Chapter 644: Being Despised
"I'm not going." Feng Zhenting insisted, "I'll stay here. As for your junior sister... do you have someone suitable under your command? I don't care about family background, I just hope she can treat her well."
"If you don't go, Qingfeng won't go either, so what else is there to say?" Lu Qiniang said with a smile, "Don't worry, just listen to me first."
"Xiao Yan and I are very busy right now. We have a son and a daughter who are still young, and our son isn't close to us yet..."
"Abandoned mother." Xiao Yan didn't let her say this.
He didn't want to make his master worry.
But Feng Zhenting asked, "Why isn't your son close to you? You have a son? I heard you only have four daughters."
Lu Qiniang then told her everything that had happened that year.
"It's all fate, but now that it's come to this, we have to accept it." Lu Qinniang said, "But it's much better now. As children grow up, they will always understand their parents' painstaking efforts."
"And Si Ya is also very talented. Xiao Yan and I are worried about finding a suitable master to teach them. After all, they are our own children, and we are afraid of meeting an unreliable master. Do you think that you, as a master-master, are more trustworthy than anyone else?"
"We know that you and Master's wife have a deep bond. Xiao Yan and I will be buried together after a hundred years, but Master's wife is gone now, so you have to consider Qingfeng even more, right? Do we still have to keep you in the capital after a hundred years? We will naturally send you back when the time comes."
"Master, my sister is more important. If you don't leave, how can I go to the capital with peace of mind?"
"Your going to the capital is not a burden to us, but a help to us. The same goes for my sister. Whether you want to get married or seek an official position in the future, we can take care of each other if we are together."
"Xiao Yan and I just bought a few small houses. We were poor back then, so none of them were in the best locations, but they could all be lived in after some cleaning. You and your sister can live together, so it'll be convenient for you to come and go."
Living in someone else's house is not free after all.
Feng Zhenting didn't agree in the end, but Lu Qiniang could see that he was moved.
Before leaving, Lu Qiniang whispered to Qingfeng, "Please persuade Master again. After arriving in Beijing, even if Master doesn't want to rely on us, he will be able to find a better job. The capital is always better."
Luoyang is not their hometown either.
For Feng Zhenting, it was just about guarding his deceased wife.
It’s touching, but what do the dead know?
"Tell Master that Luoyang isn't too far away, and you can come back every year to visit Master's wife's grave."
"If you have anything else, come and discuss it with me." Lu Qiniang held her hand. "We are a family, so please don't be polite. Tell me if you have any difficulties or concerns. Your senior brother will always be thinking about you if I leave you in Luoyang."
Qingfeng was deeply moved and said, "No matter what the end result is, thank you sister-in-law."
She could feel that Lu Qiniang was not being polite, but sincerely wanted to take them father and daughter to Beijing.
"Don't talk about that, go back quickly."
After Lu Qiniang returned, she also told her daughters about the situation of Feng Zhenting and his daughter.
"Dad, do you think we still need my mother?" Erya said with a smile.
"I want to thank your mother very much." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"It turns out that Dad is also afraid of someone." Si Ya said.
"Let your master and aunt teach you and your brother martial arts from now on." Lu Qiniang said, "so that your third sister won't always say that you are wasting your talent."
Si Ya couldn't laugh anymore.
But her elder sister and brother-in-law were not around, so she had no one to support her.
"Your eldest sister and brother-in-law are out? Haven't they come back yet?"
"Well, they are busy with something." Erya winked at Lu Qinniang.
She finally persuaded her elder sister to go out for a walk.
Lu Qiniang nodded.
She understands.
Daya was probably born to be a worrywart.
Even on her way back to Beijing, she was busy planning the future development of the academy and making suggestions to the queen, working until very late every day.
It's time to take a good rest.
As they were talking, Daya and Jiang Xuan came back from outside and brought a lantern for Si Ya.
"Why are you back so soon?" Erya muttered, "You've only been out for half an hour."
Daya smiled and said, "I thought my parents would be home soon, so I came back together. Dad, Mom, how are you?"
Lu Qiniang told the story again.
"Mother, this arrangement is excellent. I think Master will agree to it in the end, all for the sake of our children."
"That's right. When you have children, the only way to stop worrying is to close your eyes."
In the evening, the family went to the prefect's house for a banquet.
Qingfeng secretly told Lu Qin's mother that her father's attitude had softened and he would give her definite news tomorrow.
"I told Dad that we can't let Brother delay his trip for us. He asked someone this afternoon how much the land could be sold for."
Qingfeng wants to go to the capital to seek a way out, and there is an unconcealable expectation in his eyes.
——What good is it even if you have great skills if there is no opportunity?
"My father is reluctant to sell the house, but the twenty acres of land is not here. Finding someone to farm it would be a scam, so my father should want to sell it."
"That would be great." Lu Qiniang said, "Bring some valuables, you don't need to bring a lot of things."
"Um."
At this time, the wife of the prefect had more than a dozen pots of peonies brought in, and Lu Qiniang joined everyone in praising them.
This is not the time for peonies to bloom.
This is carefully grown in a greenhouse, so it is very valuable.
The prefect's surname was He. He had one wife and several concubines, more than a dozen children, and six grandchildren. His family was very prosperous.
The third daughter of the He family is a legitimate daughter, and is quite arrogant among her concubine sisters.
She probably knew that Lu Qinniang came from a humble background and her daughters were adopted, so when she introduced Mudan to everyone, she was quite proud, as if to say, "You haven't seen her before."
Lu Qiniang felt it, but seeing that Madam He did not remind her daughter, she knew what was going on.
——Mrs. He also looked down on them deep down.
Just look down on me if you want to.
Lu Qiniang was too lazy to argue with her and just pretended not to know.
But she was worried that Erya would lose control of herself, so she looked at her and silently warned her with her eyes not to cause trouble.
Erya lazily held her chin with her hand and even yawned, showing no sign of getting up.
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, why did the firecracker dud today?
Something is wrong.
Daya was also a little surprised.
When the two sisters went out to change clothes together, Erya said, "He San is so short-sighted that if I say a word to her, she will feel like I'm teaching her a lesson and letting her take advantage of me."
When one's status is high enough to look down upon others, he will not care about the provocation of a clown. He will just feel like a monkey jumping up and down, watching a monkey show.
It is ridiculous that just because you know Yao Huang and Wei Zi, you think you are superior to others.
When the two sisters came back, the third girl was still praising the peonies in her family, saying they were unique in the world.
Lu Qiniang couldn't help herself, "I'm a rough person, I don't understand these things. Madam He, why don't we serve the food?"
