Lu Jiayue forcibly held back the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know why the second lady told me these words, I am a little girl, I really heard what you said, and I didn't understand it - but it's okay, I'll go back and tell my aunt these words, I think my aunt will solve my doubts for me." ”

Tell Meng - that's okay?

This little girl is young, she is ignorant and naïve, Meng seems to be gentle and peaceful, but she is actually a smart person who hides needles in her mouth, if she listens to these words, she doesn't know what to do.

Duan Shi was shocked into a cold sweat, hurriedly shook his hands, and said with a smile: "No need, no need, I'm just a broken mouth, and I have to say a few words when I meet people - why do you have to say that you know your aunt, you don't have to make her laugh." ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but sneer.

The encounter in her previous life is a lesson from the past, and if she is a human being in her second life, how can she repeat the mistakes of the past?

When Duan was embarrassed and helpless, Juxiang came in and replied and "rescued" Duan.

"Miss Cousin, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng and the two are here, saying that they have something to go back, and now they are in the outer courtyard."

Lu Jiayue stood up and smiled at Duan: "I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you, thank you for coming to see me, when I have time, I will go to greet you." ”

"No, you're weak, you have to take care of it, I'll go back first, there's still a lot of work in the house."

The Duan clan hurried and fled.

Lu Jiayue was too lazy to spend her mind on her, and watched her out of the yard through the window, so she asked Juxiang to call two little maids in.

There was no one else in the room, and the two little guys fought each other and said, "Miss Yu, there is news from the Jinyu Health Department-it is said that the salt tax case has been finalized." ”
