Lu Jiuchen looked at the person opposite him with a smirk on his face and pointed at his hand with his chin: "Why, I got into some girl's boudoir last night. She seems to be a bit aggressive."
After one night, the scratches have started to scab.
Fu Jinan glanced over and said nothing.
Lu Jiuchen didn't care, and suddenly smiled sarcastically: "By the way, I heard that there are changes in officials. I'm really happy for some people and sad for others."
Fu Jinan's expression finally changed and he said, "What does this have to do with you?"
Lu Jiuchen curled his lips, filled himself with wine, put it under his nose, smelled it, took a sip, and squinted his eyes to be intoxicated.
After a while, he said: "Of course it has nothing to do with me. My mission is to spend the day and night and be a qualified dandy young prince. But you,"
Lu Jiuchen continued: "I heard that the emperor rejected Duke Jingguo's proposal, and even Duke Jingguo's attempt to get your cheap brother a job as a city gate historian failed. Guess why?"
Facing Lu Jiuchen's appraising eyes, Fu Jinan looked much calmer: "It seems that you have become really bold recently. Even the Sacred Heart dares to guess, and I am not afraid that Prince Qing will skin you if he finds out!"
Lu Jiuchen curled his lips: "It's boring, I can't take the joke. Forget it, I'll go find my Taohong girl."
Then he leaned closer to Fu Jinan, stared into his eyes and said, "By the way, you don't know, right? There is a new girl in Yichun Court named Taohong. She is in her prime, the buds have not yet opened, and she looks like a watery girl. A few days ago, I don’t know who took advantage of me, but he paid a thousand taels of silver to break the melon for the young lady. Who knows, in the end, it was because that guy couldn’t do it or something, he actually escaped from the battle, and he took advantage of me. "
Lu Jiuchen stared at Fu Jinan and smiled evilly.
"roll."
Fu Jinan opened his thin lips and uttered a word.
Lu Jiuchen laughed loudly and waved as he walked out: "Brother, thank you!"
Not long after Lu Jiuchen left, he saw Duke Jingguo coming over with a dark face. Changying was about to go in to report when he was kicked away: "Where is that beast?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure standing in front of him, a head taller than him.
Duke Jingguo's arrogance suddenly dropped a bit.

"Old lady, I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"
Because of her excitement, Grandma Du staggered and almost fell on the threshold.
Luo Ruzhen covered her mouth and snickered.
Luo Ran lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Old madam, I'm so happy!"
Grandma Du stood firm, and smiled and congratulated the old lady again, with the wrinkles on her face deepening by two points.
Mrs. Cao glared at her daughter and said with a smile: "What kind of happy event is it? Grandma said, it makes us so anxious."
Mrs. Cao's belly is now very big. The doctor has seen it and feels that she will give birth in about ten days.
According to her original idea, she didn't want to come here every day to calm down at dawn and dusk. Pregnant women will always be sleepy, especially in the winter. Who wants to crawl out of bed and sit here.
But her aunt didn't speak, and she couldn't mention it herself.
Let the husband speak, Luo Decheng saw his aunt's mother-in-law and the cat-like temper, so he had to cheer up every day.
Seeing Grandma Du being so happy at this time, I felt a little look down on her.
The old lady also smiled and said: "You old guy, what makes you so happy? Tell me now. Don't let these children see your joke."
"Why!"
Grandma Du slapped her thigh excitedly: "Old madam, I've been promoted, my young master has been promoted!"
The old lady was about to be happy, but then she thought something wrong: "But I heard which concubine gave birth to the child, and who was the boy and girl?"
Aunt Du hurriedly corrected her: "Hey, madam, where are you thinking! What I'm saying is that the young master cousin has been promoted! In the midst of the promotion of the fifth rank, the whole family will move to the capital in a few days!"
"Ah! Really!"
The old lady stood up in surprise.
Luo Ran smiled softly, finally finding something that matched his previous life. If the old lady's biggest worry in the first half of her life was probably her mother's family.
After so many years with Mr. Luo, although I didn't get a royal title, I still became an official's wife. Later, her son succeeded and came back with a title of his own, and she followed suit and got a second-grade imperial concubine.
It's just that in the past few years, except for Li's elder brother Li Yuanliang, who has become a fifth-rank official, the rest of the Li family have not been able to come to the fore.
Although he is still in the fifth rank, he is only one level higher than before, but he can't stand being a Beijing official. As the saying goes, it is easy to be an official at the feet of the emperor.
Who can guarantee that it won’t be promoted again in the future?
The old lady began to be concerned about when her nephew's family would come to Beijing and whether their accommodation would be arranged, and she asked about it from beginning to end.
Aunt Du smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Old madam, please don't worry, the person who reported the message is outside. I will invite him in right now."
"Then why are you standing still! Why don't you hurry up and go!"
The old lady urged.
After a while, a woman dressed as a grandma came in, claiming to be Aunt Qiu, and she also had a happy face.
Aunt Qiu spoke eloquently and clearly explained the old lady's concerns in a few words.
When the old lady heard that her nephew's family would be able to come to Beijing at the end of February, she felt happy again and said, "Just in time for Xue'er and Hairi."
Aunt Qiu responded with a smile: "Isn't it true? Our old lady said the same thing."
The old lady in her mouth is also Li's mother and the old lady's widowed sister-in-law.
When the old lady heard that Aunt Qiu said that her nephew's family planned to rent a house first, she immediately became unhappy. She turned around and told Aunt Du: "Go and clean out the yard on the east side. They just came to Beijing, so what's going on when they go out to rent a house. After all, there is a lot of space at home, so let’s live there first, and it won’t be too late to move when we find a house.”
Aunt Qiu was naturally very happy and thanked her again and again.
After talking for a while, the old lady asked Aunt Du to take Aunt Qiu down to rest.
After they left, the old lady couldn't close her mouth, and kept talking about how difficult it was for her widowed sister-in-law to live for so many years.
Mrs. Cao echoed beside her.
Luo Ruzhen curled her lips and moved to Luo Ran at some point. She whispered, "I think Aunt Qiu did it on purpose. She clearly wants to live in our house!"
Luo Ran glanced at the nine-year-old fourth sister in surprise.
It has to be said that even this fourth sister is much smarter than herself in the previous life.
After she lost her innocence in her previous life, she locked herself in the yard every day, even skipping morning and dusk hours, and only waited for a year to get married in a hurry.
At that time, she was still grateful to her grandmother, but later she found out that her grandmother didn't want to see her at all.
So she was only aware of what happened outside, including the Li family. After moving in for a long time, she found out that they had lived in the Hou Mansion for so long because of something.
Luo Ran was listening to Luo Ruzhen complaining about how poor the Li family was when she heard someone calling her.
He looked up and said, "Grandma, what did you just say?"
The old lady's face turned cold, but she thought that today was a good day, so she didn't care about it, and said again: "Your cousins from the Li family will be here in a few days. Although they are in Yanqing, not far from the capital, But it’s not as prosperous as the capital city.”
Luo Ran listened carefully to the old lady's preparations. Finally, when the preparations were almost complete, the old lady said, "I'm going to change into spring clothes in the next few days. I'll ask Aunt Qiu to give you the measurements later. Let's make two sets for each of them."
"Yes, granddaughter listens to grandma."
Luo Ran obediently agreed.
Seeing that she agreed so happily, the old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Well, she finally looks like the eldest lady of the Marquis Mansion."
Luo Ran smiled lightly.
