When Lu Yunhong came back from the palace, it was already dark.
The moon is hanging high, echoing the bright lights of the Lu family, plus the two baskets of tribute pears and moon cakes he brought back, as if today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wang Xiu put the rice in the yard. She had already eaten and watched Lu Yunhong eat.
Lu Yunhong first took a pear to eat, pointed to the cage not far away, and said: "The thank-you gifts from the Emperor and the Queen are inside. Go and open them."
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, and as he walked over, he muttered: "What is this mysterious thing?"
Saying that, he stepped forward and opened it.
As a result, there were two big pumpkins inside, one green and one yellow.
Wang Xiugang wanted to ask, why pumpkin?
But when she looked back at Lu Yunhong, she saw Lu Yunhong smiling and saying, "Is it big enough? I borrowed two baskets of pears to avoid arousing suspicion, but the eunuchs who were carrying it were almost crying from exhaustion."
"What's the meaning?"
"Isn't it a real pumpkin?"
Wang Xiu was stunned and reached out to touch it!
Good guy, it feels metallic and cool, not a real pumpkin!
She patted it hard and found that the heavy thing was actually solid.
When he wanted to pick it up again, Lu Yunhong stood up quickly and said, "Don't move, it's very heavy!"
Wang Xiu looked back again, with stars in his eyes, and exclaimed in disbelief: "The sky is not gold, right?"
Lu Yunhong smiled and said: "What do you think? Isn't it gold, or something? Jade carvings can't be so rough!"
Wang Xiu looked at the pumpkin again and found that the texture was very rough, as rough as a real pumpkin, so she really thought they were two pumpkins at first glance.
"Pure gold, how much does it weigh?"
"The Emperor and the Queen are so willing to give up!"
Wang Xiu said, but couldn't help but touch it.
Lu Yunhong said: "It is painted and will be used as an ornament later. Such a big golden pumpkin is very rare on the market. I heard that the emperor specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it, just to thank you."
"Those who are rewarded on the surface must be recorded in the file. Other aristocratic families will make reference in the future. After all, there is no new idea. Only these two, there is no other pair in the whole capital."
Wang Xiu looked at the box and cage, and for a moment he didn't know where to hide it.
She said to Lu Yunhong: "When the Queen is pregnant with her second child, I will go into the palace to deliver the baby. Do you think you can get two winter melons out?"
Lu Yunhong choked on the juice of the pear, and his face turned red.
He said to Wang Xiu: "Winter melon? How dare you think about it! You would have to use a horse-drawn carriage to drag it away. I won't move it anyway."
Wang Xiu held her chin and said distressedly: "Then I will give the emperor a hint next time and continue to give two pumpkins?"
The corner of Lu Yunhong's mouth twitched and he said calmly: "You should make it clear, no need to hint!"
Wang Xiu's eyes sparkled and she said: "I'll make it clear, anyway, I like money!"
Lu Yunhong remembered that when the emperor asked him to move the pumpkins, he froze on the spot.
The emperor just raised his head and said, "You move it, it's not for you."
At that time, he could tell that there was a hint of pride in the emperor's tone, as if he knew Axiu best.
He also felt that Axiu loved money very much, as if the little nest where she lived was filled with gold, one grain after another, shining like gold, and she was extremely satisfied lying in it.
Looking at it now, it’s true!
After dinner, Wang Xiu asked Lu Yunhong to move two large solid pumpkins into the room and put them under the bed.
She hasn't thought about where to put these two things yet. She must not put these two things on the shelf because it is too heavy. If it takes a long time, she is afraid that the shelf will be crushed. It is not impossible to put it in the warehouse.
But looking at the paint color painted on the pumpkin, I wonder if it was a waste?
But Axiu thought about it and suddenly said: "Lu Yunhong, your annual salary is not as much as a pumpkin like mine, right?"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
He silently pressed the position on his chest and felt a little pain!
But then, Axiu said again: "So you go out early and come back late every day, do you still rely on me to support you?"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
He covered his face with his hands and didn't want to say a word!
But suddenly, the little goblin jumped into his arms, held his face with his hands, came up and pecked him, and said with satisfaction: "It's okay, I'm happy to raise you."
Lu Yunhong couldn't laugh or cry, he put his arms around her waist, felt her bulging belly, and warned: "It's almost time to go to bed. Don't you like staying up late the most?"
Wang Xiu lay down and said a little discouraged: "I don't like staying up late, but who can sleep with two big golden pumpkins?"
"It's pure gold, and it's solid!"
"It's so big, there are still two of them!"
"As long as I think about whether it's gold, solid, or a big pumpkin, I get more and more excited. When I get excited, I even want to kiss your eyelashes. How can I sleep?"
Lu Yunhong's eyelashes trembled, and laughter echoed in his chest.
After laughing for a while, Axiu kissed him again, from his eyelashes to the bridge of his nose, from his mouth to his chin, and then to his collarbone...
Lu Yunhong hugged her head and said, "Axiu, don't you have anything else to do today? For example, how much are the expenses of the mansion today? Please tell me!"
Lu Yunhong's voice became lower and lower, his Adam's apple rolled, and he looked uncomfortable.
Although Wang Xiu likes to tease, she never likes to take responsibility. She immediately lay down and thought about it: "Today's expenses are the same as usual, except that I spent six taels more to buy groceries. It was just for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It’s not too much.”
"By the way, there is something I really forgot to tell you today."
Lu Yunhong breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Xiudao: "That's Mei Min. Hasn't her confinement period expired? She went to see Princess Yanyang, saying that Gao Xian plotted against her and wanted to destroy the relationship between Princess Yanyang and Gao Xian, right?"
"I think she will succeed. Princess Yanyang doesn't have deep feelings for Gao Xian and is easily influenced by others."
Lu Yunhong spread his hands and said calmly: "The problem is not with Princess Yanyang, but with Gao Xian. You said that Princess Yanyang is easily influenced by others, so why can't that person be Gao Xian?"
"The key to this matter is, what does Gao Xian think?"
Wang Xiu asked Lu Yunhong: "Then what do you think Gao Xian will do if he finds out?"
Lu Yunhong shook his head.
Wang Xiu said in surprise: "You don't know? I thought you knew everything!"
Lu Yunhong laughed, but quickly explained: "It's not that I don't know, I just don't want to think about it."
"Why am I bothering so much about this couple's affairs? You have asked me to pay more attention to Chengxi's studies. How can I have time to think about all that nonsense?"
"Besides, I can help Gao Xian this time, but what about next time? I can't let Princess Yanyang fall in love with a man she thinks she is, but in fact, he is another man!"
Wang Xiu was stunned and said: "What do you mean? You can make Princess Yanyang fall in love with Gao Xian, but if she falls in love with that person, it may not be true Gao Xian?"
Lu Yunhong nodded: "That's almost it."
Wang Xiu immediately disliked it and said: "Then you'd better leave it alone. You are so good at attacking people's hearts. What if Princess Yanyang turns around and likes you? I can't bear to let you go!"
Lu Yunhong immediately snorted: "I'm good at attacking people's minds, but I haven't managed to charm you into a fascination. What are you saying about letting me out? I think you just want to make me angry on purpose!"
Wang Xiu pulled his shoulder and said seriously: "Why didn't you fall? Wouldn't it fall down now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she rested her head on his shoulder, looking like she was unconscious.
Lu Yunhong was so angry and funny that he gently stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and then he said, "Don't talk nonsense next time, and don't interfere with their affairs anymore. If my guess is right, Mei Min should have
action."
Wang Xiu suddenly got up again and asked, "What is she going to do?"
Lu Yunhong glanced at her and said nothing, but his eyes were slightly cold.
The meaning was very clear, let her leave it alone.
Wang Xiu felt depressed and leaned back obediently, muttering: "Can't I pour it again?"
"snort!"
"I was charmed by Mr. Lu twice in one night. Mr. Lu is really capable!!"
Lu Yunhong: "..." He's so arrogant, it's better to scold him directly!
Lu Yunhong sighed and turned around. He was just about to hug him and say a few soft words. Who knew that Axiu pushed him away without forgetting to refuse: "Get out!"
