Chapter 116: The Night Banquet

The successive Lu family members all lived in Yuci East Street, and the other clansmen lived in the west and north streets, and the Lu family heads who had been passed down from generation to generation all lived in Guangdetang, which was located at the head of Yuci East Street.

Kyoto Jiankang's family is "the upper one, not separated", so the long room and the two rooms live together, but if you go back to Heicheng, only Lu Sui can enter the Guangde Hall, if Lu Xuan has the intention of taking care of the younger brother, Lu Fan can live in the Pingde Hall next to the Guangde Hall. In short, the closer to Guangdetang is the closer to the center of power, and the closer it is to the helm, and when it is passed down from generation to generation, people will live farther and farther away, and Lu Fan's children and grandchildren can only be called side branches of the Lu family.

And Lu Sui's heirs still control the Heisei Lu family.

The soft sedan sedan staggered forward.

The wind blew open the curtain, and watched the lanterns hanging under the eaves change from one to one pair to six holes and then to perfect, and the scene lit up little by little, as if it was moving from darkness to light.

See, that's the allure of power -- even two more lanterns can be hung than in other people's homes.

So, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. There is always only one most lively place, everyone wants the stars to hold the moon, and naturally Lu Fan is no exception.

Changting leaned his head on the soft sedan chair and took a long breath.

The front dragged out a shout, the horse's hooves were mixed and kicked, Manxiu respectfully half lifted the curtain to invite, the long pavilion put on her arm and pulled the skirt out of the sedan chair, and looked up gently, but saw that under the streamer, Lu Fan's wife Chen and his two sons and one daughter stood gently under the steps of Guangde Hall.

It is very far from the main entrance and just off the front line.

Aunt Chen is an extremely gentle woman. Soft temperament, proper family education, and etiquette. Zun Shang Youxia is an extremely orthodox scholar daughter, to be precise, the daughter of an extremely orthodox Guangqing Chen family.

And she and Lu Fan must be exemplary examples in the eyes of outsiders.

Lu Fan has no concubine room, no slaves, no prostitutes, and the first and second rooms are all maids and maids in Chen's house. The three sons and daughters are all descendants, and there are no concubines, which is really rare among the scholars who are defeated outside the golden jade.

It is difficult to find a few Langjun who are only close to women in the Dajin clan - the staff raised by the Wang family next door are all Langjun with red lips and white teeth. I don't know if my brain is enough, anyway, my face must be enough.

After Chen, the two sons of Changping and Changxing both stood on the right side. Chen's eldest daughter, Lu Changqing, looks like twelve or three. Wearing an ivory-colored fine satin coat, embroidered hibiscus on the front, and then a circle of fine beads fell with Shu moire trim, and when the light shined, his face was a little confused, and he could only see a pair of eyes standing behind Chen.

Changting tilted his chin to look at it, pursed his lips when he looked at it, and laughed.

"Mother—"

Chan stepped forward. His eyes were red, and his mouth was crying. "You... You have suffered! ”

The eldest princess of Zhending patted Chen's hand, "The wind is fast at the intersection, so don't stick to this time." ”

Chen nodded, and then took Changting to his side and leaned back, his hand touched Changting's face from top to bottom, his throat was sour, he covered his face with a handkerchief and looked like he was crying, Changting obediently leaned on Chen's side, and sighed in his heart, is Chen good to her? Ask the servants of the Lu family for many years, and no one will say that the Chen family treats her badly.

She didn't have a mother, and the Chen family was entrusted by Lu Sui to take care of her.

She changed her teeth, and Chen helped her carefully preserve them. She came to menarche, and it was the moon belt prepared by Chen. The dirty clothes she wore when she was a child were all embroidered by Chen...

Changting preferred to believe that the Chen clan didn't know what Lu Fan had done.

After the two sides saw the ceremony, they walked in, Lu Fan took care of the horse team first, the female dependents walked in from the middle gate, Chen helped the eldest princess of Zhending to speak, and several girls walked behind.

Lu Changqing didn't squint, "Sister went back more and more, and the maids around her were all careless." One is rough-handed, a little childish, and a..."Changqing squinted at Hu Yuniang, "Five big and three coarse, like a man who does heavy work." ”

Just past the threshold, Changting lowered his skirt and lowered his eyebrows, stepped over neatly, did not look up at her, and opened his mouth calmly.

"Shut up."

After the two words, there was no other word, and he led Changning to walk forward slowly, and he distanced himself from Lu Changqing in a few steps.

She has always been at odds with this Lu Er girl, oh, now it's not the second girl, it's the eldest girl in the second room, she doesn't like Changqing, and Changqing doesn't necessarily like her - they have lived in the same courtyard for more than ten years, they have hardly spoken, they haven't even spoken much, so why quarrel.

Probably the beauties are all proud.

Lu Fan's two sons have mediocre qualifications, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old, and neither of them has yet made a name for themselves -- Lu Changying has already practiced a good hand of handwriting when he was nine years old, and he is already a promising young man in Kyoto.

Only Lu Changqing, the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth are quite similar to Lu Fan, Lu Fan is like a mimic beauty, then Lu Changqing is a real beauty, and when it comes to appearance among the juniors of the Lu family, she is the first in line. Changting pondered in his heart, in terms of facial features alone, I am afraid that only Qingshao can compete with it, but that girl has lost a lot of temperament without arguing...

Changting's mind was empty, and he passed a dinner party in silence.

She had never had such a weird dinner party.

The eldest princess of Zhending is on the table, and the Lu family is all on the side of the clan, and they are going back and forth, but what everyone says is floating, and none of them are implemented.

"Come on, help the third uncle write down everything he said today."

In the noise, I heard a clear male voice.

Lu Fan half reclined on the yellow wood chair, half of his hand on the back of the chair, half of it fell down, he couldn't drink wine for filial piety, the juice in the cup was not intoxicating, but he was drunk, his fingers were raised, and he laughed one by one, "Write it down, take a look at how much the third uncle remembers his brother..."

As he spoke, he leaned forward, his green shirt fell lightly, his eyes squinted slightly, and his tone was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter hissing and warning, "Pain makes humanistic talents fly, and the ancients did not deceive me... After the third uncle drank the wine, his resignation seemed to be more sincere, which was extremely moving. ”

If it is a painful remembrance, why is it a wine and meat skewer?

Mrs. Lu San seemed to be afraid of Lu Fan, leaned back, borrowed wine to get drunk, and closed his eyes silently.

Mourning, mourning, and consolation, one by one, gradually getting smaller, Chen's round greeted and greeted, the scene finally warmed up, after three rounds, one by one, Chen went to send, Changting and Changning accompanied the eldest princess of Zhending, Lu Fan's cheeks flushed and leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and waved his sleeves down, that is, sassy.

"Let's all go back."

Lu Fanyun raised his sleeves, "You still live in Guangde Hall, my name is not right, we can only live together after my dear brother is buried..."

Lu Fan turned his head to Changting and smiled as he spoke, "It's really hard for you to live under the same roof with your uncle." But come to think of it, haven't I lived with my brother for so many decades? I lived, my son followed, my grandson still had to eat with others, I survived, my little Gillian endured it, endured it..."

"Lu Fan!"

The eldest princess waved her sleeves and shouted, "It's a little bit of a show!" You only have the ability to embarrass a little girl!? ”

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed, laughing and laughing, but he knocked over the tin can and wine jug on the banquet, and the fruit wine and sugar were red and shiny, and one drop after another swirled on the edge of the table.

"Mother..."

Lu Fan propped himself on the table and gradually stood up, "My mother! My son just did a very good thing! Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten!? Can't remember? I'll tell you one more thing from beginning to end..."

"Get the kids out!"

The eldest princess of Zhending slapped her palm on the wooden table, "Ah Chen, let the children take them out!" Let Emei take Gillian Aning back to the East Side Courtyard, and the subordinates are not allowed to enter and leave the East Side Courtyard without an order! ”

Lu Fan propped himself on the table with one hand, the corners of his mouth raised, and he looked at it with a smile.

Chen looked around in a panic, said yes again and again, and gathered several children to the door with red eyes, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the eldest princess Zhending, "Ah Chen, you stay!" ”

"Crunch-"

The door closes.

It has been stuffy in the room for a long time, and as soon as it comes out, Changting touched the back of his head, propped his hand on the high pillar of vermilion lacquer, and was out of breath for a long time. Xiao Aning hurriedly stood on tiptoe to help Shun Qi, Yu Niang held back, held the long pavilion, and sighed after thinking for a long time, "Your uncle is so strange, he can't wait to jump now..."

Changting nodded his head.

It's strange, but Changting's strange soldiers are not this--Lu San is not the only one who chases Lu Sui, but Lu Fan only targets him. It's not that he is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, Lu Fan's eyes are really disgusted and hateful, without any cover-up.

Third Master Lu got in the way of Lu Fan?

What's in the way?

Changting pondered carefully, and just wanted to speak, but vaguely there seemed to be a person standing in the corridor, squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, and exclaiming in a low voice, "Why are you here!" ”

Meng Tuo took a step forward, his tone calm, "You be quiet." ”

Changting nodded again and again, the back of his head was a little painful and feverish, and handed Xiao Aning to Yu Niang to take care of, and after looking around, he walked there, "You go back quickly!" The rules of the Lu family are very strict, and the foreign man enters the house for no reason to eat a stick! ”

"Your head?" Meng Tuo's eyes lifted and asked in a deep voice.

Changting touched the scar on the back of his head again, "The weather is warmer, and the wound is quite normal, so I'll drink a cup of medicine at night." He urged again, "If you have something to say, leave quickly if you have nothing to do!" The Lu family's sticks are not so delicious! ”

Meng Tuo let out an "oh", looked down at the long pavilion again, and then leaned over the wall with his robe on his back.

The action is so fast that you don't even have a back.

He... Is it really okay to tell her?

So what did he do by risking the wall into the inner house?

Stealing?

Changting was stunned, inexplicable. (To be continued......)
