Chapter 60: Remembered
Last night, Yi Yu agreed with Lu to visit Xianrong Courtyard, but the next morning, Yi Yu saw that her mother's face was not very good, so she proposed to go alone, and Lu agreed without much hesitation.
So early in the morning, Yi Yu brought the lotus bag yarn clothes and other things carefully embroidered by the mother and daughter a while ago, and led Xiaoman to the Xianrong Courtyard.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, it was still a closed gate, Xiao Man stepped forward and patted the door a few times, and after a while, a small servant came to answer the door, saw the relics outside the door, and invited them in with a smile.
The Xianrong courtyard was still the same regular but quiet and elegant appearance, and the little maid led them all the way to the flower hall on the east side to entertain guests, and after Yuyu sat down, he trotted to find Steward Li.
Yi Yu sat on the mahogany chair, gently rubbing the armrests of the wood, she didn't know these things before, but after running around in Chang'an City for a few months, she also knew a thing or two about this good and bad object. The wood used to make furniture - rosewood, sorrel wood, red sandalwood, they show different degrees of yellow-red or purple-red, is commonly known as mahogany, and the best furniture belongs to these different kinds of mahogany with beautiful patterns.
After a while, Yi Yu didn't wait for Steward Li, but saw Li Le running in from outside the flower hall.
She raised her eyes to look at Li Le, who rushed straight to Xiaoman when she entered the door, only to feel that she hadn't seen him for two months, and his face was even darker.
"Xiaoman!"
"Brother Li!"
Looking at the two people who had no physical contact, but their eyes had long been glued to each other, Yi Yu felt that he had been ignored by this little lover. But looking at them like this, the situation is better than he imagined, at least Li Le's eyes can't be fake, he really likes Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, how are you doing lately, have you been bullied?" Yi Yu raised his eyebrows, look at what he said, Xiaoman is now living in her house, who can be bullied, isn't this a turning around questioning whether he treats Xiaoman badly.
"No, Madame and Mademoiselle are good to me!" Yi Yu smiled, and said in her heart that this little girl was telling the truth.
"Really? But I see that you have lost weight, you don't know, since I beat me I know that you have been a maid, so I worry that you will suffer all day long......" Yi Yu only found out today that this Li Le not only has a long black face, but also speaks quite poorly, she is such a big person sitting here, and he dares to arrange her family.
Looking at Xiao Man, whose face became more and more dazzling under Li Le's uncontrollable "caring greetings", Yi Yu finally coughed heavily, reminding them to pay attention to the presence of himself, an "outsider".
The two of them took a step back like startled rabbits, and Yi Yu swept them all over with his eyes, before he smiled at Li Le and asked, "Brother Li Le, isn't Steward Li here?" โ
"My dad just left the house not long ago." Although Li Le was four or five years older than Yi Yu, under the reminder of his father, he did not treat the "Miss Lu Family" in front of him as a little girl.
Hearing Li Le's answer, Yi Yu first nodded, and then asked directly, "Does Steward Li disagree with your business?" โ
Such a sudden sentence stunned the two parties, Xiao Man's face had lost the ruddy just now, and Li Le also looked at a loss.
As soon as the words were asked, Yi Yu felt that there was no need to continue to stay here, and put the things he brought in order on the tea table on the side, so he got up and said: "Since Steward Li is not here, then I will go back first, Xiaoman, you stay and make it clear to him, don't miss home for dinner at noon." โ
After speaking, Yi Yu turned around and walked out of the flower hall, no longer looking at the reactions of the two. She also thought about knocking on Li Le's side last night, but when she saw the two of them looking like they were affectionate today, she felt that it was unnecessary, rather than her being so sideways, it was better to put the problem in front of them directly, so that they could think about it themselves.
Out of the Xianrong Courtyard, Yi Yu slowly walked towards her house, put aside Xiaoman's matter for the time being, she began to worry about the Lu family again, so until she walked to the door of the house, she didn't notice the eyes of pedestrians on the street looking at her.
In this era of serious poverty in entertainment activities, information can not circulate, but the speed of gossip is absolutely rapid, the mother and daughter have lived in Longquan Town for three years, and they are slightly known because they made a little money a few years ago, but since the third aunt came to the door the day before yesterday, in just two days, there are few people in the town who don't know that there is a Lu family in the town.
The people who watched the excitement that day learned a few passages of Yiyu and Lu's words, so many people in the town knew that Miss Lu was smart and delicate, although Lu was a widow, she was a knowledgeable and kind-hearted person, and their family got a few thousand taels of silver was poked out, and many people began to inquire about the Lu family.
After some inquiry, those people were even more excited, only to say that the Lu family actually moved out of the Xianrong Courtyard three years ago, and it seemed that they had some "kinship" with the high-rise mansion compound. The Lu family also has two handsome sons, one is still studying in the Guozi School in Chang'an City, and the two young men are over sixteen years old, and they have never even said anything about their relatives, which can excite some families who have daughters to marry.
Just when Lu's mother and daughter were unaware, some of them had already moved.
***
When Yi Yu returned home, Lu was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard basking in the sun, and when he saw her coming back, he smiled and asked a few words.
Yi Yu saw that although there were still red threads in her eyes, her spirit was much stronger than that of getting up early, and her worried heart eased up, and secretly said that her mother didn't think it out, but she couldn't slow down for a while.
Because of Xiaoman's permission, Yi Yu didn't hide her affairs from the Lu family, and after a brief explanation, the Lu family only reminded her not to get involved too much, so she didn't say anything more.
Yi Yu went to make a pot of tea for the Lu family again, and then got the effort to take care of the flower garden in the backyard. The courtyard where they live now is larger than the one they used to live in the courtyard, and although there is no exquisite pavilion in the courtyard, the flower garden is specially paid for to be repaired, and most of the things planted in it have been moved from the poor little flower garden in the small courtyard that they rented before.
When Lu Jun was at home, Yi Yu took him to the wild forest under the Zhennan Mountain when he was free, and even let her find a few good things, the aloe vera with jasper skin was larger than the one she planted in the mountain village, and the slender potato vera could be boiled porridge and drunk and suffocated and dipped in sugar, and the rarest was the strawberry she accidentally found last year.
After a new home, Yu Yu set aside a small area in the new flower garden to move the half-fruited strawberries into it, and after several months of growth, the strawberries that had borne fruit twice spread out many slender vines. Because of her "special" care, every three months, the family can always eat fresh strawberries.
Yesterday, Lu Zhi also reminded her that the next time she goes to Chang'an, she will bring more mint grass, and it just so happens that the strawberries will be ripe next month, so I will bring him a little bit at that time.
***
When it was close to lunch, Xiao Man came back, and saw Yu Yu cooking in the kitchen and hurriedly came up to grab it, Yu Yu saw that although her eyes were red, she seemed to be in a good mood, so she let her take over, and she stood aside and whispered about her and Li Le.
The result was beyond Yiyu's expectations, it is true that Steward Li did not agree that the two of them were together, but the reason was not as Yiyu thought, because he hated the poor and loved the rich, on the contrary, he felt that his son had signed a deed of sale, and thought that Li Le was not compatible with Xiaoman, who was born in a farmer's family, so he grounded Li Le until now, but Li Le never thought about dying, and kept persuading his father.
The two had already discussed it in the morning, and Xiao Man told her uncle about the two of them as soon as possible, if the parents of both sides insisted on disagreeing, they would not die, and just try to persuade them, after all, the problem between them was just the obsession of the elders.
Yi Yu was surprised that the two of them were able to handle this matter so calmly, but she agreed very much, and after encouraging Xiao Man, she didn't ask more questions for the time being.
