After more than half an hour, Lychee, who followed You Can to see Mrs. Lu, went back to Xiying Courtyard alone, and saw Zhuo Zhaojie looking at the book he brought over on the couch, but he didn't fall asleep, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Qi Niang, Old Mrs. Lu said that I want to invite Qi Niang and San Niang to have dinner in the main room today, so I asked Bai Siniang to sleep more and get up for supper, please Qi Niang will go over and talk together!" ”

When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he knew that the Lu family was not at ease and wanted to see him again in person, so he put down the book and said: "Okay, when I comb my hair again, I will be loose on the couch." ”

Ming Yin hurriedly went to fetch water, served her with Ming Ye to freshen up, and changed her clothes, with Lychee helping by the side—after cleaning up like this, she went to the main room.

When I arrived at the main room, everything was as usual at the moment, but a few little maids who came to see in the morning were sent away, leaving only an older woman to serve, Lu and Fu were there, You Can sat with the next head, Zhuo Zhaojie went in and saluted, Lu and Fu hurriedly called her up, and she sat next to You Can, and stopped talking.

Zhuo Zhaojie understood, and said to Ming Yin and Ming Ye behind him: "I'm here to talk to the elders, you don't have to wait closely." ”

Ming Yin and Ming Ye didn't know what she meant, so they hurriedly retreated, and You Can also sent his two maids, so he heard Lu Shi sigh and said, "The family is unfortunate, let Zhuo Xiaoniang see the joke!" ”

"Grandmother Lu's words are serious." On the way here, Zhuo Zhaojie also thought about how to talk now, although the Lu family didn't dare to do anything to himself, but not to mention the face of the second lady and You Can, just for the sake of the preserves over the years, she should also reassure the Bai family, so she said, "Although I am young, I also know that it is natural for young Mu Ai and young girls to conceive spring, although the ancients said 'love and stop courtesy', but there is also a saying of 'can't help it', not to mention how old Sister Bai was two years ago, when she was young, who didn't miss it?" Sister Bai didn't do anything, but she was taken by someone who didn't think about it when she was young, and now Sister Bai regrets being like that, who can bear to say half a word about her? ”

Listening to her sincerity and thoughtfulness, Lu Shi also sighed and wept: "My own flesh and blood, sister-in-law girl, pampered and habitual naturally feel sorry for her, but where can others be the same?" ”

"The letter has long been in the hands of Mrs. Wu, but there has been no rumor so far, so it can be seen that Mrs. Wu may have forgotten it." Zhuo Zhaojie heard that he was afraid that he would say it, and he was not annoyed, but he seemed to be unconscious, and said with relief, "Since you will forget, even Mrs. Wu may not necessarily harm Sister Bai, I am afraid that she wants to scare and scare Sister Bai, now she just needs to think of a way to get the letter back from her hand, empty mouth and white teeth, who can say what Sister Bai is?" ”

What Zhuo Zhaojie said is reasonable, and he is very calm, what else does the Lu family have to say, You Can has already rushed to say: "Grandmother, Zhaojie is the strictest, what did my grandmother say to her, just tell me not to spread it, I can't get anything out of it since she was seven or eight years old, not to mention that I just said it, I didn't dare to tell you originally, or she said the severity of the matter." ”

was bluntly said by her, Lu Shi and Fu Shi couldn't help but be embarrassed, in the end, they were old, and they settled down, and Lu Shi apologized casually: "It's us who are old and confused, thinking that Zhuo Xiaoniang is young, and how much advice will be relieved, but we are underestimating Xiaoniang." ”

"Sister Bai is about to leave the cabinet, and she is worried about this matter, don't blame the elders for being cautious, it is a great thing." Zhuo Zhaojie is naturally polite.

After the scene of greetings and temptations and promises, it was the turn of the Lu family to discuss how to solve the matter, and the Lu family knew that the time was urgent-Bai Zihua had been out of the pavilion for a few days, and she had dealt with it early, so that she could recuperate with peace of mind, so she didn't say much, and said straightforwardly: "Where Qujiazhuang is, Mama Ping next to me happens to know that she has relatives nearby, so she is just going to do it." ”

After listening to Lu's words, she said: "Old lady, please rest assured, the old man is fighting for his life, and he will also make the Wu family lady rot this matter in her stomach, and she can't confide half a word in this life!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Lu Shi will be calm, and said calmly, "As Zhuo Xiaoniang said, these days have been calm, it can be seen that the woman is also thinking about living a good life, this matter, in the end, our girl is young and ignorant, now Siniang knows that she is wrong, and she is about to leave the cabinet, we as elders can't watch her miss her life so much in order to make a mistake for a while!" Only then did she try to get the letter back, but as long as Mrs. Woo did not ask too much, and returned the letterhead, she would do whatever she wanted. ”

Mama Ping nodded and said solemnly: "The old body will live up to the trust of the old lady!" ”

Seeing that the Lu clan already had a reliable person and an idea, even the Fu clan did not shout and kill Bai Zihua even though they were silent to the end, You Can also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glad that he listened to Zhuo Zhaojie, otherwise how could the two of them have a way so quickly? It must be that at this moment, I don't even know where Qujiazhuang is!

After the matter was finished, Lu and Fu left them to talk, and after dinner together, they called a few servants to send them back to Xiying Courtyard.

When I arrived at the gate of Xiyingyuan, a servant woman with a light in front of me said, "Hey, Gorou is so late, what are you doing here without lighting the lamp?" ”

I heard Bai Zijing calmly reply: "I just went to see the fourth sister, and when I saw that the fourth sister had been emaciated abnormally in the past few days, I felt uncomfortable, so I sent people away to stand here." ”

"I see." The servant woman originally thought that he was waiting for You Can, and she also knew that the pair of cousins and sisters had a good relationship since childhood, and she would hear Bai Zijing mention Bai Zihua's body, and she was also a little emotional, but Zhuo Zhaojie was also there, she got the news and couldn't snub this little lady of the Zhuo family, so she said, "Wulang studied hard, so let's go back early, so as not to worry the old lady and the lady!" ”

Bai Zijing promised to leave, but You Can couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Cousin! ”

Originally, Bai Zijing didn't really leave, but when she was called like this, she naturally took advantage of the situation and stood up: "Cousin? ”

Seeing this, Zhuo Zhaojie said to the servants: "Now that the Xiying Courtyard has also arrived, let's go in by ourselves, and there are a few laborers." ”

Several servant women pursed their lips and smiled-but Bai Zijing and You Can were relatives and married, and the Bai family members did not restrain them from laughing and meeting in private, and they couldn't afford to offend the two masters in such a trivial matter, so they all retired after hearing this.

Waiting for the Lu family to send You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie away, Bai Zijing walked from the darkness not far away to the lights hanging under the Xiying Courtyard, although he was not handsome, but because he was happy to see his sweetheart, the whole person was full of energy, revealing an extremely confident and elegant atmosphere, but he came to salute Zhuo Zhaojie first, exaggerated to the ground, and said heartily: "Zhuo Xiaoniang, there are thousands of sisters-in-law in the world, but no one can be as understanding as you, the third cousin-in-law has thanked you here first!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, I can't do it if I don't think I'm empathetic!" From the moment you spoke, my third cousin grabbed my arm, and I couldn't break free in a few strokes—if I didn't send her away so that you could talk, the spring shirt I wore today wouldn't be able to prevent her long nails, and it would be strange if I didn't pinch my arm! ”

The four maids all covered their sleeves and snickered, and You Can's face couldn't be seen red or not under the lights, so she only heard her say: "Nonsense! I'm just afraid that you won't be able to see the road under your feet clearly, so when will you pinch you? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Why do you hold on so tightly, cousin, your nails are almost embedded in my arms, isn't it pinched?" Well, I see, if I don't open my mouth again, my cousin will tell me what it means to pinch someone, it's really a ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was beaten by You Can and said angrily: "Don't you have a headache? Go to sleep! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhuo Zhaojie grimaced at her, ran into the courtyard with a grin, and said in a clear voice, "Although I am still fine, but now I not only have a headache, but I also have a pain in my feet, and there is no good place in my body, so I have to go back to the house immediately and fall ......asleep."

"This is narrow!" You Can scolded hatefully behind her......

Zhuo Zhaojie returned to his room, asked Mingyin and Mingye to go out and ask the rough envoy serving in the courtyard for water, freshened up, and fell asleep.

On the second day, I went to the main room to ask for peace, and then went to Yunshui Building to comfort Bai Zihua, Bai Zihua heard that You Can had sent someone to find Mrs. Wu to reply to the letter, it must be possible, she herself was indecisive, but it was easy to trust others, and she didn't ask You Can why she moved so fast, but she relaxed and ate this and that.

I don't want to, in the afternoon, the main room sent someone to Yunshui Building, taking advantage of Bai Zihua's inattention, signaling Zhuo Zhaojie to go out to talk, Zhuo Zhaojie was suspicious, leaving You Can to deal with Bai Zihua, and when he went outside the building with the man, the servant woman whispered: "The old lady invites the girl to the main room." ”

"Aren't you called the third cousin?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked.

The servant woman said: "The old lady said that she was afraid that Siniang would be suspicious. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a while, and felt that the You family didn't know that he had come to the Bai family, not to mention that he would definitely keep it secret for Bai Zihua, although the Lu family was old, he was not so confused as to dare to kill his mouth, so he said: "Then please lead the way." ”

When she arrived at the main hall, because she was the only one, Lu Shi directly asked her to enter the inner room, but she saw that it was still Fu Shi and Na Ping's grandmother, but the faces of the three of them were very ugly, seeing this scene, Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Things ......

"It's the old body that is incompetent, and he has betrayed the trust of the old lady." Mama Ping's face was particularly gloomy, and these words were not only to answer her questions, but also to ask the Lu family for her guilt.

Lu Shi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What's the use of talking about this now?" ”

Fu Shi also said astringently: "The most important thing now is to get the letter back." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie asked, "Why doesn't Mrs. Wu refuse to return the letter?" ”

"She said that the letter was written by Si Niang, and she wanted to take it back, and she also wanted Si Niang to go in person, and promised her that she would never entangle Qu Fuzi again, nor would she rely on the power of the Bai Jialin family to retaliate against their couple, so she was willing to pay it back, but as for the benefits promised by the old lady, she said that she didn't want it at all." Mama Ping said in a low voice.

"She said she didn't want benefits, or she really just wanted to live a good life, but she was worried that our family would be bigger than them." Lu Shi sighed, "Either the plan is bigger, but now that the letter is in her hands, she said to Mama Ping, after Mama Ping looked for her, she put it to others, as for who it is, only she knows, that Qujiazhuang is the property of the nobles of Chang'an, and the government order of Moling does not dare to go over and search at will...... In the end, Siniang has to meet her in person, and this matter can be over. ”

Fu Shi smiled bitterly: "Siniang is like that, I don't know what will happen when I see Mrs. Wu......"

"Does the old lady have any plans?" Zhuo Zhaojie listened, pondered for a moment, and asked.

Lu Shi looked at her deeply, and said: "But I asked Xiaoniang to help - this Qujiazhuang is not an ordinary place, but it is placed by the nobles of Chang'an in Jiangnan, except for the people of this village, it is difficult to get close to leisure, and Mama Ping still asked a distant relative to go in, but not far from Xiaohezhuang, there is a small courtyard, which is the marriage of your sister-in-law, and I have sent someone to tell her, saying that Siniang she can't eat, and Guy is stuffy at home, so it is better to go out and live for two days...... I like that her annex is small, easy to clean up, and the scenery is good...... I have already asked someone to clean it up - otherwise, our family will somehow send someone to find Mrs. Nawu, I'm afraid that the matter has not been discussed yet, and it has attracted the attention of those who have a heart first! ”

Fu Shi answered and said, "It's just ...... It's hard for us elders to come forward in this matter. ”

Although the Bai family is now in charge of the young lady Meng, but the Lu family is the longest elder of the Bai family, of course she can't go out at will, the Fu family is also the one who handed over the matter to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter is about to leave the cabinet, she went to live in another courtyard at this time, I am afraid that nothing will be reported.

Zhuo Zhaojie understood: "Do you want me to accompany Sister Bai with my cousin to live for a few days, and by the way, meet with Mrs. Nawu and bring the letter back?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Siniang did what she did by herself, so that you were involved and annoyed, she was already sorry for you, but she was just ...... Can Niang sex. Zi anxious, our girls have grown up few, and the only eldest lady was ...... last year" Speaking of this, seeing that Fu's eyes were red again, he sighed and didn't mention it, and continued, "But Zhuo Xiaoniang, although you are younger than Siniang and Canniang, you are stable and have ideas, not to mention that this matter should not be known by too many people......"

Zhuo Zhaojie pondered for a while, and said: "It's about Sister Bai's life, I can help, naturally I want to help, it's just that my grandmother ......."

"I personally wrote to her begging her to allow you to stay in that courtyard for a few days." Lu Shi said sincerely, "Even if the matter doesn't work out, the Bai family should also try to prevent Zhuo Xiaoniang from being involved!" ”
