"Ahem! What's there to say about that little thing? Besides, my sister treated me well and taught me everywhere, and I remember it! In the future, the lady will always serve the two of us, we don't help each other, who else is willing to help us? ”

As he was talking, Su Linglong in the inner room was lying on the bed and called out repeatedly: "Shen'er, have you adjusted it?" Hurry up! ”

"Hey, right away!"

Shen'er agreed, and hurriedly went in with a silver needle soaked in alcohol and a mixed paint. Jin Qiao held the expensive bottle of flower dew in her hand, wiped away her tears and hurriedly followed to help.

"Oh, Brother Lu, don't you believe what I say? If you don't believe it, you can see this album for yourself! ”

The official surnamed Li didn't know Su Linglong's identity at this time, but he was a confidante by Lu Xiuyun's side, so he was stunned and said that she was the woman in Sun Tonghan's harem atlas. Seeing that he was still a little unconvinced, he simply took out the booklet that he had bought with a lot of money, spread it out in front of him, and said, "Look at it yourself!" Is this the guy you brought out yesterday, brother? ”

Seeing Lu Xiuyun's face instantly becoming very bad when he looked at the atlas, he made up and said: "Oh, brother, in fact, it's nothing for you to keep this kind of stunner by your side." Anyway, you are from a high family, and the wife of the family has her own parents to help find a noble person. It was a matter of course to have a few confidantes before getting married......."

He said anything later, but Lu Xiuyun couldn't listen to it. He hurriedly said goodbye, but his heart was angry and very disappointed.

Why did Linglong's sister do such a thing behind her back? That Sun Tonghan is just a hooligan ruffian, with his aunt's love for Linglong's sister, even if she can't marry herself, there must be a suitable high-ranking disciple in Beijing who can point it to her......

He thought about these unspeakable questions restlessly, and for a while he completely lost his former calm and self-control, and even didn't pay attention to his horse accidentally bumping into someone.

It wasn't until someone shouted his name that he raised his eyes, and when he saw it, it happened to be Ye Mansion's carriage parked in front of him, and even the maid who was knocked down was Ye Mansion's.

Ye Yuxian pulled the curtain of the car and talked to him.

"Where is Lu Gongzi coming back? I see that your face is very bad, what is there to worry about? ”

Lu Xiuyun saluted her, and then replied: "It's nothing, I just - by the way, Ye Niangzi, are you going out of the city?" ”

Ye Yuxian smiled at him, and her demeanor was full of dignified and graceful and bright girlishness.

"Yes, my mother said that I went to Huaxing Temple with Fang Fei and several female relatives of Yin Mansion to offer incense today."

He said, "Who is Childe just now?" I saw that you were so lost that you didn't even notice that you had bumped into my maid. ”

Lu Xiuyun was suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, no....... Oh, I'm sorry for Mrs. Ye, I will personally come to apologize another day." ”

Ye Yuxian blushed when she saw him, but she felt more and more that this person's young heart still existed, although her father said to herself after the banquet that day, Lu Xiuming's utilitarian heart was clear. But in her opinion, with Lu Xiuyun's background and family background, it is even more undesirable if he has no desire for fame and fortune.

So he didn't think about it, but he was still firm in his previous thoughts, and said to his parents euphemistically, he didn't want to, but his mother, who had always supported him, expressed his worries unprecedentedly: "And wait a little longer!" After returning to Beijing, my mother will inquire about their family affairs for you, as well as how his mother behaves, and it will not be too late for you to make plans. ”

Ye Yuxian couldn't, so she had to respond. At this time, she and Lu Xiuyun met again on the street, and she felt that the fate was irreversible, and it was not until after he left that she turned around and said to her mother, who was sitting beside her but had been silent and even unwilling to show up: "Mother, you have also seen that Lu Gongzi is humble and polite, such a son, his mother must also be a lady who knows books and etiquette." ”

Mrs. Ye said: "You are a fan of the authorities, and I heard that his mother is not a woman from a wealthy family." It was originally a stepfamily, and it was carried from the cousin clan to fill the house. However, her previous wife was born from the Lin family of the former queen, and her appearance and conduct were all first-class. He also had a brother before him, who was also born to his original wife, and it is said that he has not yet married—"

"Oh, mother, I'm talking to you about Lu Gongzi, what did you tell me about his brother?"

Ye Yuxian was smart and clever, and immediately vaguely guessed what her mother wanted to say. So he hurriedly turned the conversation, but he made up his mind with some dissatisfaction in his heart - his own family affairs must be his own decision, otherwise, if he obeys his parents' orders and chooses a person he doesn't like, he will live for a lifetime, what fun is there in this life?

But Mrs. Ye also understood her daughter's thoughts, and knew that she couldn't be forced, so she said: "For my mother, I also think that the son of the road is a talent, and he talks extraordinary." But Xian'er, you also saw it, he came to our house for a banquet, but he brought the cousin surnamed Su. Although this woman's background is lower, she can't stand the fact that she is a childhood sweetheart, and she has to be agreed by the elders in the family. At that time, even if you marry into the Lu Mansion, can you still allow your husband to accept such a noble concubine soon after marriage? ”

Su Linglong! This foxy woman, Ye Yuxian sneered in her heart, she couldn't let her husband marry such a noble concubine, but there was no need to say some things too early in front of her mother, so she said, "Who doesn't have a few distant relatives from a poor family?" We also have this kind of cousin in our family, doesn't the mother still believe that her daughter can have the skills to keep her out? ”

Mrs. Ye glanced at her daughter twice, and also felt that Ye Yuxian had become more assertive and steady and decisive in the past two years, recalling that she was actually not as good as her at her age, so she sighed and stopped speaking.

"Lady! Mr. Lu is back! Hurry back to your bed and lie down—"

Shen'er was guarding the door of the inn, and saw Lu Xiuyun riding a horse back from a distance and ran back to the courtyard to deliver the message, and in front of the dresser behind the screen, Su Linglong looked left and right in front of the mirror. Shaoqing waited until he saw the pitiful weak beauty in the bronze mirror, which was still a little delicate and clear in her illness that was difficult to hide, and then she lay down on the bed with satisfaction.

Before putting down the gauze tent, he instructed: "You two go and boil water now, boil more water, and say that the doctor ordered me to make a medicinal soup." and when all actions will be taken, they will do as I have commanded them. ”

Jin Qiao and Shen'er should be in unison when they heard this, and then Shen'er rolled up his sleeves and walked to the back kitchen. Seeing that Jin Qiao was talking around the cook who was boiling water, and the cauldron was already white mist, he nodded at her. After the cook went out, the two of them whispered: "The lady will do this, there will be nothing wrong, right?" ”
