Red apricots make spring

Chapter 226
When the two left the main hall, seeing no one around, they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled again.

Under the sun, Lu Ce saw Wen Wen's eyes shining brightly, and couldn't help but embrace her, wanting to kiss her lightly on the eyelids.Who would have thought that as soon as he lowered his head, Xi Zhu hurried over.

"Father-"

Seeing Lu Ce's ambiguous scene with Wen Rou, Xizhu felt embarrassed, and even forgot the reason for his visit until Lu Ce asked him, then lowered his head and said: "Madam's house is tidy, and the clean water for bathing is also prepared. gone."

"I..." Ruan Wen hesitated and said, "Do you really want to live here?"

Do as the Romans do, the ancients took marriage seriously, although the emperor agreed to the marriage, but the two of them have not yet married, so it seems inappropriate to live in the Lu Mansion right now.

"My lord refused to marry the princess, so my lord took back the Hanlin mansion that was originally given to me in a fit of anger." Before Lu Ce could answer, Xizhu had already snatched up: "My lord's new house in the east of the city has not yet All right, madam should stay at the mansion for two days, and then move out to live after the old madam goes to Beijing and agrees on the date of the wedding."

The word "Old Madam" reminded Ruan Rou that just now in the carriage, Lu Ce once said that he had notified Yun Dan to pick up Mama Wen, Wen Gang, Xiaohuan and the others, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "I'm in Yunzhou. What about shops and restaurants?"

It was a business she had worked so hard to manage, and she really didn't want to give it up.

Lu Ce smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Yundan will arrange this matter."

"Yes, Ma'am, don't worry." Xi Zhu answered, "Yun Dan is different from the younger one. The younger one is in charge of running errands and delivering letters with the master, while Yun Dan is in charge of all the businesses under the name of the master. Some are shopkeepers and accountants of cooking shops, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Wen Rou looked at Lu Ce and felt relieved when he saw him nodding slightly.I thought to myself that there is really nothing he can't do except having a child.

The residence that Lu Ce arranged for Wenrou is called Wutong Pavilion, which is an extremely quiet place.

Ruan Wen walked into the yard, first smelled a faint fragrance at the end of her nose, and looked up and saw green eyes everywhere, but she couldn't see a flower tree, all the herbs planted in the yard were all kinds of unidentifiable herbs.On the moss-covered courtyard wall, vines and leaves are knotted, and there are several sycamore trees several feet high in the courtyard. When there is a slight wind, the light sound of salada can be heard all over the courtyard, just like the sound of nature.

"This place is good." She smiled softly, turned her head to look around, and decided that if she had the opportunity to move out in the future, she must build a courtyard like this. This is really a good place to study and drink tea under the moonlight.

"You like it here?" Lu Ce's voice concealed an imperceptible joy.

Wen Rou didn't care, squatting down to study a vanilla plant, and said with a smile: "This place is the best place to live in summer, once you walk in, you will feel cold all over your body, and your worldly worries will disappear!"

Lu Ce nodded and said, "My grandmother arranged this place by herself. In hot summer, she always likes to stay in this courtyard to cool off, and put a bamboo reclining chair under the tree over there." Under a sycamore tree, he patted the thick trunk with his hand, and sighed softly: "How many years have passed..."

Wen Rou followed with a sigh, walked to the chess table under the other two sycamore trees, touched a jade chess piece in the chess bowl, rubbed it lightly with her fingers, and said in a low voice: "When you say that, I think of it." My grandfather, he doesn't have many other hobbies, he likes to make a pot of tea when he is free, and go to the park to find someone to play two games of chess..."

Speaking of the word "park", Rourou was surprised that she had slipped her tongue, so she quickly covered her mouth and stopped talking.Luckily, Lu Ce was also immersed in his recollections, so he didn't listen carefully. Seeing her silent, he just thought she was tired, walked to her side, gently brushed the fallen leaves from her shoulders, and said with a faint smile, "You are in the sky prison. You must be tired after suffering these few days here, so let’s rest well, and I’ll come back to find you later.”

"Yeah." Nodding gently and submissively, she really felt dirty and tired, and wanted to take a bath and sleep peacefully.

Lu Ce ignored the two maidservants standing by in the courtyard, and gently pulled Wen Rou to his side. Before she could react, he gently hugged her, kissed her forehead, and paused for a while. Only then withdrew and left.

Wenrou came back to her senses, and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the two maidservants bowing their heads, with unconcealable smiles on their faces, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and stood still for a moment before turning around and walking into the house.

"Ma'am—" The two maidservants greeted her at this moment. Wenrou was not used to their overly respectful attitude, so she nodded hurriedly, signaling that they don't need to be too polite, and they don't want them to serve, just let them prepare After putting on clean clothes, I went to take a shower and change clothes by myself.

After washing her body refreshed, Gentle pulled her hair and came out, and saw that the two maidservants had already placed all kinds of exquisite pastries on the table.She only glanced at it, and couldn't help being surprised: "Where did you buy these dim sum?"

When the two maids asked, they looked at each other in dismay, shook their heads and replied: "Sister Qingru just brought this, I don't know."

Qingru?Maybe it's a maid's name, Wen Rou didn't care, picked up a snail soaked in butter, tasted it, and nodded silently.This smell is exactly made by Mei Xiang, it is slightly sweeter than hers, but it smells more intense.

Seeing her standing in a daze, the two maidservants did not dare to disturb her. They were busy spreading the quilt, lowering layers of veils, and rolling down the bamboo curtains on the window to block the sunlight, making the room dark. , then please gentle to take a lunch break.

Being in prison is a double torture of mind and body. Gentle was really exhausted. She lay down on a soft bed, closed her eyes and listened to the rustling of leaves outside the window, and fell asleep in a trance.

It was almost time to turn on the lights when I woke up, and the light in the room was very dim. I stretched my body gently, and before I woke up, I lay down and slowly recalled the things that happened in the past few days, with mixed feelings in my heart.She never thought that one day she would be able to stay together with Lu Ce, but after going through all kinds of things in the past, she was much more open-minded. Can't live happily ever after...

"Is madam awake?"

"I didn't hear anything, I'm afraid I'm exhausted and still asleep."

Wen Rou was lazily wandering in the sky, and suddenly heard the voices of the maidservants whispering outside the house, she cleared her throat unconsciously, and said loudly: "I'm awake, light the lamp."

A maidservant in Tsing Yi came in hurriedly after hearing the words, and after lighting the lamp, she hung up the bed curtain and said with a gentle smile: "I have asked you several times, I am afraid that Madam will be hungry, so I will send you some porridge Let’s feed my wife some food.”

Rourou sat up in her cloak, looked up and down the maidservant, saw that she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a very dexterous appearance, guessing in her heart that she was mentioned by the other two maidservants earlier Qing Ru nodded and asked, "Where's Master?"

The maid frowned slightly and said, "I was summoned by the master to give lectures in the study. I have been there for nearly half an hour. I am afraid that I will not be able to see my wife tonight. The master sent me to take care of me. What does the lady want to take? Just tell me."

As she said that, she smiled slightly and said, "I am Qing Ru, the servant girl who has been serving in my grandfather's house since I was a child. My master once said..."

Up to this point, she stopped talking, just lowered her head, waiting for Gentle to get up.

Gentle and slightly surprised: "What did the master say?"

The dim light couldn't hide the slight blush on Qing Ru's face, and Wen Wen could clearly see her shy and timid expression, and she couldn't help but understand a little bit.

"The master once said that when I was a little older, he would take me into the house and serve the master and his wife wholeheartedly..." After saying this, Qing Ru lowered her head even more, but she couldn't help sneaking out of the corner of her eyes. Looking at the expression on Wen Wen's face, it seemed to guess what she was thinking.

Wenrou really can't laugh or cry, how could she have imagined that before she actually married Lu Ce, there would already be someone who wanted to be a housemaid watching over her.But this Qingru was too impatient, the first time I saw her, I was so anxious to confide my thoughts in less than a few words, do you want her to nod her head in agreement?

Qing Ruyuan served Lu Ce's side for a few years. If you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. It is reasonable to act in a proper way, and she should not be so reckless. To get gentle joy, it is the best policy to take it slowly.It's just that when Lu Ce came back today, she was watching the words and expressions, and found that Lu Ce seemed to have the idea of ​​sending out all the big maids in the room to match him. She was flustered and anxious, so she lost her sense of proportion. But like her, she is the daughter of a poor family, and she doesn't have any confidence and ideas, so she boldly confides her thoughts and comes to explore the gentle tone.

"As soon as Qingru saw Madam, she knew that Madam must be the most considerate and friendly person, but the affairs in this mansion are cumbersome and there are so many servants, it is inevitable that she will be a little tricky and eccentric. Madam will not be energetic when she enters the Lord's Mansion in the future. Cooking one by one? Qingru has finally stayed in the mansion for a few years, and has a little understanding of some things. She is willing to do a little bit for Madam, and I hope Madam will be successful!"

As Qingru said, she knelt down and kowtowed to Rourou.
