Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 41
Nanny Zhang naturally knew why Mrs. Lu's anger came from. In her opinion, Mrs. Lu's previous attitude was indeed a bit bad, but it was justifiable, so she softened her voice and persuaded Mrs. Lu: "You I feel sorry for Miss Xuan, I know it, but the eldest lady doesn't know, in the eyes of the eldest lady, Miss Xuan is just a girl from the Pangzhi family, how can she let the empress's mother teach the rules and etiquette? This is also human nature , don't be angry, or you will really annoy the eldest lady. The eldest lady dare not say anything in front of you, but she can't speak well in front of Miss Xuan. Sister Kuang Duan and Sister Sang also spent a lot of money to invite them here Yes, although it's not as good as Nanny Li, it's not too far behind, and it doesn't count as insulting Miss Xuan and Miss Fu."

After a pause, he intentionally changed the topic, "The third girl's illness is quite strange. I don't know if it's true or not? How about I send someone to take a look?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu's anger suddenly shifted, and she sneered: "The fourth girl just said a few words to her in vain yesterday, but she pretended to be sick for me today. Who is she acting for?" What? Since she loves to act, how can I not accompany you, so you go to the second room yourself, so that you can 'visit' the third girl, and say what I say, 'If the third girl is really bad, you should move out as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’s okay for the elders to pass on the sickness, and it’s fine for the sisters. If it’s passed on to the elders, wouldn’t it be a big disobedience?'”

Everyone, including Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu, thought that Lu Mingya was pretending to be sick, but the fact is that she was slapped by Lu Zhongjing last night, half of her face was swollen, and she was treated with cold compresses and medicine. , and rested all night, the finger marks on her face are still clearly visible this morning, not to mention that she was humiliated by Lu Mingzhu yesterday, and she was so panicked that she didn't want to go out to meet people. With a ready-made excuse, he simply pretended to be sick.

"Oh?" In Rongtai residence, Mrs. Lu was talking to Nanny Zhang with great interest: "The second child really slapped the third girl last night? Didn't he always love this daughter the most? Are you even reluctant to say a word, why do you still move your hands?"

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "I know you don't believe your ears. When I first found out, I didn't believe my ears either, but the second master did indeed slap the third girl last night. I heard that the slap was not bad. It was very heavy, half of the third girl's face was swollen immediately, blood overflowed from the corner of her lips, the second lady fainted immediately, and the second room didn't calm down until the middle of the night... You know the temper of the third girl, she has always been treated by the Duke's mansion. My first daughter-in-law claimed to be a self-confessed daughter, who knew that yesterday she was given a big shame by the county lord, and she was going to pretend to be sick in all likelihood because of this, but she was slapped by the second master again. If you have the face to come out to meet people, don't you have to hide in your own room?"

After hearing the words, Mrs. Lu believed in the fact that Lu Zhongjing beat Lu Mingya, because she asked again: "Do you know why the second child beat the third girl? The third girl provoked him during the day, but since he didn't Do it, naturally there is no reason to do it after the fact."

Nanny Zhang said: "I heard that the second master drank a few cups of wine outside, and he was already a little drunk. After he came back, he learned from the newly beloved Tongfang that the second wife and the third girl had given a gift to Miss Xuan. Miss Hefu was ashamed, but she offended the county magistrate. She was so angry that she even went to the second lady's room and had a big fight with the second lady, which inevitably alarmed the third lady. I know it, so why not protect the second wife? So he also quarreled with the second master, which made the second master even more angry. In a moment of desperation, he slapped the third girl and ordered the third girl to come out today. One came here early in the morning to apologize to the county lord Bingxuan and Miss Fu."

Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment, before she said: "The second child is a man of current affairs. If he can always be so aware of current affairs, I don't mind giving him a bowl of An Sheng meal after a hundred years from now. It's a pity that he can't even teach his daughter well, so if I give him a bowl of safe food in the future, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it!"

He asked again, "Has the matter of yesterday reached the ears of the old man? Let's pass it on too. Isn't the old man always concerned about this son the most? It's good to know about this son."

Nanny Zhang was not easy to answer, so she just answered "Yes", and then asked: "Then do you want to send the third girl out of the house?"

Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment: "Forget it, because the second child is still knowledgeable about current affairs, let me forgive her this time first, if there is another time, hum!"

The next day, after Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu went to greet Mrs. Lu, they were served by Banxiang and Luoxia, and went to the school of the Duke's Mansion together with Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingli who also came to greet Mrs. Lu.

The school for the girls of the Duke’s Mansion is located in Qinfangzhai in the garden. It is a small and exquisite two-entry courtyard, planted with vines of various colors, and there are stone tables and stone piers under it. Once you enter, you will feel an elegant and simple atmosphere. come.

The first entrance yard of Qinfangzhai is set up as a study room and chess room, and the second entrance yard is set up as a piano room, painting room and embroidery room.

The study room is a distant relative of the Duke's mansion, named Lan Suxin, who was talented and famous when he was a child, but his luck was unlucky, he was a widow, and because his brother forced him to remarry, he came to the country. In the Duke's Mansion, it was not easy for Mrs. Lu to pity her, and because she saw how talented she was, she was appointed as the husband of the girls in the Duke's Mansion to teach them how to read and write.

A total of seven or eight long desks were set up in the study. Lu Mingfeng arranged for Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu to sit by the window. The window was facing a green radish. Get comfortable with it.

The sisters waited for a short while, and saw a woman in her twenties, wearing a moon-white embroidered orchid skirt and an ivory thread-stitched skirt, walked in. There is an aura of poetry and calligraphy, and there is a bit of arrogance in the eyebrows and eyes, which is obviously Lan Suxin.

For Mr. Lan Suxin, Lu Mingxuan has always been more in awe than respect in her previous life, because she has always been regarded as nothing by Lan Suxin and even looked down upon her. That's why the official girl of the mansion received such treatment, and for this reason, she once had resentment towards Lan Suxin in her heart. Now that she has come back to her life, she can understand that Lan Suxin looks down on her not because she is a side branch, but because of her book Is there anything more unbearable than to make a talented woman feel that her students are not taught?

In this life, she will never let such a thing happen again, she must study hard, even if she can't get Yan Ruyu, Qian Zhongsu and the Golden House from the book like men do, at least she must make herself smart enough, Strong enough to take your own destiny into your own hands!
