Chapter 84 Is this the point?
Lu Youping naturally agreed and said with a smile: "Go ahead, the new mansion is very big, and Dad has specially arranged an independent courtyard for you."
"Thank you, Dad." Lu Mingzhu bowed happily and quickly asked someone to take her to see the new yard.
"You all should go and take a look at your own yards. Qiao'er and Xiao'er also have their own yards." Lu Youping looked at everyone and smiled.
When Lu Qiao heard this, a blush of joy immediately appeared on her pretty face: "Thank you, Dad."
Except for Lu Mingzhu, Lu Qiao and Lu Xiao, whose new courtyards were renamed, the courtyards of others still followed the original names of the Lu Mansion.
The division of Lu Luo was arranged by the old lady, and then submitted to Lu Youping for review, so the old lady gave the best courtyard to Lu Xiang without hesitation, and the largest one to Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru. Even though Lu Mingzhu's current achievements are higher than Lu Xiang, in the old lady's mind, her good granddaughter should have the best.
The old lady liked quietness, so she chose a remote and quiet courtyard.
The servants moved things in one by one in an orderly manner.
Lu Xiang stood at the gate of the new courtyard, looking a little dazed. In the previous life, this courtyard was where Lu Mingzhu lived. Because she was also a legitimate daughter and was favored by her father, she was naturally assigned the best courtyard. At that time, although her grandmother loved her, she was not close to her because of her father's pressure and Liu became the mistress, which broke her heart. Therefore, she did not do everything herself like in this life, so she did not personally choose a courtyard for her.
Yunzha and Wuyue looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Why does the lady's expression look a little sad?
Moving to a new house and getting a promotion, shouldn't that be a happy thing?
"Miss, aren't you going in?" Ah Man saw Lu Xiang in a daze and asked directly.
Lu Xiang came back to his senses, glanced at Ah Man and said with a smile: "You want to go in, aren't you shocked by this big yard?"
Well……
Yunzha and Wuyue were stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was really big.
The yard is planted with lush peonies, standing tall and graceful. In the middle is a wisteria, which is in bloom now, emitting bursts of floral fragrance that can be smelled from a distance. When a breeze blows over, the branches and leaves sway in the wind, making the whole yard full of vitality.
Because everyone had just moved into the mansion, there were so many things to put away and pack up, so the whole mansion was busy for several days in a row, but fortunately it was busy but not chaotic.
The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and Ah Man skipped into the yard.
Hong Yin, who was busy in the courtyard, saw Ah Man's innocent face and snorted coldly: "Everyone is busy, but she is the only one who is idle. What does that mean?"
Yuxiang quickly nudged her with her elbow and said vigilantly, "Yunzhe and Wuyue didn't say anything, why are you worrying so much? Get back to work."
"I just can't accept it. Yunzhe and Wuyue are so busy, but she does nothing but eat. Why?"
Mu Jin, who was far away, heard Hong Yin's complaints and came over: "Who said Ah Man didn't work? She was the one who moved in most of the gifts and bags in our yard these days. Don't forget that she also moved the gifts for you."
Hong Yin: “…” Are they still good sisters who share the same hatred and enemy?
Mu Jin looked at Hong Yin, who looked like a puffy baby, and poked her face: "Don't complain, get to work. Although the Third Miss is kind to us, it doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper."
Hong Yin: “Oh.”
Ah Man went straight to the warm room to find Lu Xiang. She knocked on the door and entered, and saw Lu Xiang concentrating on embroidering.
"Miss, here you go."
As she spoke, she stuffed a mahogany box in her hand right under Lu Xiang's nose.
"Huh?" Lu Xiang looked up in shock and looked at Ah Man: "What is it?"
Ah Man showed an even more bewildered look than Lu Xiang and shook her head. "I don't know. I just went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and Sheng Xian suddenly jumped down from the tree and stuffed this into my hand, saying that it was from His Highness to Miss. Now that Miss has just arrived in Beijing, it must be inconvenient for them to meet, so this small gift is to congratulate Miss on her housewarming."
Lu Xiang was speechless: "You said Sheng Xian entered our house?"
Does this guy treat the Lu family as his back garden, coming and going so freely?
"Don't worry, miss. No one has discovered us." Ah Man said.
Lu Xiang: “…”
Is this the point?
I really don't know whether I should complain about the weak guards in my own mansion or praise Sheng Xian for his superb martial arts skills.
Well, with the Lu family’s current financial situation, they can’t afford to hire guards with great skills to guard the house.
"Miss, open it and see what His Highness has given you?" Ah Man asked curiously, pushing the box in her hand forward.
Lu Xiang took it and opened it, only to see a white jade hairpin lying quietly on the red silk cloth. On one end of the hairpin was carved a lying rabbit, with its eyes full of cuteness, looking lifelike.
It was plain and simple, but the moment Lu Xiang saw it, he felt something strange in his heart.
Her zodiac sign is Rabbit!
"Ah Man, I can't accept it. Please help me return it to His Highness the Eighth Prince."
Ah Man tilted her head and said, "Miss, this is a gift from His Highness to congratulate you on your new home. Would it be bad to refuse it?"
this……
Lu Xiang was speechless for a moment. With Chu Jinyan's status, if he knew that the gift he sent was returned, it would be a slap in the face. When Lu Xiang thought of his handsome face covered with ice due to anger, he could not help but shiver.
But wouldn't it be troublesome for an unmarried girl like her to accept a gift from a man?
If Lu Xiang hadn't known Chu Jinyan before, she would have suspected that this man was deliberately trying to trick her.
Unable to refuse or accept, Lu Xiang held the hairpin in his hand as if it were a hot potato. Finally, he sighed and accepted it resignedly.
Turn around and tell Wu Yue to hide and put it in the bottom of the box!
…
After half a month of busy work, the Lu Mansion was gradually getting back on track, and the old lady asked everyone to have a meal at Fuyuan Hall to celebrate.
"We just arrived in the capital and don't know anyone, so we won't have a housewarming party. We'll have a family meal today to congratulate your father on his appointment as the Minister of Works and to celebrate our move into the capital." The old lady raised her wine glass, her wrinkled face flushed, and under the candlelight, even the wrinkles looked particularly gentle.
"My mother is right. Our Lu family will only get better and better in the future." Lu Youping said with a smile on his face, and then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
The others raised their glasses.
At this time, Liu smiled and said, "I have another happy event here."
"What's the matter?" Lu Youping looked at Liu with shining eyes.
Everyone looked at Liu who was keeping the secret.
"Someone came to the palace this afternoon. Concubine Zhen ordered Mingzhu to come to the palace tomorrow to pay respect to Concubine Shu."
"Really?" Lu Youping asked in surprise.
Liu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Master, I dare not joke about such things."
