The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 33
The carriage didn't stop when it reached the entrance of Lu's Mansion, and went directly from the side door to the second door. Only then did Madam Qiu lead Xiao Mingzhu to change to the small green-curtained oil truck for transportation in the mansion, and slowly entered the main courtyard.Xiao Mingzhu got off the small oil truck, and Xiao Mingzhu followed Mother Qiu into the West Hall from Chaoshou Verandah.A few little girls who were sitting on the railing playing at the entrance of the hall came up to greet them, and one ran in to pass them on.

The west hall was very lively, Mrs. Lu's daughters-in-law were all there, as soon as Xiao Mingzhu came in, the hall fell silent, and all eyes focused on Xiao Mingzhu.The youngest lady laughed: "Mother, this is the eldest girl of the General's Mansion, she is really a good person."

Xiao Mingzhu felt that they were scrutinizing her, and she didn't take it to heart at all, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Lu graciously.

Both Zheng Shi and Lu Shi looked at Xiao Mingzhu with tangled gazes. The little girl in front of her was walking around in a graceful manner, her skirt was stable, her hairpin rings were motionless, and her every move was impeccably perfect when saluting. If I didn't know it in advance, I would never believe that this is a girl who grew up far away in Xin'an, without the guidance of female elders around her.

Surprise is surprise, but dislike is still dislike.

Two days ago, the mother-in-law called the two of them in front of her and said that Xiao Mingzhu from the General's Mansion was very nice, and asked the two of them to meet and then discuss whether to promise it to the second brother or the fourth brother.

At the moment, the Zheng family and the Lu family are very unhappy, not to mention that the female family members of the civil servants and generals are not in the same social circle. There are many military generals who marry girls from the Wenchen family, but almost no civil servants are willing to marry the daughters of the military generals. .

Furthermore, the mother-in-law and Mrs. Xu are on good terms, and they more or less knew something about the general's mansion back then.That Lin's is jealous and cruel, Xiao Huai'en is a favoritist, and Xiao Mingzhu is frail, who would want such a daughter-in-law.

But in front of their mother-in-law, neither of them dared to refuse. They wanted to see Xiao Mingzhu to see if they could find something wrong to make her mother-in-law change her mind, or push Xiao Mingzhu to her son-in-law.

Mrs. Lu beckoned Xiao Mingzhu to go, took her hand and explained to her the people next to her: "These are some aunts of your Lu family." Then she pointed to the youngest lady and said: "This is your Lu family." My little aunt."

Mrs. Xu and Aunt Qiao had already introduced the situation of the Lu family to Xiao Mingzhu.

The population of the Lu Mansion is very simple. The two masters and concubines of the Lu family were both born to Mrs. Lu, and the only concubine was also raised under Mrs. Lu's knees. Mrs. Lu decided to marry Mrs. Qu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, a few years ago. The cousin's son.

The eldest son of the Lu family has two sons and three daughters, both sons are descendants, the eldest son Lu Zhiyuan is already engaged, and the second son is still in love.The two concubine girls have made marriage arrangements with Mr. Lu's protégés, and only the eldest daughter, Miss Lu San, is still in her boudoir.

The second room of the Lu family has two sons and a daughter, only the eldest son is a descendant, and he is not engaged.

The three unengaged sons of the Lu family are all about the same age as her.

Xiao Mingzhu presented Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Qu Lu in sequence, taking a bunch of presents.

But she could feel that Mrs. Lu and the others all praised her, and the gift they gave was decent, but the three of them glanced at the bracelet on her wrist without showing any trace, and their expressions were all unnatural to varying degrees. See There are many things contained in the eyes looking at her, but the degree of liking is not much.

How could Mrs. Lu not know what her daughter-in-law and concubine were thinking.She was not in the capital these years, and each of them felt alive, even a little ignorant, and it was time to beat and beat.

She simply called Xiao Mingzhu to sit beside her, took advantage of the situation and took off the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist and put it on Xiao Mingzhu's hand.

As soon as this move came out, several people present were stunned.Xiao Mingzhu guessed that this Buddhist bead must be exquisite, and immediately took it out. Mrs. Lu held her hand tightly: "If I give it to you, keep it."

Xiao Mingzhu smiled, without straining, bent down and whispered in Mrs. Lu's ear: "The old genius doctor will definitely not be happy when he sees it."

Mrs. Lu laughed loudly, and followed Xiao Mingzhu's wishes, and took back the beads: "Nurse Qiu, go to my box and get the set of pearl strings."

This time, Xiao Mingzhu didn't delay any longer.

Xiao Mingzhu was talking with Mrs. Lu when a girl outside the door said: "The girls are here."

Xiao Mingzhu turned her head to look at the door, the curtain was raised, and four girls of different shapes entered one after another.One of the girls who was about the same age as her entered the door and asked with a smile: "Grandma, is this the younger sister of the Xiao family you mentioned?"

Xiao Mingzhu hurriedly got up to greet these girls one by one, and saw each other again.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Yes, this is your sister from the Xiao family." She then pointed to the girls and introduced to Xiao Mingzhu: "This is your elder sister, second sister, third sister and younger sister from the Qu family. After a while you go to play in the garden, but take good care of sister Ming."

The two older girls, one wearing a goose-yellow satin jacket skirt and the other wearing a pea-green thread skirt, are both gentle and silent, and amiable to look at.

The youngest girl was only eight or nine years old. She was wearing a bright red Confucian dress, a delicate silk flower of begonias on her hair, and a gold collar around her neck. She was cute and playful. When the South Pearl string on Xiao Mingzhu's chest was put on, it could no longer be removed.

Only the girl who spoke was about the same age as Xiao Mingzhu, with a pretty face, an oval face, long and narrow willow-leaf eyebrows, her eyes shining like pearls, her gestures were elegant, her frowns and smiles were just right, and the lotus-red dress of the eight blessings was even more beautiful. Appear dignified and decent.Xiao Mingzhu guessed that this must be the only legitimate daughter of the Lu family, the third girl Lu Ningxi.

"Grandmother, is she that Xiao Qi from the General's Mansion?" Qu Yuchun, a girl from the Qu family, was always used to being pampered by the Qu Lu family, and she was a little outspoken.

Just now she learned from her third cousin that her grandmother had invited a girl from the General's Mansion over, and told her very carefully that her grandmother liked this Miss Xiao very much.At that time, she was unhappy. No matter how good Xiao Mingzhu was, she was still an outsider. After all, she was also the cousin of the Lu family. Could it be that the grandmother would not distinguish between inside and outside?Right now, seeing the string of pearls that he had been coveting for a long time was worn around Xiao Mingzhu's neck, he felt somewhat annoyed towards Xiao Mingzhu, so he taunted Xiao Mingzhu in words.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Qu Lushi, who hurriedly got up, patted Qu Yuchun lightly, and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

Qu Yuchun bit his lip, seeing that Mrs. Lu was displeased, he didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

Xiao Mingzhu smiled, not wanting to ruin the good atmosphere right now, and replied: "I am indeed ranked seventh in the clan."

These words are generous, neither humble nor overbearing.

The third girl, Lu Ningxi, took a step forward and said with a smile, "I'm also ranked seventh in the clan."

The two looked at each other, and they both burst out laughing.
