Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!
Chapter 53 The Powerful
Chapter 53
"Grandmother, I think back when I was raised under your knees, I wore gold and silver, and gold could be found in the cracks of the wing room where I lived. Take a look at what house I live in now!"
"It's not that our Lu family can't produce good things. I can't figure out why my siblings treat me so poorly!"
Of course it was because the Lu family just couldn't get it out.
Ever since Hou Ye suffered a stroke and the old Hou Ye died of illness, the Lu family has only been a ostentation, and it is no longer the former Wuding Hou Mansion.
I don't know how many things in the warehouse have been sold off.
When Lu Jia was in the Lu family, it was the heyday of the Marquis Mansion, the old man was very famous, and the Marquis was also a well-known figure in the battlefield. Although Lu Zhengliu was young, he was also a leader among the Marquis' children.
When she got married, the dowry was as good as that of a prostitute.
Where is it like now.
However, it is impossible for the old lady to admit in front of her married granddaughter that the Lu family is failing.
She said expressionlessly: "After you got married, some old rules were changed in the mansion, and Yun Wan entertained you according to the rules of the mansion. She didn't target you."
Lu Jia curled her lips and said, "If you want to change the rules properly, you should let my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and I have a taste of first-class utensils."
"My brother and sister only give me a unicorn cup, not my mother-in-law, how dare I use it!"
"Her girl even let my mother-in-law bump into her on purpose, so that I would be scolded."
Yan's mother shook her head secretly beside her. My aunt really didn't know how to be considerate.
There are only a few unicorn cups left, how can there be any extra for her whole family to use?
"Old lady, the lady is here."
When the girl came in to communicate, Mrs. Lu was startled.
"Let her in."
Lin Yunwan walked in, Lu Jia had just finished speaking ill of her, she looked guilty, but she was only guilty for a while, and soon she looked arrogant again.
She has suppressed her nature for so many years in her husband's house all these years, and it's rare to go back to her mother's house. She still doesn't try her best to find someone to vent it out?
"Madam, aunt."
Lin Yunwan invited Ann.
Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would hear what she just said, so her tone was very gentle: "You're still here so late?"
Lin Yunwan was very concerned: "I heard that uncle sent a message today? I don't know what uncle said?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Your uncle said that he can spare half a day tomorrow to come over and feel the pulse of the longbow first, and then go to your mother's house to see your mother's eyes."
"Your uncle also said that after reading about the nobleman and the Lu family this time, he is going to leave Beijing to go to the mountains of Sichuan to pick medicine that grows in winter, and told us not to entertain him in the mansion, just hurry up and leave. .”
Of course, Lin Yunwan felt that this kind of hospitality was not good enough.
But capable people have their own personalities, so let's follow my uncle's request.
"Tomorrow, I will let Longbow get up early to wait, so as not to delay uncle's business."
Mrs. Lu nodded, and told her when Master Li Qi would come tomorrow, and said: "Zhengliu will personally send your uncle to Lin's house when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about it."
This means that he wants to sell Lin Yunwan well.
Lin Yunwan thanked her lightly.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Thank you for what the family said, it's an outsider." She also said: "Zhengliu still misses your natal family very much. After all, he loves the house and the black."
Lin Yunwan didn't lose her teeth, Lu Jia couldn't sit still.
Co-authored with her for a long time about what Lin Yunwan did not do well, but the old lady didn't listen to a word!Still here I can try my best to curry favor with Lin Yunwan.
"It's getting late, grandma, I'll go back and serve my mother-in-law to bed."
Lu Jia's tone was very cold.
Mrs. Lu didn't seem to hear it: "It's time to go back, let's go."
Lu Jia snorted secretly, should I go back long ago?Do you think she said bad things about Lin Yunwan?
He really treated her like an outsider.
Before leaving, she gave Lin Yunwan a rude look.
Lin Yunwan didn't care.
Mrs. Lu said: "Your elder sister has this personality. She was spoiled by us at home before. She will leave soon. Don't worry about her."
Lin Yunwan said yes.
Lu Zhengliu is here.
"grandmother."
When he came in, he didn't expect to see Lin Yunwan, he invited Ann, and looked sideways at her.
Lin Yunwan got up and said: "My son." She said to Mrs. Lu: "My wife, grandson, leave."
Mrs. Lu had something to say to Lu Zhengliu in private, but it was inconvenient for her to hear, so she didn't keep her.
As soon as Lin Yunwan left, Mother Yan went to close the door.
Mrs. Lu happily took Lu Zhengliu's hand, and said as if she had paid off all the hard work, "I managed to find out some important things from your sister—do you know which adult's confidant the old lady of the Xia family is?"
"Which one?"
Lu Zhengliu raised his eyebrows.
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "Senior Assistant Zhang Ge!"
Lu Zhengliu's eyes shined brightly, this is a person who is overweight and lifts weight lightly, and——
"I heard that Elder Zhang Ge has quite a relationship with King Huan."
Mrs. Lu seemed to have seen the day when the Lu family was proud, and she said with joy in her eyes: "Although the crown prince has been established in the court, the crown prince has no fertility after all, and is a weak and sick child."
Lu Zhengliu continued: "The emperor has never chosen a concubine since he married Empress Zhao, and there is no newcomer in the harem. Prince Huan is the only son of the empress. If there is a prince... there is no doubt that Prince Huan will succeed him."
"Well, the old lady of the Xia family is really amazing. He got on the boat of old Zhang Ge without saying a word."
There is King Huan behind him, if the Lu family can also climb up to the Zhang family, and then to King Huan...
Mrs. Lu very solemnly instructed: "While the Xia family is staying at the Lu family, you have to find a way to ask the Xia family to introduce you."
"The grandson knows."
Lu Zhengliu himself was also excited. It had been a long time since the Lu family had entered the real elite circle in the capital.
When he returned to Beijing this time, he felt a lot of gaps.
"Remember, you need noble people to support you, but you also need to support yourself. Don't let others talk. Not only the Xia family, but Mr. Zhang Ge is also a person who values the reputation of an official."
"No matter what you think about Ge Bao'er, you can't let the Xia family know."
Lu Zhengliu nodded.
It was late at night, and Lu Zhengliu returned to the Yuxing Pavilion nearby, but Lu Jia hadn't rested yet.
She wandered around outside and asked Yinzi Roujuan to inquire about some things, and only returned to the yard after inquiring enough.
"Roujuan, what do you think my 'cousin' is?"
Roujuan said: "What could it be? Didn't the servants of the Lu family tell me that the prince has gone to her place twice. The old madam doesn't let her live in the birthday hall, maybe it's because she is avoiding the two of them."
Lu Jia didn't take it seriously: "So what if we hook up? My brother just wants to take a concubine, and it's not a big deal. As for hiding it like this?"
Roujuan took it for granted: "Perhaps Mrs. Shizi is not happy."
Lu Jia sneered: "Being jealous, that's a violation of the rule of thumb. She can't help being unhappy!"
"Ma'am, what do you want?"
Lu Jia thought she was caring and said: "A lover will eventually get married. My younger brother misses my cousin so much. Of course I want to help them."
Roujuan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she couldn't persuade her anymore, she hesitated to speak.
"Grandmother, I think back when I was raised under your knees, I wore gold and silver, and gold could be found in the cracks of the wing room where I lived. Take a look at what house I live in now!"
"It's not that our Lu family can't produce good things. I can't figure out why my siblings treat me so poorly!"
