Yijia Yishi

Chapter 179
Holly soon brought manna cakes.

Lu Shuyi personally took a piece and handed it to Nanny Qian. Nanny Qian accepted it with a smile, and couldn't stop praising: "Miss San is really a pair of skillful hands, with a beautiful heart."

After listening to Madam Qian's words, Lu Shuqi and He Zhaoer felt uncomfortable.

A pair of skillful hands?Hui quality orchid heart?

This was clearly Lu Shuyi's intention to curry favor with Nanny Qian, but it was just a piece of nectar cake, so there was nothing special about it.

sycophant...

Lu Shuyi saw the girl's careful thinking very clearly, so she ignored it, and only asked Dongqing to bring the nectar cake to Lu Shuqi and He Zhaoer. Don't be disgusted."

"How can you dislike it? The third sister's skillful hand is naturally unmistakable." Lu Shuqi smiled, and there was a hint of sourness in her words.

He Zhao'er also echoed, "Who says it's not? Third Cousin's skillful hands are beyond our reach."

The sourness in the words is stronger.

Nanny Qian is an old nanny, and she understands the mentality of this kind of girl's disobedience.

But she couldn't understand Lu Shuqi very much. She has always been a good girl, so why is she so angry when she speaks now?
Qian Momo secretly remembered it in her heart. She finished eating a piece of truffle cake calmly, then got up and said goodbye: "Then I'll go back and call the old lady first. Miss San, don't forget to come and serve the old lady.", After she finished speaking, she winked at Lu Shuyi again.

Lu Shuyi smiled knowingly, and said, "Okay, then I'll see you off."

Nanny Qian didn't refuse.

The two walked out of the room side by side, Mo Ju Dongmei Dongqing and the others followed.

Lu Shuqi and He Zhaoer glanced at each other, and they immediately got up and quietly stood under the window to listen.

Not far from the door, Qian Momo looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she whispered: "Actually, the old lady watched a marriage for Miss San a few days ago..."

Lu Shuyi pretended to be shocked, and said in surprise: "What else? I...why don't I know anything about it?"

Qian Momo gave a dry laugh, and explained in a low voice: "Don't say you don't know about this matter, even the second master and the second wife don't know the inside story." She laughed again, and said with a relaxed voice: "But don't worry, this marriage is over today, and you can live in peace in the future."

Lu Shuyi let out an "oh", blinked her eyes in confusion, and said shyly, "Why not? Also, I don't know... I don't know whose family grandma is marrying?"

Qian Momo looked at Lu Shuyi with a smile, and said softly, "It's a thing of the past to get married with anyone else, so you don't have to ask any more, and don't think about it anymore. Anyway, in my opinion, his son is also worthy." Not on you."

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for telling me this."

Qian Momo smiled and shook her head: "Miss San, you don't need to thank me, I didn't do anything." Then she said: "Go back quickly, I have to go back to serve the old lady."

Lu Shuyi agreed with a smile, and ordered Mo Ju and Dongmei to send Nanny Qian to Fushouju together.

Lu Shuqi and He Zhaoer also listened to what Nanny Qian said to Lu Shuyi.

Hearing that the marriage between Zhao and Lu's family has not been completed, the faces of these two people are very ugly.

Lu Shuqi thought of what her mother said that day. She thought that this marriage would come true with all her heart, but who would have thought that it would die so soon.

This marriage has gone bad, and Lu Shuyi's threat to her has returned.

Lu Shuqi squeezed her fingers, her thoughts changed sharply.

And in the same way, He Zhaoer was also thinking about it in countless ways. Her eyes lit up, and she always felt that his brother was doing something wrong.

Coming out of Lanyue Pavilion, He Zhaoer went straight to He Tai's residence.

He Tai was writing at his desk, while Yun'er waited on the pen and ink.

He Zhaoer's face was very ugly, and she stared and questioned as soon as she entered the door: "Brother, what happened to Cousin Yong's marriage?"

He Tai was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Yun'er gave a dry cough and led the people around He Zhaoer to retreat hastily.

As soon as the person left, He Zhaoer became aggrieved, pouted and said with red eyes, "I already know that Cousin Yong and Third Cousin's marriage failed, right?"

Speaking of which, Zhao Yong is her real brother, but she hates Mrs. Zhao and her children from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for them, she would not have been sent to the He family to take care of her.If she hadn't been sent to the He family to be raised, now she would be able to confess her love to He Tai in a fair manner.

All of this was caused by Mrs. Zhao.

So she thought in her heart that it was good for Zhao Yong to marry Lu Shuyi. Anyway, both of them were people she hated, and it was best to get together.

He Tai was still a little dazed.

The marriage between Lu Shuyi and Zhao Yong was a private matter, how did she know?
When He Zhaoer saw that He Tai didn't speak, the more she felt wronged, she dropped the golden peas and cried, "I knew, brother, you couldn't bear your third cousin to marry someone else, and I knew you couldn't bear to..."

She sobbed and began to cry, her whole body was covered with pear blossoms, which was pitiful.

He Tai raised his forehead.

His sister is really spoiled, like this over and over again.Now he doesn't even have the slightest sense of propriety in speaking, and says everything out.

So this time he didn't intend to comfort her, let alone pamper her.

He Tai's face turned cold immediately, he stared at He Zhao'er for a moment, and said seriously: "How dare you say what you said just now? You are not afraid that someone with a heart outside will ruin the reputation of my third cousin and me?"

He Zhaoer originally thought that He Tai would comfort her in the same gentle voice as before, but he didn't expect that instead of comforting, he would talk to her in such a tone.

what is this?
Could it be that he really fell in love with Lu Shuyi in his heart?
The more He Zhaoer thought about it, the more wronged she became. She bit her lower lip tightly, her big beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she just stared at He Tai motionlessly, as if she wanted to make a big hole in him.

He Tai looked at her helplessly, thinking of comforting her, but fearing that she would become more presumptuous from now on, so he could only hold back his comforting words and ignore her.

"You... Tell me, do you really like Lu Shuyi?" He Zhaoer's tears rolled out as she spoke, but she held back the sound that was about to cry, and tightly clenched her fists and said: " He Tai, let me tell you now, if you dare to like Lu Shuyi, I... I will die for you."

Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself three times is the performance of the weak.

He Tai was even more helpless, he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice was very calm: "No matter who I like in the future, that's my business alone."

The tears in He Zhaoer's eyes finally flowed uncontrollably and unscrupulously, she almost broke down, and her voice began to hysteria: "No, you said, you will love me for the rest of your life, you... how can you like others in the future? How can you like someone else?"

When things got to this point, He Tai didn't know how to continue coaxing his younger sister.

He will definitely get married in the future.

There is no man in the world who will be celibate for the rest of his life, even if he wants to, his parents will not be willing.

He looked at He Zhaoer, raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and tried his best to control his emotions, "Sister, you and I are no longer children. One day I will marry a wife, and you will marry someone. We are Brother and sister, I will naturally love you for the rest of my life, even if I have my wife in the future, I will still love you."

His voice was very gentle, and when he raised his hand, it just landed on He Zhaoer's black hair, and comforted him: "Don't worry, brother assures you, in this life, no matter who I marry, I will love you, my sister."

However, He Zhaoer dodged his hand like a needle prick. Her eyes were broken, her lips trembled, and her body was like sifting chaff. It took a long time to cry out: "No, brother, how can you marry a wife? How can you marry me?" Can you marry a wife? No, I don't want you to marry a wife, you will never be able to marry a wife in your life."

She hugged He Tai's arm with tears in her eyes, fearing that she would lose it as soon as she let go: "Brother... I beg you, don't you get married in this life, okay? Let me stay with you, I'll be there for you." If you don’t go, I’ll stay by your side and serve you, okay?”

He Tai has not yet understood the meaning of He Zhaoer's words, he only thinks that his sister is too attached to him, that's why he said such stupid words.

He smiled slightly, and comforted him in a warm voice: "Don't say such stupid things in the future, if your parents hear about it, they will definitely punish you. Don't worry, what brother said today will definitely count, and he won't care about who I marry in the future." Whoever it is, I will let her..."

"No..." He Zhaoer interrupted He Tai's words in the middle of his sentence: "I don't want you to marry a wife, I don't want you to marry a wife..."

He Tai raised his head, and when he lowered his eyebrows again, he hardened his heart: "Sister, why don't you understand? You are no longer children, and you will have your own families in the future. I don't marry a wife... I don't want to marry you." Do you want me to become a monk to marry a wife?" He sighed and said, "Okay, even if I am willing, can our father and mother be willing? Can the He family be willing?"

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. Do you want him to be the unfilial son of the He family?
He Tai felt that He Zhaoer had gone too far this time, and even made trouble out of no reason.

"...Besides, my third cousin and I have nothing to do, so you just came to me and told me a lot, sister, what's wrong with you?" He Tai sighed deeply again, he really couldn't figure it out. .

But He Zhaoer was crying so hard: "Brother, don't you really understand? I... I just care about you, just you."

He Tai was taken aback for a moment.

There seems to be something wrong with this statement.

He fixedly looked at He Zhao'er, at this "sister" who was actually his cousin, and felt overwhelmed in his heart.

For this reason, He Zhaoer also figured it out. Instead of enduring the torment every day like this, she might as well tell her heart out.

She didn't believe it, she left her heart in the sun, and he couldn't see it?
"Brother... No, I should call you cousin." He Zhaoer stared at He Tai's eyes with burning eyes, for fear that he would run away.

But He Tai heard it as if he had been struck by lightning, he stood there dumbfounded and could not move.

Obviously, He Zhao'er knew about her origin, and she already knew that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family.

It's just that the He family and the Zhao family have been burying this matter very deeply, how did she know?

"You must be very surprised how I know my background, right?" He Zhaoer smiled, looking at He Tai with more gentle eyes, like flowing water, wanting to wrap him tightly, it's best to be like this haunted for a lifetime.

"...You don't need to guess who told me, anyway, I knew it five years ago." He Zhaoer bit her lip silently, her skin was better than snow against the light red beanie, and her pair of beautiful eyes were gentle and affectionate , Biting her lips, there is a faint temptation of a girl ||.

He Tai squeezed his fingers, feeling like a girl in my family had grown up in a trance.

He frowned and said, "So you already knew..."

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago." He Zhaoer took a breath, and the depressed mood seemed to be much better. Some things are always better than being kept in the heart. When they are kept in the heart, this matter is Qianjin's boulder made her breathless all the time, and now that she said it, everything was relieved.

"I know that I am the illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family, I know that my biological mother came from a humble background, and I also know that she just gave birth to me..." He Zhaoer squeezed the handkerchief fiercely in her hand, and said for a long time: "I know more It is Mrs. Zhao who doesn't want me to stay in the Zhao family. She doesn't want me, she doesn't want me to live in this world, because she thinks that I am a disgrace to the Zhao family and a scar she can't erase, so she doesn't want me... "

"No, it's not like this." He Tai was a little distressed, and hurriedly comforted him: "It's because you think too much, it's not like this, uncle..."

"Brother, you don't need to explain, I know everything, I know everything." He Zhaoer sneered, her eyes were as cold as ice skates: "Those who lost me are not worthy of being my relatives, so in my life, I only have One father and one mother, that is the current parents."

He Tai frowned, he really didn't know how to comfort He Zhaoer.

He Zhaoer was indeed abandoned by Mrs. Zhao back then.

At that time Mrs. Zhao cried, made trouble, hanged herself, and uttered harsh words. If Master Zhao dared to leave He Zhaoer in the Zhao family, she would take her children to seek death.

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands were full of flesh. How could Mr. Zhao watch his sons being taken away by Mrs. Zhao to seek death, so after making a decision, he finally took the children to He's house as a last resort, begging Mr. He to take them in.

Human hearts are made of flesh, so it is reasonable for He Zhaoer to hate Mrs. Zhao now.

But these years, Master He and Mrs. He have treated He Zhaoer as their own, and have never treated her badly, which can be regarded as making up for her lack of affection.

He Tai said slowly: "Actually, my uncle also had difficulties back then, you...don't blame him."

He Zhao'er sneered again, and she asked, "What's the reason? My mother lost her life to give birth to him. What's his reason? It's clearly unkind..."

He Zhaoer's voice was sharp, and he said word by word: "Anyway, I, He Zhaoer, will never forgive them in this life."

He Tai was silent after hearing this.

After all, he has never experienced the feeling of being abandoned by others. Perhaps this feeling can only be understood if he has experienced it.

"Brother..." He Zhaoer suddenly looked at him very gently, her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky. "Brother...do you know? In fact, I'm really glad that I'm not the biological daughter of the He family."

He Tai pursed his lips, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

He felt that He Zhaoer might say something stupid if he continued.

After all, he is not a fool, and just now from He Zhaoer's tone and attitude, he also noticed something abnormal.

He couldn't detect the abnormality before because he always felt that He Zhaoer didn't know her life experience, but now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and he has to face some facts.

He coughed dryly, and instinctively evaded: "It's getting late, I still have to practice calligraphy, you go back quickly." His eyes moved slightly, and he pondered again: "Today's words, God knows, you know, I know , When you get out of this door, you forget it, of course, I will rot in my stomach what you said, as if I have never heard of it."

With a wave of his wide sleeves, He Tai walked over to the desk without looking back, and started to write with a pen.

But He Zhaoer didn't want to let it go.

She finally worked up the courage to start the conversation, how could she give up now?
Killing is nothing but nodding, she wants to know He Tai's attitude towards her.

He Zhaoer made up her mind to express her heart to He Tai, whether he accepted it or not, at least she expressed her attitude.

He Zhaoer pinched the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips and said suddenly: "Brother, I...I treat you..."

"Ah, Cousin Zhao'er is really here!" Suddenly a girl's crisp laughter came from the door.

He also heard Ruyu, the maid beside He Zhaoer, say, "Why is Miss Seven here?"

Lu Shufang?
He Zhaoer frowned instinctively, feeling very annoyed.

When can't this Lu Shufang come to her?To come at this time, isn't it intentional to hurt her?

However, He Tai breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, if He Zhaoer really said something stupid, how should he face it?

His face relaxed, and he said lightly: "It seems to be looking for you..."

He Zhaoer bit her lower lip, and reluctantly walked outside.

Lu Shufang came over with a smile, and when she saw He Zhaoer, she said happily, "Cousin Zhaoer, I have found you."

He Zhaoer was so angry that she had to force a smile on her face to deal with it: "Seventh Cousin, what do you want me to do?"

Lu Shufang was very keenly aware of the expression on He Zhaoer's face, and saw that her eyes were red, and there were still tears on her cheeks. It looked like she had just cried.

Inside is He Tai, why is she crying?
Lu Shufang was thinking secretly, but the corners of her mouth were crooked, and she took He Zhaoer's hand to flatter her and said, "Later, it's the flower viewing party. This is the first time I hold a flower viewing party. I always feel uneasy in my heart." I was thinking to myself, cousin, you have never seen anything in the He family, so I want to ask you to help me see the potted flowers I have chosen. "

Everyone loves a tall hat, and He Zhaoer is no exception.

She was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing what Lu Shufang said, she felt a little complacent in her heart. She raised her eyes and said, "What's the problem? I'll go with you." After thinking about it, she said: " You wait for me first, I will come when I go."

"Okay." Lu Shufang smiled and nodded immediately, and let go of He Zhaoer's arm.

With gloomy eyes, He Zhaoer turned around and walked slowly into He Tai's room.

Lu Shufang's eyes moved slightly, she stood there and listened quietly.

There were intermittent sounds from inside the room.

"... I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said just now, so go ahead."

"Okay, but brother, I... I still have something to say, I'll talk to you when I come back, okay?"

He Tai and He Zhaoer seem to be discussing something?
But the following words were a bit vague, and Lu Shufang couldn't hear clearly.

Lu Shufang wanted to take a few steps forward, but Ruyu and Yun'er watched closely, so she could only suppress her curiosity and obediently stand there and wait.

After a while, He Zhaoer came out.

It's just that He Zhao'er seemed in a bad mood, her mouth was flattened, her brows were wrinkled, as if she had been bullied.

Lu Shufang thought about it secretly, and greeted him again with a smile, but this time she quietly said to He Zhaoer: "What's wrong with cousin? Why do you look so unhappy?"

He Zhaoer said in a gloomy mood: "There's nothing wrong, just a little irritable. Maybe it's the Chinese New Year, and I'm homesick."

She found a relatively plausible reason to deal with Lu Shufang.

She didn't want to get too close to Lu Shufang.

Lu Shufang could tell that He Zhaoer was trying to put her off, so she didn't go into it, and just smiled and said, "I heard that cousin, you held a flower viewing party in Yizhou every few years?"

He Zhao'er gave a "hmm" and said lightly, "It's nothing, but I invited a few thousand dollars to come over for tea."

She downplayed the flower appreciation meeting, compared to Lu Shufang's concern, she showed everyone's demeanor.

Lu Shufang heard the clue, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, laughing that He Zhaoer is just an abandoned daughter, a person that her parents would not want, what right does she have to look down on others?

What's more, even if she was born by her aunt, it would be much better than her He Zhaoer's background. Her He Zhaoer's mother was just a Yangzhou skinny horse, and she didn't even have a name when she died. What's there to do about her, He Zhaoer?
It's just fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps.

Thinking of this, Lu Shufang felt much more comfortable.

"Cousin, you have the demeanor of everyone. I think a flower viewing party like this is very important." Lu Shufang continued to flatter He Zhaoer, and she said with a smile: "If it is not done well, I am always afraid that others will laugh at me, so Cousin, you have to check it out for me, and if you think it's not good there, you can tell me a few more words."

He Zhaoer let out a "huh", and in order to show that she is better than Lu Shufang, she talked about her experience of holding a flower viewing party while walking. When it came to a poem written by He Tai at the flower viewing party, her eyes lit up He said proudly: "At that time, you didn't know how beautiful my brother was, and that poem stunned everyone..."

He Zhaoer was beaming with joy at what he said, but Lu Shufang had some small calculations in her heart.

Her mother guessed right, He Zhaoer just liked her brother He Tai.

Hmph... It's really shameless for her to dare to attack her elder brother who lives under the same roof.

Lu Shufang scolded in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, and praised: "Cousin Tai is excellent and proficient in everything."
