After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 45: Is he going to be a father?

Lu Shuangshuang's big mouth has long been known to everyone.

Everyone in the Lu family knew that she had won a golden lion.

Fortunately, Mother Lu shook her head and said, "You can keep it for yourself. You won this with your own ability."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she felt happy and stopped pretending to be polite, "Thank you, mother."

"Do you think my mother will be as tacky as you? She doesn't care about gold." Lu Shuangshuang sneered.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

In this way, she is the only one in the entire Lu family who is tacky.

"Since both of you don't like gold, if you have gold in the future, can you give it all to me?" She blinked her peach blossom eyes with a sincere look on her face.

Lu Shuangshuang choked, but thinking about what she said, she could only wave her hands in a pretended manner, "I'll give it to you."

"That's settled." Qiao Jingjing hooked her finger and said.

Lu Shuangshuang froze, came to his senses, quickly shook off her hand, and said with an uncomfortable look on his face: "Can you stop being so childish?"

Mother Lu was quite pleased to see that the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law had obviously eased.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so good, Qiao Jingjing remembered something, glanced at Lu Xingzhi, and said, "Mom, dad, my husband also has a happy event."

"What happy event?" Father Lu and Mother Lu asked quickly.

Lu Shuangshuang looked at Qiao Jingjing suspiciously, then at Lu Xingzhi, and blurted out, "Could it be that the eldest brother is going to be a father?"

"Cough cough cough..." Qiao Jingjing choked on her own saliva and looked at her in shock.

Please, she and Lu Xingzhi got married and it hadn't even been a month yet. How could she have such an idea?
Besides, she and Lu Xingzhi haven't consummated their marriage yet.

She was too embarrassed to look at Lu Xingzhi's face.

Father Lu and Mother Lu also looked at their daughter in astonishment.

Lu Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a strange expression: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for less than a month, how can they become fathers, unless..."

"Unless what?" Lu Shuangshuang asked immediately, not knowing whether he didn't understand or if he did it on purpose.

Lu Xingyan shut his mouth.

"Stop messing around." Father Lu came to his senses and scolded.

Lu Shuangshuang curled her lips and asked instead: "Besides this, what other happy events can eldest brother have?"

Others also looked at Lu Xingzhi, "Yeah, what's your happy event?"

Lu Xingzhi paused and looked down at Qiao Jingjing.

Facing his dark and cold eyes, Qiao Jingjing felt a little guilty for no reason.

After thinking about it, she moved closer to the man and asked in a low voice: "You are about to be promoted, can't you tell me yet?"

Looking at the girl's black hair, Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said "hmm" in a low voice.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she felt extremely guilty and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your consent..." She thought that they were all a family, plus the tone in his tone when he told her about the incident in the carriage. Very confident, she felt that there was nothing to avoid.

Now seeing his reaction like this, she realized something was wrong.

After all, things haven't been finalized yet, and there is a possibility of variables.

If she says it now, if something changes by then, won't it mean that everyone's joy will be in vain?
Although the original book mentioned that Lu Xingzhi did have the experience of being a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs before becoming the prime minister, she did not know whether the plot would change.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Xingzhi said warmly.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see several people in the room staring at the couple. She coughed lightly and spoke for Lu Xingzhi, "My husband does have a happy event, but the matter has not been finalized yet. I don’t know if there will be any changes, let’s see tomorrow.”

Thinking of the intimate way the couple whispered to each other just now, Father Lu and Mother Lu comforted each other.

"It's okay, don't worry, we can wait." Father Lu and Mother Lu said with smiles on their faces.

Qiao Jingjing looked at the expressions of the two elders and felt that it was a bit strange that they said they could wait, as if they were not referring to the happy event she just mentioned, but something else.

"Why don't we know until tomorrow?" At this time, Lu Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xingzhi did not answer, but said to everyone: "You guys can chat, I'm going to the study."

"Go." Father Lu nodded.

Not long after Lu Xingzhi left, Qiao Jingjing returned to Meixiangyuan on the pretext of being tired.

As soon as she returned to the house, she took out the golden lion, played with it for a while, then found a box and put it away carefully. She touched the box. The golden lion she got today, plus the gold and silver given by Lu Xingzhi and Lu's father and Lu's mother, she could be considered a little rich woman.

She should have been happy, but when she thought of that poem, she felt like she had a lump in her throat.

She always felt that this was a hidden danger, and she was afraid that Lu Xingzhi's political opponents would use this poem against him.

If so, wouldn't she have harmed Lu Xingzhi?

Thinking of this, she became a little uneasy.

Because she was in a bad mood, she ate something casually at night, took a shower, and went to bed.

Qingyuan asked: "Madam, do you want to leave the door open for your Excellency?"

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No, sir, he is very busy and will stay in the study recently."

When Qing Yuan heard this, he didn't think much, nodded and said, "That slave is locked up."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing responded, turned over, and lay facing inside.

Because she had something on her mind, she didn't fall asleep for a long time.

But thinking about Lu Xingzhi's calm appearance in the carriage at that time, she felt that he should have a plan to deal with it, and felt a little relieved.

After a long time, she finally fell asleep.

The next day, the imperial edict to promote Lu Xingzhi to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel arrived as expected.

The eunuch who delivered the edict, after reading out the imperial edict, put it into Lu Xingzhi's hand with a smile on his face, "Our family is here to congratulate Lu Shangshu and congratulate Lu Shangshu."

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhao." After receiving the imperial edict, Lu Xingzhi said, "Eunuch Zhao, please go inside and have a cup of tea first."

Eunuch Zhao shook his head, "The Emperor still has things to tell our family to handle, so we will go back to the palace first."

"In that case, I won't delay Eunuch Zhao." Lu Xingzhi said, turning his head to look at Butler Wang, "Send Eunuch Zhao off for me."

Butler Wang understood the idea and immediately stepped forward and said: "Eunuch Zhao, please come this way."

Eunuch Zhao happily followed him and walked out the door.

When they arrived outside the mansion, Butler Wang stuffed a box that had been prepared in advance into Eunuch Zhao's sleeve, "We, Mr. Lu, hope that Eunuch Zhao will accept your kindness to Eunuch Zhao."

Just as Eunuch Zhao was about to refuse, Steward Wang added, "My lord, we sent people to look for them for a long time and finally found them. These two are extraordinary and are called victorious generals."

When Eunuch Zhao heard this, he immediately took the box, opened it and took a look. He smiled happily and said, "Master Lu is interested, so we won't refuse."

Butler Wang smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhao, walk slowly."

After Eunuch Zhao got on the carriage, he opened the box and happily teased the crickets inside with his fingers. He felt in his heart that Lu Xingzhi was really different from other people.

Others gave him things, either gold, silver or jade, but Lu Xingzhi did the opposite.

However, one of his major hobbies in life is to fight crickets with others when he has nothing to do.

The few he had raised before were all dead. He was worried about where to find good crickets, so Lu Xingzhi sent them to him.

Eunuch Zhao was very happy.

Inside the mansion.

As soon as Eunuch Zhao left, Lu Shuangshuang exclaimed with uncontrollable joy, "Eldest brother has been promoted to minister? This is really great!"

She felt uncomfortable when she thought about being slighted and neglected at Mrs. Li's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet yesterday.

Especially the one named Guo Manrou, because her father was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, she was arrogant and superior to others.

Now, the eldest brother has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and is still the head of the six departments. Those people no longer dare to look down on her.

Thinking about it, Lu Shuangshuang jumped for joy.

Father Lu and Mother Lu had also come to their senses at this time, and looked at Lu Xingzhi with joy. They thought of something, and then looked at Qiao Jingjing, "This is really a happy event!" Apparently remembering what Qiao Jingjing said yesterday. happy event.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lu Xingzhi, who looked calm, and said with a smile: "I'm not lying to you, it's really a happy event."

Father Lu nodded, with mixed feelings, "This is a good thing to honor our ancestors..."

Seeing this, Mother Lu patted him on the back, and he calmed down a lot. She held her hand and said, "Our A Xing is going to make a difference."

"Yes." Mother Lu nodded, with tears flashing in her eyes. After a long time, she turned her head and looked at the sky outside. She didn't know what she thought of, and her expression was a little dazed.
