Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

The layout of the capital is generally divided into four parts, the east is noble and the west is poor, the south is rich and the north is cheap.

If you can live in the east of the city, you can't just have money, but you also have power, and the Lu Mansion is located on East Street, occupying half a street, and the luxury of this century-old mansion can be seen.

Although the Lu family has lost its title in this generation, its intertwined power in the capital is deeply rooted and cannot be shaken.

The first queen was born by the Lu family, she was Lu Zhiyuan's little aunt, who gave birth to the crown prince, and now the virtuous concubine Niangniang in the palace is also from the Lu family.

In other words, the prince and Lu Zhiyuan are actually cousins, Lu Zhiyuan is three years younger than his prince's cousin, Lu Zhiyuan's biological mother went to him less than a month because of the difficulty of giving birth, Meng was worried that his son would be bullied by his stepmother in the future, so he arranged everything before he went, and sent someone to send the infant Lu Zhiyuan to Xunyang, followed the great Confucian of the time, and left for more than ten years, until he returned to the Lu family a few years ago.

So he has never been very familiar with many people and things in the capital, and he has been away most of these years, and the Lu family is more of a symbol to him.

When the Lu family arrived in this generation, the head of the family was Lu Zhengxian, and his wife was Shen.

Lu Zhengxian has a total of three sons and two daughters, Lu Zhiyuan's father Lu Nianyan, ranked third, and there are also the old mainland Niansong and the second Lu Nianzheng.

The current head of the Lu Mansion is the old lady Shen, but the Shen family is old, and he has not been in charge of the affairs of the house for a long time these years, and the eldest lady does not ask about the world, so the housekeeper is currently the second lady Qiu, and the third lady Qiao is the stepmother of Lu Zhiyuan.

"Yuan'er is back." Qiao Shi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and his eyes were red.

Lu Zhiyuan took a step forward and wanted to kneel down and salute, but Qiao Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him get up, and said with a smile, "My family, what are you doing all this." Get up quickly and let your mother see. ”

Although Qiao's is his stepmother, he has no fate, Lu Zhiyuan is now a six-rank official, and Qiao's stupidity will not really let the court official salute him in the court.

After some politeness, Qiao Shi set his eyes on Luo Shi, "This is Dan Niang, I haven't seen you for three years, and I don't know each other." ”

"The daughter-in-law has seen her mother." Roche smiled, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully.

As for Bai Susu, she is a concubine, and she is not qualified to be noticed by Qiao's for the time being, so she was naturally ignored at this time.

"You guys are really, it's been three years since you left, and I don't know how to bring a letter back, your father and I are always chattering, the old lady was sick for several days when she thought about her grandson a while ago."

Qiao's words are very interesting, obviously saying that he misses Lu Zhiyuan, but in fact, he means that he is not filial and his grandmother is sick. An unfilial hat was buttoned down like this, which was really unexpected.

There are so many people around here, if this word spreads, it is easy to be used by people with intentions, you must know that it is not easy for a person's reputation to accumulate, but if it is ruined, sometimes there are only one or two sentences.

"The son is not filial, and he will make amends to his grandmother later." Lu Zhiyuan bowed down, got up and said, "My father always taught his son that those who are officials must be worthy of the court and the people. The livelihood of Anyang is difficult, and the earthquake has occurred, and his son, as a magistrate, naturally does not dare to take it lightly. ”

This means that eh, I don't miss my family, isn't this the emperor's order, and I'm also winning glory for my family outside.

Qiao's filial piety called, and Lu Zhiyuan replied with a loyal word.

Qiao Shi collected his tears, covered his lips and smiled, "Why are we still talking outside, hurry up and enter the house, the old lady is waiting." ”

Lu Zhiyuan said hello, and Luo Shi supported Qiao's left and right, and the three of them talked and laughed and went to the house, looking like a scene of mother and son.

After entering the mansion, Lu Zhiyuan and Luo followed Qiao to the upper room to greet the old lady, while Bai Susu and the subordinates were led directly to their respective courtyards by a grandmother.

Bai Susu divided a small courtyard, in an inconspicuous place in Lufu, which is also called Hefeng Courtyard.

The yard is much bigger than her in Anyang, Bai Susu looked around, very satisfied, although not too concerned, but there are all the things that should be there.

She knew very little about the Lu family in the capital, when she came back in the last life, the old lady had died of illness, Qiao's fight overthrew the Qiu family, and was in charge of the Lu family, Lu Zhiyuan had a bad relationship with the Qiao family, and he didn't want to live with them, so he led Bai Susu to live in the capital courtyard, until the Lu family had an accident and Lu Zhiyuan was degraded.

After driving for such a long time, Bai Susu's body was also very tired, so she instructed Mingxiang and Chunlan not to disturb her, and went into the house and fell asleep on the bed.

When she woke up at night, it was already dark, and Ming Xiang came back with her food, and by the way, she told her that Lu Zhiyuan might not come over tonight.

Bai Susu nodded, thinking that Lu Zhiyuan had just come back, and when the family saw each other, it was naturally going to be tearful for a while.

The meals in the kitchen are according to the regulations, four dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetarian combinations.

Bai Susu tasted it and felt that the taste was very satisfying, so he couldn't help but eat more.

The first day of entering the Lu Mansion passed in peace.

As the night deepened, Zhu Ping in the garden carried a lantern to lead the way, "Second master, are we going to Aunt Bai's side?" ”

Lu Zhiyuan paused, although he really wanted to go to see Aunt Bai, but he couldn't go over. As soon as he came back, many pairs of eyes in the house were fixed on him, and on the first day, he went to a concubine's room, and immediately pushed Aunt Bai to the cusp.

"Go to the study." He spoke.

Zhu Ping answered, and went directly to the other direction with the lantern.

Qiao Shi leaned on the couch, the maid behind her was pressing her head, she closed her eyes and asked, "Where did the second young master go at night?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the second young master went to the study just now." The maid replied softly.

Qiao Shi didn't speak, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he said, "How about the things that asked you to check?" ”

"The slave maid has checked clearly, the second young master has only had the second grandmother by his side in the past few years, and in March last year, the second grandmother was seriously ill and accepted an aunt into the door, surnamed Bai, from a mountain village near Anyang." The maid told the news she had found.

Qiao Shi opened his eyes, and glanced at the maid in front of him lightly, "Just find these?" ”

The maid's face turned pale with fright, recalled the information in her mind, and continued, "But the slave maid thinks there is something very strange, that Aunt Bai is mediocre, but there is a very beautiful maid by her side, called Qingniang. ”

Qiao's hearing the words fell into deep thought, and after a while, he smiled again, Luo Shi obviously took a concubine for Lu Zhiyuan, but in fact, he found an ordinary-looking village girl, thinking that Lu Zhiyuan didn't take a fancy to it, and he was worried that Luo Zhi would harm the beautiful girl, so he raised it in Aunt Bai's yard.

She turned to ask about the others, "Where is the fourth young master?" ”

Qiao's has a total of one son and one daughter, Lu Zhibo ranks fourth, and there is a fifth lady Lu Yixue, and the two are dragon and phoenix fetuses.

The maid paused when she heard this, and then whispered, "The fourth young master went out with a few classmates and friends today and didn't return. ”

Qiao Shi stretched out his hand and slapped the coffee table next to him, shaking the cup above to make a crisp sound, and the maid's head hung lower.

"Didn't you let you look at the fourth young master, messing around with those fox friends and dog friends all day long!"

The maids in the room all quickly knelt down, and for a while there was silence, leaving only Qiao's angry voice leaking out of her anger.

Lu Zhiyuan is the eldest son of the third room, he was a teacher of Confucianism when he was young, and later he practiced outside for a few years, and he was rewarded for his meritorious work in disaster relief a while ago.

The more Qiao Shi thought about it, the more angry he became, the woman from the Meng family had been dead for so many years, but everyone in the house was reading it, saying how good she was, every time he thought of this, Qiao Shi felt angry.

"Who my mother?" A crisp voice sounded, and then the door opened, and a beautiful girl entered.

The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a white porcelain bowl in her hand, and with a smile in her apricot eyes, she walked over, "My daughter has seen her mother." ”

The person who came was the fifth lady Lu Yixue, and Qiao's smiled when she saw her daughter, "Xue'er is here, come and talk to her mother." ”

Lu Yixue is Qiao's daughter, white skin and beautiful appearance, from childhood to adulthood, whether it is poetry, music, music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is proficient in everything, and she has won the favor of the old lady in the house, making her mother very embarrassed in the house.

"My daughter just went to the kitchen to stew bird's nest white fungus soup for you, you can try it." Lu Yixue handed the white porcelain bowl to Qiao Shi as she spoke.

Qiao's heart ironed, her daughter's filial piety made her happier than anything else, "It's good to let someone do this kind of thing, how can you do it yourself, your hands are not doing rough work in the kitchen." ”

Lu Yixue's hands have been carefully cared for since she was a child, her skin is really as white as snow, and Qiao's feels very happy every time she sees it.

"No matter how precious my daughter's hand is, it is no match for her mother, and she smiles and makes her daughter happy." Lu Yixue said with a smile, "If you can make your mother happy every day, my daughter would rather boil bird's nest soup for you every day." ”

Qiao's satisfaction was overflowing when she was coaxed by these words, she reached out to take the bowl, lowered her head and tasted it, only to feel that her mouth was filled with a sweet taste.

After Qiao's finished eating, Lu Yixue asked people to clean up the empty bowls, and then asked, "Why is Mother Shicai unhappy?" ”

When she mentioned this, Qiao Shi felt a fire in her heart, and her face sank, she just wanted to speak, but she looked at the people in the room again, and waved them all back.

"Because of my brother?" Lu Yixue smiled.

She thought that Qiao's angry and corrupt appearance must be because of the eldest son Lu Zhiyuan. After all, everyone knows what Lu Zhibo has been like all these years, and he has long been angry for him.

"When he comes back now, the old lady's eyes are glowing, you didn't see it today, and the praise is so high that you want to reduce everyone else to the dust." Qiao's teeth itch when he says it.
