Yijia Yishi

Chapter 169
The arrival of Wang Xiu made Lu Shuyi really guess.

In the evening of that day, He Tai suddenly sent his servant Chang Shan to send a box of snacks.

Lu Shuyi didn't dare to accept it, so she asked Mo Ju to ask Ming Chang Shan if everyone had the dim sum or if she was the only one.

After all, there are many people with mixed mouths. If she is the only one who has it, she will become the target of public criticism.

Chang Shan replied that several young ladies from the Lu family had them, so she told Mo Ju to take them away with peace of mind, and rewarded Chang Shan with a handful of copper coins.

Chang Shan said to Mo Ju in a low voice: "You tell Third Miss that my young master personally picked this dessert, please make sure she tastes it."

Mo Ju immediately sensed the strangeness, and after sending Chang Shan away, she told Lu Shuyi what Chang Shan had said.

Lu Shuyi thought for a while, ordered Mo Ju to open the snack box, and said quietly: "Look carefully, and see if there is anything inside."

Mo Ju lowered her head and searched in the snack box, and found a small note folded into a square in the bottom layer of straw paper.

Mo Ju squeezed the note very nervously: "This..."

"Bring it here and show me." Lu Shuyi stretched out her hand to take the note, she glanced at it silently, and said to Mo Ju, "I'll go to the bank of the osmanthus and the moon."

He Tai must have something to say when he invited her to Guiheyue. Last time he said that he would help her solve Zhao Yong's matter, it seems that he has something to say.

Lu Shuyi got up and asked Mo Ju to bring the cloak over.

Mo Ju hesitated and said: "If others see it, I'm afraid there will be more gossip."

"Who said it was just me?" Lu Shuyi smiled, and went to look for Lu Shujing first, and then went to the gazebo by the osmanthus moon.

When Lu Shujing heard Lu Shuyi say that she was going to see He Tai, she was very unhappy, she pouted and said, "What do you have to say to him? Look at He Zhaoer's expression, I really hate it..."

Lu Shuyi didn't explain, she just coaxed her with a smile and said, "If something really happens, just help me once, okay?"

In the end, Lu Shujing thought for a long time before reluctantly agreeing to come down and accompany her to the bank of Guiheyue.

Today's weather is not too cold, the sky is clear and blue, and the cold wind blowing on the body is slightly cool.

He Tai was wearing a stone-blue cotton gown woven with a gold hundred-disc pattern, standing in the pavilion with a long body and a high spirit.

Lu Shuyi took Lu Shujing to say hello to He Tai first, but seeing no one around, Lu Shujing pouted and said, "Tell me if you have anything to do, I'll go over there first to see the fish in the pond."

It was freezing cold, and the fish in the pond had already sunk to the bottom, so she could still see it, and she was just making excuses.

He Tai pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and after Lu Shujing left, he smiled and said to Lu Shuyi: "The eighth cousin is quite cute, like a child."

"She's just a child." Lu Shuyi also smiled back.

Talking to He Tai this time, she obviously felt a lot more relaxed. Maybe it was the last time that she had said everything, and she also felt relieved.

He Tai raised the corners of his mouth, and the two exchanged pleasantries. He Tai stared at her and said, "Do you know the reason for Wang Xiu's visit?"

Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers, and she felt that He Tai came to her to talk about Wang Xiu's visit, and maybe it had something to do with the Zhao family's marriage.

She thought for a while, blinked her eyes and said, "Could it be that you took my portrait to show that cousin of yours?"

In fact, she was just guessing randomly, but He Tai opened her eyes wide and asked her, "How do you know? But...not just for my cousin, but for my uncle and aunt."

He explained the purpose of Mrs. He's invitation to Wang Xiu to paint portraits of girls from the Lu family.

Lu Shuyi immediately felt that Mrs. He Er was extremely shameless, and there were too many twists and turns in her heart.

Of course, she didn't want to scold Mrs. He in front of He Tai, so she just sneered and said, "The second wife is really flattering me, do you want me to be Zhaojun again?"

In ancient times, Mao Yanshou painted portraits of women in the harem for Emperor Yuan. Emperor Yuan used paintings to discuss people.It's a pity that I finally met Wang Zhaojun, which made Emperor Yuan regret...

Lu Shuyi felt that what the Second Mrs. He did was an insult to her, and what she didn't expect was that Wang Xiu would actually join forces with her.

Wang Xiu in his previous life was not such a person.

Lu Shuyi was a little disappointed in Wang Xiu.

There was some embarrassment on He Tai's face, he coughed dryly and said, "Actually, at first my mother wanted to invite you to our He's house during the Chinese New Year, and then find a chance to meet my cousin and look at each other... ...But my uncle suddenly became anxious, saying that my aunt also took a fancy to a girl..."

Before He Tai finished speaking, Lu Shuyi understood.

Feelings The Zhao family is afraid that the two sides will be delayed, afraid that Zhao Yong will look down on her, and the girl over there will turn yellow again...

The Zhao family really didn't delay, thinking that the eldest daughter of the other family was waiting for their son.

Lu Shuyi sneered in her heart, she looked at the lake, and said lightly: "Didn't you say you want to help me? In this case, how are you going to help me?"

It was obvious that she was angry with He Tai.

The disrespectful behavior of the He family and the Zhao family is really annoying.

"Also, that painter Wang from Kyoto, how much money did your mother buy him?"

Her question was extremely sharp, and she didn't give He Tai any face.

She doesn't need to give him any face, because this is what he owed her in his previous life.

It was also because she felt relieved towards He Tai, and she no longer had to worry about his feelings.

The cool breeze blew through the gazebo, and He Tai's face was a little ugly, and he was stunned for a moment before he said: "The reason why Master Wang promised my mother to come and paint your portraits this time is because Master Wang had won my favor before he became famous. Grandmother's great help, he came here for gratitude, not for money. Also...he knew nothing about this matter, the only purpose of his trip was to paint..."

He Tai spoke clearly.

This incident has nothing to do with Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu is not an insider.

Lu Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.The impression Wang Xiu left on her in his previous life was very good. Fortunately, fortunately, Wang Xiu is still the same Wang Xiu, he has not changed, he is still Wang Xiu who only loves painting but not money...

"...Also, I said I would help you, so I will definitely help you." He Tai's tone was very firm, but with a trace of disappointment: "I thought you have always believed in me, cousin, it seems that I Thinking too much."

His face drooped slightly, his eyes dimmed a bit, and his voice was light and light: "Don't worry, I will think of a way."

It was the first time Lu Shuyi saw He Tai like this, and she also felt that her attitude just now might be too bad.

After all, the Second Mrs. He is the Second Mrs. He, and He Tai is He Tai. Although they are mother and son, but if you think about it carefully, in the previous life, He Tai hurt her except for Xue Ye's rejection of her. Apart from that, he really didn't do anything. What excessive things have happened.

Perhaps, she was stubborn from the beginning.

"If you are willing to help me, I really have a plan." Lu Shuyi offered a friendly smile, looked around again, and said, "As long as you help me."

He Tai is not the kind of cheapskate who will take revenge. Although he still has a trace of anger in his heart, he still said: "What plan?"

Lu Shuyi smiled brightly, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I mention Mao Yanshou earlier? Why did Zhaojun get out of the fort in the end, think about it?"

He Tai glanced at Lu Shuyi, sighed and said, "You think I didn't think of this idea?"

"Can't you?" Lu Shuyi blinked.

He Tai shook his head and said, "Of course not." He frowned and explained, "Don't even think about it. Wang Xiu's paintings are world-famous. How can I change your appearance? If I don't do it well, it will only be self-defeating. But How can I change it to someone else's? My uncle is also a knowledgeable person, can he not see it?"

He Tai felt that Lu Shuyi underestimated the Zhao family.

He sighed: "If it can be changed, can I think of another way?"

"Did I say that I want to change someone else's painting?" Lu Shuyi smiled again, and she said: "It doesn't have to be a big effort to change the ugly one, just make some small changes." She blinked and said: "When you get the painting, I'll change it."

In her previous life, she had studied painting with Wang Xiu for a year. Although she couldn't imitate Wang Xiu's style 100%, she could still imitate nine points.

"You?" He Tai looked at her in disbelief, disbelief: "You can do it? I think it's better to forget it, or find another way."

"Give me a try, it will work for sure." Lu Shuyi looked at He Tai confidently, and said confidently, "Please trust me once, okay?"

He Tai frowned and thought about it for a long time, and sincerely said to Lu Shuyi: "I know you don't want to marry my cousin, but this method is too risky, if it is not done well, it may make the Zhao family think that your Lu family looks down on them. If there is trouble at the time, it will be difficult to finish it."

He Tai's words were very sincere, and Lu Shuyi pursed her lips: "Why don't you... think again."

She compromised.

After all, the Lu family is now in a stable position, and it would not be a good thing if they became enemies with the Zhao family.

But Zhao Yong's matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

She asked He Tai: "Then do you know what your uncle and aunt hate the most? Or, what kind of girls do they dislike?"

He Tai thought for a while, and said carefully: "My uncle and aunt are very simple people, especially my aunt, who dresses very plain on weekdays, and will order people to put away the leftover food and eat it the next day. By the way, on weekdays, she dislikes brightly dressed girls the least, and several cousins ​​of my Zhao family complained very much..."

Lu Shuyi's eyes lit up immediately, and she thought about it.

"Okay, I see, thank you for telling me this." She thanked He Tai very solemnly.

He Tai lowered his voice, and said very firmly: "Don't worry, I said I would help you, and I will definitely find a way to help you, you wait for me."

The words "you wait for me" are always a bit ambiguous||ambiguous, and he immediately added a few words after it: "Wait for me to help you."

"I've already figured out a way." Lu Shuyi didn't want to lie to him, let alone waste his kindness, so she whispered, "You can just keep everything as usual, but I have something to ask you when the portrait is finished. You must help me when the time comes." I."

He Tai was stunned for a moment, and his expression returned to normal in an instant: "Okay..."

"...There are too many people talking, it's not good for us to talk like this, I'll go back first." Lu Shuyi smiled and gave He Taifu a blessing.

He Tai didn't speak, just when the two passed by, he said in a low voice: "Have you... considered your future?"

Lu Shuyi's footsteps were slightly stagnant, in the future?

The meaning of her rebirth is to protect her family, and so will her future, as long as the people she loves are safe and sound.

"Think about it." She said lightly with sideways eyes: "As long as the person I guard can be happy, this is my future."

He Tai didn't ask any more questions, and looked forward slowly. The lake was sparkling like a mirror, and Lu Shuyi's reflection just got longer and longer...

That night Lu Shuyi slept very well, and when she woke up the next day her complexion was rosy, and her skin was as fair as an egg with its shell peeled off.

Mo Ju dressed up for Lu Shuyi who was sitting by the dressing table, and praised sincerely: "Painter Wang really has a pair of eyes, your face is really amazing..."

Lu Shuyi picked up a stroke of black hair in her hand, and combed it gently with a comb. The girl in the mirror was indeed bright and moving, very beautiful.

She said to Mo Ju: "Open my jewelry box, and take out the red gold butterfly head inlaid with precious stones, and a pair of okra and rosin jade bracelets. By the way, I remember my grandmother gave it back the year before last. My pair of pearl and emerald earrings? Give me those too, I'm going to wear them today."

Mo Ju was stunned when she heard that.

Lu Shuyi's dress has always been well-behaved in normal times, she doesn't want to be in the limelight and doesn't wrong herself, she should be a little careful in her simplicity so that she won't be compared to others, what's wrong today?Why do you choose the most expensive thing to wear?
The three pieces that Lu Shuyi mentioned were all rewarded by the elders of the family over the years. The red gold butterfly headgear inlaid with jewels was rewarded to her by Wu three years ago. It is said that it was originally worn by a certain princess in the palace, and later the princess rewarded her. She was given a very personal maid as a dowry, and then this thing got to the market somehow, and was finally bought by Wu Cheng.

At that time, Wu Cheng bought it for 2000 taels of silver.

2000 taels of silver...

Mo Ju took a deep breath after thinking about it.

Wu's reward to Lu Shuyi is for her to add boxes in the future.

Lu Shuyi also felt that this item was too precious, and she had never worn it before. For some reason, she remembered wearing it today...

Mo Ju pursed her lips: "Why don't you wear that set of red gold lilac headgear? Don't wear this red gold butterfly headgear inlaid with gemstones. You can keep it as an addition to the box later."

"No, take it out for me." Lu Shuyi didn't discuss with Mo Ju at all, turned around and said to Dongmei: "Go get it."

Dongmei looked at Mo Ju, then at Lu Shuyi, and finally stuck out her tongue.

Mo Ju was puzzled and said, "You haven't thought about wearing it for several years, why do you want to wear it today?"

Lu Shuyi raised her hand to caress the broken hair on her temples, and said with a smile, "Don't you want a portrait today? What if you don't dress up beautifully?"

Mo Ju expressed that he was speechless and held his forehead for a moment.

Isn't it just a picture?

The third lady of her family is still beautiful and radiant even if she doesn't wear these expensive jewelry.Wearing these things to take portraits, those girls in the Lu family still don't blow up the pot?
Mo Ju sighed feebly, and wanted to persuade again: "Think about it again..."

"Just do what you want, I have my own reasons." Lu Shuyi planned to dissuade her.

Dongmei quickly brought the headband, earrings and bracelet.

Dongmei carefully held the head in her hand, for fear of bumping it: "Miss San, the head is too expensive."

The head of the red gold butterfly inlaid with gemstones, the head of the hairpin is a butterfly that spreads its wings and wants to fly. The luminous pearl, the tentacles are burnt with gold wire, with very large pearls chasing on the end, it looks really luxurious and bright.

I have to say that royal things are just extraordinary.

Lu Shuyi gently touched the butterfly's wings, and said to Mo Ju, "Put it on for me, and put it in a conspicuous place."

Mo Ju couldn't persuade her, so she could only follow suit.

Lu Shuyi wore earrings and bracelets herself.

The girl in the mirror suddenly became bright and vivid, as beautiful as a flower bud, with a sense of extravagance that made people dare not approach her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, third miss, you are so beautiful and dazzling when you dress up like this, the servants can hardly keep their eyes open." Dongmei rubbed her eyes while talking.

Lu Shuyi smiled and gave her a sideways look: "When you get married in the future, I will reward you with this pair of bracelets."

Mo Ju looked at the pair of okra and rosin jade bracelets, blinked and said: "It's too expensive, I don't dare to accept it."

Lu Shuyi didn't say anything else, she just looked around at the bronze mirror, and she was very satisfied with everything.

She got up and looked at the clothes on her body again, pouted and said: "It's too elegant, change to a rose-colored gold-woven beanie."

Mo Ju held her forehead, she was wearing jewelry and changing clothes, she really couldn't understand.

Dongmei hurriedly took the clothes and came over to change for Lu Shuyi.

Packing up and matching clothes, it is really like a fairy descending from the earth.

A group of nuns and maidservants in Lanyue Pavilion couldn't help but gasp in admiration when they saw it.Nanny You even looked at her from top to bottom, and said aloud: "I don't know that our third lady was born by that fairy in her previous life. People really can't get enough..."

Whether it was a compliment or a sincere one, Lu Shuyi was very happy to hear it.

After breakfast, Lu Shujing and Lu Shuqing came together to find her to take a portrait in the plum garden.

These two people were also stunned by Lu Shuyi's outfit today.

Lu Shuqing even exaggerated "ah" several times, touched Lu Shuyi's clothes, and then stroked her hair, pouted with envy and jealousy: "Third sister, you can go to the audition with this outfit. "

She touched the red gold bead flower on her head again, pouted her lips and was very dissatisfied: "Compared with this, I will almost become your maid." She pouted, turned her face and said in a low voice: " No, no, I'll get dressed up too." While calling to the nurse beside her, she said, "Go back quickly, take out my pearl hair mask, I want to wear it too..."

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and smiled.

However, Lu Shujing reached out to touch her forehead several times, looked at her with doubts in her eyes and said, "Third sister, are you sick?"

"no!"

"No, you are sick, or why did you find out your head from the bottom of the box and put it on? Didn't you say that you don't want to be in the painting? How can I look at you so that no one else is positive?"

Lu Shujing thinks that Lu Shuyi is sick...

Lu Shuyi smiled helplessly, without explaining, she just told Mo Ju, "Don't I still have a pearl mask? Take it here and put it on for Miss Ba."

Mo Ju went in response, and after a while brought Pearl Tou Noodles.

Lu Shuyi took it over and put it on for Lu Shujing herself. She smiled and said, "It's actually a very happy thing to be able to dress up at an age where you can dress up, don't you think?"

Lu Shujing looked in the mirror, and after thinking about it, what Lu Shuyi said was correct.

She pursed her lips and smiled.

Only then did Lu Shuyi breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that when she arrived in the plum garden later, she didn't know how much "attention" she would attract.

He Zhaoer, Lu Shuqi, Lu Shufang, which one of them is not eyeing her?

Lu Shuyi sighed.

When Lu Shuqing came back again, the scarlet gold face on her head was replaced with a pearl studded one, she also wore bright red gold earrings on her ears, a pair of blue jadeite bracelets on her wrists, and a pair of emerald greens on her cheeks. Rouge.

"Look, am I so pretty?" Lu Shuqing walked around in a circle, not forgetting to smile coquettishly.

In the past life, she and Lu Shuyi were at odds, who would have thought that they would get along well with her in this life.

Lu Shuyi sighed and did not forget to praise: "It is very beautiful, even more delicate than the red plum blossoms outside."

Lu Shuqing smiled and turned into a flower.

The three of them went to the Plum Garden side by side with the corners of their skirts in hand.

An easel had been set up in the pavilion in the plum garden, and the girls from the Lu family stood together in twos and threes talking.

Dongxue Hanmei is an extremely beautiful scenery, and the delicate beauty is standing there, which is really eye-catching.

Wang Xiu and Master Lu Er sat in the pavilion drinking hot tea, the atmosphere was very good.

"I don't know who to paint first, if only me." Lu Shuqing was looking forward to it, and while walking, she thought: "If I paint me, what should I have in my hand? Plum blossoms or fans?"

Lu Shujing smiled and rolled her eyes: "It's winter, do you use a fan?"

Lu Shuqing was not annoyed, but said: "It's just for painting and it's not for real use, it's just for show, but it should be very beautiful... Third sister, are you right?"

Lu Shuqing asked Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi's gaze was still on Wang Xiu, and when she came back to her senses, she said seriously: "Pretty, really beautiful, just take a round fan..."

Lu Shuqing was surprised and delighted, and nodded happily.

The three of them were getting closer and closer to the pavilion.

The people in the pavilion also saw the three of them, and dozens of pairs of eyes immediately turned to them.

With just one glance, there was commotion in the pavilion.

Those maids and maids stared at each other and whispered: "Ah, Miss San is really beautiful today..."

"Idiot, is it just beautiful? Take a look at the butterfly head on Miss San's head, and look at the gemstones on it. It's called luxury, okay?"

"...No, it's expensive and beautiful, no wonder Painter Wang praised it in the old lady's room that day!"

The whispers of the maids immediately made He Zhaoer, Lu Shuqi and Lu Shufang's faces darken.

The three of them couldn't see Lu Shuyi well.

Such Lu Shuyi made them feel anxious and annoyed...
