Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 69 Concubine
"You live by yourself, and when there are new people behind you, someone will come over to join you."

As Zhijun said, let her rest first, and then take her to see his wife after resting.

When the Lantern Festival comes, there will be a lantern festival outside, as well as folk activities such as viewing lanterns and guessing lantern riddles.

But last time at the Qixi Lantern Festival, a few people were exhausted from going out, and when they came back, He Shaoguang Mengmai was ill for several days.

This time, not only Zhijun and Nijun refused to let her go, but even Mrs. Lu emphasized He Shaoguang, telling her to stay in the mansion and not go anywhere.

After all, after the Lantern Festival, there are two major events: one is that Lu Xiaowen sets off to return to the imperial court, and the family has to prepare for the wind and dust; The Lu family is going to prepare a post to entertain relatives and friends.

Shi Nianjiao can't be too tired, if He Shaoguang collapses again, the old lady and Xu Ruyun alone won't be able to keep busy.

He Shaoguang also knew that the mansion would be busy for a while, so why not take advantage of this time to hide and relax, and don't bother to move.

Driven by the ritual sense of the festival, she still prepared glutinous rice flour, red bean paste, and fried black sesame seeds to make glutinous rice balls.

The glutinous rice balls look white and glutinous on the surface, but they are black-hearted inside, and they taste very sweet.

Every time He Shaoguang bought glutinous rice balls in the supermarket in the past, they were all sweet and greasy. Before cooking, he planned to eat a catty, but after eating, he found that he couldn't eat any more after eating five or six.

But here, she should not have this problem if she made it herself. After all, sugar is expensive now, so she also feels sorry for money, right?
According to my own taste, I prepared two kinds of glutinous rice balls with fillings, and I made almost a hundred of them.

It's not a real meal, it's just that during supper, He Shaoguang divided a few for each person in the yard, and everyone gathered around to eat glutinous rice balls.

Mrs. Lu, Da Fang, and San Fang also received gifts from He Shaoguang habitually.

Holding the small bowl, Shi Nianjiao saw the other one on the tray, and said in a flat tone, "Go and deliver it to the third master."

After the Lantern Festival, Shi Nianjiao no longer stopped Lu Fengju from getting close to her daughter.She knew very well that even if she gave up on Lu Fengju, she couldn't let her daughter have a birth with him.

When Shen was working as a maid, she couldn't interfere, and she deliberately indulged in it, letting the old lady see how absurd her son was, and felt even more guilty towards her.

Now that Shen is a concubine, Shi Nianjiao lowered her eyes and thought about her thoughts, her brows were cold.

She seldom doesn't wear gorgeous dresses, and she only faces the sky during confinement, only to realize that this has a special charm.

Now that Mrs. Shen is a concubine, she is the first wife. Shi Nianjiao suddenly disdains it, disdains to use this tool that she uses to consolidate power.

The trophies and things sent by the Turks have already been on the road, and they are escorted by special personnel, so they must have already arrived in the capital.

Lu Xiaowen's guess was correct, on the seventh day of their departure, with more than half of the journey left, the saint's reward came down.

Lu House.

Mrs. Lu brought a group of family members and two sons, one with a sick body and one with a round belly, to kneel down and salute to the imperial decree.

It was Lu Ruqing who was sick, and now he is the Duke of the country.

The fat one was Lu Fengju, and he looked happy: "Congratulations, big brother."

Just as Lu Ruqing propped himself up to thank him, he was supported by Xu Ruyun, and wanted to ask Lu Feng what to say.

The wind filled his throat with one mouthful, coughed a few more times, and turned his head away quickly.

Mrs. Lu couldn't bear to look directly at her son, and cursed: "Don't bother your brother!"

Lu Feng felt wronged.

The sage not only pointed out that Lu Ruqing was the Duke of the country, Xu Ruyun was the wife of the Duke, He Shaoguang was also honored, and got a five-rank imperial order.

He Shaoguang thanked him happily, and looked at the two girls behind the waiter.

The servant looked into her eyes and smiled respectfully: "Madam, these are the two concubines given to General Lu by the saint. How do you arrange them?"

He Shaoguang smiled softly: "Thank you sage, the sage is sympathetic to your husband, please take him down and arrange for him."

The servant observed her expression and saw that she was not dissatisfied, so he didn't say anything.

There are a few big waves of rewards left, including supplements for Mrs. Lu, rewards for Xu Ruyun and He Shaoguang, and rewards for Lu Ruqing and Lu Xiaowen.

Only Lu Fengju wasn't in the spotlight, and he couldn't quite smile now.

Mrs. Lu felt a headache after reading piles of lists, so she directly threw it to her two daughters-in-law: "You guys make arrangements."

"..."

Xu Ruyun and He Shaoguang smiled at each other, resigned to their fate, and got busy. The conductor Ding sent all the items on the list to the corresponding places.

This busy from afternoon to night.

He Shaoguang was exhausted, and when he returned to the house, Zhi Jun handed him a cup of red date tea.

"Ma'am just got her period, at least pay attention to your body."

He Shaoguang took a big gulp, and sent Chunzao to the dining room to order some food. Chunzao knew some medicine, and now she was in charge of things like her diet.

"Has everyone arranged for today's visit?" He Shaoguang was too busy to ask in time.

Fortunately, a few days ago, she had someone clean out the Lingxue Residence and Luomei Residence on the west side of Qiangwei Garden, and was going to let newcomers live in them.

Zhijun said softly: "It's all arranged. One of the two girls is from Turkic, named Li Meizi. The other is from a good family in the palace. Her surname is Yang and her name is Xingrong."

The name Li Meizi is probably a transliteration. He Shaoguang found it interesting, and smiled and said, "Miss Yang lives in Luomeiju?"

Luomei Residence is larger than Lingxue Residence, and the furnishings are also newer.

Yang Xingrong was from the Duan dynasty and a son of a good family. The family was either a businessman or a well-to-do commoner. She should be better arranged.

After all, are the Turks not my race?
Zhijun nodded, she thought the same as He Shaoguang: "Madam, do you want to meet? The two girls came together at dinner time just now. Madam is not here, so I let them go back first."

He Shaoguang thought for a while: "Tomorrow, we don't have to meet today. It's so late, it would be troublesome for him to dress up again."

Now in Rose Garden, not counting Lu Mingyan who lives alone and Lu Xiaowen who is about to come back, there are already three masters.

He Shaoguang is one of them, living in Jinhuatang in the main house.Lu Mingzhen was one of them, living in the side room of Jinse Residence.The two concubines can only be called girls, and they are half masters. They live in the two side rooms in front of the servant's room at the back, so there are three masters in total.

Concubines generally don't have their own servants, but He Shaoguang is not someone who treats concubines harshly, so he assigned a maid for each of them according to Shen's example.

Both of them thanked each other with gratitude, and they were relieved in their hearts, knowing that the first wife is not harsh, and life will be easier in the future.As for the generals who have not arrived in Beijing yet to fight for favor or not, it all depends on the individual's choice.

Shen Miaomiao heard that the two concubines who had just entered the mansion, one was a dancer from another race, and the other was from a good family who was drafted in the palace, they hadn't even met the second master, yet the second wife proposed to them the same concubine as herself. treatment.

You must know that she is only treated like this when she is pregnant.

During Shen Miaomiao's pregnancy, her emotions fluctuated a lot, she almost felt like she was going to be mad with anger.

　I couldn't help it, I bought a new cover, and I should be able to change it in a few days, hehe, if it doesn't look good, I will continue to use the current one
