"Dad, where's mine?" Lu Chao came back to his senses and asked.

Lu Youping: "What is yours?"

"New Year's money?" Lu Chao looked at him with his eyes widened, and he asked confidently.

Lu Youping gave Lu Chao a meaningful look: "We've been married for two years, and you still have the nerve to ask for lucky money. Where's your face?"

Lu Chao: "..."

Dad, you are going too far.

Just talk, why do you engage in personal attacks?

Don't I want to lose face?

"Grandma gave it all," Lu Chao said.

"So you just have some fun, or else you'll go back?"

It was given to the daughter because they were not married and were still children.

It was given to my daughter-in-law because she managed the household well and made a lot of money running the Lu family together with Lu Xiang.

As for the son...

Just stay where it's cool.

Lu Chao: "..."

Huh, so love will disappear, right?

I am no longer the kid who made you look good by passing the Jinshi exam?

Everyone had breakfast together at Fuyuantang, and then Lu Youping left the house carrying the New Year gifts to pay New Year greetings to Shangfeng.

Lu Qiao took the box back to her Haitang Courtyard and opened it eagerly. What she saw was rows of neatly arranged silver ingots. The feeling of hearing it was different from seeing it with her own eyes. At this moment, she could understand it more intuitively.

Feel the excitement.

hiss--

"Dad is so generous this year."

Qiu Ying also stared blankly at the box of silver in front of her, so shocked that she could almost stuff an egg into her mouth: "Miss Sixth, this...how much silver is there?"

"Counting?"

Qiu Ying nodded, and the master and servant stood next to each other and counted the silver ingots in the box...

After a while, Lu Qiao breathed out softly:

"Huo, one hundred taels..."

After being stunned for a moment, she then took out the red envelope given by the old lady and took out a banknote inside, with five hundred taels written on the face.

Qiu Ying's eyes widened: "Miss Sixth, you've lost your temper!"

You must know that her master's monthly salary is only thirty taels a month, and this has already increased compared to the past.

This morning is almost a monthly pattern for two years.

But no more.

Gudong!

Lu Qiao swallowed her saliva and quietly settled the accounts in her mind. She is fourteen this year and will have a hairpin next year. Judging from the amount of New Year's money this year, next year will not be less. If not, she will not be able to get married until the year after next. Another year

New Year's money... and a lot of dowry have been saved.

"Qiu Ying, quickly put it away in the locked cabinet." Lu Qiao said.

Qiuying smiled and responded: "Yes, miss."

After counting the money, Lu Qiao took out the gift Lu Xiang gave her. When she opened it, she saw that it was a pair of twisted gold and jade earrings. She immediately put them on, shook her head and asked Qiu Ying: "Qiu Ying, look at mine."

How about earrings?"

Qiuying smiled and nodded: "It looks good!"

Lu Qiao was very happy and ran to Qixiayuan to find Lu Xiang.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Jingru returned to her parents' home, and the second daughter of the Lu family, Lu Yao, also returned to the Lu family.

The second uncle, Zhou Huaicheng, accompanied him.

The servants unloaded the gifts from the carriage, and the two of them went to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.

Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao kept company.

For a while, the room was filled with laughter and laughter. Zhou Huaicheng sat silently aside, but his eyes fell on Lu Xiang from time to time, filled with surprise and greed.

It's been a long time since I've seen the girl. She's like a slowly blooming flower, revealing her unique beauty little by little.

The girl's face is fair and tender, her skin is as white as snow, she is lightly painted with powder, her eyes are warm and phoenix-shaped, her eyebrows are picturesque, her long black hair is tied into a flowing bun, and she is decorated with crystal-embellished pearl tassels and a hairpin, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.

.

Lu Xiang felt Zhou Huaicheng's evil gaze, her brows were furrowed, and there was a cold look in her eyes.

Her second sister is still sitting nearby, how dare this bitch look at her like this?

I really want to dig out his eyes.

Lu Yao and Zhou Huaicheng stayed in Lu Mansion for a day and left after dinner.

Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao sent them out and watched the carriage drive away.

It wasn't until the carriage was out of sight that the two of them entered the house together. Lu Qiao's original smile suddenly disappeared, and his face was filled with anger and disgust.

Lu Xiang was stunned by her sudden change of expression.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Qiao looked at Lu Xiang and gritted his teeth and said: "Third sister, when you meet the second brother-in-law in the future, you should stay away. The second brother-in-law has gone too far. He keeps looking at you with malicious eyes and doesn't care about the second brother-in-law at all.

Sister, he doesn’t show his virtue by peeing, but he dares to look like this, it’s simply shameless and disgusting.”

As she spoke, her eyes widened, almost out of anger.

After Lu Xiang was stunned, he smiled softly.

"good."

Lu Qiao: "Don't laugh, take my words seriously, do you hear me?"

"I heard it."

"Oh, I'm so angry. I never noticed before that the second sister actually married such a person." Zhou Huaichen looked at the third sister so unscrupulously in front of the second sister, which shows that he may not take the second sister seriously.

This kind of pervert with a lot of fodder in his head doesn't know how to seduce the little maid behind the back of the second sister in the Zhou family.

The second sister is so pitiful.

Lu Xiang pursed her lips slightly, but in the end she didn't say much. She just smiled and said: "No matter what, the Lu family is the second sister's support. If Zhou Huaicheng dares to bully the second sister, the Lu family will never let him go."

.”

In the end, Zhou Huaicheng didn't want to set his sights on her, otherwise he would kill him even if he was his brother-in-law.

After that, Lu Youping went to the family every day to pay New Year greetings.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the Qiao family held a banquet and invited the old lady and others.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the Lu family also hosted a banquet for the Qiao family and the Zhou family. Lu Xiang also invited He Zhiyan. To his surprise, he saw He Zhimin stalking over.

A few days later, I received an invitation from the palace. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Cheng De held a banquet and invited officials of fifth rank and above to bring their families to the palace for the banquet.

The old lady also entered the palace together.

On the 15th, at the gate of Lu Mansion, two carriages were lined up, simple yet exquisite.

The old lady led everyone to the gate.

Lu Chao and Qiao Jing were riding in a carriage, while Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao were riding in a carriage with the old lady.

Because it was a dinner party, we set off in the evening. When we arrived at the palace gate, it was already dark. Officials from various families had arrived one after another with their families. Looking around, we saw a field of red flowers and green willows, with birds and birds swallowing, and all the rich ladies were busy.

At first glance, they thought that the emperor was going to draft a talent show, but everyone knew that among the emperor's princes, there were still three princes who did not have their first concubines. Originally, the seventh prince had already chosen his first concubine, but then

Wasn't the Su family confiscated and exiled? Naturally, the position of the concubine became vacant.

If you step back ten thousand steps, you will not be able to take the position of the main concubine, but you will also have the side concubine.

The concubine of the royal family is also extremely noble.

If you can be favored at the palace banquet, you will become a phoenix.

There are also many people who secretly hope that they can be accused of the Eighth Prince Chu Jinyan...
