Chapter 30
Looking at the long list of pensions in her hand, Lu Weimang sighed. She finally understood why the Lu family was so poor. If one person earns money and so many people help him spend it, can he not be poor?
"Miss, the things have been packed. If there is no other order, I will let the team Lao Zhao set off and deliver it."

Lu Weimang thought for a while, "Let Lao Zhao serve snacks when he goes. Whose family is really struggling this year, report it when you come back, and housekeeper Lu, you can deal with it as appropriate."

"Hey, little one knows."

Steward Lu fully agreed, turned around and left Lu Weimang's hungry small courtyard, and walked towards the gate of Lu's mansion, thinking in his heart that although his young lady disliked the master for spending money, she was still soft-hearted.

"Old Zhao, you go, they are all our old buddies, you know it well."

"Oh, I see."

Lao Zhao, who was lame on one leg, sat on the leader's carriage, nodded to express his understanding, then waved his whip, and the convoy moved slowly.

When Lu Qingshan left the office in the evening, he heard from the housekeeper that the young lady gave each family another three-point year ceremony, he immediately beamed with joy, and slapped Lu Weimang on the shoulder at the dinner table, "You really deserve to be a good girl of my father. Don’t talk about making money, but also have a good heart. Let’s just say, this person lives for a lifetime, just enough to eat and wear warm clothes, and there is no such thing as being poor, and our days are already unimaginable before.”

Cheng Yang and Changfeng listened to their father's words, their eyes sparkled, and they felt that their father was not only capable, but also had no character.

Lu Weimang moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say any disappointing words, Cheng Yang and Changfeng were here, to save some face for his father.

This is the first year that Lu Weimang and the others have returned to Lu's mansion, and they still earned some money a year ago, so Steward Lu has been jumping up and down in the mansion since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, vowing to dress up the mansion. new.

"Okay, today is our first big cleaning in Lufu Dongyue. I have to clean all the places that are within reach, including the roof of the courtyard corridor. I have prepared the ladder, Liu Quan, you are in charge. The cleaning of the outer courtyard, Madam Huang, you are in charge of the inner courtyard, now it is [-]:[-], and when it is [-]:[-], I will go to check, whoever is in charge of the place is unqualified, and the military law will take care of it."

"Here!"

"Okay, hurry up and get busy!"

As soon as Steward Lu waved his hand, the servants who stood neatly dispersed immediately. Those who carried water, those who carried rags, and those who carried ladders all started to work in an orderly manner.

"Miss, let's do a big cleaning at the house today, do you think you can avoid it for a while, so as not to make you feel ashamed."

Steward Lu rubbed his hands, and asked Lu Weimang to take a place.

Lu Weimang's black line, feelings are getting in the way in the room, right?

"Xiao Xia, let's go, let's go shopping, not at home to cause trouble for others."

"Hey, miss, this old slave will prepare a car for you. You can go shopping for a while, and when you come back, I will ensure that the mansion is completely new."

In this way, after Father Lu went to the Yamen and Cheng Yang and Chang Feng entered school, he himself was "swept out" by the enthusiastic old housekeeper.

In fact, if it's not necessary, Lu Weimang is a relatively homely person, and generally doesn't like to go out.Wandering aimlessly in the street, Lu Weimang couldn't help thinking, if only he was a boy, he could go to school with Cheng Yang and Chang Feng, and save himself from being "thrown out" by housekeeper Lu at home.It doesn't matter whether you study or not, you just want to have a place where you can go out and stay.

Lu Weimang's place is very boring, but Qin Xuan's place is very lively.

Today is Mrs. Qin Hou's birthday, although there is no big event, it's just that my family has a lively meal, and it is as lively as flowers and brocades.

At noon, several juniors gave birthday presents one by one. The juniors could give anything valuable, but it was just to show their hearts, and everyone followed suit.

"Mother, my son knows that you love chrysanthemums, so I asked the master painter of chrysanthemums among the court painters to draw a picture of chrysanthemums for you."

Mrs. Zhang was full of smiles, looking at the tall and handsome eldest son Qin Hong in front of her, she was indescribably satisfied. However, she had followed his father to and from the battlefield many times, and this year she even took the job of Lang Zhongling. When it comes to the son of Qin's parents, he always gives a thumbs up.

"Okay, hang this painting in Tingtao Pavilion when you get back."

It was actually going to be hung in the main hall of her residence, which shows her love for this gift.

The people next to him also joined in the fun, if it wasn't for the eldest son's engagement, someone might have recommended himself on the spot.

Next came the second son, Qin Min, "You like to read in your free time. My son found a few lonely books from the teacher and copied them by himself, so that you can relax in your free time."

Mrs. Qin Hou glared at her second son, "You really miss me, stay in the capital after the New Year, and don't travel around to study."

The second son smiled and said nothing.

The people next to him also made fun of it, "Auntie, Mr. Min is famous now, I have heard many people say it in the mansion."

After hearing this, Madam Zhang was also pleased with herself, but she said that he was still young, so how could he bear it.

It was Qin Xuan's turn to give the birthday gift, and he clapped his hands, and someone behind him came over with a big basin covered with a red hijab, and everyone was very curious.

"That time when my mother came back from a visit to the Zhang family, she told me that there was a red coral at home when I was a child. My son went to Duobao Pavilion a few days ago and happened to see it, so he bought it back as a birthday present for his mother."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the red veil on the basin, revealing a two-foot-high red coral tree.Only the basin at the bottom is inlaid with filigree and treasures, which makes the red coral look red and bright, which is quite spectacular.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Qin Xuan, who was originally complacent, was a little confused.

"Mother doesn't like it?"

Ever since Qin Xuan stopped hanging out with those vulgar friends, the money he earned has become less and less where to spend it.

This money is not only money, but also his ability, so young people always look forward to showing some abilities in front of others, so that people can boast that they have grown up and have abilities.

So this time for his mother's birthday, he bought this pot of coral tree with all the money he had spent in the past few months, not because he wanted to overwhelm others in gifts, but because he wanted to show off to his parents and family that he had made money.

But at this time, the whole family didn't know about it.

Although his Yanyin shop was run through his parents and confidantes, it was really not a trivial matter for the Qinhou Mansion, so by accident, no one in the mansion knew that he was making money. got silver.

Therefore, the praise and compliments he was looking forward to were gone, only the three trials of his own family were waiting for him.

Qin Hou and his wife sat on the left and right, Qin Hong and Qin Min sat on the left and lower, and Qin Xuan stood alone in the hall, accepting "interrogation".

"Tell me, how did that coral tree come about?"

Qin Xuan replied cautiously, but still couldn't help showing some pride, "Of course my son bought it, and it cost more than a hundred thousand taels of silver!"

It's almost not enough for him to get all the red blood and smash it in.

Qin Hou's face became more and more gloomy. Qin Hou's wife, Mrs. Zhang, saw that her husband's face was not right, and she was afraid that his temper would not be able to stop him, so she hurriedly asked her son to explain, "Xuan'er, you are still young, and you don't understand the difficulties of the world. I beg your father to do something, and I will make up your mind, Xuan'er, tell the truth, who gave you the money, we will return the principal with interest."

Seeing his mother's anxious face, Qin Xuan realized that no one in the family knew that he had made money, and he didn't know whether to be angry or happy for a while.

Like them, the children of a top-notch noble family, although the children in the family come from prominent backgrounds, are rich in gold and jade, and have the best food and clothing on weekdays, but there is also the same disadvantage, that is, because the food and clothing are the best, so even they Every object on the body is recorded in the book.

It's impossible for him to work with Lu Weimang this time in partnership, and it's impossible to hide it from the mansion.So he just generously let the people around his parents do it for him, so that he can save himself from explaining later.

Who knew, they all thought Qin Xuan was making trouble, and didn't take it to heart after hearing it, so that rare information errors appeared.

If it was the eldest brother or the second brother, there would definitely not be such a mistake. After all, the parents still treat themselves as children, so they just heard about their own affairs and didn't pay attention.

Therefore, Qin Xuan had no choice but to be patient, "The money came from a clean source, and I earned it from a partnership with others. At that time, I used your shop, didn't I tell Madam Liu that she didn't Tell you?"

Mrs. Qin Hou's face was stunned, "You were talking about June. It's been a long time, and I forgot. Hou Ye, it must be that Xuan'er has this talent..."

Mrs. Qin Hou said, she didn't quite believe it.How could she not know when it was so easy to make money in the big business she owns, with hundreds of thousands of taels in half a year?

Qin Hou's face was ugly, Qin Hong quickly winked at his little brother, "Little brother, why don't you tell the truth, who coaxed you into opening that business, father Mingjian, will not let you be deceived."

Qin Xuan also knew that at this time, he would definitely have to tell the truth, otherwise not only would he suffer immediate losses, but he might also implicate Lu Weimang.

So, from getting acquainted with Lu Weimang, to making a plan, to opening a hot sale, I told everything.

Qin Hou's face softened, but Qin Hou's wife and two sons opened their mouths in surprise.

"Son, you mean, you only have one shop, and you make millions a year?"

Qin Xuan nodded innocently, "I didn't know the income was so high. But Wei Wei said that there are many humble businesses that make money in this world, and this million taels is nothing. There is no need to boast to others. I thought Today is our own family, so we deliberately spent more money to buy that coral tree bonsai for you, and it didn’t cost much, it’s just the dividends from the shop for more than a month.”

In fact, my heart is still a little dark.

Mrs. Qin Hou covered her forehead, and couldn't help but think, she has worked hard for a year to take care of the family business, and the books to be checked every year in this village or that shop are as high as a hill, but is the income worth a million taels?
"Okay, that's all for today, don't spread it to outsiders. Rest first, Xuan'er, follow me to the study."

Seeing that the three people who could save him were still in shock, Qin Xuan could only follow his father to the study with a bitter face.

"You tell me the process of getting to know Lu Weimang in detail, don't save a single word."

Seeing his father's serious expression, Qin Xuan couldn't help sinking his heart, and recalled the details of their acquaintance and relationship.
