Long Er held his breath and sent Ju Muer to the carriage. He asked the coachman to take her home, and he planned to personally pick up Shopkeeper Lu from prison. He ordered the coachman to finish, and made an agreement with Ju Muer, telling her to recover from her injuries after returning home, and he will visit her again tomorrow when he finds time.
Ju Muer nodded in agreement, and obediently sat in the carriage waiting to set off. Long Er took a few steps back, turned around and walked away, ready to lead his horse.
But as he was walking, he couldn't help but look back at her. She sat firmly on the car, holding her bamboo stick.
The coachman walked to the back of the car and closed the door, and Ju Muer disappeared from Long Er's sight.
Long Er suddenly felt a little lost. He turned around, walked quickly to the side of the horse, and said to Li Ke, who was waiting by the side: "Go back to the mansion to find Chief Tie, let him lead someone to pick up shopkeeper Lu, follow him to settle down at home, and buy some things for his house , Going and going bad luck. New Year's ceremony is also arranged."
"Is Second Master not going?"
"I'll do other things first, and I'll go to see him later, and bring the words to me." After finishing speaking, Long Er turned around and headed towards the carriage house, calling for the driver to wait.
Li Ke scratched his head, do you have something to do
Li Ke watched Long Er pull open the car door, saw Ju Muer's face showing surprise, then Long Er jumped into the carriage and said something to Ju Muer, then the door closed, and Li Ke couldn't see anything.
The carriage rattled forward, and Li Ke realized it.
Oh, it turned out to be doing this!
I don't know if shopkeeper Lu would feel sad if he knew that he had fallen behind a girl in the master's heart? Or does Miss Ju know that she has already surpassed shopkeeper Lu in the heart of the master
As a loyal and upright guard, Li Ke decided to help his master keep this secret.
Long Er didn't realize that he had a secret at all, he suddenly wanted to send his Mu'er home personally, so he did.
The two of them didn't talk much along the way, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong even sitting together. The atmosphere was comfortable and comfortable, and Long Er was in a good mood.
Ju Muer was guessing where she was going along the way, and Long Er helped her to see if she was right. After this comparison, she found that she could guess nine out of ten.
For Ju Muer's unexpected little abilities, Long Er no longer feels surprised at all. He was just curious how she guessed right.
Ju Muer told him that she had walked this road too many times, relying on the smell of different shops and the distance she felt, it was not difficult for her to guess these, and it would be even more difficult for her if they passed by on foot instead of in a carriage. would guess wrong.
When she said this, there was a smile on her face, but Long Er felt a little distressed, and he asked, "Do you still feel pain in your eyes now?"
"Fortunately, I usually don't feel anything."
Long Er went to hold her hand: "In the future, you have to take good care of yourself, you know?" The words were soft and soft, and after Long Er finished speaking, he was startled by his own voice.
Ju Muer was also taken aback, and nodded. She didn't know whether she was ashamed or happy, but she lowered her head when she didn't respond.
Long Er also felt embarrassed for a while, how could he speak such a disgusting tone? He coughed and let go of Ju Muer's hand, feeling a little ashamed. Fortunately she couldn't see it, but he still quietly turned his face away.
After a while, the car drove out of the city. Ju Muer climbed the car window and poked her arms and head out a little. Seeing this, Long Er wanted to control her again. He pulled her back: "Don't blow the wind, your head still hurts, blow it carefully and it hurts."
Ju Muer complied obediently and didn't pay any money. She just said, "When the weather is warm, this road smells like flowers and grass. When you stretch out your hand like that just now, you can feel the wind."
What's so great about being able to feel the wind? Long Er really wanted to say that when the weather got warmer and he wasn't so busy, he could take her on a horseback ride. At that time, there will be all kinds of flowers, grass and wind.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't want to say them anymore. Cough cough, he was disgusted just now, stop talking about doting on her so much now, why did you take her for an outing? He will treat her better when she marries him.
This is enough for now.
Long Er was very satisfied with his restraint, he finally remembered that a woman should not be spoiled too much, if he treats her too much, where will the man's dignity go
Long Er was thinking like this, and in a blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the home wine shop. Ju Laopa heard the sound and came out to meet her, and took her daughter out of the car.
Long Er wanted to put on airs, so he didn't get out of the car. He only told Ju Muer to come to see her another day, and told Ju Daddy that the housekeeper would come to discuss with him the details and date of the wedding. Ju Mu'er and Ju Daddy agreed respectively, and then the father and daughter said goodbye to Long Er briskly, arm in arm, and went back to the house without looking back, talking about catching the murderer.
Looking at the backs of them leaving without turning back in the carriage, Long Er felt really uncomfortable. Who is putting on airs
Long Er was so devastated that he really wanted to jump out of the car and bring Ju Muer back to him as a send-off at the eighteenth birthday. She had to show that she was reluctant to part with him, and told him to come to see her tomorrow, otherwise she would not agree. When the situation comes, let's stop.
But he can't do this, he can't afford to lose this man!
He sat in the car for a long time, and the driver finally couldn't help asking: "Second Master, shall we go back?"
"Go back!" These two words were said through gritted teeth.
The coachman shrank his shoulders, whipped his whip and let the horse run away. Long Er slammed the car door behind him, and a resentful "hum" floated out from the crack of the car door and dissipated into the air.
On the second day, Long Er didn't go home after the dinner party at noon, but he rode a horse to find Ju Mu'er.
She made him unhappy yesterday, and he has been thinking about it all night, so he must see her today, and he wants to get it back.
But how to discuss it, Long Er actually didn't think about it. He thought about it all the way, and when he arrived in front of the home wine shop, he decided to ask her to pour him a cup of tea and rub his back for him.
But when he entered the door, he told Father Ju that he wanted to see Ju Mu'er, but saw Father Ju showing a embarrassed expression.
No way, that lazy girl hasn't woken up yet, it's already past noon!
When Long Er asked, Father Ju quickly waved his hands: "No, no, Mu'er got up early, before lunch, but she said that she hasn't seen anyone these days."
Long Er automatically ignored the weird saying that getting up before lunch counts as getting up early, and only raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many days?"
Father Ju counted with his fingers: "It's only six or seven days."
Six or seven days, that's all
Long Er raised his eyebrows even higher, and said: "I am not included in these lists where no one sees anything. I am her fiancé-in-law!"
The word "fiancée-in-law" is really eloquent!
Father Ju was taken aback for a moment, thinking that what he said was reasonable. But the daughter said that she couldn't see Second Master Long especially these few days. He always listened to his daughter's words, but he didn't dare to offend Second Master Long. He was not as courageous as his daughter.
So Second Master Long swaggered into the backyard to find his unmarried lady who was said to have disappeared. Ju Daddy followed behind, he decided that if his daughter blamed him, he would say that the second master forced the intrusion, and he couldn't stop it.
Long Er arrived at Ju Mu'er's small courtyard and found her door closed. He knocked on the door, and Ju Mu'er said, "Second Master, please go back. I will pay a visit to Second Master's mansion after a few days."
Listen, is this like what the lady said to the husband
call? He didn't want her to pay a visit. He wanted her to pour him a cup of tea now, and he wanted her to rub his back.
Long Er continued to knock on the door vigorously, and Ju Muer said again: "Second Master, don't worry, I will come to you in a few days to make up for it."
Long Er was really annoyed, he directly exposed her truth: "I don't think you smell bad, open the door."
As soon as the word "stinky" came out, Ju Mu'er's room suddenly became quiet.
Father Ju was rubbing his hands anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Second Master, don't be angry, Mu'er has a bad temper, and Second Master can't afford to be as knowledgeable as her."
bad temper? Long Er is even more angry, do you want to compare with him who has the worse temper? He knocked hard on the door again.
This time there was movement in the room, but it was the sound of ding ding dong dong. Long Er was stunned, and he could hear the continuous sound of the zither over there, with ups and downs.
Father Ju was also stunned, and then quickly explained to Long Er: "Second Master, Mu'er must be playing the piano to relieve boredom, she dare not talk back to you. Don't be angry, I will scold her later."
Long Er didn't think Ju Daddy would scold Ju Muer, nor did he think Ju Muer played the piano to relieve boredom. If she dared not, he really felt that there was nothing she dared not do.
Because he understands, he always understands her. She was scolding him, calling him a bull!
Everyone knew that Second Master Long didn't know the rhythm, and he said she was smelly, so she played the piano for him. He understands, she wants to say "playing the piano to the cow".
Long Er let out a "hum" and walked away.
Long Er returned to the mansion, thinking about it, but couldn't swallow this breath. This stinky girl is really hateful, she dares to play the piano to mock him even if he is not allowed to see her. Doesn't it mean that she stinks, why is she so narrow-minded
Long Er was having a temper tantrum with himself when Nanny Yu came to find him.
In the past two days, Nanny Yu has been busy inside and out for the second master's marriage. She went to the matchmaker to talk about the three books and six rituals, and she planned to ask the matchmaker to go to Ju Muer's house to ask for her name and ceremony when she was ready.
But when the matchmaker heard that she was a girl from a restaurant in the south of the city, she turned pale with fright. She hesitated at first, but then she couldn't stand Madam Yu's questioning, and told her many rumors in the market.
After hearing this, Aunt Yu couldn't help becoming worried. You must know that when the mother-in-law talks about matchmaking, she only talks about good things and not bad ones. If the mother-in-law is shocked to speak like this, is this girl really inappropriate
So Mammy Yu was worried, and went to the workshop to inquire about Ju Muer carefully, and it turned out to be exactly the same as what the woman said. It is said that Ju Muer is unmarried in her twenties, and there is a reason for this. She was engaged since she was a child, but Miqin did not marry and acted willfully. Then she became crazy and blind, retired and made trouble, and then she even hooked up with a married man Yun Qingxian, who refused to let his wife in, so she seduced Erye Long again.
Everyone said that this woman had tricks, Yuma Yu's heart trembled when she heard that.
Nanny Yu decided to have a good discussion with Second Master about this matter.
Long Er heard the rumors in the market that Nanny Yu said, and replied: "I know all of these."
He acted nonchalantly, but Nanny Yu was embarrassed and didn't know how to continue the conversation. It is said that the second master is a shrewd person, and he would never be deceived by a so-called "capable" woman, but the rumors are so convincing...
Seeing Yuma Yu's appearance, Long Er persuaded: "Don't worry, Mama, just listen to what is said outside, there are some in it, but I arranged to pass it on, but in the end, the more people say it, the more shameful it becomes. gone."
Aunt Yu opened her mouth wide, in disbelief: "Second master passed it on?" Her family's second master hated people's bad words the most, so how could he pass it on by himself
Long Er's face turned a little ashamed when he thought about it, he coughed: "Anyway, the rumors in this city, Mammy can't believe everything."
Mother Yu was skeptical, and asked again: "Did the second master ask Miss Ju? How did she explain those old things?"
"I didn't ask." Long Er felt nothing wrong. According to how he feels about Ju Muer, she will definitely tell him what needs to be explained. If she doesn't say it, then there must be nothing to explain. If there is nothing to explain, it means nothing. If he asks without thinking, she will look down upon him. He still wanted to stand up in front of her, so how could he talk carelessly
"Didn't ask?" Aunt Yu was still worried, "Then why did Second Master want to marry her?"
Nanny Yu still remembered what Long Er said was "special", but if he still said that this time, she would have to ask clearly how special that girl was.
Long Er thought for a while, and remembered Ju Muer's tone and expression when she proposed to him, he couldn't help laughing, and imitated her tone and replied: "I am, I want to marry her."
Nanny Yu was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, she managed to say: "Then...then...if she really did something detrimental to a woman's morals..."
As soon as Madam Yu said this, Long Er's eyes lit up: "That's right, Mama, you are right, I know how to teach her a lesson."
Before Mammy Yu came back to her senses, Long Er had already called Li Ke in, and said, "Go find the copy of "The Commandments for Women" and send it to Mu'er."
no? No way? Did you hear me right
Li Ke quickly turned his head and glanced at Nanny Yu who was standing aside, Nanny Yu looked back at him innocently and puzzled.
"Uh, Second Master, did you mean "The Commandments" just now?" Li Ke asked cautiously.
"right."
Li Ke took a breath, glanced at Nanny Yu again, and continued to ask cautiously: "Do you mean to send Madam Yu to Miss Ju as a copy of "The Commandments for Women?"
"No, you go and send it off. Madam Yu is busy with the wedding preparations."
Now Li Ke's head is about to smoke. Why him, he is obviously a loyal and upright guard, why send him to do such a weird thing? Sending "Women's Commandments" to the master's unmarried lady, she is still blind, do you want him to read it along the way? This is clearly what women and other people want to do.
Li Ke was so aggrieved that he almost twisted his clothes and jumped to protest, but he didn't dare, he was so loyal and upright.
Fortunately, at this time, there was Mammy Yu by his side, and her old man helped him to ask his inner question: "Second master, why did you give "The Commandments for Women" to Ju girl? Second master thinks her morality is not appropriate? Then this Marriage..."
Long Er waved his hand: "The wedding is going to be done, and "The Commandments of Women" is going to be given away. This girl is getting more and more courageous, she actually dares not to see me, she has to wait until the injury on her head is healed, and she will see me when she can get rid of hair. Is there such an arrogant unmarried woman? She dared to play the piano to me... In short, Mammy reminded me well. Li Ke, you go and give her a copy of "Women's Commandments" so that she can study hard. Mammy, your marriage is also very important. As soon as possible, all the etiquette that should be done, I think she dares to ignore me!"
Both Li Ke and Nanny Yu were dumb, they looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.
Nanny Yu can't say anything to persuade Long Er. Judging by the current posture, he is really looking forward to getting married. Nanny Yu has been in Longfu for many years, and she could already see the face of the master. She knew that if she said something unpleasant, it would only be counterproductive. So she thought that she should pay more attention to the girl, see the girl again, and observe more.
Li Ke still wanted to struggle, he said: "Second Master, even Miss Ju can't read the "Nv Commandments" you sent, why don't I invite her to come and accompany Second Master to relieve boredom?"
"Don't ask her, did I say I want to see her? I'm not bored at all. If she can't see it, just read it to her."
Li Ke really wanted to slap himself twice, what's the point of talking, if he just took orders and left, he didn't need to read.
Is it really appropriate for a heroic, brave and loyal male guard to recite "The Commandments of Women", master
Long Er glanced at Li Ke, whose face was wrinkled into a bun, and said again: "Let her father read it to her carefully!"
Li Ke's spirit lifted, and he felt relieved, and ran out quickly. Nanny Yu followed his back with sympathetic eyes, turned her head and saw Long Er was looking at her, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go make some preparations too."
Everyone left, Long Er sat on the chair and got angry. How can those bad-mouthed people just say bad things about his family's Mu'er? Why don't you pass on how smart she is, how interesting she is, how good she plays the piano...
Well, Long Er admits that he didn't hear it well, but everyone said that she is superb at playing the piano, so she must be good at playing the piano.
As for her so-called past events, Long Er felt that even if she didn't say anything, he was still willing to believe her.
