Chapter 303
The Heroes Conference fascinated every household in Luoyang, and everyone was talking about this matter. Although the Lu Mansion is a mansion of aristocratic families and a civil servant family, they are not very interested in the Heroes Conference. n∈n∈,.
However, the servants of the Lu Mansion are all ordinary people. They are all fascinated by the hero conference and even bet on gambling, betting who can enter the top ten.
In the evening, A Yuan slipped to the kitchen and found Liu Erjin, the chef of the Lu family. "Uncle Liu Er, is there any news about the Heroes?"
Liu Erjin is about forty years old, she is dark and fat, and has a very fleshy face. However, his personality is extremely gentle and he especially likes A Yuan. He laughed and said, "Isn't the hero meeting over the last two days? Where will there be news?"
A Yuanman looked depressed. She actually wanted to inquire about the news about the young master. The young master's reputation was at its peak these two days, and everyone was talking about him, which really made her feel proud. She suddenly felt weak: "Okay! I won't ask."
She turned around and wanted to leave, but Liu Erjin called her, "A Yuan, do you want to listen to another news? It's about Miss Qing."
"What news?"
Lu Qing’s news was equally important to A Yuan, and she immediately asked, “Speak with me, uncle.”
"The matchmaker from the Cui family came to the door today, you don't know!"
"Why haven't I heard of it?" A Yuan looked stunned.
"The matchmaker entered the mansion from the back door, and the news did not reach the front yard at all. Xiaoqin came over to stew bird's nest for her wife and said that she missed her mouth. She heard that the wife blocked the news and did not allow anyone."
Before Liu Erjin could finish speaking, A Yuan turned around and ran away in a hurry, "Uncle Second, thank you!"
"A Yuan! Don't betray me." Liu Erjin shouted quickly.
"I know!"
A Yuan ran to the backyard like a gust of wind, but she did not tell Lu Qing, but found the maid Li Xiang, who was also the little maid who served Mrs. Lu. She was about the same age as A Yuan, and her father was lying in bed sick for many years. The family relied on her mother to wash clothes for the human body. She had to sell herself to be a maid for the Lu family. In the past few months, she borrowed a lot of money from A Yuan to buy medicine for her father.
Rika saw Ayuan looking for her and her face turned pale. She was afraid that Ayuan would ask her to pay back the money.
"Sister A Yuan, I really don't have the money to pay you back."
A Yuan pulled her to the corner and asked in a low voice: "I'm asking the matchmaker about coming to the door!"
Rika was so scared that she shivered all over. The lady specially told everyone not to pass the news to Miss Qing. Otherwise, if she beat her to death with sticks, wouldn’t she tell the girl?
"I can't say it!"
A Yuan took out a small purse and poured out a small incision of gold, about one or two taels. She shook her in front of her eyes and tempted her, "I know your father is in a hurry to ask for money to buy medicine. Tell me, I will give this incision of gold to you, and you will lend me the money you have. I don't want you to pay it back, how about it?"
Li Xiang stared at the gold in Ayuan's hand and swallowed. Her mother came to her yesterday and asked her to find a way to borrow some money. The family was forced to pay debts and she couldn't survive. Today she couldn't borrow money everywhere. Now Ayuan actually promised to give her gold. How could she not be moved?
Li Xiangxin made a fuss and snatched the gold. She whispered: "Then let me tell you, the Cui family invited the matchmaker to propose marriage today. The wife agreed and exchanged wedding posts in two days. I sent the betrothal gifts. I heard from the wife tell the matchmaker that she would find a good day to welcome the bride in late March."
A Yuan's eyes widened, "But the master is not here, how can the wife agree?"
"I heard that the master wrote a letter yesterday and it seems that the master has agreed."
Ayuan was so scared that she was stunned. Rika grabbed her and said, "Madam, we won't allow us to disclose the news to the girl. Whoever dares to reveal it will beat anyone to death. Don't say it was me."
"I know!"
A Yuan was still in a daze. Seeing that there was no one around, Li Xiang ran away. After a while, A Yuan realized, turned around and ran towards Lu Qing's embroidery room.
Since Lu Qing went to Chanlin Temple, Mrs. Lu ruthlessly banned her, not allowing her to go downstairs, and ordered several healthy women to stay under the stairs day and night. Originally, even A Yuan was not allowed to go downstairs, but Lu Qing went on a hunger strike and she did not eat any food sent by anyone. Mrs. Lu had no choice but to agree to A Yuan deliver her food, but A Yuan was not allowed to leave Lu Mansion.
A Yuan brought a cup of tea and walked over. The three healthy women guarding the stairs made way for her, but no one paid attention to her. This was the order given by Mrs. Lu. No one was allowed to talk to A Yuan, otherwise they would be 100 sticks.
A Yuan took the tea upstairs, quickly glanced at the healthy woman below from the corner of her eyes, and pushed the door and entered the room.
"A Yuan, is there any news?"
As soon as A Yuan entered the door, Lu Qing stood up and greeted her. She was confined to her for nearly ten days by her mother, which really made her lose weight. However, she was in good spirits and was full of confidence in her future.
Although she was confined to her mother, she was always concerned about the news outside. She was especially concerned about her lover's performance in the Hero Club, which has almost become her spiritual pillar these days.
Especially when I heard that my lover won the third place in the Heroes Club, she was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. She just hated that she couldn't rush to the restaurant to drink and celebrate with my lover, and she would stop drunk.
"Miss, I brought bad news!" A Yuanman said sadly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that A Yuan's expression was wrong, Lu Qing felt a little dissatisfied and asked nervously: "Is something wrong with General Zhang?"
"It's not his business, it's the girl's trouble!"
A Yuan pulled Lu Qing to the inner room and whispered to Lu Qing in detail what he found. Lu Qing was shocked. After a while, she said angrily: "Does she want to force me to death? No! I want to go to find her, and I want to ask her if she is still my mother?"
Lu Qing could no longer help the anger in her heart and stood up and walked outside. A Yuan was so scared that she stopped her, "Girl, calm down, you will mess up things."
At this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door outside the door, "Miss Qing, what happened?"
It was the voice of a middle-aged woman, but her voice was very hoarse, just like a man talking. A Yuan quickly opened the door a crack and said with a smile: "Grandma Ma, nothing happened!"
There was a thin black woman standing outside the door, her hair was combed with greasy hair, a big black mole on her nose, and her pair of triangular eyes looked very cold.
This person is called Ma Youpo, who is the dowry maid of Mrs. Lu. Now he is the housekeeper of the inner house. He is sarcastic and mean. He relies on his wife's support to be arrogant in Lu's mansion. Everyone in the mansion hates her very much.
Ma Youpo originally didn't care about Lu Qing's affairs, but because the Cui and Lu families had decided to marry each other, Mrs. Lu was worried about what would happen to her daughter, so she asked Ma Youpo to monitor her daughter's every move.
Ma Youpo ignored A Yuan, pushed the door wider, and leaned in to check. Lu Qing was furious and walked up to scold, "What are you going to do?"
"Mrs. Let me see the girl. If there is anything, the girl can tell me!"
Ma Youpo's arrogance was not even taken seriously by Lu Qing. Lu Qing was extremely angry and pushed the door hard, "Get out!"
The door of the room clamped Ma Youpo's neck, which made her scream in pain, and quickly retracted her head. She covered her neck and walked downstairs, and said fiercely to several healthy women: "Look at them, not only stare at the stairs, but also the window. Report any abnormalities to me immediately, otherwise you will be your life!"
Several healthy women were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads and agreed, and immediately separated the two of them and ran towards the back window. Ma Youpo felt that there was not enough staff and that a few more people had to be added to monitor day and night. She quickly walked towards the yard where her wife lived.
Just as Ma Youpo appeared, Lu Qing finally made up her mind that she must resist. She must not be sent to the Cui family like a livestock. It was darker than hell for her. She must not let her whole life be ruined in this painful and extremely hated marriage.
Lu Qing wrote a text message and handed it to A Yuan, "A Yuan, you must find a way to send this letter to General Zhang!"
A Yuan is a very smart little girl. She knew that after Ma Youpo arrived, she would be monitored. After thinking about it, she rolled the letter into a small tube, hid it in her hair, and said with a smile: "Girl take a nap! I'll come back after going out for a while."
A Yuan walked downstairs with a tea tray, and a healthy woman immediately followed her. A Yuan felt a little overwhelmed. This was a very troublesome thing. How could they follow her and deliver the letter?
A Yuan put the tea tray and turned around and ran to find a few maids to play with. When the healthy woman saw that she was not going out of the mansion, she stopped following her and stood outside the servant's room and waited far away.
"A Yuan, what's the matter!"
Li Xiang, who was about to go home to deliver money to her mother, was dragged into the room by Ayuan. She said anxiously: "Dad is waiting for me to buy medicine!"
A Yuan looked through the window and saw the healthy woman who was monitoring her from afar standing outside the yard gate. She whispered to Rika: "Do you want to earn hundreds of stagnant coins to completely cure your father's illness, and you can also repay all the money you borrowed."
Li Xiang's eyes lit up. This was something she had always dreamed of. She nodded repeatedly. How could she not think about it?
"Then you send me a letter!"
