Chapter 83
And Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu obviously didn't like him, and continued to twist him and act like a baby: "Oh, Dad, just tell me, is the new wife beautiful? Let's get to know the new wife better as soon as possible, and we will get along better in the future." Easy."

Wanting to get to know people so that we can get along more easily in the future is false, but wanting to gossip is true. Otherwise, why do you keep holding on to the question of 'beautiful or not'?Lu Zhongxian was slandering, seeing that the two daughters had a posture of not letting go of themselves without saying anything, and had no choice but to falter and moan: "It's beautiful...it's not so beautiful, but look. It's very comfortable..."

"What's the best way to be comfortable?" Lu Mingfu refused to give up, and after Lu Zhongxian rushed to ask about Chou Yinmao.

It made Lu Zhongxian tormented enough, and made Lu Mingxuan burst into laughter, unspeakably happy, and what else in this world can be happier than seeing the people closest to him happy?

After Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu came back, the Lu family's inner house was regarded as having people in charge. Although the two sisters were still young, the Lu family had a simple population. When the government came back after seeing the world, it was easy to take care of this small family of its own. Rao, as Lu Zhongxian's marriage was approaching, there were many trivial matters, but they were still taken care of in an orderly manner by the two.

Soon it was the day before the wedding, the day when the Qi family gave the dowry——the Qi family was Mrs. Lu Zhongxian's natal family.

Because of the decline of the Qi family's business, I also knew that the new wife would not have much dowry, or even no dowry at all, so after discussing with Lu Mingfu, the steward quietly sent a carload of things to Qi's house a few days ago , in order to save face for the new wife, so that she would not have a hard time gaining a foothold in front of her servants and Lu family members in the future.

Unexpectedly, the steward went to Qi's house for a tour, and brought back a cart full of things untouched, and also brought back the words of Qi's family: "Although I am poor, my ambition is not poor, and I am not poor. I have always believed in the saying "Conquer people with virtue". If I am not capable enough in virtue, no matter how much dowry I bring in, I will not be respected by the people above and below. If I am capable in virtue, it doesn't matter if I have no dowry. Could it be that I can't win the respect of everyone in the Lu family? Thank you two girls for your kindness, I will engrave it in my heart, but things must never be accepted, otherwise I will have no face to enter the Lu family!"

When Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu were surprised, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and in addition to being ashamed, they also felt a little respectful.

Lu Mingfu sighed: "I originally thought, no matter how good our new wife is, is there any girl in this world who doesn't expect her to marry well? But I didn't expect that we still underestimated her!"

When Lu Mingxuan heard this, she nodded and said: "It is true that we underestimated her and regarded her as an ordinary girl, but never thought that any ordinary girl can support the family with one hand, take good care of her mother and younger brother, and let her Younger brother was a scholar at such a young age, and she is praised by others? It can be seen that she must have something extraordinary, now I only hope that she can live a good life with my father, and give birth to a little brother for us earlier, so that we can There is no need to worry about the future in the Duke's Mansion, and Daddy will have successors."

If the Qi family is really that good, it would be Lu Zhongxian's blessing, and even more so, her blessing. If Lu Zhongxian is such a good person, he should have such a good person to match him. In her previous life, she was ignorant of Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu. His guilt can also be alleviated by at least half!
Therefore, the dowry sent by Qi's family today is only six boxes totaling twelve boxes. Except for the cotton quilt that the natal family must prepare for the newlyweds, the rest is the betrothal gift sent by Lu Zhongxian before. Those who intend to send more dowry gifts to marry away as if they are the daughter of the support family, and it is too unreasonable not to give more compensation.

But since the Qi family is not even willing to accept the things that Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu secretly sent people, naturally they will not accept more of Lu Zhongxian's dowry. The reason is 'we are marrying a daughter, not selling a daughter', so Lu Zhongxian sent The dowry gift was not much, only a few dozen taels of silver, and now most of it was sent back by the Qi family.

This made the other members of the Lu family who came to have a wedding and help, most of them pursed their mouths, and those who were secretly jealous because Lu Zhongxian's two daughters had entered the Duke's mansion to live with Mrs. Lu immediately gloated Talking ironically: "I heard that the new sister-in-law was born in a scholarly family and is extremely noble. Now it seems that this 'noble' Qing must be changed to a 'poor' Qing!"

It's a pity that just as he finished speaking, the dowry sender from Qi's family had already opened the last dowry, but it was full of books. You must know that most of the books at that time were very expensive, and other people would not even be willing to buy them, nor could they afford them. Not to mention that like the Qi family, they directly gave their daughter a dowry full of books to their husband's house. With this book, although the Qi family's dowry is still not very thick, it must not be said to be thin anymore. .

Now all the offshoots are resentful and have nothing more to say, they just slander in their hearts, an old girl who can't get married at the age of 20 must have some unspeakable problems, the days are still long, don't be afraid when they don't see a good show!
The next day was a good day for Lu Zhongxian to marry a girl from the Qi family. The three small courtyards of the Lu family were decorated with lights and festoons, giving them a new look, and a lively and festive atmosphere rushed over.

Early in the morning, Lu Mingxuan got up, changed into a peach red beige embroidered with embroidered gold, and wanted to go to Lu Mingfu's room and asked her to go to the main room to see how Lu Zhongxian was doing. She didn't want to leave the room, Then I saw Lu Mingfu, who was dressed in begonia red and golden grape pattern, and who was dressed up like her in a festive manner but would not steal the limelight from the new wife, was walking towards her room.

The two sisters greeted each other and went to the main room together.

Lu Zhongxian had already washed and washed, and changed into a bright red auspicious suit, which made him look several years younger at once, and truly echoed the old saying "people are happy when they have happy events".

Lu Mingxuan saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel regret again. Looking at Lu Zhongxian's appearance, she was obviously looking forward to marrying a girl from the Qi family, or in other words, she was obviously looking forward to having someone by her side who knew the cold and the hot. Several times when she wanted to marry a new person, she was messed up by herself—luckily, she was reborn before it was too late, otherwise she would really be to blame for her death!

Thoughts flashed by, and Lu Mingfu's laughing voice rang in his ears: "Daddy looks really good today, but why is there a circle of black shadows under his eyes? Could it be that he was so happy that he couldn't sleep last night? Do you want me to let you sleep?" Let someone boil eggs to give dad a hot compress, so as not to damage the image when he goes to meet the bride later? Sister, don’t you think so?”

Lu Mingxuan came back to her senses, and saw that Lu Mingfu was smiling narrowly and winking at herself, she couldn't help but also laughed, nodded and said: "Sister is right, I'll let someone boil the eggs, I must let Daddy appeared in the best condition in front of the bride's relatives, and let them all know what a handsome and extraordinary husband his daughter married!"
