Chapter 161: Would rather live in Ye Mansion
Chapter 161 I would rather live in Ye Mansion
Ru Yan's eyes widened in shock, and he blurted out: "Oh my god! This is so exciting. One woman serves two husbands, and the two husbands are father and son. If this spreads, the British public will be angry. ”
Ruji looked at Lu Ziqin and raised his hand to hit Ruji.
Ruxuan looked at Lu Ziqin and said, "It's true as Ruji said, the uncle had been in love with Lu Guang before and promised Lu Guang to redeem her life.
Green light is the pillar of Zui Chun Tower. How can the owner let go of Green Light so easily?
Green Light's redemption price was initially fifty thousand taels of silver, and later increased to one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The uncle can't raise so much money at the moment, so he can only delay it again and again.
The uncle never dreamed that the second master would go to Zui Chun Tower to look for him, nor did he expect that the second master would fall in love with Lu Guang.
After the green light was placed in Tianshui Lane by the second master, the uncle carried the second master on his back and went to look for the green light several times. "
Rumo clicked his tongue repeatedly, spread his hands and said, "Look, what is going on? A dignified servant of the Ministry of War is fighting with his son for a woman."
Ruji glared at Ruji and whispered: "You guy, be careful what you say!"
Ru Jin realized that he had made a mistake, glanced at Lu Ziqin secretly, and lowered his head.
Lu Ziqin’s face was expressionless, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
Seeing Lu Ziqin in a daze, Ruxuan asked softly: "Master, do you think this is happening?"
Lv Ziqin leaned back and said, "Don't make any noise about this beforehand so that people can keep an eye on it. Remember, don't let Ziran and the second uncle notice it."
Ruxuan nodded in agreement, "I understand, I will make arrangements later."
“Hey, Miss Shi San, you can’t go in, our sixth master is not in the yard.”
Everyone in the room straightened up when they heard Daming's anxious voice.
Ruxuan looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Sir, Miss Shi San seems to have come in, what should I do?"
Lu Ziqin stood up and walked to the back door, saying as he walked: "You guys block me, I'm going to get busy. Remember, for the sake of Uncle Shi, give him a good reception and don't offend Miss Shi San."
Ruxuan asked hurriedly: "Sir, wait for the younger one. The younger one will follow you."
Ruxuan quickly followed, turned to Ruji and Ruji and said, "I can't be left unattended. I'll go first. You guys should help me out."
Ruji looked at Ruji and said, "I'm going to serve you too."
Ruji grabbed Ruji and said, "Don't even think about leaving me alone."
Ru Ji could not leave, so he had to go with Ru Ji to deal with Miss Shi San.
Lu Ziqin went to the door of the Duke's Mansion. No guests came to the door at this time. Lu Dingning turned his back to the door and was talking to Lu Ziran face to face.
If it were normal, in Lu Ziqin's eyes, this scene would be a warm picture of a loving father and a filial son.
But after hearing Ruxuan's report, Lu Ziqin looked at the father and son again, and it was very disgusting.
Lu Ziran looked up and saw Lu Ziqin. He was very surprised. He said to his father, and then asked: "When did Ziqin come back? Aren't you observing filial piety? Why don't you stay at home during the filial piety period?"
Lu Ziqin knew that Lu Ziran and Lu Zixun did not want to see him.
The difference is that Lu Zixun's dislike is on the surface, while Lu Ziran's dislike is wrapped in false concern.
Lu Ziqin smiled at Lu Ziran and bowed to Lu Dingning first, "Happy New Year, second uncle!"
Lu Dingning smiled and nodded, "You're back? Have you visited your grandfather?"
Lu Ziqin leaned back and said, "I had breakfast with my grandfather, and my grandfather asked Ziqin to come over and help my second uncle receive the guests."
Lu Dingning's expression froze. He went to Wenyuan Pavilion early today and wanted to have breakfast with his father, but was turned away by his father. It turned out that his father was having breakfast with this boy.
Mother has always said that father is partial, and he also advised mother not to think too much... It seems that father is really partial to Dafang.
Lv Dingning’s smile deepened.
Lu Ziqin saw Lu Dingning's eyes narrowed with laughter and knew that he was angry.
People who are familiar with Lu Dingning know that the angrier he gets, the deeper the smile on his face, and the more ruthless he will be when he turns around.
Lu Ziqin sighed, what a smiling tiger.
"That's right. Your grandfather is old and likes to entertain his grandchildren and enjoy family happiness. You should come back often and spend more time with him. This is what a junior should do."
Lu Ziqin smiled and nodded, and replied: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. Ziqin took note of it.
However, the second uncle must not say that he is old in front of his grandfather. My grandfather is most afraid of others saying that he is old.
Grandfather often talked about Lao Ji's ambition to achieve a thousand miles, and always encouraged himself.
Today, when my son had breakfast with his grandfather, his grandfather said that he could still draw a bow with one stone. "
Lu Ziran did not see the quarrel between Lu Ziqin and his father, and asked stupidly: "Really? Grandpa can also pull a bow with one stone? Oh my God! How much strength does this have? A few days ago, how many of them were with Shi Heshi?" When I went to the school grounds in the eastern suburbs, I could barely draw a seven-bow bow."
Lu Dingning looked at Lu Ziran like a pig, and couldn't bear to look away.
Fortunately, a servant came over and said, "Second Master, the people from Uncle Suiyuan's Mansion have arrived."
Lu Dingning nodded, turned to Lu Ziran and ordered: "The guests are here, come and greet them quickly."
“Yes!” Lu Ziqin stepped forward and stood behind Lu Dingning.
In Wenyuan Pavilion, Lu Zixun brought Hua Xu to the main hall. After the two parties met, the British Duke sent Lu Zixun away.
Du Bin saw the opportunity and took the servant out, closed the door behind him, and stood guard at the door.
The British Duke said bluntly: "Your capable general has been poisoned?"
Hua Xu nodded and sighed: "Yes, Doctor Hu thought about it for a whole day, but he still couldn't find out what the poison was."
The British Duke was startled. He looked at Hua Xu and said while reaching for the tea on the table: "Mr. Hu has a deep knowledge of poisons, and even he can't cure it? Who is the person who poisoned me?"
Hua Xu thought for a while and chose to confess, "I'm going to ask someone to track down a person who was around my eldest brother back then. That person was responsible for the poison."
The British man paused while serving the tea, looked up at Hua Xu, and asked: "The person next to Hua Ling? Who?"
Hua Xu replied: "Hua Zhe!"
The British public put down the cup in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Hua Zhe? Hua Zhe is not dead?"
“Yes, when the incident happened, Hua Zhe happened to be out on business and was not in the capital.
After the incident, someone saw him returning to Beijing. I sent someone to arrest him and let him escape.
At that time, Longyingwei was in disarray and had too many matters to deal with, so I didn’t let anyone continue to investigate.
Not long ago, I received a letter saying that Hua Zhe was haunting Shicheng, so I sent people to Shicheng to capture him, but I ignored him and got many of my men poisoned. "
The British Duke thought for a moment and said: "Hua Zhe ran away. Why did you let people catch him? Do you suspect that the Dragon Mark Order is in his hands?"
Hua Xu nodded, "Yes, he is someone close to the elder brother. Even if the Dragon Mark Order is not on him, he must know the whereabouts of the Dragon Mark Order."
The British Duke nodded, "Your man was poisoned and you let him escape again?"
Hua Xu nodded sheepishly, "Yes, I let him escape again."
The British public then asked: "Have you asked someone to continue the investigation?"
Hua Xu nodded and said, "I've already sent someone to check it, and a letter should be delivered back soon."
The British Duke nodded and said: "It has been ten years since you took over the Dragon Shadow Guard. Now whether there is a Dragon Mark Order or not, the impact is not big.
-
It is not worthwhile to sacrifice one's own people for such a trivial matter.
By the way, Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion responded and said that he would keep his fourth wife for a few more years. This marriage in Jiang Mansion is considered dirty.
Sigh, you should spend more time on Wen De and discipline him well. "
After hearing this, Hua Xu's face was filled with regret, but her heart was filled with joy. He leaned forward and said, "The Duke is right. I should discipline Wen De well."
The British gentleman picked up the cup and sipped the tea. After a moment, he said slowly: "It doesn't matter. Wende is not old. I will tell Mrs. Yang to put more thought into choosing a good wife for Wende."
Hua Xu said in his heart that he was troublesome to Mrs. Yang, but he did not dare to say it with his mouth, so he had to thank her.
Just when Hua Xu was sitting on pins and needles, Du Bin came in and reported: "Master Guo, Minister Shi has arrived. The second master sent someone to ask whether the master is free? The second master wants to bring Shangshu Shi to pay homage to the master."
The British Duke nodded, "Let him bring it over."
Du Bin retreated.
Hua Xu took the opportunity to stand up and say goodbye.
The British Duke waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you can sit on your seat and there is no need to avoid it."
Hua Xu had no choice but to sit back down again.
Over there with the female relatives, Mrs. Ping and Mrs. Ye sat down to chat.
Mrs. Ping patted Mrs. Ye's hand, pursed her lips, and whispered: "The old lady in your house doesn't like you very much. She has been looking sad from the time you came in until now."
Mrs. Ye did not look at Mrs. Yang, she picked up the cup and sipped the tea, and then whispered: "It is no secret in the capital that she doesn't want to see me.
I didn’t want to come back, but my mother-in-law kept nagging me about etiquette.
I couldn't resist my grandma, so I had to come back and add trouble to her. "
Mrs. Ping smiled and said, "I don't know what this old lady is thinking. Why should she be angry with such a good-tempered person like you? It's so nice to be full of life with a smile.
In the future, if we become in-laws, you and the third girl will definitely be the envy of many people. "
Mrs. Ye smiled and said: "That's right, if you look around the capital, can you find a second mother-in-law like me?"
Mrs. Ping laughed for a while, suppressed her laughter, and said seriously: "I really like your Liulang. If it weren't for Liulang's filial piety, I would have come to propose marriage in person."
Mrs. Ye looked at Mrs. Ping and said, "How can this be? If you want to propose marriage, I will come to you to propose marriage. I can't wrong the third lady."
Mrs. Ping said with a smile: "Our family of military commanders don't care about these false etiquette. It's for the benefit of the children anyway. It doesn't matter who comes to the door. However, I am still a little worried."
Mrs. Ye asked: "What are you worried about?"
Mrs. Ping looked around, lowered her head and said, "Your Liulang seems not to have my third girl in mind."
Mrs. Ye said: "Now that we are talking, I will tell you the truth.
I mentioned this to Ziqin once before, but Ziqin didn't want me to cause trouble.
However, this was two years ago. I just thought my son was young at that time, so I was embarrassed. "
Mrs. Ping fell silent, and after a while, she said: "Shan'er, Liu Lang has an idea. I'm afraid the third girl is just a flower, and the water is ruthless."
Mrs. Ye said in embarrassment: "Yingzi, you also know that I can force Ziqin on other things, but I can't force you on this matter. Everything can only depend on God's will."
Mrs. Ping nodded, "I understand, we have been friends since we were young, and I know what kind of person you are. Let nature take its course. It's up to Sanya. If she can make Liulang fall in love, that's hers. Blessing."
Mrs. Ye said sheepishly: "It's Ziqin's blessing."
Mrs. Ping said with a smile: "There's nothing to argue about, it's their blessing.
If Rokuro is unmoved, it's just because they don't have enough fate. The third girl tried her best, and she had no regrets. "
Mrs. Ye said with some worry: "But if this happens, what will happen to the third girl's marriage?"
Mrs. Ping smiled and patted Mrs. Ye's hand, "Don't worry about this. The third girl's temperament means that she dares to love and hate, and she can even let it go.
Once she lets it go, she won’t be obsessed with it anymore. Once you accept the marriage proposal, you will treat that person wholeheartedly. If a man can't even tolerate this, then don't let him go. "
Mrs. Ye nodded, "I just like Third Girl's temperament. She lives a clear and free life."
"Madam, Madam Ping, Miss Shi San has rushed into Shuyingyuan and is making a big fuss there." The servant came in in a hurry and said in a panic.
Mrs. Ye glared at the servant and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by panic?"
The servant quickly lowered his head.
Lu Dingning’s wife, Mrs. Li, stood up and scolded her servants: “Why don’t you retreat?”
The servants quickly retreated.
Mr. Li turned to Mrs. Ping and said, "My servant is not polite. Please forgive me, madam."
Mrs. Ping smiled dryly and said, "Nothing, my third wife followed me into your mansion. Seeing the beautiful scenery of your mansion, she said she wanted to take a walk and have a look.
I saw that servants were posted everywhere in your courtyard, and I thought that Sanniang would not get lost, so I felt free to let her go.
I clearly saw her going to the backyard, so how could she go to the front yard of the Sixth Young Master? "
Mr. Li didn't listen to Mrs. Ping's words. She was only thinking about how to make Dafang lose face.
Mrs. Li was blessed and said, "So that's it. Let's go over and take a look. Miss Shi San is a distinguished guest of our house. Don't wrong Miss Shi San."
Mrs. Ye stood up and said, "If you don't want to delay my brothers and sisters' hospitality, I will take Mrs. Ping over."
How would Mr. Li be willing to miss the opportunity to watch a good show? Said: "Mrs. Ping is also our distinguished guest. Why did sister-in-law say delay? Let's go and see it together.
Would you like to go out for a walk? How about we all come together? Go and enjoy the snow scenery in our house.
By the way, the plum blossoms in our Liulang courtyard are one of the best in the capital, and they are in full bloom now. "
Everyone wanted to go watch the fun, but they couldn't find an excuse.
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, they all stood up and walked out, saying as they walked: "Okay, we have heard about the beautiful scenery of the Duke's Mansion for a long time, and we are lucky to be able to see it today."
Mrs. Ping smiled bitterly, leaned towards Mrs. Ye, and whispered: "You, my sister-in-law, are not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Mrs. Ye smiled and replied: "This person has his eyes set on these things. You know why I don't want to live here, and would rather live in Ye's house."
