Chapter 028: Six Years of Fortune
When he went to court, Mu Enhou rushed home as if he was fleeing, and as soon as he got home, he angrily found Lu's family, pointed to Lu's nose and scolded: "You short-sighted woman, look at the good things you have done!" ”
The Lu family was aggrieved in her heart, and she was not alone in treating Fang Qingluo, who in the family didn't step on a few feet? Even the old lady acquiesced, why did she be blamed for the accident? However, when Lu Shi saw that Mu Enhou was angry, he didn't dare to complain more, so he could only choke up and say, "Master Hou, I didn't think it well and caused you to be affected." ”
Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mu Enhou was angry, and said coldly: "It's not just a burden, do you know that this morning the pilgrimage picked on my mistakes and reprimanded me in public, and also fined me for three months. How do you let me go out and meet people? People outside are saying that I am so poor that I don't even let go of an orphan girl's fortune! ”
Lu was shocked and blurted out: "The emperor actually stood up for Fang Qingluo? ”
Mu Enhou glared at Lu Shi fiercely and said, "Woman's opinion! You did that and it was exposed in public, and the queen didn't directly punish you, but she just saved some face for our house, but that grace was arranged by the emperor, and Yu Lu was also sent by the emperor, aren't you despising the imperial power by doing this? ”
Lu Shi shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Not in the future, I will also say hello to the other people in the mansion and ask them to be more restrained, and besides, the queen gave Fang Qingluo the powerful palace maid beside her." ”
Mu Enhou frowned tightly, and said for a while: "Not only Fang Qingluo, but also other favors, don't treat them lightly, maybe it is the queen's eyes on our mansion." He sighed and asked again, "You said that this incident was deliberately done by Fang Qingluo?" ”
Lu Shi showed a look of resentment, gritted his teeth and said: "It must be her, she deliberately got the clothes I prepared wet, and brought her new clothes and said that it was too late, so she put them directly on the outside of the old clothes, she had planned all this a long time ago." I really couldn't see it before, but this is really a dog that bites and doesn't bark! ”
"Okay, don't mess with her recently, take her out to some banquets when she gets better, and show kindness in front of outsiders, you caused this matter, you have to find a way to come back!" Moon Hou snapped.
Lu opened her mouth, a little disapproving in her heart, she felt that a graceful son was also worthy of participating in the banquet of the noble ladies in the capital? But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
"Yes, I do."
Liuzhu Curie, Fang Qingluo sat on the bed, Gu's mother brought the medicine to her to drink, this medicine was prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace the day before, the effect of the medicine is naturally mild and effective, she herself added a few flavors of medicine to it, and the effect is even better.
Fang Qingluo drank it in one gulp, so that her body could recover faster.
Peony was stunned next to her, "Miss, don't you feel bitter?" Don't you want to eat one of this preserves? ”
Fang Qingluo shook his head, "Good medicine is bitter, it's nothing, even if it's candied fruit, sweets are easy to affect the efficacy of the medicine, just bring me a cup of water to rinse your mouth." ”
Peony answered and went to serve water, Ruizhu next to him couldn't help but look at Fang Qingluo a few more times, and said in his heart that this Chunjia county lord is not so straw as rumored, right?
After Fang Qingluo rinsed his mouth, there was a steward outside who asked to see him, Fang Qingluo asked Gu's mother to meet someone, and when Gu's mother came back, she looked happy, and she also had a bag of silver in her hand.
"Miss, the steward said that they were negligent when they didn't give you the money before, and they will send it every month in the future, and this time I will make up for you the previous year's money." Gu's mother said with a smile.
Fang Qingluo snorted lazily, didn't even look at the silver, and asked slowly, "Mom, how many years have I been in this mansion?" ”
Gu's mother was stunned, she didn't understand why Fang Qingluo suddenly asked about this, "It's been almost six years." ”
The corners of Fang Qingluo's mouth twitched slightly, "Later, you go and tell the steward, just say that it has been six years since I came to the house." ”
Gu's mother understood, and asked with some concern: "Miss, will this force them to be anxious?" ”
"Anyway, I've torn my face, I'm polite to them, won't they hate me and resent me? Besides, this is also forced out by them, it should be mine, why can't I get it back? It's good that you don't count the interest. In the future, there will be no peace in this house, so it is safer to have more money in your hand. ”
Fang Qingluo said indifferently, but Ruizhu next to him nodded when he heard it, Fang Qingluo was really not as sloppy as rumored, she was also a little more comfortable, if she was asked to follow the owner of the wreck, she was really a little unwilling in her heart.
"Okay, I'll listen to Miss." Gu's mother gritted her teeth, and she also had the courage to go out, and when she went out, she relayed Fang Qingluo's words to the steward.
The steward shook his body when he heard this, and his face was a little red, probably caused by holding his breath and not being able to send it, but the steward in front had just been sent away, he naturally knew why, where would he offend Fang Qingluo at this time, and forced a smile on his face, and said, "Mama Gu, please tell Miss Qingluo, I will go to the eldest lady and handle the matter for Miss Qingluo." ”
In the afternoon, the steward did bring a box of silver tickets, but a large bruise on his forehead. After that, Peony went to inquire, and it turned out that the steward was smashed on the head by the eldest lady with a teacup, and the eldest lady also smashed a set of valuable tea sets, and it is said that the ping-pong rang in her room for a long time.
Fang Qingluo handed the box containing the silver ticket to Ruizhu and said, "Sister Ruizhu, you will take care of the silver money in our courtyard in the future." ”
Ruizhu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Mother Gu is the nurse of the county lord, so let Mother Gu take care of it." ”
Fang Qingluo motioned for Gu's mother and Peony to go out first, and said, "Gu's mother has too many things to take care of, I can't bear to let her work so hard when she is old, you are smart and capable, I can rest assured that you are in charge of the money." ”
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Ruizhu accepted the wooden box and said, "Don't worry, the county lord, I will definitely take care of these silver coins." ”
Fang Qingluo burst out laughing, this smile made her originally pale face have more color, as if a delicate flower had bloomed, even Ruizhu was stunned, she hadn't found that the county lord of Chunjia was so good-looking before, no wonder the palace was always "put on makeup" in the past.
"Sister Ruizhu, you said that if you stay with me for a while, will you go back to the palace in the future?" Fang Qingluo suddenly asked.
Ruizhu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Of course not, Niangniang gave me to the county lord, I will be the county lord's person in my life, and Niangniang will also transfer me from the palace to the slave, it is estimated that in a few days, my deed of sale will be delivered to you." ”
"Then are you unwilling?" Fang Qingluo looked at Ruizhu as he spoke, staring straight into her eyes, Ruizhu's heart tightened, she couldn't say why, she was a little nervous to be looked at by Fang Qingluo, as if she was completely seen through. She has been by the queen's side for four years, and she has seen many big scenes and big shots, how can she be afraid of a little girl? However, Fang Qingluo's gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, and she even felt that Fang Qingluo's eyes did not look like a little girl who was only fourteen years old at all.
"I was a little reluctant before." Since it will be seen through, Ruizhu feels that it is better to be honest. "But now that he sees that the county lord is not as rumored, Ruizhu feels that there is nothing wrong with it."
Fang Qingluo laughed and said, "The rumors may not be all false, I'm just enlightened." You used to be a celebrity next to the queen's mother, and now you follow me with a favor, even if you are unwilling to do so, you can understand, but I hope you can stay by my side well, I will not treat my own people lightly, and you will slowly understand in the future. Instead of being cautious in the palace, it is better to seek prosperity and stability for yourself in the future, what do you think? ”
Ruizhu understood that Fang Qingluo was reminding her that if she became Fang Qingluo's "own person", Fang Qingluo would naturally not treat her badly, and it would not be impossible to point her to a good family in the future, and it would not be impossible for her to be prosperous for a lifetime.
Ruizhu quickly weighed it, Fang Qingluo was right, you have to be careful every step in the palace, it is really tiring, and she will lose her head one day, even if she is careful step by step, but if the palace maid is either favored by the emperor and sealed the position, or she is left by the master to be the housekeeper, it will not marry for the rest of her life to serve the master, or she can only be released from the palace after she is twenty-five years old. In her case, she will probably stay in the palace as a housekeeper, but if she lives with her head trembling all her life, she is indeed not as comfortable as outside.
And he is not married, and he has no children of his own, and his old age is extremely bleak.
"The county lord is right, in the past, Ruizhu didn't see it far enough, and in the future, Ruizhu will serve the county lord well, and there will be no second thoughts!" Ruizhu thought clearly and said.
She knows very well that the people sent out by the queen will not want to return, since she can't go back to the queen, there is no doubt that the master is the county lord, so when she needs it in the future, she should put the county lord first, and even some things should be hidden from the queen for the county lord.
Fang Qingluo saw that Ruizhu had figured it out, and nodded secretly in his heart, and then slowly observed and observed in the future, and had some benefits, so that he didn't have to worry about Ruizhu backwatering.
"With Sister Ruizhu's words, I'm relieved." Fang Qingluo said with a smile.
Ruizhu hurriedly said: "The county lord should stop calling me sister, it really torments me, you can just call me Ruizhu." ”
Fang Qingluo smiled and didn't insist, "Na Ruizhu, it's convenient for you to go out of the house, I'll go to Dongshi in the next few days, I plan to buy a few shops to collect rent, this money is a waste of money, it's not as good as money to make money, my body will cost a lot in the future, it's really not good if I don't plan for myself." ”
Ruizhu saw that Fang Qingluo actually handed over such a big matter to her, and he was grateful and convinced to Fang Qingluo in his heart, "Yes, the county lord takes care of his body, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”
After the two finished talking, Fang Qingluo went to sleep for a while, and when he woke up, Peony came to report: "Miss, the eldest lady is waiting for you in the flower hall, it's been here for a while." ”
