Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 61 Intersection (7)
Don't say that the Duke's mansion will not marry the girl to him - even the old Duke who has treated him the best has never mentioned a word about the marriage contract, which is the best proof, and even he himself is unwilling to wrong others , even a side branch girl is not willing.

But for some reason, Huzi's words, "the young master and I are really a perfect match" seemed to take root, lingering in Ling Mengqi's mind.

He couldn't help but think of Lu Mingxuan's sincere tone and eyes when he spoke to him just now. Since he was not seen by his father and family since he was a child, it has become almost instinctive to observe her words and emotions, so he can naturally feel that her sincerity comes from the heart, not He pretended it; then he thought of the day when he first entered the Duke's Mansion and saw Lu Mingxuan for the first time. At that time, he thought that this girl was the most beautiful among all the girls in the Duke's Mansion, but he didn't expect that she was not only beautiful, She has such a good heart, but it's a pity that she can't think about it herself, at least she doesn't want to think about it like the current self...

Besides, Lu Mingxuan drove back in the carriage. On the way, she intentionally found an excuse to send the two wives who were accompanying the carriage outside to sit on the shaft with the coachman, then lowered her voice and turned to the side. Today, she left the house by herself. So he never explained his behavior to him, only let him follow his Dan Qing every step of the way: "You follow me today, you have read everything you should see and what you should not listen to, and you have listened to everything you should have listened to. Now I just ask you one thing, are you willing to follow me, just follow me?"

Today she deliberately didn't say anything to Danqing, but took her by her side every step of the way, just to see if she could hold her breath. Facts have proved that Danqing is very able to hold her breath, and she has never asked her a word, nor He said half a word "no" to her, but his heart seemed to be full of roughness, and his mouth was extremely tight.

This is exactly the person Lu Mingxuan wanted, so she chose this time to ask Danqing if he would like to follow her, just follow her.

When Lu Mingxuan said these words, she never looked at Danqing, but Danqing clearly felt that she knew what girl was thinking in her heart, and she had nothing to hide in front of her, and she didn't know why she felt this way, but But she thinks this kind of feeling is not bad. It is better to be with a master who is smart and knows what he is doing than with a master who is not doing anything. Especially this master is willing to trust and cultivate himself, and he has the posture of cultivating himself as a confidant... ... She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The servant is willing to follow the girl!"

Although the voice is soft, it carries a solemnity that cannot be ignored.

Lu Mingxuan pursed her lips and smiled.

When they got home, Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu hadn't come back yet. Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, beat up the driver and the two wives who were following the car, and said that the matter involved the son of the Duke's Mansion, and strictly ordered them not to tell anything about what happened today. After going out, he sent them away and went back to his room to rest.

After washing up and laying down on the bed, Lu Mingxuan couldn't fall asleep. She unconsciously thought of Ling Mengqi, and remembered that the latter had such a peerless appearance and should have been loved by thousands of people. Falling into such a situation is like a piece of fine jade falling into the mud, and you don't know when you will be able to struggle out of the mud, so how can you not let people sigh?
Because of others, I can't help but think of my own situation. Now it seems that the road is smooth, but only I know that there is thin ice under the smooth road, and if I am not careful, the thin ice may crack and shatter. She fell into the bone-piercing icy water, like in her previous life, and she will never see the light of day again, so she must become strong enough, so strong that no one can hurt her and dare not hurt her——Lu Mingxuan once again After making up my mind, I slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was almost dark, and Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu had already returned, bringing back a lot of homemade meat and vegetables and snacks, etc. Although they looked not very good , but it tasted of its own flavor, the three father and daughter ate these things for dinner, and they were very happy.

For the next two days, Lu Zhongxian didn't go out again, and stayed at home with his two daughters. Although the father and daughter can talk about clothes, jewelry, and self-talk together, as far as the father and daughter are concerned, as long as Being able to be together quietly is already the greatest happiness and enjoyment.

It's a pity that the happy time always flies too fast, the father and daughter felt that it was only a blink of an eye, and it was already the fifth day of the lunar new year, and Mrs. Lu had agreed in advance that someone would come to pick up Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu back to the Duke's residence.

What should be said was said to Lu Zhongxian with his two daughters last night, and it was the same as what they said before they entered the Duke's mansion. In the end, he took out two purses and told them to keep them as rewards. For servants.

Neither Lu Mingxuan nor Lu Mingfu accepted them, saying that their money was enough, which was indeed the case. They hadn't used up the money Lu Zhongxian gave them last time. Girls also have five taels of silver a month, although it's not too much, but it's enough if you want to tip something to make up a share.

After forcing Lu Zhongxian to put away the money, the two sisters talked about another topic of common concern, that is, when will Lu Zhongxian marry a new wife for them?After Lu Zhongxian promised them that they would definitely invite a matchmaker to visit after the Lantern Festival, the two sisters left the main room with satisfaction, and went back to their rooms to rest.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it was Mama Hu and Mama Xin who came to pick up Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu back to the Duke's Mansion. After loading the cages into the carriage, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu got into the carriage, because the Duke's Mansion will treat guests to New Year's Eve wine tomorrow. , Lu Zhongxian wanted to go to help, so he rode a horse and walked with the two sisters. In this way, the two sisters did not have to say goodbye to Lu Zhongxian.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and then, starting from Mrs. Lu, they went around the elders' houses and gave them small gifts, all of which were prepared by Lu Zhongxian in advance. , Although it is not worth anything, it is a thought after all.

It wasn't until noon that the two sisters had finished seeing each other and returned to Rongtaiju. Mrs. Lu had said earlier that they should come over for lunch.

After lunch, Mrs. Lu was going to sleep as usual. Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu followed Nanny Zhang to take care of her for a while. After Mrs. Lu lay down, she was about to leave. He took out two purses from under the pillow, handed them to the two with a smile on his face, and said, "This is the New Year's money for you sisters and sons. I have already given it to your other sisters for the first day of the Lunar New Year, and only you two are left. Here, now it's finally a thing."

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu held the heavy purse and didn't want to accept it at first, but Mrs. Lu had already said that it was New Year's money, "the elders don't dare to resign", so they could only accept it as a thank you, and then left Rongtaiju.

When I returned to the Kongcui Pavilion and opened it, I found that they were all golden beans the size of lotus seed rice. Roughly estimated, there were at least twenty or so taels, and when converted into silver, it was more than 200 taels. They thought that Mrs. Lu would just give some gold and silver peas as a token, but who knew that she gave so many gold peas, and she was too generous with the new year's money, right?
