After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 33 Lu Xingzhi: It’s more than enough to support you
"I usually go to court. If I have time, I can teach Madam." Lu Xing knew.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing agreed happily.

Because she knew that Lu Xingzhi was very busy, especially since he had taken half a month's leave. Things in the capital were probably already piling up. Moreover, he was about to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he had no time to spare.

Seeing her agreeing so happily, Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but look at her one more time.

Qiao Jingjing looked back at him frankly.

After a long while, Lu Xingzhi's black eyes were slightly closed, and he leaned against the car wall and fell asleep.

Looking at his handsome facial features, Qiao Jingjing paused and suddenly said: "It's very strange, Your Highness, the eldest princess, why did you summon me today? Does your husband know the reason?"

Lu Xingzhi raised his eyelids, glanced at her, and asked instead, "Madam, do you know?"

Qiao Jingjing frowned, looking confused, "I don't know if it's my imagination? I always feel that the eldest princess is quite hostile to me, and Aunt Wan also speaks strangely, as if I have stolen the eldest princess's attention. Very good."

Lu Xingzhi paused and said calmly: "Madam, you are too preoccupied. It must be a coincidence."

"Am I overthinking? The eldest princess is so busy that she has to summon the minister's wife to greet her when she meets her?" Qiao Jingjing became even more confused.

Lu Xingzhi paused and then said, "Maybe this is the first time I've met you and I'm curious about you."

"What am I curious about?" Qiao Jingjing wondered, "Could it be that I'm curious about what kind of country girl you married, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and suddenly said: "We're here, get off the car."

"But you haven't answered me yet..." Before Qiao Jingjing could finish her words, she saw that the man had already lifted the curtain and left.

She paused, and it seemed that her guess was correct. The eldest princess admired him, and he knew it, so he avoided answering her questions.

She shrugged and got out of the car.

As soon as the couple entered the mansion, Butler Wang came over quickly with a post, "Your Excellency, madam, the wife of Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs has sent a post, inviting Madam to come to the house tomorrow to taste chrysanthemums."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned, "Invite me?"

"Exactly." Butler Wang nodded.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Xingzhi, her expression suddenly becoming anxious, "Husband, what should I do? I have never participated in that kind of occasion. Will it embarrass you then?"

Lu Xingzhi came back to his senses and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous or worry, it's just an ordinary chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. When the time comes, you just need to enjoy the chrysanthemums with them. You don't need to say anything else." He paused. After a pause, he added, "Even if someone asks you something, if you don't understand, you don't have to answer."

"Really?" Qiao Jingjing was not sure.

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi nodded firmly.

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, as long as you don't mind me embarrassing you when the time comes, that's fine."

After Lu Xingzhi thought for a while, he added, "Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to go with you."

"Who do you want to invite, husband?" Qiao Jingjing asked curiously.

"You'll know tomorrow." Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything clearly, but turned to look at Butler Wang, "By the way, did Jin Zhilou send Madam General's clothes?"

Butler Wang shook his head, "Not yet. Jin Zhilou just came to take measurements yesterday and couldn't finish it so quickly. How about I go to the clothing store with my wife to choose some clothing first and prepare for tomorrow?"

"I'll go with her." Lu Xingzhi said, looking at Qiao Jingjing, "Let's go."

After returning to the house, Qiao Jingjing was reluctant to go out again, but she was going to a banquet tomorrow, and the dress she brought from Xingzi Village was obviously inappropriate.

"Yeah." Finally, she nodded.

……

When the carriage stopped, Qiao Jingjing opened the curtains and looked out. She saw the three golden characters of Jinzhilou shining brightly in the sunlight.

She was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Lu Xingzhi to take her directly to Jinzhi Building. Although she had just come to the capital, she had already heard Qingyuan mention that Jin Zhilou was the largest embroidery workshop in the capital yesterday.

Their clothes are the best in terms of fabrics, embroidery work, and styles.

Naturally, their clothes are also ridiculously expensive.

But no matter how high the price is, it is still highly sought after by the ladies of the capital.

They pride themselves on wearing Jinzhilou's clothes.

It can be seen how popular Jinzhilou is among the ladies.

Qiao Jingjing gathered her thoughts, turned to look at Lu Xingzhi, and said with a complex expression: "Husband, you don't need to compare yourself with others. I think the clothes from other clothing stores are pretty good."

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, wondering why she said this?

"Although my husband is now the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, your salary will not be too high soon after you take this position. We have to spend money everywhere, and it is better to be frugal where we can." Qiao Jingjing implicitly said reminded.

As far as she knew, Lu Xingzhi's current salary was not high, and he had to support such a large family. Yesterday, he asked the embroiderer from Jinzhilou to make dresses for her, Lu's mother, and Lu Shuangshuang. I'm afraid the money has already been spent. A lot.

In addition, the three of them also picked out so many jewelry.

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he finally understood what she meant.

He was silent for a moment and then said: "Things are not what you think. Also, my salary is not high, but it is more than enough to support you. In addition, I had meritorious service from the dragon, and the Holy One rewarded me with a lot of gold."

When she heard the word gold, Qiao Jingjing's eyes instantly lit up, so she ignored the other words he said.

"How much gold did the emperor reward you?" Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but get closer and asked in a low voice, but she was extremely excited.

No wonder that when they served tea to Father Lu and Mother Lu, the two elders came up with two packets of gold leaves and a jade bracelet.

At that time, she was also suspicious of the two elders, thinking that they had been pretending to be poor in Xingzi Village for so many years.

It seems that Lu Xingzhi gave it to them.

The girl suddenly approached, and the fragrance from her body penetrated his nose, making Lu Xingzhi lean to the side uncomfortably.

"Not much, ten thousand taels of gold." After a moment, he said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing swallowed her saliva, ten thousand taels...gold?
No wonder this guy is so generous.

"Can we go down now?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

"Okay, no problem." Qiao Jingjing said immediately.

If she had known he had so much gold, she wouldn't have had to worry.

"Let's go." She stood up first and got out of the carriage.

Seeing her walking out briskly, Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

After entering the Jinzhi Building, Qiao Jingjing pointed to the dress on the shelf beside her and said to the waiter: "Take that one off and let me try it on."

When the clerk saw the direction she was pointing, his eyes instantly lit up, "Madam, you have a good eye. This dress was made by the embroiderer in our building. It took two full months to make it. This fabric, This workmanship and style is the only one in the entire capital. We just put it up, and to our surprise, Madam took a liking to it."

The guy said as he took off his dress.

Qiao Jingjing was about to reach out to take it, when suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and snatched the dress from the waiter's hand faster.

"How can a village girl come from here and be worthy of wearing such a fine dress?"

　I will update here today. From tomorrow on, I will continue to update at 12 noon~
