The girl's birthday is also simple.

Wen said that the big operation was also the excitement within his own family, and he invited all the aunts and sisters, opened a banquet, and invited two storytellers.

Not a single outsider was invited.

Relatives and friends gave birthday gifts, and Lu Fu in the palace also asked his uncle to bring a share out.

Lu Mao naturally sent it too.

The weather in April is sunny, warm and comfortable, and the afternoon sun is shining brightly.

Everyone wore light spring shirts, and they were in a very happy mood, and they gathered in the flower hall to listen to the female ancestors tell stories, and they were very happy.

It's just that the eldest aunt is still listless.

Lu Luo was also absent-minded, and glanced at the door from time to time. She was holding a dense porcelain teacup, and her powdery fingertips were slowly rubbing along the teacup, a little worried.

"See what?" Wen asked Lu Luo, and then fed Shi Niang water.

Shi Niang's nurse was holding the child and sitting under Wen's family, Wen took a cup of warm water and fed Shi Niang with a porcelain soup spoon.

Shi Niang smiled, she liked the way she listened to books, which made Wen surprised and delighted, and felt that Shi Niang was unusual.

She probably forgot whose daughter Shi Niang was, and regarded Shi Niang as her own child, no mustard, and loved very much.

Lu Luo's absent-mindedness can't escape Wen's eyes.

"General Yan, he said that he was coming to eat longevity noodles, I don't know if it was because of the delay in official business, or something else." Lu Luo Road.

Wen chuckled: "What's the hurry?" Since he agreed, he will naturally come, Saburo is a trustworthy person. ”

Lu Luo bowed his head and slowly took a sip of tea.

They talked. The female ancestor has already finished a paragraph.

Lu Mao was also listening to books, maybe the storytelling in Beijing was different from Jiangnan, and Lu Mao listened with great interest.

Lu Luo's cousin Lu Mu snuggled up to Lu Mao, worshipping and loving this cousin.

The third aunt, Huo Shi, approached Lu Luo and whispered to Lu Luo: "Girl, the slave has a saying. ”

"Now?"

"Just a sentence or two." The third aunt smiled.

Lu Luo got up, walked out of the flower hall with the third aunt, and stood under the eaves.

The spring breeze is warm and slightly drunk, with the sweetness of flowers. The sun casts under the eaves, and there are circles of golden light.

Lu Luo gently rolled down his sleeves. Ask the third aunt what is the matter.

"Slaves don't know how to learn. Mu'er has been enlightened for three or four years, and the slave doesn't know what kind of situation he is in. The old man was sick, and the slave wanted to ask the second young master to give Mu'er some advice. The third aunt said.

The third aunt can see that Lu Mao has a future in the future.

Lu Qijun is now sick. One day is the same. Lu Luo spent a lot of money to hire a doctor for him. It doesn't take effect for half a minute, and it is estimated that it will not survive for a few years.

There is no father, and there is no brother. Naturally, you have to rely on your cousins.

Lu Mao is the son-in-law, and Lu Mu is the concubine of the concubine, there is still a bit of a gap in identity.

"What's this?" Lu Luo said, "The second cousin likes Mu'er very much, and he has been free recently, and he only started studying in the second half of the year, so he is still happy to let him guide Mu'er." ”

The third aunt was very happy when she heard this.

"Mr. and Master have said many times that Mu'er's words are not good before they are formed, and it would be best if the second young master could write for him." The third aunt said.

Lu Luo bowed: "I will tell the second brother." ”

Since the third aunt begged Lu Luo, Lu Luo also asked her to make her efforts.

Lu Luo asked the third aunt: "There is a truth-keeping aunt, does she often come to the house?" ”

"She?" The third aunt sneered slightly, "She is powerful, in the past, Mrs. Xian walked around with her, and Mrs. Xian believed in her very much." Later, she went to the south for ten years, and only returned to Beijing five years ago. We begged her for a rune water, but she either asked for expensive silver, or she didn't have it, and only wanted Aunt Jane. ”

Aunt Shouzhen is the person of the eldest aunt.

Sanniang's death made the eldest aunt hate Lu Qijun. So will the eldest aunt take the opportunity to attack Lu Qijun?

Lu Luo heard that Lu Qijun had been drinking the talisman water of Shouzhen Daogu recently.

"She's very close to Madame Xian?" Lu Luo asked rhetorically.

The third aunt nodded, very sure. Although the third aunt entered the house relatively late, and the original Sun family had passed away for many years at that time, the third aunt also inquired.

"If you don't tell me, I don't know." Lu Luo pointed slightly.

The third aunt smiled lightly, and glanced around, afraid that the wall would have ears, so she lowered her voice and said to Lu Luo: "The slave also heard about it by chance." There is also a junior sister beside Aunt Shouzhen, who is a smart person."

Lu Luo understood and bowed slightly.

The two talked for a long time, but when they saw that the eldest aunt's maid walked out under the pretext of looking for something, they had a great intention of keeping an eye on them.

Lu Luo's eyes sank, and the maid pretended not to know, and smiled and saluted Lu Luo and the third aunt.

The third aunt stopped talking.

Returning to the flower hall, Lu Luo's mind shifted from Yan Xun to Shouzhen Daogu.

If that Daogu attacked Lu Qijun and let Lu Qijun die early, Lu Luo would have to keep filial piety for three years.

She hasn't left the cabinet yet, and Yan Xun is already twenty-nine, and he can't afford to delay.

Except for Lu Luo, everyone else listened to it with relish, including Wen.

When they arrived at Shenzheng, the story was over, and everyone dispersed.

Lu Mao followed Lu Luo and Wen into the main courtyard.

Lu Luo relayed the words of the third aunt to Lu Mao, hoping that Lu Mao could teach Lu Mu a few words.

"Yes." Lu Mao smiled, "Mu'er is well-behaved and cute, I like him very much." If Uncle Fourth doesn't mind, I can teach for a few days. ”

"Mu'er is going to take a scientific examination, you can help me see what kind of situation his current Xixi is and whether he is competent." Lu Luo Road.

Lu Qijun is a scholar, but he is extremely out of tune. The Xixi he hired, Lu Luo was not very relieved.

Lu Mao has studied in the academy for many years and has seen many famous Confucians, and he knows more about his capital.

"Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow." Lu Mao Road.

While they were talking, the little maid brought Yan Xun in.

Yan Xun changed into a blue-gray straight jacket, slender and straight, with handsome eyebrows, a clean face, no stubble, and entered the main house.

He first gave Wen a salute, and then he saluted Lu Mao.

"You're late, Luo'er has been talking to you for a long time." Wen said to Yan Xun.

Yan Xun's eyes warmed, and he looked back at Lu Luo.

Lu Luo lowered his eyes and ignored him.

Yan Xun sat down slightly, and Wen knew that he and Lu Luo had something to say, so he said to Lu Luo: "Why don't you accompany Hou Ye to the back garden for a walk?" I have something to say to your second brother. ”

She didn't have anything to say to Lu Mao, just to separate Lu Luo and Yan Xun.

Yan Xun immediately stood up.

Lu Luo knew that he had a gift for her, so he didn't hesitate and followed Yan Xun out.

The sun is slanting in the west, and the sky is getting late.

Yan Xun told Lu Luo in a low voice: "Your birthday gift, when I entered the door, I handed it to Biyun and asked her to put it in your room, and you can see it when you go back." ”

"What is it?" Lu Luo asked.

Yan Xun smiled: "You can see it yourself, you must like it." ”

Lu Luo glanced at him and felt that he was tricky.
