Chapter 464: A show of force
Chapter 464: A show of force
Mrs. Lu Gao had been waiting in the flower hall since early morning, waiting for her son and daughter-in-law to come and pay their respects to her.
The Lu family now has only three real masters: Lu's mother, Lu Gao, Lu Xin, and Shan Yu who just got married yesterday.
The population is very simple.
Lu Xin's father passed away when he was still a child. Lu Xin's current status and achievements are really due to his own efforts.
After Shan Yu was dressed up by Hongyun and Hongyu, she went to the flower hall with Lu Xin.
There are rules to follow when serving tea. As long as you follow the rules, you won't go wrong.
Shan Yu served tea according to the rules and also gave out the gifts that should be given.
However, when she received the return gift, her face looked a little unhappy.
When Song Qing resigned and moved to the general's mansion, the return gift she received was a jade bracelet of excellent quality. Even her mother, an aunt, sent a gold hairpin as a return gift.
But when I got married, the return gift from my mother-in-law was just a silk handkerchief.
Seeing that her face didn't look good, Hongyun hurried forward and helped his young lady up.
He gently tugged at her sleeve, reminding her of the current occasion.
Shan Yu came back to his senses and forced a smile.
Lu Xin's mind was not on these little things, so he was completely unaware of the subtle relationship between his mother and his wife.
After Shan Yu sat down, Lu Gaoshi spoke softly, "Since you have married into our Lu family, we will naturally not treat you unfairly. You have all the dignity that a bride in another family should have."
"Thank you, mother." Shan Yu answered obediently. It can't be said that her attitude was exactly the same as when she was in the general's mansion before, but it can be said that it has nothing to do with it.
If Song Qingci saw her like this, he would definitely be shocked. It is true that the environment changes people. A cat that easily gets angry can become so docile.
Seeing that she was obedient, Mrs. Lu Gao felt a little better.
In order to marry her, the Lu family emptied out all their assets and even sold some of their property.
"Come in, all of you." Suddenly, Mrs. Lu Gao shouted outside the house.
Then two young women in ordinary clothes came in.
They all had their hair tied up in buns.
"These are Xin'er's two concubines. Since you have entered the house, let them serve you tea according to the rules, and you should also give them some respect and make them concubines."
As soon as Mrs. Lu finished her words, the two women knelt down facing Shan Yu.
"The servant Qiuyue pays respect to the young lady."
"The servant Qiu Shuang pays respect to the young lady."
Shan Yu looked at the two people in front of him with an extremely ugly expression.
Although she had never thought that her husband would stay with her all his life and not take a concubine, she never expected that such a thing would happen on the second day after getting married.
She was just a maidservant, and a decent family would get rid of her before the wedding. If they didn't get rid of her, they wouldn't bring her out to annoy others on the second day after the wedding.
This was clearly a show of force against her.
Shan Yu subconsciously looked at her husband, but unfortunately, Lu Xin didn't even look at her.
Lu Xin didn't react at all to the entry of these two people.
To be honest, he was quite impatient to deal with these things. They were all matters of the backyard, so he could just leave them to his mother.
Because of getting married, he has been late for several days.
Today he wants to go back to work.
He was afraid that the Emperor would forget about him after being away for too long. Moreover, he had only investigated half of the people the Emperor had ordered him to investigate. He was now afraid that the longer he stayed, the more trouble he would have.
