Chapter 115 Resolving Confusion ([-]rd)
"Then what should I do? Can I just watch?" Lu Shuyi's voice rose suddenly, and she squeezed tightly the wire with the pancakes in her hand with red eyes.The thick and thin iron wire of the bamboo stick was pinched between the little girl's white and tender fingers, which looked particularly abrupt.

She bit her lips and said: "My mother is weak and doesn't like to argue with others. My younger brother and sister are young and ignorant. Aunt An is ambitious and wants to kill my mother. She can replace her... And I, even if I know Aunt An I can't do anything because of my filthiness..." Speaking of this, Lu Shuyi only felt extremely sad, her chest felt stagnant, and two lines of tears almost fell from the corners of her eyes.

When the tears were about to fall, she hurriedly lowered her eyes to stare at the pancake in her hand. How can a girl's tears be seen by a man who is not a relative?Even if she cried, she had to bear it back and cry again.

A burst of anger suddenly burst out in his bones, and he suppressed his tears back.

Huo Tianyou is such a perceptive person, even though Lu Shuyi concealed it very well, he still saw the sparkle in her eyes.

He has only seen one woman shed tears since he was a child, and that woman is his mother.

In the dark night, his mother embraced the brand-new brocade quilt and looked at his face silently. With his eyes closed, his mother thought he was fast asleep, and then he felt the warm liquid drop by drop on his neck. Suddenly, my mother whispered sadly in my ear: "Son, if I didn't have you, how could I be trapped in this cage..."

He was just five years old then...

From then on, he knew that the Hou's mansion was his mother's cage, and when he grew up, he also knew that his mother never had a father in his heart, and his father's heart only had the late Mrs. Dahou. A victim of power.

what is homewhat is love?He thought he would never understand it in his life, and he didn't want to understand it.

But the girl in front of her cried so forbearably for her family and for the people she guarded. She swallowed the tears that she could shed.

Are tears salty or bitter?

My heart suddenly throbbed, and something called pity protruded from my heart, a weak branch, but it took root and sprouted so stubbornly.

"Don't cry." He clumsily tried to reach out his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, but found that her head was lowered, and her big fan-like hands were just so empty and frozen in mid-air, neither falling nor falling. .

There was a silence in the air.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance to uproot Aunt An in the future, your mother and your siblings will be fine, don't worry."

Huo Tianyou put down his hand hanging in mid-air to comfort Lu Shuyi like this, he used two words of reassurance in succession, these two words were infused with his promise.

Lu Shuyi swallowed her tears, raised her eyes and forced a smile: "Yes, I will try my best to protect my family."

The red eye circles clearly looked like they had been crying, Huo Tianyou pretended not to notice, smiled relaxedly, and said, "Is there someone from the Qian family in Ji County?"

Lu Shuyi restrained her sad emotions and nodded: "My elder sister and elder brother-in-law are here to celebrate the New Year." After thinking for a while, she said: "By the way, my elder brother-in-law also brought his two cousins, saying that they are from the Qian family. Second room."

The Qian family is one of the most powerful families in Ji County, with a prosperous population and many sources of income.In addition to salt wells, they also do other businesses, and almost all walks of life have their Qian family's land.

The pine nuts covered by the wire crackled, and Huo Tianyou hurriedly stood up and poured the roasted nuts on the stone table to cool, then turned around and said, "They came to your Lu's house, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

inappropriate?

Lu Shuyi blinked, did Huo Tianyou know the purpose of the Qian family's trip?

She was struggling in her heart, how should she speak?You can't say that Qian Jianchang wants to marry her, can you?
However, Huo Tianyou blurted out directly: "Has Qian Jianchang proposed marriage to your father?"

Sure enough, he knew the purpose of the Qian family.

Now that Huo Tianyou said it, she felt a lot more relaxed, and admitted openly: "Yes, my eldest sister has asked my eldest aunt to propose marriage to my mother, but my mother did not agree."

Huo Tianyou looked solemn, nodded and said: "It's fine if you don't agree, Qian Jianchang is not a kind person, and he wants to marry you not because of your intentions, but for another purpose." He sat back on the stone bench again, and asked slowly He asked, "Did someone from Pan's family visit your Lu residence a few years ago?"

Lu Shuyi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered that when she came back from Yizhou Su's house, Pan'er had reported that Mrs. Pan's family had visited Lu's house, and Aunt An had personally gone to see Mrs. Pan. What's wrong with it?
"Mrs. Pan came here once." Lu Shuyi's eyes flashed with doubts: "Auntie An also met Mrs. Pan. Could it be that the marriage proposal has something to do with them?"

There are too many inside stories and things that Lu Shuyi didn't know about in her previous life. Even if she lives a new life, her eyes still seem to be covered by a layer of fog and she can't see clearly.

Huo Tianyou is the breeze that blows away the mist at this moment, and Mr. Bai in the previous life is not like this, he always solves the doubts in her heart when she is most confused.

But why in her previous life had she never heard a single word from Huo Tianyou from Mr. Bai?
Lu Shuyi thought, aren't the two of them master and servant?Why didn't Mr. Bai mention Huo Tianyou?

Huo Tianyou didn't know what Lu Shuyi was thinking at all, and said, "A few days ago, I got news that the Pan family wanted to open salt wells with the Qian family in Changping, Yanzhou, and Yongzhou. They wanted to invite your Lu family to do the same."

Changping is in Juyongguan, Yanzhou is the top priority in Shandong, and Yongzhou is a fortress in the northwest frontier. These places have always been military important places. They want to open salt wells in these places...

Lu Shuyi suddenly took a deep breath, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Is the opening of the salt well related to the rebellion of Huainan King Liu Su?

But in her impression, the Qian family did not participate in Liu Su's rebellion in the previous life?After Liu Su's death, the Qian family didn't suffer any harm, they just discarded a few salt wells.

Salt well?

The salt wells discarded by the Qian family were jointly opened with their Lu family. Where are these salt wells located?
Lu Shuyi was a little anxious, she was too careless in her previous life, she didn't care about these things at all, even if she tried to think about it, she couldn't think of the specific locations of those salt wells.

She always thought that the Lu family would be charged with treason because the third master Lu got acquainted with Huainan Wang and secretly provided the Lu family with iron. Now it seems that there is also a problem with opening the salt well.

Where is the problem?Could it be that there is something inside that she doesn't know about?
In the previous life, it was obviously only the Lu family and the Qian family who opened the salt well, so why did they get involved with the Pan family again?

The Pan family is a wealthy family that has only emerged in recent years. What role did he play in Liu Su's rebellion?Or, does the defeat of the Lu family in the previous life have anything to do with the Pan family?

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and pondered, but her eyes looked at Huo Tianyou suspiciously.

Huo Tianyou got up and stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes quietly fell on her, and he said slowly: "The three places I mentioned just now are all important military places, and Yanzhou is also the jurisdiction of our Huo Family Army. If we open salt wells in such places, Its intentions have to make me suspicious."

Lu Shuyi didn't speak, just listened quietly, and Huo Tianyou said again: "The news I got is that the Pan family wanted to recruit your Lu family into the team at first, but your grandfather didn't agree. Later, your aunt suggested that the Pan family persuade Ji County first. The Qian family, let the Qian family persuade your Lu family. Because the Qian family is engaged in the business of opening salt wells, and it is also your Lu family's in-laws, it will be easier to persuade. And this marriage proposal can strengthen the The in-law relationship between the Qian family and the Lu family, and secondly, if the two families cooperate, they will be more trustworthy because of this level of in-law relationship... As for how the Pan family persuaded the Qian family... there are people who love money in this world There are too many, and your eldest brother-in-law is a person who loves money very much."

Lu Shuyi blushed when she heard this.

It was Aunt An again, she really racked her brains to get rid of her.Get her away so you can manipulate your mother?The mother left at the mercy of her, so she justified herself as the mistress?

Lu Shuyi smiled coldly: "Then the matter of proposing marriage was also written by Aunt An?"

"Not exactly." Huo Tianyou smiled lightly, with a hint of amusement in the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Does your eldest sister have a real sister?"

"Yes." Lu Shuyi raised her eyebrows: "This has something to do with her too?"

"This is also what I find fun." Huo Tianyou said with a smile: "My eyeliner told me that your eldest sister received a letter in the twelfth lunar month..."

"Lu Shuqi, damn it." Lu Shuyi didn't wait for Huo Tianyou to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted him with raised eyebrows. She could guess the content of the letter without saying anything.

For the sake of Su Ziwen, Lu Shuqi was trying her best to get her married earlier.

First it was He Tai, now it is Qian Jianchang...

Who will be next?

Does it mean that as long as she doesn't marry, Lu Shuqi will keep stuffing her with men endlessly?

Lu Shuyi's heart burst into flames, who are these people?Is it family?Obviously the devil.

The clenched fist was squeezed again and again, and the fingers ached.

"So the impossibility you mentioned at the beginning refers to the Qian family's marriage proposal?" Lu Shuyi's voice was a little softer. A woman who has not yet reached the age and has not yet engaged is talking about marriage with a man with a different surname. She always feels that something is wrong. ,strange.

Huo Tianyou smiled and spread his hands: "This matter is your Lu family's business, how can I, an outsider, intervene?"

Of course, it's not impossible for him to intervene if he wants to. When it comes to the point where he has to intervene, he can only have the cheek to propose marriage to the old lady of the Lu family.

Compared with Qian Jianchang, he should be more in line with Lu Shuyi's grandfather's wishes.

This kind of thought was only fleeting, and his feelings for Lu Shuyi were not enough to go to the point of contending with the family for her.Of course, he doesn't know what will happen in the future. If he really reaches that point, will he compete with the family?

he does not know……

"Oh... this matter, this matter, I will find a way." Lu Shuyi's ears were hot, she stroked her fingers one by one, and pursed her lips: "Apart from these, what else can I do for you?"

This sentence showed her attitude, she wanted to cooperate with Huo Tianyou.

Huo Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize: "It's not that difficult. I have a few people here. You arrange them in the grain shop of your grandfather's house first, and they will help the Wu family to make a comeback."

The Wu family can compete with the Pan family when they stand up, and the Huo family can also provide multiple helpers at multiple levels, so that they will not be swayed by the Pan family in the future.

　It's three o'clock, sisters, happy women's day.

　　Finally, I recommend my friend Snow Goblin's work "Baiweiji", which is about gourmet food.
