Chapter 183 Jiangnan

When Song Xinci was asleep, Yining threw the lotus bag on their bed quietly, secretly observing the attitude of the master and servant, like a jade report, sure enough, Song Xinci found that the lotus bag was behind him, his face changed greatly, and he looked panicked and depressed, and later found it on the bed, and put it back on his body, and no other information was revealed.

This discovery made Yu Yu bored for two days, selfishly, she didn't want her second brother to have any close ties with such a shrewd and overly selfish woman, but now it seems that this probability is getting bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, Li Tai has intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the progress of the Soul Suppression Pill these days, and Yu Yu has retracted his heart, and asked people to tidy up a temporary pharmacy in the bedroom compartment, adjust the potion every day, pinch the pill, and have no time to think about anything else.

Seven or eight days passed, and when I was dizzy and difficult to sit on the boat, I was finally ready to dock.

In the middle of the afternoon, the boat docked directly at the small bend outside the west of Yangzhou City, Yi Yu was wearing a self-made white coat upstairs to bottle the two newly refined pills, Pingxia held the clothes, Pinghui held the hairpin on the side, and couldn't help urging:

"Master, it's not too late to get it when you settle down, let's change your clothes first."

"What's the hurry?" He hurriedly stuffed the medicine bottle, took the paste that had been boiled in the morning, put the label on the bottle, took a pen and wrote a few strokes on a small booklet, and put it into the medicine box that already contained a dozen bottles, and then got up and let the maids serve and wear.

At this time, it was popular in the south to wear half-arms, that is, to wear a tight-fitting narrow sleeve inside the clothes, and a short tunic with sleeves and elbows and waist length, including plackets, lapels, and pullovers, and many styles.

Pinghui picked up a very good set of clothes, cleaned it up, and dressed up the jade as a beautiful Nanhu blue lotus, if she didn't open her mouth, she would just think that it was a new marriage to a fair woman in Yangzhou City.

Yi Yu looked in the mirror, shook the hanging hair on his head and replaced it with a simulated golden stamen, and looked at the person in the mirror with satisfaction, which was much more solemn.

Pinghui secretly stuck out her tongue on the side, and secretly said that other people's ladies and ladies would like to pretend to be small, only their own masters, and they can't wait to draw two wrinkles on their faces to show how old they are.

As soon as he cleaned up, Li Tai came in from the outside, his eyes fell on the clothes that made Yi Yu look like his waist today, tightened, and Yu Yu was a little embarrassed to be looked at by him, knowing that half of his arm was delicate, he coughed lightly twice, pointed to the box on the case and said:

"I've pushed out a few prescriptions, there are no side effects, I've written down the symptoms one by one, you can find someone to try the medicine."

"Well," Li Tai walked over, wanting to hug her, but she held her arm and twisted her waist to dodge, bowed her head and whispered, "I'll let people help me walk." ”

Li Tai raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but bend down to clamp her up, and in her exclamation, he took the cloak handed by Ping Hui and wrapped the person from behind, and strode off the boat.

The two Song Xinci masters and servants had already disembarked from the boat, waiting on the shore, and saw that someone on the boat came down, so they looked up to see, the sky was still bright at this time, and there was nothing wrong with the eyes of the two, and at a glance they saw the figure of the man holding a "burden", and they knew that it was the old man Tang and his wife, and then at a glance, they were immediately shaken by Li Tai's skin, until the person walked past them, they were still stunned.

It's not that they are bad, it's really Li Tai, the number one beautiful man in the capital, whose title is not mixed with any water, and those unique eyes and beads, even the subordinates who serve daily in the Jade Courtyard often feel a little flustered when they see him, not to mention these two little girls who see Wenxiu Gongzi a lot in the south.

Song Xinci was okay, came back to his senses, and hurriedly pulled the red-faced magpie to bow his head and follow, and guessed the identity of the couple in his heart.

Fortunately, they were inevitably seen by the local spies, and the master and servant both covered their faces with a veil, otherwise they would have lost their temper, they were still good, there was a carriage parked on the shore, and before Li Tai sat on the jade with his arms, those porters passed by, and few of them were stunned and watched them get into the car.

Song Xinci and the magpie were led into another carriage by a gaze, and went to settle elsewhere, according to the meaning of the jade, they did not go with them, the master and servant two until now, and they also knew that the purpose of their trip was Yangzhou, and they couldn't help but secretly say that it was a coincidence, but they didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.

On the carriage, Yi Yu stretched out his hand and gestured on Li Tai's face, shook his head and said, "What about your mask, why don't you wear it." ”

Li Tai shook his head, he didn't have the habit of hiding the rivers and lakes, and their whereabouts this trip were quite hidden, no one in Yangzhou might receive the news that he was coming, and he instructed Zhou Ren to hand over the medicine box to Imperial Doctor Li through the window, and the coachman drove the carriage directly towards the city, and did not wait for the attendants who were still unloading the goods at the side of the case.

Yangzhou City is smaller than Chang'an City, the pattern of sixty square cities, not as prosperous as the wide street in Beijing, but it is better to build a unique style in the southern courtyard, the small bridge and flowing water can be seen everywhere, and the air is also the best.

Yi Yu put down a thin layer of screen windows, looking at the street scenery, she followed Li Tai, and also went to many places in the southwest, looking at the style of the south in Kun Yuanlu's manuscript, she has long been yearning for the southern water town, and now she is in it, so that she can understand what kind of fresh and elegant temperament this city that won countless literati and scholars in the future.

Lu Mansion lives in the east of the city, the old man Lu's secrecy is very home, so many years have passed, no one knows that this family started in business, what is involved with the court, and even the surname of Fan Yang Lu has no relatives, this may be called the big hidden in the city.

Due to the uncertainty of the arrival date, in the letter before coming, Yi Yu specifically said that no one needed to pick him up, and the driver who drove the car was a local, and he had already figured out where the Lu family was, and after half an hour, he stopped outside the gate of the Lu Mansion in a twist and turn.

This street is quiet, there are not many pedestrians coming, Yu Yu was carried by Li Tai and got out of the car, and before he was lost in the east and west, north and south, he heard a cry of surprise and joy behind him:

"Yes, is it Miss and Auntie?"

Yi Yu turned his head, and at the gate of the antique courtyard, among the four or five subordinates, he saw a familiar face, only to say that it was a general manager in the Huaiguo Mansion in Beijing, and he couldn't remember his name for a while, so he smiled at him and said:

"It's me."

"Miss, aunt, aunt," the middle-aged man bowed to Li Tai in a restrained manner, Zhou Ren had already stepped forward to do something, and after a while, four or five more people ran out of the courtyard, saying hello, and did not know the true identity of Li Tai, so he only called his aunt and miss.

"Grandmother, is she okay?" Yi Yu was carried through the door by Li Tai, and while talking to Lu He, the butler who recognized them, he looked into the courtyard.

The house is not big, the front yard is narrower than the banquet parlor of the Wei Palace, the eaves and walls are occasionally peeled off, a small piece of moss grows on the stone bricks on the ground, there are a few clusters of green plantains planted in the courtyard, the bones are exquisite, there is no wind to cool itself, as soon as you enter this house, it makes people feel calm.

"Okay, the old lady doesn't know how many days you will come, you have to wait in the front hall every morning, lunch, just go back to the inner courtyard to rest, the little one has already called someone to invite," Lu He walked in front of the guide and led the way, and led them into an upside-down hugging hall in the second door, and saw Li Tai carrying the Yu all the way to the chair and sitting down, and didn't ask much.

Only a maid came into the door to bring tea and water, and Yu Yu didn't have time to look at the furnishings in the house, so he heard the sound of crutches outside the door, accompanied by a light call, and looked up to see Mrs. Lu who was helped in by two maids.

"Is Yu'er here?"

Yi Yu didn't know why, when she saw this old man, she suddenly felt sad, and several pictures flashed through her mind, remembering that she was teaching in front of Old Man Lu's hospital bed, and remembering the appearance of her sitting alone in front of the window on the eve of the funeral, she got up with red eyes and greeted her, Pinghui hurriedly stepped forward to help, but her legs and feet were different, and she still fell into the eyes of everyone in the house.

"Grandmother, Yu'er is here." Yi Yu stretched out his hand, leaned lightly on her shoulder, and exclaimed.

"Good, good boy." Old Madam Lu held Yi Yu's hand, groped around her shoulder, and patted her gently.

The grandfather and grandson held hands, but they called each other, although they did not cry or tears, but they also made the viewer's eyes astringent.

Before Yi Yu came, there were several plans, in case Mrs. Zhou didn't come to Yangzhou, in case Mrs. Lu didn't want to explain it to her, in case they denied it, but if they really responded to all these things, she really couldn't come up with any way to ask in front of Mrs. Lu.

"The lady surnamed Zhou? The makeup skills are excellent, and they know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting," Mrs. Lu tilted her head, her face showing some confusion, "I don't know such a person." ”

"In this way, I may have misunderstood," Yi Yu took her hand and asked instead, "Then do you still have a portrait of you when you were young, and on the day your grandson got married, my mother said that I looked like you very much, which is really curious." ”

Old Madam Lu's face was slightly gloomy, and she sighed lightly, "There are two of them, but they both went with your grandfather." ”

Is it used as a funeral object, Yi Yu frowned, in front of outsiders, she can make her heart and eyes, but in front of her relatives and elders who really treat her well, she can't do that, Mrs. Lu's attitude makes her unclear, whether she is hiding it, or she has misunderstood.

appeased Mrs. Lu a few words, in order not to let her think more about the late Lu Zhongzhi, Yu Yu pulled the topic aside again, and told her something about her marriage, as for the two brothers Lu Zhi and Lu Jun, both of them had the intention of bringing it.

Li Tai had already sent someone to inquire about the Song family in the city, and he would report as soon as there was news of Lu Jun, and Song Xinci's master and servant were also anxiously waiting for the jade to be sent in their temporary residence.

(It's going to be late for the second watch, so you can't wait to rest first).
