The second old lady of the Lu family is the younger brother of the late old lady Lu and the biological father of Lu Zaichang and Lu Zaiye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The second old lady Lu's study is extremely luxuriously decorated. There are all kinds of precious ornaments on the Bogu shelves of ash wood, and the walls are full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and those who know how to do it can see at a glance that they are fakes. A sweet, disgusting aroma wafted from the bronze beast-shaped incense burner, and several ledgers spread out on the ashwood bookcase.

The second old lady Lu sat on the circle chair behind the bookcase, her back against the back of the chair, her hands folded on her chest, and her head drooped to one side. The eyes under a pair of broom eyebrows were tightly closed. His eyes were sunken in his sockets, and his thin face was wrinkled like orange peel. If it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest with his breathing, others would have thought it was just a brown robe hanging on a bone shelf!

Lu Zhendong sat in a wheelchair and leisurely played with the teacup in his hand, lowering his eyelids to block the ridicule in his eyes. Listening to the heavy breathing of the second old lady Lu one after another, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ah Sheng stood behind Lu Zhendong, standing with his eyes and nose and nose attentive, silently calculating the time in his heart: It's been half an hour, this old man has been maintaining this posture and pretending to sleep, it's really amazing! I just don't know how long he can last.

Seeing the empty teacup handed to him by the young master of his family, he immediately lifted the teapot on the table to refill the tea, and secretly gloated in his heart: The young master is really dark enough, knowing that the second old lady is waiting for you to "drop the cup as a signal", but you sit and drink tea like Mount Tai, and you are stunned to let the second old lady persist in a posture for so long.

Second Master Lu sat there, his neck was about to break, his waist was sore, and his legs were numb, but he didn't dare to move. If it weren't for the thought of giving Lu Zhendong a dismount, he would have opened his eyes a long time ago and stopped pretending. Listening to Ah Sheng's voice of continuing tea, the fire in his heart rose at once, and he scolded hatefully: Little rabbit cub, I still can't finish drinking, why haven't you drunk tea?

As if he could hear his heart, Lu Zhendong, who had been sipping tea silently, actually sniffed out his voice. Old Man Lu unconsciously pursed his dry lips.

Wow! Ah Sheng's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide silently, and he tugged hard at the placket of his clothes so that he didn't let himself laugh, but his face was suffocated and red. I can't help but admire my young master even more.

Lu Zhendong glanced at the second old lady Lu on the circle chair with a smile, lowered his eyelids, and continued to suck the tea.

"Ahh looked at Lu Zhendong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked in surprise, "Brother Dong, why are you here?"

"Second Uncle Ancestor, it's been almost half an hour since I came here. Lu Zhendong put down the teacup, and his voice revealed a little dissatisfaction and grievance.

The corners of the second old lady Lu's mouth raised a smug smile, fighting with me, it was still a little tender. Reaching out to pick up the teacup on the corner of the table, he drank tea for a while, frowning and looking at the empty teacup in front of him. Pushing the teacup towards Ah Sheng, he motioned for him to pour the tea.

Ah Sheng's face tensed, and he walked over with a teapot with a smile. The spout of the teapot was tilted over the top of the teacup, and nothing came out. Leaning a little more, there is still no movement. Unbelievingly, Ah Sheng continued to lean down hard, and this time water flowed out. It's just a few drops, though.

Ah Sheng scratched his head, smiled innocently, and shook the teapot a few more times.

The beard on the lips of the second old lady Lu trembled, and her nose was crooked. If it weren't for the crisp sound of the teacup hitting the table, which brought him back to his senses, he would have smashed the cup in Ah Sheng's face. He glanced at Lu Zhendong in a wheelchair, wondering if he had intentionally or unintentionally put the cup so heavy. glared at Ah Sheng fiercely, and scolded: "What are you doing stupidly?!Hurry up and make tea!"

Ah Sheng didn't answer the call to pour the tea, nor did he say anything disobedient, but just made the smile on his face more sincere.

"Second Uncle Ancestor, I came here to tell you something. Before the second old lady Lu got angry, Lu Zhendong said softly.

Ah Sheng immediately put the teapot on the table and stood beside him, which showed the tacit understanding between the master and servant.

"You ・・・・・・"

"Second Uncle Ancestor, it's been five or six days since I returned to the capital. Lu Zhendong interrupted the words of the second old lady Lu, and said with some anger and grievances, "In the past few days, the people in the yard have been lazy and slippery. On such a cold day, there are no braziers in the house, and it is even more infuriating that sometimes the meals are not timely・・・・・・"

"Okay, you can go to your second aunt for these things. Second Old Lady Lu interrupted his indignant words, with an amiable smile on her face, but she was very impatient with these trivial things in her heart.

Seeing that Lu Zhendong was about to speak, he reassured him earnestly, "Now it's the New Year's Festival, and the people in the capital are more troublesome than in Huzhou." Your second aunt is alone in the middle feed of the entire house, and it is inevitable that there will be some negligence. We're all a family, and we don't talk to each other, right? So there are some things that you need to be more considerate of. However, don't worry, since you have found the second grandfather here today, the second grandfather will definitely call the shots for you. Don't take it to heart, it's about to be the New Year, and it's not worth it to be angry with those minions. ”

The second old lady felt that the more he spoke, the smoother it became, and his heart was ecstatic. This is the advantage of staying in the capital this year, I have come into contact with so many dignitaries, and my identity has also risen, and it is simply easy to take on such a thing.

"It's really better to see than to hear it! The second uncle's ability to talk empty words on the shelf is simply handy now! It seems that the rumor that the second uncle has been like a fish in water in the capital this year is not a lie. Lu Zhendong flicked his unwrinkled robe and said with a smile.

"Hehe!" Second Old Lady Lu smiled quite smugly, and automatically ignored the previous sentence. It is said that the water in the capital is deep, like a tiger's den in Longtan, and many people are discouraged by this. At the beginning, he was also trembling and walking on thin ice, but after a few times, he let go, and soon opened up the situation as in Huzhou. Criticizing those who say such things is either cowardly and incompetent, or stupid and clumsy.

"The second uncle was able to open up the situation so quickly, and the nephew and grandson are also happy for you. It's just that the second uncle and ancestor don't forget, they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. After Lu Zhendong finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and slowly took two sips of tea.

The second old lady Lu licked her dry lips, felt that there was not much saliva in her mouth, and scolded secretly: Little rabbit cub! Lu Zhendong's leisurely voice sounded at the right time: "Second Uncle Ancestor, in fact, I came to you today for something important. ”
