Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 186 The Caravan Returns

As July approached and the weather got hotter, Lu Lingjun changed into thin summer clothes and moved to the ventilated and cool main room where he usually stayed in the small flower hall.
    In the backyard, apart from the fact that Du Ruo and Cheng Yunshuo had a quarrel but quickly made up, there was nothing serious going on.

    Qiu Ling and Ling Long were actually looking forward to the day when Du Ruo would fall out of favor so that they could make fun of her.

    Unfortunately, Du Ruo was still in great favor.

    After having a quarrel, she went back to her parents' home, and Cheng Yunshuo personally took her back.

    Lu Lingjun just listened to these little things and laughed it off.

    A rare major event was that Cheng Qi went to Dongzhimen to serve as an officer guarding the city.

    His sister Cheng Hui was taken to the inner courtyard by Lu Lingjun, who raised her.

    "Sister-in-law, I've finished writing."

    Cheng Hui stood up, picked up a calligraphy practice piece she had just written, and showed it to Lu Lingjun.

    Lu Lingjun looked at the page of large characters she had written carefully and said, "Well, it's well written."

    Cheng Huike is much more obedient than Du Ruo. She does whatever Lu Lingjun tells her to do and learns whatever Lu Lingjun tells her to learn.

    Cheng Hui's round eyes turned, "Sister-in-law, can I play for a while?"

    "Go ahead."

    With Lu Lingjun's permission, Cheng Hui immediately went to find Xia Mei with a smile on her face, and the two of them went to play games under the rose stand in the yard.

    Shuanghong came in with a large plate of chilled watermelon.

    Lu Lingyun called out to the two of them, "Don't just play, go eat the watermelon."

    Cheng Hui ran over, grabbed two pieces of watermelon, and she and Xia Mei shared one piece each and ate them in big mouthfuls. The bright red watermelon juice immediately covered their faces.

    Shuanghong saw this and laughed, "Young Madam, these two don't look like girls at all!"

    "That's how children should be." Lu Lingjun waved his round fan and said with a smile.

    At this time, the maid in the mansion came in with a happy face and reported.

    "Young Madam, you're back! You're back!"

    "Who's back?"

    "Captain Qian and Captain Qin of our caravan are back!"

    When she heard that Captain Qian was coming back, Shuanghong's eyes, who were standing next to Lu Lingjun, immediately lit up.

    After the beginning of this year, due to Lu Lingyun's suggestion, the two caravans of the Marquis' Mansion both ran along the Jiangnan route.

    The goods had been sent back several times during this period, but the two managers had not returned home. Now that it was the middle of the year, the two team leaders came to the mansion to report on their work.

    "Please come in!" Lu Lingjun said.

    Soon, Captain Qian and Captain Qin both came into Lu Lingyun's room.

    When the two men saw Lu Lingjun, they first knelt down and kowtowed.

    "Greetings to the young lady!"
