Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 44
In the early morning of the next day, a pair of wild magpies stood on the branches of the crabapple and twittered non-stop, calling for the sun to come out from the bottom of the mountain quickly.

Qingshui Lane just moved to Lu's mansion, and a group of little maids went to Miss Fourth to give lectures as soon as they woke up.

Yesterday they only cared about the rules and didn't dare to pay close attention to the female relatives of this big family.

The maids and servants are also strange to say that they have been in this mansion for a day, and they don’t know what kind of master is living in. However, this courtyard is one of the best mansions in Beijing. How much difference are those four clans?

In front of Miss Lu Si's room, there were more than a dozen little maids standing, wearing lily plain brocade jackets and light pink skirts, with delicate faces and a shy look.

Lianyi is wearing a water-green mist-colored chest-length skirt today, with a delicate butterfly hairpin on her head. Standing on the green steps, she seems to have carefully dressed up, looking proudly at the little maids standing next to her. .

She is different from these servant girls, so she has to show some uniqueness.

Luo Ning cleaned up her makeup in the boudoir for her young lady, pushed open the folding door and walked out.

She was only wearing the ordinary collared skirt, seeing Lianyi's outfit today, she just froze for a moment, lowered her head, and yelled loudly: "Miss Si, wake up in the morning!"

The little maids had never seen this rule before, they lowered their heads in panic, not daring to show their anger.

An obscene and feminine fragrance radiated from the room.

"Keep your heads up."

The soft and waxy voice, with the unique melody of Suzhou, spoke lightly.

The little maids raised their heads, one by one stunned, staring at the woman on the green steps with half-opened lips.

There is a pair of narrow and beautiful red phoenix eyes embedded in the fair face, and a cinnabar mole under the left eye rises up with the woman's red lips.

Wearing a peony thin water cloud smoke skirt, reflecting the charming little face, she looked like a fairy concubine for a while, her hair was lightly tied up with sandalwood hairpins, leaving a strand of blue silk hanging by her ear, and her steps were lightly swaying like a weak willow Fufeng has its own charm.

All the little maids have also received the rules given by the head teacher, but today they met such a charming lady, and they forgot everything about these rules.

"Cough!" Luo Ning suppressed the smile on his face, and reminded him aloud.

She knew that her young lady's appearance was suitable for both men and women.

The little servant girls came back to their senses and bowed slightly, their voices were joyful, and they said in unison: "Servant, I have seen Miss."

My young lady is so beautiful, she will surely have a great fortune in the future, if they can marry into a wealthy family, they will be selected as a dowry, and they can also enjoy the blessings of the past.

"Miss, I know what's going on in your heart, be careful." Lu Ziyu put away the amicable expression just now, his eyes turned cold, and his tone was cold, and he said, "From today on, this lady is your master, don't think about it." What kind of messed-up thoughts, otherwise it will be a good meal~"

Seeing this, the little maids also understood the means of their own lady, and in their hearts they only thought that no matter what they did in the future, they must not slack off, so they hurriedly responded: "Yes, I will follow the lady's instruction!"

Lu Ziyu nodded lightly, raised the end of his eyes, and said casually: "My lady also asked about it. The maids in this Beijing family have two sets of dresses every season, and one piece of jewelry every year, but they are still of ordinary appearance. , rouge and gouache usually have to be bought separately with my own monthly money, let alone food and shelter.”

The little maids calmly waited for their young lady to continue, but their eyes lit up.

The woman on the green steps played with the hair by her ears, and said with a smile: "The maids who serve me wholeheartedly, regardless of food and clothing, just say four sets of dresses per season, plus jewelry, every month. The money is twice as much as theirs, and during the Spring Festival, you can choose a pure gold bracelet, and you can go to your own shop to get a box of rouge and gouache every month, such and such rules, what do you think? ”

This is not good, this is really good, even in the palace there may not be such treatment.

But which family is this?

The little maids knelt down together and said loudly: "Miss, please give me your name."

The woman sneered, patted her head and said, "I don't want to think about these people, so I'll name them with the 24 solar terms in order. After going to three summers, two colds, and two snows, there are still seventeen left, which is just enough." go."

"Miss Si has someone coming from the palace, Madam sent me to greet you in front of the mansion." A Lu trotted into this courtyard and hurriedly reported.

Lu Ziyu nodded in agreement, shook off the handkerchiefs to get the maids to get up, adjusted their appearances before saying, "Hey! Let's stop here today, and you all will follow me to the gate of the house."

Palace?Could it be the palace?

Could it be that they are serving the relatives of the emperor, or dignitaries?

If you still think about it, you will know if you go out and have a look.

The little maids stood up and patted the dust off their dresses, bowed their heads respectfully, and followed behind their young lady.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, Lu Ziyu saw a man wearing a gray-blue gown with embroidered python patterns and a red servant's hat on his head. He knew in his heart that this person must be of high esteem in the palace.

With dimples on her cheeks, she stepped forward and said in a soft voice: "The little girl is late, and I have never been able to welcome my father-in-law."

Jiang Xian and Lu Jinyan were old acquaintances. I heard that he had always wanted to take the opportunity to visit him when he returned to Beijing. It just so happened that today he was ordered by the Holy Spirit to come here on business, so that he could reunite with old friends and say a few decent words.

Hearing a voice talking to him, Jiang Xian raised his eyes to look for it with a smile, his expression paused.

"Hey? Which family's lady is this? With this appearance and character, she is really like a fairy girl." Jiang Xian claimed to have seen countless beauties in his life, but it was the first time that such a beauty was so flamboyant. meet.

Lu Ziyu squeezed the orchid, covered his lips with a smile and didn't respond.

"This is my little four. He landed in Suzhou. He didn't stay in Beijing for a long time. I don't think the chief executive has ever seen him before." Lu Jinyan smiled heartily, turned around and introduced to his daughter: "This is Jiang, the famous man next to the saint. The manager is also an old friend of my father."

Lu Ziyu nodded with a smile, bowed deeply to Jiang Xian, and said with respect: "The fourth lady of the Lu family, Yu, met Uncle Jiang."

As soon as the words came out, the relationship was brought closer.

Jiang Xian's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he praised Lu Jinyan for raising a good daughter.

Jia Chang chatted for a while, but also remembered that it was time to get down to business.

With a wave of the whisk, a group of young eunuchs came forward with the things in their hands.

Lu Jinyan was at a loss, he really couldn't imagine what was sent from the palace, and so many people needed to be used.

"This is?"

"Don't you know it by yourself?"

Jiang Xian sold off with a smile, and made a "please" towards the rectangular object.

Stroking up with big palms, he lifted it hard.

The black golden nanmu plaque was reflected in everyone's eyes, on which were engraved with four large gilt characters of Duke Lu's Mansion.

There is also a line of small characters at the back, which says the month and day as a gift to Lu Guogong——Lu Jinyan, with the saint's seal on it.

This grandeur and honor are not even known by those four clans.

Now, the maids and servants who have just entered the mansion finally understand which family they are serving.

A Lu has always been quite discerning, he gave a wink to the servants behind him, and said in unison: "Congratulations, my lord, I am delighted to have won the holy plaque."

Lu Jinyan's face was full of joy, he knelt down with a "plop", and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the plaque.

Jiang Xian patted his old friend on the shoulder, leaned over to help him stand up, and said with a relieved smile: "At the beginning of this year, there was a war, and the spring scientific research was postponed for three months. Do, the sage heard that your eldest son is talented and knowledgeable, and he has a special permission to participate in the Chunwei scientific examination."

Lu Jinyan was stunned by two good news in a row, his feet slipped, and he said in a trembling voice, "Really, really?"

Jiang Xian pursed his lips, poked his arm, and said with dissatisfaction: "You still can't trust our family?"

Really got the grace of the saint.

But fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and we must not be complacent and arouse suspicion.

Everyone in front of the mansion looked happy, only the charming lady in the peony cloud smoke dress had uneasiness and speculation in her eyes.

　The second volume is a bit messy, in order to ensure the quality and content of the book, I have to reorganize my thoughts~

　　My son, try to keep updating. If it breaks, I hope everyone will tolerate it. This is a one-step brain-burning article, and it is not a noob. There are many holes buried in the front, and they will be filled one by one in the second volume, so the rhythm of the second volume will not be so fast. , but it will be very cool later, because Miss Lu led everyone to solve many mysteries together.
