Chapter 38 Blessing
Nanny Zhang agreed with a smile.

Not long after, Mrs. Lu came with Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingli, seeing that Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan had arrived early, she said with a smile: "The two girls are early." Then politely asked the two: "Last night Did you sleep well? Are you used to living in the house? If there is anything missing, just tell me, or you can tell your big sisters."

The two hurriedly bowed their knees to greet Mrs. Lu, and replied with an apologetic smile: "The house is very used to living, but there are one or two things missing. Last night, the eldest sister sent them there in person, and now there is no shortage of sex. , Thank you Madam for your concern."

When Mrs. Lu heard the words, she laughed, and patted Lu Mingfeng's hand in relief: "Those people who don't talk can only see that I prefer Feng girl, but they can't see that we Feng girl is good, so sensible Good and considerate child, if I don't love her, who should I love?"

Although Lu Mingfeng was praised, she only blushed a little, and still had a generous look, "My child loves me, of course my grandmother thinks I'm good, but in fact, I just did my best, and I can't be like a grandmother." Praise me like that."

Just as he was talking, a little maid came in and said, "Go back to the old lady, the second lady is here!"

Hearing that the Second Madam Lu had come, a cold light flashed in the old Madam Lu's eyes, and then she smiled lightly and told the little maid: "Please come in, Second Madam and Fifth Miss!"

"Yes, old madam." The little servant girl went away in response, and soon saw Second Madam Lu leading Lu Mingxin in.

Mrs. Lu was dressed in a crimson purple cross collar embroidered with lotus with long sleeves, combed a peony bun, and wore a gold phoenix hairpin with lace on the top of the tip. Those who knew saw her, and thought she was going out to a banquet instead of staying at her own home, and this trip was just to give her mother-in-law a rest.

But even though she was dressed so gorgeously, the bloodshot eyes and haggard look on the face of Mrs. Lu's second wife still couldn't be concealed. It was obvious that she didn't sleep very well last night, and she even didn't sleep well. Possibly a sleepless night.

"Greetings to mother!" Second Madam Lu smiled apologetically and bowed her knees to salute Mrs. Lu, her voice slightly hoarse.

Lu Mingxin, who was dressed in a light blue skirt, followed behind with a low eyebrow, almost making her presence invisible. Thinking about it, the second wife Lu and Lu Mingya, who are her aunt and sister, are obviously not affected by it now. Mrs. Lu, the person with the highest status in the inner court of Duke Dingguo's mansion, is waiting to be seen, let alone a concubine who is a concubine?

Mrs. Lu intentionally left Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingxin for a while before she said in a low voice: "Get up. By the way, why didn't the third girl disappear? Could it be that the county head said something to her in vain yesterday, she couldn't bear it, so I don’t even come here today? The county lord’s words yesterday were a bit serious. The third girl has always been pampered. There is no point in targeting, the third girl is indeed lacking in the rules, and what is the identity of the county owner, she is only talking about her for her own good, and if someone else is replaced, it will be up to her to see if the county owner is right. Come? Fortunately, the county lord is not here at the moment, otherwise I don't know what will happen!"

Everyone in the room heard that Mrs. Lu intended to call Lu Mingzhu the "County Lord" instead of the usual "fourth girl" intimately, so they knew that she was rubbing Mrs. Lu on purpose, and they all looked down. He bowed his head, lest Mrs. Lu's embarrassment would become more embarrassing.

But even so, Mrs. Lu was still ashamed to death, the smile on her face was almost unbearable, and she forced a smile to apologize for a moment: "Going back to mother, it is Ya'er's blessing to be taught by the county magistrate. How can I be so petty? It is because she accidentally caught the wind and cold last night, burned all night, and can't get out of bed today, that's why she didn't come to greet her mother. When her daughter-in-law left, she was still in a coma That said, if mother doesn't believe it, she can ask Miss Wu, and she will know whether her daughter-in-law's words are true or not, and ask mother to learn from her!"

Lu Mingxin heard her aunt mention her, and she didn't want people to notice her existence, so she could only speak, "Back to grandma, what mother said is true, and third sister is indeed ill, please ask grandma for enlightenment."

Everyone was fine yesterday, but today one is too sick to get out of bed?Mrs. Lu naturally doesn't believe this, but Mrs. Lu's words have reached this point, she can't be aggressive anymore, otherwise if it spreads, others will say that she is cold and harsh, and doesn't care about her granddaughter's life or death Now, because he hurriedly put on an anxious and worried face, he said: "Ya girl is sick? Did you call the doctor? What did the doctor say, is it serious or not? You are too, Ya girl is sick, you as a mother should Just keep guarding her every step of the way, what are you doing here, just ask a girl to come over and say it, and go back quickly, I will let people see her later, if the situation is not good, remember to make people see her Tell your sister-in-law to invite the imperial physician, and if you want any medicinal materials and supplements, just ask someone to go to your sister-in-law to get them."

The Second Madam Lu was a little embarrassed by Madam Lu's attitude of suppressing and then raising, and she smiled apologetically and replied to Madam Lu's words one by one, "...At that time, the two doors were locked, so I didn't invite the doctor, but only gave Ya'er the key. After taking the pills, she wiped her body with medicinal wine, thinking that the effect would not be seen after dawn, so I would send someone back to my sister-in-law to ask the doctor not too late, but I didn't expect the fever to gradually subside at five o'clock, and I slept soundly , I think it should be all right, mother just rest assured."

Only then did Mrs. Lu breathe a sigh of relief, "That's fine. As long as the fever subsides and the person sleeps soundly, she should recover soon. Otherwise, it will be Chinese New Year while I'm talking. If she doesn't recover by then, It could be said that we can only move her out of the mansion, so as not to overwhelm others with illness."

Now there are still three full months before the new year, but Mrs. Lu said, "It's time to celebrate the New Year while I'm talking", and she also said that Lu Mingya would be moved out of the house. How could Second Mrs. Lu fail to hear the warning in Mrs. Lu's words? ?Her heart shrank suddenly, and she forced a smile and said: "She is a little girl, and her illness comes and goes quickly. If she thinks it will be at most three or two days, she can come to say hello to her mother. Please don't worry, otherwise Her guilt is getting worse."

Mrs. Lu nodded, and stopped talking to Mrs. Lu, but looked at Nanny Zhang: "Didn't I ask you to pick a few pieces of satin yesterday to make clothes for Fu girl Xuan? Are you ready? If you choose Well, taking advantage of the crowds at the moment, let’s give it to them in front of the big guys, so that no one will trouble them afterwards to pick their reasons and question where they got the satin from.” After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Lu intentionally or unintentionally, the implication was obvious.

Mrs. Lu became more and more embarrassed, and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say, so she lowered her head.

Mrs. Lu saw that everyone was silent, so she had to pretend that she couldn't hear what Mrs. Lu was saying, and smiled bravely: "What's the mother talking about? Naturally, if Miss Fu and Miss Xuan have any good things, they will be rewarded by the mother, don't they?" Who would dare to trouble them and pick their reasons? If the daughter-in-law finds out, the first one will not be able to spare her!"
