When Liu Lu followed up the inner room, she saw that Du Xiaomeng had already opened all the boxes she had married, and was working hard to turn one of them upside down.

"Madame, what are you looking for? Slave and maid help you find it. ”

"No, you don't! No! Du Xiaomeng shook her head quickly, "You don't know where my things are." ”

As she spoke, she turned another box into a mess. Liu Lu, who didn't know why, had to stand aside and watch her busy, and after watching her rummage through three boxes in a row, she finally found a jewelry box from the clothes she had turned into a pile. As if she had found a treasure, she held the jewelry box high and exclaimed, "Found it!" Got it! ”

Du Xiaomeng opened the jewelry box, Liu Lu poked his head over to take a look, and saw that there were a few pieces of jewelry in the box, which looked like ordinary goods, and none of them were valuable.

Du Xiaomeng took out a jade bracelet from the box. The color of the jade bracelet is very average, but compared to the other jewelry in the box, it should be the most valuable ornament. She carefully held the jade bracelet in her hand, touched it lightly a few times, then looked up at Liu Lu, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said softly: "Xiao Liu, Sister Qiusha's such a valuable golden step was given to me, if I only gave her one such bracelet, wouldn't it be too shabby?" ”

Liu Lu glanced at the thin-circled jade bracelet, compared with Jin Buyao, it really didn't look ordinary shabby. But she didn't reveal what she really thought in her heart, but replied with a smile: "How so? As long as it is given by Madame, Madame Tyusha will definitely like it. ”

"Really?" Du Xiaomeng blinked a pair of pure star eyes and looked at Liu Lu, "That's good!" This jade bracelet was left to me by my mother, and it is the most valuable thing of all my dowry. ”

As if she was afraid that Liu Lu would not believe it, she hurriedly added: "Don't look at my mother's family as a solid businessman's family, but my mother is not favored, and if there are any good things in the family, it will never be our mother and daughter's turn." After my mother died, I became a child who was not loved by my mother. My father's other wives and concubines did not treat me, and my brothers and sisters bullied me and excluded me. I often eat without a meal, and when I wear it, I can only wear old clothes that other sisters don't want. ”

Speaking of this, Du Xiaomeng looked down at the jewelry in the jewelry box, looked at the boxes that had been opened, and reached out to touch the new clothes in the box and the jewelry in the box as if cherishing, and then smiled contentedly and said: "If I hadn't married the general, I really wouldn't have had the opportunity to touch such beautiful new clothes, let alone have these beautiful ornaments." ”

Liu Lu is a kind-hearted person. The pitiful past experiences that Du Xiaomeng said easily aroused her sympathy. She looked at Du Xiaomeng with sympathetic eyes and said, "Madam, your life will definitely get better and better in the future." ”

Du Xiaomeng nodded vigorously, smiled innocently and said, "I don't ask for anything, as long as I can be fed and warm." ”

Madame really doesn't have any requirements for life! Thinking of the general's cold attitude towards her, Liu Lu's heart was even more sympathetic to Du Xiaomeng, who only wanted food and clothing.

Du Xiaomeng said again: "Xiaoliu, can you help me find a box to come back?" She smiled embarrassedly again, "I, I want a nice box, put the jade bracelet up and give it to Sister Qiusha." ”

Liu Lu agreed: "No problem!" Slave and maid go and do it immediately! With that, she walked briskly outside.

After Liu Lu walked out of the house, Du Xiaomeng covered the jewelry box and threw it into the box casually. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile that did not match her innocent face at all, the kind of smile that was undoubtedly the smile of the successful scheme.

In this unfamiliar place, in order to facilitate action in the future, it is necessary to develop a "one's own person" who can help him by his side. The easiest and most effective way to make a stranger willing to lend you a helping hand is to arouse their sympathy for you. Du Xiaomeng has successfully used her "miserable" background to deceive Liu Lu's sympathy, and she believes that it will not be long before Liu Lu can develop into a reliable right-hand man.

The day passed without danger and the evening came.

The second night Du Xiaomeng spent in the General's Mansion had earth-shaking changes compared to the first night. On the first night, she stayed alone in the cold room and didn't even have anything to eat; On the second night, she had someone to serve her, and she was full of food and drink before she went to sleep comfortably on the comfortable bed made by willow green.

After a dreamless night, Du Xiaomeng slept until dawn before waking up beautifully.

Liu Lu waited for her to dress up. It took at least half an hour for Liu Lu to gather her hair, and a complex bun that was layered on top of her head finally took shape.

Du Xiaomeng, who was sitting there and couldn't move, saw that Liu Lu hadn't finished it for so long, so he asked impatiently: "Xiaoliu, how long do you have to comb?" ”

Liu Lu replied, "Madam, this kind of bun has to coil up the hair layer by layer, and it can't be fast. ”

Du Xiaomeng said: "Then don't plate, just put your hair down." ”

Liu Lu reacted very loudly and said: "No, no, no!" Madame, you are already married, you can no longer put down your hair as you did when you were not married, you must coil it up! ”

Du Xiaomeng said angrily: "What must be?" I obviously saw that Sister Qiusha didn't have her hair up! ”

Liu Lu did not stop the movements in his hand, and said in a tone of lesson: "Madam! That's because Mrs. Qiusha is a Northern Barbarian, and the customs of the Northern Barbarian Country are very different from our Qiyang Country, and the Northern Barbarians do not remarry each other, as long as the two men and women are happy with each other, they can come together to live without the orders of their parents. They are rude and can't, and married women don't need to go to the law. Qiyang is a country of etiquette, how can we, as citizens of Qiyang, be compared with the Northern Barbarians who are not bound by etiquette? ”

Looking at Liu Lu's righteous and strict preaching, Du Xiaomeng didn't bother to refute her. She was already hungry, and she just slandered very dissatisfiedly in her heart: etiquette and etiquette can't be eaten!
