The words had been spoken, and Lu Qingrong quietly waited for Jiang Xuan's response.

She sighed silently in her heart, once this conversation passed, she and Jiang Xuan would be the same as other couples in the Great Qi Dynasty in the future.

After all, do you still have to follow the rules here and be a virtuous wife?

Regardless of the fact that she and Jiang Xuan did not have the slightest emotional foundation before, even if she really had a good impression of him, what could she do? Could it be that a son who has reached the age of eighteen has been sleeping outside with her through the screen all the time?

Although Lu Qingrong didn't believe the rumors that Jiang Xuan was lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane earlier, he suddenly thought at this time, if he really took the maid into the room...... It's better than him running out twice in three days.

Jiang Xuan outside did not respond for a long time.

Need to think about it for so long?

Just as Lu Qingrong was about to ask again, Jiang Xuan's voice finally came from outside.

"Who did you learn this from?" There was a hint of helplessness in Jiang Xuan's tone.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong didn't understand what he meant.

"I heard that there are no others in Lord Lu's backyard, where did you know about these things?" Jiang Xuan continued to ask.

"How do you know that my father's yard is ......," Lu Qingrong reacted immediately.

"Isn't it?" Jiang Xuan was very confident, "The rumors in the market, since there are rumors about me, there are naturally others who say about others." ”

That's a lot of information.

Could it be that Lu Yiduo is also famous? But it's not a bad reputation, Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart.

It turned out that Jiang Xuan had also heard of the rumors about himself.

"There is no one in my father's courtyard." Lu Qingrong still admitted his statement, "It's my second uncle who has two aunts, and I heard that there are also ...... There are also dormitories. ”

Jiang Xuan on the other end of the screen said "um", and fell silent again.

Lu Qingrong felt that at least half of the incense had passed before he opened his mouth again, but he still did not answer his question positively.

"Those maids in the Yuyuan have all been sent by Mrs. Wu every now and then in the past two years, and I should have mentioned this to you before." Jiang Xuan said slowly: "At first, I refused a few times, but I sent away the old one and came with a new one. So I went with her, and when the people came to me, they still had to listen to me. ”

Lu Qingrong was lying on the rosewood stepping bed in the middle, quietly listening to Jiang Xuan's words, and had some doubts about his attitude in his heart.

"Most of their deeds are still with Mrs. Wu, and I don't want to embarrass them too much." Jiang Xuan continued: "At that time, I thought that instead of sending Mrs. Wu away and letting Mrs. Wu come again, it would be better to stay in Yuyuan first, and when Yuyuan has a housemother in the future, find a suitable person for them and then release them." ”

Lu Qingrong finally understood what he meant at this moment.

Is this to explain to himself that those maids have nothing to do with him?

"I see that there are at least a dozen of them, what do they do in Yuyuan on weekdays?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"You should have noticed it these days, I really don't have so much to do here, and I don't let others into the inner room on weekdays, they mostly do anything in the back, and I don't care too much." Jiang Xuan looked indifferent.

Lu Qingrong was convinced of his statement.

In the past few days in Yuyuan, except for the occasional sight of Begonia coming to help him clean up the house when Jiang Xuan was away, I really haven't seen anyone else come in.

Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that those people make powder and grease every day, and wear heavy makeup, it turns out that they really don't have any errands to do.

In fact, if it was just like this, Lu Qingrong would be out of sight and out of mind, everyone would be clean, but these people wouldn't let her get her wish.

In the past, Jiang Xuan didn't allow them to enter the inner room casually, which really made people find no serious reason to come.

Now it's different, Yuyuan finally has a housemother.

These days, everyone dressed up every day to come over to say hello to Lu Qingrong, standing in the hall one by one, but their eyes were all looking into the inner room. However, they all came over when Jiang Xuan went to the study to practice calligraphy in the morning, so naturally they all returned in vain.

Originally, Lu Qingrong didn't care, after all, he didn't have much to do recently, and it was not difficult to take a moment out every day to deal with them. It's just that every time those people enter the door, the fragrance that wafts in them chokes her enough.

"Do they have a lot of money a month?" Lu Qingrong remembered that those people's clothes were many times better than ordinary maids, and they were so greased and powdered every day, and the cost of picking was not small.

"I don't know about this, but until now, their monthly money is still received from Qinyi Yuan." Jiang Xuan paused for a moment, "I don't think it's too little, otherwise there wouldn't be one or two unwilling to go back." ”

Lu Qingrong suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for Jiang Xuan in his heart.

After all, Mrs. Wu has always been virtuous, and this kind of thing of stuffing so many young girls into the Yuyuan with a lot of monthly money, if it had been placed in the past, Lu Qingrong would not have believed that this was actually her handiwork.

What should I do with these people now? Lu Qingrong was a little undecided.

Since Jiang Xuan had just stated that she did not plan to accept the house, she wanted to ask his opinion at this moment.

Who knew that it was Jiang Xuan who opened his mouth first: "Don't send it all in one breath, in that case, ......" He thought that Lu Qingrong was a transparent person, so he didn't continue to speak, but said instead: "Didn't you bring a few dowry maids this time, just pick a few and release them first on the grounds that there are too many people." As for the candidates for marriage, it is okay to choose them in the Hou Mansion or among the people you marry. ”

Lu Qingrong nodded when he heard this, remembering that Jiang Xuan couldn't see her at all at this time, so he hurriedly responded: "Then I'll ask them my own opinion tomorrow, in case someone is willing to go out in the first place!" ”

"It's fine." Jiang Xuan said casually, "But don't rely on them too much, you still have to take the big idea yourself." ”

"Hmm." When Lu Qingrong heard him say this, his heart suddenly felt much lighter, and the big stone that had been pressing on the bottom of his heart was finally gone.

She suddenly felt a little grateful to Jiang Xuan in her heart, it was his frank and outspoken attitude tonight that gave her more hope for her future life.

Lu Qingrong didn't have any hopes before, but her incompatible outlook on love and family made her very lacking in self-confidence, so she closed her heart tightly and didn't want to try anything lightly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the heart that had been sealed for a long time suddenly had a strange beat, as if some kind of emotion was about to come out.

No one spoke in the inner chamber anymore, and the quietness of the pin drop did not make her feel embarrassed or cold, but rather unusually calm.

This is the first time that Lu Qingrong has had a sense of steadfastness since marrying into the Hou Mansion these days.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, I gradually fell asleep, and I had no dreams all night.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Xuanlei went to the study to practice calligraphy without moving, while Lu Qingrong pretended to stop, waiting for those maids to come and say goodbye.

Today she wore a smoky red plum pattern collared gown, a hibiscus-colored stand-up collar mid-collar and a skirt of the same color, her hair was pulled up casually, and she only wore a red gold dotted emerald hairpin, but her ears did not forget to fall on two white jade willow leaves.

As soon as those maids entered the door, they saw that Lu Qingrong was already sitting on the main seat of the hall, with casual makeup and a hint of leisure in his laziness. The early morning sun shone on her body, and it was like a halo, making it impossible to look at it directly. They didn't know how to describe the scene in front of them, they just felt like the people in the painting.

These days, when I come to ask for peace, I have to wait in the hall for a while before Mrs. Shizi comes out of the inner room.

How did they become a lady waiting for them today?

Everyone had some doubts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask more, and they all saluted Lu Qingrong and said goodbye.

I saw that Cailian and Caimei were still dressed in green today, and Yingying bowed.

Lu Qingrong found that the two of them stood at the front every time, half a step smaller than the others. It's not just the two of them who did it on purpose, it's the people behind who don't want to stand side by side with them.

Originally, she thought that the identities of these two people were different, but with a conversation with Jiang Xuan yesterday, she knew that this was not the case. At that time, when Jiang Xuan asked her to pick a few people to let them out, he didn't mention that anyone could be excluded.

Since Jiang Xuan had already given all the rights to himself yesterday, Lu Qingrong was very relaxed in front of everyone at this moment.

"I'm waiting for you here today because I have something I want to discuss with you." Lu Qingrong said slowly.

"Madame has something to do directly, how dare the slaves and maids say to discuss!" Begonia was the first to respond.

Cailian and Caimei on the side couldn't help frowning when they heard her words, as if they were very dissatisfied with her groveling tone.

The two stood at the front, and Lu Qingrong naturally looked at it sincerely, but he didn't pay attention to it.

"That's what happened." Lu Qingrong moved his gaze to Haitang, "You must also know that I got married this time, and I also brought a lot of people to accompany the marriage, in addition to the housekeeper mother, there are also a lot of maids." ”

Lu Qingrong paused when he said this, looking at everyone's expressions, he saw that except for Begonia's face was quite calm, everyone else's faces showed more or less surprised looks.

"In this way, there are too many people in Yuyuan." Lu Qingrong continued: "We are juniors, and it is not good for Yuyuan to cross Jingchun Hall and Qinyi Courtyard in terms of personnel, so we plan to let some people out." ”

At this time, the expressions on everyone's faces were no longer surprised, but became a little frightened.

"You don't have to worry. Even if it's a release, it doesn't mean that I just don't care about you. Whether it's in the outer courtyard or in the other courtyard of the Grange, they all need manpower, and they are all returned to the people of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion! ”

After listening to Lu Qingrong's explanation, everyone's expressions did not ease in the slightest.

"I came to discuss with you today, just to inform me in advance, you also go back and think about it, if there is anyone who is willing to go out, go to Luzhu and say, she will naturally report to me." After Lu Qingrong finished speaking, he quietly waited for everyone's reaction.

Most of the people were silent, only Cai Lian suddenly stepped forward: "Dare to ask Madame, is this what you mean, or what the prince means?" ”

"That's what I meant."

This sentence did not come from the mouth of Lu Qingrong in the house. RS
