Reborn: The First Rank 'Madam” – C161

C161 – Door (1)

The madame looked at her son’s daughter-in-law kneeling before her. She felt both gratified and emotional. She did not make things difficult for them and took a sip from her teacup before handing each of them a red letter.

“Get up, we’ll be a family in the future. As an old woman, she doesn’t have any extravagant hopes. As long as the family is happy, it’s fine.” Before the madame left the pavilion, she had seen many deceitful people. After marrying her husband, she had calmed down, not having the same worries as her concubines and her children. The husband and wife had spent most of their time together, and their only son had gone to the battlefield earlier.

After greeting Ann, she let Maid Zhong take Zuo Shaoqing to get to know the relatives of Lu Family. On the side, she indistinctly pointed out: “It’s rare to have so many children here today, so the house suddenly became quite lively.”

Zuo Shaoqing saw how anxious they were to push their children out, so how could he not understand? He secretly glanced at Lu Zheng and saw that his face was expressionless and his eyes were calm. For a moment, he could not figure out what Lu Zheng was thinking.

However, this scene made Zuo Shaoqing secretly heave a sigh of relief. At least, it meant that the madame had no intention of giving Lu Zheng a concubine.

“Madam, this is my third son. He already knows a lot of words at the age of two. He is very clever and obedient.” A beautiful woman pushed a little girl in front of Zuo Shaoqing and urged, “Huan`er, quickly call for someone ...”

The little boy raised his head, had the face of a golden boy, and revealed an untidy set of teeth as he smiled and said, “Greetings, Aunt.”

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing’s mouth twitched, and the wind suddenly blew wildly ...

If anything dissatisfied him the most when he married into Duke Zhen Manor, it was definitely this title. Since yesterday, all the servants that saw him respectfully greeted him: “Madam.”

Previously, he didn’t have the time or energy to correct these terms, but now after hearing these little guys call each other ‘Aunt’ or ‘Sister-in-law’, his scalp began to tingle.

He forced out a twisted smile, took a purse from Luo Xiaoliu and gave it to the kid. He said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes: “Good boy, this is Uncle’s greeting gift.”

After all, the little ghost was only two years old. Previously, he was taught by his mother countless times to only remember those three words. Now that he heard Zuo Shaoqing’s different address, he was at a loss.

Zuo Shaoqing didn’t think too much about it, rubbed his head and walked towards the next position.

After a circle, he did not remember who was who. He only remembered which brat was able to read and write.

His legs were so weak that they could barely hold on. It felt as if hundreds of needles were stabbing into his body. Luckily, Lu Zheng kept his arm around his waist, allowing him to barely finish walking around.

When he returned to the Qinglu Garden where he and Lu Zheng were at, Zuo Shaoqing threw himself onto the bed and didn’t even want to move.

Lu Zheng took off his outer robe and changed into the home’s cotton dress. He sat on the bed and patted Zuo Shaoqing’s buttocks, “Lie down and sleep a little more.”

Zuo Shaoqing cried out “oh”. He turned his head and looked at Lu Zheng with sparkling eyes. Then, he inched his body towards the side of the bed and let go of half of the bed, silently inviting Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and covered Zuo Shaoqing’s body with a quilt. He laughed deeply and said, “If you still want to have a good rest, then don’t look at me like this.”

Zuo Shaoqing thought about Lu Zheng’s warm embrace, but after thinking about his body right now, he decided that life was more important. Thus, he smiled obsequiously: “You are busy with work, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

After saying that, he quickly took off his clothes and threw them out of the bed. With a tug on the blanket, he fell asleep.

Lu Zheng was amused by his actions. He looked at the documents on the bed for a while, then got someone to send the documents in and sit on the brick bed in front of the window to read them.

The navy had already been reorganized, and all the soldiers that needed to be eliminated had been sent out. All that remained were the construction of battleships and the new recruits. These were both things that could not be completed in a short period of time.

Therefore, Lu Zheng wasn’t in a hurry. He picked a few useful people from the sea bandits that he caught last time and was ready to nurture a group of high-ranking officers who understood the battles in the sea. As for the new recruits, they should first practice their basic skills.

Zuo Shaoqing rested on the bed for one day and one night. Every few hours, he would be pressed down by Lu Zheng to apply the medicine on his pants. By the second day, he had actually recovered pretty much completely.

At that time, Lu Zheng sighed with emotion as he applied the medicine: “What a great talent.”

Halfway there, Zuo Shaoqing asked, “Can I discuss something with you?”

“Hmm?”

“Can we change the name?” They call me ‘Madam’ all the time, and I’m not used to it. “

“What’s wrong, Madam? Aren’t you my wife? ” Lu Zheng lowered his head slightly and called out to Zuo Shaoqing in a deep voice, “Madam ...”

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed his arm and suppressed the goosebumps on his body with difficulty. “Cough, cough ...” You and I are men, it’s always a little too feminine to be called that. They call it awkward, and it sounds awkward to me. “

Lu Zheng grunted but didn’t express any opinion. However, when Zuo Shaoqing returned home, he found that everyone had consciously changed their words when they saw him.

Since then, San Ye had been living in Duke Zhen’s residence.

Zuo’s Mansion’s gatekeeper had already seen from far away a group of people slowly approaching with great momentum. When he saw the person seated on the leading big horse clearly, he was so shocked that he scrambled into the manor to report the news.

“Master... Madam ... San Ye returned to the door ... “

Although Zuo Yunwen didn’t forget that he had married a son, he didn’t expect that his son would actually come back to the sect. Zuo Yunwen was filled with mixed feelings and didn’t know if he should be happy or terrified.

However, regardless of his feelings, when he found out that Master Lu had also come to visit, he had no choice but to dress up and go out to welcome him.

Therefore, when Zuo Shaoqing and Lu Zheng jumped down from their horses at Zuo’s Mansion gate, they saw that other than Zuo Shuhui, the rest of the masters of Zuo Family were all standing respectfully at the gate to welcome them.

Mrs. Xue looked at Duke Zhen Manor’s grand display and gritted her teeth. How great would it be if her daughter returned home?

When the family had finished with their rituals, Lu Zheng waved his hand without a care, “No need to be overly polite, we’re all family. Master Zuo didn’t forget that today is Shao Qing’s way of returning home, right?”

Zuo Yunwen wiped off his cold sweat and replied with a lack of confidence: “Of course ...” “Of course I haven’t forgotten. Come in quickly!”

Lu Zheng walked openly in front of everyone, holding Zuo Shaoqing by the hand. He frowned as he entered and said, “I remember that Shao Qing didn’t come out of the house. So what happened to the red silk that filled the house?”

“This... “This old one’s daughter will be married in a few days, so ...”

“Oh?” Lu Zheng stopped his steps, dragged his tail and narrowed his eyes, “So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect that in Master Zuo’s heart, his daughter is more valuable.”

Without waiting for Zuo Yunwen to explain, he coldly snorted: “Or rather, is this Zuo’s Mansion really like what others said, only knowing how to bully a weak bastard?”

“I don’t dare to!” Zuo Yunwen quickly explained, “Master Lu misunderstood. Previously, my son desperately wanted to marry out of his second uncle’s family, so I was helpless. These are actually all prepared for Shao Qing. I just remembered that my daughter still needs them so I didn’t tear them apart.”

“Clap clap ...” Zuo Shaoqing clapped his hands happily and said, “Father didn’t say that his son is going to forget, but elder sister went out the day after tomorrow, right? ...” “Aiya, how come my son vaguely remembers that she was married to a concubine?”

Wu Tie gave him a meaningful glance, but Zuo Shaoqing didn’t want to respond to him at all. He continued, “Son, you seem to remember that you can’t use bright red as a concubine, right?” He turned around and asked with a serious expression, “Master Lu, am I right?”

Lu Zheng scratched his palm, and nodded with a smile in his eyes: “Indeed so. Thinking about it, your Zuo Family has been around for generations, so you don’t even know this little bit of etiquette, right?”

Mrs. Xue listened to their mocking, did not dare to retort to Lu Zheng, and could only point her spearhead at Zuo Shaoqing, “Shao Qing is wrong, you can marry a man, your elder sister can’t be considered out of line even with a bit of red.”

Zuo Shaoqing blinked and innocently asked, “Is our son’s marriage bestowed by the Emperor? Don’t tell me Big Sis also has special approval from the Emperor’s imperial edict? Tsk tsk, my son’s news fell behind. “

Zuo Yunwen grabbed Mrs. Xue, who still wanted to say something, and said respectfully, “It’s just my negligence. I’ll have someone rearrange it later.”

Lu Zheng nodded: “After all, this is my wife’s family, you have to pay attention to what you need to. Otherwise, if I get a piece of history recital tomorrow, my face won’t look good either.”

“Yes, yes ...” Zuo Yunwen replied obediently.
