Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 85
While thinking about it, a clear female voice suddenly came from outside: "Madam, I am sister Fu, and my younger sister, sister Xuan, is here to bring you something to eat. Can we come in?"

Qi came back to her senses suddenly, remembered what she had just thought, couldn't help but blushed, quickly restrained her mind, and raised her voice to the outside: "You two girls, please come in." As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It is said that the two girls in the family are now raised in front of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, but what kind of appearance and temperament are they?More importantly, she is a stepmother after all, so I don't know if the two will reject her?If the two of them reject her, what should they do? Could it be that his master will blame his own pair of palm beads for her sake?
She was thinking wildly, when the door creaked open, and then two young girls, one tall and one short, came in. They were all born with bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful faces, like a fairy, especially the short one, she didn't know what to use. What words can describe it.

It's nothing more than a well-born man, his whole body is indescribable, his every move is indescribably good-looking, although he has many rings on his body, he walks without making a sound. Come to think of it, this is what is often said in books and dramas The real "every lady"?

Qi's heart unconsciously felt a little ashamed.

While Qi was sizing up Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan, the two sisters were also sizing up at her, but compared to Qi's eyes that didn't know how to cover up, the eyes of the two were much more invisible, making Qi Shi could hardly feel that they were looking at her.

As Lu Zhongxian said, Qi's skin was dark and rough, which is not really beautiful. Although he is a little cramped, his eyes are very energetic, and his whole person is clean, giving people a kind of gentleness but not strong The feeling is indeed very comfortable at first sight, so it's no wonder that Lu Zhongxian said that.Naturally, she is also wearing a bright red auspicious suit, but it is made of ordinary silk and satin, and there are few jewelry on her head and hands. However, in a rich room, she can keep her face unchanged and her eyes open. Don't glance around, this alone is enough for Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu to think highly of her again.

"Madam is hungry?" Lu Mingfu said with a smile, and opened the food box, and put the dishes inside on the table one by one: "My sister and I brought some refreshing side dishes, how about my wife Have something hot?"

"I'm not hungry, thank you two girls..." Qi smiled hurriedly, but before she finished speaking, there was a sound in her stomach. It was obvious that her stomach was much more honest than her own. Thinking about it, she herself Since I got up early in the morning, because I was afraid of making a fool of myself when sitting on the bed in the hall, I hardly ate or drank any water. After so many hours, it is really strange that my stomach is not hungry.

Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, it can be seen that Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu both looked generous, and they didn't mean to make fun of her at all, no matter how twitchy she is, she is not beautiful, but she is also generous. Said: "To tell you the truth, I have been tossing and tossing all day, I am indeed hungry, thank you two girls, then I will not be polite."

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu hurriedly laughed and said, "In my own family, my wife shouldn't be polite."

After Qi's meal was over, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu chatted with her for a while, guessing that Lu Zhongxian would be back soon, so they said goodbye and went back to their respective rooms.

The next day was the day when the couple offered tea to Gao Tang, but because Lu Zhongxian's parents died early, Qi only kowtowed three times to the tablet of Lu Zhongxian's parents, and insisted on kowtowing once to the tablets of Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan's mother , just stood up.

Then it was Lu Mingfu's and Lu Mingxuan's daughter's turn to meet Qi's, after all, they had already met last night, and it was quite natural for the mother and daughter to get along with each other now.Qi's meeting gift for the two was a pair of silver twisted silk bracelets about two taels in size. Originally, the meeting gift that Qi's mother had prepared for her was just two silver hairpins, but after meeting them, she felt that they were really good. My child, the original silver hairpin is a bit out of hand. Of course, the silver bracelet given now is far from any jewelry worn by the two of them, but it is her heart.

Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan also presented the shoes and socks they made for Qi, and after Qi took them, his eyes became softer when he looked at them.

The mother and daughter, who were strangers before yesterday, even though they met face to face, got along unexpectedly harmoniously. There was no tension between the stepmother and the stepchildren in other families. It was a good start. Lu Zhongxian was very relieved when he lost his head.

After Mrs. Qi returned home, with the instruction of Lu Zhongxian and the help of Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan, she gradually took over the support from the Lu family. Although her family is much larger than hers, but with the support of Lu Zhongxian's father and daughter, the people below dare not say anything to her, so within a few days, she has already started to get started; the key point is that she also serves Lu Zhongxian very well, The daily clothes, shoes and socks are all matched in advance, and three meals a day are arranged properly.

When Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu met, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about the future.

After a few more days like this, after Lu Zhongxian came back from the Duke's mansion, he called Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu to the main room and said, "The old madam sent me a message today, saying that I miss you, let me see you tomorrow." Then I will send you back to the mansion, and you can pack up the boxes and cages."

Lu Mingxuan wanted to go to Jifang Pavilion with all her heart, but she was so busy that she couldn't find time to come. After a few days, Qi's housework was finally taken care of. Now that she could spare time, who knew that she would go back to the Duke's mansion again. The only excuse was to ask Danqing to go shopping outside, and went to Comb Alley.

After Danqing came back, he said: "The shopkeeper Xiaochi's business is doing very well, and there are many guests. He said that this month's profit is expected to double again. Let the girl just rest assured, and let the servant ask the girl, now the profit in the store will double again. It's time to give Mr. Ling 45 taels of silver, but Mr. Ling still insists on only 20 taels, what should I do please show me?"

When Lu Mingxuan heard this, she remembered that since the last Youyou Valley incident, she had never seen Ling Mengqi again, and she didn't know how he is now?It's not good to think about it, after all, such an embarrassing and humiliating thing happened, but he still can't do anything to the instigator. Is it embarrassing for her?
Having said that, that incident was really embarrassing. Lu Mingxuan herself didn't think about how to face Ling Mengqi the next time she saw him. At that time, it was because the situation was urgent, so she broke in regardless of his disheveled clothes. When I think about it, it's not like that. The situation of the lonely man and the widow is still the same. Even if they are still young, if others see them, they will think in a wrong way. I can't speak clearly.

So in all fairness, Lu Mingxuan was actually a little thankful that Ling Mengqi hadn't gone to Jiushenglou a few days ago. Wasn't she afraid of embarrassing each other when they met each other, so she hid for several days before going because she really had nothing to read?
