Chapter 27 The Golden Lock
Then he pointed to everyone in the room and introduced them one by one to Lu Mingxuan, "Your aunt and second aunt have met before, this is your sister-in-law, I didn't want to disturb her today, but she heard There are two beautiful new younger sisters, so I have to come to join in the fun. This is your eldest sister, Sister Feng, who lives in the Xiexiu Pavilion next to the Kongcui Pavilion where you will live in the future. You will not need anything in the future. If it is convenient to talk to your aunt, just talk to her, and if you feel bored on weekdays, you can also talk to her."

Lu Mingfeng interjected with a smile: "You two sisters must not be polite to me."

Mrs. Lu pointed to Lu Mingli and the others and introduced them to the two of them: "This is your second sister, Li, this is your third sister, Ya, and this is your fourth sister... I remember that Fu girl seems to be a month older than Zhu Er." That fu girl should be the older sister, and Zhu Er is the younger sister... This is Wu Yatou, sister Xin, you guys can talk about it separately, this 'sister sister' makes my head hurt. "

Lu Mingli is elegant, Lu Mingya is bright, and Lu Mingxin is gentle. They are all dressed up like soft jade, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone greeted each other, and after discussing the preface, those who should be called elder sisters should be called elder sisters, and those who should be called younger sisters should be called younger sisters. Only Lu Mingzhu did not greet Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan. After the ceremony, he honored her as the "County Lord".

Mrs. Lu waited for everyone to see the ceremony, then she smiled and said to Mrs. Lu: "I'm afraid that mother is not having a headache, but thinking about it and broke her fortune. Is it heartache? But I'm too embarrassed to say it, say no. I had to pretend it was a headache."

Mrs. Lu pretended to be angry and said: "It's you who I'm used to, even I dare to make fun of it, and I will punish you not to eat crabs later, but to watch us eat!"

Mrs. Lu then complained "Ouch, Ouch", "I won't dare again in the future, I beg my mother to give me some ideas to eat that calf navel?"

"Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll give you a few treats later!" Mrs. Lu couldn't hold her face any longer, and laughed.

The whole room laughed together, seeing that it was still early, Mrs. Lu ordered everyone to disperse, so that they would not be too late for dinner later, so that Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan could go to them first. Take a look at the house, tidy up the boxes and cages, meet the servants arranged, and then wash and change clothes.

So everyone bowed to Mrs. Lu and retreated one by one.

After everyone left, Mrs. Lu didn't hurry to let people take Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu to Kongcui Pavilion to settle down. Instead, she ordered another maid, Shuang Fu, to fetch two black lacquer and gold mother-of-pearl boxes. After opening it, one person handed one to Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu, and said with a smile: "Every girl in Jinsuo Mansion here has one, and now that you have lived here, I like you again, and treat you as my own grandchildren Like daughters, of course not everyone has them, but you don’t have them, I’ve wronged you for nothing, so put them away and wear them when you come over to eat later, so that I can see them and like them.”

Each of the two boxes contained an eight-treasure necklace long-life lock, and only the lock piece hanging below was made of suet white jade and the other was made of Laokeng jadeite. It was very valuable at first glance.

Lu Mingfu looked at the old emerald that she got, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The old lady was too kind to their sisters. The Duke's Mansion has now given them such a precious golden lock, and the preciousness is still secondary. The key is the symbolic meaning of the golden lock. The old lady said it herself. This is only available to the official girls of the Duke's Mansion. , but now there are even the two girls from their side branches who came to live here, what do the real girls in the Duke's Mansion think?What do you think of the Duke's mansion?What do the other offshoots think?
Although the old lady is noble, powerful and has everything she needs, she would not have plans for the sisters, but she is so kind to the sisters... One cannot help but suspect that the old lady has ulterior motives!

Lu Mingxuan just glanced at Lu Mingfu's expression, and she could roughly guess what she was thinking in her heart. In fact, when she first entered the Duke's Mansion in her previous life and received the same golden lock from the old lady, she had Had the same thought as Lu Mingfu, after all, there is never a good thing without a reason in this world, so when she met the old lady, she was always a little trembling, afraid that the old lady would force her to do something she didn't want to do, It was only after she learned the truth from Lu Mingzhu before she died that she knew why the old lady treated her like that.

Unexpectedly, after reliving the first life, the golden lock from the previous life returned to her in the same way. Is this a divine will?Although she doesn't want this golden lock, it will only remind her how embarrassing and shameful her identity is, but if this golden lock can bring benefits to Lu Mingfu, for example, let those snobbish eyes of the Duke's Mansion The son's servants dare not take Lu Mingfu lightly, she is still very willing to accept the golden lock.

So this time, it was Lu Mingxuan's turn to remind Lu Mingfu who was in a daze: "Could it be that my sister got such a good thing and was so happy that she couldn't be fooled, why don't you thank the old lady quickly?" As a gift, she said with a sweet smile: "Ming Xuan would like to thank the old lady for the reward. Mingxuan will definitely wear this golden lock from time to time, to live up to the old lady's love!"

When Lu Mingfu heard the words, Fang came back to his senses, quickly followed suit and saluted, and said with a smile: "Mingfu also thank the old lady for the reward."

Mrs. Lu nodded, and called "Nurse Zhang", "You can send the two maids to the Kongcui Pavilion to settle down. I don't feel relieved if others go. Remember to help the two maids beat the maids there." Ladies, lest their soft-faced and soft-hearted be fooled and despised by that screwdriver."

There was an old lady who was about fifty years old, with gray hair combed into a round bun, wearing only a plain silver hairpin, and an old woman in blue bijia who stepped forward in response, knelt down and blessed Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu, smiling Said: "Also invite the two girls to come with the slaves."

Lu Mingxuan heard the maids and women serving in the room gasp slightly or heavily, and then looked at her and Lu Mingfu with more respect and solemnity.

Lu Mingxuan knew why those maids gasped in surprise. In fact, she was quite surprised too, because although Nanny Zhang looked inconspicuous, she was a personal girl brought by Mrs. Lu from her natal family. After serving Mrs. Lu for more than 40 years, she did not marry when she reached her age, but became the steward of Mrs. Lu's house by herself; and Mrs. Lu's children can be said to be this Madam Zhang Looking at her growing up, she was hugged and coaxed by her when she was a child, so this nanny has a bit of face not only in front of the current second and third generation masters, even in front of the old Duke.
