Chapter 113: Up the Mountain

"Hey, Miss Lu, it's such a big day, you wait, let the maid give you shade!" Mrs. Feng, the county guard, got out of the carriage under the umbrella supported by the maid, and went to greet Lu Weimang, who jumped out of the carriage first.

A maid walked to the side with an umbrella under her command, and played an umbrella for Lu Weimang, Lu Weimang took the oil-paper umbrella, waved his hand, signaled the maid to step back, and looked at the county guard lady who came behind her, "I don't have the habit of playing umbrellas in the sun on weekdays, but this umbrella is delicate and cute, I will take it and play with it and return it to you." ”

Mrs. Feng looked at the delicate Lu Weimang in front of her, completely forgetting her husband's instructions about how powerful Lu Weimang was, and unconsciously showed her attitude towards her juniors, "Oh, the little girl's family, you can't be careless." You think it's okay to just dangle in the sun, but in fact, how many accounts will be found. You don't know at your age, but when we're the age, we'll know how important it is. We have a salt merchant's wife in Yangzhou City, when she was young, she had a hard time, begging for a living under the sun, but now her family is once developed, she has also become a yellow-faced woman, the spots on her face, how many famous doctors she has seen, how many things she has smeared, and she has applied it internally and externally, but it is useless at all. Because of the spots on her face, her lord carried one concubine after another into the door, and said that he would not divorce her for the sake of the past, but she couldn't stop herself from taking a concubine. Oops, I've suffered for half my life, and now I'm dumb and eating Coptis chinensis. Therefore, we women still have to pay attention to maintenance on weekdays. ”

This Mrs. Feng took Lu Weimang's hand with a serious face and talked to her, Lu Weimang only felt embarrassed, she didn't like strangers to be so close to her.

This can only be blamed on Lu Weimang's harmless face, when she laughs and gets along with others, there will always be people who ignore her identity and status and treat her as their own.

Lu Weimang didn't force himself, he pulled out his hand casually, Mrs. Feng was stunned, only to see Lu Weimang say lightly, "If you have a heart, it is the salt merchant's wife who enters the door with her left foot first, and the salt merchant will find an excuse to take a concubine, if she is unwilling, it is the salt merchant's wife who is unkempt every day, and the salt merchant will not take a concubine." People's hearts are difficult to control, there is no need to toss yourself for others, it is true that you are comfortable and comfortable. The smiling face seemed to suddenly become indifferent, and although the words in his mouth were reasonable, his attitude was inevitably cold.

Mrs. Feng was careful, but her face did not show it, she just put away the casual treatment of the child just now, and echoed with a smile, "What Miss Lu said is reasonable, and it is important to do things smoothly." However, we women are naturally weak and still have to rely on men, so pay attention on weekdays, don't be too strong, and life can be better. There are good and bad men in the world, but there are few who do not steal fish, you follow him for half a lifetime, there are always younger and more delicate people who come to pick fruits. As long as it doesn't affect his status, let him go, out of sight and out of mind, the most important thing is to be comfortable. ”

The battle between women about right and wrong experiences is silent, but everywhere. Inadvertently, Mrs. Feng gave Lu Weimang a lesson, and the two of them talked while walking up the mountain. Under the shade of the trees in the mountains, the cool breeze is blowing, the two of them are in a regular manner, walking freely, looking very harmonious from the back, but they don't know that between the two of them talking and laughing softly, there seems to be a spark bursting out.

"Eldest sister, I don't know what my mother talked about with Miss Lu, I felt very speculative, I forgot to greet us, and I went to the mountain by myself. On weekdays, my mother has to call a sliding rod, but today I don't call it anymore. The little lady of the county guard asked her eldest sister innocently, but the eldest sister noticed the atmosphere of the two in front of her from the words "stealing" and "concubine" floating over, and it seemed that it was not so harmonious.

"Mrs. Feng is well-informed, so she can naturally empathize, maybe I am still young and can't understand Madame's experience and intentions." Faced with Mrs. Feng's experience, Lu Weimang didn't want to argue with her. There are some things that are fruitless to argue, and everyone has different cognitions, so there is no need to talk more with people with different views.

Lu Weimang was not interested in talking to the lady who met for the first time, so he said lightly, wanting to end the topic.

But when people get along with others, when they don't deliberately greet each other, the attitude of the tone and demeanor will make the people in front of them easily perceive.

Therefore, Lu Weimang's indifferent attitude seemed to inadvertently stab Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Feng was enthusiastic for a while, and couldn't help but say, "The scenery of Kyoto is comfortable and atmospheric, which can be seen from Miss Lu." However, this place of Jiangnan is not as bright as Kyoto. How many high-spirited young men have been in this anointed place for a long time, and they have been imperceptibly contaminated, and they can't get up. When Miss Lu first arrived, she probably didn't know the power of this anointed place. ”

Lu Weimang was happy in his heart, and he didn't know which part of Mrs. Feng he had touched, why Mrs. Feng and other characters didn't let go, but this is also a good thing, whether it is angry or angry, he always tells the truth, so Lu Weimang followed Mrs. Feng's words and said, "Oh? I wonder what is the deblorious aura of this anointed land? ”

Mrs. Feng glanced at Lu Weimang deeply, "It stands to reason that this kind of pickling shouldn't stain Miss Lu's ears, but since we've said this, if I don't tell Miss Lu thoroughly, if something happens to him in the future, Miss Lu can't blame me." ”

Lu Weimang looked at Mrs. Feng, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Miss Lu is not a little lady in the boudoir, she must have been going to school all the year round, and she has also heard of the land of fireworks. Let's not talk about those prostitutes, let's just talk about the top names of the Qing Dynasty who have fallen into the dust in the family road, but how many literati, artists, high-ranking officials and rich people flock to them. Those top brands are talented, weak, and have twists and turns, which makes men feel distressed the most and worry about them. If the rules at home are not strict, or the top card is clever, it is also a common thing to be included in the house, presumably Miss Lu has also heard of such "elegant things" to save women in distress, right? ”

Lu Weimang smiled, "Of course I've heard the story of this Qing Qi'er and his benefactor, but most of them are scholars, and there are very few such rumors from decent people in Beijing." ”

Mrs. Feng said with a distant look in her eyes, "My lord and I also spent some time in Kyoto, and the atmosphere in Kyoto is indeed different from that of Jiangnan. However, it's only Kyoto, and there is no such atmosphere in this anointed land. Here, the head card is an elegant thing, which family does not have one or two concubines who take the shot, and the wife of the house will be said to be unvirtuous. Moreover, not only the top brand, the new thin horse in recent years is said to have been passed down from the previous dynasty, and the delicate little appearance is that our women can't bear to speak loudly when they see it, and it makes the rich and official eunuchs who linger in Yangzhou rush to it. Miss Lu and Huo Hou came to Yangzhou, if they stayed for a few days and left, if they lingered for a month or two, they had to be careful. It is Huo Hou who is clean and self-conscious, but the officials of Yangzhou City try their best, either to arrange a chance encounter, or to make a heroic scene to save the beauty to Huo Hou, when the time comes, the beauty Qianqian, lonely and helpless, is to know that there is someone behind the scenes, Huo Hou probably can't bear to let the beauty fall into the dust and fall into danger, right? ”

Lu Weimang listened to Mrs. Feng's words and substituted for a moment, if he was a man, he happened to meet a transparent-skinned, fragile and helpless beauty on the street, and was bullied by a fierce bully, it is estimated that he would not be able to help but step forward to help. Then after beating away the bully, the beauty wept, stepped forward to thank her, told her miserable life experience, and then did not fall into a coma, I am afraid that she will also settle down this beauty in a boat.

Maybe there was no other idea at first, just out of politeness and morality, but then get along a little bit, the beauty is full of you, and the whole world is only you can rely on, "The concubine is alone, there is no one to rely on, I just want to stay by the son's side, it is to be a slave and a maid, just to ask for a place to live, isn't it okay?" Faced with the tearful request in the eyes of the beauty, Lu Weimang felt that even a man would not refuse.

Thinking of the pictures that had appeared countless times in this book, imagining the possible dialogue plots, Lu Weimang couldn't help but smile.

Mrs. Feng beside Lu Weimang was a little confused by Lu Weimang's laughter. Obviously, Lu Weimang's face was still solemn just now, as if she was thinking about the situation she just mentioned, why did she laugh in a blink of an eye?

A woman like Lu Weimang, who was from a humble background and was lucky enough to achieve a little success, was given by His Majesty to marry a fiancΓ© like Huo Hou who is difficult to find in the world, no matter how nervous she is.

I deliberately said the atmosphere of this land south of the Yangtze River, although it is a slight exaggeration, but it is absolutely true. A woman like Lu Weimang, who values her fiancΓ©, should be nervous and at a loss, not to mention the chaos.

Mrs. Feng waited for Lu Weimang to be anxious, persuaded and comforted, made suggestions, and got closer to Lu Weimang. But Lu Weimang played her cards so unreasonably, which made her next words a little difficult to speak.

So Mrs. Feng said tentatively, "Isn't Miss Lu worried?" ”

Lu Weimang suppressed the smile on his face and lowered his voice, "Of course I'm worried." But any woman, who doesn't expect to be a couple with her husband for the rest of her life? But some things happen when they happen, not just expecting. ”

After listening to Lu Weimang's "normal" words, Mrs. Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, how can this man not steal, so we women must be prepared in advance." ”

Lu Weimang turned his head and looked at Mrs. Feng, her black and white eyes were as pure as gems, "How to prepare?" ”

Mrs. Feng looked at Lu Weimang's eyes a little dazed, but she still continued according to the plan in her heart, "Let's prepare our own candidates, it's better than those who are scheming and don't know the roots." ”

Lu Weimang was amused in his heart, but he remained silent, "Oh, do you have any recommendations?" After all, whether it is the top brand or the thin horse of Yangzhou, they are all top-notch people who are selected by thousands of people, where to find candidates to fight against them? ”

Mrs. Feng looked at Lu Weimang's pure eyes and innocent expression of ignorance of the world, although she faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, she still continued, "At the end of the month, a flower banquet will be held in the courtyard of the Cai family, a salt merchant, and Miss Lu can go to have a look. ”

Lu Weimang nodded, "When the time comes, you have to have a good experience." ”
