Chapter 69: Chao Chao doesn’t care about money

 The first day of the Lunar New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Xu family invited a group of clan elders into the Marquis Mansion.

 The old lady also came out to take charge of the overall situation.

"Where is Yuanze? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year to worship ancestors. Why hasn't he returned home?" Chief Lu asked.

The Zhongyong Marquis is the most promising branch of the Lu family, and Qingxi attaches great importance to this branch who serves as an official in the capital. I make a special trip to the Hou Mansion every year.

certainly…

 Mainly beating the autumn wind.

The old house in Qingxi also built an academy specifically for children of the Lu family to study for free.

 In previous years, the Xu family had to fill the hole with their own money and dowry.

 As for this year…

Xu rolled her eyes secretly.

The old lady smiled and said: "I am out to socialize today."

  "Please be patient, clan elders, let Yuanze come back tomorrow to make amends." The old lady glanced at Mrs. Xu, her eyes showing displeasure.

 Xu took out Su Zhiqing's birthday and horoscope.

"The Marquis promised to raise Miss Su as his equal wife. Today is the time to worship the ancestors, so please record her name."

“In the future, I will be half the mistress of the Hou family and half the mother of several children.”

The old lady was stunned: "Pingqi? How come I don't know about this?"

Su Zhiqing pinched her palms, her eyes red.

The old lady's tone softened and she couldn't bear it.

 If nothing else, Su Zhiqing was extremely popular with her, and she liked it.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Mother, this is the decision of the Marquis."

"Besides, the Marquis has been guarding Yun Niang for more than ten years, and Yun Niang... can't serve the Marquis now, and she can't leave the Marquis without someone around her." Mrs. Xu looked lonely, but the old lady was relieved.

 “Since it was the Marquis’s idea, let’s record the equal wife.”

 The first day of the Lunar New Year.

 In the presence of all the elders of the clan, Su Zhiqing's birth date was written on the family tree and she became an equal wife.

 Several children all called me "little mother".

 This is the serious elder.

Lu Chaochao stood at the end with a horrified look on his face.

Watching helplessly, the old lady, together with a group of clan elders, kowtowed to her doll to pray for blessings.

 The little guy couldn't help but cover his eyes.

Lu Zhengyue looked at her suspiciously, what could the little guy do? Why do you look so guilty?

 On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Hou Mansion was bustling with activity.

In the small alley in the west of the city, Pei Jiaojiao was wiping her tears in grievance.

 The cold pot and cold stove are quite deserted.

During this period, Pei Jiaojiao was a little panicked.

Jinghuai is obviously getting more and more outstanding, but Lu Yuanze's heart seems to be no longer with him.

 Whenever she comes to the courtyard, she is always in a hurry to go back to the house with her. I always feel reluctant to part with her...

 But now…

Lu Yuanze's eyes were extremely clean, and he didn't even look at her.

 It seems like something is out of control.

“Brother Ze, what should we do with Jing Huai? His classmates who used to be close to him now despise his status as a concubine and are unwilling to make friends with him.”

“Jiaojiao has a humble status. As long as she can stay with the Marquis and serve the Marquis, Jiaojiao is content.”

"But Jinghuai can't. He has great ambitions and great talents, but now he is being criticized." Pei Jiaojiao raised her hands to wipe away her tears, a move that usually made Lu Yuanze feel distressed, and he took her into his arms.

At this moment, Lu Yuanze frowned slightly.

Pei Jiaojiao is over thirty years old, and after all, the years have worn her out a little bit.

 How can it be compared to Su Zhiqing's skin, which is as white and smooth as snow?

 He is now like a well-fed cat, unresponsive.

Pei Jiaojiao's heart sank again and again.

 Fortunately, Lu Yuanze valued Lu Jinghuai very much.

"Brother Ze, how about I go and beg Sister Yun. I can be a slave and serve the Marquis and serve her. But can you put Brother Jinghuai in her name so that Jinghuai can have a proper identity?"

“I can kowtow to her and be her footwasher. It’s okay for Jiaojiao to be wronged!”

"I just ask her to be kind to Jinghuai and her children. She can't let the blood of the Hou family flow outside." Pei Jiaojiao's posture was as low as dust, and her tears kept falling. Lu Yuanze sighed secretly: "How can you be a foot-washing maid? You have raised a pair of excellent children, and she deserves it too?"

“No one can live outside Jinghuai.”

Lu Yuanze felt a little uncomfortable. Yanshu was a paralytic, but he still occupied the position of heir apparent. How could this be possible?

 The prince's mansion cannot be left to a paralyzed man.

Zhengyue is not capable enough and Yuanxiao is too young.

Only Jinghuai.

“Yesterday, all the greeting cards sent by Jing Huai were returned. The lights were on in Jing Huai’s room all night, just for fear of feeling uncomfortable.”

“He doesn’t say anything with his mouth, but in his heart, he definitely wants to bring back Jieyuan to bring glory to you.”

Lu Yuanze felt warm in his heart.

Such an outstanding and ambitious son must not be left alone.

It's a pity that the witchcraft didn't bring down the Xu family or severely damage the Xu family last time. It's a pity.

“Don’t worry, you’ve been waiting for me for eighteen years, and I understand what you mean.”

 “I will never let you suffer in vain.”

 “The position of the prince must belong to Jinghuai.”

"And our Jingyao, she has been approved by the imperial master. She is extremely precious and the most precious treasure in the world. How can such an outstanding child be left alone? You are a great contributor to our palace." Lu Yuanze said. , which made Pei Jiaojiao smile again.

She glanced at Lu Yuanze, turned around and entered the room.

There is no one in the house at the moment.

She shyly put on the clothes designed by Jing Yao.

Jingyao has such a big brain, not only can he help his brother compose poems, but he can also make clothes.

This clothes…

Pei Jiaojiao's face turned red at just one glance.

 A thin belt can only cover the shame, but it can also outline the body shape very well.

 Hands and feet, with desires that are not revealed.

She was hesitant at first, but now she put it on without hesitation.

As soon as Lu Yuanze turned around, he was so taken away that he lost his mind and even fell into a trance for a moment.

This scene has a huge impact.

 The room is full of spring light and full of spring spirit.

At this moment, Tingfeng Garden.

Lu Chaochao had a stern face and looked at his second brother seriously.

Her little face was hesitant to speak. She opened her mouth several times and then said slowly: "Erguo... you drank too much this morning." The little guy asked the second brother expectantly.

 “Head, does it still hurt?” The little guy looked concerned.

Lu Zhengyue felt a little warm in his heart and touched Chaochao's head: "Second brother, the pain is gone."

Chao Chao looked at him eagerly: "Wake up, wine soup, does it taste good?" His voice was thin and childish.

Lu Zhengyue was stunned.

ah.

 Suddenly I remembered that I had a few too many drinks with my boss this morning.

I had to go out temporarily for something, and I didn’t have any loose money in my pocket, so I borrowed money from Chao Chao Chao to buy sobering soup.

Lu Zhengyue hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his pocket: "Thank you very much to Chaochao for borrowing money to buy sobering soup this morning. I almost forgot." He handed the silver to Chaochao.

Chao Chao shook his head, glanced at the silver, and refused to take it.

 “Er-guoguo!”

"Chaochao, no, he cares about six taels of silver!" After the little milkman finished speaking, he nodded his head heavily.

 Lu Zhengyue…

 Silently took out another one or two.

 The little man opposite quickly reached out and put the six taels of silver back into his pocket.

He waved his hands solemnly: "As a family, we don't care about money!"

 Silver, hold it tightly.

     Why is my second brother such an old man? 】

  【Even the children's red envelopes have to be borrowed, borrow six taels, return five taels! snort! Don't look bad! 】

 Lu Zhengyue: Did you agree that you don’t care about money? ! !
