Chapter 380: Back to the door
Lu Ying won the opportunity to show her face again in front of the emperor, but she was not as grateful to Nianfu as she seemed to be.
In her opinion, Nianfu is just a few words lightly spoken by the emperor, but the person who really does the cow and horse is herself. Look at her rough hands full of chilblains, all of which she has made as a fan day and night these days. Most of the time she was able to get such an opportunity was due to herself. Now she has put gold on Nianfu's face, and it is right that she has taken advantage of herself.
But what if you don't get angry? Now that Nianfu is the high-ranking lord of Jiashan, can she still fight with her?
With a hint of unwillingness, Lu Ying went home.
Because she was suppressed before, in order to keep a low profile, she now doesn't even dare to sit in a carriage, and she walks in and out of the palace every day.
Thinking about how to use the opportunity of Xishan to make some achievements, so that the emperor could change his mind, but he unintentionally bumped into a woman.
"I'm sorry, girl, I didn't hit you, did I?"
The woman immediately apologized, but Lu Ying saw that people were easy to talk to, but she frowned and wanted to scold a few more words.
Unexpectedly, the little girl next to the woman taught the woman a lesson first, "What do you say is the matter with you, such a big person, you will even bump into people when you walk, why don't you pick up the embroidery work on the ground quickly?" If it gets dirty, people won't accept it, and even I will be scolded when I go back. ”
Lu Ying looked at it and was slightly surprised, "Aunt Lan? ”
After not seeing her for a few days, Lan Gu Ke looked much older.
It's not the old age on his face, but a deep exhaustion in his demeanor, as if he hasn't rested for many days. The whole person looks like overused porcelain, polished to a dull finish.
Of course, Lu Ying's complexion is not much better, it is because Langu is ashamed of herself, but she also has a delicate sense of balance, and is willing to talk to her more.
"Miss Lu, why are you so haggard?"
No one wants to mention it more, Lu Ying only said, "Recently, I have been busy with disaster relief as a fan, where can I be free?" Are you married? What is this going to do? ”
Lan Gu stroked her face a little embarrassed. The woman's bun is exposed. said dryly, "Yes, I've been married for some days." It's just a matter of embroidering small objects and making a few small bucks...... Well, in fact, my family's livelihood is not worried. My man runs a grocery store in the capital. It's been generations...... Not. It was his daughter. ”
Her eyes fell on Zixia, who took a few dollars from Lu Ying and bought snacks at the food stall, Lan Gu tried to make herself look less embarrassed.
But the picture of being taught by her stepdaughter before has been seen by Lu Ying. Seeing that this girl dared to reprimand her stepmother unscrupulously outside, she had to do embroidery work to make money since she was newly married, and you can imagine the situation of Aunt Lan at home.
Lu Ying didn't care about whether Aunt Lan was doing well or not, but she was interested in sprinkling some salt on people's wounds, "You are too anxious to get married, and I don't even have time to come to congratulate you." But with the lord of Jiashan adding makeup to you, you can't look at what we want to give. ”
Lan Gu had already offended Nianfu, and she deliberately said this, obviously it was a temptation and a provocation. Seeing that Lan Gu's expression changed obviously, Lu Ying knew the end, but she didn't ask any more, and just said a few polite words and left.
Lan Gu made her feel sad.
I thought that I had been married for so long, and no one in the Ouyang family came to ask, did she really mean that when she married a girl who went to Lu, did she mean that she spilled the water?
But when she returned home after sending the embroidery, she saw the matchmaker who had given her the matchmaker to her.
Zhong Shanxun's matchmaker is really reliable, and she will visit her from time to time to see how people are doing. It is not only to show concern, but also to lay the groundwork for future business.
Mi Fusheng hasn't returned home yet, and the Mi family doesn't want to have a bad reputation in the neighborhood, so they are polite to the matchmaker. ordered someone to pour tea for her, and her mother-in-law specially used the money to buy fruit for her to eat. Although it is a bargain, in the end it is full of face.
Seeing Lan Gu coming back, he knocked again, "You are now from our family, you should know where to turn your elbow." Don't do anything to dig into your own corners, it won't do you any good or anyone else. ”
Lan Gu should go down and let the matchmaker into the room, only saying that everything is fine. But the matchmaker is used to looking at people's eyes and looking at her looks, don't you know her situation?
"Okay, you don't have to hide it, I told you about the situation of this Mi family a long time ago, and it is expected that your new daughter-in-law is not good. However, the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and every family has come over like this. I'm just here to ask you, has his family done anything excessive? If you get a few scoldings, it's okay, but if you are beaten and you are not given food or anything, you have to say it! ”
Lan Gu hurriedly shook her head, "These are not available. ”
In the past few days of marriage, she has gradually understood. In addition to taking money too seriously, this Mi family has no vices.
Except for the first day of the wedding, her dowry was robbed, which made the boss unhappy, and then she knelt in the courtyard and cried until midnight.
Since then, all her dowry money has been taken away by Mi Fusheng, and Lan Gu has nothing in her hands, but she feels quiet.
Although there is something dirty in the usual concubine, it is nothing more than asking her to do more housework at home. After a month of marriage, Lan Gu learned all the rough work of washing and cooking that she despised the most. But she only felt that she could change quietly, so she didn't fight.
It's just that Mi Fusheng accidentally saw a pair of uppers she embroidered that day and thought it was good, so he took it to the people in the embroidery village and said it was not bad, so he took some embroidery work for her and came back to do it.
But if you want to do embroidery, you don't have time to do housework, because the money is collected by Mi Fusheng, so without Aunt Lan's squeak, Mi Fusheng went to quarrel with the family, and in the future, except for the things in their room, the others didn't ask her to do it.
Lan Gu has less housework, but more embroidery work, and she can't tell which one is heavy and which is leisurely. But thinking about the embroidery work is finer than housework, I think Mi Fusheng is good to her.
And Mi Fusheng asked her to teach Zixia needlework, and there were many helpers to earn money, which made Zixia's relationship with her a little loose. Although he still yells at her, he won't bully her like he did when he first saw her.
Lan Gu felt that her life was gradually straightening out, and she didn't feel any sadness.
But the matchmaker looked at her face, but sighed, "You, you're just too honest." Seeing you like this, you must be staying up late every day, right? This needlework is to earn a few hard-earned money, you should also take it easy, don't burn your eyes, you will suffer yourself in the future. ”
Lan Gu thanked her for her concern, but she didn't think so, if she could work and buy a quiet, she would admit it.
Seeing that she didn't go to her heart, the matchmaker didn't bother to persuade again, so she took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you gone back for a walk?" The Ouyang family didn't say anything like this? ”
Lan Gu once again aroused the unhappiness in her heart, and her tone unconsciously carried a little resentment, "They didn't come to see me, why should I go back?" ”
The matchmaker was stunned, and then sneered, "Are you really the eldest lady of the Ouyang family?" Even if you are the official lady of the Ouyang family, you have to go back to the door by yourself, so that you can have contacts in the future. You've been out for so long, you haven't even been back once, have you? ”
Belch...... Lan Gu's expression was a little unnatural, and she said, "He said...... If we go back like this, we don't know if there will be any space on the other side of the road......"
Even she couldn't convince herself of this reason, the matchmaker was a good person, and she immediately understood, "I'm afraid that I'm going to make a return gift, so I don't want to?" ”
Lan Gu blushed, and the matchmaker shook her head, "You husband and wife, you are too ignorant." Who is the Ouyang family, can they take advantage of your idea? If you have to be idle, the neighbors on the left and right will inquire about how many girls can have such a decent dowry as you when they get married? What's wrong with giving someone a gift for nothing, isn't that right? You are a new daughter-in-law, and you don't even want to come to this face, it's not that I'm talking about you, it's too useless! It's only been a few days since he got married, and he made money as a cow and a horse for his family, and he didn't even go back to his mother's house, what does it look like? No, this matter can't be so nonsense from you, otherwise people will talk about it when they turn around, but they will say that I am unreliable as a mediator, and if I don't mention you, I will go to your mother-in-law to talk about it. ”
How dare Lan Gu let her go to her mother-in-law? Busy taking care of the matter, I promised that I would definitely go to discuss it with Mi Fusheng.
But this matchmaker couldn't believe her, and it happened that Mi Fusheng came back, and in front of him, as soon as he said the words, Mi Fusheng's face turned red, and he sneered, "I planned to go for a long time, but I was busy in the shop just after the spring, and I didn't have time, so we will go tomorrow, and we must go, can't we?" ”
The matchmaker got his repeated assurances, and then left the Mi family.
Turning his head, Mi Fusheng said unhappily, "Why did you recruit her?" and to inject money for nothing. ”
Lan Gu was bold and said, "The needlework I made these days is enough to buy gifts, right?" ”
But Mi Fusheng immediately changed his face and said, "You don't eat or drink at home on weekdays?" Make such a small amount of money, you can't even support yourself, and I'm embarrassed to say! ”
Lan Gu was aggrieved in her heart, people said that marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, how could a man support his wife and talk so much?
I wanted to argue a few words, but Mi Fusheng said again, "Don't think that if you marry me, I will have to support you for nothing." It's right for people to have a little daughter-in-law, but you're three years older than me. If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't marry at your age, I wouldn't have married you, otherwise wouldn't it be much more interesting for me to find a big girl than you? ”
As soon as Lan Gu heard this, she was speechless.
Age is her hard flaw, and every time Mi Fusheng mentions it, she always feels like a dwarf. Especially some private words in the boudoir when no one is in the middle of the night, Lan Gu can't say it, but Mi Fusheng's various dislikes make her feel inferior.
Fortunately, at dinnertime, Lu Ying sent someone to send a few small gifts, saying that it was to make up for her wedding gift, and Mi Fusheng showed a little joy.
From the gifts, he picked and chose some things that he didn't want, and scraped together some groceries from his own shop, barely put together a gift, and went to the broken garden the next day.
(Have a good weekend, let go of the prosperity and come out to ask for pink~~~) (To be continued......)
