Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 131 Lu Xu and Ji's Eve 2
After some introductions, Lu Xu finally knew.

In the living room, apart from their own people, there were a total of five families sitting in the first place of the guests.

The four old ladies all knew old lady Lu from a young age, they studied together to learn female celebrities, and they also left the cabinet on a similar date.

After decades of ups and downs in the world, their status in Nanli Country has undergone tremendous changes:
One married into the Jian family in Jiangnan, and now the Jian family is the richest man in Jiangnan;
One married into a martial arts family and was in charge of water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River;

One married into the Lin family in Qingyang City. It is a bit embarrassing to say that Mrs. Lin is Lin Tingxue's grandmother.

There is also Mrs. Liu Tai, her identity does not need to be introduced further, but she can come here has another hint, that is the decision of the left minister.

And that noble and blessed old lady is the old concubine of Wang Dongling Palace with a different surname, and also the cousin of Mrs. Lu, and she speaks more casually.

The old concubine looked Lu Xu up and down: "This child really grows. The eyebrows, nose, and lips are all modeled after the Lu family, but the eyes are not. Presumably they are inherited from her mother."

"Mrs. Lu Xiang was very low-key during her lifetime. I don't know which family's lady she is."

Madam Lin suddenly opened her mouth, obviously deliberately trying to expose Lu Xu's background, as if she wanted to save some face for her granddaughter.

Mrs. Lu did not answer right away, but said to Lu Xu: "You go to your two older sisters first, and then go to meet the sisters from other families. We elders want to talk about ourselves."

When Lu Xu responded, he said goodbye to the old ladies one by one, turned to look for Lu Yi and Lu Jie, and didn't care about Old Madam Lin's problems at all, whether her mother was born in a family or not, it would not affect her life.

Mrs. Lu watched Lu Xu walk away before saying indifferently: "Xu'er's mother also came from the Bo family, and she was from the same mother as the current Patriarch Bo."

"Why have I never heard that there is a third lady in the Bo family!" Mrs. Liu was very surprised, and suddenly said: "I remembered that the head of the Bo family in the previous generation died of dystocia, but whether the child is dead or alive does not matter." Nobody knows."

"The child was not only born, but also married into our Lu Mansion when he grew up. He kept a low profile just to protect himself, but he still plotted to die early."

"What the old sister means is that Xiao Liuer's wife was murdered."

The old concubine called Lu Wenxiang by her nickname when she was in a hurry, but no one cared about small things, they cared more about Lu Xu's biological mother.

Mrs. Lu said indifferently: "My mother died because of her. The two elder sisters don't want to see this younger sister very much. The biological father also ignored him and threw it to the wet nurse without even mentioning his name. Naturally, he would not talk about this child to outsiders. So no one knows that there is a third lady in the Bo family."

"Xu'er's mother was lonely since she was a child. Fortunately, she didn't go astray. She only lived a stable life for a few years after entering Lu's house. She didn't expect..."

Mrs. Lu suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, it's been so long, and those who should be punished are also punished, and it would be a disservice to bring it up again."

Looking at the conspicuous Lu Xu who was sitting among a group of young girls, he said: "Xu'er suffered a catastrophe back then, and she recovered her life but was lingering in bed for several years. It’s no nonsense to solve it with fists.”

"Isn't this just her father's temperament when he was a teenager? When it comes to her in-law's family in the future, she will naturally restrain herself."

The old concubine had been back to the capital for a while, and had heard a lot of news from the capital, and knew about Lu Xu's grievances with the Lin family, but the children's affairs did not necessarily affect the elders.

Mrs. Nangong seized the opportunity to answer: "When it comes to finding a husband's family for the children, I don't know if your little granddaughter has a family. The granddaughter promises to be my granddaughter-in-law."

"You're late." Mrs. Lu said with a smug smile, "Her father has already secured a marriage for her, and she is the emperor's sponsor, but her father wants to keep her for another two years. I can't bear it when I'm young, and the second is that her old illness was cured, and this body still needs to be recuperated."

After hearing this, Mrs. Nangong sighed regretfully: "It's my grandson who is unlucky, and it's also my fault that I haven't been to Beijing for a long time, and I missed a good marriage."

Mrs. Lu smiled and said nothing, but the old concubine said: "Such a single seedling, even if it is not engaged, it will not be your family's turn. A father will definitely not let her daughter marry far away. Besides, her family has granddaughters. Don’t I have a granddaughter in my family?”

"You have said it earlier."

The old lady of Nangong also had a good temper, and asked the old concubine directly for her granddaughter-in-law.

Lu Xu saw a few grandmothers chatting and laughing below, and lowered his voice: "Fourth sister, fifth sister, will we be like this when we get old?"

"I don't want to marry far away." Lu Jie said angrily, "I'm out alone. If my husband's family treats me badly, wouldn't it be called "every day should not be done" and the land is not working well? It's better to stay in the capital, orderly Who dares to bully me."

"It's better for me to protect nature if I stay in the capital. I'm afraid that others will not dare to marry my two sisters because they are afraid."

Lu Xu heard a little about the second prince, and it is said that he fainted on the spot when he knew that he was going to marry the daughter of the Lu family, so the imperial concubine did not ask to marry Lu Jie.

"They are afraid of you because they have ghosts in their hearts."

Lu Yi sneered coldly: "If they were all like our father, who neither took concubines nor raised concubines secretly, you would beat them up when you have nothing to do."

After hearing this, Lu Jie said without much interest: "Nowadays there is no one like our father, most of the children of the aristocratic families are like that, before they get married, they put two of them in the room, and after they get married, even concubines welcome them in one by one. Think about it." I think that person is dirty."

Regarding this topic, Lu Xu chose to remain silent, otherwise it would involve Fanxing again.

"The world is like this, it's better to marry a reckless man." Lu Yi smiled bitterly: "Although it is not noble, at least it is free and easy, without so many rules."

"..." Lu Xufang was about to speak, when he heard a bold voice: "You three sisters are hiding here and whispering, why don't you pay attention to us."

Looking up, I saw a few girls who were visiting with their grandmother walking towards them. The leading lady was wearing a water-green long gown with arrow sleeves and a sword hanging from her waist. Mingzhu, one can tell her identity at a glance.

"Sorry, we didn't mean to neglect you sisters and sisters."

Lu Yi is the elder sister, she stood up and apologized, asked them to sit down and said: "Just now I heard Nangong girl talking, and found that we couldn't catch up on the conversation at all, some things I hadn't heard of, some words I didn't understand at all, and those strange gestures .”

"You are all Miss Hou Men who don't leave the gate and don't walk through the small gate. I can't blame you for not understanding."

The granddaughter of Mrs. Nangong, Nangongqin said with the attitude of an old Jianghu: "These are the jargon and slang words of the third-rate and nine-religion in the world. As for the gestures, they are the sign language commonly used by water transport. If you haven't been in contact with it, you won't understand it, but I can teach you. Some simple ones may come in handy in the future.”

Nangong Qin taught very seriously and carefully.

Lu Yi, Lu Jie, and several other girls are all learning by hand.

Compared with the girls who were serious about studying, Lu Xu seemed like an outsider who didn't participate, but found it very interesting to watch their clumsy movements.

"Why doesn't Miss Six learn?"

Seeing that Lu Xu hadn't moved, Jian Ruyu thought that she didn't bother to learn this kind of stuff.

Lu Yi explained with a smile: "Miss Jian, don't look at Xuer not doing anything, but she is better than us studying hard for ten days and a half months."

"Don't look at Xu'er as soft and weak, lazily looking like he hasn't had enough sleep, but he's actually quite powerful." Lu Jie pinched Lu Xu's face and said, "Don't talk about the ones who are far away, just say that they turned into snakes a few days ago. Trouble about Kyoto."

"I've also heard about the snake transformation." Nangongqin said excitedly: "It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince and Fanxing, the first son of Nanli Kingdom, jointly solved the problem."

"..." Lu Xu had a bad premonition, and he couldn't stop Lu Jie quickly: "You must not know that the snake first appeared in our house..."

"It was the servants who discovered the snake first." Lu Xu spoke before Lu Jie, and gave another answer: "It just so happened that my father was at home at the time, and he temporarily trapped the snake in the courtyard, so that the snake didn't escape to the courtyard. In the nearby waters." Her foot touched Lu Jie lightly.

Lu Jie understood, "Oh yes, that's it. The gap in the ground where the snake came out of the ground was completely closed two days ago."

"Snakes broke out of your house." Nangongqin said excitedly, "You can take us to that yard to have a look, and I can play for several years in the future."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Lu Jie agreed without thinking, and she has been there to see it until now.

Hearing this, Lu Xu persuaded softly: "Today there are male guests in the house, send someone to take a look before you go over, so as not to bump into them accidentally."

"Sixth sister, don't you want to go?" Jian Ruyu asked at the right opportunity.

"I'm not interested." Lu Xu refused even though he didn't even bother to find an excuse.

"Leave her alone, she's just like this." Lu Jie said disapprovingly, "I'll take you there to have a look."

"What's the rush, I have to go back to grandma first." Lu Yi stopped Lu Jie, walked up to Mrs. Lu and said, "Grandmother, granddaughter wants to take a few girls to the garden."

"You little girls don't stay here, it's better to go out for a walk."

It's rare for the granddaughters to have little sisters to talk to, so Mrs. Lu naturally wouldn't stop them.

Lu Xu saluted with everyone, and walked behind them when he left. The old ladies were impressed by his lazy and comfortable back.

Mrs. Nangong watched Lu Xu walk away, and asked unwillingly: "The person who is worthy of your little granddaughter must be a very mediocre person. I don't know which family's child is in Kyoto. I want to see the old lady too."

Mrs. Lu saw what the old sister meant, and said indifferently: "I can't say the specifics, I can only say that he is a guest of Nanli's royal family."

"Didn't it be said in the early years that the emperor intended to give Xu'er to His Highness the Crown Prince, so why did he become a guest?" King Dongling was still walking around the court after all, and he still had some understanding of what happened in the capital.

"It's all rumors that wind is rain."

Mrs. Lu smiled helplessly and said: "Back then, Xu'er was the only girl who chose to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince, so people outside made wild guesses."

"You don't know my son's personality yet, so why are you willing to let your daughter enter the palace to endure hardships?" Mrs. Lu said disapprovingly, "The fourth and fifth girls' participation in the draft is just a formality. After all, it is the emperor's first draft. There were also some conflicts with your family."

The last sentence was to Mrs. Lin.

"Let the past go, I don't bother to ask about the juniors' affairs."

Mrs. Lin also knew that her child was at fault first, and Mrs. Lu gave the steps, so she couldn't continue to stand still

******
Several girls walked out of the nave.

The personal maids who were waiting outside rushed up one after another to add clothes and deliver things for their masters.

Seeing Qingluan hugging the long-haired orange, Lu Xu said, "Why is this big guy willing to get out of the bed? He usually doesn't sleep until it's time to eat and won't get up."

"My servant just went back and told the little girls to do things. When she came out, it quietly followed." Qingluan handed the cat over and said: "Today there are distinguished guests in the house, and I was worried that it would run around and surprise the guests, so I hugged the cat." It's waiting for Miss."

"This guy has grown fatter and fatter since he was a gelding."

The three masters and servants were only talking and teasing the cat, completely oblivious to the guests quietly looking at them.

Jian Ruyi lowered her voice and said: "Sixth Younger Sister's maid has an extraordinary bearing, she doesn't look like an ordinary maid, but a young lady who doesn't have much with us."

"Suzaku, Qingluan, Crested Ibis, and Blue Bird were all rewarded by the empress." Lu Jie said disapprovingly: "The people in the palace naturally look different from ordinary maids, and they all have good martial arts."

"Look at the cat that Xu'er is holding..." Lu Jie lowered her voice and said, "His Royal Highness rewarded it. It is said that the imperial cat is a tribute from below."

"His Royal Highness..." Jian Ruyi wanted to continue asking, but she quickly shut up when she saw Lu Xu approaching.

"Girls go to the garden to play, Lu Xu will not be with you, you have fun and leave." Lu Xu secretly passed a signal to Lu Yi after speaking.

"How can we have fun without you here?"

"That's right."

"You Huayuan, why miss Lu Xu?"

Nangongqin was a little unhappy, and the other girls seemed to be quite critical as well.

Lu Yi smoothed things over and said: "Xu'er has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is too weak to be exposed to wind, so please don't make things difficult for her."

"Fifth Sister, take the girls there first. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks, and I'll go find you later."

Lu Yi made up an excuse to drive everyone away, watched them walk away and said, "Xu'er, you asked me to stay, but you found something wrong."

"The martial arts family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, their news channels are the most well-informed. It is impossible for them to know nothing about the affairs of the capital, but now they pretend to know nothing and deliberately ask us, which makes me suspicious. The fourth sister will talk to them in a while. When chatting, pay attention to their questions."

"Understood, I will take good care of Fifth Younger Sister's mouth." Lu Yi understood immediately, and suddenly smiled cunningly: "The matter of tea and snacks..."

"My sister will be sent there in a while, so I don't need my sister to make trouble." Lu Xu accepted the matter helplessly and said, "Sister, hurry up, or Fifth Sister's mouth will start to set off firecrackers."

"Don't worry, I'll kill it right away."

After watching Lu Yi go away, Lu Xu said to Qingluan: "Go and check the recent situation of the Nangong family and the Jian family."
