Chapter 125 Lu Shi's Change



Chapter 125 Lu Shi's Change

Mrs. Liu stayed with Shaoqiu for a while, and then went to see Mrs. Lu.

I don't know how she did it. When she left, Lu Shi treated Miss Liu as a lost sister with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Liu also likes Mrs. Lu's honesty and softness very much. The two of them are called sisters. During the meal, Mrs. Lu praised Mrs. Liu several times in front of Shaoqiu.

Shaoqiu was very depressed, but he couldn't tell Lu Shi that Mrs. Liu had just walked away and also took two big boxes of rouge cream from him, hum!Profiteer!

In the next few days, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lu got closer and closer, and Mrs. Lu tended to get closer to Mrs. Liu. During the meal, Mrs. Lu praised Mrs. Liu again.

"Brother Qiu, Mrs. Liu, I used to think it was a bad person who snatched someone to be her son-in-law. I didn't expect that she is very good. She taught me a lot. From now on, you can do what you like to do. This family , Mother must take care of it properly, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Mom, what did she tell you?"

Shao Qiu naturally knew how powerful Mrs. Liu was, but Shao Qiu still didn't expect to be so powerful.

Lu Shi smiled slightly, "I didn't say anything, we worshiped my sister, and she told mother what I didn't know before, and mother has the bottom line."

"Mom, you..." Don't be fooled by that profiteer!

How did Lu Shi know the pain in Shaoqiu's heart?

She kept saying good things for Mrs. Liu, "Look at her, she helped us find so many people to manage this house. These people are all chosen by her, and they are very honest. She taught me how to discipline these people In a few days, they are all obedient to me."

At first, Mrs. Lu was very disturbed, and Shao Qiu could see it, so Shao Qiu took care of the affairs of the mansion by himself. Later, Mrs. Lu took the matter away from him and asked him to rest and do well. What she likes, and she really manages the house properly.

Mrs. Liu has her own way of managing people. She taught Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu was like a dry sponge, absorbing the housekeeping knowledge taught to her by Mrs. Liu, and earnestly asked Mrs. Liu to teach her more characters. .

She set up a study room in the main room, and every day she ordered good things to practice calligraphy and read books by herself in the study room, and she didn't go out for less than an hour. Unpredictable changes had taken place in her whole body. Okay, Shaoqiu never knew that his mother hadn't made such a change, and he was more grateful to Mrs. Liu in his heart.

Fortunately, she was only in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and she would discuss the expenses and income with Shao Qiu, and gradually began to understand, and later asked Shao Qiu for his secret code, so Shao Qiu had to teach Lu Shi one more time, but Shao Qiu used his energy The hint made Lu Shi learn faster than anyone else, and he canceled the hint only after he learned to understand, but Lu Shi still maintained his cleverness and learned quickly.

Shao Qiu felt that this was a family heirloom of their Lu family!In fact, he didn't need to imply that Lu could learn so quickly.

Lu Yuer learns fast, he doesn't know what to think, but Lu's learns fast too, people are different, but their intelligence is the same, Shao Qiu thought that Lu Yuer must have inherited the intelligence of the Lu family, but Lu Erniu did not. arrive!

What's more, Mrs. Lu is no longer so trembling when he sees the money flowing out like water, and coming in like water every day. Gradually, he can use secret codes to match up. Matriarch demeanor.

Shao Qiu saw that Lu Shi was happy, and after observing for a while, Mrs. Liu was indeed teaching Lu Shi's housekeeper sincerely, so Shao Qiu handed over the full power of this family to Lu Shi to manage.

Shaoqiu, Shaoduo, and Li Xiuye ​​practiced seriously day and night. Being in such a place full of energy, they naturally wouldn't waste resources.

Shao Duo and Li Xiuye ​​are progressing very fast. Shao Duo has reached the period of the Great Consummation of Warriors. Li Xiuye ​​doesn't know about it, but his cultivation is unfathomable.

On the contrary, Shao Qiu has been staying in the late stage of the warrior. He feels that he has not found a way to use supernatural powers to practice in this world, and his cultivation is still affected by the exercises.

But it doesn't matter, he has already started to get people to help him make tools for refining medicines. This time, the refining is no longer simply refining medicines and ointments that are good for ordinary people, but to promote them. As for the medicine for cultivation, the instruments he wanted could not be made here, so he could only modify them into usable tools based on the principles of those instruments.

Shaoqiu made one hundred boxes of rouge cream every month for Mrs. Liu, and he kept the rest for his own family, or gave gifts in exchange for gifts, etc. Anyway, it was several times more than what he sold. Planning to sell it to Lady Liu made Lady Liu very depressed and unhappy.

After Mrs. Liu took Mrs. Lu to study for a while, Mrs. Lu began to take Mrs. Lu to various houses.

Although everyone doesn't know who Mrs. Lu is, they know Mrs. Liu. Although Mrs. Liu is a businessman, she can make money. Everyone has more or less business dealings with her, and she holds the rouge that almost all girls love. Gao, everyone respected her, even Lu Shi was also complimented.

Lu Shi had never seen such a situation before, and his palms were sweating.

But she knew that the more she said, the more she would make mistakes, and the less she said, the less mistakes she made. She followed Mrs. Liu closely, watched her act, and followed suit.

Fortunately, Lu Shi was already different from the past, and after her life improved, her thoughts gradually changed, especially when she saw Shaoqiu spending money lavishly.

There were also some troubles, for example, someone heard that Mrs. Lu gave birth to two sons, but they were still as young as a girl, and thought that she must have used a lot of rouge cream, but the whole person was trembling and jealous. Talking about Lu's background, "I was born in the countryside, and I haven't seen much in the world. Maybe I got lucky and made a fortune."

He was born in the countryside, had never seen the world, got lucky and made a windfall, the implication was that Mrs. Lu was a nouveau riche and uneducated.

If it was Lu Shi before, she wouldn't be able to tell that these words were malicious, and she might even think that the other party said such words with a gentle smile, which is meaningless, just talking casually or looking for topics to chat, but after following Mrs. Liu for so long, The talking machine front also communicated for a while, even if he didn't really understand what that person meant, Lu could hear something was wrong.

Before Lu Shi could speak, he frowned slightly, and someone from behind continued, "Is this the first time she has participated in such a tea party? Look at her frivolous hands and feet, so don't lose your interest."

"I heard Mrs. Liu said that she would bring someone to Mrs. Yun's tea party a while ago. I still want to see someone like Mrs. Liu. She must know someone who is very powerful. How do you know...the real person is not showing his face. .” She said with a smile, her tone regretful.

"I heard that Mrs. Liu has divorced? What's going on?"

"It's really courageous for Mrs. Liu to be able to recruit a son-in-law who comes to visit, and to be able to reconcile with each other." The means are not comparable to ordinary people.

"Courage is not courageous, I can't bear it." Mrs. Liu noticed Lu Shi's stiffness here, and walked over to take her hand. Lu Shi's palm was wet with sweat, and she smiled slightly at Lu Shi. "It's just that since we can't get along, are we waiting to suffer? I don't have the forbearance of the two younger sisters. No matter how much my husband spends his time outside, I can forgive him."

Seeing her smile, Mrs. Lu felt a lot more relaxed for some reason.

"If the two younger sisters want to know why I reconciled, you can come and ask me instead of gossiping behind my back."

Those two people had been at odds with Mrs. Liu on weekdays, and someone immediately turned cold, "Oh, who doesn't know that Mrs. Liu's tongue is full of lotus flowers, and Lu Juren was speechless when she said that, and the court had to plead guilty and write a divorce letter." Books? I dare not ask Sister Liu, Sister Liu has always been able to say that black is white."

"That is, back then, you pestered a talented and talented man to be your door-to-door son-in-law. Now that you have children, you just leave him behind. Isn't sister Liu afraid of making people feel chilling by doing this?"

"My sister is wrong. It's not that I made him speechless. It's just the fact that it is so. There is no way to refute it. If the two sisters like Lu Juren so much, it just so happens that I have already reconciled with him. He is dead at this time." One, just wait for someone to let him come to the door, you can recruit him, and I will bless you." Lady Liu's eyes were slightly cold, and she said mercilessly.

She had never shown such an expression in front of Lu Shi. Lu Shi couldn't react for a while, but she knew in her heart that Mrs. Liu was helping herself.

"You, both of them changed their expressions. When Mrs. Liu said this, it was as if they had something to do with Lu Juren. Otherwise, how could they speak for him?

But they didn't even know who Lu Juren was, and they said that just to offend Mrs. Liu. Now that Mrs. Liu said this, they still couldn't say anything to refute. Even if they said it, they would be misunderstood even deeper. Not wanting to continue to make a fuss, he had to glare at Mrs. Liu and leave angrily.

"Why are you talking so much to her? Don't you know that her mouth is always sharp? Why are you asking for trouble?" The two who left held hands, and one looked at the other dissatisfied.

Another person retorted: "I just can't understand her. A merchant woman is still a divorced person. She should be thinking about her mistakes behind closed doors at home. Why should she put herself above the others? Madam Yun is such a noble person. Will a merchant girl be invited to the banquet?"

"Even if she is a merchant girl, don't forget that only she holds rouge cream in her hand! If you offend her, do you still want rouge cream?"

"I ■■■■?_, the voices of the two gradually decreased, and then they stopped speaking.

Lu Shi was terrified, he had never seen such a posture before, and he became more nervous for a while.

Do the wives and young ladies of wealthy families all look like this, as if something has been disillusioned, Lu Shi was at a loss.

"Sister, don't be afraid!" Mrs. Liu patted Lu Shi's hand to comfort her, "Sister doesn't need to be patient with such malicious people, and as you, you don't even need to look at their faces. If you don't refute, They still treat you as a bully and say more, understand?"

Mrs. Lu held Mrs. Liu's hand tightly. Only in this way could she relax a bit. She felt lucky because she followed Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu was also standing by her side. She was always annoyed that she thought she had robbed Lu Yin Shu became a door-to-door son-in-law, and now he realized that it was his misunderstanding, and he felt a little guilty, so he became closer to Mrs. Liu, "I know, Sister Liu! In the future, I may trouble you again." The intimacy and trust in her eyes softened Miss Liu's heart.

"What trouble is it, women? Look at them, all of them think that they are not human beings, but men's belongings, and what men say is what they say? Oh, my lady Liu wants to do it the other way around, men don't have a good thing! From now on, don't trust men's sweet words."

Lu Shi: "..." She felt that her husband was pretty good. Although there was no news from him and he didn't know how to talk sweetly, they were really loving during the time they got married. Although it was hard work, he was very happy.

However, Mrs. Liu is very powerful, and Mrs. Lu doesn't want to refute her.

The words of the few people were sharp for a moment, and soon Mrs. Yun came to take all the guests to the tea room to rest and taste tea.

A group of ladies and ladies entered and left the garden.

Mrs. Lu followed Mrs. Liu closely, and never left herself behind.

Mrs. Liu took Lu Shi to several such banquets. Lu Shi was no longer nervous and afraid. She gradually let go of her hands and feet and was able to communicate with everyone. She has a pleasant voice, is kind, doesn't turn against others, and doesn't gossip about others behind her back. Gradually, she has the demeanor of a woman from an aristocratic family. Even though she is softer and has less etiquette, it makes people feel close, Mrs. Liu I like communicating with Lu Shi more and more.

Lu Shi is like a newborn baby, completely different from those noble girls who have been taught to act and think like noble girls since childhood. She has tried the warmth and coldness of human relationships, endured hunger and cold, and done hard farm work. Gentle and indifferent, with a hint of perseverance.She never looks down on anyone, nor does she go out of her way to cater to others. She likes and dislikes things, and expresses them directly and clearly. Over time, one can see that she behaves in the world, a down-to-earth but not annoying person. Standing out among the noble ladies in Ji County, the bad gossip about her gradually became less and less, gradually gaining a firm foothold and laying a foundation.

As for Mrs. Yun, Xu Jinqu's wife, she took a high look at Mrs. Lu and often asked Mrs. Liu to bring Mrs. Lu to Xu's residence.

I love this kind and generous Lu Shi more and more.

"Sister Lu, I really can't see that you used to do farm work. Look at your face, it looks like an egg that has been peeled off its shell. I'm so young that you are envious. And you have such hands. It's really good."

"I am." Lu Shi smiled, "I never thought that one day I would chat and joke with everyone like this, and it's incredible when I think about it. My hands were rough at first, but they gradually improved. "

"Hey, what a lovely person, with a sweet smile, your husband is really blessed."

When Lu heard the word 'husband', he felt sad, "To tell the truth to my sister, my husband, after serving in the military ten years ago, never came back, and now I don't know whether he is alive or dead."

Mrs. Yun gave a thud, "Here, look at my mouth, I really deserve a slap."

"Sister, don't be like this. In fact, I'm used to it, so I won't be too sad. What's more, my two sons are very filial. With them around, I won't ask for anything."

"All hardships come with rewards, and all hardships come with rewards. After all, my sister is a blessed one."

"However, sister, can you tell me your husband's name? Since he fought in northern Hebei, my husband also stayed in that area. If you know someone, you can ask him to help You look for it."

Lu's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Madam Yun said regretfully: "I don't dare to guarantee it, but if I can help, I will do my best."

"It's okay, it's okay! As long as I'm willing to help, I'll be very happy. Regardless of whether I can find news about him, I'll thank my sister here first. My husband's surname is Shao, and his full name is Shao Ruide. This year is just right."

"Shao Ruide?" Mrs. Yun murmured, why is the name so familiar?

"Well, he left 11 years ago, and there is no news about him until now. They all say that he is dead, but I believe he must be alive somewhere." Lu Shi said.

Mrs. Yun thought for a while, and finally got a shock. Even Mrs. Liu, who had been silent as a vase beside her, stopped shelling the walnuts and raised her eyebrows, as if she heard something incredible.

Lu Shi felt strangely puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Yun came to her senses, regained her composure, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't entertain the two sisters, let's do this for today, I will arrange someone to send the sisters back home, and I will come to the door to apologize someday."

Seeing that Mrs. Yun was really anxious, Mrs. Lu didn't mean to disturb others, "It's okay, if my sister has something to do, let's deal with it first. Sister Liu and I will go back first."

"Enn." Mrs. Yun looked anxious to deal with the matter.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her thoughtfully, but finally said nothing, and left with Mrs. Lu.

When Lu returned home, he heard that Shao Duo, Shao Qiu and Li Xiuye ​​had gone to the patio tree in the backyard again.

She always knew that her three sons liked that patio tree, so she specially arranged tables, chairs, gazebos and gauze there so that no one would disturb them.

Now it is not surprising to hear that they went there again, but ordered someone to cook dinner, and quietly went to the backyard to see the three of them.

The three of them wielded wooden swords in their hands. Except in the morning, they were all in this place at the martial field in the front yard. Lu Shi was very happy today, so he wanted to come and have a look.

"Madam..." The girl Hongxi followed behind Lu Shi, watching Lu Shi silently staring at the young masters, not knowing what she wanted to do.

Mrs. Lu raised her hand to tell her not to continue talking. After watching for a while, she left quietly. At this time, she just heard that she was going to inquire about the news. It is not sure whether there is any news. Mrs. Lu is not going to say this, if Shao Ruide is still alive, so give the children a surprise, if not, the children will not be so disappointed, right?

Lu Shi didn't know, she couldn't wait for surprises, but for bad news.

And she didn't even know that her children would not be surprised. In their lives, there was almost no such father.

Watching Lu Shi leave, the maid behind her glanced at the handsome young masters in the courtyard, and followed her with a blushing face.

Let's say that after Mrs. Lu left, Mrs. Yun went to the study to look for Xu Jinqu with a big news in her heart.

Xu Jinqu went to the government office and hadn't returned yet, so she waited in the study for a whole half day, and even forgot to order dinner, so she just let them do whatever they wanted.

After Xu Jinqu came back, someone came to him and said, "My lord, Madam has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

Xu Jinqu was taken aback, and immediately waved his hand, "I see, you go down first."

After speaking, he headed towards the kitchen.

Xu Jinqu is very satisfied with his wife, unlike other women who have a dignified and virtuous name, who can't understand a word of what they say all day long, or are all unnutritious household chores. He doesn't need to listen, just think about it. feel irritable.

But his daughter-in-law wouldn't, Mrs. Yun would say whatever she wanted, and she would take care of the household chores properly so she wouldn't put him in front of him to bother him, he respected his wife very much.Now that she has been waiting for him in the study for a long time, there must be something important.

Xu Jinqu didn't have time to change his clothes, so he went to the study in the official suit, and saw a crimson figure standing in the study, "What's wrong? You're waiting for me in the study all of a sudden?"

"My husband." Mrs. Yun walked over, "I, I heard some news. After thinking about it, it's better to tell you. I'm really anxious, and I don't know if the news is true or not."

Mrs. Yun knew what kind of person her husband was, and she would not hide it immediately, but told what she said to Lu Shi today, as well as her own guess.

"What you want to say is that Lu Shi's husband is Shao Ruide?"

Mrs. Yun nodded and looked at Xu Jinqu, but the other party didn't respond at all, "Sir, this matter is very important."

"I've known about this for a long time, the higher-ups have already made arrangements, so you don't have to worry." Mrs. Yun's eyes widened, but she breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, if I hadn't seen Sister Lu being kind and soft-tempered, She is also very straightforward when she speaks. I really don't know how to bring her to the house to talk to... Hey, I really don't understand. Sister Lu is such a good wife and has two sons. Why doesn't that person know how to cherish her? Still doing such a thing? I heard Mrs. Liu said before that after he left, Sister Lu had been tortured so badly by the conscientious Shao family. She had suffered so much. If Sister Lu knew about this, she would still I don’t know why I’m so sad? The one named Shao is simply, simply a beast!”

Madam Yun was filled with righteous indignation, and Xu Jinqu patted her on the back, "Since he dared to do such a thing, he will be punished. Don't worry, senior brother has already made arrangements, and he will not be allowed to get away with it!"

"But, Sister Lu? She finally..." Mrs. Yun couldn't bear it when she thought of that lovely person. She had already suffered so much, her life was finally getting better, and her son was also outstanding. Such a mess, I really don't know what will happen to her.

"It's his fault for this matter. Mrs. Lu will not suffer, and she will be compensated." Xu Jinqu comforted Mrs. Yun as much as possible.

"I know that my husband is right, but no matter how much compensation, how can it compare to the pain in my heart? Sister Lu still believes that her husband will go back. She has waited for 11 years and suffered for [-] years. If, if she knew..."

"Don't think about it too much. Individuals have their own destiny. If you can't see it, go talk to her more and untie her. What's more, doesn't she have two sons?

Looking at her two sons now, they are extraordinary. "Xu Jinqu thought of what Qin Chu had said to him, and sighed in his heart. After all, such a person is not comparable to ordinary people like them.

"Extraordinary? It must be good enough to be praised so much by your husband. As for Sister Lu..." Mrs. Yun also knew that no matter how worried she was, this matter was still out of her control, so she could only say helplessly: "It has to be like this."

"Okay, let's go to eat! It's almost dark, if you don't go to eat, your body won't be able to bear it."

Madam Yun's face was blushing, "I see, the food should be ready. I'll help you wash up first, and we'll go eat together later. Sister Lan has been looking forward to your coming, and I can't let Sister Lan down again today." gone."

"En." Xu Jinqu responded lightly.

There is his change of clothes in the study, and sometimes he will rest in the study, and it is convenient to change and wash all the clothes here.

"By the way, Brother Ying also sent a letter, saying that it is very good in the academy! This kid always announces good news but not bad news. Every time he writes, he says yes. I don't know what happened. I don't even know that he is in the academy. Is it really good or not, hey, how can you not worry!" "Since he said it's okay, it's okay! He's not a child anymore, he should be a man!" Xu Jinqu said indifferently, the Xu family has always I think that boys need to be raised strictly, otherwise they will be useless, while girls need to be pampered, and I don’t want to let them eat even a little bit of hardship.

All the men in the Xu family love their daughters like their own lives, and regard their sons like a horse. If a woman needs a delicate man, she will suffer.

Mrs. Yun didn't like this, "What's not a child, he's only 13 years old. It's time to see him."

Mrs. Yun couldn't help but mention it.

Xu Jinqu refused, "There is no rush, I have my own arrangements."

Mrs. Yun paused as she dressed Xu Jinqu, nodded and said, "I know, brother Ying is our son, I believe you will think about him, my husband."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Jinqu suddenly lost his temper.

Mrs. Yun shook her heart, and said: "I mean, if you dare to wrong Brother Ying, I will never end with you! What kind of man has to endure hardships to grow up, look at what you said, how can you throw your son out of."

"Still flirting with me?" Xu Jinqu smiled in his eyes, "It's just his brat, still wronged? I should be thankful that he won't let others be wronged."

Mrs. Yun gave him a sideways look, not wanting to quarrel with him about raising her son, and brought up other topics, "If Sister Lu can get through this test, she will surely enjoy a lot of happiness in the future." Has her son."

"Well, I hope so, well, get dressed, let's go eat!"

"En..." Xu Jinqu didn't tell Mrs. Yun that if he wanted to bring down General Shao in this matter, Lu Shi would be the key, but he didn't know Lu's attitude yet, so Xu Jinqu had no choice but to not mention it.

Everything is just waiting for the start of the plan, no matter what Lu's attitude is, this time, General Shao will definitely be peeled off by them, otherwise they will not be able to get rid of the pain in his heart.
