Chapter 34 Dealing with Qujiacun

Lu Junwan now doesn't want to show any kindness to his son-in-law.

The second brother has resigned as the head of the family, and the second sister-in-law has always been at odds with him. I really don't know what he wants to do with his hot face and cold butt.

"Who wants to worship with you?"

Lu Junwan pushed aside his outstretched hands impatiently.

"Lu Jiangshi, let me tell you, if you have nothing to do, stay in the mansion well, go to the old lady's courtyard more often, take care of your mother, and don't go out to cause trouble all day long."

"Yes, yes, the lady taught you the lesson."

Jiang Yunqing was full of bitterness in his heart.

She was working desperately outside to help the Lu family manage their business, but she said that she was fooling around outside and causing trouble, so she really couldn't see her hard work at all.

Holding back his sadness, he still followed Qu Yunchu with a smile. Taking advantage of Lu Junwan's opportunity to hand over the snow clam paste to the maids, he hurriedly asked in a low voice:
"Second sister-in-law, I heard that my brother gave you 10 taels of silver for expenses every month. Tell me quickly, how did you please him? Teach me too?"

Qu Yun glanced at him for the first time and smiled faintly.

It turned out that he came here for this matter.

"It seems that Sanniang oppresses you very tightly?"

Qu Yunchu stared at him with a smile on his face.

"Ahem, it's hard to put it into words. We are both fallen people in the world. I am afraid that only my second sister-in-law can understand the pain in my heart."

Jiang Yun sighed softly.

Qu Yunchu glanced at him intently again.

Although this person is just a son-in-law, his appearance is very good.

The heavenly barn is full, it is easy to see nobles throughout your life, and you can get help from your close relatives to hide you for life.

The nose looks like a cut tube, the root of the mountain is raised and fleshy, the chin is round, the earlobes are thick, and the bony bone at the brow bone is also round and raised. People with this face will have good fortune in middle age and can take care of themselves.

"Sister-in-law is just a little struggling right now, you just need to calm down and restrain yourself, keep your duty, and in time you will be able to follow your fortune."

It was a pious advice, but Jiang Yunqing didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was prevaricating herself.

"When did the second sister-in-law get caught up in this trick?"

Jiang Yun pursed his lips lightly and said: "Meditate, restrain yourself, and keep your duty. This should be said to yourself. If it is true that the law of heaven is unfair, honest people deserve to suffer. Only those who deviate from the rules can gain more respect from people."

After the words fell, he turned his head in a hurry and rushed out.

"Lu Jiangshi."

Lu Junwan just told the maidservants to put away their things, when she saw her son-in-law rushing out the door, she felt furious.

"Take the gunpowder, this is it."

Choking in resentment, she stepped forward to hold Qu Yunchu with a smile on her face, and said, "Don't pay attention to him."

The Lu family looked down on this son-in-law because of the thoughts passed down from generation to generation, but in Qu Yunchu's eyes, all living beings are equal, and she didn't want to deliberately underestimate him.

Actually, as he said, she is also a fallen person in the world, she can understand what this son-in-law is thinking, he just wants to make life easier.

After all, it was the old lady Jiang Rui who made the decision. Even if Lu Junwan didn't like it, she would have no choice but to comply with God's will.

And she herself didn't resist from beginning to end.

"Sanniang, there are some things I want to tell you."

Qu Yunchu persuaded: "Since you are determined to live a good life with your sister-in-law, you should treat him with respect as a guest. This man should be given the dignity he deserves outside. Don't let others feel resentment because of your fault."

Hearing this, Lu Junwan also realized that she treated him too harshly.

It was her own wish to recruit a surrogate at the beginning, but she couldn't decide who to choose, and she always had some complaints in her heart.

Now that I think about it carefully, the Lu Jiang family has indeed been a private business in the past two years since he entered the mansion, helping the Lu family to take care of the business has no credit or hard work, on the contrary, he has treated him badly.

"Hey, did he complain to you about the money?"

Lu Jun smiled wryly and said: "I also heard that there was a young lady in Tanzhou city years ago, and the son-in-law hired by the family took the money from the family to secretly raise a concubine outside, so this year I was a little harsher on him. "

After thinking for a while, she nodded to herself again: "Your words reminded me that after all, he is my Lu family's son-in-law. The monthly salary of two taels of silver a month is indeed a bit shabby. I will give him more when I go back." One or two is enough."

These words made Qu Yunchu dumbfounded.

If two or three taels of silver were given to an ordinary family, it would be a huge sum of money. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. If placed in a family like the Lu family, three taels of silver would not be as good as the salary of a high-class maid in charge. No wonder Jiang Yunqing They circled around Lu Wenqian all day long.

However, this is always a matter between their husband and wife, and it is hard for him to say much.

Lu Junwan stayed in the courtyard and drank a bowl of bird's nest and snow clam porridge. Seeing that it was getting late, he led the female envoys back to his courtyard in a hurry.

Qu Yunchu originally thought about sending a few boxes of Xueha ointment to other courtyards, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate.

Lu Wenqian's mind is unclear at the moment, and she doesn't want to gain a reputation as a flatterer.

Insufficient guarantees will make people jealous.

After ordering Keyan to pack up her things, she rested early.

Over there at the Quinoa Banyan Courtyard, Lu Yanchao and Tang Youning returned home, and when they heard that Lu Wenqian had left all the leftover snow clam paste in Fengyage, Tang Youning was immediately very angry.

"Why, the official is now the head of the Lu family."

Tang Youning was worrying about running out of Xueha ointment for the past few days, and complained angrily, "Second Uncle, why should he make decisions on his own without the permission of the officials?"

Fahrenheit kept his head down, feeling a little displeased.

But she knows the status of the second child in the Lu family, even if she is not the head of the family, she can still control the fate of the Lu family with a single sentence.

Right now there is no letter of approval from the palace, and it is not the time to challenge him, since he will not instigate his daughter-in-law to make trouble, and will only cause trouble for himself.

Lu Yanchao was also optimistic about this matter: "However, there are a few boxes of snow clam ointment, why do you have to fight, this was also recovered by our second aunt by her own ability, and there is nothing wrong with giving her the rest as a reward."

After recovering Xueha Paste, he solved a difficult problem for himself anyway.

He didn't want to cause trouble over this matter.

"But officer, you are the head of the Lu family now."

Tang Youning is still obsessed with this: "Furthermore, that tricky woman doesn't even look down on her father now. Today, when my father went to look for her, she even tripped him and made him look ugly."

"If you say that the second child's family is really abnormal these days."

Fahrenheit asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you really got the protection of the immortal?"

Looking around at the couple, her doubts became more serious:
"Today, I heard Housekeeper Lu come back and said that your second aunt drove a group of paper cranes from Xuandu Temple to Qujia Village. Xuandu Temple was originally a little-known place, but the second son spent thousands of dollars to enter the temple. It made me very curious, and I have to go to Haosheng to pay my respects someday."

"It's just some demons, using some tricks of the rivers and lakes. Why should mother take it seriously?"

Lu Yanchao didn't feel curious: "If mother likes it, it's better to go to Jialan Temple."

However, he frowned when he thought of the fact that the production of snow clam ointment in Qujia Village was not as good as every year.

"Although my second uncle has been well-known in recent years, his reputation is in vain. He has always been kind to the Qujia Village. Now that I am the head of the Lu family, the entire territory of Qujia Village must be taken over by the Lu family. Only then can we guarantee that Xueha cream will be delivered to the palace every year as promised."

"I'm afraid that the villagers in Qujia Village won't move out of the village."

Fahrenheit was a little worried.

"Mother is worrying too much. The officer's godmother is a celebrity in front of His Majesty. Now that my father has entered Beijing again, it is nothing but a trivial matter to deal with a group of troublemakers."

Tang Youning strongly supports her husband to take over the entire Qujia Village. She doesn't want to have to fight for it with snow clam ointment.

Lu Yanchao had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately got up and said, "I'll take mother back, so mother doesn't have to worry about this anymore."

Fahrenheit nodded in thought, and finally agreed with his son's proposition.
