Chapter 42: Uncle is here
Three days after returning to the door.
Lu Qingrong had breakfast early and waited in his courtyard.
According to the agreement, today is the day when the uncle gives her a dowry.
Although the uncle is pedantic and overemphasizes integrity, he is generally a person who counts.
So she will definitely come today.
Sure enough, not long after breakfast, someone from the concierge came to report that Master Lu was here.
Lu Qingrong directly asked the concierge to lead the person to her courtyard.
Before today, she had already explained to Mrs. Zhao and the old lady, and the two of them also acquiesced in her approach.
Lu Qingrong sat steadily on the chair in the main hall, and immediately got up when he saw Lu Wenlin coming.
looked at Lu Wenlin with a smile, "Uncle, you're here!" ”
It's only been three days since I saw him, and Lu Wenlin's white hair seems to have a few more, and his face is also pale and scary, as if he has aged a lot overnight.
I don't know what happened to make him fall into this way before he gets old.
Lu Qingrong was inevitably a little stunned.
Lu Wenlin glanced at Lu Qingrong ashamedly, and knelt down straight under Lu Qingrong's gaze, "Rong'er, uncle is sorry for you." ”
"Uncle, what are you doing? Get up! Lu Qingrong stepped forward to pull Lu Wenlin.
However, no matter how hard Lu Qingrong tried, Lu Wenlin's legs seemed to grow on the ground, and he couldn't pull them no matter how he pulled them.
After a long time, Lu Qingrong also gave up, looking at Lu Wenlin kneeling on the ground, his face getting cold.
She knew that it was not so simple to get the dowry back, looking at the uncle's appearance, she was afraid that there was a problem with the dowry, and this problem was not small.
"What's the matter, you get up first."
Lu Wenlin looked at Lu Qingrong guiltily, "Rong'er, it's the uncle who is sorry for you, I always thought that you were doing well in the back house, but I didn't expect that you were not as good as the maids in the house over the years, these are all my faults, and it is my fault as an uncle." ”
Lu Wenlin hammered his heart, it didn't look like he was cheating.
Lu Qingrong looked at him, and the hatred for this uncle in his heart disappeared a little.
Although this uncle is pedantic and cares too much about his reputation for being incorruptible, he is not much bad to the original owner on the whole.
At least compared to Du Shi and Lu Qingya, it is much better.
She had heard Poria say before that Lu Qingya once asked for something like Lu Wenlin in her name, and Lu Wenlin never said a word.
From this point of view, Lu Wenlin is still very good to this niece.
was just deceived by Du Shi and Lu Qingya.
If you want to say that you are sorry for this niece, it is the matter of marrying her into this Xuanguo Mansion.
But this matter can't be completely said to be Lu Wenlin's fault, if it weren't for him, maybe she would have been killed by the person in the Lu Mansion who secretly wanted to kill her.
After marrying into the Xuanguo Mansion, her life was also very good, she did not suffer any anger, but her life was getting better and better.
From this point of view, Lu Qingrong is still grateful to Lu Wenlin.
But one yard is one yard, and she always wants to get back the things that Du Shi and Lu Qingya did.
You can't let two people occupy her dowry for so long in vain, and bully her!
"Uncle, if you have anything to do, you better get up first and then talk about it, if you let the maids see it, I'm afraid they will talk about me in private, does Uncle want me to have a bad name?"
Lu Wenlin looked at Lu Qingrong with a crying voice.
For the first time, he noticed that this niece was different, and it seemed that she was a completely different person.
Thinking of this, Lu Wenlin's old face turned a little red, to be honest, he hadn't seen this girl a few times over the years, and she didn't dare to speak when she didn't reply, and Du Shi said how good she was to her on weekdays, so he believed it, and didn't want her to live a life in the house where people were not people and ghosts were not ghosts.
Thinking of this, he felt sorry for the dead second brother and second brother and sister.
Although he adopted Rong'er with selfish intentions for the sake of fame, he also wanted to treat her sincerely.
At least before getting married, he wants to treat this niece well, so that if his niece marries well in the future, he will also remember that he is not an uncle.
I just didn't think of it, I didn't think of it......
Lu Wenlin sighed helplessly, and finally staggered to his feet.
If he brings Rong'er any bad reputation, it will be even more impossible to repair the relationship at that time.
Then his official position is also unexpected.
Although he stood up, he did not dare to sit down.
Lu Qingrong, who was watching it, had a headache, "Uncle, let's sit down first, let's talk about something slowly." ”
Lu Qingrong's words seemed to carry a reassuring force, Lu Wenlin was still struggling, but after hearing her words, he hesitated a little and sat down.
Poria prepared the tea early and brought it up.
Lu Qingrong asked Poria and the others to go outside to guard.
All at once everyone went out.
Lu Wenlin timidly glanced around, this Xuanguo Mansion is really a big family, and the decoration is very exquisite.
It's not a loss to the prosperous family!
It's just a pity, if there is no dowry, he may also be able to have a relationship with such a prosperous family, and then the official position can be moved.
"Uncle, please rest assured, Mama Gui and they were paid by me early, so no one will know about our conversation."
Lu Wenlin nodded again, after all, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, if you can not let people know, it is better not to let people know.
Thinking of this, Lu Wenlin's gaze lingered on Lu Qingrong's face for a few moments.
This niece is still thinking about the reputation of the Lu family, does it mean that she still has feelings for the Lu family.
After all, the dowry matter was done by Du's mother-in-law without him, and he didn't know it at all.
Rong'er is sensible and obedient, maybe as long as he pleads and says good things, he will forgive himself.
Maybe the official position can also be ......
The more Lu Wenlin thought about it, the more he deviated, and there was a little smile on his face, "Rong'er, the uncle really doesn't know about the things your aunt did, and he blames the uncle, he is busy with things in the court, and he neglects you, it's all the uncle's fault." ”
"Uncle, the affairs of the DPRK and China are indeed very busy, as an official, the most important thing is to be loyal to the country and do his best, Uncle is so dedicated, I am also happy."
"Uncle said that Rong'er is the most sensible and obedient, and you know the uncle the most."
Lu Qingrong's eyes skimmed over the smile on Lu Wenlin's face, and he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, but he also felt even more aggrieved for the original owner.
Lu Wenlin's adoption of the original owner was ultimately for his official position.
Now that something like this has happened, he feels guilty in his heart, but in the final analysis, he is more worried about his official position.
