Xing Dairong pulled Cheng Yunshuo and talked non-stop. One moment he said that he wanted to increase his status to give her more jewelry, the next moment he asked Cheng Yunshuo to make her more winter clothes, and even mentioned that she had become his concubine. In terms of status, She has been wronged so much that she must be compensated materially.
Before he finished talking, Cheng Yunshuo turned around and walked out.
"Where are you going!"
"Go back to sleep."
"Please stay with me and the child more." Xing Dairong stamped his feet.
Cheng Yunshuo left Xing Dairong's place and passed Qiuxiang Courtyard when he returned to Yaoguang Pavilion. Cheng Yunshuo thought of Qiuling, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"How is Qiuling?"
"Aunt Qiu has been lifted from the ban." Qingfeng said at this time, "Your Majesty, if you have time, go and see Aunt Qiu. You can also share the good news with her."
Lu Lingjun responded to Qiu Ling's request to Cheng Yunshuo to come and sit with her more often, and then asked Qingfeng for some advice.
When the breeze is suitable, I will blow it with Cheng Yunshuo.
After Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he took a deep breath and then walked to Qiuxiang Courtyard.
He met Qiu Ling, who was embroidering knee pads in the room.
Under the candlelight, Qiuling embroidered thick rabbit skin kneepads stitch by stitch. For a moment, Cheng Yunshuo thought of the past again.
Qiu Ling makes knee pads for him every year, and all the small personal items he wears are embroidered by Qiu Ling herself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Was it too much to ground Qiu Ling for half a month last time?
"Sister Qiuling..."
Cheng Yunshuo spoke.
Qiu Ling, who was in the room, heard his voice and glanced at the door. When she saw Cheng Yunshuo, her eyes were no longer as eager to please as before. She didn't even take the sewing basin in front of her, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to accompany Aunt Xing, What are you doing here?"
"Qiuling, let me take a look at you."
"I've seen it. Your Majesty, please go back."
Qiu Ling continued to hold the knee pads and refused him at first.
Cheng Yunshuo: "......"
Qiu Ling actually drove him away.
Is this still his sister Qiuling?
Watching Qiu Ling embroidering knee pads, Cheng Yunshuo found an excuse to sit down and said, "My knee pads happened to be broken. Give me a new one and it will work."
Qiu Ling raised her head and looked at him, "The prince has misunderstood. I am embroidering this for the young lady."
Cheng Yunshuo: "..."
"If you need knee pads, tell Aunt Xing, she is your favorite, and you will definitely like what she makes."
Cheng Yunshuo: "..."
This is really not his sister Qiuling.
Qiu Ling drove Cheng Yunshuo away from her.
She has understood clearly that there is no good man in the world.
She worked hard to please him with all her heart and soul, but she could never compare with a look from another woman.
He would never think of her until he was angry with other women. She didn't want such a man!
From now on, she will live for herself and please Lu Lingjun, and she will still be popular and popular!
After driving Cheng Yunshuo away, Qiu Ling continued to sew Lu Lingjun's knee pads.
The next day, Lu Lingjun received a notice from his parents-in-law.
Mrs. Qin and the old Marquis will return to the Marquis Mansion from the other courtyard in the middle of the month.
Lu Lingjun immediately got busy.
In addition to end-of-year purchases, winter purchases, personnel placement, and year-end account books, you also have to clean up the yard and complete everything for Qin.
Fortunately, the two aunts in the back house are now alive and well.
Qiu Ling ignored Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dairong. Xing Dairong took Cheng Yunshuo and begged him for things every day, but the back house was very peaceful.
She had enough time to arrange the chores in the Hou Mansion one by one. After hosting a lively promotion banquet for Cheng Yunshuo, she also took some time to deal with matters in her own store.
"Young madam, Sister Zhiran said that many people have come to ask about charcoal fires recently. Why don't we start selling them?" Xia Mei passed on the news from the grocery store to her.
"There's no rush for now, we'll start again after the twelfth lunar month."
Charcoal fires have been used, and now they cost two taels of silver per cart.
After the twelfth lunar month, the price of charcoal fire soared to five taels of silver per car.
"yes."
Lu Lingjun's house was filled with the sound of charcoal fire.
Now the Marquis Mansion has also started to have full heating. As the mistress of the house, she uses the most amount of charcoal. She has three pots of smokeless charcoal to keep the house warm.
It was rare for Lu Lingjun to experience such a comfortable winter, but he still lived a comfortable life in a wealthy family.
After Xia Mei exited, Chunhe entered the room again and said, "Young Madam, there is a letter from your mother's family."
"What's wrong?"
"Your mother said she wanted to come and visit you."
Is Mrs. Liu coming?
Last time Liu was ill, Lu Lingjun went back to take a look, but it was nothing serious. It was just a casual chat to keep in touch with her.
It hasn't even been a month yet, and she's coming over again. It seems that Mrs. Liu is still holding something in her chest, and she wants to get to know her a little bit here.
"Okay, if mother is willing to come, I will send a car to pick her up."
"yes."
In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Liu took her two aunts and several cousins to the Ningyang Marquis Mansion in a carriage.
As soon as they entered Lu Lingjun's house, everyone's eyes lit up.
The first thing I felt was the temperature inside the house. It hadn't snowed yet, and some officials with smaller families didn't have access to charcoal fires in their homes.
Even in the Lu family, only Liu and his father had a pot of charcoal fire in their room, and none of the concubines or the concubine children in the house were there.
There are three basins of full charcoal in Lu Lingjun's house, and they are smokeless charcoal!
"Sister Jun, it's so warm here."
A niece from Liu's side spoke.
Lu Lingjun knew her, her name was Liu Qingping, and her mother was the aunt who had given her makeup.
"Qingping is here too."
"Sister Jun, you are really extraordinary now!" Liu Qingping greeted Lu Lingyun with a smile on her face. She looked at her up and down. When she saw Lu Lingyun, who was wearing gold and silver, and her clothes were embroidered with gold thread, she touched her for a moment. After a while, she touched her coat and her gold pendant, "These are all expensive!"
Liu Qingping's father was just a seventh-grade Hanlin reviewer, the lowest-level clerk in the Hanlin Academy.
This kind of civil servant has no real power in the first place. He is still at the lowest level doing word correction. How can his family have any money?
Liu Qingping was wearing a silk early winter robe. Only the two lapels of the jacket were made of silk. The most expensive thing on her body was a gold-plated hairpin on her head. This outfit was not as good as Aunt Qiu in Lu Lingjun's house.
"Qingping, your sister is now the Madam of the Hou Mansion. That is of course different." Mrs. Liu said with a smile. She looked at Lu Lingjun with eyes filled with admiration and admiration, as well as well-hidden jealousy and admiration. Unwilling to do so.
Originally, what Lu Lingjun was wearing should have belonged to her own daughter, and the life of the wealthy Marquis Mansion was what Lu Hanyi should have lived.
How could Lu Lingyun live so well!
Her dizzy daughter insisted on marrying a poor boy named Li. She didn't see any potential for improvement in Li Wenxun, but she saw that her life in the Li family was getting worse every day.
She came here just because of Lu Hanyi's business!
