Chapter 134 Taking Qin Shaojing to Duke Xu's Mansion
Lu Lingyun came out of Qin's courtyard and went to Caitang Pavilion next door.
Qin asked her to worry about Qin Shaojing's marriage, but it was not her turn to interfere in that matter.
She just wanted her to show some attitude and treat Qin Shaojing well.
Lu Lingyun followed Qin's wishes and promised to treat her as her own sister, which made Qin satisfied.
Qin said that she would take them to visit Duke Xu's mansion in two days. Lu Lingyun understood what she meant. After leaving Qin's yard, she went to Caitang Pavilion and took Qin Shaojing out to buy some new clothes and jewelry.
"Madam, Miss, this is the most fashionable style in our shop this year. The old master in the shop can only make such a hairpin in a month. There is only one such hairpin in the whole capital."
The servant of Baodiexuan introduced it to Lu Lingyun and Qin Shaojing.
Qin Shaojing played with the hairpin and said, "The quality is too poor."
"This one, this one is made of good material! It's top quality jadeite."
"You call this good material?" Qin Shaojing sneered, "I'm afraid your store has never seen good things!"
The waiter frowned as he listened to Qin Shaojing's pompous words, "Miss, the things in our store are already among the best in Beijing."
"That's the same even in the capital." Qin Shaojing said.
Lu Lingyun looked at Qin Shaojing beside him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Sister Shao Jing, you were born in a Duke's mansion, so your jewelry and clothes must be custom-made with fine materials. The things sold outside are just novelty and fashion. Just treat them as adding a few pieces to wear for fun."
Lu Lingyun was very generous.
Qin Shaojing heard this and stopped taking Qiao. "Okay, since my sister-in-law said so, I'll keep these two for fun."
Lu Lingyun smiled faintly, "Pack these two pieces."
"yes."
After adding some jewelry to Qin Shaojing and buying some new cloth for clothes, the two returned home.
After returning, Chun He couldn't help but mutter, "Madam, that Miss Shao Jing is really hard to serve, she's so arrogant."
"She is the daughter of a Duke's mansion, so of course she has high standards."
Lu Lingyun smiled and said.
She couldn't see what Qin Shaojing was thinking.
The Duke Qin's Mansion was now in decline, and she, the eldest daughter of the Duke Qin's Mansion, had long been in name only. The more this was the case, the more she had to treat Qiao with dignity.
Only by picking here and there can one barely keep up appearances.
However, this also requires others to give her this face.
The next day, Qin took her and Qin Shaojing to Duke Xu's mansion.
Qin Shaojing was still wearing a moon-white dress. She was in mourning, so there was nothing she could do wrong.
A girl should be pretty, and she was dressed in mourning clothes. The silver-white long skirt made her skin look as white as cream, but she didn't wear any of the jewelry I bought for her yesterday.
She was still wearing the jewelry she brought back from the Duke's Mansion.
Everything is precious first.
Qin didn't say anything after seeing this, and the group went to Duke Xu's mansion.
Cui's head nanny came out to greet them personally and led them all the way to Cui's large courtyard.
"You are finally here!" Cui came forward happily when she saw Qin and the others coming.
"There's been a lot of work after the New Year, and I've finally found the time to do this." Qin smiled.
"I know." Cui said, holding Qin's hand. She looked behind Qin and said, "Ling Yun is here too."
"Hello, Auntie." Lu Lingyun bowed to Cui politely.
"I really like your daughter-in-law! You are becoming more and more like a lady of a wealthy family!"
"Who said it wasn't? I like it too!"
The two of them said to Lu Lingyun.
At this time, Qin Shaojing said, "Aunt, this is the Aunt Cui you have been talking about!"
She started talking and attracted Cui's attention.
Cui looked at her, her eyes lit up, "Oh, this is your niece, her name is Shao..."
"Aunt Cui, my name is Shao Jing."
"Yes, Shaojing!" Cui's eyes fell on Qin Shaojing. She looked Qin Shaojing up and down. "Child, it's not easy for you."
Qin Shaojing's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he said to Cui, "Aunt Cui, I'm fine."
"Mother-in-law, who is this?"
At this time, another voice interrupted.
A young woman who looked about 60% like Cui came forward. Lu Lingyun had seen her before.
That is Xiao Cui.
"Tonghua, come here, I'll introduce you." Cui smiled and called little Cui forward, "This is Shao Jing, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qin's mansion."
"Duke Qin's Mansion?" Little Cui frowned, obviously she couldn't remember which one it was.
"This is your aunt Qin's niece. She has just come to the capital. You must take her out to play in the future." Cui urged.
Qin Shaojing took the initiative to step forward and said enthusiastically, "Sister, my name is Qin Shaojing. I'm new to Beijing. Please help me with anything I don't understand."
When Xiao Cui heard this, she smiled and said, "I just happen to be in need of a companion. Let's come and play often in the future."
Qin Shaojing took the initiative to talk to Xiao Cui, and soon they were chatting together. Xiao Cui took her to visit the garden.
"Look at the two of them, they are playing together so quickly." Cui said.
"It fits perfectly." Qin smiled.
"They can talk about their own things, and we can talk about our own things." Cui glanced at Lu Lingyun and Li Niyue, "You two can go and play too."
"Yes, mother."
"Yes, auntie."
Lu Lingyun and Li Niyue left the yard. Li Niyue took her to the corridor and asked, "Lingyun, is that your mother-in-law's niece?"
"Yes, her name is Qin Shaojing."
"Why do all my nieces seem to be the same?" Li Niyue said in a low voice.
Lu Lingyun chuckled.
"Just look at her just now. When we first met, she leaned forward, hoping that no one could see her."
Lu Lingyun smiled even more, "Has your sister-in-law been giving you trouble recently?"
"How can I not? My mother-in-law gave me the key to be the head of the household. She is always displeased with me and always says that I treat her harshly." Li Niyue said.
Ever since she met Lu Lingjun, and with her help, she had solved a lot of internal affairs in the back house, Mrs. Cui has become more and more important to her.
Gradually, the power of the household was given to her.
Little Cui was always looking for trouble.
Li Niyue has now learned to respond perfunctorily but not to do anything. This way she can deal with her unruly sister-in-law.
Just at this time, Xiao Cui and Qin Shaojing met them head-on.
"Sister-in-law, you are here too, why don't we go out and have fun together!" Qin Shaojing took the initiative to speak when he saw Lu Lingyun and the others.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Cui said directly, "Dragons seek dragons, shrimps seek shrimps, I won't go swimming with Xiao Xiami."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
"Cui Tonghua, Lingjun is my mother-in-law's guest, can you please speak to her with some respect?" Li Niyue said.
"Oh!" Little Cui Shisi didn't care at all and glanced at Lu Lingyun. "I don't want to associate with a daughter-in-law who married into a minor official's family. What's wrong with that?"
"you......"
