After Lu Wenping returned home, he slowly turned from the initial embarrassment to worry, sitting on the chair in the room and sighing.

At this time, Lu Luo and Mrs. Lu came in from outside talking and laughing, and hurriedly came over when they saw him sitting on a chair with a sad face.

"Rokuro, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lu, who was wrapped in crimson satin, touched Lu Wenping's forehead worriedly, and said to herself: "This is not hot!" ”

Lu Luo asked: "Isn't Xianggong Mo having any troubles in business?" If there is, the concubine will go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to ask to see the young lady and ask the prince to help the minister. ”

The young lady of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion refers to Yu Shi, the wife of Li Wenhao, who served as the county commander in Anping. When Li Wenhao's term of office in Anping expired, Lu Luo went to the county government every day to beg the Yu family to take Lu Wenping with him, and she knew very well that if she didn't seize this opportunity, Lu Wenping could only be a small official here for the rest of her life. But Yu Shi was unmoved, she didn't think Lu Wenping was a rare talent.

Many times begged but couldn't, Lu Luo couldn't help but be a little annoyed, once she knelt down to beg Yu happened to Li Wenhao bumped in, when she learned that Lu Luo asked, she felt that it was not a big deal, and although Lu Wenping had no great talent, but he was quite serious in doing things, so he agreed.

Later, Li Wenhao was transferred to Jiangqian to take Lu Wenping with him, and later the Jiangnan incident, Li Wenhao's grandfather was afraid that his grandson would be affected, so he used his relationship to transfer him back to the capital, and Lu Wenping also followed him into the capital that he dreamed of coming, and his family naturally followed him to the capital.

Lu Wenping sighed, "I'm just afraid that my official is about to come to an end?" ”

"What? Why? Mrs. Lu was taken aback, this old lady's addiction is not enough, why is her son's official about to come to an end?

Lu Luo's heart couldn't help but rise, she wanted to climb the young master's bed but didn't make it, married such a useless little official and finally became a Beijing official, she didn't have a lady yet, why did he become an official? "What's wrong with Xianggong? But the affairs in the hall are too difficult to manage? "Everyone in the capital knows that Fanwutang is the yamen with the most oil and water, and who doesn't envy her good luck for the sisters who used to be on an errand together?

"Yes or no." Lu Wenping shook his head and sighed, "I met Fahrenheit today." ”

"Fahrenheit?" Mrs. Lu and Lu Luo were stunned, glanced at each other, and it took a long time to realize that what Lu Wenping said about Hua was referring to his wife Hua Ronghua, who had divorced.

Mrs. Lu snorted, "Don't worry, Liulang, wait for my mother to burn two pillars of incense to get rid of the bad luck on your body." ”

Lu Luo asked strangely, "Where did the husband meet her?" Mo wasn't on the road, but shouldn't she be in a carriage? When they arrived in the capital, they had also heard about Hua Ronghua's deeds, so Lu Luo didn't think that Hua Ronghua would walk on the street with his head out.

"It's not on the street, it's in the Fanwutang." Lu Wenping's gaze was a little complicated, who would have thought that the woman who was not married to him at the beginning would now become the prince's guest?

"Fanwutang? Hasn't her deacons been removed? "It's a little bad for Lu Luo. are all women who have married the same man, and they go in and out of the East Palace to go to the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that they have earned their net worth, and even the current in-laws have to provide for her, but, on the other hand, they nest in this small courtyard of shared housing every day and calculate the man's money.

"Who can tell the story of the heavenly family?" Lu Wenping recalled the attitude of Fuxi, the head of the Fanwu Hall, and the prince's staff towards Hua Ronghua today, and felt that the prince seemed to have the intention of reappointing her.

Mrs. Lu didn't know what Fanwutang didn't know, so she only scolded and asked, "Liulang, but that slut dragged you down again?" Mother go and scold her to death......"

"Mother!"

"Mother-in-law!" Lu Wenping and Lu Luo spoke at the same time, and they really had a headache for Mrs. Lu, who couldn't figure out the situation.

"Mother, Hua is now Mrs. Zhengsanpin, if you rashly offend her, don't say that your son can't be an official, and you can't even save your life."

Mrs. Lu was taken aback, "If you don't just scold her, why don't you ......?"

"She's the Holy One's Decree!" Lu Luo said on the side: "Isn't it equivalent to scolding the saint if you scold her, and if you don't get it right, it will be a big disaster to rob the family and wipe out the clan!" Even Jinbao (Jiang Lansheng's son, now Mrs. Lu's only grandson) can't survive. ”

As soon as she heard that it might endanger her grandson, Mrs. Lu was embarrassed, and then she heard her grandson's cry from the yard, and she scolded directly and went out, "It must be Mrs. Feng's grandson who is bullying my family Jinbao again!" See that I do not teach him. Soon, there was the sound of two old ladies scolding each other outside.

The Feng family is also the head of the six products of the household department, because the house on this side of the capital near the imperial city is expensive to death, so it is generally a few shared houses, this two-entry house is shared by the Feng family and the Lu family, it is said that the two should be very familiar with each other in the same department, but because Lu Wenping was selected to do the account of the Fan Wu Tang, the Feng family has been looking for the Lu family's stubble, and the Feng family also has an old lady who spoils her grandson without bounds, so the two old ladies often scolded because of their grandson's fights.

Listening to the scolding outside, Lu Wenping sighed and felt a splitting headache.

Lu Luo asked with concern: "Xianggong, do you want me to go out and persuade my mother-in-law?" ”

Lu Wenping waved his hand, a little absent-minded.

"Xianggong, why don't we go and beg Mrs. Hua to let her give us a way to live." Lu Luo suggested.

"Who asked her?" Lu Wenping's face darkened, if it was an irrelevant person, maybe he would have begged cheekily, but Hua Ronghua was the woman he divorced, the person he didn't want, and now let him beg him, he doesn't have this face!

Lu Luo also guessed Lu Wenping's concerns, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, it is naturally inconvenient for us to go, but isn't there someone in our family who is the most suitable?" ”

"Lu Yuanniang?" Hearing Lao Wu Tou say the name of the visitor, Hua Ronghua was really surprised. Lu Yuanniang is Lu Wenping's daughter, but she has nothing to do with herself, how could she suddenly come to the door.

"Who is it?" The old lady couldn't help but ask when she saw Hua Ronghua so surprised.

Old Wu Tou saw Hua Ronghua's strange face and was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he said, "If the young lady doesn't want to see me, she will be driven away." ”

"Hey, something else, you take her to the hall, and I'll go over here." Hua Ronghua said and walked a few steps out of the door, then stopped and turned back to the old lady and said: "Yuan Niang is my ex-husband's daughter, and I don't know what she is looking for me to do, but I came so late, there must be something, I'll go and take a look, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Hua Ronghua felt that there was nothing unpleasant for her to see Lu Yuanniang, so she still talked to Mrs. Lu, lest she know afterwards that she thought she had any bad intentions.

The old lady's face really became very bad, and she didn't stop Hua Ronghua from going to see someone, but she turned her head and called Mama Qin to follow her to take a look.

"If the slave and maid go, then who will serve you and the two little boys?"

The old lady glanced at the two children who were concentrating on playing with the blocks, "Go and call Jin Cui." ”

In the hall, Hua Ronghua saw the timid girl in front of her, who was almost as thin as a lightning bolt, not tall, with yellow hair, and wearing an ill-fitting dress, couldn't believe it, "Are you Yuan Niang?" How did you ...... "Skinny like this?"

Yuan Niang seemed to be very happy to see Hua Ronghua, opened her mouth and wanted to call it, remembered the instructions of her father and stepmother, pursed her lips, and blessed her body and said: "Mrs. Hua, I'll give a gift!" As he spoke, he put the bamboo basket he was carrying on the ground on the side and explained: "This is from a hen raised by my grandmother, and my mother said to bring it to you to taste." ”

"Leave it alone, come on, come and sit!" Hua Ronghua took her hand and walked to the chair next to her, but found that her palm was very rough, and couldn't help asking: "Look at your hand, you don't do much work at home, right?" ”

"Well, after Aunt Jiang died, my father wanted to invite someone to do the work again, but my stepmother said that I would have to give people monthly money even if I spent food, and my grandmother didn't agree to it, so I didn't look for it, and then I did all the work at home."

Hua Ronghua reacted, Aunt Jiang was referring to Jiang Lan, remembering that she was still a vigorous and fresh woman when she crossed over to see her, and she didn't expect that she would be dead after not seeing her for a few years.

"But that can't make you a human being, can it? Do they do all the work at home? Hua Ronghua was a little distressed, the little girl who gave her the eggs hidden in her arms shouldn't have suffered this kind of hardship!

Yuan Niang shook her head, "It's nothing to do some work, and you can still eat while you are cooking." He pursed his lips and seemed to be a little difficult to speak, "That, Mrs. Hua......"

"You still call me Hua Niang." Hua Ronghua interrupted her, "Your father and mother called you here, right?" What did he call you to do? ”

Lu Yuanniang stammered and said what her parents had confessed, and finally asked, "Hua Niang, will my father's official really be successful?" ”

Hua Ronghua was a little speechless, is this Lu Wenping afraid that he will make him bad behind his back? Then why didn't he come himself? knew that he was good to Yuan Niang, so he pushed the child forward, it was true!

She smiled and said to Yuan Niang: "Don't worry, as long as your father doesn't make any mistakes at work, he won't be an official." As she spoke, she suddenly heard Yuan Niang's stomach scream twice.

Hua Ronghua was stunned, then raised his hand to bring the pastries on the table, "Yuan Niang, try this lotus cake, it's newly made in the morning." ”

Yuan Niang was a little embarrassed, but she also knew that there would be no more food for her when she went home, so she whispered thank you and ate it.

Hua Ronghua looked at Yuan Niang's gobbling up a little and couldn't help but feel sour in the bottom of her heart, she really has a stepmother and a stepfather, obviously Lu Wenping has been promoted to an official and has a good fortune, but her daughter still can't eat.

When sending Yuan Niang out, Hua Ronghua suddenly stopped her and asked, "I still lack a helper in Fanwutang, can you go?" ”

Yuan Niang was a little surprised, and looked at her directly, "Hua Niang? ”

"However, if you show up like me, I'm afraid that you won't be able to marry in the future." Hua Ronghua regretted it a little, wouldn't this delay others for a lifetime?

Who knew that Yuan Niang's eyes lit up when she heard that it was not good to marry, "Hua Niang, do you follow you to do things, and no one will dare to marry me in the future?" ”

"Uh...... "Why are you so happy?"

"Grandma always said that she was going to sell me, and my mother said that she would marry me to a big official as a concubine, if no one really dares to marry me, it would be great."

Lu Yuanniang's overjoyed attitude really surprised Hua Ronghua, and she originally wanted to retract her words, but finally had to say: "Then you go back and ask your father, if he agrees, let him take you to Fanwutang tomorrow." ”

Hua Ronghua watched Mo An's car turn out of the street with Yuan Niang's figure, and he sighed and returned to the back house, but he didn't expect the old lady to train her as soon as she entered the house.

"You let her learn these business things, and in the future, which serious family will dare to marry her, aren't you wrong about her?"

Seeing Mama Qin go to the front hall, Hua Ronghua knew that it was the old lady who ordered her, and she couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved when she heard her say this, "But she's very happy!" ”

"What is most important for a child to know?" The old lady gave her a blank look, "If you really have the heart to help her, it is better to let the grandmother next to the crown princess help*, and you will not be disliked when you come to your in-law's house in the future!" ”

The old lady's words couldn't help but make Hua Ronghua's eyes light up, and she looked at the old lady and said with a smile: "Yuan Niang is looking for me, I thought you had to be angry!" ”

"Hmph, I'm still going to deal with a teenager?"
