In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 208 Fengdu Lu Mansion



Chapter 208 Fengdu Lu Mansion

The next morning, after Su Yueyao had breakfast, she took Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin on a carriage and headed for Lu Mansion, which was also in the east of the city.

"Yuan Yi and Yuan Jin, have you ever been to the Lu family before?"

"No, my father and mother have been here before, but we never followed."

"The last time I met Lu Wenxin and the Lu family's eldest son, I thought they were pretty easy to get along with."

"Actually, mother and father only informed them that we were getting married. We didn't actually expect them to come." Lu Yuanyi said.

"Yesterday I looked at Dean Lu, and I felt that he was a very good person. They are on the side of His Majesty, so I think the children of the Lu family who are headed by him have been well trained."

"My dear wife, you don't have to think too much. If you think they are good, we can interact with each other in the future. It doesn't matter if we don't interact with each other." Lu Yuanyi said.

He now understands his wife's personality very well. She doesn't like to deal with all these worldly matters, especially she doesn't like people who have complicated thoughts.

But nowadays, when people interact with each other, there is not so much sincerity.

"Let's wait and see! Our foundation in Fengdu is too shallow right now. If someone deliberately targets us, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back at all. It's actually beneficial to be close to the Lu family." Su Yueyao said.

She wants a comfortable life, but it's probably not easy nowadays. She has to compromise on things she doesn't like in order to survive.

When Su Yueyao and the others arrived, the Lu residence's housekeeper welcomed them in warmly.

"Miss Su is here, the master has been waiting for you to come!"

Su Yueyao nodded to the housekeeper and signaled the servants to bring in the gifts.

These were all prepared by Lu Yuanyi. Most of them were good medicinal herbs, and there was even a ginseng, which was considered a generous gift.

"This is a little gift from me and my husband." Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"Miss Su and Lord Ce are too polite. Please come in, all three of you."

Su Yueyao followed the housekeeper to the front yard. The Lu family's yard was decorated with more flowers and plants, giving it a quiet feeling.

"Except when she goes to the Imperial Hospital, Mistress Su Nujun likes to fiddle with flowers and plants most of the time, so everything displayed in the yard was planted by the Mistress herself," explained the housekeeper.

"I see. Very elegant!"

Su Yueyao arrived at the reception room and found a circle of people sitting inside.

When everyone saw Su Yueyao, those sitting below stood up and looked at her curiously.

Su Yueyao, Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin stood in the middle.

"Hello, Dean Lu, and Madam Lu." Su Yueyao bowed to the two of them as a junior.

Lu's mother was a third-rank official, so she could be called Madam.

Dean Lu half turned his body and only accepted half of the greeting, but the two were very satisfied with Su Yueyao's polite attitude.

Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin saluted.

"You are Yuan Yi and Yuan Jin, both of you are very handsome. Your father and mother wrote to me to help you when you are in trouble."

"We are somewhat related. Miss Su and Yuanyi, just call me uncle!" Dean Lu said with a smile.

"Okay, uncle." Su Nujun replied with a smile.

"Please sit down!" There are three seats on the right side, specially reserved for them.

"Thank you, uncle." Su Yueyao, Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin sat down.

The people on both sides also sat down.

Dean Lu briefly introduced who they were, including the young men and women from the second and third branches of the Lu family.

The elders from the second and third rooms did not show up.

Lu Wenxin was sitting opposite her. Lu Wenrui was also sitting there. When he saw Su Yueyao, he winked at her.

Su Yueyao also greeted them one by one. In fact, apart from Lu Wenxin and Lu Wenrui, she didn't remember the others.

What followed were just some polite words, and Su Yueyao answered them one by one.

"Uncle, aunt, His Majesty has given me the house next to the eldest prince's palace. When Yuanyi and I move in in a few days, we will hold a housewarming party and uncle and aunt can come over then." Su Yueyao said with a smile.

After Su Yueyao finished speaking, everyone looked at her in surprise. His Majesty treasured that house very much. No one expected that His Majesty would give it to Su Yueyao. It seemed that His Majesty really valued Su Yueyao!

"Now that Yueyao has spoken, uncle and aunt will definitely go." Dean Lu agreed with a smile.

"Yuanyi, I heard from your mother that you are an excellent doctor. Would you like to go to the pharmacy with me?"

"Okay, uncle." Lu Yuanyi stood up and looked at Su Yueyao again.

"You and your uncle go!" Su Yueyao said.

After Dean Lu and Lu Yuanyi left, Mother Lu stood up and said.

"Yueyao, this is your first time here. Let Wenxin and Wenrui take you around the house."

"Okay, Auntie."

As soon as Mother Lu left, the other princes and princesses gathered around curiously.

"Ms. Su, the picture of the rising sun you gave Wenxin is very beautiful. I heard from Wenxin that you drew it in the time it took to stick of incense?" asked a pretty and lovely girl.

This person seems to be the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Lu family. What was her name?... She forgot.

"Ms. Su, I went to watch the competition at the Pavilion of Literature. The piece of music you played was really nice. Can you teach me?" asked the eldest daughter of the third branch of the Lu family.

"Ms. Su, what kind of man do you like?" asked a young man.

"Ms. Su..."

Su Yueyao looked at the people surrounding her and suddenly felt socially anxious and embarrassed. Did she meet a fan?

"Everyone, how about we talk while walking, and greet each other one by one?" Su Yueyao looked at the women and gentlemen in front of her and found that they had no ill intentions.

"Listen to Miss Su's arrangements. Be more restrained. If you scare Miss Su away, be careful or my father will get angry." Lu Wenxin said.

"Okay! Sister Wenxin."

Everyone became much quieter and more obedient.

Su Yueyao looked at Lu Wenxin. She didn't expect that they were all willing to listen to Lu Wenxin.

Lu Wenxin led Su Yueyao around the yard, and they came to a lotus pond. The lotus pond was well-maintained and there were many lotus flowers in full bloom.

"Wenxin's lotus pond is so beautiful!" Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"Of course. The lotus flowers in the Lu Mansion are very famous in Fengdu. This one is still a small one. There are several larger ones over here. My mother likes lotus flowers very much, so my father specially arranged for people to plant them. There is also a lotus pond in my mother's yard. I heard that my father planted it bit by bit himself back then."

"The lotus flowers are not at their most beautiful now. Half of them have not bloomed yet. When midsummer comes, the pond will be full of lotus flowers. The scenery will be super beautiful." Lu Wenrui said.

"Yueyao, the Lu Mansion will hold a lotus viewing banquet in the summer, you must come and see it." Lu Wenxin continued.

"Okay, I will definitely come then." Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"Then Miss Su must think of some poems about lotus in advance. I'm afraid Miss Su is not afraid of paintings." The second wife's eldest daughter said with a smile.

"You guys are going to compete at this lotus viewing banquet!"

"It's not really a competition! My mother collects poems and paintings about lotus flowers every year, and the first place winner will be rewarded by the Lu family!" Lu Wenxin explained.

"Ms. Su, you can try! The grand prize is a beauty pill made by Uncle Lu himself. It is very good for women. Many young men want to get it and give it to their future wives when they get married." A young man said.

"I didn't expect Uncle Lu's medical skills are so great!" Su Yueyao said with a smile.

In fact, she is not interested in beauty pills. The face will age easily, and the relationship maintained by appearance will not last long.

"My dear wife, let's try it when the time comes!" Lu Yuanjin said happily when he heard it.

"If Yuanjin wants to come, let's come over. It's nice to come and admire the lotus flowers." Su Yueyao replied with a smile.

Everyone was surprised to see Su Yueyao speaking to Lu Yuanjin so gently, and the young masters were even more envious.

"Miss Su, you are at the palace banquet, why don't you marry those young men from noble families who chose you? What kind of man do you like?" a man asked.

"Hehe, I prefer quietness and don't want to marry so many." Su Yueyao replied awkwardly.

"Ms. Su, you still haven't answered my question about why the picture of the rising sun is so artistic?"

“This one actually uses contrasting colors, which is actually…”

Su Yueyao talked briefly about colors, and the eldest daughter of the second house nodded in surprise.

Afterwards, people asked Su Yueyao some questions one after another, and Su Yueyao answered them one by one.

In the end, on the grounds that Su Yueyao was a little tired, Lu Wenxin sent the ladies and gentlemen from the second and third rooms back.

After everyone left, Su Yueyao sat on the stone bench and said to Lu Wenxin: “Thank you Wenxin!”

"If you don't want to say anything more to them, just refuse directly." Lu Wenxin sat down and poured Su Yueyao a cup of tea and said.

"I feel like they are all young people, and they don't have any ill intentions. It's hard for me to refuse them. Besides, I'm here as a guest at your Lu family, and it would be bad if I acted like I was difficult to get along with!"

"I didn't expect Miss Su to think so much." Lu Wenrui said with a smile.

"I don't know if you've considered it much, but Yuanyi really wants to discuss medicine with your father."

"Yueyao, although Yuanyi and Yuanjin are from the side branches of my Lu family, aren't you doting on them too much?" Lu Wenxin said in a low voice when she heard this.

"Isn't it good to spoil them? This way they are good to me, and I am good to them. Isn't it a two-way journey?" Su Yueyao said as she looked at Lu Yuanjin who was having fun beside the lotus pond.

"Okay! The first time I saw you, I realized that you were different from other women."

"Wenxin, don't you and Mr. Lu study medicine?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.

"We two don't like it. I have two older brothers who were specially trained by our father." Lu Wenxin said.

"All right!"

"Actually, I'll tell you in secret. Wenrui and I also participated in the evaluation of the Writers' Hall this year, but we didn't pass the subjects and failed."

"Then why didn't I see you guys during the evaluation?"

"We went there without the knowledge of our elders. They didn't want Wenrui and I to go to the Literary Hall. They said that the Literary Hall was full of talented people and we couldn't stand that kind of environment."

"Sister, what you said is too nice. Father didn't let us go mainly because he was afraid that we would do too badly in the evaluation and bring shame to the Lu family." Lu Wenrui said.

"..."

"What truth is Wenrui telling you."

"..."

This is a real greeting from my father and brother...

"The literary competition is indeed difficult. I just took advantage of it. Otherwise, I would not have passed. If I had not passed, my position as Lord would have been in jeopardy. I am different from you. I have no way out."

"Miss Su, you are so good to your master. I envy him." Lu Wenrui said.

“He’s really nice to me.”

Su Yueyao thought about how she had just traveled through time and space, woke up by the cold pond, walked in the mountains for a day, and was rescued by Yang Qianxun. He then married her. At that time, she was penniless and had no place to live.

Although there were some problems in the middle, the best thing for her was to survive and have a place to live.
