Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 409 Threatening With Death (2)
Soon Shuangxi came out with a one-foot-square box engraved with the pattern of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness. Madam Zhang quickly took it and opened it. Mrs. Lu first pointed to the set of ruby ​​heads inside and said, "This is the box I used when I was young. It has been worn, although the style is a little old, but the ruby ​​on it is very good, if you like it after you take it, you can wear it, if you don’t like it, you can take it to the silver building to have it re-printed.”

Pointing to a pair of jade heads made of old pit glass, he said: "This is also what I wore when I was young. Only the jadeite is fragile, so it's not easy to re-type it. It's still the same sentence, just wear it if you like it." Dai, if you don't like it, just keep the bottom of the box."

Lu Mingfu saw that the rubies on the head of the ruby ​​were all the size of lotus seeds, and the head of the emerald included two hairpins, a pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings, and two rings the size of fingernails, all of which were emerald green. People can't put it down, knowing that these two sets of heads are by no means comparable to those of the old Mrs. Lu, she couldn't help being grateful, and wanted to say no, but something seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say no for a long time. come out.

But she didn't expect that Mrs. Lu gave her far more than these two sets of clothes, and there was even a 1000-acre village outside the city and [-] taels of silver, which she said was for her to press the box.

Lu Mingfu couldn't hold back the tears she was holding back, and said in a choked voice, "Old lady, I, I, I..." But I've been 'I' for a long time, and 'I' can't figure out why.

Two sets of hair masks are fine, although it is extremely rare to have money and you may not be able to buy them, giving hair jewelry and the like is the custom of the elders to add makeup, and they are dead things, which can neither generate any income on weekdays, but when it comes to critical moments , It can't be a big deal.

Zhuangzi and silver bills are different. Zhuangzi has income every year, and Zhuangzi outside the capital is even more valuable. Zhuangzi with 4000 acres is worth 600 taels of silver at least, and the annual income is at least [-] taels; The silver in the box is the private property of the married daughter. At any time, the daughter's family can only be more confident with the silver. Otherwise, there is a world of difference between the status of the main wife and the concubine's room. Only the main room has a dowry. , and only the main wife dares to stand up and say: "My old lady married into your family, and I haven't even used your family's Gong bucket!" and so on.

Mrs. Lu has even considered these things for her. This is basically treating her like her own granddaughter. She is not adding makeup to her, she is clearly preparing another dowry for her. How can Lu Mingfu be called? Are you moved?
She couldn't help kneeling in front of Mrs. Lu, and cried on her knees, "Old lady, you treat Mingfu so well, even your own granddaughter is nothing more than that, Mingfu will definitely treat you well , I will never forget your kindness and virtue!"

Mrs. Lu stroked Lu Mingfu's hair one after another, and gradually she couldn't help the redness of her eyes. At first, she took Lu Mingfu into the house to raise her, but it was just to conceal people's eyes and ears so that others would not be suspicious of Lu Mingxuan. It's just to thank Lu Zhongxian for raising Lu Mingxuan well in the past few years, but after getting along with each other for so many years, even a dog has developed feelings, not to mention that Lu Mingfu is still a living person, and she is also very sensible. He has never offended her or anyone else in the house, and treated Lu Mingxuan very well?
That's why Mrs. Lu prepared this makeup for her, worth no less than 5000 taels. Even before Lu Mingli got married, she only prepared so much.

Lu Mingxuan looked at her, both young and old, were emotionally moved, and she couldn't help but shed tears, but seeing that Lu Mingfu would cry again, it would not be a problem, so she held back her tears and came forward to persuade her: "Sister, old lady Treating you so well, you should be happy, why are you still crying? Old madam, you too, the marriage of your granddaughter is a happy event, you should be happy, you don’t want to cry.”

Nanny Zhang also chimed in: "Yes, at such a happy event, both the old lady and Miss Fu should laugh, but don't cry anymore."

You talked to each other, and finally persuaded the two of them to stop crying. Mrs. Lu was afraid that Lu Mingxuan would feel a lump in her heart when she saw that she had given Lu Mingfu so many things, so she said to her: "In the future, when you get married , I will also have something for you, and I will not wrong you."

Seeing Mrs. Lu treat Lu Mingfu well, Lu Mingxuan was too happy to be happy, so why would she feel pissed, but she deliberately made Mrs. Lu happy, because she said with a smile: "Then the old lady will not be able to renege on her debts when the time comes, but I will I have my sister and Nanny Zhang as witnesses."

When the other three laughed, Mrs. Lu deliberately put on a straight face and said angrily: "It's only a matter of a few thousand silver, and it's worth my debt? Shall I make a written receipt for you?"

"There's no need for paperwork," Lu Mingxuan stuck out her tongue, "Your old man said it himself, but it's only a matter of a few thousand silver. If you renege on the debt, wouldn't you ruin your entire life of wisdom? That's not worth it, you How can such a smart and wise person do such a thing like throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds?"

Mrs. Lu spat: "You will wear a high hat with me!" After spitting, she couldn't help but laughed again, "But I'm wearing this high hat, and it doesn't feel bad."

This time it was Lu Mingxuan's turn to smile with Lu Mingfu and Zhang Nai.

Everyone laughed for a while, then Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu resigned from Mrs. Lu and went back to Kongcui Pavilion.

The rest of Mrs. Lu waited for the two sisters to leave before she sighed with Zhang Momo: "In the past few years, my house was so lively every day, and they were all married in a blink of an eye. Now only girl Xuan is left. One, so I don't like when children grow up, they all go their separate ways when they grow up, and I grow old too!"

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "You are not yet sixty, and you say you are old, what should those people who are eighty or ninety years old say? I am still prepared to serve you for another two to thirty years!"

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "In another 30 to [-] years, I might be old and confused. I don't want to live that long."

After laughing, he said seriously: "Tomorrow you will personally pick a few girls for Miss Xuan. Remember that they don't need to be too good-looking or too smart. Girl Fu is fine. Although the Yan family is a side branch of the Duke of Sheng, He is also a prosperous man, with a permanent property in his family. If Yan Shijiulang wants to take the girl next to Fu girl in the house after marriage, Fu girl's natal family will not be able to say anything, no more than Meng Qi's child, who said It's not a good sentence, it's because he had no one to rely on and defected to our family that he is here today, if he dares to have second thoughts about Miss Xuan in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"

Nanny Zhang hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Ling, when he visited you and the old man, didn't he say that he would marry Miss Xuan and never take concubines or maidservants throughout his life. He would only stay with Miss Xuan wholeheartedly. Did you swear a poisonous oath? You can rest assured."

Mrs. Lu sneered and said: "He is now in a relationship with Miss Xuan, so naturally he is not afraid to make these poisonous oaths. When Miss Xuan spends a few years with him in the future, and he has passed the initial novelty, Miss Xuan will not be afraid of it." When you are young and beautiful, just wait and see, if he still dares to say such things, I will believe him!"
