The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 118 The war between women

After everyone dispersed, the second uncle stayed at the end, obviously having something to say to Lu Changle.

"Second uncle, do you have any orders?" Lu Changle asked in a low voice.

"Brother Le, whether the Lu family can pass this test, the Fuzhou Yang family's attitude is Guan Jian."

Lu Changle nodded and said: "Second Uncle is right, I am going to go to the Yang family to try to gain the support of the Yang family."

"Oh, what kind of support does Brother Le want to get?"

"Yang's and Lu's stand on the same front and advance and retreat together. Besides, I want to use Yang's printing workshop to do some publicity."

The core of the militia joint defense is the Lu and Yang clans. The Yang clan has a population of over 1000, more than [-] well-trained Yang clan disciples, a paper workshop, a printing workshop, and the Moxiang study. These are what Lu Changle wants.
Especially the printing workshop and Moxiang study, which are sharp tools for publicity.

The second uncle took a look at Lu Changle, shook his head and said, "Whether it's fighting against the Zheng family or doing something in troubled times, it's a dead-headed business. Yang's family background is much stronger than Lu's. Take risks with us? Unless...the two races get married."

Lu Changle heard the implication, and said hesitantly: "Marriage? What does the second uncle mean, I married Yang Xuan?"

"This is the best solution, and it is also the way to completely resolve the conflict between the Lu and Yang clans. Besides, you don't have the name of husband and wife, but you have the reality of husband and wife. From the old man's point of view, although Miss Yang is a bit willful, her family background, appearance Looks and figure are good, it is a good match."

After a pause, the second uncle said with a smile: "The two of you have developed rapidly recently. The old man has lived for dozens of years. You can't read it wrong, hahaha"

Lu Changle just hesitated for a while, and soon made a decision: "Second Uncle is right, it's not a loss if you marry."

A good-looking beauty hangs around all day long, it must be a lie to say that she is not attracted,

Such a good thing, to put it off is hypocrisy,
Yang Xuan is the eldest lady who has a bit more temper,
This kind of proud girl with outstanding looks is the most likely to arouse men's desire to conquer, besides, Lu Changle has to justify his name.

The second uncle made a lot of sense. There is nothing easier than marriage to eliminate the grievances between the two races.

"Do you need the old man to come forward for you?"

"No, anyway, I have something to go to Shurong Village, let me tell you."

I don't know how Yang Zhengbao reacted, but he was really furious, the second uncle's old arms and legs couldn't bear to be beaten.

Second Uncle: Hehe.

After the discussion, Lu Changle walked outside the ancestral hall, found Yang Xuan who was a bit bored and said, "Guard Yang, it seems that you haven't been home for a few days, are you homesick?"

The Lu family held a secret meeting, and Yang Xuan wanted to avoid suspicion, so he could only wait outside the ancestral hall.

"Lu Changle, what's your plan?" Yang Xuan glanced at Lu Changle and said with some doubts.

"With you watching, what idea can I make? I want to discuss some business with Patriarch Yang. I just want to go to your village."

Yang Xuan asked curiously: "Business? What business?"

"Seeing that you are a good guard, I bought you," Lu Changle said with a smile.

Yang Xuan said disdainfully: "It's up to you? Sleep and dream faster."

In the past, Yang Xuan would have been irritated by Lu Changle's words, and would hit him with a long stick. After getting along with each other these days, she has become immune to Lu Changle's open mouth.

Well, sometimes, this guy has a good sense of humor.

Soon, Yang Xuan frowned and said, "Didn't you say you were going to talk to my father about the business? It was a lie just now?"

I got a beautiful mirror, and I want to go back and show it off to my little sister,
Who told them to laugh at themselves for asking for trouble, let the young lady do nothing, and serve as other people's guards,

If they saw the mirror in their hands, their eyes would turn red with envy.

But the direction Lu Changle is going is to go to the back mountain.

Lu Changle said without turning his head: "A good young man like me who is knowledgeable about books and etiquette can't come to the door empty-handed. You have to prepare some gifts."

Yang Xuan's heart moved, and she hurriedly chased after her and said flatteringly, "Lu Changle, can I follow in and have a look?"

That mirror was made in the shed in the back mountain. Yang Xuan was always curious about how it was made, but she couldn't get in.

"Want to go in and see?"

Yang Xuan nodded vigorously: "Think, don't worry, I will never tell anyone."

"Whether you can go in or not, the decision is actually in your hands. As I said, I have no resistance to beauty tricks now."

"Get out, Miss Ben doesn't care to watch, I don't bother to talk to you." Yang Xuan stomped her feet angrily, and turned to ignore Lu Changle.

Can't do it, can't do it, wait for this shameless person to get the set of jewelry that he promised to give him, and then teach him severely.

Saying it was ignoring, soon Yang Xuan was defeated by the Law of True Fragrance again, holding a small brocade box and smiling happily.

Lu Changle gave her ten palm-sized mirrors, and asked Yang Xuan to take them back and give them to the little sisters who had been close friends in the clan.

This is a matter of saving face, holding the brocade box, Yang Xuan already thought of the scene where the little sisters would do everything to please themselves in order to get a small mirror,
Yes, it is a small mirror, much smaller than my own, and it is still wrapped with wood,

Unlike my side, which is inlaid with gold and stones, it looks like a high-end product at first glance.

Shurong Village is just across the river. Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Changle was sitting in the living room of the patriarch Yang Zhengbao's house.

After Yang Xuan led Lu Changle to the living room, he asked the maid to bring snacks and tea, and soon disappeared.

The butler said that Yang Zhengbao was not there, and had already sent someone to look for him, and asked Lu Changle to wait for a while,
Lu Changle had no objection either, he came in a hurry and didn't have an appointment,

Being able to sit in the living room and wait, with snacks and hot tea, compared to the past when we met each other to fight, the relationship has improved a lot.

While Lu Changle was sitting and waiting, Yang Xuan had already arrived at the small lake in the village.

The small building in the middle of the lake was originally a place to enjoy the lake and cool off, and gradually became a place where the young women of the clan gathered.
As long as there is nothing to do, the young women of the Yang family will gather together to paint, embroider, do needlework, etc., pass some gossip to each other, and occasionally gather together to discuss in a low voice which young man is handsome. There are many people every day.

As soon as Yang Xuan appeared, Huxin Xiaozhu immediately became lively:
"Sisters, Xiaoxuan is back"

"Sister Xiaoxuan, didn't you say you wanted to show off to that Patriarch Lu, have you got the croton powder yet?"

"Miss Xiaoxuan, you are so confused, I wish I hadn't made that bet back then."

"That's right, as soon as Xiaoxuan left, Huxin Xiaozhu suddenly became deserted."

"I'm still learning self-defense from Sister Xiaoxuan."

When the sisters from the clan saw Yang Xuan coming back, they immediately surrounded her.

Just when everyone was happy, a somewhat out-of-group voice sounded: "Sister Xuan is back, why don't you tell me in advance, we sisters can also make preparations and celebrate."

Yang Xuan turned her head to look over, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she still said without changing her face: "We are close, and we come back often. You are welcome as a family, so I won't bother Sister Lian."

The woman who speaks yin and yang is called Yang Cailian, the daughter of Yang Zhengxin, the head of the second room. Because she is jealous of herself, she often targets her intentionally or unintentionally.

Before Yang Xuan came back, Yang Cailian was the most beautiful woman in the clan, and she was also loved by the clan.
But as soon as Yang Xuan came back, the number one beauty became Yang Xuan. Whether it was the elders or the sisters in the clan, they all liked to hang around Yang Xuan, and Yang Cailian was very dissatisfied.

Yang Cailian looked at Yang Xuan, rolled her eyes, and said exaggeratedly: "Xiaoxuan, you are the eldest lady of our Yang family, even if you are going to be a guard, Lu can't wrong you, look at you His complexion is so bad, it must be that the surname Lu is too mean, your future brother-in-law gave me a lot of pearls, this one is for you, grind it into powder and apply it, it will work very well."

While speaking, Yang Cailian took out a finger-sized, round and lustrous pearl from her sleeve and handed it over to give to Yang Xuan.

This move immediately caused a group of little sisters to scream with envy:
"Wow, such a big pearl costs at least 30 taels of silver. It's a pity to grind it into powder."

"Sister Cailian is lucky. She is engaged to the Zhang family in Fuqing. I heard that Mr. Zhang is a great talent in Fuqing. Even the teacher said that he is very hopeful to be elected."

"If Mr. Zhang won the election, wouldn't Sister Cailian be the wife of an official? I'm really envious."

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is a good-looking person, but I didn't expect him to treat Sister Cailian so well."

Little sisters, you said something to me, and Yang Cailian on the side heard it, she was calm on the surface, but she was happy in her heart.

Yang Cailian said with a smile on her face: "Sisters, don't worry, where do I have a few pearls? Although the quality is not as good as this one, they are still high-quality pearls. I will share them with the sisters soon. Everyone has a share."

A group of little sisters immediately cheered when they heard that they were also involved, and kept saying good things about Yang Cailian.

Yang Cailian glanced at Yang Xuan, her heart was as sweet as eating honey,

He always lost to Yang Xuan in the past, but this time he finally got back a round.

How could Yang Xuan fail to see Yang Cailian's careful thinking, instead of picking up the pearl, she was a little "panic" and took out the exquisitely designed and gorgeously decorated mirror from her body, and took a photo on the spot: "Is your face really ugly?" ?Let me consider."

As soon as the mirror came out, the eyes of all the little sisters at the scene were straightened, and everyone's enthusiasm rose instantly:

"My God, such a beautiful mirror is still inlaid with gold."

"Sisters, look quickly, the light is so clear that even a hair can be seen clearly."

"Isn't this a diorama? No, the diorama is not so big and so clear."

"I heard people say that most of the dioramas brought by barbarian merchants and missionaries are only palm-sized, mirrors as big as sister Xuan are only available to princesses and nobles in the palace."

"Maybe the nobles in the palace don't have such a good mirror"

"Miss Xiaoxuan, didn't you say that my set of jewelry looks good? Shall I change my line with you?"

"My father gave me a pair of jade bracelets, they are so beautiful, Miss Xiaoxuan, I will exchange them with you"

A group of little sisters surrounded Yang Xuan, scrambling to exchange,
Looking at the exquisite mirror in Yang Xuan's hand, Yang Cailian suddenly felt that the pearl in her hand was no longer fragrant.

Yang Xuan looked around for a while, smiled and said: "Sister Cailian scared the little girl, she saw it very clearly just now, her face is useless at all, please take it back, sister Cailian, the little girl is born Lizhi, she never uses these things, unlike Sister Cailian, she can't do without them, my brother-in-law will really give gifts in the future."

"You, you." Yang Cailian was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.
He stomped his feet violently and walked away angrily.
