Chapter 210: Pouring Oil
often rubbed rice in the Chengguo Mansion, and the Marquis of Yu and his wife did it above board.
Of course, the monthly expenditure of silver will not make the county lord of Zhaohua feel pain or can't afford to pay, so how can the county lord of Zhaohua be short of silver?
At that time, her dowry was very rich, and the Lu family had been inherited for more than a hundred years, and there were many private collections, and Emperor Shenwu had rewards in the market, and the most important thing was that Lu Jiang was the general who pacified the Eastern Liao and Nanling, and no one could say how much he benefited when the two countries were broken.
Anyone knows it's a lot of money.
With the family background of the Chengguo Mansion and the monthly income to support the Yuhou couple for a hundred years of luxury, it is enough to support the Yuhou couple for a hundred years, but how the county lord of Zhaohua wants to be aggrieved.
The son was repeatedly 'teased' by Lu Tianyang to fight, but the result was defeat in all aspects, and the county lord of Zhaohua, who had high hopes for Lu Lingfeng, felt that his face was beaten by Lu Tianyang.
Every time she saw Lu Tianyang's indifferent and natural appearance after victory, she was very congested, as if she had carefully cultivated a useless waste for more than 20 years.
It was tantamount to a deep slash in her heart.
After the meal, Lu Tianyang sat next to Mrs. Lu, with gorgeous clothes, jade crowns, and free and easy words and deeds, he couldn't be more perfect.
The entanglement with the Lu family of Chengguo Gong does not seem to exist, in front of Mrs. Lu, he is the most filial grandson, although he is cold to his mother-in-law, Zhaohua County Lord, but he is also very respectful.
Ah Jiu sat a little farther away with the Ying clan, and although his ears listened to the words of the Ying clan, his attention had already flown to the county lord of Zhaohua.
Eating and drinking in the Guogong Mansion was not what Ah Jiu wanted, and he was worried that Lu Tianyang would not be able to let go. Now...... This is simply Lu Tianyang's means of 'torturing' the county lord of Zhaohua, and by the way, he retaliates for his hard training in the barracks during the day.
It must be said that he succeeded.
Ah Jiu also saw the danger involved. It's really forcing the county lord of Zhaohua to be anxious, maybe he will fight each other.
In terms of troops and guards, Lu Tianyang is far inferior to the Chengguo couple who have been operating in the imperial capital for a long time.
Did the Chengguo Guild raise a dead hand to Lu Tian?
Accustomed to the tragedy of being famous and profitable, Ah Jiu doesn't believe in the saying that tiger poison doesn't eat children, not to mention that she doesn't feel good about Lu Jiang.
Even if Lu Jiang is very handsome and polite. is also kind to Ah Jiu, but she can never forget that Lu Jiang can kill the prince without principle.
Sometimes Ah Jiu has the illusion that Lu Jiang has an invisible shackle on his shoulder. His deep, divine eyes contained suffocating madness.
It's like Ah Jiu has seen a death row prisoner in his memory...... obviously killed countless people, but calmly said that he was right, and he deserved to die if he was sacrificed or killed.
The occasional flashing haze on Lu Tianyang's body, paranoia and ruthlessness Xu came from Lu Jiang.
Therefore, Ah Jiu pays special attention to Lu Tianyang's mentality. Neuropathy is inherited. Originally, Lu Tianyang's previous experience was not very healthy, and it was very easy to lead to mental illness, and then do many unimaginable things.
It has to be taken seriously.
Ah Jiu pressed the decision to have a good talk with King Qi, and it was precisely because of the hearty and gangsterous King Qi that Lu Tianyang was not completely crooked.
Lu Tianyang comprehensively suppressed Lu Lingfeng, and Ah Jiu was also happy, and also admired his 'versatility' and talent. But the smarter the person, the more damage is caused when they fall into a certain obsession.
"Fourth brother and daughter-in-law, did you listen to me?"
"The third sister-in-law is saying that the banquet is a good thing?"
Ah Jiu is indeed slipping away. But I'm sorry, she's better at using two things, especially after recovering the memories of her previous life, she can do it with three things.
Want to see her laugh? Win's is not qualified enough.
"In fact, if you want to compete for beauty and do it outstandingly, it is obviously not possible to take the ordinary road."
Ah Jiu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "It's good to be special." ”
Basically, the Xungui Mansion will hold banquets, I don't know when, idle and bored nobles use banquets to compete for the wind, and the Chengguo Mansion has always been the most high-profile one.
"My mother also said yesterday that I should listen more to my younger siblings." Ying shook the handkerchief, and the corner of his eye swept over Lu Tianyang, who was talking to Mrs. Tai, and the protection was really leaky.
When she said a few words here, Lu Tianyang's concerned gaze would often turn around.
Ying's heart is 10,000 unconvinced, since the county lord of Zhaohua planned to get Lu Tianyang back, Ying's has been living in dire straits, and her mother-in-law has watched her closely and managed her strictly.
It's not unbearable, the most unbearable thing for the Ying family is that every time he finally completes the task assigned by the county lord of Zhaohua, he doesn't get praise or not, and the county lord of Zhaohua still shows a little regret.
It's as if someone else is doing better than her.
After listening to the county lord of Zhaohua talk about Ah Jiu several times, Ying Shi realized that maybe the daughter-in-law of the county lord of Zhaohua was Ah Jiu.
She was supposed to be the proud daughter of the sky, but she was forcibly suppressed by the county lord of Zhaohua, and the crown princess who returned to the East Palace would only teach her patience, curry favor with the county lord of Zhaohua, and warn her not to play the prestige of the emperor's granddaughter.
The county lord of Zhaohua is higher than himself in terms of seniority and status, and the Ying clan endures it.
Kea Jiu...... Why do you force her?
"I've not been very good lately, so it's better for my younger brother and sister Zhang Luo to have this banquet, what do you think?"
Ying's wants Ah Jiu to understand that being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family is not a simple matter, Ah Jiu pushed everything to herself, she sold it everywhere, and made the person who really does things not the same.
"This ......"
Ah Jiu didn't expect the Ying clan to pick the child directly, she was not afraid that the county lord of Zhaohua would vomit blood if she did this? It is said that this is a good opportunity to meddle in the Chengguo Mansion, and he is so smart that he can even find out the family background of the Chengguo Prince.
And this qiē is precisely the 'territory' of the lord of Zhaohua, which does not allow anyone to act rashly.
"The third granddaughter-in-law is uncomfortable?" Mrs. Lu suddenly asked, "Can you ask for a doctor?" ”
The Ying family got married two or three years earlier than Ah Jiu, but until now she has not been pregnant, and the elders see that she is the daughter of the prince.
"Back to my grandmother's words, my granddaughter-in-law was just a little dizzy, and the doctor said that she couldn't work too hard after asking for a pulse."
"Since the Imperial Doctor has spoken, the matter of the banquet will be handed over to Ah Jiu."
Mrs. Lu was so kind that she summoned Ah Jiu to her side and looked her up and down with a smile. "I have heard that you help your mother take care of housework, and your mother, Mrs. Jiang, is also very capable, and the Jiang family style is very good. Under the words and deeds of his wife, if he wants to come to Ah Jiu, he can also have seven or eight points of her skills. ”
"County Lord."
Without waiting for Ah Jiu to object, Mrs. Lu seemed to be the master of Ah Jiu as a backer, and turned to the lord of Zhaohua County: "I think this banquet let Ah Jiu try it, let's take a rest, and let the juniors experience a thing or two, after all, they can't rely on us for a lifetime." ”
The county lord of Zhaohua is the one who has the most confidence in Ah Jiu. Even Lu Tianyang can't compare to her confidence in Ah Jiu.
It was precisely because of her confidence that she didn't dare to hand over this matter to Ah Jiu, and her son had already lost badly. At least no outsiders saw it, the competition of the nobles' banquets was watched by the entire imperial capital, and once Ah Jiu was in the limelight, it would be difficult to manage the affairs of the palace in the future.
It can't be completely handed over to Lu Lingfeng and his wife.
The county lord of Zhaohua barely suppressed the anger. "Ah Jiu is not bad. It's just too young, in case of a business trip, let others laugh at the Lu family. ”
"The county lord has been in charge for many years, the Lu family is already a famous family in the imperial capital, and the children and grandchildren are very competitive, even if Ah Jiu has occasional flaws in preparing the banquet, others dare not laugh at the Lu family."
Since Lu Tianyang returned to the sect, Mrs. Lu, who had never been very in charge of things, suddenly dared to compete with the county lord of Zhaohua.
Mrs. Lu spoke with a mocking pout. The face of the county lord of Zhaohua was even more ugly, and she had a faint feeling that the Lu family looked down on her background.
She couldn't figure it out. Emperor Shenwu favors the younger generations the most, the only daughter of the eldest princess, even if the royal family is not as reckless as the ancestors of the Lu family, but her surname is Mu, and the Mu family of Beiyan is not worse than the Lu family of Eastern Liao.
As everyone knows, it is precisely because of the arrogance of the family itself, the most important bloodline, that the children who violate the marriage tradition of the family are more despised.
King Kaishan married a female king should have been removed from the family a long time ago, if it weren't for the chaos in the world and the unification of the Western Qin Empire, King Kaishan would even be deprived of the qualification of the surname Mu.
In fact, Ah Jiu's background is not high, but he is 'innocent', and compared with the county lord of Zhaohua, Ah Jiu is easier to be accepted by Mrs. Lu.
"Mother's ......"
"I know the county lord is not at ease." Mrs. Lu thought to herself, the Lu family has made the county lord of Zhaohua choke enough laughs all these years, Ah Jiu is always better than the county lord of Zhaohua, "It's a big deal that the county lord helps Ah Jiu from the side, and the winning family ...... The county lord also has to put more effort into it, and the heirs are the big deal. ”
Lu Jiang said: "Mother." ”
"What? Am I not right? Mrs. Lu didn't save face for her son at all, "What does the dignified man always pay attention to in the back house?" Your daughter-in-law, Lord Zhaohua, will not even need your help in the trivial matters of the back house. ”
Lu Jiang was trained to the bottom, and his eyes that drifted towards the county lord of Zhaohua were full of apologies.
Mrs. Lu picked up the shelf of the elders, and no one dared to refute her for a while.
No matter how strong the county lord of Zhaohua is, he is only a daughter-in-law.
What's more, her pride does not allow her to ask Lu Jiang for help.
"Grandmother."
"You want to interject too?" Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Tianyang with some disappointment.
Lu Tianyang smiled faintly, "Ah Jiu is not incapable of holding a banquet, you forgot that I was named Marquis Yu, and the mansion also has to hold a banquet, and both sides are handed over to her, I am reluctant." ”
The meaning of maintenance is beyond words.
There was a burst of sourness and jealousy in Ying's heart, his appearance and talent Lu Tianyang were all better, especially the point of hurting his daughter-in-law, Lu Lingfeng couldn't catch up.
"The Yuhou Mansion and the Lu family have the same ancestry, so they can be put together."
Ying Shi stroked her hair and sideburns forward, and leaned forward, showing her bewitching and graceful figure to the fullest, although she was not as delicate as Ah Jiu, she was a few years older than Ah Jiu, and her figure was much more enchanting than Ah Jiu.
"The cost of the banquet is a lot, and the foundation of the Yuhou Mansion is thin, so if you can save it, you can save it." The Ying family is skeptical about Ah Jiu's ability to run the house, and if he has the ability, he will come to the Guogong Mansion almost every day to eat?
Just looking at the two of them, they are people who only know how to enjoy and don't know how to make money.
"When the four brothers and sisters got married, I was also present to watch the ceremony." A look of contempt flashed in Ying's eyes, "Brother and sister are very tight compared to their hands, Qingliu...... You have to endure the hardships. ”
Ah Jiu's dowry is indeed not rich enough, far less than Mo Xinlan's dowry when she got married, there have long been rumors in the imperial capital, although Mo Guanjie is cold to Princess Huai, but he gave most of his net worth to the original concubine.
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, most of the Mo family's property was left by the original spouse, and it belonged to the original couple's dowry.
Jiang's family, as a stepfamily, was greedy for Mo Xinlan's dowry, and the spitting stars could drown her, and the imperial history was watching at that time, ready to take this opportunity to impeach Jiang Shoufu.
It was precisely because of the huge disparity in the dowries of the two daughters that the imperial history did not find any evidence, and the Jiang family was talked about a few words.
"If Qingliu is having a hard time, doesn't it mean that His Majesty is mean and unkind and treats his courtiers badly?"
Ah Jiu smiled at Ying's family: "It's been more than three months since I got married, and there are still people who remember my dowry." I told my grandfather a long time ago that you shouldn't show your solitude or something. I also ask the third sister-in-law to keep it secret, if someone is concerned, I can't shirk it. ”
In Ah Jiu's dowry list, there are indeed not many gold, silver, jewelry and real estate, which are not as good as many people.
But the light of ancient books, poetry and painting, Ah Jiu killed many famous ladies in seconds.
Her dowry was purchased according to the lady of the family, and it was followed by ancient etiquette, and it was only when Ah Jiu got married that it was faintly rumored that the ancestors of the Jiang family were not simple.
Jiang Shoufu has prepared and treasured for many years, and all of them are given to his granddaughter.
"A few books ......"
"Alright."
Mrs. Lu drank the Win family, and sure enough, they were all a bunch of mud legs, and even if they became royals, they couldn't wash away the earthy smell on their bodies.
"Aren't you unhappy? That's a lot. ”
"Grandmother."
Remembering that the Ying family was the daughter of the crown prince, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "You go and rest first." ”
Ying bit his lip and took the maid's hand and left.
"The matter of the banquet will be left to Ah Jiu."
Then Mrs. Lu made a final decision, preempted the county lord of Zhaohua, and turned her head to educate Lu Tianyang, "It's okay for you to love your daughter-in-law, but don't spoil her too much, sooner or later Yu Houfu will stand up, let her practice first." ”
"You really hurt her." Lu Tianyang glanced at the county lord of Zhaohua, and said solemnly: "Take the Chengguo Mansion to practice?" ”
The county lord of Zhaohua flashed murderous intent in his eyes, and he hated Lu Tianyang even more.
Mrs. Lu squinted, "Just teach you a lesson, Jiang'er, I can't control your son, I can't bear to beat and scold, I will hand him over to you, be sure to train me to be a good grandson." ”
Lu Jiang was in a dilemma, "You take the study with me." ”
"Why don't you go yet?!" Mrs. Lu urged Lu Tianyang, "Listen to your father's words, he ...... It's been really hard these years, and he often gets drunk, but he still thinks about you. ”
Being pushed by Mrs. Lu, who was looking forward to their father and son abandoning their previous suspicions, Lu Tianyang realized that being close to Lu Jiang would make the county lord of Zhaohua even more uncomfortable, and said to Ah Jiu: "After talking to my father, I will take you back to the house." ”
Ah Jiu nodded, seeing that their father and son went out one after the other, almost the same height, body shape, and temperament, Ah Jiu was reluctant for them to get too close.
knew that Lu Tianyang was just the county lord of Qi Zhaohua.
"In the end, it's a father and son whose blood is thicker than water." Mrs. Lu sighed with relief, "Tianyang is like Jiang'er, and there will always be a day when misunderstandings will be resolved." ”
"I'll go see my daughter-in-law."
The county lord of Zhaohua got up and left angrily, Ah Jiu seemed to catch up with two steps, thinking about explaining, and approached the mirror on the table by catching up with two steps.
Mrs. Lu's strange smile disappeared quickly...... Ah Jiu frowned slightly in incomprehension, with the grudge between the county lord of Zhaohua and Lu Tianyang, does Mrs. Tai still need to add fuel to the fire? (To be continued......)
