Chapter 246 Dating
Shen Yi came to the back house of the Lu family with some common New Year gifts in his hand, because he had already entered the Lu family now, so there was no reason why he should not knock on the door, but after arriving under Miss Lu's embroidery building, He still didn't dare to go up directly, so he stood under the embroidered building and shouted at the small building: "Junior Sister Lu~"

Because it was at home and it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Yi's voice was not very loud, so as to avoid causing too many unnecessary troubles.

After he yelled twice, Miss Lu opened the window, poked her head out to look at him, and quickly shrank back.

Then Miss Lian'er ran down, first glanced at Shen Yi, and then said to Shen Yi: "Master Shen, my lady told you not to shout, and wait for her in the living room of the front yard."

Although the small courtyard of the Lu family is not very big, Ganquan Academy is a century-old academy, and Shanchang's residence is naturally not too shabby, so it is well-equipped with all internal organs, not only the front yard and backyard, but also the embroidery building, as well as the living room, study room, bedroom, etc. Wait, everything is available.

After saying this, Lian'er led the way and said, "Master Shen, follow me, I'll take you to the living room."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "No need, I know the way."

Lian'er ignored Shen Yi, and led the way on her own. When she reached the living room, she quickly lit the stove for Shen Yi in the living room, served another cup of hot tea, and then turned around and walked away.

Shen Yi looked at the stove that had just been lit in the living room, and felt dazed.

Lian'er was probably ordered by Miss Lu to light the stove for him, otherwise, sitting in this living room in this season would indeed be a bit bleak.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Miss Lu came to the living room accompanied by Lian Er. After Shen Yi saw her, he stood up from the chair, smiled and waved at her, and greeted her as before. .

"Junior Sister, Happy New Year."

Miss Lu took a deep look at Shen Yi, and then blessed Shen Yi.

"Brother, happy new year."

After the two greeted each other, Lian'er refilled tea for them, and stood silently beside her lady.

Before Shen Yi could speak, Miss Lu lowered her head and took a sip of her tea, then turned her head to look at Lian'er, and said, "Lian'er, this tea is stale, go and boil some water, and make a new pot for senior brother. "

Lian'er looked at Shen Yi, then at Miss Lu, and said in a low voice: "Miss, if I leave, there will only be the two of you left here, he is shameless..."

Miss Lu glanced at Lian Er.

"You can go if you are told. Senior Brother Shen is a student of Dad's family. How could he do something rude?"

Only then did Lian'er lower her head, and went down with the teapot to make tea.

After Lian'er left, Shen Yi, who was originally at ease, became somewhat restrained unconsciously.

because…

This was the first time he had been alone with Miss Lu since he had "acquainted" for more than a year.

With Shen Yi's life experience, he wouldn't be nervous because of this kind of thing, but for some reason, he is indeed nervous for no reason now.

After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Yi managed to calm down. He groped in his sleeve for a while, and then found out a jade rabbit, put it in front of Miss Lu, and said with a smile: "Two days ago, I was on the street in the city. I saw it when I was strolling, junior sister, you are a rabbit, so I gave it to you as a New Year gift, so you can hold it in your hands and play with it when you have nothing to do..."

Miss Lu looked at the naive little rabbit in front of her.

The jadeite is not bad in appearance, and the workmanship is also very good. It is obviously impossible to buy it from the street. It should be picked from a jade shop, and it will not be cheap.

She didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Brother, after the new year, is he going to Jiankang?"

Shen Yi was startled, then nodded and said, "I'm going to Jiankang to take the Chunwei exam."

He lowered his eyebrows.

"No matter what, you have to give it a try."

"Go to Jiankang."

Miss Lu also lowered her brows, instead of looking at Shen Yi or the rabbit, she looked at her feet.

Neither of them spoke.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became awkward because of the silence.

After a while, Miss Lu said a word for no reason.

"Brother will go to Jiankang again this year, and in the second half of the year, maybe he can bring two little girls back to Jiangdu..."

After saying this, she glanced over her face, as if she didn't want Shen Yi to see her current expression.

After Shen Yi heard this sentence, he was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized why Junior Sister Lu's attitude towards him had suddenly cooled down a lot in the past few months since he returned to Jiangdu!
Reminiscent of Master Lu's words that Miss Lu had gone to pick him up at the gate of the city, Shen Yi immediately understood the cause and effect of this incident.

He looked at Miss Lu, lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "Junior Sister, those two are my maids..."

Miss Lu still turned her face away, not looking at Shen Yi.

"I know."

Maids in this era are also called maids.

If it's a young lady's maid, that's quite normal. Those who grew up together may be able to become sisters, but if it's a maid next to a young man, they will generally become a "maid" in the literal sense.

It is serving in bed.

This is a very normal thing. Some sons of rich families, when they are thirteen or fourteen years old, the family will arrange for him an older maid to help him understand "personnel affairs".

For young sons like Shen Yi, the maids who accompany him will basically have an "improper" relationship with his son, and they may be taken into the house as concubines in the future.

Originally, most people in this era were like this, and those two little maids couldn't possibly pose any threat to Miss Lu's status, and Miss Lu shouldn't have any reason to be jealous, but that day when she was on the tower, she saw two little maids. The girl and Shen Yi have an intimate attitude, and in their hearts...

My heart is still more or less uncomfortable.

Thinking that the two little maids might sleep with Shen Yi every night, she felt even more uncomfortable.

This discomfort has been held back for nearly two months, and at this moment when the two of them are alone, she finally spoke out.

Seeing that Miss Lu didn't look at him, Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Junior Sister, those two little girls are both maids of the palace..."

Miss Lu was a little surprised when she heard the word maid, and looked back at Shen Yi.

Shen Qilang said innocently: "I was in Jiankang last year, and I did some things for the palace. Most of the people in the palace saw that I lived in Jiankang alone and couldn't take care of myself, so they sent two maids here. , junior sister, you also know..."

"Whether it's a reward or a punishment, we can't refuse anything offered by this palace."

"Oh."

Miss Lu said "oh" in half-belief, then she stopped looking at Shen Yi and said softly, "What are you talking about to me, and what does it have to do with me?"

Shen Yi stretched out his hand and scratched his head, wondering if he should tell Junior Sister Lu that he and Qing'er Ping'er were innocent.

Don't say it, it seems inappropriate.

Let's just say it, the relationship between him and Junior Sister Lu has not been confirmed, and it seems inappropriate.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Junior Sister, I heard from the teacher that you grew up in Jiankang when you were young. After you came to Jiangdu with your teacher, you haven't returned to Jiankang for a long time."

Miss Lu looked back at Shen Yi, and nodded silently: "Yes, I haven't been to Jiankang for many years."

Shen Yi smiled at her.

"Well, in April this year, I'll come back to pick you up and Master Lu, and let's go to Jiankang for a few days, okay?"
