Chapter 50 She is the hidden decision maker of the Lu family
When the Lu family came back before, although the battle was huge, there were still many people in the village waiting to see their family's jokes.
But the arrival of the Wang family made them aware of the situation.
There were loads of gifts, many of which they had never heard of before. If you ask anyone knowledgeable, you will know that the prices are sky-high.
Qian Xing, a rich man in the village, runs a pastry shop in his family, which already has three branches in the county. He usually lives in the city, and he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Lu Shouchang during the Lantern Festival, so he brought his wife and daughter back.
My daughter disliked the countryside and sat in the carriage at the end of the village, refusing to get off.
Qian Xing was invited by Li Zheng and the village chief to accompany Lu Shouchang and had no time to pay attention to her.
Everyone was toasting Lu Shouchang, and they were drinking happily. When they heard that the guests from the Lu family were from the Wang family in the capital, Lu Shouchang got up immediately.
The village chief and Li Zheng were afraid that Lu Shouchang and his wife were leaving, so they quickly said that Lu Yunhong and his wife were at home and wanted to keep them eating and drinking.
Lu Shou saw people surrounding him and knew he couldn't leave for a while, so he sat down firmly, thinking that the Wang family might be worried and took the opportunity to return the gift to see his daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, after just two bites, several fast-talking women ran up to them and said, "Uncle Lu, it's Yun Hong's uncle who is here, ranked fifth."
"I'm a good boy and brought over a dozen cartloads of gifts. There were also gifts from the Princess's Mansion and the East Palace. The gift list was so long. I handed it to Yun Hong without even looking through it."
The people next to me couldn't help but ask: "What are they?"
The woman said: "I heard that their housekeeper Qin was checking the accounts. The eldest princess sent two boxes of ancient books, two boxes of antiques, and one box of jade jewelry. Mrs. Wang gave more, but there were many names of medicinal materials, except for ginseng and bird's nest.
, we can’t understand anything else. What’s more, the gifts from the five young ladies of the Wang family are incredible. They include pieces of cloth and satin, gold and silver threads, brocade vests, and twenty sets of ready-made clothes.”
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, please go back and take a look. I was so dazzled watching Butler Qin check the accounts."
Everyone laughed in envy and wanted to go and have a look, but there were too many people and they couldn't open their mouths.
On the contrary, when Li Zheng and the village chief heard that someone from the Wang family was coming, they asked Lu Shouchang what official position the fifth son of the Wang family held in the capital. They also wanted to prepare a gift to meet him.
Lu Shouchang knew that these people wanted to find out the background of the Wang family, so he said: "You know, the Imperial College, it is the number one university in Dayan."
Everyone quickly bowed their heads and said, "I know, I know."
How could you not know this? Anyone who has a child studying at home wouldn’t dream of entering the Imperial College?
Even if you just take a look, a place like that is not accessible to ordinary people.
Lu Shouchang stroked his neatly groomed mustache and said: "This is the fifth brother of the Wang family, the fifth brother of Yun Hong's wife. He is the secretary of the Imperial College, equivalent to the master of the Imperial College, and is responsible for teaching the students of the Imperial College.
.”
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.
They think the Wang family behaves like a nouveau riche, why... they still seem to be from a scholarly family?
Qian Xing was shocked. Seeing that he was next to Lu Shouchang, this opportunity did not come often. He quickly asked: "According to Brother Lu, the fifth son of the Wang family is a powerful person. I wonder if the other children of the Wang family are also the same?"
Everyone was looking around, holding their breath and concentrating. Whoever dared to murmur aloud at this time would immediately be met with blank stares from those around him.
Soon, Lu Shouchang was heard saying: "This is where Wang Jiaqiang is strong."
"Let me talk about my in-laws first. He was born in the imperial examination and has solid knowledge. My wife is from a well-known family and is gentle and kind. No, the children raised by the couple are first-class and outstanding."
"Except for the Wu Lang who came today, the other Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Lang all hold important positions in the court, and they are all married to daughters of famous families. There is no discord between the sisters-in-law, so naturally they are all good to my sister-in-law."
"Okay, it's time for me to go back and take a look. Wulang has come from afar. Even though I am an elder, I don't want to miss him."
Everyone had been stunned for a long time. Their heads had not turned around yet. They only knew to step away subconsciously. What else could they ask?
On the other hand, Li Zheng and the village chief looked at each other. Previously, they had been trying to please Lu Shouchang but ignored Wang Xiu.
According to Lu Shouchang, the influence of the Wang family has spread throughout the court, so Wang Xiu is the hidden decision-maker of the Lu family!
No wonder they said that after coming to Qingquan Village, Lu Shouchang and his wife felt like they didn't care much. So what's the truth?
At the same time, Qian Xing stood up.
He pretended to help Lu Shouchang. On the surface, he seemed to be afraid that Lu Shouchang would fall down after drinking, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to visit Lu's house.
Not to mention that people who do business are relatively tactful and respond quickly.
Seeing this, Li Zheng quickly stretched out his hand to hold Lu Shouchang's other arm.
The village chief, who had no idea what to do, looked at them: "..."
Lu Shou often couldn't move his hands and couldn't laugh or cry.
However, after drinking two glasses of wine, he was indeed a little dizzy, so he let them go.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Lu's house, Qian Yunrou, who was huddled there to watch the excitement with the villagers, her eyes lit up, she came over and shouted: "Dad."
She thought her father was related to the Lu family, and she was feeling proud, but her father said impatiently: "What are you doing here?"
"go back!"
Qian Yunrou had never been yelled at by her father like this before. Qian Yunrou's eyes turned red instantly, and there were many people watching the excitement around, and she was not the only one.
Mrs. Chen was surrounded by two women, one of whom was Qian Yunrou's biological mother, Mrs. Ma. Seeing her husband's actions, Mrs. Ma quickly squeezed to Mrs. Chen's side and held her arm with her rich look.
Chen's hand.
When she saw her daughter, she said, "Yunrou, your father is not free. Why don't you go to the car and wait for us?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen quickly said: "Call her in. Follow you, don't get lost."
Ma pretended to be embarrassed and said, "How can this be done?"
Mrs. Chen said: "Go in and have a cup of tea and grab some candies for the children to eat."
After Ma heard this, he said to Qian Yunju: "Why don't you follow up quickly?"
Qian Yunrou felt happy. Before following her, she turned to look at the little girls who were about the same age as her.
Look, only she can enter the Lu family.
In the courtyard of the Lu family, there were boxes and boxes of valuables. Seeing Lu Shouchang coming back, Butler Qin quickly stepped forward to support him.
Qian Xing and Li Zheng walked around the yard and counted them secretly.
Because the Wang family's guards and the coachman were all resting in the yard, and they also saw them.
The group stood up and saluted Lu Shouchang and his wife. The formation was even more solemn and orderly than when the county government was in session.
Li Zheng and Qian Xing felt on pins and needles for a moment, and they hurriedly said goodbye.
As soon as they left, Ma and the other woman couldn't stay any longer, so they left too.
Qian Yunrou was so frightened that she hid behind her parents. When she left, she couldn't help but poke her head. As a result, she saw a box opened and a jade bonsai inside came into view. She almost screamed in surprise.
Just then, her mother took her away.
Darling, did the Lu family dig up a treasure?
Qian Yunrou thought about it with lingering fear.
Lu Shouchang and his wife did not go to see Wang Man. They first went back to the main room to change clothes, and then the servants came back to report that the fifth master of the Wang family was here.
Soon, Wang Man, accompanied by Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu, formally met with Lu Shouchang and his wife.
