Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!

Chapter 262

“It’s Chinese New Year again!”

It's snowing heavily in the capital, and the roads are difficult to walk.

Girls and boys from wealthy families no longer go out casually.

Lin Yunwan and Qi Lingheng were waiting for people to come to pay New Year greetings. As for Qi Zaijun, he went to the palace to accompany Emperor Jingshun and Queen Zhao in their stead.

“The words “福” written on New Year’s Eve are not enough.”

Lin Yunwan picked up the pen again and wrote on a pile of red paper sprinkled with gold.

Qi Lingheng was at the side to help, and said: "Who makes the people below care about your word "Fu"?"

Lin Yunwan also smiled: "I am the master." The people below will pretend to like it even if they don't like it.

Qi Ling honed the ink and asked, "Have you sent it to Yun Yi?"

Lin Yunwan said: "If Yun Yi hadn't brought a bunch over, it would have been enough for this morning."

"Why does Yun Yi need so much? He wants to fill the Lin family?"

Lin Yunwan lowered her head and smiled: "... He probably wanted to give it to me as a long bow."

Speaking of Lu Changgong, Qi Lingheng had already thought of how cold the Lu family was now.

After the funeral, Lu Changgong took Zhu Qing and others to move.

"Isn't the house with two entrances a bit small?"

After Zhuqing finished rewarding the servants, she went to find Lu Changgong with Muer in her arms.

There was a funeral in the family, and the whole family was wearing plain clothes. She didn't even use rouge, and now she looked much younger.

Lu Changgong was reading in the study. He put down the book, walked to Mu'er, and talked to Zhuqing: "Auntie, you think the room is not enough?"

Men and women are different and they live separately.

Lu Changgong didn't know how Zhu Qing arranged her rooms. If it wasn't enough, he could move some of his rooms out.

Zhu Qing was worried: "Of course Mu'er and I have enough, but if you get a wife in the future, young master, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Lu Changgong smiled lightly: "Auntie is thinking too far."

The days of keeping filial piety have just begun.

Zhuqing thought about it, and that was true. She called Lu Changgong out to look at the word "福" posted on the window, and said excitedly: "Young master, look at this word. Does it look like what our grandma used to write?"

These blessing characters were all brought back by Lu Changgong from Lin Yunyi.

He smiled and told Zhuqing: "My aunt has good eyesight."

Zhu Qing was stunned, "It's really..."

Lu Changgong nodded, turned around and went into the study, took out a few red envelopes and two wooden boxes, and said, "Uncle Yi entrusted me to deliver these to my aunt and Mu'er."

Zhuqing was very surprised, "This..."

She didn't even expect that she still had a gift!

Mu'er was very happy: "Mom, does Mu'er have one too?"

Zhuqing opened two wooden boxes and gave her a very valuable walking stick, which was so ingenious.

However, it is not something for the royal family. Judging from the pattern carving, it is still the handiwork of a folk master.

For Muer...

Zhuqing's eyes widened: "So many gems? This, this big box!"

Red, blue and green gemstones, all available.

Lu Changgong said: "Uncle Yi said that since Mu'er was born, my mother..." He wanted to get used to changing his words, so he said: "The princess has never given her a meeting gift. This is a meeting gift for Mu'er."

"This is too precious!"

Zhuqing covered her chest, looked at the sparkling gems, and said, "This is enough to buy another big yard."

Lu Changgong smiled gently: "From now on, it will be Mu'er's dowry. Auntie, just keep it."

Zhu Qing was already very moved and smiled: "I just want to give it back, but there's no way I can do it. I'll keep it for Mu'er first."

The mother and daughter returned to the back yard together.

Zhu Qing took two maids, Xi Liu and Tong Liu, to cook together.

Now there are no servants in the house, and those who remain are those who used to be close to her and trusted by her.

During lunch, there were both meat and vegetable dishes on the table.

Mu'er smelled the fragrance and said, "Mom, didn't you say you can't eat meat?"

Zhu Qing said angrily: "I clearly said that in front of outsiders, we are observing filial piety and cannot eat meat!"

Mu'er nodded: "I understand, you can eat it at home."

"Mu'er is smart."

Mu'er smiled and said, "Mom, it smells so good."

"It smells good! Mom has saved a lot of personal money. From now on, Mu'er and your eldest brother will have delicious food every day."

Zhu Qing didn't let Mu'er use the chopsticks first, "Go and ask your brother to come over, and your great-grandfather Qiao. He's guarding the front yard. He must be starving too."

Mu'er nodded, got off the bed, took Tong Liu's hand and said, "Auntie, come with me."

Tongliu took her and went to ask people to eat.

Lu Changgong and Qiao Da felt hungry when they smelled the meat.

They were required to observe mourning for three years and not eat meat. At first they really kept it for a while, but by the time of the New Year, no one could stand it anymore.

Qiao Da was not polite, took a cup of pig's trotters and went next door to eat them.

Zhu Qing served Lu Changgong some food, but Lu Changgong said, "Auntie, no need. I'll just eat the same as usual."

"……it is good."

Zhuqing gave Lu Changgong a vegetarian dish.

Lu Changgong also ate happily, "Auntie, Mu'er, I'm going to the study."

"Okay, young master, just concentrate on reading your book. If anything happens, just ask me to come over."

Lu Changgong nodded: "If something happens, I will ask Qianru to come to my aunt."

After he left, Zhu Qing looked at the empty bowl and sighed: "The young master is really a person who values ​​friendship."

It is not false at all to say that he has observed mourning for the elders of the Lu family for three years.

Tongliu and Xiliu both said yes.

Zhu Qing smiled again: "This is what it looks like to achieve great things." He lowered his head and touched Mu'er's face, "In the future, we Mu'er will have someone to rely on."

Mu'er's lips were glossy and smooth after eating.

It wasn't like this before. The child couldn't help but feel hungry. He had only seen meat after such a long time, and his stomach was full of food.

Lin Mansion.

The Lin family has been very lively this year. Ever since Lin Yunyi won the imperial examination, the Lin family has been full of people.

Mrs. Lin looked at the relatives and friends in front of her, and there were many she didn't know at all.

"Who is this……"

A pretty, but very unfamiliar girl.

Mrs. Lin really can’t remember when she saw her.

Her cousin introduced her with a smile: "This is my distant niece, have you forgotten? You hugged this girl when she was two years old. And your Yun Yi also hugged this girl. !”

Mrs. Lin smiled awkwardly: "I really don't remember this."

It happened more than ten years ago, who knows if it is true or not?

The cousin pulled her niece in front of Mrs. Lin and said, "Look at this little girl, she also comes from a scholarly family. I'm not bragging..."

Someone said impatiently: "You should say less! Whose girl hasn't read a book?"

The cousin turned around and glared at each other, almost starting to argue.

Mrs. Lin quickly persuaded her cousin: "Drink tea! Drink tea! This year's new tea, Yun Yi specially asked me to drink it for all my sisters-in-law and aunts."

Mentioning Lin Yunyi, my cousin became more at ease, but her eyes turned quickly, and she said with a smile: "Yunyi, this kid is getting older, and his style is getting bigger. Why don't you come to say hello to your elders during the Chinese New Year?"

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "It's not because I'm afraid of bumping into the girls."

Everyone laughed and said: "We are all a family, there is no conflict."

Mrs. Lin said, "I'll send someone to call him over right now."

There are suddenly so many girls who have not left the palace at the relatives' house. It would be good for Yun Yi to come over and meet them.
