Chapter 6, An Eventful Spring
Lu Ruxue went to the "Siyi Garden" to say goodbye to her mother. www.biquge.info Mrs. Lu San suddenly picked up a letter from the kang case and handed it to her daughter.
"Ruxue, do you still remember the Xuande Houfu that your mother mentioned to you a few years ago?"
"Remember, Mrs. Xuandehou and her mother are handkerchiefs, and they have been in love since childhood!" Yun is the daughter of Zuo Shaoqing of Zhengshipin Dali Temple.
With the Wu family, who is also the right Shaoqing of the Sipin Dali Temple, today's Mrs. Xuandehou has been an old acquaintance since she was a child, and because the two mansions live next to each other, they have a very close relationship before getting married.
It wasn't until later that Wu married the son of Xuandehou, now Xuandehou. And the Yun family married Huaiyuan County, and the two had less contact. Every year, only in the poor season, the two will meet in Beijing.
Lu Ruxue didn't know why her mother suddenly mentioned this Mrs. Xuandehou, and she opened the letter and read it with a puzzled face.
It turned out that at the end of the summer and autumn of last year, Xuande Hou Jin Chaoxing once again followed Yingguo Gong to conquer Yunnan, and when he returned from a great victory in the first month, he unfortunately died of a serious illness on the way back to Beijing.
When the news was transmitted back to Jingshi, it was just in time for the Shangyuan Festival, so the emperor's order was kept secret. It was not until the coffin of Xuandehou arrived in Beijing on the twentieth day of the first month that he was called to posthumously reward him.
Lu Ruxue's family set off for Beijing on the nineteenth day of the first month to return to Huaiyuan County, so they did not know about it at that time. Fold the letter and return it to your mother.
"According to what is written in the letter, is Aunt Wu planning to return to her hometown with Cousin Jin and Fu Ling? But Xuandehou's coffin has only arrived in Beijing for less than a month, is this too urgent?"
Xuandehou's hometown is Huaiyuan County. Now the Jin Mansion in the city is inhabited by the brother of the old Xuandehou. The Jin Mansion and the Lu Mansion also have mutual contacts on weekdays.
"Your cousin Jin is the same age as your brother this year, and your aunt Wu originally planned to wait for her son to return to her hometown next year and after the crown of knights. ”
But Mrs. Jin wrote to the court and let the brother of Marquis Xuande, who had been appointed as the commander of Bao Qingwei, inherit the title. This brother inherited his brother, and it was a matter of discord with etiquette, and he had to be inherited by a lower rank. But somehow, this time the emperor summoned grace to approve the matter. I also demoted your Aunt Wu to be a lady of the third grade!"
From Mrs. Yipinhou to Mrs. Sanpinshu, she is a woman who is afraid and can't stand it. This is not the same as being demoted in the workplace, it is a matter of face. What's more, in this ancient world, both men and women, looked at face more important than life.
Lu Ruxue guessed that if it weren't for the fact that Wu had a son who needed her to take care of, I was afraid that such a holy decree would become her life-amulet, and she followed Xuandehou directly.
"Hey, your Aunt Wu is afraid that she will be heartbroken under the repeated blows, so she is in a hurry to take your golden cousin to return to her hometown, maybe she wants to leave the sad place of Jingshi earlier!"
Speaking of these things, Yun's eyes were also red, she and Wu were sisters, otherwise she would not let her daughter call Wu her aunt.
For these chaotic things in the Prince's Mansion, Lu Ruxue feels a headache every time she listens to it, but she also knows that with her identity, she can't hide if she wants to, so even if she doesn't like it in her heart, she often takes these things to heart.
"It's good to come back, my daughter remembers, it seems that Cousin Jin learned kung fu with Xuandehou!"
After this incident, as long as Cousin Jin himself is not discouraged and retreats, and can be inspirational and energetic, sooner or later he will achieve something. You don't have to rely on the shadow of your ancestors!"
Lu Ruxue still has the thoughts of modern people after all, not all people are born rich second generation, and there is nothing wrong with starting from scratch with their own hands.
But the Yun family is an authentic ancient, so naturally she feels sorry for the Wu family, and feels that if the son of the Wu family can attack the knight, she can also rely on it more.
"Where is it so easy, your Aunt Wu is just your cousin Jin's son, can you let him go to the battlefield and fight with those martial artists?"
Yun's words reminded Lu Ruxue that this dynasty values sons over daughters, and if a woman has no husband and no children, her life will be sad.
is like Aunt Liu, although she has a certain amount of savings, she has no support, and she still has to live a life under the fence.
"Mother, don't be sad, it's good if Aunt Wu comes back, the two families live close, and my mother often goes around to comfort, and after a long time, these things will pass!"
Time is the best medicine to cure heart disease, and what Wu needs most now is to guard his son and live his own life.
Yun sighed for a while, and when he saw that the meal had been arranged, he pulled his daughter to eat. Perhaps because of this incident, the mother and daughter didn't eat much, and they put bamboo chopsticks in less than half a bowl of rice.
When eating in the Jingshi Taifu Mansion, Lu Ruxue could only use a toothbrush. The so-called tooth chopsticks are chopsticks made of ivory. Back in Huaiyuan Lu Mansion, Lu Ruxue prefers to use chopsticks made of bamboo, which reminds her of past memories.
She also had to learn piano skills with Mr. Liu, so she had lunch and went back to her yard without even drinking tea.
When she came out of the "Siyi Garden", Lu Ruxue specially called the first-class maid Chunlu beside her mother.
"Mother's lunch is small, you go to the east kitchen and the mother in charge of the house to instruct them to make a few delicate snacks, not too sweet, and send them to your mother in an hour. You and Chunyu persuade your mother to go in!"
Mrs. Lu San has four first-class maids by her side, Chunlu, Chunyu, Chunhua and Chunmiao, as well as a mother surnamed Qin. It's just that this Qin's mother is the nurse of the third lady, and she has become more and more unsatisfied in her work in recent years.
Lu Ruxue persuaded her mother several times, but her mother would always be soft-hearted, so whatever she had now, she would only look for the four big girls, and would not go to Qin's mother.
"Yes, the slave maid has written it down!" And among the four maids, Lu Ruxue has the best impression of Chunlu. After explaining, he motioned to Caiyue to take a purse and give it to Chunlu.
"When the meal is over, those mothers in the East Kitchen are afraid that they will all rest, and you can't go empty-handed, you can keep some of these, and the rest will be rewarded to them!"
The purse on Caiyue's body is mostly used to reward people, so it is only twenty or thirty copper coins, which is not much.
"It is the blessing of the slaves and maids to do things for the master, where is the need to get the reward of the eldest lady!" Chunlu did not dare to accept it, and thanked him.
"Sister Chunlu, take it away, the eldest lady is rewarded for your willingness to do things with all your heart!" Cai Xingzui was quick, helped Chunlu up, took the purse from Cai Yue's hand, and stuffed it into Chunlu's arms.
This fast mouth also has the advantage of a fast mouth, and nothing needs to be explained by Lu Ruxue one by one.
Chunlu accepted the reward and showed her loyalty, Lu Ruxue smiled and didn't say anything, and was helped back to the "Dian Medicine Garden" by Caiyue.
The piano art class in the afternoon was just a formality, and Lu Ruxue didn't like to play the piano very much.
But as the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion, even if she can't be proficient in this art, she can't know it at all, at least under the plucking of her fingertips, the palace merchant horn will be five sounds, so that it will not be ridiculous and difficult to hear.
Mr. Liu's ancestors were also a family of cultivators, but it was passed on to Mr. Liu's generation, and now he doesn't even have the fame of a showman.
Fortunately, Mr. Liu has liked piano skills since he was a child, so he can be regarded as self-taught, although he is not a big man, but it is more than enough to teach Lu Ruxue. Because of this, the family has an income and will not sit on the empty side.
