When Lu Man left, the eldest princess asked Mama Qian to take fifty taels of silver to Lu Man, which was rewarded to Mama Wang of Zhongnu.

Lu Man walked out of the upper room and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The rain was still pouring down, and the garden was full of cherry blossoms. Lu Man took Xing'er from the hand-copying verandah to the weeping flower gate, where a sedan chair was already waiting.

Lu Man returned to Lan Tingzhou, handed over the silver to Mama Wang, and also spoke the words of the eldest princess.

Mama Wang's eyes were so excited that her eyes were hot, and she said, "Oh my God, the old slave just did what he had to do, and the eldest princess who was high above actually said that the old slave was a loyal servant, and she also rewarded the old slave with silver." After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times in the direction of Heming Hall.

Mama Wang was happy, and she went to the kitchen to buy some ingredients at her own expense. She is now Lan Tingzhou's housekeeper, two taels of silver a month, although the money has not been received yet, but Lu Man gave her some, and the eldest princess rewarded her so much, so she already has more than seventy taels of silver in her hand.

bought back the meat dishes, went to the small kitchen to fry a few dishes that Lu Man liked to eat when he was a child, and asked his mother-in-law to carry the pair of little brothers and sisters, and celebrated on a small scale.

Lu Man and the little brothers and sisters ate on the kang table, Mama Wang took the little beans, Liu Ya and Lu Aya ate on the small table underground, and Lu Man and Mama Wang also drank some wine.

The little brother and sister are very happy, it is raining heavily today, and they can rest here again at night.

It rained for several days in a row, which brought down the hot temperatures. Early autumn came so quickly that a heavy rain drove away the brilliant heat of summer without a trace.

Two days later, Liu Xin came to see Lu Man and said that he had obtained a letter, which was addressed to General Jincheng Wang, and that it would be much easier to ask General Wang for help when the time came, and it would be much easier to find He's whereabouts.

It's just that this is a long way away, and there may not be any news back for three months.

Lu Man is also ready for this. She also asked Mama Wang to get five hundred taels of silver for the person who went to Shuzhong to find someone.

Liu Xin refused, "The third master has already given enough silver. ”

Lu Man still asked him to accept the five hundred taels of silver, saying that if he found He, it would be best to bring her to the capital. If she really doesn't come, the money will be used as her temporary settling.

Lu Man felt that with the personality of the He family's fortune boy, even if he brought some silver with him, there should be little left now.

When Mama Wang heard that someone had finally gone to Shuzhong to find He's, she wiped her tears excitedly.

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, Lu Man was massaging the old horse, and Lu Fu suddenly sent a post, saying that Lu Man's father Lu Fangrong had returned to Beijing and asked her to go back tomorrow for a reunion. also said that Lu Fangrong would rush to the camp before sunset tomorrow, and asked Lu Man to go back early.

Maybe the Lu family was frightened by Lu Man's hanging, or maybe they never paid attention to this girl, since Lu Man got married, no one came to take her back to her parents' house, and they didn't even come to see her. If you want to know her situation, you spend money to inquire from your subordinates.

Lu Man hesitated with this post, she didn't want to see that family, let alone that scumbag.

In fact, she has always kept a secret in her heart in her previous life, that is, she wants to meet the father who abandoned their mother and daughter. Especially when I was a child, I always dreamed that suddenly one day my father would appear in front of her, take her into my arms and say "Daddy has been thinking about you". But after her father divorced her mother, he was transferred back to the city where his hometown was located, and she never saw him until he died, except that his later wife really gave birth to a boy.

In this life, I met the same ruthless and unrighteous scumbag father.

She occasionally thinks that her father is her daughter's lover in her previous life, and maybe she has never been married or in love in her previous life, so she will not love her father in these two lives. Thinking of this, Lu Man was still a little sad.

The eldest princess saw Lu Man holding the post in a daze, and said, "Your father has come back from a long way, let's go back and see you." Dad is a father, should be filial piety or filial piety. But don't be afraid of your stepmother, our daughter-in-law, she can't help bullying her. ”

In the hearts of feudal leaders, filial piety is always the first, Lu Man did not dare to be disobedient, and nodded in agreement.

The eldest princess said to the eldest grandmother again, "Tomorrow, let Zhanwei's daughter-in-law bring a few more guards back, if her stepmother dares to bully people, let's salute first and then soldier." ”

The eldest grandmother smiled and agreed.

The old lady's words also amused Lu Man. She put her arm around the old lady and smiled, "Grandmother is so good, you have your old man as a backer for your granddaughter-in-law, and no one is afraid of granddaughter-in-law." ”

Lu Man returned to Lantingzhou, Jiang Zhankui was playing with Jiang Jiu, Xiaodouzi, and Qi Chang in the courtyard, and Mama Wang was making clothes for Lu Man under the corridor.

Seeing that Lu Man was back, the three children and a dog all jumped over happily.

Lu Man smiled and touched the top of each person's head, then led Jiang Jiu to Mama Wang's side, and said that Lu Fu sent a post over, and Lu Fangrong came back.

Jiang Jiu heard that Lu Man was going to be a guest again, so he hurriedly said, "Third sister-in-law, we don't have a foreign family, so I really want to follow the third sister-in-law as a guest." ”

Although the little girl is called Lu Man's third sister-in-law, she regards her as her own mother in her heart. felt that Lu Man's maiden home should be his foreign home, and wanted to follow him as a guest.

Lu Man sighed and said, "The third sister-in-law's family is not worrying, it's not fun to go." After waiting for two days, I will give Sister Ping a post and invite them to come to the house to play. ”

Wang's mother also wanted to go back, but her return to Beijing was still kept secret, so she had to endure it. He also told Lu Aya that he was optimistic about the third grandmother, and he couldn't let the third grandmother suffer any more.

Lu Man smiled and comforted her, "I'm not what I used to be, and Green Aya is much more powerful than before." Rest assured, I won't let people bully me anymore. ”

Lu Aya also patted her chest and said, "The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister's door, I am now the eldest girl in the eldest princess's mansion, and I have enough confidence." Tomorrow, I'll wear the same satin outfit I've never worn before. ”

Because she is now Lu Man's right-hand man, those women who see a doctor ask her for help, and often give her some small bribes, so Mama Zhu gave her a piece of fine silk. She liked something, and hurriedly asked Wang's mother to help cut it, and she hurriedly sewed it out, but she was reluctant to wear it.

Liu Ya quipped, "I thought you were going to wear it when you were a son-in-law, why are you willing to wear it tomorrow?" ”

Amused everyone.

After breakfast the next day, Lu Man first went to Heming Hall to visit the old concubine before returning to Lantingzhou to clean up.

She must go to the Lu family with enough momentum today. Let them know that if they marry the girl of their mother's family, their mother's family will benefit. But if the girl who hates her mother's family marries high, the heart of her mother's family is about to be raised. They want to climb rich, where is it so easy.

Of course, there is no need to deliberately dress up, the Lu family is not worth her so much trouble. Even the clothes and jewelry issued by the eldest princess's mansion every day are also great wealth in the eyes of the Lu family.
