The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 699 Envy, Jealousy and Expectation

The next morning, Lu Baozhu had a hasty breakfast, and brought his children to Zhenghe An to say hello to Mrs An and bid farewell. Under the escort of the guards of the Duke of Zhen, the group went straight to the hot spring villa.

Su Yunduo originally thought that they should stay in the hot spring villa for a few days, but they didn't expect that they would be sent back to the city by Lu Mingyang in despair before noon the next day.

Lu Baozhu is a flexible person, knowing that he was suspicious and misunderstood, the first thing he did when he returned home was to apologize to Anshi and Su Yunduo respectively.

An's naturally wouldn't care about Lu Baozhu, and Su Yunduo was not one to care about, but Lu Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable after thinking about it, so he went to the street to buy both An's and Su Yunduo's compensation. Yun Duo didn't lack these things, and in order to reassure Lu Baozhu, the two cheerfully accepted the apology obviously from "Yun Shang".

Su Yunduo didn't know whether An Shi returned the gift to Lu Baozhu in private, but as a junior, it was hard for her not to return the gift.

However, this gift in return was nothing more than a trivial matter to Su Yunduo. He gave Lu Baozhu two eiderdown jackets for each person, and gave Lu Baozhu two eiderdown quilts. Lu Baozhu was both surprised and delighted.

The day she first arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she didn't pay much attention to the clothes of the people in the mansion because her mind was all on Lu Mingyang.

The first time she saw the robe on Lu Mingyang's body in the hot spring villa, she felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that the hot spring villa was warmer than the city, and that the old man was old and had cold legs, so he shouldn't be wearing such thin clothes.

But she still remembered the lesson of the day before, and she didn't have an attack at the first time. Of course, there was no reason for the attack at the first time, and it was also because there was no one in front of her who could bear her attack.

When she found out that the old man only had a thin quilt on his bed, she couldn't hold it back, and started to say some unpleasant things in a murmur. The plan is to only let her take her children to play around or soak in the hot springs. Anyway, she only needs to stay for one night. She naturally understands the benefits of this thin quilt. He doesn't believe that Lu Baozhu can talk anymore after using this eiderdown quilt It's so hard to find such a light and warm quilt in this world!

Sure enough, after enjoying the benefits of the hot spring, and enjoying the frivolity and warmth for another night, when he saw Lu Mingyang again the next day, Lu Baozhu's expression changed completely. He only urged her to take her children back to the city and do what she should do, so as not to disturb his interest in fishing with old friends.

After she returned to the mansion, she found out that almost all the masters in the mansion were wearing similar thin winter jackets. Naturally, she felt very itchy, so she grabbed Mrs. Yang in private to ask what happened.

Mrs. Yang did not hide it from her, and directly told her that the stuffing inside the jacket was not cotton or silk, but duck down plucked from ducks, and only a dozen or twenty ducks can make a jacket, which made Lu Baozhu cry. I was stunned for a while, and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

It was almost the same as what everyone thought when they first heard about duck down jackets. The first thing that came to Lu Baozhu's mind was the smell of ducks. The quilt covered by the previous day not only didn't have a trace of smell, but had an indescribable fragrance. , like musk, orchid, and other unidentifiable floral fragrances, it smells so intensely that I fall asleep after smelling it.

Hearing Lu Baozhu express her doubts, Yang smiled and said, "Brother Kang's daughter-in-law understands the principles of medicine, and she made the medicine herself to remove the smell of duck down.

The duck down stuffed with the quilt is also specially added with lavender essential oil, which not only does not smell the slightest smell, but also has the effect of sleeping. "

No wonder she slept so soundly last night. She thought it was because she was sure that the old man was safe and relaxed, and she was too tired from the long day of traveling and thinking.

After listening to Yang's explanation, and looking at Yang's little jacket, Lu Baozhu was really envious and even jealous, but she didn't have the nerve to run to Su Yunduo, after all, Yang mentioned many times that the amount of duck down is small, Only a few in-laws in Beijing and China can get eiderdown quilts and eiderdown clothes.

Although she brought her children back to Beijing now, she didn't inform them in advance for various reasons. Even if Su Yunduo wanted to, she probably didn't prepare for them, so she had to bid farewell to Sanfang and return to Haitang Garden.

To Lu Baozhu's dismay, what the two daughters were talking about back in Haitang Court was also the duck down jacket.

Speaking of it, although the An family is not comparable to the rich and powerful families in the capital, it is not unknown in Jiangling country. In addition, An Fengrui has done well in recent years, and he has become a fourth-rank magistrate at the age of less than [-]. Although he has returned to Beijing very few times these years, But Lu Baozhu can proudly say that he has never treated his sons and daughters badly in terms of dressing, and he will definitely not be worse than the ladies in the capital.

It's just that at this moment, when the two teenage girls talked about the dresses of the cousins ​​in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, they were obviously envious and jealous, and had inexplicable expectations.

Apparently they have all been stimulated to a certain extent today. The girls, big and small, in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion all have duck down ponchos, which are light and warm, but the cloaks worn by their sisters can still keep up with the styles of those in the capital. Trendy, but obviously much bulkier.

"I heard from the third cousin that the eldest princess in the palace and the cousin Mei from the second aunt's family have a duck down poncho like this. I don't know if my sister and I have one." This is the voice of Lu Baozhu's second daughter, An Jixiang. full of anticipation.

"Who knows, we just came to the capital, and Mother didn't send a letter to my grandfather before we came, probably because I wasn't prepared." This was the voice of the eldest daughter, An Ruyi, and her tone was full of helplessness and envy.

Lu Baozhu couldn't help feeling sad, even though she had worked very hard to keep her two daughters from being out of touch with the capital, and if they didn't really live in the capital, there was still a big gap between them and the ladies in the capital.

Fortunately, the two girls are good-natured, whether they are envious or jealous, nothing happened because of it. Otherwise, she would really be ashamed to live in the Duke's Mansion, but there was still some resentment in her heart. Since the eldest sister and the second sister There are girls in the family, why didn't they prepare for her daughter? !

Lu Baozhu just stood blankly outside the house of his two daughters in a daze, until Su Yunduo's eldest maid, Zisu, brought some maids to deliver things to the Begonia Court, and Lu Baozhu regained her senses.

What Zisu sent were three eiderdown cloaks and a long eiderdown jacket. The cloaks were of course for Lu Baozhu and the two girls, and the long eiderdown was for Lu Baozhu's legitimate son, An Haoyang, and two eiderdown quilts.

"This is the duck down product prepared by the grandma for the third aunt, the cousin girl, and the cousin. I thought that the third aunt would celebrate the New Year in Taicheng this year, and was planning to send it to Taicheng along with the New Year gift.

The grandma said that since the third aunt's wife came to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, she would send these to the third aunt's wife, the cousin girl, and the cousin to use first.

Both the cloak and the long coat were custom-made according to the size left by the third aunt's wife when she came to Hexi in Fuchu last time, so they should fit well. "Zisu asked the little maid behind her to bring up the duck down products, and said to Lu Baozhu with a smile.

An Ruyi and An Jixiang who came to the flower hall after receiving the news, their eyes lit up instantly when they saw the two cloaks on one of the trays on the table. One of the two cloaks was lavender and the other was bright red. Said that these two cloaks were specially prepared for their sisters.

Because the relatively quiet sister An Ruyi likes light purple, while the lively sister An Jixiang prefers warm colors, especially bright red.

Just now they were still envious and jealous of their cousins ​​in the capital, and had inexplicable expectations for this duck down cloak, but they didn't expect the surprise to come so soon.

Compared with the simple liking of the two daughters, Lu Baozhu is more emotional.

It's no wonder that the parents are so relieved to give Zhongfu to Su Yunduo who has just entered the door. Although she was born and raised in the countryside, she has all the abilities, means and heart!
