Chapter 45: Twenty-Three Little Years
In the next few days, although Lu Dingyuan said that he was sick and took leave and did not go to court, the excerpts to be reviewed and approved by the council hall were still delivered to the prime minister's office on time every day.
After Lu Dingyuan handled his official duties in the small study room of the Frostfall Courtyard every day, he spent the rest of his time either personally teaching the villain to read and write, or accompanying him to the Summer Courtyard to practice martial arts.
Lin Qian's injuries were healed after a few days of recuperation, and the villain was convinced of the previous excuse that Lin Qian was not in the mansion, and the interrogation was as if it had never happened.
On Lu Wang's birthday, Mu Weiwei prepared a table full of dishes with the help of Ruan Mama, and Lu Qingbai ingeniously prepared a family painting that he carefully sketched, which amused Lu Wang's heart.
Mu Weiwei still made a set of winter clothes and a pair of cotton shoes for Lu Wang's family as in previous years, and Lu Qingbai also got a pair of tiger head shoes on his grandmother's birthday, not to mention how happy he was.
Lu Dingyuan also deliberately made an early duty in order to congratulate Lu Wang's birthday, but he didn't go home alone, and he also brought Xu Mingen and Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu has seen Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, and has met Mrs. Sister-in-law."
Xiao Yu is a cold-handed military general raised by Lu Dingyuan, tall and rough in appearance, he is very difficult to mess with when he looks at it, and his voice is as loud as a bell, which has nothing to do with his literary name.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, Mrs. Lu, Ming'en is here to bother again." Xu Mingen also greeted the Lu family afterwards.
"Wherever you are, it's all your own family, so let's get into the table." Father Lu beckoned people to sit down with a smile on his face, and Mu Weiwei helped Lu Wang to sit down in the main seat before returning to Lu Dingyuan to sit down.
Lu Qingbai was already amused by Xu Mingen in his arms, and even Xiao Yu, who looked uneasy to mess with, showed his interest in the villain, poking his little face to play.
Facing his son's aggrieved and pitiful hungry eyes, Mu Weiwei touched the man next to him with his elbow and motioned for him to rescue his son.
Lu Qingbai ran to his grandmother as soon as he returned to his seat, he was really afraid of the two uncles.
As for Sheng Qingyi, Lu Wang's family was impatient to see her, so he simply let Mu Weiwei relieve her grounding, but he didn't let her sit down.
After three rounds of wine, the banquet was dispersed, Lu Dingyuan led Xu Mingen and Xiao Yu to the study, Mu Weiwei accompanied Lu Wang's family to talk in Guyu Courtyard, Lu Qingbai was tricked by Xu Mingen to drink wine at the banquet, and at this moment he was already dizzy and was taken back to the Frost Courtyard by Mama Ruan.
Sheng Qingyi was so angry that she jumped to her feet when she learned that Lu Wang's banquet was not allowed to serve at today's banquet, and cursed many times in her heart that the old woman would not die well, and only then calmed down her anger a little.
Mama Du has never wanted to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion since she returned to the palace, and after learning the news from Sheng Tianyou, Sheng Qingyi immediately asked people to inquire about the reason, but Mama Du was almost humiliated by Lu Dingyuan and gave the groom in the mansion.
[System,I can't finish the task you posted.,After the last brush of goodwill, my internship progress was deducted.,Is there still a need to do this task?] ]
Yes, Sheng Qingyi wanted to mess up, after the favorability of the several planes she worked so hard to complete was deducted by the control panel of the Time and Space Administration, Sheng Qingyi wanted to give up the task for a while, but when she thought that she would not be able to break free from this plane if she gave up, she was unwilling.
[I have already communicated the host's needs to the Temporal and Space Administration, according to the rules of fast wear, it is impossible to interrupt the mission unless the host is dead, please do not give up easily.] ]
The host that had achieved outstanding results encountered Waterloo all of a sudden, and the system had no other way than to issue a mission to Sheng Qingyi according to the requirements of the Time and Space Administration, and the help it could provide to the host was really limited.
[So what do you want me to do?] I can't even get close to Lu Dingyuan's body, and it's even more foolish to get favorability. ]
There were no uncontrollable variables in the previous planes, so as long as she was careful, those men would take the bait themselves, but this plane was the opposite!
[I have applied to the Temporal and Space Administration to change the host's mission mechanism, as long as the host completes the specified task, it can be converted into friendship, and it is estimated that it will be approved soon.] ]
[Okay, I'll trust you one more time, or we'll both have to finish the game.] ]
Sheng Qingyi regained her thoughts, now that the New Year is approaching, Lu Dingyuan will definitely be very busy, and she has to find a chance to be alone with Lu Dingyuan.
"Xia Zhu, I heard that Mrs. summoned the stewards of the shop to reconcile the accounts a few days ago? Do you hear any rumors? What was the attitude of the stewards towards Madame? ”
"Madame Hui, the slave also passed by the outer courtyard that day and took a look from afar, Madame was very polite to the stewards, that is, I heard that the stewards left the Li brothers in the summer courtyard with the stewards before leaving, and the people in the house said that this is the Madame cultivating her own henchmen to meddle in the property purchased by the lord."
Xia Zhu is Sheng Qingyi's eldest maid who was transferred from the county lord's mansion to replace Cai Lian, although it is not as long as Cai Lian to accompany Sheng Qingyi, but Xia Zhu was given to Sheng Qingyi by Sheng Tianyou, and the degree of loyalty is very high.
And this person has an advantage that Sheng Qingyi likes very much, that is, he is absolutely obedient to her orders, unlike Cailian, who is always looking forward and backward.
"Idiot! Sure enough, it's a country woman with little knowledge! In a hurry, you can't hide your face in a hurry to dominate the lord's property so quickly? ”
"Xia Zhu, you go and walk around with the stewards, find out the truth of this matter, and if necessary, you can win them over, my big restaurant has a lot of places to take them in."
In such a hurry, she wanted to swallow Lu Dingyuan's industry, and she arranged two country men who had never seen much of the world, which annoyed the stewards under Lu Dingyuan, and she wanted to see how this Mrs. Lu Xiang's wife ended.
In the twenty-third year, according to the custom of Dasheng, every household should start to sweep the house, and the prime minister's house began to clean early in the morning.
Every corner of each courtyard must be cleaned up, Uncle Wu was supervising early in the morning, Lu Qingbai was also busy in the small study of the Frost Drop Courtyard, Lu Dingyuan went to the court early, and Mu Weiwei accompanied Lu Wang's family to clean up and arrange the small Buddha hall in Guyu Courtyard.
There is an old custom in the Lu family, the day of the new year is to worship the ancestors to recite the scriptures and pray for blessings, in previous years, when in Shangtang Village, Mu Weiwei accompanied Lu Wang's fasting for a day, copying scriptures and books to worship.
Ginkgo walked in with a cage and said, "Old lady, madam, Mrs. Side came over, saying that she knew that the old lady was decorating the small Buddha hall, and she came to present a white jade Guanyin statue to be enshrined in the small Buddha hall." ”
Lu Wangshi took the gauze handed by Mu Weiwei and hung it in front of the Buddha statue, and sent her away casually, "You went back to her and told her that there was no need, my temple was too small to afford her noble white jade Guanyin statue." ”
Mu Weiwei knew that her mother-in-law was because she didn't want to see Sheng Qingyi, and she still tactfully neutralized Lu Wang's statement.
"Ginkgo, you went back to Mrs. Fang, and said that today my mother and I want to fast and copy the scriptures and not see the guests, she has a heart, but the small Buddha hall has ancestors in addition to the Buddha statue, and it is really not suitable to worship the Guanyin statue anymore."
"Yes, the slave will go back to Mrs. Side." Ginkgo biloba picked up the sewage and walked out.
