marriage gentleman

Chapter 71

Qi Xuan, Zhou Muqing and Murong Cheng came to the front of the Lu residence.

There is a yellow pear wood plaque hanging on the door, with the word "Lu Mansion" written on it, with a square shape and a steady and strong pen.A large group of people stood under the plaque to greet Shengjia, and the one at the front was Ming Qing.

"Lu Mou pays homage to His Majesty, and may His Majesty be blessed and safe."

Everyone in the Lu residence knelt down to salute.

Qi Xuan said: "Get up, there is no need to be polite." Then, he looked at Mingqing in front of him again, and said with a smile: "When I entered Xiangjun, I heard that a great businessman came to Xiangjun recently. In just a few years, he became one of the four richest merchants in Xiang County. Seeing him now, he really lives up to his reputation."

Ming Qing said with a smile: "Your Majesty is absurd."

He turned sideways and said: "Lu has prepared the banquet, Your Majesty and all the adults please come in."

In the past half a year, Ming Qing was the one who negotiated business outside.

Lu Li often accompanied Qi Guang in the mansion and handed over the business to Ming Qing.When she went out occasionally, she never reported her name, and only stayed by Mingqing's side.And everyone outside knew that Ming Qing was in charge of the Lu family's business, and Ming Qing never voluntarily reported her name, so they often thought that Ming Qing was the owner of the Lu family.

After a long time, everyone called Mingqing Lu Dong's family.

Ming Qing also acquiesced.

But there are very few people who really know that Lu Li is the owner, except for Su Chengyu's parents, there are only people from the Lu family.A group of people came to the hall.

Qi Xuan sat at the main seat, Zhou Muqing and Murong Cheng were both on the lower left and lower right seats.

Qi Xuan had just heard what Song's father said, and he had a desire to recruit talents in his heart, and he asked questions in a friendly manner as soon as he sat down.

There is a lot of consideration in the words.

You said something to me, and after half an hour passed, Qi Xuan felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Although his conversation was decent, his views were very ordinary. After listening to Qi Xuan, he knew why it was difficult for the Lu family to get ahead in the capital. There were too many such people in the capital.But on the other hand, it can be seen that Ming Qing is smart, the capital is full of talents, so he took a step back and came to a small place to show his talent.

It's just that being smart is smart, such a person is destined not to have great talent.

Qi Xuan gave up his desire to attract talents.

Zhou Muqing, who had been quietly observing the furnishings in the hall, was in a daze.

Utensils like gilt, bowls and dishes like five-petal lotus patterns, and the colors of the decorations on Bogu racks range from light to dark, and they can't be sloppy at all.

The furnishings here are so similar, as if when he turned his head, he could see her lazily sitting on the mahogany chair, resting her right hand on her chest, looking at him with a smile, her red lips parted slightly.

"Ah Qing, you're here."

He suddenly laughed softly, and Qi Xuan glanced at him, only to hear him say: "The furnishings in your house are very similar to the preferences of an old friend of mine." After a slight pause, he said: "I heard that Mrs. Strange woman..."

Murong Cheng has always liked beauties.

It was very rare that he did not argue with Zhou Muqing, and echoed: "This general has also heard about it."

Ming Qing showed a troubled expression.

He said: "Your Majesty came to the humble house. My wife should have dressed up to welcome her, but unfortunately today is the day of my wife's delivery. Lu was afraid that the filth would hit His Majesty, so he could only let my wife stay in the inner courtyard to give birth."

Hearing this, Murong Cheng immediately stopped thinking.

When a woman gives birth, it's bloody and bloody, and it's really filthy.Thinking of this, Murong Cheng gave Zhou Muqing another look, as if to blame.Zhou Muqing's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen it.

At this time, Qi Xuan had no intention of seeing the beauty, and soon left the Lu residence.

A group of people walked out of the Lu residence.

Zhou Muqing looked back at the plaque thoughtfully.

Ming Qing sent Qi Xuan off in fear and trepidation, but at this moment, Zhou Muqing said: "People have three urgencies, Mr. Lu doesn't mind if I enter the mansion again?"

Ming Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and said, "I don't mind, Mr. Zhou please."

Saying that, Ming Qing winked at a young servant.

The servant hurried forward and took Zhou Muqing to the toilet.But he said that Lu Li had never been so anxious in his entire life.

The new emperor has arrived outside, and most of the people can only be allocated to meet Sheng Jia.There were fewer people inside, and Qi Guang couldn't give birth for a long time. Her forehead was covered with sweat. He had never seen her look so painful.

A double-sided screen stands up.

Liu Quan stood outside the screen and asked about Po Wen's current situation.After Wen Po said, he continued to guide Wen Po.Lu Li didn't care whether it was filthy or not, as soon as Qi Guang's amniotic fluid broke, he carried her back to his room.

He squatted by the bed and never left again.

He kept wiping the sweat off Qi Guang's forehead.

Qi Guang asked weakly, "Has he left yet?"

Lu Li held her hand tightly, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if I'm here." He knew Qi Xuan well, if it was really because of Father Song's words that he came to the Lu Mansion, as long as Ming Qing behaved mediocrely and did not surpass her. In an hour he will be gone.

Another wave of labor pains hit.

Qi Guang's eyes were flushed with pain.

Wen Po said: "Ma'am, if you work harder, the baby will come out. One, two, three, madam, use your strength!"

Lu Li looked at her, wishing he could empathize with her.

He didn't want her to suffer.

He knew that it was extremely difficult for a woman to give birth, so he undoubtedly walked around in front of the Hall of Yama, but he did not expect it to be so difficult, every moan of Qi Guang seemed to tug on his nerves.

He glanced at Qi Guang's belly, and for the first time he lost the joy he had before.

Really... a bastard, dare to torment his Qi Guang like this. "Master Zhou, this way please."

Zhou Muqing stopped and smiled gently: "There is no need to see you off, I know the way out of the mansion, you can go back on your own."

"But……"

Zhou Muqing said: "Your wife is going to give birth today. There were many people in your mansion when you greeted the holy driver. It must be that your mansion is in a hurry now. I already remember the way out of the mansion."

The young servant never thought that the high officials in the capital could be so kind, and he was a little moved in his heart.

He said: "Master Zhou is so sympathetic to his servants, the villain is very grateful, but my young master told me that Mr. Zhou is a noble person, so you must not neglect it. Please don't make things difficult for the villain, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Muqing was startled, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Muqing left the Lu residence.

The new emperor and Murong Cheng had already left, and Zhou Muqing's carriage was still outside the Lu residence.The boy bowed and nodded with a smile on his face.Zhou Muqing pulled the corner of his lower lip, looked at the word "Lu Mansion" on the plaque again, stepped on the steps, bent down and got into the carriage.

The coachman lowered the curtain and raised his whip, and after a while the carriage gradually disappeared in front of the servant.

At this moment Ming Qing walked out from behind the door and asked: "Did Master Zhou tell you anything?"

The boy shook his head and said, "Everything is according to the young master's order."

Ming Qing nodded in satisfaction.

The young master was really predictable and guessed that Zhou Muqing would return.Fortunately, he had already prepared for it. After the incident in Hedu last time, the selection of servants in the mansion was made through Mingqing's selection process. They were completely trustworthy and loyal servants.At the same time, in Qi Guang's room.

Only Granny Wen's joyful voice sounded: "Madam! Work harder, you've already seen the end! Ah! Your hands are out! Quick! Quick! Quickly fetch the scissors that have been boiled in hot water."

The surrounding maidservants suddenly exclaimed.

"The scissors are gone!"

Lu Li shouted: "Hurry up and get a new handful."

Liu Quan also heard the situation inside, he shouted: "Get a new pair of scissors, and boil a pot of hot water."

The servant girl in the room panicked and couldn't find the scissors for a while.Wen Po also broke out in cold sweat, and said, "How can I cut the umbilical cord without scissors?"

Liu Quan seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up.

"I remember just seeing the scissors in front of the vanity mirror."

Yun Zhen said, "I'll go get it."

As soon as Qi Guang started to go into labor, Yun Zhen and Liu Quan stayed behind the screen.It was the first time he heard the painful groan of a woman giving birth, and his face turned white and pale with fright, but he didn't know what he could do to help Qi Guang, so he stood at a loss and worried with Liu Quan.

Now hearing that the scissors were gone, Yun Zhen suddenly felt that he had a role to play.

The dressing table was not far from the screen, and Yun Zhen walked there in a few steps.He rummaged through, but couldn't find the scissors, then opened the makeup box casually, and after looking through it carefully, he suddenly froze.

At this moment, a servant girl said, "I found it! I found it!"

Accompanied by the maidservant's joyful voice, there was also a loud cry.

Only Wen Po said: "Congratulations, young master, Mrs. Hexi, you are a daughter."

The servant girl wiped off the blood and filth from the little girl's body, carefully placed it in the swaddle, and then sent it to Lu Li and Qi Guang.Seeing the crumpled little girl in her infancy, Qi Guang suddenly felt that something in his heart became extremely soft.

She said: "Jing Heng, we have got our wish."

He glanced at the little girl, still holding Qi Guang's hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Would you like to hug our daughter?"

Lu Li said, "Wait a minute, now... my legs are numb."
