Lu Chengan solemnly nodded and agreed, thought for a while, and then asked hesitantly: "I don't know what the Second Young Madam likes, son, let someone ask for it first?"

"Who taught you to inquire about the master's affairs casually?" Lu Ping frowned when he heard this, and reprimanded him severely, "You don't know the temper of the second master? This is a taboo thing! Even the second young lady can't inquire casually! Besides, what can you find out now?"

Speaking of this, Lu Ping frowned helplessly and let out a sigh of relief, and waved his hands powerlessly to drive Lu Chengan out of the house.

"Letting you give gifts is just a formality, so that the second master has an idea of ​​his attitude towards us. You haven't read the book for a few years, you have to really read this book into your head!"

Lu Chengan hurriedly agreed and backed out bowing his waist, closed the door without any hesitation, turned around and called the servant, walked out of the yard all the way, and hurried to several shops of Lu's house.

The night was getting darker, Weiyuan City was also quiet, and the night wind swept across the street, bringing a chill.Wei Yanliang followed the Lu family's convoy into the yard, but now he was left alone outside the yard, and the pair dispersed silently as soon as they entered the yard, before anyone recovered , Changshou and Zhou Chuan also disappeared.

Standing in the empty and quiet yard, Wei Yanliang, two young servants and a groom driving a cart were shivering in unison under the night wind.

"Fourth Master, forgive me, forgive me!" The two servants walked around the courtyard for half a circle, and were about to find someone, when Changshou hurriedly ran out from the inner courtyard through the hanging flower gate, repeatedly bowing to Wei Yanliang. He started to apologize, and finally patted himself on the head in self-blame.Laughing and apologizing, "It's not the fourth master's fault. The little one just took care of the carriage of the master and his wife, and didn't care about the fourth master. The fourth master's residence is small. It's in the guest room at the back. It's simple, and the young ones are not as careful as the maids and mothers-in-law, please don't dislike the fourth master, if there is something bad, the fourth master can just say it, and let the younger ones be cleaned up."

Wei Yanliang waved his hands and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay. This is the second master's yard. It's because of the second master's honor that I can live here. I'm going to trouble you today."

Changshou laughed twice when he heard the words, and said "I dare not take it", leading Wei Yanliang into the guest room.

The guest room is quiet, with only one lantern hanging on the wall alone.The yard is not big, and the furnishings are very simple, but fortunately it is clean.On the contrary, there is an old tree in the yard that is dense and flourishing.There is a stone table under the tree and a well in the corner.The corners of the wall are covered with vines, and several clusters of wild flowers bloom brilliantly under the moonlight, which looks wild and interesting.

The two servants following Wei Yanliang's eyes widened in astonishment, looked at the simple yard in disbelief, and sighed inwardly.My grandfather really wants to live in such a place?Don't even have a servant girl?

"Forgive me, fourth master. There are fewer people in this yard. Please stay here for one night. If fourth master has an order, send someone to the outer courtyard to call for the younger one. The younger one lives in the front door and turns left. , bypass the corridor, and the room at the back." Changshou grinned and confessed, and then explained carefully to the two servants behind Wei Yanliang the furnishings in the room, where the bedding and toiletries were, and where the people left to rest. The location of the anteroom and the kitchen, etc., and then he took his leave and left.

Wei Yanliang watched Changshou's back turn around the door and hide in the night. After a while, he turned his head and told the two stunned servants: "Go to the kitchen and get some food. I'll ask for some water."

After finishing the order, Wei Yanliang smiled wryly and turned to look at the old small courtyard.Walking into the main house again, looking at the empty room and the lonely bed, he sighed helplessly.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, maybe the elder brother offended the master earlier, and the master took all his anger on him now, right?

Wei Yanliang lamented at the empty room, while Changshou held Zhou Chuan anxiously and anxiously.

"It's been several days, and the Lord and Madam have not sent a single letter to Pingliang Mansion! Do you still dare to stand here?" Changshou stared at Zhou Chuan, stomped his feet fiercely and turned half a circle, irritably Knocking on the head, muttering words. "Why do you think my master is going to Pingliang Mansion properly? That Lord He is still waiting to see you and his wife. My master didn't explain clearly. Is this whereabouts revealed or not?"

"You stupid boy!" Zhou Chuan pulled out his arm, knocked Changshou on the head, and hummed very calmly, "Since the master didn't say it, let others guess! No matter who comes looking for it, just say that the master and Madame is nowhere to be seen, so it's over?"

"Isn't Master going to the army in a hurry?" Changshou stared at Zhou Chuan speechlessly, with an expression that I can't tell you clearly. "It is said that the master and the wife are not seen. The master is fine. If those people want to go wrong, it is the madam's fault. Turn around, madam... Humph!"

Zhou Chuan looked at Changshou and opened his mouth, then shook his head weakly and sighed, nodded his head, and taught "sincerely": "You are stupid! Why didn't you turn the corner today? The steward next to Madam Is Mammy still there? Those girls are also there? Don’t you know how to talk to Mammy?”

Changshou's eyes lit up, he slapped his head with a slap, turned half a circle on the spot, hurriedly nodded to Zhou Chuan, laughed twice, and quickly went to the yard to find Madam Cao and Madam Xing up.

Early the next morning, Lu Cheng'an brought a box of carefully selected items to the courtyard where the Lu's team stayed and knocked on the door.Seeing that it was Changshou who opened the door, Lu Chengan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled familiarly: "It's you boy! How about coming this way? How about the second master and the second young lady?"

"It's all good." Changshou smiled politely, his eyes swept over the mahogany box, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he turned sideways to let someone carry the box into the yard. "You are?"

"I heard that the Second Young Madam also came here with the Second Master. No, I'm here today to deliver something to the Second Young Madam." Lu Chengan smiled and patted Changshou's shoulder, as if chatting normally, with a light and familiar tone Chao Changshou explained. "It's all new items from various shops, and it happens to be in the hands of the second young lady. My father told me that they must be delivered to the lady."

"Then it's not a coincidence that you came here." Changshou raised his eyebrows, glanced at the box with a strange expression, and immediately restored a smile on his face, but couldn't help but hummed softly in his heart. Get him Lu Dalai to send?

"Ma'am has suffered from heatstroke these two days, I'm afraid she won't see anyone. I'm also busy on the other side."

"It's okay, it's okay," Lu Chengan's eyes remained smiling, but his heart sank. He took a step back from Changshou's arm, bowed politely to Changshou, and asked with a smile, "In that case, we also Don't dare to disturb the Second Master and the Second Young Madam. Please pass this box to Madam."

Changshou smiled and waved his hands, and shook his head dumbfoundedly. He patted Lu Chengan's arm and said with a smile: "Ah, ah, I'm impatient with the sour rules of you scholars! But you are still like that, It’s not that I don’t know each other. It’s worth your salute just to hand over something? Just wait a moment, I’ll send this thing to the yard, and I’ll talk to you later.” He raised his voice and called out two servants come out.

Lu Chengan was not annoyed either, he smiled and said thank you.

The boy carried the box into the yard, Changshou strode into the vertical flower gate, grabbed Qiu Zi at the door, and said in a low voice: "Sister, go and call Cao Mama. The eldest son of the manager Lu brought a box of gifts and said It's for Madam. Sister, please tell Mammy."

Qiu Zi hurriedly agreed to find Cao Mama in the back room, and told about Lu Chengan's gift.

Mammy Cao left the room with a pensive expression, Changshou raised her hand to let the box be put at the door, and let the servant back out.

"This box was delivered by Lu Cheng'an, the eldest son of Mr. Lu himself. He said it was a new item from various shops, and he sent it to Madam Cao." Changshou hurriedly greeted Cao Mama with a smile. Grandma Cao asked a question, then she smiled and told the story. "I told him that Madam has sunstroke, and I'm afraid she won't be able to see anyone for the next two days. Look, ma'am, what's in this box?"

Mammy Cao nodded and signaled Qiu Zi and the others to open the box. Seeing the exquisite jade carvings and crystal clear glazed ornaments in the box, the girls all blinked.

"Just these things?" Lian Qiao curled her lips and muttered disdainfully, "Our wife has as much as I want! It's much better than this!"

Qiu Zi frowned and secretly pinched Lian Qiao, stared at Lian Qiao sternly and reprimanded in a low voice: "Stop saying a few words." She smiled at Chang Shou with a little embarrassment.

Changshou didn't seem to hear Lianqiao's muttering, and just looked honest and honest, waiting for Madam Cao's reply.

"Let's put things away first. Madam has been ill for the past two days, so she may not have time to look at them." Madam Cao smiled and closed the box, and asked in a gentle voice, "I'm really not familiar with the previous routines of the Palace, Mrs. Lu The steward's son sent something, shouldn't there be some rewards?"

"This," Changshou scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Cao Mama and said hesitantly, "I can't say clearly. If the bounty master and wife give it, the people below will be happy. As for what to give, it will be divided among people, this It’s pretty much the same in every prefecture. Nanny must know better than me.” Changshou chuckled a few times, and then added in a vague way, “Lu Cheng’an claims to be a scholar, and Director Lu has also read a few books. According to the annual book, the family has many rules and etiquette. If you don’t know about it outside, no one will think that Manager Lu is in charge of business, hehe!”

"Okay, I got it. Thank you very much." Mammy Cao nodded knowingly, then turned her head and said to Qiuzi, "There are still purses for rewarding people in the room. Let the boy who carries the box seal a five tael each." As for Lu Cheng'an, I remember that shopkeeper Min sent some coral carvings over earlier? Madam told me to keep them. You pick a suitable one and let Changshou send it over."

Qiu Zi agreed and entered the house, and after a while came out with a lacquered wooden box about half a foot long, and handed it to Changshou with a smile.

Changshou blinked his eyes and took a breath in his heart, carved coral?That thing costs more money than jade!Mrs. Pian's nanny and girl just took it out without batting an eye!Don't even ask Mrs.

Sure enough, Zhou Chuan understands that following his wife is better than following his master... cough cough... )
