Chapter 31: To Each His Heart

"Bold, dare to be disrespectful to the county lord!" The new eyebrows stood in front of the slave and scolded angrily. Xu was frightened by the momentum of the new eyebrows, and Lu Yuebai's voice suddenly dropped a few tones, "I'm Miss Lu Er, where did you come from?" ”

"When you see the county lord, don't hurry up and salute!" Xinmei, this girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, and shouted at Lu Yuebai.

"You ......" Lu Yuebai pointed to the new eyebrows, and was a little scared when she saw the frowning eyebrows of the new eyebrows, but fortunately, she was relieved, pointed at Wei Nu'er and said loudly, "I'm her sister, you get out of the way for me!" ”

"Alright, New Eyebrows." The slave raised his hand and motioned for the new eyebrows to step back. She walked up to Lu Yuebai and asked with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what advice the second sister has?" ”

Seeing that Wei Nu'er was still holding a flattering smile, Lu Yuebai thought that this was still the Wei Nu'er who had been obedient in the past. couldn't help straightening her waist, and her words became more imposing, "Qiulan is just a concubine. You want to talk to her in this house, but I'm afraid it's a fool's dream. I advise you to know who you are, so that you don't end up with a good end. ”

The slave covered her mouth and chuckled, the corners of her eyes raised with a hint of mockery. She lifted her cuffs, revealing her smooth wrists. Slowly and leisurely took off the gold silk shutter around the gold bracelet on her wrist and took it in her hand to enjoy it, and then she took Lu Yuebai's hand and put the gold bracelet firmly on her hand.

"This gold bracelet was given by the Queen Mother. Originally, there was a couple, and the Queen Mother cared about the sisterhood between me and my eldest sister, so she rewarded each of us with one. However, Nu'er always thinks about sisterhood, who can compare to the eldest sister and the second sister? The bracelet was given to my sister. Two sisters who are both relatives should always be the same. Otherwise, one person has and one person does not, wouldn't it be divided into high and low? ”

Nu'er's words are in Lu Yuebai's arms, Li Yuzhi's preference over the years has made the Lu Yinhua sisters look detached, and Lu Yuebai is even inferior, wanting to prove herself. But now Lu Yinhua has been named the county lord, but she is nothing. The distance is getting farther and farther away, and she is becoming less and less important in her mother's heart, and she is still sad in the end.

"If the second sister has nothing to do, the slave will go back to Xiaoliu'an first." Without waiting for Lu Yuebai to answer, the slave left with Xinmei and his party.

Stepping on the familiar path, the slave had mixed feelings in her heart. The branches of the trees by the roadside were covered with a thick layer of snow, covering everything in the whiteness of the snow, as if all the conspiracies were hidden under the golden blue.

Passing through the winding corridor, at the end of the corridor stands a simple and elegant little attic, the tight string in the slave's heart suddenly relaxed, only Xiaoyanagi I is her real home, and she will really feel safe when she returns here.

She raised her feet and went in, just in time to meet Tong'an, who heard the sound. Tong An saw a flash of bright color in her eyes, and a happy color welled up between her eyebrows, and he saluted the slave, "Say hello to the fourth sister!" ”

"I'm fine." Nu'er replied with a smile, she took Tong'an's hand and asked with concern, "I'm not in the house, can Qiulan feel sorry for you?" ”

"Qiulan was born as a slave, and she treats people much better than the Li family. and he has not felt sorry for me. Tong An replied.

"County Lord, Childe, it's windy outside, be careful to cool your body. Let's go in the first house. Fang Gu said in a low voice.

The slave nodded, and dragged Tong An into the back room. Hua Xin, the servant girl waiting for Tong'an inside, had already burned the charcoal fire, and when she entered, she only felt a hot current rushing to her face. When Hua Xin saw the slave enter the house, he hurriedly put down the clip with the charcoal in his hand, and trotted over to salute, "Slave Hua Xin greets the county lord!" ”

"Flower letter." The slave looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, she was young, about fourteen years old, and she was beautiful and lovely. She complimented, "It's a good name." ”

"Aunt Fang, Bai Shuang, you clean up the house first. Hua Xin, you will take the new eyebrows to familiarize yourself with Xiao Yanagi's affairs. The slave sat down on the Taishi's chair and poured himself a cup of tea, "The rest of the people should stand down." The county mainly talks with the six sons. ”

"Yes." Everyone responded and retreated.

Tong'an looked at Nu'er, "Does the fourth sister have any orders?" ”

Nu'er put down the teacup, and Lianbu walked to the opposite side of Tong'an and sat down. Then she took out a stack of silver tickets, "You take this thousand taels." ”

One thousand taels? Tong An's mouth opened wide. This money is enough for a family to have food and clothing for half a lifetime. This is not a small amount.

Nu'er ignored Hui An's shock, she continued, "Mr. Xu Boyong is a talented man, but he is content with the status quo and is willing to be a teacher. I want you to take this money and find a way to make Xu Boyong use it for me. ”

Nu'er looked at Tong An's immature face steadily, and Wei Yi's shadow flashed in his mind. She suddenly felt a little unbearable, she slowed down her tone, "Tong'an, you are still young, if you don't want to be involved in these calculations, the fourth sister will not force you, and she will not blame you." If you are willing, the fourth sister will help you, if you don't want to, the fourth sister will do her best, and will also protect you and give you a carefree life. ”

Tong An silently took the silver ticket, he frowned slightly, thinking of his mother Wen's death, his eyes were full of determination. He said, "Born in a high gate, confined to a concubine, how can you be carefree? The fourth sister can rest assured that this matter will be done with Tong'an. ”

Tong'an's firm and persistent appearance is exactly the same as his former self. Nu'er sighed slightly in her heart, and a smile barely appeared on her face, "I believe in you." When the matter is done, you will find the water wheel that is responsible for carrying water every day, hang a bell, and I will find a way to go out of the palace and return home when I see it. ”

Suddenly there was a gust of wind outside. The rain and snow mixed with the wind hit the face, and it was bitterly cold. Lu Yinhua was wearing a silver-gray cloak at the moment shuttling through the corridors one after another, and she hurriedly entered the Lu family ancestral hall in a low-key manner.

The ancestral hall of the Lu family is not big, there are two side halls on the east and west sides, and the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Lu family are always placed in the main hall. Incense has been offered on the large square table of ebony lacquered wood for many years, and various sacrificial offerings are held in three moire celadon pillar plates. The whole ancestral hall is a square structure, mostly with ebony buildings, as soon as you walk in, it gives people a solemn and serious sense of heaviness, and gives people coercion, so that people dare not move.

Lu Yinhua lowered the brim of his cloak, turned around and walked quickly into the side hall on the left. She pushed open the door and saw her emaciated mother, her eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and she called in a low voice, "Mother." ”

Li Yuzhi turned around when she heard this, her eyes were full of surprise, and she immediately rushed over to hold Lu Yinhua's hand, "My son, mother has been waiting for you so hard!" Are you in the palace? ”

"I know that my mother has suffered a lot of grievances when she returned home, and she is still trapped in this ancestral hall and cannot get out." Lu Yinhua patted Li Yuzhi's hand lightly and comforted, "Mother rest assured, I have already sent a letter to my grandmother, grandmother has always been the most important and secondary, and tomorrow when grandmother arrives in Qiulan and Wei Nu'er, none of them will be able to run away." ”
