Wang's mother sighed, "Juanzi was assigned to a tenant in Zhuangzi in Nanxian County by the second wife last year. Looking at her appearance, Wang Xiaojuan's life will not be easy.
When the He family was in the Lu family, Uncle Wang was the big housekeeper of the Lu family, and Mother Wang was Lu Man's nurse, and the family lived a very nourishing life. Xiao Chen married in, because Wang's mother's family didn't listen to her, and Mrs. Lu hated He's family, so Xiao Chen's sent Uncle Wang's father and son (daughter) to Zhuangzi, and then sent Wang's mother out, and she was not with the man's son. Their family was torn apart, and their lives were extremely miserable.
Lu Man said, "Mom, when some things are solved, we will find a way to help Sister Juanzi." If her in-laws are kind to each other, she will give Sister Juanzi some land as a dowry, so that they can treat Sister Juanzi well. If the mother-in-law's family is not good for each other, find a way to let them separate the family, or even separate. ”
Mother Wang wiped her tears and said, "Look at what the third grandmother said, it was the old slave who didn't take good care of the third grandmother, so she fell into the way of others." If the third grandmother is really gone, the old slave will not live. When she was still in Zhuangzi, she vaguely heard that Lu Man was married to the eldest princess's mansion and hanged herself, but she didn't die.
Lu Man comforted, "That's a stupid thing I can't think of doing for a while, and I won't do it again." ”
The little bean playing in Qingfeng Courtyard was found by the girl, and Wang's mother hugged her little grandson and cried again.
Lu Man said sadly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Niu Niu died." ”
Wang's mother sighed with tears, "That child was born in poor health, and he was sick ......and sick."
Liu Ya came over and smiled, "The meal has been set." ”
Lu Man had dinner with his grandfather and grandson.
Wang's mother insisted on not eating at the same table with Lu Man, but Lu Man ate on the kang table by himself, and their grandchildren and Lu Aya ate on the small table.
After the meal, Wang's mother took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and whispered to Lu Man. The other girls quit very interestingly, and took Xiaodouzi away, leaving only the two of them in the bedroom.
They kept talking about sleeping, Lu Man slept on the bed, and Wang's mother continued to talk on the floor.
Lu Man originally wanted Wang's mother to come to the bed to sleep with her, but Wang's mother was unwilling, "Then how can you make it, no matter how sympathetic the master is to the old slave, there must be respect and humility." ”
With Wang's mother's narration, Lu Man also knew more about the He family and the Lu family.
He's boudoir name is He Mingzhu, she looks very beautiful, and Lu Man's appearance is with her. He Huang only got such a girl in middle age, and he loves her very much, like a pearl.
But he didn't want her to get married, and just wanted her to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the He family's family business and mantle. He also focused on cultivating several sons-in-law candidates, that is, several of his apprentices, including the current shopkeeper Li.
He Mingzhu is simple and gentle, and she lives carefree according to the life planned for her by her father. Although many families came to propose marriage, including some children of high-ranking officials who took a fancy to He Mingzhu's beauty, He Huang did not respond.
Until He Mingzhu was fifteen years old, one day when she was out of the house, she encountered a wicked person molesting her, and she happened to be rescued by Lu Fangrong. Lu Fangrong is tall and heroic, and his martial arts are strong, which makes He Mingzhu's heart secretly moved.
Lu Fangrong also fell in love with this beautiful and gentle girl at a glance, not only reported to his family, but also said that he had just won the martial arts champion. He asked He Mingzhu what his home address was, and He Mingzhu didn't deceive him, he said it all.
A few days later, Lu Fangrong personally led the matchmaker to the door to propose marriage.
He Huang didn't even want the children of those high-ranking officials, let alone this poor family. At that time, Lu Fangrong had just won the martial arts champion, and he became a six-grade military academy in the army, and his eldest brother Lu Fangming was still preparing for the exam. For the sake of her two sons to take the imperial examination, Mrs. Lu sold most of the family's property, leaving only 20 acres of land and a broken yard on the outskirts of Beijing.
He Huang said that his daughter wanted to recruit a son-in-law to inherit her family business and mantle, if Lu Fangrong really liked He Mingzhu, he would join the He family as a son-in-law.
Of course, Lu Fangrong couldn't come to the door, but he really admired He Mingzhu, so he promised that his first son would be surnamed He and inherit the incense and mantle of the He family.
He Mingzhu heard Lu Fangrong's promise behind the screen, and was even more moved, and ran out to He Huang to say that she would not marry Lu Fangrong. If He Huang disagrees, she will become a sister-in-law.
He Huang couldn't, so he had to agree.
And although Mrs. Lu didn't want her son's first son to give it to the He family, she heard that He Huang was the judge of the Tai Hospital, and he was second only to the six-rank official of the Tai Hospital. Moreover, He Huang has excellent medical skills, and he is familiar with many high-ranking officials, and even the mothers in the palace know him, which will definitely help the careers of his two sons. Especially the boss, even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, it is not easy to find a shortage if there is no way. So, I gritted my teeth and agreed.
Because the Lu family was poor, and because the He family only had this one daughter, he took away a small half of the He family's property when he got married in the second year. Including a house in the capital, 500 acres of land, a Zhuangzi, and 4,000 taels of silver.
In order to marry He Mingzhu, the Lu family rented a courtyard house in the capital. The two rooms plus an old lady, as well as the eight subordinates brought by the He family, were crowded.
As soon as the He family married into the Lu family, he covered all the living expenses. She was embarrassed that she had a subordinate, so she let her mother-in-law suffer, and bought a girl for Mrs. Lu. He also said that he had a three-entry house in the capital, and asked his mother-in-law's family to move there. Mrs. Lu was very arrogant and did not live in her daughter-in-law's dowry house, saying that she was afraid that people would poke her backbone.
After He became pregnant, because she couldn't get used to living in this small courtyard, and because she was grateful to her husband and mother-in-law for being willing to let her first son be surnamed He. took the silver out and bought a three-entry house, and even bought decoration and furniture, which cost nearly a thousand taels of silver, and it was Lu Fangrong's name that fell down.
It was the Lu family's house, and the old lady and the big house family happily moved in. He paid for a few more subordinates for the old lady and the big house.
That year, Lu Fangming got his wish and was admitted to the Jinshi, and He Shi paid money for Lu Fangming's relationship to vacancy, or He Huang begged for a talent to find him an eight-grade petty official in the General Political Envoy Department. Lu Fangming was happy and accepted two concubines successively.
Mother Wang gritted her teeth and scolded, "That family is a vampire bat in the cave, eating well, wearing good clothes, living well, and taking concubines, all of which suck the blood of the first second wife." ”
Lu Man was also angry, the Lu family's family was too shameless, and the He family was too virgin.
As a result, the He family only gave birth to a daughter, and she was surnamed Lu and named Lu Man. And said okay, the next child is a son, and his surname is He.
Before He could conceive another one, when Lu Man was more than a year old, He Huang had an accident, and Mrs. He also died a few days later.
