Chapter 46
Lu Mingfeng said: "Grandmother always pays attention to 'never tire of fine food, never tire of fine taste', so she won't be unhappy about it. It's just that grandma is old and has a young population, so I feel that the tea served is bland."

Mrs. Lu said: "Since that's the case, when you go back later, I'll have someone wrap this tea with you for a few taels."

Lu Mingfeng nodded: "Thank you mother. By the way, mother, when you were in grandma's house just now, why did you have to compete with grandma? Anyway, I have a lot of clothes, and I can't wear them in previous years, so I won't do it this year. It makes it all, not to mention that it’s just a little delay to be mine, I see grandma’s appearance, I’m very unhappy..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly: "She is not happy, I am not happy, but it's just two side girls, she is really raised as a granddaughter, I won't hold her down anymore, She's going to lift them up to heaven!"

Lu Mingfeng didn't like what he said, and hurriedly waved his hands to order all the servants in the room to retreat, then Fang whispered to Mrs. Lu, "What are you talking about, but it's just two side girls, even if grandma praises them again , they can only be offshoots, they can't become the official girls of the Duke's Mansion, at most they will only spend a few taels of silver, why do you insist on refuting grandma's answer because of them again and again?"

Mrs. Lu was still angry: "If I don't refute her reply, she will praise those two girls to kill you. I went to ask the empress to give you a special reward for Li Nanny, but in the end Once she intervened, she became the teacher of all the girls, not to mention, she still wanted Li to teach those two girls! It was the same just now, what kind of things are they two? To put it bluntly, the poor relatives who came to play Qiufeng actually wanted to make clothes for the two of them first in order to destroy everyone. Do they have such a big face? Your grandmother is not afraid of breaking their waists, really. I don't know what to think, could it be that you are not her own granddaughter, the two of them are the ones who can't make it, it can be seen that they are old and confused..."

Before the ending of the word '了' fell, Lu Mingfeng interrupted abruptly: "Mother, it's fine to say these words in front of me, in front of others, but you can't reveal a single word, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! "

Seeing Mrs. Lu being embarrassed by what he said, she didn't say anything more, and then she slowed down and said in a low voice: "No matter what grandma thinks, in fact, taking them into the mansion is not all good for our future. Mother, please think carefully, among the girls of our generation, apart from me, the fourth younger sister is undoubtedly the one with the best future, but the eldest princess will not like the emperor, no matter how well the fourth younger sister marries in the future, we can only marry her. Be respectful and stay away; the remaining three younger sisters are said to be the first daughters, but the future may not be as good as the second younger sister. After all, the second younger sister is Daddy's daughter, let alone the fifth younger sister, and they are separated from us by a belly. It’s hard to say that they will face us, and grandma may not be willing to praise them.”

"On the other hand, Sister Fu and Sister Xuan, both of them are not bad at birth, especially Sister Xuan, who is still young, she is already pretty good, and when she is a few years older, it is not sure how she will be born. I mean, we will definitely have a good relationship with them in the future. If we treat them better now, why worry about them not being our helpers in the future? My grandfather and father said that they want to be "pure ministers", but it is just me and me now. The eldest cousin has not yet.... When I go there in the future, I will add a younger one, and then let Sister Fu and Sister Xuan spend more time in front of grandma. In time, I will not worry if my grandfather and father do not change their minds. By then, why worry about your big cousin failing in his career?"

The words made Mrs. Lu feel thoughtful, and then hesitated for a moment and said: "Although that is the case, the two of them are side branches. No matter how well married they are, how can they be so good? I am afraid that not only will they not be able to become us help, but a drag on us.”

Lu Mingfeng said: "It's very unlikely to marry into a wealthy and honorable family as a regular wife, but what about noble concubines or even side concubines? It would be even better if the man had a certain amount of real power in his hands. To be honest, my mother, my ex-son listened to his grandmother. What Sister Shuangxi meant before, I'm afraid that my grandmother brought them two into the house because of the intention of..., so now we treat them better and there is only good and no harm, mother, think about it, is this reasonable?"

Hearing that Shuangxi had thought of going with Nanny Zhu at the beginning, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but believe in this conjecture more and more. Said it?Yin nodded and said: "Forget it, I'll listen to you, and I will not have the same knowledge as them in the future."

She has always been convinced of her daughter, and many things require her to make up her mind as a mother. Now that her daughter says that winning over those two girls will be beneficial to the great career of the prince in the future, it doesn't matter if she praises them a bit, Mrs. Guogong Although it is decent enough, how can it match the unique respect and glory of the empress's mother?

Lu Mingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her mother had agreed to her, and said with a smile: "It's not just my mother who is dissatisfied because my grandmother treats them too well. Mother didn't see the expression on the third younger sister's face just now, and she just wished she couldn't eat it raw. Like them, the more magnanimous your mother is, the more it will appear that they are petty, and the more they will let the two younger sisters understand how good your mother is, right?"

Mrs. Lu remembered that Lu Mingya looked at Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan in the eyes that were like poisoned knives, she nodded and smiled and said, "I don't feel thirsty after talking a lot, my mother will listen to you, let's drink first." Thank you for some tea." After Lu Mingfeng finished his tea, seeing that it was getting late, he asked, "I'm afraid it's time for the old lady to set up a meal. Are you going to eat here or just eat at my place? Let's talk about it first." , if I eat vegetarian food today, it may not be to your liking."

Lu Mingfeng said: "What's the matter if I follow my mother to eat fast?" After speaking, he called his maid to come in and told her to go to Rongtaiju to report to Mrs. Lu, and then whispered to Mrs. Lu about herself .

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu had lunch in Mrs. Lu's house, before returning to the Kongcui Pavilion, the people from the sewing room came to measure the clothes for the two, a total of four people came, and said courteously while measuring: "The winter clothes for the girls in the house are eight sets as usual, plus two big woolen clothes, four underwear, four underwear, six pairs of shoes, and 24 pairs of socks. What patterns and colors are the two girls going to make? After the decision is made earlier, the servants will start to do it for the two girls earlier, and the old lady and the eldest lady like it after seeing it."

Lu Mingfu pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but she didn't want Lu Mingxuan to laugh before her and said: "I'm sorry to bother you sisters-in-law, but our sisters are new here, and I don't know what the girls in the mansion used to do when making clothes. I really can't make up my mind for a while, why don't the sisters-in-law go and measure the girls first, and see what their rules are, and then our staff can make up our minds? It's also not good for everyone to repeat themselves."
