With the strong support of Lu's father, Mingyue started to do the whole thing.
These days, she was either in the shop, studying the design drawings of Jishan Hall with the craftsmen, or working as a supervisor in the mountains, asking various questions from time to time, or wandering around various slums with Luwu and Jianpu, asking if there were any families that could not afford to raise children.
The whole person is busy like a top.
Then Zhang Cuixiu suddenly discovered that every time she went to Lu Mingyue to deliver letters recently, she came back empty-handed and only received a reply from the servant saying that the young lady was not at home.
But when Zhang Cuixiu asked about Lu Mingyue's whereabouts, the servant opened his mouth and knew nothing about it.
Zhang Cuixiu felt very uneasy about this, and always felt that things were out of her control.
After Liu Shumin found out about this, he rarely got angry with Zhang Cuixiu and turned his face black.
He felt that she couldn't even do such a small task as delivering a letter, and was not helping him wholeheartedly.
After all, in Liu Shumin's eyes, Lu Mingyue was just an ignorant rich girl. How could she disappear all day long? It was clearly just an excuse made by Zhang Cuixiu.
Zhang Cuixiu felt aggrieved, but when she thought about the fact that the three sisters-in-law of the Liu family were all looking for a wife for Brother Min recently, she suppressed all her grievances.
So when Mingyue was about to go out again that day, she heard the sweet voice of "Ayue" for the first time in a long time.
It was just dawn at this time. Mingyue found a few strong servants to follow her and was planning to set out early to visit a few children in a poor village under Lin'an County.
However, with Zhang Cuixiu's visit, Mingyue thought for a moment and asked Luwu to send the servants away first.
"Cui Xiu, why are you here?" Mingyue turned around and went back to the house and sat down at the table. She poured herself a cup of tea and asked casually.
Mingyue's question aroused all the grievances and anger in Zhang Cuixiu's heart recently.
But in Zhang Cuixiu's heart, all the suffering and grievances she suffered were caused by Lu Mingyue.
If Lu Mingyue hadn't been seen all day, how could she have failed to deliver the letter, and how could she have been blamed by Brother Min
Thinking about how she had come to Lu's house every day and always came back empty-handed these days, she felt so angry that she had no place to vent it.
Now I finally found the opportunity.
As soon as Zhang Cuixiu entered the room, she found a place to sit down, then stared at him angrily and asked, "Ayue, what have you been doing recently? Why are you not here every time I come to see you? Do you still regard me as a good sister? Do you know that because of you, I have been misunderstood by Min... I have been misunderstood by Mr. Liu?"
Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Look at this attitude. It's really a bad habit that has been spoiled.
In fact, after Mingyue came back these few days, the servant did tell her that Zhang Cuixiu had come, but she was already very tired and too lazy to play house games with Zhang Cuixiu, so she naturally ignored it.
However, for the sake of safety and just in case, Mingyue arranged people to keep a close eye on Lu's father, the black mole, and the areas around Liu Shumin and Zhang Cuixiu.
Money makes the world go round, Mingyue really doesn't need this little money now.
So Mingyue naturally knew how lively the Liu family was right now, with four girls competing for one boy and all trying to drive up the price of pigs.
Tsk tsk tsk, Zhang Cuixiu must be scared to death, right
But taking it out on her is a bit inappropriate, isn't it
Mingyue threw the teacup in her hand heavily onto the table, looking unhappy: "What do you mean by this? Do I have to report to you where I'm going? Besides, Mr. Liu misunderstood you, that's your business with him, why are you angry with me?" The crisp sound of ceramic collision made Zhang Cuixiu's neck shrink, and she remembered that she was not here to be angry with Mingyue.
"Ayue, I didn't mean that," Zhang Cuixiu softened her tone and reached out to pull Mingyue's arm: "I'm just, just worried about you. We can't see you every day, and Master Liu and I are very worried about you."
Mingyue sneered and brushed her hand away: "I'm not a three-year-old child. Besides, I have maids and servants by my side. Why do you need to worry about me?"
Zhang Cuixiu clenched her fingers in her sleeves, feeling that the bright moon was becoming more and more aggressive.
But she forced a smile on her face: "Ayue, I was wrong, I just spoke too quickly, don't be angry."
At this point, she pulled out a letter from her sleeve and said, "Actually, I came here today to deliver a letter to Master Liu."
Thinking of the letter, Mingyue remembered that the original owner still had some letters with Liu Shumin, and it was time to find someone to get the letters back.
Before that, perhaps she could make the Liu and Zhang families bleed again, as a reward for provoking her.
Mingyue took the letter and opened it casually. A quick glance revealed some clichéd love words, which were extremely boring and could only fool the original owner, a wealthy lady who never left the house.
Mingyue put the letter aside, facing Zhang Cuixiu's expectant eyes, and smiled suddenly, "Speaking of which, you came at the right time. I happened to like a piece of dark blue butterfly pattern brocade when I went out yesterday, but I was in a hurry to go back home and didn't buy it. I was thinking of getting up early today to buy it, but now that you are here, I remember it. Isn't this a good way to test Mr. Liu?"
Zhang Cuixiu, who had originally hoped that she would be moved by Brother Min, now had a completely frozen face.
It's obvious that that Huanhua brocade is not cheap stuff!
Although she sold all her jewelry some time ago and got fourteen taels of silver, who would be willing to give up the silver on hand
Zhang Cuixiu pursed her lips and said, "This is not good, Ah Yue, you know Mr. Liu's family background, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for Mr. Liu?"
Mingyue raised her chin and said with a proud look, "It is precisely because I know his family background that this is a test! If it was a man with a family background similar to mine, I would not send him away with just a piece of cloth. This is still a bargain for him."
Zhang Cuixiu clenched her sleeves tighter and tighter, her nails digging into her flesh.
God is really blind. Some people already have a good family background, but they have no sympathy for others.
How could someone as cold-blooded and ruthless as Lu Mingyue have such a good life
If she had Lu Mingyue's life experience, she would definitely be very good to Brother Min and would not let Brother Min suffer at all. After all, Brother Min was already so pitiful.
Zhang Cuixiu's mind was in a mess, and even the expression on her face was strange.
Mingyue remained silent, just supported her chin and watched her changing face, feeling a little more relaxed.
It turns out that it is better to hurt others than to make things difficult for yourself.
A soft-hearted person will have a hard life, while a cruel person will lead a smooth life.
After a long while, Zhang Cuixiu finally woke up from her fantasy that she was Lu Mingyue.
Looking at Mingyue who had been staring at her, Zhang Cuixiu looked away with a guilty conscience and finally spoke: "Ayue, how much silver does that brocade cost? Tell me so that I can go back and tell Mr. Liu."
Mingyue raised her lips happily: "Not much, just..."
