Chapter 368: Adding a Box (2nd Update)
Lu Shuqing wanted to go very much, so she came to pull Lu Shuyi again: "Third sister, why don't we go and see Cousin Zhao'er?" ”
Lu Shuyi didn't want to go, but today was He Zhao'er's big day, and their peers were going to give gifts, and she also prepared a gift, which she would have to send sooner or later.
However, before she could say yes, the eldest lady and the second Mrs. He came to look for her.
Mrs. He smiled and told her that she needed her help.
She could guess what was going on with a little thought.
Today is He Zhao'er's big day, and what Second Mrs. He is most afraid of is that He Zhao'er's previous affairs in the Lu family will be spread.
However, the person who knows this matter best is Lu Shuyi.
Lu Shuyi knew it, she smiled and said hello to Wu, saying that she would help Mrs. He to run errands.
Wu was worried, but seeing that Lu Shuyi was calm, he didn't say anything more, but just told her to go early and return early.
Lu Shuyi followed the second wife and the eldest lady all the way to a secluded place under the corridor.
The eldest lady looked at the wind, and the second wife He said with a stern face: "Third girl, you have also seen it, so many people from our He family have come here today, and they are all here to watch the ceremony happily, but if the matter of Zhao'er girl in your Lu Mansion spreads, do you know the consequences?" ”
Lu Shuyi felt very helpless, she had promised the eldest lady and the second wife He that she would never spread the matter, but they still refused to believe her.
She shook her head helplessly, and said lightly: "I have already promised you once, but you still don't believe me." I'll promise you again, can you believe me? ”
Second Mrs. He looked at the indifferent expression on her face, swallowed the uneasiness in her heart for a long time, and nodded: "I'm also worried, after all, today is my daughter's wedding banquet, if something goes wrong, how will she behave in the future?" So don't be surprised by my words, and I hope you can understand the difficulties of a mother. ”
Lu Shuyi nodded, indicating that she could understand.
Second Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "Thank you for understanding me." Then I'll go and get busy first......" After turning around, he thought about it again, "There is one more thing." I heard that this time the eldest son of the Huo family got married, and the princess gave you a separate invitation, but is there such a thing? ”
Lu Shuyi frowned slightly, she didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. However, she still nodded generously: "This is indeed the case." ”
Mrs. He's eyes turned. Thoughtfully. Ban Xiang smiled and said: "This is a good thing, but others can't ask for it......"
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Lu Shuyi looked at the backs of the second wife He and the eldest lady leaving. She thought to herself, why did Mrs. He ask her about this?
Is it out of curiosity, or is there another purpose?
Because of the shadow of her previous life, she has always been wary of the He family.
Mo Ju came over and reminded her: "It's time to watch the ceremony soon, let's go back quickly, and we will go together to add boxes to Miss He Er......"
Lu Shuyi nodded, gathered her mind, and then followed Mo Ju to the flower hall.
Soon, Mrs. Lu took the daughter of the Lu family to add boxes to He Zhao'er.
When they entered, He Zhao'er was sitting at the dressing table in a daze, and the maid was putting on her makeup.
An extremely beautiful face in the bronze mirror, but the expression on the face was very cold, cold and cold to the skin.
There was no trace of joy in her face to be a bride, nor was there any shyness to be a bride, as if it was not her who was going to marry today, but someone else.
The bunch of maids in the house didn't dare to speak, and they served carefully one by one.
And Mrs. Zhao sat on one side, she was her aunt, but she was also He Zhao'er's veritable stepmother.
Although today is her stepdaughter's big day, she is still wearing the same plain clothes, and she barely uses a silver hairpin on her head, which looks really shabby.
The atmosphere in the room was very bad, and even Lu Shuqing, who was still excited, immediately bit her lower lip and closed her mouth, not daring to speak.
It can be seen that He Zhao'er doesn't want to marry at all, but she is in a certain situation, she has to marry, so she has the current situation.
Mrs. Zhao had seen Mrs. Lu before, and she got up with a smile for a while to salute, and the atmosphere was slightly better.
Mrs. He Er also followed, she coughed embarrassedly, and said to the old lady landing: "The child is still a little embarrassed, after all, he is still young...... If it weren't for He Ge's old media this time, I would really want to raise her for a few more years. ”
Mrs. Lu also knew it, so she only smiled and said: "It's good to marry in the past, and you will grow up if you marry in the past." ”
She took the lead in taking out the box, and in the brocade box was a set of jadeite jewelry, which was very delicate in workmanship and the jadeite was also very good.
When Mrs. Zhao saw that set of jade jewelry, her mouth opened slightly, and she seemed to be surprised.
And the Wu family, the third wife, and the fourth wife gave them a box of red gold jewelry, and there was nothing new.
However, it is much higher grade than on the box of worthless flowers given by Mrs. Zhao.
When it was the turn of the Lu family sisters, Mrs. Zhao deliberately set her eyes on Lu Shuyi.
Lu Shuyi wore a long-sleeved gown with autumn fragrance embroidered bird patterns today, covered with a blue Hangzhou silk spring shirt, a cobble-egg horse-faced skirt on the bottom, and her hair was combed with a stacked cloud bun of Xizi Huan yarn, with a jade hairpin on it, the whole face was like a peach blossom, the body was like a willow branch, and the temperament was like an orchid like jade.
She thought of the woman in the painting, who was luxurious and charming, but the woman in front of her was not ostentatious, but fresh and lovely.
She suddenly regretted it......
However, her son is already engaged, and it is time to marry in the month of La.
Her face sank, thinking of her future daughter-in-law, when they first met, she thought that the other party just liked simplicity, so she dressed very simple and casual, but after a long time, she found that the girl just didn't know how to dress herself at all, often red with green wear, and did not forget to tie a bright goose yellow belt around her waist, which was simply blind. It was originally quite expensive jewelry, but when it came to her head, it came out with the feeling of a village girl, cheap and worthless......
Because of this marriage, her son didn't know how many times he complained about her, saying that she had no vision, so he found a village girl for him.
And that appearance is less than one-tenth of Lu Shuyi's......
She pinched her fingers, and felt that she had really lost her eyes.
Lu Shuyi's demeanor was gentle and generous, and she handed over her own box, which was a set of blue and white tea sets with many sons and blessings in Ruyao.
Even the box sent is so elegant......
Mrs. Zhao was so heartbroken, and the expression on her face was also white and black, which was very ridiculous. (To be continued......)
