Chapter Ninety-Six: Gift-giving
Lu Man was a talkative person in his previous life, and he would never be cold no matter who he was with, but he didn't know what to say to him when he met this product. She let out an "oh" and looked at the green bamboos in the corner of the courtyard in the distance in a daze.
Jiang Zhanwei didn't speak, and the two children said a few words of fairy tales, so that the atmosphere would not be too silent.
The girl came over and poured tea for Lu Man.
Jiang Zhanwei seemed to be explaining to Lu Man the reason why he didn't go to Lan Tingzhou last time he went home, "The last time I went back to the house and went to see my grandmother and Zhankui Xiaojiu'er, it was a little late. I had to rush to make a map overnight, so I went straight to the front yard......"
Lu Man let out another "oh".
Jiang Zhanwei's face was a little gloomy, and he said to Jiang Zhankui, "Take my sister outside to watch the play, the third brother has something to say to your third sister-in-law." ”
Although Jiang Zhankui was reluctant, he still stood up sensibly and took his sister to watch the play with Lingzhi and Mama Guo.
Although Jiang Jiu was very reluctant to leave the third brother, he didn't dare to be disobedient and left with a small mouth.
Seeing that the two villains walked out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Zhanwei took out a purse from his arms, blushed slightly and handed it to Lu Man. said, "When Brother Xie and I came back, I accompanied him to the silver building, and he bought a pair of bracelets for my sister-in-law, and I ...... Oh, Brother Xie also asked me to buy you some jewelry, saying thank you for saving his daughter-in-law and son. ”
Lu Man didn't want what Jiang Zhanwei sent. She always felt that it was one thing to beg him, and another thing to take his things. beg him, and she will also have corresponding rewards, such as taking care of the pair of little brothers and sisters, and finding a way to wake up the old colt, and no one owes anyone. can accept things, or jewelry, she can't give him jewelry or anything back. She definitely won't wear the jewelry he sent, and it's really unnecessary to collect useless things. Moreover, he gave it so reluctantly and reluctantly, saying that Brother Xie asked him to send it.
When she was hesitating, Jiang Zhanwei's face sank, and her voice was cold, "What...... Don't be sentimental, I gave you this jewelry for Brother Xie. ”
Lu Man saw that he was angry, so he had to take the purse and say, "Thank you, Third Master." He said, "That, the third master seems to have said the wrong thing, you should help Brother Xie's wife send it, what is it that Brother Xie sent me something, others will misunderstand when they hear it." ”
After she finished speaking, she felt that it seemed that it was not right to say that he helped Brother Xie's wife send it, he was someone from Grandma Xie, why should he help her send it.
Jiang Zhanwei blushed with anger, and said angrily, "You woman......" Unconsciously her voice was a little high, and she quickly lowered her voice and said, "You really can't get on the stage." ”
Lu Man glanced at him, turned his gaze away, and said coldly, "The people of the third master's family, if you scold me the most, you can't get on the stage." ”
Jiang Zhanwei glanced at Lu Man in a daze, then said slowly, "I'm sorry, it's me who doesn't choose what to say." Seeing that Lu Man still ignored him, he asked again, "Mother Wang and her grandson are back?" ”
Lu Man nodded and said, "Well, I'm back." Suddenly thinking that Jiang Xin said that Lu Fangrong would return to Beijing, he raised his head and asked, "Listen to Jiang Xin, that Lu Fangrong, he, he is going back to the capital?" ”
For that man, Lu Man really couldn't call the word "dad".
Jiang Zhanwei said in a low voice, "Well, General Lu will return to Beijing in a few days." In the future, he will continue to work with me. However, the camp is busy, and he has to come to the camp quickly after arranging his family, we have to be busy for a while, and those personal matters will be resolved later. He added, "Last time, Brother Xie and I went to the border to carry out a mission, and it was your father who led the way." General Lu is a person with real skills, not only is he very skilled, but he also knows the terrain of the north and the language and writing of the Tatars. "If it weren't for Imperial Doctor He, Lu Fangrong would have been just a petty official from the fifth grade now.
Afraid of irritating Lu Man, Jiang Zhanwei didn't dare to say anything about praising Lu Fangrong later.
Lu Man didn't expect Jiang Zhanwei to actually meet Lu Fangrong, and said that he had the ability. She said hatefully, "If he really has the ability, he will not condone the old lady to take the property of his ex-wife, and connived at his wife to kill his daughter for a few thousand silver." ”
Jiang Zhanwei shook his head and said, "General Lu is devoted to official business, and he is thousands of miles away from home. I suspect that there are many things that he doesn't know at all......"
Thinking of that phoenix man, Lu Man felt chest pain, he was not worth it for He, and he was wronged for the original owner. She felt that Lu Fangrong was far more hateful than Jiang Zhanwei.
No matter how Jiang Zhanwei is, he really loves his siblings, and for her, a contract wife, he also pretended to say that he would ensure that she could live, ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing, and gave her 1,000 taels of silver as pocket money. Although the deeds are hateful, at least they are responsible.
But Lu Fangrong, after marriage, spent He's money with peace of mind, and when something happened to the He family, his mother divorced He's family, remarried his wife, and accepted a concubine. left Xiao Lu Man at home and was bullied by his mother and stepwife......
Jiang Zhanwei saw Lu Man's face change, and said, "Don't be angry, when you're busy for a while, I'll accompany you to settle all the accounts that should be settled." Your vicious stepmother, if General Lu doesn't clean it up, I won't agree. ”
The one who bullied Xiao Luman, not to mention Xiao Chen, that old lady, and Baoqin, are all bad enough. There are also Lu Fangming's two sons, and after receiving benefits, they were bullied by Xiao Lu Man.
She said, "Those who are harmful and greedy for money are not only Xiao Chen's family, but also Lu Fangrong's mother." She took my mother's money and things, and promised that my mother would be good to me, but they bullied and abused me. and his concubine, in order to be a concubine for Lu Fangrong, secretly stole the true deed and replaced it with a fake deed. I'm afraid that I will follow Lu Fangrong to the north, scare me and say that the Tartars want to drink raw blood and eat raw meat, and that Lu Fangrong has a bad temper and loves to beat people...... "I told him roughly what Wang's mother said. Speaking of the back, I couldn't help but have red circles in my eyes.
The more Jiang Zhanwei listened, the more frightened he became, he didn't expect Xiao Chen, Aunt Qin, and Mrs. Lu to be so greedy for money and shameless. He intuitively felt that it might be possible for Lu Fangrong to like money, and it was also possible for him to be foolish and filial, but he would not deliberately indulge his wife and concubine for the sake of greed for money. But no matter what, they have done so many evil things, even if Lu Fangrong doesn't know about it, he is confused enough, and he can't escape the responsibility of poor supervision.
Thinking of Lu Fangrong's special ability and the heavy responsibility he has to take on this time, even if he has made a big mistake before, he must be left there, and some things cannot be made public.
Looking at Lu Man with red eyes, Jiang Zhanwei couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart, the Lu family was really a wolf's den. The situation of herself and her younger siblings is much better than her, at least she is not afraid of losing her life, and she has no worries about food and clothing. And she, living in such an environment, can still have a compassionate heart, pity Zhankui and Xiao Jiu'er's difficulty, she really thought wrong about her before......
