Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 140 Variables (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Ankangbo Mansion.

In Huanxiyuan, four people left at once, a little too busy.

Xiao He is young, sweet-mouthed and good-natured, and Lu Xinyan is doting, everyone doesn't order her very much, they just let her do the easiest work.

Seeing that it was almost noon, and Madam Cheng who usually went to the kitchen to get lunch was still busy, Xiao He took the initiative and said, "Aunt Cheng, I'll go to the kitchen to get lunch."

If Lu Xinyan is in the mansion, the small kitchen of Huanxiyuan will be open. If she is not there, Madam Cheng will be busy cleaning the kitchen utensils in the small kitchen, and usually do not open the fire.

Today, she took advantage of Lu Xinyan to go out to clean the small kitchen.

Looking at the sky and the half-done work in hand, Madam Cheng said, "Go, be careful, and walk around when you meet the second and third misses."

"Got it, Aunt Cheng."

Xiaohe happily left the Huanxiyuan.

Although Lu Xinyan didn't let her go out of the Huanxiyuan alone, but when she was free, she would take her for a stroll around the mansion to let her familiarize herself with the terrain of the mansion, so that she would not be able to tell the difference between south, east and north if something happened. Xiao He is still very familiar with most of the roads in the mansion.

She had just arrived at the kitchen and when she found the case belonging to Huanxiyuan, suddenly a strange boy came in, with his chin raised high, he looked at the greasy-faced and strong cooks in the kitchen, and finally looked at him. Locked on the clean and refreshing Xiao He, "You, come here!"

Xiao He saw that everyone was looking at her, turned her head, and then pointed at herself, "Call me?"

"That's right, I called you, come here!" The servant said impatiently.

"What's the matter?" Xiao He stood still.

Seeing that he couldn't even move the little maid in the kitchen, the boy was annoyed, "Here's an address, go get wine for my young master, my young master wants to entertain distinguished guests!"

Xiao He asked curiously: "Your young master? Who is it?"

"Your uncle's second brother's eldest son!" the servant said proudly.

If Lu Congguang took over the position of Qingzhou Tongzhi, he would be a fifth-rank official, even higher than Lu Congyuan in terms of official position!Therefore, the servants who came with Lu Congguang and his son felt that they were superior to the servants of Ankangbo Mansion.

"Oh, so it's a relative from the uncle's house who came last night." Xiao He suddenly made a big mistake.

The servant snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "It's good to know! Go get the wine quickly, the guests invited by the young master are coming soon, the young master wine in this mansion doesn't like it, when I came yesterday, I ordered the best wine in Qingjiuju , you go get it right away!"

Although Lu Xinyan and the people in Huanxiyuan were very good at controlling Xiao He, and no one had ever manipulated her when she was in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, Xiao He was not so naive as to think that she could only be manipulated by Lu Xinyan alone.

"Little brother, I'm a maid from the Huanxiyuan. I'm here to pick up lunch. The aunts and sisters in the yard are waiting for lunch. Why don't you let me take it back to the yard first and then help you get the wine?"

She is cute, and although the young servant has eyes on the top of his head, he is not very old. Seeing Xiao He talking to him so softly, the pride of being superior has dissipated a lot unconsciously. Originally, the people around Lu Ziwen arranged for him He was too lazy to go to get the wine, and wanted to show his prestige, so he directed his idea to the servants of the uncle's mansion.

"I'll help you send it together." The boy said.

"Thank you, little brother." Xiao He smiled sweetly, making the servant's ears blush.

Back in the Huanxiyuan, Xiaohe didn't care about cooking, so she went directly to the front yard to find Jun Wu to accompany her out.

Lu Xinyan asked Uncle Tian to send Jun Wu Ziyan and Xia Zhi Xingluo to protect her and the people in the Huanxiyuan. If she was not there, anyone who wanted to go out or was instigated by other people in the mansion would let the four in the mansion One of the people will accompany you out to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Jun Wu had just finished his meal, Lai Bo Mansion has been fine and boring these days, when Xiao He said it, he immediately went out with her.

Lu Xinyan has a special carriage, and anyone from Huanxiyuan can take it when they go out.

Jun Wu then acted as a coachman, and took Xiao He to the sake house to get wine.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, Jun Wu jumped out first, walked to the back and was about to lift the curtain to help Xiao He down, but saw the little girl recklessly about to jump down.

"Be careful!" He quickly reached out to support her.

"Thank you Uncle Junwu." Xiao He stuck out her tongue playfully.

Jun Wu's face twitched, this little girl is really familiar.

It was time for meals, and there were not many customers in the sake house, so Xiao He took out the list and got the wine smoothly.

Of course, you don't have to carry wine.

After the two came out, Xiao He sharply saw Zhucuifang not far away, a familiar dark blue figure flashed past, and immediately ran and said: "Uncle Junwu, you wait for me here!"

She ran in a hurry, turned her head to talk to Jun Wu, and almost bumped into someone.

Oh, this rash little girl!Jun Wu could see her heart beating, afraid that she would bump into someone, or be hit by someone!

She secretly guessed in her heart that since she was a child, her parents must have worried enough!

Xiao He ran into Zhucuifang, looking for that familiar dark blue figure, but she couldn't find anyone after looking for a long time, when she was about to leave disappointed, she saw Wu Yuan walking down from the second floor.

"Elder Prince!" Xiao He shouted happily.

Because of running, there was a trace of blush on her face, and her clean and pure eyes looked at Wuyuan brightly, as if seeing a pile of sparkling gems.

Is he so good in her heart?Wu Yuan was surprised at first, then walked up to her with a smile, "Xiao He, why are you here? Did you come with your young lady?"

He looked around, "Why don't you see anyone and leave you here alone?"

"Miss went out to run some errands, so she didn't bring me along. There was a banquet in the manor this afternoon, and I came out to get the wine." Xiao He smiled and said, "I got the wine out just now, and when I saw you come in here, the First Prince, I came over to meet you." You say hello."

"Get wine?" Wu Yuan was stunned, "There are no wine sellers around here."

"Get the wine at Sake House." Xiao He pointed out, "It's over there."

Sake House is about 50 meters away from here. Although it is not far away, it is still difficult to see and recognize a person through the crowd of people coming and going.

"You have really nice eyes." Wuyuan smiled a little complicated.

"That's right! Thank you, First Prince, for your compliment." Xiao He was satisfied when she saw him, "Prince, the wine house is in a hurry, so I'll go back first."

"Oh, by the way, since Ah Xin met you that day, she has been thinking about seeing you again, when are you free?" Wu Yuan asked.

"Miss has something to do these two days, so I don't need to take care of you, can you do it tomorrow?" Going to the eldest prince's mansion, not only can see the kind concubine sister, but also the eldest prince, Xiao He is very happy.

"You are very courageous." Seeing that she has no fear of going to a strange place, Wu Yuan smiled, "I am not afraid of going to the First Prince's Mansion, Ah Xin and I will sell you."

Xiao He smiled and said: "The eldest prince and the concubine's sister are good people, I'm not afraid."

"Tomorrow then." Wu Yuan said: "But this is a private meeting, I don't want to disturb the uncle's residence, you go to Yuan Street and wait, I will send someone there to pick you up."

"Don't bother me, I'll go in Miss's carriage." Xiao He pointed out again, pointing at Jun Wudao: "I'll ask Uncle Jun Wu to take me there."

At this time, Jun Wu saw that she was talking so happily with a strange man, cracks appeared on her usually stern face, little girl, at such a young age, she actually chased after him when she saw a man?What a worry!

He was gritting his teeth and shaking his head when Xiao He suddenly stretched out his hand and waved to him with a smile.

Jun Wu was speechless for a moment, really heartless!
-

After Lu Xinyan left Xiangmanlou, she went to Suyifang, intending to see if the things she asked Ye Shuang to make a few days ago were ready.

From here to Suyifang, there is a shortcut, but the alley is relatively narrow, and horse-drawn carriages cannot pass through.

Lu Xinyan and Qingtong got out of the car and walked forward.

Turning out of the alley is a jewelry store. I just passed by when I suddenly heard a young man shouting from behind: "Miss in the brown dress in front, did you drop this thing?"

Lu Xinyan didn't think she was called at first, and she didn't turn her head back. Xing Luo beside her asked, "Miss, did you drop something?"

Only then did she look at herself, and then at the pedestrians nearby. She seemed to be the only one in brown.

Lu Xinyan touched the sachet and money bag, but she didn't find anything missing, so she turned around to see if the thing the man picked up was her own.

Turning around, I heard the exaggerated voice of the other party: "Big cousin? Why are you? What a coincidence!"

Big cousin?Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the person coming.

About seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a cyan robe, with a handsome face, tall and thin, with a bit of a scholarly look.

Lu Xinyan looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Lu Xinyan said, "I don't know you."

"I'm cousin Ruixiang, cousin Zhang Ruixiang." Zhang Ruixiang said a little disappointed.

Zhang Ruixiang?After searching in her mind for a while, Lu Xinyan remembered who it was.

The eldest son of Xiao Gao's grandmother's eldest cousin, because he and Gao's family are related by marriage, and they are all in the capital, during the festivals, even though Xiao Gao is an aunt, they still have some contacts.

When Lu Xinyan was around, Zhang Ruixiang came with his father to pay New Year's greetings and met several times, but that was all three years ago.

"Mr. Zhang has really good eyes. I haven't seen him for several years, but I can recognize him at a glance." Lu Xinyan taunted with a half-smile. As for the cousin, cut, Xiao Gao's relatives have half a dime relationship with her!
Zhang Ruixiang seemed a little embarrassed, and his face was stained with red, "Although I rarely see my first cousin, I have seen my second and third cousins ​​more often. The first cousin is similar to the second and third cousins, so I recognized it at a glance. "

Lu Xinyan was noncommittal, and looked at the sachet in Zhang Ruixiang's hand, "Mr. Zhang, the sachet in your hand is not mine, please leave."

"Big cousin, go slowly. I just saw this on the ground after you passed by. I thought it was yours, but I was rude." Zhang Ruixiang took back the sachet, shyly, "We haven't seen each other for a few years, it's rare We met on the street so coincidentally, I would like to invite my cousin to drink tea together, what do you think, cousin?"

Before Lu Xinyan could refuse, a monstrous voice sounded, "It's not good, because Miss Lu has already asked me out."

Several people looked around, and saw Gongsun Mobai wearing a dazzling red dress, coming from the winter sun, his hair fluttering, his robes fluttering, he was so handsome, he was even more dazzling than the sun.

When Gongsun Mobai appeared, Zhang Ruixiang, who was originally quite gentle and delicate, was immediately set off as a withered grass.

A strong sense of inferiority came out involuntarily, Zhang Ruixiang resisted the urge to run away, "Big cousin, this is..."

Gongsun Mobai lazily said: "With your identity, you are not worthy of knowing who this young master is."

This guy is arrogant!But I can't blame him for his arrogance. Apart from the few princes in Beijing, Gongsun Mobai is also someone who can walk sideways.

The sense of humiliation rushed straight to the top of his head, Zhang Ruixiang couldn't help but glance at Lu Xinyan, but saw that Lu Xinyan was watching all this with great interest, and had no intention of helping him at all.

Zhang Ruixiang's face was flushed, "Big cousin, since you have an appointment, I'll take my leave first. I'll go to visit my cousin at the uncle's mansion in a few days, and see you then."

He bowed his head and hurried away after speaking.

"Miss Lu, you are so kind-hearted, any cat or dog can come up and strike up a conversation with you." As soon as Gongsun Mobai complained intentionally, Zhang Ruixiang slipped on his feet and walked even faster.

Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Young Master Gongsun, it seems that I have seen you quite frequently recently."

"Is there?" Gongsun Mobai blinked his peachy eyes, "It's probably because you go out a lot. You used to be a married woman, but now you're free and can walk around freely, but I'm just an idler, Yichen and My cousin went to join the army, and no one was with me, so I had to wander around every day. If Miss Lu often goes out in the future, she will meet me more often."

Lu Xinyan nodded, "Mr. Gongsun continues to wander, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

"Hey, at least I helped you out of the siege twice. Don't you plan to express your gratitude to me?" Gongsun Mobai shouted dissatisfiedly from behind.

Lu Xinyan stood still, "Mr. Gongsun lacks something, I'll have someone buy it for you as a thank you gift."

"I made it clear just now that I need someone to accompany me!"

Lu Xinyan slightly raised the corners of her lips, "That's it, Qingtong, go to the mandarin duck building tomorrow, pick two clean and stunning girls, and send them to Gongsun Gongzi's house regardless of the price."

Before Qingtong could respond, Gongsun Mobai roared angrily: "Lu Xinyan!"

"If Mr. Gongsun is not satisfied, I really can't help it." Lu Xinyan spread her hands to express her helplessness.

"You damn girl, can't you talk to me?" Gongsun Mobai said angrily. Seeing a flash of ridicule on Lu Xin's face, he quickly explained, "Yichen and his cousin are going to the southwest so dangerously. I don't know what's going on now, I'm worried, and I don't know who to tell, at least you know the two of them, so you can chat with me."

Lu Xinyan was stunned, and suddenly a feeling of uneasiness came to her heart. When Xiao Yichen told her on the night of her birthday, she was so confident that she mistakenly thought that the Southwest March was within easy reach. Later, when Uncle Tian inquired, she found out that he originally asked for reinforcements. The strength of the army has been reduced by more than half, and it is dangerous to go to the southwest.

It has been more than 20 days now, and I don't know what the situation is. "There is no news, but it is good news." She said this, comforting Gongsun Mobai, but also comforting herself.

"I can only think like this." Gongsun Mobai sighed, "If something happens to my cousin, I really don't know what will happen to my aunt."

If something happened to Li Yu, what would happen to Fourth Aunt?If something happened to Xiao Yichen, I don't know if she would become... Bah, bah, crow's mouth!Lu Xinyan scolded herself in her heart, that guy is so powerful, he will definitely not let her have trouble, and what does his trouble have to do with her?
Lu Xinyan shook her head and pushed these thoughts out of her mind, "I believe they will be fine! Mr. Gongsun, I have something to do these few days, how about I make an appointment with you in a few days?"

Gongsun Mobai was overjoyed at this moment, his brows brightened, "That's the deal~"

It was the first time for Lu Xinyan to come to Suyifang, but Ye Shuang had already told the staff that when she came, the eye-catching staff led her to Ye Shuang's alone room.

"Zhuzhu, you're here." Ye Shuang smiled all over her face, and a gleam of light flashed in her wise eyes.

"Aunt Ye, how is business doing recently?"

"I'm doing the accounting!" Ye Shuang beckoned her to sit down, pointing to the pile of account books on the table, "Last month, I've already done the calculation for a long time today, and I've only calculated one-third of it. , I'm about to become Mr. Accountant."

Her tone sounded like she was complaining, but she had a smile on her face, and she was both in pain and happy.

Lu Xinyan didn't expose her, "Haven't you hired a suitable accountant yet?"

"Originally, I hired one. A few days ago, the accountant at the Su Dyeing Workshop asked me to leave and return to my hometown, so I transferred him. I'm recruiting these few days. It's the end of the year, so I guess it will be slower."

"If Aunt Ye is too busy, you can call me to help."

"That's not necessary." Lu Xinyan doesn't even start with so many properties under her own hands. How dare this small Suyi workshop invite her to drive her? Busy day."

"Aunt Ye has any problems at that time, just let me know. Anyway, I am also one of the partners. I can't just draw pictures and wait for the cash to be collected." Lu Xinyan said: "If you can't find a suitable accountant by the end of this month, I will ask Mr. Li to spare someone Come out and help."

This method is more practical, Ye Shuang said with a smile: "Then thank you Zhuzhu first! By the way, you came to see what I helped you make last time, and you won't be back until tomorrow."

"It's not in a hurry, I'm doing business nearby, so stop by and have a look."

After the two chatted for a while, Lu Xinyan stood up and said goodbye, "Aunt Ye, you go ahead and I'll come back tomorrow."

"I'll see you off." Ye Shuang stood up, Lu Xinyan didn't refuse, and they parted in front of Suyifang.

Early the next morning, Lu Xinyan had just finished washing and was about to have breakfast when there was a knock on the door.

Lu Xinyan looked up and saw Xiao He leaning out half of her body, smiling flatteringly at her.

It's rare to see this girl not bluffing, Lu Xinyan guessed that she must have something to ask, "Xiao He, what's the matter?"

"Miss, can I do you a favor?" Xiao He blinked her eyes.

Lu Xinyan lowered her head and took a sip of the porridge. The porridge was very thick, warm, not hot and warm to the stomach, "Let's talk."

Xiao He took out several sets of clothes from behind, "Miss, help me choose, which one will look best on me?"

Lu Xinyan didn't raise her head, and said perfunctorily, "Our little He looks good in anything!"

"Miss, don't bring such ones~" Xiao He twisted her body and refused.

Lu Xinyan couldn't help chuckling, and said compassionately: "Okay, bring it in, I'll help you pick one."

"Miss Xie!" Xiao He stuck out her tongue happily, came in bouncingly, and put the clothes on the Luohan couch, "Miss, eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

She said she was not in a hurry, but stood beside Lu Xinyan, looking at her eagerly.

In this situation, where can Lu Xinyan eat?I had no choice but to drink more than half a bowl of porridge, and after eating two steamed buns, I said, "Go and make gestures on your body."

Xiao He smiled happily, and bounced over to compare the clothes to her body one by one.

Lu Xinyan looked at it seriously, "That embarrassing one just happened to be a new dress made a few days ago, it's not impolite to be a guest at the First Prince's Mansion."

"I'll listen to Miss." After Xiao He finished speaking, she looked eagerly at Lu Xinyan, rubbing one foot back and forth on the ground, "Miss, I have another request..."

"You want me to help you dress up?" Lu Xinyan saw right through her.

Xiao He frowned, and said flatteringly: "Miss, you are really amazing!"

The point is, you little girl has all your thoughts on your face, no one can guess!
"Come here." Lu Xinyan waved to her, letting her sit on the rose chair in front of the dressing table.

After Xiao He sat down, Lu Xinyan began to pat her face with homemade toner. Seeing that Xiao He's eyes were tightly closed in cooperation, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and she looked forward to everything that came next. She pretended not to ask: "Xiao He , do you like the eldest prince and the eldest concubine?"

"Like it!"

Lu Xinyan's eyes flickered slightly, "Do you also like the First Prince? She is not like the First Prince who saved your life, and you only met this time!"

The excitement on Xiaohe's face faded a bit, "I think Sister Huangfei is so gentle. When she holds my hand, it's like my mother holding my hand. It's very comfortable and warm! She is not in good health. She smells like medicine and has such a good husband as the eldest prince, she should be very happy, but she has to suffer from illness, I think she is so pitiful!"

Lu Xinyan tried again, "Xiao He, don't you like the eldest prince? If you like something, it stands to reason that you would want to occupy it."

"Aniang said, you should share what you like! And I like too much, wouldn't it be greedy if I took all of them?" Xiao He said.

In fact, she still had a few words in her heart, how could she have the right to occupy such a good person as the First Prince?It is enough for her to like everyone around him and everyone he likes.It's like Sister Huangfei, she likes her very much, but the important thing is that she likes her even more because she is the eldest prince's concubine.

Lu Xinyan was originally worried that Xiao He's first love would develop feelings for Wu Yuan who had saved her life, but now that she heard her say that, she was half relieved.

This girl, I'm afraid she hasn't enlightened yet!

Lu Xinyan had a good impression of Wu Yuan, but she didn't want Xiao He to be a concubine. With Xiao He's temperament, she could only find someone who loved her and loved her, who knew how to appreciate her innocence. Suitable for Xiaohe.

Lu Xinyan calmed down, and simply painted Xiaohe's eyebrows and put on pink lip balm. Xiaohe's youthful foundation was good, and with a little modification, the youth and beauty of a girl came over her face.

Looking at the little lotus that was budding like a flower, Lu Xinyan couldn't help feeling that there was a girl in my family who had just grown up.

"Okay, Xiao He, you can open your eyes now."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao He, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, opened her eyes quickly, and saw a brand new self in the bronze mirror, with a smile rippling from the corners of her eyebrows, eyes and lips.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Xiao He held the mirror happily, reluctant to let go, and looked at the lovely person inside narcissistically.

"Xiao He, it's time to change clothes and go out." It wasn't until Lu Xinyan urged her that she reluctantly put down the mirror, took the clothes and went out.

Half an hour later, Lu Xinyan took Qingtong and the others out of the house. She said yesterday that Ziyan was going to pay the money and receive the goods, and she happened to be going to the Suyifang, so Lu Xinyan decided to go there by herself.

When Lu Xinyan arrived, it was two quarters of an hour earlier than the scheduled time. When the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou saw her, he laughed so hard that the spring breeze was rippling. The head of the house has asked the little one to prepare it in advance, it's still yesterday's room, and the little one will take you up immediately."

He was not young, his smile and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could kill a fly, but this did not prevent him from continuing to laugh and tremble.

After the pedestrians left yesterday, Uber immediately gathered everyone in the store together and warned them severely. When they see Miss Lu from the Ankangbo Mansion in the future, they will show their tricks and serve them attentively. If anyone offends someone, Get out immediately, don't get him and Xiang Manlou in trouble.

Lu Xinyan was terrified by the shopkeeper's smile, and said kindly, "Thank you shopkeeper."

As soon as the few people entered the private room and sat down, tea and snacks were immediately brought to them. They were all the best and most expensive signs in Xiangmanlou.

The shopkeeper said flatteringly: "Miss Lu, just order anything else you need. The head of the family has explained that it is our blessing to be able to come, Miss Lu. No one else can ask for it, so no matter what you eat or drink, Always free!"

This Uber guest can be a man!Lu Xinyan twitched her eyebrows, "That's enough for now, shopkeeper, go and do your work first, and I'll call you again if necessary."

"Then miss Lu take it easy, everyone take it easy, the younger ones go down first."

After the shopkeeper nodded and left, Bai Zhi checked that there was no problem with the snacks and tea, and they sat down to eat and wait.

It happened that Lu Xinyan was half full in the morning because of Xiao He, and now she began to eat unceremoniously.

When it was the appointed time, Yu Boke still hadn't seen him, so Qingtong couldn't hold back, "Miss, that You Da is really a master, but he was late for an appointment, it seems that he was not taught enough lessons yesterday!"

Lu Xinyan said: "Maybe something happened on the way here, just wait."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no sign. Qingtong had a vague feeling of bad premonition, "Then Master Youda won't be so bold as to let our pigeons go?"

Lu Xinyan frowned, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Based on yesterday and today's situation, it doesn't look like..."

Qingtong couldn't wait, stood up, "I'll go out and have a look."

After a while, Uber hadn't come yet, but Qingtong came back, and she had a very ugly expression on her face, "Miss, we may have been tricked by You Da! There is no sign of him for miles around!"

How dare you play tricks on her?It seems that I was too soft-hearted yesterday!Lu Xinyan snorted coldly, "Go and see Madam Jinfeng! Xingluo, you go and inform Uncle Tian, ​​and ask him to send someone to investigate at the city gate."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xingluo went to find Uncle Tian, ​​while Lu Xinyan took Qingtong and Baizhi to Jinfeng's house quickly.

The place was full of people at the moment, crowds of people crowded the alleys and streets so that the carriage couldn't get in, so Lu Xinyan and the others got out of the carriage outside the crowd.

People from outside squeezed in one after another, but there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze in at all. Lu Xinyan caught one who squeezed out, "Ma'am, what happened inside?"

The aunt was full of gossip and wanted to talk to someone, when Lu Xinyan asked, she immediately said: "I heard that the man from the family ran away, and some outsiders were crying and shouting in front of the house, saying they wanted to settle accounts with the people inside! That house The door is closed tightly and cannot be opened alive. Those women are preparing poisonous scissors and white silk outside. They say that if the people inside don't come out, they will die in front of the door and become ghosts, looking for the people inside every night. Settle the bill! But I see, those women are probably just talking for fun. The scissors are far away from the mouth, and they are held backwards. Hedinghong, to me, is nothing more than white flour, pure nonsense..."

The aunt chattered on and on, telling most of what she saw and what she guessed in one breath. Lu Xinyan listened to the general idea, and seeing the aunt's talk went further and further away, said: "Thank you, aunt, I have to leave beforehand."

"Hey, I haven't finished yet!"

With this yell, someone immediately filled Lu Xinyan's vacancy, and asked curiously: "Is there anything else you haven't said, let's hear it quickly."

Immediately, the aunt regained her spirits, and started talking again from the beginning of what she had just said...

It was really tricked by Uber!Lu Xin's face turned livid, "Ziyan, go inside to check the situation."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Miss, do you think Master Youda really ran away?" Qingtong really wanted to go and see for herself, but Lu Xinyan let Ziyan go, so she had to stay in the carriage.

Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and said, "We'll talk about everything when Ziyan comes back."

Ziyan came back soon, holding a letter in his hand, which was written by Miss Lu personally, "Miss, the house is empty and there is no one. I found it on the table in Mrs. Jinfeng's room. this letter."

Bai Zhi took it and smelled it, took out the letter inside, and after confirming that it was correct, handed it to Lu Xinyan.

I saw that the letter read: Miss Lu, I'm really sorry, it's not me, Lu Boke, who wants to let you go. In fact, the opponent I met this time, I can't even compare with a finger!If I offend you, Miss Lu, I can still leave a cheap life, but if I offend that person, my cheap life will have to go to see the King of Hades immediately. Yesterday, you just let someone teach you a lesson for those twenty or so brothers. If there is a disagreement, they will directly order to kill them all!One kill!I, Lu Boke, love money and cherish life even more, so I have no choice but to break the contract and sell them all to the other party. Please Miss Lu, don’t embarrass my other brothers in Beijing. Xiangmanlou will be my apology for breaking the contract, and I will meet you later Someone delivered the deed to you!If there are no accidents in this capital, I will not come again for at least five years. I wish Miss Lu smooth sailing and a bright future.Sincerely, Lu (You) Berke.

After Lu Xinyan finished reading it, Qingtong and the others took it one by one and read it, "Miss, is the person mentioned in the letter from Master You Da the same as the person you secretly kept before?"

"Ninety-nine are close to ten." Lu Xinyan narrowed her eyes slightly, with a dangerous light in her eyes, "Two managers in the leather goods store have been in contact with Uber customers one after another, and there have been accidents at home. Thinking about it, I was still cut off halfway!"

Qingtong said angrily: "Those people are too much! If you want to rob, why don't you rob it sooner? It's really disgusting that we have to spend a lot of effort to rob it!"

Lu Xinyan said: "If you have never owned or are about to own something, you will not feel regretful and angry when you lose it, but on the contrary, if you are about to get something that you have longed for for a long time, if someone suddenly snatches it away, you will definitely be very angry! The other party intentionally When I negotiate the terms with Uber, I will take the goods away at the final transaction, just to avenge the last grain sale!"

"Miss is right. The other party just wants us to be angry. At this time, we can't be angry." Bai Zhi said.

"That's what I said, but I'm really aggrieved." Qingtong gritted her teeth, "If I know who it is, I'll beat you up hard."

"Ziyan, go to Suyifang." Lu Xinyan ordered.

Qingtong stared, "Miss, let's leave this matter alone? Just let them go like this?"

Bai Zhi said: "The goods have been taken away, and they can't be snatched back. If you are angry, you will fall into the other party's way."

She glanced at Lu Xinyan cautiously, and seeing Lu Xinyan's eyes flickering, she was clearly planning something in her heart, so she asked, "Miss, what shall we do next?"

Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes were shining with the light of battle, "Since the other party has declared war, there is no reason to lose without fighting!"

-

After stopping in the alley yesterday, Lu Xinyan and the others walked through the alley, passed a jewelry shop, and headed for Suyifang.

Just after passing the jewelry store, a strange voice came from behind, "Big cousin."

No one cares, move on.

"The eldest cousin of Ankangbo Mansion."

This indicated the Dao's surname, and Lu Xin couldn't help but stop, only to see a man in a brocade suit and jade robe running over from the opposite street, panting.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bright smile and white teeth shining in the sun.

Seeing Lu Xinyan looking at him strangely, he took the initiative to explain, "Big cousin, I'm cousin Wang Lin, and your grandmother is my cousin and grandmother."

Hehe, it turned out to be the grandson of Gao's grandmother's cousin, and he had seen it twice.

These two so-called cousins ​​suddenly ran into her one after another, which is quite subtle when you think about it.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Lu Xinyan said calmly.

Wang Lin grinned and said, "It's like this. I'm going to visit my cousin and grandmother in two days, and I want to choose two kinds of jewelry as gifts for her, but I'm a big man, and I don't understand women's things, so I'm having a headache. I just happened to see my eldest cousin passing by, and I wanted to ask her if she was free to help me with the details."

"Since Mr. Wang was bought to honor his grandmother, let me help you palm your eyes." Lu Xinyan did not refuse, "Mr. Wang, please."

Wang Lin was overjoyed, "Big cousin, please."

Several people approached the jewelry store, and immediately a clerk came forward with a smile on his face. Lu Xinyan said to Qingtong Baizhi: "You guys also have a look."

With the advice of his buddy, Wang Lin picked out a few mid-priced styles, and asked Lu Xinyan for his opinion one by one, and Lu Xinyan gave her suggestions seriously.

In the end, Wang Lin bought two of them out of pocket, and smiled gratefully: "Today, my cousin helped me so much. To express my gratitude, my cousin will choose two of the jewelry in this store at will, as a thank you gift."

Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Really? Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Turning to the clerk, he said, "Take out the most expensive jewelry in your store."

Wang Lin's smiling face immediately froze.

The man saw that the other party was well dressed, so he immediately went to pick it up happily.

The most expensive item in this store is a set of sapphire head masks, which is said to have been worn by Empress Yucheng in the previous dynasty, worth 1000 taels.

Lu Xinyan carefully looked at the handmade design and the luster of sapphire, and kept nodding, "Not bad, is there anything else?"

The buddy became more energetic when he saw the show, "Yes!" Wang Lin, who was completely ignoring him, began to wipe his sweat.

Hurray, a dozen more items were brought in at once, including a gold inlaid jade inlaid ruby ​​bracelet, and a transparent and moist white jade hairpin, each worth at least a hundred taels.

Sweat dripped from Wang Lin's forehead. Although his family was in a good position, he could afford to give a gift of more than a dozen taels, but this move cost hundreds of taels. How could he be from a small rich family like him? able to afford.

"Big cousin," Wang Lin said bravely, "I just remembered something..."

"The prince has something to go! Then don't delay the prince, Qingtong Baizhi, don't choose, just bring the one you fancy just now to pay the bill!"

"Yes, miss." Qingtong Baizhi saw that Lu Xinyan was deliberately teasing Wang Lin, and quickly picked out a few pieces of jewelry that she had just seen, then saluted with a smile, Qi Qi crisply said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

"No, no, that's not what I meant..." Wang Lin waved his hands again and again. In order to make a good impression on the encounter today, he deliberately brought 20 taels of silver with him. He spent eight taels of silver on the gift for Gao Shi, and now he has 12 taels left. Two, thinking that it would be enough to buy something good for Lu Xinyan, but Lu Xinyan opened her mouth and wanted to buy the most expensive jewelry in the store!

Lu Xinyan pretended not to hear, and said directly: "Man, how much money is it in total?"

The man looked at this posture and understood that the two of them, one wanted to be rich, and the other deliberately made him lose face. He felt that this business was probably lost, and said lazily: "The total is 750 taels, since the customer buys so many copies at one time. Come on, I charge you 700 taels."

Wang Lin's face turned purple, and he stood there holding the purse containing 12 taels of silver, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and get in!
Lu Xinyan didn't even look at her, took out a few large banknotes from her sleeve, and took out 700 taels, which was originally prepared to pay Uber's leather goods, "wrap it up, and send it to Ankangbo Mansion Huanxiyuan. "

The guy was overjoyed, his face flushed with excitement, "Yes, Miss, I will deliver it to you personally!"

Wang Lin stared dumbfounded at Lu Xinyan handing out the bank note, and watched the clerk happily pack up the jewelry carefully and prepare to send it to Uncle Ankang's mansion.

When Lu Xinyan lifted her foot to leave, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, Mr. Wang, didn't you say you have something important to do? Why are you still here?"

Wang Lin was hot from head to toe, his whole face was flushed, "Farewell." After speaking, he ran away as if being chased by a wild animal.

"Hahaha, miss, you are too bad." Qingtong laughed loudly, "that prince is too funny, he doesn't even look at what he is, he dares to be rich in front of the lady, he deserves to be ashamed!"

"Miss, I just picked those at random, let's quit." Bai Zhi said.

Lu Xinyan waved her hand, "I will keep the two sets of hair masks and bracelets for my grandmother, my fourth aunt, and my new aunt, and the two hairpins are going to be given to Princess Chang'an and Qing Ruo, and the rest, you and Madam Lu and Madam Cheng Mo Xiaohe and the others are divided, including Uncle Tian, ​​Yan Junwu, everyone has a share, and it is the hard work of these days."

Aunt Xin refers to Feng's daughter-in-law, the wife of her biological son Yuan Cheng.

Qingtong said happily: "Thank you miss."

After leaving the jewelry workshop, Lu Xinyan and the others walked along the street to Suyifang. The business in the store was very good. Lu Xinyan asked the staff to greet the customers, and went upstairs to find Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang was holding the thing that Lu Xinyan asked her to make, looking left and right, unable to put it down.

It was the gift that Lu Xinyan promised to give to Yan Qingruo earlier.

Hearing the noise at the door, he looked up and saw Lu Xinyan, and asked directly: "Zhuzhu, this thing is really ingenious, can it be mass-produced and sold in the store?"

Ye Shuang is now focusing on the business of Suyifang, and whenever she sees something novel, she wants to sell it in the store.

Of course, the main reason is that she has confidence in what Lu Xinyan designed!

The two had a secret chat for a while. After Lu Xinyan drew more than a dozen pictures, she said, "Aunt Ye, I won't be here for a while. Just send someone to notify me on the day it's finished."

-

A house in the capital.

Xu Dongcai couldn't restrain the joy on his face, and lightly knocked on the door with a happy face.

"Come in." A gentle yet majestic male voice sounded.

Xu Dongcai said loudly: "Master, the leather goods are all settled! The goods were put into storage this morning, and Lu Xinyan just went to Uber's outer house, and she already knew about it. At that time, she quickly got into the carriage, and none of her subordinates looked at it. I can see her expression, but just now someone saw her spending more than 1000 taels of silver on jewelry, so she must be in a very bad mood!"

"Hahahaha, good, great!" The man behind the screen suddenly felt refreshed, and the depression caused by the food business was swept away, "Dongcai, this time things are done very well! Stay by my son's side and make suggestions for this son, after the matter is completed, the wealth of your Xu family will be indispensable!"

"Thank you master!" Xu Dongcai was very excited, thinking that the Xu family in the near future would be prosperous in the near future!
"In the coming days, send someone to watch over Lu Xinyan and her fur shop, in case she fights back." The man snorted, "This time, even if she fights back, she must be killed in the cradle first!"

"Yes, Master!"
