Chapter 300 keeps up
Mrs. Lu's heart trembled, and her eyes widened in disbelief, the old man actually knew about her mother's family with a dowry? ! Actually, she didn't take the initiative to do this, but when someone in the family came to ask for money, she couldn't say what she refused, and she didn't dare to reach out to Lu Sheng to ask for money. Under the persuasion of Li's mother, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info had to use his own home makeup to send people away.
Mother Li sat on the ground with a dead face, and she received every time she came to Jiangzhou. How many things she took for them, and how much she kept in her hands, no one knew better than her. If the money is still in his own hands, it is still reasonable. But looking at Lu Sheng's posture, I am afraid that he and his family are not allowed to take away even a needle. She felt like her heart had been ripped off with a knife, and she trembled with pain.
Besides, if the people of the Li family knew the truth of the matter, they would have eaten her heart. She could even imagine that they would take their anger out on her family. The uncle of the Li family has long been eyeing his little daughter. This time she was driven back to the Li family like this, and her youngest daughter would definitely be murdered.
No! that must not be allowed to happen. She mustered all the strength of her body and was ready to plead with her master, but before she could speak, her master waved his hand and dragged her down like a fly. Mother Li struggled unwillingly, but she used her strength to breastfeed, and she did not shake the slightest bit of the rough mother-in-law.
Poor Mother Li watched everything in the house get farther and farther away from her. The moment he arrived at the door, the corner of his eye swept to the worried and reluctant eyes cast by Mrs. Lu. His eyes lit up, and he just wanted to use all his strength to fight for some opportunities for himself. The scenery changed, and she knew she had been dragged out. Mother Li looked at the pale blue sky, with a few silky white clouds floating in the sky. I didn't come up in one breath, and I fainted again.

Mrs. Mu took advantage of the dim candlelight, and after reading the note in her hand, she threw it into the incense burner and flicked it a few times with the hairpin on her head. The tongue of fire in the censer immediately swallowed the paper ball, turning it to ashes.
"Whew!" she breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes tiredly, leaned back on the soft couch as if she was sleeping, and muttered: "Lu Sheng has finally dealt with the affairs of the back house in a big way." Otherwise, what awaits him is probably the wrath of thunder. β
Mother Ping pulled a thin quilt and gently covered her body, and asked softly, "Madame, do you think this Lu Governor's Mansion is a Qing official?"
"He can't clear the official position, but it has nothing to do with us. All we have to do is report it to the top. Mrs. Mu raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, and said lazily, "However, this Lu Sheng looks like he is smiling all day long. In fact, he is a more cunning man than a fox. His house looked loose and unorganized. In reality, however, it is impregnable.
Our people can only be placed in those rough girls, and they dare not enter the inner courtyard at all. If you're not careful, he'll find out. Simply, we just want to know the general things in his house, and we don't want to know everything in detailγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Mother Ping heard Mrs. Mu's voice getting smaller and smaller, and her breathing gradually became even. Then I knew she was asleep. Alas, since the last time my father-in-law Wu left, my wife had to rest in bed for five or six days before she could get out of bed and walk around. Until now, the physical strength has not fully recovered. Every time she asked her what was going on in the pavilion, she always flickered and talked to him left and right.
Although Ping's mother feels sorry for this child who has grown up since childhood, she can't say more about some things. What Madame is doing now is originally right and useless, and she will be severely punished if she is wrong. To put it bluntly, it's a thankless errand. However, she had to do it again, who let Madame's lifeline still be far away in the capital!

Lan Xin had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt refreshed.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family led people and put breakfast on the table. A bowl of fragrant and thick red bean porridge, a plate of fragrant osmanthus cake, a plate of vegetarian buns in the shape of wheat ears, and a few plates of crisp and delicious homemade side dishes. Lan Xin is index finger moved, and he ate extremely satisfied.
After eating and drinking, he took Dongxiu and Red Sleeves to walk the horses. Lan Xin looked at the newly reclaimed land on the hillside and was very satisfied. It is conceivable that next spring, after the seeds are planted, there will be a green crop. In the summer, there are tender and delicious buds to eat. In autumn, the granary is filled with yellow, clear and large buds. The scene of the harvest is heartwarming to think about.
"Let's go up there and have a look. Lan Xin patted the head of the snow and ran to the top of the mountain first. Dongxiu and Red Sleeves also urged the horse forward, following behind Lan Xin. Lan Xin sat on the horse, looking at the hot valley, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a plan was slowly outlined in his mind.
Lan Xin threw himself off the horse, smiled and patted the snowy head, released the reins, and let it roam around on its own. Dongxiu and Redsleeves also dismounted, and the three horses flicked their tails and grazing leisurely on the hillside. Now the grass has long since withered and turned white, and they only sniff with their noses, and they don't really eat a few bites.
Lan Xin shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just that you feed them too much, and you don't eat such a good grass?"
"Yes!" said Red Sleeves with a smile, "and the people in the village heard that the girl was going to ride a horse today, and they got up early in the morning to feed them. Where would they see the dead grass? If it was green grass, they might eat a few bites. β
"yes, I can't starve them anyway. Lan Xin said with a smile, looking around casually, letting the three horses wander around at will. A cold wind blew, she shrunk her neck into the screen, "The wind on the top of this mountain is quite cold, I don't know γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" her voice paused, looking at a slender path, two seven or eight year old boys, chirping down the mountain, "Hey, those two children are they? Where are they going?"
Dong Xiu looked at it a few times, frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "They are Tong Xiaohu and Meng Zhuo." Seeing Lan Xin looking at him in surprise, Dong Xiu's face turned red, and she lowered her head and explained, "That's it, it's the two children that the slave told you last time, those two children that everyone thought they were lost, and then they came back." β
Lan Xin pulled Dongxiu and said, "Let's go and have a look." β
