Chapter 90: The City is New
Without waiting for Lu Gongzi to answer, Zhicheng had already laughed and said, "Yueniang, you don't know, why is it the same year as Brother Lixin, we were still born on the same day and month!" ”
Layue also laughed and echoed, "That's really a coincidence, it's really a great fate, no wonder the two of you are so connected." Silently glanced at Mama Chang who was guarding the door, and a doubt gradually surfaced in her heart.
Maybe...... Chunliu also lied to Mama Chang, if it weren't for her daughter being a son, then all this would make sense. If you take the city with you, I don't know how Old Madam Lu will react when she sees the city.
Thinking of this, she rarely took the initiative to call Zhicheng, and Zhicheng was flattered and asked her what was wrong.
"Zhicheng, I think you will come with me then, let's draw a few bottles together, okay?"
It's been a long time since she has spoken to herself in such an affectionate little daughter's coquettish tone, Zhicheng instantly felt that she was back in the newlywed, and even regretted finding someone to go to the Phoenix Temple to find out the truth, as long as Yueniang was good to herself in the future, what did it matter from the past?
"Naturally, I can't ask for it!" Zhicheng laughed and went to ask Lu Lixin, "Brother Lu, do you think it's convenient?" ”
Lu Lixin glanced at Layue thoughtfully, and then agreed with them that he would go to his home to learn to paint embryos together two days later, and then said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left, Layue immediately returned to normal, and Zhicheng frowned and asked her, "What's wrong, she suddenly changed her face." ”
Layue Tui said that she was tired, and then rented a carriage with Zhicheng to go home. After returning home, the city stayed for a while and went to visit Juanniang, and Layue called Mama Chang in for questioning.
"Mama has asked too much about the shopkeeper? What's going on with Lai Qi Lai Ba? Didn't it say that the shopkeeper Gao found someone to give them money every month to collect folk rouge gouache recipes? ”
Looking left and right at no one, Mama Chang said in a low voice, "Asked, the shopkeeper Gao said that they had sent a recipe for several months, and there were really a few lost old recipes in it, but in July, Lai Qi and Lai Ba said that they had found a big and rich business, and the two brothers were going to try this deal, gambling on the wealth of the second half of their lives, and left." ”
I thought that this Lu Gongzi was a scholar with no power to tie the chicken, and he was followed by a few family members, how could the family members of that family have the ability they have practiced in the beggars since childhood, and their fists and feet are all beaten since childhood, and they definitely don't take these slaves of rich and noble families in their eyes, but they don't want to lose their lives because of this.
I just don't know how Dai Xue used it after receiving this Lai Qi.
Thinking of Dai Xue Layue's heart was irritable, and he couldn't help touching the injury on his forehead again, now that he has broken his appearance, he must never come to entangle him in the future, and Shi Gongzi, such a fairy-like merry son, a person who loves to appreciate beauties, will naturally never say anything like it to himself in the future.
Looking at it this way, it is a blessing in disguise, so to speak, but his hand is holding the sachet tightly, and he is a little faintly expecting Dai Xue to not count the ruined appearance of himself.
"Young lady?" Mama Chang shouted at her.
Layue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had just wandered, "It's okay, it's just a little tired, Mama continued to talk about you." ”
It seems that the young lady didn't listen to a word of what she said, and Mama Chang had to say it again patiently, "That Wang Lao Xian'er, after the high shopkeeper said that Lai Qi Lai left, he specially asked a few beggars to take care of the diet, afraid that he would freeze to death and starve to death one day, but who knew that it was the young lady who fainted in the past few days, Wang Lao Xian'er was actually picked up in the middle of the night." ”
"Pick it up?" Layue was taken aback, "Lai Qi picked it up?" ”
Mama Chang lowered her voice and said, "The shopkeeper said that the two beggars who served Wang Laoxian said that they were picked up by seven or eight masked black-clothed men in the middle of the night. ”
Then it must have been Lai Qi who took it away, it was to Dai Xue's cottage, I didn't expect Dai Xue to treat Lai Qi so well, isn't this person usually a scoundrel? Is it really reusable? It was still the news that Lai Qi exchanged Lai Ba's life for being so important that Dai Xue wanted to treat him so highly.
"By the way," Mama Chang continued, "there is another strange thing, it is said that on the day that Lu Gongzi came back from the Phoenix Temple, he passed through the South City Gate and saw Wang Laoxian crippled and pitiful, and gave him a meal. ”
Lu Lixin gave alms to Wang Lao Xian'er? Wrong! There must be something wrong with that meal!
"Did he eat it?" After Layue asked in surprise, she immediately knew that she had asked a stupid word, if she ate it, how could Wang Lao Xian'er have a chance to be rescued safely.
"Young lady, you are divine," Mama Chang said with an admiring smile, "The old slave was about to talk about this, when Lu Gongzi saw Wang Laoxian leave after eating, who thought that as soon as he left, Wang Laoxian gestured and begged the beggar who took care of him to take him back to the broken temple where he lived, and deducted it in his throat for a long time, vomited out the meal, and then drank his own urine, shrank in the corner of the broken temple and said that he would not go out to bask in the sun." ”
Layue already understood when she heard it, it must have been Lai Qi and Wang Lao Xian'er who said what they were going to do, Wang Lao Xian'er knew in her heart that this matter was related to the son of the Lu family, and now the apprentice did not return, but ushered in a meal of porridge and rice that Lu Gongzi specially gave alms, and the fool also knew what was going on, it must be the apprentice's matter that was exposed, and people were looking for the root to kill them.
I don't know what Lai Qi is holding in his hand, it is so important that Lu Gongzi would rather risk the crime of killing people on the street than get rid of everyone who has anything to do with Lai Qi.
The things outside were done properly, and Layue didn't make excuses to run out, just after dinner in the evening, Zhicheng came over again, and came in with a relaxed and guilty face and apologized, "Yueniang, I was not good that day, the sachet strap on your neck was broken, did you connect the knot?" Wear it back on, and you'll be able to dispel the disaster. ”
Layue looked at Zhicheng like an idiot and smiled, "I put it on, I thought that I would go to the Phoenix Temple to return it after the New Year, but now it seems that I will have to wear it for many more days." ”
"You don't have to pay it back, I've asked the master, and it's okay to wear it all the time."
Layue hummed lightly and ignored him, and listened to Zhicheng said happily, "Fang Cainiang and Juan Niang discussed that they would go to Fist Mountain to play together on September 9, there is a thousand acres of chrysanthemum garden, and chrysanthemum wine, you have been stuffy at home for a long time, and it is good to go to play and relax together when the time comes." ”
Autumn outing? Layue looked at the man in front of her who was happy and her eyebrows were dancing and she was getting carried away, and suddenly thought of how she said that she wanted to go to Fist Mountain to enjoy chrysanthemums last year, and how she was scolded by her mother-in-law at that time, "What newlyweds go out to show up, there are so many people, and the city can't be protected by those hooligans and ruffians to the point that it is not embarrassing to take advantage of it." ”
Presumably, the city doesn't remember these now, why aren't you afraid of being squeezed and touched after a year? But she didn't bother to argue about anything, so she agreed casually. I thought to myself, when the time comes, I will stay in the hotel at the bottom of the mountain for a day, what thousands of acres of chrysanthemums, when I think of rewarding them with their family, I can't be interested at all.
