Destiny in this life: Sisterly love is deep and dreams are sweet
Chapter 2 Inquiry
On the other side, Lu Yanhua held Lu Wanxi's arm and asked the maid to hold a lamp and walk in front. After all, the two of them didn't know the way and were unfamiliar with everything in the mansion, let alone where the Ningxiang Courtyard was.
"Fan Yang Lu! Isn't it the Fan Yang Lu who is the most popular of the five surnames and seven, a wealthy family and a century-old family?" Lu Yanhua asked in a low voice.
Lu Wanxi nodded and responded to her in a low voice, "Yes! You are right."
"Damn it! The eldest is the Duke of the country, and the second is the Marquis. These two brothers are so awesome! The Duke and the Marquis' uncle are the two most powerful ones."
Lu Wanxi was still a little surprised that she knew about Duke Bozinan. "You actually know Duke Bozinan?"
"Who are you looking down on? I still know a thing or two about cultural common sense."
"Just memorize this! I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, so what's the point?"
"I said it's already here, so don't rush me and think of a solution quickly! We are not familiar with each other here, and we don't know anything about this family. I'm still waiting to go to college and fall in love. ? Finally the college entrance examination is over and I can fall in love. I haven't enjoyed my college time yet? Why did I come here? "
Lu Wanxi also felt strange, "What can I do? It's easy to wear it here, but it's not so easy to wear it back. Once you've come, make peace with it. Isn't that how time-travel novels are written?"
"How to settle it? We don't know anything about the situation in this family. We don't know the owners of these two bodies, their temperaments, and their talents. Even if we take over their bodies, we are not them after all. If this continues, sooner or later It will be discovered."
"Take your time and go back to Ningxiang Courtyard first."
The two of them were whispering, and the maid behind them felt strange, but she didn't dare to ask anything about the master.
Finally arriving at Ningxiang Courtyard, a female envoy said: "Sir, the old lady has told you to stay in the side room tonight."
When Lu Yanhua heard this, she thought this was not possible, "No, just let my sister sleep with me. We can just talk."
"All right!"
Entering the room, Lu Wanxi said to the maids: "You are not needed here. Poria and Gardenia will just take care of you. You all can go down!"
"Yes!"
The two of them looked at the room carefully and looked around. Lu Wanxi sat down at a desk. There were many rice papers on the table, an inkstone beside it, and several brushes in the pen holder. There is a delicate pearl plum planted in a porcelain pot by the window. The first thing Lu Yanhua noticed was the golden nanmu bed with its lavender gauze curtain. It looked so big and comfortable that it made people want to lie down on it and have a good sleep. Next to it is the dressing table for the daughters in the boudoir. There is a diamond-shaped bronze mirror and a red plum blossom-carved jewelry box on it. There are many gold and silver jewelry. The profile reflects the unusual status of the hostess of this room. The whole room is elegantly decorated.
Fu Ling stepped forward and asked, "Girl, I'll wait for you to go to bed!"
Lu Yanhua looked at Fuling and suddenly had an idea in her mind. Lu Yanhua ran to the closet, took a piece of clothing from it, came to Fuling, and said, "Fu Ling, this dress is for you."
"Fu Ling doesn't dare, this is the girl's favorite clothes."
"It's all for you. Come put it on and let me see."
Poria had no choice but to obey her orders and put on this embroidered gold butterfly and floral cloud satin skirt.
Lu Wanxi couldn't understand what she was going to do, but it was hard to stop her now.
When Fuling put on this dress, Lu Yanhua praised her repeatedly, "It's so beautiful. Girls just need to dress up properly."
Lu Yanhua looked at Gardenia on the side, and went to get some clothes for her, "Gardenia, this is for you, put it on and let me see it. You two spoke out for justice today, this is my gift to you."
Gardenia looked at Lu Wanxi, who nodded and motioned for her to accept it. Gardenia also changed her clothes and came out of the screen.
"Okay, you two go down and rest! Just put your clothes there for now and pick them up again tomorrow."
"No, girl, if we go out dressed like this, we will be scolded by our mothers." Fuling didn't dare. She was timid and knew the rules of the house.
"What are you afraid of? If someone scolds you, just say I gave it to you. Listen to me and go back and rest!"
The two had no choice but to go out first, and they were the only two people left in the room.
Lu Wanxi asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to take the initiative. We have to find a way to figure out the situation in this house! Otherwise, the secret will be revealed sooner or later."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Lu Yanhua took Lu Wanxi to the inner room. There were two pieces of clothing placed behind the screen. Lu Yanhua picked them up and said, "That's enough. I'll put on Poria's clothes and go out to inquire about the entire Lu Mansion." Just understand.”
"Where did you go to find out? I don't know anyone."
"On the way here, I smelled the aroma of food, which means the kitchen is not far from here. The kitchen is a gathering place for maids. We just finished our meal, and there must be someone else busy in the kitchen. I'll go there to find out. Don’t you know everything?” Lu Yanhua explained with a proud look on his face, he was so smart.
Lu Wanxi felt that this method was not feasible and did not agree with her taking the risk, "You can't go. We are not familiar with this house yet. What if you get lost?"
"Oh! Sister, why don't you have any sense of adventure? If you just sit back and wait for death, we will die even worse. You must listen to me on this matter, and you are right to listen to me."
"Yan Hua, no!"
Lu Yanhua ignored her, took off her clothes, and then put on Poria's clothes, but she didn't know how to wear them. "Sister! How do you put on these clothes? Please help me quickly."
"Yan Hua, it's really not possible. What if someone recognizes you?"
"No, I covered my face with a handkerchief and said I was allergic and couldn't see people."
"Or not."
"Oh! Stop being so nagging. You have always stuck to the rules and followed the rules since you were a child. Can you take a risk? Even if you are discovered, then this body must be the second lady of the family! What can they do to me? I just went out for fun, so don’t worry about it."
Lu Yanhua struggled for a long time and finally put on her clothes. Then she took a handkerchief from the dressing table and took off the hairpin on her head and the earrings on her ears.
"Look, who can recognize me as a young lady from this family when I look like this? In fact, they all look at the clothes. Otherwise, who would know whether you are a young lady or a maid."
Lu Wanxi was still worried, "Yan Hua, otherwise..."
"Stop it! I have made up my mind. I must ask tonight what is going on with this family. What is the character of the owners of our two bodies? Wait for my good news!"
Lu Yanhua looked at the plate of pastries on the table, picked it up and said, "Give me something to bribe."
Then he ran to the door, opened it, went out, and closed the door.
Lu Wanxi looked worried, no one could stop what Lu Yanhua was going to do.
Lu Yanhua followed her memory and found the kitchen. Sure enough, the lights were still on. They had just finished their hard work for the day, and several women were sitting together to have a meal.
The kitchen door was not closed, and Lu Yanhua walked in with the pastries, "Moms."
The three women were eating dinner when they heard the voice and looked over, "You are..."
"I just entered the house, and I just came out from the second girl's place. The second girl gave me a plate of pastries, but as I was walking, I smelled the fragrance here, and followed the scent. I wanted to use this pastry I wonder if I could give you some meals in exchange?"
The three women saw the plate of exquisite pastries in her hand, which were not usually visible. The three looked at each other and agreed, "In that case, let's sit down and eat some together!"
Lu Yanhua happily walked over and sat down while carrying the cakes.
Seeing her face covered with a handkerchief, the fat woman among them asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
"I'm allergic and I have some rashes. I don't want anyone to look at them." Lu Yanhua lied without blushing. After all, this was a skill he had practiced since he was a child.
Lu Yanhua handed the cake to the three of them and said, "I don't know what kind of cake this is. It's a tribute to the three mothers."
The three women, who usually worked in the kitchen, had never seen such precious pastries, so they picked up the pastries and ate them without any courtesy.
Lu Yanhua's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner, and he asked tentatively: "Three mothers, I have just entered the government not long ago, and I don't understand many things. Can I ask you for advice?"
"What do you want to ask, girl? If we know, we will definitely tell you." The thin woman was straightforward and agreed readily.
"Have you heard what happened today? The third girl pushed the eldest girl and the second girl into the water."
"Then you don't know? The third girl and Aunt Liu are still kneeling in the ancestral hall? It's useless for the Marquis to plead for mercy." said the youngest woman.
Lu Yanhua took advantage of the situation and continued: "Yes! Who is in charge of this house? There is the Duke and the Marquis."
"You didn't know it when you first came here! In the Ningguo Duke's Mansion, the old lady's eldest son inherited the old lady's title and is the new Ningguo Duke. The second son is the Marquis of Xiangyang who has made great achievements on the battlefield and was personally named the Marquis of Xiangyang by His Majesty."
"Oh, I see."
"This is the Duke's Mansion of Ning State, but the Marquis does not live in the Duke's Mansion, but in the Hou's Mansion. His Majesty gave him a new mansion, which is right next to the Duke's Mansion, thus connecting the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion. A mansion.”
"Then the second girl is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis. Why don't she live in the Marquis' mansion instead of following the old lady?" Lu Yanhua continued to ask.
"The second girl lost her mother when she was young. The old lady saw that she was pitiful, so she kept the second girl by her side and doted on her from childhood. The eldest girl was also raised by the old lady."
"No wonder the old lady is so angry today?"
The fat lady ate a mouthful of crumbs from the cake and said, "That's right! The eldest girl and the second girl are both legitimate children, and the third girl is a concubine. Besides, Aunt Liu seduced Mr. Hou, so the old lady had to let Mr. Hou Take her as a concubine. The third girl is arrogant and always wants to be like a legitimate daughter, but with a concubine, how can her status as a concubine change?"
"Then since the Marquis loves Aunt Liu so much, why doesn't he make her his wife?"
"Sure enough, he is young and has never seen much of the world. How could such a wealthy and well-known family do such a derogatory thing as making a concubine his wife? Then even if the Marquis loves Aunt Liu, he will never do it. He will not make her his wife. If the Marquis wants to continue his marriage, he must marry a lady from a famous family and marry her as his wife. Aunt Liu is not worthy!" said the youngest woman.
Lu Yanhua didn't understand this, and never paid attention to it when reading novels before.
"That's it. Those mothers, these three girls knew that they were concubines, but they still didn't give up. How about the old lady letting herself go like this?"
"How is it possible? Our old lady looks kind-hearted, but she is actually very clever?" the fat lady responded.
Lu Yanhua thought the same thing. After all, he is the champion of house fighting. How could he not have any scheming skills? "Mom, please tell me carefully!"
"I don't know the specifics. The third girl is just not convinced. Fan Yanglu's name is well known to the world. The eldest girl and the second girl are about to get hairpins, and the triennial draft is about to begin. But the stipulation is that only Only legitimate daughters can participate in the talent show, so wouldn’t the third girl have no chance? That’s why we are always looking for trouble between the eldest and the second girl.”
"Draft? Why is there a draft to choose women for the emperor?" Lu Yanhua was shocked. She did not want to enter the palace and become a concubine.
"It's not about choosing a concubine for His Majesty, who is over 50 years old. It's about choosing a concubine for the prince, and the adult prince is choosing a princess."
Lu Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief, but this didn't work either! Fighting in the palace and in the house, with her lack of intelligence, she will definitely not live long.
"When will the draft be held?" Lu Yanhua asked eagerly.
"I guess it's still more than a year away! The eldest and second girls haven't even gotten hairpins yet?"
"The eldest girl will be ready for haircut in one month, on the 25th of the next month. The second girl will be [-] days behind, on the [-]th of the next month."
When Lu Yanhua heard this, she wondered why this was just like her and Lu Wanxi. Their birthdays were ten days apart. And seeing the weather like this today, it must be June. Lu Yanhua said deliberately: "Next month, it will be July 25th and July [-]th."
"Yes."
Now I figured out the time, today is June [-]th.
"Hey! The Duke and the Marquis are particularly important to His Majesty, aren't they?"
"That's for sure! In the entire Daqi, who doesn't know that the Fanyang Lu family has produced Ning Guogong and Xiangyang Marquis?"
Daqi? Which dynasty is this? She only remembered the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Could this be it? Her history is not very good, so she should go back and ask her sister!
"Then mothers, do you know who the Crown Prince is? What is his name?" The national surname of Northern Qi is Gao. Will the national surname of Da Qi also be Gao? Lu Yanhua was thinking.
"You girl, you are quite courageous. How can people like us know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's name?"
Lu Yanhua thought about it and said, "Moms, I have just come to serve the second girl. Do you know the temperament and preferences of the second girl, as well as the eldest girl and the third girl?"
"You've asked the right person about this. People come and go in our kitchen every day, and the maids in each courtyard will also mention something like this."
Lu Yanhua pricked up her ears and said, "I'm all ears."
"First of all, let me talk about this eldest girl. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is considerate and filial. Everyone praises her. Many people outside say that the eldest girl is very likely to become the crown princess."
Lu Yanhua listened to the first half, which was very similar to her sister. Lu Wanxi had been forced to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Not only did she learn the piano, she also learned the guqin, and she learned Go from her grandfather, not to mention studying. She was admitted to Peking University, so how can she be worse? Moreover, her grandfather was a master of Chinese studies, and she has been interested in ancient poetry since she was a child. Hobbies, it is no exaggeration to say that she is a talented woman. She also learned ink painting and was trained as a lady of ancient times.
But when she heard the second part, saying that she was very likely to become the crown princess, Lu Yanhua was frightened. In her heart, her sister Lu Yanhua is the best girl in the world, and no one is worthy of her, not even the prince who has inherited the throne in the family.
"What about the second girl?" Lu Yanhua continued to ask.
The fat woman shook her head and said with a smile: "Compared with the older girls, the second girl is really far behind. The second girl has been naughty since she was a child, and she is not like a girl. She has nothing to show for playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Hand."
Although Lu Yanhua's face was covered with a handkerchief, it was not difficult to hide her embarrassment. Isn't this just her? She has been like a boy since she was a child. From a small field to an adult, she didn't have to say much about her studies and barely got a second grade. Not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not proficient in any of them.
"Then do they have anything in common?"
"If there is anything in common, there is one."
"What?" Lu Yanhua looked expectant.
"I can't even do embroidery, I'm half-assed."
When Lu Yanhua heard this, she felt that it was just the two of them, so there was no need to pretend, and couldn't they just be themselves?
"Understood, what about the third girl?"
The thin woman said meaningfully: "These three girls are arrogant and always want to compare with the elder girl, but they can't compare with the elder girl in anything. Compared with the second girl, just because of her birth, she will never be able to compare with her. He always finds fault with the second girl. That second girl is not a vegetarian, she always suffers, and she doesn’t have a long memory."
"Then are there other girls in this mansion?"
"There are three girls in the Lu family, and four young masters. The eldest and second young masters are both born to the Duke's wife. The third young master is born to the Marquis's first wife, and the fourth young master is naturally born to Aunt Liu."
Lu Yanhua nodded, "Oh! That's it. Thank you so much, mothers."
Lu Yanhua saw that he had almost finished asking questions, so he made an excuse and left. I just came out and was about to go back, but I found that I seemed to be really lost.
"Fan Yang Lu! Isn't it the Fan Yang Lu who is the most popular of the five surnames and seven, a wealthy family and a century-old family?" Lu Yanhua asked in a low voice.
Lu Wanxi nodded and responded to her in a low voice, "Yes! You are right."
"Damn it! The eldest is the Duke of the country, and the second is the Marquis. These two brothers are so awesome! The Duke and the Marquis' uncle are the two most powerful ones."
Lu Wanxi was still a little surprised that she knew about Duke Bozinan. "You actually know Duke Bozinan?"
"Who are you looking down on? I still know a thing or two about cultural common sense."
"Just memorize this! I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, so what's the point?"
"I said it's already here, so don't rush me and think of a solution quickly! We are not familiar with each other here, and we don't know anything about this family. I'm still waiting to go to college and fall in love. ? Finally the college entrance examination is over and I can fall in love. I haven't enjoyed my college time yet? Why did I come here? "
Lu Wanxi also felt strange, "What can I do? It's easy to wear it here, but it's not so easy to wear it back. Once you've come, make peace with it. Isn't that how time-travel novels are written?"
"How to settle it? We don't know anything about the situation in this family. We don't know the owners of these two bodies, their temperaments, and their talents. Even if we take over their bodies, we are not them after all. If this continues, sooner or later It will be discovered."
"Take your time and go back to Ningxiang Courtyard first."
The two of them were whispering, and the maid behind them felt strange, but she didn't dare to ask anything about the master.
Finally arriving at Ningxiang Courtyard, a female envoy said: "Sir, the old lady has told you to stay in the side room tonight."

"Yes!"
The two of them looked at the room carefully and looked around. Lu Wanxi sat down at a desk. There were many rice papers on the table, an inkstone beside it, and several brushes in the pen holder. There is a delicate pearl plum planted in a porcelain pot by the window. The first thing Lu Yanhua noticed was the golden nanmu bed with its lavender gauze curtain. It looked so big and comfortable that it made people want to lie down on it and have a good sleep. Next to it is the dressing table for the daughters in the boudoir. There is a diamond-shaped bronze mirror and a red plum blossom-carved jewelry box on it. There are many gold and silver jewelry. The profile reflects the unusual status of the hostess of this room. The whole room is elegantly decorated.
Fu Ling stepped forward and asked, "Girl, I'll wait for you to go to bed!"
Lu Yanhua looked at Fuling and suddenly had an idea in her mind. Lu Yanhua ran to the closet, took a piece of clothing from it, came to Fuling, and said, "Fu Ling, this dress is for you."

"Okay, you two go down and rest! Just put your clothes there for now and pick them up again tomorrow."
"No, girl, if we go out dressed like this, we will be scolded by our mothers." Fuling didn't dare. She was timid and knew the rules of the house.

Daqi? Which dynasty is this? She only remembered the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Could this be it? Her history is not very good, so she should go back and ask her sister!
"Then mothers, do you know who the Crown Prince is? What is his name?" The national surname of Northern Qi is Gao. Will the national surname of Da Qi also be Gao? Lu Yanhua was thinking.
"You girl, you are quite courageous. How can people like us know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's name?"
Lu Yanhua thought about it and said, "Moms, I have just come to serve the second girl. Do you know the temperament and preferences of the second girl, as well as the eldest girl and the third girl?"
"You've asked the right person about this. People come and go in our kitchen every day, and the maids in each courtyard will also mention something like this."
Lu Yanhua pricked up her ears and said, "I'm all ears."
"First of all, let me talk about this eldest girl. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is considerate and filial. Everyone praises her. Many people outside say that the eldest girl is very likely to become the crown princess."
Lu Yanhua listened to the first half, which was very similar to her sister. Lu Wanxi had been forced to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Not only did she learn the piano, she also learned the guqin, and she learned Go from her grandfather, not to mention studying. She was admitted to Peking University, so how can she be worse? Moreover, her grandfather was a master of Chinese studies, and she has been interested in ancient poetry since she was a child. Hobbies, it is no exaggeration to say that she is a talented woman. She also learned ink painting and was trained as a lady of ancient times.
But when she heard the second part, saying that she was very likely to become the crown princess, Lu Yanhua was frightened. In her heart, her sister Lu Yanhua is the best girl in the world, and no one is worthy of her, not even the prince who has inherited the throne in the family.
"What about the second girl?" Lu Yanhua continued to ask.
The fat woman shook her head and said with a smile: "Compared with the older girls, the second girl is really far behind. The second girl has been naughty since she was a child, and she is not like a girl. She has nothing to show for playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Hand."
Although Lu Yanhua's face was covered with a handkerchief, it was not difficult to hide her embarrassment. Isn't this just her? She has been like a boy since she was a child. From a small field to an adult, she didn't have to say much about her studies and barely got a second grade. Not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not proficient in any of them.
"Then do they have anything in common?"
"If there is anything in common, there is one."
"What?" Lu Yanhua looked expectant.
"I can't even do embroidery, I'm half-assed."
When Lu Yanhua heard this, she felt that it was just the two of them, so there was no need to pretend, and couldn't they just be themselves?
"Understood, what about the third girl?"
The thin woman said meaningfully: "These three girls are arrogant and always want to compare with the elder girl, but they can't compare with the elder girl in anything. Compared with the second girl, just because of her birth, she will never be able to compare with her. He always finds fault with the second girl. That second girl is not a vegetarian, she always suffers, and she doesn’t have a long memory."
"Then are there other girls in this mansion?"
"There are three girls in the Lu family, and four young masters. The eldest and second young masters are both born to the Duke's wife. The third young master is born to the Marquis's first wife, and the fourth young master is naturally born to Aunt Liu."
Lu Yanhua nodded, "Oh! That's it. Thank you so much, mothers."
Lu Yanhua saw that he had almost finished asking questions, so he made an excuse and left. I just came out and was about to go back, but I found that I seemed to be really lost.
