Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 419
Dan Qing pursed his lips, Fang stopped talking.

The next day, Deputy Commander Gao really came to visit, and said that now Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan's horoscopes have been combined, it is a match made in heaven, and they plan to choose an auspicious day to come to the door to formally hire, and ask Lu Zhongxian what is his intention?

Rao Lu Zhongxian had already been shocked by King Duan as a matchmaker before, and now seeing Deputy Commander Gao come to the door in person, he was still pleasantly surprised and terrified. The surprise may not be as good as when he suddenly knew the identity of King Duan. The fear was even worse than back then.

After all, although King Duan was valuable, with Lu Zhongxian's status, he was far from being able to get along with him. To put it bluntly, Lu Zhongxian didn't have the face and courage to go up to him just because he wanted to curry favor.

Deputy Commander Gao is different, he is the upper peak of Lu Zhongxian's Shangfeng. Even if the real helm of Wucheng Bing Masi is Commander Dou, it is easy for Deputy Commander Gao to promote each of his subordinates. A good relationship is absolutely beneficial and not harmful.

In particular, Deputy Commander Gao was very polite. When he met Lu Zhongxian, he called him brother and brother. Seeing that Lu Zhongxian was trembling, he told him not to be restrained, and don't call him "Master Gao" one by one. It's useless. Let him Just call yourself 'Yuanhua', and finally laughed and scolded Lu Zhongxian meaningfully: "You kid, you have such a good relationship with Prince Duan, but you keep it from your brothers, if it wasn't for Prince Duan who personally protected your daughter this time Media, I don’t know yet!”

Only then did Lu Zhongxian understand why Deputy Commander Gao treated him so affectionately today. After he entered the Wucheng Army and Horse Division under the name of someone from Dingguo's mansion, others were hindered by the name of Dingguo's mansion. It won't make things difficult for him easily, but after all, he became a monk halfway to become an official, no mountain can be trusted, and he is only a side branch of Dingguo Duke's mansion, so it is not easy to get promoted.

It's all right now, if he can rely on Deputy Commander Gao to make this hill, he won't have to fight alone in Wucheng Bingma Division anymore.

"Lord Gao is just joking. Who is the lower official? How dare he say that he has a good relationship with Prince Duan?" Lu Zhongxian said with a humble face, "It's just that the second son-in-law of the lower official spent time with Prince Duan in the south of the Yangtze River. That's why Prince Duan is willing to condescend to praise him."

Deputy Commander Gao said with a smile: "I heard that Ling Qianhu respects you as an old father-in-law very much. He has a good relationship with Prince Duan, isn't it the same as you have a good relationship with Prince Duan? The auspicious date will be determined When the appointment is made, Ling Qianhu will also come in person, so that our brother and son-in-law Weng will have a few drinks."

He has been sitting in the position of Deputy Commander for more than ten years. Gao Yan has long wanted to move his seat, but he is about the same age as Commander Fengdou. Yi's honorable family is quite respectable; unlike him, he is neither from a prominent background, nor has any relatives or friends to help him, and he can sit in the position of deputy commander all by himself. Now seeing that there is no hope of promotion, he naturally I can only find another place to go, but how can other places be so suitable without a lack of a third-rank or above?
If you can rely on the high-ranking prince, why worry about not being able to achieve what you want in the future?That's why Gao Yan treated Lu Zhongxian so politely today. It wasn't Lu Zhongxian himself, but Ling Mengqi. He had already heard that when Prince Duan was in distress in the south of the Yangtze River, he was rescued by Ling Qianhu. It is conceivable how the prince treats him, otherwise he would not condescend to be a matchmaker for him and the daughter of a mere sixth-rank official.

This is also the reason why he immediately agreed when Commander Cao asked him to help Ling Mengqi to protect the matchmaker.

As long as Ling Mengqi is willing to say a few good words for him in front of Prince Duan at that time, then he will not be in vain as a matchmaker this time!
At present, Shangfeng and his subordinates, one intends to make friends, and the other intends to win over. They are carried in a sedan chair, and after half an hour of talking with each other, they are already intimate to the point where they are almost close to being friends.

It was still Deputy Commander Gao who did not forget the business, quickly brought the topic back, and agreed with Lu Zhongxian to set the appointment date on November [-]th, that is, three days later, seeing that it was getting late, Fang resigned.

Lu Zhongxian couldn't stay, so he had to send the man outside the gate, and then turned back after seeing him saddle up and go away.

Three days later, the newly dressed Ling Mengqi came to the door to hire him in person, together with Deputy Commander Gao.

Ling Mengqi's dowry gift was the same as the Yan family's dowry gift to Lu Mingfu at the beginning, which was 36 liters, but the quality was far from comparable to the Yan family's dowry gift, except for the wine jar tea box and wedding cakes in the big red dragon and phoenix wedding box. Xiguo, silk and satin rulers, eggs and duck eggs, and various fresh fish, which are indispensable for each family’s regular supplies, packed ten loads, and not only the number of various kinds of fashionable silk, satin, cloth and gold and jade jewelry was almost more than that of the Yan family at the beginning. Double, those necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are almost all inlaid with gems, let alone Ling Mengqi's betrothal silver is a full 5000 taels of silver.

In addition, there are two lively wild geese struggling and shouting in the hands of two young servants wearing clothes with the Chinese characters "Jin Xi" printed on the red background, which attracts all the children from the same family who came to the banquet today to come and see them. , so the yard was extremely lively.

Mrs. Qi greeted the guests in the main hall, and heard the little girls coming in to announce Ling Mengqi's betrothal gift one by one. Under the envious eyes and endless compliments from all relatives and friends, she felt that she was honored, but she was also a little worried. Mingfu heard that the dowry gift from her sister's husband's family was much better than what the Yan's family gave her back then, and there would be a psychological gap, and there would be a rift with Lu Mingxuan, or there would be a knot in her heart. not good.

It's just that she really can't get away now, when the Yan family came to hire her before, she had Lu Mingxuan to help her, but today the two sisters are staying in their own courtyard and it is inconvenient for them to come out, all the guests have to be greeted and taken care of by her alone, so If he wanted to explain Lu Mingfu a few words, he could only wait until after seeing off the guests at night.

But the Qi family didn't know that after Lu Mingfu found out about Ling Mengqi's betrothal gift to her younger sister, it was too late for her to be happy for her younger sister, so how could there be a rift with her because of this, at that time she was joking with Lu Mingxuan with a smile all over her face: " Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law’s family background is so rich. You will be blessed in the future when you pass by, and there will be no elders to restrain you. Counting until my hands cramp, tsk, just thinking about it makes me envious of dead people!"

Hearing the words, Danqing hurriedly said with a smile: "Today is our girl's day of great joy, and the eldest girl is not happy to say 'dead' and 'live'."

Lu Mingfu was not angry either, and said with a smile: "I see, housekeeper Danqing. After Ming'er's younger sister passes by, she won't have to worry about having a housekeeper wife, so you can promise Danqing to the big housekeeper of your brother-in-law's house, so it's not a ready-made housekeeper. I will take care of everything with you properly."

Isn't the big housekeeper of Ling Mengqi's family a tiger? Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing because her sister was right.
