Lu Yu washed her clothes in Huanyifang for a few days, and there were a few chilblains on her hands, but fortunately, Zhao Mama in Huanyifang was good, seeing that she was quick and diligent in her work, she didn't complain, so she was called alone, took some cheap ointment and applied it to her: "I really don't know who you offended, you were sent here in the winter." ”

Lu Yu smiled and didn't answer.

"I saw that you are diligent, so I have only been here for a few days, and I have done the work of other people's little half a month. Mama Zhao said, looked at Lu Yu's slender hand and said: "It's a pity that such a beautiful hand is frozen, you have to do less work in the past two days, so rest first." ”

Lu Yu didn't expect that there would be such a kind person in the Lu Mansion, and he was a little surprised: "Thank you, Mama." ”

Mama Zhao was stunned for a moment, Mama Li said that this was just a country girl, but Mama Zhao had never seen such a look and temperament in an ordinary girl, as if she had thought of something, and said regretfully: "The girl looks like this, she shouldn't stay in this kind of place, unlike us people, there is no hope for a long time." ”

After Mama Zhao said that, she turned around and left, Lu Yu lowered her eyes, and the cheap ointment in her hand made her heart warm slightly.

Mama Zhao did what she said, and in the next few days, there was really less work assigned to Lu Xiang, and it didn't take long for Lu Xiang's birthday to arrive.

On the evening of that day, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was lit up, and even the most remote place like Huanyifang was hung with bright lights, and the maids and women of Huanyifang were lying on the wall and looking out, and were scolded by Mama Zhao to go back to rest.

Mama Zhao pulled Lu Yu, who was about to go back to the room together, and said, "You come with me." ”

Lu Yu was puzzled and followed Mama Zhao to avoid the busy subordinates and came to the front yard: "What does Mama want to do?"

"Mama, I don't have any other skills, I am the most accurate to see people, you shouldn't stay in a place like Huanyifang, today's birthday banquet of Master Lu, almost all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing will come, the girl looks like this, but if someone finds out, she will definitely be able to leave this place." ”

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Mama is a smart person, are you so sure?

Mama Zhao was seen through her thoughts and lowered her head.

Lu Yu said coldly: "Mama really wants me to help you, and you won't think about me in the future." You go back first, I'll take a look and breathe. ”

Mama Zhao was stunned, she actually saw the momentum that the eldest lady had never had in Li Xiaojiu, and inexplicably felt a sense of trust in Li Xiaojiu.

"The night is cold and windy, so the girl should go back early. ”

Lu Yu smiled, Mama Zhao is very smart, and she is now lacking a smart person by her side.

Lu Yu simply wanted to breathe, and when he passed by the lake in the backyard rockery, he heard a plop, and then there was a voice shouting for help.

There was an inner lake in the backyard, and Lu Yu hurriedly ran to see a four- or five-year-old doll fluttering in the lake.

Lu Yu hurriedly flew down to the lake, and with a light touch on the surface of the lake, he scooped up the child.

At this time, the surface of the lake was in a state of semi-frozen and unfrozen, and the jacket on the child's body was soaked with cold water, and he shivered from the cold.

"Who are you, why are you here?"

When the little doll saw her, she trembled even more, and before Lu Yu could speak, she ran away.

Lu Yu wanted to chase after him, but the child ran to the front yard, and Lu Yu remembered this occasion today and stopped.

It's just that her kindness is limited, and seeing that this child is dressed in either rich or expensive clothes, someone should take care of her when she goes to the front yard.

In the front yard, at the banquet, everyone looked at the black-clothed man sitting on the lower left side of Lu Xiang, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Everyone didn't expect that it was just a blink of an eye, and the younger brother that General Xie cared about the most on weekdays would run away.

Xie Xiaogongzi is the widow of General Xie, with a withdrawn and eccentric temperament, and he is most cared about by this cold-faced and cold-hearted General Xie on weekdays.

Lu Xiang said: "General Xie is a little calm, he has already sent someone to find it, there are guards outside the mansion, and Xiao Gongzi Xie should still be in the mansion." ”

Although he is the prime minister of a country, he still doesn't dare to offend the murderous young general in front of him, as soon as Lu Xiang's voice fell, Xie Si, the little son of Xie who was drenched, ran over and obediently got into Xie Chen's arms, Xie Chen's expression softened slightly: "Yibao, how did you get like this?"

Xie Xiaogongzi, who was called by his nickname in public, wrinkled his face, pointed in the direction of the backyard, and did not answer.

"I'll take a look. ”

"I'll go too. ”

Xie Chen rarely saw his younger brother talking to him in public, so he asked his subordinates to take Xie Yibao down and clean up, and then went to the backyard together.

Lu Yu saved a child inexplicably, and wanted to go back, but he felt that such a child was suspicious of falling into the water, so he stayed by the lake for a while.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Lu Yu turned around and looked: "Child, why are you back?"

After Lu Yu said that, he noticed the man holding him and was slightly stunned.

The man's appearance was as sharp and handsome as ever, and his long, narrow and deep black eyes stared at her, and his expression was obscure.

"Thank you, thank you for listening??"

The corners of Xie Chen's thin lips rose slightly, it was not easy, this woman who lacked heart and eyes still remembered him.

"Li Xiaojiu, you ...... A lot has changed. ”

Xie Chen's always calm and unwavering heart rarely showed a trace of emotion similar to excitement.

Lu Yu didn't expect to see him again in such a place, looked at Xie Chen, and then looked at Xie Sigu in his hand.

"Mr. Xie ......"

"What?" Xie Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Want to catch up with me?"

Xie Chen didn't have much interest in this kind of occasion today, but it would be good if he could go to have a glass of wine alone with Li Xiaojiu.

Lu Yu coughed dryly: "That, I haven't seen you for a few years, you even have a child?"

Xie Chen: "......"

Xie Yibao: "??"

Yibao has always been extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Xie Chen is his brother, but now that he is regarded as his father, Xie Yibao's little face wrinkled together.

"He's my brother!"

Lu Yu: "Oh, why are you here?"

"Prime Minister Lu invited us here. ”

Xie Chen glanced at Yibao, it was the first time he had seen his younger brother talk so much to outsiders.

"Little boy, dare to ask who your brother is?"

"General Xie, hasn't my sister heard of my brother's name?"

Lu Yu: "......"

Although I had guessed Xie Diting's identity a long time ago, I still felt a little unbelievable, it turned out that Xie Diting was the famous Xie Chen.

"Why are you lying to me, you call Xie Di to listen?"

Xie Chen had a cold face: "This is my small print." ”

Because the word Di Ting collided with the saint, no one dared to call it that all these years, but it is not a secret.

Xie Chen said: "You saved a treasure?"

"Yibao?" Lu Yu looked at the cute child in front of him, and said in his heart, why is there such a big difference in the names of these brothers?

"It's just a gesture, Yibao is fine, General Xie, I'll go back first. ”

"You live here?" Xie Chen looked at the maid's clothes on Lu Yu's body, and frowned slightly: "You didn't want to let you be a maid for me back then, why did you come to Lu Mansion to be a subordinate?"

"Sort of, sort of. Lu Yu didn't want to explain too much.

Xie Chen said: "You saved a treasure, our Xie family is not a person who has been favored by others for nothing, you offer a reward." ”

"No need. Lu Yu didn't think he did anything, he just grabbed it.

"No, I can't. Xie Chen lowered his face and said: "Our Xie Mansion never receives favors from others for nothing. ”

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "Either Gongzi Xie will give me some silver, right?"

"No!" Yibao said solemnly: "My brother will only give silver when he rewards people, which is too humiliating." ”

Lu Yu: "......"

"So, what do you mean?"

Lu Zhen didn't want to entangle with Xie Chen more, when he was in the Shu family in the past, Lu Zhen felt that this was a dangerous person, and now that he learned that he was Xie Chen, he didn't want to be involved too much.

Xie Chen looked at her coldly, and after a while, he opened his mouth without being shocked: "How about making a promise?"
