Lu Qingrong This is the first time he has seen Yin Qinghua.

Yin Qinghua was wearing a blue-gray collar and walked over to them, with a sense of politeness.

When he got closer, he found that he had distinct facial features and angular features, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't feel any resemblance to Yin Pingru.

As soon as Yin Qinghua received the news that they had passed Tongzhou and were about to arrive in the capital, he came to the city gate to wait, and now he saw Gu and Yin Pingru and the four of them, so they were naturally very happy.

"Daddy!" Yin Zihao shouted and ran over.

Yin Qinghua hadn't seen his son for a long time, so he squatted down and hugged him, shaking back and forth. Yin Zihao was so happy that he "giggled" and laughed.

Yin Qinghua put Yin Zihao down and took Lu Qingrong from Yin Pingru's arms.

"Qingrong has really grown up a lot, the last time I saw her was when she was full moon!" Yin Qinghua hugged Lu Qingrong and said.

"Uncle!" Lu Qingrong's voice was not loud, but his words were very clear.

Yin Qinghua was very happy to hear this, and while hugging her, he asked Yin Pingru if they were still smooth on the road.

Lu Qingrong only found out at this time that on a black oil flat-topped carriage in the direction where Yin Qinghua had just come, another man in Tsing Yi came down, who was about the same age as Yin Qinghua, and he was also walking towards them.

This person is the second master of the Lu family where Yin Qinghua lives, and the forty-fifth Jinshi of the same department as Yin Qinghua, Lu Yizhong.

The Lu family and the Yin family are both from Jinan, and the lord of the Lu family and Yin Qinghua's father were friends during his lifetime, and the two families had frequent contacts.

So this Lu Yizhong, Gu and Yin Pingru all recognize it.

"Second Master Lu."

"Second Brother Lu."

Gu Shi and Yin Pingru shouted softly.

greeted each other, and Lu Yizhong did not forget to praise Yin Zihao and Lu Qingrong who met for the first time, which was nothing more than some "smart and clever" words.

Before Lu Qingrong met, the man had a white complexion, handsome eyebrows, and a straight nose......

It's April, and it's almost sunset, and the weather in the capital is still a little cold.

Everyone didn't stand outside the car for a long time, they all returned to the car, followed the black oil flat-topped carriage in front, and drove towards Lu Fu.

The Lu Mansion is located in Jinglin Hutong in the north of the capital, which is not particularly large in the courtyard of the capital, but it is also much more spacious than the Yin family's house in Jinan.

The main courtyard is where Mrs. Lu lives, and the eldest uncle Lu Yiduo and the second grandfather Lu Yizhong live in the east and west courtyards.

In recent years, Lu Yiduo has been in office in Henan, and the east courtyard of the Lu Mansion has been empty.

Yin Qinghua now lives in a small courtyard south of the east courtyard, and there is a door in the courtyard that can directly enter and exit, so there is no need to bypass the main courtyard, which is much more convenient.

Yin Pingru and Gu entered the courtyard, and without staying for a moment, they directly took the children to the main courtyard to meet Mrs. Lu.

Follow Yin Qinghua and Lu Yizhong out of the red moon gate of the east courtyard, walk dozens of steps to the west into the hanging flower gate of the main courtyard, and go all the way north along the bluestone Yong Road, and arrive at the flower hall that you entered.

Lu Qingrong looked at the place he passed along the way, the entire courtyard was surrounded by pink walls, green trees, and blue gray brick and stone paved roads were staggered, giving people a sense of stability and calm.

The four dark red carved doors of the flower hall were all open at this time, and as soon as I entered, I saw Mrs. Lu sitting in the middle.

Mrs. Lu is nearly fifty years old, her hair is gray, she is wearing a ginger bamboo leaf pattern makeup gown, and an eight-piece skirt with autumn fragrance, her body is a little fat, but her expression is very clear.

Yin Pingru and his entourage first greeted Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu saw the two children, Yin Zihao and Lu Qingrong, and she also liked it very much, and gave jade jade pendants and bracelets as meeting gifts.

The two children took the gifts and thanked Mrs. Lu in a similar way.

Mrs. Lu nodded again and again, and praised them again.

"During the examination period in Beijing, our uncle was taken care of by Mrs. Lu, and I haven't thanked you yet!" Gu Shi said respectfully: "Now our family is going to come over to disturb again, I'm really embarrassed......

"What are these words! I'm too late to be happy that you're here to stay! It's not that there is no place, the East Courtyard has been deserted for all these years, and now it is finally a little popular. Stay in the main courtyard and eat with me today. ”

Mrs. Lu said, called the maid to order the preparation of the meal, and said to Lu Yizhong: "Ask your daughter-in-law to bring the child over too, let's be lively together." ”

Lu Yizhong hurriedly responded and went out to make arrangements.

Mrs. Lu continued to say to Yin Pingru and Gu: "It's been a long time since the family has been so lively, the boss has been an official outside all these years, and he may not be able to come back for the New Year...... Fortunately, the term of office is almost over, and it won't be long before I can go to Beijing to report on my work......"

Yin Pingru still listened calmly and obediently to Mrs. Lu's homely routine.

When Gu heard that "Lu Yiduo will return to Beijing to report on his work", he was faintly worried......

Lu Yiduo, the uncle of the Lu family, is serving as the governor of Henan, and his sons and two daughters are also following him in office. His wife died shortly after giving birth to her baby daughter three years ago.

The people of the Yin family also knew all these things.

But there are some things that Yin Pingru doesn't know, but Gu Shi knows.

Not long after Lu Yiduo's wife died of illness, because there was no one to take care of her young son, as soon as the mourning period passed, Mrs. Lu asked Lu Yiduo to marry another house.

Mrs. Lu liked Yin Pingru very much at that time, and once asked someone to go to Yin Pingru's mother to probe the news, and Yin Pingru's mother called the Gu family to discuss together.

Gu still remembers that at that time, his mother was still very satisfied with Lu Yiduo, thinking that he was a person with both talent and virtue, but she was unwilling to let Yin Pingru do this house-filling.

First, because Lu Yiduo is much older than Yin Pingru, his mother feels that he is not a very good match.

The other is because of Lu Yiduo's children.

Lu Yiduo already has a son and two daughters, both of whom are grandchildren. This stepmother is not good, it can be said that the left is not, and the right is not. She didn't want Yin Pingru to face such a complicated environment.

It just so happened that the He family came to ask for He Kai's marriage at that time, and his mother completely rejected the Lu family's matter.

Now that two years have passed, these are said to have become old things, and looking at Mrs. Lu's current attitude, she has already let go.

What's more, Yin Pingru didn't know about these twists and turns at all.

But Gu's concern is not Mrs. Lu or Yin Pingru, but Lu Yiduo.

At that time, as soon as the mourning period was over, Mrs. Lu was in a hurry to marry him and fill the house, just to be able to take better care of the child. Since this is the case, the Yin family refuses, and they will inevitably find another family.

But two years have passed, and Lu Yiduo is still in office alone with his children, so what's going on?
