God knows how tormented Lu Qianying's heart is, but she can't let her mother lose face in front of so many people.

Fu Xiaojiu is really disgusted with everyone in the Lu family, but she also knows that Mrs. Lu is the wife of a fourth-grade official, and even if she gains face in front of the emperor, she is just a lady of a sixth-grade official, and it would not be suitable if she didn't give Mrs. Lu face.

After being pulled by Lu Qianying, Fu Xiaojiu stopped in his tracks.

Lu Qianying saw that Fu Xiaojiu really stopped, and hurriedly came to her and showed her a hypocritical smile.

"Fulangzhong, my mother has heard of your name a long time ago! She has been thinking about wanting to see you, a powerful girl, and today she finally invited you to come but there was such a misunderstanding, my mother must be unhappy in her heart, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about a minion. There are a few days left before my wedding day with Xiu Neng, and I would like you to help me refer to what kind of head to choose. ”

Although Lu Qianying is a jealous and arrogant character, she has been taught to be exquisite, and she knows very well that she tends to be inflammatory, which is what makes her special.

And she is very thick-skinned, no matter whether Fu Xiaojiu wants it or not, what others think, without Fu Xiaojiu's consent, she forcibly grabbed Fu Xiaojiu's arm and made a look like a good sister who was close to Fu Xiaojiu.

"Let's go, let's go, I have a crystal autumn pear cake that has just been made, it's delicious. Good sister, just help me take a look at the head, I believe in your vision! ”

Fu Xiaojiu was stunned by Lu Qianying's actions.

This Lu Qianying is much smarter than she imagined, and her rank is not comparable to Zhou Bingshuang and Tan Shiting.

Fu Xiaojiu's heart suddenly felt a chill, people like Lu Qianying are typical of hiding knives in smiles and needles in cotton.

Fu Xiaojiu was even more determined that except for Lu Qianying's wedding banquet, he would never have anything to do with her.

Lu Qianying came out and coaxed Fu Xiaojiu away, and Mrs. Lu's heart was relieved.

The troublesome maid had already fanned her cheeks red and swollen, but she still couldn't relieve Mrs. Lu's anger.

Mrs. Lu first instructed the family to lock her up in the firewood room and dispose of her after the banquet.

After such a fuss, Mrs. Lu didn't dare to treat the other ladies too differently, so she asked someone to call all the ladies in the second-floor courtyard to the third-floor courtyard and let them sit with the wives of officials above the sixth grade.

Zhou Bingshuang was also among the invited guests, and she was standing at the gate of the third-story courtyard just now looking at the excitement.

When she saw that Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianying both respected Fu Xiaojiu, and even were a little afraid, Zhou Bingshuang's eyes were full of jealousy.

"I must let my husband be promoted as soon as possible! Fu Xiaojiu, you wait for me, my father-in-law will definitely climb faster than Wan Lin, and you will have to salute me when you see me in the future! ”

Zhou Bingshuang is not delusional, she is now close to the Lu family, although she said that the fourth aunt of her power did not want to deal with her at all, but she still believed that relying on the big tree of the Lu family, plus An Yushu is a scheming person in the city, it is not difficult to make a name for herself in the officialdom.

Lu Qianying didn't change her face after taking Fu Xiaojiu to her boudoir, she still smiled at Fu Xiaojiu and was very affectionate.

"Fu Langzhong, no, can I call you Sister Xiaojiu?"

Lu Qianying has a pretty little face, and she is harmless to humans and animals when she laughs.

Fu Xiaojiu was almost confused by her smile, if it weren't for Fu Xiaojiu clearly knowing who she was, he might have forgiven her for what she had done before.

"Hehe, of course you can call me Sister Xiaojiu, Sister Qianying."

Who doesn't pretend to be stupid and sweet, Fu Xiaojiu smiled with crooked eyebrows, how gentle and gentle, how kind and benevolent.

"Great, Sister Xiaojiu, I will have another sister in the future."

Lu Qianying took Fu Xiaojiu's hand and sat side by side with her on the couch, her pretty smiling face like a blooming green camellia.

The smile on the corner of Fu Xiaojiu's mouth had not yet receded, and he asked, "Didn't you say that I would help you pick a face?" Where is the head? ”

Lu Qianying immediately instructed the maid: "Take my head and face." ”

The maids soon brought in a variety of gold, silver and jade heads for them to choose from on delicately carved wooden plates.

Fu Xiaojiu looked at so many exquisitely crafted heads, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: Lu Changzhi, you really don't miss a lot of money! If you want to buy these noodles, you won't have enough money for a year, right?

Fu Xiaojiu suddenly felt that he was not helping Lu Qianying choose the head, but going to the inventory site of the corrupt official's property.

Lu Qianying pulled Fu Xiaojiu and said, "Sister Xiaojiu, do you see that head mask is more suitable for me?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu pretended to look at it again, and without thinking about it, he pointed to a set of gold-inlaid jade, the most complex and gorgeous head with the most complex workmanship and said: "This set is the most suitable for you, the gold is noble, the jade is elegant, and the combination of the two is luxurious and festive." ”

Lu Qianying listened to Fu Xiaojiu's inconsistent "rainbow fart", and said without thinking: "Okay, then I will wear this set of masks when I get married." ”

The two of them chose their heads, and Lu Qianying introduced several of her close friends to Fu Xiaojiu, who greeted them one by one very distractedly, and chatted with them for a while before it was lunchtime.

Fu Xiaojiu was arranged by Mrs. Lu to be next to the wives of several officials above the third grade, which was a very noble position.

Fu Xiaojiu sat next to Lu Qianying, her face was calm as usual, Mrs. Lu saw that she was really "coaxed" by Lu Qianying, and secretly cast an appreciative look at her daughter.

Lu Qianying is not stupid, she knows that Fu Xiaojiu is just doing superficial work like her, but she thinks that Fu Xiaojiu is taking into account that their father-in-law is on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, so that the two father-in-law will not be embarrassed to get along, so she can get along with her on the surface.

In order to completely let Fu Xiaojiu stop worrying about her, Mrs. Lu deliberately put down her body and toasted Fu Xiaojiu with a glass of wine, and apologized to Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu made a generous appearance, not only accepted Mrs. Lu's apology, but also gave her a glass of wine in return, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was quite harmonious.

Fu Xiaojiu probably memorized all the ladies, so that if they met again in the future, at least they could have some impressions.

The banquet lasted for an hour before it ended, and Fu Xiaojiu's smirked face was about to stiffen.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianying had to use their own carriage to send her back, but Fu Xiaojiu said that she was going to the hospital to have a look, and walking there would be regarded as eating.

As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that Fu Xiaojiu had put away the medical hall, she immediately asked, "When does Fu Langzhong's medical hall plan to open?" We're all going to cheer you on. ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't want to see the hypocritical faces of Mrs. Lu and others on the good days when the hospital opened, and joked: "Mrs. Lu, I opened a medical hall not a noodle restaurant, what are you going to give me if you are not sick or sick?" But I would like to thank Mrs. Lu and all the ladies for their kindness. ”

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Although we don't need to go to the hospital if we are not sick or sick, it is still better to be lively on the day the hospital opens." We don't have to go over in person, and let us send you some firecrackers, flowers and plants, right? ”

Since Mrs. Lu said so, Fu Xiaojiu had no reason to refuse her anymore, so she responded with a smile: "Then thank Mrs. Lu and all the ladies." My clinic will be open in about three or five days, and I will send you invitations in advance. ”

Fu Xiaojiu still couldn't shirk Mrs. Lu's enthusiasm, so he was pushed into the carriage and went to the hospital in the carriage of the Lu Mansion.

After sending off all the guests, Lu Qianying turned around and complained to Mrs. Lu: "I said not to invite her to come, my mother said that she would invite her, so we have to give her a smile!" ”

Mrs. Lu said embarrassedly: "She is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor and the queen, and there is also the Zhenbei Wang family to support her as the master, and besides, her husband and Xiu Neng are still on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, how can my mother not invite her to come?" Don't you see that this banquet was held especially for her? ”

Lu Qianying pouted and said, "Of course I know my mother's thoughts." You know who she is this time, right? People like her are villains! It's disgusting to dare to shout in someone else's house just by relying on your face in front of the saint and the queen! ”

Mrs. Lu patted Lu Qianying's shoulder helplessly, "Alas, you don't have to think too much about having your father and mother to protect you before you leave the cabinet, but you are about to marry a wife, so you can't expect your mother's family to help you maintain everything, you must at least get along with Fu Xiaojiu on the surface like today, and you also have to get along with other wives." ”

Lu Qianying reluctantly responded: "I know, it's not difficult for me." It's a pity that Wan Lin got married too early, if he hasn't started a family after winning the champion, he can be my father-in-law. ”

Mrs. Lu immediately reminded her with a serious expression: "You are about to marry a woman, you must not have such thoughts about that Wanlin again." Daughter, you have to remember that your task now is to help you get promoted as soon as possible, and with a virtuous helper, he will be able to let go of Bo without worries. ”

Lu Qianying retorted unconvinced: "But my mother is so virtuous, why is my father still a four-grade waiter after so many years?" ”

Mrs. Lu hated iron and said with no steel: "You girl is really ignorant. Don't you know how big your father's official position is? How many people ask him to do things every day? Otherwise, can those shops have our dividends? Your father wanted to deliberately stay in this position and not be promoted while he could still do it. But your father is old, he should also climb up, even if there is no oil and water position, it is good to say it when the official is older. ”

Lu Qianying understood her father's "good intentions" at this time, and immediately said: "Mother, my daughter understands!" Mother, don't worry, I will definitely help Xiu Neng well, so that he can be promoted earlier than Wan Lin. ”

Seeing that Lu Qianying finally opened her mind, Mrs. Lu said with relief: "This is the good daughter taught by my mother!" ”

After Fu Xiaojiu arrived at the medical hall, she found that the progress was faster than she imagined, the partition and various cabinets and furniture were almost completed, and the paint could be dried tomorrow morning tonight, she only needed to make up for the missing medicinal materials, and the medical hall would be open the day after tomorrow.
