Chapter 175: No Conversation

The gorgeous roses inserted into the small white porcelain vase are a unique sight.

"Sister-in-law, it looks good, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, it looks good." Lu Lingyun smiled as he drank his tea. "You just said this was given to you by Princess Nanping?"

"Yes." Qin Shaojing nodded, "Tong Hua held a poetry party the other day and invited many friends. I met Princess Nanping at the party."

During this time, Qin Shaojing made many friends and deeply expanded his circle in the capital.

Moreover, they were all from the noble class, and the Princess Nanping was the most noble lady she had ever met, a royal lady.

After hearing that he had met the princess, Lu Lingyun said, "Then the things that Princess Nanping gave must be good."

"Of course, these are all things from the palace, I won't give them to others easily."

"Thank you, Shao Jing."

"Sister-in-law, as long as you like it." Qin Shaojing smiled happily, and she got to the point at this time, "Sister-in-law, I'm planning to buy some new clothes recently, but I haven't found good materials. The materials in this shop in Beijing are too bad."

Lu Lingyun heard this and said, "Shao Jing, you are only making friends with noble ladies now. The ordinary fabrics in the capital are not good. I have a few good fabrics in my room. I will give them to you later."

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law. I knew you had good stuff!"

Qin Shaojing was very satisfied with what she got. She chatted with Lu Lingyun for a few words and then left with a smile on her face.

After she left, Shuanghong and several other maids looked at the small porcelain bottle on Lu Lingyun's table, and went up to it curiously.

"Where is this golden bottle? Exchange it for some good fabric!"

"I knew that Miss Shao Jing was here to take advantage of me!"

"Watch your mouth! Is Miss Shao Jing easy to mess with? Look at the way she treated Aunt Du. Aunt Du didn't even dare to fart!"

"That's right, be careful that Miss Shao Jing will smash you to death with her little white porcelain bottle!"

The maids were all used to Lu Lingyun's outspokenness. They all knew that Lu Lingyun had a good temper and would hardly punish them for gossiping, so they just started joking.

Lu Lingyun listened to their words and coughed twice, "Just talk about it in my yard. If you go out and let others hear it, I won't protect you guys."

"Madam, help me." Chun Xing came to her and begged for mercy. She looked at the porcelain vase with flowers on the table, a little unwillingly, "Are we really going to ask Shao Jing to use these worthless things every time to replace everything in the house?"

"They didn't ask me for it, so why are you worried?" Lu Lingyun smiled faintly.

She pulled out a single book from a pile of account books nearby.

That is the separate account book of the East Court.

Since Qin Shaojing moved to the East Courtyard, the expenses of the mansion have increased a lot. Lu Lingyun made a separate account book for the East Courtyard and recorded every expense in it.

When Qin Shaojing asked her for money, it was all from the family's expenses.

If the East Courtyard's expenditure exceeds the limit, Qin will be responsible for the bill.

Qin wanted to please her niece, so she just had to be a good person to the end, but it was absolutely impossible for her to spend the money in her private treasury.

"Send a letter to the other courtyard and ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law how to arrange for Cheng Qi and his sister, and then send the account book to my mother-in-law to have a look."

"yes!"

After Lu Lingyun finished dealing with these chores, he slowly lay back down to rest.

As a mistress, you have to take care of everything yourself.

But you can't take all the responsibility on yourself.

Whoever should make the decision should make the decision, whoever should carry the burden should carry the burden. It is stupid to carry everything in big and small bags.

Apart from being unhappy about this and making that person feel unhappy, nothing can be achieved.

Leaders should be most careful about doing things personally unless it affects their core power.

She just needs to grasp the general direction and ignore the small details.

She slowly enjoyed the leisurely afternoon sunshine.

night.

Cheng Yunshuo returned home.

She first told Cheng Yunshuo about the relatives coming to the house.

Cheng Yunshuo didn't take it too seriously and asked Lu Lingyun to handle it herself. After eating in her yard and looking after the children for a while, he went to Xiaohe Courtyard.

In the small lotus courtyard.

Du Ruo waited for Cheng Yunshuo for a long time.

"Master, you are finally back."

"Um."

Du Ruo went forward and helped him undress and take off his official uniform.

"The clothes of the Yulin Army are much heavier than those of the Jinwu Guard."

"That's right. When the Yulin Army inspects the imperial palace, they all patrol in armor. How can they compare to the Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets!" Cheng Yunshuo said with contempt.

The reason why he had thought about joining the Yulin Army before was that he felt that the Jinwu Guard was increasingly boring.

A group of wealthy and wealthy young men would gather together all day long to chat, have fun, or play cards and gamble.

Few people do any real work.

There are even some vicious ones who go door to door on the streets to collect extra money from merchants during festivals.

He wanted to do something serious, but few people responded to him.

The more I do things, the more frustrated I feel.

Now that I have joined the Yulin Army, I have a lot of things to do, apart from other things. It is completely different from those Jinwu Guards.

Du Ruo was not happy to hear this. "Master, you were also a Jinwu Guard before. How can you say such a thing?"

"Ha!" Cheng Yunshuo snorted coldly, "So I won't be a member of the Jinwu Guards anymore. They are just a bunch of rotten people."

Du Ruo frowned, "But my brothers are still in the Jinwu Guard, aren't you scolding them too?"

"Then you should ask your brothers to make progress and join the Forest Guards or the City Defense Army. What's the point of just sitting around in the Commandant's Mansion all day?"

Du Ruo's brothers also live a lazy life.

Neither of them had any great ambitions, and their families were poor, so they were neither high nor low, and there was nothing wrong with them just hanging around in the Duwei Mansion.

It's not that they haven't thought about getting married, but their aunt had arranged several marriages for them, but all failed. People from families similar to theirs looked down on their poor family and lack of ambition. Those who were worse off than theirs were the merchant class, and they couldn't afford to be like them.

Anyway, no matter how poor their family is, they still have some assets, so they can get by like this, but they are too lazy to bother.

"What's wrong with my brother?" Du Ruo frowned when she heard Cheng Yunshuo say that her brother was bad, "They didn't do anything wrong!"

"I'm not saying they are bad. I'm saying they have to strive for progress. Jinwu Guard is a job with no future." Cheng Yunshuo said honestly.

His words made Du Ruo furious, "Don't forget, you used to be even less ambitious than my brother! You visited brothels and redeemed prostitutes, and everyone in the city knew about it!"

Her words startled Cheng Yunshuo, who turned around to look at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo raised his head, looking unconvinced, "Am I wrong? Aren't you a famous playboy in the capital?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the armor in her hand was snatched away by Cheng Yunshuo, who strode out of Xiaoheyuan wearing only his undershirt.

That night, he returned to his own room to rest.

The next day, everyone in the mansion knew about the conspiracy. Aunt Du, who had been favored for a long time, had an argument with the prince last night, and the prince left in anger.
