Chapter 69 Chaochao doesn’t care about money
New Year's Day.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Xu family invited all the clan elders into the Marquis Mansion.
The old lady also came out to take charge of the overall situation.
"Where is Yuanze? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year's ancestral worship, why hasn't he returned home?" Chief Lu asked.
Marquis Zhongyong is the most promising branch of the Lu family, and Qingxi attaches great importance to this branch who serves as an official in the capital. I make a special trip to the Hou Mansion every year.
certainly……
Mainly to beat the autumn wind.
The old house in Qingxi also built an academy specifically for children of the Lu family to study for free.
In previous years, Xu had to fill the hole with dowry out of his own pocket.
As for this year…
Xu rolled her eyes secretly.
The old lady smiled and said, "I'm out to socialize today."
"Wait a minute, clan elders. Let Yuanze come back tomorrow to make amends." The old lady glanced at Xu, with displeasure in her eyes.
Mrs. Xu took out Su Zhiqing's birth date.
"The Marquis promised to make Miss Su his equal wife. Today is the time to worship the ancestors, so please record her name."
"In the future, I will be half the mistress of the Hou Mansion and half the mother of several children."
The old lady was stunned: "My wife? How come I don't know about this?"
Su Zhiqing pinched her palms, her eyes red.
The old lady's tone softened and she couldn't bear it.
Apart from anything else, Su Zhiqing was extremely popular with her, and she liked it.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Mom, this is Master Hou's decision."
"Besides, the Marquis has been guarding Yun Niang for more than ten years. Yun Niang... can't serve the Marquis now, and she can't leave the Marquis with no one around her." Mr. Xu looked lonely, but the old lady was relieved.
"Since it was the Marquis's idea, let's record my wife."
New Year's Day.
Witnessed by the elders of the clan, Su Zhiqing's birth date was written on the family tree and she became an equal wife.
Several children called me "little mother".
This is a serious elder.
Lu Chaochao stood at the end with a horrified look on his face.
I watched helplessly as the old lady, along with a group of clan elders, kowtowed to her doll and prayed for blessings.
The little guy couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Lu Zhengyue looked at her suspiciously, what could the little guy do? Why do you look so guilty?
On the first day of the new year, the Hou Mansion was bustling with activity.
In the small alley in the west of the city, Pei Jiaojiao wiped her tears in grievance.
The cold pot and cold stove are quite deserted.
During this period, Pei Jiaojiao was a little panicked.
It was clear that Jinghuai was becoming more and more outstanding, but Lu Yuanze's heart seemed to be no longer with him.
Whenever she came to the courtyard, she would always be in a hurry to go back to the house with her. I always feel reluctant to part with her...
But now...
Lu Yuanze's eyes were extremely clean, and he didn't even look at her twice.
It seemed like something was out of control.
"Brother Ze, what should Jing Huai do? His classmates who used to be close to him now despise his status as a concubine and are unwilling to make friends with him."
"Jiaojiao has a humble status. As long as she can stay by the Marquis' side and serve the Marquis, Jiaojiao will be satisfied."
"But Jinghuai can't. He has great ambitions and great talents, but now he is being criticized." Pei Jiaojiao raised her hands to wipe away her tears, a move that usually made Lu Yuanze feel distressed, and he took her into his arms.
At this moment, Lu Yuanze frowned slightly.
Pei Jiaojiao is over thirty years old, and after all, the years have worn her out a bit.
How can she compare to Su Zhiqing, whose skin is as white and smooth as snow?
He was like a fed cat now, unresponsive.
Pei Jiaojiao's heart sank again and again.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanze valued Lu Jinghuai very much.
"Brother Ze, how about I go and beg Sister Yun. I can be a slave and serve the Marquis and serve her. But can you put Brother Jinghuai in her name so that Jinghuai can have a proper identity?"
"I can kowtow to her and be her footwasher. It doesn't matter if Jiaojiao is wronged!"
"I just ask her to be kind to Jinghuai and her children. We can't let the blood of the Hou family wander outside." Pei Jiaojiao's posture was as low as dust, and her tears kept falling.
Lu Yuanze sighed secretly: "How can you be a foot-washing maid? You have raised a pair of excellent children, and she is worthy of it?"
"Jinghuai, we must not live outside."
Lu Yuanze felt a little uncomfortable. Yanshu was a paralytic, but he still occupied the position of heir apparent. How could this be possible?
The Hou Mansion cannot be left to a paralyzed person.
Zhengyue is not capable enough and Yuanxiao is too young.
Only Jinghuai.
"Yesterday, all the greeting cards sent by Jing Huai were returned. The lights were on in Jing Huai's room all night, just for fear of feeling uncomfortable."
"He doesn't say anything with his mouth, but in his heart, he definitely wants to bring Jieyuan back to bring glory to you."
Lu Yuanze felt warm in his heart.
Such an outstanding and ambitious son must not be left alone.
It's a pity that the witchcraft didn't bring down the Xu family or severely damage the Xu family last time. It's a pity.
"Don't worry, you have waited for me for eighteen years, and I will understand your intentions."
"I will never let you suffer in vain."
"The position of the heir apparent must belong to Jinghuai."
"And our Jingyao, she has been approved by the imperial master. She is extremely precious and the most precious treasure in the world. How can such an outstanding child be left alone? You are a great contributor to our palace." Lu Yuanze said. , which made Pei Jiaojiao smile again.
She glanced at Lu Yuanze, turned around and entered the room.
There was no one in the house at the moment.
She shyly put on the clothes designed by Jing Yao.
I don’t know how Jing Yao’s little brain grew. Not only can she help her brother compose poems, but she can also make clothes.
This clothes...
Pei Jiaojiao blushed at the first glance.
A thin belt only just covers the shame, but it can also outline the figure extremely well.
He raises his hands and feet, showing his desires but not revealing them.
She was hesitant at first, but now she put it on without hesitation.
As soon as Lu Yuanze turned around, he was so taken away that he lost his mind and even fell into a trance for a moment.
This scene was too shocking.
The room is full of spring light and full of spring spirit.
And at this moment, Tingfeng Yuan.
Lu Chaochao had a stern face and looked at his second brother seriously.
Her little face hesitated to speak. She opened her mouth several times and then said slowly: "Erguo... you drank too much this morning." The little guy asked the second brother expectantly.
"Head, does it still hurt?" The little guy looked concerned.
Lu Zhengyue felt a little warm in his heart and touched Chaochao's head: "Second brother, the pain is gone."
Chao Chao looked at him eagerly: "Wake up, wine soup, does it taste good?" His voice was thin and childish.
Lu Zhengyue was stunned.
ah.
It suddenly occurred to me that I had a few extra drinks with my family boss this morning.
I went out temporarily for something and didn't have any loose money in my pocket, so I borrowed money from Chao Chao Chao to buy sobering soup.
Lu Zhengyue hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his pocket: "Thank you very much to Chaochao for borrowing money to buy sobering soup this morning. I almost forgot." He handed the silver to Chaochao.
Chao Chao shook his head, glanced at Yin Zi, and refused to take over.
"Er Guo Guo Guo!"
"Chaochao, no, people who care about six taels of silver!" After the little baby said it, he nodded his head heavily.
Lu Zhengyue...
Momo took out another one or two.
The little man opposite quickly reached out and put six taels of silver back into his pocket.
He waved his hands solemnly: "As a family, we don't care about money!"
Silver, hold it tightly.
[How come my second brother is a deadbeat! 】
[Even the children’s red envelopes have to be borrowed. Borrow six taels and return five taels! snort! Don't look bad! 】
Lu Zhengyue: Did you say you don’t care about money? ! ! !
