"Oh my lady, the third lady is no longer a third girl."
"Now our third young lady is definitely the royal concubine, here!"
Nanny Qian's forehead was covered with sweat but she looked excited. She was not afraid that the smell of her body would smell to Mrs. Hu. Instead, she walked a few steps quickly and revealed the jade Ruyi in the brocade box in her arms.
Even petty officials like them know that if they win a general election, they will be given jade, and if they lose, they will be given flowers.
Madam Hu's eyes widened immediately. She didn't expect that Lu Yunying was really so lucky. When she took a closer look at Lu Yunying, she understood everything.
When Lu Yunying was at home, she held her breasts in her arms and shrank her back, acting timidly. Now she was walking gracefully, just like the graceful hibiscus in the lake.
When she was at home, Lu Yunying was cautious and avoided many people's eyes. At this moment, she was open and generous. When she noticed her gaze, she looked at her without being humble or overbearing.
Not to mention that Lu Yunying's appearance was already gorgeous, but now it was even more difficult to look directly at her.
"Three, three...empress?"
"I've seen my mother, and I want to say hello to her."
"Aunt Zhang, please."
"Mom, just call me San Yatou. There is no decree from the palace yet. How can I be so frivolous?"
Although they are biological mother and daughter, Lu Yunying is the third young lady and can be regarded as the serious master of the Lu family. At this moment, she is also a reserve princess. Aunt Zhang is not even a good concubine. Naturally, she does not need to salute when she sees her, but now she greets her. No one dares to say anything wrong.
"Okay, okay...Yunying, sit down quickly, you must be tired."
Mrs. Hu immediately found her position. Although she was a little unfamiliar, she was not someone who couldn't let go of her figure. What's more, Lu Yunying's entry into the palace was a fact, which was also good for the Lu family.
From then on, she did not mention anything about her concubine and legitimate daughter, nor did she mention anything about marrying her natal nephew. She even mentioned Aunt Zhang's future fate secretly in her mind.
After such a commotion, the entire main courtyard became lively.
Those who prepared tea prepared tea, and those who prepared snacks prepared snacks. Even Mrs. Hu did not dare to take the main seat. She declined several times before taking the seat with her.
The smart people rushed to call the "sick" Lu Feng, and no one cared whether he was really sick at this moment.
I want those servants to say that for such a happy event, even if the master is really sick, he should be cheered up.
With such a commotion in the main courtyard, the second young lady Lu Yunluo, who lives not far from the main courtyard, naturally heard the commotion. Because of some small thoughts, she did not want to see her third sister, but looking at this situation... let Her maid dressed her up and walked towards the main courtyard, arriving before anyone else said:
"Mother, is Third Sister back? I came here specially to visit... Third Sister?"
Lu Yunluo looked at Lu Yunying in disbelief. Was her third sister like this in the past?
He sat down in confusion and heard that Lu Yunying had given him jade and would be entering the palace in the near future. His thoughts were even more complicated than words.
Before the election, she was also thinking about whether it was possible for her... But she didn't have to worry about it for too long. The front yard sent someone to say that the master was injured after hearing the news, and invited a doctor to come into the house, so he couldn't come for the time being.
However, the master also told the third lady not to go visit him. His condition is not serious. The father and daughter will see him again when there is a big banquet in the evening.
As for the two young masters and the young master, they are not in the house today. They have sent people to the academy to invite them. The brothers and sisters can also get close to each other during the family dinner in the evening.
Mrs. Hu never expected such a result. Lu Feng didn't even show up. Who didn't know that his illness was just fake?
It's okay if the person doesn't arrive, and there's no courtesy. On weekdays, treating the three girls is... no, it's actually a good thing.
Mrs. Hu's mind was already full of excitement:
"It's just right. Master may have considered that Yun Ying is sleepy just after you came back, so it would be good to get together in the evening."
"Mother Qian, go. Didn't the first one just get a ruby hair mask? I'm not suitable for this because I'm old, so it's just for Yunying."
With that said, she came to hold Lu Yunying's hand again, and said with a gentle smile:
"She is young and can hold this color down, which is part of my appreciation for being a mother."
Lu Yunying thanked me obediently and then left. After she and Aunt Zhang left, only Mrs. Hu and the second young lady Lu Yunluo were left in the room. Lu Yunluo then pouted and said:
"Didn't the ruby leader agree to keep it in the box for me? Why did he give it to her?"
"Okay, little ancestor, what can I do if I don't give it? I'm offending someone for nothing?"
"Why did my mother offend her? Isn't she good enough? How come..."
Looking at Mrs. Hu's eyes, Lu Yunluo's voice gradually became quieter:
"It's just a matter of entering the palace. There are so many concubines in the harem today. According to our family background, she can only enter the palace with the rank of attendant or Baolin. Why should she give such a good thing? Can't she just give her a little money?"
"You usually get along with your third sister, but do you ever think she can enter the palace?"
Mrs. Hu asked rhetorically.
"How could I have thought of that?"
"Then what do you think of her appearance now?"
"..."
"Look, you haven't thought about it. Even if you have thought about it, you think the probability is low. But now I want to tell you that the situation is different. It's better for you to change your attitude. Now I have reached the sky in one step. No matter what my status is, it is true. She really became a concubine in the palace."
"I usually dare to say that I have not treated Zhang and her daughter badly, but I offended her not long ago regarding her marriage."
"It's not a bad treatment from my cousin..."
"Okay, you are getting married soon, don't be petty, Yunluo, you know you are really sorry for her in this matter."
That's why I have to apologize.
Lu Yunluo stopped talking at all. Naturally, no one dared to tell her that the Hu family's cousin had a heart disease. But she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. How could she not know the news that Lu Yunying could find out?
Seeing that the second young lady Lu Yunluo finally understood the truth, Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that the child can still listen to what he said.
In addition, what she didn't say clearly was that her status was unstable and she had no connections in the officialdom. Now that Lu Yunying could enter the palace, as a member of the Hu family, it was not impossible for her to follow the example of her father in the past and form a good relationship and make some investments.
After the mother and daughter finished chatting, Grandma Qian also sent the ruby head and face, and they were ready to go see the "sick" Lu Feng.
As the head of the family, when he was sick, as his wife and daughter, he had to visit him. As for Lu Yunying, she didn't have to go with permission, but they couldn't.
She was just wondering what Lu Feng was planning to do, but she didn't expect that she was really sick. After learning the whole situation from Lu Feng's personal servant, even Mrs. Hu was a little speechless.
I was so happy that I lost my temper after hearing the news, and for a while I lay in bed unable to get up.
Really...I don't know whether my father made the right bet or the wrong bet.
Lu Yunying didn't know about what happened in the front yard for the time being. She was admiring the set of ruby heads that had just been delivered, looking at the pomegranate pattern that meant many children and good fortune, and then thinking about the wedding of her second sister Lu Yunluo not long ago. She also had What don't you understand?
He probably sent that person's dowry, but Lu Yunying wouldn't feel embarrassed. After all, it was an apology for plotting against her marriage.
Look, actually they all know that, right?
Mr. Li was not a good match, and neither was Mr. Hu. She had been wronged by marrying her to those people, but why did she still marry her?
The first is that there are benefits to this, and the second is that she has no ability to resist.
Now that she has the ability to resist, the situation is reversed in an instant, and it is not in vain that she has spent so much time to enter the palace.
"Miss, towel."
"Um."
Yuduo couldn't go out to pick up Lu Yunying like Aunt Qian, so she prepared hot water and other things in the room early so that Lu Yunying could relieve his fatigue as soon as he came back.
Lu Yunying's eyes opened from her head, and she reached out to take the warm handkerchief, but Yu Duo couldn't help it.
"Miss, have you really become the queen of the palace?"
"You have to reach the third rank in the palace to be called empress. I'm not qualified yet."
"Oh, how can you calculate it like this? If you can enter the palace, you are the most noble person."
"There are many noble people there."
"Miss, you... I'm worried about you at home, so you'd better make fun of me when you get back."
"How dare I."
Hearing that Lu Yunying's attitude towards him was almost the same as before, Yu Duo put the last trace of strangeness behind him.
God knows the difference in her heart when she saw her young lady for the first time today. She also knew that the young lady was good-looking, but, but... Palace Wind is really nurturing, this was the only explanation she could think of.
Yuduo and Lu Yunying grew up together, and their relationship is almost the same as that of biological sisters. To some extent, she is more important to Lu Yunying than Aunt Zhang, and Lu Yunying usually gets along with her more.
Just talking about Aunt Zhang, Lu Yunying looked at Aunt Zhang from the corner of her eye.
She is not much different from before. Although she is pregnant, she has only been pregnant for two or three months and has not yet shown her pregnancy. Her cheeks are just a little plumper. It seems that she is in a good situation in the house during this period.
This also made Lu Yunying feel relieved.
She couldn't regard Aunt Zhang as her real mother, but it was Aunt Zhang who gave birth to her in ten months of pregnancy, and her feelings for her were very pure. At least she had to arrange her future life before entering the palace.
The child in Aunt Zhang's belly was an accident. Lu Yunying didn't want it very much. Otherwise, Aunt Zhang's body was already weak, and it was difficult to give birth in ancient times. It was really unnecessary. However, Lu Yunying had no say in this matter, let alone Judging from the way Aunt Zhang touched her belly at least ten times after entering the room, she wanted this child herself.
really:
"Okay, okay, Yuduo, please stop making trouble with the third lady."
Aunt Zhang spoke, with a hint of shyness on her face, and said:
"Yunying, you, you should also know that I am pregnant."
Lu Yunying nodded.
"This child is as well-behaved and considerate as when I was pregnant with you. He has never made any trouble at all. Come on, do you want to touch me?"
Lu Yunying lowered her eyes, paused, and shook her head:
"It's still not stable after three months. I'm worried about scaring him."
Although Aunt Zhang was disappointed when she heard this, she also felt that there was some truth in it and cheered up. It was difficult for her to open her mouth before Madam, but in fact she had a lot to say:
"How can he be so fragile? This is because of his sister's luck, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to."
"This time you entered the palace, those people said that you were not so lucky. I didn't believe it. Not long after you entered the palace, I dreamed that you became the empress. Doesn't it seem so now?"
"Not long after, I dreamed that a No. 1 Scholar's hat rushed into my stomach. The doctor came to the house to check and found that I actually had this child. Look, is it a coincidence?"
"You are a queen, and your brother has this fetal dream again. I have nothing to worry about, but..."
She changed the topic and suddenly started crying:
"Your maternal grandparents, uncles and cousins are still suffering. Seeing that your siblings have become superiors, they are still inferiors. If you tell me this, won't it just make people laugh?"
silence.
Lu Yunying didn't answer at all, and the longer the silence lasted, the more Aunt Zhang became uneasy. She didn't know when she started to rely on her daughter, but she was a little afraid.
Especially since this daughter has now become the empress of the palace, she is in awe of her.
Finally, Lu Yunying finally spoke:
"What do you want, aunt?"
"Ah, I, I originally thought that if you marry Mr. Hu, your maternal family will also be a help in the future, but isn't this impossible now? But you are the empress again, why not, why not redeem your maternal family? The contract of sale allows them to come and live together in the capital, which can be regarded as a family reunion."
"Your two cousins are also smart. Maybe they can still read and help your brother and you in the future."
"Auntie, is this what you thought of yourself?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
"Everyone says it's hard to leave one's homeland. Although the capital is nice, how can I be sure that my aunt will be willing to come here?"
"Miss Third, are you worried about this? It's okay, your maternal family wrote to me..."
"What did you write?"
Lu Yunying suddenly looked at Aunt Zhang:
"Are you saying that it's not easy for them to be a householder and have children in the Hu family, or that they don't have enough money and need your help, or that the two cousins are smart and smart, which is what they need to study?"
"..."
"Auntie, you didn't tell them that the Lu family and the Hu family might be planning to get married, right?"
Faced with Lu Yunying's sudden rebellion, Aunt Zhang retreated steadily and didn't know how to refute:
"me....."
"Did you say that?"
"I, I just, just..."
"Auntie, do you know what my identity is now?"
"..."
"The palace does not force all official ladies to participate in the general election. Therefore, although the second sister has not set a wedding date, she has already made a horoscope with others, so she did not run for the election this time. But do you know, aunt, that even though she participated in the general election, she still remained calm What will happen if people discuss marriage?"
Aunt Zhang paled, she spoke and stammered:
"No, there is no marriage proposal."
"Really? Then, can you guarantee that there won't be any nonsense over there?"
She can't.
No matter how hard she is on her mother's family, Aunt Zhang also knows how arrogant her family will be once they know that Yun Ying and the eldest son are planning to get married.
After watching this scene, Yu Duo swallowed her saliva and did not dare to speak at all. Then she heard her own lady say:
"Please take my aunt back, and take the sign to see a doctor on the way. Don't let anything happen to your aunt's body."
Afterwards, Lu Yunying went straight to Mrs. Hu's main courtyard.
Aunt Zhang did make a mistake, but her fault was also caused by Madam's indulgence.
Now that something has happened, does Mrs. Hu want to stay out of it? Dreaming, besides, there is no one more suitable to handle this matter than Mrs. Hu.
