Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 173
In the previous life, when Lu Hou was poisoned and died suddenly at home, only Lu Xiao was present.

Moreover, a guard and the second son of the Lu family testified that they saw Lu Xiao enter Luhou's study with tea...

Later, when this matter broke out, Luo's mother and son went to His Majesty and the Queen Mother to testify that Lu Xiao had killed his father!It was the Queen Mother and Lu Hou's former troops who came forward to protect Lu Xiao, so that Lu Xiao escaped...

Unexpectedly, half a year later, Lu Xiao tried his best to turn the tide, he found an excuse to divide Sheng Rubai's body, and even ordered the secret guards to chase Luo Shi and his younger brother Lu Yuan all the way.

During the chase, Lu Yuan's asthma was caused, and he died of illness on the carriage. Luo Shi also committed suicide because of this despair...

Lu Xiao's wrist is very good, the death of Luo Shi's mother and son in the previous life did not make much splash, so he was told to press it down.

Although he has lost some reputation... But does that fellow Lu Xiao care about false fame?

With a knife in hand, who would dare to tease you?

At that time, she was far away in Xiliang, and she didn't know that the situation in the court was turbulent. Looking back now, it's a bit strange...

Not to mention the grievances between Lu Xiao and Luo's mother and son, but when Lu Xiao was suffering, the Empress Dowager actually came forward to protect him... This is very strange!
At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress died of illness one after another, and Concubine Xiao's mother and son became the best candidates to be in charge of the East Palace. Based on the relationship between Lu Xiao and Concubine Xiao's aunt and nephew, it stands to reason that the Empress Dowager should have no reason to submit to the Lu family...

"Princess Chonghua..."

Wei Wan got down from the carriage, greeted Li Taiwei in person, blessed her with a smile and said:

"What is the princess thinking? So lost in thought?"

Li Taiwei's footsteps paused, and then he calmed down, returned the gift, looked at Wei Wan who was wearing a pomegranate red dress, and said with a light smile:

"I'm wondering what Miss Wei is looking for me today?"

Wei Wan didn't expect Li Taiwei to ask the question directly in front of everyone, and couldn't help but look at the guards on both sides with a guilty conscience.

Mrs. Li had a smile on her face, but she was obviously a little alienated, which made Wei Wan feel a little hot for a while, and prevaricated:
"I heard that the princess loves sweets very much. There is a new sugar shop on Yong'an Street in the south of the city. I saw that the taste is so good, so I thought of inviting the princess to have a party..."

"I made an appointment with Miss Jin Si, but today she accompanied Mrs. Jin to Fahua Temple to offer incense, which made the Princess abrupt..."

Seeing her blushing, Li Taiwei brought Miss Jin Si out as a cover, but did not point her face to face, smiled and said:
"So... I am lucky today..."

Seeing that Li Taiwei responded, Wei Wan happily helped her into the carriage.

This Ruyi Tangshui shop is located in the southwest corner of Yong'an Street. The shop is not big, but the layout is refreshing.

The shopkeeper is not a local, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the two girls who just entered the door are dressed in expensive clothes, and they don't look like ordinary noble girls at first glance.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly greeted them personally, and led the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

Wei Wan ordered a few of the shop's signature dim sum, and ordered a bowl of glutinous rice soup with lotus seeds and rock sugar.

Waiting for Xiao Er to serve snacks, Wei Wan personally poured Li Taiwei a cup of tea and said with a smile:
"Princess, try it. This quinoa scented tea is the specialty of this shop. It is the most greasy. It is rare in Shengjing City."

Li Taiwei brought the tea, took a sip, and it was really fragrant, smelling the tea made people feel a little bit more hungry.

After a while, the shopkeeper personally brought up six plates of exquisitely made dim sum in different shapes, and reported the name of the dim sum to the two of them one by one, and introduced the production method in general, and finally served the sweet soup of blood glutinous rice. out.

Li Taiwei picked up a piece of bean paste crisp that was fried to golden yellow, brought it to his mouth and took a small bite, it was really crispy and sweet, not greasy, so he casually praised it.

Wei Wan smiled even more when she heard this, and put a small piece of rose custard on Li Taiwei's plate, saying:

"As long as the princess is happy, you might as well try this dish again... This dessert is not only exquisite in style, but also has a floral fragrance in your mouth!"

Li Taiwei took a look at the cakes made of roses, and tasted them like a good person, and really praised them.

Wei Wan reached out for the teapot again, and personally added fragrant tea for Li Taiwei, then said slowly:

"The last time I came here with my father and brother, I thought that the princess would like it. Today is really a coincidence..."

Li Taiwei served tea, and raised her eyes to look over upon hearing this.

What a coincidence?Fortunately, she said that her face was not red and her heart was not beating.

Obviously she was the one who waited for her in front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for more than half an hour, what kind of coincidence is this?

Besides, she and Wei Wan only met once, where did the love come from so that she could still think of herself when she had snacks with her father and brother?

Mrs. Li took a sip of the tea slightly, smiled lightly and did not make a sound.

Seeing that Li Taiwei was only drinking tea but didn't intend to start a conversation, Wei Wan paused slightly with her fingertips clutching the handkerchief, and said in embarrassment:

"I heard that His Majesty will be hunting in the paddock next month. I wonder if the princess will go with him?"

Li Taiwei put down the teacup, glanced at Wei Wan's slightly nervous face, and said calmly:
"This matter has not yet been decided, and you know that my mother is getting heavier... If my grandmother insists on asking my mother to stay in the house to raise the baby this year, I'm afraid I may not be able to accompany her..."

Li Taiwei didn't know why she purposely inquired about this today, the two had never had any friendship, so naturally there was no reason to tell the truth.

Wei Wan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to grab another piece of pastry for Li Taiwei, and concealed it:
"That's a pity..."

"I just came to Beijing with my elder brother and my mother a few years ago, but I have never seen such an occasion... I originally thought that I could be a companion with the princess, and if I made a mistake, I could get some advice from the princess... ..."

Li Taiwei stared fixedly at Wei Wan's gesture of pretending regret, how could the flash of relief in her eyes escape her eyebrows?
Li Taiwei thought to herself, there is no conflict with her now, why did she feel so happy when she heard that she couldn't go?

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind...

Li Taiwei chuckled suddenly, and said tentatively:
"The Fourth Miss Jin will definitely go with Mrs. Jin that day, so it's good for you to go with her..."

Wei Wancai nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea, and heard Li Taiwei continue:
"Besides, if I can't go, my fourth younger sister will go with my eldest cousin... I will explain to her later, if you have any difficulties, you can ask her..."

"Sister Yao has a gentle temperament, I look a bit similar to you, I think you will become good sisters..."

Sure enough, Wei Wan's complexion changed upon hearing this, especially the phrase "good sister", which made her complexion turn pale instantly.

Seeing this, Li Taiwei felt confident, and pretended to be worried:

"Miss Wei, what's the matter? I see that your complexion is not very good. Could it be that you are unwell?"

Wei Wan hastily clenched the veil tightly, lowering her eyes to cover up:

"It's okay, it's okay, maybe the tea is getting colder... I have a little stomachache..."

Li Taiwei wiped her hands with a handkerchief, got up and said goodbye to her:

"Since this is the case, Miss Wei should go back and rest earlier... There are still some things in my house, I will invite Miss Wei sometime..."

When Li Taiwei said this, Wei Wan naturally couldn't stop her. She glanced at the untouched sweet soup in front of Li Taiwei, got up and sent her out.

Li Taiwei got into the carriage, said goodbye to Wei Wan through the window, when Dafu lowered the curtain, Li Taiwei couldn't help frowning.

When did Wei Wan, who was discussing marriage with Sheng Rubai, pay attention to Li Yao?What about Li Yao?Does she know about the Wei Sheng family's marriage negotiation?
