Chapter 9 Father and Daughter
Wu Zhangshi didn't expect that the quick talk made him lose a big business in vain, and even lost the Lu family as a customer. I spent hundreds of taels of silver, but now I lost it. After I go back, I don’t know how the shopkeeper will punish me. I can’t help being afraid and regretful, but it’s a pity that I haven’t had time to say an explanation. The mother-in-law of the family was thrown out repeatedly, so she had to leave the Lu family resentfully, not to mention much.

Now it is only said that Lu Mingfu felt happy when she saw Zhang Wu being kicked out by Lu Mingxuan, but Xiao Tao was her maidservant, she was ostracized by Zhang Wu, and she was the master who was most humiliated. But only for a moment, he couldn't help frowning: "The old man's birthday will be in ten days. We are used to making jewelry in Jinyutang on weekdays. It's rare that his style is also new and ingenious. Now Where should I go to find a trustworthy bank?"

There is one more thing she didn't say, although there are quite a few famous silver houses in the capital, there are very few silver houses like Jin Yutang that specialize in the business of middle and lower families like them. Now that Lu Mingxuan has driven the people from Jin Yutang away, they What should I do with my jewelry, like the hairpin just now, apart from Jinyutang, I am afraid that only a few big silver houses can have it?
However, Lu Mingxuan looked confident: "What's the problem? At worst, we can draw the shape ourselves and find a silver shop with a good reputation to print it out. Could it be that without him, Jinyutang, we won't make jewelry?" Li took the pen and paper.

This is another reason why Lu Mingxuan just kicked out the head of Wu without any explanation. In her previous life, she followed Lu Mingzhu step by step. She didn't learn anything else, and she still has a certain level of appreciation for clothes and jewelry. Advantages, know the clothes and jewelry that will be popular in a few years, and draw a few patterns of the new jewelry, isn't that easy to grasp?And who doesn't like Shixin jewelry among women, after she draws a few new looks for Lu Mingfu, still worry about her not getting close to her?
Sure enough, after Lu Mingxuan drew some fashion jewelry that Lu Mingfu had never seen before, Lu Mingfu's suspicious gaze suddenly became brighter, and she couldn't help but excitedly said: "Once these kinds of jewelry are printed out, they will be as long as they are sold." I'm afraid it looks even better than that hairpin just now, how did you come up with it?"

Lu Mingxuan just smiled and said nothing, but Xiaotao, who accepted her love, said: "Never mind how the second girl came up with it, just by looking at the design, she knows that it is better than all the jewelry in Jin Yutang. I really should let that Mrs. Wu take a look, It also prevents her from thinking that her jewelry is so beautiful and expensive!"

Most of Lu Mingfu's attention was on the shapes of the jewelry, so she didn't bother to think about how Lu Mingxuan came up with it, and hurriedly followed Xiaotao's words and asked Lu Mingxuan, "What materials should these jewelry be made of?" Is it better to type? Red gold or red silver? Do you need pearls and precious stones? I’m afraid it will cost a lot of silver... Or do you just type one or two things first, and do the rest later?”

Lu Mingxuan explained to Lu Mingfu one by one: "This hairpin can be made of tortoise shell, and this hairpin can only be made of red gold as a backing. Pearls must be used for this hairpin, but there is a Four or five are enough, and it doesn't cost much money..."

Not only Lu Mingfu listened, but also her nanny Li Mama and Xiaotao, and Huang Mama and Xiaoli. Although they can't afford these jewelries, they are not worthy of them because of their identities. It is good after all.

So when it was time for lunch, the relationship between the two parties who thought they were "incompatible" had unknowingly eased up a lot.

In the next two days, Lu Mingxuan still ran to Lu Mingfu's room whenever she had time. Mama Huang and Xiao Li got what she said, and when they met Mama Li and Xiao Tao, they didn't smile or open their mouths, and they became more and more acquainted with each other. stand up.

As a result, Lu Zhongxian finished his business in the Duke's mansion that day, and when he returned home an hour earlier than usual, he saw the two sisters and their maids and their maids sitting in the flower hall happily and happily, and thought it was his eyesight.

"Daddy, you're back!"

Lu Zhongxian was still in a daze, but Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan had already seen him, they both got up and greeted him, and bowed their knees to greet him, Lu Mingxuan also told Xiaoli: "Go to the kitchen and see if the soup is ready, if it's done, Then bring it up for daddy to drink." She specially ordered to add a lot of herbs to nourish yin and moisten dryness in the soup, which is very good for Lu Zhongxian's body.

Lu Mingfu helped Lu Zhongxian to sit on the main seat in the center, and pressed his head with neither light nor heavy force.

Since Li's death, this is the first time that Lu Zhongxian has enjoyed such treatment, and he closed his eyes comfortably, only to feel that the fatigue all over his body disappeared all of a sudden, and he couldn't think about why the two suddenly A daughter is just that good.

Soon Xiaoli came back with the soup, Lu Mingxuan took it personally, served Lu Zhongxian and ate two bowls, and Lu Zhongxian's last two points of fatigue disappeared. He accidentally saw the sewing basket on the table, and asked with a smile: "What do you two sisters do? Don't you hand over all your clothes to the sewing crew?"

Lu Mingfu said with a smile: "My sister and I are so grown up, we can't leave everything to the sewing crew, and it's time to learn a little bit, so we've been working together these few days... …By the way, Daddy, why did you come back so early today, but the Duke’s mansion is already busy with errands?”

Lu Mingxuan also smiled and said, "Then daddy can be free for a few days?"

Lu Zhongxian looked at the pair of daughters lovingly and gratifiedly, and said with a smile: "It's almost too busy, but I can't take it easy. I'm afraid there will be a large number of guests coming to the door in the past few days. I don't know before the old man's birthday is over. , Is there ever a day when I go home early like today? Since you are all here today, I will tell you about the Duke’s Mansion first. In the eyes of the old man, she has to stay with her for three or two years, and follow the nuns to learn the rules and knowledge, and to keep her eyebrows high and her eyes low, which will be of great benefit no matter when she gets married or handles affairs in the future."

The words made Lu Mingxuan's heart skip a beat for an instant, and she knew that Lu Zhongxian was talking about the two of their sisters, but he was actually targeting her alone. I think Mrs. Lu had hinted or even made it clear to him—— Although Mrs. Lu treated her well in the previous life, as Lu Zhongxian said, if she and Lu Mingfu can get Mrs. Lu to stay by their side for a few years, it will be of great benefit to them in the future when they say they get married to their husband's family. Compared with her life and even her life, this benefit is insignificant. Naturally, she will not be so stupid as to let herself be imprisoned and repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

Lu Mingxuan forced herself to hold back her mind, smiled and said to Lu Zhongxian: "Father, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to God to make things happen. If my sister and I can really have that fortune, it would be best if we were seen by the old lady. If we don't have that fortune, it's no big deal Yes, don’t tell me we are just short of days, although our current days are not enough compared to the last, but more than enough compared to the next..."
