Yijia Yishi

Chapter 180 Competing for Favor + Promise
"But my brother is also working hard..." He Zhaoer's eyes moved slightly, and her tone showed a bit of distress. She said slowly: "His excellence today is also the result of his long-term hard study and experience."

Lu Shufang agreed with this very much, and she said meaningfully: "So when a brother like Cousin Tai meets him, it is a blessing from his previous life, and it is hard to change. Cousin, you are a blessed person, but unfortunately I am not so good. elder brother."

"A thousand pieces of gold are hard to change, the blessings cultivated in the previous life" fell into He Zhaoer's ears, making her heart tremble again, and she couldn't help being at a loss for a moment.

How long will her good fortune last?

What would she do if her brother really married someone else in the future?
He Zhaoer frowned slightly, with a preoccupied look on his face.

Lu Shufang saw it in her eyes, and secretly made some calculations in her heart.

In the evening, Lu Shufang went to greet Aunt An, and she told Aunt An in detail what she had seen during the day.

She raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, He Zhaoer is really a white-eyed wolf. The He family adopted her with good intentions, but she covets her brother. She is really a wolf."

Aunt An didn't take it seriously, she stretched out her hand to take a sip from the white porcelain tea bowl of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum on the Kang table, and said lightly: "He Tai is good-looking, and he is the only son of the second wife of the He family. Erlang, it's no wonder that He Zhaoer has changed his mind."

Lu Shufang couldn't help but blush when she heard that.

Her mother was right, He Tai is indeed outstanding, and now she can't help but like He Tai.

Therefore, she must marry He Tai. If she marries someone else, she can only live her life unwillingly.

"...Mom, so you have to help me." Lu Shufang held back her embarrassment, pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said to Aunt An with a serious face: "My daughter really wants to live with Cousin Tai, can you help me?" You must help me."

Aunt An put down the tea bowl in her hand, raised her hand to caress Lu Shufang's forehead, and said with pity: "Mother knows what's on your mind, don't worry, Mother has already made arrangements, and Mother will definitely do her best to find a bright future for you." .”

Lu Shufang's eyes were bright, and she said happily, "Can I do anything for you?"

Aunt An shook her head, smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about anything, you don't need to do anything, as long as you hold your flower party with peace of mind, I will arrange everything."

Aunt An frowned and drank tea. She didn't want to involve her children in some nasty things. It's okay for her to get dirty hands, but her children can't. They have to be clean.

…………

In Lanyue Pavilion, Lu Shuyi asked Mo Ju to wait for her to change clothes.

This evening, she has to serve Mrs. Lu for dinner, so she must dress carefully.

She chose a pink plain beanie, and a set of pearl beanie.

She dressed up like this not to please Mrs. Lu, but to save face for her mother.

"I don't know what the old lady wants you to do?" Mo Ju was a little worried, and while tidying up the corners of Lu Shuyi's clothes, she whispered: "I am afraid that she will marry you again."

Su Zicheng before, then Qian Jianchang, and then Zhao Yong, all of them are unreliable men.

Thinking about it, Mo Ju felt a terrible headache.

Lu Shuyi wasn't too scared, anyway, she had already made up her mind, as long as she didn't want to, no one would want her to marry.

She looked at the bronze mirror with a smile: "It's okay, I guess grandma probably felt sorry for Zhao Yong's affairs for keeping the matter from me, so she asked me to serve her dinner."

Being able to serve Mrs. Lu for dinner is equivalent to being appreciated by Mrs. Lu.

In the Lu family, a granddaughter who is appreciated by Mrs. Lu will naturally be more popular in marriage in the future.

But Lu Shuyi is not rare for this kind of "appreciation", not in her previous life, but even more so in this life.

After packing up, Lu Shuyi took Mother You and Mo Ju to Fushouju.

When Lu Shuyi entered, the eldest lady was serving the old lady Lu to drink tea and talk, and there was still Lu Shuqi standing beside the eldest lady.

Lu Shuyi stepped forward and saluted gracefully.

The old lady Lu saw that Lu Shuyi was wearing a peach red plain beanie, her hair was combed into a ponytail, and she was wearing a pearl headband.

She nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Today, I asked the kitchen to make some snacks, which are all your girls' favorites. You and the second girl should stay and have dinner with me."

Lu Shuyi responded with a smile, and when she raised her eyes, when her eyes met the eyes of the eldest lady, a bit of uneasiness flashed across the eldest wife's face.

Ever since the matter of Qian Wenchang and Qian Jianchang happened last time, the eldest wife has rarely seen Lu Shuyi, and every time she saw her, she always looked uncomfortable.

Lu Shuyi just pretended not to see the uneasiness on the eldest lady's face, and said to the eldest lady with a smile, "Auntie's pair of emerald earrings are really beautiful today."

The eldest wife gave a dry cough, and forced a smile and said: "I just wear it for fun, if I say it looks good, it's because of you little girls who look like flower bones."

Lu Shuqi felt disdainful, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to give Lu Shuyi a hard look.

Lu Shuyi ignored her, just turned around with a smile and asked Qian Momo when she would serve vegetables, and she came to help.

After hearing this, Qian Momo liked Lu Shuyi even more, and said to her: "You don't need to worry about it, they have fun with the cloth dishes."

Old Madam Lu also said: "You can just eat today." Then she ordered Le'er and the others to serve vegetables, and said to Nanny Qian: "Put those snacks in front of the second and third misses, they like to eat .”

Nanny Qian agreed with a smile.

After a while, several delicate side dishes were placed on the kang table. Lu Shuyi glanced at them. The dishes on the table included bergamot golden rolls, lotus pod tofu, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, king melon mixed with golden shrimp balls, shredded chicken and white fungus, and a pot of angelica mutton soup.

And on their small table on the ground, there are some exquisite snacks and some mixed vegetables.

These must have been specially ordered by Mrs. Lu to the kitchen.

Speaking of which, she has never been treated like this in her previous life, and this is the first time she has been a human being in two lives.

Old Madam Lu sat on the kang, smiled and said to Lu Shuyi and Lu Shuqi: "You are the two biggest granddaughters right now, in the future you should put the Lu family first in everything, do you understand?"

Take the Lu family first?That is to say, let these girls be ready to sacrifice everything for the Lu family at any time...

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and smiled: "We are the Lu family, of course we must put the Lu family first."

The old lady Lu was very happy when she heard this, and ordered Madam Qian to bring a plate of fried vegetables on the table to Lu Shuyi: "It's good for you girls to eat more vegetables. Eat more vegetables to keep your skin healthy."

The eldest wife saw that Lu Shuyi was so good at coming, but Lu Shuqi couldn't say anything. She was a little anxious, coughed dryly, and hurriedly gave Lu Shuqi winks.

Because Lu Shuqi was competing with Lu Shuyi, she didn't want to do the same thing as Lu Shuyi.

She chose to ignore the big lady's wink, and just ate her food with a sullen head.

The eldest lady squeezed the handkerchief in her hand angrily, wishing she could slap Lu Shuqi.

Lu Shuqi has reached the age of Ji this year, and for a mature girl, engagement is the most important thing.

In the Lu family, no matter who gets married, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu must first nod.

This silly girl, why doesn't she know how to curry favor with Mrs. Lu?She wasn't like this before?

After a meal, the eldest wife was very anxious.

It's a pity that Lu Shuqi couldn't understand the anxiety of the eldest lady, she didn't even take the action of serving the old lady Lu after a meal.

On the other hand, Lu Shuyi, who was serving Mrs. Lu's vegetables and soup, was really considerate.

Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with Lu Shuyi's performance, and finally gave Lu Shuyi a bracelet of tourmaline stones on her wrist.

Lu Shuqi gritted her teeth secretly, and when the game was over and went back, she followed closely behind Lu Shuyi and walked forward.

Lu Shuyi ignored her and walked straight to the bank of the osmanthus moon. When she reached the gazebo, Lu Shuqi suddenly chased after her and said coldly: "Sister, I have something to say to you, do you have time? "

Lu Shuqi's eyes were terrifying, and Nanny You instinctively stood in front of her.

Lu Shuyi was not afraid of her, she just smiled and said to Nanny You and Mo Ju, "It's okay, Second Sister just wanted to say a few words to me, you guys should step back first."

Mother You hesitated, Mo Ju whispered, "It's fine, don't worry."

She knows kung fu, if Lu Shuqi really dares to be rough, she can rush over to block her immediately, so Mo Ju thinks it's okay.

She blinked her eyes to convince Aunt You to believe her.

After Nanny You and Mo Ju backed away three meters away, the nanny and maid beside Lu Shuqi also backed away three meters away.

At this time, Lu Shuyi pushed Lu Shuqi's hand away, raised her eyebrows and said, "Second sister is chasing so hard, but for this string of tourmaline stone bracelets?" He smiled and said, "If my sister likes it, then take it."

"Who cares about your things?" Lu Shuqi's face was so angry that her eyes were reddened.Anyway, when she was in Su's house, she had already torn face with Lu Shuyi, and now she doesn't mind to do it again.

Lu Shuqi gritted her teeth and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so proficient in flattery, it's really admirable!"

"Flirtatious? Do I have it?" Lu Shuyi's face remained normal, she looked at the lotus pond beside the osmanthus and moon, and said indifferently: "I just did what you are used to doing, second sister. How can I be called flirtatious?"

What she is doing today is what Lu Shuqi has been doing in her previous life, and she just learned from her once.

Lu Shuqi's face turned cold and angry when she heard this, and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, you are shameless, don't pull me in."

"Second Sister, why is she so angry?" Lu Shuyi put her hands in her sleeves, and said with a straight expression, "You say I'm shameless? What about you?" She questioned, "You even collaborated with Eldest Sister to harm me for your own self-interest. Despicable, aren't you shameless?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Shuqi's face turned pale, and she was stunned for a long time as if struck by lightning.

"...What do you mean? I... When did I harm you with my eldest sister? If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense." Lu Shuqi's eyes froze, looking annoyed.

Lu Shuyi sneered, and said slowly: "You think I don't care about anything if you don't go out for half a year? Do you think you can erase everything that happened on the Lantern Festival night by hiding from me?"

After hearing the words "Shangyuan Festival", Lu Shuqi's complexion could no longer be normal, as if her blood had been sucked dry, it was frighteningly white.

"...I know that Second Sister has a bad memory, so let me remind you." Lu Shuyi smiled lightly, and said coldly, "Didn't Second Sister write a letter to Eldest Sister in the twelfth lunar month of last year?"

Lu Shuqi's face turned paler, and her body began to tremble.

She didn't understand, how did Lu Shuyi know everything about such a secret thing she did?
Lu Shuyi stared at the expression on Lu Shuqi's face, and suddenly felt that she was actually very pitiful, as if she saw herself in a previous life.

In her previous life, she was so eager to marry He Tai as his wife.

The same is true for Lu Shuqi. She has done so many bad things, but in fact, she only wants to marry Su Ziwen.

It's just that her methods are too vicious and ruthless. If she is too vicious, she will lose her humanity. How can she win something beautiful with an inhumane person?
Lu Shuyi's voice softened a little, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "I know you have done so much, but it was just to marry Cousin Wen and to be with him for the rest of your life. It's just that a gentleman takes it in a proper way, and you use means to get it." A relationship, do you think it can last long?"

She hit the nail on the head and brought up this matter face to face.

Lu Shuqi's already pale face was even more bloodless. She struggled for a long time with her trembling lips before she said bitterly: "Since you already know my purpose, I also warn you, please stay away from Cousin Wen in the future." Point. As long as you don't move Cousin Wen, I promise you, I will never touch you in the future, we will not interfere with each other, and have nothing to do with each other."

Well water does not offend river water.

Lu Shuyi looked at Lu Shuqi closely without moving away, she said: "What do you think of Cousin Wen? Commodity?"

Lu Shuqi frowned and interrupted: "You don't have to worry about it. What I treat him as is my own business. What I want is that you don't provoke him, just don't go near him."

Lu Shuyi said: "Then what if I don't agree?"

Lu Shuqi's eyebrows moved slightly, her color suddenly changed, and she said bluntly: "If you don't agree, then I can't guarantee that what happened to Qian Jianchang last time will happen again. Anyway... In my opinion, you are a thorn in the flesh. As long as you are married, who will follow you?" Should I steal cousin Wen?"

Her attitude is very clear, as long as Lu Shuyi does not stand in her way, she will not oppose Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi smiled speechlessly, and she asked back: "Then you are so sure that Cousin Wen will marry you? Are you so confident that he will like you?"

Love is a matter between two people, how can it be based on wishful thinking?
She felt that it was necessary for her to wake up Lu Shuqi and let her recognize the facts.

Lu Shuqi's expression froze, and a trace of brokenness and despair flashed in her eyes.

She has been probing for so long, if Su Ziwen really had a little thought for her, her marriage with Su Ziwen might have been settled long ago, can they wait until now?

The cool breeze was silent, rolling up the corners of the skirts of the two of them.

Lu Shuqi bit her lips tightly, and said word by word: "Whether he likes me or not, I will always like him. This point cannot be changed in this life. So... I beg you, please don't associate with him OK?"

Lu Shuqi suddenly looked sad, looked up at her and said, "Third sister, I know that Cousin Wen likes you, I know, I can see it. But...but I really like him." Suddenly, the circles of her eyes were red, and the tears almost rolled down from her eyes.

She swallowed hard her tears, let go of all her pride and pleaded again: "You know, I have liked my cousin Shangwen since I was very young, and I really can't live without him in my whole life, really. Maybe this feeling You won't understand, but there is really no lie in what I said, it's all from my heart."

Lu Shuyi's heart softened a bit, she sighed and said: "I don't need to intervene in the affairs between you, but you have to promise me that you can't force Cousin Wen, let alone harm others."

"...If you do these two things, I will never interfere in the affairs between the two of you." Lu Shuyi took a step back.

She wanted to give Lu Shuqi a chance.

Not for anything else, but for Lu Shuqi's rare honesty just now.

Lu Shuqi froze for a moment, blinked her eyes and said, "You...you really don't want to meddle in our affairs?"

"Well, I don't need to intervene, but you must promise that from now on, you will fight for your happiness in an upright manner, instead of using dirty means. Also, you can't force Cousin Wen anyway. If you agree to these things, the relationship between you I will never interfere with things."

Lu Shuyi expressed her position, and at the same time she said: "You must not ask the Qian family, including the eldest sister, for help with matters between you and Cousin Wen. Also, if Cousin Wen has a marriage contract in advance, and you can't move him , then you must stop and not hurt his fiancée, okay?"

It's hard to trust someone, especially someone like Lu Shuqi.She had to eliminate all unfavorable factors that might harm Su Ziwen.

Lu Shuqi pursed her lips, she seemed to be hesitant
However, she quickly corrected her attitude and agreed straight away: "Okay, I promise you. But you also have to promise me that you must never have any ambiguous relationship with Cousin Wen."

Lu Shuqi is much more frank than Lu Shufang and He Zhaoer in this regard, at least she knows what she wants, and she dares to say what she wants.

Lu Shuyi nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

After hearing this, Lu Shuqi breathed a sigh of relief, her whole face became lively, she looked at the lotus pond with full eyes, and said with a smile against the wind: "I have always regarded you as my enemy, I never thought that you and I would be like this now." Time to be honest."

Lu Shuyi also sat by the railing, and smiled slightly: "Sometimes it is better to be honest than to hide it. If you had told me clearly from the beginning, maybe there would be no such trouble between you and me. After all... I used to I have always regarded you as a good sister, and never thought that you would harm me."

In her previous life, she always thought that Lu Shuqi was a good person, and she always thought that Lu Shuqi treated her sincerely, until she relived this life, she knew something she shouldn't know, and then she discovered that Lu Shuqi had been secretly harming her in her previous life.

Lu Shuqi was also responsible for her and He Tai's tragic ending.

Lu Shuqi blushed a little, and said lightly: "Everyone will inevitably get lost in the game, don't you?"

"Me?" Lu Shuyi blinked at her and asked, "Why did you say that?"

Lu Shuqi smiled against the wind and said: "Am I not right? Cousin Wen has always been so kind to you, but you have always turned a blind eye. Cousin Tai has always been lukewarm to you, but you used to care about him very much."

Lu Shuyi curled her lips, who made her do so many stupid things before she was reborn, it's no wonder that she was turned over.

"But second sister, you are really wrong. I don't mean anything to Cousin Tai." Lu Shuyi denied it, and leaned on the red lacquered railing with her head tilted: "Give my paper-cut to Cousin Tai. , just want him to misunderstand me and think that I like him, right?"

Lu Shuqi blushed, and coughed dryly: "Well... I can't help it... If you don't marry, Cousin Wen will always miss you."

She answered very frankly.

Lu Shuyi couldn't help laughing, she teased: "So, you can save yourself from such things in the future! I am really not as weak as you think, and you are not as strong as you think."

Her implication could not be more clear, Lu Shuqi may not be able to fight her if she fights.

Lu Shuqi smiled awkwardly again.

She hid in her room and didn't go out for more than half a year. In fact, she gradually figured out some things, but she just couldn't save face and said them out.

"So, I owe you an apology." When Lu Shuqi said this, she took another long breath, her face even more embarrassed.

She never thought that she would have such a day with Lu Shuyi, let alone that she would take the initiative to apologize.

In fact, it feels good to say so.

There is a sense of relief.

"Okay, I accept your apology." Lu Shuyi smiled kindly at her, glanced at the setting sun that was about to set, got up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, I should go back. One last thing, just I hope Second Sister can really keep your promise this time, if you keep, I will keep the promise."

Lu Shuqi nodded solemnly, and only said, "Go back quickly."

Lu Shuyi gave an "um", turned around and left Shi Shiran.

Lu Shuqi stood in the gazebo, watching Lu Shuyi go away.

The nurse beside her came over and reminded: "It's getting cold outside, you should go back quickly."

Lu Shuqi's eyes moved, and she said in a low voice: "From now on, you don't have to stare at Miss San anymore."

Mammy froze for a moment, blinked her eyes and said hesitantly, "Aren't you... Don't you dislike Miss San the most? What's the matter?"

Lu Shuqi raised her chin, and the setting sun was just on her cheeks, with a warm look: "Just because someone you don't like doesn't mean she's bad, maybe... she also has her cuteness."

This was the first time she felt that Lu Shuyi was actually not that annoying.

She ticked the corner of her mouth, and said with certainty: "In short, you don't have to stare at Miss San anymore."

The nanny and the maid beside her all agreed yes.

Similarly, Mo Ju and You Nanny asked Lu Shuyi what Lu Shuyi and Lu Shuqi talked about along the way.

Lu Shuyi only replied: "In the future, you don't have to care too much about the whereabouts of the second lady, as long as she is not out of line. Also, when we meet again, you don't have to be so nervous, she can't eat me..."

Nanny You grinned sheepishly, and explained: "It's because Second Young Miss's behavior was too scary just now, so I..."

"I know." Lu Shuyi nodded, and said very calmly: "In short, we will live in peace with Second Miss from now on, do you understand?"

　Woohoo, my aunt is here as a guest, it’s so difficult to write, good night my dears~
