Chapter 8: Jealousy

Qinglian had never seen Lu Chengxuan live a good life since she followed Lu Chengxuan, and now it seems that these are indeed very good, but for Ning Juan, the eldest lady of the Ning family, it doesn't matter.

Lu Chengxuan's eyes were not half of the waves, and the smile on her face was just for Gui Zhi and Mother Wang.

Although she was very anxious about whether she had made the right bet, after her wish was really fulfilled, she did not relax at all, and she was only worried.

Taking refuge in Lu Zhou's family is the first step, and every step to be taken next will be thrilling, and she can't be sloppy.

"We can't guess what the old lady means, since it is given to us, it is the old lady's heart, we will take it well, and find another opportunity to repay the old lady in the future." Lu Chengxuan opened her mouth lightly, looking at Qinglian with some worriedness.

What a stupid girl with a pure heart, how can such a state of mind survive in this back house?

It seems that she wants to teach her a little bit and patiently.

"Qinglian, you also know our situation in the Lu family, no one really cares about us, although you and I are called master servants, but we are real relatives, we can only trust each other and support each other in the future."

The smile at the corner of Qinglian's mouth receded, and then became solemn, with red eyes.

"It's too much to say and be wrong, if there is anything to say in the future, let's close the door and talk about it, but don't be afraid, as long as I have a bite of food, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Qinglian nodded heavily, as if Lu Chengxuan's words had inexplicable magic, she was really not very afraid.

"Don't say anything more, go and make a charcoal fire from the brazier in the house, and then we'll choose some of the fabrics and make some clothes."

Lu Chengxuan cleaned up his things neatly, and commanded, it can be regarded as a charcoal fire in winter, at least there is no need to starve and freeze this winter.

"Later, boil out that bird's nest and we'll drink it together, you've been frozen in the ancestral hall for a long time."

Qinglian hesitated.

Lu Chengxuan didn't look up, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss, slaves don't know how to do ......" Qinglian's face turned red, very embarrassed. She is also the same age as Lu Chengxuan now, her mother died early, and she has been by Lu Chengxuan's side since she was bought, no one has taught her, so naturally she will not.

The Lu family has a big business, even if they live in a partial courtyard, they also have their own small kitchen, but unfortunately Qinglian and Lu Chengxuan in the past can't cook, so they can only eat the cold rice handed over.

Naturally, the body is not good.

Lu Chengxuan frowned slightly when she looked up, but after thinking about it, she said, "I'll teach you." ”

She doesn't plan to ask for those leftovers anymore, first of all, her body must be well maintained, this body is too weak for her to fight for a long time, and secondly, it is safe to do it herself, and she likes to eat comfortably, and she will not eat a bunch of poison if she is not careful.

"Uh...... Good?!? ”

Qinglian was happy in her eyes, but she was also a little puzzled, she hadn't seen the young lady study?

Why would the young lady be?

And I always feel that the young lady has woken up from the ancestral hall as if she was a different person, although she still tolerates and does things in a low-key manner, but she is not the cowardice and panic she used to be.

Possible......

Maybe Miss is really cold to Aunt Yu......

———

Lu Chenghuan's eyes were slightly red, and he had been sobbing aggrievedly since he came out of Litong Courtyard.

"Huan'er." Zhao Yiyun was a little unbearable, and comforted her, "It's just a concubine's oil bottle, why do you always have to get along with her." ”

"You are the concubine of our Lu family, your status is noble, even if you want to marry in the future, you will definitely be the wife of the prince and noble, and you are in charge of the back house, why are you still so unbreathable?"

It's not a matter of a day or two that Lu Chenghuan and Lu Chengxuan can't get by, but Zhao Yiyun's repeated advice is useless, and now he is still frizzy and out of proportion in front of Lu Zhou's family.

"The daughter is not convinced, mother, that little slut should not be the heir of our family, why should our Lu family still have good food and drink to raise her." Lu Chenghuan was full of grievances, "I was very angry when I looked at her foxy appearance." ”

Lu Chenghuan had jealousy in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth a little.

Yes, it's jealousy.

Yu's appearance is delicate, not outstanding, maybe Lu Chengxuan is her father who died early with her short life, and he is very handsome.

On weekdays, there is no dress and decoration can be delicate like a blooming begonia that makes people can't take their eyes off, if they are doing a good job, I am afraid that it will be more charming and enchanting, and men can't help but see it.

On the other hand, none of these young ladies in the mansion can compare to her, how can Lu Chenghuan not be jealous in his heart?

Especially when the father-in-law who had a head in the womb came to announce the reward a few days ago, he also praised Lu Chengxuan's appearance in his spare time, and Lu Chenghuan's heart was even more uncomfortable.

There were rules since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where a woman is thirteen to seventeen years old to enter the palace to serve the election, if you can win the favor of the emperor, you can be a concubine, enjoy the glory and wealth and glory of the ancestors.

At the beginning, the eldest sister Lu Chengyin became the lady of the concubine, and she was loved by thousands of people, which made women all over the world envious.

Once every three years, the daughters of seven-rank officials need to enter the palace to wait, Lu Chengxuan's biological father is humble, but in the end, the name is also on the Lu family tree, and he is also qualified.

Last time, Lu Chengyin was selected, seeing that the waiter was close at hand, and her eldest sister was pregnant, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Lu Chenghuan was a little anxious.

The first strike is stronger, she doesn't want Lu Chengxuan to be turned over by the emperor's fancy when the time comes, and she has to trample herself under her feet, taking advantage of her weakness now is the best time to get rid of her.

"Huan'er, ......" Zhao Yiyun was shocked, and looked at Lu Chenghuan's gaze with some hesitation.

She didn't know that Lu Chenghuan had the intention of being an imperial concubine, she had been thinking about how to plan a good family affair for Lu Chenghuan, and become a housewife in the future, without having to be so bumpy as her.

Lu Chenghuan was a little anxious, "Mother, you can't be so partial, you can't think about the benefits of the second sister in everything, Huan'er also wants to enter the palace, and Huan'er also wants to glorify the lintel!" ”

"Except to become an imperial concubine, Huan'er doesn't want to marry anyone!"

Snow ......

Zhao Yiyun only felt bitter in his heart, the Zhao family used to be everyone before the decline, and now the Lu family is also prominent, except for a period of hardship in his childhood, Zhao Yiyun's life can be described as glorious.

She used to be everyone's best lady and had her own heart, but everything was worn away by those hard days, and only today's deep planning remains......

But she knows the hardships of entering the palace as a concubine, and everyone can see the favored scenery, so who understands the sorrow of those concubines in the cold palace?

At the beginning, Lu Chengxue also knelt in front of him, begging to enter the palace, but now he ......

The same should be true of her other daughter.

"You really decided that?" Zhao Yiyun's voice was sharp.
