236: Extraneous things are not important
There is a huge difference between the prince's concubine and the prince's concubine.
Given the status of the Liu family, Yao'er will be at least a noble concubine in the future. If Concubine Shu and the second prince are willing, it is not impossible to let the first wife die of illness and make Yao'er the queen.
But these are all empty talk...
Humph, her daughter won't get anything good, and she won't be as good as Aunt Qiu and her daughter.
Lu family
Qiao Jingru returned to the Qiao family. Now Lu Xiang is in charge of the Lu family. Lu Youping heard that his mother-in-law came to report that the fourth lady wanted to let the people who were originally serving in Mingjiao Court go back. Lu Youping left the matter to Lu Xiang.
.
Early the next morning, several women and maids stood in the courtyard of Mingjiao Courtyard.
The warm breeze blows, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh vegetation.
Lu Mingzhu has regained her strength, but her face is more swollen than yesterday. After looking in the mirror for a long time, she was so angry that she dropped the mirror and hid in the house without going out to see anyone.
Huamei and Lan Qiu didn't want to show off their pig-headed faces and make people laugh, so they asked Luye to settle the people down. Anyway, what they did in Mingjiao Courtyard before, they are still doing now.
Lu Mingzhu asked Luye to call Mother Qin.
Mother Qin knocked on the door: "Miss Fourth..."
Lu Mingzhu heard Qin's mother's voice and asked her to enter the house.
"Miss Fourth is looking for a slave?"
Lu Mingzhu leaned on the head of the bed, nodded and said, "Well, my slave has just returned to Mingjiao Courtyard. I'm afraid he might be upset and I can't leave the house for the time being. Please help me keep a closer eye on him."
Qin's mother lowered her head and responded: "Thanks to the Fourth Miss's respect, I will definitely live up to the Fourth Miss's expectations."
Lu Mingzhu smiled with satisfaction, but he hissed in pain when he pulled the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Did Dad tell you whether you can leave the yard?"
Qin's mother said: "The master has left this matter to the third lady. The third lady said that one person can go out of our courtyard every day, but not the house."
When Lu Mingzhu heard that Lu Xiang was in charge of the whole house, her expression became gloomy: "Okay, I understand. If anyone is restless, just kick him out."
"If the Fourth Miss said this, then the slave can let go. Among the people who came back this time, there are two missing maids: a mother-in-law and two maids. The Third Miss has added new people. The slave will watch them carefully. Huamei and Lan
Qiu and the others are seriously injured, so they should rest for a few days, and I will take care of the entire Mingjiao Courtyard."
"Okay, I don't worry about you doing your job, go ahead."
Did the three people who left think that she had become a cold place and not worth coming back?
Humph, there will always be times when they regret it.
Qin's mother nodded: "Yes, I will retire. Third Miss, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
A few days later, Xiao Muheng sent a betrothal gift and decided to accept Lu Mingzhu on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month.
Two mahogany boxes were placed in the courtyard of Mingjiao Yuan, looking very shabby.
Lu Mingzhu's nose felt sore and her eyes were red as she looked at it.
This betrothal gift is too little.
And the box doesn't look too big.
Huamei and Lan Qiu's faces didn't look any better either. Although their faces were swollen a lot, the bruises hadn't gone away and they looked a bit ferocious.
Qin's mother quickly comforted her and said softly: "Don't be sad, fourth lady, because the rules and etiquette of concubinage are there. If it is too high-profile, it will cause slander, and the Liu family will not be able to deal with it."
Huamei thought about it and felt that what Qin's mother said made sense: "Miss, Qin's mother is right."
Lu Mingzhu wiped her eyes and looked like she was bearing the humiliation: "I don't care how much the betrothal gift is, as long as Brother Heng has me in his heart, these external things are not important."
Yes, she wasn't feeling aggrieved because of the small betrothal gift.
What a shame that after her mother died, all her things were transferred to the father-in-law. She didn't even know what dowry her mother had prepared for her. Now Lu Xiang is in charge of the Lu family. If the little bitch hates herself so much, he will prepare something for her.

Lu Xiang came to see the old lady about Lu Mingzhu's dowry.
"Grandma, the fourth sister has decided to enter the house on the tenth day of May. Today the Xiao family sent a betrothal gift. Let me ask grandma how to prepare her dowry?"
When the old lady heard about Lu Mingzhu, her brows couldn't help but jump.
"Even if you are a concubine, just follow the rules."
Lu Xiang blinked, looking confused.
After a pause, the old lady remembered that her precious granddaughter was only fifteen this year and had not yet passed her birthday, so how could she know what the rules of concubinage were.
"Leave this matter to Mother Wen," the old lady said.
Lu Xiang showed a cute smile and nodded: "Okay, if there is anything Mama Wen needs my help with, just ask."
Mother Wen replied happily: "Yes."
The old lady said with an unkind expression: "It's just to be someone's concubine, how troublesome can it be."
"Then shall we have a banquet?"
"No need, the Lu family has a daughter who is a concubine and a merchant. It's really embarrassing." The old lady said angrily.
Although the concubines of the Lu family are not allowed to marry high, it is not difficult to find a well-matched wife to marry. Lu Mingzhu herself has no shame, is it possible that the Lu family wants to give her glory?
Bah, she can't afford to lose this person.
Even if the second girl becomes someone's stepmother, she is still a serious wife. The Zhou family's background was higher than that of the Lu family.
She is really a daughter raised from an outsider, so shameless.
When the old lady said this, Lu Xiang really gave up and let Wen's mother prepare for Lu Mingzhu's marriage.
When Lu Mingzhu learned that her marriage was arranged by a slave, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She lay on the bed and cried again. She scolded the old lady for being too deceitful, and said harsh words to make these people look good to her when she turned over.
Qin's mother was too lazy to go into the room to comfort her. She just pretended that she didn't hear her and let her cry.
Lu Mingzhu wanted to see Lu Youping and asked him to make the decision for her. When her words reached the front yard, Lu Youping scolded her and told her to settle down before getting married and stop messing around, otherwise she would be kicked out of the Lu family.
When Lu Mingzhu thought about Lu Yue being kicked out of the Lu family, she was so frightened that she just cried and didn't dare to make any more trouble.
Similarly, Liu Anyao's wedding date has also been set. On May 28th, the Liu family is also busy preparing for the wedding.
Xiao Muheng dared to snub Lu Mingzhu, but he did not dare to deal with the Liu family, so the betrothal gift was a full fifty-eight carries, carried all the way from the street to the Liu family, which earned him a lot of envy and jealousy from others, and also made Liu Xiang feel dissatisfied with Xiao Muheng.
A lot has been eliminated.
As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, Madam Liu had prepared a generous dowry for her early in preparation for her daughter to marry high in the future. Now even if she married low, Madam Liu did not want her daughter to be wronged.
It's just that the dowry can be prepared early, but the wedding dress is not. Mrs. Liu is thinking about her daughter getting married in glory. After the marriage is arranged, she will find the best embroiderer in the capital to make the most gorgeous wedding dress for her. Time is running out now, so she doesn't know.
Can you make a satisfactory wedding dress?
