27, Lu Ming
Mrs. Lin asked suspiciously, "Who is it?" Zhao'er, how did you know? ”
Lu Chenxi smiled, reached out and pulled a strand of hair that fell on his sideburns behind his ear, "It's Uncle Santang." When I was in Jinling before www.biquge.info my granddaughter had seen Uncle Santang, and her image of Uncle Santang was profound. So as soon as the right clove said, the granddaughter knew. ”
Mrs. Lin didn't speak, squinted her eyes, as if she was recalling something, and finally said, "It's the third grandson of the old patriarch's family." That kid. At the end of the sentence, there was a smile.
He turned his head to look at Mama Ji again, "Do you remember?" It's the kid who gave me sugar gourds when I was a child. ”
Mama Ji also squinted her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, the slave and maid remembered." I vaguely remember that his name seems to be, Lu Ming ......"
Hearing this name, Lu Zijin's heart jumped. She remembered that Lu Ming, the third cousin, was one of the spines of the Lu family in her previous life.
Originally, Lu Ming had always refused to be an official, and only wanted to guard the ancestral house in Jinling, but it was Lu Chenxi who persuaded Lu Ming. After Lu Ming came out, he rose all the way, and when he finally died, he had already achieved the position of second assistant in the cabinet.
Because it was Lu Chenxi who persuaded Lu Ming to come out, the entire Lu clan was very grateful to Lu Chenxi. And Lu Ming has always trusted and supported Lu Chenxi.
Thinking of this, Lu Zijin's eyes lit up.
What if it was himself who persuaded Lu Ming to become a leader?
Then the harvest will be grateful to themselves; In the future, it will be Lu Ming's support that will also be himself......
The more Lu Zijin thought about it, the more excited he became, and the whole person suddenly became much more energetic, and he looked out of the door with burning eyes.
Lu Chenxi has been observing Lu Zijin, so Lu Zijin's sudden change is naturally seen by her.
Lu Chenxi glanced at Lu Zijin twice without a trace, and lowered his eyelashes.
Knowing that it was her own junior, Mrs. Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Lilac to invite someone in.
Although Qin Wanxiao and the other three daughters-in-law are female dependents, it stands to reason that they should avoid suspicion. But it was the cousin of Lu Zhengxing's three brothers, and it was nothing to see his sister-in-law.
But at the time of tea, Lilac came over with Lu Ming.
After entering the house, Lu Ming found that there were still female dependents. The expression on his face did not change, and he only respectfully bowed his hand to Mrs. Lin: "Nephew Lu Ming has seen Aunt Tang."
Mrs. Lin waved her hand again and again, and asked Lu Ming to get up with a smile on her face: "Hurry up, hurry up, speaking of which, I haven't seen your child for many years."
Lu Ming stood up straight, with a faint smile on his handsome face, and it was really a suave look.
Hearing Mrs. Lin's words, the smile on Lu Ming's face became stronger: "I haven't seen my aunt for many years." My aunt looks like her body is still very strong. ”
Mrs. Lin was even more happy when she heard this, and stretched out her hand and pointed to the three daughters-in-law who were seated: "These are your three cousins-in-law, those are the old family's, those are the second family, and those are the third family."
Lu Ming was busy stepping forward and seeing them one by one.
After seeing the ceremony, the Zhang family and the Li family withdrew at the behest of Mrs. Tai.
Lu Ming sat down at this time.
After the peony was served with hot tea, Lu Ming took a sip slowly, and Mrs. Lin pointed to the group of granddaughters below and introduced: "These are all the daughters of your three cousins, your nieces."
Lu Ming raised his eyes and saw that Lu Chenxi was secretly glancing at him. I couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. Lin asked her granddaughters to come forward to give Lu Ming luggage.
Lu Wenke took his sisters to meet the third cousin who met for the first time.
Lu Ming smiled kindly at each niece. Lu Zijin, who deliberately performed in front of Lu Ming, was annoyed.
Because Lu Chenxi is the youngest, he is also the last to give Lu Ming a gift.
Lu Ming looked at the niece in front of him who was seriously showing everyone to be a gift, and he only felt funny in his heart. I know best how cunning and clever this niece is.
After thinking about it, he said, "Zhao'er hasn't seen Uncle Santang for a while, so she forgot it?"
As soon as Lu Chenxi heard Lu Ming speak, he knew that nothing was good. She was sure that Lu Ming was still 'remembering' his own plan to make him reveal his true form.
Hmph, he is obviously a talented son, but he wants to make a fool of everyone.
I deserve to be debunked!
Lu Chenxi thought hatefully in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he pretended to be innocent: "How come?" In the two years in the ancestral house, Zhao'er was taken care of thanks to the third uncle. ”
Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction, reached out and touched Lu Chenxi's head: "Zhao'er is a sensible child."
Lu Chenxi looked at the big hand placed on his head and rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart.
The people next to her didn't know Lu Chenxi's helplessness, they only knew that she had a good conversation with her cousin from the ancestral house.
Lu Zijin was even more jealous on the side.
Mrs. Lin was satisfied that her dear granddaughter had a good relationship with the clan of the ancestral house, but she still had business to say at the moment, so she had to interrupt their conversation: "Okay. Sister Wen and her sister will go back first. ”
Lu Wen responded and took his sisters to salute the three elders again, and then retreated in a proper manner.
Seeing that the granddaughters had all retreated, Mrs. Lin's face slowly became serious, and she waved her hand to send away the other people in the house, leaving only Mama Ji to stay with them.
Lu Ming's face also returned to a serious color, and he said solemnly: "Grandfather asked his nephew to come first, just to inform my aunt that Jinling has been very unpeaceful recently."
Mrs. Lin and Qin Wanxiao glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
Qin Wanxiao couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
Lu Ming pointed to the envelope that Mrs. Lin was still holding in her hand, and his expression was a little solemn: "Since Zhao'er left, there have been many people of unknown origin who have visited the ancestral house at night. Even the wives and daughters of some local officials in Jinling often came to visit the Lu family. ”
Mrs. Lin's hand holding the envelope tightened, and her originally kind face suddenly became sharp: "So someone suspects Zhao'er?"
Qin Wanxiao's heart was even tighter, and her eyes stared straight at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming shook his head, nodded again, and his tone was very uncertain: "I don't know yet." Although the mansion here had also sent other people to the ancestral house in order to cover up Zhao'er, after all, Zhao'er had stayed in the ancestral house for the longest time. It may arouse their suspicions. ”
Mrs. Lin and Qin Wanxiao's hearts sank at the same time.
If Zhao'er is discovered......
They didn't dare to think about it any further.
Lu Ming saw that his sister-in-law and aunt's expressions were not very good, and knew that they were all worried about Lu Chenxi, so he hurriedly said: "Grandfather has thought of a way and wrote it in the letter. It's just that this method still needs the cooperation of the Guogong Mansion, so I asked me to come over first to discuss with my cousin and cousin. ”
After listening to Lu Ming's words, Mrs. Lin hurriedly opened the letter in her hand and looked at it at a glance.
After reading the letter, the expression on Mrs. Lin's face not only did not relax, but became more solemn.
Qin Wanxiao was puzzled, and she didn't care about the rules, so she directly reached out and took the letter from Mrs. Lin's hand and read it.
After reading it, Qin Wanxiao also fell silent.
