Chapter 171 Flower Festival + Defense
Wu frowned slightly, and a woman's delicate voice came from beside her ear: "Maidservant concubine pays respects to Master and Madam."

Under the light and shadow, Aunt An stood with her eyebrows lowered and her knees half bent.

The moon-white cotton beanie on her body looks a little loose, so her figure looks even thinner. It can be said that she is thinner than a yellow flower, and more lovable than before.

Wu's frown became tighter...

The sisterhood between her and Aunt An has long been broken, and meeting now is just a show of perfunctory.

"Auntie is here..." Wu's expression turned back to normal, she continued to move, took a piece of mutton for Master Lu, and asked, "Is Auntie feeling better recently? Are the pills given enough? If it’s not enough, I’ll invite Dr. Zhou to come over and take a look for my aunt.”

Master Lu Er didn't even look at Aunt An, he just ate the meat with his head down.

In the past year, he has never been in Aunt An's Ting Xuezhai, nor has he taken the initiative to talk to her, and he has never had anything about men and women.

In the past, he loved Aunt An because he thought she was sensible and considerate, would not be jealous, could serve the mistress well, and the most important thing was that she gave birth to a pair of children for him.

As a mother, she deserves to be loved.

But what she did really disappointed him, no matter how good the relationship is, it will slowly fade away because of all kinds of disappointments.

Aunt An glanced at Second Master Lu, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes like shooting stars.

The man she loved with all her heart for so many years now refuses to even look at her...

The hands in the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and she didn't even feel the pain when her nails poked into the flesh.

"...Mrs. Xie is concerned. The concubine's health is much better, and there are still two boxes of pills unopened, so I don't need to work on Dr. Zhou." Aunt An replied respectfully, with a faint smile on her lips.

Even if her heart was bleeding, she couldn't show it.

Mrs. Wu said "Oh", and glanced at Second Master Lu, wanting to say something to Second Master Lu, but Second Master Lu just ate his food one bite at a time, and ignored him.

Mrs. Wu also didn't know the intention of Aunt An's coming, so she could only ask the maid to bring a brocade stick over, and said indifferently: "Sit down and talk, your body will be fine, and it's better not to come out to blow the air." Tea comes.

Aunt An thanked her, and after she sat down, she said: "My concubine wants to talk to the master about something. I don't know if the master is free or not?" After she finished speaking, her eyes slowly fixed on the second master Lu with expectation. Wait for him to speak.

It's been more than half a year, and it seems that they haven't spoken to each other...

Mrs. Wu also stopped moving, and looked at Second Master Lu without blinking.

Master Lu Er looked normal, drank a few mouthfuls of soup and took two bites of meat before putting down the pink brocade passionflower bowl in his hand.

Nanny Li handed over a hot towel, he wiped his hands slowly, then turned his gaze to Aunt An, and said calmly: "What's the matter, tell me."

It has been more than half a year, and this is his first sentence.

The corners of Aunt An's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled and said, "The concubine came to you this time for Fang'er."

"Seven girls?" The second master Lu looked at Mrs. Wu, and he immediately said: "I don't care about the inner house, you can talk to your wife. Of course... if it's a matter of marriage, you don't have to worry about it. My wife and I have our own affairs." arrange."

Master Lu Er has always been a very gentle person, but if he is really angry or disappointed, he will be merciless and merciless.

For example, now, he doesn't give Aunt An any face or leeway.

He made it very clear that Aunt An could discuss other matters with Mrs. Wu, but when it came to Lu Shufang's marriage, Aunt An didn't even have a role to participate in, and everything was decided by him and Mrs. Wu.

Aunt An's heart shattered into pieces.

She has done so much, but she never wanted to hurt this man. All she did was because she wanted to be with him forever and treat him well.

But what about him?Hurt her over and over again, and now she has to say such unfeeling words.

She sneered in her heart, looked at Master Lu with a smile again, and said, "This concubine originally wanted to discuss with my wife, but it happens that you are here too. Since you are here, concubine naturally wants to talk to you..."

Master Lu Er didn't speak.

Not speaking is the default.

Aunt An smiled and said: "It's like this. Fang'er went to the plum garden for half a day today. She told me that the plum garden is very beautiful. It would be very interesting if we could hold a flower viewing party at this time. .”

"Flower viewing party?" Mrs. Wu squeezed her handkerchief and narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "The plum blossoms are blooming well this year, but it's cold, and the girl's house is easy to freeze."

Aunt An wanted to hold a flower viewing party for no reason, and she instinctively felt that there was something wrong, so she politely refused.

The second master Lu also felt that it was inappropriate, and pondered: "The weather is so cold, it is not suitable for holding a flower viewing party. If you want to do it, you can wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom..."

Master Lu Er disagreed.

Aunt An's face flushed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed: "Who says it's not, in fact, the concubine also thinks so." Her eyes dimmed, revealing a bit of sadness, and said softly: "It's just that in a few days, Fang'er It's my birthday, this kid has never begged me since he grew up, but this is the first time he came to beg me..."

"...The concubine also thinks it's inappropriate, but she said that she has never held a flower viewing party since she grew up, and she has never invited girls from various families to come and play..." Aunt An's voice lowered, almost sobbing Zhi Sheng: "She told her concubines that she knew she was a concubine and should not be compared with other sisters, but..."

"Okay, okay..." Second Master Lu couldn't listen anymore after hearing this.

He is a very soft-hearted person, especially with children.

In his opinion, his five children are all the same, and there is no such thing as a concubine or a concubine.As long as he behaves uprightly, he is a good boy of Lu Yunsheng.

Wu Shi also found it harsh when she heard the word Shu out.

She has never treated Aunt An's children harshly.

"The master treats every child the same." Wu's tone was neither high nor low, but it just served as a reminder, and his eyes fell on the face of the second master Lu again, to see what the second master Lu said.

Anyway, she doesn't intend to participate in this matter, and of course, she can't persuade Second Master Lu.

If he persuades Second Master Lu not to agree to Lu Shufang's request at this moment, maybe there will be rumors in the house tomorrow that she can't tolerate concubine sons and concubine daughters.

She didn't want to bear such a reputation.

Master Lu Er frowned, and tapped the corner of the table with his fingers lightly.

"...If you find it difficult, then the concubine will go and persuade Fang'er not to be willful." Aunt An pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids again.

Long eyelashes covered her pair of sad and narrow eyes, which looked even more charming when she jumped.

"That's all." The second master Lu waved his hand: "Seventh girl really didn't ask me for anything. Since she wants to hold a flower viewing party so much, then I will allow her this time. As for how to do it, you can ask your wife to help you." Look." After thinking for a while, he said: "Also, if the weather is bad that day, you can drink tea indoors."

Aunt An's eyes lit up, and she immediately got up to thank: "If Fang'er knows that you have agreed to this matter, she will be very happy."

Master Lu Er sighed: "It's good to be happy, but the child still needs to be disciplined strictly, don't spoil her too much, this time...even if I, the father, pamper her once, her wish has come true."

After finishing speaking, Master Lu took out his purse again, took out two [-]-dollar bills and put them on the kang table, and glanced at Aunt An again, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, his voice Qingqing said indifferently: "Take this banknote. Since you want to do it, do it well. Do it decently. Don't do it too shabby to make people laugh."

Aunt An's heart jumped suddenly.

She thought he didn't care, but it didn't, he still did.

With deep affection on her eyelashes, tears almost fell down, she said again and again: "I will spare you, my servant, please don't worry, master."

Wu Shi looked at everything in front of her, feeling inexplicably lost in her heart.

The Second Master Lu said "En", and stretched out his hand but grabbed Wu Shi's finger again: "You can arrange what to do, don't wrong the child, and don't worry about money, just do what you want."

As he said that, he put his other hand on his back, patted the back of Wu's hand lightly, and said softly, "I'm going to the study first."

Wu's face was as red as a crayfish, and it was boiling like water, but her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

For a moment just now, she thought that Aunt An was the only one in Master Lu's eyes again, so it wasn't...

She breathed a sigh of relief, she could just see Aunt An's appearance from the corner of her eye.

Aunt An's face was drooping, and she could hardly see her eyes.

She should be very sad now, right?
As a woman, in fact, we shouldn't embarrass each other, but what can we do?There's only one man, and they all want to...

In the past, she was used to wronging herself, but now she doesn't want to wrong herself anymore, because she also deeply loves and is attached to this man.

Mrs. Wu sighed in her heart, smiled softly at the second master Lu, and told Nanny Li and the others to bring over the cloak, and she put it on for the second master Lu herself before sending him away.

All this made Aunt An grit her teeth secretly.

She always thought that Mrs. Wu was a weak waste, but now it seems that this weak waste is becoming stronger little by little, so strong that he will show affection in front of her.

She clenches her fists secretly, one day she will trample Wu Shi under her feet, making her unable to stand up forever.

…………

The matter of the flower viewing party has been settled like this.

Mrs. Wu took Aunt An to tell Mrs. Lu that at first Mrs. Lu did not agree to hold the flower viewing party. After all, Lu Shufang is a concubine raised by her aunt, and the flower viewing parties have always been held by girls from the main family. For things, she is not qualified enough.Come here, just because her background is not obvious, Mrs. Lu doesn't care much about her feelings, and she doesn't want to spend more money on her.But after hearing that Master Lu Er agreed, she reluctantly agreed.

"However, this kind of weather is still not suitable for inviting too many people." Mrs. Lu said slowly, drinking hot tea: "If we invite ladies from various families in our town to enjoy the flowers, maybe the weather like this will It made the rich and precious girls get sick from the cold. It seems that it is the end of the new year, if they really get sick from the cold, it’s hard to explain.”

The old lady Lu's attitude is very clear, Lu Shufang can organize the flower viewing party, but there must be a charter for it, it can only be done in a small way, not in a big way.

All in all, she just didn't want Lu Shufang to show off.

Aunt An secretly gritted her teeth, still nodded her head and said: "It's because you are always thinking carefully, it is inappropriate to invite too many people. Fang'er also said that she only invited a few sisters from the Lu family to the garden for a visit." Get together, others will not be invited..."

Aunt An found the steps by herself, and Mrs. Lu was very satisfied.

But she thought for a while and said: "The brothers and sisters of the He family are also in our house, we can't get rid of them, can we?"

Aunt An didn't speak, she just looked at Mrs. Wu.

Wu also felt that it would be inappropriate not to invite He Tai and He Zhaoer, after all, they are all living in Lu's house now, and their age happens to be fun, so they would definitely like to come to such a party.

She mused: "How about... count all the boys and girls of the Lu family, plus the brothers and sisters of the He family, and invite them both in the next post." After thinking about it, she said: "That's right, Painter Wang is also here, why not... make a post for him too?" Wu Shi explained: "After all, he is also a guest, and it is our courtesy to invite him. Whether he comes or not is his business."

In this way, there will be more people immediately.

Mrs. Lu felt that Wu's words were right.

Although she felt that it was impossible for Painter Wang to participate in such a flower viewing party, it was a courtesy that the Lu family should have.

She nodded with satisfaction: "You're right, let Fang'er post a post for them according to what you want." Then she said: "It's cold now, you should prepare more hot soup and hot water, hand stove and foot stove , don’t freeze the kids.”

If something goes wrong in order to enjoy the flowers, the loss outweighs the gain.

Wu replied with a smile.

The old lady Lu looked at Aunt An, she has been very peaceful in the past half a year, and she hasn't had any troubles, so she is quite satisfied.

She said to Aunt An: "Since it was Qi Yatou who proposed it this time, then you should mention her more, and teach her more if you don't know."

Aunt An respectfully agreed.

When Lu Shuyi found out about this, Lu Shujing was pouting her lips and arguing with Wu Shi very unhappy: "Why should she hold a flower viewing party? You are really good-tempered, why did you agree?" The little girl's face Full of anger, he pouted and said, "Anyway, let me make a statement first, I won't go."

"Your child, no matter how you say it, you should call her Seventh Sister." Madam Wu stroked Lu Shujing's hair and comforted her softly, "She is also your father's daughter, we can't treat her like this."

Lu Shuyi held the chestnut cake in her hand and ate it in small bites. When she blinked, she smiled and asked, "Then tell me, what should we do to her?"

Wu who asked in one sentence didn't know how to answer.

Mrs. Wu sighed, and said softly, "I know you don't want to go, but the old lady's side and your father's side both agreed. If you two sisters don't go, what will your father think? ? What does the old lady think? What does everyone in the Lu family think? What do people outside think?"

"What do you think? Who likes to talk." Lu Shujing said angrily, "Anyway, I don't want to see her proud face."

Lu Shuyi didn't speak, she ate the chestnut cake very seriously.

Her attitude towards this matter is that the party can be attended, but it is risky.

She knew clearly that Aunt An and Lu Shufang had plans for He Tai, and she was afraid that such plans would affect her.

This cherry blossom viewing party may not be destined to be peaceful.

"You guys..." Wu shi sighed again and again.

Mo Ju hurriedly and considerately brought over the tea.

Wu Shi took a sip of tea, and ordered to die: "Anyway, I don't care, even if you put on a show, you have to let me go."

Lu Shujing's mouth immediately pouted enough to hold an oil bottle.

Lu Shuyi's face was indifferent, and under the fleeting light, there was no trace of waves: "Even if you don't say such things, my sister and I will go, don't worry."

She blinked at Lu Shujing: "Sister, do you think so?"

Lu Shujing pointed her fingers reluctantly, curled her lips and said, "Forget it, just go..."

Only then did Wu breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at Lu Shuyi with a smile: "I know I have wronged you two, but it's not up to others, and I can't help it."

"It's okay, anyway, it's just eating, drinking, and admiring the flowers. It's not going up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil. It's nothing." Lu Shuyi smiled lightly, but her heart turned several times.

When she arrived at Lanyue Pavilion, she immediately called Dongmei, Dongqing, Mo Ju, Pan'er and Mother You to come in.

These five people are now her most trusted people.

"Miss Seven, what do you think of the flower viewing party?" Lu Shuyi sat on the couch with very cautious eyes.

"You don't have to ask, it's definitely not a good thing." Dongmei rolled her eyes, somewhat incomprehensible, "Miss Seven is just a concubine, what kind of flower viewing party are you holding?"

Mo Ju also agrees with Dongmei's words, she nodded and said: "I have been a servant girl for so many years, it is really rare to see the concubine daughter in the family hold a flower viewing party, this kind of thing is usually done by the concubine daughter in the family things."

"...You can't say that. Although things are a bit strange, think about it, why didn't the old lady ask Miss Seven to invite outsiders? Do you usually invite ladies from various families to come over for this kind of flower viewing?" Nanny You seriously analyzed Said: "So, the old lady also knows it in her heart, but if she refuses to agree, she is afraid of refusing our second master's face, so she only asks Miss Seven to post a post to invite the young lady of our house. As for Mr. He and Miss He There are painter Wang and the others, after all they are guests, there is no reason to leave them behind."

The analysis of Nanny You's words was very thorough.

Lu Shuyi smiled lightly, and couldn't help praising Sister You: "You are worthy of being an old Sister, I can't hide anything from you."

Mother You smiled respectfully, and said humbly: "I just ate a few handfuls of salt..." Her voice changed, and she hesitated and said, "But having said that, this matter is still very strange."

Lu Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Let's listen."

Mother You said slowly: "Aunt An never thought of holding a flower viewing party for Miss Seven when she presided over Zhongfu, but now she has no power in her hands, and instead holds a flower viewing party for Miss Seven. Strange. Second, she chose to hold the flower viewing party when Miss He's son was there, as you have seen, Miss Seven..."

Nanny You pursed her lips and hesitated.

Although Lu Shuyi and Lu Shufang were not born to the same mother, they are also half-sisters. If I say something, I am afraid that Lu Shuyi will be suspicious.

"I understand. You mean Miss Seven has plans for Mr. He, right?" Lu Shuyi said without embellishment.

Nanny You nodded embarrassingly: "You see it all?"

"Isn't this a lice on a bald head?" Lu Shuyi disagreed.

Mo Ju also smiled: "Sima Zhao's heart is clearly exposed."

Pan'er also said, "Even Dongmei and I know about it, so don't be shy about it."

Mother You breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Obviously, Aunt An also hopes that Miss Seven can get involved in this marriage with the He family. One is for the future of Miss Seven, and the other is for the future of the An family. .”

Nanny You glanced at Lu Shuyi, and Lu Shuyi said, "You continue."

Mother You coughed and continued: "So this flower viewing party is most likely a trap set by the second son. Maybe Aunt An has already figured out a way to get married, so she will make a big fuss for the seven Miss asked for this flower viewing party."

Nanny You's words happened to be exactly what Lu Shuyi was thinking.

That's what worries her too.

Aunt An wanted to push her daughter to the He family over and over again, but she really lost her mind.

However, she was also a little emotional, the road she had walked in the previous life, finally Lu Shufang was going to leave in this life.

She was a participant in the previous life, but she is a spectator in this life, and she is happy to watch this good show.

"Speaking of which, Aunt An and Miss Seven are wishful thinking." Dongmei wrinkled her nose and said, "What kind of family is the He family? How can they allow a concubine to be their daughter-in-law? Besides, even if it is Seventh Miss really got her wish and married in, and she can guarantee that she will live a good life? I'm afraid not, Mrs. He Er is not a vegetarian..."

Lu Shuyi let out a sigh of relief. Lu Shufang in her previous life seemed to be living well, and she gave birth to a son as soon as she entered the house.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that He Tai likes Lu Shufang again.

If he didn't like it, how could he make Lu Shufang pregnant as soon as he entered the door?
Lu Shuyi shook her head, not wanting to think about anything else.

She said to Mother You: "Since the analysis of everything is almost done, then I will arrange the task."

Mo Ju and the others stood up straight, as if they were about to go to the battlefield.

Lu Shuyi couldn't help laughing, and divided the tasks one by one: "Mother You, you know the most people in the mansion, and I will leave it to you to collect information from various sources."

Nanny You agreed with a smile.

Lu Shuyi said to Pan'er again: "At the flower viewing party, there will definitely be food prepared. You must pay close attention to food. If you find anything, don't rush to stop it. Let me know first."

Pan'er nodded: "This servant knows what to do, don't worry."

"Hmm." Lu Shuyi patted Pan'er on the shoulder, turned to look at Dongqing again: "You are the most calm, I leave it to you to keep an eye on Miss Seven, and I will find a reason for you to stay with her for a few days."

"What about me?" Dongmei was a little anxious, looking at Lu Shuyi eagerly.

"What's the rush?" Lu Shuyi chuckled and said, "You and Mo Ju follow me, you're crazy, I'll send you when something happens."
