"Mom, don't hit her, it's me!" Captain Qian said hurriedly when he saw his mother.
"You're the one I'm going to beat!" Wang, the wife of Captain Qian, is also from the Hou Mansion. She was the former old lady's dowry maid, and she married the housekeeper Qian. The old lady passed away, and the Qin family dismissed all of them. Wang is one of a large number of people who lived before the old lady.
Captain Qian's wife is now a free woman. Her husband is the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, and her son is in charge of a caravan. Her life is very comfortable. She spends her days walking around the streets because her family serves the Marquis Mansion of Ningyang. , and his status is higher than the ordinary people around him.
Her only concern is her son's marriage.
"You're already in your twenties, and you're going to be thirty in two years, and you're not married yet! Are you going to make me angry to death?" Ms. Wang cursed at him.
"Mom, don't I run around all day long? Where do I have time?"
"You have to hurry up, or else please ask Madam Marquis to give you a year's vacation!"
"How can I do it? Others can't do my job."
"If others can't do it, you just want to wipe out our old Qian family!" Wang held up a broom and hit and smashed Team Qian's head.
Make him jump up and down.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside their house.
Captain Qian said hurriedly, "Mom, stop fighting, someone is coming!"
Captain Qian trotted to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a pretty and tender little girl standing at the door holding a few feet of material.
Captain Qian recognized her as the maid who had rewarded him today.
"You are with the young lady, right?"
"Yes, Captain Qian, I am Shuanghong next to the young lady." Shuanghong stood at the door, looked inside, and saw Mrs. Wang holding a broom inside, "Am I inconvenient to come?"
"Convenient and convenient, you are my savior!" Captain Qian said to her with a smile on his face, "Come in quickly, my little savior."
When Shuanghong heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned red, "I'm not going in anymore. I'm here to pass on a message."
Shuanghong handed the materials in her arms to Captain Qian, "Our young lady said that next year when you go to Jiangnan, try to find these kinds of materials and come back to resell them. They will be more fashionable next year."
"OK, no problem!"
Captain Qian agreed. After he took the ingredients, he saw Shuanghong was about to leave after finishing speaking. His wife was still waiting eagerly in the room, so he hurriedly asked Shuanghong to stop.
"wait."
Shuanghong looked at him, "Is there anything else?"
"If you have nothing to do, I'll invite you to have tea, and you can tell me what happened in the house this year."
Shuanghong: "..."
"Let's go, let's go." People who have been running caravans for a long time are also more open-minded. Captain Qian is different from other people in the family. He doesn't have so many rules. Seeing that his mother is still attacking him, he Throwing the fabric to Mrs. Wang, "Mom, I'm going out."
After saying that, he took Shuanghong out.
Shuanghong: "..."
Shuanghong returned to Lu Lingjun with a shameful face.
"Why are you back so late?"
Lu Lingjun said when she saw that Shuanghong didn't look like usual.
When Shuang Hong heard this, her face turned red, her head bowed even more, and she said in a loud voice, "Captain Qian invited me to tea."
"Um?"
It's okay to invite you to tea, but what's going on with Shuanghong's tone and expression?
"He hit you after inviting you to tea?"
"No way!"
"Then why are you face so red?" Lu Lingjun said with a smile.
"Young madam, I don't have one!" Shuang Hong's face turned even redder.
Lu Lingjun pulled her in front of him, "How old are you this year?"
"It's the end of the Chinese New Year."
"Shixi has reached his age, so he can find a wife."
"I don't, I will stay by the young lady's side!" The red on Shuanghong's face faded, and she said firmly with eyes full of determination.
Shuanghong was not born into the Lu family, but was sold into the Lu family.
Her parents were both from the lower class. Her father was a gambler and her mother was in poor health. She also had an older brother at home. She couldn't afford to eat that year, so she was sold. She was thin and small when she was sold. Many places didn't want her. She was lucky. After entering the Hou Mansion, Lu Lingjun took a fancy to her and kept her as a rough messenger girl, otherwise her life would be miserable.
Her contract of sale was also in Lu Lingyun's hands, just like Zhiran's.
"Even if you are married, you can still stay by my side." Lu Lingjun looked at her with a smile, "Just marry into our house, young lady, I will find a good match for you."
After hearing Lu Lingjun's words, Shuanghong's determined little face turned red again, "Young Madam, how could you do this!"
"That means you agreed?"
"I don't, I don't agree, I don't want it."
Lu Lingjun looked at Shuang Hong, who was getting anxious, and stopped teasing her, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. You blushed and thought you already had a sweetheart."
"Young madam, you...you are annoying." Shuanghong covered her face and stomped away.
Looking at Shuang Hong's appearance, Lu Lingjun smiled and said nothing.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Lingjun also stopped what he was doing, because the bustle of the New Year began.
Zhiran took Dongsheng back to the Hou Mansion to celebrate the New Year.
On the New Year's Day, the entire Hou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and was very lively.
Lu Lingjun gave the people in her yard a New Year reward in advance, and everyone got together, prosperous and happy.
Lu Lingjun went to Qin's courtyard to have a reunion dinner with everyone.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, she received a big red envelope from Mr. Qin and the old Marquis, and Cheng Yunshuo also received an equally big one.
Qiu Ling and Xing Dairong each received a small red envelope.
Everyone's face was beaming.
It has been almost a year since Lu Lingjun married into the Hou family. No matter what happened to this family in the past, it was much more comfortable than in her previous life.
Under her management, life will get better and better.
She had a good life here, but Lu Hanyi had a bad life there.
On New Year's Eve, Lu Hanyi went to his parents-in-law's yard with Li Wenxun to have New Year's Eve dinner with a big belly.
Sister-in-law Wei Shi led the child and her husband to sit next to Li's father and mother. Li's mother was full of praise for their family, and affectionately gave them big red envelopes and praised them.
Their two-bedroom family was cold and neglected.
Lu Hanyi only received a small red envelope, and his appearance was much worse than that of Webster's.
She was the first to attack, "My mother-in-law is too partial. Why doesn't our second room belong to your family? How come there are so many in my sister-in-law's family!"
Mother Li looked at her with a fake smile, "Your sister-in-law has the same number as you, and the rest are for brother Huan. When you give birth to a son, mother will give you as much as this. It's hard for you to keep up with the child." Let’s fight.”
Lu Hanyi cursed in his heart after hearing this, arguing with his children? ! Using the child as an excuse was just a perfunctory lie to her, but she was not in a position to argue with them, so she was sent away.
On the side, Wei Shi also laughed and tried to smooth things over, saying that she had just gotten married and received the same amount as her siblings. What she said was that Lu Hanyi was greedy and ignorant, and everyone started singing and singing to make fun of her.
Lu Hanyi couldn't refute these contradictory words and was so angry that he immediately looked at his man.
All I saw was Li Wenxun eating his food with his head down, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Lu Hanyi became even more aggrieved.
