Zhou Shizhi suppressed a smile and said: "I don't even know if they are round or flat, how can I know if they look good or not? It's just that someone else sent them with good intentions. Now it's inconvenient for me to refuse at this time, so I have to accept them and set aside a yard." Lock it up and keep it. It would be great if we get married, I have an excuse if I don’t accept it, even if I accept it, your handling is much better than mine.”
"Then let's talk about it first. If I want to deal with it, I will either rush it or sell it, so as not to save and waste food, you can't blame me!" Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed.
"Naturally!" Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "That's settled, I will propose marriage when I come back."
Lu Xiaoshu didn't refuse this time, but just looked up at him.
After a few days, Miao Cuilan and Lu Xiaoxue finally arrived in the capital. Lu Zhong sent someone to wait on the pier, and they finally arrived. Lu Qi didn't come, and remained in the county government office as a head arrester.
The memory in the capital is not good, and it happened that there was a merchant ship returning. Miao Chuhe bid farewell to his sister, niece and went back without even entering the city.
The carriage entered the city and arrived at the new house. Lu Zhong had already brought Butler Ouyang and the servants in the mansion to wait.
When husband and wife, father and daughter meet each other, there must be some farewell talk.
Enter the house at once.
Miao Cuilan couldn't help sighing when she saw this huge brand new mansion.
Lu Zhong led their mother and daughter to the main room of the main courtyard, and said with a smile, "Are you tired all the way? Chuhe is too, why did you just leave, even if you came to recognize the door!"
Miao Cuilan sighed softly, and said: "I didn't say that too, but on the one hand, he was thinking about Yu'er and the child, and on the other hand, he said that he really didn't want to step into this city again. If it wasn't for sending our mother and daughter He hasn't come yet! I don't want to make it difficult for him, so I have to let him go!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong sighed unconsciously, nodded and said, "It's really hard for him!"
Seeing that Miao Cuilan mentioned that his brother seemed to think of Maple Leaf Village again, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Isn't this mansion well cleaned up? Hehe, Xiao Shu helped clean it up! From now on, it will be lively, let's You can count on seeing this girl again!"
"Really!" Miao Cuilan's eyes lit up, she felt happy, and seeing the strange environment and layout around her seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye, she said with a smile: "It's my daughter after all, don't tell me, this layout It really suits my heart!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help gritting her teeth, and said, "But what does this girl mean? Why doesn't she even show her face when we're here? Did you tell her we're coming today!"
Xiaoxue couldn't help looking at her father when she heard this, and said with a smile: "That's right, I don't know how many words my mother has chanted about her along the way! The closer I got to the capital, the more I chanted! My ears are so numb! "
Everyone laughed.
Lu Zhongzhi smiled and shook his head and said: "That girl actually told you to tell her as soon as you come, but I thought, she is not only our daughter now, but also the daughter of Changping Marquis Lu's family! I didn't ask anyone to tell her, or it would be better for us to visit together tomorrow! It's not bad for half a day and a night, what do you think?"
Miao Cuilan immediately opened her eyes wide when she heard this, and asked, "Could it be that Xiaoshu's parents have problems with us? They don't even think about it, but we raised Xiaoshu! Dear dear! They care about it now, why did they abandon her back then!"
"You misunderstood!" Lu Zhong hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Changping are also hard-working people. I will tell you about the situation back then when I have time. Besides, this is not what they mean, it is my own idea. We have to do it for others Parents should consider it according to their mood, and we will see each other frequently in the future!"
Miao Cuilan could only reluctantly nodded and nodded: "Okay! Let's go tomorrow! This girl is my daughter. If they dare to stop me from seeing her, don't blame me for doing anything! Carefully I will yell at her all over the capital!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! They are not such people!" Lu Zhong couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and Lu Xiaoxue persuaded with a smile.
When the servant girl brought tea, Lu Zhong smiled and said, "By the way, now the housekeeper Ouyang is in charge of the affairs outside the mansion, and the lady in charge of the inner house is surnamed Lu. As for the rest, you two, let's make arrangements!"
As he said that, he ordered someone to tell Mrs. Lu to come, "I will meet Mrs. Lu today, and the rest of you may as well see you tomorrow or the day after. You are tired after the journey. Go back to your room to rest after washing up! You are here to serve Pingmao, Yinger, and the two maids in Xiaoxue House, Xiaoqian and Xiaoying, were selected by Xiaoshu!" He ordered several maidservants to come forward to meet them.
Miao Cuilan laughed and said, "That girl is more and more capable and careful!"
Lu Xiaoxue also smiled and said: "No, my sister is not the same now as before! You will know when you see her mother! My sister is not only careful, but also considerate!"
"I thought she was a good person a long time ago, that girl has filial piety!" Miao Cuilan sighed softly, and said with a smile: "You children all have filial piety!"
At that moment, Mrs. Lu came, and she was busy paying homage to her wife and eldest girl, and said a lot of auspicious words.
Miao Cuilan didn't pay much attention to these things. Seeing that Mrs. Lu had a good appearance, and she behaved very neatly, she seemed to be a capable and shrewd person, who was quite to her liking, so she felt very comfortable and nodded at her with a smile. Nodding, he rewarded her with the red envelope that Lu Zhong had prepared for her, and asked Lu Zhong, "Is this also chosen by Xiao Shu?"
"That's right! I don't know this, Xiao Shu helped arrange the affairs of the inner house, you can ask her if you have anything!" Lu Zhong nodded.
Miao Cuilan gave a "hmm" and was even more satisfied.
The family of three recounted the situation after the farewell, and Lu Zhong briefly talked about the affairs of the Marquis of Changping. Seeing that the mother and daughter were a little tired, he asked his servants to lead them back to the room to rest. Xiang Miao Cuilan smiled and said, "Get a good night's sleep first, if you want to eat something for dinner, just let the kitchen prepare it!"
Miao Cuilan thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't have these particularities, so you can figure it out! This capital city is your home, not mine!"
"It will be our family from now on!" Lu Zhong smiled slightly and said, "How about trying some famous dishes in the capital?"
"It's up to you!" Miao Cuilan smiled, and Nanny Ping flattered her with a smile and told her to go back to her room.
"Father, I'm going too!" Xiaoxue smiled.
Lu Zhong nodded, and said softly: "I will tell you more about your mother in the future. I am still a little worried about her temper! After all, this is the capital city, not our Maple Leaf Village. Fortunately, our family has a simple population, and we Three, it saves a lot of trouble!"
Xiaoxue smiled and said: "Don't worry, dad! As long as no one provokes the mother, the mother will not provoke others! Besides, she is not a fool!"
Lu Zhong smiled, he couldn't say anything for a while, thinking that when he turned around and told Xiao Shu, the girl would definitely understand what he meant.
The hot and cold world is especially prevalent in this capital city. Those wives and ladies who come from wealthy families and aristocratic families, which one is not arrogant in their bones
Now that I have returned to Beijing, it is inevitable for their mother and daughter to attend some occasions in the future, I am afraid that all kinds of gossip will be inevitable. He didn't want them to be wronged.
Moreover, to be more conceited, he is middle-aged, so there may be no one who is ready to match him. Of course he would not agree, but he knows his wife's temper better than anyone else! If there was a commotion, he was not afraid of being laughed at by others, but he didn't want to make a fuss in his own house!
It's just that it's not convenient for him to say these words to his wife and daughter, so he can only let Xiao Shu talk about them later.
The next morning, Miao Cuilan got up early, waiting to go to the Changping Hou Mansion together to meet her daughter.
Nurse Ping originally wanted to dress her up well. The brocade trousers with blue-gold flower borders and eighteen Hunan skirts of the same color, the eight-treasure nobile steps inlaid with heavy gemstones and the red gold hairpins inlaid with beads, and the rest Bracelets, earrings, necklaces and other jewelry are either gold and jade or inlaid beads, which are so bright that they can brighten the eyes of blind people.
But Miao Cuilan refused to wear this outfit no matter what she said, she said that she felt dizzy just looking at it, and others would get even dizzier after seeing it!
She couldn't listen to Nanny Ping's earnest words. In the end, Xiaoxue came over and said with a smile: "Mother, we are visiting at home anyway. You are the mistress of the house, so you must dress decently! Don't say anything else, you can't call the second sister's relatives." Mother, let's compare!"
Xiaoxue said the last sentence in Miao Cuilan's ear.
Miao Cuilan really listened to it as soon as she heard it, she nodded immediately, and said to Nanny Ping: "You can dress me up, but this clothes are too fancy, change to something more plain! These jewelry are too eye-catching Yes, you have to change it too!"
Nanny Ping had no choice but to choose a new set of royal blue Ning silk skirt with aquarius wishful pattern and light gray blue jade pattern pleated skirt for her. There are no more things to wear around the neck and wrists of the flower tinsel and red gold beaded lantern earrings.
Miao Cuilan took a picture in the full-length mirror, and said with a smile, "This Western full-length mirror can see clearly! That's all, it's easy to look at!"
Nanny Ping hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "This is Madam, you have a temperament, no matter how you wear it, you look good! Your skin is also white, which matches the color of this dress very well!"
Miao Cuilan smiled and said, "You have good eyesight. I really can't get tanned! All the aunts and sisters-in-law in our family say that I have good skin!"
"That means Madam is lucky, she is born to enjoy life!" Nanny Ping said with a busy smile.
"Look at what you said!" Miao Cuilan and Xiaoxue couldn't help laughing.
After tidying up for a while, Lu Zhong took their mother and daughter into the carriage and went out.
At the Changping Marquis Mansion, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't bear it any longer. In fact, she knew the news that her adoptive mother and sister had arrived in Beijing yesterday, but she didn't go directly to the door because of her mother's mood.
When the three of Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan arrived, Lu Wenxuan hurriedly brought his wife and daughter out of the gate.
When Miao Cuilan got off the carriage, she saw her daughter, who had been gone for several years, graceful and graceful, with bright eyes and white teeth, who had grown into a big girl. She couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes, and shouted: "Xiao Shu!"
