Chapter 182 Tell her to the fourth brother!
When Lu Xinran returned to his yard, his heart was still beating with joy.
What a good day is today?
She was just thinking about how to make money yesterday, but today she now has a shop, and Lu Xinlan also gave her such great news.
She sat down at the table and took out a bulging purse from her bosom.
This was given to her by Lu Xinlan before she left, saying that it was half of the income from the shop and farm in the previous year, so that she could spend it as she pleased without restraint.
She carefully untied the tightly tied rope and then carefully pulled out the silver bill.
The denominations of the silver notes were not large, with the largest one being only two hundred taels.
The rest are of one hundred taels, fifty taels, twenty taels, and ten taels.
She counted them one by one, her abacus clacking in her mind, and finally came up with three thousand eight hundred and ninety taels.
So much silver!
She looked at the banknote again and again. It took her a long time to come back to her senses after she had calmed down from the excitement.
These banknotes are not all the silver Lu Xinlan has in his hands, right?
In the original book, the heroine Lu Xinlan is described as being very generous and wearing different clothes and accessories every day.
He lived such a lavish life that he must have spent all the earnings from his farm and shop on dressing himself up.
The two of them came here together in July, and have been almost inseparable since then.
Apart from the four-season clothes made for her by the mansion and the jewelry sent by various brothels, she had never seen her buy any more clothes or accessories for herself.
Since she had hardly used the silver, these coins, both in small and large amounts, should be what the original body had left for her.
She completely came to her senses from the joy of her sudden wealth, counted out 1,500 taels of silver notes, put them back into her purse, and asked Cuizhu to deliver it back to Lu Xinlan.
Lu Xinlan looked at the banknote that was returned to her and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
The day before, the girl was still acting like a money-grubber and kept saying that she was a pauper, but in the end she didn't want the farm or shop and only kept half of the money.
As she laughed, a sigh welled up in her heart.
Not caring about past grudges... That girl can do that, but how can she really not care?
She was the one who occupied the magpie's nest, and she is also the one who is favored by the Zhao family and occupies the position of the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
Her emotions were extremely complicated, but in the end they only turned into motivation to bury her head in the account books.
In the palace, Eunuch Fu bent over and recounted in detail what had happened to the Gu family the day before.
The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, it was Qiu Zhenye who first snatched the child from the Gu family, and Qiu Zhenye's wife was determined to marry An Hongsheng's daughter to that child?"
"Yes, that's what I heard."
Eunuch Fu bowed his head slightly in respect.
He couldn't remember when it started, but the emperor would ask him to find out everything, big or small, in the capital, especially the places the Lu sisters had been to. Once something happened, the emperor would definitely ask him to find out.
If you care so much about those two sisters...just take them into the palace, why keep caring about them silently like this?
The emperor sorted out the causes and consequences, then shook his head slightly.
Qiu Zhenye couldn't even handle his own wife's madness, so how could he lead the troops well?
Moreover, although he was afraid of the prestige of the Zhang family in the army, as long as Zhang Yongping stayed in the capital wisely and did not have any inappropriate thoughts, he would not touch the Zhang family.
He also didn't want to be known as a cruel person in history books of later generations.
He has not been harsh to the Zhang family for many years. Now Qiu Zhenye and his wife are so blatantly distancing themselves from the Zhang family and are showing that they will kill all the members of the Zhang family sooner or later. What the hell is this!
Are you saying that he is a cruel and merciless tyrant who cannot tolerate military commanders? !
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he disliked Qiu Zhenye and his wife. Thinking of the memorial he had just read, he snorted coldly, took out the memorial and wrote a reply.
Aren't the Qiu family members afraid of being implicated? Then get out of here!
Yucheng is missing a vanguard general, and Qiu Zhenye can just fill in!
He disliked the Qiu family and was ready to drive that family out of the capital after the New Year. In Yongshou Palace, the empress dowager and the queen were talking about what happened the day before.
"How come such a good marriage has come to such a mess?"
No one dared to report Lu Xinran's "treasonous" words to the Queen Mother, so she felt like the other ladies at this moment, that it was unnecessary for things to get to this point.
However, the queen somewhat understood the attitudes of Gu Zixuan and the Gu family.
"Mother, this matter was wrong from the very beginning. General Qiu separated the two elders of the Gu family from the young man who died in the battle for more than ten years. It would have been fine if the Gu family had never cared about this child.
“Old Madam Gu had been searching for the only bloodline left by her son who died in battle for so many years, but she almost didn’t get to see him before she died.
"How could the two elders of the Gu family not hate him? And General Qiu...he has always known that Gu Zixian is not his heir, and he has not been dedicated to cultivating him over the years.
"The vision of the An family is clear. The reason why Gu Zixian was not raised as a bad child is purely because he is a good child to begin with.
"There are so many past events involved, it's only natural that the two elders of the Gu family cannot accept this marriage."
After she explained this, the Queen Mother nodded, but she still felt a little sad.
"But if this happens, the child's future will probably be ruined."
The most taboo thing for a scholar is not having a good reputation. If things get to this point, how can he become an official in the future?
The Queen was not worried about Gu Zixian's future. Gu Minghui would make a big fuss about this matter, and he would definitely find a way to pave the way for Gu Zixian, who had suffered so much "wrong".
She was worried about something else now, "Mother, the two girls from the Lu family will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year.
“Originally, His Majesty wanted to marry Lu Xinlan to the Fourth Prince, but now that she is of a lowly birth and cannot marry into the royal family, she will definitely have to negotiate another marriage.
"That girl is calm and composed. I'm not worried about her. I'm worried about Xinran. What kind of marriage do you think the Lu family will find for her?"
If she randomly finds a marriage for her, or if Lu Jinchuan uses her to exchange benefits with others, and this gets to the emperor's ears, will he be able to accept it?
The girl's ability is too amazing. The emperor cannot take her into the harem, but he won't let her marry casually, right?
The Queen Mother frowned slightly as she spoke, "That girl's marriage is indeed difficult. The Emperor will definitely be wary of her marrying into an ordinary family..."
If I can’t marry into an ordinary family, what about marrying into the royal family?
The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat, and an idea suddenly came to her mind: "Queen, what do you think about assigning that girl to the Fourth Prince? The Emperor originally wanted to assign Miss Lu to the Fourth Prince, and now it seems that it is okay to change it to Miss Xinran."
