Chapter 152 Qiuxiang's Envy

When Lu Yuan won the top prize, he rode a big horse and walked on the street wearing a red robe.

Qiuxiang had met Lu Yuan at that time.

The young man is full of vigor and vitality.

With this kind of look, which woman wouldn't feel a little moved?

But she knew very well that she was not worthy of Lu Yuan.

After Qiuxiang came to the Lu Mansion, she felt that everyone there was very friendly.

At that time, she didn't know Xu Qiuyue's identity.

I just feel that Chunzhu and some of the servants in the mansion are sometimes not respectful enough to Xu Qiuyue.

Chunzhu was of course on Xu Qiuyue's side, but his attitude towards Xu Qiuyue and Lu Yuan was completely different.

Later, after chatting with Chunzhu, Qiuxiang learned about Xu Qiuyue's true identity.

She is just a peasant girl, and she has a younger sister, Xu Chunhua.

Xu Chunhua is actually quite famous in Beijing.

Qiuxiang had heard it too.

After all, there was a peasant girl who was clinging to the Ninth Prince and wanted to be his wife. This matter was quite famous in the capital.

It is hard to imagine that such a person is Xu Qiuyue’s sister.

And from Chunzhu, it was Xu Chunhua who was originally going to marry Lu Yuan, but for some reason Xu Chunhua became unhappy and was replaced by Xu Qiuyue.

The master just wanted to repay his gratitude and thought that a girl from the Xu family would be enough.

So Xu Qiuyue went in.

According to Chunzhu, Lu Yuan later hired a teacher to teach Xu Qiuyue how to read. Xu Qiuyue wanted to study medicine, so Lu Yuan invited Taohua Doctor, a famous doctor in Taohua Town, to give her advice.

Only Xu Qiuyue has such ability.

Xu Qiuyue's attitude towards Lu Yuan was neither cold nor indifferent.

But Lu Yuan didn't care at all and was always nice to Xu Qiuyue.

In the past, Qiuxiang and Lu Yuan saw each other less.

Because there were many maids in the Lu Mansion, she only followed Xu Qiuyue, and they rarely met under normal circumstances.

But it is different now.

At the county government office, the office was too small, and Lu Yuan rarely brought his maids with him.

Lu Yuan transferred all the Xingzhu to his own use.

The housekeeper in the mansion is not Xu Qiuyue, but the steward of the mansion.

Xu Qiuyue doesn't need to work every month, nor does she need a housekeeper. Every month, she basically just takes care of the flowers and doesn't have any other chores.

It was not the Prince's Mansion where she had stayed before. The Crown Princess actually had to take care of a lot of complicated things.

Unlike the Lu Mansion, Lu Yuan has not yet taken a concubine. The entire Lu Mansion basically listens to Xu Qiuyue.

Those servants were not respectful enough, just comparing their attitude towards Lu Yuan.

But in fact, Xu Qiuyue's position is still very stable.

Basically no one can shake Xu Qiuyue's position.

Xu Qiuyue likes to grow vegetables, cook, and live a life similar to her previous life as a farmer.

Qiuxiang could feel this.

Moreover, Lu Yuan is very protective of Xu Qiuyue's status.

Chunzhu was punished by Lu Yuan.

Because in the morning, Chunzhu said something extra, saying that Madam slept too long and that she had become lazy after coming to the North City.

Then Chunzhu was taken away by Lu Yuan and made to kneel down as punishment.

Then Qiuxiang was also warned not to disturb Xu Qiuyue with such trivial matters.

Qiuxiang naturally would not tell Xu Qiuyue about this.

This was the first time Qiuxiang saw Lu Yuan punishing someone.

Chunzhu, who always loved to talk back, didn't dare to say a word when Lu Yuan got angry.

If Xu Qiuyue wanted to punish Chunzhu, Chunzhu would definitely talk for a long time and give many, many reasons.

Qiuxiang then realized that Lu Yuan's temper was not as good as it seemed. Qiuxiang had asked other servants in the mansion and knew that Lu Yuan was very strict with his subordinates. If a useless person like Wuming was not a servant bought by the lady, he would have been kicked out of the Lu mansion long ago.

Lu Yuan is very stingy, but the indenture between her and Wuming is in Xu Qiuyue's hands, and the monthly salary is given to them by the housekeeper.

Qiuxiang was beautiful and well-educated. The housekeeper didn't know Qiuxiang's background, including that she was infertile. He treated her very well and wanted her to marry his son, so Qiuxiang could get a lot of information from him.

For example, Xu Qiuyue’s monthly salary was five hundred taels of gold.

There really was just that much gold, not a single ounce less, and each piece of gold was personally given to Xu Qiuyue by the butler.

This was Lu Yuan's personal order.

This is enough to prove how much Lu Yuan values ​​Xu Qiuyue.

This amount of gold is quite a lot.

Moreover, this is Xu Qiuyue's private money, which was saved by Xu Qiuyue herself and she can spend it as she pleases.

Qiuxiang followed Xu Qiuyue every day, but she didn't realize that Xu Qiuyue had so much gold.

No one dared to ask where Xu Qiuyue's flowers were.

Even with so much gold, Lu Yuan still bought extra clothes and jewelry for Xu Qiuyue every month.

Such a husband is extremely rare.

Although Chunzhu said that it was because Lu Yuan was stingy that he would not hand over the housekeeping power to others, Lu Yuan wanted to manage the household himself to save more money and prevent others from embezzling.

But no matter how greedy he was, giving Xu Qiuyue five hundred taels of gold a month was still a bit too much.

Even for the Crown Princess, her monthly allowance was only a few hundred taels of silver.

All together it's less than a hundred taels of gold.

Not to mention five hundred taels of gold.

This is just too much.

But Lu Yuan didn't say a word.

And don't let the housekeeper tell anyone.

Even Chunzhu didn't know much about this.

Chunzhu said Xu Qiuyue was very frugal and was reluctant to buy nice clothes.

So Lu Yuan was worried that Xu Qiuyue would lose his face, so he bought some nice clothes for Xu Qiuyue.

But Qiuxiang stayed with Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue slept on a brocade quilt, and the tables, chairs and ornaments in the room were all extraordinary items.

Moreover, Xu Qiuyue also has a separate room specifically for storing jewelry.

Lu Yuan was very generous to Xu Qiuyue, giving her new clothes and jewelry every month.

Those materials are all precious.

Many of them are extremely rare treasures even in the Prince’s Mansion.

Chunzhu doesn't know the value of the thing, but Qiuxiang does.

How could Qiuxiang not be envious?

Which woman doesn't wish to marry a husband like this?

Moreover, Lu Yuan's father and mother were both out of town, so there was almost no one to take care of Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue is quite free every day.

She went out for a day and did not come back. After she came back, Lu Yuan did not say anything to her.

Chunzhu complained.

Lu Yuan actually said directly to Chun Zhu: "When my mother was alive, Madam got up early every day to pay respects, and she was exhausted."

But Qiuxiang learned from Chunzhu that Lu Yuan's mother treated Lu Yuan even better than Xu Qiuyue.

This is completely different from what Lu Yuan said.

Qiuxiang helped Xu Qiuyue wash and dress.

Suddenly he remembered what Lu Yuan had told him and asked Xu Qiuyue.

"Madam, the master said that there is no shortage of water now, so he asked the kitchen to boil a bucket of water for you. Do you want to take a bath now?"

Xu Qiuyue used to have the habit of taking a bath every day, and she did not take a bath yesterday because there was a shortage of water in the mansion. When she first arrived the day before yesterday, Xu Qiuyue only took a bath secretly once.

Now that there is water available, Xu Qiuyue nodded to Qiuxiang.
