Reward

"Of course it's excellent. In fact, I wanted to talk to the lady about this before."

Hou Si was very happy. The older he got, the more he hoped to spend more time with his relatives.

He is also very clear about the situation in Chengyuan Villa, and he also trusts Lu Yaoyao very much. If his wife and children can come here, Lu Yaoyao will never treat them badly.

And I can often meet with them when I have nothing to do.

"Since you are willing, then it's settled."

"You go back first and bring your wife and children over after the New Year. Then go directly to Lao Kang. I have already told him that I will arrange everything for your wife and children."

"Thank you, miss."

After sitting in Baizhenlou for a while, someone came from the Lu family.

He said that there was a decree coming from the palace and asked her to go back quickly to receive it.

She immediately stood up and walked out with Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang.

"Miss, why do you suddenly remember the investigation of Madam? Is there any problem?"

Qiu Yu on the carriage asked with some confusion.

"There's no problem. It's just that Eunuch Wang De said he knew my mother. I'm a little curious. I haven't heard of my mother before, so I just checked it out."

"Oh, but this servant really didn't expect that Madam actually knows Eunuch Wang De and has met His Majesty."

"No wonder Eunuch Wang De and His Majesty acted a little strangely when they first met you."

Lu Yaoyao smiled.

He didn't say anything, just thinking that since even Hou Si couldn't find anything through investigation, it seemed that he could only wait until enough points were accumulated.

Soon the carriage arrived at the Lu Mansion. At this time, the palace carriage was parked behind the gate.

"Mr. Wang De has been kept waiting for a long time."

"The princess is joking, the old slave has just arrived."

Wang De stood up with a smile and saluted Lu Yaoyao.

"Princess Wanfu accepts the order."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao and others stood up one after another, and just as they were about to kneel down, Wang De quickly said, "Your Majesty has spoken, so there is no need to kneel down."

Then Wang De began to read out the imperial edict.

They are all rewards, such as silk and satin, high-quality furs, and ten high-quality Eastern pearls.

"Princess, Your Majesty knows that you have returned to the capital, so I sent this old slave to tell you to go to the palace and sit more often when you have time."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I will come to the palace to express my gratitude to you someday."

Wang De smiled, handed over the imperial edict and the rewards, and returned to the palace with his companions without staying long.

"His Majesty has been very kind to our Yaoyao. Look at these rewards. They are all first-class special gifts."

Mrs. Zhao said with a happy face.

The more favored Lu Yaoyao is, the higher the status of the Lu family will be.

Living in the capital for the past six months, their horizons have expanded a lot, and they have gained a lot of knowledge and understanding of their status.

I recall that when the Lu family was in Jiangdong, even a county magistrate would give them endless headaches.

What now? When they arrived in the capital, a place where powerful people gathered, their status was actually much higher than when they were in Jiangdong.

Especially in the past few months, they occasionally went out. If they met other powerful people and learned that they were Lu Yaoyao's family members, they would come over and say hello politely.

Such treatment makes their faces very bright.

"Come on, eldest aunt, second aunt, cousin, come and choose what you like."

"There are so many rewards that I can't use up all by myself. Each of us can make two sets of clothes."

"No, no, your Majesty has given this to you. How can we take it?"

"Yes, Yaoyao, we understand your kindness. These precious things are not for us to use."

Zhao and Yuan waved their hands repeatedly.

Although they all looked at these things with enthusiasm, they never thought about getting them.

They are still very self-aware, and there are some things that ordinary people like them cannot wear.

"What can't this do?"

"I say it can be done, don't worry, no one will say anything."

"Come here and let me choose for you."

After saying this, Lu Yaoyao stepped forward and looked through the silks and satins one by one.

"Yao Yao has this intention, so don't postpone it."

Mr. Lu said with a smile, then looked at Lu Yaoyao and said, "Yaoyao, it's good that you have such a heart for these silks."

"But the fur and Dongzhu must not be taken out."

In this ancient time when there were not enough materials to keep out the cold, things like fur were very high-grade goods.

The better the fur, the stricter the rules.

Not just anyone can wear it, not because it’s expensive, but because of the restrictions on status.

Just like the furs awarded by the imperial palace this time, only dignitaries of at least third grade or above are qualified to wear them.

If civilians dare to wear it like this, it is against etiquette and they will be prosecuted.

The Dongzhu here is of a higher level, and civilians are not qualified to wear it at all. Those who can use it are only qualified ladies and royal family members.

"Yes, yes, you can't mess with the etiquette."

"Grandpa, uncle, don't worry. Although these things cannot be worn, they can be used to press the bottom of the box."

With that said, she picked out a piece of Firefox leather and an East Pearl and came to Lu Mingxi.

"My cousin, something good is coming soon. As my sister, I will give you these two things as a dowry."

"this"

As soon as he heard that good things were about to happen, Lu Mingxi's little face turned red. When he heard that Lu Yaoyao was actually going to give her such a precious thing as a dowry, he waved his hand quickly, regardless of his shyness.

"No, no, these things are too valuable, I absolutely can't have them."

"What's so valuable? How can it be as valuable as the friendship between us sisters?"

Lu Mingxi didn't know what to say for a moment, so he looked at his mother Zhao for help.

And Zhao was also very hesitant.

This kind of fur is not easy to see among ordinary people, and it goes without saying that Dongzhu. Even in the homes of some powerful people, Dongzhu is considered a treasure and will not be taken out easily.

"Take it, your cousin has this intention, and she can't live up to it."

In the end, it was Mr. Lu who spoke, and Lu Mingxi took the things and thanked Lu Yaoyao very gratefully.

This thing is good, really good. If you put it in your dowry, it will definitely look very flattering.

"Mingxi, you must remember how good your cousin is."

"Yes, yes, girl, don't forget how kind your cousin is to you."

While Lu Xiu and Zhao were happy, they did not forget to warn Lu Mingxi.

"Um."

Then Lu Yaoyao took out a piece of snow-white leather and an East Pearl for his little cousin Lu Yiyi.

"Thank you, cousin."

Lu Yiyi was young and had relatively simple ideas. Seeing that Lu Yaoyao also gave her a copy, she was very happy to accept it.

"You girl are not polite at all."

Lu Kang smiled and touched Lu Yiyi's little head.

"Yaoyao, thank you."

"Second uncle, why are you so polite to me?"

Finally, she turned to look at the brothers Lu Wenyuan and Lu Wenfu who were looking at her eagerly, and said with a smile: "These are for women, so my cousin won't give them to you now."
