Chapter 229
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help laughing: "I don't have any reason to disagree with such a good thing, it's just that Master Xiaochi must treat Xiaoli kindly in the future, otherwise I won't obey."

Seeing that Lu Mingxuan agreed, Master Chi was overjoyed, and was about to speak, but who knew that Master Chi had already said, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely treat Miss Xiaoli kindly, and I won't let her suffer any grievances." After finishing speaking, Only then did he suddenly realize that the elders of the two sides were discussing important matters, according to the rules, he was not allowed to intervene, and his face, which had just returned to normal color, turned red again in an instant.

Xiaoli's face, which had just returned to normal color, was instantly reddened to the point of bleeding, and she gave Master Xiaochi a shy and annoyed look, her head lowered even lower than before.

Lu Mingxuan laughed more and more happily, feeling as if seeing the happiness of the people around her made her feel happy too.

After laughing, Lu Mingxuan said seriously to Master Chi: "After I go back, I will send someone to bring Xiao Li's body deed, and she will be a good citizen from now on. Please, Master Chi, don't mind that she was a slave and must treat her kindly. , in the future, she will naturally show more filial piety to you. Then I will ask you to put on two sets of red silver heads and put them in my account, which will be regarded as my dowry for Xiaoli."

Master Chi nodded his head incessantly as he spoke, while Xiao Li was already sobbing, and knelt down at Lu Mingxuan's knees: "Young lady treats me with such kindness as a mountain. , but also to repay the girl's great kindness."

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly helped her up, and she couldn't help the red eyes: "What do I want you to do, as long as you live well with Master Xiaochi and make Jifang Pavilion flourishing, that's the best thing for me. Repaid."

After having a meal at the restaurant outside at noon, Lu Mingxuan asked Master Xiaochi to go to the back hall alone to ask, "Did Mr. Ling come to the shop to pay money these days? I heard that he has gone on a mission these days , I don’t know if I have returned to Beijing or not, you will calculate his dividends for this year later, and when he comes back, you will go to the Jinyi Guard and hand it over to him in person. Officials, there are a lot of places that need to be managed with money!"

Master Xiaochi said: "Mr. Ling hasn't paid any money in the shop since August. Not only did he never pay any money, but he made Huzi take the money he gave before, totaling 460 taels, and add it to the girl and his last year. All the dividends were sent back, and I don't know why, I was just asking the girl to show me what to do next, but Miss Qiaoer asked about it first."

Ling Mengqi even returned the money he had received from Jifang Pavilion before. Is this intended to draw a clean line from her?Lu Mingxuan didn't know what was going on in her heart for a while, but after thinking about it, she was the one who wanted to draw a clear line with him first, and it was understandable for him to do so now... She couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly, and said to Master Xiaochi, "Ling Don't be his business, son. I signed a share split contract with him long ago, but I can't treat it as nothing. You should record the money you sent him and the dividends he should have received this year. When it’s urgent or for a wedding, it’s better to give it to him.”

Speaking of 'holding a wedding', I couldn't help but shrink again, but she immediately restrained it with all my strength.

Back home in the afternoon, Lu Mingfu yelled when she saw Lu Mingxuan enter the door: "You are heartless, you only came back after shopping around this time, are you my wife and I who want to keep an eye on you? You bought something for us, get it as soon as possible." Come out, if the things you bought are still in our favor, I will spare you this time, otherwise, don't blame my wife and me for being rude!"

Lu Mingxuan had already made preparations with her and Qi's, but upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "I've thought about Madam's, but I've forgotten yours. How about I make it up for you next time I have a chance?"

Lu Mingfu rushed forward with an "Aww", and rubbed her butt like twisted candy for a long time, until she was panting and begged for mercy, saying how dare he not buy from her, Lu Mingfu's face turned pale. Satisfied, she released her: "It's not too bad!"

Then Lu Mingxuan ordered Danqing to come in, and took out the things she bought with them in Jifang Pavilion. The one for Qi was a pair of golden plum blossom hairpins inlaid with gemstones, and the one for Lu Mingfu was a pair of brushed hairpins with agate emerald emerald calla lilies However, if Master Chi's craftsmanship is not good, it is impossible for Jifang Pavilion to develop to its current scale in just over two years. The Qi family and Lu Mingfu are naturally full of praise.

The New Year's Eve dinner on the night of the New Year's Eve, the Lu family was much more lively than usual because of the addition of Brother Ang. Lu Zhongxian looked at Qi and his three children, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "The year before last, there were only three of us, father and daughter. During the Chinese New Year, there were four people last year, and this year there will be one more, so there will be five people. I hope our family will have more and more people during the Chinese New Year in the future, and it will become more and more lively!"

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu heard the news, because they were joking with Mrs. Qi: "The wife has to work harder, and we will have a few younger brothers and sisters with us." Then teased Brother An, "You have to eat well, hurry up When you grow up quickly, you can take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and have a drink with your father, and save your father from even having a drinking companion."

It made Qi blushed, and joked with the two sisters: "I don't need to work hard, isn't there a ready-made one now? The eldest son-in-law will definitely come to pay New Year's greetings in the future, and then the master will have someone to drink with Yes, and this wine accompaniment can drink as much as the master asks, and he never dares to say anything else."

This time it was Lu Mingfu's turn to blush. While blushing, she couldn't help but think that among the annual gifts from the Yan family and her own family, there were many gadgets that girls liked just by looking at them, and the housekeeper who heard the Yan family come to give gifts Said that those little gadgets were bought by Yan Jiulang himself... not only his face was hot, but his heart was also hot.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Jiulang really came to Lu's house early to pay New Year's greetings.

He was wearing a brand-new black brocade robe, he spoke and acted with restraint, and his actions were gentle and generous, which made Qi, the mother-in-law, fall in love with him more and more. He had already drawn up a rich menu in advance for the kitchen to follow. He also felt that it was not enough, because he was busy, he quietly asked someone to go outside to ask Yan Jiulang's servant what dishes his young master likes to eat, and after getting the answer, he immediately ordered the kitchen to do so without mentioning it.

Unlike the mother-in-law who looks at the son-in-law, the more interesting it is, the father-in-law generally does not like the son-in-law. It is easy to understand when you think about it. The daughter I have worked so hard to raise for more than ten years will never be the same once she gets married. People in my own family, even the surname that they originally inherited from themselves have to be named after their husband's surname, not to mention that in the future, daughters will no longer rank themselves first in everything as before, but will have to rank themselves after her husband. Clothes, shoes, socks and so on have to satisfy the husband first, how can this be called the feeling of being a father?

This is how Lu Zhongxian looked at Yan Jiulang now. At first, he thought it would be a great thing for his daughter to find such a husband, and for his family to have such a marriage, but after the matter was settled, his daughter stayed at home The days are getting shorter and shorter, and when he looks at Yan Jiulang again, he can't help but take a somewhat critical look. Although he is already a scholar, who knows when he will be able to win the Jinshi?Although he is the eldest son, who can not worry about being the eldest daughter-in-law? How can he be as comfortable as the youngest daughter-in-law?Although Yan Nineteen looks pretty good now, but who knows if he will treat his daughter well in the future, and will he change his mind?In short, it is all kinds of unpleasant.
