Chapter 271 Love the country and love the beauty
Lu Mengji got the letter from the green ring and entered Qinxinyuan.
Huo Shuangcheng had been waiting in the room for a long time. He looked up and down at Lu Mengji with bright eyes. Although she was already a member of the Huo family, after all, she was out of a poor family and her behavior was still a little different from those ladies.
"In the future, you will also be a general's concubine. In the future, don't be as casual as usual. Always consider your identity and remember not to humiliate the Huo family!"
Lu Mengji was silent. Since she was accepted as a concubine, it seemed that Huo Shuangcheng's attitude towards her had completely changed. But she also understood that all this was for Lin Daimo.
Although General Huya is only a title, it is a great honor for the general family, and a large family can abandon everything for the sake of honor!
Huo Shuangcheng saw that Lu Mengjian was silent, so he handed a letter to Lu Mengjian.
"Pu'er sent a letter, and there was an accident in the house. He couldn't deal with it. I'm afraid it's extremely urgent. You leave today. If the children are fine, if anything happens, bring them back as soon as possible. Don't make any mistakes. A trace of worry flashed in Huo Shuangcheng's deep eyes. With Huo Jingpu's personality, he will never ask for help unless he has to.
"General..."
Huo Shuangcheng interrupted Lu Mengji's words, "How many times have you said that you are a family, you have to change your mouth and call your father, otherwise you will be heard by someone who wants to make an article again. I know what you want to say. Now the weather is getting colder, and the farmers outside the city are almost out of harvest this year. Now most of them rely on begging for food for a living. Alas... In the year of the disaster, there are unruly people. You can leave as soon as possible to avoid rushing to the night road. For a while, it's really not peaceful.
"What happened to Pu'er? Is it so urgent?"
"I can't say a word about this matter clearly, and I only wrote a general idea in the letter. Take a closer look. I will send a few bodyguards to secretly protect you. You will deal with this matter well. If you can't deal with it, you can bring Pu'er back as soon as possible! Your godmother has been really anxious these two days.
Lu Mengji nodded calmly.
When she came out of Qinxinyuan, she ordered someone to prepare a carriage, simply took some personal belongings, and went straight to the house in the suburbs.
When Lin Daimo learned the news, Lu Mengzhi was already on the way out of the city. He didn't care about the wound on his chest and went straight to Qinxinyuan, intending to follow Lu Mengzhi, but he was stopped by Huo Shuangcheng.
"You are now the emperor's general Huya. How can you be so irritable!" Huo Shuangcheng pointed to Lin Daimo's face dissatisfiedly, "You don't look in the mirror. Look at what you look like now!" If you go out of the city like this, won't it make people laugh!"
Lin Daimo raised his hand and touched his face puzzledly and did not feel anything strange, but when he walked to the mirror, he was shocked by his appearance.
The pair of brown and black panda eyes are particularly dazzling in the mirror, and the pink blush on the two cheeks adds color to Lin Daimo's face, revealing a strange charm.
"Is this me?" Lin Daimo was shocked and pointed to himself in the mirror. No wonder on the way, every maid saw that she always made a smiling expression. Now he understands that it was his face that was making trouble. It must be a dream. This dead girl did this kind of prank again while she was asleep.
Huo Shuangcheng nodded helplessly, "Who are you? With your vigilance, it is really rare to come back alive from the battlefield! Ha ha, you can't even feel that your face has been fooled. How can you prevent others from using knives around your neck? It's not too much for you to die hundreds of times in the barracks!"
"Children should remember their father's teachings!" Lin Daimo lowered his head with a guilty heart. He was only blamed for being greedy, which led to a decline in vigilance. However, at the thought of the sweet feeling of being with Lu Mengzhen, he was blamed by his father.
"You can stay in the house honestly. In two days, you will recover from your injury, and you have to go to the face-to-face. In these two days, you will have a good rest and take good care of your health."
After Lin Daimo left with a disgraced face, he saw Huo Shuangcheng smile. This girl didn't expect that it was interesting that she dared to play tricks on her husband like this. It was really too casual, which was a little similar to Qinqin.
However, at the thought of Huo Jingpu, who was still trapped in a suburban house, Huo Shuangcheng couldn't help but darken and walked to Huo Shuangjiang. If this matter is not handled properly, they should always have a way to remedy it.
Lu Mengji ran all the way. It was afternoon when he left the city, and the time was inevitably a little nervous. However, the driver went to the old house in the suburbs for the first time, and it was inevitable that he took a lot of detours.
This time, the car made many turns. Lu Mengji only felt that the road was extremely bumpy, and the skeleton all over her body was almost bumpy, but in order to arrive as soon as possible, she still clenched her teeth.
In a strange squeak, the carriage finally stopped.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, the car is broken." The driver was frightened and reported to Lu Mengyi.
Since Huo's house came out, the driver knew that the matter was urgent and had been rushing. However, he had only been in the house for half a year. Although he was very familiar with the road to Kyoto, the road in the suburbs was still a little strange, so he could only rely on the direction in his memory to drive to the old house. Unfortunately, in the end, it was still a wrong road.
If he hadn't been alone in the house, he wouldn't have dared to drive to the suburban house without authorization. The driver was so scared that he inevitably trembled slightly.
"Where are you now and how long will it take to get there?" Lu Mengji unconsciously frowned. Why are all things inappropriate recently? Is it possible that she is too old this year? It seems that you have to check the almanac first when you go out in the future.
"And... Auntie, I'm sorry, we're lost..." The driver knelt on the ground in fear and dared not look up for a long time.
Lu Mengji lifted the curtain, next to a river, and the driver was kneeling on a gravel paved path.
"Forget it, you get up first, fix the car first, and the road will always be found." Lu Mengzhi got out of the car with a headache. After such a delay, I don't know when to arrive at the old house. Can Huo Jingpu and others insist on coming?
Xian Ge and several other subordinates have also dismount.
"You old man, I thought you had found some shortcut. I followed you all the way to some unknown paths. It turned out that you didn't know the way!" The little servant scolded and pulled the exhausted horse aside to eat grass.
The string song gave a look and choked back the words of the little man who was still complaining.
"You guys, go and help the driver repair the car. Before sunset today, we must rush back to the old house!" After saying that, Xiange carefully stayed around Lu Mengji for fear that someone would take the opportunity to attack.
Lu Mengji took this opportunity to rest and carefully studied the words in the letter. Huo Jingpu wrote extremely implicitly and only said that the old house was in trouble because of his mistakes, but the specific problem was not mentioned.
"String song, what do you think will happen to the old house?" Lu Mengji asked in a low voice, but only got a response from Xian Ge who couldn't help shaking his head.
"Well, I guess I can't ask any results now," Lu Mengji turned around and saw an extremely smooth stone by the river. "I'll go over there and sit down. If you need anything, call me at any time."
Xiange looked around carefully and didn't notice any abnormality, so he looked at Lu Mengji and walked over with confidence.
In the blink of an eye, the reed with white catkins suddenly shook. Lu Mengji only felt that the cool wind was blowing, but there was an extra note in his hand.
"Who is there?" Lu Mengji looked at the reeds vigilantly. Since she was hijacked several times in a row, she was a little afraid of this sudden wind and grass.
Lu Mengji grabbed a stone and cautiously retreated to the parking position of the car, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Auntie, the carriage has been repaired. Please get in the car!" The driver re-traped the carriage, and this time, Xiange led the way, and the road was much smoother.
Lu Mengjian hesitated for a long time and finally unfolded the note. It said, "A wide grain, buy the hearts of the people."
"It's ridiculous, it's nonsense! How can people's hearts buy it!" Lu Mengzhi was speechless and threw the paper to the side.
When I came to the door of the house, the sky had become dark. The door of the house was tightly closed, and Xian Ge shouted for a long time before someone came to answer the door.
Inside, I was careful not to open the door, and the string song outside had to pat the door loudly: "Open the door, we are from the capital. Aunt Lu is coming!"
This shout doesn't matter. I don't know where a group of beggars in black surrounded Lu Mengjian's car and chord songs.
"Mrs. Officer, you have pity on us!" Several ragged old women gathered around Lu Mengzhu's car. Some held a cracked pottery bowl and begged, while others directly went to Lu Mengzhu with a pair of black hands.
Lu Mengjian was shocked by this sudden change and looked at the dark crowd around him. Only then did he realize that Huo Jingpu's letter said that he was besieged. I'm afraid it was the purpose of the disaster victims who had a poor harvest and turned into beggars.
"Don't worry, everyone. I just got here." Lu Mengzhi couldn't avoid that pair of thirsty hands, so he directly lifted the curtain and stood at the door of the car, signaling everyone to calm down.
"I know everyone's situation. Today I'm here to get rid of this dilemma for everyone," Lu Mengji tried to amplify his voice, but the voices of the crowd could not be quietly combined.
Lu Mengji took advantage of the chaos and got back to the side of the carriage and sat on the carriage. Seeing the paper ball thrown aside and holding it back in your hand, isn't the "wide grain accumulation" talking about how to solve the problems of disaster victims outside?
Who is writing the note? He has such a thorough understanding of the problems he is about to face! Lu Mengji put away the paper ball and put it neatly in his purse.
However, after witnessing Lu Mengji back into the carriage, the people around him are talking more and more, which makes Lu Mengji have the illusion of being in a sparrow's nest.
"Auntie, there are more and more beggars now. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out tonight," Xiange looked at the people in front of him worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. I will definitely figure it out."
