Chapter 155, a different kind of birthday gift
Lu Ruxue and Mu Xuanyang had a private meeting, although they were discovered by Cai Yue and Cai Xing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But the two big girls were tight-lipped and didn't disclose the matter to anyone.
With Old Lady Lu's birthday approaching, plus Mu Xuanyang, he has never visited the Lu Mansion overnight, so no one has mentioned this matter again.
On the night before his birthday, the Lu clan relatives who were far away in Huaiyuan County sent Lu Chongnian to bring congratulatory gifts to Beijing. Naturally, the family wants to be courteous.
"This is my cousin, this pink makeup is more and more beautiful! The ancestor is so blessed!" Chang has always exaggerated his words, and at this time, he grabbed Lu Ruxue and didn't let go. Even she called Mrs. Tai an ancestor in order to appear closer.
Mrs. Tai didn't care about these things, "She's thin-skinned, but you can't help boasting! Come, come to grandmother!"
Seeing her grandmother calling, Lu Ruxue was relieved, escaped from Chang's clutches, and sat down next to her grandmother.
Chang didn't seem to see the dislike in Lu Ruxue's eyes, and still looked at the third lady Yun with a smile, "Third cousin, my cousin is thirteen years old, but can I talk about kissing?"
At the mention of the family, even Mrs. Tai's face was a little gloomy. You must know that there are a room of female dependents, and Chang's generation is the lowest, but she doesn't know what to do, and she takes care of Lu Ruxue's family affairs.
Yun's face didn't look good, he forced out a smile, and only replied, "Everything is up to my mother!" and he didn't say a word more.
Chang Shi was also quick to speak, and as soon as the words came out, he also knew that he had lost his identity, and he was busy with a smile on his face, and found a word to find a step for himself.
Fortunately, it was already dark at this time, and it was time for dinner after turning on the lights. After dinner, Chang still wanted to stay in Mrs. Tai's "Kangning Garden", and was dismissed by Mrs. Tai with a few words. Only then did he return to his guest house dissatisfied.
Lu Ruxue didn't stay long, tomorrow is her grandfather's birthday, and she has to check the congratulatory gift again to avoid any mistakes.
"Miss, you said that Chang didn't know what he thought, but in front of Mrs. Tai, he inquired about your family. Could it be that she still wants to protect the eldest lady, and she doesn't want to look at her identity!"
After returning to the "Perilla Garden", Caixing couldn't hold back any longer, and counted Chang's with an indignant face.
"No matter how bad she is, she is also a guest in the house. You don't like her in your heart, but you can't talk about it. Cai Yue knocked Cai Xing for the eldest lady, and then looked at the eldest lady with some worry.
"Miss, the slave also thinks that what Caixing said is reasonable, how could Mrs. Chang mention your family affairs for no reason, I'm afraid that she really has something else in mind?"
Lu Ruxue was tidying up her things while listening to the two big girls talking there.
"With her grandmother here, no matter what thoughts she has, it's useless!" Even the Yun clan can't make decisions for their daughters, let alone distant relatives who are separated by a few rooms.
"But too!" Caixing was just angry, but he also knew that the eldest lady was reasonable. Seeing that the eldest lady had prepared the things, she packed them and took them down.
"Miss, when I went to the Mansion of Wei for a banquet before, the skirt that Mrs. Tai made for you is very good-looking, how about Miss Tai wear it tomorrow?"
As soon as she mentioned the dress, Lu Ruxue suddenly thought of the Miss Li from the Cao Guo Mansion, and quickly shook her head.
"Just wear the skirt that you just made when you change the season, and add a red armor, it won't look plain!" Cai Yue didn't think much about it, seeing that the eldest lady didn't like it, she knew that the eldest lady was still remembering the previous thing, and she hurriedly put the skirt into the bottom of the box.
As soon as the next day arrived, the subordinates of the Lu Mansion had already gotten up. Even Lu Ruxue got up early in the morning.
Yesterday, she promised her grandmother to get up in the morning and have breakfast together, so she couldn't stay in bed, so she washed up properly and changed her clothes, and then she was helped into the "Kangning Garden" by Cai Yue and Cai Xing.
The grandfather and grandson chatted happily, and Mrs. Tai even bought half a bowl of five-grain porridge more than usual, and then she rested.
When the morning came, everyone in the house gathered in the "Kangning Garden" to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. Even the eldest lord took leave today and did not go to court.
Looking at the juniors in the room, Mrs. Lu was relieved. The eldest lord took his family to kowtow to the old lady in batches and sent congratulatory gifts.
When talking about Lu Chengyao's family, Lu Chongwu stood up from the side, "Grandfather, grandson is curious, I want to see what kind of congratulatory gift my cousin gave to my grandfather?"
"You're in a hurry!" Tang glared at his youngest son, but he was also curious. The things that my niece gives every year are not valuable, but they are all rare.
So in the past few years, when it comes to giving gifts, other people's gifts can't arouse everyone's interest. Only the things sent by Lu Ruxue were the first to be disassembled.
"Yes, don't say that Chongwu is curious, even I'm a little anxious!" There is only family in the house, and Lu Chongnian's family is not here at this time. They will have to wait an hour before they can come to pay their respects to the old lady, which is also the rule of the Lu Mansion.
So the old lady also smiled and nodded, and then he stretched out his hand and opened the brocade box that Cai Yue and Cai Xing had brought up. There are also two boxes in the box, one large and one small. The big one looked like it was a bit heavy, so the old lady took out the smaller brocade box first.
"What is this?" The box contained reading glasses, but this thing was rare, and not many people were willing to wear it, so even the old lady didn't recognize it at a glance.
However, the eldest master recognized this thing and nodded to his niece, "It's still Ruxue, this child is careful." After last winter, my father became more and more struggling to read, and with this reading glasses, I don't have to tire my eyes when I read books in the future!"
"Oh, there's still this?" said the old lady, trying to put it on, and picked up a book in her hand.
"Yes, yes, even the small characters can be seen so clearly!
"It's good that my grandfather likes it, this thing is a foreign product, and it's not common in Da Zhou. It's not valuable, but it's very practical!"
Hearing her granddaughter say this, Mrs. Tai also took the reading glasses curiously, and tried them on, "Isn't it?
"Ruxue, this good thing, you can't just give it to your grandfather, you can't miss your grandmother's share!"
Lu Ruxue sat down next to her grandmother with a smile, and said with a coquettish expression, "Three years ago, my granddaughter was looking for this thing, but it is not common in the Duobao Pavilion, and it is easy to meet it this year, but it is only like this." It's not that the granddaughter is stingy, it's really after the sea ban, this thing is getting harder and harder to find!"
In fact, Lu Ruxueyuan also wanted to buy two more pairs, but this thing was rare, so he had to hug his grandmother with a look of disgrace to resolve his grandmother's reluctance.
