Chapter 157, plain is bliss
Mrs. Lu's birthday, the second master Lu Chengzong, sent the big housekeeper around him to bring congratulatory gifts and New Year's gifts into Beijing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The old lady read the letter while listening to Mrs. Tai ask Liu Xi.
"Back to Mrs. Hui, the second master and the second lady are all right. The second lady often thinks of Mrs. Tai, and often blames herself for not being able to come close to serve, and she often feels uneasy and ashamed in her heart! Let the servants also kowtow to the eldest lady, saying that there is a big lady Lao, and she has helped the second lady to do her best in front of the elders!"
"Excuse me, excuse me! The second uncle's mother's mind and mother understand!" The relationship between the Tang family and this second brother and sister is not as close as the third lady Yun's, after all, in this moment, there have been nearly ten years, and they haven't seen each other much.
The second lady also mentioned the eldest lady a lot, and the eldest lady often sent some medicinal herbs, and dietary recipes and other health things to Beiping. In the past year, the masters in the house have never been sick!"
Seeing Liu Xi saluting herself, Lu Ruxue hurriedly got up and avoided it, after all, this Liu Xi represents the second uncle and the second aunt, and she is a junior who can't afford this ceremony.
"It's just a little thing, the second uncle and the second aunt can use it!"
Mrs. Tai listened to the second son's family, and she didn't even have a headache and brain fever all year round, and she was happy. summoned his granddaughter to sit down beside him, and then asked Liu Xi a few more words.
Seeing that the old lady put down the letter, she didn't ask any more. Instead, he waited for the old lady to speak.
"You have worked hard this time, after Mrs. Tai's birthday, you can set off back to Beiping with the salute, go to find the steward at this time, and go down to receive the reward and rest!"
The old lady spoke, and Liu Xi made another big salute, so he retreated and went to the outer courtyard.
When the people left, the old lady took the gift list, glanced at it, and handed it to Mrs. Tai.
"Why did you send these valuables again, I don't know if Jane saved some!" Mrs. Tai couldn't bear to look at it.
Although the second son is not like the eldest son, he follows the old lady's temperament, but he is also ambitious and honest, and knows how to clean himself. I don't have a lot of money, but the birthday gifts given every year, plus the festival gifts, have nearly a few thousand taels of silver.
"Grandmother, second uncle and second aunt can't follow you and grandfather to advance filial piety, my heart is uncomfortable, if I don't send some things, I'm afraid I will be depressed and sick!"
"Yes, my niece is right. This is all the intention of the second uncle's family, and the mother just needs to accept it with confidence. The second uncle and wife are careful, and if they want to talk about the management of the feed, then they can live better than their daughter-in-law! How can they live a poor life for these thousands of taels of silver!"
Mrs. Tai also knows this reason, and the return gift she and her eldest daughter-in-law prepare every year is also a few thousand taels of silver. However, as a mother, she always hopes that her children's life can be better and better, but she can receive more gifts.
The second master also has news, and the family can be regarded as reunited. Seeing that the hour was almost up, Lu Chongnian also brought Chang and his children to congratulate the old lady on his birthday.
After the meal, because of the two more children, Chang was naturally greeted by Lu Chongwen's wife Ping and went to his yard. And Lu Chongwen accompanied Lu Chongnian to the outer courtyard.
Lu Chongwu didn't like Lu Chongnian, so he found an excuse and stayed in "Kangning Garden" with his cousins.
"Cousin, tell your second cousin, what gift do you plan to give to your second cousin during the Chinese New Year?"
Every year, Lu Chongwu can receive gifts from Lu Ruxue, and he likes every gift. So I was curious, and I couldn't help but ask a few more words.
"Second cousin, there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, so you are in a hurry to ask for gifts! Grandmother, you judge your granddaughter, how can a second cousin be such a brother!"
Mrs. Tai likes her grandchildren to quarrel the most, and it is lively when she listens. When people are old, they are most afraid of being cold, and Mrs. Tai knows in her heart that her grandchildren have a good relationship, but they will not be separated because of a quarrel.
"I know that my grandmother loves my cousin the most, but I can't help her, and my grandson is also your own grandson!"
"Hahaha!" the lady was amused by the two children. This second grandson, every time he fights, he has never won.
Lu Chongyu also laughed, he couldn't beat Lu Chongwu, so he liked to watch his cousin eat in front of his sister.
"Okay, okay, grandmother won't help anyone! If you can ask, just ask!"
"Grandmother, you're not a favorite! My cousin's mouth is the strictest, if you don't help your grandson, my cousin won't say anything. Grandmother, please!" Lu Chongwu hugged Mrs. Tai's arm and shook it gently.
"It's you who just said that you don't want your grandmother to help, why don't you play tricks at this time, and you're not afraid to make your cousins and sisters see jokes!" Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded her grandson's head, but her heart was very happy.
"Isn't my grandmother curious about what my cousin gave me to my grandfather, and it's very novel, so I'm curious! Isn't my grandmother curious about what my cousin has prepared for you?"
At the mention of this, Mrs. Tai's eyes also lit up, but at her age, she could still calm down.
"Second cousin, if my cousin said it this time, wouldn't there be no surprise!
The family fights together, and Cheng Huan has a fun time on his knees, which is called life. This is also the life that Lu Ruxue longs for the most.
There is no intrigue, no deceit, no pursuit of fame and fortune. There is happiness in the plain, and joy in the light. It's just that such a seemingly simple expectation has now become a luxury.
However, Lu Ruxue also saw it, if she lived such a day every day, maybe she would not cherish it. The more you can't get it, the more you want to get it, and the more precious you feel, the more it is worth cherishing, and human nature is like this.
Even a mansion like Lu Mansion, which seems to have a simple population, needs to rely on everyone's efforts to maintain peace between several rooms. This Mrs. Li knows, and the eldest lady Tang naturally knows, and even the third lady Yun, who has always been soft and unrestrained, also understands this truth in her heart.
In the end, Lu Chongwu couldn't take advantage of Lu Ruxue, so he had to accompany Lu Chongyu and obediently went to the outer courtyard.
But not long after Lu Chongwu and the others left, they saw Jin Ju, the big girl beside Ping's side, and hurriedly ran into the "Kangning Garden".
"Mrs. Tai, the little young master is injured!" A sentence frightened a room of people.
"Let's go!" Mrs. Tai didn't care about asking, and was supported by Lu Ruxue and Lan Ruo, got up and rushed towards the courtyard where the Ping family lived.
The eldest lady took advantage of the hurry to ask Jin Ju a few words.
It turned out that Chang's son and Lu Heng were arguing for toys, but Lu Heng didn't give it, Chang's son was older after all, so he pushed Lu Hengjie.
The three children were originally sitting on the couch, but Lu Hengjie was pushed by this and fell from the couch. Although the nurse who was guarding on the side moved quickly, she still touched the ground.
