Chapter 114 Another Daughter of the Marquisate
The second day after the divorce.
Lu Yuanze's request to be crowned as the Crown Prince was rejected.
And Lu Chaochao was rewarded heavily by the emperor!
Lu Yuanze was so angry that his heart ached. When he left the court, a group of officials bowed to him.
"Congratulations, my Lord. Congratulations, my Lord. Your daughter is only one year old and she has saved thousands of people by accident. His Majesty can't reward the baby, but I'm afraid the Marquis's family will be promoted. My Lord is so blessed."
As soon as my colleague finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh, look at me, I'm divorced, I'm divorced. This huge wealth does not belong to the Marquis's mansion." After saying this, he shook his head and walked away regretfully.
Lu Yuanze! !
It felt like a knife was stabbed in the chest!
A mouthful of blood blocked my heart and I could see stars in front of my eyes.
"My Lord, you are still strong despite your old age." Everyone looked at him mischievously.
This is a hint that he is about to have a stroke.
Lu Yuanze kept calming himself down.
Before he returned home, he heard the servant coming to look for him in a hurry.
"My Lord, the Minister of Rites is here and has been waiting outside the door for quite a while."
Lu Yuanze shuddered all over.
The Minister of Rites is an important official in the court!
In charge of the Ministry of Rites, from the first rank.
A powerful official that he can't even get close to!
The Minister did not attend the court today. I heard that he asked for three days off due to illness. Why did he come to the Marquis' Mansion?
"What's going on? Does the Minister have any idea why?" Lu Yuanze was excited. Could it be that an opportunity for the Marquis' Mansion had come?
The old abbot said that Jingyao is the daughter of destiny and is invaluable. Why is she being brought to the Marquis' Mansion so soon?
"No, but the Minister seems to be asking for something."
When Lu Yuanze heard this, he felt even happier.
Xu, just wait for the marquisate to soar to the sky! !
He immediately ordered people to drive the carriage and hurried back home.
Sure enough, before getting off the carriage, he saw Lord Fang standing outside the door.
This is an important official of the dynasty, the head of the Ministry of Rites! Lu Yuanze's eyes lit up.
Lu Yuanze was only a fourth-rank official now, and he hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Nephew, there is no need to be so polite. Please don't blame me for coming here in a hurry today. I really... have a request for the Marquis's Mansion." Lord Fang sighed. He is now at the age of knowing the destiny, but he never expected that there would be a day when he would need to ask for help from others.
Lu Yuanze's heart was beating wildly, but he calmed down and said, "Sir Shangshu, just speak frankly. Yuanze will definitely help you with all his strength."
Lord Fang said, "It's a bit abrupt, but my wife liked Chao Chao the last time she saw him. She wanted to invite Lord Lu's daughter to come to our house to play."
Minister Fang and his wife have been childhood sweethearts for decades.
His old wife was seriously ill, and he wanted to ask for a talisman to prolong her life.
Lu Yuanze was ecstatic: "It is her blessing to be liked by the Shangshu. Let's take her out now."
He turned around and said, "Send Jingyao out."
I could only sigh in my heart, thinking that what the old abbot said was true, Jingyao was actually very lucky.
Lu Jingyao had a smile on her face, and Pei even dressed her up specially.
As soon as he was carried out of the door, Minister Fang was stunned.
"Not her!"
"It's not this!" Minister Fang frowned and said immediately.
"Your Excellency Shangshu, this is our little daughter Lu Jingyao. The Marquis's Mansion has only one daughter, how could it not be her?" Lu Yuanze was anxious.
The little boy beside the Shangshu said, "This girl is pale and thin, with impure eyes. It's not her, it's the other one! She looks plump and blessed, loves to laugh, and, yes, the one who loves to eat chicken legs!"
Lu Yuanze? ?
"Lu...Lu Chaochao?" Lu Yuanze murmured.
"Yes, just call me Chaochao." Minister Fang smiled.
"Hurry up and bring Chao Chao out."
"I will be your Shangshu Mansion and I will owe you a favor."
The favors in the Shangshu Mansion are so important.
Lu Yuanze wanted it very much.
But...
Yesterday, he just kicked someone out of the Marquis' Mansion! !
"Old man, are you looking for Lu Chaochao? Is she Xu's daughter?"
"Xu divorced Marquis Lu yesterday, and her four children were kicked out of the house. You should go to Yulin Lane to look for them. They are there." A commoner shouted from behind.
The smile on the Shangshu's face fell.
His attitude towards Marquis Zhongyong took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Divorce?" The Minister looked at Lord Lu coldly.
Lord Lu had no words to express his grievances. He carried Lu Jingyao to the Shangshu and said, "Jingyao is smart and clever, and more likable than Chaochao. Jingyao is the same."
The Minister glanced at Lu Jingyao.
At such a young age, his eyes are full of calculations. Is Marquis Zhongyong blind?
Mistaking fish eyes for pearls?
Does he know how capable his own Chao Chao is?
The Shangshu turned around and walked away, heading straight towards Yulin Lane.
Lu Yuanze was so angry that he vomited blood. Little did he know that the real show had just begun.
Lu Chaochao is wearing the bearskin coat awarded by the emperor today.
Xu made her a hat out of bear skin, and put two little ears on her head, making her look like a little bear.
Once you go out, it's like a bear riding a big dog.
"Who? Grandpa Fang?"
Yuqin has a good memory: "You borrowed 500 taels of New Year's money from his three-year-old grandson."
The old minister only talked with Lu Yanshu in the front yard. Xu was divorced now, so it was inconvenient for them to meet alone.
"Chao Chao, do you want to go and take a look? It's Old Madam Fang who wants to see you."
Lu Chaochao remembered that Madam Fang was an old lady with golden light of merit. When she went to cheat for New Year's money, the old lady gave her a red envelope.
"Go! Go! Go."
[Mrs. Fang?] She is full of golden light of merit and is a very kind person. 】Lu Chaochao muttered to himself.
Yan Shu has curved eyebrows. The old lady lost a daughter when she was young, and has been doing charity ever since.
I only hope that one day I can benefit my lost daughter.
The vast sea of people is just a comfort to myself.
"The Minister is a serious person, don't provoke him." The Minister of Rites had a very strict family education, and the children in his family were extremely afraid of him.
Lu Chaochao nodded his head, rode the dog out of the house.
When Lord Fang saw her like that, his eyelids twitched.
Is it this little guy who drew the longevity talisman? Just...slightly higher than a brush, right?
"Grandpa Shangshu..." The little guy was very sweet-mouthed and grinned when he saw the Shangshu. The serious old man could only curl the corners of his mouth and smile kindly.
Try to be nice, but not nice.
“Grandpa, give me a hug…” The old man was surprised. This guy was not afraid of him?
Then he carried her into the carriage.
"Your dog?"
"Run a little faster." Lu Chaochao glanced at Gou Zi, and Gou Zi followed behind the carriage.
Seeing that she was only a year old, Minister Fang doubted whether the talisman was really drawn by her: "Chao Chao, where did you get the talisman?"
"Grandpa Fang, can I ask for another longevity talisman?" Shangshu Fang, with white hair, asked in a low voice.
"Please send a few paintings." Chao Chao patted himself.
Lu Chaochao looked at Grandpa Fang and shook her head.
"Grandpa still has 18 years to live, there's no need to..."
But Lord Fang suddenly covered her mouth.
Lord Fang is very worried.
Eighteen years? Can she also calculate other people's lifespans? ? ?
"Little girl, don't show your lifespan to others in the future." If someone with ulterior motives found out, Xu might not be able to save Chao Chao.
Lu Chaochao bared his gums: "Grandpa doesn't seem like a bad person."
Lord Fang chuckled, this little guy really believes in himself.
I felt happy again.
"Grandpa is not asking for a longevity charm for himself, but for his wife. If it can help him live a few more years, the Fang family is willing to pay any price." The Minister carried her out of the carriage.
"But, a dying person cannot extend his lifespan."
