When Liu Qingping came out of Lu Lingjun's house, she had nothing to do. Even the aunts in the back yard would come to her to say goodbye.
Qiu Ling and Linglong each gave Liu Qingping a piece of jewelry as a gift and said a lot of thoughtful words and blessings.
After saying hello to the two of them, Liu Qingping returned to Lu Lingjun's yard and prepared to go back.
On the way, she was stopped again.
“Yu Qingping.”
Liu Qingping stopped and saw Du Ruo, who had just returned.
Seeing her, Liu Qingping suddenly became angry, "Humph!"
"Are you going back to get married?" Du Ruo looked at her and asked.
"Yes, I want to go back and get married and be the first wife!" Liu Qingping emphasized the pronunciation of the word "first wife" and looked up at Du Ruo.
The look of disgust must be as strong as it is.
How could she not hate Du Ruo? He had taken advantage of her before. In the past few days, she had also heard about Cheng Yunshuo's appointment of an imperial doctor for her. She became angry after hearing this.
I wanted to ask Du Ruo several times if she was shameless, but she didn't care about the severity.
She persuaded the master of the family to treat her aunt, and she really felt that her concubine was going to go to heaven.
No need to scold, no need to clean up!
It's a pity that I haven't seen Du Ruo in the past few days.
Call her and scold her but no one can see her.
After she finished speaking, Du Ruo walked over and said, "Congratulations."
Du Ruo took off a pair of expensive jade hairpins on her head, which Cheng Yunshuo gave her privately.
These are not the gold, silver, and pearl hairpins that are given to the aunts in the house. This pair of emerald jade hairpins is her most precious jewelry.
"This is for you to add makeup. I wish you can be a happy and worry-free matron like your big sister in the future."
The heavy jade hairpin fell on Liu Qingping's hand. She looked at Du Ruo in front of her in astonishment, who had changed from the usual lively and imposing man.
Du Ruo lowered his head at this moment, his eyes falling on her palm, with visible envy in his eyes.
She was envious of Liu Qingping.
Even though Du Ruo was favored, she felt the difference between being a concubine and being a wife during this period.
Concubine, I really will be a concubine in this life.
She will never be able to catch up with being a real wife.
"you......"
Before Liu Qingping finished speaking, Du Ruo turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Liu Qingping frowned, and finally snorted, "You didn't choose your own path. When your family arranged the marriage for you, they were all serious ladies. You have to be a concubine yourself, hum!"
After Liu Qingping finished speaking, she clutched the pair of jade hairpins and went back.
That afternoon, Liu Qingping returned to her home.
The next day, Lu Lingjun went to Liu's house and gave Liu Qingping some makeup.
Liu Qingping's mother also gave Lu Lingjun some things in return, and Lu Lingjun returned some of them.
This suddenly made her status in her family circle higher again.
When everyone mentioned Lu Lingyun, they all praised and envied him. Those who had given him makeup felt that it was the best gift they had given him in their lives.
Mrs. Liu also came. She listened to her relatives' praise of Lu Lingjun, smiling but feeling sad.
But she gradually realized that her biological daughter Lu Hanyi sent Lu Lingyun to her for a living!
She used to think that Lu Hanyi was not doing well because their marriage had been changed, but now she couldn't help but feel that even if Lu Lingjun married Li Wenxun, she might not be doing well!
Lu Lingjun is really capable.
After the lively ceremony, Liu Qingping married into the family of Master Zhang of Guanglu Temple.
The third marriage of the year ended, and Lu Lingjun was free again.
In the back house, except for Du Ruo, who continues to be in the spotlight, there is nothing else going on. Qin Shaojing in the east courtyard and the Qin family in the other courtyard are both peaceful and Changan.
The days were getting hotter, and Lu Lingjun took the children to bask in the sunshine in the yard, eating the newly delivered peaches, one bite at a time, and the sweet juice bloomed in his mouth.
The sun slowly climbed up to the rose shelf above the head, and waves of pleasant fragrance and shadows of flowers fell on Lu Lingyun.
At this time, Xiaowei came to report.
"Young Madam, someone is looking for Madam Marquis."
"Oh?" Lu Lingjun, who had been taking a nap, woke up immediately. She stood up from the cushioned rocking chair, "Who is it?"
"He's from the border. He says he's a distant relative of our Marquis Mansion."
"Do we have any relatives at the border gate?"
"Yes, the old man had a cousin. His clan was guarding the border and looking at the ancestral graves. He said that the border had suffered a disaster and came to look for the Marquis. They still have tokens."
When Lu Lingjun heard this, her drowsiness faded away. She stretched her waist lazily and said, "Show me the token."
"yes."
An old jade pendant was presented.
Lu Lingjun looked at the jade pendant and recognized it as belonging to the Cheng family. "First invite people in, and then send this to another courtyard to ask my mother-in-law and father-in-law."
"yes!"
After a while, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in rags, led a little girl of six or seven years old and followed Xiao Wei in.
The two of them were dusty, with dark faces and chapped skin. They looked even more miserable than the scavengers in the capital. The young man's eyes were bright and fierce, like a hungry wolf. The little girl following him was... She timidly hugged one of his legs and hid behind him, looking curiously at everything in front of her.
When she arrived at Lu Lingjun's yard, she saw a large plate of peaches on her table. Her eyes were twitching and she couldn't move her head away.
When Lu Lingjun saw this, he smiled and said to the little girl, "Want to eat?"
The little girl raised her head when she heard the sound, looked at Lu Lingyun eagerly, and nodded.
"If you want to eat, come and get it." Lu Lingjun waved to her.
The little girl let go of her brother's hand and walked forward, when a male voice came from behind.
"Hui Hui, you must have rules."
When his voice fell, Cheng Hui immediately stopped and returned to her brother obediently.
"It doesn't matter. You have come all the way. Eat something first. I have already sent someone to inform my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will wait for their letter."
"Uncle isn't here?"
"My father-in-law is not in good health. He is resting in another courtyard. You guys need to eat something first."
After hearing this, the man was no longer restrained. He pulled his sister to sit down and ate the snacks and fruits on the table.
Both of them looked hungry for a long time and wolfed down their food. Lu Lingjun saw this and said, "Tell the kitchen to make some food and bring it to them."
"yes."
After the two of them had a meal at Lu Lingyun's place to fill their stomachs, news from the Qin family came back.
Mrs. Qin said this was the jade pendant of her Cheng family, and asked Lu Lingjun to treat it well. She and the old Marquis would come back in two days to have a look.
When Lu Lingjun heard this, she knew that her mother-in-law wanted her to ask the person who came first.
"I still don't know the names of the young master and the young lady."
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome. We are not young ladies. My name is Cheng Qi, and this is my sister Cheng Hui. I am not afraid of my sister-in-law's jokes. We are here just to find a place to stay." Cheng Qi raised his head, with a fierce look in his eyes. He put away his strength, and his dark and embarrassed face showed a bit of embarrassment and caution.
