Chapter 124 Chunzhu's Troubles
Qiu Ping's death did not cause any trouble at all.
Lu Yuan did solve several backlog cases in Beijing one after another.
Chunzhu would always publicize Lu Yuan's deeds in the mansion.
It seems like he wants everyone to know how powerful Lu Yuan is.
Xu Qiuyue discovered that Lu Yuan was actually very popular.
Most of the maids in the mansion were very respectful to Lu Yuan.
This is true even for Xing Zhu, who is good at martial arts.
These maids are treated well.
Although Lu Yuan seems stingy on weekdays, he is very generous to his maids and guards.
Moreover, if a maid and a nurse in the mansion fell in love with each other, he would not only allow them to be together, but also give them a gift.
Therefore, many of the maids in the mansion have already married.
For example, Hongling, who looks the youngest, is already married.
Her husband is the captain of the guards beside Lu Yuan, and they are a good match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Xu Qiuyue had felt before that Chunzhu was a little jealous of Hongling.
Later, Xu Qiuyue found out that Chunzhu actually liked the captain of the guard a little.
But unfortunately, the captain of the guard and Hongling were already married.
Chunzhu can only find another lover.
But in the Lu Mansion, Chun Zhu looked down upon everyone except the captain of the guards.
As for those who come to see each other at home.
Chunzhu made up all kinds of excuses, saying that her indenture was in the Lu Mansion, and that she was a member of the Lu Mansion and had no right to marry.
Chunzhu looks down on those people in the family even more.
The betrothal gifts given by those people were very generous.
But that’s the only advantage.
After all, if her family really loved her, they would not have sold her as a maid.
Now, Hongling is pregnant.
Xu Qiuyue waved her hand and relieved Hongling of her task, telling her not to serve her anymore and to focus on taking good care of her pregnancy.
Originally, Hongling wanted to serve Xu Qiuyue.
But Lu Yuan also spoke.
Lu Shi is his bodyguard, protecting his life every day. He has made an invaluable contribution, so it is no big deal for Hong Ling to take a year off.
However, when Chunzhu learned that Hongling was recuperating in the Lu residence and was receiving three taels of silver every month, she was extremely envious.
She even regretted that she hadn't taken down Lu Shi earlier.
Lu Shi is not only handsome, but also has extraordinary martial arts skills.
In this Lu family, apart from Lu Yuan, almost no one can compare to him.
What's more, these guards of the Lu family are very popular. They are all young and handsome, and most of them are orphans. If they marry into a family, they will not have the pressure of a mother-in-law. They can just live a simple life as a couple. They can even teach their children to read and write. Isn't that a wonderful life?
The better ones had already been picked up by the maids.
Chunzhu wasted his time on Lu Shi back then, and then he was delayed.
Of course, Chunzhu was unwilling to choose the remaining ones.
As for becoming Lu Yuan's concubine, Chunzhu had no such idea at all.
Every woman hopes to be the only one in her husband's heart.
Ordinary civilians do not have concubines, they only have one wife.
Another thing is that serving the master during the day is already annoying enough.
I have to serve the master at night.
How annoying this is!
Moreover, the maids in the Lu mansion are all treated well.
The most important thing is that Lu Yuan is very stingy with women who like him, and there are maids who have thought about climbing into his bed.
But after becoming a concubine, all the monthly salary she was supposed to receive was gone.
The reason was very strong. After becoming his woman, she would eat and live for free in the Lu Mansion, and would not have to work. She would also have maids to serve her. Why would she need money?
Then the concubine couldn't stand it anymore and begged Lu Yuan to let her continue to be a maid, because as a maid at least she could get a monthly salary. But Lu Yuan refused.
Finally she ran away on her own.
He was also caught by Lu Yuan.
Eventually it was sold to someone else.
Since this incident.
Almost none of the maids in the mansion were willing to climb into Lu Yuan's bed.
Chunzhu didn't think he was an exception.
Xu Qiuyue treats her very well now, but if she becomes Lu Yuan’s aunt, Xu Qiuyue will definitely not treat her well.
So Chunzhu still set his sights on the guards of the Lu Mansion.
This is her perfect match.
In the evening, after a day's work, she could still have someone massage her shoulders and talk to her.
The most important thing is that as long as you get married with the guard, the two of you will be able to have a separate room in the mansion.
The same goes for the guards. Only if they marry the maids in the mansion can they have their own room.
Otherwise, I usually sleep on a big bunk bed.
Therefore, when guards get married, most of them will choose the maids in the mansion.
The Lu family has a strict family tradition. Most of these maids are of innocent origin, and some of them are literate. They are young and beautiful, and the older ones have all been married.
The key is, in this mansion, we see each other every day, so we can know what they look like.
If you go outside and ask a matchmaker to find one, you might get cheated because you haven't even seen her and don't know what she looks like.
So once two people are sure of their feelings, it will basically happen quickly.
The spring bamboo was left like this.
It’s not that there were no servants who tried to show kindness to her, but Chunzhu was not happy about it.
Chunzhu is the head maidservant beside Xu Qiuyue, and now Lu's mother is not around.
Xu Qiuyue is the mistress of the house.
The maidservants around the mistress have a very high status.
Chunzhu climbed to this position, although it was partly due to luck, but she had already gained Xu Qiuyue's trust, and basically no one could replace her position.
She was already quite old at this time.
Chunzhu began to feel anxious uncontrollably.
Although she looks excellent now.
But when she gets older, those people she looked down upon before may not look up to her anymore.
Another thing is that all the maids of the same age around her are married.
She was all alone.
How can spring bamboo not be annoying?
Chunzhu still hopes that the person she likes can be from the Lu family, so that it will be convenient for her to serve Xu Qiuyue in the future.
She had climbed up here with great difficulty.
She doesn't want to give up easily.
Hongling is pregnant now, and she still comes to Xu Qiuyue's yard to help from time to time. She is afraid that someone will replace her position, and she also wants to come back to serve her after giving birth.
The maidservant beside the mistress was not tired at all, and she was even assigned a little maid to do odd jobs.
Xu Qiuyue also noticed that something was wrong with Chunzhu recently.
Chunzhu was the first one to follow Xu Qiuyue.
Xu Qiuyue was so used to it that she was too lazy to change it.
As for Chunzhu, she is Lu Yuan's person, and all the maids in the Lu Mansion are Lu Yuan's people, so she is too lazy to change.
Xu Qiuyue called Chunzhu to her side and said, "Is it because Hongling has been resting recently? You are too tired to do all this by yourself, so you are a little tired. I plan to buy a maid outside in a few days, so that you won't be too tired."
Xu Qiuyue was actually calculating the time. She wanted to buy the maid she had in her previous life.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, and I have Xiao Qu'er to help me. I just, I just wish there were more guards in the mansion."
Chunzhu spoke in a very low voice, quite embarrassed.
