Chapter 35
Seeing it in Lu Mingxuan's eyes, she couldn't help but sneer to herself, even if Mama Wu still knew current affairs, she knew that no matter how embarrassing or incompetent the second bedroom was in the mansion, she was by no means comparable to a slave. Both the mother and the eldest daughter got a lot of shame because of provoking and belittling their sisters. What is she, can she have more face than the second wife of Lu and Lu Mingya?It seemed that at least for the time being, he could save himself the trouble of beating her.

The two sisters chatted for a while, and were about to go back to their rooms when Lu Mingfeng came, followed by a few girls holding everything from various decorations to the four treasures of the study, and two girls holding a stack of books in their hands.

As soon as Lu Mingfeng came in, he smiled and said: "Thinking that the two younger sisters are newcomers, I'm afraid that many things are not complete, so I sent some here, and I hope the two younger sisters don't dislike simplicity."

Lu Mingfu hurriedly said: "It's hard for big sister to bother thinking about our sisters. It's too late for our sisters to be grateful, so how can they despise simplicity?"

Lu Mingxuan also said: "These things are exactly what we need right now. Eldest sister can take care of people's needs. If we sisters still despise frivolity, it would be too ignorant."

The two sisters invited Lu Mingfeng to sit down again and ordered someone to pour tea. They were really grateful to the latter for taking the initiative to express his kindness. Regardless of whether she was sincere or not, at least she had this attitude, which was already a good start. .

Although Lu Mingxuan had no way of knowing what happened in the second room in the afternoon, she couldn't hide it from Mrs. Lu, who had presided over Duke Ding's residence for decades, and only recently delegated power to Mrs. Lu. At that time, Mrs. Lu was with Mrs. Zhang. Mammy said, "...I think I am so honorable, so I just bully girl Xin every day. Anyway, I am the kind of bitch of the Guo family, so what does it have to do with me? How dare I bully my granddaughters and my daughters?" The person I want to promote comes up, one mouthful is a 'wild girl', and the other is a 'young girl', who is she scolding, don't you know that her father is the first child raised by a young woman in the house?"

As he spoke, he sneered: "The old ones are too cowardly, not to mention they can't handle men, they can't even hold back the concubine Ji in their own house, and the young ones are too strong, and they don't always forget Putting on the air of the princess of the Duke's Mansion, she didn't even look in the mirror to see what kind of lady she was? It was nothing to make others laugh out loud! By the way, did you tell Lu Fu about this? It's better to ask the old man to take a look at it. When he desperately promoted Guo and the second child, what did he promote? Without asking me a word, he made a marriage for the second child and married someone else. Such a good daughter-in-law came in! Bah, he didn't even think about it. If I really want to crush Guo Shi and the second child to death, it will only take a little more effort than crushing two ants, but I think it's dirty to deal with them. After all, As far as their virtues are concerned, I don’t need to take action at all, they have already made a mess of their lives, I, it’s enough to just watch the show from the sidelines!”

Back then, when the old Duke doted on Aunt Guo, although he didn't dote on his concubine and kill his wife, it made Mrs. Lu angry and wronged a lot. Even Lu Zhongjing's marriage was decided by himself. I have never asked Mrs. Lu, the aunt, a word, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Lu couldn't help getting angry when she mentioned this matter.

Nanny Zhang has been with Mrs. Lu for decades, and as the latter's number one confidant, with a heart, liver, spleen and lungs, she naturally understands Mrs. Lu's mood at the moment, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "That's why the saying goes 'Long Sheng' The dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make a hole'. With Guo's virtue, what kind of good son can he produce? Later, seeing the second master's incompetence, didn't he gradually fade away, and valued our elder master and uncle more and more? You, don't think about those unhappy things, today it's you and Miss Xuan's grandfather and grandson Seeing you on such a beautiful day, why spoil your mood for that irrelevant person?"

Mrs. Lu's expression softened a little when she heard the words, she nodded and said, "You're right, today is a great day for us to meet our grandparents and grandchildren, and it's not for nothing that I was spoiled by that irrelevant person. Xuan The girl is a good girl. I originally thought that Zhihua would leave early, and Zhongxian was too busy with his livelihood to take care of their sisters. I was afraid that he would be so petty, so I thought about taking her into the mansion. Come, stay with me for a few years, and you will be able to talk about marriage in the future. I don't want her to advance and retreat at a young age, and she knows the rules and etiquette. Although she is not as good as the girls in our mansion, she is not far behind. Go, it can be seen that Zhongxian has done his best these years!"

Nanny Zhang said with a smile: "It's more than that, Miss Xuan also has a way of beating servants." Then she briefly talked about what happened when she was changing clothes and dressing in Kongcui Pavilion before, "It can be seen that she was born to be a young lady in the Duke's Mansion." , that dignity and arrogance are innate, otherwise the two sisters have received the same upbringing, and Miss Fu will be two years older, why is she not as good as Miss Xuan?"

Mrs. Lu's eyes were tinged with a little smile: "Forget it, after all, I still have to lack some points, and I still need to be well-educated."

He also ordered Madam Zhang, "I remember how many horses of Qisiluo weaving from Jiangning are in my treasury? Remember to get someone to find them tomorrow, and send one to Miss Xuan to make clothes, um, to Girl Fu Give away one too, and in the future, whatever Miss Xuan has, I will also prepare a copy for Girl Fu, so that I can show my kindness to Miss Xuan over the years, and secondly, it will prevent others from being suspicious."

"But..." Nanny Zhang showed embarrassment, with a look of hesitation, "But the seven silks are priceless, and you only got five horses in your treasury, and they were only given to the eldest girl that day." He and the four girls only have one each, and none of the other three girls, but now they are given to Miss Xuan and Miss Fu, which is enough to make people suspicious. What about a side girl? Please think twice, old madam."

As she said that, seeing Mrs. Lu frowned, she said again: "Since the words have come to this point, then this servant will simply express some of her thoughts. You treated Miss Xuan and Miss Fu too kindly, They lived alone in the yard, picked out the people, and arranged the houses in person, and defended them in every possible way in words and deeds. Although we kept things secret back then, there is no guarantee that no one will know some clues. Together with you Looking at the attitudes of Miss Xuan and Miss Fu, if any gossip spreads, it will be a disaster. Although the princess is good-natured, she is not what she used to be. Just wait for Miss Xuan to marry far away in a few years, and there will be no more troubles, so why should we make troubles again?"

Only Nanny Zhang dared to say these words to Mrs. Lu, and she would definitely not have the courage to change the second person.

Mrs. Lu's brows frowned even tighter, "Then what should I do? Our family already owes a lot to Miss Xuan, and Zhihua's death back then... has nothing to do with me. What's the matter with being better for Miss Xuan? I used to bear what I should and shouldn't do when I was a grandson-in-law and daughter-in-law. Isn't it all in vain? Yes, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, but she is also the daughter-in-law of my Lu family. After so many years, the third child has no one in the house. I can't tolerate Sanyi's momentary confusion, so don't blame me for going into the palace to talk to the empress!"
