Red apricots make spring

Chapter 183
Xu Xiucai caught a passerby and asked about Lu Ce's residence, then walked all the way to the front of the Lu residence.I thought that I would be immediately invited into the mansion to have a talk after reporting my intention, but who would have thought that as soon as he asked to see Lu Ce with a smile, he was interrupted by the guard at the gate: "My master hasn't come back yet, you can wait another day." Come again!"

Xu Xiucai felt that this was an excuse, so he went to feel for the money in his purse, but after searching for a long time, he only came up with ten copper coins, and was about to stuff it into the servant's hand to let him be accommodating, when he saw the servant suddenly smiled at him.

Xu Xiucai was puzzled, but he couldn't help but smile back stupidly. At this moment, he heard someone behind him ask, "Has Master come back yet?"

"Not yet!" Jia Ding replied respectfully.

Only then did Xu Xiucai realize that he was not smiling at him!When he turned his head again, he saw a handsome young man dressed in green cloth, who walked up to him and glanced sideways at him, then walked across the threshold and went inside.

Presumably Master Lu was really not at home, Xu Xiucai had no choice but to put the copper money back into his purse resentfully, turned around and went back.

Lue followed him all the way, bypassed several alleys, and watched him enter an inn named Fulai from a distance.After waiting for a while, he didn't come out, so he hurried back and reported the matter to Shen Mengyi.

Shen Mengyi was sitting in the room playing the piano, and Hongrui standing beside her was holding an emerald ruyi ear incense burner, and curling smoke from the burner filled the room with a sweet fragrance.

Lue quietly lifted the curtain and came in, seeing her hands pause, she immediately played a wrong note.

A man in a long bamboo gown sitting opposite Shen Mengyi said softly: "If you are restless, your voice will not be correct."

Shen Mengyi frowned, and continued to play, who wanted to make mistakes again and again, so she sighed and stopped, raised her eyes and asked: "Has the scholar entered the Lu residence?"

"No." Lue shook her head and said, "I saw him talking to the servant at the door, and then Yun Dan went back, and he left. I followed him all the way to the door of the Fulai Inn, and I didn't see him coming out after a while. I'm back."

Shen Mengyi was silent for a while, then said to her: "Go and rest for a while."

Seeing that Lue retreated, Shen Mengyi tried her best to concentrate, started to play again, the man stood up and said: "Let's stop here today, you are restless, playing more is useless."

Shen Mengyi sighed, retreated to Hongrui, looked up at him, and said after a while, "Help me one more time." Her words were full of helplessness, and there was also a hint of pleading.

The man pondered for a while, then stood with his hands behind his back and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Shen Mengyi gritted her teeth, lowered her eyes and said: "Go to Yunzhou, find a way to marry her, and then take her elsewhere, the farther the better!"

"I may not be able to do this." The man shook his head slightly.

"As long as you try your best, you're [-]% to [-]% sure, right?" Shen Mengyi's words became more pleading, and her eyes even sparkled when she raised her eyes again, "Even if you can't marry her, you can't get married with her." Be intimate, it can always be done, right?"

"You really—" the man stopped talking, looked at Shen Mengyi for a while, and said with a sigh: "Okay, I promise you."

"Really?!" Shen Mengyi raised her face with obvious joy.

The man turned his back, stopped looking at her, and sighed softly: "You know I can never refuse you."

After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out slowly without looking back.

Shen Mengyi watched the crystal curtain shake until it stopped.

She didn't want to do this either, but what Xu Xiucai said shocked her too much.Gentleness occupies a certain place in Lu Ce's heart. She knows this, but she always feels that since Wenrou is dead, everything will disappear. She should try to let Lu Ce slowly accept herself and forget gentleness.Who would have thought that just when she was resolutely carrying out her own ideas, God suddenly threw a thunderbolt at her head, telling her that gentleness is not dead!

not dead!All those things could happen, and she had to take precautions!Regardless of why Lu Ce likes tenderness, whether it's a momentary infatuation or a sincere relationship, she doesn't want to see this woman appear in front of Lu Ce again!
Shen Mengyi raised her hand to press on the strings, swiping her fingers quickly, but after playing for a short time, the strings broke with a "ding".

She stood up and shouted out: "Hongrui! Take this piano and burn it!"

Xu Xiucai then went to the Lu residence twice, but each time he didn't see Lu Ce, causing the servant to wave his hand as soon as he saw him, saying, "Your master is not here, you can go back."

It wasn't until the third time that Lu Ce was finally here, and when he heard a scribe Xu from Yunzhou begging to see him outside, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said "please".

Yun Dan murmured beside him: "Master, this person has been here several times, is there something wrong with Yunzhou?"

Lu Ce picked up his teacup and thought for a while, "Listen to him."

While the two were talking, Xu Xiucai was brought to the hall. Seeing Lu Ce, he immediately went up to greet Lu Ce and saluted, and muttered, "Lord Lu, I've seen you." Seeing Yun Dan standing beside him, he recognized the boy in civilian clothes he had seen outside the door the other day, and knowing that it was Lu Ce's personal companion, he also cupped his hands at him and smiled.

What Xu Xiucai said was nondescript, Lu Ce didn't care, he just said indifferently: "Now I stop serving and thinking at home, I can't bear the title of an adult. Sit down, what do you want from me?"

"I—" Xu Xiucai carefully put half of his buttocks on the chair, turned slightly and said, "Excuse me, is there a lost concubine in the mansion?"

When he said this, not only Yun Dan, but even Lu Ce frowned in surprise.

"How do you say that?" The astonishment on Lu Ce's face flashed, and then he returned to his indifferent look.

Xu Xiucai keenly caught the strange look on his face, and thought that he didn't want to show his family ugliness, so he smiled awkwardly and said hesitantly: "It stands to reason that I don't have the right to talk about your lord's housework. It's just that I happened to know where the concubine of your family is hiding, and I was afraid that the adults would worry about it, so I rushed over to tell you."

Lu Ce sized him up and said slowly, "Where is this person you mentioned?"

"It's in Yunzhou!" Xu Xiucai laughed and said, "She even changed her name to Wen Xin!"

As he said that, he also told Wenrou's residence in Yunzhou and the things he was with Ye Yu one by one.

This time Lu Ce was mentally prepared, so he wasn't very surprised. He just looked at Xu Xiucai in silence, but Yun Dan beside him froze, and blurted out the questioning words. Fortunately, he endured it in the end. go back.

Seeing that Lu Ce was silent, Xu Xiucai still didn't feel that there was anything wrong. He just thought that he had some concerns, so he pondered for a while and then smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I'll take care of you when I get out of this mansion." I have completely forgotten about this matter, and I will never leak half a word outside."

At this time, Xizhu hurried in with a wax-sealed letter in his hand, and after handing it to Lu Ce, he whispered a few more words in his ear.Lu Ce nodded slightly, said "wait a moment" to Xu Xiucai, opened the letter and read it, the more he looked at it, the tighter his lips were, and finally he stared at the letter for a while before putting the letter back into the envelope He handed it to Xizhu and said, "Take it and burn it."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to stare at Xu Xiucai again, his eyes were deep and incomprehensible, and Xu Xiucai couldn't sit still, he lowered his head more and more, and then he said in a deep voice: "I know what you said. Are you working as a clerk under Mo Wanjiang?"

Xu Xiucai thought it was Lu Ce who wanted to promote him, and immediately showed a look of joy on his face, and said without a word: "Yes, that's right! Lord Mo appreciates me..."

Lu Ce raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "This is just right, I have a letter, I want you to take it back for me and hand it to Mo Wanjiang, I wonder if you would like it?"

Bring a letter?Aren't you going to promote him?Xu Xiucai was a little disappointed, but still nodded and said, "It's my wish to do things for you."

"That's good." Lu Ce told Yun Dan, "Bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

When Yun Dan picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Lu Ce picked up the pen and thought for a while, then began to write on the letter paper.

Xu Xiucai sat there, staring straight at his neck for a long time, but he was too far away to see anything clearly, and even glared at Yun Dan, so he could only withdraw his gaze embarrassingly, and continued to sit and wait anxiously.

After Lu Ce finished writing the letter, he stamped it with a small seal, and put it on the table until the ink was dry, then folded it and stuffed it into the envelope. After sealing it with wax paint, he wrote on the envelope, "From Prefect Mo" These five big characters were then handed over to Yun Dan and handed over to Xu Xiucai.
