Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 23
Lu Zhichen came back from the shop early today, as soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he saw his little sister lying comfortably on the chair, playing with the koi in the lake, she looked as happy as a fairy.

"Yo, third brother, how early is it today?" Lu Ziyu didn't get up, but still lazily nestled on the chair, raised the woolen blanket up with his bare hands, and spoke in a soft voice.

Today Lu Zhichen was wearing a satin gown of white moon, and his steps were light and sparkling. His blue silk was fixed with a jade-encrusted gold crown, and he still looked suave and handsome, with only a little stubble on his chin. Maybe it was because of his busy work in the past few days. Forget about shaving.

When he got closer, Lu Ziyu saw that although his third brother had changed into clean clothes, his face was still a little tired, and his eyes were bloodshot. He must have stayed up all night in the shop last night, and his heart ached. A few points.

"Luo Ning, go and get a bowl of ginger tea stewed in our yard for Third Young Master." He raised his hand to call Luo Ning, and gave careful instructions.

"Hey" Luo Ning responded, and hurriedly walked towards the small kitchen in Lanyue Pavilion.

Since the beginning of winter, the ginger tea in Lanyue Pavilion has been stewed every day. Miss Ai Qingyan doesn't want to wear those thick clothes in winter. I didn't dare to persuade her, so I had to prepare more ginger tea to keep the young lady away from the cold, for fear that it would cause some illness in the future.

Hearing that his sister was attached to him, his heart warmed a little, and the corners of his mouth moved: "Third brother, I am not as delicate as you!"

After all, with his hands behind his back, there was a bit of a joke in his eyes.

He sniffed in the direction of his sister with his nose, and frowned: "Hey, I said, did you eat mutton early in the morning? Why does your body smell like mutton?"

"It's not your wool blanket that makes people smell bad. Ripple was incensed this morning, but it stinks after covering it with the things you sent." Lu Ziyu gave him an annoyed look, got up and put The woolen blanket was thrown on the chair.

"Don't like it? Then give it back to me?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to take it, but was slapped.

"Ouch..." Lu Zhichen gasped in pain and exclaimed.

"How dare you take back what you gave to others?" He raised his hand and poked his brother's heart.

Looking at her stingy look, how could she look a little like her brother Lu Ziyu?
Having experienced his little sister's cruel nature, Lu Zichen scratched her nose, with an extremely doting face on his face: "I know you like it."

The little maids around also had smiles on their faces when they saw the two brothers and sisters bickering, feeling the warmth of the Duke's Mansion on weekdays.

Shen Lan, who had nothing to do, just came out of the yard and saw her children playing and playing by the lake, and she felt some emotion in her heart. She stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and sighed softly.

Danzhi, the maid next to her, is an old man who follows Shen Lan after all, so how could she not know what she was thinking at this moment: "Look, madam, the third son and fourth miss have grown up, why is my wife still The beauty has not changed for many years."

Knowing that Dan Zhi was comforting himself, but his face was also stained with joy: "I think you are the sweetest in our house, didn't you come from a honeypot?"

Danzhi is actually quite true. The Fourth Miss likes to tinker with beauty and beauty products, so she sends a lot to their yard on weekdays, such as milk-based beauty cream, aloe vera anti-scar cream, orchid-stuffed hair oil, Not to mention that Madam has been taking care of her carefully over the years, and she still looks as beautiful and charming as a young woman in her early teens.

"You two ghost spirits, what are you talking about? Let my mother listen too." Shen Lan smiled, raised her skirt and walked to the side of the two.

Seeing their mother coming, the two stopped their bickering.

"Why does mother come out for a stroll?" Lu Ziyu took two steps forward, supported Shen Lan's arm, leaned his head on his shoulder again, like a naive little girl acting like a spoiled child.

"What? You took care of this yard?" Lu Zhichen raised his eyebrows with his arms around his chest, and laughed back.

Daddy and mother dotes on my little sister the most, and send all new and interesting things to her yard first, but myself and my second brother have suffered a lot, but what can I do?Who made my little sister have a very good color, and I don't know which brat can be cheaper in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhichen felt uncomfortable, after all, this was the younger sister whom the three of them regarded as a treasure since childhood.

"It's time for lunch, let's use it in your mother's yard. Today Qin's mother is cooking braised chestnut chicken and green snail shrimp." It will be noon, and Shen Lan is also afraid that it will be a big day, so she wants the two of them to go to her own yard. a while.

The three of them turned to Ruohe Garden.

Ruoheyuan is the residence of Lu Jinyan and Shen Lan, and the scenery is also unique.

Shen Lan ordered Danzhi to put the tables and chairs outside in the corridor, and then he would enjoy the scenery and eat outside after a while.

"Where's Daddy?" Lu Zhichen sat down and saw that the meal time was approaching, but he didn't see his father yet, so he asked his mother aloud.

"Your father hasn't been in good shape all day long, so early in the morning, he had an appointment with an ancient official in the western suburbs to drink tea and listen to music." Shen Lan snorted tenderly, with a displeased expression on her face, and said, "You guys will do what you can do for him now." I did everything, and he went on a tour all day long, and he didn't know to take me with him."

Lu Ziyu hurriedly winked at his third brother.

Danzhi came just in time, and served a few dishes, all of which were of excellent quality, worthy of the skill of Mama Qin, who is known as the number one chef in Suzhou.

During the dinner, the two brothers and sisters of the Lu family teased Shen Lan for a while, which made Shen Lan pinch the handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled coquettishly.

After the meal, after tasting a few cups of tea, Shen Lan yawned and felt a little sleepy, so Danzhi sent the two of them out of He Ruoyuan's door.

On the way, Lu Ziyu stopped his third elder brother and asked, "Has there been any business dealings with the Jia family in the shop recently?"

Lu Zhichen was taken aback by the question, and didn't understand why the younger sister asked this, but he turned his eyes and thought about it for a while: "There are too many small ones, but there are a few big ones in the cloth workshop of the pharmacy, the winery and the bank."

Hearing this, Zhu lips curled up, as long as there are a few big business deals, this time even the gods can't keep his Jia family.

"Cut the business off!"

"Ah! Crazy? If this business is cut off, more than a few thousand taels of silver will be lost. Why did the Jia family provoke you?"

What is silver?It's Lu Zichen's lifeblood. It's better to cut off his flesh if he cut off a few thousand taels of business for nothing. But if the Jia family provokes their Lu family's treasure, Lu Zhichen wants the Jia family to pay for everything. Not left.

Seeing the heartache on his third brother's face, Lu Ziyu raised his eyelids in disgust: "Look at how you treat money like your life, I will make up for you from Mu Cangzhai!"

Outsiders don't know how much his sister is worth, how can he, Lu Zhichen, not know?This Mu Cangzhai's one-month income can cover the annual expenditure of the Duke's mansion. If you want to say that you have a lot of money, it is really your own little sister.

"All right, all right, just do what you said." Lu Zhichen rubbed his big hands and grinned foolishly when he heard that he couldn't lose money.

Hearing that the third brother answered him, Lu Ziyu turned around and walked towards his yard without further words, with a contemptuous smile on his face: "No matter who it is, I can't stop my Lu family from returning to the capital. I've cut off your money, and you're not paying too much." Put salt!"

　Lu Sanshao: "Thank you to the young masters who sent tickets yesterday, thank you for your support ~ I will always open my arms to you, good night!"
