Chapter 18 Mrs. Lu

Chapter 18 Mrs. Lu

From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Lu Mingxuan was also keeping her eyes fixed on her like herself, and she wasn't as rare as the two girls. Lu Mingfu was relieved a little. Fortunately, her sister was still calm and like everyone else. It's not a big deal if you can't get on the stage, and it's not a big deal for others to talk about it, otherwise today you will be really ashamed and ashamed!

How did Lu Mingfu know that Lu Mingxuan actually didn't deserve her praise of "being calm and like everyone else". In fact, from the moment she got off her own carriage and stepped on the first step of the Duke's mansion, Lu Mingxuan's entire body People are all stiff, and the nails under the sleeves of the wide sleeves have already been deeply embedded in the flesh. If there is not a voice telling her over and over again in her heart, "You have no other choice at all, you have failed your father and sister." Once, I can't be sorry to them for the second time', she escaped from the Duke's mansion uselessly, escaped from this sad place in her previous life, a place she never wanted to set foot in this life.

What's more, she lived in the Duke's Mansion for more than six years in her previous life. Although she dare not say that she is familiar with every plant and tree in the Duke's Mansion, she can never go the wrong way even if she closes her eyes. Not interested.

The two sisters were attracted by the women who came to greet them, and quickly entered the Hanging Flower Gate. After walking for about a cup of tea, they stopped in front of a large courtyard with five rooms and four entrances. Then one of them Wearing the twisted silk gilt hairpin, she should be the first among several women, so she smiled apologetically and said to the two: "This is the Rongtai Courtyard where the old man and the old lady live, two girls, wait a moment." , let the servants go in and pass on the message."

Lu Mingfu smiled hurriedly: "Mom, please go ahead, my sister and I can just wait here."

The old woman bowed her knees and saluted, walked quickly into the courtyard, came out later and said with a smile: "The old lady invites the two girls to come in, and also invites the two girls to come with the servants."

The two followed the woman into the gate of Rongtaiju. They first passed a flower wall inlaid with Linghua wooden windows, and then entered the second courtyard through the hallway. In the middle of the courtyard was a Shoushan stone like a long knife. Green bamboos are planted, there are also stalagmites in the middle, and half a couplet stands at the entrance of the main room. The words on it have just been repainted, and the handwriting is silver hook and iron painting, revealing a magnificent momentum. came up.

Lu Mingfu seemed to be stunned when she saw Lu Mingxuan, because she said in a voice that was only audible to each other: "I heard that this word was written by the old man himself, and this yard was also written by the old man himself. It is arranged, no wonder you think you have gone to the wrong place, I also thought so when I came last time, which house's inner courtyard will be arranged like this?"

Of course Lu Mingxuan knew that the words were written by the old man himself, and that the yard was arranged by him himself. When she revisited the old place, she just felt that it was dreamlike and unreal.Her heart was also beating so fast that even she could feel a coldness in her heart, and she was even more afraid that after seeing Lu Mingzhu later, she would not be able to help but pounce on her flesh and drink her blood, for the sake of her previous life. Revenge for a child who died in vain, Lu Mingzhu could bear to blame her for revenge, why would she not even let her innocent child go? !
There was a big maid who was dressed in ivory white satin short skirt with light green folded branch flower half arm, a light blue six-panel long skirt, combed her hair, and a pretty face came out. After bowing her knees and saluting, she said with a smile: "Miss Fu is here. Is this Miss Xuan?"

Lu Mingfu hurriedly blessed Fushen, and said with a smile: "Hello, Sister Shuangxi, this is indeed my sister Mingxuan." Then she gave Lu Mingxuan a slight push, "This is Sister Shuangxi, who is in front of the old lady, see you soon Have you been?" Shuangxi, as the big servant girl that Mrs. Lu has to use, not to mention that their sisters are just girls from the side branches of the Duke's Mansion, even the real girls of the Duke's Mansion have to politely show some face when they see each other. There's always something wrong with being humble.

As Lu Mingfu's voice rang in her ears, the blood flowed back bit by bit, and flowed into Lu Mingxuan's icy heart, making her heartbeat gradually stabilize, and her limbs also gradually warmed up, no longer as before. Stiff, because he raised his head and gave Shuangxi a blessing, he said, "Hello, Sister Shuangxi."

Only then did Shuangxi see Lu Mingxuan's appearance clearly, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and smiled: "When I saw Miss Fu a while ago, this servant already felt that I had seen a fairy, who knew that Miss Xuan is also a fairy-like figure, The servants are really feasting their eyes today." As he spoke, he led the two of them to walk in, but they still couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

I didn't expect Miss Xuan to be so beautiful. I'm afraid that all the girls in the mansion combined can't match her. No wonder the old lady hadn't even seen anyone before, so she wanted to keep her by her side. Miss Xuan's mother is the most beautiful maidservant around the old lady, otherwise she would not have given birth to such a beautiful and natural child. Now the two most honorable girls in the mansion, the eldest girl and the fourth girl, will at least have a meeting in the future. Becoming a concubine or even sitting in a higher position, the old lady is not aimless now to plan ahead.

Shuangxi thought that she had read Mrs. Lu's thoughts, so she treated Lu Mingxuan more politely when she spoke and acted. When she reached the front door of Mrs. Lu's main room, she did not pretend to be a little maid, and personally raised the curtains, and opened Lu Mingxuan's eyes. He and Lu Mingfu let in.

Mrs. Lu's room was furnished just as Lu Mingxuan remembered it. There was a piece of furniture made of rosewood. In the middle of the window was an arhat bed inlaid with mother-of-pearl and carved with begonias. The floor was covered with a purple-red carpet. Below are two rows of official hat chairs inlaid with mother-of-pearl, with backrests of azurite bullets and chrysanthemum patterns on them, and cushions of the same color. The surrounding furnishings are all inconspicuous at first glance, but in fact, experts will know that they are all of high-grade value Expensive, revealing a low-key luxury.

Mrs. Lu's person is also just like Lu Mingxuan remembered, wearing a brocade robe with ocher red hundred blessings and longevity patterns, her gray hair is meticulously combed into a bun, and a long hairpin inlaid with tourmalines and five blessings is inserted. Although there are a few fine lines on the tail, but the charm is still there, one can tell at a glance that she must have been an alluring beauty when she was young.

What's even more rare is that a pair of eyes are very clear, like the finishing touch, revealing the shrewdness and wisdom experienced in the world. When touched by those eyes, her whole body will come alive, making people feel that under her gaze, No one should try to move any small thoughts.

Lu Mingxuan's feelings for Mrs. Lu are very complicated. There is the kind of childlike affection instinctively derived from the blood relatives, and Mrs. Lu treated her well in her previous life. During the six years she lived in the Duke's mansion, All food and clothing expenses are compared to the official girls in the Duke's Mansion, not to mention four strict orders that the servants in the mansion must not treat her slowly just because she is a side branch, making her live a few years as a real daughter A good day, and more importantly, when she was obsessed and must marry Lu Mingzhu as concubine Teng, Mrs. Lu tried to persuade her several times, but finally she couldn't persuade her, so she quietly gave it to her. 2000 taels of silver, just like Lu Zhongxian, from these aspects, Mrs. Lu has done well enough as a grandmother.
