Chapter 551 Contentment (3)
But Qi's didn't know that Lu Zhongxian had his own considerations.

Speaking of her own marriage, no matter how generous Lu Mingxuan was, she couldn't help but blush, and she whispered for a moment: "I'll ask the old lady for instructions on going tomorrow, at the end of this month and the beginning of next month, I should be able to go home."

Mrs. Qi nodded, and the mother and daughter said a few more words. A sister-in-law from the family came to ask Mrs. Qi to wipe the cards, so they had to leave first.

The next day, Lu Mingxuan really took advantage of the greeting, and asked Mrs. Lu with a blushing face when she would go home, "Whether the name is right or wrong, it's better to go home."

Mrs. Lu is naturally a thousand and ten thousand reluctant to let her granddaughter leave her, but she also knows that it is best for her to let her go back to marry, so she can only say: "Your fifth sister will leave the cabinet at the beginning of next month. You can go home after she leaves the cabinet, you don't know if we will see you again after this farewell, just kiss Xiang for a few more days if you can."

How much affection Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingxin can have, if we say that before, maybe it was barely a little bit, since Lu Mingxin came back from the family temple, at most, the two of them would just say hello when they met in Mrs. Lu's house It's just a few gossips, she knows that the reason why Mrs. Lu said this is to keep her for another month, so why is she willing to leave Mrs. Lu in her heart?
Then he agreed: "Then I will go back after the fifth sister leaves the pavilion next month, so I will have to croak the old lady for a month, you old man, please don't think I am annoying."

Mrs. Lu didn't speak, but she was thinking in her heart that she wished her granddaughter could bother her for the rest of her life, but how could that be possible?In the past, when I was young, I hoped that the children would grow up earlier, but when the children really grew up, I realized that when the children grow up, they will go their separate ways, and I am also old!

For Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingxin's marriage in June was just an adjustment in their lives, but for Lu Mingxin herself, this was the most important event in her 15 years of life. One thing, I have been busy, nervous, and looking forward to it for the past few days.

This day, Lu Mingxin was concentrating on embroidering dragon and phoenix pillowcases for herself in the room, when a little girl came in and said, "Girl, auntie is here."

"Oh, is that so, quickly ask Auntie to come in." Lu Mingxin hurriedly put down her needle and thread, and stood up.

After a while, she saw her aunt Kong came in holding a one-foot-square box. As soon as she came in, she glanced at her nanny and two maidservants, and the latter retreated out knowingly.

Aunt Kong put the box on the table and opened it, and said to Lu Mingxin: "I have saved these over the years, although they are not many, the girl will take them out tomorrow, and they will also be able to relieve urgent needs in the future, girl, take them away quickly stand up."

Lu Mingxin saw that the hairpins and bracelets in the box were all her aunt's daily wear, and there were four or five hundred taels of silver and banknotes, which was not much in the eyes of others, but she knew that it was all her aunt's belongings, so she couldn't help red With eyes circled, he hurriedly said: "Auntie has worked so hard for so many years, but she has only saved so much. You should keep it for yourself. No matter how bad I am, I still have 500 taels from the public school, and my father and wife need more or less." Give me some more, it will be enough for me to live, besides... Husband is also promising, so don't worry about me, Auntie."

Aunt Kong shook her head and sighed: "If my uncle stays in the capital as an official, I naturally don't worry about the girl, and I don't have to give her these things, but my uncle will be released soon, and when you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog with a dog. I have to follow, the sky is high and the road is far away, so how can I rest assured? Of course, the more money I have, the better. Although I don't understand anything, I also know the saying "money can make ghosts grind". , the public will prepare a dowry of 5000 taels for you, but for the 5000 taels you need to buy land, furniture, quilts, quilt covers and various decorations. How much cash will you have in the end? Don’t refuse, Just accept it, I don’t leave the gate every day, I just want to make the money nowhere to go, and it’s useless to keep it by my side, why don’t you take it, you can always prepare for emergencies .”

After Zhao Yanjie refused to enter the Hanlin Academy, he took up the post of magistrate of Anyuan County under the jurisdiction of his hometown, Yuezhou. , and waited until the end of July to take up the post with his family, so Lu Mingxin's wedding date was set in June.

Lu Mingxin saw that although his aunt could still see the beauty and slimness of her youth, her father was the one who liked the new and disliked the old the most, so it got better after marrying a new wife in the past two years, but he still couldn't get into his aunt's house for one month. Once or twice in the house, I dare not imagine how my aunt will fall out of favor in another three or two years.

Originally, their second wife was the least powerful in the mansion, and her aunt was the least powerful of the powerless. If there is no money in the future to manage the maids and servants at home, it is uncertain what life will be like. How can she collect the life insurance money?
Yin choked up and said, "What can I need? Anyway, my husband will also be the parent officer of a county in the future, and I am married by his matchmaker. Can he still treat me badly? Auntie listen to me and put away the money. I am not filial if I cannot always be filial in front of my aunt in the future, if I take away my aunt's pension money, who am I to be!"

Aunt Kong still insisted on refusing to accept her, she just said: "It's true that you are married by my uncle, but don't you know what kind of life my wife is living before, the key is that a man's heart is on you, I thought at first, my uncle... ...Since he is willing to respond to you, he should have you more or less in his heart. Who knows that since he got married, he has treated you more respectfully than before. Except for the gifts that should be sent at four o'clock and eighth, everything I didn’t send it to you alone, and I didn’t say a word. He wanted to let it out a while ago, and your father repeatedly said it was wrong, and you wrote to him to persuade him, but he still insisted on his own opinion.”

"I'm really worried. At the beginning, he was willing to marry you only because of the name of the daughter of your father's family, not you. Let me put it badly. If Miss Xuan's real identity was exposed at that time Guang, maybe he was with Miss Xuan long ago, what else can you do? People are like that, what they can’t get is the best, and the old lady still refuses to see him again, let alone support him He... At that time, if he takes all his anger on you, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, what should I do... I will only have you in this life. If you have a bad life, wouldn't it be better than cutting out my heart with a knife? Do you still make me feel uncomfortable?" After speaking, she finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Regarding the so-called past between Zhao Yanjie and Lu Mingxuan, very few people in the Dingguo government knew about it, but that was because the matter had nothing to do with him. After going to the family temple, Aunt Kong was always in the mansion. Although she was just a concubine, it wasn't that she didn't have any news channels in the mansion. As time passed, she also vaguely knew about the things between Zhao Yanjie and Lu Mingxuan back then. points, so there is this saying.
