Liao Yuanyuan laughed again and said: "In that case, don't go out, I simply won't go, let's talk with you here! Anyway, it's lively every year, maybe it will be even more lively next year!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Xiaoshu thanked him and ordered tea to be served, and the two chatted in the room.
After waiting for a long time, there was finally a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, mixed with the frightened and crying shrill voices of women and women, and they were all taken aback.
Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly said: "I don't know what's wrong, let's go out and have a look!"
When the two went out, those people had already gone to the garden to find Lu Wenxuan and Mu Qing, so Lu Xiaoshu and Liao Yuanyuan hurriedly followed.
"Master Hou, Madam! It's not good! Suddenly there are many military men with weapons on the street outside, smashing and looting the shops and shops! There is a mess outside, and many people are still going Our house is here..."
The voice of the mother-in-law who said this was trembling, and she was used to living a smooth and peaceful life all her life. This kind of sudden change was like a bolt from the blue to her—it still hit her head A bolt from the blue!
As soon as she finished speaking, the women and women who rushed in with her also chirped, crying and asking "what to do!", Lu Wenxuan and Mu Qing were also stunned, Lu Wenxuan hurriedly drank After staying with all the people, I ordered Nanny Hua to go out to have a closer look, and asked Butler Qi to go to the door to have a look in person.
"Why, how could this happen!" Liao Yuanyuan's heart was also beating in shock, and she said, "Obviously nothing happened when I went out..."
Lu Xiaoshu didn't speak, and secretly wondered: Marquis Wugong lost his mind? He didn't control the city gates, important yamen and the homes of key officials, he didn't attack the palace to arrest the emperor, and he let his soldiers beat, smash and snatch them, what kind of trouble was he going to do...
Afterwards, Lu Xiaoshu learned that the capital is too big, and the location of the Lu residence is far from the palace. In fact, the rebellion has already happened, but it will take some time to spread to this side.
At this time, the matter has already progressed to the second half, Wu Gonghou's subordinates have been dispersed, and they are completely chaotic. A windfall, and then fled the capital...
"Master Hou! Ma'am! It's not good! It's not good!" Qi Butler, Lu Guang, and Lu Hua rushed in from outside panting, and said, "Hou Ye! I heard that Marquis Wu Gong rebelled tonight, and there is chaos outside. In a group, many soldiers robbed everywhere, and many of us came from outside the Lu residence, and the old slave asked people to close the gate, but I am afraid that they may not be able to stop those desperadoes who are left alone, what should I do, Lord Marquis!"
As soon as Butler Qi finished speaking, there was an uproar in the garden, crying, shouting, and screaming, and various objects were knocked over and overturned, adding to the chaos.
Mao cried miserably: "What can we do! My master went out after dinner! Master, if something happens to this, how will our mothers live! Brother, please, send Let's go and get our master back!"
Mao was about to kneel down towards Lu Wenxuan while crying.
When Mao cried out like this, her two sons and daughters also cried out.
Lu Wenxuan was yelling at everyone, and ordered Lu Guang, Lu Hua, and Steward Liao to quickly gather all the servants in the mansion, and wait behind the street gate wall of the mansion with sticks, so that no one from outside could be allowed to come in.
Just as he was giving orders, Lu Wenxuan was taken aback when he saw Mrs. Mao like this, and hurriedly turned to the side to avoid it: "Third siblings, what are you doing!"
"Third brother and sister, you can't help it! Get up quickly, and say something if you have something to say!" Mu Qing was also frightened, and quickly helped her up herself, and asked someone to persuade her two children.
"Sister-in-law, please, please help me to intercede with my elder brother! Please send someone to find our master! Our master can't do anything!" Mao turned and grabbed Mu Qing and cried : "Sister-in-law, I have never harmed you since you came back. I sincerely treat you as a family! Sister-in-law, you can't do nothing! From now on, we will listen to you I can't just listen to you guys..."
Lu Xiaoshu watched from the side, his heart was full of sparks, and he wondered what time it is, this third aunt is still so confused! Lu's mansion is not small, what if someone really sneaks in from somewhere, what will happen!
Lu Xiaoshu stomped his feet and shouted: "Father! You should go to the outer courtyard quickly and see how to arrange it! This inner house is full of female relatives, what if those rebels break in? ! From now on, the children and dependents of this yard don’t need to be human anymore!”
Mao was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at his daughter. Compared with her husband, her own innocence and her daughter's reputation are of course more important!
The Mao family stopped making trouble all of a sudden.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Wenxuan immediately got away, nodded to Lu Xiaoshu, and said, "Xiaoshu, take good care of your mother and the others, I'll go out and have a look!"
"Master Hou, be more careful!"
"Don't worry, Dad!"
Mu Qing and Lu Xiaoshu said at the same time, watching Lu Wenxuan hastily lead people away.
"Sister-in-law..." Mao came back to her senses and pestered Mu Qing again.
Mu Qing had no choice but to comfort her softly. After all, at this time, no one is in a hurry. She can't just leave people here and ignore her in such a panic.
"Third Aunt, do you know where Third Uncle has gone?" Lu Xiaoshu asked impatiently, raising his voice.
Hearing Lu Xiaoshu's words, Mrs. Mao was like a drowning man grasping at straws, and he didn't care about anything. He was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "He said to go to the Lantern Market!"
"Third Aunt," Lu Xiaoshu smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said, "In a place as big as the capital, there are lights markets on countless streets in the four urban districts tonight. Where do you want us to find Third Uncle?"
Mao was stunned for a moment, speechless.
"Third aunt won't let all the servants in the house be sent out, right? Who will stop those rebels at that time?" After Lu Xiaoshu finished speaking, he comforted: "Third uncle is a native of the capital. If there is something wrong, I will naturally know to find a safe place to hide. The capital is so big, can the rebels reach every place? Don't worry, Third Uncle will be fine!"
"Yes, yes! Xiao Shu is right! Third Uncle will definitely save the day!" Mu Qing also hurriedly said.
Mao's heart was already so confused that he lost his mind. Hearing this, he felt a little relieved, and said in a daze: "Really, really? Will he really be fine?"
"That's natural!" Lu Xiaoshu frowned, and said, "If we don't think about countermeasures, we will be the ones who have trouble!"
These words successfully attracted Mao's attention, and the other maids and women were also surprised.
"Xiao Shu, don't scare the third aunt, the third aunt is timid, her legs and feet are weak!" Mao's face turned pale.
"Why are you bluffing! Although Dad and the others are guarding outside, our yard is so big and there are only so few people in total. What if someone crawls in from some corner, what should we do?" Lu Xiaoshu argued plausibly.
"That's right!"
"Oh, what can I do!"
"Amitabha, God bless!"
Everyone panicked all of a sudden.
"Xiao Shu," Mu Qing panicked, trying to calm down and said, "If you have any ideas, tell me quickly!"
Lu Xiaoshu quickly said: "Our people can't be scattered anymore, we have to gather together; don't go back to the courtyard, find a secluded small courtyard in this garden and hide first, and wait until the matter is over! At the second door of the inner house , later I will let Du Juan and Hongye bring a dozen or twenty strong women and women to guard them, and if there is anything, they will shout loudly so that we can know—”
Speaking of the last two sentences, the servants who felt that they were in the ranks of "strong and rough women and wives" immediately protested and made a lot of noise.
"Shut up!" Lu Xiaoshu sternly shouted, "Du Juan and Hong E are with you, what are you afraid of? You are just servants, if someone breaks in, you haven't been told to resist. All you need to do is yell and cry for us to hear. After that, you just need to be honest and avoid it. Who will make it difficult for you? If you go obediently, there will be a big reward after this incident, and you will be kept for half your life You don’t have to worry about food and clothing! If anyone doesn’t want to go, well, even if you escape today, you will be sold tomorrow! Those who don’t listen to the master’s words and are disloyal to the master, what are you doing with them?”
As soon as Lu Xiaoshu finished speaking, everyone fell silent and did not dare to utter a single word.
Everyone suddenly discovered that the second young lady, who usually smiles like a little girl who can't grow up, is so aggressive and decisive, she seems to be a different person. No one dared to refute her words.
"Will you listen to me or not?" Lu Xiaoshu said coldly with his eyes raised.
"Listen, listen! We all listen to the second lady, and everything is arranged by the second lady!"
"Yes, yes! Second Miss is right, listen to Second Miss!"
How dare everyone say no? Immediately they all changed their minds.
Thinking about it carefully, I am just a slave. Even if those rebels broke in, they would probably want to rob money. At that time, they would run away and hide in the dark. Who would chase after a slave? I am not a beautiful woman... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneak a glance at the young and beautiful Rhododendron and Red Calyx.
With the beautiful looks of these two girls as a shield, I am actually quite safe...
"Then listen to my arrangements, and don't talk too much!" Lu Xiaoshu immediately ordered in a cold voice, ordered a few people, and ordered: "You go to the courtyard and call all the maids, women, and servants to Jingming Hall Go!" Turning around, he turned to Mu Qing and said, "Mother, third aunt, let's go back to Jingmingtang first!"
