Chapter 004 Family Business

Lu Qijun suddenly became angry, and the tea cup of the old kiln was smashed.

Broken porcelain splashed everywhere, and the fragrance of tea floated darkly.

Wen stood up and stood to the side with his head bowed lightly, as if frightened.

Lu Luo hurriedly supported her.

Wen quietly squeezed Lu Luo's hand.

The mother and daughter still have this tacit understanding, and when Wen made a small move, Lu Luo immediately understood.

"Dad, don't be angry, it's your daughter's fault if you get angry and hurt yourself!" Lu Luo trembled, wanted to cry but didn't cry, and said to Lu Qijun.

"Listen to yourself and say something!" Lu Qijun's face was pale, without half emotion, like watching an enemy staring at Lu Luo's mother and daughter, "Let you take care of your birthday, you actually said that you sold jewelry!" Do I force my wife and daughter to sell for a living? ”

"It's all my daughter's fault." Lu Luo supported Wen's family, but he stood two steps forward slightly, blocking Wen's behind him, his voice was soft and wet, "My daughter is not good at words, and she has not yet made her senses clear." ”

Lu Qijun also had a violent temper, and after getting angry, his heart calmed down a little.

He was still grunting and no longer spoke.

The maids heard the movement, but no one broke in. The maids who followed Wen and Lu Luo are all confidants that Wen has cultivated for many years. Without receiving a hint from the Wen family, they would not rush in to stir up the situation.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Lu Qijun didn't speak, and Lu Luo and Wen didn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, Lu Luo estimated that it was almost there, then he glanced at Lu Qijun and replied in a soft voice: "Dad, we have a lot of jewelry on us, which are all rewarded by our ancestors, and we can't use them up."

When my daughter went to Beijing, my ancestor rewarded two sets of heads, which were extraordinarily luxurious, and it was too extravagant to take them out, which violated our family style and integrity. Therefore, my mother and I discussed it a few days ago, but it was a pity to put it in vain, so it was better to sell it.

It just so happened that we only had more than 20 taels of silver left on us, and we sold cumbersome jewelry, and we also had two silver turnovers. ”

"More than twenty taels?" Lu Qijun's tone was mentioned, and he looked at Lu Luo angrily, feeling that she was dishonest.

They have been in Huzhou for many years, how can they not have savings?

Although Wen is not a daughter-in-law, she is the only official wife of the Lu family. The Lu family is so stubborn about Lu Qijun, how can they treat their mother and daughter badly?

Lu Qijun didn't believe that the Wen family had not accumulated.

"Dad, my daughter is telling the truth. We are in Huzhou Mansion, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in the public middle school, and on weekdays, we spend 20 taels of money every month, and we are all accompanying our ancestors and aunts and aunts to play cards, winning or losing uncertainly, and we have never saved.

If there is any entertainment, the ancestors will let go, and then go to the account room to get it, all the accounts can be checked, and I dare not ask for more. This time we went to Beijing, and the ancestor gave two hundred taels of silver in addition to rewarding some jewelry.

The ancestor also said that he originally wanted to give 1,000 taels, so that we would not be restrained when we arrived in Beijing. However, the road has not been smooth recently, in case of robbers, too much money will kill us, and it is better to be cautious.

The two hundred taels of silver given by the ancestors, the expenses on the road and the purchase of things after returning, now there are only more than twenty taels left. Over the years in Huzhou, only some clothes and jewelry have been saved.

When my mother and I went home, we originally relied on my father, so we didn't pay much attention to money. Celebrate the birthday of the fourth sister, this is what we should do, and my daughter thought of selling some jewelry"

Lu Luo looked frightened, and explained the matter in a soft voice.

Lu Qijun thought about it, Wen is indeed a weak and incompetent person, and the old lady is a powerful person, it is whimsical to expect Wen to make ghosts under the old lady and save private money.

In this way, Lu Qijun was even more angry: he was angry that Wen's mother and daughter were penniless, and that Wen's family was useless, and he had not made any good things in Huzhou Mansion for so many years.

"Okay, okay, keep the jewelry for your own use, what to sell!" Lu Qijun's face was still angry, "It's not early, you guys can rest." ”

Of course, Lu Qijun would not let Lu Luo sell jewelry. It's not for Lu Luo, it's for himself. He had always been generous outside, and if it was rumored that his daughter was selling jewelry, he would be disgraced himself.

He was angry, and when he saw Wen's mother and daughter, he was even more angry, and he just wanted to leave immediately.

His three aunts, the eldest aunt is wealthy, the second aunt is bright and moving, and the third aunt gave birth to his only son, all of whom have strengths and can relieve his boredom.

The mother and daughter of the Wen family alone are useless!

"If Wen Lexi comes back, the court doesn't pay much attention to him, and I will immediately send Wen's mother and daughter back to Huzhou Mansion. There are too many women in this family, and the yin qi is heavy, and I was restrained by them. Lu Qijun thought to himself.

After Lu Qijun left, Wen called the maid, cleaned up the small ancestral hall, and then the two of them went back to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard of the house, the eldest aunt and the third aunt used to live with their respective children; Lu Qijun took her second aunt and her three daughters to live in the West Cross Courtyard.

Wen came back, the eldest aunt moved to the East Cross Courtyard, and the third aunt moved to the South Cover Courtyard, still leading their respective children to live.

Lu Luo and Wen's main courtyard.

Lu Luo lives in the west wing of the main courtyard.

"Do you still sell the noodles?" Lu Luo distributed it for Wen and asked her in a low voice.

"Sell it. You have also seen that your father can't be the master of this family's money, and we will have a party in the future, if we take out the money, won't it make him suspicious? Wen said.

Wen's mother and daughter lack everything, but they are not short of money.

They have shops and fields in Huzhou Mansion and even in the capital, and they are all managed by the Wen family themselves who have trained reliable subordinates. Not to mention Lu Qijun, the ancestors who lived with them every day didn't know.

Lu fell in Huzhou Mansion, and there was a master who "deceived the world and stole his name".

Her master is a magic stick, setting up a stall to tell fortunes, but he actually has no real skills.

But Lu Luoyou, she was originally a feng shui master. She calculated a hexagram herself, followed the hints on the hexagram, and found her master. Every time there is any business, let the master take care of it, and then Lu Luo disguises himself as his little boy and goes out to help others see feng shui and face reading.

The people they come in and out of are all wealthy and noble families in Huzhou Mansion, and they ask for high prices every time.

As a result, not only did the business get better and better, but her master's reputation also became louder and louder.

Lu Luo didn't come out behind his back, he only shared money, and he made a lot of money in two years.

Wen knows all this money. Lu Luo handed over the money to her, and the Wen family bought another field and shop in Huzhou Mansion.

Under the names of their mother and daughter, there are fifty hectares of land and hundreds of shops everywhere. Even if they sit and eat the mountain, it is enough for the two of them to eat for a lifetime.

"We have to be more cautious in the future, unless your uncle comes back and is still in power, otherwise we must be careful everywhere." Wen Shi told Lu Luo.

Lu Luo nodded: "I know, mother." ”

"Don't see Mr. Qian, let him eat and drink for a while. Everything will wait for your uncle to come back and make plans. Wen said again.

Mr. Qian, it is Lu Luo's fake master. His name is Qianyan, an old god, and his ability to fool is a must. He is fifty-seven years old this year, his beard is gray but his spirit is strong, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones, but in fact he doesn't understand bullshit.

However, he has a good personality and is good to Lu Luo. Although he has no ability, Lu Luo also regards him as a master. Sometimes I gag with him, but I have some family affection.

This time, Lu Luo's mother and daughter went to Beijing, and Qianyan followed, anyway, he left Lu Luo, and there was no way to deceive. He bought a big house in the west of the city, and he ate fragrant and spicy food.

"Okay, mother." Lu Luo responded to all of Wen's words.

Wen sighed softly.

She took her daughter's hand and said softly: "Mother knows that life is not easy to be restrained, and she will let you be wronged. How can my mother bear it? It's just that he is your father in the end, if we leave the surname 'Lu', we will not be able to be above board. ”

Wen is not afraid of Lu Qijun.

However, Lu Luo's lifelong events are undecided. If he tears his face with Lu Qijun and makes trouble to the point of separation, Wen is afraid of implicating Lu Luo.

Lu Luo still needs the identity of the daughter of the Lu family.

"I'm not wronged." Lu Luo smiled, "I'm afraid that my mother will be wronged." ”

Mother and daughter comfort each other.

After freshening up, Lu Luo slept with Wen. Lying on the bed, when he was still sleepy, Wen told Lu Luo: "Tomorrow you get up early in the morning and send someone to ask Erniang for a doctor." ”

The second girl fell into the well, and everyone in the family, including Lu Qijun, only cared about asking what was going on, wanting to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but no one looked for a doctor for the second girl.

"Hmm." Lu Luo should go down.

"When you go to investigate the matter of Erniang's fall into the well, you must also use some heart. Erniang is the original daughter-in-law, and she is arrogant. Over the years, Jane's has belittled her in order to prevent her. If it weren't for Jane's, how could Erniang become an old girl?

If Erniang wants to win you over, she is just using us as stepping stones and wants to borrow a knife to kill people. Don't turn her down in one go, and don't talk to her. Wen said again.

Lu Luo and Wen need to beware of Erniang, and they also need Erniang. If the aunts attack the mother and daughter of the Wen family, will they come forward to fight themselves?

Erniang is a good shield.

Wen Shi told Lu Luo about Erniang a long time ago.

Lu Qijun's third daughter, the biological daughter of the eldest aunt Jane, married into the Jiang family. However, at first, the Jiang family wanted to ask to marry Erniang, after all, Erniang was a concubine.

This marriage was brokered by Erniang's sister Yuan Niang's in-laws. Unexpectedly, before the discussion began, things took a turn.

The Jiang family didn't want a second mother, but asked to marry a third mother instead.

In the middle, it is not only the eldest aunt who is making a ghost, but also Lu Qijun's approval.

It was the eldest aunt Jane and Lu Qijun who teamed up to trap Erniang.

The Jiang family is in business and is very rich. Now a large part of the daily expenses in Lu Qijun's mansion come from the Jiang family. Sanniang moved the Jiang family's money back to the eldest aunt.

After this family affair was stirred up, Lu Qijun never thought about Guan Erniang's marriage again; And the other aunts, who is willing to care about her if she doesn't like Erniang?

Erniang's sister Yuanniang, it was okay to marry into her mother-in-law's family at the beginning, but later her husband had a new love, she didn't take her seriously, and her mother-in-law didn't value her, she had no status herself, and she couldn't take care of Erniang.

"The second sister is also quite pitiful." Lu Luo sighed.

"Born in this family, and without a mother, can you not be pitiful?" Wen sighed, "It's also useless for herself." If it were you, it wouldn't be as miserable as her. ”

Lu Luo smiled softly in his mother's arms.

The next day, Lu Luo got up early and instructed the maid Biyu beside her to ask Erniang for a doctor.

Then, she took Yizhu and went to Erniang's yard.
