Xiang Li Yuan

Late at night, except for the people who waited for the night in the courtyard, they had all gone back to the room to rest, Lu Zhifang came back from outside, and after asking the people outside the courtyard, he saw Lu Yao waiting outside his room when he entered the courtyard.

Pushing the door into the house, the maids knew that he didn't like to wait in front of him at night, so they put down the tea and withdrew, only Lu Yao followed.

"Why are you drunk?" Lu Zhi threw the untied cloak on the soft couch and frowned and asked.

Lu Yao lowered his head and told the story of what happened in Shuyunlou that he secretly followed up before, as well as what happened when he was intercepted by Ah Sheng, followed by King Wei's carriage, and transferred Yucai on the street near the Huaiguo Mansion, and finally said:

"Your subordinates follow your words, young master, if you meet someone from the Wei Palace, you won't resist, but I don't know if tonight's incident is inappropriate?"

Lu Zhi, who had been tired all day, rubbed his eyebrows, and after being silent for a moment, he said, "I know, you go out." ”

When he was the only one left in the room, Lu Zhifang frowned, holding the teacup and thinking alone.

Last night had a hangover, and Yu Yu was woken up by thirst in the morning, and before dawn, Pingtong heard the movement in the house, so he took the warm water prepared in advance and entered the house.

After another half an hour, the remnant of the jade who drank water and slept back into the warm quilt came out again, and Pingtong took a hot handkerchief to her who was leaning on the head of the bed and wiped her little hands to wake up, and said:

"What's wrong with Miss?"

Looking sideways at the flower and bird patterns on the screen on the side of the bed, he shook his head and nodded, "My throat is a little uncomfortable." ”

Because I drank the sobering soup that Ping Tong cooked in the small kitchen in the courtyard last night, except for the dry throat, there was no headache and fatigue and bad feelings, no, if it was a bad feeling, in addition to the throat, there should be the same.

"Pingtong, how did I get back last night?" Yi Yu rubbed her head that didn't hurt, and asked in a hoarse voice, she only remembered that she drank a glass of wine from the prince on the second floor of Shuyun Pavilion, and then went downstairs in a daze, and the impression of the things behind was blurred, and there were only some scattered fragments left, and she couldn't put them together.

As soon as the movements of Ping Tong's hands stopped, Ping Hui lit the lamp with a fire fold, and said quickly:

"Miss, you don't remember, you were drunk yesterday, and it was the prince who drove you back."

Yi Yu was reminded by Pingtong like this, first stunned, and then sighed helplessly, the more he didn't want to be involved, the more he touched each other endlessly. She had a little impression of seeing Li Tai outside Shuyun Pavilion, as if she was helped by him because she almost fell, but how he sent her back, she had no impression at all.

She frowned, wringing her mind to think about what had happened last night, but the memory seemed to break after that fall, as if something important had been forgotten by her, but she couldn't remember it.

The gauze lamp in front of the bed was lit by Pinghui, which was a little clearer than in the room just now, Pingtong, who looked at the jade, looked at the ruddy little face at the head of the bed, and after seeing her lower lip, which was still a little red and swollen, he quietly twisted the veil with hot water, and said to her:

"Miss, take a hot handkerchief and put it on your face, it seems that you are drunk, and there are some bruises."

"Okay." Yi Yu closed her eyes very obediently, and let her put a warm and comfortable handkerchief on her face, and the faint smell of wine in her nose disappeared because of the moisture.

The sky was getting brighter, and in the morning someone came to pass the word to the Li Yuan, Yi Yu and Lu Zhi packed up, and went to the front yard dining room for breakfast, on the way, only the brother and sister of Pingtong and Pinghui were followed behind them, talking about last night's events.

"According to the meaning of the eldest brother, is Eldest Sun Xian planning to exclude me?" Yi Yu copied his sleeves with both hands, held the hand stove, and asked. It's November, and it's getting colder, so this morning she has added another dress, and now the breath she exhales is white.

"Well," Lu Zhi explained to her the importance of communication to the children of the scholar clan, and at the end of his words, he said, "In a few days, I will hold a small banquet in our house and invite some friends to meet you." ”

Yi Yu listened to his thoughtfulness for himself, with a smile on his face, and said softly as he walked forward, "Big brother, you concentrate on your business, find your mother, my side, I can deal with it myself." ”

Although she didn't know what Lu Zhi was doing, she also knew that he was very busy every day, and he had to worry about her affairs from time to time, wouldn't it be too tiring.

Lu Zhi turned his head to look at her, saw her smiling face, clearly recognizable insistence, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Deal with it?" ”

"You're underestimating me," Yu Yu glared at him with feigned dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, I don't dare to underestimate you. Then the eldest brother has less ** heart, if you can't cope with it, talk to the eldest brother. Lu Zhi did not insist, from the beginning, he did not put Yiyu, the only sister, in the palm of his hand to take care of it, but put all kinds of problems in front of her and watched her grow.

"Well, by the way, there is something I forgot to discuss with you, the deed signed by our family with Daxing Dried Fruit Bank, I think ......"

The two chatted all the way into the dining room in the front yard, and when they entered the house, they heard Lu Jingshan's laughter, the two rooms of the Lu family were already seated, and they sent two brothers and sisters, and when they saw the two come in, they stopped laughing, and after Yu Yu and Lu Zhi saluted several elders, Lu Zhi sat down under the right hand of the old man Lu, and Yu Yu sat down next to him.

"But what good things to say?" The next person gave the two of them hot porridge, Lu Zhi asked.

Lu Jingshan's mouth was the fastest, her face was full of joy, and Lu Zhongzhi couldn't speak, so she said, "Isn't it a good thing, Xiaoyu didn't tell your eldest brother?" ”

Yi Yu, who was touching the hot porridge to warm his hands, was suspicious, and asked rhetorically: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Jingshan smiled slightly, and looked at Lu Shuqing, who was whispering to the Zhao family, "Shuqing, didn't you say that Xiaoyu knows?" ”

"Yes, I know," Lu Shuqing looked at Shang Yiyu's puzzled gaze, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said, "But she was drunk last night, I'm afraid she forgot to tell the eldest brother that the two of us were selected to write a book, isn't it, second sister?" ”

Yi Yu was weird when she shouted "second sister", but because Lu Zhi looked sideways and ignored it for the time being, he smiled helplessly and said to him: "I forgot to tell you, I just heard about being selected to write a book last night." ”

Lu Zhi's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "It's a good thing." ”

Dou Shi, who was sitting at the bottom of the last position opposite the remaining jade, suddenly sighed: "I really envy my sister-in-law and younger siblings, not to mention my younger sisters, I am a blessed person with sons and daughters, that is, sister-in-law, you have no son, and the daughter you raise is better than the top son," her expression darkened, "It's a pity that I have reached such an age, but I don't even have a daughter in front of me." ”

Although the Zhao family and the Dou family had determined that the Lu family was their sister-in-law who was expelled from the house back then, the old man Lu did not open his mouth to tell them, so they tacitly did not make this matter clear.

Zhao listened to Dou's words with thorns, his expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Speaking of this, it reminds me that the second brother still has a few concubines in the south, and it looks like we are also reborn in Beijing, should we bring people over, our Guogong Mansion has had a lot of happy events recently, maybe it is impossible to rush forward, and it is not impossible for the younger brother and sister to want to hold a daughter." ”

Dou's face changed, he smirked, and said: "I just said it so casually, my brother and sister have no news at the moment, how can our master go to the mansion to pick up those ignorant people, wouldn't it add to the chaos." ”

After speaking, she also glanced at Lu Ronghe beside her, afraid that he would be hooked by Zhao's words, and remembered those foxes in Yangzhou.

Before Zhao could say something, he was interrupted by a soft snort, and Old Man Lu, who had been silent, glanced at the two daughters-in-law, looked down at the two of them, and then said to the two granddaughters with a straight face:

"This book writing sounds glorious, but if something goes wrong, the trouble is not small, Shuqing, Xiaoyu, you are both sensible children, but you are still young, don't be blinded by this vanity, remember to do things more seriously and carefully in the future, when you go out, don't fall into the reputation of our Lu family, remember?"

"The child remembers." Yi Yu and Lu Shuqing said in unison.

Old man Lu saw that the two were well-behaved and obedient, and his expression softened, but the juniors at this table mostly saw that the old man was not very happy about the participation of his two granddaughters in writing this book, so Lu Jingshan, who was beaming before, and Zhao, who was secretly proud, both restrained their expressions, and Dou, who was a little red-eyed, no longer smirked.

Yi Yu saw the movement on this table clearly, coupled with the secret fight between the Zhao family and the Dou family before, he couldn't help but sigh: This house is big, it is really a lot.

Yesterday Mu rested, today I have to go to school to go to class, it was too early, Lu Zhi and Lu Shuqing, the three of them, took the carriage to Guozijian together, along the way, the car was surprisingly quiet, if it was placed before, Yu Yu still had the heart to take a few words with Lu Shuqing, but after what happened in Shuyun Pavilion last night, she still had another layer of estrangement with this cousin who was not close to her.

asked her to take the initiative to make friends with Lu Shuqing, but it was impossible, because she herself was not a person who liked to use a hot face to post upside down.

The three of them got off at the front door, and the widow looked up at the three words "Guozijian" on the blue-headed stone plaque hanging on the high lintel of the Guozijian, and felt a little unexpectedly that it was far away, from the beginning of the trial in Dali Temple, it was only a few days, but it made her feel like she had been for a long time, and she had experienced more things, and it seemed that even the days had become longer.

"Miss Lu, Second Miss, Master Lu, early."

A series of greetings made Yu Yu retract her gaze and fall on the students who passed by to greet them, the colorful winter clothes, although it was not good to look at, but it made her feel kind, although she had experienced many more bad things than happy things in the past few months in this school.

In addition to the vicinity of the big garden and the gentleman's building, the trees planted in other places have become bare by this time, but they are not ugly, the three of them walked to the fifth courtyard, Yiyu looked up at the branches on the side of the road that were swayed by the wind, and turned his head from time to time to say hello or two, a gust of cold wind blew, and the breath was a cool smell, but it gave rise to a real sense of stability in her heart.
