Chapter 91 The British Government 6

At that time, Lu Zhenwei, the grandfather of the British Duke Lu Chao, and Emperor Gaozu were brothers and sisters. He followed Emperor Gaozu in the east and west campaigns and made outstanding achievements.

 After Emperor Gaozu brought peace to the world, he made Lu Zhenwei the Duke of England and granted him the Duke's mansion when he was discussing meritorious deeds.

The British Duke's residence is the only hereditary residence in the Daxing Kingdom, and is uniquely distinguished among the wealthy families in the capital.

When Lu Chao was young, he was the most popular son-in-law candidate among the royal family and nobles in the capital.

 Finally, Lu Chao’s mother chose Huang Ke, the daughter of Huang Xiao, a Hanlin scholar, for him.

 At that time, Huang Ke was known as the most talented woman in the capital. It's a pity that Huang failed to pass through the gate of **** when she gave birth to Lu Ziqin's father, Lu Dingkun.

 One year after Huang's death, Concubine Xi in the palace pointed out her cousin to Lu Chao as her stepmother.

After Yang married Lu Chao, they gave birth to a son, Lu Dingning, who is now the minister of the Ministry of War. They have the eldest daughter Lu Dingxin, the second daughter Lu Dingshu, and the youngest daughter Lu Dingyan.

After Yang entered the house, he took in four concubines for Lu Chao. The four concubines gave birth to four concubines for Lu Chao: Lu Dingquan, Lu Dingben, Lu Dingming and Lu Dinggang.

 The four concubines have passed away one after another. Now serving Lu Chao is Aunt Lancaolan, a former maid of the Yang family.

After the British Duke became a general, the four concubines, like Lu Dingkun, lived with the army at the border.

The only two people left in the mansion are Lu Dingkun, the daughter of his first wife Huang, and Lu Dingning, the daughter of his step-wife Yang.

Lu Ziqin left the courtyard gate of Wenyuan Pavilion and went to Shuying Garden. When he arrived at Zuixin Pavilion, Aunt Yao who was beside Mrs. Ye bowed her knees to him.

Lu Ziqin was not surprised to see Grandma Yao and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

Madam Yao bent her knees and responded: "Back to the Sixth Master, my wife asked the old slave to wait for the Sixth Master here. My wife said that if the Sixth Master comes out from the Duke's place before the You hour, she will ask the Sixth Master to go to Linglong Garden."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Mama Yao bent her knees to return the courtesy and led the way forward.

Lu Ziqin went to Linglong Garden, and Mrs. Ye was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard drinking tea. Seeing him coming, Mrs. Ye pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for him to sit down.

Lu Ziqin bowed his hands and bowed in greeting, then sat down opposite Mrs. Ye.

 Mrs. Ye pushed the teacup in front of Lu Ziqin and said, "Try it, it's the melon slices you like."

 “Thank you, mother.” Lu Ziqin picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile, “Good tea, mother took the trouble.”

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Why bother? I also love melon slices, so I kept some with me."

When Mrs. Ye said this, she put away her smile and continued: "Although today has passed, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for the old lady. Tomorrow, she may find some excuse to make things difficult for you. You have to be aware of it." ”

Lu Ziqin twitched the corners of his lips, smiled dryly, and said, "Mom, relax, there is no need to worry too much. Over the years, how often have you not found trouble for nothing? My son has long been used to it, so he just ignores her."

Mrs. Ye raised her head to look at Lu Ziqin and said with a smile: "What? The Duke didn't scold you? From the look of you, you seem to have been commended by the Duke?"

 Lv Ziqin smiled and said, "My mother is really sharp-eyed. I can't hide anything from her."

As he said that, Lu Ziqin took out the brocade box from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table, "Mother, take a look."

Mrs. Ye reached for the brocade box and asked, "What is this? Agarwood?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, my grandfather rewarded me!"

Mrs. Ye lowered her head and smelled it, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's the best agarwood. Ziqin is right. Just ignore her when it comes to the old lady. The real head of the family in this mansion is the Duke of the country. If she doesn't Strong, but just a paper tiger."
