Chapter 273: The Past
"Hmph!" Mrs. Lu snorted coldly, smiled mockingly, and said disdainfully, "It's just the daughter of a merchant, and I am willing to greet her and arrange her seat in the middle, which has already given her a lot of face." www.biquge.info What else does she want? If the lady of the Kong family is blocking her, it would be good if she turned around and left, why did she still die and beg to stay in the Lu Mansion and not leave? To put it bluntly, don't you want to touch the light of our Lu family? I have seen a lot of people like her, that is, ・・・・・・" Mrs. Lu became more and more smooth, and she didn't see Lu Sheng's face as black as the bottom of a pot at all.
"Gurgle", Lu Sheng put the tea cup on the table, the sound was not loud, but it made Mrs. Lu feel shocked, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed raw. She raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Sheng in surprise, met Lu Sheng's calm eyes, put her hand on her lap and unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her eyes turned away weakly, and she didn't dare to look at him.
Lu Sheng looked at Mrs. Lu calmly, and said lightly: "I repeat, the Yu family has a life-saving grace for me, and I treat Lan Xin's child as my own son and nephew." Also, if Mrs. feels uncomfortable in this Jiangzhou city, she can go back to Pingzhou to live for a few days. Lu Sheng's tone was calm and unwavering, but it made Mrs. Lu's heart beat like a drum.
Lu Sheng lowered his eyes, too lazy to look at her pretended calm face. He stood up, dropped a "Hello, do it yourself!" and walked out. Staring at the open and composite door, Mrs. Lu only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and Lu Sheng's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring her from head to toe.
"What do you mean, sir, are you going to divorce me?" said Mrs. Lu, stirring the handkerchief in her hand, and muttered to herself in a flustered and trembling voice. After so many years of husband and wife, he had never said such heavy words to her. He mentioned Pingzhou, which meant to warn, and also reminded her not to forget that she was just a merchant girl.
"Old lady, if you drink tea now, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a while, and I won't be able to sleep. In the dim light, Ding's mother watched Mrs. Lu pick up the teacup again and whispered to dissuade.
"It's okay, it's just two sips. Old Madam Lu said nonchalantly, but still put the teacup on the small table next to her. Picked up the pillow beside him, found a comfortable position, and leaned back on the soft couch. Taking off the daytime makeup, the wrinkles at the corners of Mrs. Lu's eyes seemed to be deeper. A head of white hair was loosely held behind his head, and under the dim light, there was a tiredness that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.
"Alas!" Ding's mother sighed secretly in her heart, lowered her eyes, and blocked the helplessness in her eyes. Pursing the corners of his mouth, he said with a smile: "It's not too early for the slave to look at the sky. The lord and the lady have also been busy for a day, and they must have rested by this time. ”
Old Madam Lu's eyelids opened a slit, and she glanced at Ding's mother with a smile, and then closed her eyes again. After a while, she sighed helplessly: "Brother Sheng'er's brain is flexible, not as stubborn as the old lady, and he goes to the end with one tendon." The old lady's qualifications are not high, but people are willing to work hard and endure hardships. It's that people are too sincere to accept the favor of others. Otherwise, because of the Li family's bowl of porridge, Brother Sheng's marriage could not be easily decided. ”
It turned out that when Mrs. Lu was young, she was released as a county magistrate of a county. At that time, the world was full of strife, bandits, and trouble. Old lady Lu personally led people up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but someone leaked the news, and the bandits had already been prepared. But Mrs. Lu's people were caught off guard, and in the chaos, Mrs. Lu and her subordinates were separated.
Mistaken in the dense forest, lost his way. He relied on eating wild fruits, drinking spring water, and strong perseverance to finally walk out of the dense forest. Old lady Lu, who was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy, stared directly at the noodles in other people's bowls, her lips couldn't help but squirm, and she swallowed the saliva in her mouth. The noodle eater felt a diaphragm in his heart, so he dropped the noodles in the bowl and left.
Old lady Lu didn't care so much, so she directly picked up the bowl and snorted and ate it, after a bowl of belly, not only did she not fill her stomach, but she was even hungrier. The owner of the noodle stall saw that Mrs. Lu didn't look like a bad person, so he served the noodles that the guest didn't want, and added a side dish and two steamed buns to him.
After Mrs. Lu was full, she took off the jade pendant on her body and told the noodle stall owner that she could go to the yamen to find him in the future. As long as it is not a matter of favoritism, he will help him. A few years later, his subordinates told Mrs. Lu that a person surnamed Li came to him with a jade pendant at the door, saying that he had invited him to eat noodles and steamed buns.
Old lady Lu recognized it as the jade pendant she had put on the noodle stall back then, and asked her to invite that Boss Li in. Old lady Lu saw that it was the same person at the noodle stall back then, so he asked him what was embarrassing?
That Boss Li hesitated for a long time and said that his family had a daughter, who was smart and smart, and she was also good-looking, and wanted to marry the Lu family as Qin and Jin. Mrs. Lu thought about it and agreed to the marriage. By the time Mrs. Lu knew about this, Mrs. Lu had already exchanged tokens with others.
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she turned her back, and immediately went to find Mrs. Lu to theorize, but she didn't expect that when she saw Mrs. Lu, he was already terminally ill. Old lady Lu didn't expect his illness to be so fierce, he held his wife's hand tightly, and said guiltily: "It's for her husband to be reckless." Looking at that jade pendant, I remembered the kindness of a meal back then, and I couldn't say anything if I refused. I thought in my heart, when the children in the future, their marriage will be decided by you. I didn't expect that I didn't have the blessing to have other children. ”
Mrs. Lu looked at her sallow husband, and all the complaining words could only be swallowed back. It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to say more. All the bitterness can only turn into a helpless sigh, a handful of bitter tears, and only you can experience it.
Mother Ding looked at the cloudy tears in the corners of Mrs. Lu's eyes, and her eyes were also red. After so many years, it was a foregone conclusion, and all words of comfort pale in comparison. Holding the beauty hammer, gently pounding her legs.
"Alas!" Old Madam Lu took the handkerchief, pressed the corners of her eyes, and sighed helplessly, "Brother Sheng'er's temperament that can't stand the favor of others is really similar to the old lady!"
Ding's mother thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about the old lady, according to the slave maid, the girl of the Yu family is a person who knows right from wrong and knows how to be courteous." Perhaps, it will be Brother Sheng's help in the future!"
Old Madam Lu said disapprerovingly: "Hmph, it's not uncommon! As long as she doesn't make trouble for Brother Sheng, it's good." ”
