Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 31
It should be said that Lu Jinyan and the Ninth Prince had met for a few times, but at that time the Ninth Prince Ying Su was quite young and domineering.

When we met again today, with his outstanding appearance and demeanor, he could recognize the man in front of him as the Ninth Prince, who is very much loved by saints today.

Lu Jinyan collected his thoughts, stood outside the gate of the mansion, exchanged polite greetings with Ying Su and his party, and then welcomed them into the mansion as honored guests.

"Ah Lu, hurry up and inform the eldest son and third son, and tell them that there are distinguished guests in the mansion and let them return home quickly!" Lu Jinyan gave instructions to the guard at the gate, and then asked Yingsu to "please" gesture, get out of the way and let Ying Su walk in through the door first.

"My lord, you're being polite!" Ying Su nodded slightly, her expression was silent, and she didn't evade any more. She lifted off the lake-green straight-fronted robe and stepped in.

Lu Jinyan led Yingsu and the others towards the front hall of Zhongyi Hall, and at the same time introduced the scenic spots and folk customs of Suzhou City to Yingsu and the others.

Ying Su listened to him patiently and nodded cooperatively from time to time.

He seemed to be concentrating, but in fact, a pair of cold eyes looked at the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion as if examining him.

The courtyard is square, spacious and bright. There are no noisy gold and silver decorations, but along the way, there are many encircling and thick willow trees, with luxuriant branches and leaves, forming shade one after another.

Compared with the extravagant and exaggerated attitudes of the rich and aristocratic mansions in Beijing, this Duke Lu's mansion seems to be full of vigor and vitality.

The servants and maidservants who passed by were all well-mannered, walking slowly, and concentrated on doing their own errands.

Although compared with those noble families in Beijing, Duke Lu's mansion seems to be a bit tight on the surface, but he, Yingsu, felt that there was some ingenuity in the simple courtyard, so he said that digging the inner lake, which was hundreds of feet wide and long, would be a good idea. It's going to take a lot of human and financial resources.

As soon as I walked past the lake, I could faintly see piles of koi and impatiens swimming inside. The scales of the fish were transparent in color without a trace of impurities.

Ying Su saw that Duke Lu had a dignified appearance, was humble and courteous, and had a very good family style in the mansion, but how could he give birth to such a modest daughter?
Just thinking about it in his mind, he didn't take a few steps until he reached the entrance of the front hall.

Yingsu and the others looked up at the wooden plaque above.

Zhongyitang, a good name, even though he has resigned for many years, he still has blood and is willing to devote himself to Dongying until he dies.

In my heart, I admire Lu Guogong again.

Lu Jinyan invited the three of them to sit down, whispered something to the servant again, and showed them tea.

After a while, the servant brought four exquisite tea bowls and placed them on the side of the table where several people were sitting.

Lu Jinyan was still the celadon tea bowl he was used to. The tea bowl placed on Yingsu’s table was as black as ink, and two or three gorgeous black peonies bloomed on the wall of the bowl. This was the first time he saw a tea bowl of this style, and he was amazed. .

Lu Jinyan noticed his strangeness, and with a smile on his face, he explained loudly: "This is drawn by the little girl in the family when she has nothing to do. The style held by the Ninth Prince is an orphan among the peonies in Luoyang, and it is called Guanshi Moyu."

Ying Su listened carefully, and when he finished listening to Lu Jinyan, he glanced at the teacup in his hand, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

Put the mouth of the bowl on your lips and lift slightly.

The tea is raw, it should have a bitter taste, but he drank it like sweets.

Fuyun, who was sitting on the seat, pointed to the white porcelain tea bowl with yellow and white petals on the wall in front of himself and Moya table with curiosity, and asked, "My lord, what's the difference between us?" What is the name of the teacup?"

Lu Jinyan smiled happily, pointed to the tea bowl and said, "This is magnolia flower, it can be used as medicine!"

Fuyun held the tea bowl, carefully turned it around, and couldn't put it down: "Can you give this to me, my lord?"

"Of course it's possible. If you like it, my master, I'll have someone wrap it up in a while!" Lu Jinyan nodded and answered in response.

Seeing that her master didn't refute, Fuyun seemed to agree, sat happily on her seat and smiled foolishly.

Seeing his appearance, Mo Ya, who had been standing beside him as cold as frost, turned his head and paused for a moment on the young man's face like the bright sun, then hurriedly lowered his head again.

Ying Su and Lu Jinyan had a good conversation, because they praised the Lu family for their willingness to lend a helping hand to quell the chaos of the people in the city of Suzhou in the past few days.

Lu Jinyan laughed and laughed, putting all the credit on his eldest son. Just as Yingsu wanted to ask, a maid in a peach-pink pleated ruyi moon skirt hurriedly ran from outside.

This maid is Lu Ziyu's personal maid, Luo Ning.

Luo Ning ran all the way from the gate of the mansion to the front hall with flushed cheeks. Seeing Lu Jinyan hurriedly saluted him, he said urgently: "My lord is not well, fourth miss and fourth miss are gone?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jinyan was dumbfounded, what is missing?
A good living person, how could he disappear!

Not only Lu Guogong panicked, but also Ying Su, who was sipping tea leisurely and calmly, put the tea bowl on the table forcefully, frowning.

Luo Ning took a few breaths and hurriedly explained the cause and effect.

Miss was going to Mu Cangzhai early this morning, she went to the stables to choose a car, and just got into the car with the lady, but the driver said that the horse was not energetic and needed to eat some mint grass, so the lady let her go She picked up two pieces from the backyard, and when she returned to the gate of the mansion, there was no sign of the carriage and the young lady. She asked the guard outside the gate, and only said that the carriage had driven away, but she didn't know where it went.

After hearing this, Lu Jinyan looked anxious. He knew that it was not that simple: "Go and ask everyone in the mansion to look for me, and I will definitely find Fourth Miss!"

Luo Ning was in a hurry to respond, and hurriedly turned around to report to the housekeeper of the Lu residence, and arranged for someone to find the young lady.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the young man who the lady had asked her to hand the note to sit on one side, but right now she couldn't think too much about it, so she just bowed slightly to Ying Su and walked away quickly.

"Ninth Prince, today's disturbance in the mansion is due to poor greetings from the grassroots. I'm afraid I won't have time to drink tea and discuss things with you right now." Lu Jinyan got up and gave a deep salute to Ying Su, with a cloud of worry on his face. Talking and laughing.

"My lord saved the people of Suzhou from fire and water for my father. Now that there is a civil strife at home, my prince is also willing to relieve my lord." Having said that, Yingsu felt turmoil in his heart at this moment.

"Thank you Ninth Prince, today's kindness will be kept in my heart by Duke Lu's family!"

Ying Su only tapped her chin, said nothing more, and led Mo Ya and Fu Yun out of the house.

It's just that this step is much faster than before.

Back in her carriage, Ying Su took out a gold-plated peacock tail hairpin from her bosom, and called out in a deep voice, "Mo Ya."

Mo Ya understood, put two fingers to his lips and whistled secretly.

After a while, a red-breasted robin flew into the carriage and stood on Mo Ya's horizontal finger.

Ying Su held up the sparrow-tail hairpin and placed it in front of the robin's nose.

Unexpectedly, the robin took a few sniffs, stretched its wings and flew back to the street outside.

Seeing it flying towards a certain direction, Mo Ya drove the carriage and followed behind the robin.

This robin is born with a supernatural sense of smell. As long as there is a smell on something, it can find out where the owner of the thing is by just a few sniffs.

The sparrow-tailed hairpin in Ying Su's hand could smell a faint fragrance since the day Ying Su held it, but the fragrance has not faded at all after so many days, it even stained his Confucian shirt with the fragrance.

Fuyun just saw the Zhuchai in his master's hand just now. It was the Zhuchai that fell to the ground when he and his master went to Fengxian Tower at night while changing clothes and bathing for the master. How could it be the fourth lady of Lu Guogong's family? What about things?
He racked his brains and couldn't figure out why.
