Chapter 5: The Family Feast
When Lu Xiangzhi went to find Lu Lingzhi, Mrs. Lu had already asked Ye Hao to meet the other brothers.
Several sisters of the Lu family have not yet come, and now the sons of the Lu family are standing in the hall, I don't know why, these sons and brothers who have obviously reached the age of marriage have not yet married.
The Lu family is already an upstart in Kyoto, and there are many people who want to please their family, these four sons, I am afraid that they have become hot candidates for husbands, and now Lu Lingzhi, who is just a squire in the military department, will become the secretary of the military department in two years, and he is Murong Zhan's right-hand man.
"This is your second brother, third brother. Lu Shiming introduced her to the two young men in the hall, the second brother Lu Tingzhi and the third brother Lu Zan Zhi, both of whom were very handsome and bright-looking sons.
Ye Hao obediently called people and kept their appearance in mind.
As he was talking, there was the laughter of Yingying Yanyan outside, and two girls of similar age walked in, immediately injecting a beautiful scenery into the hall.
Both of them are delicate and cute, which makes people shine.
This should be the girls of the Lu family.
Lu Er's girl is from the big house, Lu Si is from the second room, and only Lu Shuang'er and Xiao Wu's five-year-old girl are the girls.
In the eyes of the Lu family, Ye Hao is also a descendant.
"Remember, remember? I went to see you the other day. "Lu Er's girl is older than Ye Hao, not as beautiful as Lu Shuang'er, but she also has the beauty of a small jasper.
Ye Hao doesn't remember her anymore, she was trapped in the memories of her previous life and her sister's memories in those days, and the whole person was in a daze, who looked at her didn't know, where did she remember her face, "Second sister, I just don't remember, I have to remember it now." ”
Miss Lu Si was about the same age as Ye Hao, but she was two months younger than Ye Hao, so she stood next to Old Madam Lu, just looked at Ye Hao lightly, and didn't plan to come forward to talk to her.
Ye Hao already remembered the two Lu family girls in her heart at a glance, the second girl Lu looked kind and gentle, and she smiled at everyone, and the fourth girl Lu looked a little unsavory, and seemed to look down on her, and didn't even look at her.
There is also a fifth sister who did not come, I heard that I followed Uncle Lu to Jiangnan, and I don't know when I will come back.
Lu Xiangzhi, who went to find Lu Lingzhi, also came back, "...... Someone suddenly came to the palace and called the eldest brother, and the eldest brother was about to ask someone to come over and say that he was afraid that he would not come back tonight. ”
Unlike Mrs. Lu's disappointment, Ye Hao was really relieved, very good, she didn't have to see Lu Lingzhi so soon.
She wasn't afraid of him, she was just ...... She still needs time to think about how to face Lu Lingzhi, who has become her cousin.
Next is the family banquet, Mrs. Lu called Ye Hao to sit beside her, and next to her was Lu Lingzhi.
The Lu family's tutor is not strict, there is no rule of eating and not speaking, Ye Hao is a little unaccustomed, her education is required by the norms of the daughter of the family, and she never chatters at the dinner table.
But Mrs. Lu either asked her how life was in the border city, or she was unwilling to speak, so she had to explain, and finally simply forgot all the rules she had learned before, and talked happily with Mrs. Lu, coaxing the old lady to like her more and more.
"The border city is fun, big brother...... The fourth brother will take me to hunt sparrows before, we will roast sparrows in the mountains to eat, I can eat several times at a time, the fourth brother also stole my father's wine, but he only let me drink a small glass, and in the summer we went to the river to catch fish, the fourth brother is so bad, hiding in the water and not coming out, I can't swim, thinking that something happened to him, crying to find someone to save him, he jumped out of the water, scared me into the river......"
Old Madam Lu listened to Ye Hao's words, and smiled and beat Lu Xiangzhi, who was sitting on the other side of her, "Bad boy, it's really necrotic!"
"Grandmother, this is all in the past, you don't know, this girl is just a bad belly. Lu Xiangzhi hurriedly begged for mercy, and for a while, there was laughter and laughter at the dinner table.
Ye Hao saw that Old Madam Lu shifted her attention to Lu Xiangzhi, she smiled faintly, lowered her head and drank and lay down.
After the family banquet, Ye Hao was already a little tired, she had just recovered her body, and she spent most of the day on pleasing Mrs. Lu, and now she couldn't support it.
Pei felt sorry for his daughter, pulled her to sit down beside him, and saw that her face was not too bad, so he whispered, "I can go back in a while." ”
Ye Hao looked at Pei's loving eyes, and felt awkward in her heart, she had no feelings for everyone in the Lu family, but her sister was raised by the Lu family, and the people she should hate were not the Lu family, only Lu Lingzhi and Lu Shuang'er.
Old Madam Lu noticed the tiredness on Ye Hao's face, so she asked her to go back and rest first, "After all, I have just recovered from my illness, and I will take care of it in the next few days." ”
Ye Hao couldn't hold on, so she retired and went back to her small courtyard first.
A few of the boys also withdrew from the hall and drank a little wine in the warm pavilion on the east side.
Lu Tingzhi touched Lu Xiangzhi with his wine glass, "Little Si, have you been okay in the border city all these years?"
"Well, I was a little unaccustomed to life in the border city at first, but gradually I liked it. Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, "Second brother must go to the border city if he has a chance in the future, and I will take you everywhere to play." ”
"It's your temperament that brought the third sister badly. Lu Tingzhi said with a smile.
"Haha, big brother, you're wrong, I've been an idle girl since I was a child, I don't need me to teach her badly, she's already wilted and wilted, and on the first day of girls' school, she beat up other girls. Lu Xiangzhi said with a laugh.
Lu Tingzhi laughed when he heard this, "When the third sister was born, you didn't go to the border city yet, right?"
The third uncle's family went to the border city fourteen years ago, and he remembered that he had never heard that the third aunt was pregnant, so why did he have a daughter not long after he arrived in the border city?
Lu Xiangzhi went to the border city with his parents when he was three years old, Lu Shiming was in the medicinal herb business, and Pei was a doctor, he had actually forgotten how there was a younger sister in the family, from the beginning of the dislike, to the later liking, it was only a few months.
"Where do I remember such a long time ago, but when my sister was born, her health was not very good, and my mother took care of it for a long time...... Fortunately, they were all raised later. Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, he didn't want others to know that he was adopted.
He was sad for so long after he knew about it, he was timid when he saw him for a while, not as generous and lively as usual, he knew that she seemed to be very aggressive, but in fact she was sensitive and delicate, I was afraid that she would think too much and feel inferior, and now in the Lu family's mansion, he didn't want others to despise her.
Lu Tingzhi nodded, and there was no doubt in his heart.
