Lu Wangliu talks about

Half a year ago in the east of the city, a shop selling tofu flowers was opened. The lady who sells tofu flowers is friendly and generous. I can't bear to put the bowl.Gradually, more and more people came to eat bean curd, among them was the daughter of Master Lu's family in the south of the city.Ms. Lu has been thinking about it since she was brought here by Fa Weiwei to eat tofu flower once, and she must come here to eat a big bowl every day.

Lu Wang is a stubborn woman, today's tofu flower must be eaten today.

Lu Wang is a very strong woman, not only must she eat it today, but also be the first to eat it.

Lu Wang, who originally needed Mrs. Lu's call two or three times before getting up, has been riding his little white horse to the west of the city every day before dawn, rain or shine, since he has the obsession to be the first to eat tofu flower.In this way, he insisted on obsession for more than a month, and it became a habit. Lu Wang would wake up by himself every day, and then go to Aunt Zhang to eat a bowl of sweet tofu flowers, and then ride after Aunt Zhang closes the stall. Walking home with the little white horse leisurely through the already very lively bazaar.

Today when Lu Wang turned the corner of the street, he saw Aunt Zhang stepping into a carriage with a bundle in her hand. Lu Wang suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurried forward, "Ma'am!"

"Miss Lu, you are here." Aunt Zhang got out of the carriage and took Lu Wang's hand, with a guilty expression on her face, "Auntie's shop is closed, but I think your child comes to Auntie's every day to eat, and every day I eat first. Well, sometimes the aunt has not set the table yet, and she will help the aunt, and often wait for the aunt to close the stall before leaving. After getting along with each other, the aunt also likes you from the bottom of her heart, but for some reason, the aunt..."

Lu Wang felt that he got up a little early today, and his mind went blank: "Auntie, are you going to leave?"

Aunt Zhang patted the back of Lu Wang's hand and sighed, "Yes. Auntie is leaving now, you should go back too."

"Oh, oh, good, goodbye, aunt." Lu Wang waved vigorously at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang smiled gratifiedly, Miss Lu is really an open-minded child.Turning to the driver, he said, "Young man, let's go."

Lu Wang watched the carriage drift away, scratched his head, and planned to turn the horse's head back home, but he seemed to remember something after taking two steps, and hurriedly chased in the direction Auntie Zhang left, "Auntie, Auntie!"

The aunt raised the curtain, "Miss Lu, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you open it?"

"People from Liu's Mansion came to me yesterday and said that their lady wanted to eat the tofu flower I made, so they wanted to invite me to make it for her in Liu's Mansion. Liu's Mansion is a scholarly family, and the guy was very polite yesterday. I am also very satisfied with the remuneration, so I agreed." Aunt Zhang looked at Lu Wang's crying face and explained, alas, it turns out that he is not an open-minded child, but a slow-response child.

"Ah? That, that... Madam, can you come to my house? My family can give you double the salary of the Liu Mansion." Why didn't she think of inviting someone home?Lu Wang was so angry that he almost fell off his horse, the evil bureaucracy.

"You..." At this moment, a young woman's distraught voice came from the carriage.

"Miss Zhu, be safe and don't be impatient. Miss Lu is more straightforward and harmless. I just need to make it clear to her." Aunt Zhang said to the humanity who just spoke.

The man's voice instantly softened: "All you have to do is listen to the aunt."

Lu Wang: "..." Is this person from a theater troupe?

Lu Wang looked at the aunt and shouted again, "Auntie..."

"I promised the Liu Mansion first, so naturally I can't break my promise. Madam is still in the capital, will I do it for you when I have a chance?" Madam Zhang suddenly felt reluctant.

Lu Wang nodded, "Yes, I will see you off, Madam."

"Okay." Aunt Zhang responded with a smile.

Watching Aunt Zhang enter the Liu Mansion, Lu Wang sullenly led the horse to a tree not far from the gate of the Liu Mansion, and played with the horse with the branch he had just folded, "Little Bai, What kind of person do you think Miss Liu is?"

Xiaobai turned his head aside and ignored Lu Wang.

Lu Wang had no choice but to continue, "I also think that she is a lazy and delicate girl." Why can't she get up at five o'clock like her and go to Aunt Zhang's shop to eat?

A passing woman suddenly turned to look at her.

Lu Wang's fluttering eyes happened to meet those surprised amber pupils, and his face flushed suddenly, as if he was at a loss when he was bumped into by the deity after speaking ill of someone behind his back.Fortunately, the woman just took a look at her, and left gracefully, she watched the woman's leaving back and unconsciously touched Xiao Bai's head with her hand: "Xiao Bai, why do you think that beautiful sister wants to look at me? "

Xiaobai and Lu Wang also looked at the woman's back, and then, each of them stared blankly at the beautiful sister in a light blue dress walking gracefully into Liu's mansion.

Lu Wang hurriedly got on his horse, "Xiaobai, go quickly, that beautiful sister is from the Liu family! Just now I said something bad about their lady, she may bring her servants out to beat us later."

Xiaobai was surprised.

After Liu Qingxu entered the house, when she turned her head, she saw the little girl who just said she was lazy and delicate climbed up the horse in a panic, and said something to the horse while climbing, and then she saw the horse's head twitching. Turning around, looking frightened, he hurriedly carried its owner and disappeared at the gate of Liu Mansion.

Liu Qingxu couldn't help chuckling, "Interesting."

Xiao Zhu, who was about to find Liu Qingxu, couldn't help being curious when she saw her young lady, "Miss, what's so interesting?"

"I just saw a little girl at the door. It's very interesting."

"Speaking of which, Xiaozhu also saw a very interesting girl this morning." Xiaozhu thought of the woman chasing the carriage this morning, and found it very novel. Isn't it just tofu flower? Aunt Zhang didn't do it, and Aunt Wang. Big, there are many tofu flower shops, what about that girl?

"Oh? What an interesting idea?" Liu Qingxu asked with a smile.

Xiaozhu suddenly didn't know how to describe her, "Well... I don't know how to describe her, she is more persistent."

"What's so interesting about being persistent, I know a lot of people who are very persistent, this kind of person is like a piece of wood." Liu Qingxu didn't take it seriously, "By the way, have you bought Aunt Zhang's tofu flower? I'm a little hungry..."

"Not today." Xiao Zhu paused, "Second Young Master directly invited Aunt Zhang to our house, and will make bean curd flowers for the young lady in the future."

"Second brother, does father agree to do this?" Father always taught them to be frugal.

"The master agreed, but Mrs. Zhang's monthly payment will be deducted from the second son's monthly payment. The second son really loves Miss." Xiaozhu said with emotion.

Liu Qingxu was not moved at all.

Liu Qingce's monthly money?Liu Qingce's monthly money is used up every time she sends it out, and the current situation is that she still owes her elder brother hundreds of taels of silver, sharing a monthly money with her!

Liu Qingxu suddenly remembered an important matter, "By the way, Second Brother invited Aunt Zhang, did you tell her how much the monthly payment is?"

"I don't know about this, but the Second Young Master is at the mansion now, is Miss going to look for him?"

"Look! I'm looking for him now, you go and help me prepare something to eat, and deliver it to my room. I'll come back to eat later." Liu Qingxu walked quickly to Liu Qingce's yard.

Liu Qingce was exercising martial arts with Zhou Hang, the heir son of Nanyang Prince, when he saw his sister coming, he put away his sword, "Qingxu, what can I do for you?"

Liu Qingxu asked directly, "I heard that you invited Mrs. Zhang to your house?"

"That's right." Liu Qingce replied, quite proudly.

"How much do you give people a month?"

"Five taels of silver."

"What?" Liu Qingxu's heart was bleeding, "The monthly payment for hiring someone is copper coins as a unit, why do you just pay two?"

"Ah?" Obviously, Second Young Master Liu didn't have much idea about this money, "I think five taels of silver is very little, copper coins or something..." He turned his head and asked Zhou Hang who was watching a play, "Zhou Hang, Do you know how much your family's average monthly salary is?"

Zhou Hang thought for a while, "I remember I once heard my concubine mother mention that there was a maid in charge beside her, it seemed to be... three taels, the usual five hundred copper coins or one thousand."

Liu Qingce: "..."

Today's Lu Wang came back listless, even her favorite mung bean cake couldn't cheer her up, Wei Wei stretched out his hand and shook her in front of her, "Hey, what's the matter? Aunt Zhang didn't open the shop today?"

"correct."

Wei Wei felt that this child was too hopeless, "Tsk, it's just that he can't eat in a day, is he worth it?"

"I won't be able to eat it anymore." Lu Wang hugged a pillow, looking like he was about to cry.

Wei Wei: "What's going on?"

Lu Wang told Wei Wei what happened to Aunt Zhang this morning.

Wei Wei cried, "Why didn't I think of this method?!"

"What should we do now!" Lu Wangyang sighed.

"I think we have to get close to Aunt Zhang first." Wei Wei thought for a while.

When it came to the plan, Lu Wang was shocked, "How do you get close? Infiltrate Liu's mansion?"

"You're stupid. A place like Liu's Mansion must be very guarded. We probably got caught before we even got over the wall."

"No need to climb over the wall, no need to climb over the wall!" Lu Wang thought of a way, with a look of excitement on his face, "I'm talking about the kind of people we mix in, so that it's easy to get close to Mrs. Zhang. Go and inquire about it. Is there anyone missing?"

Wei Wei was very efficient and came back in a short while, "Quaque! There are still two firewood choppers in the kitchen. The two of us have practiced martial arts since we were young. It's no problem to chop firewood, and it's still in the kitchen! I just went to give firewood to the kitchen. The two of us signed up, now let the housekeeper take a look."

After Lu Wang listened, he and Wei Wei hurried to Liu's mansion.

When the two entered the door, they were stopped by the porter. The porter saw that the two were dressed in luxurious clothes, with delicate skin and tender flesh. At first glance, they looked like wealthy businessmen or rich ladies from the official family. The porter said politely: "You two girls, who are you looking for?"

Wei Wei coughed lightly, "Brother, we heard that the Liu residence still lacks two woodcutters, and we came here to recommend ourselves."

The concierge felt that the matter was not simple, "Two girls, wait a moment, I will inform the butler right away."

The butler was reporting the recent affairs of the mansion to Mrs. Liu, and waved his hand when he heard what the concierge said, "It's all about chopping firewood, you can take it directly to the kitchen steward, and let him look satisfied."

"But... the two people outside the door are women, and I'm worried about their situation because they look rich or expensive."

"Well, then I'll go and have a look later, you bring them in first." The housekeeper thought for a while, and decided to go and see what was going on in person.

Liu Qingxu, who was reading a book beside Mrs. Liu, stopped the concierge upon hearing the words, "Wait, take me to meet those two people."

Mrs. Liu looked at her little daughter wondering, "Xu'er, what's wrong?"

Liu Qingxu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Today is really interesting." Seeing that Mrs. Liu still wanted to ask herself something, Liu Qingxu walked out quickly.

Liu Qingxu looked at the two people from a distance, and recognized that one of them was the girl from this morning. She was standing by the water corridor, and when the housekeeper appeared, she called out, "Uncle Qi."

The butler came forward, "What are your orders, Miss?"

Seeing the butler appearing, Lu Wang and Wei Wei bowed and said, "I've seen the butler."

Uncle Qi nodded, secretly guessing the identities of the two of them. Although ordinary servants can salute, they are either irregular or weak, and lack that kind of bearing.But for some rich and wealthy people from official families, etiquette is something that must be learned since childhood. It belongs to the bones and cannot be imitated. "I don't know how to call them?"

"My name is Wei Yi."

"My name is Lu Er."

Wei, Lu, the housekeeper thought about it. The most famous Lu family in the imperial capital is the Lu family in the south of the city. The current patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Yu, has a unique vision and acts decisively and boldly. There is also an elder sister who went to take part in the imperial examination and won the first prize in one fell swoop. Now that she has reached the first rank, the generation of the Lu family is considered brilliant.

The Wei family belongs to the forces of the rivers and lakes, and they are family friends with the Lu family. Compared with the multi-industry of the Lu family, the ancestors of the Wei family started their business by smelting iron, and then focused on making weapons. The weapons of the Wei family are exquisite and lethal. It took a long time, but there are still countless people who come to ask for help.

"You guys with thin arms and legs, can you really chop firewood?" The housekeeper looked suspicious.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, we can show you right now." Wei Wei said.

Lu Wang followed closely and nodded.

"No, no, no." The housekeeper smiled and shook his head, "Compared with brute force, we in the Liu Mansion value the connotation of people more?"

"What?" Lu Wang looked confused, paying more attention to connotation than brute force?Aren't they just a woodcutter?

Wei Wei was even more confused, "Well, housekeeper, aren't we just chopping firewood?" Could it be that we were chopping with our heads?

"Although you are firewood choppers, our lady has said that our master has always advocated that the people should read more books. Since this is the case, it is natural to start from your own mansion. Therefore, my servants in Liu's mansion are very concerned about books such as "The Analects of Confucius". It's all very familiar."

Lu Wang asked cautiously, "Is it Taifu Liu?"

"Yes."

Lu Wang wanted to hit someone, and it was Taifu Liu who advocated that everyone should read more books, and his aunt, who admired Taifu Liu, strictly followed this suggestion immediately.The young Lu Wang was drowned in the sea of ​​books during that time, and he lost half a catty!

The housekeeper looked at Wei Wei, "Wei Yi, tell me, what's the next sentence of 'A gentleman has nothing to contend with'?"

Wei Wei: "..." I want to go home.

The housekeeper shook his head and looked at Lu Wang, "What does 'introspection is not guilty, husband has nothing to worry about' tell us?"

Lu Wang: "..." He told me to go home quickly, and also, your lady is such a troublemaker.

"Forget it, it seems that you are also good people, I will let you pass this time, and you have to study hard in the future." The butler stroked his beard and announced.

Lu Wang: "!" Don't!Butler, you read wrong, we are lazy and stupid, please let us go home!

Wei Wei: "!" No!The housekeeper, we regret it!We don't want to come!

"Xiao Wu." The housekeeper called a servant, "This is the new woodcutter, this is Wei Yi, this is Lu Er, you take them to the wing."

"Yes," Xiao Wu replied, and turned to Lu Wang and Wei Wei: "You two come with me."

Lu Wang was startled: "Well, housekeeper, did we just live in the mansion? Don't we need to go home and pack our bags?"

"No need, tell your steward if you need anything, and it will be ready. As for the luggage, we can send someone to help you tidy it up. Where do you live?"

Wei Wei: "...We think about it, and there is nothing to tidy up, so don't bother."

After a while, the two saw their own wing, which was only the two of them lived in, although it was not big, it was still clean.Wei Wei fell on the kang, "Lu Wang, why do I think this Liu Mansion is so scary, I feel like I can't get out once I come in."

Lu Wang fell beside her and comforted her: "Don't worry, if we don't go back, my father and your father will definitely come to look for us, and then we can go out."

"Well, yes."

The housekeeper followed behind Liu Qingxu: "Miss, why did you ask them to take a test and then leave them behind?" In fact, woodcutters only need to be strong enough, and the same is true for Liu's mansion.Although the master advocated that everyone read more, he would not force the people in the mansion to study, but Liu Qingxu specifically told him to say so when he came here just now. "Besides, those two are the daughters of the Lu family and the Wei family. Will there be any trouble if Miss keeps them in the mansion?"

"I told my father about this, let him tell Mr. Lu that her niece will stay and play in the Liu Mansion, and then Mr. Lu will convey it to Mr. Lu and Patriarch Wei, so that they will be fine."

The butler was taken aback, "Why did Miss spend so much effort to keep the two of them?"

"No, I just want to keep Lu Wang in the mansion, but since Wei Wei has followed, Lu Wang will definitely follow her when she goes back, so I can only wrong Miss Wei."

"But..." But why do you want to keep Lu Wang?The housekeeper still doesn't understand, it's the same as not saying what the lady said.

That night, Lu Yanran came to the door, "A Yu, A Wei, your daughter went to Liu's house to play, and she will be staying for a while, so she won't be coming back."

Mrs. Lu: "Okay."

Master Lu looked at Mrs. Lu who responded immediately: "..."

Lu Yanran ran to Wei Mansion again. She remembered that Wei Zang and his wife had recently come to the imperial capital, "Wei Zang, Ah Yue, your daughter and Lu Wang went to Liu Mansion to play and will stay for a while."

"Didn't she say when she'll be back?" Wei Zang asked.

"Okay." Mrs. Wei replied, and turned to look at Wei Zang, "Do you have no idea when she will come back? Every time she runs out, she won't come back for less than a month, and this time she went to the Liu Mansion , let her study more with others. Ah Ran, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Three days have passed.

During the past three days, Lu Wang and Wei Wei got up at [-] o'clock every day to recite books, chopped firewood at [-] o'clock, waited for dinner at [-] o'clock, copied books from [-] o'clock to [-] o'clock, and then exchanged them for dinner. The regular life of taking a bath with the body and then paralyzing on the kang.

Why hasn't anyone come to take us home yet? !
