Chapter 186: Mother's Family

Lu Qingrong did only take Luzhu for one day off, because she still needed to accompany her back to Lu Mansion the next day.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to custom, I want to go back to my parents' house.

In the early morning of that day, Lu Qingrong woke up earlier than usual, and didn't use anyone to wake her up.

Because of this, she actually saw Jiang Xuan sleeping for the first time.

Usually Jiang Xuan has to get up a long time before her every day, and even many times when she just got up, Jiang Xuan has already come back from practicing calligraphy in the study. Fortunately, the two of them have become accustomed to this rhythm.

At this time, Lu Qingrong put his steps very lightly, walked to the bead curtain, and quietly looked at Jiang Xuan who was lying outside.

From her direction, Jiang Xuan's face was almost completely invisible, only the top of his head.

It turned out that when he slept, his hair was also combed, Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart.

In winter, the sun comes out late, and although the sun is not shining directly at the moment, I can already see that the sky outside is a little cloudy. The small lamp next to Jiang Xuan's bed gradually became faint, but it kept on uninterruptedly.

Lu Qingrong stared at the light for a while, and unconsciously wanted to go over and help him blow it out.

It's just that the past has blown out the wait, Lu Qingrong muttered in his heart, and he had already begun to tiptoe up the bead curtain. She moves lightly, trying not to give the shells a chance to make any noise.

When she walked to Jiang Xuan's bed, she suddenly couldn't care about the lamp.

Jiang Xuan was lying flat on the bed, his posture was very regular, he was wearing a white silk forging bedclothes, the quilt was pulled on his chest, his shoulders were exposed, and his breathing was slow and steady. There is nothing unusual about this qiē.

And Lu Qingrong's attention happened to be completely attracted the moment he saw his face.

With a tall nose bridge, closed eyes, and Jiang Xuan, who was extremely quiet, gave her a very different feeling. Especially when she found out for the first time that Jiang Xuan's forehead eyelashes were actually very thick, and the long eyelashes covered the eyes, trembling with his breathing, that feeling was ...... Lu Qingrong only felt his heartbeat beating unconsciously beating with that rhythm.

A strange thought suddenly popped up in his heart, his eyelashes should be longer than his own, right?

Lu Qingrong moved as he wished, and directly stretched his hand to his eyes, thinking if he could pick up a fallen eyelash by chance.

Anyone who is even the slightest bit sober should know how ridiculous this idea is. After that, Lu Qingrong recalled this incident and insisted that he was fierce at that time, and his mind was not very clear......

And when she stretched out her hand, before she could touch Jiang Xuan's eyes, she was dragged by a sudden force.

When she came to her senses, she was lying on Jiang Xuan's body in an extremely inappropriate posture......

Looking up, Jiang Xuan had indeed opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile, his eyes were extremely innocent, but it made her feel a little provocative.

"Did you wake up a long time ago?" Lu Qingrong forced himself to calm down and pretended to be angry.

"It's not up to me. I slept lightly, and I woke up when you lifted the beaded curtain. Jiang Xuan told the truth, smiling unabated.

"I ...... I'm watching the sky dawn and want to help you blow out the lights! Lu Qingrong did not give up his defense.

"Oh." Jiang Xuan responded.

was not exposed, Lu Qingrong was a little uncomfortable, and was stunned for a moment before continuing: "You're a little late today, don't you have to go to the study to write?" ”

"If this posture is maintained for a while, I am really not sure if I can go to the study to practice calligraphy......," Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

Lu Qingrong blushed when he said this, and only then did he notice how ambiguous the posture of the two of them was at this time.

Her entire body was almost face-to-face on Jiang Xuan's body, only separated by a layer of quilt. In particular, she hadn't changed her clothes yet, and although she didn't show any nudity, she was only wearing a white bedgown after all.

At this time, she didn't need to look at her eyelashes at all to clearly feel Jiang Xuan's heartbeat.

And what Jiang Xuan felt was not just Lu Qingrong's heartbeat......

The unexpected softness pressed on him, and Jiang Xuan was really a little surprised. On weekdays, I looked at Lu Qingrong very thin, but I didn't expect it to be my own clumsiness.

Jiang Xuan was only thinking about one thing now, was it because he hadn't paid attention to it before, or had Lu Qingrong only become so ...... in the past few days

No matter how smart Ren Lu Qingrong was, he couldn't guess what he was thinking about at the moment.

He stood up suddenly, and it took him half a day to stand firm. Lu Qingrong stood beside the bed and finally regained his momentum: "You haven't gotten up yet, after practicing calligraphy, we have to go to Lufu to pay New Year's greetings!" ”

Jiang Xuan didn't get up, but turned over and lay on his side inside: "I haven't woken up yet, you go and clean up first." Naturally, it will not delay the New Year's greetings! ”

From the content to the tone, it is full of eccentricity.

Could it be that he is still shy...... Lu Qingrong walked back to the inner room suspiciously, and called Luzhu to help her freshen up.

When Luzhu helped her comb her hair, she still paid attention to the movement outside, but she didn't hear any sound.

It wasn't until she thought it was Jiang Xuan who had fallen asleep for the first time that she suddenly heard the sound of rustling clothes outside. When she freshened up and changed her clothes and walked out, Jiang Xuan had already gone to the study.

Lu Zhu didn't notice anything unusual, but knew that Madame got up very early today. Xu is going back to his parents' house today, so he is looking forward to it.

Jiang Xuan did not lose his words, came back from the study, hurriedly accompanied Lu Qingrong to have a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and the two of them set off for Lu Mansion on time.

Since it is the right day to return to his mother's house, today Lu Mansion is not only Jiang Xuan's son-in-law. Di Qian also brought Lu Fangyu, who was pregnant with Liujia, back to pay New Year's greetings.

Di Qian visited flowers in high school last year, and at this time he was already the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Originally, the compilation of the "Jingxi Canon" was at a critical juncture, in order to complete it as scheduled, it was not easy for many people in the Hanlin Academy to have this day of rest, and people like Jiang Shenzhi, who presided over the overall situation, could only spend the New Year in the Hanlin Academy.

When Jiang Xuan accompanied Lu Qingrong back, Lu Fangyu and Di Qian had already arrived first.

Everyone first went to Mrs. Tai in the main courtyard to greet each other and distribute red envelopes, and there was laughter and laughter for a while.

Whether it is Mrs. Tai sitting on the main seat, or Lu Yiduo and Lu Yizhong, they all seem to be much more energetic than usual because of the atmosphere of the New Year.

The juniors are also very happy.

Among them, Lu Chengxu is especially important, after all, he is the youngest child in this generation, and the only one who is still in childhood, so he is naturally more lively. I saw him walking around the house like a little adult, and from time to time stuffed the red envelopes or gifts he received to Yin Pingru to help collect them, which made everyone laugh.

And Lu Chengxi is much more stable than before, and even becomes a little taciturn. Supposedly, at his age, this change is not too unusual. It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Manyu had been in the palace for some time, and the Geng family had never planned to tell him about his relatives, which was inevitably not in line with her character.

Looking at today's Geng family, if you look at the costume, it is undoubtedly the most eye-catching candidate in today's Lu Mansion.

I saw that she was wearing a red embroidered hundred butterfly stand-up collar placket, with a skirt of the same color and embroidered shoes, and her hair was combed into an extremely complicated bun. The gold ornaments on the head are still indispensable, and the full red gold Ruyi pattern is a must-have, and there are many kinds of dotted emerald beads, which are worn in every part of the hair.

Lu Qingrong reacted suddenly, no wonder he couldn't tell what kind of bun she was, it was a little difficult to see her hair.

Today, the people of the Lu family are exceptionally neat, except for Lu Manyu, who can't leave the palace lightly, the rest of the people are gathered in the flower hall of the main courtyard.

But Geng's mood was obviously not affected by Lu Manyu's absence, but was extremely proud because of it, and talked about his daughter from time to time.

Until the banquet at noon, she could still be heard constantly saying, "This is our sister Man'er's favorite food, and I don't know if it can be eaten in the palace...... She is pregnant at this time, and it is the time when it is critical, so I am afraid that she will not be able to eat well......"

Lu Qingrong has long been accustomed to Geng's style, but he can't help but snicker in his heart, there won't even be a sweet and sour loin in the palace, right?

Everyone was the same, and it seemed that if she didn't mention a few words, it would be strange.

Including Jiang Yunpei, the only guest in the banquet, he was very used to it.

This time, Lord Jiang wanted to stay in the Hanlin Courtyard, Jiang Ling was far away in Mobei, and Jiang Yunpei was the only one left in the South Courtyard, so he was invited by Mrs. Tai to sit at the table of the female dependents and have dinner with everyone.

After the banquet, after all, Mrs. Tai was very old, so she talked with everyone for a while, and then went back to the house to rest.

As soon as Mrs. Tai left, Lu Yiduo and Lu Yizhong took their son and son-in-law to the front yard.

As soon as Lu Yiduo left, Lu Qianyu, who had not made much noise before, suddenly came to her senses, and dragged Lu Qingrong and asked them to follow her back to Wisteria Pavilion.

Lu Qingrong looked at Yin Pingru with some embarrassment, she wanted to talk to her mother.

Yin Pingru smiled back with a comforting smile: "You guys go first!" ”

Hengzhu had nothing to do all day today, and it was the same when everyone dispersed and then went to find his mother, Lu Qingrong followed the sisters back to the Wisteria Pavilion.

Now this two-story small building has long since left Lu Qianyu alone. And she will marry Yin Zihao soon after the year.

Today's Wisteria Pavilion is rarely lively, in addition to Lu Qingrong and Lu Fangyu, sisters-in-law Fan and Jiang Yunpei were also pulled by Lu Qianyu.

These days, she is really suffocating, and she was locked up in the house by Yin Pingru to learn female celebrity and embroider dowry. However, without Lu Qingrong and Lu Manyu by her side, she herself was not much interested in female studies, so she simply nested in the mansion willingly.

Therefore, seeing that the Wisteria Pavilion was so lively, Lu Qianyu became a little more cheerful, first instructed the maid to serve tea and snacks to everyone like a master, and then looked at them one by one.

When she saw Lu Qingrong, Lu Qianyu's expression was particularly exaggerated: "Fourth sister! I just put up with it in the main courtyard and didn't ask, how did you become so fat? ”

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong was confused by her, and rolled up his sleeves to shine on his forearm in the sun, and he didn't see much difference.

"I'm not talking about arms!" Lu Qianyu corrected.

Lu Qingrong looked up and down by herself, and she didn't feel any fat, until she looked at Lu Qianyu with a puzzled face, and she saw the clue from where her gaze was.

At this time, Lu Qianyu kept staring at her chest.

Is it so obvious? Lu Qingrong suddenly felt a little distressed. Of course, she won't be unaware of the changes in her body, but she didn't expect others to be so easy to find, not to mention that she also specially picked a loose collar jacket to wear.

If it was just like this, it would be fine, but because of these words, Lu Qingrong thought of Jiang Xuan's strangeness in the morning, and suddenly blushed.

Lu Fangyu and Jiang Yunpei were used to Lu Qianyu's expression, but they didn't feel anything.

Only the sister-in-law Fan is not very adaptable, and she is a naturally sensitive person, so she is inevitably anxious to relieve Lu Qingrong, so she smiled at Lu Qianyu and said: "You are rare and strange, you will have such a day when you catch up with Ming'er!" ”

"Wouldn't it? I'm her sister! Lu Qianyu pointed at Lu Qingrong with a puzzled expression and said, but her expression seemed to be seriously thinking about it.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh, even Lu Qingrong and Fan's were no exception.

Then everyone's chat became more and more relaxed, and most of the time Lu Qianyu was complaining about how strictly she had been controlled recently, and how lonely she was after everyone married out one after another.

Everyone also said that after she married into the Yin Mansion, someone would definitely play with her.

This is by no means that everyone is fooling her, but a heartfelt emotion. In everyone's hearts, except for Yin Zihao, there is absolutely no second person who is more suitable for marrying Lu Qianyu. Although Fan's feelings were not as deep as those of the others, they were somewhat aware of them.

It didn't take long for everyone's attention to focus on Lu Fangyu's stomach again. At this time, she was already pregnant, and her face was much rounder than usual, so she was naturally attacked by Lu Qianyu with "fat" again.

Lu Fangyu didn't think so at all, and smiled even brighter than others.

At this time, Lu Qingrong also noticed that Fan, who had been following the side to make fun, when he looked at Lu Fangyu, the envy in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and even revealed a little loneliness.

Although there was not much contact, Lu Qingrong had already felt that this sister-in-law was a delicate person and extremely sensitive, so she thought that she was too concerned about the matter of her heirs.

After all, Lu Chengjie is the eldest son of the Lu family, and it is understandable that she has this kind of pressure.

It's just that Lu Qingrong feels that since she has been married for some time, she should have some understanding of the situation in the Lu Mansion, except for Mrs. Tai, who is already old and doesn't take care of things, may be a little anxious, with Yin Pingru and Lu Chengjie's temperament, I'm afraid that even if it takes three or five years or even longer, she doesn't know what she doesn't have at all.

Lu Qingrong wanted to persuade him, but because Fan didn't speak, he didn't take the initiative to say anything.

At this time, it was Lu Qianyu who came out again to pull the topic away again.

I saw Lu Qianyu suddenly face Jiang Yunpei and asked, "Sister Jiang, won't your eldest brother come back for the New Year?" ”

The tone is extremely ordinary, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But Lu Qingrong almost laughed out loud, because she noticed that Lu Qianyu's address to Jiang Ling naturally changed from "Brother Jiang" to "Your Big Brother"......

Sometimes she can't help but admire Lu Qianyu's emotional outlook that she can afford to let go, if she hadn't grown up with her since she was a child, she would have doubted whether she had also crossed over.

"I received a letter from my eldest brother a year ago, mentioning that I would definitely not be able to come back for the New Year." Jiang Yunpei said with a smile: "However, he also mentioned in his letter that they will visit the capital after the year." ”

"A trip? Is it possible to go to Mobei again? Lu Qianyu didn't miss the point, "Is that kind of desolate place so attractive?" It made him linger again and again! ”

Lu Qianyu's words were filled with incomprehension.

Jiang Yunpei just smiled, she hadn't been there herself, and she didn't think she had the right to speak. And even if you have been there, you may not be able to understand Jiang Ling's thoughts.

Lu Qingrong thought in his heart at this time, Jiang Ling and the others were going back to Beijing, but he hadn't heard Jiang Xuan mention it.

"Still going to Mobei, isn't he really going to prepare for the imperial examination?" Lu Qingrong asked casually.

"I also mentioned this in my letter to him, but he always said that there is a lot of time, and he doesn't care about the ...... of this moment" Jiang Yunpei was a little helpless, every time she mentioned Jiang Ling, she didn't look like a younger sister, but like a sister who worried about him.

"Sister Jiang, don't worry, your eldest brother is so smart, as long as you can rush back before the exam, there will be no problem!" Lu Qianyu is full of confidence.

Lu Qianyu was obviously a little overexcited today.

Lu Qingrong looked at her, but her heart was warm, Lu Qianyu will always appear in front of everyone so vigorously, enthusiastic and kind, and her mouth is open, if she is not present, no matter how many people gather here, it will be much duller than now.

There's nothing like sisters getting together and rambling around. In the blink of an eye, it was almost dusk, Lu Fangyu was pregnant, and she was afraid that the people in Di Mansion would worry, so she took the initiative to get up and take the lead in saying goodbye.

Lu Qingrong also followed, and in Lu Qianyu's unfinished and resentful eyes, he followed Lu Fangyu to the main house in front of him and bid farewell to Yin Pingru.

And when Lu Fangyu left and left, after a long time, Lu Qingrong still refused to leave.

In fact, everything that should be said has been said almost completely, so that Yin Pingru can rest assured that he is doing well in the Hou Mansion, and he also did not shy away from reminding Lu Manyu of the situation in the palace.

"It's getting dark, and you're not leaving?" Yin Pingru pretended to be angry.

"It's dark early in winter, but it's not too late!" Lu Qingrong sat there solemnly.

Seeing that the daughter in front of her was still judging the situation when she just talked about the shape of the palace, she was steady and capable, and her head was right, but now she turned her face and was coquettish again, Yin Pingru was still happy in her heart.

"Are you still going to have dinner here?" Yin Pingru smiled even deeper.

Lu Qingrong stretched out his head and looked out for a while, seriously considering Yin Pingru's suggestion: "Jiang Xuan didn't come to a letter, I don't know if I can stay and eat!" ”

When she turned around and saw her mother's slightly reproachful eyes coming to her, she quickly changed her words: "I mean Shizi, there is no movement on Shizi's side......"

Lu Qingrong's posture of "if he doesn't come to urge, I won't leave" really surprised Yin Pingru.

But before she could open her mouth to prepare to educate Lu Qingrong, there was really movement on Jiang Xuan's side.

The little servant in Lu Yiduo's study came over to tell him, saying that the eldest master and the prince were playing chess in the study, and ordered that dinner would be used over there, so that there was no need to wait for him.

Yin Pingru became even more surprised now. Does the Marquis of Jingyuan also plan to stay here and not leave? It was the first thought that rose in her mind.

Looking at Lu Qingrong's satisfactory appearance on the side, I couldn't tell what it was like. The words of the lesson that had been prepared just now were held back like this.

Because Mrs. Tai is old and insists on eating dinner very simply, she doesn't need them to serve her over for a long time, Yin Pingru rarely has the opportunity to eat with her daughter in her own room, so she is naturally only happy. And when Lu Qianyu came over in a hurry, she was also very happy to see that Lu Qingrong hadn't left yet.

And Lu Qingrong's next appearance made Yin Pingru stunned again.

Originally, Yin Pingru thought that this table of dishes was enough for the three of them to eat, but she didn't expect to be wiped out by the two sisters like a whirlwind.

Lu Qianyu is so ordinary, when did Lu Qingrong become like this? Yin Pingru wondered to herself.

"Don't you have enough to eat in the Hou Mansion?" Lu Qianyu still spoke amazingly.

Lu Qingrong still had the last bite of food in his mouth, but he didn't speak, but just put on an exaggerated and pitiful expression, and nodded with a melancholy face, which made Yin Pingru laugh for a while.

Lu Qianyu didn't smile, but pointed at her and asked confidently: "Then why are you still fat!" ”

"Poof." Lu Qingrong couldn't care about her image anymore, and most of her mouthful of rice was squirted out by her, and she couldn't stop coughing when she remembered the conversation in the Wisteria Pavilion just now.

This time, Yin Pingru didn't quite understand, if Lu Qingrong grew taller, it was a little, where did he start when he got fat?

But she didn't dig deeper, just because she felt that her daughter had become more cheerful after she got married.

Speaking of which, starting from Lu Fangyu and then to Lu Qingrong, they all became more lively after getting married, and Yin Pingru couldn't help but review herself, did she criticize them too harshly at home on weekdays......

Although she knew that Lu Qingrong was joking, Yin Pingru still helped her bring a small half cart of food when she left the house.

And when Lu Qingrong was fighting Jiang Xuan in front of the door, he found out that Jiang Xuan also got a lot of food from Lu Yiduo, and he just happened to get together with her.

"It turns out that the two elders like to give food!" Jiang Xuan said with heartfelt emotion.

Lu Qingrong didn't think so, what she wondered in her heart was, did you eat the same way as me in the study just now......

When the two of them got into the carriage, this bump started, Lu Qingrong suddenly felt that his stomach was a little upside down, and when he looked at Jiang Xuan again, he really had a not very comfortable expression.

The two tacitly distracted themselves by chatting.

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to go back so late today?" Lu Qingrong opened his mouth first.

"With me along, it's fine." Jiang Xuan didn't think so at all, "It's just that I went back and rested early, and I have to go out tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." ”

"Where are you going tomorrow?"

"Zhenbei General's Mansion." R1152
