87. Come to the door to recognize each other

After Lu Wu threw Princess Anfu outside the courtyard, he washed his hands three or four times in a row with the water that Bi Luo brought in.

After washing his hands, he saw Du Ruo sitting there looking at him without blinking, "Did it scare you, and the child......

Du Ruo shook her head, she knew that he was so angry for her, and he was violent to outsiders, and he was always gentle like water to her.

"Wouldn't that be bad? After all, she's a princess, and I could have kicked her out just now. Quarrels between women are always better resolved. Du Ruo said worriedly.

Lu Wu smiled, "You don't have to worry, as long as our family doesn't rebel, force the palace, and threaten the imperial power, the emperor will be very tolerant." ”

Otherwise, how could he be released back then, and in the end it was as simple as being a layman?

Du Ruo stared at him for a long time, until he looked at Lu Wu's hair, and then said leisurely, "Does Princess Anfu like you?" ”

If you don't like it, why are you so desperate to break into other people's yards?

Lu Wu said coldly: "I don't know, it's her business that she likes, anyway, I haven't looked at her squarely." ”

After speaking, he suddenly laughed, and at first glance he was full of joy, "Are you jealous?" Is there any other woman who likes me? ”

"In addition to Rong Niang, there is also Princess Anfu. Who else? Du Ruo looked at him fiercely.

The smile on Lu Wu's face couldn't be contained, he rubbed Du Ruo's head, and took the opportunity to kiss her on the face, "No, no, others like me, I can't stop it, the only thing I can do is to give you all my heart." ”

Du Ruoyan smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around him, quietly leaned on his arms, and suddenly raised his head and said, "I won't let you like others, I will firmly grasp your heart, so that you can only see me alone in your eyes." ”

He smiled softly and kissed her on the forehead tenderly and reverently, thanking God for allowing the two of them to meet.

In Chunhui Hall, the eldest princess of Jing'an received Princess Anfu's generous words from Lingyun Courtyard, and when she was thrown out by Lu Wu, she clapped her hands and laughed, "Mingfeng has done a good job, otherwise the snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions who don't know where they come from will think that our family is easy to bully." ”

Mama Lin smiled on the side, "The fifth master still doesn't want to see Princess Anfu as before." ”

Princess Anfu admired Lu Wu back then, and she also flattered the eldest princess of Jing'an, but her personality was really not very pleasing, and the queen mother mentioned many times that she wanted to marry the eldest princess of Jing'an, but she was rejected.

"Jinxin, you go and inform the carriage room to prepare the car, I will go into the palace to ask the Queen Mother, what kind of confidence Anfu has to go rampant in her mansion." The eldest princess of Jing'an instructed Mama Lin to arrive.

didn't wait for Mama Lin to respond, and said: "Forget it, Mingfeng has already made her lose face, and the Queen Mother will deal with it." We don't have to restrain the people in the house from talking about this matter. ”

She wanted to see who was more disgraced.

The queen mother in Shoukang Palace sat on the phoenix couch with a gloomy expression, listening to the palace people report what Princess Anfu did, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.

She's a stupid granddaughter, how can she be stupid like this. Even she has to talk to Jing'an with good words, she can't force it if she doesn't want to enter the palace.

"How old is she, is she widowed and gone? Act so recklessly! If she talks to Jing An well, will she disagree? Partial students want to be clever. ”

The Queen Mother was angry and hated that stupid granddaughter was in front of her now, so that she could scold her happily.

If Du Ruo saw the appearance of the Queen Mother at this time, she would definitely no longer be a kind old woman.

So when Princess Anfu came out of the mansion of the eldest princess of Jing'an in embarrassment, and then went straight to the palace to find the queen mother to cry, she was trained by the queen mother for an hour.

After the queen mother reprimanded, within a few days, Emperor Wu of Liang made a reprimand order to go to Princess Anfu's mansion and ordered her to think about it behind closed doors for three months, and she was not allowed to leave the mansion during these three months.

If she doesn't behave well, she will be demoted from a princess to a princess.

This punishment is not severe. As long as Princess Anfu stays honestly for these three months, then she is still a princess, otherwise, everything is possible.

Under the indulgence of the eldest princess of Jing'an, Princess Anfu forcibly broke into Lingyun Courtyard, and then was thrown out by Lu Wu, and the news spread in the capital.

Everyone in Beijing reacted differently, some said that Princess Anfu was bullying, and some said that Lu Wumu had no king, but everyone remembered the incident a few years ago, and they were all silent.

Regardless of the reaction of the outside world, Du Ruo began her career as a child.

Because of pregnancy, Du Ruo's meal gradually increased. The eldest princess of Jing'an even transferred Yu Dacheng to Lingyun Courtyard to be in charge of Du Ruo's meals.

Last time Yu Dacheng participated in the world's first chef competition, although he lost to the imperial chef in the palace in the end, he didn't care.

After the game, Zhao Wangye wanted him to go to Zhao Wangfu. But he refused.

Because he has a new goal that is higher and farther, that is, under Du Ruo's reminder, he wants to write a book of his own.

Recipes can be passed down through the ages, but they are more memorable than the false name of the world's first chef.

The eldest princess of Jing'an transferred him to Lingyun Courtyard, which was exactly what he wanted.

From time to time, he and Du Ruo discussed all kinds of new recipes in the kitchen.

They tried to make a kind of jerky that would last a long time, but it would taste better than ordinary cured meat.

That is, the pork leg is cut thinly and soaked in soy sauce for two quarters of an hour, and sugar can be added to the soy sauce to taste.

If you want to taste better, you can also put soy sauce and sugar in a pot and boil, let it cool, and then put the pork leg meat in it to soak.

The soaked meat is air-dried on the stopper, and when it is time to eat, take it out and steam it.

As soon as this jerky came out, it was taken to Guozijian by Lu Shi as a snack.

Lu Wu helplessly watched Du Ruo and Yu Dacheng busy together, and had the heart to stop her, but seeing that every time she discussed with Yu Dacheng, her eyes were bright and full of vitality, and she couldn't bear to stop her.

Although she was forced to learn cooking since she was a child, after a long time, going to the kitchen has become an indispensable part of her life.

She also helped him make underwear and outer robes, but that was only occasional, and she was more afraid of being ridiculed if she didn't do it well. Unlike cooking, the kitchen is where she can play with ease and won't even get tired.

"Why, do you feel anxious that you can't fit in?" Lu Si stood on Lu Wu's side and watched Du Ruo and Yu Dacheng discuss how to use the seasoning, and both of them felt that they were better.

"It's not anxiety, it's that I think she's the most beautiful when she's like this." Lu Wu said stupidly.

Lu Si shuddered when he heard this, he really dared to say anything meaty.

Perhaps, he should also go to someone.

The main courtyard of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an.

Liu sat on top with a pale face, and the person in front of her, Huo Ran, was the person she sent to find the whereabouts of Aunt Bai's maiden.

The more she listened, the paler her face became, she grabbed the armrests of the chair tightly, her knuckles turned white, and asked the person in front of her word by word: "Did she really say that?" Did Aunt Bai ask her to throw the child away? ”

The companion room sent by her, Zhang Quan nodded, he didn't expect that Mrs. sent him to do such a big thing, Mrs. was so pitiful.

A good child is said to be stillborn. The mother and daughter have been separated for so many years, and now they still don't know where his girl has gone.

Liu couldn't wait to rush to Xinyuan right now to find out Aunt Bai, and then give her all the most vicious punishments she could think of.

However, when she calmed down, she knew she couldn't.

Until there is more evidence, she can't act rashly.

"Where is that girl now?" Liu asked Zhang Quan.

"The little one sent someone there to secretly watch her every move, and if she wanted to escape, she could stop it in time." Zhang Quan felt that this matter was too big, so he came back first to tell the Liu family.

Liu waved his hand to let Zhang Quan go down to rest, and she sat down on the chair, her heart full of hatred.

hates the ruthlessness of Chang'anhou and hates the ruthlessness of Aunt Bai. Hate her own incompetence even more.

She wiped her tears and walked towards the old lady's yard.

She alone has no way to bring down the woman in Xinyuan, but with the old lady, she doesn't know who is dead or alive.

When the old lady saw that the Liu family came to the door again, she was surprised again, how ridiculous is this Hou Ye?

As soon as Liu entered the door, he knelt down in front of the old lady with a 'plop', crying and saying, "Mother, you have to call the shots for me." ”

The old lady hurriedly asked the grandmother next to her to help Liu up, but Liu is the old lady today and will not get up without giving an exact explanation.

The old lady had no choice but to ask her, "What's wrong?" What did Yunhe do to embarrass you? ”

Liu shook his head and said in a choked voice, "It's not him." No. It's also about him. Mother, do you know that my poor Ruo'er is not stillborn. ”

Speaking of this, Liu couldn't cry silently, thinking that her daughter didn't know where to suffer, and she was even more afraid that no one would find out in the wooden basin, or it was raining, what kind of situation should it be?

She couldn't even think about it.

The old lady looked at her in astonishment, and for a moment did not understand what she meant.

She looked at Mama Chen, who was close to her, and Mama Chen understood and drove out all the maids who served.

After everyone dispersed, the old lady said to Liu with a solemn face: "What the hell is going on, you tell me from the beginning." ”

Liu started from Lu Si and said that she sent a companion to investigate the things of the year, and finally found the maid ring, and then found her and learned that the old lady told the old lady as it was.

After the old lady heard this, the whole person was not good, she did not live in the capital at the beginning, but stayed in the old house of the Chen family.

Later, it was Liu who invited her to Beijing, and she has stayed until now.

She has been suppressed by an aunt all her life, so as long as the Liu family does not do anything to damage the Hou Mansion, she will support her.

Just because the Liu family is the main room.

It's just that her son is still planted on his aunt, even if he has suffered from his aunt.

"You said that you doubted it because of what Lu Siye asked, but did you ask Lu Siye later why he asked like that?" The old lady asked Liu.

Liu shook his head, "No...... However, I later went to test the eldest princess of Jing'an, but she didn't leak a drop and didn't ask anything. ”

The old lady didn't know whether to say she was smart or stupid. She knew to test the eldest princess of Jing'an, but she didn't want to think about it, who was the eldest princess of Jing'an, could she try it out?

Don't let her ask you about it, thank God.

"You said that the people who have seen you and the Fifth Lady say that you are very similar?" The old lady asked Liu.

"Yes, even the daughter-in-law seems to see herself when she was young." When Liu thought of Du Ruo, his heart was complicated again.

The old lady sighed, "Have you told Yunhe about this?" If you don't tell him, don't let him know for a while. We'll talk about that later. ”

Liu definitely didn't want him to know, otherwise he wouldn't have come directly to the old lady.

He knew about it. Who knows if it's to cover up Aunt Bai or what.

"I've been stuffy at home, and people are weird and uncomfortable, you can wait and let someone send a prayer post to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jing'an, and we will visit her tomorrow." The old lady instructed the Liu family to send a message of worship to the eldest princess of Jing'an.

Liu sighed and got up.

As long as the old lady is willing to take care of it, it will be better than her hitting her head alone and bleeding without eyebrows.

"What do you say? The old lady of the Hou family in Chang'an sent a greeting post? Want to come over tomorrow? "The eldest princess of Jing'an is like hearing the latest joke.

This old lady of the Hou family in Chang'an rarely went out once, so she came to her, what is the so-called?

Mama Lin suddenly thought of a possibility, pointed in the direction of Lingyun Courtyard, and then compared a five-character comparison.

"You said she came for Aruo?" The eldest princess of Jing'an asked Mama Lin.

Mama Lin nodded.

I couldn't think of a reason, so the master and servant didn't think about it, anyway, tomorrow we will know why they came.

Du Ruo didn't know anything about these. Since Lu Wu was arranged to be the guard of the emperor's Imperial Forest Army, he began to live a life of three days on duty and one day off.

Lu Wu couldn't go home to rest when he was on duty, and for Du Ruo, who was used to sleeping in the same bed with two people, he only felt very unaccustomed to being suddenly one less person.

That night, when she washed up and sat on the bed and was about to fall asleep, she saw a large piece of space on the side, and couldn't help but wonder what Lu Wu was like when he was on duty, would he miss her?

She hugged Lu Wuyong's pillow, smelled the residual smell on the pillow, and slowly fell asleep.

It's just that when she slept until midnight, she felt someone take her pillow in a daze, and she tightened her hand and hugged the pillow even tighter.

Then the man smiled lowly and kissed her on the cheek, not touching the pillow in her arms.

When Du Ruo woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Lu Wu's sleeping face.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes, rubbed her eyes again, and saw that it was really Lu Wu, only to see him lying on his side, using his hand as a pillow, and one hand around her waist.

Only then did she remember that his pillow was held in her arms, and it turned out that he was holding the pillow in the middle of the night, and she thought it was her own dream.

Du Ruo smiled slightly, leaned on Lu Wu, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

When she woke up again, Lu Wu had already gotten up and was sitting on the couch by the window reading a book, and when he saw her wake up, he showed a gentle smile to her and said gently, "Awake?" Then get up and have breakfast, you can't go hungry now. ”

After speaking, he went to the door and called Biluo to fetch water to come in.

After Bi Luo brought water in, he skillfully handed the tea cup and twisted the handkerchief to help her wipe her face, and the movements were done in one go, gently like a porcelain doll.

"Mo Xi, why are you back? Don't you have to be on duty today? Du Ruo raised his head and asked him to help him wash his face, and he didn't forget to ask him.

"I've been promoted, so I don't have to be on duty at night in the future, I can just go during the day." Lu Wu explained.

Du Ruo looked at him with sparkling eyes when he heard this, "You were promoted so soon?" You're amazing. After saying that, he stood up and kissed him on the lips, "Reward you." ”

Lu Wu's ears were red from her praise, and he couldn't help laughing, and there seemed to be water waves rippling lightly in his eyes.

This feeling of frustration made him uncomfortable, and he didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

That's why he went to find the eldest brother after she entered the palace, anyway, the eldest brother also wanted him to go out of the house, so it would be as he wished.

The two of them got tired of it for a while, and then went to the outside room for breakfast.

Before the two finished breakfast, Yu Yan from Chunhui Hall came over and told Du Ruo that there were guests in the eldest princess of Jing'an, so Du Ruo didn't have to go to her.

Because Du Ruo was pregnant, the eldest princess of Jing'an exempted her from asking for peace and let her go to her when she was bored.

However, Du Ruo still goes to her often, especially after Lu Wu goes to the palace on duty, Du Ruo goes more often.

In Chunhui Hall, the old lady of Chang'an Hou Qiu arrived at the palace of the eldest princess of Jing'an early in the morning.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Mrs. Qiu went straight to the topic: "Princess, I can't hide it, I want to ask you for help with something this time." ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an raised her eyebrows, "What can I help with?" If you can help, you can help you. ”

"Last time, the fourth master of your mansion once asked my daughter-in-law a word, which provoked my daughter-in-law to find out an old matter, and the old woman wanted to ask, what is the basis for the fourth master or just ask casually?"

The eldest princess of Jing'an paused, "I have to ask my family Mingyang about this, I have already reprimanded him at that time." Mrs. Hou was also present at the time."

"Fifth Master Lu is already married, and his new daughter-in-law hasn't seen it" Old Madam Qiu didn't keep pestering to find Lu Si, but asked Du Ruo.

"Recently, she was pregnant, so I exempted her from asking for peace, and she easily did not go out." The eldest princess of Jing'an understood that she wanted to see Du Ruo's appearance, and then determine if it was the daughter lost by her family.

However, Du Ruo would rather be an orphan girl than recognize such a noble relative.

"There are few people in the capital who don't know about my family's situation, it's all that the evil obstacle is not good, this time my daughter-in-law actually found out that her first child was not a stillborn, but a white and chubby good daughter" Mrs. Qiu sighed for a while.

"I know that the fifth lady of your family looks very similar to my daughter-in-law, so I want to see if it looks like it."

Old Madam Qiu said jokingly.

"By the way, I also brought a handkerchief that was made for that child back then, with the word Ruo embroidered on it, and I wanted the fifth lady to see it, but I don't recognize these things." Old Madam Qiu took out a yellowed handkerchief from her pocket.

The eldest princess of Jing'an thought about it and ordered Yu Yan to go to Lingyun Courtyard to bring Lu Wu, and the old lady Qiu looked like she wouldn't stop if she couldn't see it, and if she didn't let Du Ruo come over, it would seem like they were at a loss.

After a while, Lu Wu followed Du Ruo in. When Old Lady Qiu saw Du Ruo coming in, she was stunned.

She trembled her hands, held the yellowed handkerchief, and said eagerly to Du Ruo: "Fifth Madam, I don't know if you have ever seen such a handkerchief, the important thing is that there is a word like this on it. ”

Du Ruo looked at the handkerchief, it was exactly the same as the one left to her by the master, and her name was obtained based on the words on the handkerchief.

After she met Mrs. Qiu, she said calmly: "I have a piece of such a handkerchief, and my name was also taken according to the words on the handkerchief when the master picked me up."

If you come to the door, then it doesn't hurt to say it directly. How to choose, that's her business.

After speaking. She instructed Bi Luo to go to the dresser in the inner room of Lingyun Courtyard and bring the box on it.

Old Madam Qiu didn't expect her to admit it so simply, but there was no joy on her face.

The Liu family, who came with Mrs. Qiu, heard Du Ruo say that there was a veil, and the whole person fainted.

For a while, Chunhui Hall was in chaos, and the eldest princess of Jing'an ordered someone to put Liu on the couch, and ordered someone to find Dr. Hu.

Old Madam Qiu looked at the eldest princess of Jing'an apologetically, not expecting Liu to be so frightened.

After a while, Bi Luo came in with a box, and she handed the box to Du Ruo.

After Du Ruo took it, he rummaged through the box, and then pulled out the handkerchief from the lower level of the box.

Old Madam Qiu saw that Du Ruo was so calm. The attitude of indifference, I couldn't help but feel a bitterness in my heart.

This kid obviously doesn't want to come up to recognize his relatives, Lu Si won't talk nonsense without a purpose, there must be a basis to remind Liu.

Liu, who had fainted, was pricked by Dr. Hu a few times, and when she woke up and turned around, she saw at a glance that Du Ruo was being protected by Lu Wu.

"My Ruo'er......" Liu muttered.

Du Ruo pursed his lips, ignoring the excited expressions of Old Lady Qiu and Liu.

"Although I still have this veil, I don't want to do anything, just because it's a proof of where I came from." Du Ruo said calmly.

She knew that the two men were trying to get her back.

But she already has a husband, a family, and soon she will have a child.

She's gone through the kind of why everyone else has a father and mother, but I'm an orphan. Where the hell is my mom and dad? Why did you abandon me? and so on the age of doubt.

"Why?" Liu asked her excitedly, but she was not ready to recognize her daughter, but she was not ready to accept it.

Old Madam Qiu also couldn't accept it, she had been shocked by one truth after another since yesterday.

"Because I already have a family, you're too late." Du Ruomu said.

If there must be a reason, then give them a reason.

Old Mrs. Qiu's heart swelled up with bitterness again, this child didn't want to recognize them, for fear that if she knew the situation at home, it would be no good to go back.

It's better not to go back at all.

Who is to blame for this?

Chang'an Houfu Xinyuan.

"You said that the Liu family is checking my former Yahuan?" Aunt Bai asked a girl ring in front of her gloomily.

"Yes, the slave and maid did not listen to everything, and when the lady and the old lady talked, they drove the slaves and maids away. I only heard a rough idea, Mama Chen was guarding the door, and the slave didn't dare to come close to listen. ”

Yahuan explained.

"I see, you go down." Aunt Bai waved her hand, and when Yahuan walked to the door, she stopped her: "Wait." ”

Yahuan asked her, "Auntie, is there anything else?" ”

Aunt Bai squeezed out a smile on her face, took off a bracelet from her wrist, put it on Yahuan's hand, and patted her hand.

After Yahuan walked away, she snorted coldly.

Unexpectedly, Liu's slut finally got smart and looked for her former maid ring. Thinking of that girl, she hated herself for softening her heart and not solving her.

She frowned, but she wasn't very scared, knowing what, Hou Ye would only be on her side.

She wants to find it, let her find it, she sits firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

In Chunhui Hall, Liu refused to believe that Du Ruo's attitude was like this, she said to Du Ruo: "Ruo'er, why are you willing to be an orphan girl rather than the daughter of the Hou Mansion?" ”

"Because I already have a family, a husband. And it's almost another child. Du Ruo and Lu Wu glanced at each other and smiled sweetly at him.

"Are you pregnant?" Liu shouted in surprise.

Mrs. Qiu was also surprised, and hurriedly asked her if she had a good appetite, whether she wanted to eat sour or spicy, etc.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the two people, Du Ruo was a little overwhelmed, and she looked at the eldest princess of Jing'an like a help.

"You guys, let her slow down, don't scare Ah Ruo." The eldest princess of Jing'an spoke.

Old Madam Qiu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said to the eldest princess of Jing'an apologetically: "Princess, let you smile." ”

"We did the same to you when we first knew, but Ah Ruo resolutely refused to let us say it, and I have to ask you to forgive us for concealing it." The eldest princess of Jing'an simply spoke.

"How can I blame you? The house takes care of her so well, who in the capital doesn't say that you are the best mother-in-law. Old Madam Qiu restrained her emotions and spoke to the eldest princess of Jing'an.

Just watched Du Ruo's performance, she still relies on the eldest princess of Jing'an, maybe she can find a way from the princess.

Here, Old Madam Qiu wanted to conquer the eldest princess of Xia Jing'an, and over there, Liu looked at Du Ruo eagerly, "Ruo'er, how do you feel now?" Will I vomit? ”

Du Ruo shook his head and said no.

Liu asked her again, "What do you want to eat, mother...... I can figure out how to do it for you. Thinking that Du Ruo was a skillful hand, he stopped stupidly.

Lu Wu had been quietly by Du Ruo's side, and Liu couldn't help but look at Lu Wu again.

I'm a little older, but I'm handsome, but I don't know if my temper is as bad as it was many years ago.

People are mothers-in-law and sons-in-law, and the more they look at it, the more satisfied they are. The more Liu looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard for a long time but couldn't make Du Ruo let go, but they also understood that such a suddenness was a bit unrealistic to want Du Ruo to admit them.

So Old Madam Qiu wanted to say goodbye to the eldest princess of Jing'an, and then said to Du Ruo: "Ruo'er, grandmother and your mother will come to see you next time." ”

Du Ruo pursed his lips and did not answer.

Liu's love is reluctant to go out with Mrs. Qiu, this is her daughter. She hadn't seen her daughter since she was born.

Thinking about it, Liu's eyes wet again.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Chang'an left, Du Ruo sat silently under the eldest princess of Jing'an.

The eldest princess of Jing'an looked at her with pity and said, "No matter what you do, grandmother will support you, you just come with your heart, don't think about it so much." ”

And he said, "You don't have to recognize them right away, you can just walk around as relatives." ”

Du Ruo listened and didn't speak.

After returning to Lingyun Courtyard, she sat on the couch and shook her legs, and asked Lu Wu: "Mo Xi, do you think I'm cold, they are so pitiful, but I still rejected them." ”

Lu Wu squatted in front of her, stroked her face, and said, "Didn't grandmother say it, just let you do as you like." Don't worry too much. I still have a baby in my belly. ”

Du Ruo touched the flat lower abdomen, there was her and Mo Xi's child here, and she already had a family.
