Chapter 69 Chao Chao doesn't care about money
New Year's Day.
On the first day of the New Year, Xu invited all the elders of the family into the Marquis' Mansion.
The old lady also came out to take charge of the situation.
"Where is Yuanze? Today is the first day of the lunar year for ancestor worship, why hasn't he returned home?" asked Patriarch Lu.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is the most promising branch of the Lu family. Qingxi attaches great importance to this branch that serves as an official in the capital. I would make a special trip to the Marquis' Mansion every year.
certainly……
It’s mainly about taking advantage of others.
A school was specially built in the Qingxi old house, which was exclusively for the children of the Lu family to study for free.
In previous years, Xu had paid out of her own pocket and used the dowry to fill the hole.
As for this year...
Xu rolled her eyes secretly.
The old lady smiled and said, "I'm out socializing today."
"For being rude to the elders, let Yuanze come back tomorrow to apologize." The old lady glanced at Xu, her eyes revealing displeasure.
Xu took out Su Zhiqing's birth date and time.
"The Marquis has agreed to make Miss Su his second wife. Today is the day to offer sacrifices to our ancestors, so please write down her name."
"In the future, you will be half the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and half the mother of several children."
The old lady was stunned: "Equal wife? How come I don't know about this?"
Su Zhiqing pinched her palms, her eyes red.
The old lady's tone softened, and she seemed a little reluctant.
Apart from anything else, Su Zhiqing pleased her very much and she liked her.
Xu smiled and said, "Mother, this is the decision made by the Marquis."
"Besides, the Marquis has been taking care of Yunniang for more than ten years. Yunniang...it is inconvenient for her to serve the Marquis now, but we can't leave the Marquis alone." Xu looked lonely, but the old lady was relieved.
"Since it is the Marquis's idea, then record the concubine as a concubine."
New Year's Day.
With the witness of all the elders, Su Zhiqing's birth date was written into the family tree, and she became a co-wife.
Several children called her "Little Girl".
This is a real elder.
Lu Chaochao stood at the back with a look of horror on his face.
I watched helplessly as the old lady, along with a group of clan elders, kowtowed and prayed to her rag doll.
The little guy couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Lu Zhengyue looked at her suspiciously. What bad thing was this little girl doing? Why do you look so guilty?
On the first day of the new year, the Marquis's Mansion was extremely lively.
In a small alley in the west of the city, Pei Jiaojiao was wiping her tears in grievance.
The kitchen is cold and the atmosphere is quite quiet.
Pei Jiaojiao was a little panicked during this period.
Although Jing Huai was becoming more and more outstanding, it seemed that Lu Yuanze's heart was no longer with him.
Whenever he came to the courtyard, he was always in a hurry to go back to the house with her. I always love her and can't let her go...
But now...
Lu Yuanze's eyes were extremely clear, and he didn't even look at her for a second.
It's like something is out of control.
"Brother Ze, what should Jing Huai do? The classmates who used to be close to him now despise his status as a concubine's son and are unwilling to make friends with him."
"Jiaojiao is of humble status. As long as she can stay by the side of the Marquis and serve him, she will be satisfied."
"But Jing Huai can't. He has great ambitions and talents, but now he is being criticized by others." Pei Jiaojiao raised her hand to wipe her tears, an action that usually made Lu Yuanze feel distressed and hold her in his arms.
At this moment, Lu Yuanze frowned slightly.
Pei Jiaojiao is over thirty years old and has finally shown some signs of aging due to the wear and tear of time.
How could it compare to Su Zhiqing's skin which was as white and smooth as snow?
He was now like a well-fed cat, unresponsive.
Pei Jiaojiao's heart sank again and again.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanze values Lu Jinghuai very much.
"Brother Ze, how about I go and ask Sister Yun. I can be a slave and serve the Marquis and her. But can you register Brother Jing Huai under her name so that Jing Huai has a legitimate identity?"
"I can kowtow to her and wash her feet. It doesn't matter if Jiaojiao is wronged!"
"I just hope she can treat Jing Huai well and treat their two children well. We can't let the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion be lost in the world." Pei Jiaojiao lowered her posture to the dust, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Yuanze sighed secretly: "How can you be a foot-washing maid? You raised a pair of excellent children, is she worthy of it?"
"Jing Huai, you can't live outside."
Lu Yuanze felt a little uncomfortable. Yanshu was a paralytic, but he occupied the position of the crown prince. How could this be possible?
The Marquis' Mansion cannot be handed over to a paralytic.
The government is not capable enough and the Lantern Festival is too young.
Only Jing Huai.
"Yesterday, all the visiting cards Jing Huai sent out were returned. Jing Huai kept the light on in his room all night, I'm afraid he felt uncomfortable."
"He may not say it, but in his heart, he must want to win the first prize and bring you honor."
Lu Yuanze felt warm in his heart.
Such an outstanding and ambitious son must not be left outside.
It’s a pity that the witchcraft stuff didn’t bring down the Xu family or cause serious damage to them. What a pity.
"Don't worry, you've waited for me for eighteen years, and I understand your feelings."
"I will never let you suffer in vain."
"The position of the crown prince must belong to Jing Huai."
"And our Jingyao, her fate was predicted by the national teacher to be priceless and the greatest treasure in the world. How could such an outstanding child be left outside? You, are a great contributor to our marquis' mansion." Lu Yuanze's words made Pei Jiaojiao smile again.
She glanced at Lu Yuanze and turned to go into the room.
There was no one in the house at the moment.
She shyly changed into the clothes designed by Jingyao.
I don’t know what’s up with Jingyao’s little brain. Not only can she help her brother write poems, but she can also make clothes.
This dress...
Pei Jiaojiao blushed at the sight.
A thin strap that is just enough to cover the body but can also perfectly outline the figure.
Every gesture and movement seems to reveal something.
She was originally hesitant, but now she put it on without hesitation.
As soon as Lu Yuanze turned around, he was distracted and even in a trance for a moment.
This scene was too shocking.
The room is full of spring light and vitality.
And at this moment in Tingfeng Garden.
Lu Chaochao had a tense face and looked at her second brother seriously.
Her little face seemed to be hesitant to speak, and after opening her mouth several times, she said slowly: "Erguo...you drank too much this morning." The little girl asked her second brother hesitantly.
"Head, does it still hurt?" The little guy looked concerned.
Lu Zhengyue felt a little warm in his heart and touched Chao Chao's head: "Second brother doesn't feel any pain anymore."
Chao Chao looked at him eagerly: "Xing, is the wine soup delicious?" Her voice was thin and childish.
Lu Zhengyue was stunned.
ah.
Suddenly I remembered that I had a few more drinks with the elders this morning.
I had to go out for something urgent and had no loose change in my pocket, so I borrowed money from Chao Chao Chao to buy some sobering soup.
Lu Zhengyue hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his pocket: "Thank you Chaochao for lending me money to buy sobering soup this morning. I almost forgot." He handed the silver to Chaochao.
Chao Chao shook his head, looked at the silver and refused to take it.
"Two pots of pot!"
"Chao Chao, no, I care about six taels of silver!" said the little baby, nodding his head heavily.
Lu Zhengyue...
He silently took out another one or two taels.
The little man opposite quickly reached out and put the six taels of silver back into his pocket.
He waved his hand righteously: "We are a family, we don't care, it's all about money!"
Money, hold on to it tightly.
[Why is my second brother a deadbeat?] 】
[I even have to borrow red envelopes from children. I borrow six taels and return five taels! snort! Don't have a sour face! 】
Lu Zhengyue: Didn’t you say you don’t care about money? ! ! !
