Footsteps were heard in the yard, and Lu Yuanqing realized that he had not closed the door, so he sent the cakes to the kitchen, and when he went out to see, Zhang Ruyi took Li Haitang and Lan Yi, looking around.

"you…"

The person who forced him to swear just now, what is he doing at his house now? Lu Yuanqing immediately wanted to drive him out, but since the other party was a woman, he couldn't speak directly.

"Hush."

Zhang Ruyi made a silent gesture and pulled Lu Yuanqing aside, she had to find an excuse.

What's the right excuse?

She looked at Li Haitang, then at the blue clothes, and turned her eyes, thinking about it.

"Scholar Lu, Brother Lu, take a step to speak."

Zhang Ruyi's face was weeping, and the speed of changing her face was extremely fast. She admitted her mistake in a low voice, and finally pointed to Lan Yi, "My sister's fiance just entered the next door, I suspect..."

With a look you know, Zhang Ruyi hesitated to speak. Heh heh, they had a date outside before they got married, and the three of them are here to catch rape!

To cheat someone is almost as bad as cheating Li Haitang, the consequences are serious, Zhang Ruyi immediately pulled the blue clothes out as a backing.

Lan Yi burst into tears, and she knew that the young lady looked at her with bright eyes, and there must be something wrong!

Li Haitang saw that it was the blue clothes who were cheating, and nodded cooperatively.

Lu Yuanqing was speechless. There are old neighbors around here, and the new neighbors moved in not long ago. If the neighbors saw this, it would be hard to explain.

"Ah Yuan, who's here?"

Mother Lu was making soup in the stove, when she heard a woman's voice, she wiped the water off her hands, "Why don't you invite someone to sit inside?"

Oh, hello, two girls, a beautiful little lady dressed as a woman, is this a son's marriage?

Lu's mother stared at Li Haitang with bright eyes, the woman's head, could it be a matchmaker?

Li Haitang: "..." Is there a matchmaker as beautiful as her?

My son doesn't stay at home all year round. With this condition in the family, it's not easy to find someone he likes. Lu's mother is also worried, her son is already a crown, and she keeps saying that she has Yan Ruyu in the book and doesn't need a wife.

Can Yan Ruyu in the book give birth to a fat boy? She wants a grandson! Granddaughter too!

"Ma'am, we're passing by and want to ask for a drink."

Li Haitang made up nonsense, she didn't know the rules of Lucheng, usually a matchmaker came to the door, and the two families used drinking water as an excuse to meet each other.

Mother Lu became more sure immediately, and scanned Zhang Ruyi and Lan Yi. She prefers the more lively ones to change the dull atmosphere at home, and immediately caught Zhang Ruyi's attention.

"Come in, come in, we have stewed chicken at home today, so let's stay for dinner!"

Lu's mother was very hospitable, which made Li Haitang and the three of them at a loss. How simple and warm the ancient working people were!

"Mother, you go to the kitchen to see the chicken soup first."

Lu Yuanqing took his mother to the kitchen, decided to help out, and sent the three of them away early, "The family next door moved in a few months ago, and we haven't seen each other since."

Soon after, he returned to Lushan Academy, which was the first time he went down the mountain after a few months.

However, the walls of the two houses used to only reach his neck, but now they are much higher. Standing in his house, he can't see the situation of the neighbors at all.

Lu Yuanqing didn't think much about it, just thought that the new neighbors valued privacy.

"I need stools, preferably three."

Zhang Ruyu looked at the height of the wall. With her height, she had no choice but to step on a high stool. She was really curious, why Zeng Yan ran to the common people.

In my impression, this person is aloof and indifferent to everyone, so he is unlikely to be approachable.

"it is good."

Lu Yuanqing had no objection, and took out three chairs from the room, pointed to one of them, and said to Lan Yi, "You stand on this chair."

"why?"

Before Lan Yi could speak, Zhang Ruyi asked.

"This chair has been around for a long time. I'm afraid that if you stand on it, the chair will fall apart."

Lu Yuanqing found an opportunity to take revenge on Zhang Ruyi. Zhang Ruyi belongs to the plump type, but she is not fat. She has a good figure and is definitely the one her mother-in-law likes.

Lan Yi is not thin, but she is a southerner, petite and cute, and she hasn't grown up.

"Lu Yuanqing, how dare you show that Miss Ben is fat!"

Zhang Ruyi's firecracker temper was ignited, and she pulled Lu Yuanqing, wanting to quarrel, but when she received Lan Yi's wink, she snorted and decided to get down to business first.

"I never said that."

Lu Yuanqing touched his nose and thought to himself, this savage little girl is not too stupid, of course, if you can't hear it, then there is no cure!

"Good women don't fight with men!"

Zhang Ruyi stood tremblingly on the chair, holding onto the wall with her hands. As the prefect's daughter, she had never been so embarrassed.

The yard next door was quiet and empty. One side of the courtyard is full of firewood, and strings of red peppers are hung under the eaves of the stove, against the white snow, it is very joyful.

After standing for a quarter of an hour, Li Haitang rubbed his hands. It's really cold today. Why don't they drink hot tea when they enter the door, and then continue to stay when they come back?

"Miss, you and Miss Haitang go into the room and sit down for a while, it's fine for the servant to be alone."

The three of them stared and couldn't talk, it was very boring, Zhang Ruyi's patience was basically exhausted.

"Okay, then you watch first."

Zhang Ruyi took off the fur gloves and handed them to Lan Yi, "In a while, Miss Ben will take over."

She thought in her heart, good Zeng Yan, you usually act like a dog, pretending to be cold, did you reveal yourself this time?

She, Zhang Ruyi, was going to dig out his secrets, destroy his illegal gathering place, or file a lawsuit and report to Mrs. Zeng!

"Haitang, I don't want to marry Zeng Yan anymore."

Zhang Ruyi pulled her frozen cheeks, the woman's intuition was right, she felt that Zeng Yan had a secret.

Don't look at him laughing sometimes, but the funnyness doesn't reach his eyes, he is cold and indifferent, marrying such a person, there will be no good days in the future.

"Look at the situation first, and don't be impatient."

Li Haitang shook his head, feeling a bad premonition in his heart. In any case, the actions of the three must be kept secret and cannot be leaked out.

When the two entered the room, they were immediately warmly received by Lu's mother, serving tea and water, and a plate of red bean buns made by her.

"Ma'am, this red bean bun is really delicious."

Zhang Ruyi took a bite, and the red bean paste inside was almost overflowing. It was sweet, and the white flour was soft. It looked ordinary, but it was better than those old dim sums in Kyoto.

The dim sum in Zhangfu, Kyoto, is meticulously made, with chrysanthemum petals and peach petals. The lady on the stove put all her thoughts on the appearance. The dim sum is sweet and greasy, and loses the original taste of the ingredients.

"Then eat more, I'll pack it for you, and take it with you when you leave."

Lu's mother was praised and liked Zhang Ruyi more and more. She immediately exposed her son's background. Apart from reading, Lu Yuanqing's biggest hobby is eating sweets.

"Thank you ma'am, I'll bring you any delicious food from my house later."

Courtesy is reciprocal, Zhang Ruyi understands this principle, she came uninvited, it was considered a disturbance, she wanted to leave some money when she left, but this time she went out to buy gifts, all she brought were silver tickets, the minimum denomination was one hundred taels. It's not that she is reluctant to part with the money, and if she gives one hundred taels for no reason, people will be scared, okay?
