Chapter 18 Getting Married?

Lu Wanqing saw that the head of the school took her sister-in-law to do morning classes every day, and she admired the old woman a little more in her heart. How could an ordinary person be able to achieve such a firm and cold heart?There were times when Lu Wanqing always felt that the head of the hospital looked at her with something special.Maybe each of them has secrets hidden in their hearts that cannot be known by outsiders, so they all tacitly know each other and live in peace and harmony.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Although the villages and market towns under the mountain were full of lively New Year scenes, the temple was still very deserted.The head courtyard called Lu Wanqing to his meditation room, and said: "Now there are a few rooms available in the side rooms, do you want to move here? That side courtyard has been abandoned for a long time, and there are no beds and bedding. It will snow soon. If you can't survive , just move here."

Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm used to living there, and I like to be more free, so I won't bother you here."

The head courtyard was silent for a while, "" Without saying anything, he let Lu Wanqing leave, and continued to twist the Buddhist beads and knock on the wooden fish while muttering something, a handful of incense ash was blown off the burning incense by the wind, and flew to the pale head of the head courtyard. On the bun.

Lu Wanqing saw it, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, thinking that in her previous life, she was killed in her 20s, and her fate in this life would not be [-], and she did not live to be "old".If I survive this calamity, will I be like this when I grow old?

She finally understood why it was said that a confidante is unlucky, because a confidante can't withstand the passing of time, and sometimes a confidante who is unlucky is more remembered by people than this old tree.She doesn't want to grow old like this...the only way is to die at the most glorious time of life, or...to embark on the path of cultivation, to have a beautiful face forever, to have strong strength, to protect her life, and to live freely in the world.

In the second half of the day, when Lu Wanqing came back from hunting, she saw a white-washed aunt standing at the gate of the courtyard, rubbing her hands together, with an anxious expression on her face.

Lu Wanqing walked over quickly, and shouted from a distance: "Gu He, what do you want from me?"

When Gu He saw Lu Wanqing, she hurriedly said: "At noon today, the Lu family sent a maid named Xia He to bring you some living expenses. After waiting here for a long time, the head of the house asked her to go to the front yard first. Eat, let me wait for you here."

A gleam of joy flashed in Lu Wanqing's eyes, something suddenly came to her mind, her heart sank again, her expression remained calm, she put down her backpack and followed Aunt He to the front yard.

When seeing Xia He, Lu Wanqing saw that the other party was obviously much more haggard than two months ago, and his figure was even thinner.Seeing Lu Wanqing, she rushed forward excitedly, with tears in her eyes, "Girl, girl, are you okay here?"

Lu Wanqing took the other party's hand and said repeatedly: "Okay, I'm fine here. The head of the house and my sister-in-law take good care of me, and I am very free."

Seeing that everyone was around, Xia He calmed down and handed the package to the other party, "This is something specially prepared by Aunt Tian for you. She said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it was customary to go back home. Chinese New Year, but..." She paused at this point.Lu Wanqing patted the back of the other party's hand knowingly, and stopped the other party's words at the right time: "I know, I know, mother, is she okay?"

"Well, Aunt Tian is still the same as before, with Nanny Li around, no one in the backyard dares to do anything..."

Although Lu Wanqing has not met her "mother" formally, but from the memory of the original owner, she still feels that Tian is a very weak woman.But Nanny Li is different, pungent, but protecting the Lord.

The two talked for a while, and Lu Wanqing didn't have much sense of belonging to the Lu family, so he fulfilled his wish in two or three sentences. Arrange to rest in the backyard wing room.Lu Wanqing took the package and thanked the head of the house and the aunts, said goodbye to Xia He and returned to her small courtyard.

In fact, Xia He really wanted to live with Lu Wanqing in the small courtyard, but since they had been separated for more than two months, she felt that her former mistress seemed even stranger, so she stopped pushing.

As for Xia He, if she was arranged to serve him from the beginning, maybe the two of them are now on the same front.However, after the conversation just now, Lu Wanqing faintly felt that the other party seemed to have an overwhelming affection for her current master Lu Wanying. The reason why she gave her something to compare this time was also because of the relationship between Tian and Nanny Li.Therefore, the friendship between the two of them has been exhausted.

In the package was a floral skirt with blue background, a pair of cotton shoes and a pack of glutinous rice cakes. The things seemed simple, but Lu Wanqing knew that Tian's squeezed these out of her own living expenses, and it was exactly what she was doing now. It is necessary, knowing a daughter is like a mother, Lu Wanqing is very grateful in her heart.

Lu Wanqing took off the shoes wrapped with cloth towels on her feet, and put the cotton shoes on her feet... her toes were touched by something hard, and with a heartbeat, she poured out the contents—it turned out to be two pieces of silver.

Lu Wanqing felt that her vision was blurred all of a sudden, Tian was so hardworking, she probably knew that if she gave something to her baby, she would definitely be searched, so she came up with this method.

Xia He went down the mountain early the next day, and Lu Wanqing went to a nearby market town with money in his basket on his back.As the end of the year approached, the market was much more lively than usual. She bought dozens of catties of rice noodles, oil, salt, etc. and filled a basket full of them.Even though her physical strength is much better than before, she didn't return to the small courtyard until half an hour later. Just as she finished packing her things, Aunt He called her from outside the courtyard gate.

Lu Wanqing came out quickly, and asked with a smile, "Gu He, what can you do with me?"

Aunt He had a smile on her face, "Oh, it's like this, this year is the new year, today is exactly the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve, the director asked us to make dumplings stuffed with white flour and meat, thinking of you alone, let me come over and invite you together Eating dumplings is lively."

Lu Wanqing was a little moved in her heart, and said happily: "That's it, oh, it's just right, I went to the mountain to catch a pheasant two days ago, it's just right to stew it into soup and cook dumplings. Wait a minute and I'll take it out."

He Gu is about 40 years old, but the tempering of life makes her look about [-] years old, her hair is a little gray, her face is covered with wrinkles, her eyes are ashen and indifferent, as if she has seen all the vicissitudes of life.This Auntie Temple is the last shelter of abandoned women or widows and helpless women nearby. She has been coming to Auntie Temple for more than ten years. Countless people come and go, and she has also seen all kinds of people. For example, people like Mei Gu who are corrupt and willing to degenerate just for one bite of food, but these rarely make her feel emotional.

However, when she saw Lu Wanqing, although the other party was silent all day long, she sincerely won the appreciation and approval of the aunt in the temple.Although this girl was born into a wealthy family, she has no pretensions at all, she understands human relationships and things, she seems to be more sensible than those children from poor families, and knows how to make a living, so I can't help but like it a little more.

A bowl of steaming dumplings made Lu Wanqing finally feel something called warmth in this time and space. The contempt and calculation of the "family" made Lu Wanqing have no sense of belonging to the Lu family.The Lu family made her feel deeply terrified, not to mention that she suffered from flogging as soon as she transmigrated, and a girl from a rich family skipped food and clothing.Of course, she is not the original owner, she just borrowed this body and her identity as a concubine from the Lu family. To put it bluntly, apart from these, the Lu family is a stranger just like everyone else.

That's fine, the balance between grievances and resentments saves her many entanglements.

It's been raining and snowing for the past few days during the Chinese New Year, and it's hard for Lu Wanqing to go hunting in the mountains anymore, not because she doesn't want to, but because she's afraid of ruining the pair of cotton shoes that "mother" made for her.So she has more time to meditate and practice every day.Sometimes after morning class, she would stay in the front yard and chat with the sisters-in-law for a while. Subtly, Lu Wanqing got along with everyone more harmoniously.

Just after the fifteenth day, when the soil on the road had just dried, people from the Lu family came.It was still Xia He, with an anxious and expectant look on her face, as soon as she saw Lu Wanqing, she told him to pack up quickly, the driver was waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Wanqing packed two changes of clothes in the package, and then put all the pots and pans she bought and the remaining firewood, rice, oil and salt into the back basket.Seeing this, Xia He faltered and said, "Girl, actually you don't need to bring so many things back..."

Lu Wanqing didn't stop, and asked casually with a calm expression, "Oh? Why?"

Xia He immediately changed his words: "Oh, it's nothing, let me help you."

The two quickly packed up and went to bid farewell to the head courtyard.The head of the courtyard still looked calm and breezy. He took a fixed look at Lu Wanqing and said, "The benefactor takes care of it."

Lu Wanqing bowed back and said solemnly, "Treasure."

"Can you tell me what happened now?" Lu Wanqing sat in the carriage and said to Xia He.

Xia He was still hesitating, his eyes dodged, Lu Wanqing concentrated for a while, and understood in her heart.His eyes looked out of the car window with a bitter expression.Just now, she used her mind-reading technique to sense the other party's inner thoughts, and as expected, the Meng family proposed marriage to the Lu family.Lu Wanqing had long been prepared for this matter, and what made her feel the most bitter was that Xia He was really bought by Lu Wanying.Last time the other party only had some admiration for Lu Wanying, but now, in his heart, he was also helping the other party.

A maid who had been with "myself" for several years, had only been separated for less than three months, and she loyally recognized others as her master.After experiencing Chunhua's betrayal, Xia He was like this again, which made Lu Wanqing feel really uncomfortable.

In the second half of the day, I returned to the Thorn Lane Courtyard. No one tidied and cleaned it for three months, and the small courtyard became even more dilapidated.As soon as the things were put away, Madam Wu came over to pass on a message: "Miss Qing, the master and wife have found a good marriage for you. The other party is the eldest son of the Meng family of Niubeishan. He is twenty years old and is gentle and polite. You will be a wife when you marry." You can enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth. Not to mention that you are a concubine daughter, even the concubine daughters of many families are not worthy of it, you have to be content..."
