Chapter 14 Household Affairs

As soon as Lu Qi'er left, Zhou Yue'er stepped into the bedroom and saw Ning'er put on her underwear. Looking at Ning'er's erotic face, a hint of inexplicable jealousy surged in Zhou Yue'er's heart.

"I would like to pay my respects to the eldest son's wife." Ning'er knelt down and said respectfully, saying that Zhou Yue'er had asked her about her well recently, and now she has changed her name.

Ning'er's kneeling to see Gong'an made Zhou Yue'er's mentality balance. The jealousy disappeared invisibly. She smiled happily and said, "Sister, don't treat me with great gifts in the future, please get up quickly."

Ning'er stood up and said respectfully: "Ning'er is now a slave of the Lu family, and you must know the superiority and inferiority. If you have any problems in the future, please give Ning'er instructions."

Zhou Yue'er smiled faintly, turned her head and glanced at the bedroom, and said casually: "Ning'er, can you ask you something?"

This voice of Ning'er showed the rank of each other's master and maid. Ning'er said respectfully: "What do you want to ask about the eldest son's wife? Ning'er knew it and would definitely answer."

Zhou Yue'er smiled faintly and said, "I know about my proposal for the seventh brother. Do you think I am willing?"

Ning'er said in a harmonious voice: "Go back to Mrs. Chang, the Seventh Master is not aware of the proposal of marriage. Last night, the Seventh Master drank drunk and slept for a long time. He woke up when he woke up thirsty and asked for water. After drinking the water, he hugged me. After that, he fell asleep again. He woke up until Mrs. Chang called me to the door. Last night, the Seventh Master just called me a few times and had no chance to say anything else."

Zhou Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, she believed it. When the man got drunk, he was either indiscriminate or sleepy. She said lightly. Ning'er hurriedly, "The relative mentioned by the eldest son's wife must be a family that is polite and kind. I will say something about Yucheng to the Seventh Young Master."

Zhou Yue'er's beautiful eyes rolled and she smiled faintly: "You agree with the seventh brother getting married."

Ning'er said in harmony: "It is necessary for the Seventh Young Master to marry a wife, and I agree with it. If the eldest son's wife mentioned, the Lu family will be as harmonious as it is now."

Zhou Yue'er smiled when she heard this. She could tell that she was very concerned about this matter and said gently to Ning'er: "Thank you."

Ning'er said in a harmonious voice: "This is the duty of a servant."

Zhou Yueerrou glanced at her and said gently: "Today, the aunt is going to buy a farm in my parents' home, and you can go there together."

Ning'er said in a harmonious voice: "Whether I can go, I still have to tell my wife about it."

Zhou Yue'er smiled and said, "I will say this."

Seeing that Zhou Yue'er was in a good mood, Ning'er hurriedly said: "Madam Chang Shao, the Seventh Young Master has been taken care of by the servant since he was a child, so he decided to belong to the Seventh Young Master. I feel sorry for Mrs. Chang Shao'er's love. Please forgive me."

Zhou Yue'er was stunned and smiled and said, "I know this. I don't blame you in my heart. You don't have to worry about it."

Ning'er said respectfully: "I thank Mrs. Chang Shao for your tolerance."

Zhou Yue'er glanced at her and said with a faint face: "You know the reason why I want you to enter the house. If I could give birth to descendants for the Lu family, I would not take the initiative to ask you to share my husband. It is because I am not good enough and have to find a married woman to pass on the family line for my husband."

Ning'er said in harmony: "It is indeed a big deal to pass on the clan. After a few days, the Lu family will be stable. I persuaded the seventh young master to come forward to buy a concubine for the second young master to pass on the clan. I think the concubines I want to buy are the women I have given birth to."

Zhou Yue'er was happy when she heard this. It was of course beneficial for her to come forward. She is now ashamed of the Lu family because her husband is heavily in debt, and it is difficult to speak about spending money. She immediately thanked Ning'er.

In the living room where Lu's mother lived, Lu Qi rushed in and paid homage to her waiting mother. After her son returned, Lu's mother was both physically and mentally. Looking at her grown-up son, her inner joy was overwhelming.

"Xiaoqi, did you sleep well last night?" Lu's mother asked lovingly as she looked at her son.

Lu Qi's face was slightly hot, and he felt his mother's care and said, "The child slept well last night."

"Have you fulfilled your family?" Lu's mother asked with a smile, and Lu Qi nodded silently with a hot face.

Lu's mother nodded with a smile and said in harmony: "Xiaoqi, you are not young anymore. Our Lu family has been short of grandchildren. Although my mother has arranged Ning'er for you, Ning'er cannot be a wife according to the rules. Therefore, my mother wants you to marry her. Your sister-in-law mentioned a lady from a family, saying that she is gentle and polite. Today, my mother and your sister-in-law went to Wangjiangpo to buy a farm and went on a blind date for you."

Lu Qi pretended to be stunned and said in a whisper: "Mom, when did my sister-in-law say she wanted to propose marriage for me?"

"I mentioned it the night before, didn't Ning'er tell you?" Lu's mother said in harmony.

"Last night, the child was drunk and didn't say anything to her. My sister-in-law called us in the morning." Lu Qi explained in harmony. This was what Ning'er had instructed, begging Lu Qi not to involve her in the marriage. If she was involved, it might cause disgust between Lu's mother and Zhou Yue'er.

Lu's mother said lightly and said in harmony: "I've told you now. If you see it, please book it first."

Lu Qi said harmoniously: "Mom, children should marry by age. However, when the child left the army, a comrade advised me not to rush to marry after returning home, saying that I am still young and will definitely return to the army in the future. After returning to the army, that comrade will find an opportunity to marry the daughter of a powerful general. The comrade said that marrying the daughter of a powerful general is the best opportunity to achieve the career development."

Lu's mother was stunned and worriedly said, "Where will you return to the army in the future?"

Lu Qi said in harmony: "Mom, the child does not want to return to the army. He wants to do business at home to be a safe Fuji. However, the situation is turbulent and there are many dangers in the border areas. If the military order comes, the child will not dare to refuse his life."

Lu's mother nodded helplessly. In fact, Lu's mother is the daughter of a general, and Lu's father was promoted to a senior general in the army after marrying her. In-law relationships are very important in the officialdom, which is a bond of trust. A high-ranking official who wants to promote subordinates as confidants often chooses unmarried daughters from relatives to marry. Officials who want to seek development are not enough to just give money. Only sending daughters to the relatives to be concubines is the greatest expression of loyalty. A bureaucratic group that is united has a staggered in-law relationship. Lu's mother is well aware of this habit in the officialdom. It was precisely because Ning'er knew this that he taught Lu Qi to delay marriage with this trick.

Since the son had to return to the army, it was related to his son's future, Lu's mother could not persist. However, Lu's mother was also anxious about the matter in her heart. She agreed not to marry a wife, but she still had to be close to her. If Zhou Yue'er mentioned the lady Lu's mother liked it and was willing to be a fair wife, Lu's mother would also make a reservation for Lu Qi.

Lu Qi was not easy to object after hearing this. The status of a flat wife is higher than that of a concubine, and is consistent in nominal status with a regular wife, but is much worse than that of a regular wife. The regular wife has the right to determine the fate of the concubine and children, and has the right to control the family's property income and expenditure. A flat wife is equivalent to the deputy heroine in name but not real, and the legitimate wife is the real heroine.

The mother and son reached a consensus. Lu Qi asked for 213 taels of silver, saying that he would go to pay off the Shangguan debt first, and hire a car to come back. He wanted to follow him when he went out of the city to buy land. The reason was that many chaotic people outside were afraid of accidents, so Lu's mother also planned to let him go, so she took the money and handed it over to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi left home, and Zhou Yueer entered the hall. After hearing Lu's mother's plan, she was very disappointed. The ancestors of the lady she mentioned were also officials, and she was far away from her. She was the richest family in Wangjiangpo, and the head of the family was the chief elder in Wangjiangpo Township.

Although Lu Qi is a seventh-rank martial arts official, people nowadays value reality. In the Lu family, there is still half hope of marrying a wife. It is difficult to marry a wife. She is a matchmaker who wants to be a matchmaker. This opening is somewhat despising her own family, and she may become a gangster with her.

When Lu's mother saw Zhou Yue'er's embarrassing expression, she immediately understood the reason and smiled and said, "Yue'er, you don't have to make things difficult for this matter. We go to your parents' home today to buy a farm. There is no need to publicly explain the blind dates, just ask in secret. If we really build a farm in Wangjiangpo Township, we must prepare gifts for our mother to visit the elders in Zhou's mansion."

Zhou Yue'er was relieved when she heard this and hurriedly said softly: "Thank you for understanding Yue'er, Yue'er will do her best to agree."

Lu's mother smiled and said, "Just do your best to do your best in this matter, there is something I want to tell you now."

Zhou Yue'er said softly: "My mother, please tell me."
