Chapter 24: The Comer Is Not Good!
"You're Sister Chunxiao, right?"
Lu Qingtang's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he smiled very gently.
Aunt Liu's personal maid is named Guilan, although the two are nominally master servants, they are actually friends who sing in the same troupe.
Guilan has an upright temperament and does things neatly.
With her all these years, Aunt Liu and the original owner can live a better life, so that they will not be bullied too badly.
Chunxiao is Guilan's daughter.
Speaking of Guilan's early experience, it can also be called a legend.
was originally a corner of the troupe, but he had a love affair with the son who listened to the play.
The two soon tied the knot and gave birth to a daughter. But providence makes people.
The boy went out on an errand, and on the way back, he accidentally fell into the pool and drowned on the spot.
Guilan can't go back to the troupe, but she can't find a good job dragging her daughter.
Aunt Liu was already a famous character in Beijing at that time, and seeing her pitiful, she let her be a maid by her side.
Speaking of which, Chunxiao can be regarded as raised by Aunt Liu. It's a pity that Aunt Liu entered the Hou Mansion later, and her movement was blocked, so she never saw Chunxiao.
Now Chunxiao has grown slim, and Lu Qingtang has only seen her for the first time.
"Miss Lu, no, princess, come in and sit."
Chunxiao was a little timid, and wiped her hands on her body again and again, for fear of soiling Lu Qingtang.
"Just call me Qingtang." Lu Qingtang affectionately took Chunxiao's arm and entered the house together.
As soon as she took her seat, Chunxiao was busy making tea for her.
Lu Qingtang looked around, silently thinking about how to tell Chunxiao about the murder of Aunt Liu and Aunt Lan.
"The tea leaves I picked on the slope by myself are not a precious variety, so you don't have to dislike them." Chunxiao came with a smile.
"How so."
Lu Qingtang was absent-minded, and raised his hand to take Chunxiao's tea.
Chunxiao took the opportunity to sit on the chair next to her.
"My mother will mention you to me every time she comes back, and I have wanted to see you a long time ago." She tilted her head, and her almond eyes were bent into crescents.
"What did Aunt Lan mention about me?" The corners of Lu Qingtang's mouth barely pulled out a smile.
She couldn't bear to speak.
"My mother said that you were born white and tender, like a porcelain doll, but you are beautiful."
"What else?"
"I also said that you have a gentle temperament, and you are carved out of the same mold as Aunt Liu."
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang's nose was sour.
"Anything else?"
"My mother also said that you will come to me and tell me to wait here." Chunxiao replied truthfully.
"Huh?"
Lu Qingtang was surprised.
"Qingtang, my mother and Aunt Liu are gone, right?" Chunxiao's tone was calm, as if he had accepted the matter a long time ago.
Lu Qingtang looked at her and did not speak.
Chunxiao lowered her head and reached out to wipe her tears.
"A month ago, my mother came back for a trip, and she told me that the lady of the Hou Mansion wanted her and Aunt Liu's lives, and she couldn't escape."
It turned out that Aunt Liu and Aunt Lan had already known that Mrs. Lu wanted to kill her.
I don't know who pulled it in my heart.
Lu Qingtang was so uncomfortable.
"Did she say what you want to do next?"
Aunt Liu's letter only asked her to find Chunxiao, and the two would support each other in the future and have a companion.
"She told me that I don't have to seek revenge against Mrs. Houfu, I just need to come to you and wait for you, my mother accompanied Aunt Liu into the Hou Mansion, and she knows how difficult it is to survive in a big family. She's afraid you'll be wronged. ”
Chunxiao said seriously, and every word was bitten extraordinarily.
After saying a word, she stood up and knelt straight in front of Lu Qingtang.
"Sister Chunxiao! What are you doing! ”
Lu Qingtang was at a loss, and he was busy helping Chunxiao.
"This worship proves that I recognize you as my young lady. In the future, no matter the difficulties and obstacles, I will be by your side and spend it with you. ”
Chunxiao choked.
"You and I are not masters and servants, but sisters, just like my mother and Aunt Lan." Lu Qingtang held Chunxiao's hand tightly.
She sighed at Aunt Lan's loyalty, to the point that she was still preparing for Aunt Liu's daughter before she died.
Mrs. Lu is really not human!
Whenever he thought of Aunt Liu and Guilan's goodness, Lu Qingtang couldn't wait to slash Mrs. Lu.
Chunxiao needed time to clean up, and the two agreed to meet in three days.
Lu Qingtang sat in the courtyard for a while, drank the tea on the table before returning to the Jin Palace.
It rained during the night.
The sound of rain squirming and smashing on the eaves disturbed Lu Qingtang who couldn't sleep peacefully all night.
It wasn't until early in the morning that I felt sleepy.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
"Lotus Feast?"
At the dining table, Lu Qingtang held the invitation and looked at it for a long time.
"Yes, princess, Lord Shangshu went to Bian Zhou a few days ago to buy a new batch of lotus seeds, and they bloomed last night. The King of Jin and the Princess of Jin were specially invited to watch. The little guy replied respectfully.
This ancient person was also idle, and he had to hold a banquet to see a lotus.
Lu Qingtang complained in his heart.
"Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for the invitation, we ......"
"We'll be here as promised."
Xiao Qiyi replied lightly.
Lu Qingtang was startled, and looked at the other side with wide eyes.
She heard you right, right?
Xiao Qiyi actually agreed to go to the banquet.
