Chapter 115: The Dowry

Hearing that someone was coming, Lu Xuelin hurriedly opened the door, and the aunt under the bridge brought it in, and then closed the door tightly.

Lu Xueling took her aunt's hand and fluttered and fell to the ground suddenly, crying loudly: "Mother, you save me, I don't want to marry the tenth prince as a concubine, please, help me go and beg my father to intercede, let me not marry the tenth prince, woo woo woo ......"

"This family business is an order from the emperor himself, so what can we do? If you disobey the order, you will lose your head, pity my Ling'er......" Aunt Xia hugged Lu Xueling and comforted her body, staggering and almost falling.

The mother and daughter stayed in the room and cried bitterly, of course, no one sympathized with them, because these two people had finally been punished for doing so many evils in the Lu Mansion for so many years.

Master Lu prepared a dowry for Lu Xueling with a bad face, even if he was a concubine, he was not ashamed, but he hadn't finished yet, where would he put his face?

It's always reluctant, and you have to go through those processes.

Aunt Qiao knew that this matter might not be able to help Aunt Xia, so she hid in her room and didn't dare to go out, for fear that Aunt Xia would come to the door.

She has already realized that she has already aroused some dissatisfaction with Master Lu, if she does something now, then it is very likely that she will fall out of favor, even if she has children? As Liu Qingqing said before, Master Lu can still wait for her to give birth to the child, and then throw her out.

Now her most critical thing is to raise a baby, and when she stays here in a proper manner and gives birth to a big fat boy, it is estimated that her identity will also rise because of this. Maybe she can take Liu Qingqing's place and become the lady of the main room.

Lu Xueyi went back to her yard first, and after packing up her things, she hurried to the old lady's yard.

She knew that the old lady might be furious because of Lu Xueling's matter, and if she didn't accompany the old lady, she probably didn't know when she would be angry.

The old lady's health is not very good, what if she gets sick again?

With a turn of thought, Lu Xueyi took a few strange things and prepared to enlighten the old lady.

When she arrived at the old lady's yard, the old lady was still losing her temper and cut all the flowers that could be cut in the yard.

Lu Xueyi couldn't help but feel a little funny, and went over to pull the old lady who was about to cut the leaves after cutting the flowers.

I couldn't help but admire the old lady's personality in my heart, and at this point, Aunt Qiao, Aunt Xia, Lu Xueling and the old lady couldn't be compared at all.

When they start their tempers, they are angry with their servants, how can the old lady have a heart, and they don't sprinkle their anger on people, but they just ...... It's a pity for these flowers.

"Yi'er is here......" When she suddenly saw Lu Xueyi, the old lady's eyes lit up slightly, put down the scissors in her hand, and held Lu Xueyi's chubby little hand tightly, "Or Yi'er, you have a heart, come and see me as soon as you come back." I guess I can't take a break yet, right? ”

Lu Xueyi blinked her eyes and replied a little playfully: "Where is it important to rest and come to accompany the old lady?" What's more, Yi'er isn't tired now......"

"Alas...... Good boy, unlike Lu Xueling's child, it doesn't make people worry......" As soon as the old lady mentioned Lu Xueling, she couldn't help but complain: "Do you know how those people think of our Lu family now?" This old face of mine is yo...... It's all over for her. ”

"Don't think so, old lady." Lu Xueyi gently patted the old lady's back to give her relief.

"Ouch, how can I have such an unsuccessful granddaughter......" The old lady was angry and bloody.

Lu Xueyi said half-jokingly: "Don't you see that there is still me?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's better for us to be obedient, don't cause trouble, and know how to be filial to my old woman......" The old lady looked at Lu Xueyi and felt a little comforted.

"When the old lady said this, Yi'er would be proud......" Lu Xueyi deliberately diverted the topic.

The old lady was amused by her, and naturally liked her even more. All the unhappy things just now were all put behind me at once.

"Yi'er, are you hungry? Would you like to stay here and have a meal with me? The old lady said very enthusiastically, no longer looking angry just now.

The maid next to her also sighed secretly, it's better to be a big girl, obviously a person who doesn't like to talk much, for the sake of the old lady, she actually said so much.

Lu Xueyi nodded, "I also want to have a meal with the old lady, so I will be cheeky and stay here and not leave!" If you drive me away, I won't leave! ”

"Oops! Okay, okay, let's go get dinner, I'm going to have a good meal with Yi'er. "The old lady completely forgot about Lu Xueling, you know, she was so angry that she couldn't eat before.

Lu Xueyi accompanied the old lady to have a beautiful dinner, and the old lady reluctantly let Lu Xue leave.

In the bamboo garden, Xie Qi had just come back, and his indifferent face was faintly tired.

He came back much later than Lu Xueyi, because the palace banquet did not arrive, so he didn't know what happened to Lu Xueling and Lu Xueyi there.

"Xiao Qi, are you back?" Qu Yuan leaned against the door frame, looked at Xie Qi with a slight smile between his eyebrows, and said mysteriously: "At this palace banquet today, an interesting thing happened. ”

"Oh." Xie Qi didn't look interested, continued to walk towards the room, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly.

Qu Yuan looked at him with a nonchalant look, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he said step by step: "This matter is about the Lu family." After speaking, he also observed the look on Xie Qi's face very carefully, wanting to see a little nervousness from above.

But to Qu Yuan's disappointment, Xie Qi still looked indifferent, and that cold look made Qu Yuan want to go up and beat him, just like this, no wonder he couldn't find his daughter-in-law!

Qu Yuan didn't sell it anymore, and said with a smile: "The second girl of the Lu family, stealing chickens and rice, framing the eldest girl instead of putting herself in, before she can reach the line, she will marry the tenth prince as a concubine, and the Lu family is almost unable to raise her head because of this matter." ”

"Hmm." Xie Qi responded lightly, saying that he knew, and then still drank tea by himself.

Qu Yuan angrily pulled his beard, almost jumped to his feet, and scolded secretly: How can this little rabbit cub be like a piece of wood, he doesn't want to create opportunities for him.

"Don't you want to know what's wrong with that big girl?" Qu Yuan simply asked very directly, he thought that Xie Qi should have a reaction this time, right?

But as a result, Xie Qi didn't seem to hear it, so Qu Yuan didn't know what to say, so he could only turn around and leave, shaking his head and sighing as he walked, muttering in a low voice: "This piece of wood." When will I be able to marry a girl and come back? Even if it's a good fate, it can't save this wood......"

After Qu Yuan left, Xie Qi got up, put the teacup on the table, looked at the night scene outside the window, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

I lit a candle, picked up a medical book by the window and read it slowly, and it took me half a day to turn a page, I don't know if it was because it was too deep and difficult to understand so that he slowed down his reading speed, or because of some mental matters, recalled in his mind, unable to calm down and read?

As for the specifics, only Xie Qi himself knows......

When the candle by the window was burned, Xie Qi put down the medical book and went to bed to rest.

The next morning, Master Lu was still preparing to marry Lu Xueling with a black face, his temper became more and more angry, looking at the things plastered with red letters, dazzling red, he only felt that he was sarcastic.

His daughter is only worthy of being a concubine?

Master Lu's anger is not in one place.

At this time, Steward Li from the Ten Princes' Mansion came to the Lu Mansion to look for him.

"Let him wait in the hall!" Master Lu roared angrily, and then slowly walked over there, enduring his anger, and finally received Steward Li in the front hall, his face was still a little unsightly.

Steward Li doesn't mind, who is so aggrieved to marry a daughter like Master Lu? It's okay to understand it properly.

"I don't know what happened when Steward Li came from afar?" Master Lu asked with a reluctant smile on his face.

"Hahaha...... Master Lu, naturally I came to give you a dowry gift. Steward Li said very kindly, Master Lu was not very happy, he had expected it a long time ago, wasn't it because Lu Xueling was married to the Ten Princes' Mansion as a concubine, which made him lose face, plus he felt sorry for his daughter? If you want to save face, give him face, as for the daughter...... There's nothing wrong with treating it well.

Seeing that his tone was sincere and kind, Master Lu snorted coldly, and said with a slightly soothing face: "The Ten Princes are polite, thank you for the old man's Ten Princes." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this dowry gift is as it should be. Dongzi! Bring up the dowry! Steward Li said loudly to the people outside the hall, and soon several people carried a full ten boxes of things into the hall.

Master Lu was stunned, a little surprised by the generosity of the Ten Princes, didn't he just accept a concubine, and the dowry he prepared was almost the same as marrying a concubine.

It can be seen that these ten princes are also very sincere.

Steward Li saw his shocked appearance, and opened the box in front of him, there were countless treasures, obviously these ten princes had put a lot of thought into it.

Steward Li deliberately explained: "This is the tenth prince's order to highlight his heart for Miss Lu Er." ”

Master Lu frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Our Ten Princes fell in love with Lu Er Girl at first sight, so you can rest assured that the Second Girl will marry our Ten Princes, and you will definitely not treat her badly." Steward Li said very kindly, which calmed Master Lu's heart a little.

This dowry can be regarded as a little bit of face for Master Lu.
