Chapter 113
"Hey, Miss Lu, the sun is so big, wait a minute, let the servant girl shade you!" Madam Feng, the magistrate, got off the carriage under the umbrella of the servant girl, and went to greet the one who jumped off the carriage first. Lu Weimang.

Under her command, a servant girl walked to Lu Weimang with an umbrella and held an umbrella for Lu Weimang. Lu Weimang took the oil-paper umbrella and waved her hand to signal the maid to step back, looking at the person who was walking behind her. Mrs. Sheriff, "I don't have the habit of using an umbrella to shade the sun, but this umbrella is exquisite and cute. I'll play with it and return it to you."

Madam Feng, the governor of the county, looked at Lu Weimang, who was full of cuteness and foolishness, and completely forgot her husband's instructions about how powerful Lu Weimang was, and unconsciously showed her attitude towards her juniors, "Oh, little girl! Family, don’t be careless. You think it’s okay to just dangle in the sun, but in fact, you will find any trouble. You don’t know at your age, but when we are our age, you will know the seriousness. There is a salt in Yangzhou City Mrs. Shang, when she was young, her life was difficult, living under the sun, but now that her family is prosperous, she has become a yellow-faced woman. The spots on her face are caused by how many famous doctors she has seen and how many things she has applied. Yes, but it's useless at all. Because of her freckles on her face, her master carried concubines one after another into the door, and said that he would not divorce her for the sake of his past love, but she couldn't stop her. Take a concubine by yourself. Hey, I have suffered for half my life, and now I am dumb and eat coptis. So we women should pay attention to maintenance on weekdays."

Mrs. Feng held Lu Weimang's hand earnestly and talked to her, Lu Weimang just felt embarrassed, she didn't like strangers to be so close to her.

This can only be blamed on Lu Weimang's harmless face. When she smiles and gets along with others, there will always be people who ignore her status and regard her as one of their own.

Lu Weimang didn't force himself, and took out his hand as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Feng was taken aback for a moment, and Lu Weimang said lightly, "If you want to, even the wife of the salt merchant who walks in the door with her left foot first will let that Salt merchants find excuses to take concubines, if they don’t have the heart, even if the salt merchant’s wife is slovenly every day, salt merchants will not accept concubines. People’s hearts are hard to control, so there is no need to torment yourself for others, it’s true that you can live comfortably and comfortably.” The smiling face seemed to suddenly become indifferent. Although the words in his mouth were reasonable, his attitude was unavoidably cold.

Mrs. Feng was thinking about it, but she didn't show it on her face. She just put away what she had just done to the children casually, and agreed with a smile, "Miss Lu is right, and it's important to do things smoothly. But we women are naturally weak, we still have to Rely on men, so pay attention on weekdays, don't be too strong, and life will be easier. There are good and bad men in the world, but there are few who don't steal. If you work hard with him for half your life, there will always be someone who is younger and more delicate. Pick the fruit. As long as it doesn't affect your status, let him go, out of sight and out of mind, the most important thing is to feel comfortable."

The dispute over right and wrong experience among women is silent but ubiquitous.Inadvertently, Mrs. Feng gave Lu Weimang a lesson, and the two of them were talking while walking up the mountain.Under the shade of the trees in the mountains, the cool breeze was blowing, the two walked in a regular and comfortable manner, and looked very harmonious from the back, but they didn't know that there seemed to be sparks bursting out between the two of them talking and laughing softly.

"Sister, I don't know what mother was talking about with Ms. Lu. She seemed very speculative. She forgot to say hello to us and went up the mountain by herself. My mother usually calls me a slippery pole, but I won't call her today." The young lady asked her eldest sister innocently, but the eldest sister sensed that the atmosphere of the two people in front of them seemed not so harmonious from the few words that floated over, such as "stealing" and "accepting concubines".

"Madam Feng is well-informed, so I can empathize with her. Maybe I'm too young to understand Madam Feng's experience and thoughtfulness." Faced with Madam Feng's experience talk, Lu Weimang didn't want to argue with her any longer.Arguing about some things is fruitless. Everyone has different perceptions, so there is no need to spend more time with people who have different views.

Lu Weimang was not interested in talking about ideas with the lady who met for the first time, so he said it lightly, wanting to end the topic.

But when people get along with others, when they don't deliberately flatter them, the attitude revealed by their tone and demeanor will be easily noticed by the people in front of them.

Therefore, Lu Weimang's indifferent attitude seemed to stab Mrs. Feng inadvertently. Mrs. Feng's blood boiled for a while, and she couldn't help saying, "The scenery of the capital is pleasant and magnificent, which can be seen from Ms. Lu. But this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, It's not as bright as in the capital. Many high-spirited young men have stayed in this rich place for a long time, and they have been subtly infected, and they can't relax. Ms. Lu just came here, and she may not know the sluggishness of this rich place. It's amazing."

Lu Weimang felt happy in his heart, he didn't know which part of Madam Feng's inverse scales he had touched, why people like Madam Feng were so relentless, but this is also a good thing, no matter if he is angry or angry, he always speaks sincerity So Lu Weimang followed Mrs. Feng's words and said, "Oh? I don't know what is the decadent air in this rich land?"

Mrs. Feng took a deep look at Lu Weimang, "It stands to reason that such dirty things shouldn't pollute Miss Lu's ears, but since we've come this far, if I don't tell Miss Lu thoroughly, in case something happens in the future If there is any situation, Ms. Lu can't blame me."

Lu Weimang looked at Mrs. Feng, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Miss Lu is not a little lady in the deep boudoir. She must have been studying and going to the government all the year round, and she has heard of the place of fireworks. Let's not talk about those whores, but talk about the top boys who are waiting for their families to fall into prostitution. , but so many literati, scholars, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen flock to them. Those top cards are talented, weak and rich, and have a tortuous life experience, which makes men feel distressed and worried about them. If the rules in the family are not strict, or the top cards are clever, accept Entering the mansion is also a common thing, presumably Ms. Lu has heard of such "elegant things" about saving women in distress, right?"

Lu Weimang smiled, "Of course I've heard the stories about the young men and benefactors, but most of them are scholars, and there are very few such rumors about respectable families in Beijing."

Mrs. Feng said with distant eyes, "Master and I also stayed in Kyoto for a while back then. The atmosphere in Kyoto is indeed different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. However, it's just Kyoto. In this fertile land, there is no such atmosphere. In Here, it is an elegant thing to accept the top card. Which household does not have one or two concubines that can be sold? The horse, it is said that it was passed down from the previous dynasty. Its delicate appearance, we women can't bear to speak loudly after seeing it, and it makes the officials and rich businessmen who hang around Yangzhou flock to it. Miss Lu and Huohou come to Yangzhou. Just leave in a few days, if you linger for a month or two, you have to be careful. Even Huo Hou cleans himself up, but the officials of Yangzhou City tried their best, either by arranging chance encounters, or by being a hero to save the beauty Let the play be given to Huo Hou, when the time comes, the beauty Qianqian will be lonely and helpless, even if he knows someone is behind the show, Huo Hou probably won't bear to let the beauty fall into dust and fall into danger, right?"

After listening to Mrs. Feng's words, Lu Weimang substituted it in. If he was a man, and he happened to meet a fragile beauty with transparent skin in the street, and was bullied by a vicious bully, he probably couldn't help but step forward to help.Then after beating the bully away, the beauty wept, came forward to thank her, and told about her miserable life experience, and then fell into a coma.

Maybe I didn't have any other thoughts at first, just out of politeness and morality, but after getting along with each other a little bit, that beauty is all about you, and you are the only one who can rely on you in the whole world, "I am alone and have no one to rely on , I just wish to stay with the young master, that is, to be a slave and a maidservant, just asking for a place to live, isn’t it also possible?” Facing the tearful request in the beauty’s eyes, Lu Weimang felt that even a man would not reject.

Thinking of the scenes that have appeared countless times in this storybook, and imagining the possible dialogue plots, Lu Weimang couldn't help but smile.

Mrs. Feng beside Lu Weimang was a little puzzled by Lu Weimang's smile.Obviously just now Lu Weimang had a serious face, as if thinking about the situation she just mentioned, why did he burst out laughing in the blink of an eye?

For a woman like Lu Weimang from a humble background who was lucky enough to achieve a little achievement, being married by His Majesty to Huo Hou, a fiancé who is hard to find in the world, I can't be too nervous.

I deliberately said that the ethos of this place in the south of the Yangtze River is slightly exaggerated, but it is absolutely true.A woman like Lu Weimang who values ​​her fiancé, not to mention the chaos, must be nervous and at a loss.

Mrs. Feng waited for Lu Weimang to be anxious and overwhelmed, comforted him, offered advice, and got closer to Lu Weimang.However, Lu Weimang's unreasonable playing of cards made it difficult for her to speak next.

So Mrs. Feng asked tentatively, "Aren't Miss Lu worried?"

Lu Weimang suppressed the smile on his face, and lowered his voice, "Of course I'm worried. But who doesn't expect to be a couple with her husband for the rest of their lives? But some things happen as they happen, not just expecting."

After hearing Lu Weimang's "normal" words, Mrs. Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, there's no way this man isn't stealthy, so we girls need to be prepared in advance."

Lu Weimang turned his head and looked at Mrs. Feng, his black and white eyes were as pure as gemstones, "How do you prepare?"

Mrs. Feng looked dazed at Lu Weimang's eyes, but continued according to the plan in her heart, "Let's prepare candidates ourselves, which is better than those who are deeply scheming and don't know their roots."

Lu Weimang was amused, but remained calm, "Oh, do you have any recommendations? After all, whether it is the top card or the Yangzhou skinny horse, they are all top-notch people who are selected by thousands of people. Where can I find someone to fight against them? Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Feng looked at Lu Weimang's pure eyes and innocent expression of ignorance of worldly affairs. Although she felt something was wrong in her heart, she continued, "At the end of the month, there will be a flower banquet in the courtyard of the Cai family, a salt merchant. Miss Lu can go and have a look. .”

Lu Weimang nodded, "When the time comes, you have to see and see."
