When Lu Xiangjie was young, he didn't often come to Mrs. Lu's yard to eat, and every time he came, he tried his best to prepare a table full of delicacies, and there was no Lu Zhijie at that time, and Mrs. Lu also thought that she might have a son in Lu Xiangjie's life.
Who would have thought that the peak would turn around, burn high incense in his last life, and win the double color, and another one would pop out of his belly.
Lu Xiangjie actually doesn't like to eat fasting very much, and insists on eating for so many years because there are white things in the family all the year round, or there are bedridden relatives and elders, and he has not changed it when he is used to eating.
Knowing that he was misunderstood by his lovely mother again, Lu Xiangjie didn't explain, out of respect for Mrs. Lu or Miss Huang, or out of praying to God and worshiping Buddha after his youngest son's accident, Lu Xiangjie didn't want to delve into it, because at this time, it was just to please him, which seemed deliberate and hypocritical.
When I arrived at Mrs. Lu's courtyard, I was greeted into the main room by the big girl Ruiyu next to Mrs. Lu, who had been waiting for her, before she could call anyone.
"The eldest young master is here, Mrs. has already prepared the dishes, and asked someone to invite you, the doorkeeper said that you and Uncle Xu have set the rules in the study and are not allowed to disturb, so I have been waiting until now, the dishes are hot twice and I am afraid that it will not be new, and Mrs. asked the kitchen to be redone, this time it will just be on the table, you came just in time!"
Ruiyu opened the way in front, spoke well for the main room all the way, and when he arrived at the ground, he opened the curtain and invited Lu Xiangjie into the main hall.
Mrs. Lu had already dressed, sitting at the Huanghuali carved lacquer table waiting for him, the heavy beige finch tail riding sewing skirt, the appropriate makeup, and the lotus pair of wings and golden hairpins inserted in the hair, not too solemn, but a little more rich than ordinary family clothes.
The night was dark, and the octagonal glass lamp in the room was not dark, but the room was bright, Mrs. Lu sat on the head, saw Lu Xiangjie and exempted him from the vulgar ceremony of asking for peace, beckoned him to sit beside him, shook his hand and put it on his knees.
The palm temperature came slowly, the touch was warm, as delicate as smooth fat, Lu Xiangjie was in a trance for a moment, as if nothing had changed in more than ten years, this house still didn't have the room before Lu Zhijie, and his mother still didn't have the Mrs. Lu before Lu Zhijie.
"The child is late, and I hope the mother will not blame." Knowing this, he should have sent Lu Zhijie away as soon as possible, Lu Xiangjie hated to admit that he was the one who loved his mother, and he couldn't help but secretly shine in his heart, how many years he had missed in a flash.
Under the warm lamp, Mrs. Lu's face was gentle and kind, and the thin moire armor covered the embroidered edges on the dress, "It's not in the way, there have been a lot of changes in the family these days, your father is far away, and he can't take care of the things at home, you are running alone outside, your grandmother is sick and lingering, you are still busy taking time to take care of it, taking care of it inside and out, my mother knows that you are tired, you are busy until late, and my mother is not to blame, I am afraid that you will complain about your mother and always pester you!" ā
As he spoke, he smiled self-deprecatingly, with a little fear of Lu Xiangjie's anger.
Lu Xiangjie naturally didn't dare, and the mother and son talked happily for a while before starting to eat.
Mrs. Lu doesn't eat much, she is well-maintained, she doesn't need to eat at night, and Lu Xiangjie eats less, both of them stopped after a little movement.
Mrs. Lu called to remove the dishes and chopsticks, and served tea and fruit snacks again, all of which were used by Lu Xiangjie, to be precise, they should be used by Lu Xiangjie's childhood.
Inevitably, he sighed again, and Lu Xiangjie responded to Mrs. Lu on his face, selectively ignoring the heart that he thought was already numb but was still slightly bitter.
Her mother probably didn't know her as well as he did.
Lu Xiangjie knows Mrs. Lu's style very well, what words will not be straight to the point, it is necessary to set it up first, bring the feelings closer, and then move it with emotion, and force it with reason.
The one who can make her work so hard is no longer her eldest son, but her second son Lu Zhijie, an idiot.
Lu Xiangjie waited calmly for Mrs. Lu, who had been carefully arranged all night, to speak, and Mrs. Lu really did not disappoint him.
"Today, your aunt sent two baskets of vegetables and fruits from her village, and I saw that they were fresh, so I asked someone to send them to your yard."
After so many years, even if the family population is simple, Lu Xiangjie has not returned to live in the backyard, or Mrs. Lu's backyard.
Gently rubbing the back of his son's hand, his hand is bigger than Lu Zhijie, and his fingertips have a thin cocoon for holding a pen, he has been outside for many years, although it is not rough, but it is also a double man's hand, not as delicate and smooth as Lu Zhijie's pampering, Mrs. Lu pulled back her thoughts, and her mouth was broken and broken.
"Sent together with your cousin Lan's happy letter, she gave birth to a male baby in the winter of last year, just married in two years and got a man in one fell swoop, although it happened to be at the end of the year, but it is also a male baby, it is also a happy event, besides, the baby at the end of the year is more smart and beautiful, I want to divide a few gifts out, and I will drag the person with the letter and send it back together, you also know that our family population is not prosperous, and it is ...... in your generation."
"I asked Uncle Xu to pick the Huishan Zihao for the children, add a gift to Cousin Lan, and send it to my mother tomorrow." Lu Xiangjie added words at the right time and intercepted Mrs. Lu's next words.
The light in the glass cup flickered, and the breath in the room stopped for a moment.
"Your father wrote to ask about your grandmother's illness, and I answered truthfully, and your father also mentioned it to me, if so...... If there is something wrong with the old lady, you have to plan early," Mrs. Lu stared at Lu Xiangjie, with a motherly and worried look on her face, "Your sister Lan is eight years younger than you, and it is too late to have a child at your current age, if it is delayed for another three years, it will be difficult to talk about others." ā
withdrew the hand that was held, and turned to hold the teacup, Lu Xiangjie was speechless.
He had children, and the deceased Lu Zuo had conceived two children for him, the first time he was born in winter, and he died before he was a year old, and the second time he went with Lu Zuo before he was born.
picked up the teacup, paused slightly when it came to his mouth, and Lu Xiangjie slowly put it down without touching his lips.
Mrs. Lu, who was unconscious, was still working hard, "I know that you are old, you don't like to listen to my chatter, and I don't want to force you, but the matter of the heir is not only your own business, but also the inheritance of the Lu family, even if I don't persuade you, your father will already know that I will ask me to look like you." ā
Seeing that Lu Xiangjie was unmoved, Mrs. Lu said again, "If you don't like the daughter of the Zuo family, it doesn't matter which family it is, as long as you are willing to nod, your mother will ask to marry you back!" Even if," the hook hand was blocked in front of his chest, "Even if you like an official, my mother will allow you to bring it home, as long as you are willing to remarry a house and leave an heir to the Lu family!" ā
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was not like it the more she talked, and she didn't want to be false with her anymore, Lu Xiangjie directly gave the final word, "Marriage, the parents' orders are the words of the matchmaker, and the children listen to their parents." ā
I can't believe that Lu Xiangjie agreed so easily, Mrs. Lu smiled happily, so neatly, without any additional conditions, and it was all up to her, Mrs. Lu couldn't believe her ears, how could she not call Mrs. Lu satisfied!
In fact, she secretly concealed half of Master Lu's words, but she didn't tell the truth.
Master Lu did ask Mrs. Lu to help the family with a school-age girl, but he asked Mrs. Lu to look at each other for the two sons, and in order to force Mrs. Lu to work the eldest son's affairs, Mrs. Lu had to solve the eldest son's remarriage before she could start to take care of the mess between the younger son and Huang Lingying.
Joy turned to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and Mrs. Lu's whole person seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden.
Lu Xiangjie laughed in his heart, anyway, you look at you, I'm afraid that the ones you look at can't even pass the level of Master Lu, not to mention that he is still holding the stirring stick above Mrs. Lu in his hand, Lu Zhijie and Huang Lingying's marriage is still under pressure in the official mansion, and it is extremely difficult to cancel the marriage, unless Mrs. Lu is really bold enough to dare to attack her own mother-in-law!
After completing a heartfelt matter, Mrs. Lu recounted Lu Zhijie's idle topic in Huashan Academy.
Since Lu Zhijie went to Huashan, he unusually didn't have a letter from home, and Mrs. Lu, who was frightened, sent her close subordinates to go to Huashan, and only when she saw the real person did she feel relieved.
Then after a while, I don't know what evil I committed, Lu Zhijie's family book was as diligent as snowflakes, at first Lu Xiangjie could still read it, but later Mrs. Lu also began to have convulsions, in order to facilitate the communication between the two mothers, she actually borrowed an escort from the Zhai family and sent them to Huashan, and squeezed the people sent by Lu Xiangjie aside.
Since then, Lu Xiangjie's comprehensive monitoring of Lu Zhijie has come to an end, and the letters sent back to the Lu family by Lu Zhijie will no longer turn around and go to Lu Xiangjie's study, but will go directly to Mrs. Lu's hospital.
"Ziyu's letter said that he was all right in Huashan, that is, he always ran on the mountain, and he was a little tanned, Mr. Wang Duan took care of him a lot, and under the influence of the atmosphere of Huashan, his articles have grown a lot, and the original Mr. always said that his articles were more than gorgeous, and the hardness was insufficient, and now he also nodded and praised that he had the shadow of his ancestors."
Lu Xiangjie bowed his head and was silent, and was forced to pour an ear of Mrs. Lu's love for her youngest son, and listened patiently with her ears calloused, her most beloved son never came back even for the New Year, under the pretext that he was studying hard in retreat on the mountain, and he didn't go down the mountain if he didn't become a talent, and he looked like he was recognizing the school, but in fact, he didn't know what to move, and he instigated his mother to clear up the marriage contract with Huang Lingying for him, even if his mother Mrs. Lu knew that her son had designed to ruin the name of the Huang girl, This girl is still the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Lu.
Ya tanned into a black donkey, the New Year has to go to the festival ceremony, Lu Zhijie is willing to come back at this time to have a ghost!
Lowered his head and took a sip of tea, Lu Xiangjie couldn't help frowning, it was too sweet, his mother didn't even know what tea he was drinking, hey, he just wanted to get up when he brushed his sleeves, and his mother suddenly popped out again.
"By the way, Ziyu said that paper on the mountain is expensive, and I want two shops to sell themselves, and I also practice by the way, I happened to redeem two from several tea shops that the Hu family retreated, and I plan to sell tea and paper and ink."
A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and Lu Xiangjie stared at the green bricks on the soles of his feet, trying to parse the meaning of his mother's words just now.
