The girl who wears fast

Chapter 15 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (15)

"Then can you find the gum of this tree again? I also want to improve my carriage." Luo Changqing asked unceremoniously.

Xu Shichu shook his head and said: "Then I can't guarantee it. I only wanted to buy it because I saw it was novel. The merchant who sold it to me didn't leave his name and address. If you want it, you have to go there yourself." Inquired and inquired."

In order to deceive others, Xu Shichu did find several foreign merchants to buy things. Those merchants were not native to the dynasty, and they were in business. Their whereabouts were erratic, and it was very difficult to find them again.

"That's a pity. Madam, if there is news about the businessman next time, please let me know." Luo Changqing didn't force it.

Xu Shichu naturally agreed. If it weren't for her companion space, there wouldn't be many rubber trees, and rubber trees grow slowly, and it would take several years to grow to the point where the sap can be harvested. She wanted to start the rubber wheel business. Few of the strips are flat.

Luo Changqing talked to Xu Shichu for a while before leaving the carriage, and did not take her carriage all the way to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw brilliant lights on both sides, and the tall palace lanterns were hanging, illuminating the palace like daytime.

Xu Shichu followed behind Luo Changqing, and behind her were brothers and sisters Luo Rui and Luo Yaqing.The two brothers and sisters were obviously used to entering the palace, and they were not in a hurry, but talked about the hanging ornaments in the palace, which seemed a bit leisurely.

Luo Changqing is the prime minister, so the seats of their family are naturally at the front, male guests and female guests are seated separately, Xu Shichu and Luo Yaqing were respectfully invited to the table by Gong'e.

The table was almost full of people, Xu Shichu took a look and saw that there were rich and graceful ladies and delicate and noble young girls.

"Miss Luo, you are finally here. I just told your aunt about you!" A lady in her thirties who smiled very amiably said to Luo Yaqing, "Look, long time no see, Miss Luo has become more and more lovely..."

"Mrs. Chang, you're flattered. You are the one who is more beautiful than before. The older you are, the younger you are." Luo Yaqing said with a blushing face.

"Oh! This mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!" Mrs. Chang boasted with a smile that could see her teeth but not her eyes.

Luo Yaqing greeted the ladies and ladies at the same table again, and introduced Xu Shichu's identity.

Xu Shichu suddenly felt that many obscure eyes were focused on him. Obviously, these people were all looking at him, the new prime minister's wife.

"This is the prime minister's wife. She is so beautiful! I see that there is no woman in the capital as stunning as Mrs. Luo. No wonder Prime Minister Luo has not married anyone these years, but he just married you!" Said suddenly with a smiling voice.

At Xu Shichu's first glance, she was a woman in her thirties, full of jewels and rich makeup, but her cheekbones were too high and her cheeks were too thin, which made her look mean and unkind.

What she said seemed to be praising Xu Shichu's beauty, but she was actually saying that Xu Shichu had no other character advantages to praise except for his beauty, and even hinted that Luo Changqing married her because of her beauty.

"Ma'am, that's Chen Bi Da Sima's wife, she and the third prince's mother and concubine are sisters..." Nurse Zhang beside her whispered to Xu Shichu.

Xu Shichu suddenly understood, matched this harsh face with Mrs. Da Sima, and thought about her family relationship again, and knew that this lady was dissatisfied with her blocking her niece from becoming the prime minister's wife. She was venting her anger. After all, she had always wanted to help the third prince pull Prime Minister Luo into their boat, but she didn't want to be cut off by Xu Shichu, an unknown person. Can you not be angry?
"Ma'am, I'm overwhelmed. Although I also think that I have good looks, I have better character. My husband married me because of my good looks and good character." Xu Shichu smiled and said brazenly. She just boasted brazenly. If you know yourself, you won't pretend to be humble.

"Hehe, Mrs. Luo's words are really interesting. I don't know what is your good character? Could it be that you are teasing us with words? After all, your appearance is obvious to all, but your character cannot be seen immediately." Mrs. Da Sima said with a half smile.

"My character is good because I abide by my duty, be virtuous, gentle and honest, diligent and thrifty in housekeeping... There are other advantages that I don't think of for the time being. If you want to know, why not ask my husband? He is sure I know." Xu Shichu smiled innocently and said without guilt.

This time, it wasn't just Mrs. Da Sima who choked and turned blue when she heard her words. Not only did he not shrink back timidly, but he boasted brazenly about himself, his skin was as thick as a city wall!
Whose wife is so immodest?
Seeing the stunned and unbelievable faces of the crowd, Xu Shichu glanced at it with peace of mind, and said, "Don't be so surprised, I have many good qualities, and you will realize them one by one in the future!"

Xu Shichu firmly believes that as long as he is not embarrassed at this time, then others are the ones who are embarrassed, and they don't care what others think of him, they can only talk about it behind their backs, will it affect their daily life?

Luo Yaqing's complexion was difficult to distinguish, and she didn't expect that her stepmother's temper was hard to explain, and she seemed a little - not stingy?Words and deeds are unexpected.

Choked by Xu Shichu's boastful words, the meeting was silent for a long time. After a long time, a noble lady said to Luo Yaqing: "Yaqing has grown so big in a blink of an eye. I still remember when you were one year old, your mother hugged you and played in the yard." , laughing hahaha... How time flies, if your mother is still here, seeing you slim and handsome, I don't know how happy I am."

"Auntie, it's been so long, it's hard for you to remember my mother. Although my mother is gone, I still have my father and brother." Luo Yaqing said, feeling a little sad.

The others comforted each other, and suddenly someone said: "Speaking of which, Master Luo and your mother had such a good relationship back then, and the talented and beautiful women matched each other well. At that time, who wouldn't envy the deep love between the two of them? It's a pity that your mother died young. To grow old together with your father..."

As soon as this man finished speaking, his speculative eyes fell on Xu Shichu, as if he wanted to see how sad and embarrassing she was when she heard that her husband and his first wife fell in love with each other.

However, Xu Shichu's face was calm, and he even smiled, and said regretfully: "That's really a pity! It's a pity that Luo Cheng is so affectionate and loving to his original wife, but he didn't go with her, and lived alone in the world, otherwise To be able to live and die together is a good story!"

Immediately, a needle could be heard again during the dinner.

Xu Shichu - Senior topic terminator.
