Chapter 71 Lu Sui, Are You Sick?
Jiang Yueyao raised her eyebrows slightly and pointed with her little hand at the Wanhe Tower behind her, which was full of lights.
He held his face up proudly.
"Did you see that? Upstairs, downstairs, in the backyard and front hall, they're all full."
"Are you satisfied, sir?"
At this moment, a light came down from the side, just covering the girl in front of him. In the orange light, the girl was gorgeous, her small face as big as a palm was white and delicate, her eyes were clear, and filled with a little pride.
The corners of Lu Sui's lips curved even wider.
He said nothing and walked towards Wanhe Tower.
Jiang Yueyao, who was still waiting to be praised, saw him walking in and immediately chased after him.
"Oh, why are you like this?"
"If you praise me, I'll die."
Lu Sui said nothing and went up the stairs.
Jiang Yueyao followed behind him, and because she was angry, she lifted her skirt and kicked the heel of his official boots with the toes of her embroidered shoes.
Lu Sui ignored it.
She continued to kick, and as she kicked, she found it quite interesting and had more and more fun.
Qingshu, who was following behind, couldn't help but glance to the side, somewhat speechless.
The girl is so childish.
Besides, Master is really something. What's wrong with you praising the girl? The girl is now at the age when she needs to be praised. If you praise her more, she will be very motivated. Isn't all the money she earns yours?
Lu Sui went straight to the backyard. His regular dining table, Shifang Pavilion, also had guests today, so he went up to the pavilion.
Jiang Yueyao also followed him up to the pavilion.
She skillfully made tea for him: "What would you like to eat, sir? I'll have someone prepare it."
Lu Sui unbuttoned the first button of his collar, stretched his neck, and slowly exhaled before speaking.
"No hurry, you go ahead."
There was a glass lamp hanging in the pavilion, and the light fell on Lu Sui's face, revealing obvious fatigue.
Jiang Yueyao asked him while rinsing the teacup.
"Your Excellency looks very tired, but what's troubling you?"
Lu Sui raised his eyes, supported his forehead, slightly lifted his eyelids, and looked at her with deep eyes.
His tone was low, but contained a hint of teasing.
"Why? Do you want to share my worries?"
"Share? No, no, no," Jiang Yueyao shook her little head like a rattle. "I'm just an ordinary person. How can I understand the great cause of the country under the Grand Tutor?"
She handed the teacup to him, looked up and chuckled, "I just asked casually, pretending to care. After all, you are my boss, and I have to do some face-saving work."
The Grand Tutor, who was waiting for her to say a few kind words, was so angry that he closed his eyes.
He waved at her, meaning that she should leave quickly and not bother him anymore.
Jiang Yueyao is also tactful.
As he walked out, he passed by Qingshu and casually said something.
"Qingshu, please stay away. Your master is in a bad mood. I'm afraid something bad will happen to you."
Qingshu was sweating profusely: "Miss, don't talk nonsense. The master is not that kind of person."
"Really?" Jiang Yueyao looked clearly unconvinced.
In the pavilion, a man's voice could be heard, gritting his teeth.
"If you say one more word, I'll have Qingxuan knock out your front teeth!"
“…”
Jiang Yueyao covered her mouth with her hand and disappeared.
Qingshu watched her disappearing figure so quickly that he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's great to be young. Your legs are nimble and you can run really fast."
As soon as Jiang Yueyao left, someone came over.
Qingshu greeted the visitor with a smile, "Master Duan, you're here really quickly."
Duan Yanzhou glanced at him and sneered, "How can I not be quick when your master invites me?"
As he was talking, he had already entered the pavilion.
Duan Yanzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Jinwu Guard, was a third-rank official. He was born in the Weiguo Duke's Mansion and was the same age as Lu Sui.
There is only a wall between the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Because they are of similar age and family background, although one is calm and introverted while the other is unrestrained and outgoing, they have been playing together since they were young.
Now, one of them has entered the cabinet and the other has become the commander of the Jinwu Guard, but the brotherhood between them is becoming deeper and deeper.
Maybe they were too close and just huddled together for no reason.
In addition, they are both of marriageable age, but they don’t even have a girl by their side.
So rumors spread in Beijing...
"The Grand Tutor and Lord Duan are inseparable all day long. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
"Could it be that the two of them are..."
"A couple?!"
Duan Yanzhou heard about it from somewhere, and to prove his innocence, he ran into Fengyue Tower in anger, asked for two girls, and hugged them left and right...
Not only did the rumor not get debunked, it became even more intense.
"Did Lord Duan feel provoked by something?"
"I heard that the Emperor is going to grant Taifu a marriage..."
Duan Yanzhou vomited three liters of blood and almost died on the spot.
But these are all things of the past, and there have been fewer rumors in the past two years.
Duan Yanzhou entered the pavilion,
He first glanced at Lu Sui who was resting with his eyes closed, then sat down opposite him, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
He picked it up to his mouth, took a few sips, and then spoke.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm starving."
Lu Sui opened his eyes, glanced at him indifferently, and then gave Qingshu an order.
"Go get some food."
Then he said, "Don't make it too vulgar."
He has a poor appetite today and just wants to eat some light dishes.
But Duan Yanzhou was not happy: "No, no, no, I haven't had a good meal all day. Give me a big pork elbow and a pot of Yulichun."
Qingshu said with a smile: "Master Duan, you are almost eating up all the pork elbows in Wanhelou."
I always order it when I come here. Last time I also ordered roasted lamb leg, which was really delicious.
"What do you know? I'm either killing or being killed every day. How can I run away without eating pork elbows?"
Qingshu was happy. He turned and left. Qingxuan appeared from nowhere and stood guard under the pavilion.
Duan Yanzhou drank two cups of tea in a row before stopping.
He leaned back in his chair and took a long breath.
"This job is getting harder and harder. I haven't slept for three days and two nights just to catch someone." He looked at Lu Sui and said, "If you don't make a move, I'll collect your body."
Lu Sui closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows with his slender fingers, and looked tired.
"Don't worry, someone will be here soon."
Duan Yanzhou raised his eyebrows: "Is it so accurate?"
"There's already an internal conflict among them. Some people want to make a contribution, so they'll naturally bring something."
"These old guys are more cunning than each other. I'm afraid it's not that simple."
The two chatted for a while, and then Qingshu came over.
Jiang Yueyao followed behind him, both of them holding trays with wine and food on them.
As soon as Duan Yanzhou saw Jiang Yueyao, he immediately stood up and took the tray from her hand.
What you say is even more pleasing.
"How can I trouble Shopkeeper Jiang to personally deliver the food? Just tell me and I'll go get it myself."
Jiang Yueyao had met him several times. They had similar personalities and were both good at talking.
Every time we meet, it’s a joy.
"Oh, you're so polite. It's my honor to be able to serve Master Duan."
She placed the pork elbow in front of Duan Yanzhou and said, "If you are satisfied with the pork elbow today, could you please give me some money? I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. My whole family is starving and we are waiting for the money to buy a meal."
"It's just a small reward of a few bucks?" Duan Yanzhou said with a sly smile, "Why don't you just follow me? I... oh my... Lu Sui, are you sick?"
He covered his head with his hands and looked at Lu Sui, who was throwing fruit at him, with anger...
