Chapter Thirty-Four: Enveloping Qiulan
Qiulan's roar made everyone quiet. I saw Qiulan walk to the center of the hall, pick up the fat powder box from Wang Fu's hand, sneered and looked up at the old lady and Lu Yinhua and said, "This is just my boudoir affair with the general, how can others put their beaks?" ”
The fat powder box slipped from her hand, and Qiulan continued, "Before the general left, I was in charge of all affairs in the palace, and the master mother was grounded. The old lady still remembers that this is the General's Mansion, not the Mansion of Lord Lu Wenlu of Dali Temple! ”
"You ......" When did the old lady be bumped like this, she was so angry that her hand pointing at Qiulan was trembling. Unable to say a word for a long time, Lu Yinhua helped the old lady and reprimanded, "Qiu, you are so bold that you actually contradict your grandmother." How can my Lu family tolerate an unfilial person like you! ”
"Sister." Nu'er suddenly spoke, "Grandmother's first visit to the house, we should treat our elders with respect and kindness. It's just that Aunt Qiu is pregnant with her father's flesh and blood in her womb, and she can't move. Nu'er squinted and knocked over the fat powder box on the ground, "The rest is still waiting for my father's victorious return, and my father will dispose of it himself." Grandmother is also tired, so she still has a good rest. My sister should not bother her grandmother with the things in the house, otherwise it would be unfilial to disturb her grandmother's body. ”
"I didn't know when there was still a concubine in this general's mansion." The old lady's tone was not good, and then she said, "The house is not strictly governed, the main room does not have the majesty of the main room, and the concubine does not have the self-knowledge of the concubine." Could it be that my old bones are really old and I can't say anything? Today I will be right, and who can help me! ”
"Come on, go to the ancestral hall and invite the eldest lady out to serve in a good life." The old lady looked at Qiulan, "Since you are pregnant, you will recuperate in Lanju first." ”
A farce finally ended with the old lady's strength.
However, the matter did not end there, and on the way back to Xiaoliu'an, Nu'er suddenly turned around and went to Lanju.
Qiulan was not too surprised to see the slave, but lightly ordered Miaochun to go down and cut a pot of hot tea. The anger on Qiulan's face subsided a lot, and she became the unfazed appearance in the slave's memory again, "The county lord has arrived, but what advice do you have?" ”
"Are you okay?" The slave answered the question.
Qiulan's heart froze, a faint sadness appeared in her eyes, she didn't look away, "I have abolished my slavery, raised my concubine, and taken charge of the affairs of the house, which is very good." What's the matter, the county lord figured it out? Finally take a fancy to me as a slave? ”
Nu'er didn't feel angry because of the stabbing in Qiulan's words, but spoke calmly, "Lu Yinhua goes back to the house, without me, you can't fight her." You need me to help you. ”
"Do you really think that it was your luck that the witchcraft did not search for results? Without me, you would have been sent to the government to see an official and sentenced to death. Or do you think that pregnancy is the all-powerful shield, and do you think that a sentence of pregnancy can avoid everything? What's more," Nu'er stopped, looked at Qiulan and smiled, "You're not pregnant at all." ”
A word is like a thunderclap piercing the black night sky. Qiulan's pupils suddenly constricted, and she lowered her voice and asked, "How do you know?" ”
The slave smiled lightly, as if everything was under control. She said lightly, "It's very simple, you bought the doctor with one hundred taels, and I used three hundred taels." ”
"Snobbish villain." Qiulan scolded secretly.
"You don't have to be angry, that's the way things are. People are greedy. ”
Qiulan turned her head sideways and looked at Nu'er seriously, she had always known that Nu'er was precocious, but after all, these words didn't seem like words that could come out of a child's mouth. She was silent for a long time and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"I want you to be in charge of the General's Mansion and torture the Li family for me to use for me."
"What a big breath." Qiulan said lukewarmly, "Why do you think that between the general and you, I will choose to attach myself to you, instead of trying to find a way to get the general's favor and give birth to a child to rely on." ”
"Why?" The slave suddenly smiled, smiling brightly like a flower, with a hint of mockery in the corners of her eyes. She stood up and slowly walked to Qiulan's dresser, she casually opened a drawer, and took a silver hairpin and put it in front of Qiulan, "That's it." ”
"You know exactly how your favor came about. You are wearing green clothes, combing Chaoyun near the fragrant bun, don't have a magnolia hairpin, look and form, who are you imitating in every move, you and I know it. Isn't it clear to you whether my father has ever touched you, whether you can have children or not? ”
It turned out that Qiulan had been serving in Shude Garden for many years, and she had always seen Lu Zhi's feelings for Aunt Wei. She had cleaned the Tianzi room and seen all kinds of portraits of Aunt Wei inside. When Qiu Xin died in vain, she was eager to gain power, so she pretended to be Aunt Wei, wore the clothes she worn, combed her old hair bun, wore her favorite magnolia hairpin, and came to Lu Zhi's room with a veil.
She hid behind the screen, the candle flame flickered, and her shadow reflected on the screen was so similar to Aunt Wei. Lu Zhi thought about it, thinking that Siren was resurrected, and when he was about to have the joy of clouds and rain when he hugged her, the veil fell off, and the fire in his eyes suddenly extinguished. But he gave her the title the next day.
He summoned her to accompany her every night, asked her to hide under the screen, imitate Aunt Wei's voice, imitate Aunt Wei's form, and talk to him as if that person had never left, but for so long, he had never touched her.
Only she and Lu Zhi knew these things, how did Wei Nu'er know about them? Qiulan frowned, she was a little more afraid of this twelve-year-old girl.
"Do you have any other choice but me?" The slave's question pulled her out of her thoughts, and Qiulan said in a sneering voice, "But by the orders of the county lord." ”
"You don't have to worry about the old lady, I have a way. What I want you to do is something else. Nu'er took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and put them on the table, "I want to open the largest tea shop in Shengjing, you go to Suzaku Street to find a good place for me, this money is a deposit, and when you find a good place, I will give you the rest of the money." ”
Qiulan took the silver ticket, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
"You don't have to ask what I want to do, you'll know what you should know. Do as I tell you. The slave got up and left, and when she reached the door, she turned back again, "Don't reveal my identity, remember that you are the buyer." Also, you only have three days. If you can't do it, you will bear the consequences. ”
"I don't want useless people."
The sun is getting warmer and the sun is shining everywhere. But in a place like Shengjing, which is full of blood and lonely souls, no matter how bright the sun shines in, there is only a biting cold.
