Chapter 311: A White Lotus (End)
Anne originally wanted to make a casual salute, so as to take care of the other party's face, after all, she had just married, and it was not good to directly deal with the former housekeeper.
But the Lu family has to find fault, so don't blame her for being unkind.
Anne ignored the Lu family, turned her head to look at Lu Yan, and said softly, "Lang Jun, the hour is not early, why don't we go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the ancestors first, and then come to meet the relatives." ”
Relatives?!
That's right, Anne directly put all the aunts and grandmothers sitting in the hall into the ranks of relatives.
Instead of the serious Lu family.
Lu Yan couldn't help but smile, with excitement in his eyes, and nodded, "Okay, that's what the lady said." Let's go to the ancestral hall first. ”
After that, the young couple didn't give the Lu family and the others a salute, and directly turned back to the front of the hall, and respectfully said to Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Li, "Grandmother, mother, and son (daughter-in-law) have gone to the ancestral hall." ”
"Go, go, go. First give the ancestors an incense, and then I will order someone to pick a good day, invite the elders in the clan, open the ancestral hall, and add the An family to the family tree. ”
Mrs. Fang has been innocent all her life, and she has lived a worry-free life for decades, in addition to the protection of her family, she also has her own unique way of dealing with the world.
That is, she knows how to be obedient: she listens to her parents at home, she listens to her husband when she marries, and when her husband and son die, she listens to her grandson.
The same is true of Mrs. Lee, who is sick and weak by nature, accustomed to being taken care of, and very dependent on strong people.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have long reached a consensus, and in the future, Lu Yan will be in charge of external affairs.
The affairs of the inner courtyard, if the new An family can take on the big responsibility, then leave it to her.
The two did not give Lu Yan and Anne a salute to the Lu family, but classified them as "relatives", and they didn't think there was a problem.
Because that's exactly what happened.
Married daughters, and still daughters who have been married for decades, they have husbands, children, and even children have started families.
They still hold their mother's dowry and in-law's property in their hands, and they are already independent individuals.
As far as the Lu family is concerned, they have long been relatives.
Yes, they are surnamed Lu, but in front of their Lu family, they also have their husband's surname.
A hundred years later, they will also be buried in the tomb of their husband's family, not in the ancestral grave of the Lu family.
Therefore, Lu Yan and his wife regarded them as relatives, not only Mrs. Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also outsiders took it for granted when they heard it.
Lu originally wanted to give Anne a dismissal, but he didn't expect that he would lose his face first.
Seeing a couple of newcomers walking away, Lu's face turned red with anger, and he looked up and complained to Mrs. Fang: "Brother and sister, look at this An family, it's only been two days since she passed the door, and she has no rules like this, are there any elders in her eyes?"
Mrs. Fang was naïve, "Eldest sister, I think An is also very respectful to me and her mother-in-law." "Words and deeds are also decorated.
Looking at the entire Lu family, the serious elders of Lu Yan's family are not only Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Li.
As for the grandmothers and aunts sitting in the hall, they are all relatives, and An also said that he will come to see his relatives after worshipping his ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Where is the disrespect?
People are clearly very polite and sensible.
On the contrary, it was the Lu family, relying on himself to be the housekeeper of the Lu family, so he really regarded himself as the Lu family.
actually asked the maid to bring a futon.
Bite?
She still wants to receive a gift from An's?
Mrs. Fang is just naïve, not stupid.
Moreover, over the years, Mrs. Fang has indeed no objection to the matter of the Lu family's housekeeper, but it does not mean that she agrees with it in her heart.
Because the Lu family is in the maiden housekeeper, it only shows one problem, that is, her Fang family is incompetent as the head of the Lu family.
Even if Fang couldn't think of these things for a while, after a long time, she would be able to come back to it.
How can Fang's heart be comfortable?
It's useless, and marrying a daughter-in-law is also a weak body, so I can only watch the Lu family's middle feed continue to be controlled by the Lu family.
Back then, Xiao Lu's ability to compete with Lu's was not only Xiao Lu's own competitiveness, but also Fang's acquiescence and support.
Li probably thought so in his heart.
The Lu family consists of two married female housekeepers, which is a great humiliation for the two housewives.
In the past, there was no way, even if they knew that they were being laughed at, they could only do this.
Now it's different, the grandson (son) married a noble girl and came back, and judging by the performance just now, he is a smart and capable person, and he will definitely be able to take on the responsibility of a housekeeper.
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Li almost didn't have to think about it, and they stood on Anne's side.
What a shrewd person the Lu family, as soon as he heard this, he knew what this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meant.
Gritting his teeth hard, Lu Shi thought: Good An's, and let you be happy this time, wait for your housekeeper to make a mistake in the future, see how I "repay" you.
Xiao Lu, who was sitting opposite the Lu family, although he was not directly embarrassed by Annie, was also classified as a "relative" in the end, and his mood was naturally not much better.
She lowered her eyelids, hiding the anger under her eyes, and secretly vowed: I must look good!
However, the Lu family and the little Lu family were doomed to failure.
In the following days, Anne just returned from her mother's home and took over the Lu family.
And in the shortest possible time, he sorted out decades of old accounts, and paid equal attention to rewards and punishments, and smashed them down with one means, completely deterring the descendants of the Lu family.
In less than a year, the Lu family and the little Lu family's decades of business in the Lu family were all eradicated by Anne.
Lu and Xiao Lu almost took a magnifying glass to find a mistake on Anne, but they couldn't find any problems.
The two of them scolded secretly in their hearts: What a treacherous An clan, in front of them and their subordinates, he was all kinds of domineering, and when he came to Fang and Li, he was as well-behaved and supple as a little white flower.
The Lu family and the little Lu family tried their best to expose Anne's true face, they thought that as long as they pretended, there would always be a day when they would be exposed.
As long as they seize the opportunity, they can let the Fang family, the Li family, and Lu Yan know that the An family, the virtuous woman of the Lu family who was praised by each other, was actually a domineering and mean woman.
It's a pity that no matter how much the aunt and nephew keep an eye on Anne, they can't find a chance.
They could only watch Anne smoothly take charge of the Lu family's middle feed, be filial to her mother-in-law, serve her husband, and treat the Lu clan and relatives well...... Going out to socialize is also all kinds of virtuous and virtuous, amiable, and his reputation is even better in the elite circle of the capital.
Many noble ladies who have dealt with Anne can't help but admire, worthy of being Liu Qingqian's daughter, who really has the demeanor of a housewife.
The Lu family can marry such a daughter-in-law, it is really a great virtue accumulated by the ancestors.
Some people also say that if the Lu family gets this virtuous woman, they will be able to revitalize the lintel and regain the glory of their ancestors.
And the fact is just as these people predicted, in the second year after Anne passed the door, she gave birth to a white and healthy boy to the Lu family.
In the following years, she gave birth to two sons and two daughters one after another, completely breaking the "history" of the five generations of the Lu family.
With these five children alone, Anne is the hero of the Lu family.
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Li almost offered her as an ancestor.
Able to housekeeping, able to have children, she also took the initiative to take a concubine for her husband during her pregnancy, was kind to the concubine, and carefully taught the children of the concubine......
The backyard of the Lu family is peaceful, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, the wife and concubine are harmonious, the concubines love each other, and with a virtuous help like Anne, Lu Yan's career is extremely smooth.
Twenty years later, Lu Yan, who was less than forty years old, became a scholar and became the youngest Zaifu in Daqi.
The sons of the Lu family, regardless of whether they are concubines or concubines, are all motivated to study, and there was once a good story about a three-jinshi school.
The daughters also married into the high family one by one.
Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, the children of the Lu family are very filial to Lu Yan and Anne.
Anne is so perfect that she can be called the first virtuous woman of Daqi, and I don't know how many noble ladies of the family and noble ladies regard her as the most ideal model of daughter-in-law.
There are many young generations who regard her as a goal to strive for and learn from idols!
"Phew! She's a vixen with a shiny surface and a dirty inside, and she's the best at pretending!"
An Yunzhi, who is only forty years old, looks like a fifty or sixty-year-old woman. Her sad face was distorted with jealousy, and she looked outwardly hateful.
"Smack!"
Dou Jichang, who had a broken leg, was also full of vicissitudes, slapped An Yunzhi's face, and scolded: "You poisonous woman, you are cruel and vicious, and you look at others like this." I'm telling you, don't say anything like that again. How about Mrs. An, everyone in the capital and even the whole world knows that it is not something that you can slander with one or two bastard words. ”
"Also, there is no money at home, so you can go to the Hou Mansion or the Bo Mansion to borrow some silver. ”
"If you really can't do it, you can go and beg Mrs. An, she has always been kind, and she can give porridge and food to strange victims, you are still sisters, she will not treat you badly!"
"Dou Jichang, you, you actually asked me to beg my rival?"
"What's wrong with the rival? As long as she can give us money, she will be our food and clothing parents, and you and I will treat her as an ancestor!"
"You, you-poof~~"
An Yunzhi spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground heavily......
