Meng Shisan was almost unable to hold on. Lu's arrival was definitely not for Jiang Ziyao to thank her, so it was naturally impossible for him to bring a thank you gift.
So faced with the doubts in Shang's eyes, what could she say?
I could only try my best not to laugh.
Lu Luo also realized the mistake at this moment. Although he had prepared a speech, he forgot to bring a thank you gift corresponding to the speech!
He turned around and glared at Naishe in embarrassment and despair, without reminding him!
Naishe was also very innocent. He had no idea that his young master would prepare his own speech, but did not bring a corresponding thank you gift, let alone communicate with him in advance. How could he warn him in advance?
Shang saw that Meng Shisan did not respond, and seemed to be having a hard time holding back his laughter. Then he looked at Lu Luo, who was sitting across from him, who was full of embarrassment and annoyance. As the head matron of the house, Her reaction was also very quick, and she immediately understood that any visit to thank her eldest niece was all nonsense.
She straightened her back and immediately sat up straighter.
He is full of nonsense, and it seems that he is really a bully. She is very optimistic about her family, and she must not let her eldest niece be deceived!
In order to avoid being embarrassed in silence, Meng Shisan came to Lu Luo's rescue and said: "I asked the Second Young Master Lu to put the orb away as a thank you gift. The second aunt came just in time, and the Second Young Master Lu came to visit this time. Thank you gift Thank you very much. I also said thank you to Yaoyao. The second young master Lu was about to say goodbye to Yaoyao. The second aunt Lao also sent someone to send the second young master Lu back to his home. Yaoyao is a daughter-in-law, so she will not send the second young master Lu off. .”
After saying this, he bowed: "Second Young Master Lu, please walk slowly."
Now that the conversation has reached this point, what else can Lu Luo do, of course he can only leave.
Shang was very satisfied with Lu Luo's knowledge, and even more satisfied with Meng Shisan's sobriety, and asked Butler Chu who was waiting under the corridor of Qingming Hall to see off the guests in person.
Butler Chu was ordered to send Lu Luo directly out of the gate of Meng Mansion and said: "Second Master Lu, walk slowly."
"Go slowly, I will definitely walk slowly." Lu Luo said cynically replied.
Butler Chu bowed and said goodbye with a smile.
Under the watchful eye of Butler Chu, Lu Luo got into the Lu family's cart. The driver slowly drove out of Tangqian Street, but just as he turned the corner, he asked the Lu family's cart driver to stop. The cart pulled to one side and waited against the wall.
Naishe asked: "Who are you waiting for, young master?"
"Who else can you wait for besides Miss Meng?" Lu Luo said that he had already got out of the carriage and jumped neatly. Get off the car and drive.
Naishe also jumped out of the car: "Miss Meng didn't say she would come out. Young Master is waiting here, won't he wait in vain?"
"She didn't say it. That's because her second aunt was here, so she couldn't tell." Lu Luo said firmly, "I came to see her in person and told her that it was really urgent. However, the housekeeper of the Meng family told me that I couldn't say it first, and then It was Mrs. Meng who came directly. She didn’t even have a chance to talk about business. She just asked me to go first. She will definitely come out when she finds the opportunity. I will wait here and I will definitely be able to wait for her."
"How can you be so sure?" Naishe felt that his son was a little too confident, so he thought that he was too confident. He thought it was impossible for the young lady to give him thousands of taels of silver every time she saw him.
Besides, before entering the Meng Mansion, the young master had suggested that they go to Quexian Tower to talk. Miss Meng refused without even thinking about it, and left the young master with two choices. , but as a result, the young master followed the others in instead of being obedient.
No matter what the circumstances, the young master is always shorter than Miss Meng. How could the young master guess it this time?
"Do you dare to bet? If I lose, I will cover all the money you spent on marrying your wife. If I win, all the money you have saved for so long to marry your wife will be yours." How about taking it out and inviting me to Baolai House to have a good drunken time?" Lu Luo was not annoyed by Naishe's doubts, but in a good mood he proposed to make a small show. It's a pity that Naishe didn't accept the move at all: "I don't dare."
"Why don't you dare? You are just afraid." Lu Luo used the provocation method.
Naishe still wasn't fooled: "I'm just scared. If I win, it's fine. If I lose, all the savings I've saved over the years will be gone."
Lu Luo Naishe, who felt confident in admitting his poverty, was helpless. Just as he was about to encourage the coachman to join the bet, a voice came from the side. : "Second Young Master Lu, my lady said, see you at Wulongya."
"Okay." His voice was filled with a smile and a slight sense of pride, and he looked at Naishe, "Fortunately, you are not here." You dare to bet with me, otherwise, I will have to buy all the hundreds of taels you have to make jade liquor!”
Naishe was very used to his young master having to worry about his savings from time to time. Of course, he also learned this lesson from Naiye. Naiye was often tricked by the young master into placing bets, and every time he bet, he would lose, without exception.
Quixian Tower, the third room from the left on the second floor, Oolong Room.
Meng Shisan didn't have much time to come out. She lied about going out to buy rouge and gouache to get out of the house.
Just like this, if she hadn’t brought up the matter of Aunt Guo’s upcoming return to the palace, the eldest aunt thought that she could not neglect Aunt Guo, so she would definitely send Aunt Guo off, and the eldest aunt would have to follow her. Come out and help her choose rouge and gouache.
So as soon as the two sat down in the guest seat, she immediately got straight to the point: "I wonder what the urgent matter that Second Young Master Lu is talking about?"
"General Qiao will most likely arrive in the capital tonight." Lu Luo picked up the teapot, stretched out his hand, and filled Meng Shisan's empty teacup, "You must be prepared."
"Tonight ?" Meng Shisan expected that Qiao Qiancheng would return to Beijing quickly, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, "General Qiao If he wants to return to the capital, he will definitely have to ask for a favor. He will not be able to set off from Lingnan so quickly. "
Lu Luoxiao looked at Meng Shisan: "I know I can't hide anything from you. "
"Does Second Master Lu mean to know the inside story?" Meng Shisan asked.
Lu Luo shook his head: "How could I, a mere dandy, know this? My brother told me that General Qiao was coming to Beijing tonight. When I heard about it, I thought I should tell you. Then I came to Meng Mansion to find you.”
"Why did Mr. Lu tell you this? What does it have to do with General Qiao's return to Beijing?" Meng Shisan thought logically and felt that Lu Sen must have some purpose in telling this important matter to the man named Lu, "Also Yes, if General Qiao is really able to enter the city tonight, his whereabouts must be kept secret. How will Mr. Lu know about it? And he told you... It will make people think too much."
"Brother. Tell me and I will I’m here to tell you. You’re the only one who needs to think too much.” Before Lu Luo asked Meng Shisan, he straightened out his thoughts, “As for why my elder brother told me, it’s not because... we are. A direct brother from the same mother. "
The eldest brother knew that he liked her, and surprisingly he didn't object. Judging from the fact that the eldest brother specifically informed him of Qiao Qiancheng's whereabouts, the eldest brother not only didn't object, he simply didn't object. Already starting to assist him.
The purpose is to help him win her favor.
