"I... I don't seem to have such important things here..." Lu Qian, who became the head of the Lu family overnight, seemed a little inferior at this time.
"Open that box."
Lu Yu pointed.
Lu Qian turned her head to take a look, and then said bitterly: "My father only sent the box, but not the key. I really don't understand."
"Use a sword." Lu Yu pointed at the remnant sword hanging beside Lu Qian's bed.
Lu Qian asked in surprise: "Cut it off? Isn't this... not so good?"
Lu Yu sighed and said, "Lu Gaofeng didn't give you the key, because that was Lu Gaofeng's key. And you, the new head of the Lu family. You are only thirteen years old, and the problems you are about to face are far greater than this one. A copper box without a key is much more severe, so... Use a sword. It should not be a lock that protects a family, but a sword."
Lu Qian lowered her head to ponder for a while, then drew out the long sword, cut off the lock with a sword, took a deep breath and said, "If I don't understand anymore, I'll be like a lock this time. Come and hold the sword!"
Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a gratified smile appeared on his face, but he was immediately replaced by urgency, and said in a low voice: "The bottom layer of the box should contain the things I need. You can choose to give them to me. You can also choose to keep them in your hands. I dare to assure you that as long as you have them in your hands, you will receive my help for life. No matter what you want in the future and where you sit, I have the confidence to make you successful. ."
Lu Yu said it loudly, and it was annoyingly arrogant, but... Lu Qian thought it was'telling the truth', because she saw Lu Yu's ability with her own eyes. In just a few years, she made a 13-year-old girl The child becomes the head of the family, which is whimsical even in the story, but he did it.
Lu Qian is very curious, she can't help but wonder, she really wants to know what those things are, even if...
Taking a deep breath, Lu Qian took the fastest time to think, as if he hadn't even considered it, then took a step back, turned around, and laughed softly: "The box is here, there are so many things, I don't bother to find it. Whatever it is, you take it away."
She didn't say one more word, but Lu Yu understood. That is, no matter what it is, she doesn't want to know. Avoid the slightest possibility of controlling Lu Yu.
Lu Yu really laughed this time, walked in, knelt down, rummaged in the box for a while, then stood up, led Xiao Ruan to turn around and left. In the process, he didn't say a word, even his hands and feet were light. There was no sound.
Lu Qian, who turned around slowly after leaving only a stick of incense, looked at the empty doorway.
…
Xiao Ruan was also very curious about what Lu Yu took. Unlike Lu Qian, she could really ask.
Helping Lu Yu make the bed, Xiao Ruan sat beside him and asked softly: "Master, what are you doing for so many things?"
Lu Yu reached into his arms and took out two yellowed papers.
He sighed and said, "It's for them that I have spent so much effort. If they are still owned by the Lu family, even if it is only one day, I will feel uncomfortable and uneasy."
Xiao Ruan looked over curiously, but he was suddenly stunned.
One of the pieces of paper was seen once when she was very young. It was when her uncle sold her to the Lu family. She cut her finger with a knife and pressed it on a deed with scarlet handprints. !
Lu Yu smiled lightly, got up and walked to the candlelight, and burned the two sales deeds.
The paper in the fire was extremely fragile, burned very vigorously, and fell on the table, leaving a burnt black mark that could not be erased.
Looking at the fire, Xiao Ruan felt that his whole body was light.
Lu Yu also looked at the fire, and said softly, "Even if my mother gave birth to me, she still remains a slave to the death bond. It seems a bit embarrassing in this Lu Family. It is not just this identity, but the Lu Family that is dangerous. With full power to dispose of her, it means killing at will, and no one will take care of it. If she resists, it will let the government intervene... The calendar will always restrict ordinary people, and it will always protect the rich and powerful... ridiculous?"
He turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruan again, calmly said: "You are sixteen this year, and I am still young."
Lu Yu didn't say anything else, but just these two sentences gave a lot of content.
Xiao Ruan is sixteen years old, and he is an adult at fourteen in this world. It is normal for a man to be married and a daughter to marry. Xiao Ruan is an old girl. And she is beautiful and virtuous, and she is very famous in the Lu Mansion, and she is the object of many people's favorites. If a maid at this age does a good job, she will be given marriage by the head of the family, or married outside, or married to a slightly powerful subordinate in the house. As for the best result, he was accepted as a bed-warming maid by the master, and became a concubine.
But in fact, bed-warming maids and concubines are different. The former has a higher status, and is called the "pillow man", or "big maidservant", which can replace the position of housekeeper.
As for the concubine... Many people say that this identity is very miserable. They think that the concubine is a "little woman" and can only stand forever. She doesn't even have the qualification to'sit down' at home, but in fact... it's even more miserable. 'Wife says to marry, concubine says to accept, concubine buys together, it is cheap and common property. '
A concubine is not a daughter-in-law, nor a'person', but a thing, an object, and can be regarded as an adult's toy. Since it is a toy, you can play it at will, throw it away at will, and beating and scolding is already light. In fact, concubines are inferior to toys, because they cannot have feelings with concubines. If they have, it would be a shame. When the Lord dies, the wife must cry, and the concubine must not cry, because... you don’t even have the qualifications to cry.
The concubine is the ultimate destiny of Xiao Ruan and the best destination. Just because of that piece of paper, that piece since she was four years old, it was destined that she would never be able to'become a human'.
Lu Yu also said that he is still young. Still urinating means that Xiao Ruan is destined to have no way of becoming a bed-warmer and the "Bright Avenue" of a concubine's room. A concubine cannot be three years older. This is an ancient ritual, and it is also a current law. Today's officials cannot disobey.
Xiao Ruan's whole body was trembling, and he rushed forward and hugged Lu Yu. Because the center of gravity was unstable, the two fell directly to the ground, but Xiao Ruan still did not let go.
"It's not necessary, Xiao Ruan is not worth it..."
Lu Yu's head hurt a bit after being smashed. He stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and then smiled: "Whether it's worth it or not, it's up to me, not you, let alone your identity."
Xiao Ruan said, "As long as the slave and maid can be with the young master, it is enough."
Since he will always be by his side, then this dead letter is not so important.
Lu Yu laughed loudly, and said, "Well, I'm afraid I can't protect you because of this paper contract. Others may take care of you. Secondly, I really like you, which makes me Some don’t believe in themselves in the future."
Because I like it, I don't believe in my future self.
This is what Lu Yu, a guy who is a little idiot about feelings, has worked hard for a long time to come up with the truth, maybe it's a fallacy, maybe just to be worthy of the current self, can't say it, don't understand... According to Lu Yu's character, that's it. Go and do it.
