Chapter 130 Giving gifts, slapping the face
"A-Ning, why are you getting more and more stupid! That bitch is dead, can you and I say clearly that it was the Guangping Marquis who killed her?" Mrs. Gao glanced angrily at Mrs. Gao, " At that time, I will say that she will feel hurt when she comes back, and she is afraid of being judged, so she can't think about hanging herself for a while! That bitch said that she still has a relationship with Mrs. Gong, huh, if Mrs. Gong really spoils her like before , would you be willing to let her come back and bear the reputation of being abandoned? Therefore, Mrs. Gong must have been dissatisfied with her, and she just talked about it out of affection."
Just now Gao was shocked by Lu Xinyan's move out of Feng's name, she didn't think about it for a while, but after Lu Xinyan left, she thought about it again and felt that Lu Xinyan must be lying!They have already reconciled, and Feng's treatment of her will never be the same as before!
"My aunt is right, it's my niece who was thinking about it for a while." Xiao Gao quickly said: "My niece immediately told Madam Che to arrange this matter."
Gao frowned unhappily, "I asked you to do it, why did you arrange for Madam Che?"
Xiao Gao explained: "The people around my niece are clumsy and timid, and my niece feels that the less people know about this, the better!"
She said so, but she thought in her heart, Aunt, this is murder. If someone finds out, you push me, and then I will kill you, and you will enjoy the power and money all by yourself, so stupid How could I possibly do such a thing?
Gao thought for a while with a sullen face, "Then you should explain clearly to Madam Che, and supervise yourself, so that nothing goes wrong."
Ah Ning, Ah Ning, you are getting more and more calculating now, let my people arrange this matter, and when something happens, you can push it all away!But how could I let you sit back and enjoy the benefits?
Xiao Gao gave a sound in his heart, and said respectfully on his face: "Yes, aunt, niece will do it now."
The two aunts and nephews separated with their own ulterior motives.
-
Huanxiyuan.
Three beautiful girls with somewhat similar appearances were having tea and chatting in a room.
The three of them all have a pair of clear water-like eyes similar to Lu Xinyan's. When the beautiful eyes are looking forward, they have a charming and bright temperament, but Lu Xinyan's brows have a bit of domineering and evil charm, forming a unique lightness. , in comparison, the three of them seemed much vulgar.
The one in the middle is wearing a light crimson skirt with exquisite magnolia embroidered on the neckline, making her complexion like jade, pink and glowing, delicate and unparalleled. The most outstanding of men.
Sitting on the left is Lu Xinhan from Aunt Liu. She is fifteen years old and wears a pink shirt. She looks pretty and gentle, but there is always a calculating light in her eyes.
On the right is the eldest daughter of the second room, Lu Xinyun, who is fourteen years old, wearing a water-colored skirt and a [-]% new concubine-colored beanie.
There are four masters in the mansion. The uncle Lu Congyuan and the third master Lu Congyi are born of the Gao family, the second master Lu Congde and the fourth master Lu Congren are concubines. The son of a concubine even didn't want to look at it. If the old uncle hadn't made a will before his death, if the family was divided, how would the family property be distributed?
Although they all live in the uncle's house now, the treatment of the second and fourth bedrooms is very different, and one can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the clothes the three of them wear.
Originally, Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan were both concubines, and they were a united front against Lu Xinyan since they were young. Later, when Xiao Gao's family was restored, their identities were different. On the surface, their relationship seemed to be good, but secretly it was a little subtle.
Because Lu Xinyun is the second wife, she has been their follower since she was a child, so they follow her lead.
At this moment, she ate the apple in Lu Xinwan's room, and said vaguely: "Didn't that Lu Xinyan be driven back today? This Huanxiyuan was originally her place, and now the second sister lives, so where does she live?"
In order to show the front, the three of them have called each other sister and sister since they were young, and they always call Lu Xinyan by their first names no matter in front of them or behind their backs, and of course Lu Xinyan does the same to the three of them.
"There are so many courtyards in the uncle's mansion, there will always be a place for her to live." Lu Xinhan put down the embroidery needle in her hand, seemingly unintentionally said: "When I came here just now, I heard the talk from the maids in the mansion that the young lady went to Guangping After staying in the Hou Mansion for three years, it seems like a different person when I come back, that appearance..."
She didn't seem to know what to say or not, Lu Xinyun asked impatiently, "How does that look?"
"The maids say they are prettier than the fairies in the sky." Lu Xinhan said, and glanced at Lu Xinwan quietly.
Lu Xinwan drank tea indifferently, she had a graceful posture, and her every move was beautiful, but she thought in her heart, if she was really more beautiful than a fairy in the sky, would Prince Guangping be willing to let her back?Could it be that the son was blind and couldn't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?
Lu Xinyun cut it, took a bite of the apple, chewed it a few times and swallowed it indiscriminately, "I don't believe it, is it more beautiful than the second sister?" It's so delicious, only Dafang has such delicious fruit!
"Well, the maids are spreading it like this..." Lu Xinhan finished in a low voice, and then said: "Maybe the maids are just spreading the word, our second sister's appearance, except for the princess in the palace, who else can compare?"
"Not all the princesses in the palace are comparable to the second sister. For example, Princess Chang'an, I heard that she is dark, ugly and fat... um..."
Lu Xinhan hurriedly covered Lu Xinyun's mouth, "Eat your apple, can we talk about the princess in the palace? If someone listens to it, our uncle's house can't eat it and walk around!"
Lu Xinyun said vaguely: "That's the way it is, and I'm not wrong."
Seeing that Lu Xinwan also glared at her, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Lu Xinwan put down the teacup, and said with a little pride: "Hearing what the third sister said, I really want to see Lu Xinyan."
Lu Xinhan said: "Second sister, how about I send someone to find out which courtyard she lives in?"
Lu Xinwan was about to respond, when she suddenly heard the surprised voice of her eldest maid Fei Cui outside the door, "Miss? Why are you here?"
Then a melodious voice, like bagpipes under the moon, faintly sounded, "This is my yard, who else should I ask for advice?"
"Miss, the second miss lives in this courtyard now," Fei Cui said proudly, "there are still a few empty courtyards in the mansion, such as Lanyue Courtyard and Ruyi Courtyard, these two courtyards are no worse than Huanxi Courtyard. Which yard do you like, I will let the slaves guide you."
"Jade, isn't it?" Lu Xinyan smiled gently, and when Jade thought she had been dismissed by what she just said, she saw the corners of her lips twitch, "Go and tell Lu Xinwan to let her pick a yard to move, within half an hour If it’s not finished, I’ll have someone throw it away.”
Because Fei Cui is Lu Xinwan's eldest maid, she walks around in the mansion quite a lot, even the second and fourth servants of the concubine are respectful to her when they see her. Now, a young lady who has been driven back, dare to be so arrogant?She was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.
"Hey, Lu Xinyan, why are you so domineering?" Lu Xinyun was the first to rush out and put her hands on her hips to argue, "The second sister has lived in this yard for three years, why should I give it to you as soon as you come back? There are so many empty yards, why do you insist on grabbing this yard?"
"Lu Xinyun, this yard was originally my yard, do I agree to let her live there?" Lu Xinyan squinted at Lu Xinyun, who was half a head shorter than her, "It's a thief if you don't ask! I won't be polite to thieves. "
"Why are you not a thief, Lu Xinyan, why do you speak so badly?" Lu Xinyun glanced at Lu Xinyan contemptuously, and found that she was as good-looking as the maids said in private. She felt a little sour in her heart, and couldn't help muttering: "No wonder he was driven back by the Guangping Marquis."
Lu Xinyan smiled coldly, "Why, the master didn't dare to come out and let your vicious dog out to bark?"
In the past, Lu Xinyun often followed Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan to bully her, so Lu Xinyan would not be polite to her.
Being scolded as a dog, Lu Xinyun blushed with anger, and was about to rush over to find Lu Xinyan to reason with, but then Lu Xinhan who came out stretched out her hand and grabbed her, "Fourth sister, don't be impulsive, don't be angry with yourself if some people deliberately pick you up."
Lu Xinwan, who came out last, saw that Lu Xinyan's face was not inferior to hers, and the long-lost jealousy was ignited again.
It is obvious that my father and my mother really love each other, but I have no choice but to marry this lowly girl's mother as the main wife, and let my mother be wronged as a concubine;
Obviously the eldest brother can be named the son of the world, but my father adopted the eldest brother as a foster son because of the scruples of this lowly girl's mother, so it is difficult to be named now;
Obviously, I should have been the concubine lady of Ankangbo Mansion Ming Zhengyan Shun in the morning, but I have been a concubine for 12 years in vain. Even if Aniang corrects herself and becomes a concubine, she is still short compared to those young ladies who are born as concubine half head!
All of this was caused by this bitch in front of me and her bitch!
Now she is Miss Di, she Lu Xinyan is just a divorced woman who was driven back, why is she still domineering in front of her?
Lu Xinwan looked at Lu Xinyan contemptuously, "Lu Xinyan, do you think this uncle's mansion is still the uncle's mansion when your mother was alive? Now this uncle's mansion, my mother is the serious head of the house, Mrs. Uncle! If you are obedient and sensible , Tucking your tails to be a man makes me happy, I can consider making it easier for you, but if not, hmph, I will let you know who is in charge of this uncle's house now!"
Lu Xinyan looked her up and down, smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for three years, but you are much prettier than me."
Lu Xinwan snorted proudly, thinking that you are wise!
"The title of the idiot beauty in Beijing is really well-deserved!"
"Lu Xinyan!" Lu Xinwan blushed angrily. It was the biggest shame in her life to be secretly called an idiot beauty. She is obviously very smart, okay?But those people have never dared to say it behind their backs. Has anyone ever said it in front of her so openly?
She was so angry that she pointed her hands, "What are you? Fei Cui, find someone to drive this bitch out of my yard, no, out of the uncle's house!"
"Yes, miss." Fei Cui yelled loudly, "Come here, drive out these bastards for Second Miss!"
"Yes!" There were no less than ten people from Lu Xinwan in the Huanxi Courtyard, the maids and mothers gathered together, all gearing up.
Lu Xinyan didn't even bother to look, "Qingtong, make a quick decision, Xia Zhixingluo, start throwing everything in the yard out!"
"Yes, miss." Qingtong Xiazhi received the order, and acted bluntly.
The three of Lu Xinwan didn't blink a few times, they saw the dozen or so maids and mothers laying on the ground with broken hands and broken feet, howling.
At the same time, the clothes and jewelry in Lu Xinwan's room were thrown out of the yard one by one.
"Lu Xinyan, you're too deceitful! I'm going to tell my grandmother and daddy to drive you out!" Hearing the sound of the broken porcelain, Lu Xinwan's heart felt like bleeding.
Those are all kept in the treasury, but they are temporarily placed here with her. Now that they are broken, she can either pay for compensation, or slowly deduct them from the monthly silver. Since Lin Ruyue passed away, Lu Xinyan married into the Guangping Houfu Later, her monthly bill was less than every month, and now it is only one tael per month, so how much is left after deducting it?
Lu Xinyan shrugged her shoulders and made a gesture of invitation, "Welcome to sue." Lu Xinwan used to be best at suing. Gao Shi stood by her side, and Lu Congyuan ignored her. Scolding, now, Lu Xinyan wished she could file a complaint, so they just cleaned up together and vented their anger on the mother and daughter of the original owner!
"Miss, I've finished throwing away the things in the house, the things at the door of this house..." Xing Luo secretly looked at Lu Xinwan and the others.
"Throw it away." Lu Xinyan said lightly.
Lu Xinwan and the other three were still angry, they didn't realize that they were about to face a catastrophe.
When they were picked up like cargo and passively moved out of the yard, Lu Xinwan and the others realized that they were about to be thrown, "Lu Xinyan, how dare you treat us like this!?"
"No wonder it is said that the Lu family in Ankangbo Mansion are all beauties, and now they are all in their hands, and they ask me if I dare?" Lu Xinyan shook her head and sneered.
There were several pounding sounds, accompanied by three shouts from Lu Xinwan.
Lu Xinyan didn't bother to pay attention, stretched her waist, "I changed all the things inside."
"Yes!"
After joining Xia Zhixingluo, the efficiency of Huanxi Courtyard is much faster than that of Pomegranate Courtyard, Lu Xinyan is very satisfied.
There are not many things going on in the Taipu Temple today, and Lu Congyuan, the Minister of the Taipu Temple, has something to do in the mansion today, so he let him go early. As for the reason, of course, there is no need to elaborate.
When Lu Congyuan came back, his expression was very bad.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, Lu Xinwan, Lu Xinhan and Lu Xinyun complained in tears.
"Father, Eldest Sister went too far. As soon as I came back, she kicked me out of Huanxiyuan without saying a word, and even had someone beat me up." Lu Xinwan stretched out her skinned hand and cried.
Lu Xinhan wiped away tears, "Father, this time you have to make the decision for the second sister, it is the elder sister who is unreasonable first."
Lu Xinyun said angrily, "Uncle, the eldest sister must be jealous of the beauty of the second and third sisters, and wanted to hurt them. Anyway, she herself doesn't know whether she will be able to get married in the future. She just wants the second and third sisters to ruin her face and leave scars. I can't find a good home."
Xiao Gao originally thought that she would poison her to death later, so let's forget about the complaint, but when the three of Lu Xinwan talked about it, she couldn't help but said: "Master, you really have to talk about your heart, once she comes back, you will Calling my concubine Tall Auntie, and resolutely refusing to call her mother, this is clearly dissatisfied with the decision of you and your aunt! My aunt wanted to betroth her to Ling'er. Not only did she not obey her aunt's words, she even hurt Ling'er, poor Ling'er One arm was broken, and now she is lying unconscious on the bed, if something bad happens, how will I explain to my eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Xiao Gao's voice was crying at the end.
Lu Congyuan was furious, "Come here, bring that rebellious girl here!"
Huanxiyuan had just been tidied up, and when Lu Xinyan was about to take a nap, Madam Lu said that Uncle Ma had sent Housekeeper Ma to see her.
The complaint of the three of Lu Xinwan was really fast, Lu Xinyan stretched her neck, "Speak to Butler Ma, I'll go right away."
Lu Congyuan and Xiao Gao lived in Jinse Courtyard, the courtyard where Lin Ruyue lived was not far from Huanxi Courtyard.
In order to take care of Lu Xinyan conveniently, Lin Ruyue purposely expanded the small courtyard near Jinse Courtyard into Huanxi Courtyard, allowing Lu Xinyan to live in it.
Lu Xinyan walked along with Qingtong, and found that many decorations in Jinse Courtyard had changed.
The most obvious thing is that there used to be a rainwater pavilion built on the lotus pond. The lotus pond is full of pink and white lotus. Every summer, Lin Ruyue will bring Lu Xinyan to enjoy the lotus in the water pavilion, or It is to let the maid row to pick the lotus.
Lin Ruyue regards Lu Xinyan as her own eyeball, and doesn't let her do anything slightly dangerous. This activity of picking lotus pods is the only dangerous activity Lin Ruyue allows. Whenever this time is, the relationship between mother and daughter is the best when.
Now the waterside pavilion is gone, the lotus pond has been filled, and Xiao Gao’s favorite peach tree has been planted, and it has become a peach forest. In the early winter, the branches of the peach tree are bare and desolate.
As she walked further in, Lu Xinyan found that the things that Lin Ruyue liked in the Jinse courtyard were gone, and now they were all replaced by things that Xiao Gao liked, declaring her sovereignty forcefully.
The corner of Lu Xinyan's mouth twitched, and she walked inside, and as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Congyuan glaring at her angrily.
Both men and women in Ankangbo Mansion are born with good looks, and Lu Congyuan is no exception. He is even the best among them. Some, it is reasonable to say that he is 30.
Lu Xinyan didn't know why Lin Ruyue fell in love with Lu Congyuan in the first place. Now that she actually saw the person, she had to suspect that Lin Ruyue's young girl Huaichun was deceived by Lu Congyuan's good looks. After she married in, she realized that she was a shameless and useless scum male.
"Naughty girl! Kneel down!" Lu Congyuan roared.
"Father, I don't know what mistake I made?" Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Her rebellious appearance is tantamount to challenging Lu Congyuan's authority. Lu Congyuan was furious, "Disrespecting my grandmother, disrespecting my aunt, beating my cousins and sisters, I don't have the appearance that a lady should have! Don't give me a hurry!" Kneel down?"
Compared to his anger, Lu Xinyan was completely calm, "Father, if you want to convict, should you listen to my explanation first?"
Lu Congyuan didn't like this daughter who was spoiled by Lin Ruyue in the past, she didn't know how to be polite, she didn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, she was self-willed, and she didn't know how to love her sisters. , he was even more displeased.
If it weren't for the fact that she held Lin Ruyue's huge dowry in her hands, he would never have let her enter this door!Anyway, from a long time ago, he pretended that he had never given birth to this daughter!
But the calm demeanor of the beautiful girl in front of him made him in a trance for a moment. Is this the daughter he hates the most, Lu Xinyan?
Lu Congyuan choked for a moment, suppressed his anger, "Say it!"
"About disrespecting my grandmother, when it comes to marriage, the order of my parents, the words of a matchmaker, although my grandmother is an elder, she is neither a father nor a mother, and my father is still alive. How can she be qualified to make a marriage contract for me directly? It's for nothing There is no reason to make people laugh! Second, my ex-mother-in-law just passed away. If I get married at this time, I will not tell what outsiders think, but what will outsiders think about Ankangbo Mansion? I am afraid they will say that Ankangbo Mansion is ruthless! So for Ankang The reputation of the uncle's mansion, I have already decided in my heart to keep a filial piety for my ex-mother-in-law for half a year! If the two are combined, I will naturally not be able to obey my grandmother's arrangement. What do you think, father?" Lu Xinyan asked rhetorically.
Lu Congyuan thought about it carefully, and felt that what he had discussed with the elder and younger Gao family before, to let Lu Xinyan be Gao Ling's concubine as soon as he came back, seemed a bit hasty.
But having said that, it was all Lu Xinyan's fault, who only sent someone to inform them about the reconciliation yesterday, which made them mess up and made a hasty decision.
He snorted, but made no sound.
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, "Speaking of the marriage contract, let me just talk about the beating of my cousin by the way. Grandma just mentioned the marriage contract, and before I had time to reason with my grandmother, the so-called cousin rushed up and made a move! The daughter of the uncle's family, but returned to Ankangbo Mansion, representing the identity of the daughter of Ankangbo Mansion, a eldest daughter of the uncle's mansion, not to mention an incomprehensible cousin, even a nobleman, can't tolerate wanton contempt! Otherwise, who will respect the Ankang Mansion's daughter when she goes out in the future? For the sake of the Ankang Mansion, I asked someone to teach my so-called cousin a lesson, and severely warned him that the Ankang Manor's daughter is sacred and inviolable. I believe that outsiders will only talk about Zhenlie, the daughter of Ankangbo Mansion, and never say that she has no tutor to beat her cousin! Father, do you think so?" Finally, she asked again.
After saying these words, Lu Congyuan's anger dissipated again. The daughters of Ankangbo's House are all outstanding, and he still counts on some of them to be able to climb high branches and help him to have a smooth career. This reputation cannot be ruined no matter what!
Seeing his expression, Lu Xinyan smiled lightly, and said, "Let's talk about the beating of my sister. This Huanxi Courtyard was originally my yard. It was specially built by my mother for me. Even if I get married, I will always come back to visit relatives." One day, after the eldest daughter of another uncle's mansion married, didn't the yard be reserved for her? There are only two cases if it is not reserved, one is that the married lady has passed away, and the other is that the mansion is struggling, the yard is not enough, and there is no money To expand the mansion, I had to divide the yard of my married daughter. Firstly, I am still alive, and secondly, the economic situation of our uncle’s mansion used to be at the forefront of Beijing Zhongbo’s mansion, and there are still some empty yards in the mansion. Living in my yard, I really don’t know what her intentions are? I am the eldest sister, no matter why she wanted to live in it before, after I come back, shouldn’t she respect the elder sister and return the yard to me? Since Xinwan doesn’t know how to respect the elder sister Sister, there is a problem with tutoring. As the eldest sister, I have the obligation to teach her, so as not to be laughed at by the people in the capital, our tutor in Ankangbo Mansion! Throwing her out is a bit rude, but the intention is good, I believe From now on, Xinwan won't dare to stop respecting elder sister, Xinwan, don't you think so?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Xinwan with a half-smile.
Lu Xinwan gave her a gouged look, then turned to Lu Congyuan to act coquettishly, "Father, my daughter is used to living in that Huanxiyuan, that Huanxiyuan is close to Dad's place, and my daughter wants to be able to see her anytime, Dad, you let my daughter live in it." Is it okay there?"
Originally, Lu Congyuan didn't care who lived where. What he was angry about was that Lu Xinyan caused trouble as soon as he came back. He just heard what Lu Xinyan said was reasonable. Letting go, Lu Xinyan said first: "Father, I have already put all the things in place. I have also asked people to pack up the things of Xinwan and send them to Lanyueyuan where she used to live, and then go back and forth. How troublesome is it?" Isn't it? Besides, Xinwan is not young, and it's time to talk about her in-law's family, so it's not good for Xinwan to get a bad reputation because of this matter."
As long as the reputation of the uncle's house is involved in everything, Lu Congyuan has to think twice, "Okay, Xinwan, you have filial piety to daddy, daddy knows that Lanyue Court is not far from daddy's place, what do you think?" All times come."
With the final word, Lu Xinwan gritted her teeth with hatred. She was not trying to show her filial piety, but Lu Xinyan used to live in Huanxiyuan as a legitimate daughter, and she moved in to show her status as a legitimate daughter!
Seeing that her daughter was deflated, Lu Xinyan repeatedly retracted her confession, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Master, the eldest lady kept calling my concubine Gao Gao and auntie, and even ordered my concubine to only call her eldest lady. If this gets out, people will definitely be laughed at." The rules of our uncle's house!"
Since you use reputation and rules to excuse yourself, then I will use the same method to deal with you!Xiao Gao glanced at Lu Xinyan provocatively.
Lu Congyuan said angrily: "What's the point? Why didn't you call your mother, why didn't you let her call your name?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Father, I have already told Aunt Gao that before Auntie passed away, she told me that I am not allowed to call other people mothers! I cannot go against Auntie's wishes!"
"Ridiculous! You can't teach your daughter well when you're alive, and you'll make trouble when you're dead! Hmph!" Speaking of his dead wife, Lu Congyuan's face didn't show any longing, but deep disgust and contempt.
Lu Xinyan wished she could rush up and slap him twice!In order to prevent Lu Congyuan from uttering more unpleasant words, she said first: "Father, why don't you let me go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Auntie? Mother, if something happens in the middle, it means that A Niang is still unwilling in the spirit of heaven, then there is nothing I can do!"
With Qingtong around, wouldn't it be easy to do some tricks?Lu Xinyan's move was to give the title of Aunt Gao to death.
"You, a woman who was divorced, actually want to enter the ancestral hall to worship?" Lu Xinwan interjected in disbelief.
The Ankangbo Mansion is different from the Guangping Hou Mansion. Because the Guangping Hou Mansion has a small population, except for the aunts in the mansion, the Feng family will bring them in to worship their ancestors on festivals and festivals, so as to appear prosperous!
There are four lords in Ankangbo Mansion, more than a dozen children and grandchildren, and now there are several pregnant aunts, so no one can enter the ancestral hall for the daughters of Ankangbo Mansion, and the daughter-in-law of Ankangbo Mansion can only enter the ancestral hall after death. The fireworks are worshiped by the descendants, and even the Gao family could not enter during his lifetime.
When Lu Xinyan made such an unruly request, Lu Xinwan was secretly delighted. When Lu Congyuan burst into flames at her, Lu Congyuan's expression changed first, and then he became angry from embarrassment: "After three years in Guangping Marquis' Mansion, the rules of Lianbo Mansion Have you forgotten? There is no reason for women to enter the ancestral hall! Regarding the address, you must call..."
"Master! Gongsun Gongzi of Princess Yunyang's family sent someone to give gifts." Steward Ma's surprised voice came from outside, interrupting Lu Congyuan's words.
Lu Congyuan was a little annoyed at first, but when he heard that it was Gongsun Mobai who gave the gift, he was overjoyed, "Come in, please!"
As Gongsun Mobai, he associates with relatives of the emperor and belongs to the highest class in the capital. However, Ankangbo Mansion, even though it is a third-rank Marquis, has displeased the Empress Dowager because of some old events, and even officials of the third and fourth ranks are displeased. They don't have much contact with them, and the only ones they have been with are officials of the fifth and sixth ranks. These officials of the fifth and sixth ranks are all great officials outside the capital, but in the capital, they are low-level.
Gongsun Mobai, that is Lu Congyuan's unattainable object!
Now that he heard that Gongsun Mobai was giving a gift, Lu Congli didn't care who it was for, so he just asked someone to come in.
When Xiao Gao and Lu Xinwan nearby heard this, their hearts were pounding.
Lu Xinhan whispered: "Second sister, do you think the gift from Gongsun Gongzi is for you?"
Lu Xinyun interjected: "I guess it must be. Mr. Gongsun must have heard about the beauty of the second sister and was yearning for it, so he sent someone to give you a gift."
"Daughter, this Gongsun son's status is very great. Compared with those sons and grandsons who have been courteous to you in the past, they are one in the sky and the other in the earth. You must take good care of it!" Xiao Gao said hastily.
Lu Xinwan's face was blushing. Gongsun Mobai is a well-known romantic figure in the capital. Her family background, appearance and ability are all top-notch. She has long been yearning for it, but she only dared to think about it before. She didn't expect her dream to come true now, which made her so excited that she didn't know what to do. it is good!
Steward Ma brought in a young man with an extraordinary bearing. The man saluted neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "The young one is Jingshi, the young man next to Gongsun Gongzi of the eldest princess's mansion. By the order of my son, give..."
"Master!" An earth-shattering shout came from a distance, Lu Congyuan trembled with anger, who doesn't have eyes?Can't you see someone here?There is no place to lose the rules of the Bofu!He held back his anger, and when the boy ran up to him, he scolded, "Why are you yelling? Why are there no rules at all?"
"Old...Master," the boy stammered, ignoring being taught a lesson, "Third...Third Prince and Princess Chang'an have sent gifts!"
"What?" Lu Congyuan was so startled that he almost fell down. In the past, he never had a chance to meet such a high-level person, but as soon as he came today, he came here on his own initiative?
What is a good day today?
Xiao Gao was even more delighted from ear to ear. Gongsun Mobai is precious, and the third prince Wu Sheng is even more precious. If her daughter is chosen to become the third prince's concubine, she might be ordered by the queen to give birth to a prince. It is the emperor!Oh my god, I can't even think about it!The future queen comes from her belly, and the future emperor is her grandson!Just thinking about it makes me faint with happiness!
Seeing the family of the Anbohou Mansion, Jing Shi was stunned except for Lu Xinyan, a slight contempt flashed across the corner of his mouth, and said: "Uncle, since the third prince and Princess Chang'an have sent people, please let them in quickly. It’s not good to be slow.”
Only then did Lu Congyuan come back to his senses, and said excitedly, "Quick, quick, please!"
The members of the Xiao Gao family here also came back to their senses, Lu Xinyun said enviously: "Second sister, you are so lucky, even the third prince sent someone to give you gifts." As for why Princess Chang'an gave it, it must be because I heard that the second sister is good-looking , sent someone over to inquire about the news.
Xiao Gao said excitedly: "Daughter, the third prince is more honorable than Gongsun Gongzi. You should choose the third prince, but Gongsun Gongzi is a relative of the emperor, so you can't offend him. You have to be careful, you know?"
Lu Xinwan was dizzy from the sudden happiness. She had planned to marry a son of a second- and third-rank official's family before, but now the third prince also came here especially for him!This greatly increases her vanity!
"Got it, Auntie, my daughter is not the kind of person who only looks at her status. She chooses whoever treats her well." She said shyly.
Lu Xinhan looked at Lu Xinwan with jealousy in her eyes, but said with a smile on her face: "Second sister is really lucky."
Xiao Gao still wanted to persuade Lu Xinwan again, of course she had to choose the third prince, but seeing how many people came, she had no choice but to suppress her words first.
Steward Ma brought two people, one was a court lady in her thirties, and the other was a teenage eunuch.
The eunuch had delicate features, Lu Xinyan looked familiar, but the maid was an acquaintance.
Qingtong exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister Song Zhao."
When Song Zhao came in, he casually smiled at Lu Xinyan, and saluted Lu Congyuan together with the eunuch.
Even if there is a sweeping eunuch in the palace, Lu Congyuan can't afford to offend, not to mention that one of these two is a court lady next to Wu Zhen, and the other is a personal eunuch next to Wu Sheng. In terms of rank, they are higher than Lu Congyuan.
How could Lu Congyuan dare to accept the gift, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why the two masters are here?"
Song Zhaodao: "I am ordered by Princess Chang'an to give a gift to Miss Your Mansion."
The eunuch Xiao Yugong said: "I am ordered by the third prince to come to give a gift to Miss Your Mansion."
Jingshi is Gongsun Mobai's personal servant, he has been in the palace many times, and Gongsun Mobai has good friends with Wu Sheng and Wu Zhen, so he and Song Zhao and Xiao Yu's father-in-law are old acquaintances, "Sister Song Zhao, Xiao Yu's father-in-law , what a coincidence, I was also ordered by my son to give a gift to the young lady of Ankangbo Mansion."
Now that the three of them made it clear what they wanted to do, Lu Congyuan was overjoyed, and beckoned to Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan, "Xinwan Xinhan, come up to receive the gift."
Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan are the best-looking in Ankangbo Mansion, and they are quite famous in Beijing. Lu Congyuan naturally thinks that the gift from Wu Sheng, Wu Zhen and Gongsun Mobai is for them or one of them.
Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan stepped forward together, "Xinwan (Xinhan)..."
Rao Song Zhao and the others could not help being surprised at this time, even though they had cultivated a calm expression next to Wu Sheng and the others.
After the three of them exchanged glances, Song Zhao, who was the oldest, said, "Uncle, the two ladies, there may be some misunderstanding!"
Lu Congyuan and the others were stunned, "What do you mean?"
Song Zhaodao: "The princess asked me to give the gift to Miss Lu, Lu Xinyan! The princess knew that she was returning home today, so she sent a small gift as a token of her heart, and said that if the eldest lady encounters any difficulties in the future, the princess will do her best to help. After the young lady settles down in the Bo manor, the princess will personally invite the young lady to get together."
What?Lu Congyuan was dumbfounded, Xiao Gao was dumbfounded, Lu Xinwan, Lu Xinhan, and Lu Xinyun were dumbfounded!
Eunuch Xiao Yu said: "The third prince also confessed in the same way. If Miss Lu encounters difficulties, the third prince can take care of her."
Jing Shi said: "Since the eldest lady is surrounded by the third prince and Princess Chang'an, I will go back and tell the young master so that he can rest assured."
Little Gao's family Lu Xinwan was very angry. Why did a divorced woman who was driven back get so many nobles' respect?Four pairs of eyes looked at Lu Xinyan like four poisonous snakes.
Lu Congyuan looked at Lu Xinyan complicatedly.
He also heard about the rumors about Xiao Yichen's grandson Mo Bai Wusheng and Lu Xinyan's acquaintance, but he and his colleagues thought it was just a story spread by women, and no one cared about it. Just laugh it off.
But now it seems that this is clearly true!
If Lu Xinyan is surrounded by the third prince, things will be a little tricky after that!
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly at Song Zhao and the others, "Sister Song Zhao, Eunuch Xiaoyu, Brother Jingshi, please thank Princess Chang'an, the third prince, and Gongsun Gongzi for their kindness. Everything is fine when I come back, but Aniang's last wish cannot be fulfilled." ..."
Song Zhao was about to ask about his last wish, but Lu Congyuan immediately said: "Xinyan, Dad hasn't finished what he said just now. Regarding this address, you will continue to call Aunt Gao, Aning, and Aning will call you Miss, just like before. When your mother was alive, she was exactly the same!"
"Master!" Xiao Gao abruptly put on her aunt's hat again, and looked at Lu Congyuan in disbelief.
Lu Congyuan didn't have time to talk to her at this time, and showed a gentle smile to Lu Xinyan, "Xinyan, what do you think?"
"Thank you father, Auntie will be very relieved to be in the spirit of heaven." Lu Xinyan said.
Lu Congyuan was afraid that she would bring up the matter of going to the ancestral hall to worship again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Xinyan, why don't you take Miss Song Zhao, Eunuch Xiaoyu and Mr. Jingshi to your Huanxiyuan?"
Song Zhao and the others hurriedly declined, "Miss just came back, I won't disturb you any longer, the princess (third prince/son) is still waiting to go back and report, so I leave."
Lu Congyuan sent away Song Zhao and the others with a smile on his face.
Lu Xinyan achieved her goal, she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she also left and went back to Huanxiyuan.
Xiao Gao's family was overwhelmed with anger.
Especially Lu Xinwan, who originally thought everything belonged to her, but who knew it was just a daydream, her face became distorted with anger. When Lu Xinyan was at home, she was suppressed everywhere. The mansion rushed back to the mansion, but she was still suppressed, which made her unable to swallow the breath in her heart!
"Aniang!" Lu Xinwan said with red eyes: "Why did all the good things belong to her before, but now they are still hers? Aniang, I don't care, you help me fight for them!"
Xiao Gao was even angrier. She was already the legitimate Mrs. Ankang, but she was called aunt by a stepdaughter who went home from a divorce. Where did she put her face?
Lu Xinhan's eyes flashed, "Second sister, Lu Xinyan used to be Mrs. Guangping Hou Shizi, and she made a big splash at that Chinese clothing festival, and followed Feng into the palace. I guess those people saw her appearance and thought it was rare in the world. , That's why I showed her such kindness!"
Lu Xinyun snapped, "That's because they haven't met Second Sister! If they had met Second Sister, they would definitely not be like this!"
Lu Xinhan nodded and said: "I agree with the fourth sister's statement, but to be honest, Lu Xinyan's face is indeed a bit seductive!"
"Then ruin her face and see what she uses to seduce people!" Lu Xinyun said disapprovingly.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xinwan and the others immediately looked at her, "Fourth sister, then I will leave this matter to you."
"No problem!" Lu Xinyun patted her chest and assured, anyway, she couldn't see that Lu Xinyan was so popular.
At this moment, a servant girl came in, "Ma'am, the old lady is looking for you."
Xiao Gao followed the maid to the Ankang Courtyard, and Gao asked, "I heard that the Third Prince, Princess Chang'an, and Gongsun Gongzi all gave gifts to that cheap girl?"
"Yes, aunt, I don't know where that bitch got into their eyes?" Xiao Gao became angry when she mentioned this matter, her precious daughter is actually no better than a Heli woman who was driven back, she is really angry!
"Ask Mother Che to stop administering the medicine," Gao ordered.
"Why?" Xiao Gao was puzzled, she wished to poison that little bitch to death quickly, so that all the nobles' eyes would focus on her daughter.
Mrs. Gao gave her a sideways glance, "Idiot! The Third Prince, Princess Chang'an, and Gongsun Gongzi all focused on her, and even sent someone to see her! If something happened at this time, who would believe it was an accident? Check it out, all of us in the uncle's house will be in bad luck!"
(End of this chapter)
"A-Ning, why are you getting more and more stupid! That bitch is dead, can you and I say clearly that it was the Guangping Marquis who killed her?" Mrs. Gao glanced angrily at Mrs. Gao, " At that time, I will say that she will feel hurt when she comes back, and she is afraid of being judged, so she can't think about hanging herself for a while! That bitch said that she still has a relationship with Mrs. Gong, huh, if Mrs. Gong really spoils her like before , would you be willing to let her come back and bear the reputation of being abandoned? Therefore, Mrs. Gong must have been dissatisfied with her, and she just talked about it out of affection."
Just now Gao was shocked by Lu Xinyan's move out of Feng's name, she didn't think about it for a while, but after Lu Xinyan left, she thought about it again and felt that Lu Xinyan must be lying!They have already reconciled, and Feng's treatment of her will never be the same as before!
"My aunt is right, it's my niece who was thinking about it for a while." Xiao Gao quickly said: "My niece immediately told Madam Che to arrange this matter."
Gao frowned unhappily, "I asked you to do it, why did you arrange for Madam Che?"
Xiao Gao explained: "The people around my niece are clumsy and timid, and my niece feels that the less people know about this, the better!"
She said so, but she thought in her heart, Aunt, this is murder. If someone finds out, you push me, and then I will kill you, and you will enjoy the power and money all by yourself, so stupid How could I possibly do such a thing?
Gao thought for a while with a sullen face, "Then you should explain clearly to Madam Che, and supervise yourself, so that nothing goes wrong."
Ah Ning, Ah Ning, you are getting more and more calculating now, let my people arrange this matter, and when something happens, you can push it all away!But how could I let you sit back and enjoy the benefits?
Xiao Gao gave a sound in his heart, and said respectfully on his face: "Yes, aunt, niece will do it now."
The two aunts and nephews separated with their own ulterior motives.
-
Huanxiyuan.
Three beautiful girls with somewhat similar appearances were having tea and chatting in a room.
The three of them all have a pair of clear water-like eyes similar to Lu Xinyan's. When the beautiful eyes are looking forward, they have a charming and bright temperament, but Lu Xinyan's brows have a bit of domineering and evil charm, forming a unique lightness. , in comparison, the three of them seemed much vulgar.
The one in the middle is wearing a light crimson skirt with exquisite magnolia embroidered on the neckline, making her complexion like jade, pink and glowing, delicate and unparalleled. The most outstanding of men.
Sitting on the left is Lu Xinhan from Aunt Liu. She is fifteen years old and wears a pink shirt. She looks pretty and gentle, but there is always a calculating light in her eyes.
On the right is the eldest daughter of the second room, Lu Xinyun, who is fourteen years old, wearing a water-colored skirt and a [-]% new concubine-colored beanie.
There are four masters in the mansion. The uncle Lu Congyuan and the third master Lu Congyi are born of the Gao family, the second master Lu Congde and the fourth master Lu Congren are concubines. The son of a concubine even didn't want to look at it. If the old uncle hadn't made a will before his death, if the family was divided, how would the family property be distributed?
Although they all live in the uncle's house now, the treatment of the second and fourth bedrooms is very different, and one can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the clothes the three of them wear.
Originally, Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan were both concubines, and they were a united front against Lu Xinyan since they were young. Later, when Xiao Gao's family was restored, their identities were different. On the surface, their relationship seemed to be good, but secretly it was a little subtle.
Because Lu Xinyun is the second wife, she has been their follower since she was a child, so they follow her lead.
At this moment, she ate the apple in Lu Xinwan's room, and said vaguely: "Didn't that Lu Xinyan be driven back today? This Huanxiyuan was originally her place, and now the second sister lives, so where does she live?"
In order to show the front, the three of them have called each other sister and sister since they were young, and they always call Lu Xinyan by their first names no matter in front of them or behind their backs, and of course Lu Xinyan does the same to the three of them.
"There are so many courtyards in the uncle's mansion, there will always be a place for her to live." Lu Xinhan put down the embroidery needle in her hand, seemingly unintentionally said: "When I came here just now, I heard the talk from the maids in the mansion that the young lady went to Guangping After staying in the Hou Mansion for three years, it seems like a different person when I come back, that appearance..."
She didn't seem to know what to say or not, Lu Xinyun asked impatiently, "How does that look?"
"The maids say they are prettier than the fairies in the sky." Lu Xinhan said, and glanced at Lu Xinwan quietly.
Lu Xinwan drank tea indifferently, she had a graceful posture, and her every move was beautiful, but she thought in her heart, if she was really more beautiful than a fairy in the sky, would Prince Guangping be willing to let her back?Could it be that the son was blind and couldn't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?
Lu Xinyun cut it, took a bite of the apple, chewed it a few times and swallowed it indiscriminately, "I don't believe it, is it more beautiful than the second sister?" It's so delicious, only Dafang has such delicious fruit!
"Well, the maids are spreading it like this..." Lu Xinhan finished in a low voice, and then said: "Maybe the maids are just spreading the word, our second sister's appearance, except for the princess in the palace, who else can compare?"
"Not all the princesses in the palace are comparable to the second sister. For example, Princess Chang'an, I heard that she is dark, ugly and fat... um..."
Lu Xinhan hurriedly covered Lu Xinyun's mouth, "Eat your apple, can we talk about the princess in the palace? If someone listens to it, our uncle's house can't eat it and walk around!"
Lu Xinyun said vaguely: "That's the way it is, and I'm not wrong."
Seeing that Lu Xinwan also glared at her, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Lu Xinwan put down the teacup, and said with a little pride: "Hearing what the third sister said, I really want to see Lu Xinyan."
Lu Xinhan said: "Second sister, how about I send someone to find out which courtyard she lives in?"
Lu Xinwan was about to respond, when she suddenly heard the surprised voice of her eldest maid Fei Cui outside the door, "Miss? Why are you here?"
Then a melodious voice, like bagpipes under the moon, faintly sounded, "This is my yard, who else should I ask for advice?"
"Miss, the second miss lives in this courtyard now," Fei Cui said proudly, "there are still a few empty courtyards in the mansion, such as Lanyue Courtyard and Ruyi Courtyard, these two courtyards are no worse than Huanxi Courtyard. Which yard do you like, I will let the slaves guide you."
"Jade, isn't it?" Lu Xinyan smiled gently, and when Jade thought she had been dismissed by what she just said, she saw the corners of her lips twitch, "Go and tell Lu Xinwan to let her pick a yard to move, within half an hour If it’s not finished, I’ll have someone throw it away.”
Because Fei Cui is Lu Xinwan's eldest maid, she walks around in the mansion quite a lot, even the second and fourth servants of the concubine are respectful to her when they see her. Now, a young lady who has been driven back, dare to be so arrogant?She was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.
"Hey, Lu Xinyan, why are you so domineering?" Lu Xinyun was the first to rush out and put her hands on her hips to argue, "The second sister has lived in this yard for three years, why should I give it to you as soon as you come back? There are so many empty yards, why do you insist on grabbing this yard?"
"Lu Xinyun, this yard was originally my yard, do I agree to let her live there?" Lu Xinyan squinted at Lu Xinyun, who was half a head shorter than her, "It's a thief if you don't ask! I won't be polite to thieves. "
"Why are you not a thief, Lu Xinyan, why do you speak so badly?" Lu Xinyun glanced at Lu Xinyan contemptuously, and found that she was as good-looking as the maids said in private. She felt a little sour in her heart, and couldn't help muttering: "No wonder he was driven back by the Guangping Marquis."
Lu Xinyan smiled coldly, "Why, the master didn't dare to come out and let your vicious dog out to bark?"
In the past, Lu Xinyun often followed Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan to bully her, so Lu Xinyan would not be polite to her.
Being scolded as a dog, Lu Xinyun blushed with anger, and was about to rush over to find Lu Xinyan to reason with, but then Lu Xinhan who came out stretched out her hand and grabbed her, "Fourth sister, don't be impulsive, don't be angry with yourself if some people deliberately pick you up."
Lu Xinwan, who came out last, saw that Lu Xinyan's face was not inferior to hers, and the long-lost jealousy was ignited again.
It is obvious that my father and my mother really love each other, but I have no choice but to marry this lowly girl's mother as the main wife, and let my mother be wronged as a concubine;
Obviously the eldest brother can be named the son of the world, but my father adopted the eldest brother as a foster son because of the scruples of this lowly girl's mother, so it is difficult to be named now;
Obviously, I should have been the concubine lady of Ankangbo Mansion Ming Zhengyan Shun in the morning, but I have been a concubine for 12 years in vain. Even if Aniang corrects herself and becomes a concubine, she is still short compared to those young ladies who are born as concubine half head!
All of this was caused by this bitch in front of me and her bitch!
Now she is Miss Di, she Lu Xinyan is just a divorced woman who was driven back, why is she still domineering in front of her?
Lu Xinwan looked at Lu Xinyan contemptuously, "Lu Xinyan, do you think this uncle's mansion is still the uncle's mansion when your mother was alive? Now this uncle's mansion, my mother is the serious head of the house, Mrs. Uncle! If you are obedient and sensible , Tucking your tails to be a man makes me happy, I can consider making it easier for you, but if not, hmph, I will let you know who is in charge of this uncle's house now!"
Lu Xinyan looked her up and down, smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for three years, but you are much prettier than me."
Lu Xinwan snorted proudly, thinking that you are wise!
"The title of the idiot beauty in Beijing is really well-deserved!"
"Lu Xinyan!" Lu Xinwan blushed angrily. It was the biggest shame in her life to be secretly called an idiot beauty. She is obviously very smart, okay?But those people have never dared to say it behind their backs. Has anyone ever said it in front of her so openly?
She was so angry that she pointed her hands, "What are you? Fei Cui, find someone to drive this bitch out of my yard, no, out of the uncle's house!"
"Yes, miss." Fei Cui yelled loudly, "Come here, drive out these bastards for Second Miss!"
"Yes!" There were no less than ten people from Lu Xinwan in the Huanxi Courtyard, the maids and mothers gathered together, all gearing up.
Lu Xinyan didn't even bother to look, "Qingtong, make a quick decision, Xia Zhixingluo, start throwing everything in the yard out!"
"Yes, miss." Qingtong Xiazhi received the order, and acted bluntly.
The three of Lu Xinwan didn't blink a few times, they saw the dozen or so maids and mothers laying on the ground with broken hands and broken feet, howling.
At the same time, the clothes and jewelry in Lu Xinwan's room were thrown out of the yard one by one.
"Lu Xinyan, you're too deceitful! I'm going to tell my grandmother and daddy to drive you out!" Hearing the sound of the broken porcelain, Lu Xinwan's heart felt like bleeding.
Those are all kept in the treasury, but they are temporarily placed here with her. Now that they are broken, she can either pay for compensation, or slowly deduct them from the monthly silver. Since Lin Ruyue passed away, Lu Xinyan married into the Guangping Houfu Later, her monthly bill was less than every month, and now it is only one tael per month, so how much is left after deducting it?
Lu Xinyan shrugged her shoulders and made a gesture of invitation, "Welcome to sue." Lu Xinwan used to be best at suing. Gao Shi stood by her side, and Lu Congyuan ignored her. Scolding, now, Lu Xinyan wished she could file a complaint, so they just cleaned up together and vented their anger on the mother and daughter of the original owner!
"Miss, I've finished throwing away the things in the house, the things at the door of this house..." Xing Luo secretly looked at Lu Xinwan and the others.
"Throw it away." Lu Xinyan said lightly.
Lu Xinwan and the other three were still angry, they didn't realize that they were about to face a catastrophe.
When they were picked up like cargo and passively moved out of the yard, Lu Xinwan and the others realized that they were about to be thrown, "Lu Xinyan, how dare you treat us like this!?"
"No wonder it is said that the Lu family in Ankangbo Mansion are all beauties, and now they are all in their hands, and they ask me if I dare?" Lu Xinyan shook her head and sneered.
There were several pounding sounds, accompanied by three shouts from Lu Xinwan.
Lu Xinyan didn't bother to pay attention, stretched her waist, "I changed all the things inside."
"Yes!"
After joining Xia Zhixingluo, the efficiency of Huanxi Courtyard is much faster than that of Pomegranate Courtyard, Lu Xinyan is very satisfied.
There are not many things going on in the Taipu Temple today, and Lu Congyuan, the Minister of the Taipu Temple, has something to do in the mansion today, so he let him go early. As for the reason, of course, there is no need to elaborate.
When Lu Congyuan came back, his expression was very bad.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, Lu Xinwan, Lu Xinhan and Lu Xinyun complained in tears.
"Father, Eldest Sister went too far. As soon as I came back, she kicked me out of Huanxiyuan without saying a word, and even had someone beat me up." Lu Xinwan stretched out her skinned hand and cried.
Lu Xinhan wiped away tears, "Father, this time you have to make the decision for the second sister, it is the elder sister who is unreasonable first."
Lu Xinyun said angrily, "Uncle, the eldest sister must be jealous of the beauty of the second and third sisters, and wanted to hurt them. Anyway, she herself doesn't know whether she will be able to get married in the future. She just wants the second and third sisters to ruin her face and leave scars. I can't find a good home."
Xiao Gao originally thought that she would poison her to death later, so let's forget about the complaint, but when the three of Lu Xinwan talked about it, she couldn't help but said: "Master, you really have to talk about your heart, once she comes back, you will Calling my concubine Tall Auntie, and resolutely refusing to call her mother, this is clearly dissatisfied with the decision of you and your aunt! My aunt wanted to betroth her to Ling'er. Not only did she not obey her aunt's words, she even hurt Ling'er, poor Ling'er One arm was broken, and now she is lying unconscious on the bed, if something bad happens, how will I explain to my eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Xiao Gao's voice was crying at the end.
Lu Congyuan was furious, "Come here, bring that rebellious girl here!"
Huanxiyuan had just been tidied up, and when Lu Xinyan was about to take a nap, Madam Lu said that Uncle Ma had sent Housekeeper Ma to see her.
The complaint of the three of Lu Xinwan was really fast, Lu Xinyan stretched her neck, "Speak to Butler Ma, I'll go right away."
Lu Congyuan and Xiao Gao lived in Jinse Courtyard, the courtyard where Lin Ruyue lived was not far from Huanxi Courtyard.
In order to take care of Lu Xinyan conveniently, Lin Ruyue purposely expanded the small courtyard near Jinse Courtyard into Huanxi Courtyard, allowing Lu Xinyan to live in it.
Lu Xinyan walked along with Qingtong, and found that many decorations in Jinse Courtyard had changed.
The most obvious thing is that there used to be a rainwater pavilion built on the lotus pond. The lotus pond is full of pink and white lotus. Every summer, Lin Ruyue will bring Lu Xinyan to enjoy the lotus in the water pavilion, or It is to let the maid row to pick the lotus.
Lin Ruyue regards Lu Xinyan as her own eyeball, and doesn't let her do anything slightly dangerous. This activity of picking lotus pods is the only dangerous activity Lin Ruyue allows. Whenever this time is, the relationship between mother and daughter is the best when.
Now the waterside pavilion is gone, the lotus pond has been filled, and Xiao Gao’s favorite peach tree has been planted, and it has become a peach forest. In the early winter, the branches of the peach tree are bare and desolate.
As she walked further in, Lu Xinyan found that the things that Lin Ruyue liked in the Jinse courtyard were gone, and now they were all replaced by things that Xiao Gao liked, declaring her sovereignty forcefully.
The corner of Lu Xinyan's mouth twitched, and she walked inside, and as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Congyuan glaring at her angrily.
Both men and women in Ankangbo Mansion are born with good looks, and Lu Congyuan is no exception. He is even the best among them. Some, it is reasonable to say that he is 30.
Lu Xinyan didn't know why Lin Ruyue fell in love with Lu Congyuan in the first place. Now that she actually saw the person, she had to suspect that Lin Ruyue's young girl Huaichun was deceived by Lu Congyuan's good looks. After she married in, she realized that she was a shameless and useless scum male.
"Naughty girl! Kneel down!" Lu Congyuan roared.
"Father, I don't know what mistake I made?" Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Her rebellious appearance is tantamount to challenging Lu Congyuan's authority. Lu Congyuan was furious, "Disrespecting my grandmother, disrespecting my aunt, beating my cousins and sisters, I don't have the appearance that a lady should have! Don't give me a hurry!" Kneel down?"
Compared to his anger, Lu Xinyan was completely calm, "Father, if you want to convict, should you listen to my explanation first?"
Lu Congyuan didn't like this daughter who was spoiled by Lin Ruyue in the past, she didn't know how to be polite, she didn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, she was self-willed, and she didn't know how to love her sisters. , he was even more displeased.
If it weren't for the fact that she held Lin Ruyue's huge dowry in her hands, he would never have let her enter this door!Anyway, from a long time ago, he pretended that he had never given birth to this daughter!
But the calm demeanor of the beautiful girl in front of him made him in a trance for a moment. Is this the daughter he hates the most, Lu Xinyan?
Lu Congyuan choked for a moment, suppressed his anger, "Say it!"
"About disrespecting my grandmother, when it comes to marriage, the order of my parents, the words of a matchmaker, although my grandmother is an elder, she is neither a father nor a mother, and my father is still alive. How can she be qualified to make a marriage contract for me directly? It's for nothing There is no reason to make people laugh! Second, my ex-mother-in-law just passed away. If I get married at this time, I will not tell what outsiders think, but what will outsiders think about Ankangbo Mansion? I am afraid they will say that Ankangbo Mansion is ruthless! So for Ankang The reputation of the uncle's mansion, I have already decided in my heart to keep a filial piety for my ex-mother-in-law for half a year! If the two are combined, I will naturally not be able to obey my grandmother's arrangement. What do you think, father?" Lu Xinyan asked rhetorically.
Lu Congyuan thought about it carefully, and felt that what he had discussed with the elder and younger Gao family before, to let Lu Xinyan be Gao Ling's concubine as soon as he came back, seemed a bit hasty.
But having said that, it was all Lu Xinyan's fault, who only sent someone to inform them about the reconciliation yesterday, which made them mess up and made a hasty decision.
He snorted, but made no sound.
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, "Speaking of the marriage contract, let me just talk about the beating of my cousin by the way. Grandma just mentioned the marriage contract, and before I had time to reason with my grandmother, the so-called cousin rushed up and made a move! The daughter of the uncle's family, but returned to Ankangbo Mansion, representing the identity of the daughter of Ankangbo Mansion, a eldest daughter of the uncle's mansion, not to mention an incomprehensible cousin, even a nobleman, can't tolerate wanton contempt! Otherwise, who will respect the Ankang Mansion's daughter when she goes out in the future? For the sake of the Ankang Mansion, I asked someone to teach my so-called cousin a lesson, and severely warned him that the Ankang Manor's daughter is sacred and inviolable. I believe that outsiders will only talk about Zhenlie, the daughter of Ankangbo Mansion, and never say that she has no tutor to beat her cousin! Father, do you think so?" Finally, she asked again.
After saying these words, Lu Congyuan's anger dissipated again. The daughters of Ankangbo's House are all outstanding, and he still counts on some of them to be able to climb high branches and help him to have a smooth career. This reputation cannot be ruined no matter what!
Seeing his expression, Lu Xinyan smiled lightly, and said, "Let's talk about the beating of my sister. This Huanxi Courtyard was originally my yard. It was specially built by my mother for me. Even if I get married, I will always come back to visit relatives." One day, after the eldest daughter of another uncle's mansion married, didn't the yard be reserved for her? There are only two cases if it is not reserved, one is that the married lady has passed away, and the other is that the mansion is struggling, the yard is not enough, and there is no money To expand the mansion, I had to divide the yard of my married daughter. Firstly, I am still alive, and secondly, the economic situation of our uncle’s mansion used to be at the forefront of Beijing Zhongbo’s mansion, and there are still some empty yards in the mansion. Living in my yard, I really don’t know what her intentions are? I am the eldest sister, no matter why she wanted to live in it before, after I come back, shouldn’t she respect the elder sister and return the yard to me? Since Xinwan doesn’t know how to respect the elder sister Sister, there is a problem with tutoring. As the eldest sister, I have the obligation to teach her, so as not to be laughed at by the people in the capital, our tutor in Ankangbo Mansion! Throwing her out is a bit rude, but the intention is good, I believe From now on, Xinwan won't dare to stop respecting elder sister, Xinwan, don't you think so?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Xinwan with a half-smile.
Lu Xinwan gave her a gouged look, then turned to Lu Congyuan to act coquettishly, "Father, my daughter is used to living in that Huanxiyuan, that Huanxiyuan is close to Dad's place, and my daughter wants to be able to see her anytime, Dad, you let my daughter live in it." Is it okay there?"
Originally, Lu Congyuan didn't care who lived where. What he was angry about was that Lu Xinyan caused trouble as soon as he came back. He just heard what Lu Xinyan said was reasonable. Letting go, Lu Xinyan said first: "Father, I have already put all the things in place. I have also asked people to pack up the things of Xinwan and send them to Lanyueyuan where she used to live, and then go back and forth. How troublesome is it?" Isn't it? Besides, Xinwan is not young, and it's time to talk about her in-law's family, so it's not good for Xinwan to get a bad reputation because of this matter."
As long as the reputation of the uncle's house is involved in everything, Lu Congyuan has to think twice, "Okay, Xinwan, you have filial piety to daddy, daddy knows that Lanyue Court is not far from daddy's place, what do you think?" All times come."
With the final word, Lu Xinwan gritted her teeth with hatred. She was not trying to show her filial piety, but Lu Xinyan used to live in Huanxiyuan as a legitimate daughter, and she moved in to show her status as a legitimate daughter!
Seeing that her daughter was deflated, Lu Xinyan repeatedly retracted her confession, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Master, the eldest lady kept calling my concubine Gao Gao and auntie, and even ordered my concubine to only call her eldest lady. If this gets out, people will definitely be laughed at." The rules of our uncle's house!"
Since you use reputation and rules to excuse yourself, then I will use the same method to deal with you!Xiao Gao glanced at Lu Xinyan provocatively.
Lu Congyuan said angrily: "What's the point? Why didn't you call your mother, why didn't you let her call your name?"
Lu Xinyan said: "Father, I have already told Aunt Gao that before Auntie passed away, she told me that I am not allowed to call other people mothers! I cannot go against Auntie's wishes!"
"Ridiculous! You can't teach your daughter well when you're alive, and you'll make trouble when you're dead! Hmph!" Speaking of his dead wife, Lu Congyuan's face didn't show any longing, but deep disgust and contempt.
Lu Xinyan wished she could rush up and slap him twice!In order to prevent Lu Congyuan from uttering more unpleasant words, she said first: "Father, why don't you let me go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Auntie? Mother, if something happens in the middle, it means that A Niang is still unwilling in the spirit of heaven, then there is nothing I can do!"
With Qingtong around, wouldn't it be easy to do some tricks?Lu Xinyan's move was to give the title of Aunt Gao to death.
"You, a woman who was divorced, actually want to enter the ancestral hall to worship?" Lu Xinwan interjected in disbelief.
The Ankangbo Mansion is different from the Guangping Hou Mansion. Because the Guangping Hou Mansion has a small population, except for the aunts in the mansion, the Feng family will bring them in to worship their ancestors on festivals and festivals, so as to appear prosperous!
There are four lords in Ankangbo Mansion, more than a dozen children and grandchildren, and now there are several pregnant aunts, so no one can enter the ancestral hall for the daughters of Ankangbo Mansion, and the daughter-in-law of Ankangbo Mansion can only enter the ancestral hall after death. The fireworks are worshiped by the descendants, and even the Gao family could not enter during his lifetime.
When Lu Xinyan made such an unruly request, Lu Xinwan was secretly delighted. When Lu Congyuan burst into flames at her, Lu Congyuan's expression changed first, and then he became angry from embarrassment: "After three years in Guangping Marquis' Mansion, the rules of Lianbo Mansion Have you forgotten? There is no reason for women to enter the ancestral hall! Regarding the address, you must call..."
"Master! Gongsun Gongzi of Princess Yunyang's family sent someone to give gifts." Steward Ma's surprised voice came from outside, interrupting Lu Congyuan's words.
Lu Congyuan was a little annoyed at first, but when he heard that it was Gongsun Mobai who gave the gift, he was overjoyed, "Come in, please!"
As Gongsun Mobai, he associates with relatives of the emperor and belongs to the highest class in the capital. However, Ankangbo Mansion, even though it is a third-rank Marquis, has displeased the Empress Dowager because of some old events, and even officials of the third and fourth ranks are displeased. They don't have much contact with them, and the only ones they have been with are officials of the fifth and sixth ranks. These officials of the fifth and sixth ranks are all great officials outside the capital, but in the capital, they are low-level.
Gongsun Mobai, that is Lu Congyuan's unattainable object!
Now that he heard that Gongsun Mobai was giving a gift, Lu Congli didn't care who it was for, so he just asked someone to come in.
When Xiao Gao and Lu Xinwan nearby heard this, their hearts were pounding.
Lu Xinhan whispered: "Second sister, do you think the gift from Gongsun Gongzi is for you?"
Lu Xinyun interjected: "I guess it must be. Mr. Gongsun must have heard about the beauty of the second sister and was yearning for it, so he sent someone to give you a gift."
"Daughter, this Gongsun son's status is very great. Compared with those sons and grandsons who have been courteous to you in the past, they are one in the sky and the other in the earth. You must take good care of it!" Xiao Gao said hastily.
Lu Xinwan's face was blushing. Gongsun Mobai is a well-known romantic figure in the capital. Her family background, appearance and ability are all top-notch. She has long been yearning for it, but she only dared to think about it before. She didn't expect her dream to come true now, which made her so excited that she didn't know what to do. it is good!
Steward Ma brought in a young man with an extraordinary bearing. The man saluted neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "The young one is Jingshi, the young man next to Gongsun Gongzi of the eldest princess's mansion. By the order of my son, give..."
"Master!" An earth-shattering shout came from a distance, Lu Congyuan trembled with anger, who doesn't have eyes?Can't you see someone here?There is no place to lose the rules of the Bofu!He held back his anger, and when the boy ran up to him, he scolded, "Why are you yelling? Why are there no rules at all?"
"Old...Master," the boy stammered, ignoring being taught a lesson, "Third...Third Prince and Princess Chang'an have sent gifts!"
"What?" Lu Congyuan was so startled that he almost fell down. In the past, he never had a chance to meet such a high-level person, but as soon as he came today, he came here on his own initiative?
What is a good day today?
Xiao Gao was even more delighted from ear to ear. Gongsun Mobai is precious, and the third prince Wu Sheng is even more precious. If her daughter is chosen to become the third prince's concubine, she might be ordered by the queen to give birth to a prince. It is the emperor!Oh my god, I can't even think about it!The future queen comes from her belly, and the future emperor is her grandson!Just thinking about it makes me faint with happiness!
Seeing the family of the Anbohou Mansion, Jing Shi was stunned except for Lu Xinyan, a slight contempt flashed across the corner of his mouth, and said: "Uncle, since the third prince and Princess Chang'an have sent people, please let them in quickly. It’s not good to be slow.”
Only then did Lu Congyuan come back to his senses, and said excitedly, "Quick, quick, please!"
The members of the Xiao Gao family here also came back to their senses, Lu Xinyun said enviously: "Second sister, you are so lucky, even the third prince sent someone to give you gifts." As for why Princess Chang'an gave it, it must be because I heard that the second sister is good-looking , sent someone over to inquire about the news.
Xiao Gao said excitedly: "Daughter, the third prince is more honorable than Gongsun Gongzi. You should choose the third prince, but Gongsun Gongzi is a relative of the emperor, so you can't offend him. You have to be careful, you know?"
Lu Xinwan was dizzy from the sudden happiness. She had planned to marry a son of a second- and third-rank official's family before, but now the third prince also came here especially for him!This greatly increases her vanity!
"Got it, Auntie, my daughter is not the kind of person who only looks at her status. She chooses whoever treats her well." She said shyly.
Lu Xinhan looked at Lu Xinwan with jealousy in her eyes, but said with a smile on her face: "Second sister is really lucky."
Xiao Gao still wanted to persuade Lu Xinwan again, of course she had to choose the third prince, but seeing how many people came, she had no choice but to suppress her words first.
Steward Ma brought two people, one was a court lady in her thirties, and the other was a teenage eunuch.
The eunuch had delicate features, Lu Xinyan looked familiar, but the maid was an acquaintance.
Qingtong exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister Song Zhao."
When Song Zhao came in, he casually smiled at Lu Xinyan, and saluted Lu Congyuan together with the eunuch.
Even if there is a sweeping eunuch in the palace, Lu Congyuan can't afford to offend, not to mention that one of these two is a court lady next to Wu Zhen, and the other is a personal eunuch next to Wu Sheng. In terms of rank, they are higher than Lu Congyuan.
How could Lu Congyuan dare to accept the gift, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why the two masters are here?"
Song Zhaodao: "I am ordered by Princess Chang'an to give a gift to Miss Your Mansion."
The eunuch Xiao Yugong said: "I am ordered by the third prince to come to give a gift to Miss Your Mansion."
Jingshi is Gongsun Mobai's personal servant, he has been in the palace many times, and Gongsun Mobai has good friends with Wu Sheng and Wu Zhen, so he and Song Zhao and Xiao Yu's father-in-law are old acquaintances, "Sister Song Zhao, Xiao Yu's father-in-law , what a coincidence, I was also ordered by my son to give a gift to the young lady of Ankangbo Mansion."
Now that the three of them made it clear what they wanted to do, Lu Congyuan was overjoyed, and beckoned to Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan, "Xinwan Xinhan, come up to receive the gift."
Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan are the best-looking in Ankangbo Mansion, and they are quite famous in Beijing. Lu Congyuan naturally thinks that the gift from Wu Sheng, Wu Zhen and Gongsun Mobai is for them or one of them.
Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan stepped forward together, "Xinwan (Xinhan)..."
Rao Song Zhao and the others could not help being surprised at this time, even though they had cultivated a calm expression next to Wu Sheng and the others.
After the three of them exchanged glances, Song Zhao, who was the oldest, said, "Uncle, the two ladies, there may be some misunderstanding!"
Lu Congyuan and the others were stunned, "What do you mean?"
Song Zhaodao: "The princess asked me to give the gift to Miss Lu, Lu Xinyan! The princess knew that she was returning home today, so she sent a small gift as a token of her heart, and said that if the eldest lady encounters any difficulties in the future, the princess will do her best to help. After the young lady settles down in the Bo manor, the princess will personally invite the young lady to get together."
What?Lu Congyuan was dumbfounded, Xiao Gao was dumbfounded, Lu Xinwan, Lu Xinhan, and Lu Xinyun were dumbfounded!
Eunuch Xiao Yu said: "The third prince also confessed in the same way. If Miss Lu encounters difficulties, the third prince can take care of her."
Jing Shi said: "Since the eldest lady is surrounded by the third prince and Princess Chang'an, I will go back and tell the young master so that he can rest assured."
Little Gao's family Lu Xinwan was very angry. Why did a divorced woman who was driven back get so many nobles' respect?Four pairs of eyes looked at Lu Xinyan like four poisonous snakes.
Lu Congyuan looked at Lu Xinyan complicatedly.
He also heard about the rumors about Xiao Yichen's grandson Mo Bai Wusheng and Lu Xinyan's acquaintance, but he and his colleagues thought it was just a story spread by women, and no one cared about it. Just laugh it off.
But now it seems that this is clearly true!
If Lu Xinyan is surrounded by the third prince, things will be a little tricky after that!
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly at Song Zhao and the others, "Sister Song Zhao, Eunuch Xiaoyu, Brother Jingshi, please thank Princess Chang'an, the third prince, and Gongsun Gongzi for their kindness. Everything is fine when I come back, but Aniang's last wish cannot be fulfilled." ..."
Song Zhao was about to ask about his last wish, but Lu Congyuan immediately said: "Xinyan, Dad hasn't finished what he said just now. Regarding this address, you will continue to call Aunt Gao, Aning, and Aning will call you Miss, just like before. When your mother was alive, she was exactly the same!"
"Master!" Xiao Gao abruptly put on her aunt's hat again, and looked at Lu Congyuan in disbelief.
Lu Congyuan didn't have time to talk to her at this time, and showed a gentle smile to Lu Xinyan, "Xinyan, what do you think?"
"Thank you father, Auntie will be very relieved to be in the spirit of heaven." Lu Xinyan said.
Lu Congyuan was afraid that she would bring up the matter of going to the ancestral hall to worship again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Xinyan, why don't you take Miss Song Zhao, Eunuch Xiaoyu and Mr. Jingshi to your Huanxiyuan?"
Song Zhao and the others hurriedly declined, "Miss just came back, I won't disturb you any longer, the princess (third prince/son) is still waiting to go back and report, so I leave."
Lu Congyuan sent away Song Zhao and the others with a smile on his face.
Lu Xinyan achieved her goal, she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she also left and went back to Huanxiyuan.
Xiao Gao's family was overwhelmed with anger.
Especially Lu Xinwan, who originally thought everything belonged to her, but who knew it was just a daydream, her face became distorted with anger. When Lu Xinyan was at home, she was suppressed everywhere. The mansion rushed back to the mansion, but she was still suppressed, which made her unable to swallow the breath in her heart!
"Aniang!" Lu Xinwan said with red eyes: "Why did all the good things belong to her before, but now they are still hers? Aniang, I don't care, you help me fight for them!"
Xiao Gao was even angrier. She was already the legitimate Mrs. Ankang, but she was called aunt by a stepdaughter who went home from a divorce. Where did she put her face?
Lu Xinhan's eyes flashed, "Second sister, Lu Xinyan used to be Mrs. Guangping Hou Shizi, and she made a big splash at that Chinese clothing festival, and followed Feng into the palace. I guess those people saw her appearance and thought it was rare in the world. , That's why I showed her such kindness!"
Lu Xinyun snapped, "That's because they haven't met Second Sister! If they had met Second Sister, they would definitely not be like this!"
Lu Xinhan nodded and said: "I agree with the fourth sister's statement, but to be honest, Lu Xinyan's face is indeed a bit seductive!"
"Then ruin her face and see what she uses to seduce people!" Lu Xinyun said disapprovingly.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xinwan and the others immediately looked at her, "Fourth sister, then I will leave this matter to you."
"No problem!" Lu Xinyun patted her chest and assured, anyway, she couldn't see that Lu Xinyan was so popular.
At this moment, a servant girl came in, "Ma'am, the old lady is looking for you."
Xiao Gao followed the maid to the Ankang Courtyard, and Gao asked, "I heard that the Third Prince, Princess Chang'an, and Gongsun Gongzi all gave gifts to that cheap girl?"
"Yes, aunt, I don't know where that bitch got into their eyes?" Xiao Gao became angry when she mentioned this matter, her precious daughter is actually no better than a Heli woman who was driven back, she is really angry!
"Ask Mother Che to stop administering the medicine," Gao ordered.
"Why?" Xiao Gao was puzzled, she wished to poison that little bitch to death quickly, so that all the nobles' eyes would focus on her daughter.
Mrs. Gao gave her a sideways glance, "Idiot! The Third Prince, Princess Chang'an, and Gongsun Gongzi all focused on her, and even sent someone to see her! If something happened at this time, who would believe it was an accident? Check it out, all of us in the uncle's house will be in bad luck!"
