Chapter 135: No Discrimination
"Okay, okay." Lu Lingyun pulled Li Niyue, "Everyone can do whatever they want."
Qin Shaojing on the opposite side also spoke up at this time, "Yes, just have fun."
She completely ignored what Xiao Cui had said to Lu Lingyun and dragged Xiao Cui along to continue playing. "Tonghua, you haven't taken me to visit your lotus pond yet."
Cui Tonghua walked side by side with her, saying, "Shao Jing, the gap is too big. There is nothing to talk about in the first place. Don't you think so?"
Qin Shaojing was silent for a while, then responded, "That's right."
"It should be so. Once you are affected by the poverty of a small family, you will become a small person." Mrs. Cui turned her head to look at Qin Shaojing, and the next moment she frowned and said.
"Look at you, a young lady from a duke's mansion, but everything you wear is so tacky."
"The hairpin on your head and the necklace are both from more than ten years ago! Even my great-grandmother wouldn't wear them!"
Qin Shaojing, who had a smile on his face, froze when he heard this.
Lu Lingyun and Li Niyue, who were standing still, listened to their words gradually fading away and burst out laughing.
"I'm so happy, I told Qin Shaojing to curry favor with Cui Tonghua!"
Lu Lingjun couldn't stop laughing. She hadn't expected that Xiao Cui would attack anyone of lower status than her so indiscriminately.
He didn't give Qin Shaojing any face at all.
But these were all found by Qin Shaojing himself.
She had to stick to herself and move up, putting on airs, but her family was not strong enough to do that!
"By the way, what your sister Shao Jing is wearing seems to be really old." Li Niyue's eyes rolled around, "Is the Duke Qin's Mansion really in trouble?"
Li Niyue is as smart as Xiao Cui.
Mrs. Cui doesn't care about what others think at all and says whatever she wants.
Li Niyue guessed something from Qin Shaojing's behavior just now. Duke Qin's Mansion must be in a very bad state.
Lu Lingyun shook her head slightly and lowered her voice, "My mother-in-law brought her to the capital city to find a marriage for her."
Lu Lingjun spoke tactfully, but Li Niyue understood it immediately.
This must mean that the Duke Qin’s Mansion is in trouble!
The Duke of Qin's Mansion is capable, so why would they need to rely on the Marquis' Mansion?
She thought for a moment and shook her head. "If she was an interesting person, I could introduce her to someone. But now it seems that she should just figure it out on her own."
Li Niyue's family is truly powerful, influential, and well-connected, and there are many young men of marriageable age in the family.
But she didn't like Qin Shaojing.
Just now, Xiao Cui humiliated her sister-in-law in front of her, but she remained indifferent and even rushed to curry favor with her. She didn't like such people.
After hearing what she said, Lu Lingyun didn't say anything.
Originally, she had the same idea as Li Niyue. Qin Shaojing was too goal-oriented and had a lot of ideas in her mind. She didn't dare to get involved in her big plans.
Otherwise you will definitely get embarrassed.
In the evening, Lu Lingjun returned to the Marquis' Mansion with Qin and Qin Shaojing.
Judging from Qin Shaojing's expression, it seemed that he had a good time with Cui Tonghua in the afternoon.
She also made an appointment with Cui Tonghua to go shopping and travel together in the next two days.
"Have fun and make more friends." Qin was happy to see this scene and spoke.
"Of course, don't worry, aunt."
Qin Shaojing half frowned, his eyes full of determination.
After visiting Duke Xu's mansion, Qin Shaojing became good friends with Xiao Cui and they went out for fun every day for the past two days.
Lu Lingyun also had some free time.
During this period, Cheng Yunshuo would come to her yard to sleep every night.
He did nothing but accompany Lu Lingyun to look after the three children every night.
Little Bing'an was the most well-behaved, the strongest, and plump and fair.
Little Binghao and little Suying were very weak. Binghao and Suying were the names of the dragon and phoenix twins. Both names were given by Qin and the old marquis. Although they did not like the children's biological mother, they still valued the two children very much.
The population of the Marquis' Mansion is so small, one more would be a good thing.
However, Cheng Yunshuo almost never hugged Binghao and Siying. He only hugged Bingan and played with him for a while.
Under Lu Lingyun's careful care, Binghao and Siying, who were weaker in health, grew better every day.
After spending time with the three children, I had to talk to Cheng Yunshuo for a while.
In the past two days, Lu Lingyun learned that there was another promotion in their Duwei Mansion.
"This time, the Imperial Palace is selecting a group of new soldiers for the Lin Army."
"Does the prince want to work in the palace?"
"It would be great if we could enter the palace. There is not much to do in the Duwei Mansion, and we would probably be much busier in the palace." Cheng Yunshuo said.
After hearing this, Lu Lingyun said, "If the prince has this idea, he will definitely be selected."
"I hope so." Cheng Yunshuo said.
The next day.
Lu Lingjun sent a visiting invitation to the wife of Vice-Governor of the Yulin Army for tea early in the morning.
She is now of high status, and most wives of officials with such status as the wife of a marquis or a prince are easy to invite.
The deputy commander of the Yulin Army was not a very high-ranking official, and when Lu Lingyun's visiting card was delivered, the lady opposite him was quite surprised.
That afternoon, I went out for tea as requested by Lu Lingyun.
"The Crown Prince's wife wants to see me for something?" The wife of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army was surnamed Wang, and she came in formal attire.
"Sister Wang, it's nothing. My prince heard that the Yulin Army was going to recruit a group of new people, so he wanted to work in the palace."
Lu Lingyun came straight to the point.
Cheng Yunshuo was the son of a noble family. He was qualified to join the Yulin Army. It would only take a simple request to get him such an official position.
"I thought it was something else!" Wang's brows relaxed after hearing this, and she just said, "It's a good thing that Master Cheng has such ambitions and serves the country!"
"I didn't expect he would have such an idea." Lu Lingyun said with a smile.
"Since Master Cheng has such an idea, we must certainly satisfy him," Wang agreed cheerfully.
Just at this moment, someone came into the teahouse.
"Master! Let's have some tea and take a break!"
Wang recognized the person downstairs at a glance, "Sister, is that your Master Cheng?"
When Lu Lingyun lowered her head, she saw Cheng Yunshuo and Du Ruo patrolling the streets.
Du Ruo was beside Cheng Yunshuo, talking and laughing, looking very happy.
Wang frowned and said, "It seems that there is a girl next to Master Cheng! Oh my God, isn't that girl Du Ruo?"
"Oh? Sister Wang, do you know Du Ruo?"
After Lu Lingyun asked, he heard Wang yelling to the crowd below, "Du Ruo! What are you doing dressed like this?"
Du Ruo, who was downstairs, heard the voice, looked up, and saw Wang. She was about to leave when she saw Wang, and Cheng Yunshuo beside her also saw Lu Lingjun.
"Ling Yun?"
After a while, Cheng Yunshuo took Du Ruo to the private room on the second floor.
Wang looked at Du Ruo's attire and started to scold her, "You are a girl, why are you wearing men's clothes?"
Du Ruo raised her head and said, "Auntie Wang, I was wrong. Please don't tell my aunt."
