Yijia Yishi

Chapter 92 Cashing Out
Naturally, the Wu family would not believe that Lu Shuyi could help the Wu family.

Not to mention Lu Shuyi, even the Second Master Lu, it is impossible for him to have a way to bring the Wu family back to life.

Right now, the Wu family is just like an old man in his dying years, just enduring life...

Wu Shi sighed again, his eyes drooped slightly, his eyes were as dim as stars that lost their luster...

Lu Shuyi weighed it in her heart, whether it was for the Wu family, her mother, or her own future, it seemed that the best way out for her was to cooperate with Huo Tianyou.

What she couldn't do, Huo Tianyou could do, and he could do it very well.

I just don't know what Huo Tianyou saw in her?Even if he is looking for a partner, he should not be looking for a weak woman in the deep house like her who has no strength to restrain a chicken, right?

No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out...

Under the warm orange light, Lu Shuyi accompanied Wu and said a few words of her own.Mother Zhao boiled the medicine herself, and Lu Shuyi waited for Mrs. Wu to take it. After watching Mrs. Wu lie down, she went back to the room.

Sure enough, there was no news from Father and Aunt An, and it was as calm as ever.

Lu Shuyi took a deep breath. This time, Aunt An won again. She understands the thoughts of men, and also understands the thoughts of Master Lu...

Mo Ju replied in a low voice: "Lin Sanbiao ran away a long time ago. I heard that the master interrogated Lin Sanbiao's wife and mother, but he didn't ask anything... Our master is kind-hearted, rewarded Lin Sanbiao's mother and wife with a meal, and sent them back. The family pension has gone..."

With a sigh at the end, Mo Ju lowered his voice and said, "If we can't find Lin Sanbiao, we won't know his motives for harming our wife... and we don't know if he's in collusion with Aunt An..."

Lu Shuyi's brows were full of lingering haze. She lay on the couch, her snow-white fingers wrapped around her black hair, and said in a deep voice, "I must find Lin Sanbiao, no matter what method I use, I must find Lin Sanbiao... There is that daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and I must not let it go, find a way to show her to me."

That night Lu Shuyi slept very restlessly, her dreams were filled with Aunt An's proud smile and her mother's pained expression.

She woke up several times with a start, and every time she woke up, she was covered in cold sweat.

In the dark, Lu Shuyi only felt extremely tired, and this kind of tiredness came out of her heart, like vines, entwined inch by inch.

In the following January, she guarded Wu shi almost every step of the way, whether it was food or daily necessities, she took care of it herself.

In order to let Mrs. Wu eat well, she specially learned a few medicinal foods from Pan'er, and made them for Mrs. Wu every day.

With her daughter as her company, Mrs. Wu is in a very happy mood. With Mr. Bai's prescription, her complexion looks better day by day. By the end of the year, she can already walk around and manage the things needed for the New Year.

When Lu Shuyi saw that Mrs. Wu was getting better, a stone in her heart fell to the ground little by little.

The winter is cold in the twelfth lunar month, and seeing the end of the new year is approaching, as soon as the snow stopped on this day, Mo Ju quietly came to report: "Auntie An's third younger brother, An Zhiming, is here..."

An Zhiming is here?
Lu Shuyi blinked her eyes and thought for a while. There has been no news about An Zhijin's promotion. Could it be that Huo Tianyou really messed up Huang?

She was worrying about An Zhijin's affairs these days, and wondered if Huo Tianyou had settled it.

The arrival of An Zhiming gave her a glimmer of hope.

"Did you find out, what did he say to Aunt An?" Lu Shuyi picked up the candied chestnuts in the lacquered red food box on the table, squeezed them hard between her fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Has An Zhiming gone to the old lady's place?" ?”

"Going, but the old lady didn't invite him to drink tea..." Mo Ju lowered his body with a bit of pleasure, and whispered in Lu Shuyi's ear: "I got some news from Le'er, the maid next to the old lady. Le'er said that the promotion of Aunt An's elder brother An Zhijin seemed to be dead. Originally, Li Ren'an, Minister of Rites, strongly recommended it, but later Li Ren'an recommended an eighth-rank official named Hou who was at the same time as An Zhijin... I don't know who The eighth-rank official surnamed Hou gave Lord Li Ren'an so many benefits, hmph... Now the An family's snowflakes and silver are given away for nothing..."

Lu Shuyi's eyes moved slightly, and she thought, Huo Tianyou really fulfilled his promise.

The corners of Mo Ju's eyes and brows were all smiling, and said quickly: "Le'er also said that An Zhiming came to beg our old lady, and wanted our old lady to speak nicely to the old lady of the Su family. Isn't Mrs. Su's brother here?" Are you an official in the south?"

Lu Shuyi sneered coldly, and said contemptuously: "He sharpened his head and thought well. How can there be so many good things in the world going to the An family?"

"That's right." Mo Ju glanced at her mouth disapprovingly, and said again: "What a shrewd person our old lady is, the last time our Lu family's business in the south was helped by Mrs. Su's elder brother. The favor has not yet been repaid, she How could it be possible to owe favors for an aunt again?"

What Mo Ju said is absolutely right. Mrs. Lu's principle of doing things is that if you have the ability to climb, if you don't have the ability, she will never use her contacts to help you.

An Zhiyuan obviously thought too well of Mrs. Lu.

Lu Shuyi put the peeled chestnut into her mouth, and a sweet taste filled her mouth. She smiled and said, "When you are in a good mood, you can eat anything." She picked a big chestnut and threw it to Mo Ju, He smiled and said, "Try it too, isn't it very sweet?"

Mo Ju giggled, and said again: "This time when Zi An Zhiming went to see Aunt An, it's probably because Aunt An wanted to find a way."

Lu Shuyi was in a good mood, lightly raised her brows and said, "What can she think of about the officialdom?"

After thinking about it, I felt wrong, Lu Shufang was married to He Tai in her previous life...

The He family is the Queen Mother's family. If Aunt An and the He family have any relationship, will the He family help the An family?

Lu Shuyi threw away the chestnut skin in her hand, and hurriedly said: "In the past few days, we must keep a close eye on Aunt An, and the people around her. If there is any disturbance, they will come back and forth with me."

Mo Ju is also a very cautious person, and immediately said: "The New Year is coming soon, every family has to give gifts..."

"Keep an eye on those who give gifts to our family, especially those who go to He's house to give gifts." Lu Shuyi got up and turned around twice as she spoke, "It's best to go to He's house to follow our people..."

…………

In Tingxue Studio, Aunt An was sitting in the living room with An Zhiming.

An Zhiming has just turned eighteen this year. He looks handsome, dressed in green robes, and has a somewhat elegant demeanor.

An Zhiming's complexion was not good, he frowned slightly, and said, "Mother asked me to tell you that you have to think about something for elder brother. If elder brother can't be promoted this time, if he is promoted again, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while." Two years."

The south is rich and prosperous, and there are few official vacancies. It is hard to find one, and it is only a squeeze to get up.

An Zhijin originally thought that with Master Li Ren'an's recommendation, coupled with his own efforts, this promotion would be a sure thing, but who would have thought that Master Li Ren'an would put him on the same side in the end, recommending an eighth-rank official surnamed Hou at the critical moment...

Not to mention that An Zhijin couldn't swallow this breath, even the entire An family couldn't swallow this breath.

But what if you can't swallow it?
Can you still go to Li Ren'an to settle accounts?
Aunt An's fair skin was a bit bloody, and the corners of her eyes and brows were sharp. She squeezed her hands and said angrily: "I didn't expect Mrs. Li Ren'an to be such an untrustworthy person. At the beginning, my elder brother was always on him. Huayinzi... the white snowflake silver, just fed it to the dogs."

All the money was squeezed out from between the teeth by An's family saving money.

Aunt An's heart was not only for those snowflakes, but also for her brother.

An Zhijin left the north and went to the south to become an official. The roots of An's family were basically in the north. Once he went to the south, An Zhijin was like a duckweed without roots. It was not easy to gain a firm foothold in the south.

After years of hard work, An Zhijin finally had a chance to gain a foothold. Who knew that she would be broken so easily...

What Aunt An felt distressed about was her brother's hard work, and the misery of his leaving home.

An Zhiming immediately looked left and right, and said cautiously: "Sister, don't get angry, be careful that walls have ears."

"Don't worry, I'm serious here!" Aunt An sighed deeply, turned her eyes to An Zhiming, and asked, "Why did Master Li Ren'an tell the eldest brother? Did you say that you won't recommend it if you don't recommend it? There is no reason?"

An Zhiming smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "You don't even think about it, what kind of benevolence and morality can there be in the officialdom?" He paused and said, "Besides, the elder brother gave money to Li Ren'an willingly back then, and it wasn't what he wanted... …At this time, he is unwilling to recommend him, so what can we blame him for?"

Aunt An remained silent, her fingers clenched into fists.

If An Zhijin loses in the officialdom, how can she, a person who relies on her brother to survive, be better off?
The so-called cold lips and teeth, she absolutely can't watch her brother lose and ignore it.

In addition, Wu's health is getting better every day after coming in, and she is completely out of control about the second room.If things go on like this, what status will she have in the Lu family?
She lost her status, and her two children will not end well.

Lu Shufang is about to reach the age of marriage...

The more Aunt An thought about it, the more she got a headache. She closed her eyes and pinched her temples, and said slowly: "At the moment, the Empress Dowager He is still in power, it really doesn't work...I'll take the road of the He family and see if I can get through."

Although Mrs. He Er is a difficult person to talk to, she knows the secret of Mrs. He Er...

Whether it's for her brother or herself, she has to take a gamble.

When An Zhiming heard that Aunt An was going to take the He family's route, he immediately agreed: "If you can go through the He family's route, it will be easier than Master Li Ren'an's route. It's just..." He hesitated: " The official appointment is only a few days away, can my sister be sure to get through?"

Aunt An pursed her lips and muttered: "It's possible to go or not, let me try." Her eyes moved slightly, and she said again: "Go back first, don't make mother wait."

After sending An Zhiming away, Aunt An immediately began to think about how to go the way of the He family. This thought lasted for two days.

　Happy New Years Eve to everyone, okay~
