Chapter 37: The Good Things That Toss the Second Room
Early in the morning, what is Lu Shuyao doing here? Demonstrations?
The disgust in Yin's heart came like a mountain of people, but if he didn't see it, he seemed to be afraid of her, so he said coldly: "Let her in!" ”
The maid turned around and went out, and after a while, she saw Lu Shuyao coming over.
Lu Shuyao saw that in addition to Yin's and Cai Yulan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there were two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls in the house, one sitting next to Yin's family, and the other standing aside.
The girl sitting has a pretty face, a delicate figure, a red gold lotus hairpin on her head, and a five-point resemblance between her eyebrows and the Yin family, obviously this person is the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Mingzhu.
The girl standing on the side was delicate, not as radiant as Xie Mingzhu, wearing a half-new white flower skirt, standing with her head down, looking well-behaved and timid.
This is the second daughter, Xie Mingxue.
Lu Shuyao smiled and saluted: "Mother, sister-in-law, two sisters are good." ”
"Little sister-in-law, sit down!" Xie Mingzhu was the first to speak, smiling.
Yin was stunned, and secretly pinched Xie Mingzhu, she was trying to let Lu Shuyao stand and talk, so as to annoy Lu Shuyao's majesty, how could she think that her daughter would turn her elbow out and let her sit?
"Thank you, Mother." Lu Shuyao sat down in the chair next to Cai Yulan.
The atmosphere was a little awkward all of a sudden, and Xie Mingzhu said: "My sister-in-law has been in the door for so long, we have only met for the first time, so we have to get close!" After lunch, let's go out into the streets. ”
Yin Shi was so angry that he pinched Xie Mingzhu again, and he didn't smile: "Your sister-in-law only knelt yesterday, and she hasn't recovered yet!" If you want to go outside, just go with Xue'er, but if you can't do it, just go with your sister-in-law! ”
Xie Mingzhu was pinched by her, and glared at Yin Shi with a pout.
Lu Shuyao saw that the mother and daughter were competing in secret, and she was a little funny, so she only said: "Big sister wants to go shopping, I don't know where I want to go?" ”
"Lunar Tower!" Xie Mingxue, who had been hanging her head silently, suddenly raised her head.
"Uh-huh." Xie Mingzhu's face was full of anticipation, and her eyes were shining as she looked at Lu Shuyao.
Lunar Tower? Yin and Cai Yulan glanced at each other.
The Moon Tower is the favorite place of the young nobles in the capital, and they often try their talents there, which is quite elegant.
Of course, the Moon Tower prides itself on being an elegant place, and naturally it can be entered regardless of nobles or commoners, which is why it seems upright.
However, there is a threshold to enter the Moon Landing Tower, and you have to pay an entrance fee of 30 taels. Generally, the monthly money of aristocratic women is about two taels, but the family will support them to go to the moon tower and give them an entrance fee of thirty taels.
For the aristocracy, thirty taels was nothing.
But for the common people, thirty taels is a few years, or even ten years of living expenses, so the Moon Tower has naturally become an exclusive place for the aristocracy and wealth.
On the first day of every month, the Moon Tower will hold a party, or a talent exchange, or a competition, which is very lively.
Xie Mingzhu and Xie Mingxue also yearn for the Moon Tower, but the family has no money, so Xie Mingzhu thought that instead of spending that money to go in and hang out, it would be better to have a few more hand accessories or clothes, so they haven't been there yet.
When Lu Shuyao heard the word Moon Tower, she smiled, what a coincidence, she had an important matter, and she had to do it in the Moon Tower!
Lu Shuyao said with a smile: "There is nothing to see at this time to go to the Moon Tower, it is better to wait for the first day of next month to go again, and take a look at the excitement." ”
"Then it's settled!" Xie Mingzhu and Xie Mingxue were overjoyed when they heard this.
Lu Shuyao sat in the Jinyu Courtyard for a while and then went back.
Xie Mingzhu held Yin's arm: "Mother, look, I will be able to go to the moon tower soon." ”
Yin Shi said angrily: "If you really want to go, I'll give you thirty taels, what do you want her to do!" ”
"Thirty taels...... I can buy a few good pieces of cloth to make clothes. Xie Mingzhu's eyes widened.
Yin choked, she has always taught her daughter not to be petty, but she can't teach it.
However, there is no way to do it!
In the past, when the Xie family was at its peak, Xie Mingzhu was only four or five years old, and he didn't remember, how could he raise everyone's beautiful bearing.
Later, the Xie family was defeated, and in order to maintain the pomp and circumstance of the family, he could only be frugal in food and clothing, and Xie Mingzhu had no money in his hand, so he developed the problem of taking advantage of it.
"Mother, I'm leaving!" Xie Mingzhu jumped up happily, she had to go back and prepare her clothes for going to the Moon Tower!
"Second sister."
glanced back at Xie Mingxue.
"Hmm." Xie Mingxue hurriedly followed her pace.
Yin Shi watched Xie Mingzhu jump away, and said angrily: "This stinky girl! ”
"Who is the wife scolding?" With a chuckle, the beaded curtain was raised, and a woman in her thirties walked over, "Please Mrs. Ann." ”
"Aunt Guan is here, sit down." Yin said lightly.
This woman is Aunt Guan, another concubine of Master Xie.
The maiden Xie Mingxue, who had just left, was born to her.
Aunt Guan sat down on the circle chair: "When I came in, I saw the eldest lady and the second lady leaving with a smile, and I didn't know what was going on." ”
Ju Xiang rolled her eyes: "When the third grandmother came to ask for peace, she said that she would take the two young ladies to the moon tower at the beginning of next month." ”
"Third grandma? Oh. Aunt Guan frowned lightly, "It's been a few days since I entered the door, and I haven't officially seen it." ”
"What's there to see!" At the mention of Lu Shuyao, Yin gritted his teeth: "Don't mention her!" ”
"But ......" Aunt Guan's eyes flashed slightly.
She naturally knew about the scene yesterday!
didn't rectify Lu Shuyao, but was led by Lu Shuyao, no wonder this housewife was so angry.
"Madam, even if you are angry, I have to say a few words." Aunt Guan frowned and persuaded: "Everything has happened, and everyone comes in if you don't enter the door." No matter how angry you are with her, you can't change it! I don't have to be angry with myself. ”
Yin's face was even more ugly.
Aunt Guan hurriedly said: "Since she is here, then let's make the best use of everything!" ”
"Make the most of it?" Yin was stunned for a moment.
"Yes. The eldest lady is fourteen years old, and the wife has been looking for a matchmaker for a year, but she hasn't found a good family, no matter how poor the Lu family is, it is better than us, and the connections they have made are beyond the reach of the Xie family. At that time, you can ask the Lu family to help pull the strings and find a good marriage for the eldest lady. ”
Yin's mind couldn't help but become lively, this year, she was so worried about her daughter's marriage that her gray hair was about to come out, but the people she liked, people didn't like her daughter, and she liked her daughter, she either thought the family was poor or ugly.
Now listening to Aunt Guan's words, Yin's face immediately eased.
"Now go to the moon tower first, that's just the beginning, slowly, it will be taken out!" Aunt Guan said with a smile.
……
When Lu Shuyao came out of the Golden Jade Courtyard, she said to Dong'er: "You call Xing'er over, I want him to do something important." ”
"What's the matter?" Dong'er looked curious.
"Hmph, it's a good thing to be able to toss Lu Zhen'er and the second room!" Lu Shuyao's eyes flashed with an imperative light.
