After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 35 This man is too wasteful

Lu Xingzhi glanced at it and nodded, "It's okay, as long as you like it."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing paused for a moment. Looking at the man's good-tempered appearance, she rolled her eyes and said deliberately: "My husband wants to say that I am good-looking and look good no matter what I wear. Is that what you mean?"

Lu Xingzhi was slightly startled, then raised his eyes to glance at her, and suddenly said: "Madam, do you know how thick the city wall is?"

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then when she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "My husband is making fun of me. His face is as thick as the city wall, right?"

Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes, hid the smile in his eyes, and said warmly: "I didn't say that."

"You didn't say it directly, but that's what you meant." Qiao Jingjing snorted, "Forget it, just be thick-skinned. By the way, what's your budget?"

"What?" Lu Xingzhi was a little confused.

"How much money are you going to spend on buying me clothes?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

Lu Xingzhi paused and shook his head, "I haven't thought about it. You can just figure it out."

"Okay, I'll choose whatever I want." Qiao Jingjing said.

Thinking of the brush she bought for him for twenty cents, he thought for a moment and added: "Between one hundred taels and two hundred taels."

Qiao Jingjing's pupils shrank and she shook her head decisively, "No!"

Lu Xingzhi frowned, "The one downstairs just now costs two hundred taels, too?"

"That's because I don't know the price, and I don't necessarily want to buy that one. I just want to take a look first." Qiao Jingjing said.

If she knew that the dress cost two hundred taels, she wouldn't even look at it twice.

It's not gold, but it's so expensive.

Will wearing it make me go to heaven, or will it make me live longer?

"I'll pick something within fifty taels." Finally, she gritted her teeth and said.

After all, the people attending the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet hosted by Mrs. Lin tomorrow must be of high status. She would embarrass Lu Xingzhi if she dressed too shabbily.

If Lu Xingzhi wanted to say anything else, she had already turned around, picked out a pretty good dress, and went to the dressing room to change.

The size is suitable, the fabric is very comfortable, and the style is quite fashionable.

She thought it would be appropriate to wear it to the banquet tomorrow, but since Lu Xingzhi had to pay, she decided to wear it and show it to him first.

"Husband, what do you think of this?" As soon as she came out of the dressing room, she picked up the skirt and spun it around twice.

The air suddenly became eerily quiet.

Sensing something was wrong, she immediately stood firm, raised her eyes, and saw a man beside Lu Xingzhi at some point.

The man looked at her blankly, with a somewhat shocked expression, while Lu Xingzhi felt a little uncomfortable. He said, "Well, it's not bad. Go and change it quickly."

Qiao Jingjing immediately felt frustrated and rushed back to the locker room, but she could still hear the man's shouting voice: "Lu Xingzhi, is that Mrs. Sister-in-law, right? I thought where did this fairy come from? I wonder if there are other people in Mrs. Sister-in-law's home?" If I don’t have any sisters, can you introduce me to them?”

"My wife has no sisters in her family, but she has a few cousins. If you are interested, I can introduce them to you when I have the opportunity in the future." Lu Xingzhi said leisurely.

When the man heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, "I'm so grateful to you. You'd better introduce it to others!"

Qiao Jingjing changed back into her own clothes and walked out again.

Before she could digest the news of She's death, the man came closer and said in a familiar manner, "Madam, I am Xia Houxi, Lu Xingzhi's best brother."

"Nice to meet you!" Qiao Jingjing glanced at him, nodded politely, then hugged the dress, ran to Lu Xingzhi's side, and whispered, "Then you have no objection, I want this?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at the dress in her arms, and the scene just now flashed through his mind.

She was wearing a light green dress, holding a white tulle between her arms, and she was spinning in circles. She really looked like a fairy who had fallen into the world... He paused, stopped his thoughts, and looked down at her, "Not much." Pick one?”

"No need, the custom-made dresses will be ready in a few days." Qiao Jingjing shook her head.

Although like all girls, she likes to buy clothes, but this dress from Jinzhilou is really too expensive, which is really painful.

When he went downstairs to check out, as soon as the shopkeeper finished quoting the price, Xia Houxi slapped a one-hundred-tael silver note on the counter, "I'll reward you with the rest."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing picked up the banknote and said, "Master Xiahou, there is no need to be like this..."

Oh my god, she only has fifty taels for one dress, so doesn’t she still have fifty taels for the rest?

Isn't this person too spendthrift?

Just say reward and reward.

Just as Xia Houxi was about to say something, Lu Xingzhi took out a fifty-tael banknote and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at the banknotes in Qiao Jingjing's hand with some regret, and saw that there were only fifty taels left...

"Lao Lu, when I met my wife for the first time, I treated her as a gift. If you are so outspoken, I will..." Xia Houxi didn't say anything before he was interrupted by Lu Xingzhi, "You give your wife a dress?" , what’s that?”

"That's right, we accept Mr. Xiahou's wishes." Qiao Jingjing quickly put the banknote back into his hand.

Xia Houxi sighed, "Well, if I treat you to a meal, it's not an exaggeration, right?"

Lu Xing knew: "I have something to do today, let's wait for another day. By the way, didn't you come to Jinzhilou with your aunt? You don't have to wait for her?"

"It's the most annoying thing for a woman to buy clothes. I can't wait for her..." After Xia Houxi said this, he remembered Qiao Jingjing. He laughed dryly and said, "Of course, I'm not talking about Mrs. Sister-in-law. Mrs. Sister-in-law is different from other women. "

Qiao Jingjing reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and said to Xia Houxi, "Let's go first."

Xia Houxi waved his hand lazily, "When you are free someday, you must give me a chance to treat my sister-in-law to dinner."

"Let's talk about it later." Lu Xingzhi responded lightly and led Qiao Jingjing out of Jinzhi Building.

……

Lu Xingzhi was indeed very busy. After sending Qiao Jingjing back to his house, he went to the study.

Qiao Jingjing was not surprised by this. She returned to Meixiangyuan with her newly bought clothes.

In the evening, Lu's mother called someone over to invite Qiao Jingjing to have a meal. When she arrived, Lu's father, Lu Xingyan, and Lu Shuangshuang were all there, but Lu Xingzhi didn't come.

She stepped forward to greet Father Lu and Mother Lu, saying, "Dad, mother."

"Sit down, Jingjing." Father Lu said with a pleasant look.

Qiao Jingjing nodded, sat down as instructed, and asked, "By the way, hasn't your husband come over yet?"

Mother Lu said: "I sent someone up front to invite him, but he has something to do and is out."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she said nothing more.

"I heard that you are going to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet hosted by Lin Shangshu's wife tomorrow?" Mother Lu asked.

"Yes, I received an invitation from the Lin family this afternoon." Qiao Jingjing replied.

Mother Lu became a little worried when she heard this, "We have just arrived in the capital. Unexpectedly, someone has invited us. You haven't gotten used to it yet..."
