Qu Yunchu wanted to take a quick step forward and rush out of this depressing tall courtyard.

I thought Lu Junwan would be able to survive this New Year more or less with Lu Junwan at home.

Now that Sanniang and Lu Wenjing had suddenly left the mansion, facing this cold face alone, she felt that Fengya Pavilion was even more deserted and lonely.

But after looking at the suddenly gentle eyes in front of him, Qu Yunchu still resisted his inner impulse and did not rush out of the house immediately.

After all, they are a couple in name only. Even if they don't like being together with him, they still have to pretend to be deeply in love.

"How can I leave the official alone in the house during the Chinese New Year? Sanniang and Fourth Master have left and there will be less excitement. If I go to Qujia Village again, wouldn't it mean that the official will become a loner and spread the word? What kind of words."

Qu Yunchu sneered at Jizhen and Keyan and said, "When can we not go to Qujia Village? We have to make arrangements to appease the villagers at this juncture."

After he finished speaking, the topic changed: "But..."

But before the conversation could be answered, Lu Wenqian took over: "It's just that I'm overthinking it. It turns out that Madam doesn't want to go to the Wei family's house?"

"Well, I always think about what they are doing. It's just because I have some old friendship with Naqu Tianshi, and I miss her mother and little sister who are now orphans and widowed, so I take more care of them."

Qu Yunchu always felt that he was testing something, so he deliberately concealed it, and then explained it seriously:
"The officials sympathize with the poor villagers. I will treat myself as a husband and a wife. At present, Liu Zhizao and the government are making every effort to purge the major royal merchants and strictly investigate bad habits. Our Lu family has had unpleasant troubles with Qujia Village several times before. This time is indeed the time. We should give them more comfort.”

Glancing at Lu Wenqian, who was listening intently, she continued: "Logically speaking, the first year after I married into the Lu family, I should spend the New Year with the officials, but if our love lasts for a long time, how can we spend time together in court? Twilight, it’s better to focus on the big things first.”

Lu Wenqian looked at her serious nonsense and couldn't help but smile.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a pair of slender fingers suddenly spread out and rested on his cheeks. His arms rested leisurely on the wheelchair. He said slowly: "Madam, continue."

"go on?"

Qu Yunchu was stunned: "I've finished speaking, so I will immediately complete what the official told me."

Just as he was about to move away, Lu Wenqian said humbly: "But I suddenly feel that I can't live without my wife for a day. Thinking about the matter in Qujiacun, I'm actually not that anxious."

As he said that, he looked at her with slightly lowered eyelids: "How about we talk after the New Year?"

"This……"

Qu Yunchu gritted his teeth secretly, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

Ahem, the performance was ruined.

But why did this guy think of letting himself go to Qujiacun during the Chinese New Year? It was against common sense.

Now that Lu Yanchao is in the limelight, the Lu family cannot be allowed to suspect his relationship with the Wei family, let alone his relationship with Xuanduguan.

Although Lu Wenqian didn't know what the relationship was between her and the Wei family and the little Douding, during the period of contact with her, he was most relaxed and at ease only when he saw her with the mother and daughter, as if they were family members.

Today's Lu Mansion is as lifeless as the Tomb of the Living Dead. It's unfortunate for him to be trapped in it. He doesn't want her "ally" to suffer here with him.

After all, she saved Zhang Jinnian, and she did not care about sacrificing her own reputation to accompany him in acting in front of others.

Thinking about what happened in Qishuang Courtyard a few days ago, Lu Wenqian didn't want to embarrass her anymore, and waved his hand decisively: "Go ahead, it is especially important to appease people at this time."

Relented so quickly?
Facing the sudden turn of events, Qu Yunchu raised his eyes to look at the lonely figure in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't bear it.

"But you..."

"Nothing but."

Lu Wenqian smiled and said: "I have traveled all over the country over the years and have become accustomed to being alone. It would be uncomfortable if you stayed at home to watch the New Year with me."

After thinking for a while, he added: "If you like that little girl from the Qu family, you can bring her back to your house after the New Year."

Qu Yunchu, who was still a little moved at first, became wary after hearing these words.

Could it be that this crazy critic is trying to take advantage of Ah Ah?
But after thinking about it, it seemed impossible.

He has not yet awakened the consciousness of the Ghost King, so how can he know about the Holy Child lighting the lamp to lead the way.

Moreover, she was very worried about letting A'a stay in Qujiacun. She had long wanted to bring him to her for easy care, but she was afraid that it would be too intrusive.

Now that he has spoken, there is no need for him to shirk.

"Just follow the officer's wishes."

Qu Yunchu stopped being pretentious, looked at him again, put aside the worries in his heart, and said resolutely: "Then I'm leaving?" "Yes."

Lu Wenqian smiled and nodded: "New Year's Eve in Jiaping."

"New Year in Jiaping, I wish you a long and prosperous life."

Qu Yunchu also congratulated him with a pious look.

Later, he left Fengyage with Ji Zhen and Keyan.

With the high-sounding reason of sending New Year's goods to Qujiacun to appease people's hearts, the elders of the Lu family couldn't find any fault in it.

Lu Wenqian watched the few people leave, completely disappearing from sight, and his slightly lost pretty face returned to calmness.

It's strange, why is she so close to Mrs. Wei and the little girl?

He risked offending Lu Yanchao and the entire Lu family several times to protect the untouchables in Qujia Village?

Lu Wenqian couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

"Could it be that she really has a close relationship with Naqu Tianshi?"

Thinking about Zhang Jinnian and Qu Tianshi's charming appearance and reputation, Lu Wenqian gradually began to think it was reasonable.

After all, that woman did deserve to be treated like this.

……

In the Li Rong courtyard, Lu Yanchao was personally taking care of his little wife. The servants were all waiting in the courtyard for him to arrange the New Year's Eve banquet, but he was extremely indifferent to it.

Ever since her mother broke the protective jade plaque, Tang Youning has been confused and confused these days and nights. Although it is not as scary as the previous days, she is always woken up at night, which makes Lu Yanchao very worried.

"Official, now my mother has gone to Tanzhou, and my grandmother has gone to fast and pray for blessings. The house is deserted. Why don't we go to my father's house earlier to congratulate the new year? After the New Year, my father will have to rush to Beijing. I I want to spend more time with him and my mother."

Tang Youning was really afraid of staying at home anymore, so she deliberately asked him to accompany her back to the Tang family in a coquettish way.

Just at this moment, Ji Ping rushed in from outside and truthfully reported to the family owner that Qu Yunchu had taken people to Qujia Village to deliver New Year's goods.

Although Lu Yanchao was still angry about what happened in Qujiacun, he felt somewhat guilty when he carefully recalled everything that happened in Qujiacun.

Sighing heavily, he said with a gloomy look: "It's really difficult for my second uncle. During the Chinese New Year, I have to ask him to use my second aunt to appease those unruly people."

Thinking again about Liu Quan's drastic crackdown on the imperial merchants, half of the children in the family had to brave the bitter cold winter and rush to various places at starry nights to preside over the situation.

Such a sad thing, even when the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation was not so severe.

He still remembered that when Emperor Ming Zhao came to the throne, the Crescent Party was so rampant that they impeached the Lu family several times a day, but his second uncle easily overcame the difficulties.

Now that he has taken over as the head of the family, his actions will not be any worse than his.

"Go, let the housekeeper give the order. Today, the New Year's Eve dinner for each room will be purchased by me, Qi Rong Yuan. I will also give each room 5000 two-year-old silver and [-] bolts of silk cloth for the head of each room. Those who go out on business will double the amount."

"Yes."

Ji Ping immediately responded.

After explaining the matter, Lu Yanchao came back to his senses and looked at the anxious Tang Youning again, and said awkwardly: "Madam, you have also seen that the Lu family can't live without me at the moment. I will wrong you for the time being this year and won't go back to my father-in-law's house. ."

What he said next, he didn't say clearly, as long as he survives this period, Zhang Jinnian will not dare to embarrass the Lu family again when his godmother passes the message.

Tang Youning was in a state of confusion: "But..."

"There is no but."

Lu Yanchao lost his patience and shouted loudly: "This Chinese New Year, you just stay at home."

After saying that, he walked away directly.

Tang Youning suddenly felt extremely lonely. They had only been married for a month, and he treated her as if he was a different person.

Is this still the brother Yanchao that he wanted to marry before? (End of chapter)
