Sanshun was driven out in frustration, and he was even more indignant in his heart, but he was helpless.

Who let his master be a concubine, and went against the old lady's wishes many times, and was later forcibly separated, so as not to embarrass the entire Xicheng Lu family, and is destined to have no son in this life, only the eldest lady has a daughter, and his wife's dowry is gone, and now it is just relying on the help of the aunts and wives of the mother's family.

Now that Master Lu is a high-ranking official, and his aunts and grandmothers are all high-married, it is normal for people to look down on the current Lu Mingxuan.

It's just that Sanshun is still very sad, their eldest lady finally came back, but she was not treated at all, and she didn't know how sad her lord and wife were.

Old man Mo took Mrs. Ding to the largest and cheapest market, which is the place where people from major families come most often, in the past, Old Man Mo was a person, alone, and bought cheap dishes, everyone who knew Old Man Mo knew that Old Man Mo was the servant of the crazy Lu Wuye's family in Xicheng Road.

But today, Old Man Mo actually brought a very decently dressed mother-in-law, and the most important thing is the jade bracelet that this mother-in-law wears, even many noble ladies can't afford it, and in the purse around his waist, he took out all the golden beans, and the ingredients he bought were all the top, and he also bought a lot of valuable medicinal materials, which made many mothers-in-law who liked gossip talk about it.

Old man Mo looked at Mrs. Ding's posture of buying things, and secretly smacked his tongue, no wonder this Ding's mother wants to come out to buy things by herself, if he is allowed to buy them, I am afraid that none of the things that the eldest lady likes to eat.

However, Old Man Mo was even happier, his eldest lady's personal mother-in-law was so arrogant, which showed that his eldest lady must have had a good life over the years.

The peddler, who had a little friendship with Old Man Mo, asked again and again: "Uncle Mo, what is the happy event in your family, that mother is really generous." ”

Old man Mo raised his head happily and said loudly: "My eldest lady is back, this is Ding's mother, my eldest lady's personal mother, specially came to pick the dishes that my eldest lady likes to eat, I, I brought Ding's mother here to buy things, who makes the things here so many and fresh." ”

Some young slaves didn't know that there was still a young lady in the fifth old man's house on this road, so they asked the people around them.

"Who is the eldest lady of this old man Mo's family?"

"Is it the one who got lost?"

"Who is it, why haven't we heard of it?"

"The young lady of the fifth master's family on this road is a taboo."

"What, why is it taboo?"

"If she is too smart and suppresses other people's scenery, even if she loses it, no one wants to mention her."

"Oh, I remember, isn't it the young lady who carried half of the study at the age of two, didn't you say that she was adopted? Why did you come back to find the fifth master? ”

“。。。。。”

Old man Mo didn't know that he said that Lu Manman came back, and it spread among the servants of various provinces, if it was just an ordinary young lady who was lost and came back, it would not cause such a big sensation, who let Lu Manman lose it at that time, the reputation was so great that it overwhelmed all the daughters, and even Princess Xiaguang, who had a good reputation, was pressed to be dull and colorless, and was named the lord of Lingxi County by the emperor, so it was destined that Lu Manman's return was a boom.

When Mrs. Ding heard these discussions, Lu Manman's life experience, and only then did she know why Lu Manman didn't remember the names of his biological parents, so he would endorse it when he was young, and he was pitied and bought by Brother Leopard.

Especially when she knew that Lu Manman was too smart and suppressed the daughters in the capital and had no chance to turn over, Mrs. Ding squinted, and finally knew why Lu Manman, who was only a little more than two years old, would be lost from the protection of so many slaves, I am afraid that countless people hope that Lu Manman will disappear.

It's no wonder that the fifth master and Mrs. Lu are so self-blaming, looking for a long way in such a decisive way, not hesitating to be forcibly separated, and not giving up, the guilt of not being able to protect their daughter occupies most of the reasons.

Mrs. Ding secretly remembered in her heart that if she knew who had calculated their longevity, she would have to make those people worse than dead, and the long road was brought up by her and several other mothers-in-law, which was their lifeline.

The two bought the vegetables and soon returned to Lu's house, and of course Mrs. Ding cooked for Lu Manman.

Wen finally woke up, but Lu Manman had already been by Wen's bedside, after Lu Manman took Wen's pulse, he knew that Wen's body had just been depleted a lot over the years, and he had already written down the prescription and asked Yu Pozi to buy it, ready to make pills for Wen's later.

"Child, you really came back, my mother thought it was a dream, for fear that she would wake up and she wouldn't be able to find you." Wen cried very sadly.

"Mother, your daughter has been doing well all these years, and you and your father have suffered." Lu Manman was also very uncomfortable to see Wen crying so sadly.

"We're not bitter, we just miss you."

"My daughter knows, don't cry, my daughter is back."

"It's all my mother who is not good, I have no ability, I can't protect you, let you be passed out, and I lost these years, and then I have been in poor health, I can't go to you in person, but your father, looking for you everywhere all these years, we are all incapable people, and now you are back, but your father and I have spent all the dowry prepared for you back then, and I will let you live a hard life with us in the future, and my mother is sorry for you." Thinking of the days when the family no longer has much savings, and can only rely on a few sisters to help, and can't call slaves and maids for their daughters, Wen is very sad.

"Mother, don't say that, if it weren't for me, the savings in your hand are enough to live this life with your father in peace and dignity, how can my daughter blame you."

Women are always emotional, Lu Mingxuan cares about whether Lu Manman is good all these years, while Wen is worried about her daughter's next life, and blames herself for not being able to give Lu Manman a good enough life.

Mrs. Ding quickly cooked the meal, and the family was finally able to eat a neat meal.

At the dinner table, Wen and Lu Mingxuan both insisted on letting Mrs. Ding and Black Eagle sit together, and the final result was that everyone ate around the big table together, ignoring the distinction between master and servant, Lu Mingxuan picked up the teacup and said very movingly: "I replace wine with tea, first of all, thank you to Mother Ding and Brother Black Eagle, thank you for taking care of Manman over the years, and thank you to Mother Yu, Old Man Mo, Sanshun, Grape, and Mother Cai, Dongzi, thank you for following me and Mrs. over the years and accompanying us through this most difficult day, Now that our daughter is back, the days will definitely get better and better, so I'll do it first. ”

"Master, woo woo" Sanshun was the first to cry, he was Lu Mingxuan's scholar, grew up together, a few years ago, Sanshun followed Lu Mingxuan to find a long way to find the road from south to north, how much suffering he suffered in the middle, he knows best, that is, in recent years, the family has become more and more sluggish, Sanshun, as the only literate servant in this family, had to support the logistics of this family, so he began not to follow to find someone.

The rest of the people also cried profusely, some were happy, some were wronged, and all the hardships of these years were all crying.

Even the murderous Black Eagle was moved, not to mention Mrs. Ding, a woman who regarded the long road as her own child.

"Okay, don't cry, let's have a good time in the future." Wen also spoke, his daughter was found, Wen's whole spirit was much better, and he found the cool temperament of the merchant's daughter.

Everyone at this meal was happy.

Wen's left the best room to Lu Manman, these years, even if Lu Manman didn't come back, Wen's kept this long boudoir, and made a few boxes full of clothes for Lu Manman, and when Lu Manman opened it, he saw that it contained the clothes he had grown up with, although he couldn't wear them anymore, but Lu Manman still hugged these clothes and cried happily.

The news of Lu Manman's return soon spread among the slaves in the capital, and then those masters also began to know, of course, many people were disdainful, they may have been afraid before, where there is a long road, there is no place for their daughters, but now, no matter how smart Lu Manman is, just by virtue of the fact that she grew up outside, she will always be a head short of these real nobles, and she will never become a top noblewoman.

Some people are disgusted with Lu Manman, of course, there are people who like Lu Manman, a very easy to use chess piece, such as Queen Yuan, when she knew that Lu Manman was back, she said to her henchman Mama Chen: "This little girl of the Lu family was also the lord of Lingxi County who was personally sealed by the emperor back then, and her identity is also precious, even if she can't become a top noblewoman, but it is more than enough to suppress the little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, lest she think that she is the most valuable among these noble girls with titles." ”

Mama Chen replied with a smile: "What Niangniang said is that the emperor said that the girl of the Lu family is of course still valuable, but I'm afraid that many people can't see her well, and it still depends on Niangniang to promote her more, and it is her blessing to be able to use it for Niangniang." ”

"In a few days, it will be my aunt's chrysanthemum banquet, you ask your aunt to send a post to this Lingxi county lord, we also have to make this Lingxi county lord right, so that we are qualified to fight with Xiaguang's girl."

Since Empress Yuan has opened her mouth to shout that Lu Man is the county lord of Lingxi, then Lu Manman is the county lord of Lingxi.

Soon the magnates in the capital knew that Empress Yuan, as an example of all courtiers and nobles, since she was a Lingxi county lord, no matter how bad her identity was, no matter how bad her identity was, she was still the lord of Lingxi County, even higher than the daughter of an authentic prince like Xuanyuan Yan'er from her aunt, because although Xuanyuan Yan'er was also the county lord, she did not have a title.

Lu Man's return, of course, attracted the attention of the Dragon Guard, as the young general of the Dragon Guard, the son-in-law of the Duanwang Shizi, Xuanyuan Mingyue knew for the first time that the man-eating flower that pitted them, it turned out to be the cute little girl back then, Xuanyuan Mingyue had seen the cute appearance of Lu Manman's endorsement.

I didn't expect that such a promising noble girl would end up in a place like Tieji Mountain and grow up in the hands of a group of river and ocean thieves, no wonder she would become a famous cannibal flower.

But the entanglement also followed, everyone can see that the queen is deliberately carrying the identity of Lu Manman, that is, she wants to fight against Princess Xiaguang of Qi Guifei, even if Lu Manman is the girl of the Lu family, the county lord of Lingxi, but he still can't change the collusion between Lu Manman and those Jiangyang thieves, if he says Lu Manman's identity, even if he offends the queen, he may be considered by the queen and the Yuan family to be the Qi family and Qi Guifei, and when the time comes, whether it is him or Duanwangfu, I am afraid they will be forced to fall into the battle for the heir.

In the end, Xuanyuan Mingyue still decided to hide Lu Manman's identity, but he would keep an eye on Lu Manman, once Lu Manman did anything that violated the laws of the imperial court, he would definitely get rid of Lu Manman with his own hands.

Xuanyuan Mingyue's heart is still unwilling to expose Lu Manman's identity, but thinking of the things that Lu Manman tossed, Xuanyuan Mingyue really felt that her head was big, and as soon as she came to the capital, she hit the eldest princess of Qingyang, robbed someone's mansion, and now it is used by the queen to bar Princess Xiaguang, and I don't know how many people will suffer at that time.

Xuanyuan Mingyue had no choice but to order a few dragon heads who knew Lu Manman, to strictly guard against it, not to let Lu Manman make trouble, and not to expose Lu Manman's identity as a man-eating flower, lest Lu Manman's fish die and the net will be broken, and the people of Tieji Mountain will protect the short, and they will fight hard, and the loss will be too great.

Long Yi and the others also knew that they had not exposed Lu Manman's identity before, and if they came to expose it now, they would have lost the opportunity, and they would offend the queen, and it would be difficult to ride a tiger, so they could only pinch their noses and acquiesce to Xuanyuan Mingyue's decision.

Lu Manman was immersed in the love of his parents, and he received a post sent by the steward of the Yuan family.

"Three days later, it will be the chrysanthemum banquet held by my wife, and the lord of Lingxi County will be invited to come."

"Okay, thank you for the invitation." Lu Manman, who didn't want to integrate into these elites, saw that his parents had been blaming themselves for not being able to give themselves a good identity and status, and Lu Manman had no choice but to take the post that made Lu Manman re-enter the circle of top elites as the county lord of Lingxi, at least so that they didn't have to worry that she would be inferior for the rest of her life because of the stain she had lost.

Although Lu Mingxuan blamed himself for not being able to give Lu Manman good conditions, it didn't mean that he was willing to watch Lu Manman step into that involuntary circle again, those complicated aristocratic etiquette, as well as complicated interpersonal relationships, and most importantly, in terms of etiquette, Lu Manman was not their daughter, but the daughter of the third lady of the Lu family.

"Manman, Dad is very worried that you will be hurt, those people were jealous of you back then, and planned to make you lose it, and now you have just come back, and you have come to the door, Daddy is very worried about you."

"Daddy, do you remember how easily I knocked over the big worm when I rescued you? And Xiaoying and Ding's mother will protect me, and there are only a handful of people in the imperial city who can defeat the two of them. ”

Lu Mingxuan remembered her daughter's ability, and her uneasy heart finally let go, but she was still very anxious to go to her sister-in-law, and asked her grandmother to teach Lu Manman's noble daughter etiquette, but Lu Manman refused: "I learned from the grandmother who came out of the palace when I was a child, and I will know the etiquette of the Three Kingdoms, Dad, don't worry so much." ”

Wen turned out the cloth he had collected for a long time, and planned to make a beautiful dress for Lu Manman, for fear that Lu Manman would be embarrassed.

"By the way, Dad, the Lu family's third room has removed me." Lu Manman suddenly remembered to ask about this matter, if they hadn't removed themselves, they would still have to call Lu Sanye Dad, who had let their name have been recorded in Lu Sanye's name.

When Wen Shi heard this, her face turned white, and she almost forgot that she was not the nominal mother of Lu Manman.

"No, it was Qi Guifei who asked the third lady to take you to the Star Tower, so she lost you, although the third lady was angry and was punished for being grounded in the Buddhist hall, but the Lu family still relied on what you lost, and got a lot of benefits from the other families who participated in your loss, but the third lady was pitiful, for so many years, she has been locked up in the Buddhist hall, and the seventh young master Lu Yongxing and the ninth young master Lu Yongguang have also suffered a lot of grievances."

"In other words, they may hate me, after all, because of me, they have a good husband and daughter-in-law, and the housewife and son-in-law have been implicated, hey, it's really a headache, and there are really a lot of people to guard against."

Wen Shi was a little distressed when he heard Lu Chang's words: "Otherwise, let's not go, I'll pretend to be sick, and you will say that you are sick at home." ”

Lu Mingxuan said unhappily at the Wen family: "What nonsense, you are now a nominal aunt of Manman, what kind of illness do you serve, don't make up your mind, since some things can't be avoided, you can only accept them head-on, I went to the house to beg my father, and asked him to come forward and let the people over there protect you, after all, you are prosperous, and the identity of the county lord of Manmanling Lingxi is still somewhat useful." ”

Originally, Lu Manman could refuse, but she was unwilling to touch the protection that Lu Mingxuan gave her, although Lu Manman did not need such protection, but Lu Manman hoped to alleviate a little of Lu Mingxuan's frustration that Lu Mingxuan had always felt guilty and felt that she could not protect Lu Manman.

In the end, Wen's mouth shut up, and then he planned to do his best to dress up Lu Manman beautifully, but Wen's felt that the cloth was not gorgeous enough, and finally decided to go to the Wen family's silk village to ask for a piece of cloth.

The road is long, so Black Eagle found the details of these magnates in the capital, and checked it in the room to prepare.

The Wen family took Yu Pozi to the most prosperous street in Dongcheng, where the Wen family's most exquisite silk village was located.

The shopkeeper of Wenda is still firmly sitting in the position of the shopkeeper, and he is clear about the wind and grass in the capital, so when he saw Wen's door, he was clear in his heart, and now Wen's door must be related to her daughter who came back.

This aunt and grandmother have been immersed in the decadence of losing their daughter, but their Wen family still has to do business, especially those nobles who clearly express that they don't like the frequent appearance of the name Lu Man, they can only back down and no longer ask about anything about the Wen family, just hinting that the aunts and grandmothers who have nothing to do with the Wen family can help one or two.

This can't be blamed on the snobbery of the Wen family, after all, there are too many people to feed the Wen family, and they can't afford to toss.

"Big shopkeeper, long time no see."

"Aunt Jiu, it's been a long time."

"My daughter is going to attend the chrysanthemum banquet in a few days, and the colors of the cloths I treasure are not bright enough to be worn by little girls.

The shopkeeper sighed, and still said, "Aunt Jiu, a new batch of goods has arrived, you can take a look first." ”

When Wen was just about to go in and see it, several noble ladies appeared behind him, and she spoke directly: "Yo, this is the aunt of the county lord of Lingxi, come here to prepare clothes for the county lord of Lingxi to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet?" Didn't you say that the county lord of Lingxi was a famous talented woman? Isn't a talented girl her own bearing? Need to make clothes? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and beckoned: "Mrs. Wang, what kind of wind is blowing for you, what fabric do you need, say it, and immediately send someone to the mansion for you to choose." ”

Mrs. Wang is Princess Cheng's sister-in-law, because Princess Cheng and Concubine Lu are rivals, so the Wang family, one of the eight great families, is very disgusted with the Lu family of Concubine Lu, and the appearance of Lu Long has also suppressed the limelight of her daughter, so when she saw the Wen family, she was so sneering.

The rest of the people were all vassals of the Wang family, so they also sarcastically said: "Didn't you say that the county lord of Lingxi is the daughter of the third master of Lu?" This aunt wants to make clothes for the county lord of Lingxi, does she know that the third lady of the road is in the Buddhist hall, so she wants to do it for her, she is really thick-skinned. ”

"That is, even if it is inconvenient for Mrs. Lu to make clothes for Lingxi now, but Lingxi still has a sister-in-law, this is when the seventh young lady is an ornament, this is to make the family say that the seventh young lady can't tolerate the sister-in-law."

A few people, you said a word, and the Wen family was squeezed into a blue face and a white face.

Mrs. Wang stepped on the Wen family and was in a very good mood, so she said to the shopkeeper of Wenda: "Send all these latest fabrics to the Wang family, and wait for our family to choose them first." ”

The shopkeeper of Wenda glanced at the Wen family apologetically, not that he was unwilling to be accommodating, but that this top magnate could not tolerate the Wen family, and he had no choice.

Seeing that his mother was humiliated like this in order to make a beautiful dress for herself, Lu Man gathered the cloak that Mrs. Ding put on her, and said coldly: "Mother Ding, buy all the fabrics in this silk village." ”

Mrs. Ding saw Wen's soft and weak appearance, and she loved her daughter, because her status was not high, she was bullied like this, and she was full of anger, so she stepped forward directly and performed a standard etiquette to Wen's before she spoke: "Madame has worked hard, Miss is here to pick you up." Then he looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "How much does it cost to buy all the silk." ”

Mrs. Wang's dog legs said disdainfully: "Didn't you hear our Mrs. Wang say that she would send these silks to the Wang family?" Do you have the money to buy it? ”

Mrs. Ding was still very polite and saluted Mrs. Wang and her dogs, and the standard was so that people couldn't find the slightest handle, and then said: "Have you paid?" If you don't pay for it, it's not your thing. ”

Mrs. Ding straightened up, "As for whether we have the money to buy it, you will see later." ”

"Shopkeeper Wen, let's calculate the price."

Mrs. Wang was laughed at Mrs. Ding's words and deeds, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, the shopkeeper of Wenda, give them the calculation, Mrs. Ben wants to see how much you spend on all this silk." ”

Of course, the shopkeeper of Wenda saw that this mother-in-law was called by the lord of Lingxi County to vent his anger to the Wen family, and his own heart was also towards the Wen family, although he didn't know if the county lord of Lingxi had the ability to buy it, but he still felt that he should cooperate, and he signaled the account room to calculate the money.

Soon the account room calculated the accounts, all the cloth here, calculated down, cost 200,000 taels of silver, this price shocked Mrs. Wang, I didn't expect the things in the silk of the Wen family to be so valuable.

Mrs. Ding directly took out a stack of golden tickets from her bag, counted 20,000 golden tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper of Wenda, and then said: "These things belong to my young lady, you send someone to send them to the newly hung plaque in Nancheng." ”

There are two road mansions in the south city, one at the end and the other at the end, and the new road mansion is clearly the former general's mansion.

Some people who watched the excitement only reacted that this Lingxi County Lord was the owner of the Lu Mansion, and he was also the girl who was on the bar with the eldest princess of Qingyang.

Mrs. Wang was stunned all of a sudden, although the Wang family is still one of the eight major families, but it is already the last family, the county lord of Lingxi, before he recognized the Lu family, he had already dared to fight with the most powerful eldest princess, and he was also rich, and now he has regained his identity as the county lord, I am afraid that these people really can't suppress the county lord of Lingxi.

No matter how unwilling Mrs. Wang is, she is not willing to tear her face with the county lord of Lingxi head-on, their Wang family is not as powerful as the eldest princess of Qingyang.

The shopkeeper of Wenda was shocked by Lu Manman's identity, the girl who robbed the general's mansion turned out to be the cousin of their Wen family.

Lu Long didn't care so much, and left directly with Wen and Yu Pozi, who were already a little dazed.

The capital is a place where there are no secrets, and it is a place where secrets spread extremely fast, and it didn't take long for the magnates in the capital to know that the girl they couldn't find out when they died turned out to be the smart Lingxi County Lord back then.

Then all the talents realized that the county lord of Lingxi was not only smart, but also strong in martial arts, and even the secret guard of the eldest princess of Qingyang could beat it, this is no longer as simple as knowing how to punch and kick, and then many people have a deeper fear of the long road in their hearts, and there is even a feeling that all the light will be sucked away.

When Queen Yuan in the palace got the news, she was even happier and ate a bowl of rice, originally she just planned to use Lu Manman's chess piece to hit Xiaguang's face, but she didn't expect that Lu Manman even hit the face of Qingyang's slut, it seems that God is really on her side.

And Concubine Qi, who didn't take Lu Manman in her eyes, smashed her favorite vase when she knew that Lu Manman was the girl who made Qingyang deflated.

The road is long

The road is long
