No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, Lu Zhenbang's itinerary to Lishui County was still set. For the sake of her youngest son, even if the old lady didn't want to see anyone related to the Jiang family in her heart now, she still found Zhihua and sent her people to have a late-night meeting the night before Lu Zhenbang's departure.

"Tell me, what do you want?" After discussing with Lu Zhenbang, the mother and son both thought that the Jiang family was meddling in Lu Zhenbang's affairs in order not to avenge the Jiang family, after all, the only blood and blood of the Jiang family was still in the Lu family. Jiang Wu's real purpose, the old lady already knew in her heart, and now she called Zhihua, and she also asked her to say it in person to feel at ease.

Zhihua lowered her head and was silent for a while, and the old lady was a little uncontrollable, "Now everyone is guarding outside, there is no one else here, you don't have to act with the old body anymore, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, the only thing the old body wants now is the safety of your third uncle's family." ”

Zhihua is not a drama, acting is not her hobby, and now that the old lady took the initiative to tear her face, she is also happy. Smiling slightly, she finally spoke: "Didn't my uncle's request come to the door in person that day?" Did the old lady forget it? ”

"If it's just what was mentioned that day, didn't the old body agree to it all? Why does Jiang Wu still meddle in your third uncle's career? As soon as Jiang Wu came to the door that day, the old lady was full of unhappiness, so her tone was no longer so kind.

Zhihua smiled mockingly: "It turns out that the old lady hasn't forgotten?" So dare to ask the old lady, where is my mother's dowry list? Where is the title deed? Where is the deed of sale for the head of the house? And Aunt Zhou, I heard that she is tired of eating chicken now, and only drinks chicken soup that has been carefully boiled in the kitchen and skimmed off the slick? Can this meaty Buddhist scripture be burned to my mother in the future? ”

The old lady was stunned by this series of questions, and said dejectedly: "Tomorrow I will order someone to hand over your mother's dowry, Aunt Zhou, I will also send someone to urge her to fast and copy the scriptures. Are you satisfied? ”

Zhihua smiled: "The old lady said that it was funny, these are all things you promised a long time ago, and they have nothing to do with the third uncle's affairs." ”

"And what else do you want?" Mrs. Lu can also see it now, this big girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is not so easy to deal with at all.

In fact, what the granddaughter asks for is very simple, only for the younger brother to grow up safely. The uncle also said that the younger brother is safe, and the third uncle will be fine. The old lady has been in charge for so many years, and this little thing couldn't be easier for you, isn't it? After a pause, Zhihua added: "By the way, in addition to ensuring the safety of my younger brother, the rest of the trivial matters of our sister and brother will not bother the old lady anymore." "The old lady has been in charge of the Lu family's internal affairs for so many years, if she didn't have her support behind her back, how could Aunt Zhou dare to harm her younger brother in the first place? If it weren't for her attitude of turning a blind eye that day, how could the three strangers who harmed her brother sneak into the Lu Mansion? Now as long as the old lady tries her best to ensure the safety of their sister and brother, Zhihua can basically sit back and relax.

The old lady nodded, "Anything else?" This request is indeed very easy for her to do, and it is not too much, but I am afraid that Zhihua will have to make an inch, and then mention something else.

"There's nothing else, my granddaughter is not a troublemaker, as long as the old lady restrains her other younger brothers and sisters in the future, and doesn't come to provoke me and Yan'er, I have no interest in taking the initiative to trouble them." Up and down the Lu Mansion, except for Zhi'an, who is close to the blood and the second room, Zhihua has no good impression of the rest of the people, but she is not the person with a small belly, and she keeps a distance from them.

"Okay, what you said, the old body has written it down, and no one in the Dingbao Mansion will dare to snub your brothers and sisters in the future!" The old lady's eyes flashed: "However, you also bring a word to your uncle for the old body, if he has three long and two short in office, the old man will definitely be buried with your sister and brother!" ”

Zhihua was not worried about whether her uncle could protect Lu Zhenbang at the border pass, and replied: "My granddaughter must bring the words." But don't talk too much about the old lady. Where did Aunt Zhou find the maids who harmed my brother that day? If the old lady takes it lightly and doesn't look down on Aunt Zhou, even if the younger brother goes out of the house in the future, this account will be counted by the uncle in the old lady. That's it, granddaughter farewell! With that, she bowed to the thoughtful old lady and left.

begged his uncle to interfere in Lu Zhenbang's career, Zhihua's only purpose was to protect himself, and he never had the slightest intention of harming him. Uncle has been operating in Lishui County for many years, in other words, Lu Zhenbang went there, as long as his uncle is willing to cooperate with him, it is actually very beneficial. The border pass county order is the easiest to accumulate merits, and with his uncle mentioning it, Lu Zhenbang will definitely be promoted after returning from there, so for Lu Zhenbang, Zhihua has no sense of indebtedness.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Lu Zhenbang set off for his post with his wife Qiu and son Lu Heng. There is no women's school in the border pass, and I heard that the wind and sand are very strong there, and most of the women in the border pass are blown by the wind and sand and their skin is rough, so the couple who feel sorry for their daughter decided to leave their twin daughters in Beijing to continue their boudoir education. Originally, the old lady also mentioned that Lu Heng would also stay, but after Lu Zhenbang saw his nephew in the second room, how could he dare to leave his son for the old lady to raise? said that "men should be sharpened more" and insisted on taking his son away.

After the old lady personally sent her youngest son away, she called Mother Liu, another steward beside her: "You go and open my cage and take the red pine box inside." "Mother Wu's punishment has not been received yet, and now Songling Courtyard is in charge of Mother Liu. Mother Liu was born in the Lu family, and was a first-class maid who served Master Lu close before he got married. Perhaps for this reason, even if Master Lu married her to the steward of the Lu family, the two main mothers still didn't treat her very well, whether it was the Feng family or the current old lady, they all reused their mother's maids to marry. After sitting on the cold bench for many years, she once got the (river crab) momentum, but Liu's mother was not rampant, but she was more dedicated than before, and soon took what the old lady wanted. Mrs. Lu checked it and after confirming that there was nothing missing, she handed it to Mother Liu: "This is the dowry of the eldest lady before her death." There is a slip in it, and you go and open the storehouse and take it out according to the things listed above, and if there is any broken one, convert it into silver and send it all to the Akika-in Temple. Liu's mother took the order and took the right card to do things. The old lady called Xingyu, the second-class maid of Songling Courtyard, and instructed her: "You go to the kitchen to spread the word, and in the future, Aunt Zhou's diet must be paid special attention to, and there must be no trace of meat, so as not to blaspheme the Buddha." Miss Seven is not yet a full moon, and Aunt Zhou has to copy the Buddhist scriptures from scratch again, and the Haitang Courtyard estimates that there are not enough people, so you will go there to serve in the future. You are still a little girl, and you have no experience with children, so you don't have to worry about Miss Seven, just serve your aunt to copy the scriptures. Xingyu is the most clever one among the second-class maids in Songling Academy, how can she not understand the meaning of the old lady when she hears this, and salutes: "The slave maid obeys the order, and will serve the good aunt from beginning to end." She deliberately accentuated the word "from the beginning", indicating that she understood. The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead, be a good errand, you are still my maid, if anyone dares to make things difficult in Haitang Courtyard in the future, you can come directly to Songling Courtyard to return, and the old body will definitely make decisions for you!" If you do this job well, you will have your own benefits in the future. "The maid sent by Songling Courtyard, how can anyone in Haitang Courtyard dare to make things difficult? The old lady's implication was that she wanted to come over often to report the news of the Begonia Courtyard. Xingyu figured out what the old lady meant, and took the order.
