Chapter 198: A New Arrangement
It was almost half an hour before everything was dressed.
Then, Lu Chiye led her to the mirror and gave her a relatively simple bun.
After that, I walked with her into the courtyard.
Remembering that Qiu Yan was not feeling well today, Lu Chiye didn't think of taking her to inspect the store together.
The two of them now snuggled up to each other and sat on a bench in the garden outside.
This chair is also specially modified by Qiu Yan, with a thick layer of cotton on it, like a simple sofa.
Lu Chiye held the account book in his hand, and while reading, he massaged Qiu Yan's shoulder.
Once the hand was a little lighter, Qiu Yan would gently pat him on the shoulder to see the reminder.
"It's a little heavier, my whole body hurts now, and you'll have to help me massage my calves later."
"Okay, listen to Madame, do you want to help you massage your waist? How do you feel now? "Lu Chiye is as good-tempered as ever.
"It's uncomfortable anywhere anyway, it's all your fault."
As he spoke, Qiu Yan pinched his cheek.
It's so greasy, and before I know it, a long time has passed, and even lunch is solved in the garden.
After the afternoon, the sun was too warm today, Qiu Yan was reluctant to return to the room, and the two continued to sit in the courtyard.
In the afternoon, when General Wang hurried over, he happened to see the two of them flirting in the courtyard, and suddenly felt the temperature above his ears rise all of a sudden.
But this time he came over, and he did have very important things to deal with.
He could only take a deep breath, cough lightly twice, and walk towards the two of them.
Listening to General Wang's movements, the two parted in a bit of a panic and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.
"General Wang came here today, is there something you want to look for us?"
"I really have something very important to tell you."
As he spoke, General Wang took out Qiu Yan's previous deed of sale from his arms, and then put it on the table.
After taking the cold tea on the table and drinking it all, he said, "This is what I promised you before, I said that I will definitely get Mrs. Lu's deed of sale back." ”
"Now, you can finally rest assured."
Hearing what General Wang said, Lu Chiye was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the deed of sale, and after taking a closer look, he slowly hooked the corners of his mouth.
greeted the maid, and soon, after letting people take out a candle, it was completely burned in front of Qiu Yan and them.
Taking advantage of the fact that General Wang was here today, the three of them discussed it by the way, the person who Qiu Yan brought to Hualu before.
During this time, the only one who could arouse their suspicion was that Zhang Gongzi.
Therefore, after Lu Chiye roughly described the description of Zhang Gongzi, General Wang already had a guess in his heart after listening to it.
After thinking carefully about the more interesting things in the capital recently, my eyes suddenly lit up.
took the initiative to say, "You wait, I'll arrange it, maybe in two days, there will be an invitation for you." ”
"Don't shirk when the time comes, let people contact me as soon as you get the invitation, and I'll go with you."
Seeing that General Wang looked like he was in his chest, the two of them were also a little relieved, and hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Sure enough, two days later, Lu Chiye had already received an invitation from the little guy at the door.
The invitation said that the well-known Marquis Fang was going to invite them to a small party.
After Qiu Yan leaned over to take a look, he asked with some curiosity.
"It seems that this little Marquis Fang usually likes to play with those ups and downs, and I have asked people to inquire before, and I heard that he is also a knight, but his family's title has been passed on to his generation, and he has no rights."
"Yes, because of this, his family is wealthy, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he has a knighthood, which sounds pretty good."
"On that day every month, he will invite some talented people in the capital, or family and friends to his home."
After speaking, the little guy who Lu Chiye had just arranged to reply to General Wang also came back.
Standing in front of the two of them, he said respectfully.
"The head of the family, madam, General Wang said that he will take the two of you to participate in this party at that time, and said that the little marquis usually likes to sing poetry, but he is not a pedantic scholar, I hope you two can prepare a little gift to bring over."
"Understood, you go down first," Lu Chiye nodded, waited for the little guy to leave, and gently touched Qiu Yan's head.
"If you're going to prepare something fun, you're going to have to work hard, madame."
"Don't worry, I know what to expect. This type of white-faced scholar is the best gift, just leave it to me. ”
Qiu Yan knew in his heart that the reason why General Wang said this was to bring the couple to get to know that little Marquis Fang.
Since General Wang took a lot of trouble this time to let them receive this post from Fang Xiaohouye, it is estimated that there will be arrangements later.
It's just right, let's go and see if I can meet the previous Zhang Gongzi who likes vassal elegance there.
Thinking about it, the two of them completely settled down.
But I didn't expect that two days later, General Wang took the two of them in a carriage together, and when he arrived at the door of Fang Xiaohouye's house, he found that there was just a carriage that collided with them almost face to face.
Soon, the curtain of the carriage on the opposite side was lifted.
When Qiu Yan and the two of them also got off the carriage together, they happened to collide with the Zhang Gongzi opposite.
As soon as he saw that Zhang Gongzi appear, Qiu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
secretly said in his heart, it really took no effort to come, look at how he is running at this time!
However, just as she was about to take two steps forward and stop him directly, Zhang Gongzi suddenly found that the two appeared, but her pupils suddenly constricted in fright, and she subconsciously wanted to return to the carriage.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to step into the carriage, another person actually got down from it.
The boy who was a little rounder looked at Zhang Gongzi in such a frightened state, and he was extremely dissatisfied.
He pushed her to the ground and looked at him very unhappily.
"What are you doing here? Today, Fang Xiaohou invited us to be a guest, is it possible that you still want to escape temporarily? Hurry up and lead the way! Today, I have prepared a pretty good gift for Fang Xiaohou. ”
As he spoke, he wanted to walk towards the door of the Hou Mansion.
But when he turned around, Lu Chiye's eyes suddenly widened.
The person in front of him was none other than Liu Hui, the young man who was ordered by the imperial court to go to Qiguang Mansion to help them!
It's really a narrow road, and today I actually met two people in a row who might have hurt them before.
Qiu Yan and the two clenched their fists tightly, and after finally suppressing the anger in their hearts, they pretended not to see anything, and walked inside with General Wang.
After a while, until he was getting farther and farther away from Liu Hui and that Zhang Gongzi, Lu Chiye came to General Wang's side and asked in a low voice.
"General Wang, has that Liu Hui been punished after returning to the capital?"
"We told you before that he didn't do anything practical after he arrived at Qiguang Mansion, but caused us a lot of trouble."
"I know, I've asked people to inquire before, but I heard that he was confined at home by his father a while ago, but I didn't expect it to come out now."
General Wang looked at Liu Hui with disgust that was difficult to hide.
He was indeed unfavorable before, and there was evidence collected by Qiu Yan.
After General Wang arranged for someone to quietly send these evidences to the emperor, he really made the emperor unhappy.
Although his family is in a high position, the construction of Qiguang Mansion is also very important.
The emperor never expected that Liu Hui, who was personally recommended by others, was such a straw bag.
After arriving at Qiguang Mansion, not only did he not do anything practical, but he caused a lot of trouble to Qiuyan and them.
In a fit of anger, he severely punished the Liu family.
Although Liu Hui was also locked up in the ancestral hall by his father, he suffered a lot.
However, since it has come out now, it is estimated that there are no skin injuries.
Listening to what General Wang said just now, Qiu Yan suddenly had some guesses in his heart, and whispered in Lu Chiye's ear.
"The family surnamed Liu is quite powerful, if the people in his family knew that it was because of the relationship between the two of us who sent evidence that their family was punished, that Liu Hui would definitely be the first to be the one who couldn't help but clean us up."
"Yes, after all, the person who had the biggest conflict with us before is him, he is a small-bellied chicken intestine, who knows what shameless things he will do behind his back!" Lu Chiye's face was also a little ugly.
Maybe Qiu Yan was taken away by that Zhang's mother before, and it was that Liu Hui who connected with Zhang Gongzi in the back and deliberately made it.
If he was allowed to find out the truth of the matter, he would never let the two of them go so easily!
"Don't be impatient, you two don't be impatient, today is Fang Xiaohou's banquet guests, no matter what you say, you have to stabilize it first." General Wang reminded in a low voice.
"Understood, please rest assured General Wang, the two of us will definitely hold on to the end."
Qiu Yan said, took a deep breath, and grabbed Lu Chiye's wrist tightly.
The two looked at each other, and soon regained their usual composure.
Following behind General Wang, he greeted the people around him very calmly.
Under the leadership of General Wang, he finally walked in front of Fang Xiaohouye, this Fang Xiaohou Ye is indeed quite handsome.
Maybe it's because of the deficiency that he looks a little thinner than the average man.
But he still admired General Wang, and as soon as he saw him coming, he immediately pushed away the maid serving beside him and took the initiative to greet him.
