Chapter 36: The Gate
"You've been outside just now?"
Hong Tuo looked at Ah Lu who was standing at the door with a surprised face, he thought that Ah Lu would go to the study with Di Gua, and he didn't know how much Ah Lu listened to the conversation between him and Lian Hua just now.
Seeing Hong's defensive face, Ah Lu was not happy, and said angrily: "Didn't you let me wait outside, I didn't mean to listen to your gossip." ”
Come on, it seems that all of them have heard it, Hong Tuo motioned to find Di Gu first, and the two talked as they walked.
"It's nothing to hear, and it's not a big deal to get around. ”
Hong Tease said as he sneaked to look at Ah Lu's expression, vaguely hoping that she would ask something.
Ah Lu caught Hong Tea's peeping gaze, thinking that he was dissatisfied with his eavesdropping, and looked back unconvinced.
"Look at what!"
The two people's eyes were stalemate for a while, and Hong Tuo was defeated first, retracted his gaze, and said a little unnaturally: "You don't have anything to ask?"
What do you want to ask?
Ah Lu remembered that in those words, most of the concubines were defeated by the portal, and even if a few formed good stories, the rest of their lives were spent in the constraints of the rules. And those who eloped away regardless of the world's eyes, maybe the two of them lived happily and chicly, but how did those family members who were abandoned by them spend their lives, and there was no trace of regret in their hearts?
What is the so-called love of mortals, Ah Lu has never been able to figure it out, thinking that it is the honey of A and the arsenic of B, if it is not in it, she naturally finds it difficult to understand the mystery.
But are mortals really prejudiced against Mendi?
Their lifespan is only a few decades, and the glory and wealth will dissipate like smoke in a blink of an eye, these are really important?
"Do you big families really pay attention to the door-to-door conversation?"
Hong Funny thought that Ah Lu might ask Lu Lianhua, ask Bai Mi and even gossip about Yang Chong, but she never thought that she would ask this question, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
In the previous days, he had to get by, and he never thought about what the future would be like and what kind of woman he would start a family with.
Like Lu Lianhua, he only needs to go on according to the arrangement arranged for him by his parents, and he also believes that his parents will find a gentle and virtuous wife for him, and live with respect. Yang Chong always thinks of Bai Mi, maybe he really loves her, or he may love the Bai family property behind her beauty. Although Jiang Shu does not refuse beautiful women, he knows very well in his heart that he cannot make his own decisions about his future marriage, and he always flirts with girls. As for his brother, according to his age, he should have seen each other a long time ago, but now he pays more attention to his studies, and he has not made any plans for the time being, and he thinks that he will eventually marry the right girl.
Although Hong Kuo is reluctant to admit that in the circles of some rich and noble people, the views of the family are really deep, including the previous He was unwilling to associate with the children of the Han family, even if he knew that it was not good to follow Yang Chongjiang to spend all his time drinking, he was willing to go to them to have fun together, not to mention that the movement between large families was to get closer.
"This is not an ordinary thing, some people are born rich, some people are born humble, just as some people are born with sound limbs, and some people are born with short hands and feet, and God still treats everyone unfairly, let alone people themselves?"
Ah Lu stared at Hong Tuo, and when he said this, he was in a trance and there was a kind of red bean immortal king standing in front of him.
And Hong Tuo looked at Ah Lu in front of him, obviously feeling her depressed mood, and couldn't help but be a little strange, could it be because of these words? But she was not from a family of cultivating immortals, and she was also a big family, how could she be disappointed because of these words?
"You're right, Heaven is not born to be fair, but this justice and injustice are more about how to look at it, since God has given you more, you should bear the consequences of this thing. ”
Ah Lu suddenly said such a thing, Hong Tuo didn't know why, and he didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't entangle with her and changed the topic: "What is that thing?"
At the mention of this, Ah Lu was a little more happy, and took out a small leaf from his sleeve and put it in the palm of his hand.
"It's a very rare wind spirit, fortunately I found it early, and I can save it!"
Hong Tuo looked down at her palm, and saw the small emerald green leaves swirling in Ah Lu's palm like the wind.
Soon Ah Lu's palm closed and put the wind spirit away again, Hong Tuo was puzzled, and when he looked up, the study had arrived.
The two of them pushed the room into the room and saw Di Gua and the little maid who brought him talking and laughing, Hong Tuo looked at Di Gua with an expressionless face, and couldn't help coughing lightly.
Di Gua immediately changed back to the appearance of a well-informed gentleman, and politely sent the little maid away before he teased Hong: "Don't talk about it much?"
Hong Tuo sighed at the speed at which Di Hexagram changed his face, and sneered: "I'm afraid that there will be a problem on your side if you talk more, the Lu family is most interested in the atmosphere of the family, if you spread it, I'm afraid you won't have to wait for the door of the Lu Mansion in the future!"
Di Gua's face flushed, and his eyebrows and eyes were embarrassed to explain: "I just said that I know a little bit about the ability to recognize people and look at faces, so the maid stretched out her hand and asked me to count peach blossoms for her......"
Seeing Di Hexagram like this, Hong Tuo really didn't want to admit that this person was his master.
Ah Lu was not surprised, looked at the time, and said to the two: "Since the wind spirit has been arrested, there is nothing that needs me, so I will leave first." ”
"Why, you can stay and eat!"
Hong Tuo didn't understand why Ah Lu was leaving, and when Mrs. Xia Lu saw that there were few people, she would inevitably have to ask, and she had to think of some excuses to prevaricate.
"It's all right, and I'm a maid now! I'll have to watch you eat, so you might as well leave early!" said Lu, very honestly.
What she said was reasonable, Hong Tuo didn't have a reason to keep her, so she could only ask her if she wanted a carriage to take her back, Ah Lu refused to say that she planned to go back to Xishan first, and left directly after speaking.
After Ah Lu left, Hong Tuo and Di Gu looked at each other with big eyes, Hong Tuo tentatively went to Di Gu to inquire about Ah Lu, Di Gu did not know the left sentence, and the right sentence did not understand, and he didn't ask anything.
After a while, noon came, Mrs. Lu sent a maid to invite them to the lobby for dinner, and the two didn't say anything, and followed the maid to the lobby in silence.
Sure enough, Mrs. Lu saw that Ah Lu was not asking about it, and Hong teased her by saying that she asked Ah Lu to go back and inform Mrs. Hong that she would not go back to eat at noon, and Mrs. Lu didn't say anything.
Although he had taken medicine, Lu Lianhua was still sick, so Mrs. Lu didn't let him come to the lobby to eat, and only prepared a light meal and sent it to his room.
On the other side, Ah Lu returned to Xishan with the wind spirit, and Ah Sheng, who sensed her return, happily ran out of the cultivation room to greet her.
Ah Lu glanced at her, knowing that she was worried about food and didn't want to cultivate, so she said viciously: "I didn't bring you anything to eat!"
Ah Sheng instantly wilted like a defeated flower, let out an aggrieved "oh", and followed behind Ah Lu's ass weakly.
Walking all the way into the study, Ah Lu took out the leaves in her sleeve and flicked her fingers, and the leaves were convenient for her fingertips to scatter a touch of green smoke and then gather up, slowly condensing into a human form.
Ah Lu walked to the coffee table and sat down, looked up and asked casually.
"Anyway, why did you keep following that mortal?"
