Lu Si nodded slowly, and then opened his mouth to tell a story.

A couple who were arranged together by the family, Ben also lived a life of respecting each other and raising their eyebrows. But it all ended when the wife was seven months pregnant for the first time, when the husband took back a woman who had been sold for burial.

The woman became her husband's favorite concubine, asking for wind for wind, rain for rain, and if she wanted the stars in the sky, she would find a way to pluck them for her.

Because of the husband's love for the concubine, the subordinates of the family saw the wind and steered, and before the wife gave birth, the husband had an errand, and the concubine said that the wife's newborn child was stillborn.

She ordered her maid to bury the child, but the maid still had a trace of mercy, so she put the child in a wooden basin and went down the river, leaving her to fend for herself, and put a handkerchief made by her wife for the child in the child's swaddling clothes.

After the child was picked up, although he could survive in this world, he also lived an unhappy life.

"Don't say it......" Du Ruo said to Lu Si with tears in his eyes.

When she saw the scene of putting the child in the wooden basin in her dream, it turned out that was her?

She thought of the origin of her name, which the master had married according to the words on the handkerchief in the swaddling clothes.

The words of the elegant and noble woman were still echoing in her ears: "There is also a Ruo character in the name of the Hou Ye. ”

It turns out that she is not an orphan, her biological parents are alive, but they don't know about her existence, right?

She took off the jade bracelet that Liu put on her wrist, let go of her hand, and the jade bracelet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Every time she looks at Chen Zhongluo, is it because of blood relationship?

She didn't know how to accept it.

She shook her head and asked Lu Si not to say anything. She didn't want to hear it anymore.

Lu Wu hugged Du Ruo and let her lean on herself, letting her hot tears wet his clothes.

He was angry, useless men, useless women, let his Ah Ruo go through so much pain.

The eldest princess of Jing'an couldn't accept the truth of the matter for a while, "Mingyang, are you sure what you said is true?" When did you find out? ”

Lu Si was also a little unbearable when he saw Du Ruo's imminent collapse, but he always had to let them know the truth of the matter, as for how to choose, it was not up to him to control.

"Grandmother, yes. At that time, it was just because Ming Feng said that he identified her, and then he was afraid that Ah Ruo was a person with ulterior motives, so he checked it. ”

He didn't expect to dig deeper and deeper, and he would dig out such a secret.

Du Ruo sat there stunned, tears streaming down.

The eldest princess of Jing'an looked at her with pity on her face, and said to Lu Wu: "Mingfeng, you can take Ah Ruo back." Comfort her, this thing is incredible, I can't accept it at once. ”

Lu Wu pursed his lips and didn't speak, stood up silently, and walked out with Du Ruo in his arms.

The two were silent all the way, and Lu Wu just hugged her tightly, as if this would give her more strength.

When he arrived at Linglongju, Du Ruo grabbed Lu Wu, who was about to leave, looked at him, and didn't speak, just grabbed Lu Wu's hand tightly to prevent him from leaving.

"Ah Ruo, do you want me to accompany you?" Lu Wu asked Du Ruo in a low voice.

Du Ruo nodded. She didn't have the strength to speak now, and she didn't know whether to be sad or rejoicing.

It's sad that my parents and relatives are still there, but I don't know each other so closely. Thankfully, I had such an experience to know the man in front of me.

Such a blessing actually diluted her sadness a little.

Lu Wu knew that any comfort at this time was in vain, so he just sat quietly on the soft couch with Du Ruo, Du Ruo's head rested on his shoulder, and his eyes were dull and he didn't know where to look.

After a long time, Du Ruocai said softly: "Mo Xi, I don't want to recognize them. ”

"Okay." Lu Wu picked up quickly. "You are who you are, and it has nothing to do with who you are."

"Well, as long as you don't dislike me, nothing else matters." Du Ruo raised his head and looked at Lu Wu.

Lu Wu looked back at her, and the eyes of the two reflected each other's figures.

Du Ruo suddenly laughed, Lu Wu saw her laughing, and his heart was slightly lowered, but he still hung in the air, not daring to fall.

"When I started listening to the fourth master, I felt so miserable, why could I grow up with gold and dignity, but I grew up in the sound of the master's shouting and drinking; Obviously, you can wear gold and silver, and live with white skin and beautiful appearance; But those who come in the wind and go in the rain run for life. She stretched out her hands and stroked the thin calluses in them, which could have been maintained as smooth as jade.

She remembered what Master Izumo had asked her at the time, how she had answered her at that time, and what she still thinks now. God gave her so many tribulations, maybe just so that she could meet this gentle and handsome man in front of her.

So, she was content.

So, she won't recognize them.

"I heard Shi'er say that that home is also smoky. Don't say whether they recognize me or not, even if they recognize me, it is estimated that it will not be easy to go back. So, I'd better be my orphan girl. Du Ruo tilted his head to look at Lu Wu, and he could still see him every day.

"Okay, no matter what you want to do, I've got your back." Lu Wu's dark eyes looked at her seriously, looking like if you want to pick up the stars, he will also help find a way.

"Shall we drink? I secretly brought a jar of plum wine soaked in Dongjiang Mansion. didn't let Shi'er find out. ”

Du Ruo said playfully.

Since she recovered from her illness last time, she has slowly faded away from her gloomy personality and become vivid, and Lu Wu has deliberately taught her a lot of things, so that she will occasionally say some witty things to Lu Wu.

Lu Wu's eyes were crooked, and he looked at her with a smile: "Okay, you will accompany you whatever you drink." ”

Du Ruo jumped off the soft couch. He went out to get wine. Lu Wu's gaze followed Du Ruo's figure until he couldn't see it.

He propped one hand on the small table on the couch, but he didn't expect Ah Ruo to think about it so quickly. He also slowly turned from anger at the beginning to calm.

Indeed, as Ah Ruo said, if she hadn't been adopted outside, they wouldn't have known each other.

Even if they did, it wouldn't be the way it is now.

He hates the women in the inner house who smile toothlessly and have to go around several times in a word.

I don't like their caution even more, they are obviously seen by others, but they are still self-righteous.

None of them are as good as Ah Ruo.

Ah Ruo didn't pursue those, but he was unwilling to let go of those who had made Ah Ruo suffer. He secretly made up his mind in his heart.

"Girl, what do you want?" Bi Luo saw Du Ruo come out of the room, her eyes were red and swollen, her mood didn't look so sluggish, and she was vaguely a little excited.

She felt very strange, but she didn't dare to ask, just now in Chunhui Hall, after Mrs. Chang'an Hou left, Mama Lin drove them away, she stood outside the curtain and guarded, not allowing anyone to approach.

It took a long time to see the fifth master come out with the sobbing girl in his arms.

Facing the black face of the fifth master. She really couldn't muster up the courage to ask what was going on, so she could only silently follow back to Linglong Residence.

"Biluo, where is the little jar I brought from Dongjiang Mansion?" Du Ruo rummaged for a while and couldn't find it, so he had to ask Biluo.

Bi Luo took out a small jar from a cabinet in the corner, "Girl, are you alright?" ”

She handed the jar to Du Ruo and asked cautiously.

Du Ruo looked at Bi Luo's eyes with concern, and was afraid of touching her, so he couldn't help but hug her with emotion and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

Bi Luo looked at her suspiciously, not believing that it was okay, but if the girl didn't say it, it was definitely not something she could know.

Du Ruo went to the inner room with the altar and closed the door with his hand.

"Look, this wine is still too short, I don't know if it's good or not." Du Ruo handed the small wine jar to Lu Wu like a treasure.

Lu Wu opened the seal on the small wine jar, sniffed it, and said, "It smells very fragrant." ”

Du Ruo took two small teacups from the table not far away and put them on the small table, signaling Lu Wu to pour wine.

"Do you really want to drink it?" Lu Wu confirmed with her again.

Du Ruo nodded affirmatively.

Lu Wu poured two glasses. One of them was handed to Du Ruo, and one cup was placed in front of him.

Du Ruo picked up the cup and took a sip gently, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lu Wu with a smile, "It's really delicious, you drink it." ”

She pushed the wine glass in front of Lu Wu and stabbed his hand again.

Lu Wu picked up the cup, took a shallow sip, and put the cup down.

Du Ruo looked at him expectantly, wanting him to express his opinion.

Lu Wu saw her begging for praise, and a faint smile appeared on his face, but he just patted her head comfortingly.

Du Ruo pouted, drank all the wine in his cup, and then handed the teacup to Lu Wu, motioning for him to pour the wine.

"You don't know, when I can drink water and serve bowls, the master let me start drinking, and after drinking so much wine, I still like my own fruit wine." Du Ruo sat opposite Lu Wu and began to babble inconsequential words.

"In the spring, you can make plum wine, in the summer, you can make bayberry wine, in the autumn, you can make a lot of fruit wine, and in the winter, it is also good." Du Ruo counted the same with his fingers.

Lu Wu sat quietly opposite her, looking at her with a smile, she used this way to vent her pain, which was better than crying.

When it comes to eating, her eyes are shining, her face is fresh, and Lu Wu only feels that her love for her is deeper.

The heart of punishing those people is a little heavier.

The two of you drank the plum wine in the small wine jar one by one, and Du Ruoxu babbled about it, as if he wanted to say all the things that he hadn't said in the previous eighteen years.

Lu Wu had been looking at Du Ruo opposite with doting, and occasionally interjected.

The two of them were inside, and they didn't know that Biluo was anxious outside.

After she saw Du Ruo carry the small jar in, she also closed the door, and the lonely man and widow were in the same room.

She faintly heard that the princess would choose the day, but it was always better for a woman to be reserved.

She leaned on the door and wanted to listen to some movement inside, but she only heard the girl say there, and the fifth master occasionally said a word or two.

She wondered again.

"Snort, why do you like to listen to the corners of your masters so much?" Behind him came the voice of disdain in the dark night.

She glanced at the darkness of the night, sat back on the small stool, picked up the needlework at hand and continued to do it.

Dark Night leaned against the door, cloaking his hands and looking at the stupid Biluo. "I said, why are you girls so worried, you are still afraid that the master will eat Miss Du."

"You know what? The girl hasn't married the fifth master yet, so she is together like this, this is not Dongjiang Mansion, this is the princess's mansion. Spit stars can drown people," Bi Luo quickly threaded the needle in her hand, while scolding the dark night.

"You love to worry about it, can't the fifth master even protect a person? Besides, there's a princess here. Dark Night listened to it with disdain, and really didn't understand what this girl thought.

Fortunately, she just complained in front of him, he thought about it and said, "You just let go of your heart, the fifth master can't do it to Miss Du's baby." Don't talk about the fifth master, it's me, others want to say bad things about the girl I like, see if I don't beat him flat with a fist. ”

Dark Night waved his fist, he hadn't fought for a long time, since the accident of the fifth master.

Bi Luo glanced mockingly at the dark night waving her fists, and the wood that could only move her hands and not her brain.

In the inner room of the eldest princess of Jing'an, Mama Lin was helping the eldest princess of Jing'an to break her hair, only to hear the eldest princess of Jing'an sigh and say, "I don't know what happened to Ah Ruo's girl." She must have been sad. ”

"yes. There are five masters with me. Still not reassured? "Mama Lin understands that the eldest princess of Jing'an has taken Miss Du to heart.

She thought of Rong Niang again, if she hadn't died, her weight in the princess's heart would not be lighter than that of Miss Du.

She thought about it and secretly snorted twice, how could she think of that mourning star.

I only heard the eldest princess of Jing'an say: "I was worried that her status was too low before, and now I am worried about what she will do in the future." Oops, why do you say this kid is in so much trouble. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an stroked her forehead and complained to Mama Lin.

Mama Lin laughed, "My princess, why do you think she is troublesome, are you worried that she will have no one to accompany you when she returns home." You, pick a good day for the fifth master, and marry him back quickly. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an thought about it, she originally had to wait for Yu Dacheng to participate in the world's first chef before choosing the date, but now she had to let them settle down first, so she eagerly asked Mama Lin to get Huang Lilai, thinking about picking a good day quickly.

Seeing her eagerness, Mama Lin held her down again and said, "It's too late, you better rest first, and choose tomorrow,"

The eldest princess of Jing'an was persuaded by Mama Lin to lie down. Before going to bed, I didn't forget to remind Mama Lin: "Jinxin, you must choose a good day for the two of them tomorrow." ”

Mama Lin said angrily: "The slave will remember, you can rest assured." After saying that, he also went to rest on the soft couch.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

After Du Ruo and Lu Wu killed the plum wine in the wine jar together, their mood suddenly became better, it turned out that not all the sorrows would be more sorrowful when they were poured with wine.

Lu Wu took Du Ruo's hand, rubbed the thin cocoon in her palm, his heart was soft, and he said gently: "Ah Ruo, it's really good that you can think about it, just one thing you must remember, no matter what kind of person you are, what I like is you." ”

After saying the word Xinyue, Lu Wu's face turned red.

Although Du Ruo had heard him say good things before. However, it has never sounded so good.

At this time, nothing made her happier than love words, and she was also slightly red on her face, and her heart was happy.

So he nodded with a smile, leaned over with the arm of the man next to him and said, "I know." I rejoice in you, more than rejoicing. Because of you, I have the confidence to say that I don't want to recognize them. ”

After drinking so much plum wine, although Du Ruo was not drunk, under the influence of love words, he was also a little smoky, coupled with mood swings, so he leaned on Lu Wu's arm and fell asleep like that.

Lu Wu looked at the top of her head, and didn't hear her speak for a while, so he looked down, smiled dumbly, and actually fell asleep.

He didn't move, but waited for a while before gently picking her up, gently putting the person in his arms on the bed, removing her shoes, and covering the quilt.

Looking at Du Ruo, who was frowning in his sleep for a long time, he sighed deeply at the bedside. She kissed her on the forehead and lips, and then gently withdrew.

When I walked out the door, I saw Biluo dozing off on the kang. He didn't wake her up, opened the curtain and walked out.

Squatting on the courtyard wall in the dark night, he saw Lu Wu come out, jumped down, walked to Lu Wu, and smelled the faint smell of wine on his body, "Master, have you drunk?" ”

Lu Wu glanced at him lightly, said 'um', and walked towards his yard.

Dark Night followed behind and patted it gently, Ye is no longer a layman, so naturally he can pass through the intestines with wine and meat.

After Lu Wu returned to the courtyard, he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, so he simply got up and dressed and went to Lu Si's courtyard.

Poor Lu Si was sleeping soundly, and was beaten by Lu Wu's cold hand.

One turned over, grabbed Lu Wu's cold hand, and opened his worried eyes to see that it was Lu Wu.

He shook Lu Wu's hand out fiercely and said, "In the middle of the night, what are your nerves?" ”

Lu Wuyi took his robe and sat at the end of the bed and said, "I have something to ask you." ”

"You're not going to wait for dawn to ask me?" Lu Si was angry, he didn't let people sleep well, what was going on?

"I can't sleep." Lu Wu replied calmly.

"Are you so hungry that you can't sleep? Don't you often stay at Miss Du's in the middle of the night? Why didn't you succeed? He knew that he couldn't sleep, so he approved a coat, leaned on the head of the bed, and provoked Lu Wu.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're just talking, not as dirty as you think. Lu Wu glanced at Lu Si blankly, his mind full of filth.

"Chat? You can't do it, right? Do you want me to take you to Hualou to try? Lu Si looked disbelieving, looked the man in front of him up and down, and finally settled somewhere with bad intentions.

Lu Wu sat up straight and yelled at him: "I'm fine, I don't need to try, I haven't married Ah Ruo yet, how can I mess around." ”

Lu Si said "oh......", and said with a lewd smile on his face: "That is, you can mess around after getting married, right?" If you want to mess around quickly, you can quickly ask your grandmother to choose a day for you, and ask your sister-in-law to help you handle it. ”

Lu Wu didn't want to continue to discuss this issue with him, so he said: "You better take care of yourself, don't go to messy places, and be careful of getting sick." ”

"Hah! I'm clean and self-conscious. Lu Si covered the quilt and said.

"The devil believes it. Tell me about the matter related to Arro. Lu Wu said to Lu Si with a serious face, if he wants to punish those people, he must know the specific situation.

"Please, please, I'll tell you." Lu Si squinted at Lu Wu with a slanted face, and he couldn't live forever.

Lu Wu stretched out his hands, which were slender, well-proportioned, and had distinct joints. He clenched his fists and said to Lu Si, "Do you want them to come and beg you?" ”

Lu Si shrank into the bed, like a woman from a good family seeing a bully, and said, "Okay, tell you." ”

After speaking, he got up and put on a dress, and his shoes were not pulled, and he motioned for Lu Wu to follow with his shoes, and the two went to the small study.

He took out a stack of materials from a secret compartment in the small study and gave it to Lu Wu, yawned, and said, "Look slowly, I'm going back to sleep, you have to find someone to ask you to ask for a question, let the dark take you tomorrow." ”

Lu Wu buried his head in the information, and when Lu Si walked to the door, he suddenly said, "You better be modest." You're too small. ”

Lu Si didn't react for a while, and when he reacted after a while, he covered his body and yelled at Lu Wu: "Lu Mingfeng, you are young, you are young, Lao Tzu is not small." ”

Lu Wu sneered and continued to look at the documents in his hand.

"You thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, do you believe that Lao Tzu killed those insiders." Lu Si said hatefully.

Lu Wu glanced at him lightly and said, "Anyway, Ah Ruo is not going to go back to recognize his relatives, whatever you want." ”

Lu Si was short of words for a while, two neurotics, and then left angrily.

Lu Wu saw him leave and smiled softly, who made him always tease himself before, he deserved it.

After a while, he finished the document Lu Si gave him, and saw that it was written that the concubine's personal maid had redeemed herself and left the house, and she was married far away.

I have to say that she is quite smart. knew that if he continued to stay with that little concubine, he would die, so he spent a lot of money to ransom himself.

I don't know where that concubine got her confidence, and she has more than one life in her hands.

Sure enough, the woman is still too terrible, and his Aruo is simple and clear.

He took the information given by Lu Si and prepared to go back to the room to rest, and was going to show Du Ruo all this, since he knew, it was better to know it clearly.

He got up and saw that the secret compartment where Lu Si put the file was open, so he wanted to close it, but he was attracted by a brightly colored picture album inside.

He pulled out the album, sat down, opened it, and after flipping through a few pages, he blushed and wanted to stuff it back into the dark compartment, but he couldn't help but open it again and continue to look down.

While watching, he studied which postures he could try with Ah Ruo in the future, and at the same time secretly scolded himself for being a pervert and not getting married, so he blasphemed Ah Ruo.

So Lu Wu went through the album in a tangle and a little joy.

In the end, his face was red, and he returned to his yard in a strange posture.

After a long time, Lu Si found out that his secret album was missing, and he hurriedly went to look at other letters, whether there was any shortage of secret information, and when he found that only this was missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, before the eldest princess of Jing'an got up, Lu Wu, who had not slept all night, knocked on the door of Chunhui Hall.

The mother-in-law guarding the door saw Lu Wu coming over so early, and said in surprise: "Fifth master, the princess hasn't gotten up yet." ”

Lu Wu nodded in acknowledgment and walked inside.

Yu Yan just got up, and when he saw Lu Wu, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fifth Master, is there anything wrong so early?" The princess hadn't gotten up yet. ”

At this time, Lu Wu suddenly realized that he was too anxious, and he was embarrassed to go back, so he said to Yuyan: "I'll wait for my grandmother in the side hall, make me a cup of tea." Thick point. ”

Yu Yan led Lu Wu to the side hall, and when he heard the words, he went to make tea for him again.

Mama Lin heard the sound outside, got up and got dressed, came out and asked Yuyan, "Who came here so early?" ”

"It's the fifth master, and he's in the side hall." Yu Yan replied, snorting towards the side hall.

"Is there something wrong with coming here so early?" Mama Lin said and walked towards the side hall.

Lu Wu in the side hall calmed down and knew that he was too reckless, so he wanted to find his grandmother as soon as possible and ask her to settle the day quickly.

I didn't look at the time, but I came over in high spirits.

When he saw Mama Lin come in, he was even more embarrassed, and called out hesitantly: "Mama." ”

"Fifth master, this early in the morning, do you have anything to do with the princess?" Mama Lin saw that he was in good spirits, and at first thought that something had happened to Du Ruo.

"Nothing, nothing. I'll go back first, and I'll come back when my grandmother gets up. After speaking, he hurriedly walked out, Yu Yan walked in with tea, saw him walk out, and shouted: "Fifth master, tea." ”

Mama Lin looked at Lu Wu's back suspiciously, and shook her head, the fifth master has not been as calm and calm as before recently, and she seems to have seen the wanton fifth master many years ago.

When she entered the inner room, the eldest princess of Jing'an had already woken up, saw her come in, and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

Mama Lin took the clothes of the eldest princess of Jing'an from the smoke cage and waited for the princess to get up, and replied: "It's the fifth master, but he said that he was afraid of disturbing you, so he will come back later." ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an suddenly remembered that she said before going to bed yesterday that she would pick a day for Lu Wu and Du Ruo, so she said to Mama Lin: "You go and find out the yellow calendar and put it there, and then pick a day after breakfast, and take it to find the master outside the city." ”

Mama Lin looked at her helplessly, where was the majestic eldest princess in the eyes of outsiders.

When Du Ruo woke up, it was bright outside, the sun had climbed high, she was the only one in the room, she touched the clothes on her body, it was still yesterday.

She hugged the quilt and sat there in a daze, slowly recalling the events of last night, thinking of the sentence Lu Wu said, "I like her", buried her head in the quilt, and smiled sweetly.

She covered her red face, lifted the quilt and got up, and Biluo, who was outside the door, heard the noise inside, knocked on the door, and came in with water.

She saw Du Ruo sitting on the edge of the bed with her hair scattered, her face crimson, and her mood was very happy, she couldn't help but purse her lips and ask with a smile: "Girl, did you have a good dream?" ”

Du Ruo shook his head and said to her, "I didn't wash last night, and I felt stinky on my body." ”

Bi Luo choked when she heard this, and went out to bring hot water with Xiaoqiu to let her take a bath.

After taking a bath, Du Ruo only felt that the whole person was very refreshed, she touched her stomach, looked at the sun outside, and decided to go to the eldest princess of Jing'an to eat.

Moreover, yesterday must have worried the princess, and she had to go over and talk to her to reassure her.

Chang'an Hou Mansion.

The Liu family took Chen Zhongluo to the princess's mansion yesterday, and after being asked by Lu Si like that, the more he thought about it when he came back, the more wrong it became.

Who doesn't know that the fourth son of the Lu family is the most slick and sleek, and he will definitely not ask about other people's inner houses casually.

Is there something she doesn't know?

She thought of Du Ruo, who even the eldest princess of Jing'an said that they were similar, and her heart moved, but she denied the incredible idea.

Moreover, she didn't like the Du girl who looked like her very much. An orphan girl, who was able to let the eldest princess of Jing'an take with her, and also became Lu Wuye's fiancée, presumably the means are not bad.

Thinking about it this way, I thought of the similar looks of the two. I felt sick like eating flies again.

She couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, and there was no one to discuss, originally at this time, if Hou Ye was here, she could discuss with him, but Hou Ye had not been in the main courtyard for a long time, and it was for the sake of that slut once in a while.

She instructed her personal maid Kapok to go to the front yard to find Chen Zhongluo, and she wanted to ask Chen Zhongluo about Miss Du again.

Kapok Deling hurriedly went to the front yard to find Chen Zhongluo, and learned that he went to the princess's mansion to find Lu Shi, so he went back to Liu's family.

"This kid is away from home all day, and I don't know whose child it is." Liu muttered, and thought that only in this way did that slut dare not blow the wind to the Hou Ye, and unloaded Chen Zhongluo's position as the son, and instead gave it to her child.

There is really no one around her to discuss, she wants to go back to her parents' house to find someone, and she can't wipe off her face, she has always complained that her parents have found her such a cold-hearted husband.

Since the relationship with Hou Ye has deteriorated, she doesn't like to go back to her parents' house very much, she complains once she goes back, not to mention that her parents are tired, she is also tired, gradually, in addition to the necessary face love, go back, and she only stays in Hou's mansion at other times.

After thinking about it, she still packed up her things, ordered the carriage to be prepared, and went back to her parents' house.

Parents are parents after all, who do they not look for when there are difficulties?

She led Yahuan out of the yard, and met Aunt Bai who was curling and tingting.

Hiding the disgust in her eyes, she walked over with her head held high.

Aunt Bai didn't want her to feel better, so she said to her, "Yo, sister, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

It's really a slut, so I have to come up and tease her, so Liu Shi glanced at her lightly, then at her huge belly, and said, "I don't have a sister who is a concubine, and you don't want to go around my yard if you have a big belly." In case something happens, I can't bear the anger of the Hou Ye. ”

Aunt Bai smiled, and there was only this sharp mouth left. So he straightened his stomach: "The doctor said to let me move around more, and the Hou Ye also said that there is no place in the house that I can't go." ”

"Then you can go, but be careful, there will be some accidents near my yard." Liu said disdainfully, how can she not be tired to death if she is born so much.

Looking at Aunt Bai's fair face again, her pointed chin, and hazy eyes, she thought hatefully in her heart, vixen.

She turned sideways and walked around Aunt Bai towards the second gate.

Aunt Bai looked at the back of Liu's departure, shook her handkerchief, held her big belly, and snorted, "Except for a name, what else is left?" What to pack. ”

He spat and turned back to his yard.

Liu got into the carriage and told the coachman to go to Liu's mansion.

Her personal maid Kapok saw Liu's restless appearance all morning, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, do you have anything on your mind?" ”

Liu endured the desire to vomit quickly. Waving his hands, he leaned back on the carriage with his eyes closed.

Seeing that Liu didn't speak, Kapok lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour and arrived at Liu's maiden home, Zhongqinbo's mansion.

The porter saw that Liu, who was rarely going home, got out of the carriage, shook it for a moment, and immediately opened the side door to let Liu in.

"I really don't know what kind of wind is blowing, so I blew my aunt back." The porter scratched his head and told the little servant to go to the backyard to spread the word.

Mrs. Zhongqin was also stunned when she heard that her daughter was back, there was no New Year's Day, and there was no banquet, so why did she come back.

But in the end, it's my own daughter, and it's always a joy to come back.

As soon as Liu entered his mother's house, he asked her to wave off her subordinates, and by the way, she also let Kapok out.

She sat on the footrest, leaned on the old lady's leg, and said, "Mother, I used to blame you and your father for finding me a wolf-hearted thing to be my husband, and complained about the two old men. It's my daughter's, it's not. ”

The old lady was also full of emotion when she heard her say this, a woman's marriage is like being reborn once, and whether it is good or bad is a bet.

Who would have thought that a person who started out looking good would become like that?

She stroked Liu's head and said, "It's all because my father didn't think about it anymore and set it for you." However, now that you have Luo'er, you can rely on Luo'er in the future. ”

Liu muttered, "Then what else can I do?" I should have had a well-behaved and caring daughter, but I didn't expect it to be gone as soon as I was born. ”

"That's because you don't have a mother-daughter relationship, and the Buddha took her back again." The old lady patted her hand and comforted her.

"No, mother, I saw a girl similar to me at the eldest princess of Jing'an yesterday." Liu said incoherently.

She didn't understand why she had such a weird idea, obviously what she hated the most was an orphan girl like Aunt Bai.

But she just couldn't help but wonder if it would be her daughter.

After all, at that time, it was only Wen Po and Aunt Bai who said that they were stillborn, and she didn't see her daughter because she was out of strength because she gave birth to a child.

"There are so many similar people in the world, what does that mean? Besides, that girl is a relative of the eldest princess of Jing'an. The old lady pouted, not understanding what her daughter was doing when she came back today.

Liu stood up, sat down next to the old lady, and said excitedly: "Mother, that girl is an orphan girl. Not a relative of the princess. Also borrowed to live in the princess's mansion? Mother, do you think she will be my daughter? ”

"You're a demon, aren't you, if you're an orphan girl, you say it's your daughter, didn't you say that she was stillborn? Wen Po also said it, and your aunt ......"

Hearing the old lady talk about Aunt Bai, Liu screamed: "Who knows if she dropped my daughter's bag." ”

The old woman had a calm face and didn't know what to say, which of the powerful families was not a concubine, but her daughter could make the life process like this.

But seeing Liu's hysterical appearance, Yu Xin couldn't bear it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "How can you have such an idea?" Or did you get the handle of that aunt? ”

Liu shook his head and told the old lady that she only thought of it when she heard Lu Si ask like that. She firmly believes that Lu Siye will not open his mouth and ask indiscriminately.

The old lady patted Liu, broke it carefully, crumpled it and talked to her about the relationship, and finally asked her not to think crankily, not to listen to the wind and rain.

After listening to what the old lady said, Liu slowly calmed down and knew that she was impulsive.

But she took this matter to heart and slowly investigated. You can always find a clue.

Du Ruo also talked about this matter with the eldest princess of Jing'an in Chunhui Hall.

"Princess, I don't want to recognize those people, and I don't want them to know that I exist." Du Ruo's eldest princess Yu Jing'an, who was straight to the point, said about this matter.

"I have already told the fifth master about this, and he agrees with me to do so. But I'd like to ask for your opinion anyway. Du Ruo thought that the eldest princess of Jing'an was an elder, with knowledge and experience, and she could always see things farther than her.

"You kid, what do you want to do, you just decide, our family doesn't interfere in those things. It's good to go back, it's good not to go back, as long as you don't regret it. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an used to care about Du Ruo's identity, but now she looks at her, and she feels that those identities are all false.

Du Ruo was very happy when she heard what the eldest princess Jing'an said, and the princess was also very supportive of her, which made her more confident.

She said shyly to the eldest princess of Jing'an: "Princess, in order to repay you, I want to go to the small kitchen to cook some food, okay?" You know, I'm a red. I don't know anything about calligraphy and painting, I can only make food......"

The eldest princess of Jing'an was overjoyed, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be smoothed out a little, and she happily said to Mama Lin: "Look at this girl, such sincerity." Okay, go ahead, make something sweet, and bring glutinous rice to repay me. ”

Du Ruo let out a crisp "hey" and walked out in a hurry.

Mama Lin looked at the eldest princess of Jing'an with a smile and said, "Now you can let go of your heart, people don't go back, you can always accompany you." ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an said arrogantly: "It was her own decision, and if you want me to say that it is not good for her to go back except for having a better identity." When she married Ming Feng, the identity of the Lu family's fifth granddaughter-in-law was not bad. ”

It seems that she still has to go to the palace, wouldn't it be better to ask for a decree for the two of them to marry.

Du Ruo went to the kitchen and happened to meet Yu Dacheng. Yu Dacheng used to be in charge of the large kitchen, responsible for the banquets of the masters and guests.

After two days in the capital, the eldest princess of Jing'an wanted him to continue to go to the big kitchen, but Yu Dacheng refused, saying that he wanted to stay in the small kitchen of the eldest princess of Jing'an.

After the princess agreed. He stayed in the small kitchen of Chunhui Hall with peace of mind.

He saw Du Ruo come in and greeted Du Ruo warmly: "Miss Du, why are you here?" ”

Du Ruo was not very accustomed to his enthusiasm, but he still replied generously: "The princess has done a great deed, I want to make something delicious, soft and small snacks for her to eat." ”

Yu Dacheng wants to stay in the small kitchen with the idea of being able to get close to Du Ruo, not that his cooking skills are not as good as Du Ruo, but the people in the kitchen have no less to learn than those who do imperial examination articles.

The person who did the imperial examination article also said that "if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher", if Du Ruo is willing to let him learn, then why not do it.

When Yu Dacheng heard that Du wanted to make snacks, he also rolled up his sleeves and helped Du Ruo help.

"Miss Du, what do you want me to do for you?" Yu Dacheng asked Du Ruo on the side.

Du Ruo took out some almonds and handed them to Yu Dacheng, "Mr. Yu, you have a strong hand, you can grind the almonds in juice." ”

Yu Dacheng happily took it and understood that Du Ruo was going to make almond cheese.

"Miss Du, the world's first chef competition is about to start, are you sure you really don't want to participate with me?" Yu Dacheng still wanted to convince Du Ruo to join him in the competition.

Du Ruo paused when he heard this, and Senior Brother and Xiao Miao seemed to have become so far away.

"No, I promised others not to participate in such a competition, I'm sorry, Mr. Yu." Du Ruo looked at Yu Dacheng apologetically.

Yu Dacheng said with a smile: "Although I am very disappointed, I can't force it." ”

He said that he pounded the almonds neatly in his hands, and then tightened the gauze and wrenched out the almond juice.

Du Ruo took advantage of Yu Dacheng's almond juice to put the rice noodles in the cage drawer and steam, this is her habit, when making dim sum, she likes to steam the noodles to increase the taste.

Yu Dacheng saw Du Ruo put the rice noodles on the cage drawer and steamed, looked at Du Ruo incredulously and said, "Miss Du, why do you put the rice noodles on and steam?" Doesn't that stick to you? ”

Du Ruo pursed his lips and said with a smile: "After steaming, the taste will be better than not steaming, because the rice noodles will be very soft if steamed." I'm afraid that if you put a lid on the top of the paste and close the mouth of the bowl, there will be no moisture going in. ”

Yu Dacheng listened and pondered for a while, nodded, it was rare for Miss Du to say it without hiding it.

After the almond juice is grounded, Du Ruo pours the almond juice into the pot, adds the freshly steamed rice noodles, and adds half a spoon of sugar, stirring while boiling until it is thick, and then it is served.

Just now, the eldest princess of Jing'an said that she wanted to eat sweet and glutinous rice, and Du Ruo also made a snowflake cream.

Sesame powder and sugar are stirred evenly, glutinous rice is soaked, steamed and mashed, with sesame sugar filling in the middle, spread into big squares, and then cut into small pieces, neatly stacked in the blue and white small plate, it is very good-looking.

Du Ruo asked Biluo to put the almond cheese and snowflake cream in the food box while it was hot and brought it to the eldest princess of Jing'an. If the almond cheese is not eaten hot, the taste will not be good later.

She thought it would be nice to make a little more peanut almond cheese next time. It's just that it's a bit fishy if you don't drink it hot after the peanuts are juiced, and I don't know if the princess likes it or not.

She knew that the eldest princess of Jing'an liked to eat red dates stuffed glutinous rice with a "soft mentality", so she made another plate of this.

After she finished, she stretched her waist, pounded her waist with her hand, and threw a "heart is too soft" into her mouth, which made her squint her eyes.

Yu Dacheng watched Du Ruo deal with it from the side throughout the whole process. I have to say that he admires Du Ruo more and more.

She doesn't like to make complicated dishes, she just likes to make the best food with the simplest ingredients.

Nowadays, many chefs only think that being able to cook complicated dishes is the real effort, how many processes are required for a dish, and how much time is required.

In fact, the simpler the dish, the more the skill of the chef is tested.

Perhaps, this competition, he can do something simple.

"Mr. Yu, I've left everything I've made for you, almond cheese you know, drink it while it's hot." Du Ruo picked up the plate with a soft heart, covered it with gauze, and went to the main house of Chunhui Hall.

As soon as she entered, she saw the Chen family sitting under the eldest princess of Jing'an, and the Liu family, the wife of the Marquis of Chang'an.

She stopped and wanted to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Liu.

"Miss Du, what delicious food are you holding in your hand, you can't hide it privately, give us points to eat." Liu Shi grabbed the handkerchief tightly with both hands. Suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and joked with Du Ruo with a smile.

With only one breath, Du Ruo turned around with a smile and walked towards the eldest princess of Jing'an with a plate.

She put the plate on the small square table next to the eldest princess of Jing'an, and then gave the Chen family and the Liu family a salute.

"I just thought that it was not good to greet you with something in my hand, and my brain did not turn, so it was not good." Du Ruo smiled embarrassedly.

Chen pulled her to sit beside him and said, "Just now we all ate the almond cheese you made, and I was already jealous of the fifth uncle." ”

Du Ruo was most afraid of such a joke, which made her at a loss, and she couldn't live up to Chen's enthusiasm, so she just smiled.

The eldest princess of Jing'an relieved her at the top: "You narrow ghost, you know that Ah Ruo is very shy, make a joke about her, it is better to hurry up and use this food to gag your mouth." ”

After speaking, he pinched a jujube and drove it into Chen's mouth.

Liu sat opposite Du Ruo and kept observing her.

In the morning, when she went back to her parents' house, she was persuaded by her mother, but she thought about it and came to the eldest princess of Jing'an again.

When no one was around, she wanted to ask the princess about Du Ruo, but before she could ask, the Chen family came.

So she had no choice but to give up.

She looked coldly at the eldest princess of Jing'an who loved her very much, and looked at her shy appearance.

A strange feeling welled up in my heart, wanting to despise her for pretending, but also afraid that this was her own daughter.

For a while, Liu's heart was in a mess, and his face turned a little whiter.

Du Ruo didn't expect to run into the Liu family again so soon, the woman in front of her gave her life and lost her.

But she just didn't want to come forward and recognize each other.

She knew in her heart that the Liu family was the most innocent one, and having a husband was equal to nothing, guarding an empty name.

But in her heart she resisted recognizing her.
