The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 90

The relationship between Yunniang and Fang Xiuyi gradually became intimate.Either bring Lu Yanming to talk to Fang Xiuyi, or invite Fang Xiuyi to go shopping.Yunniang can speak more and more words, but she still can't speak coherent sentences, and what Fang Xiuyi admires most is that Yunniang didn't repel her from going out because of her lameness. For a beautiful woman, it is really not easy. If it were her, she might feel ashamed because of it.

In this era, Ningbo is more prosperous than Hangzhou, and the folk customs are more open. The people's life is still the same as living and working in peace
Can stick to the side.In the past, Fang Xiuyi and his family traveled around the south, but there were many natural and man-made disasters.Now back to the south, the situation is different, and the attitude towards these places has also changed.After shopping for a few days, I still like it here.

Since Lu Yibei came that day, Fang Xiuyi did not see him again for the next ten days or so. Only Lu Yanming told her every time he saw Fang Xiuyi that Lu Yibei was very busy these days and would occasionally not at home.After so many times, Fang Xiuyi also got a little angry, why didn't he make a decision as soon as possible on such an important matter.She wanted to just rob someone and leave.

Finally, after not seeing Yunniang coming over for a few days, Fang Xiu was furious, it's really a tiger that doesn't show its power, you treat me as a sick cat!After breakfast, she took Mama Shi, Xiaotao, Dongmei Dongxue, Banxia and a few guards, and headed to the Lu Mansion in a mighty way. She had to find out today!

The gate of the Lu residence was closed. Normally, Fang Xiuyi would not have chosen the main entrance. She would have gone to the southeast gate next to her. But today, she was unwilling to give in, so she simply asked Banxia to knock on the door.

After a few unceremonious knocks on the door, the door creaked open, and the gatekeeper came out.

"Who is it?" Ban Xia came to Lu Mansion for the first time, and no one in Lu Mansion knew him.

"Lu Yibei's friend, his surname is He!"

"So it's the second young master's friend, wait a moment. Please come in!"

This time, Fang Xiuyi came uninvited, got out of the carriage outside the door, and entered the door, but no one greeted her.

"Ma'am, shall I drive the carriage in?" Ban Xia also guessed that Fang Xiu came here today to show off.

After Fang Xiu heard this, she burst out laughing, what a big battle this is going to be!

"No, we're here to discuss things, not to fight."

Fang Xiuyi and a group of people were taken by the people of the Lu Mansion to the courtyard of Lu Yibei and Yunniang.As soon as he arrived at the door, Lu Yanming came out to greet him.

The little girl looked worried, and Fang Xiuyi's smile was a little forced.

"Madam He, I'm sorry, I've been a little slow these days."

"Miss Lu, you're being too polite. It's not too late to talk about it. It's just that I haven't seen you and Yunniang for a few days. I'm a little uneasy. Come and have a look."

"I'm really worried about Mrs. He! To tell Mrs. He, my father is sick in bed today."

"What's going on? Is it serious?" Fang Xiuyi was startled, at this juncture, she was actually sick!

"It's all heart disease! Madam He, please!"

Fang Xiuyi smelled the smell of medicine before reaching the door of the main room, and after entering, the smell of medicine became stronger.

I saw Lu Yibei sitting sickly at the table, and Yunniang poured tea and water for him with a worried face, busily busy.

Seeing Fang Xiu coming in, Yun Niang came over and took her hand, with tears in her eyes, as if she was asking: What should I do?
Fang Xiu patted Yunniang's hand to tell her not to worry, and then sat aside.

"Mrs. He, I'm really rude. Lu is really sick, please forgive me!" Lu Yibei didn't speak as crisply as before.

"It's okay! But, what's the matter with your body? Does it matter?" Fang Xiuyi, who was still furious just now, saw the sick Lu Yibei, her heart softened, and her arrogance suddenly subsided.

"Oh, it's a family matter to make Mrs. He laugh."

"Father, what's the family matter? Mrs. He is not an outsider, and Father is still hiding." Lu Yanming said a little angrily.

Fang Xiuyi became even more curious, what housework could make a healthy middle-aged man fall ill all of a sudden.

"Besides Lu Yuan, if you don't mind, just treat me as a girl. If you have anything to say, please speak up. After all, Yunniang is still here."

Lu Yibei looked at Yunniang, her eyes seemed apologetic, Yunniang smiled softly, shook her head, telling him not to worry.

"To tell you the truth, Madam, ever since Madam proposed to take Yunniang to the capital, Lu has been a little tempted. After so many years of doing business, I have long been tired of it." It seemed difficult to speak, Lu Yibei gasped, and comforted Yunniang not to I was worried, and then continued, "A few years ago, I also thought about retiring, but I never saw it through, and I still miss these vulgar things. After careful consideration in the past few days, I decided to take Yunniang to the capital. Yunniang's relatives are Lu's relatives, From then on, he will die in the capital.

"To put it bluntly, Lu's family has a small fortune. Since he wants to go north to the capital, he has to settle everything with the Lu family. However, Lu never expected that the Lu family would ask me to hand over all the business in my hand. In the future, I will no longer be able to engage in business that conflicts with the Lu Mansion, and I will have to take out half of my savings.

"After so many years of hard work, Lu gave most of the income to the mansion, and the rest was more than ordinary people. At that moment, Lu felt that the family relationship in the past suddenly became a demon, and he couldn't think about it for a while. I fainted. But Madam He, don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious, and it will recover after a few days."

When Fang Xiu heard this, she also felt sad.In this world, there is nothing that can hurt someone more than family affection.

"Lu Yuanwai, since he is determined to go to the capital, these are trivial matters. In fact, this is also good. It is better to see the real face early, than to stab someone in the back. Besides, Lu Yuanwai is very human. Since he can achieve the current scale, Then even if you are in the capital, you will feel like a fish in water. Besides, isn’t Yunniang’s younger brother still in the capital? What are you afraid of him doing!” Fang Xiuyi brought up He Huai’an’s name to comfort others for the first time, but she also had a little doubt, Lu Yibei is willing to leave the place where he has lived for decades for a concubine?However, this idea just passed by in a flash, anyway, what He Huai'an hopes is to let his sister live in the capital.

"What Mrs. He said, Lu also knows, but he is too disappointed."

"Why is Daddy sad for those wolf-hearted people? I think Mrs. He is right. It is our luck to leave these people early." Lu Yanming is a straightforward girl.

"Yanming, don't be rude!"

Lu Yanming pouted and stepped aside.

"Don't blame Ms. Lu, other than Lu Yuan, she is right." Fang Xiuyi really likes such a straightforward character. "But I don't know what Lu Yuanwai will do next?"

"Lu Mou's intention to go has been decided, and he has already started arranging manpower to arrange the matter of going north." Lu Yibei said, "Madam He also please tell Master He that Lu Mou still has a property in the capital, and it is still impossible to take care of Yunniang and Yanming. questionable!"

"These are all things for later, adults will not sit idly by. But, I heard that Yanming has two older brothers, don't you want to go together?"

Lu Yibei's face showed sadness, Lu Yanming's face was also full of indignation, Fang Xiuyi was a little strange.

After a while, Lu Yibei said: "A large part of the reason why Lu is so disappointed is these two scoundrels. After I proposed to go north, they were unwilling to go with me and wanted to stay in Ningbo Mansion. "

"Then their relationship with the Lu family..." Fang Xiuyi asked. Since Lu Yibei was not born in the Lu family, the Lu family did not want these two children.

"My parents like them very much and they don't want to separate. The two daughters-in-law don't want to leave Ningbo either. Their natal family is also in Ningbo."

Fang Xiuyi remained silent. According to common sense, no matter what the facts are, being with one's relatives is the right choice. Even if life is difficult, a family reunion can be happy.Now that the flesh and blood are separated like this, and the scene is still so embarrassing, it is really unimaginable.If He Huai'an knew such an ending, he wondered if he would feel guilty.

"Besides the members of Lu, don't worry too much about it. The so-called kinship is hard to let go at any time. Maybe in a few years, they will figure it out and go to the capital to find you."

"Oh, I hope so." Lu Yibei was a little sad.

Fang Xiu took a look at Lu Yanming and asked, "Is Miss Lu willing to come here?"

Lu Yanming hesitated a little, but quickly said: "I want to be with Daddy. Besides, Daddy said, the people in the capital are tolerant, and I can make friends soon."

"I have a daughter who is 11 years old this year. You should be able to tell." In fact, Fang Xiu and Lu Yibei still had some concerns about going to the capital.After all, Lu Yibei is a businessman, and he is also a businessman from other places, so his social status in the capital is self-evident.She doesn't know the specific policies very well, but the social status of businessmen is different, that's for sure.However, with He Huai'an around, as long as it's not breaking the law, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Mrs. He is worried, and Lu is really sorry."

"Lu Yuanwai also said that Yunniang's relatives are your relatives. In this case, we are a family. Why do you still say these things? Actually, I really admire Lu Yuanwai who can put aside these things and go to a different place. Start over. Most people can't do it." Fang Xiuyi asked again, "Just now Yuanwai Lu said that you have long wanted to retire, so if you didn't meet me, what was Yuanwai Lu's original plan?"

Lu Yibei looked at Yunniang, smiled and said, "It turns out that Lu is planning to go to Suzhou. I often go back and forth. I have property and friends. The environment is good and it's close to Ningbo."

Yunniang smiled happily, her eyes were full of Lu Yibei.

Fang Xiuyi sighed, not because of Lu Yibei, but because she felt that Yunniang was too dependent on Lu Yibei, which is not a good thing.

"Since Lu Yuanwai has made such an important decision, I think you must be happy and looking forward to it. I wonder when Lu Yuanwai will leave?"

"Ms. Lu is slightly ill. The doctor said that he will be better in seven or eight days. It will be on the fifth day of next month. After half a month, we will be lucky and go northward, which will be faster and more secure."

"Okay, that's it. I'll write to the capital to inform you of the details."

Although Fang Xiuyi was able to bring Yunniang to the capital, Fang Xiuyi's heart did not relax much because of this.Especially Lu Yibei's decision and encounter made her feel heavy, and she couldn't tell what it was, as if there was a fog in front of her eyes that she couldn't get rid of.Forget it, she told He Huai'an all the knowledge and doubts in her heart, there are always wise people in this world.

During this period, Fang Xiuyi went out a few times, and occasionally heard gossip.Lu Yibei is also a celebrity here, and the commotion this time is really not small.Some people said that it was the Lu family who drove away Lu Yibei and Yunniang, others said that Lu Yibei didn't want to work for the Lu family anymore, so he simply left Ningbo with his family.But there are also people who know the inside story, saying that Yunniang's relatives are in the capital, and they are here to find relatives.However, Fang Xiuyi was relieved that Lu Yibei did not reveal her identity to anyone.If these people knew that they were He Huai'an's sister, it would have been a different scene.

In terms of personnel arrangement, Fang Xiuyi re-arranged the personnel because of the need to travel by water.

"Stand aside if you can swim."

There are four guards, and two sisters, Dongmei and Dongxue.

"This time we are going back to Beijing, because we are going by water, so we divided people into two groups. Those who can swim will follow me by boat, and the rest will follow Pinellia by land, and follow the boat all the way."

"No, madam, I want to take the boat with madam." Xiaotao was the first to object.

"And me, ma'am." Mama Shi also wanted to take the boat.

"Xiaotao, Mama Shi, you don't know how to swim, so follow Banxia and the others. This time, I will go back to Beijing by boat, but I am worried that there will be accidents, and if you don't know how to swim, you will be in danger. That's why I let everyone go separately. Good care."

"Ma'am, it's a long way back to Beijing, Madam must have people by her side." Mother Shi said.

"Mother Shi, I will take care of myself. I don't worry if you go by land."

"Ma'am, I just take the boat to and fro, no problem."

Fang Xiuyi was about to say something, Ban Xia spoke.

"Ma'am, I will take some people on land and follow the boat. Xiaotao and Mama Shi will follow on the boat. I have two guards in charge of them. If there is any accident, I can respond as soon as possible. Dongmei Dongxue, The two of you must not leave Madam's side all the way."

Ban Xia has a certain prestige in the mansion, such a decision was quickly accepted by everyone, and Fang Xiuyi didn't say anything else.Since everyone can accept it, she has no objections.
