Chapter 231: Snubbing

Lu Zhen, the son of the British princess, is just an idle son at home, and he was favored by the British duchess when he was a child, although he is already the eldest and has married a wife and had children, but he still has no position, he sits at home every day and eats empty mountains, and receives one hundred and eighty taels of silver every year, but he is just gnawing at the old.

It's just that the British Duke doesn't have any actual military exploits, and the British Mansion looks bright on the outside, but it is already empty inside, but it is just relying on the ancestral shade to eat the old book.

Seeing that he is nearly thirty years old, the son has not made any achievements, the concubines are carried to the house room by room, and the children are born one after another, but the food and clothing are still the same, and they are about to sell their fields and houses to live, how can the British couple not worry?

If there are no more meritorious achievements, the British public will be laughed at.

And the Ming Dynasty has a precedent to follow, after three generations of the title, there is no official position or military merits, and the title will be taken back to the court.

Now the most capable person in the Lu family is Lu Ying.

He is in a high position and is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, if he can say a few good words in front of the emperor, it is not a matter of getting a half-official position for the prince Lu Zhen?

He also served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and placed his brother Lu Zhen in Beizhen Fusi to make a break at will, so that the whole family would not have to worry about chewing at that time.

At that time, the title will not be cut off, and the lintel of the English duke will not fall.

Therefore, even if they come to the door to greet a junior, the British couple is willing!

As soon as the prince Lu Zhen entered Lu Ying's mansion, he looked around, this was the first time he came to his brother's mansion, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows lacked a look of indifference, which really made Lu Ying feel cold.

Beat Xiao'er's brother to bully him and insult him, he was lost at a young age, and he couldn't have been covered by a duchess compared to the son, he was still very young at that time, so he naturally had to try to be patient.

Fortunately, he secretly learned bad tactics in the art of war, practiced them hundreds of times in his heart, and finally became a person with hills and valleys in his chest.

Later, with the crown prince, he rose step by step, until he achieved his current status.

Time has passed, time has changed, and what has not changed is the lack of people's hearts!

I think that when he ran away from home and fought on the battlefield, no one would see him off, not the British duchess, let alone the British duchess.

Lu Zhen's eyes kept rolling around the bones, looking around at this endless mansion. I saw pavilions and pavilions, and there were many houses. In addition, there is a garden across the east and west, which is simply more exquisite and beautiful than the British Mansion.

Lu Zhen couldn't help but look at it with his eyeballs, and after looking at it for a while, he muttered to his wife.

Seeing that Lu Ying's face was not good, the British couple couldn't help but scold Lu Zhen, "Why don't you hurry up and stop?" It's so dishonest outside! ”

Lu Zhen pursed her lips and stood there unwillingly.

Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and asked the British couple, "I don't know what advice my father and mother have come to here?" ”

Seeing that he was finally willing to pay attention to them, the British public immediately stroked his three-inch-long beard, and laughed, "Good boy, you won't come back for the New Year, don't worry, your mother and I miss you, come and see you." ”

Lu Ying smiled noncommittally.

During the Chinese New Year, they remembered him. I think about how many times he fought bloodily on the battlefield, and how many times he died in his life, and he didn't see anyone even asking.

Thinking of the days when he was on the border, every time the New Year was celebrated, other soldiers could receive a lot of clothes or food sent from home. But he doesn't even have a book.

In the past five years, he has not received a word from the British public, let alone seen a letter from home.

It seems that no one has ever remembered that he is also the child of an English male, and no one cares whether he lives or dies.

Now that he has entered Beijing, they are in a hurry to pay him New Year's greetings?

It's just that his current status is a real fight made by him, and it has nothing to do with the British government!

But this time, a father and mother who care about their son appeared, which is really funny!

The corners of Lu Ying's mouth raised a sneer, staring at the British duke and the British duchess, her voice was weak and cold, "It's not the right time for my father and mother to come, Cai Wei and I are about to go out." ”

The British duke and the British duchess finally blocked Lu Ying at home, and of course they refused to let go of this golden opportunity easily.

The British duchess and lady hurriedly stepped forward, stopped Lu Ying, and said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, where are you going?" Do you want to go back to your daughter-in-law's house? ”

They didn't look at Cai Wei from beginning to end since they came in, they just looked at Lu Ying blankly, and almost never fixed a pair of eyes on Lu Ying.

Hearing Lu Ying say this, the British public was willing to glance at Cai Wei.

Cai Wei smiled, but she was puzzled.

"It's not going back to Mu's house, it's going back to my cousin's house, go and see my cousin's place, it's cold, it's a new year, and I don't know if he has bought everything there?"

Speaking of which, if you are interested, you should leave, but the British duchess seemed to be unable to hear anything, and cheekily smiled at Lu Ying, "Brother Ying, you see that your brother's brother is idle at home, so put him in a position." ”

Seeing that Mrs. British Gong opened her mouth, she was naturally not to be left behind, and put on a posture of an elder and said, "Lao Jiu, how can you help your eldest brother once." In the future, in the future, he will definitely return your favor! ”

Lu Ying has figured out their hearts for so many years, where do you not know what they have always done?

But you have to pretend to be stupid when you should pretend, he looked straight ahead with an expressionless face, and said lightly, "Cousin is at the back of this street, we can get there by turning a corner!" ”

When the British duchess heard this, she hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Since it is so close, you can go whenever you want, your father and I finally came here, what are you doing in such a hurry to go out?" ”

As soon as the words fell, she pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Shizi's coat and walked inside, and said, "I've been standing for most of the day, and I'm dying of thirst." ”

The implication is that Lu Ying still refuses to entertain even tea.

When the British saw that they had all gone in, they were not idle, and followed them inside.

Cai Wei was a little embarrassed, she stood still, she didn't know whether to go out or go in, after all, this nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law came, and she, the head of the house, didn't even entertain hot water, let alone snacks, and spread it out, and it was not good for Lu Ying's official reputation.

It's just that Lu Ying didn't seem to be aware of it, looking indifferent, holding Cai Wei's hand and still walking out, casually instructing the housekeeper Uncle Fu, "Let's see if there are any good teas and snacks?" Under the New Year, you have to let your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law eat enough! ”

Uncle Fu wanted to laugh when he heard this, and in front of the British Duke and Lady, he had to endure it as much as he could, but his shaking shoulders betrayed him.

Cai Wei shook her head helplessly, this Uncle Fu just wants to laugh, but don't hold back the internal injuries.
