Chapter 18 Grafting (I)

The Lei Mansion looks particularly tall and solemn in the morning light, and the two stone lions in front of the door are like angry eyes and open their mouths to eat people, looking at every pedestrian who approaches the gate of Lei Mansion without pity.

A carriage sped straight at a stunned speed and stopped abruptly in front of the gate of Lei Mansion. An old man jumped out of the car, then turned around and helped a delicate woman and a middle-aged woman to the car, took the gift bag in the car and hurriedly followed the woman to the gate of Lei Mansion.

After a mountain sound and an eager knock on the door, there were several lazy and extremely reluctant cries from the courtyard: "Who is it early in the morning?" One by one, they are like ghosts, is it possible to rush to reincarnate today? I don't let people rest, sleep and eat. The door then cracked slowly with a loud sound, and a small man guarding the door poked out half of his head, and shouted with a sleepy face: "Who are you?" The one in the house, who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning to make noise, what is the matter with looking for Lei Xiangye? ”

Steward Wu hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "We are from Du Mansion on the outskirts of the city, this is my Mrs. Liu and the eldest lady, please ask the elder brother to report to the master, just say that Mrs. Liu of Du Mansion kicked the door to ask to see her, and there is something important to discuss." After listening carefully, the little guy knew that Du Fu was also a figure with a head and a face in the capital, so he smiled and said: "Since Mrs. Du Fu Liu personally kicked the door to visit, then please wait for a while, and the little one will report immediately." With a grimace, he stretched out a strange hand with filth in front of Steward Wu, staring at Steward Wu with a gloomy smile on his face in a daze.

Steward Wu understood in his heart that this was a treacherous extortion move by a big family guarding the door, so he had to smile bitterly, took out a few scattered loose money from his pocket and put it in the hands of the little guy. The little guy happily dropped a sentence, "You wait for the time being, and the villain will report it." With that, his head shrank, the door tightened, and as soon as the bell rang, the gate of Lei Mansion closed again. Only a few lonely and lonely figures were left swaying back and forth in the morning sun, fragmented, half-bright and half-gone.

Mrs. Liu sighed helplessly, turned to look at the golden morning sun in the sky, and was stunned for a moment. She seemed to see the ten thousand golden lights behind the clouds in the sky, and the flames were thousands of miles; It was as if he had seen the storm surging behind the dark clouds, and the evil clouds covered the sun.

"Master, as you expected, Mrs. Liu from Du Mansion personally kicked the door to visit, can we see each other?" Steward Ma once again stretched out his gloomy face like a bull's head and a horse's face and said to Master Lei, and there was a faint hint of treacherous joy between his eyebrows.

"Haha, Steward Ma, why didn't someone personally knock on the door to visit us? But we have to make them wait for goodbye, and wouldn't it be better for the fish to bite the bait themselves when they are in a hurry. We also save the heart of rolling around, isn't it also the first piece of rejuvenation of the wonderful hand. Master Lei sat on the master chair in the study and closed his eyes to recuperate, and said with a happy and leisurely expression, a ray of sunlight through the window shining directly on his old face, which looked even more eerie and terrifying.

"Well, the old slave will first invite Mrs. Liu into the house to wait for tea, and then it will not be too late to invite the master to an interview." Steward Ma said again, and then made a gesture to leave the study.

"Well, go ahead. Let's just say that the old man is ill, and I'll see you later. Master Lei turned around and told Steward Ma again, as if he had calculated it in his mind, and had already thought of a foolproof plan for Mrs. Dufu Liu.

The gate of Lei Mansion creaked open again, and Steward Ma immediately ran out of the courtyard and saluted with his fists: "I don't know that Mrs. Liu has arrived, and it is really the fault of the old slave to miss the distance." Mrs. Liu, please come here. followed the old slave into the Lei Mansion. After that, Steward Ma seriously made a gesture of please.

Mrs. Liu immediately smiled and said: "Butler Ma is polite, the old body is tired of you running before and after grabbing it, you really don't want to go, where can Steward Ma suffer from the old body." Butler Martha, please too. ”

Steward Ma clenched his fists again and smiled: "Since Mrs. Liu is so humble, then you can come with the old slave." Don't be humble here, it's the right way to go into the hall and serve tea. ”

Mrs. Liu immediately replied, "Yes, as Steward Ma said." If married, Steward Wu, let's enter the Lei Mansion together. ”

"Well, madam, the old slave will give you a hand." Steward Wu added this sentence again.

In the living room of Lei Mansion, the atmosphere is extremely secret. Mrs. Liu and his entourage have sat in the hall for three rounds of wine and tea, and they still don't see the eldest master of Lei Mansion come out to see each other, even Lei Gongzi, who often corresponds with Du Gongzi on weekdays, seems to have disappeared at this time, and he doesn't know where to go, knowing that Mrs. Liu came to visit each other and didn't see her figure to narrate, chatter, chatter. The father and son of the Lei family seem to have deliberately left Mrs. Liu in the lobby, although the housekeeper of Lei Mansion has explained to Mrs. Liu, Master Lei has been ill recently, and there are many inconveniences, but the way of hospitality can not be so cold and not hot.

Depressed, cold, tormented, all kinds of emotions surged into Mrs. Liu's heart at once. Mrs. Liu deliberately took another sip of tea and sighed lightly: "Hey, the phoenix in this world is really like a chicken, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Steward Ma, why hasn't your master come out to see me, I'm so anxious. Please report it again, please come out of your family, and we will discuss it. ”

"Madam, seeing that you are in a hurry, you are not in a hurry at this time. My master Lei has explained, and I will come out to see you later. Madame, you'd better use tea first. Steward Ma, who was accompanying him in the hall, comforted him at this time, secretly his heart had already blossomed, and what he was waiting for in Lei Mansion was this opportunity.

After staying for a while, the wordless silence and repression seemed to have reached the extreme of Mrs. Liu. She raised her eyes and looked at a wide courtyard outside the hall, flowers, birds, and insects, each contending with each other, and willow branches and branches, each still in each other. Looking back at the butler Marton who was with him close his eyes and pausing, the corners of his mouth instantly squirmed a few times, and he wanted to say something but stopped talking, so he had to look at the butler Ma who fell asleep regretfully.

The shadow of the moon shifts, and time is like an arrow. The tea in the lobby of Lei Mansion was changed one after another, but the shadow of Master Lei appeared in the welcome hall. Mrs. Liu was vaguely aware of the strangeness of the matter, and was about to speak out to inquire about Steward Ma, when there was an immediate apology from Master Lei outside the lobby.

"Ouch, it's really a sin for the old man to keep Mrs. Liu waiting for a long time. It's all because the old man is sick and sick, he didn't come late, he didn't come early, but he made trouble at the juncture when Mrs. Liu came to the house. Mrs. Liu, please have a lot of them. ”

Mrs. Liu followed the prestige, and Master Lei had already stepped through the door. For a while, he was overjoyed, stepped forward, and said again and again: "Unrelated, irrelevant, it is a great honor for Master Lei to come out to meet Du Fu, and how dare the women dare to blame Master Lei for being late." Master Lei, please take a seat here. ”

"Ma'am, please." Master Lei also said politely, and everyone sat down as guests. The maid who was waiting next to her poured the hot tea in time and stepped aside. Butler Ma didn't stand up from his seat stupidly, standing beside Master Lei, and it was very funny to look obedient to orders.

Mrs. Liu didn't wait for Master Lei to ask, so she spoke straight first. Mrs. Liu first said: "Master Lei, the women's family has something to discuss. It's a matter of children's lives, I don't know what Master Lei wants? Would you like to listen to the old woman? ”

Master Lei pretended to be surprised and said: "Mrs. Liu is polite, last time I was sorry for your love and gave a special chrysanthemum event, and the old man has not thanked Mrs. yet." Now that Mrs. Liu has something to trust, how can Lei refuse someone thousands of miles away. If so, wouldn't it be even more Lei's. What is the trouble to disturb the heart, Mrs. Liu said that it is okay, Lei will definitely help. ”

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and Mr. Lei's words just now had made Mrs. Liu have all the doubts in her heart. She said happily: "Master Lei, it's the kid from my Qingfeng who stole the 'Black Stone Qilin' after drinking." A few days ago, Lord Futai Sun had just put his child in prison, and my lord was not at home, so the old woman was so anxious that she had no choice before she remembered to disturb Master Lei! Please bear with me. ”

"Alas, Mrs. Liu, how can this be true, isn't your family's business my business! You're welcome. I heard that my family Tianyi was also involved in this matter, but I don't know why Lord Futai Sun released all the sons, and it was Du Gong's fault to sit alone? After Master Lei turned over the politeness, he asked rhetorically in surprise.

This, this is what the old woman has been puzzled about. Since it is your son of Lei, the son of another family, the son of Xin, the son of Xun and others are all glued together, why did my family Qingfeng make a mess. Master Lei, you have a wide face in the court and many protΓ©gΓ©s, so I will ask you to do me a favor and excuse my family Qingfeng for stealing, so that Lord Futai Sun will judge the case early and let my family Qingfeng return. The old woman will be rewarded in the future. Mrs. Liu said without any strange feelings, not realizing that there were tears in her eyes, and she looked like she was already dizzy with pain.

"Mother, don't be like this. Let Master Lei smile. Brother must be fine, isn't Master Lei helping us find a way, why do you cry as soon as you open your mouth, it's disturbing. Du Ruma couldn't see her mother's sadness at this time, so she interjected to comfort Mrs. Liu.

"Yes, ma'am, you don't have to be so compassionate. Don't you see that Master Lei helped us come, the eldest son will definitely return safely. Steward Wu also comforted Mrs. Liu on the side, in fact, he also had a sour and bitter feeling in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, you should contain your sorrow. The old man sent someone to invite Lord Taisun to come over to the house to talk about it, didn't the truth come to light? However, I have to grieve Mrs. Liu to wait for a while in the Lei Mansion. As soon as Master Lei spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Liu very quickly, and then turned around and instructed Steward Ma: "Steward Ma, you immediately order your subordinates to invite Lord Taisun of the city to come over the mansion, there must be no mistakes, go and return quickly, the sooner the better." Then he added a heavy sentence: "Look, Mrs. Liu is still waiting for Lord Sun's reply in our house." ”

The butler raised his hand in answer and turned away. After a while, Steward Ma ran back and replied breathlessly: "Master, the old slave has sent someone to invite Master Sun according to your instructions, and it will only be there in a moment." Master Lei rolled his eyes and ordered: "Steward Ma, after the United Nations University passes, you will set up a morning banquet in the pavilion in the back garden, and I will treat Lord Sun and Mrs. Liu to thank Mrs. Liu for their past treatment." The butler of Ma Da was happy in his heart, knowing that Master Lei had another trick to play, so he hurriedly responded: "Everything follows the master's instructions, I will go down according to the line, and wait for Lord Sun to come to the house." ”
