Chapter 21: Conspiracy
Qing'er got out of the carriage, and then came out an old woman, dressed in luxurious clothes, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and only a bead hairpin ring on her head, reminding her to be round, her skin was fair but loose, and she was about sixty or seventy years old, looking very kind and kind.
Riding a horse next to him was Lu Qingfeng, Lu Xiuran's personal guard, and the old woman who came down must be Lu Xiuran and Lu Xiaoqi's grandmother.
"Mother, you're back." The first to speak was Lu Yuqiu.
Grandmother didn't pay attention to Lu Yuqiu, but called Lu Xiuran behind Lu Yuqiu, "Xiu Dye, my Xiu Dye, come, I'll see where the injury is, okay, you see that you have lost weight, are they not treating you well." Grandmother deliberately glanced at Qin Ziyan, Qin Ziyan lowered her head weakly, Qin Ziyan was afraid that no one was afraid in her life, but she was only afraid of this kind-looking old lady.
"Grandmother, my grandson's injury has healed, the medicine Xiao Qi found for me is so effective that I can't even see the scar, and ah, grandmother, don't blame my father, my father is also very worried about the child." Lu Xiuran comforted.
"Grandmother...," Lu Xiaoqi hid in the crowd and jumped out to deliberately scare his grandmother.
"Oops, you little ghost is still so naughty, my little qi has grown so big." Grandmother doted on Lu Xiaoqi's hand.
Lu Xiaoran looked at it with only jealousy in her eyes, and thought to herself, this old woman is still as eccentric as ever.
"That, mother, you've been traveling all the way, so let's rest in the house first." At this time, Qin Ziyan jumped out and said caring and considerate words, and Lu Yuqiu also echoed.
"Grandmother, let's go inside." Lu Xiaoqi pulled his grandmother inside, and Qing'er, Qiqiao and others also followed.
The little maid in the house began to help unload the things brought back from southern Xinjiang, and returned to the place where my grandmother lived, everything had been cleaned and cleaned, there was a big rockery in my grandmother's yard, and there were two very old and stout trees next to the rockery, and my brother and I often played in my grandmother's yard when my mother was still alive, and my brother and I put a rocking chair under the tree to take a nap in the yard every summer.
After the nap, my grandmother would give me and my brother a little preserves, because when I was a child, my mother would not give us cavities, and my grandmother would secretly give it to us, thinking about it at that time, I was really happy.
Grandmother's yard is full of memories for us, although so many years have passed, every flower, grass and tree in my grandmother's yard has not changed, and even the furnishings in the house are still exactly the same.
"You guys go back first, just let Qing'er accompany me." Grandmother came to this courtyard to bring back the previous memories, a little sad, so Lu Xiaoqi and Lu Xiuran didn't say anything: "Then my brother and I will wait for my grandmother to rest before coming to say goodbye." When the grandmother nodded, the two withdrew.
At night
On the day of the family reunion, a lot of wine and food have been prepared in the kitchen, and grandmother Mo is sitting in the right seat, and everyone is lively at this time.
Lu Yuqiu and Qin Ziyan sat in the place closest to their grandmother, and Lu Xiuran, Lu Xiaoqi, and Lu Xiaoran, the grandchildren, sat at the end.
"Mother, you won't leave when you come back this time, will you?" Lu Yuqiu put the poured tea in front of the old lady.
"Why am I leaving this old bone here, causing you trouble?" Grandmother asked rhetorically.
"Mother, how is this trouble, it's too late for us to be happy that you live here." Qin Ziyan immediately stated that Qin Ziyan knew that her grandmother had always looked down on her, so she had to be more attentive and not let her catch her little tail.
"I heard that the second girl was married by the emperor, are you ready to be a mother?"
"Mother, don't worry, the concubine body is ready, you can rest assured."
"Although she is a concubine, she is married to King Chen, and the etiquette must be thorough." Grandmother's words made Lu Xiaoran, who was sitting on the side, feel bad in his heart.
Concubines out of concubines, dead old woman, wait and see, let you look down on me, then I will let you see how the concubine you value the most corrupts the style.
Everyone who ate this meal had their own ghosts, and after the dinner was over, Lu Xiaoqi and Lu Xiuran went back to rest after greeting their grandmother, but no one knew that at this time, a pair of vicious eyes were hiding in the corner and looking at her.
"Lu Xiaoqi, you wait... One day I'm going to climb higher than you. ”
Within a few days, it ushered in the big day of the Guogong Mansion and the Chenwang Mansion.
At this time, the Guogong Mansion and the Chenwang Mansion were already full of red, dozens of miles of red makeup, and the carriages lined up from the street to the end of the street, and the people of the entire capital came to see the excitement.
Qiqiao took Han Luoying to the front hall to see the excitement, today Han Luoying wore a pink shirt and was still beautiful and moving, Qiqiao saw Lu Qingfeng standing there outside the door, so he pulled Han Luoying forward to talk.
In the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, a few women sneaked to Lu Xiaoqi's courtyard with four little maids, at this time Lu Xiaoqi was still lying on the bed in a half-asleep state, and the women quietly touched Lu Xiaoqi's window, and two little maids were watching at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoqi was still sleeping, he went to the front to open the door, and a woman quietly came to Lu Xiaoqi's bedside, took out a small box in her arms, opened the box and put it next to Lu Xiaoqi's ear, Lu Xiaoqi heard the movement and thought it was Qiqiao, "Qiqiao, did you tell my grandmother that I could not go today?" ”
Hearing that there was no movement, I chirped my mouth, felt that something had come into my ears and was a little itchy, patted it, and opened my eyes dimly, and saw a woman I didn't know at the head of my bed, and I was about to scream but suddenly lost consciousness.
The woman saw that Lu Xiaoqi had fainted, and the other woman went to call the little maid outside the door, and the two little maids came in and put Lu Xiaoqi in the sack, one of them carried a corner, and the other two little maids who guarded the door explored the road in front, and then carefully carried Lu Xiaoqi away from the backyard path.
A knock on the door startled the people inside, a maid hurriedly opened the door, and the women and two servants carried Lu Xiaoqi in, "Did anyone see it?" ”
"Madame, don't worry, everyone is busy in the front yard at this time, and no one will see it." A woman said.
"That's good, remember, I didn't see anything today, and the farther away from the capital, the better, if you dare to reveal half a sentence, be careful of your heads." Qin Ziyan threatened and admonished, then took out a heavy bag of silver from his pocket and threw it to the woman.
The woman had the heavy silver in her hand, opened it, looked at it, and quickly put it into her cuffs.
smiled: "Don't worry, madam, even if we kill a few of us, we won't say anything, we will leave Beijing today." The woman blessed her body and agreed with determination.
"That'...... Let's go first. ”
