Chapter 642: Beware of Others

Erya obviously understood what Lu Qinniang meant, so she was happy even after being scolded.

She just likes her mother to be partial to her.

Mother is afraid that she will suffer a loss.

Although my mother is always fierce.

Lu Qiniang didn't buy anything, but picked out a set of jewelry from her collection.

——This was also given to her by Erya.

But it's already hers.

But she still asked Erya privately, "If mother gave it away, you wouldn't be angry, right?"

"Don't be angry. I originally saved it for you to give to someone else." Erya said cheerfully.

Erya bought a lot of things for Lu Qiniang.

She knew very well that she would have frequent social interactions after returning to Beijing, so she had already prepared enough respect for her mother.

"That's fine." Lu Qiniang explained, "I was reluctant to give such a good thing away, but I thought that she is your father's junior sister, and we are close. Your senior master is a very strong person, so if I want to give one, I have to give it to her. Picking an expensive and important one shows my sincerity."

She was reluctant to go out and buy it, and even if she was anxious, she couldn't find a good one.

I have to use the money I have to buy a lot of things when I return to Beijing.

"Don't worry, I'm not a kid anymore. I have to cry for a month for a new dress."

Only poor people care about trivial matters.

When you have money, you will be more open-minded.

Money is the best way to nourish people.

"Mother, please go and take care of it. If life gets tough, after you leave, have someone send some money to Master."

"Erya is becoming more and more thoughtful, better than mother. Let's do this." Lu Qin's mother said happily.

"But there's one thing," Arya snorted, "You're not allowed to bring anyone home."

"Bring people? Bring who?" Lu Qiniang didn't react for a moment.

"My father's junior sister is already fifteen or sixteen years old, and I haven't heard of any marriage talks. Please don't get carried away and help her arrange things, or even bring her back."

"How could that be?" Lu Qiniang asked, "How dare you say that someone who is fifteen or sixteen years old doesn't want to get married? How old are you? You are like a crow landing on a pig, only seeing the faults of others but not your own."

Seeing that she was not understanding, Erya couldn't help but say something bluntly: "What's the point of being called senior brothers and junior sisters? Isn't it easy for something to go wrong?"

Lu Qiniang: "...What's in your head? Your master is an upright person. Besides, your father is Tang Monk's flesh. He's a woman, so everyone should like him when they see him."

"Mom!" Erya was anxious, "We must always be on guard against others!"

"Okay, I know." Lu Qiniang said, "I know some people have bad intentions. But we can't think so of them before we even meet them. That's not good."

Fearing that Erya would be angry, she added, "Mother knows. You reminded me because you're afraid that I'll suffer. I'll remember it."

There is never a shortage of the best in this world.

However, the reason why the best is called "the best" is that it is only a minority of people.

The vast majority of people are kind, honest and simple in nature.

"You can't just generalize. Earlier, I thought, your father is in a high position of power, and I absolutely cannot let him hold you back. Be careful when you go out, and be more cautious."

This put her under a lot of pressure and she was very cautious even in her dreams.

"But then I realized it. We should be honest with each other. We may occasionally encounter bad people, but we can't assume that all of them are bad. You said that when I bought you and your elder sister, if I had thought that I wouldn't be able to raise the children well, and when I bought your father, if I had thought that he would be a burden in the future, then we wouldn't have a family."

It is true that her kindness has been betrayed, but more often than not, she has received more rewards than she expected.

"I'll go take a look." Lu Qiniang patted Erya's shoulder, "You have to trust me."

Erya nodded.

Mom is right.

Sometimes, after working in the business world for so long and seeing so much intrigue and deception, Erya would feel that her heart had unconsciously become cold and hard.

She needs a mother.

He pulled her back from the edge of worldliness time and time again, reminding her to maintain the sincerity and warmth of a human being.

"Let's remind each other," Lu Qin's mother said. "You're grown up now, and I have a lot of people to discuss things with. So I don't find being over 30 scary at all."

Every day, she feels that life is getting better and she has hope.

"Okay, go ahead." Erya urged with a smile, "Let's go out for a walk today and buy some local specialties."

"You should buy less." Lu Qiniang glared at her again, "You're adding several carriages to one place."

They have some personal connections and want to give some gifts after returning to Beijing.

But it doesn't have to be so outrageous.

"There are also people from the Duke's Mansion. They have a large family." Erya said frankly.

Lu Qiniang's eyes lit up: "What? Are you and Yun Ting...decided?"

She really didn't dare to ask too much about Erya's marriage, for fear that if she asked too much, the ancestor would change his mind.

"I guess so." Erya said, "We'll get married first, and then he'll accompany me to Guangzhou Prefecture. We'll stay there for a year or so."

Yun Ting is a person who truly practices "decentralization".

He proved his ability, won respect, and had no obsession with offspring. He felt that his achievements in this life were enough to rest on his laurels.

"Okay, okay."

Lu Qiniang finally felt relieved.

These two are together every day, and everyone knows that they are a couple, but Erya just won't admit it, which makes her feel very uneasy.

The main thing is, what if these two people break up and never talk to each other again?

Erya is such a person.

As long as she is determined, she can take care of everything that needs to be taken care of.

However, Lu Qin's mother was still a little curious as to why Erya suddenly gave in.

Can I ask this?

Erya smiled and said, "Please go quickly. My father is waiting outside anxiously. I'll tell you when you come back in the evening."

Only then did Lu Qiniang go out.

She and Xiao Yan quickly went to Feng's house.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances. It is early spring, and several old willow trees beside the courtyard wall have sprouted new buds of light yellow and tender green, swaying gently in the wind.

Xiao Yan went forward and knocked on the door, feeling a little nervous.

The door opened, and out came a tall girl wearing a half-worn but washed-out lilac-colored cloth skirt.

She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features and bright eyes. She smiled before she spoke, showing a lively spirit.

She rolled up her sleeves neatly, revealing half of her strong forearms. There seemed to be some water droplets on her hands, as if she was busy with something.

"It's Qingfeng, right?" Lu Qiniang said with a smile, "My husband, Xiao Yan, is your father's apprentice. Today, my husband and I have come to pay our respects to the master."

The girl looked excited and shouted to the inside of the house, "Dad, Dad, General Xiao and his wife are here to see you!"

Then she said crisply, "Brother, sister-in-law, come in and sit down."

This greeting, with its unabashed demeanor, instantly won Lu Qiniang's great favor.

"Who's here?" Feng Zhenting came out hurriedly.

He was nearly fifty years old, but he already had white hair on his temples. However, he was tall and straight, and it was obvious that he was a martial artist.

"Master." Xiao Yan was about to kneel down and salute.

Feng Zhenting supported him and said, "Don't dare. You are a general now."

"Even if I am the marshal, I am still your disciple. You deserve it." Lu Qiniang laughed heartily.
