Chapter 18

After Lu Fanghua came out of Charity Hall, he went to Baocui Pavilion where Lu Fangai lived. After staying in Baocui Pavilion for a while, there was a burst of ping-ping-pong-pong inside, and then it gradually quieted down. Then a maid took a letter and hurriedly Leaving the Lu Mansion.

In the afternoon, shopkeeper Sun brought a cart full of things and four maidservants to Lu's residence.

A big box and a big box were moved to Hancui Pavilion. Everyone who watched was eager to see that the Ji family in Huai'an was rich, and there were countless properties in Jinling alone. Maybe this box was full of gold, silver and jewelry. .

Lu Xiaoning rewarded shopkeeper Sun and let him go back first, and then let the four girls meet Anxiu.

"This is Bai Zhi, this is Shanglu, this is Xiwu, and this is Cardamom, all of them served the eldest lady before." Du Ruo introduced.

Anxiu nodded, wrote down the names one by one, and said with a smile: "Miss' maids are all named after medicinal materials."

"Isn't it? Miss just likes tinkering with medicinal materials." Du Ruo chuckled.

Lu Xiaoning warned: "You guys will listen to An Xiu's orders in the future, and An Xiu will do whatever he wants."

"Yes." The four girls all agreed.

Then Lu Xiaoning started to organize things in front of An Xiu.

An Xiuyuan also thought like everyone else, thinking that there must be a lot of gold and silver treasures inside, who knew that when the box was opened, there were books on medicine, various bottles and cans, and clothes and jewelry. I have counted Miss's jewellery, a box full of them.

Lu Xiaoning checked the bottles and cans, they were all good, none of the bottles were broken, which showed that he was very careful on the road.

Looking up, seeing Anxiu's calm and calm face, without any disappointment, Lu Xiaoning smiled heartily, she was quite calm.

She knew very well that people in the Lu residence were all staring at these boxes, and the old lady would definitely ask An Xiu to ask, so she sorted them out in front of An Xiu.

The old lady will definitely be disappointed when she gets the report.

In fact, they are blind, her medical books and these bottles and jars are the most valuable things, and her plan to make money depends on them.

Sure enough, not long after, Anxiu made an excuse to go out.

Du Ruo said worriedly: "Miss, you let us all listen to An Xiu, but An Xiu is the old lady's eyeliner here, and your every move is under the old lady's nose."

Lu Xiaoning said disapprovingly: "Everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages, and disadvantages are not necessarily bad things. At least Anxiu is here, Madam's people can't get in, old madam won't have any evil intentions, but madam can It’s not necessarily true, maybe it’s poisonous in tea or food, it’s hard to guard against.”

And Anxiu has another advantage here, what she wants the old lady to see, the old lady can only see what.Of course, Lu Xiaoning would not say this.

Du Ruo was horrified: "Is it so scary?"

Lu Xiaoning said sternly: "I'm not joking with you. I'm alarmist. Here, every action, word and deed must be cautious. This place is not comparable to Ji's family. You all need to be more vigilant to me."

Nono, everyone.

Du Ruo took Bai Zhi and the others to resettle, while Lu Xiaoning looked at the clothes in the closet and thought about what to wear tomorrow.

In the Charity Hall, the old lady waved Anxiu down, and sighed with dissatisfaction: "It seems that the old woman in Huai'an Mansion is not worried about our Lu family."

Mama Liu lowered her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, it's not for you, it should be for Madam... After all, Missy, her mother and Madam..."

Instead, Liu Ma smiled and said, "Mrs. Ji gave birth to three sons and only has such a daughter, a niece. She must love her dearly in her heart. Maybe she wants to add makeup to the eldest lady after she gets married. With such a heart, Mrs. Ji can't help but love her, didn't you also give the emerald hairpin to the eldest lady?"

Only then did the old lady's complexion soften a little, she squinted at Liu Ma, and said angrily, "I see you got a gift from Xiao Ning, and you were bought by her, and you talked to her all the time."

Liu Ma said with a smile: "Missy, is it because of your face that you lift up your servants? I heard that among the servants of the Hefu, the eldest lady gave the slaves this dignity, which shows that the eldest lady is wholeheartedly wanting to hug you, a big tree." gone."

The old lady's brows and eyes widened, and she sighed with a smile: "Xiao Ning is not the only big tree hugged by me. The Chen family can give Xiao Ning such a big face. The child's blessing is yet to come."

"Isn't it? The Chen family has always been proud, ordinary people can't get into their eyes, and everyone is rumoring that the Second Miss Chen is the future mother of a country that the emperor favors. Now that the eldest lady has become close friends with her, I still worry about it." There is no day of prosperity? There is also that Mr. Chen, who is outstanding in talent and learning, and crowned Jinghua. Next year's spring will definitely shine, and it is also expected that he will ascend to the pavilion in the future. Madam, if the servant is a little exaggerated, maybe Lu The future of the mansion has to be pointed at the eldest lady." Liu Ma said with a smile.

Liu Ma's words made the old lady fall into deep thought.

It's not that she hadn't thought about the future of the Lu family before. Youren has now reached the position of Minister of Rites. It's not impossible, but it's also difficult. Lou's cousin in the palace is now just a It's just a noble concubine, who is favored right now, but how many of the three thousand beauties in the harem can be honored and favored forever?Being favored right now has not brought any benefits to the Lu family, on the contrary, it has invested a lot, and it seems that there is no hope.

Looking at the younger ones, as the eldest grandson, Chengsi has always been mediocre in his studies, so Youren is very worried about this, fearing that Chengsi will not even be able to earn the status of a fellow Jinshi in the future, Chengxun is still young, and his body is weak... ...Fanghua looks like a first-class person, and she may be able to marry into a noble family in the future. There is still some hope, but Fang Ai is fine. Among the children, Fang Ai is the most willful. I don't know when she will be sensible.

All these possibilities are not as real as a post or a letter from the Chen family today, which made her see the most likely future.

The old lady's expression was slightly condensed, and the weight of Lu Xiaoning in her heart became a little heavier, and she said seriously: "You should also pay more attention to the Hancui Pavilion, don't let others play tricks on you."

Liu Ma's eyes flickered slightly, and she responded obediently: "Your maidservant knows."

"Also, later, you go to Hancui Pavilion and see what clothes the eldest lady has prepared for tomorrow's Begonia Flower Banquet. This matter must not be careless. If there is anything missing, I don't have it, so I will go to the madam to ask for it." , just say what I ordered." The old lady said again.

The smile on Liu Ma's lips deepened a bit, and she said with a smile: "The old lady also said that the servant is facing the eldest lady, but from the servant's point of view, it is you, the old lady, who are facing the eldest lady."

The old lady shot her a look: "What nonsense? I'm not afraid that Xiao Ning will be rude tomorrow? After all, she is the eldest lady of our Lu family. Oh, when I think of tomorrow, I panic in my heart. Don't Whatever goes wrong."

Madam Liu comforted her with a smile: "You can rest easy, old lady. Even Mrs. Chen can look up to the eldest lady, so it can be seen that the eldest lady has a sense of propriety and can't go wrong."
