Chapter 183: Honor in troubled times 151
Liu Cai went to the gate of Lin Lian's Shuang Mansion. He had money and directly used the money to connect the doorman and asked the doorman to send a message to Lin Lian.
At this time, Lin Lianshuang came back from the yamen. When she heard that Lu Zhen’s uncle came to see her, she asked someone to take Liu Cai to Lu Zhen’s yard.
Lu Zhen is very comfortable living in Lin Mansion.
Lin Lianshuang specially packed a yard for Lu Zhen to live in. Madam Wu also helped Lu Zhen to take care of it. In addition, Lu Zhen's big girl, Pomegranate, also came to serve her, so she lived comfortably.
Madam Wu was not idle either. She taught Lu Zhen some of the rules in the palace every day, and told many interesting stories about An Ning when she was in Nanyi Mansion earlier, and also told Lu Zhen some of the prince's preferences.
Lu Zhen studied very seriously.
She is a smart woman. She can remember many things after Madam Wu talks about them, but she can remember them all. She can remember them all the time after Madam Wu again.
On this day, Madam Wu continued to tell Lu Zhen about the tempers of the masters in the palace. When talking about Princess Fengyang, Madam Wu whispered: "Does the girl Qi in the Beijing Grand Theater know?"
Lu Zhen really knows it.
"I've heard the opera he sang, and he sang very well."
Madam Wu smiled and said, "If a girl meets Mr. Qi in the future, she must not have a conflict with him."
"Why is this?"
Lu Zhen was a little confused.
Madam Wu whispered: "Young Master Qi is the person protected by Princess Fengyang. Now we old people in the palace understand in their hearts. Even the little Fuzi around His Majesty is polite when he sees Youth Majesty."
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty and the Empress know about this, too?"
She didn't understand. Judging from what Madam Wu meant, Princess Fengyang and that Prince Qi had an unusual relationship. Princess Qi was raised by Princess Fengyang. Princess Fengyang has not gotten married yet. Just like that, would the emperor and the queen ignore it?
Madam Wu smiled: "I know, Princess Fengyang begs the Empress, the Empress allowed it. Otherwise, why do you think we are so polite to Mr. Qi? Princess Fengyang looks like a good person and is kind, but after all, she is raised by the emperor and the Empress. If she really provoked her, she will definitely be with you endlessly."
Lu Zhen nodded: "Thank you, nanny, for giving me some advice, I've recorded it."
While he was talking, the little girl from the Lin family came over to Lu Zhen and told her uncle that she was here. Lu Zhen quickly got up to clean up her clothes, and took pomegranate and went out to greet her.
Just as Liu Cai entered the gate of the courtyard, Lu Zhen couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes when she saw Liu Cai.
When Lu Zhen was young, she lived in the Liu family for a while. Later, when she followed Luwang to control the water, Liu Cai often went out to do business. Sometimes when he got fresh things, he would go over to see Lu Zhen, give her some clothes and jewelry, and talk to her. He was Lu Zhen's current big girl, pomegranate, which was also the little girl Liu Cai saved on his way to business. He saved pomegranate, and saw that pomegranate had nowhere to go, so he sent the pomegranate to Lu Zhen.
At that time, Lu Zhen was surrounded by servants from the Lu family. These servants often disobey Lu Zhen, and it was difficult to control him anyway, so Lu Zhen was very inconvenient. Later, Pomegranate followed her and the master and servant were in a good mood, so her life was better.
It can be said that since childhood, Lu Zhen received care from his relatives, besides Lu Wan, it was Liu Cai.
"uncle."
Lu Zhen stepped down the steps and gave a gift to Liu Cai crying.
Liu Cai also wiped his tears, his eyes red: "The girl has grown up and hasn't seen her for more than a year, so she's so tall."
Lu Zhen burst into tears and smiled: "You don't have to run around in Beijing, you eat well, so you have grown up."
She quickly asked Liu Cai to come into the house and talk.
As soon as Liu Cai entered the house, he said, "I just went to see your mother. I have scolded her. I think her appearance should be able to change. Girl, let's watch. If she can change it and treat you well, it is your biological mother. We should be more filial to you. If she doesn't change it, she will still treat you like before. With her uncle here, my uncle will support you. When I came, I told your grandmother that if you really can't live in the Lu family, you can go back with your uncle and let's go back to the ancient city to live. Our Liu family's house is bigger than the Lu family. There is nothing in the house, and you can eat and wear whatever you want."
"Um."
Lu Zhen nodded: "I listen to my uncle."
On the other side of the Lu family, Liu saw Liu Cai away and saw Lu Shan bringing the girl over.
She smiled when she saw Liu: "I heard that the uncle of the Liu family came just now, and I don't know what good things he brought."
Liu asked Lu Shan to enter the house: "I didn't bring anything, your uncle just came to see me."
Lu Shan sat down and she curled her lips: "What's my uncle? My uncle's surname is Gao, but not Liu."
Liu didn't think anything was wrong earlier. Anyway, Lu Shan was so sarcastic, but Liu Cai just scolded Liu and told Liu that Lu Shan was just a ungrateful wolf and could not be raised anyway.
Now Liu looked at Lu Shan and curled his lips, not admitting that Liu Cai was her uncle at all, and he felt a little angry.
Over the years, Liu Cai has sent a lot of things to the Lu family. Every time when there are good things, Liu asked Lu Shan to choose them first. It can be said that over the years, Lu Shan has eaten and used a lot of food and food from the Liu family. As for the Gao family, they only know how to sell their mouths, but in fact they have never given anything.
The Gao family suppressed the Liu family for so many years, which made the Liu family respect the Gao family and dared not think that there was something wrong with the Gao family.
But now thinking about it, what is the Gao family?
He only has a reputation as a noble man, but in fact his family has long been in decline in recent years.
Before, the old man of the Gao family was a second-rank official, and the Gao family was one of the most numerous families in the capital. But in recent years, the old man of the Gao family has gone, and the descendants are not worthy of their own, so there is only one empty space left. To be honest, the Gao family is not as good as the Liu family.
At least the Liu family has money, what does the Gao family have?
"It's the surname Gao."
Liu was angry, and thought that Liu Cai asked her to suppress Lu Shan, so she was rude: "The eldest girl also knows that your grandfather's surname is Gao. Over the years, the eldest girl's food and use is from the Liu family. Why? I thought you were going to change your uncle. It turns out that when the eldest girl was short of money and things, she was the Liu family's uncle. There was no need, and it was the Gao family's uncle. This has changed too quickly."
Liu's words made Lu Shan explode.
"What does Mother mean?"
Liu sneered: "What does it mean? It's that. My brother left, and the girl came over to ask for things. What I knew was the girl's closeness to me, my mother. Those who didn't know thought the girl had shallow eyes and stared at other people's things. By the way, the girl in front said that she went to Gongque to pull her head and borrowed my set of ruby faces to make up for the numbers. Should she pay me back now?"
Lu Shan couldn't sit still, so she stood up suddenly: "What are you lending? Why did my mother ask me to pay back? She wants to pay back when she is a mother and wants to pay back her daughter. How can such a thing be done?"
Liu slapped the table and said sternly: "My surname is Liu, not Gao. Your mother is Gao. You are also Gao, who is the one who sacrifices three festivals and two lives. You borrowed me and refused to repay the money."
