Chapter 26: Receiving Faith and Listening to Trouble (4)
"Mother," Zhuo Lengping pulled Mrs. Zhang over, "Somehow, I saw that he suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he became gentle again." I suspect he has a ghost in his heart, and I don't know what he's planning. ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she patted her hand and said with a smile: "It's not good for people to treat you badly, and it's not good to treat you well!" Don't be so suspicious, isn't that a great thing? ”
"But his close-fitting maid is also nervous, not normal." Zhuo Leng frowned, extremely sure.
"Girl. Do you always pay attention to what you do and what you don't? It's better to follow Young Master Lu well, and he will naturally not treat you badly. ”
Leng Ping saw that her mother didn't believe it, so she had to sigh: "That daughter just listens to you." ”
Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "That's right, you have a good rest." ”
"Yes."
As soon as Mrs. Zhang turned around and closed the door, she was hurriedly asked by the maid standing outside the house: "Has Mrs. ever complained?" ”
Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "My daughter is well taken care of by Young Master Lu, how dare she have any complaints?" Girl, don't listen to other people, they're all talking nonsense. ”
"That'...... That...... That's fine, that's good. The maid stammered back.
Mrs. Zhang didn't pay attention to her face, but said with a smile: "The girl is so good looking at my daughter, I have to go." ”
In order to prevent her daughter from being excluded, this old lady took the initiative to take care of the rough work in the house in the past two days, so that everyone would have a good impression of them and not be bullied here. And she heard her daughter say that Lu Jishou's attitude has improved today, thinking that it is in line with her own thoughts, and she thought: Since they eat this set, it is better to do more work, maybe one day the cold screen will be corrected!
The old lady went out into the courtyard and saw a servant squatting in the corner of the wall with a wooden basin and getting up to dry his clothes.
"Have you ever been tired?" She asked with a bow, very respectful.
When the man saw that it was Mrs. Zhang, he didn't dare to slack off, so he replied, "Wash the clothes for the master." What is the reason for the old man to come here? ”
"I saw that your feet were numb when you squatted, so I helped you do the work!" Mrs. Zhang said, rolled up her sleeves, and stepped forward.
"Old man, you are old, you don't have to! Need not! The servant hurriedly stopped him with his hand and persuaded him.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and pushed his arm away, "No! My body is very strong, and if I don't work, my hands will be itchy! You go to the side and rest, and you're welcome. ”
The man stopped left and right, and it could be seen that she insisted on not changing, so she had to make a gesture and said, "Old man, I am really grateful for that!" ”
"No thanks," Mrs. Zhang walked to the wooden basin and squatted down, and immediately took her clothes and scrubbed them, "You guys have worked hard all day...... Just take a break! ”
The man listened, thanked him a few more times, and then slowly walked away with his waist pounded.
Mrs. Zhang washed for about half an hour before drying all the clothes on the rack. She wanted to stand up, but she felt a deep pain in her lower back, so she leaned against the wall to rest. She was about to close her eyes when she heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and her eyes hurried over.
"What did the magistrate say?" An old voice said.
"Lord Zhixian said that he would send troops to catch Zhuo Lengping tonight, as long as the master can watch it." A steward walked behind, followed by Lu Zhengfu, the old man of the Lu family in front.
Mrs. Zhang was awakened suddenly, she looked around, and there was no place to hide, so she could only turn her back, cover her silver hair with a cloth, and secretly listen to them.
"What did Shou'er say over there?" Lu Zhengfu stopped in the middle of the courtyard and asked.
"The young master said that Zhuo Lengping is very stable, and he sent a maid to guard outside the house to avoid accidents." The steward said.
"That's fine, be careful in everything. After all, the debt that Jiang Du owes to the gambling house is not a small amount, and the money in hand is still important. Lu Zhengfu accidentally saw the old woman, but he thought she was a slave, so he didn't take it to heart, and turned his head and said to the steward: "Zhuo Lengping's mother lives in our house?" ”
Mrs. Zhang shivered.
"Yes, living in the west end of our house."
"She can't stay either. had to follow Zhuo Lengping into the prison. You send someone to keep an eye on her. ”
"The old woman is too old to run. Besides, if you send someone to the past, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion, so why do you need to do more. ”
Lu Zhengfu bowed his head: "It makes sense." You tell Shou'er about this and let him know. ”
"Minions, let's go."
After that, the two went out together, leaving only Mrs. Zhang alone, looking very stunned.
"Daughter, you're right! She Lu family is ...... important" Mrs. Zhang was halfway through her words, and saw Zhuo Lengping hurriedly covering her mouth and signaling her to speak in a lower voice.
"The Lu family really wants to harm you...... I happened to hear Master Lu talking to a servant, they called the officers and soldiers, for fear of making a disturbance, so they prepared to come at night, let's go for the better plan. Mrs. Zhang's voice was very small, but Zhuo Lengping pricked up his ears intently, and he could barely hear it clearly.
"Mother, if we want to run, where can we run? The maid outside the house was assigned to come and see me, and there was little chance of taking advantage of it. Zhuo Lengping sighed and said.
"Isn't this house next to a garden, can't you go out of there over the wall?" Mrs. Zhang said.
Zhuo Lengping thought about the appearance of the garden, but shook his head resolutely: "No matter how you say that the white walls in that area are one zhang high, and we don't know how to fly the eaves and walk on the walls, how can we turn out?" ”
Mrs. Zhang was silent.
Is it really just a matter of sitting back and waiting? Zhuo Lengping also fell into deep thought.
"But ......" Zhuo Lengping suddenly felt a hint of a turnaround, "I'll go to the garden and take a closer look, maybe there are places that we don't pay attention to on weekdays, and they can teach us to escape." ”
"You're going to see it yourself?" Mrs. Zhang asked.
"That will definitely be suspected...... Zhuo Leng Ping frowned, "It's better to call him Lu Jishou." ”
Mrs. Zhang looked at her with no relief, but was silent.
"Cold screen!" Lu Jishou came in from outside the house, closed the door with his backhand, and threw his coat at the head of the bed.
"You...... What are you doing here? Zhuo Lengping smiled at him, showing two shallow dimples on his cheeks.
"My father told me to come over, just to say something that doesn't matter, it's nothing." Lu Jishou saw that she looked happy, without any unusual emotions, and he relaxed his vigilance and sat next to her.
Zhuo Lengping leaned his head on his shoulder, and said coquettishly: "I have entered your Lu family since I entered your Lu family, except for staying in this house, that is, walking in the courtyard, I have never dared to be asked to go anywhere else." I saw the garden on the south side, but it happened to be full of chrysanthemums, and the scenery was pleasant, and I didn't see you say that you wanted to take me there. It seems that they really called me as a concubine! Hum...... I knew you were so stingy, so I didn't go. ”
When Lu Jishou saw her like this, he immediately liked it: "How can there be such a thing!" My cold screen, I'll show you today! ”
