Chapter 24 Opportunity
When Lu Mingfu heard about it, a bit of resentment came to her face, and she said: "Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and the old lady is still here, don't they really dare to neglect us openly, are they not afraid that we will tell the old lady? Don't worry, Dad, I won't let anyone bully my sister and me, you can keep the money and save it to buy a few acres of land, why should you let those snobs go for nothing?"

A wry smile flashed across Lu Zhongxian's eyes. The eldest daughter was too naive after all. Most of the servants of the Duke's Mansion are family-born, and they have worked in the Duke's Mansion for generations. It's extremely complicated, even he, the so-called "Master", often has to act according to the faces of the stewards. The maids and women in the inner courtyard dare not neglect their sisters and sons openly, but secretly make troubles. What, it's still very easy; and even if they don't dare to stumble and make trouble, just look at you with strange eyes every day, and whisper a few words when they have nothing to do, it's enough for you, the eldest daughter has never experienced it before. , After personal experience, you will naturally know.

Thoughts flashed by, Lu Zhongxian couldn't help looking at Lu Mingfu with pity, if there was a better way, he really didn't want his daughters to live in the Duke's Mansion, just stay with the family together, it's a pity... ...Forget it, things have come to this point, it's useless to think about these things, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, let's go and see.

However, Lu Mingxuan knew how hard it is to live in the mansion, so before Lu Zhongxian could speak, she persuaded Lu Mingfu first: "Although the old lady is in charge, those people don't dare to treat us slowly if they think about it, but the tip when we first met On weekdays, the sisters gather together such and such, and even the people who serve around them have troubles or something, don't they need money, they can't just ask the old lady for it or point to the Duke's mansion to give it Daddy has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice, how can Daddy understand these truths better than us, sister, put away your purse, just in case, if you don’t need it, naturally it’s best , if it is really urgent, it will not be too tight."

These words are exactly what Lu Zhongxian wanted to say, because he nodded quickly and said: "Your sister is right, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the eventuality, and you will be safe if you are prepared. Put it away quickly, or I will get angry!" Put on a straight face.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfu pursed her lips and put away her purse, humming: "If the purpose of going to the Duke's Mansion is to see the faces of those servants, then it's better not to go!" What the younger sister said is true, she had thought too much about the Duke's Mansion before.

Lu Zhongxian said with a smile: "But after going to the Duke's Mansion, you can learn more and see more of the world, which will be of great benefit in the future, compared to the occasional small grievances and setbacks, what are they? "

He also reminded him carefully, "After you go to the Duke's mansion, remember to listen to the old lady more. Be respectful and respectful to the ladies you meet, and don't be strong with the girls... to have sex with the older sisters around the old lady." It's a good relationship, and when you meet the big maids in each room, the decent mothers should be polite... Don't run around if you have nothing to do, listen to what you should listen to, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to. If you accidentally hear it, remember it If you are rotten in your own stomach, the most you can do is tell each other... Don’t let go of your guard against those who serve you from the beginning, but you can’t show your defenses, otherwise, who will serve you wholeheartedly?”

Lin Lin always said it over and over again, and he could vaguely hear the sound of the third watch drum outside, before ordering the two daughters to go back to their rooms to rest.

After all, I still can't worry about Lu Mingfu. She is no better than Lu Mingxuan. She is protected by the old lady wholeheartedly. If she accidentally gets into trouble and offends someone, even he himself may not be able to keep her... Lu Zhongxian thought about it, In the end, I went to Lu Mingfu's room again.

At that time Lu Mingfu had finished grooming and was about to go to bed, when she heard her father coming, she hurriedly put on some clothes and took it out, bowed her knees and saluted, and said, "Why isn't Daddy still asleep? Me?" I thought my father was going to tell me to take good care of Lu Mingxuan, because I said again: "Don't worry, father, I will definitely take good care of my sister, and don't get angry with her anymore, if she can change, I can naturally change."

However, Lu Zhongxian waved his hand to make Mother Li and Xiaotao retreat, Fang Zheng said to Lu Mingfu, "I didn't want to tell you this, I came to tell you that after entering the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, I remember always Follow your sister, listen to your sister more, although she is younger than you, she is quite organized in her words and actions, and she understands things, the old lady must prefer such a girl..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Mingfu said dissatisfiedly: "I'm an older sister, how can I listen to my younger sister and follow my younger sister's actions? Besides, why does the old lady like her more? It's like saying that I'm in love with her." It's like a mansion, it's obvious that she is in my favor, okay?"

Lu Zhongxian smiled wryly to himself, how did the eldest daughter know that the truth is that she was able to enter the Duke's mansion because of Xuan'er's favor?Yin could only say: "On the surface, it is true, but your sister's mother served the old lady after all, so how can the old lady not treat her differently? Didn't you say that the gift your sister got before was better than yours?" Is it obvious that it's better? I think it's because of this, you can't be wrong if you listen to what daddy says, can daddy still harm you?"

Lu Mingfu couldn't refute the fact that Mrs. Li had indeed served Mrs. Lu, and she was quite fond of Mrs. Lu, so she said sullenly for a moment: "I see, don't worry, Dad, I just listen to my sister, but then What she does is right, if she makes a mistake, I won't make the same mistake with her."

Lu Zhongxian laughed, and lovingly patted his daughter's head: "That's natural, I can't let you make mistakes with your sister, you have to remind her and help her correct her mistakes." After a pause, "In three or two years, when you're all grown up and your marriage is about to happen, Daddy will take you back. He won't let you stay under the fence forever. Daddy can also take advantage of these few years without any worries, earn more money, and pay for the family in advance." You have prepared the dowry, so that you can get married in style!"

That's all for the youngest daughter, with the old lady making decisions for her, he only needs to pay the money at that time, unlike the eldest daughter, who has to worry about everything, otherwise he won't change his mind temporarily and leave Mama Li and Xiaotao behind. If it's down, you can't let the eldest daughter get married in the future, and then buy it now and go out, right?
Lu Mingfu blushed and said angrily, "What did Dad say? Didn't you agree that you should marry a new wife as soon as possible and give birth to a little brother for us? This is the most important thing right now. Don't think that my sister and I have entered the Duke's Mansion, we can't see you every day, and no one is watching you, so you can ignore this matter, if you break your promise, my sister and I will be angry."
