Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 173 Lu Muyu Was Kidnapped
Hearing this voice suddenly, Lu Xu stopped in surprise, and turned his head to look at the tightly wrapped figure.

She took out a cloth bag from her bosom, and said nervously and cautiously: "Shopkeeper, check carefully to see if it's enough. If it's not enough, you can redeem as much as you want first, and keep the rest for the shopkeeper until the little girl gets together." Come back when you have enough money.”

The shopkeeper opened the cloth bag that the woman had put on the small table. Except for a few pieces of silver and a few strings of copper plates, it was full of pearls of various colors, large and small.

"Miss, these pearls..."

The shopkeeper looked at the woman in shock, but the woman was not only wrapped tightly, but also made of black silk, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

Facing the shopkeeper's questioning, the woman explained in a panic: "The little girl picked it herself, and there are only so many in her savings. Although they don't look very good, they are all pure natural wild pearls, even if they can't be used to make them all." Jewelry can also be ground into powder and applied to the face, which is the most nourishing for the face."

"I want these pearls."

Lu Xu spoke suddenly, but still with the hoarse voice before.

Suzaku was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, my lady is interested in these pearls, please make a price."

Faced with the urging, the shopkeeper hesitated and said: "Miss is also a knowledgeable person. Pearls are divided into grades, and even a villain can't set a price for a while."

"Shopkeeper, why don't you do it this way." Lu Xu glanced at the very nervous woman, and said calmly: "These broken silver, copper plates and pearls belong to me. I will pay for the money this lady redeemed, 300 Is two enough?"

"This young lady absolutely won't do it." Before Lu Xu could speak, the woman stammered and stopped her: "My pearls plus broken silver are less than 240 taels."

"It's a good idea to buy a thousand pieces of gold. This lady just needs some pearls." Lu Xu said to Suzaku: "It's almost time, we have to go. You give this lady 300 taels, so hurry up and follow."

Lu Xu nodded to the woman, and walked outside holding the pipa.

Suzaku stuffed the three silver bills into the woman's hand, hugged the things on the small table, and followed Lu Xu with them.

Faced with this wave of crisp and neat operations, the shopkeeper and the woman were dumbfounded. After regaining consciousness, the woman stuffed the silver ticket into the shopkeeper's hand, picked up her things and ran outside.

"Miss, wait..."

The woman came back to her senses and hurried out after her.

Lu Xu was about to get into the carriage when the woman rushed over to stop her and said, "Miss, my bag is less than 30 taels, I can't take advantage of you."

"In your mother's belongings, there is a pearl walker. Which master did it come from?" Lu Xu answered the wrong question, and the woman was stunned and said: "That walker is my little girl's handiwork when she was young. If Miss likes that walker, The little girl is willing to make another step shake for the young lady."

"Okay, now I'm in a hurry, and I'll ask you to come and help me later."

After Lu Xu finished speaking, he got into the carriage, and the woman didn't realize it until the carriage was far away: "Hey miss, my name is Lu Muyu, and I live in Lu Mansion in Dongcheng... Lu Wenxiang's Lu Mansion."

As if she was afraid that others would not find it, the woman added at the end, Suzaku realized it at this time, and sighed: "The third house is so short of money that it misses a dead person's things. It's a pity for a child without a mother, and he is dying. disease, it must be difficult to save that little money.”

In fact, when the woman opened her mouth just now, they recognized Lu Muyu, but they didn't want to reveal their identity, so they deliberately pretended not to know each other.

"I also lost my mother when I was young, and I also suffered from an incurable disease, so why am I not short of money?"

Lu Xu retorted coldly. In fact, she was not angry that Suzaku sympathized with Lu Muyu, but that she was angry at herself for buying Lu Muyu's things.

Suzaku knew the reason well, and changed the subject on purpose: "Miss, I just found out that there are two lavender pearls in it, which will definitely look good when used to make a pair of earrings; there are also these small pearls, which are enough to make a dragon beard bracelet." A nice set of heads."

"Dragon beard bracelet technique, it sounds like you know it." Lu Xu lazily replied, Suzaku smiled disapprovingly: "If you don't know it, you can learn it, maybe you can learn to calm down, and suddenly the servant will be promoted to the seventh rank. "

"Forget it, when the elixir is refined, I'll get you one."

Lu Xu wasn't attacking Suzaku. The problem with Suzaku was not her aptitude, but her character. It was hard for her to calm down and do anything other than serve her.

Suzaku immediately protested: "Miss, don't underestimate your servant."

"How dare I underestimate you." Lu Xu played word games, but he didn't even notice.

"You don't want to fool this servant, I want to try." Suzaku was hit by Lu Xu, and insisted on improving his cultivation by his own ability.

"Actually, you don't need to be too inferior." Lu Xu tried to comfort Suzaku: "Look at the owner of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, the head of a faction is only a seventh-rank cultivation base. Judging from your age, you are a hundred times stronger than her, and you still have the ability to sprint three times." the possibility of

"Miss, this servant suspects that you are trying to frighten this servant."

"Be confident and get rid of doubts."

Lu Xu patted Suzaku on the shoulder, affirming his fearful thoughts.

With such a vicious master, Suzaku had no choice but to accept his fate.

When I came outside the palace again, I could see Gu Qi standing outside from a distance. Seeing them coming back, he said: "The internal servant has sent a message that the court meeting will not end for a while, and it is estimated that it will continue to be postponed. If Miss Lu Xu is tired If you're bored, you can go back to Lu Mansion or Longyin Villa first."

"Miss, what's the big deal that took so long?" Suzaku asked curiously, and Lu Xu hissed, "I've already been kicked out of the court, and you don't want to ask about the affairs of the court in the future. Just like ordinary women in the boudoir, they don't hear the affairs of the court, they eat, drink and play around."

"The maidservant thinks that Miss should have done so long ago."

"But it's not too late."

Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "Let's not wait, go back to the residence and find Lu Muyu."

"The distance is not far, why don't we go for a walk." Suzaku suggested in a low voice: "I just happen to buy some small things on the way, pearls are not enough to make jewelry."

"Then we can't buy it randomly." Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go shopping first, as if we know the market in advance, and we have something to say when we discuss with Qingluan later, we can't fight unprepared wars, yes Bar."

"Do you really want to do jewelry business?" Suzaku thought Lu Xu was just talking.

"Idle is idle." Lu Xu got up and walked out of the carriage first, and said to Gu Qi who was guarding outside: "Tell sir, I will go to the South Market with Suzaku."

"Need to send you there?" Gu Qi turned around and asked.

"That's unnecessary. There are many stalls in the South Market and the roads are narrow, so it's not easy for a carriage to travel." Lu Xu waved his hand and said, "Besides, we can't be sure about the court meeting. You wait here. There are crested ibis snacks in the carriage. If you are hungry, eat first. Pad the snacks, and I'll bring you a roast chicken later."

"Miss Lu Xu, go slowly."

Lu Xu grabbed Suzaku's arm and turned around to disappear.

When the two of them appeared at the South Market, they had already changed into white-washed commoner clothes, and wandered around the wholesale market wearing a veiled hat.

When he visited the wholesale market for the first time, facing all kinds of products, Lu Xu was dumbfounded and said in embarrassment: "I think there is a specialization in the art industry, so I will find someone who is an expert and go shopping together another day. Let's go to listen to the book and buy a roast chicken by the way."

"How can we discuss with Qingluan when we go back, or we can just look at it and not buy it."

Suzaku suggested in a low voice, Lu Xu thought about it and nodded, but after asking around, no one knew.

The two had no choice but to go back home, and when they reached the gate, they saw Lu Chong rushing out with someone. Suzaku was afraid that he would attack Lu Xu, so he quickly stopped in front of Lu Xu.

Lu Chong glanced at Lu Xu and led the people away in a hurry. Suzaku asked the room without Lu Xu asking, and came back and lowered his voice: "Someone sent a letter to the third son just now. They don't know the content. I think it's better to go back and ask." In our house."

"Miss is back."

Lu Xu had just entered the Shangsu Garden, and the whole garden was happily spreading the word.

It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Shangsu Garden has also been redecorated, and it looks a little more festive for the New Year.

"Why did the third son bring so many people out?"

After returning to the house and looking at Qingluan, Lu Xu immediately asked about Sanfang.

Qingluan put down the account book in her hand and said: "It seems that Ms. Sun has disappeared, and the third son took someone out to look for it."

"Has Lu Muyu not come back yet?" Lu Xu asked in surprise.

Qingluan was even more surprised: "You guys met Miss Sun, when and where?"

"It's in Huating Square in Dongshi." Suzaku said without hesitation, "Miss is spending money to get rid of her anger. She went to redeem her biological mother's belongings, but she didn't recognize us. She didn't have enough money because she wanted her pearls. She paid 300 taels Buy silver and study it."

"Spending money to calm down, who dares to anger the young lady?" Qingniao asked in surprise.

"..."

Suzaku didn't speak, but pointed to the sky.

Qingluan and Qingniao knew each other instantly, no wonder the master didn't come back, the lady came back first by herself.

Lu Xu thoughtfully said: "According to the distance, Lu Muyu should come back before us... Maybe the robbers overheard her when she shouted and kidnapped her."

"Why did you see that she was kidnapped and not lost?" Qing Luan asked curiously, Lu Xu said about the letter: "You didn't see Lu Chong's anxious look when he went out, it's probably a blackmail letter sent by the kidnappers, he Possibly to confirm the authenticity of the letter."

"Miss, can we help?"

"Not in a hurry."

Lu Xu thought for a moment and said, "If Sanfang doesn't take the initiative to speak up, we'll pretend we don't know."

"My servant agrees with Miss's suggestion." Qingniao immediately supported, the reason is: "The people in the third room are rascals and shameless, maybe we helped them on their own initiative, but they still blamed me, so Miss waited for them to beg us on their own initiative, we Please come forward and ask Shuntian Mansion for help."

"And..." Qingluan solemnly reminded: "I can't mention it for the time being, you have met Ms. Sun."

"That's how it's arranged."

Lu Xu asked Suzaku to fetch some snacks and dried fruits.

Pulling Qingluan to sit down, he said, "Qingluan, I have a new business opportunity."

It's not the first time Qingluan faced this kind of thing, and said calmly: "Miss, let me tell you first, and I will go out to have a look after listening."

Lu Xu briefly explained the concept of "single product", and then heard the little girl from the garden come in and say, "Miss, the old lady asked you to come over, saying that there is something important to discuss."
