Chapter 171: Intentions
In his previous life, when Lu Hou was poisoned and died violently at home, Lu Xiao was the only one present.
And there were guards and the second son of the Lu family who testified, saying that they saw Lu Xiao's study with their own eyes bringing tea to Lu Hou's study......
Later, this matter broke out, and Luo's mother and son went to His Majesty and the Queen Mother to testify against Lu Xiao's father! It was the Queen Mother and Lu Hou's old ministry who came forward to protect it, and Lu Xiao escaped the catastrophe......
Who knew that half a year later, Lu Xiao turned the tide and found Sheng Rubai to divide the body of the first five horses, not to mention, and ordered the secret guard to chase Luo and his brother Lu Yuan all the way.
During the pursuit, Lu Yuan's asthma was triggered, and he died on the carriage, and Roche committed suicide in despair......
Lu Xiao had a good wrist, and the death of Luo's mother and son in his previous life didn't make much splash before he pressed it.
Although I lost some reputation...... But is Lu Xiao a person who cares about a false name?
With the knife in his hand, who dares to flirt with you?
At that time, she was far away in Xiliang, and she did not know that the situation in Korea and China was turbulent, but now that she looks back, it is a little strange......
Not to mention the grievances between Lu Xiao and Luo's mother and son, just say that when Lu Xiao was suffering, the Queen Mother actually came forward to protect ...... That's weird!
At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen died of illness one after another, and Xiao Guifei's mother and son became the best candidates to enter the East Palace......
"Chonghua County Lord ......"
Wei Wan got down from the carriage, personally greeted Li Taiwei, smiled and said:
"What is the county lord thinking? So distracted? ”
Mrs. Li paused slightly, then she recovered her mind, returned the salute, and looked at Wei Wan, who was wearing a pomegranate red dress, and smiled lightly:
"I'm thinking that Miss Wei is looking for me today, I don't know what it is?"
Wei Wan didn't expect Li Taiwei to ask straight in front of everyone, and couldn't help but look at the guards on both sides.
Mrs. Li smiled slightly, but she was obviously a little detached, which made Wei Wan's face a little hot for a while, and she prevaricated:
"I heard that the county lord loves sweets very much, and a new sugar water shop has opened on Yongan Street in the south ......of the city, and I saw that the taste was excellent, so I thought about inviting the county lord to get together."
"I originally made an appointment with Miss Jin, but who knew that she accompanied Mrs. Jin to Fahua Temple to incense today, which abruptly surprised the county lord......"
Mrs. Li saw that her face was blushing, and she moved the fourth girl out as a cover, and she didn't break her in person, and smiled:
"So...... I'm blessed today......"
Wei Wan saw that Mrs. Li responded slightly, and hurriedly helped her into the carriage happily.
This Ruyi sugar water shop is located at the southwest corner of Yongan Street, the shop is not big, and the layout is refreshing.
The shopkeeper is not a local, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two girls who just entered the door are dressed in gold and expensive, and they don't look like ordinary noblewomen.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly greeted them in person and led the two to the private room on the second floor.
Wei Wan ordered a few signature dim sum dishes in the store, and asked for a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed blood glutinous rice soup.
Waiting for Xiao Er's dim sum, Wei Wan personally poured a cup of tea for Li Taiwei and said with a smile:
"The county lord tastes it, this quinoa fragrant tea is a specialty of this store, and it is the most greasy, which is rare in our Shengjing City."
Mrs. Li took the tea slightly, took a small sip, and sure enough, the aroma was overflowing, and the smell of the tea made people appetize.
After a while, the shopkeeper personally brought six plates of dim sum with different shapes and exquisite productions, reported the names of dim sum to the two of them one by one, and roughly introduced the production method, and finally served the blood glutinous rice sweet soup, and then retreated.
Mrs. Li slightly sandwiched a piece of fried golden bean paste crisp, brought it to her mouth and took a small bite, sure enough, the entrance was crispy, sweet and glutinous, and not greasy, so she casually praised a few words.
Wei Wan smiled even more when she heard this, and then put a small piece of rose milk cake into Mrs. Li's micro plate, and said:
"If the county lord is happy, you might as well try this again...... Not only is this snack exquisite, but it also has a floral flavor in your mouth! ”
Mrs. Li took a look at the pastry made of roses, tasted it from the goodness, and really praised it.
Wei Wan reached out and took the teapot again, and personally added fragrant tea for Mrs. Li, and then said slowly:
"Last time I came with my father and brother, I thought that the county lord would like it, and today is really flattering......"
Mrs. Li took the tea slightly, and raised her eyes to look at it when she heard the words.
Flattering? It's a shame that her face is not red and her heart is not beating.
Obviously, she waited for her in front of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for more than half an hour, what kind of trick is this?
Besides, she and Wei Wan only have a one-sided relationship, where did the affection come from for her to think of herself when she had a snack with her father and brother?
Mrs. Li took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.
Seeing that Li Taiwei only cared about drinking tea but didn't mean to talk, Wei Wan held the fingertips of the handkerchief slightly, and opened her mouth with some embarrassment:
"I heard that His Majesty is hunting in the paddock next month, I wonder if the county lord will go with him?"
Mrs. Li put down the teacup slightly, glanced at Wei Wan's slightly nervous face, and said calmly:
"This matter has not yet been decided, and you know that my mother's body is getting heavier...... If my grandmother insists on asking my mother to stay in the house to raise the baby this year, I am afraid that I may not be able to accompany her......"
Mrs. Li didn't know what she was doing today, the two had never had a relationship, and naturally there was no reason to tell the truth.
Wei Wan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and grabbed another piece of pastry for Li Taiwei, and disguised:
"That's a pity......"
"My brother and I only went to Beijing with my mother a few years ago, but I have never seen such an occasion...... I thought I could have a companion with the county lord, and if there was a mistake, I could get a few reminders from the county lord......"
Mrs. Li looked at Wei Wan's pretended regret fixedly, how could the flash of happiness in her eyes escape her eyebrows?
Mrs. Li secretly wondered in her heart, she had no conflict with her, why could she be so happy when she heard that she couldn't go?
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and Mrs. Li chuckled slightly, and said tentatively:
"Miss Jin Si will definitely go with Mrs. Jin that day, and you can ...... with her at that time."
Wei Wancai nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea, and listened to Mrs. Li continue:
"Besides, I just can't go, and my fourth sister will go with my cousin...... I'll talk to her when I get back, and if you have any problems, you can ask her......"
"Sister Yao has a gentle temperament, I look a little similar to you, I think you will be good sisters in the future......"
Sure enough, Wei Wan's face changed as soon as she heard this, especially the good sister, which made her face a little paler in an instant.
Seeing this, Li Taiwei had a bottom in her heart, and pretended to be worried:
"Miss Wei, what's wrong? I see that your face is not very good, is it not that you are unwell? ”
Wei Wan hurriedly clenched the veil tightly, lowered her eyes and said:
"It's okay, maybe the tea is a little cold...... Slight stomach pain......"
Mrs. Li wiped her hands with a handkerchief, got up and said goodbye to her:
"In that case, Miss Wei should go back and rest earlier...... There are still some things in my house, so I'll invite Miss Wei back another day......"
As soon as Li Taiwei said this, Wei Wan naturally couldn't stop her, glanced at the sweet soup that had never been touched in front of Li Taiwei, and got up to send her out.
Li Taiwei got into the carriage and said goodbye to Wei Wan through the window, and when Dafu lowered the curtain, Li Taiwei couldn't help frowning.
Wei Wan, who was talking about marriage with Sheng Rubai, when did she pay attention to Li Yao? What about Li Yao? Does she know about the marriage between the Wei and Sheng families?
