055. Rice grains or pearls
It turned out to be a princess!
Lu Youzhen continued: "She is the daughter of Prince Lu, Prince Lu is the sibling brother of the first emperor, when she married my father, the first emperor also deliberately promoted her rank, and the original lord of Zhanghua became the Ningguo Mansion that Princess Zhanghua married into. β
Her mother-in-law turned out to be a princess. Su Xi still feels a little blind, and she finds that the gap between herself and Lu You is really getting bigger and bigger.
Su Xi smacked his lips and asked, "What does this have to do with whether the eldest brother marries a wife or not?" β
"Of course it matters," Lu Youzhen said with Su Xi's white and tender little hands: "Our group was forced to move to Sifang City for some reasons, although Sifang City is a good place for outstanding individuals, it is not as good as the capital after all."
"With the dignity of my mother, I am afraid that few noble girls in the capital can enter her eyes, not to mention the small Sifang City, this delay has not been delayed until now."
"Then why didn't my mother go to the capital to look for it? I heard that the eldest sister seems to be married to the capital. Su Xi asked again.
"The eldest sister is a girl, and the princess's daughter naturally doesn't have to worry about getting married, besides, the eldest sister is married to Prince Lu's grandson and mother's nephew, but the eldest brother is differentββ"
Lu Youzhen sighed, "-My father has no official and no title, and my mother's princess title cannot be hereditary, it can be said that the Lu family is just an empty name now, who is willing to marry an excellent noble girl in Beijing, and the inferior mother can't look down on it at all." β
Su Xi knows, whoever has seen more fairies for nine days, will they still think that ordinary women are beautiful? But where are fairies available to everyone?
However, in such a comparison, Su Xi suddenly felt that Lu Youzhen was a little pitiful, and she said sympathetically to Lu Youzhen: "Lu Youzhen, I didn't expect to grow up in such an environment, but don't worry, in the future, the eldest brother will have his mother's pain, and you will have my heart." β
Lu Youzhen couldn't cry or laugh, why did he become a poor person when he said it?
Su Xi explained: "You see that your mother is heartbroken for your eldest brother's family affairs, lest he be wronged at all, but what about you? I just chose a crazy girl like me in the countryside. β
Like, there's a bit of truth to it, isn't it?
However, Lu Youzhen still stood over her body and said seriously: "Although you are a crazy girl, you are not chosen randomly, I found you out of the sea of people little by little." β
Su Xi's face was red, but her heart was so happy that she flew up, she threw herself into Lu Youzhen's arms and asked him, "Really?" So how did you get me out little by little? β
Lu Youzhen's face flushed slightly, and he said nonsense: "It's like picking pearls in rice grains, looking for them one by one, and finally asked me to find your pearl." β
"What if you find a grain of rice instead of a pearl?"
"Looked for it again?" Lu You really wanted to tease her, but sure enough, when she saw that her eyebrows were raised, she came out of his arms with a "rub", pointed to his nose and said, "You dare!" β
Lu Youzhen snickered in his heart, but his hand quickly pulled Su Xi back into his arms and smoothed Mao: "Naturally, it won't work, I will give you all my belongings, and I will have to rely on you, a little rich woman, to raise it in the future." β
Speaking of Lu Youzhen's belongings, Su Xi opened the house when he returned that day, and the thick stack of paper turned out to be all land deeds, including land, shops, and real estate.
Some of these industries are all under the name of Su Xi, and some of them are shared with Jiang Wumeng, and one of them is the share division contract of Xunxianglou.
Last time, Su Wenhan disappeared in Xunxianglou, so Su Xi also knew about such a place as Xunxianglou.
"I didn't have a chance to ask you some time ago, what's the matter with the box you gave me?" Su Xi asked when he remembered it.
"Didn't you say that? That's my dowry for you. β
"Who gave so much money as a dowry?" Since these industries are distributed all over the place, Su Xi has not seen the account book, so it is difficult to assess, but after a rough calculation, it may not be less than the industry of the Su family's big house.
"What does it matter? Will you still not support me? β
Also, how could she not raise Lu Youzhen?
"What's going on with Xunxianglou? You even run a brothel? Did the incident with my second brother have anything to do with you last time? β
Lu Youzhen hurriedly shook his head and explained: "That was all done by Jiang Wumeng, most of the industries that were split with him were made by him, and I only invested money."
"Your second brother was indeed arrested by him that time, but because they didn't know each other, there was some misunderstanding, I heard that it was in Xunxianglou and went to look for him, he knew that it was your second brother and immediately asked me to bring people back."
Su Xi pursed his lips and accepted the explanation.
Then I heard Lu Youzhen say: "When my mother entered the Ningguo Mansion, because she was a concubine, my uncle was not as beautiful as it is now, so my mother did not have any dowry with her.
"After my uncle won the emperor's trust, he gave me some property, and I took it to do some business with Jiang Wumeng, and I saved so much over the years, but my father and mother didn't know."
"Won't they let you do business?" Su Xi has seen many people who claim to be high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it is not shameful to ask the Su family for bribes behind their backs, but they can ask them to do business by themselves, but they look like "how can they do these ninth-rate trades", which is disgusting.
"No, there are many heirs in the family, where is my father's little thing enough, so he doesn't hinder our own development, it's just that he doesn't like me to interact with the Fu family very much, and he either smashes or burns everything given by the Fu family, and never lets me stay."
Su Xi suddenly realized, and immediately pierced Lu Youzhen's careful thoughts: "I see, if you give them to me, I will definitely bring them to Lu Mansion, and then I can justifiably say that it is my dowry, right?" β
Lu You really coughed embarrassedly, and when he saw that Su Xi was unrelenting, he pleaded pitifully: "Su Xi, good Xi'er, I have this idea, but I really want to give it to you, for my sake, don't be angry, okay?" β
"Hmph, I won't give it back to you."
"It's yours to give it to you."
Lu Youzhen replied quickly, in fact, he really didn't think about taking it back, if he didn't really want to give it to Su Xi, he could hide behind the scenes like in the past, anyway, if there was something that had to come forward and hand it over to Jiang Wumeng.
Su Xi felt much more comfortable, and after being tired of being in the study with Lu Youzhen for a while, she heard Mama Yu knocking on the door outside and saying that dinner was ready.
Only then did the two realize that it was already dark outside, Su Xi stuck out his tongue, and pulled Lu Youzhen back to Momei Courtyard.
After dinner, Lu Youzhen took Su Xi to his small warehouse to choose a gift to give when he returned to the door tomorrow.
Lu Youzhen's small treasury originally didn't have a few treasures, but it couldn't stand the repeated rewards of the emperor and queen Concubine Zhen yesterday, but now it is full.
There are many things that cannot be sold or sent, and the two of them have been picking and choosing for a long time before they can find some suitable ones.
Originally, Lu You had really prepared a copy a long time ago, but no matter how valuable the treasures he prepared were, they were not as valuable as a royal gift in the eyes of the people around him, so he temporarily decided to bring Su Xi to re-choose.
It's late at night when the gift is chosen, and the two are naturally grinding again, they have to work hard to give birth to twins.
