Luo nine needles

Chapter 214

Xiahou's house is near Taixue, because most of the teachers, students and clerks are away because of the holidays, it is cleaner than before.

But also because of the festival, when I opened the window on the second floor, I could hear noises from a distance, which seemed to be singing and dancing or laughter.

"Miss, Mrs. Madam has already rested." The maid came in and said, "You should also rest."

Miss Xia Hou leaned against the window and shook her head: "I'll wait."

The maid looked at the drip glass and said, "The lantern feast in the imperial city is coming to an end." She said with a smile, "Miss, are you waiting for Mr. Lu to come?"

Miss Xia Hou was quite calm: "As a student of my father and also a Hanlin appointed by His Majesty, he will definitely be called to compose poems. He will definitely not let himself and His Majesty lose face, and win the top spot and be rewarded by His Majesty." Speaking of this, he smiled again, "He will definitely invite an imperial lantern."

The servant girl suddenly realized when she heard this, and laughed again.

"I understand. Miss, you didn't go to watch the lanterns. Mr. Lu wants to bring back the lanterns in front of the emperor for you."

Miss Xiahou didn't deny it, and smiled slightly while looking at the night outside the window. Mr. Lu San is such a person. He is knowledgeable, free and easy, and he treats someone well with his heart.

It is a rare blessing to have such a husband and son-in-law for a lifetime.

How can women not like such a good man?Thinking about it this way, he really couldn't blame that Seven Star.

I just hope that Qixing can understand that no matter how good a man is, it is really good to be in love with each other, otherwise he will just suffer himself.

"Miss, you go to sleep. He is so careful, he will definitely not come in to disturb everyone, and he will leave after the lantern is delivered to the door." The maid said with a smile.

Miss Xia Hou turned her head and smiled: "He has a heart, so I don't?"

The so-called mind-to-heart connection means that there must be this word. Mutual mutuality only blindly makes people care, and sooner or later it will fade away.

What's more, in terms of knowledge and interest, would she lose to him?

"The ginger soup is ready, and I will personally bring it to congratulate him on winning the first prize in poetry."

The maid answered yes with a smile.

Miss Xiahou continued to lean against the window, looking at the flickering lights near and far.

I don't know when the lights faded away.

Miss Xia Hou only felt that her arms were also heavy, as if an iron weight had fallen. She shook suddenly and opened her eyes.

As far as the eye can see, it is no longer the bright and dark night. Although the night was dark last night, it was dotted with light, and at this moment there is only a dimness.

And she was no longer leaning against the window, but reclining on the bed.

He wasn't really asleep yet, he seemed to be leaning on the bed, then slipped and fell over, crushing his arms.

Miss Xiahou rubbed her arm and remembered what happened. Waited and waited, but there was no knock on the door. The servant girl persuaded her to go to bed and take a nap for a while. When someone came, she must call her. In and out.

I didn't expect it to be dawn.

Miss Xia Hou subconsciously looked at the table case. On the table case were tea bowls, snacks, and a hand stove that was put down casually. Just like last night, there was no extra lantern.

So no lights were sent last night?
Didn't you win the reward?
Miss Xia Hou was thinking wildly, she got off the bed, and just about to call someone, the maid came in hurriedly, she didn't care to greet Miss, you're awake, and said, "It's not good, Miss, something happened to Mr. Lu last night."

Miss Xiahou was walking to the table to pick up the tea, when she heard this, she gave her hands a pause: "What's wrong with him?"

I thought to myself that there was a delay because of something, otherwise I would not have come.

Inexplicably relieved.

Strange, I didn't panic when I heard that something happened to him, maybe I was sure that even if something happened to him, he would be able to resolve it.

Sure enough, the maidservant's next sentence was "He's fine."

"It's his sister." The maid said, "Last night while watching the lantern, his sister fell into the water and was rescued by Huo Dudu."

Saved by Huo Lian?This matter sounds really weird, when will Huo Lian save someone?It will save the lives of prisoners who can't die. The purpose is not to save, but to torture, so that they can squeeze more, or purely to torture.

Miss Xiahou was also a little dazed, and the next moment she came back to her senses, her expression became strange.

"younger sister?"

How could Lu Yizhi have a younger sister in the capital?

She sat down holding the teacup, and her heart sank.

……

……

When Miss Xiahou came to her mother, she was already up.

"Someone will come before dawn."

The lady in charge in the yard here said.

It was related to Lu Yizhi, and in everyone's eyes, it was related to Xiahou's family, so they hurriedly sent a capable servant to inform him when they had a good relationship with Xiahou's family.

Mrs. Xiahou was woken up before dawn, and Miss Xiahou's maid was also informed by her.

While talking here, someone came running outside the door, saying that the wife of some family asked someone to borrow something to show off. This is just an excuse, but in fact it is for the servant to pass on the message.

The lady in charge signaled to Miss Xiahou that it was like this, and then asked Miss Xiahou to go in, while she hurriedly went to see the maid.

If necessary, bring Mrs. Xiahou to speak in person, and simply listen to the conveyance.

"I was nervous at the first banquet, and I fell into the water when I crossed the bridge again." Mrs. Xiahou explained to Miss Xiahou by pressing her forehead.

Being woken up suddenly, one after another came to her door, it really scared her at first, her head hurt a little, but now that she knew what was going on, she was not so nervous anymore.

"Huo Lian disturbed the lantern feast in order to prevent accidents. This is also his duty."

The lady in charge also came back at this time, and conveyed the words of the new lady servant who sent the news, nothing more than words like "the injury is not serious" and "the imperial doctor is watching".

Mrs. Xiahou nodded, and turned her head to see Miss Xiahou sitting on a chair in a daze.

"If you're worried, just ask him to come." She said, smiling again, "I guess he will come in person at dawn, and he must be at home to put his sister at home."

Miss Xiahou said, "I haven't heard of any of his younger sisters coming."

Mrs. Xiahou froze for a moment: "Xu just came here, because your father is sick, I was too embarrassed to bother you, and I didn't tell you."

Miss Xiahou shook her head slowly.

Not to bother him is indeed something Lu Yizhi would do, but taking his sister to the Lantern Festival is definitely not something he would do.

A younger sister came here before, but she rushed back without letting the door open. How could she be brought to the lantern feast in the imperial city with such caution?

"After all, it's a royal banquet. Who doesn't want to go and see it? Even if the Miss Lu family has such an older brother, this is probably the only chance in her life." Mrs. Xiahou said.

Miss Xiahou still shook her head slowly. Lu Yizhi is not the kind of person who dotes on his younger sister. He has his own ideas and is very firm about what he can and cannot do.

The mother and daughter were talking, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. The lady in charge who had just left came rushing in again, followed by a servant woman with a basket on her shoulders.

This is a servant girl from the kitchen, and she doesn't come to Mrs. Xiahou every day.

"Madam, madam, it's not good." The lady in charge said anxiously, "Doctor Huo brought Mr. Lu's younger sister... back to the mansion."

The servant woman who bought vegetables nodded hurriedly after her: "Yes, ma'am, I went to the street to buy vegetables, and it spread all over the place, and..."

She looked up at Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xiahou, as if she couldn't speak.

Mrs. Xiahou patted the table: "And what?"

"And it's..." the maid gritted her teeth and said, "I took it back."

Mrs. Xiahou's face froze, and she couldn't speak for a moment.

Miss Xiahou held her hands in front of her, and seemed to be talking to herself: "This is terrible."

……

……

"At that time, the Lantern Festival had not yet ended, and there were huge crowds of people celebrating the festival on the street."

"Nadu Chasi Bingwei suddenly came out in a group, dispersed the crowd on the street, and escorted a carriage."

"The windowless, dark and scary carriage is recognized by everyone, and it belongs to Huo Lian."

"Although Duchasi seldom approached, there were still many people passing by Duchasi's gate during the festival last night. Many people saw Huo Lian coming down from the carriage with someone in their arms."

"The lights outside the Duchasi are bright, as if it were daytime. Although the man is tightly wrapped, the exposed hair and figure are like a woman."

Although they didn't see the woman's face clearly, it didn't matter to many people. The important thing was that Huo Lian carried a woman back home.

This unprecedented experience spread throughout the city that night, and after dawn, everyone who sold vegetables and breakfast in the market knew about it, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

You don't need to see it in person, Lu Yizhi knows it too.

He waved his hand, signaling the boy to stop talking.

After rushing back from the palace last night, he already knew that Qi Xing hadn't returned.

Lu Yizhi didn't speak either, he just covered his face with his hands and rubbed it, as if he was relieving his exhaustion from not sleeping all night.

The little servant tremblingly said, "My lord, was that servant girl taken away by Duchasi?"

Lu Yizhi exhaled through his fingers.

"It would be nice if we got caught," he said.

Better to kill on the spot.

But now it's really bad.
