Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 5 Fengxian Tower

"Father, what do you think of the current situation of our Duke Lu's Mansion?" Lu Ziyu watched the servants leave the room, glanced at his father's uncertain face, and murmured softly.

Lu Jinyan frowned, his eyes fixed on the red candle on the table of the Eight Immortals, lost in thought.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and sighed softly to express his worries: "Although my Lu family lives comfortably in this small Suzhou city, I am afraid that many prominent families will settle accounts after the new king ascends the throne. After all, the current emperor's throne is Your grandfather was born and died several times in exchange for it, and my Lu Mansion has been honored because of this, but it has also aroused the jealousy of the prominent families in Beijing. Now it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is taking good care of the Duke's Mansion, but after all, it is useless to be a father, not a close minister of the Emperor. .”

Lu Ziyu didn't expect his father to be transparent in his heart. He had already seen that Duke Lu's mansion was alive and dead not long ago, but that's good. If his father had already prepared for the worst in his heart, then what he said next would not disturb him. .

"The daughter was pushed into the water by the maid A Wan and saw the Lu Mansion five years later. Her father was falsely accused of treason, and a group of guards fought in my mansion. My father, mother and brothers died tragically in this courtyard. The people of the nine clans concerned were all put to death. My daughter was only a small concubine in the palace at that time, and she had no chance to ask His Majesty to take back her life. In the end, she drank a glass of poisonous wine and accompanied her parents to the underworld." Lu Ziyu said this As she spoke, she felt pain in her heart, and she knew that this was the pain in Concubine Yu's heart.

After hearing what his daughter said, Lu Jinyan secretly suppressed his shock. He knew that Duke Lu's mansion would not be able to defend himself, but he didn't expect that all the family members died.

"In the dream, can you find the mastermind behind the framing of my house?" Lu Jinyan clenched his robe tightly with both hands, quickly got up and stood in front of the bed, bowed his waist and murmured to Lu Ziyu.

Lu Ziyu shook her little head, thinking that her father didn't blame her for being suspicious, but instead believed that the dream was real, she couldn't help being filled with a sense of trust in her heart, she sat up and grabbed her father's robe with her small hands, lifted Started to stare and said: "It was not drawn out in the dream, so we have to take precautions early."

"Oh? Yu'er has an idea in mind?" Lu Jinyan was amused by his daughter's righteous look, and continued to ask Lu Ziyu if he had a good way to defeat the enemy.

Lu Ziyu waved to his father, motioning for Lu Jinyan to lower his head and listen to him, "Father can tell the three brothers not to stay in the private school together to study, the master taught us to make the best use of everything, the second brother and the third brother are obviously not suitable for studying." , and fall asleep after reciting the Book of Songs every day, it is better to let them do what they want, but they can make a living."

Hearing her daughter's opinion, Lu Jinyan raised her brows slightly, looked at her in surprise, paused for a while, and then laughed loudly, "Haha, I never thought that the fourth lady of my Lu family would become a little counselor, Yu Er Where do you think your second brother and third brother are going to go?"

Lu Ziyu wrinkled his small face, his mouth puffed up, and his eyes kept turning with his little head. After a while, as if he had thought of a good idea, he smiled with pear blossom dimples on his face and said, "Second brother often works in private schools. If you dance with a gun and get a stick, it is better to send it to learn martial arts to show your ambitions. The third brother values ​​the little money in his purse more than his life. If he goes to run the family shop and does not spend three years of money, he will not know that he will be able to make money. several times."

"What about Yu'er, how do you plan to plan a way out for yourself?" Lu Jinyan asked curiously when she heard that her daughter had planned the future of her two sons, but she didn't say what her plan was.

"My daughter doesn't want to tell my father yet. When the time is right, my father will naturally know. I just hope that no matter where my daughter goes or what she studies, father will not ask her?" As soon as Lu Ziyu finished speaking, Lu Jinyan frowned. Lock, looking at himself with guilt.

"My daughter seems to have grown up all of a sudden." Lu Jinyan thought that his official career was not going well, so he could only hide in Suzhou City, and then thought of Lu Ziyu's description of the situation in the Lu Mansion five years later, and felt that he was incompetent and unable to guard the Duke's Mansion He was also ashamed of his grandparents' wives and children, and murmured to himself secretly with his head down.

Seeing his father's sad appearance, Lu Ziyu stretched out his little hand and placed it in Lu Jinyan's slightly rough palm, raised his little head and smiled encouragingly at his father, "If you have experienced life and death once, you will grow up faster. It is not the father's responsibility to guard the Duke's mansion."

"Okay, it's past Haishi and go to bed soon." Lu Jinyan stood up from the bed, rubbed the broken hair on her daughter's forehead pitifully, and stopped disturbing her rest, turned her head and walked out of the house after giving her instructions.

Just half a step out of the door, Lu Jinyan thought of something and suddenly turned around.

"The saint in your dream, isn't it?" Lu Jinyan stepped out of the door of Lanyue Pavilion, and then thought of something and turned around. Before he finished asking, he saw the number on his daughter's finger, and his father immediately The two women tacitly split their teeth.

Seeing Lu Jinyan walk out of Lanyue Pavilion, Lu Ziyu lay down on the bed again and closed his eyes to think.

Since I want to come to the privilege now, I have to make good use of it. If I only study poetry, calligraphy and painting, I can't be a concubine for a lifetime. Since I want to be a cinnabar mole, I need to know something special, so that I can hook the man who ignored me in the previous life. .

In the early morning of the next day, all the maids in Lanyue Pavilion began to clean the yard. Luo Ning led the two big maids to stand at the door of her lady's boudoir holding the toiletries in their hands, and asked softly, knocking on the door. "Miss, are you awake?"

As soon as the words were finished, a muffled groan came from inside the room. Lu Ziyu rubbed his sleepy eyes, and slowly opened his mouth for Luo Ning to come in, "I'm mostly in good health today, and you can go and order the chariots and horses later. , Follow me out of the house."

After listening to his young lady's order, Luo Ning hurriedly lowered his head and responded, handed hot towels from the hands of the two maids behind him to wash the young lady's hands, and brought scented tea for the young lady to rinse her mouth and face.

In fact, Luo Ning also felt strange, it seemed that after falling into the water, the fourth young lady seemed to be more imposing than before, so she was more attentive in serving her than before.

"Miss, what hair style do you want to wear today?" Luo Ning rubbed the sweet-scented osmanthus hair oil in his hands, and gently massaged and wiped Sister Yu's hair with both hands.

"Put a peach blossom bun, take out my veiled lotus root powder fairy dress to match it, and when I go out the door, I will wrap up the pair of emerald jade bracelets in the jewelry box and bring them with me." Lu Ziyu used his delicate little hands With his head propped up, he carefully looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

Although the mirror is blurry, it can be seen that the outline of the girl in the mirror is amazing, especially a dark red cinnabar mole under the corner of the eye. Perhaps the owner of this cinnabar mole is young and has not yet fully grown. But in a few years, I'm afraid it will be extremely glamorous. I don't know who will laugh at this skin in the end?

After half a cup of tea, Lu Ziyu had already packed up and got into the carriage arranged by the mansion.

Because she wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears on this trip, she never had the mansion's flag planted on the carriage, and she just used the most common carriage.

After a while, the car stopped at the gate of Fengxian Tower in Huaxiang.

Speaking of Fengxianlou, it is the number one building where men in Suzhou go to have fun, and the old lady Fengxian in the building is also a celebrity in Suzhou City.

I heard that Lady Fengxian was the person who slept next to Emperor Zhaodi when he traveled south today. Emperor Zhao once wanted to bring Lady Fengxian into the palace, but the Queen strongly opposed it after seeing Lady Fengxian.

Putting it in an ordinary queen is always magnanimous, but Xu Fengxian's lady is actually too beautiful. The queen is also afraid that this kind of woman will turn the palace upside down if she enters the palace, and I am afraid that she will not even be able to keep her own status and dignity in the end. That's why she was dead and forced to prevent the Fengxian lady from entering the palace.

Later, I heard that there was a wealthy businessman in Suzhou who vowed to marry Fengxian lady. He slept in this Fengxian lady's bed that night, but he was executed by the Suzhou government master for selling illegal salt when he got up the next day.

At night, the official master of Suzhou went to the Fengxian Tower and the beautiful Fengxian lady. They were very happy, but these were the after-dinner tea entertainment of the local people in Suzhou City. Who knows who this Fengxian lady is? .

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Fengxian Tower, a graceful lady wearing a green aviary inner shirt and a white veil opened the door, walked down slowly from the steps of Fengxian Tower, and faced the people in the carriage. Said softly, "Guest officer, it's so early, but my place has always been singing every night, and I have never been promiscuous in the daytime. The guest officer is afraid that the trip will be in vain. Why don't you go to the private room in the building to rest with Wanniang, and stay in the evening." Let’s play in Sasa, okay?”

As soon as Wanniang finished speaking, Luo Ning waved to the coachman to bring the wooden bench, opened the curtain and shouted respectfully into the car, "Miss, we're here."

When this Wanniang heard the word "Miss", her almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, curiosity and exploration flashed in her eyes, but after all, she was from Fengxianlou, and she saw many strange people and things every day. As soon as he regained his composure, he saw a pair of plain white wrists exposed. Looking up, a delicate and lovely girl got off the carriage.

If it was a little girl from an ordinary family, I am afraid that when passing by here, she would cover her face and run away in embarrassment, but the girl in front of Wanniang was a pillar of the Miusi bar in her previous life, and she would have returned to this place when she came to the brothel. Just like her hometown, she looked at Wanniang who looked surprised with a smile on her cheeks calmly.

"I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place, girl? I'm not the place where dolls come from?" Wanniang saw that the one who got out of the car was a seven or eight-year-old doll with a delicate face, and she was surprised. He quickly regained his composure, supported Zhu Chai on his head, held a silk handkerchief to his lips with plain hands, and chuckled lightly.

"Of course I'm not here to have fun, I'm here to learn from a teacher!" Lu Ziyu raised his phoenix eyes slightly when he heard Wanniang's words, and glanced at Wanniang with his slender eyes. With a shiver, he revealed the purpose of coming to Fengxian Tower.
