Chapter 9 Disaster Relief
"Madam, I've already asked my subordinates to prepare, let's have a garden party in two days." Yuan Muqing, as the wife of the prime minister, should indeed entertain the family of hundreds of officials, but she has no experience in this area.
Lu Qingfeng saw the worry in her eyes, took her hand on the table, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I will accompany you." ”
Yuan Muqing gave him a grateful look, "By the way, I heard that Madame's floating begonia has recently bought a batch of gold-plated Buddha statues, and many people will buy them recently." ”
Yuan Muqing didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, and looked at him suspiciously, but the person opposite just gave her a mysterious smile in response, and didn't say much, Yuan Muqing didn't ask, anyway, he would know in two days, if he asked desperately, this cunning person would definitely not tell her.
"By the way, what do you do with the palace people given by the Queen Mother?"
Yuan Muqing remembered that the palace people given by the Queen Mother were not handled well at that time, so she directly threw them to Lu Qingfeng, and when those palace people came, Lu Qingfeng directly "assigned" them to the new mansion.
"I've already asked Ye Zi to deliver the news, and I'll find out who sent the message to the Queen Mother, and then make good use of it." Ye Zi didn't know when she obeyed Lu Qingfeng's orders so much, Yuan Muqing only heard what she thought was the point, Ye Zi, this little girl, really turned against her immediately.
And the Prime Minister's Mansion has been arranged by Yuan Muqing for a few days, and it is becoming more and more satisfactory, revealing the hostess's careful arrangement and arrangement everywhere. The subordinates of the Lu Mansion are also obedient to Yuan Muqing, in addition to Lu Qingfeng's entrustment is effective, and because Mama Bai is in charge to help her, no one dares to make trouble.
On that day, the weather was clear, everything in the house was cleaned up, just waiting for the "distinguished guests to come to the door".
Lu Qingfeng greeted the male guests in the courtyard, Yuan Muqing greeted his family in the backyard, in order to help him greet the guests, his mother-in-law also came to help, and his mother-in-law, a first-class lady, was guarded, Yuan Muqing sneaked out of the flower hall and happened to see Su Shuiyan.
Thinking of the last time they met, Yuan Muqing liked this smart girl very much. It's not as old-fashioned as the rest of the ladies, and it makes people feel the aura all over their bodies.
And Su Shuiyan's children raised in the boudoir usually only interact with the wives and relatives of some civil officials, and they know how cumbersome it is, and the civil officials are reborn, and the class is very heavy, every time they play together, Su Shuiyan does not show disgust, but she is also tied up and annoyed by it.
"Sister Yuan" Su Shuiyan saw Yuan Muqing walking towards her, and she also ran forward affectionately and held her hand.
"Sister doesn't mind, I'll call you that in the future." It's only the second time they met, Su Shuiyan is so lively, with a warm attitude, and a pair of eyes full of cuteness. Thinking about it, both of them lost their mothers early, and their temperaments are similar, they are both decent in front of people, but when they see the person they like, they have no rules.
"How can you mind, I don't know if you picked the right material last time, but in recent days, another batch of them has been sent to your house."
Sometimes the feeling between women is very strange, two people have similar interests, you can see at a glance, if you feel strange to each other, you will always get along awkwardly.
"Sister Yuan, I'm so tired of getting married, I'm ......" The two of them just wanted to say something considerate, when they heard someone calling from behind
"Sister-in-law, mother called you over"
Lu Qingping didn't know when he was standing behind the two, Su Shuiyan saw him shyly lowered his head, Yuan Muqing heard this, and was busy saying goodbye to Su Shuiyan, and when he turned around, he heard Lu Qingping say sullenly
"If you're tired, tell me, I can help you."
When Yuan Muqing heard this, he remembered that Lu Qingfeng was like this before he got married, and he was considerate of his hard work, and he blushed unconsciously.
Walking past the threshold of the flower hall, I heard my mother-in-law calling her, "Qing'er is here, let me introduce you to a few ladies." ”
Thinking that this is also what the prime minister's wife must do, she rarely participates in this kind of social activities, but she rarely knows people.
"This is Mrs. Wang, she is the wife of Lord Yushi, this is Mrs. Li,......" Most of the ladies greeted her one by one, and she also replied politely, only a few who did not know each other talked about old things.
"The young lady is really blessed, but the prime minister is brilliant, and the young lady may not be able to talk with the prime minister at night around the fire, and talk about wine." It was a woman standing behind Mrs. Fang Tingwei who spoke, and Yuan Muqing didn't know her.
"This is Fang Tingwei's daughter" The old lady said to help her daughter-in-law introduce, when Mrs. Fang led this daughter to visit almost every day, at that time she was eager to start a family for her son, and she also felt that if her son liked it, Mrs. Fang's daughter was okay, and now it seems that she wants to thank the Queen Mother for giving Lu Jiaqing'er such a well-behaved daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Lu's eyes are vicious, although she has not been with Yuan Muqing for a long time, she can also see that this daughter-in-law has a pure nature and outstanding appearance, the most important point is that this daughter-in-law does not have so many empty sweet words in her mouth, and she speaks sincerely.
"Miss Fang, I would like to hear the name."
"Manju"
"Sister Manzhu, this is a private matter between me and Xiangye, and we usually talk casually." Of course, Yuan Muqing heard Fang Manzhu's words and ridiculed her for being the daughter of a military general, she didn't understand etiquette, and she didn't want to argue with irrelevant people, so she wanted to avoid this topic.
"Miss Manzhu is talented, which family's son-in-law marries Miss Manzhu, which family's blessing" Mrs. Li praised casually, which can be regarded as easing the embarrassing atmosphere.
"Mrs. Xie Li loves her, the little girl only likes those who are outstanding, I heard that the prime minister is well-read and knowledgeable, and the little girl naturally worships." At this level, in Yuan Muqing's ears, I don't know whether to admire this young lady of the Fang family, or to say that she is shameless.
There was nothing to say in the hall for a while, Yuan Muqing was too lazy to respond to Fang Manzhu's arrogant words, and the ladies of each family also exchanged their heads and talked about their little gossip. There was a small chatter, and suddenly a familiar footstep was heard, and Yuan Muqing looked out of the hall inquiringly.
"Mother, Qing'er" Lu Qingfeng walked into the flower hall, walked straight to the two most important women in his eyes, and stood beside Yuan Muqing. Everyone greeted the prime minister in unison, but it was also a harmonious scene.
Fang Manzhu suddenly walked up to Yuan Muqing, and his intimate appearance was completely different from just now. "Sister, can Manzhu visit her sister in the future? I like Xiang Ye's articles very much, and there are some questions in the book that I want to discuss with Xiang Ye. ”
The women present were busy chatting about their parents, and only three of them knew what they were talking about.
Yuan Muqing hated this Fang family's pretentious attitude very much, and actually seduced her father-in-law in front of her, and dared to ask her if she agreed. She wondered in her heart, isn't Lu Qingfeng "notorious", how can there be these people who are not afraid of death and want to give it a try.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fang, I'm withdrawn and don't want to see guests."
"My sister is so good, my sister just wants to be in Xiangye's spare time, my sister doesn't know poetry and songs, and my sister can help Xiangye send one or two."
Lu Qingfeng listened to two sentences, and couldn't help but feel irritable, only to hear what this annoying woman said about sisters and sisters, he felt that it was a waste of time to let his little wife talk to strangers here, and he also wanted to take Qing'er to see something interesting.
"Miss Fang, the visit is exempt, we have no leisure for the two of us."
Lu Qingfeng said vaguely, what does it mean that the couple have no leisure, so that others may want to get into it. Yuan Muqing was frightened by his reply, blushed for a while, and let Lu Qingfeng pull him to the warehouse.
Fang Manzhu watched Prime Minister Lu pull up the daughter of the martial artist and leave, she screamed, and the two of them did not look back, for a while they felt ashamed and indignant, the woman with good things pointed and looked at her and smiled, she didn't believe that a martial artist's daughter could keep the prime minister's heart.
Yuan Muqing was pulled into the warehouse by Lu Qingfeng, the warehouse was guarded by Kuang Lu, watching Xiang Ye and his wife approach, Kuang Lu hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, and after explaining that the warehouse was guarded, he turned around and helped the two push the door and open one of the boxes.
Yuan Muqing looked at the scene in front of him, completely stunned, I don't know why, the next few boxes opened were all newly gilded Buddha statues of floating begonias, there could not be so many gold tools in the store on weekdays, but looking at the eyes without exception, the inconspicuous places were engraved with the word floating begonia.
"Xiangye, did you rob my shop?"
I have never heard that there is such a prime minister who eats soft rice, and he actually robbed the shop that his wife worked hard to run, is it possible that the inside and the outside should be together, and inform the store in advance that there are more golden Buddha statues, especially the golden body to send the son Guanyin?
Seeing that the little wife thought more and more, Lu Qingfeng hurriedly grabbed Yuan Muqing's hand, and Kuang Lu saw this and hurriedly retreated.
"Listen to the husband's explanation, today I asked Kuang Lu to inquire, what is the most expensive thing in your store, Kuang Lu came back to me, recently entered a batch of golden Buddha statues, I sent Ye Zi overnight, gathered enough 100 Buddha statues, and then spread the news, saying that you like Buddha statues, but I didn't expect these officials' families to pick and send Guanyin."
Yuan Muqing heard it clearly, but Lu Qingfeng had a good calculation, and the money made Fu Haitang earn enough, and finally the disaster relief money was donated in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they didn't pay a penny inside and out, but let her earn a lot of money.
"The previous wedding gift, I donated it in the name of the prime minister's wife, and I will donate it in your name at the banquet later, and you can use the money you earn from the floating begonias."
Hey? It seems that the final beneficiary is her Yuan Muqing, and when she thinks that she has a large amount of money at her disposal, Yuan Muqing is still happy in her heart, and looks at her husband with a smile.
Yuan Muqing knew that Lu Qingfeng wanted to compensate her, and the previous congratulatory gift relieved Lu Qingfeng's temporary needs, but he always felt indebted, so he took a lot of trouble to compensate her.
Lu Qingfeng didn't want his little wife to suffer a little loss, reputation and others, as long as it was the best, he wanted to give it to her.
