Mrs. Lu's Pei family had a total of seven children, four boys and three girls, but only five children survived in the end, and two died early.

Lu Shuyi's father is the second in the Lu family, and he has a younger brother below him, who is the sixth in the family. In the past, when he entered Beijing to do business, the sixth master got acquainted with the eldest lady of the Zhao family, a silk merchant in Kyoto, and the two fell in love, and later the sixth master married Miss Zhao and stayed in Kyoto to take care of the Lu family's business in Kyoto.

This time, Mrs. Lu took Lu Shuyi's father, the third and fourth masters of Xifu to Kyoto, because the ironware business in Kyoto is getting better and better, and Mrs. Lu plans to change the sixth master to a new house.

Lu Shuyi remembered that after the defeat of the Lu family, the mansion in Kyoto was also raided. As for whose hands it ended up in, she never inquired again.

And Lu Shuyi's father, Master Lu Er, is an elegant person and does not like the deceit between businessmen very much. Over the years, he has read the books of sages and sages, and he also wants to become an official. It's just that I've taken the exam a few times, and now I'm just passing the township.

Lu Shuyi's impression of her father seems to only stay when he tried and failed.

Lu Shujing's face was excited, and she walked extremely fast with her skirt: "I don't know what good things my father bought for me?" She muttered to herself, unable to suppress her anticipation: "I heard that there is a dim sum shop in Kyoto that has delicious rose cakes and pea yellows. That's right, there are also hibiscus cakes and Emei cakes that are delicious. ”

Lu Shuyi held her forehead and asked her, "After eating so many sweets, do you still want your teeth?" ”

Lu Shujing blinked embarrassedly: "If my father buys it, I will only eat a little every day." ”

A little? Lu Shuyi was very suspicious of what her point was. Her sister doesn't have enough sweets, as long as they are in her hands, they will never be left at night.

"Okay, whatever you want." Lu Shuyi smiled and quipped: "It's just that don't eat secretly in the bed at night, the maid who doesn't know still thinks it's a rat!" ”

"Sister......" Lu Shujing blushed and stuck to Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi chuckled, looked at her with lowered eyebrows, and said softly: "When you see your father, don't patronize what you want to eat." Even if you want it, you have to wait for your father to go back before asking for it, you know? ”

"Sister, don't worry!" Lu Shujing nodded clearly: "I'm not stupid, I know how to do it." ”

While talking, the two sisters were already standing at the door of the hall of Fushouju, and two little girls were busy opening the curtains.

When the two walked in, they found that the main hall was already crowded. The people from the big room and the third room are here.

The fourth wife of the fourth room and her children recently returned to their parents' house for summer vacation and have not yet returned.

Wufang takes care of Yizhou's business, and usually only comes back during the holidays.

Old lady Lu was dressed in a Buddha-headed green lake silk plain face, and her sideburns and hair were gray, but her eyes were sharp. At this moment, he is sitting upright on the black lacquer carved master, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sipping tea slowly.

Mrs. Lu sat on the Taishi chair on the right-hand side, and the eldest lady He waited on the side. In the lower hand, Lu Shuyi's father sits in turn, the third master Lu Yunhe, and the fourth master Lu Yunzheng. Standing next to each other were the third wife, Pei Shi, and several girls, and He Zhao'er was also present.

Aunt An stood under the window, only with a maid by her side, and there was no trace of Lu Shufang. It seems that her father is here, and Mrs. Lu has not lifted her grounding.

When He Zhao'er saw Lu Shuyi coming in, she hurriedly winked at her, but Lu Shuyi didn't pay attention to it, and just took two steps forward without squinting.

"The three girls and the eight girls are here." He looked at the two sisters with a smile.

Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Second Master Lu watched the two sisters come over to say goodbye, and seemed to be very happy, and gently shouted at Lu Shujing: "Jing'er, Yi'er...... Come here. At the same time, he looked at Lu Shuyi and said, "Well, but I haven't seen you in January, Yi'er looks a little taller." ”

Lu Shuyi looked at her father, still as elegant as in her previous life. He was wearing a crow-blue robe, and he smiled gently.

In her previous life, she was so rebellious, and her father always tolerated her rebellion again and again. Until the last moment, when her father was dying, he did not forget to tell her to live well.

She still remembered that he was grabbed by officers and soldiers at that time, and although his hair was messy, his face was still the usual calm appearance. Before leaving, he held her hand and said word by word: "Yi'er, my father is sorry for you, I have let you live in the Buddha Hall for several years, but I have never found you a good mother-in-law." You remember Daddy's words, no matter what kind of pain you suffer in the future, you must live well. Only by living can there be hope ......"

Only by living can there be hope.

It was also this sentence that accompanied her for the rest of her life.

Seeing her father again at this moment, all kinds of feelings poured in her heart like a flood, Lu Shuyi's eyes were a little sour, and tears almost fell out.

"Yo, what's going on? What's wrong with this girl? He walked over quickly, took Lu Shuyi's hand, and said with a smile: "The little one didn't cry, but the big one cried." ”

Pei Shi took over the conversation and said: "It's hard for Yi'er in the past two days, and I have to be busy going to my second sister-in-law every day to serve." What a human being she is! It's no wonder that my father's eyes are red. ”

What is in Lu Shuyi's heart, who can understand them?

Fortunately, when the third wife said this, everyone thought that this was the reason, so they explained Lu Shuyi with words.

Second Master Lu called Lu Shuyi over and comforted: "Don't worry, your mother will be fine."

Lu Shuyi couldn't tell the taste in her heart, so she only smiled at her father and whispered, "My daughter knows." ”

Old lady Lu put the teacup and said, "Didn't the second daughter-in-law's illness ask Doctor Xue to take a look?" But what did you see? ”

Mrs. Lu hadn't told Mrs. Lu about Fu'er's poisoning, and He and Pei were even more secretive, holding a handkerchief and caressing their cheeks.

Old Mrs. Lu coughed lightly: "Doctor Xue just said that the second daughter-in-law's body is too weak, take care of it, and after a year or two, she will be able to recover." ”

"Since that's the case, let's take care of it!" Old lady Lu said slowly: "The house of the sixth child has been taken care of, and you can also have a place to stay when you go to Kyoto in the future." ”

At the mention of the sixth master, Mrs. Lu's face immediately became more joyful. It is said that mothers prefer young children, and in this regard, Mrs. Lu is very prominent. The things at home, as long as there are good ones, she always thinks about keeping them for the sixth master, and when she sees the sixth master, she speaks even more lovingly, and never gets angry with the sixth master.

She was full of smiles and a look of pride: "It's also the sixth kid who is angry, and in the past few years in Kyoto, the business has been managed in an orderly manner." ”

Pei Shi couldn't help but pout, and didn't seem to agree with Mrs. Lu's statement. But fortunately, Mrs. Lu was in a good mood and didn't notice her small actions, so she only said to herself: "When it comes to the beginning of spring next year, I'll go to Kyoto to see him." ”

Second Master Lu immediately took a square brocade box on the table: "This is the old ginseng left by the sixth brother for you, saying that you can replenish your body." ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at it, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's still the sixth filial piety!" ”

"Mother means I'm not filial?" Second Master Lu pointed to a jar of pre-rain dragon wells on the table: "This is what I asked someone to find, the best pre-rain dragon well." ”

Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I know that you are also a filial person." ”

"Old lady, this is me and my third brother honoring you." The fourth old man pointed to several boxes of different sizes on the table: "There are no rare things, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get into the eyes of the old lady." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled: "Then tell me, what can enter my eyes?" If you can enter my eyes, then you must not be willing to enter! ”

The fourth old man didn't like reading the most, and when he heard this, he shook his head: "If the old lady likes this, then I really don't." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Lu said, "The third and fourth go back quickly, don't let your mother wait." ”

The third and fourth masters came to Dongfu as soon as they got out of the car, and they haven't returned to Xifu yet!

The two answered yes, and Fang led the family back to Xifu.

As soon as the people from Xifu left, Mrs. Lu asked about the sixth master's mansion in detail.

PS: Recommend my friend Agarwood Ash's work "Liang Chen Meijin" before she reached forty, she was riddled with all kinds of diseases, and her son was marrying when she died. Jin Chao felt that there was no more attachment in this life, who knew that he woke up when he was young and in his prime. Back then, I didn't change my mind; Now I'm as cold as a knife.
