"Qing'er!" The old lady Lu's eyes almost turned red when she heard it, and she couldn't help but said with emotion: "You still have grandma in your heart, and grandma is the only one who can talk about what's on her mind now! Good boy, grandma doesn't I hurt you for nothing!"
"Grandmother, don't say that, Qing'er can't be filial in front of you now, you must be good! Qing'er hopes that you will live a few more years, just listen to Qing'er's advice, and don't do it again in the future." Got into a fight over there..." Lu Yiqing said softly again.
The old lady Lu was silent, and sighed for a while: "Hehe, even if you want to make a fuss, grandma is so old, she can't do it! Well, from now on, grandma will look forward to you!"
Old lady Lu couldn't help but feel sad. She has been competitive all her life, she thought she won the fight, but who knows that in the end, she lost the worst! When it comes to old age, the situation is so bleak.
"By the way, how are you doing in Li's Mansion? How is their family treating you? Are you okay?" Mrs. Lu cheered up and asked with a smile after changing the subject.
"Fortunately, from the old lady to the mother-in-law and the husband, everyone is good to me..." Lu Yiqing replied with a smile, thinking in her heart: If you have a better relationship with your uncle and aunt, I can be even better.
Unfortunately, it seems that this can only be hoped for now!
"That's good! That's good!" The old lady Lu was very pleased, and said with a smile: "The people I trained are really good, and they didn't embarrass my old lady! Third girl, you must be good and filial to Li. The old lady at home and your mother-in-law, serve young master Li well, and establish a good relationship with the servants in the mansion, especially the old lady Li, your mother-in-law, and your husband, so that it will be more convenient to inquire about any news in the future! You have to be nice to the middle and lower level stewards, win them over a lot, give them convenience as long as they are convenient, and it’s even better if you give them some sweets from time to time! For the chief executives and chief stewards in the house, you have to take some points besides courting them Respect, those people will follow suit! The most important thing is naturally to get pregnant with the child on the other side of the Liu family, and if you get a boy in one fell swoop, your status will be secure!"
Lu Yiqing was convinced when she heard it, and she concentrated on remembering and nodded quickly: "Grandma, what you taught is really very reasonable, and my granddaughter will remember it!"
"Well," Old Madam Lu nodded with a gratified smile, and chatted with her for a while, getting more and more enthusiastic, then ordered Madam Zhao to call the kitchen to prepare lunch, and to keep Lu Yiqing for dinner.
Lu Yiqing hurriedly laughed and said, "Grandmother, take your time and rest, you won't need this lunch! I, I have to hurry back!"
The old lady Lu was a little surprised, she tried to persuade Lu Yiqing to stay, but she didn't mention it when she saw Lu Yiqing persisted.
Lu Yiqing took the opportunity to get up and leave, and the old lady Lu held her hand in every possible way: "If you have time, don't forget me, old woman, and come back to chat with me from time to time!"
"Well, don't worry! I will come back to accompany you when I have time!" Lu Yiqing nodded.
Leaving Mingqing Garden in a hurry, Lu Yiqing looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that she doesn't want to stay with her old grandmother, it's because she has more important things to do - New Year's greetings to her uncle and aunt.
Now she can only count on them! As long as they received her today, it means that they recognized her as their own niece, then from now on in the Li family, her waist will be straighter!
Otherwise, she would always be shorter than that Liu Yan.
The servants don't say it in their mouths, but they still compare in their hearts. Especially those shrewd and capable servants that she wants to win over for her own use, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp, and which one is willing to take her casually
"Mother Cui, please lead the way. I haven't gone to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt yet!" Lu Yiqing tugged at the tiny folds at the cuff of her sleeves and said with a smile.
"Third Miss," Cui Granny said with a fake smile: "When the old slave went to report to the Elder Madam, the Elder Madam had already said that, Miss, you can just go and see the Old Madam and the Second Madam. Accompanying the Second Madam, the Second Madam is so pitiful! As for her place, there is no need to go! She is busy there! Master Hou has gone out early in the morning, so there is no need to go!"
The smile on Lu Yiqing's face froze immediately, and he forced a smile for a moment and said, "This—isn't it good? The eldest aunt is the hostess of our family. When I come back, why don't I sit in front of her and say hello? This, it doesn’t sound like it to say it! Outsiders don’t want to say that I don’t know how to be polite? Mother Cui, please help me to report it again! I sincerely greet my aunt!”
As Lu Yiqing said, she gritted her teeth and took out another red envelope and stuffed it into Granny Cui's hand.
Granny Cui couldn't help pinching the red envelope, wanting it so much in her heart, but when she thought of the second girl, her floating thoughts disappeared immediately!
"Third Miss, what are you doing!" Granny Cui pushed the red envelope back with heartache, and said with a smile, "It's not a matter of whether the old slave notified me or not, but that the eldest lady is really not free! This old slave dare not go again Said, if the eldest lady blames it, the old slave can't afford it!"
"How could it be? Auntie is the most virtuous and soft-hearted person. She will definitely meet me. If you help me, your benefits will be indispensable!" Lu Yiqing couldn't help but said again, unwilling to give up.
Granny Cui was at war between heaven and man, and finally her fear of her master got the upper hand. She shook her head like a rattle, and said flatly, "Third Miss, don't embarrass this old slave! If you have nothing else to do, old slave Let me send you out!"
Lu Yiqing was a little annoyed when she saw that she refused to help her report, she snorted slightly, and said, "That's all! Since you won't help me pass the report, I will go by myself!"
It's not like she doesn't know the road in this house! That Jingmingtang was where their second room lived back then, she could find it even with her eyes closed!
"Third Miss!" Unexpectedly, Granny Cui raised her foot and stopped Lu Yiqing who was about to go to Jingmingtang, her smile was not so friendly, "Third Miss, please don't be a slave to me, please go back."
"What are you doing?" Lu Yiqing's expression turned cold.
Mrs. Cui was not afraid of her, and said: "Third Miss, you are a smart person, what else can't you understand? The old slave advises you not to go! It is a waste of time to go! The old slave said that the lady is busy, so why don't you go?" Empty!"
Lu Yiqing was so angry that her body trembled slightly, her slender hands tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were frighteningly cold, and a sudden coldness surged all over her body, which made Granny Cui, Xiaomei and the two little maids uncontrollably frightened.
"Hehe!" Lu Yi smiled suddenly, nodded and said lightly: "Mother Cui is right, there are a lot of relatives and guests coming and going in the first month, so my aunt is naturally busy, so where is she free? I won't bother you! Let me ask you a question, is this what the eldest aunt meant, or what my second sister meant?"
Mother Cui smiled, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Aren't they all the same, what's the difference..."
Seeing Lu Yiqing stuffing a red envelope into her hand, Cui's mother hesitated a little, then held the red envelope tightly in her hand, and laughed softly: "The eldest lady is busy, this is what the second young lady ordered for the eldest lady! "
"I know!" Lu Yiqing sneered slightly: "I think so too!"
Lu Xiaoshu, only she can be so heartless and so disrespectful! The eldest aunt is determined not to do such a thing.
Lu Yiqing couldn't help the old and new grudges welling up in her heart, and secretly gritted her teeth: Lu Xiaoshu, I originally thought that we are a family after all, so I will suffer a little bit and stay with you, and everything from the past will be wiped out, and everyone will get back together again. Live your life, but you have to do it so badly! Okay, if you are the first grader, don't blame me for the fifteenth grade!
"Third Miss," Granny Cui saw that Lu Yiqing's expression became gloomy, her face sullen, her eyes staring straight ahead in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, she was afraid that something would happen to her and she would be implicated, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Old slave, send the girl out now! You should go back too! It's cold outside, it's freezing cold, how can it compare to the hot tea at home!"
"Mother Cui," Lu Yiqing said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry to go back. I still want to visit my mother and spend more time with her! It's rare for me to come back..."
Cui's mother couldn't help but secretly sighed, Xindao is her own mother and daughter after all, blood is thicker than water, and the blood relationship is constantly separated. Then he nodded and said: "That's fine, the old slave will lead you there! I'll bring you a pot of hot tea later!"
"Then it's time to work!" Lu Yiqing nodded with a smile, and went to the Buddhist hall as usual.
She felt a little regretful in her heart. If she had known this, she should have stayed at her grandmother's for lunch.
How could she return home at this time? She went back to her natal family to visit relatives, if she went back so early, wouldn't it be a joke for everyone in the family? Liu Yan has long been waiting to see her jokes and catch her weaknesses!
Lu Yiqing entered the side room of the Buddhist hall, and did not dare to approach Qin Shi for fear of provoking her to cause trouble again, so she just sat far away and lost her mind to pass the time.
Fortunately, the room is warm, so it doesn't matter if you sit for a while. As for lunch, it's okay to use a little vegetarian casually...
Lu Yiqing stayed in the Buddhist hall for another two hours before getting ready to leave.
She asked Mrs. Cui again: "Mama Cui, please help me bring these gifts to my aunt. Just say that this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it, don't be disgusted!"
Mrs. Cui just wanted to send her away as soon as possible, so she nodded and smiled after thinking about it: "Okay, it's possible! When Da Furen is free, the old slave will send her over to explain to Da Furen!"
But she made up her mind that she would not present this gift, if it would offend the second girl, she would be scolded for nothing. It would be better if she kept it a secret, and would be happy to make a fortune.
Anyway, they have no chance to confront this matter, so what are they afraid of
Thinking of this, Granny Cui couldn't help feeling hot in her heart, wishing she could send Lu Yiqing away immediately so that she could go back and open them to see what those gifts were.
