Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 8 Improvement
Only then did Lu Mingxuan nodded in satisfaction. In her previous life, at least half of the disputes between her and Lu Mingfu were caused by the people around each other. Although looking back now, those disputes were too ridiculous to be worth mentioning, but she was not reborn like her. Lu Mingfu, who is only 11 years old now, may not be as detached as she is now. It is very important to restrain her people in advance. Isn't there a saying that "a slap can't make a sound", as long as she The people from the other side no longer want to be strong on the people from Lu Mingfu, and as time goes by, the relationship between the two parties will naturally ease.

"And you too, mom," Lu Mingxuan turned to Ms. Huang, "in the future, we must never try to force Mama Li any more. My sister is older than me, so her nanny mother should also call her 'sister'...my sister and I I can get along with each other for a few more years. I don’t know where each of us will end up in the future. Now that we get along day by day, what’s the point of wasting time on trivial matters? No harm in vain How can I know the day when I don't expect my sister to stand up for me? Even if my father sees him, he can only be happy. Xiaoli is still young, but my mother eats more salt than me There is still a lot of rice, and he is someone who has been with my mother. After seeing it, I think I will not understand this truth. I hope my mother will help me restrain Xiaoli more in the future."

A small family like the Lu family is naturally far inferior to the stately mansion in terms of rules and etiquette. In her previous life, Lu Mingxuan did not bring Mama Huang and Xiaoli into the mansion. For this reason, she was lucky more than once after living in the mansion. I didn't bring them in, otherwise I wouldn't know how to hold me back because of their pettiness.

And in this life, she doesn't intend to enter the Duke's mansion, and she feels that it is not a bad thing to be served by Huang Mama and Xiaoli for a long time. Naturally, the rules should be established early, and this move may not show anything in a short time. However, in the long run, it will only benefit Huang Mama and Xiaoli without any harm.

The girl clearly said that she was asking herself to help restrain Xiaoli, but in fact, she was beating herself?Huang's mother blushed a little at what Lu Mingxuan said, and remembering that Lu Mingxuan said just now that she 'ate more salt than I eat rice', she couldn't help but blush even more.

She was someone who had been with Li Shi back then, and Li Shi was able to occupy the position of the first-class maidservant next to the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, so she naturally had her own merits, and the wives and grandmas of almost middle-class families couldn't match Li Shi's vision. She has been serving her for several years, and she has also learned to have high eyebrows and low eyes, which is why Lu Mingxuan said that she is someone who has "experienced things", but she doesn't want to be with Lu Mingfu's nanny every day for trivial matters. Fighting like chickens and dogs, people in their thirties, their vision is not as far-sighted as a nine-year-old half-old child, he is really ashamed of his wife's dying entrustment!
Meeting Lu Mingxuan's crystal-clear eyes, Huang's mother blushed and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, I know what to do in the future!"

The next day, after Lu Mingxuan had breakfast, she went to Lu Mingfu's room again. Before she left yesterday, she said that she would come to talk to Lu Mingfu again today, so Lu Mingfu did not respond to her arrival. No more surprises.

After the two sisters exchanged a few words, the mother-in-law came back and forth: "People from Buzhuang and Yinlou came to measure and choose jewelry for the two girls."

When the two heard about it, they were surrounded and went to the flower hall of the main house.

Seeing that the women in charge of Buzhuang and Yinlou are all there, as soon as they see the two coming in, they come forward to salute with smiles on their faces: "I haven't seen the two girls for a while, and the two girls are always in good shape?" "I haven't seen the two girls in just a few days, and the two girls are getting more and more provocative."

Lu Mingfu is the older sister, and she smiled and exchanged a few words with the two managers, and then the people in the cloth shop took the measurements for her and Lu Mingxuan - the fabric was picked out yesterday, and now it just needs to be measured Size, you can start making clothes.

After the people from the cloth shop left first, the head of the Yinlou came out to pick out jewelry for the two, "...this hairpin is a new style that came from Jiangnan a few days ago. It looks big, but it is actually very light. It’s not more cumbersome than other hairpins, and it hurts my scalp when I pull it, if the two girls choose one, it’s guaranteed to be a big hit on the old man’s birthday.”

The cloth shop and the silver house of this person are patronized by the Lu family all the year round, and they know the situation of the Lu family quite well, so the manager of the silver house will say this.

I heard that it was a new style from the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Mingfu and the maids and women in the room all noticed it. After all, there is no woman, no matter how old or young, beautiful or ugly, who does not love beautiful clothes and jewelry. The hairpin is made of red gold. The head of the hairpin is made in the shape of a butterfly, the size of a palm, and the four wings on both sides are made of gold wire as thin as a hair, especially the tentacles, which are trembling and lifelike. The two wings of the butterfly One eye is inlaid with a ruby ​​the size of a lotus seed, which is really ingenious.

Lu Mingfu asked the person in charge, "I'm afraid this hairpin is not cheap?" After talking, she didn't take her eyes off the hairpin for a moment, obviously she liked it very much.

A flash of complacency flashed in the manager's eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's not cheap, not to mention the materials, just the wages cost more than 20 taels of silver, but how can a family like this pay a mere hundred taels of silver?" I can’t even afford it, and it’s also because we know that the family can afford it, so our shopkeeper specially asked me to bring the hairpin to show the two girls, otherwise this hairpin would be easily hidden in our Yinlou.”

"You need more than 20 taels of silver just for the wages?" Before Lu Mingfu could speak, Xiao Tao couldn't help but yelled out, "It's enough for our whole family's daily expenses for a month, why don't you go and grab it? faster?"

This made the manager unhappy, and said with a half-smile: "Miss Xiaotao, what are you talking about? You get what you pay for. Since our silver house dares to offer such a price, it means that the hairpin is worth the money. Let's talk about this." Even the salary of the hairpin is only 120 taels of silver. Even my family has no real property, so I don’t take this little money seriously. After all, "a thousand gold can't buy a good heart", so it's not like what Miss Xiaotao said. Go grab it, Miss Xiaotao can't afford it by herself, so she thinks everyone can't afford it like you?"

The contemptuous tone and contemptuous eyes made Xiao Tao, who was secretly regretting her slip of the tongue, instantly blew up, and she wanted to sneer back without even thinking about it.

However, Lu Mingxuan spoke softly before her: "Although it is our maid who speaks rudely first, Chief Wu's tone of voice is too loud. Our family temple is small, and it really can't accommodate a big Bodhisattva like you, Wu Please go back in charge, our family really can't afford the mere hundred taels of silver, and we will have to take care of other family's business in the future." The woman who led the people in before she finished speaking said, "See off the guests!"

What Xiaotao said just now was indeed not pleasant, but Wu Zhangshi's attitude was a bit too bad. Don't you know that beating a dog depends on the owner, and he dared to run on Xiaotao like that in front of their sisters. The sisters also ran on together?With such a person, why should they take care of her business? It doesn't make sense for them to spend money and be angry for nothing, right?
