After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 29 It’s okay to be a widow for him

For this reason, Qiao Jingjing couldn't refuse anymore, but after thinking about it, she still confiscated it, "I really can't accept this. I also ask Aunt Rong to take it back to mother and tell her about her kindness. , I’m so impressed, but I’ve already chosen jewelry just now, and I’m still wearing the jade bracelet my mother gave me earlier.”

As she spoke, she pulled up her sleeves, revealing the jade bracelet on her left wrist.

This jade bracelet was the one that Cai Die stole and pawned that day and was later redeemed by Lu Xingyan.

Although the hosta was given by Mother Lu to make up for her, if she really accepted it, Mother Lu would definitely think that she was dissatisfied with Lu Shuangshuang's behavior, and she would also think that she This man is greedy.

If she takes this hairpin, she will definitely make Mother Lu look down on her.

Therefore, even though this hosta has a great background, she cannot accept it.

Aunt Rong tried to persuade her again, but when she still refused to accept it, she had no choice but to take the hosta back.

When Mother Lu saw that she had brought the hosta back, she frowned and asked, "She doesn't like it?"

"That's not true, it's just that Madam feels that she has already chosen the jewelry, and the old lady has already given her a jade bracelet before, so she can no longer accept the old lady's jade hairpin." Aunt Rong replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Mother Lu sighed, "This girl is quite content with her duties."

"Old slave, I think so." Aunt Rong agreed, "And Madam is not angry with Miss Shuangshuang."

"That's good." Mother Lu nodded assuredly.

The next day.

Qiao Jingjing took Qingyuan and Mallow with her and planned to go out for a walk.

When she walked to the front yard, she met Lu Xingzhi, who had just returned from the court. She paused, stepped forward and said hello, "Husband."

Lu Xingzhi stopped and glanced at her with lowered eyes, "Want to go out?"

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded, "I want to go out and get familiar with the streets."

Lu Xingzhi heard this and asked, "Have you brought any money?"

Qiao Jingjing subconsciously patted the purse around her waist, "It has a belt."

Lu Xingzhi's eyes followed her movements.

I saw a light green purse hanging on her waist that was not full, but the purse looked a bit flat.

After a moment of silence, he called for Butler Wang.

"Madam is going out. Go to the accounting room and get fifty taels for her."

Butler Wang was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Old slave, I was negligent. Let's go now."

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Xingzhi in surprise.

She didn't expect that Lu Xingzhi would ask someone to prepare money for her when she went out.

This man...is actually a little considerate.

But in this case, she couldn't just say nothing.

Thinking about it, she took two steps closer, pulled the man's sleeve and said, "Is there anything you want, husband? I'll bring it back for you when you go out later."

Her sudden approach made Lu Xingzhi startled. His body instinctively wanted to move away, but when he remembered what she said yesterday, he stopped and did not move.

"I don't need anything, just buy what you like." After a moment, he raised his head, looked at the sky in the distance, and said in a calm voice.

Qiao Jingjing paused, looked at his perfectly curved jaw, and asked deliberately: "I can buy anything? It doesn't matter if all the money is spent?"

"Of course." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing suddenly felt happy.

Although this man was of low origin, he was not stingy at all, and could even be said to be generous.

If he could keep it up, she would be a widow for him for the rest of her life. Sensing her subtle gaze on him, Lu Xingzhi paused and said in a deep voice, "I asked Lin Jiu to accompany you." After saying that, without waiting for her to say anything, he ordered Lin Jiu, "Protect yourself." lady."

"Yes." Lin Jiu responded and said to Qiao Jingjing, "Ma'am, do you want to take a carriage or walk?"

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and said cheerfully: "Let's walk." After a pause, she suddenly said in an exaggerated tone, "I've been riding in a carriage for seven or eight days, and I'm scared to sit there."

Lin Jiu laughed, "I've made Madam tired."

"It's okay if I'm tired, it's just me..." Qiao Jingjing was about to point to her buttocks, but when she saw Lu Xingzhi's gaze, she suddenly stopped and held her head instead, "My head will be dizzy."

Lu Xingzhi pursed his lower lip. He was sure that he had read correctly. This woman originally wanted to point...

His dark eyes were slightly closed, hiding the faint smile inside.

"It's my first time for Madam to travel far away. It's inevitable to feel dizzy after sitting in a carriage for such a long time. Just get used to it in the future." Lin Jiu comforted her.

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Just as Lin Jiu was about to say something more, he suddenly felt an unhappy gaze falling on him. He paused and stopped speaking wisely.

Not long after, Butler Wang took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Qiao Jingjing.

And because she was afraid that the fifty taels would be heavy when she carried it, she thoughtfully exchanged it for her with ten taels in cash and the other forty taels in silver notes.

Qiao Jingjing took it, carefully put it into her purse, and then said sincerely: "Thank you, Butler Wang."

Butler Wang smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome, madam."

"Thank you also, husband." Qiao Jingjing suddenly turned her head, looking at Lu Xingzhi with a pair of peach blossom eyes, her voice was soft.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, then looked away and warned, "Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded meekly, then looked at Lin Jiu and said impatiently, "Then let's set off."

"Please, madam." Lin Jiu made a gesture of invitation.

Qiao Jingjing didn't waste any more time and hurried out with Qingyuan and Mallow.

Lu Xingzhi stood there for a long time.

Butler Wang followed his gaze and suddenly laughed softly: "Madam is such a lovely girl."

After Lu Xingzhi heard this, he came back to his senses and glanced at him, "Steward Wang seems to be very busy."

Steward Wang held back his smile and said: "I am very busy, and I am not idle at all. I have to arrange all the big and small things in the house, so I won't disturb you." After that, he bowed his hand and withdrew. After that, the smile he just suppressed leaked out a few times.

Lu Xingzhi frowned, but without saying anything else, he turned around and went to the study.

……

Besides, after Qiao Jingjing, Lin Jiu and others went out, they walked to Tianjie, the busiest street in Beijing.

A few people walked and stopped, looking at the scenery along the way, feeling leisurely and at ease.

When we arrived at Tianjie, there were more and more cars, horses and pedestrians on the street. It was bustling with people and the shouts and cries of vendors could be heard all the time. There were many teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street, and there were also entertainers performing their skills on the street. It was very lively.

"It's so lively."

Qingyuan and Mallow's eyes were dazzled, and they were even more excited than Qiao Jingjing, who had just arrived.

They looked around, delighted and surprised.

"Is this your first time here?" Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but ask after seeing the reactions of the two maids.

The two maids' cheeks were flushed with excitement. After hearing this, they nodded shyly.
