Lu Chongyu took gifts to visit Jinfu with his mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoJin Yichen took this opportunity to invite his study to talk. Lu Chongyu took a one-foot-square brocade box from the hand of the attendant and gave it to Jin Yichen.
"Cousin Jin just came to Huaiyuan County, and now it is inconvenient to go out to meet friends. Thinking that my brother was afraid that you would be lonely, I brought a chess game over, and when you had nothing to do, you had a good time with the brothers in the house, so as to relieve the boredom of schoolwork!"
What Lu Chongyu brought was the "military chess" made by Lu Ruxue, and for this, he went to the "Dian Medicine Garden" early in the morning to find his sister for help.
"How could my brother think of sending this if he is so decent?"
Lu Ruxue is not against Lu Chongyu giving away the things she likes to her friends, not to mention that she made five pairs of chess at the beginning, one for Lu Chongyu, and one for her second cousin Lu Chongwu, and now she still has three pairs in her hand.
"Good sister, you also know that my brother has nothing to give to the cousin of the Jin family. After all, Aunt Wu has a deep relationship with her mother, and she can't give away some inconspicuous gadgets. didn't let Aunt Wu misunderstand, thinking that now that they have lost power, we will go to someone's house!"
Lu Chongyu's words reminded Lu Ruxue, and ordered Caixing to open the treasury and take a pair of "military chess" and hand it to him.
"My brother sent it, and my sister also felt that this thing was useful to the cousin of the Jin family. But there is one thing, I can't mention that this thing was made by my sister, otherwise it will be suspected of giving it to each other privately!"
This ancient feudal is very feudal, women can't give men things, even some inconspicuous gadgets.
"This is nature!" Of course Lu Chongyu knows to avoid it, which is related to his sister's reputation. So Lu Chongyu gave things to Jin Yichen, but he didn't mention Lu Ruxue at all.
"This chess is so strange, dare to ask Cousin Lu, I don't know how to play?"
Jin Yichen was dedicated to practicing martial arts and reading, and he didn't dare to be interested in these things to play, but this chess looked like a military map. So just one look, I was intrigued.
Lu Chongyu explained the gameplay in detail, and also played against Jin Yichen.
"Cousin Lu, this is a good thing, it is very useful to my cousin, thank you cousin for the gift!" Jin Yichen saluted to the end, and he was really grateful to Lu Chongyu from the bottom of his heart.
"It's just a side chess, why does Cousin Jin need to be so polite!"
Lu Chongyu was happy in his heart, the reaction of the cousin of the Jin family was the same as he thought at the beginning, this thing was really more liked by people who practiced martial arts. Because of a pair of "military chess", the two teenagers formed a deep friendship.
The Yun family came this time and sat for a short hour, and then reluctantly said goodbye and returned to the Lu Mansion with his son.
Wu sent people out of the house, and then he heard his son say that Lu Chongyu gave him a pair of "military chess".
praised Lu Chongyu's strict family style and sincerity, so that his son had more dealings with Lu Chongyu, and more hoped that his son and Yun's son would become brothers with different surnames like himself and Yun's.
And the Yun family, who returned to the Lu Mansion, had a sad face, and there was a faint anger in his expression. Lu Chongyu didn't know what to do, thinking that his mother had a dislike for Aunt Wu, so he hurriedly asked his sister to come over and relieve his mother.
Before Lu Ruxue came, she had heard Caiyue talk about her brother's worries, so she entered the "Siyi Garden" and did not find a chair to sit down as before, but sat next to her mother.
"Mother went to the Golden Mansion today, but she sat for a long time. It must have been talking to Aunt Wu for a while, and when my daughter came, she came with thirst-quenching tea, and my mother tried it!"
"Okay! It's still the mother's daughter who is the most intimate!" Yun took the tea bowl and took a sip, and then told his daughter about going to Jinfu today.
"Hey!" As soon as he remembered meeting with Wu Shi today, Yun Shi first sighed deeply, "Your cousin Jin is now motivated, and your Aunt Wu can be regarded as having hope!"
"But this Jin Mansion is different from our Lu Mansion. Although it is the same ancestral house, there are many clansmen of the Jin family living in the Jin Mansion, and your Aunt Wu is now with her son, just like a guest living in the Jin Mansion, how can she recuperate quietly!"
From her mother's emotion, Lu Ruxue probably understood why her mother was angry, and shook her head at her brother to reassure him that her mother was just thinking that Wu's was not worthy, not that she had a misunderstanding with Wu's.
Lu Chongyu was relieved at this time, and he did not stay in the inner courtyard for a long time, but went to the outer courtyard to help his father do things. He had lunch today and was going back to Castle Peak Academy, so he only had time in the morning to study with his father.
When his son left, the Yun family also had fewer scruples, after all, it was better not to let his son hear about the affairs of the inner house, so as not to divide his heart and affect his schoolwork.
"Before your Aunt Wu got married, her temperament was also arrogant and swore not to admit defeat, but now she has to send people to force a smile under the fence. Mother looked at it, how could I not feel sorry for your Aunt Wu in my heart!"
Speaking of these, Yun's eyes were a little red. Lu Ruxue hurriedly spoke comfortingly.
"Mother, don't be sad, as long as Cousin Jin can work hard and improve himself, Aunt Wu's good days are still ahead!"
"Although Aunt Wu doesn't have a first-grade seal now, she is still a third-grade lady. Although there are many clansmen in the Jin Mansion, there is no one in the mansion who is an official, and even if it is for the sake of the face of the Xuande Hou Mansion, they don't dare to do too much!"
"This is also true, in fact, those people in the Jin Mansion are okay, after all, they have received the favor of Xuandehou for so many years. It's just that when your Uncle Jin was alive, he also accepted a concubine in the second room. Now I have also returned to my ancestral home with your Aunt Wu!"
As soon as the Yun family mentioned the word "concubine", his face was obviously a little darker. "Now your Aunt Wu still has to take her own dowry and serve these two. Mother remembered it, so she was wronged for your Aunt Wu!"
Lu Ruxue finally understood why her mother was angry. The men in the Lu Mansion don't like to take concubines, so the women in the mansion don't like these concubines who can't be on the stage.
Now looking at his sisters, with their dowry silver, to support those concubines who once competed with the Wu family, how can this feel better.
"Mother has asked Aunt Wu, how will these two be resettled in the future, and what are their plans?" Lu Ruxue believes that with Wu's toughness, there should be no way for these two to eat and drink her.
"These two people are also from some backgrounds, they are not raised from slaves, your Aunt Wu's meaning is to let them follow the mourning for three years, and send them to the nunnery when they are not served, which can be regarded as doing their last heart for Xuandehou!"
But the Yun clan felt that there was no need to let these two women also follow the mourning, so it was better to send them to the nunnery earlier, so as to save the trouble of watching.
"Mother, you see, Aunt Wu has planned it herself, but you can't think of it, and you can't get along with yourself here!"
The daughter felt that as long as Aunt Wu could figure it out by herself, keeping the two of them for three years would be just three years of idle food, and then two months. With Aunt Wu's marriage, that's just a drop in the bucket!"
"Mother, you just have to relax, and when you have time, you go to the Jin Mansion and walk around often. At this time, the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms on the hillside outside the city are blooming, and when Aunt Wu is better, my mother will go out to see it again!"
The daughter's words are very effective, and the Yun family no longer bothered about those things, after all, no matter how good she is with the Wu family, she is only a sister with a different surname, not a sister.
Lu Ruxue persuaded her mother, and then went back to her yard.
