Chapter 58 Appointment

The early winter morning has brought out a few traces of the bitter chill of winter, in order to make a living, although the sun has just risen, there are already people running back and forth on the street.

The sound of crackling firecrackers in front of Lu's house came to mind, attracting those civilian women who got up early to buy groceries. Twenty-two strings of firecrackers were set off, and after a cup of tea, there was already a circle of people watching the excitement in front of Lu's house.

I saw that the gate of the Lu Mansion was open, and a team of uniformly dressed in soap and blue costumes carried a gift box covered with red silk, and entered in an orderly manner, looking at where they came from.

"Tsk, the little guy in the lead is carrying a live goose, right? It's winter, and it's not easy to find live geese! Who hired it? It's so grand. A coarse cloth woman with a basket of vegetables in her hand exclaimed.

A woman beside her, who was also carrying a basket of vegetables, triumphantly showed that she was well-informed: "You don't know this, do you? "The woman was dressed in much better material than coarse cloth, and looked like a purchasing manager in a small family's house.

When the civilian women heard this, they all looked at it curiously. One of them, who was a little younger and articulate, showed a flattering smile, and preemptively said: "This eldest sister is a well-informed person at first glance, so I can ask you to say a few more words to solve the doubts of the big guy." ”

The satisfaction of suddenly becoming the focus of everyone's attention made the lady in charge smile and squint pleasantly, she was a cheerful person. also no longer lost everyone's appetite, and explained out loud. "I heard that yesterday the Holy Lord personally gave the marriage of the eldest lady of the Lu family and the prince of Weiguo, and now we see it. It must be the next team of the Patriotic Mansion. ”

These people at the bottom of the market are not so well-informed, and some people can't believe it: "How is it possible!" How can this Lu family be worthy of the gate of the Patriotic Mansion? Could this Miss Lu, who was given marriage, be the one who took the initiative to withdraw from the Zhang family some time ago? ”

The lady in charge who was bent on showing off her knowledge was waiting for someone to question it, and then she poured out the news she had overheard from the conversation between the husband and wife of the main family yesterday: "You don't know anything about this." Speaking of this Miss Lu, that's really a strange woman......"

Around the gate of Lu's house, the people who watched the excitement were all women who got up early to buy vegetables and had enough spare time. At this time, listening to the lady in charge, she was talking about the dazzling thing of Miss Lu in the Jinluan Hall yesterday, and she was also a woman. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart. The disaster relief problem that plagued the emperor's courtiers was solved by a woman with the ambition of serving the country.

"So to speak. This Miss Lu is really a model among our women! No wonder the prince of Weiguo asked for marriage on the spot, it was really wise...... That, what's Hui? A woman took the lead in admiring, but her knowledge was limited. I can't think of the words of admiration I want to express.

Now the lady in charge has another chance to show off. Immediately said: "Discernment!" My lord said the same thing, if it weren't for the fact that the door of the Weiguo Mansion was too high, our lord would still want to fight for my young master. ”

Some women couldn't get used to the smug appearance of this lady in charge, and stabbed in a weird way: "Pull it down, even if there is no prince of Weiguo, your family can't reach the Lu family, right?" Miss Lu has such a noble character, and the family members of the talented family who were in charge of the family at the beginning all said that they would retire, how could they look down on your family? "This woman is cunning. deliberately bowed his head and hid in the crowd to make a sound, but he was not afraid of being recognized.

The lady in charge was ashamed and annoyed. Inspecting the surrounding crowd for a while, they still couldn't find the person who said this, and their anger surged up without choosing to speak: "It was the beginning!" You also said that this Miss Lu is a person who has withdrawn from her family, and now she has no dowry, if there is no prince of Weiguo to look at her with blue eyes, I think, the family who proposes to her in the future may not be much better than my lord's family! ”

Although what she said was telling the truth, those women who had a sense of substitution for Miss Lu's scenery at this time couldn't listen to it, and some people couldn't help but refute: "Miss Lu was praised by the saint herself, and she should be a model for women in this world, such a good girl's family, how can those crooked melons and cracked dates match?" In my opinion, she and the prince of Weiguo are golden boys and girls, a pair made in heaven! There are many people who defend Miss Lu, and when they heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the lady in charge was blushing, she was about to argue with everyone, and the articulate woman who asked the question earlier hurriedly came out to change the topic and save the scene: "Anyway, the lady of the Zhang family, who was engaged to Miss Lu before, also spread the word earlier, saying that Miss Lu forgot her righteousness when she saw profit and got into the eyes of money. Now Miss Lu's righteous act is really a slap in the face! It's ridiculous that this Zhang family has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, for the sake of that femme fatale, such a good daughter-in-law was missed in vain! The topic was cleverly turned, causing everyone to put aside their disputes and share the enemy: "That's it!" "That's right!"

In order to save face, the lady in charge also stood up and echoed: "As the old saying goes, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been popular for a long time, how can the fabricated rumors stand the test of time?" After all, it's still exposed! The Zhang family covets the rich marriage of the Li family, and marries such a daughter-in-law with a bad stomach to enter the door, in the future, there will definitely be regrets in his family! "The Zhang and Li families have long been the laughing stock in Beijing, although her main family is not as good as these two, but she has no pressure to mock.

After these women finished discussing, all the subordinate teams of the Weiguo Mansion also entered the Lu family. Now that the Lu family has closed the door, there is no more excitement to see, and everyone is gradually dispersed to go to work. There were still unfinished women, and several of them walked in groups, chatting and walking towards the vegetable market. In just half a day, Miss Lu's legendary deeds spread all over Beijing.

Li Yuxue, who was in the boudoir, heard about Lu Zhihua as early as yesterday. Early this morning, there was news of the grand appointment of the Weiguo Mansion, and when Li's mother talked about it, she was having breakfast, and when she heard it, she was so angry that she dropped her chopsticks: "This cheap, people, but they really know how to pretend!" Hmph, didn't you just donate 100,000 stone of grain? If it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't be able to show up now, which round would I get her to be in the limelight! It's no problem for our Li family to donate 200,000 stones! ”

Mother Li secretly slandered herself, the 200,000 Shi Li family is not nothing, but with the current price of grain in the capital, how much money can it earn? Just for the sake of the young lady, no matter how much the lord indulges her, she will not nod and agree to donate to the court in vain. But she didn't dare to say this directly, and smiled dryly: "What Miss said is true! Now that you are the future mistress of the Zhang family, why bother with her, a former subordinate, who is defeated. This Mother Li is also thick-skinned, and directly ignored that her future aunt is Miss Lu who doesn't take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage.

But these words scratched Li Yuxue's itch, and robbing Lu Zhihua's fiancΓ© has now become the proudest thing in her heart. No matter how good Miss Lu is, Zhang Gongzi doesn't look down on her, he just wants to marry herself? Even her half-father's sister will have to live by her own face in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Yuxue's resentment calmed down a little, and then she wanted to compare her former opponent with her former opponent in another matter. "Lu Zhihua has withdrawn from his family, and he will not have a dowry in the future, and the Weiguo Mansion is hindered by the holy decree to give marriage, and the dowry is probably just a beautiful face, right?"

The dowry, like the dowry, is also exquisite. Like Lu Zhihua, a low-ranking girl who makes it clear that there will not be too many dowries, the Weiguo Mansion will definitely send away some useless dowries like other high-ranking families. That's why Li Yuxue said so surely.

"This ......," Li's mother didn't know how to answer. Let's tell you the truth, it will definitely make the young lady angry; Let her be followed, and she will be punished again when she learns the truth in the future. Li's mother was really embarrassed.

Li's mother knows her own young lady, why doesn't Li Yuxue know how to serve her old servant for many years? Even if you don't care about her anymore, seeing her expression now, you know that your guess doesn't seem to be accurate: "What? Am I not right? ”

Hearing the cold tone of the young lady, Mother Li didn't dare to hesitate any longer, turned her heart sideways, and told the truth: "Duke Wei and his wife have not yet returned to Beijing, and the matter of this appointment is handled by the prince of Wei Guo himself." The old slave heard that the prince was not an ordinary concern for the eldest lady of the Lu family, and he personally went out of the capital after retiring from the dynasty yesterday. Early in the morning, he personally carried the pair of live geese to the Lu family for employment. The old slave also heard that this time the prince had emptied half of the treasury of the Weiguo Mansion, and the people in Beijing saw with their own eyes that countless treasures were carried into the Lu family from the Weiguo Mansion......"

"Enough!" Li Yuxue waved her hands, and all the breakfast that had not been called to be removed was swept to the ground, and a crisp sound of broken porcelain sounded, which startled Li's mother to kneel down immediately, kneeling on top of these fragments. She didn't care about the tingling pain in her knees, and pleaded in fear: "Miss is angry! ”

Anger? How can Li Yuxue calm her anger? The lion of the Zhang family opened his mouth and asked for a bunch of valuable objects for her dowry, and in the future, when she passed the door, all the dowry would be presented to her mother-in-law for safekeeping. In this way, the dowry gift sent by the Zhang family is just ordinary, in order not to cause other people's jokes, it is just a good face. Not to mention the live geese, all the dowry combined, even half of the value of her dowry is not enough! In contrast, Li Yuxue only felt that someone slapped her face twice, making her face burn and her heart bleeding. (To be continued.) )
