Chapter 101: Chinese New Year
h2> Wu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine, you can be close as sisters." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Shufang immediately raised her chin and shook her head; "No, I don't want to learn from her......"
"Why?" Lu Shuyi remained silent, although her words were soft, there was a little more sternness between her eyebrows. She clenched her sleeves lightly and said slowly: "Is the seventh sister afraid that I, who is a sister, will not be able to teach you well?" ”
Lu Shufang condensed, pursed her lips tightly and looked at Lu Shuyi.
The current situation is really unfavorable for her, without Aunt An's protection, what is she? She's nothing.
Wu's tone was kind, and he raised his hand to touch her forehead: "Good boy is obedient, follow your third sister to study hard first, and the two of you plus Jing'er can be regarded as a companion." As he spoke, he raised his hand and twisted a piece of dim sum into Lu Shufang's hand, as if coaxing a child, and said with a slight smile: "Your sisters are harmonious and learn the rules well, so that your grandmother can plan well for your future." ”
Wu raised his willow eyebrows lightly, and said meaningfully: "When the girl is older, she can't keep it after all, whether she can marry a good in-law depends on your creation......"
Lu Shufang just didn't know how to lift anymore, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but think about her future prospects......
"That'...... Can I still see my aunt every day? Lu Shufang's tone was much more well-behaved, and she lowered her eyelids and looked at her toes.
She's still a child after all, and she's still a child after all, no matter what an adult is. Wu's heart softened inexplicably, and he rubbed Lu Shufang's cheeks with a smile: "...... Don't worry, your aunt is always your biological mother, and you can go to see her whenever you are free. ”
Lu Shuyi sighed slightly in her heart, her mother was still too kind after all, if today's housemother was Aunt An, she would definitely not say such a thing so softly.
She knew in her heart that her mother's nature was like this. It is precisely because of this kind of temperament that he deserves to be respected.
In the next few days, Lu Shufang had to follow Lu Shuyi to copy scriptures every day, and the rest of the time she had to follow Wu to learn the rules. In this way, Lu Shufang also made people feel a lot more relieved, and there was no more trouble.
And Aunt An, since that night, has been unable to afford to be sick, as if she fell silent overnight.
Lu Shuyi knew very well in her heart, how could a person like her be willing to be silent? Willing to quit silently? It's just the peace before the resurrection......
…………
In the blink of an eye, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lu family's east and west provinces had a reunion dinner.
This New Year's dinner is a rule left by the ancestors of the Lu family, no matter whether the brothers are separated or not, they must eat flat food together on this day.
There are a lot of people, but the food is lively.
After the banquet was dispersed, the eldest lady set up a table in the Baoyue Pavilion in the east, and several wives came to accompany the old ladies of the two mansions to play cards and celebrate the New Year.
The children in several rooms also got together to talk and laugh and have fun, and after midnight, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Lu Shuyi got up early in the morning, dressed neatly, and went with Lu Shujing and them to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. Naturally, the elders also have to reward purses, gold and silver bills and other things as New Year's gifts.
Lu Shuyi asked Mo Ju to put these things away, and asked Mo Ju to make an account book, and how much in and out had to be recorded.
In her previous life, she had no concept of money, but in this life, she didn't want to be sloppy.
In the north, on the second and third days of the first month, I have to go to worship my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. Second Master Lu naturally took Lu Wenjie to visit Mrs. Lu's maternal uncle first, and only after he came back could he go to the Wu family to visit the Yang family.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu's maiden family, Pei's family, was reluctant to leave Changle Town, and it was only three or two hours to take a carriage back and forth.
The festival gifts sent to the Pei family are naturally carefully selected, for fear that if one is not good, it will lose the face of Mrs. Lu.
The eldest daughter, Lu Shujuan, is married to Qian Wenchang, the young master of the Qian family, a salt merchant in Jixian County, and I heard that she will also come back for the New Year this year.
For this eldest sister, Lu Shuyi seems to have forgotten it for a long time. In her previous life, Lu Shujuan married early, and later gave birth to children one after another in the Qian family, and the number of times she came back was also very few. When the Lu family was defeated, she escaped the catastrophe by relying on the Qian family, and she can be regarded as one of the few lucky people in the Lu family.
As soon as Lu Shujuan was mentioned that she was coming back, a flower bloomed on the eldest lady's smiling face, and she said to Wu: "A few days ago, Miss Juan sent someone to send a letter, saying that Wenchang was going to buy a salt well again. The eldest lady smiled as she spoke, with a look of honor: "You said that Wenchang, this kid is also bold, and in the past three years, he has bought four salt wells that others don't look down on, and they all turned out to be good salt wells." ”
Regarding Qian Wenchang and his person, Lu Shuyi really didn't know anything about him. In her previous life, she only heard from the eldest wife and the people around her how powerful he was and how visionary he was. As for how much ability he has, Lu Shuyi really doesn't know.
"Juan girl is a blessed one." Wu nodded with a smile, and said with envy: "If my Yi'er or Jing'er can marry so well in the future, then even if I die, I can close my eyes with peace of mind." ”
The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled, and said continuously: "What is not a blessing, as long as the children are safe, it is my greatest blessing." ”
“…… By the way, I heard from outside that the Pan family bought a few grain stores from your mother's family, do you know about this? The eldest lady took a sip of the tea bowl on the table, and said in a low voice, "If it goes on like this......"
The eldest lady shook her head very exaggeratedly: "Brother and sister, don't blame me for being an outsider who talks too much, your brother is really ......" She stopped talking and said, "But if he is more sensible, you will not be in such a situation as you are now...... A few days ago, I heard that he went to the Cheng family's compound to make trouble and beat people, and it turned out to be an unpopular drama......
Lu Shuyi listened to it really in the hall, and she was annoyed and ridiculous.
When you praise your son-in-law, you have to compare yourself with others?
Wu Cheng is indeed not a weapon, but he shouldn't say these frustrating words during the New Year.
Wu's mood was obviously low, and he frowned and sighed: "I always thought that he was still a child......
After the eldest lady left, Wu's love was never mentioned, and she sat sullenly on the edge of the kang and drank two boiled thick and bitter tea, thinking that her only brother was always so unsuccessful, who could support the Wu family in the future?
Just frowning, Lu Shuyi walked over quietly, Mama Zhao was about to make a sound, she quietly made a gesture for Mama Zhao not to make a sound, but she walked lightly in front of Wu, Jiaojiao smiled and said: "The New Year's Eve, my mother's soul is about to be lost." ”
Wu came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, took Lu Shuyi's hand and said, "Why don't you play with your sister?" He handed her another bowl of hot tea.
“…… What's the fun? I'm tired of playing with it. Lu Shuyi sat on the pestle and smiled at Wu: "When are we going to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings?" I prepared a gift for my grandmother this year. ”
In her previous life, Lu Shuyi was not interested in New Year's greetings, every time she went to her grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, Wu urged and urged, so she reluctantly followed, but this year she was an outlier.
Wu was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "...... Don't you love to go to the New Year the least? ”
Lu Shuyi smiled smartly: "Who said I don't like to go to New Year's greetings?" I'm going to ask my grandmother and uncle for their bonus! ”
Wu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "You! And he said, "When your father comes back from your uncle's house, let's go again." ”
“…… Okay, then I'll go and prepare my gift first. With that, he giggled and got up and left.
Wu was stunned for a moment, and said with a low smile to Mama Zhao: "This kid is very strange this year...... and said that she was going to pay New Year's greetings, and she said that she wanted to give gifts, but I was confused by her. ”
Mama Zhao grinned: "This is a gratifying thing, our third young lady is really sensible and has grown up a lot." ”
Wu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and muttered, "The third girl has grown up......"
Grown up?
Lu Shuyi stood quietly under the window and listened, feeling indescribable.
In her previous life, she was ignorant, did she also make her mother frown every day? Is it also a scar on my mother's heart?
The chill hit, and a cloud of snow fell on the roof tiles, fluttering on Lu Shuyi's shoulder. Mo Ju raised her hand to brush away the snow for her, and whispered, "It's cold outside, let's go back first." ”
Lu Shuyi was about to leave, but saw a second-class maid beside the eldest lady hurrying over.
Lu Shuyi's footsteps froze, and suddenly she remembered something.
On this day in her previous life, her little aunt Lu Zhaoning had brought her husband to visit, but for some reason, Mrs. Lu was furious and injured Lu Zhaoning's husband Du Kuan with a vase.
Since this incident, Lu Zhaoning and Du Kuan have never stepped into the Lu family again.
Could it be ...... Is Lu Zhaoning and Du Kuan here?
When she came back to her senses, Wu had already hurried out with the support of Mama Zhao, and asked the maid, "Fifth Aunt and Grandma are still kneeling outside?" ”
"Kneeling, our wife said that it was too cold outside, and I was afraid that the fifth aunt and grandmother would kneel down, so I asked you to go over and plead with the fifth aunt and grandmother......"
Wu frowned and sighed: "How is this good, the old lady is not here...... How can this be a good ......?"
What did Lu Zhaoning say to Mrs. Lu in his previous life?
Although Lu Zhaoning is not well married, although Mrs. Lu doesn't like to see her, but she is also a piece of meat that fell from Mrs. Lu's body, what did she do to make Mrs. Lu unhappy?
Lu Shuyi's mind was turning, and she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Mother, my little aunt is here?" ”
Wu sighed and said as he walked: "Your little aunt hasn't been at home for several years, but now somehow she is here again...... Your grandmother is angry, so don't go with her. ”
How could Lu Shuyi not go? In her previous life, she didn't know how Lu Zhaoning offended Mrs. Lu, and she had to figure it out in this life.
Besides, Lu Zhaoning has a character who dares to love and hate, and he has treated her very well since she was a child, how can she not go.
In her previous life, it seemed that her mother didn't let her go to see it, so she couldn't go......
“…… Let me go with you, and more than one person can persuade grandmother. This is a big New Year, you can't make a fuss. Lu Shuyi followed the Wu family and hurriedly walked forward, without the slightest intention of going back.
When Wu heard it, he was right, and many people could always persuade him more, so he whispered: "When you get to the old lady's house, don't interject when the adults talk." ”R1152
