Chapter 116 Chestnuts
"Grandmother is a very talkative person, it's not difficult to arrange people with her..." Lu Shuyi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I can handle this matter." She blinked and hesitated: "Just But how will your people follow me back? Now or when?"

This matter is a bit difficult, as an unmarried girl, how can she bring a strange man back with her?

Huo Tianyou grabbed a handful of roasted chestnuts and came over, while peeling the shells, he said: "You don't need to bring people back to Lu's residence, I have already arranged for these people in a Zhouji rice shop in the town, you just need to find a way to let your grandmother Just take it from Zhouji Rice and Grain Shop." After a pause, he laughed again: "Of course, the price your grandmother can give you as much as you want."

Isn't this a free gift?

Lu Shuyi flattened her mouth unobtrusively, blinked her eyes and said, "Is it worth a tael of silver?" As she spoke, she deliberately took out a large silver coin from her purse, and said with a smile, "This is my mother's [-]th year. Is it enough to reward me with the lucky money?"

Huo Tianyou was amused by her behavior and couldn't stop laughing for a long time: "I see that this silver pruner is worth one or two taels, so should I give you a few pennies for the excess?"

"I'll treat you to a drink if it's extra..." Lu Shuyi also pursed her lips and smiled.

The atmosphere between the two was very relaxed, as if they had been friends for many years.

"The shopkeeper of Zhouji rice grain is called Zhang Shun, and the two guys are Zhou Lin and Liao Hu. They are all people I cultivated secretly. You can use them with confidence. Of course, how to use people should be used in that place, I think. You should be clear." Huo Tianyou smiled, and handed the peeled chestnuts to Lu Shuyi: "Try it, is it better than the ones sold outside?"

Lu Shuyi was taken aback, she grew up so big, no one except her mother had ever shelled chestnuts for her.

The young man in front of him had bright eyes, a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and pouted at her: "Try it quickly...it hurts to peel this hand." The following sentence was very light, but his eyes were very bright.

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips, feeling confused and indescribable in her heart.

It's like being pampered by someone, and it's like being held up by someone...

Is that right?Maybe he does that to everyone!

Huo Tianyou raised his eyebrows and urged: "Take it quickly, if you don't take the chestnuts, they will be cold." He muttered like a chatterbox: "Hot chestnuts are delicious, but when they are cold, they will lose their sweetness. Moji will be cold..."

Lu Shuyi stretched out her hand to take the chestnuts. The chestnut shells were peeled clean and still warm, she lowered her head and bit into it, sweet and sweet.

"Isn't it very sweet?" Huo Tianyou also peeled one and put it in his mouth. He ate Xiangsiwen, swallowed it, and said slowly: "You go back and make arrangements for the people first. Believe me. This person is smart, and if you have something you can’t do normally, you can also consult with him.”

"Okay." Lu Shuyi swallowed the chestnut and replied, "Aside from this, is there anything else?"

Huo Tianyou shook his head, his lips parted, he peeled another chestnut and handed it to her with a sullen head, and said slowly: "The matter of Qian Jianchang... The Qian family will use any means, so you have to be careful."

"I see." Lu Shuyi answered with a pinch of chestnuts, thinking about what Mr. Bai told him about the Huo family in her previous life.

If I remember correctly, after the Lantern Festival, Huo Tianyou's father will receive a military report to lead the army to Yanmen Pass to fight against the Liao Dynasty. This battle will last for a year. At this time next year, Dingbeihou will return with great victory , the emperor will also reward the Huo family, and there will be a wave of flattery among the ruling and opposition parties.

And Empress Dowager He will also betroth her niece to Huo Tianyou's eldest brother, in order to win over the Huo family, why Empress Dowager He will serve...

What else is there besides these?
Lu Shuyi thought about it carefully. In her previous life, Mr. Bai seldom talked about the Huo family, and she knew that there were not many things about the Huo family.

It seems that she can't do it if she wants to mention Huo Tianyou. This is also because her past life is useless, she doesn't care about any big things, it would be great if she knew something about the Huo family...

Huo Tianyou didn't know what she was thinking, so he raised his hand and patted the brocade clothes on his body, stood up and said, "You have been out for a while, go back quickly."

That's right, Lu Shuyi came to her senses, it's been half an hour since she went down the mountain, is it Lu Shujuan and the others looking for her?

"Then I'll go back first, thank you Second Young Master for your hospitality." Lu Shuyi got up and saluted with a smile.

It's a treat, but it's actually a cup of tea, a bunch of baked pancakes and two chestnuts...

But what she ate today was indeed the most delicious thing she had ever eaten.

The sweetness of the chestnuts still lingered on her cheeks, she pulled the strap of the cloak, Huo Tianyou had already opened the secret door, stood at the door and looked at her quietly: "I won't be able to come to you on the Lantern Festival, It is extremely difficult to come out this time, I will stay in the Hou Mansion during the Shangyuan Festival."

Lu Shuyi was taken aback, did he still want to spend the Lantern Festival with her?

Although she is not as good as Ji, she also knows the significance of celebrating the Lantern Festival together for men and women.

Does he mean that?

No, how is it possible.

One is the noble son of the Hou family, and the other is the young lady of the merchant's family. Although they are both rich and honored, the status cannot be overridden.

It's ridiculous, it's really disturbing to eat two chestnuts.

Lu Shuyi immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand. If I have something to do, I will find Li Ping'an, don't worry." When she walked out of the secret door, she said: "The three of you, after I make arrangements , I will let Li Pingan tell you."

Huo Tianyou nodded, closed the secret door casually, followed behind Lu Shuyi and said, "Remember, don't do things you are not sure about. The most indispensable thing in this world is impulsiveness and blindness."

He was afraid that Lu Shuyi would confront Aunt An on impulse. Although he didn't fight women, he also knew that women who offended her were the scariest.

If you can't kill with one blow, then don't get angry, otherwise both sides will suffer, even if you win, it doesn't make much sense.

Think about it carefully, over the years, isn't that how he himself came here?
Lu Shuyi understood what he meant, her father had never told her such a thing, and only Mr. Bai would have said that to her in her previous life.

She nodded heavily, not wanting to disappoint Huo Tianyou's kindness.

"This flower..." Lu Shuyi casually picked up the red plums on the table. The flowers were still in bloom, and the branches he chose were also very charming. Her eyes moved slightly, and she smiled and said, "If I take it away, the second son Don't you mind?"

Huo Tianyou was taken aback.

Didn't you say no?

Didn't you say you don't like flowers?

A woman's mind is really unfathomable, and she may change her temperament at any time, leaving you confused.

Although it is hard to guess what a girl is thinking, she finally accepted Hua.

The corners of Huo Tianyou's mouth were raised slightly, warm and unobtrusive, the corner of his eyes fell on the few crimson and withered petals on the floor, he clicked his tongue and said, "It's a pity that I tried too hard, such a beautiful flower... When we meet again next time, I will send a better one than this one."

Another promise, before he knew it, he made another promise to her.

His precious promises that he refused to make easily were promised to the girl in front of him one after another.

Will you promise anything else in the future?
Will you maybe let yourself in?

Huo Tianyou's heart tightened bit by bit, and he fixedly looked at Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi took the flowers and smiled: "Then I'm leaving."

Turning around, Huo Tianyou spit out two words softly: "Goodbye..."

He looked at her gentle steps and straight figure, standing in the wind and murmured: "'Goodbye' can be regarded as a promise..."

The red plum in her hand exudes a long and delicate fragrance, and the tender yellow stamens are blooming delicately. Lu Shuyi asked Mo Ju: "How many days can this flower live in a bottle?"

Mo Ju thought for a while and said, "It's half a month at most, and six or seven days at least."

"It's only half a month..." Lu Shuyi pursed her lips, feeling that the plum blossom period was so short for the first time.

How long is long?
half a year?

Still a year?
She smiled lightly, laughing at why she was so stupid all of a sudden, it's just a flower, it can bloom as long as it can, and throw it away if it fails.

But I always feel that it's a pity to throw it away. How about collecting the petals and drying them to make a sachet when they bloom?
"How about making it into a sachet? Are these petals enough?" Lu Shuyi asked again inexplicably.

Dongmei and Mo Ju stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Miss San, what's wrong?
When I came out of that room, I held a plum blossom and never let go, and now I asked some weird and messy questions. I never saw her like plum blossoms so much before...

Weird, really weird.

As soon as Lu Shuyi regained her senses, she met Dongmei's surprised and suspicious gaze.

It must be that she was too ignorant, Lu Shuyi coughed lightly, and handed the flowers to Mo Ju: "When we get to the pavilion, if someone asks why we went back, just say we went to see the red plums, the red plums are blooming Great, I forgot the time for a moment.”

I went to see the red plums, and I happened to fold another one, which was a good reason.

Mo Ju took Hongmei and responded.

Lu Shuyi said worriedly: "The petals are fragile, be careful, don't touch them."

Mo Ju smiled wryly, what kind of red plum is that, it is clearly the untouchable baby bump.

Dongmei pursed her lips and looked at Mo Ju, then lightly pushed Mo Ju's arm, smiled and said in a low voice, "It must have been given by Mr. Huo..."

Mo Ju immediately shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense..."

"She's not talking nonsense. This red plum indeed belongs to Mr. Huo Er, but...it's not from him, but from me." Lu Shuyi recognized it openly, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and said lightly: "I I tell you because I trust you, and the second is because the relationship between me and Mr. Huo Er is not what you think." At the end, I did not forget to warn: "Remember, don't tell what happened today, whether it is right or wrong No one can mention a single word."

This matter is related to her and Huo Tianyou's innocence. Although she and Huo Tianyou are both innocent, but their mouths are on other people's bodies, who knows if they will say anything nasty.

She has learned deeply about these four words in her previous life, and she doesn't want to hurt Huo Tianyou because of this matter.

Although she really hated Huo Tianyou before, but now this disgusting feeling has gradually disappeared...

Mo Ju and Dongmei also knew the seriousness of this matter, they both nodded in unison.
