Chapter 17: Concubines for Xiao Yan?

Lu Yuzhu's hair ornament is simple, and only a bead hairpin is easily pulled up, slightly loose.

She stretched out her hand to shake hands with Meng Qing, and put it in the air for half a moment, and Meng Qing didn't know what she was going to do.

So Lu Yuzhu could only retract his hand in embarrassment.

"What is this shopkeeper called?"

Meng Qing asked.

Lu Yuzhu spoke freely, "My surname is Lu, just call me Lu Shopkeeper." ”

"Okay, Shopkeeper Lu."

Su Zhou and Yun He stood beside Meng Qing on the left and right, especially Su Zhou, like a living Hades, staring directly at Lu Yuzhu with his eyes.

Seeing this battle, Lu Yuzhu could guess at a glance that the girl in front of him was either rich or expensive.

It is not surprising that the fierce little guards are common, and the maidservants beside the little guards are a little older at a glance, but their gestures are full of rules and arrogance.

Come to think of it, it is a large family, and the official rank in the family is not lower than the third grade.

When Lu Yuzhu first came to Chu State, he was not very familiar with this place, and he made three or five friends, and he relied on his own hard work little by little to get to the current Broken Cloud Xuan.

Now, she is in a difficult situation and urgently needs to get along with a powerful official family.

"The girl can open it and try it, if you are not satisfied, please follow me to the cabinet, all kinds of styles can be tried, but whoever picks a satisfactory one, it will be given to the girl today."

Meng Qing was surprised, "Give it to me?" Isn't that okay? ”

She is also a princess of a country, and she doesn't want to take advantage of others.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuzhu diligently held her hand and put it on the verge of almost, "What's so bad about this?" I and the girl at first sight, from a distance, I feel very cordial, I think it is the fate of the previous life, as long as you like it, what if you send it to you? ”

“……”

So generous?

Meng Qing had reason to suspect that she had other plans.

She looked sideways, and Su Zhou's eyes were really on the two of them, and she refused to move them for a moment.

Suddenly, she thought of a good idea.

Meng Qing looked at her and smiled, "Yes! I'll just say it! I just saw that the shopkeeper Lu also felt very cordial, afraid of saying it, the shopkeeper Lu thought that I was deliberately close, but I didn't think that the shopkeeper Lu also had this intention. ”

Yunhe: "......"

These two people said everything to me, and I inexplicably felt a strong sense of trickery......

"Yes! Sure enough, a woman's sixth sense is accuracy! ”

"Huh? Sixth, what? ”

New words popped out of Lu Yuzhu's mouth one by one, and Meng Qing couldn't understand any of them.

And what is the direct connection between the intimacy they speak of and the sixth sense?

"Nothing! I mean, we have the same instincts! ”

"Oh, that's ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you in and have a look!"

After speaking, she immediately beckoned Meng Qing to walk towards the cabinet.

The bead curtain is lightly raised, and it makes a bright and crisp sound when it collides.

Meng Qing stepped into the cabinet, and Su Zhou and Yunhe were just about to enter together, when they were suddenly stopped by Lu Yuzhu.

Su Zhou's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a solemn aura.

"What are you stopping me from doing?"

Yunhe echoed: "Yes, what are you stopping us from? If our girl has three long and two short, will you eat sin? ”

Sure enough, it was the old man in the palace, and his speaking momentum was different, which directly made Lu Yuzhu change his mind.

She said, "You can go in, but this little brother can't." ”

Standing around his chest, he looked down at her condescendingly.

"Why?"

Lu Yuzhu pursed her lips, "It's all about my daughter's family, the smell of fat powder is very strong, and there are often official ladies in Yujing City who try on makeup, if the little brother doesn't mind, then go in." ”

She gave way and waited for the boat to retreat.

Sure enough, as she expected.

"That's it, I'll wait outside."

Seeing him compromise, Lu Yuzhu hid his smile and went in.

The carved rhombic door is half-open and half-hidden, and you can faintly see Meng Qing kneeling in front of the mirror platform, trying them one by one.

Lu Yuzhu stepped forward and knelt down and sat down.

"What does the girl think?"

Meng Qing didn't answer, and his little head poked out.

"He didn't follow, did he?"

Lu Yuzhu shook his head, "No, the man here is forbidden to step, and he can't come in." ”

Hearing this, Meng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you afraid of him?"

Meng Qing hesitated, and was thinking about what to say, when suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his head.

She nodded very reluctantly, but inadvertently the three of them lowered their eyes and stopped talking.

I only saw tears in my eyes between the gaps in my long eyelashes, and my lips were tightly closed, allowing the tears to drip down my cheeks unscrupulously on the back of my white hand.

Lu Yuzhu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "You...... Girl, why are you crying? ”

Yunhe stood on the sidelines, at a loss.

"No, it's nothing, it's just some family affairs that can't be used by outsiders."

"What kind of family matter would make you so sad, girl? Girl, may you tell me about it? ”

Meng Qing pretended to sobb a few times, and said softly: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper Lu, in fact, ...... In fact, my background was not low, but my father was not angry and was busy for half his life, so he finally sold me to Taifu Xiao as a concubine in exchange for an official position. I didn't want to marry him, but my father's fate is hard to disobey, tomorrow is the day of my great joy with Mrs. Xiao, and today Mrs. Xiao allowed me to go out of the house and buy some things to use on the wedding day......"

"Mrs. Xiao didn't worry about me, so he asked the little brother outside to watch me, in case I took the opportunity to escape. But do you know that the shopkeeper Lu is more terrifying than Mrs. Xiao, he often coerces and seduces me, and threatens me to make me obey him, but after all, I am a woman from a good family, how can I be slaughtered by others......"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yuzhu angrily took the case.

"What! Outrageous! Look at him like a human and a dog, why is he so inferior to a beast? ”

“……”

Yunhe: "......"

Meng Qing wiped her tears, crying so much that she was sad and miserable.

"Don't get excited, this matter is just a matter of the inner house of the Xiao Mansion, it has nothing to do with others, I told you today, I treat the shopkeeper Lu as a close person, I am willing to tell you, and I hope that the shopkeeper Lu will not think that I am a concubine and look down on me!"

"How could it be! All things in the world are created equal, and besides, you are not willing to be a concubine, so why be humble? ”

She was indignant and wanted to rush out to seek justice for Meng Qing.

"If the shopkeeper Lu doesn't dislike me, I'll be content......"

Yunhe was dumbfounded, but when he saw his master working so hard, he couldn't help but cry and cry and fall to his knees.

"Yes! My girl is so miserable! is also a famous lady, how can she give Xiao ...... Mrs. Xiao is a concubine! ”

Lu Yuzhu hurriedly took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped his tears for Meng Qing.

"Poor one, if the girl still has any wishes, you might as well say it, and Zhu Zhu will do her best to do it for the girl!"

After listening, Meng Qing's eyes immediately lit up.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Meng Qing grabbed Lu Yuzhu's palm as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

"I do have one more wish."

"You say."

"I want to see my mother again! My mother was abandoned by my father and lived in the backyard, and my only wish in life was to see her again and tell her that I was about to get married! ”
