At the beginning of the unitary period, less than an hour before sunset, the Lu family's carriage finally drove into the capital from Chaoyangmen.

After an interval of ten years, Lu Qingrong and Lu Fangyu returned to the capital again, and they still had a sense of familiarity.

Ten years ago, when Lu Qingrong followed Yin Pingru and Gu from Jinan to Beijing, she took this road, and she could vaguely find that some shops on both sides of the street were different from before.

Lu Qianyu is different from them, she was only two years old when she left Beijing, and her memory has long been blurred, and she is very curious to look at both sides of the road to see everything new. When the carriage stopped in front of the Lu Mansion, she was stunned for a moment before reacting.

The porter of the Lu Mansion saw the carriage of Lu Yiduo and his party, and hurriedly came out to welcome them into the mansion.

In the letter I brought back before, I said that it would take at least two more days to arrive, but I didn't expect it to come back suddenly, and the Lu Mansion was not prepared.

Lu Yiduo led Yin Pingru and the children, and didn't bother to change clothes, so he went straight to the main courtyard as soon as he got out of the car.

When Mrs. Tai heard the news that "the eldest master is back", she couldn't wait to welcome her to the door of the flower hall.

Lu Qingrong saw the old man in front of him, dressed in an inky blue chrysanthemum pattern placket, a maroon skirt, and his hair pulled into a semi-high bun changed from the original white to all white, and he was already a veritable lady.

Lu Yiduo and Yin Pingru saluted their mother first, and several children also stepped forward and shouted "grandmother", which made Mrs. Tai laugh.

After everyone sat down in the flower hall, Mrs. Tai carefully looked at the children.

When Lu Yiduo went to Beijing on business in recent years, Mrs. Tai had seen him a few times, but these children had not been seen for ten years.

Although the children's appearance has changed a lot after so many years, due to the difference in age, they will not admit their mistakes.

Only Lu Qingrong is only one year younger than Lu Qianyu, but because of her very similar face to Yin Pingru, it is not difficult to recognize.

Looking at Lu Chengjie, who was standing tall and dignified in front of him, and the three slim sisters beside him, Mrs. Tai was happy in her heart, and she couldn't hide a smile on her face.

What made her happiest was the first time she saw Lu Chengxu, who was only three years old.

Everyone said that Lu Chengxu looked like Yin Pingru, but Mrs. Tai always felt that Lu Yiduo's childhood appearance could be seen on that white and tender little face.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly beckoned Lu Chengxu over, hugged him on her lap, and heard him shout "grandmother" in a childish voice again, laughing so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

In the midst of laughter in the house, Lu Yizhong and Geng also rushed over with their two children when they heard the news.

The flower hall suddenly became more lively.

Lu Qingrong raised her eyes and saw that Geng was wearing a lake-colored ten brocade makeup gowns today, an azure eight-panel skirt, and her hair was combed into a fan-shaped bun, which made her face particularly round, but she also saw the traces of time from the corners of her eyes that drooped slightly.

"I haven't seen each other for so many years, and my sister-in-law hasn't changed at all!" Geng said with a smile, his tone was very exaggerated.

Yin Pingru heard this, but smiled silently.

Actually, it's not all a compliment.

Lu Qingrong also felt that it was because he and his mother had been getting along day and night, so he didn't feel that she had changed much. But now that I see Yin Pingru and Geng standing together, I find that it doesn't seem to be exactly like this.

Maybe it's because the Geng family has worked very hard over the years...... And although the Geng family has not been raised over the years, the two concubines in Lu Yizhong's room have never had children, and there are really a lot of things that the Geng family needs to worry about......

Seeing that Yin Pingru didn't speak, Geng continued: "Sister-in-law, you are back, this family matter has a master, and I can finally enjoy my leisure!" ”

After speaking, she still looked at Yin Pingru with a smile on her face.

Yin Pingru really didn't expect that she would be involved in the matter of the family before she said a few words, and she couldn't help but glance at Lu Yiduo in surprise.

"We have been away from home all these years, and we have been taking care of our younger siblings for all these years." Yin Pingru said slowly: "It's just that we may not be able to stay long when we return to Beijing this time, I'm afraid we will have to bother our younger brothers and sisters for a while......"

"Sister-in-law is too polite, since it is my sister-in-law's order, I should do it, how can I say anything troubled!" Geng smiled very sincerely.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What she was waiting for was her mother's words, right?

Although there is a chance that Lu Yiduo will stay in Beijing this time, it has not yet been determined after all, and he is in a hurry to hand over the power of the family at this time, whether it is true or false, it is clear at a glance.

Lu Qingrong was thinking wildly, and Geng's gaze had already turned to her.

"Hey, this is Qingrong, I've already become a big girl, I didn't expect our Lu family to have such a peugeot sister!"

How awkward it sounds!

Lu Qingrong really didn't know what to say, but after all, she was an elder, and she could only force a smile in response.

"The fourth sister doesn't look like the uncle at all!" The red-clothed girl standing beside Geng suddenly said this, which made the already somewhat embarrassing atmosphere even more tense.

Lu Qingrong followed the prestige, the big red embroidered gold stand-up collar placket, the red pleated skirt, and the red gold beads on the bun were really not easy to count...... This outfit, coupled with a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes that are very similar to Geng's, must be Lu Manyu.

As soon as she said this, the room instantly became extremely quiet, and a pin drop could be heard.

Lu Qingrong was not angry at all, and said while laughing: "The third sister and the second uncle are not like each other at all!" ”

After finishing speaking, everyone stared at Lu Manyu and Lu Yizhong. Even Lu Chengxi, who had been silent beside Lu Manyu, glanced at his sister and father with some curiosity.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong was so unhurried and impatient at such a young age, Mrs. Tai was also very relieved, and hurriedly helped divert the topic, asked about Lu Yiduo's affairs in Wuchang, and told the maid to hurry up and set the meal.

The lively atmosphere in the room was restored, and it continued until the end of dinner.

After dinner, Lu Yizhong followed Lu Yiduo to the study in the east courtyard.

Geng and the children also resigned from Mrs. Tai and returned to the East and West Courtyards.

In the east room of the main house, Mrs. Tai left Yin Pingru alone to speak.

"You have been out all these years, and now that the children have grown up, have the family affairs of Brother Jie and Sister Fang been settled?"

Mrs. Tai is most relieved that Brother Jie and the three of them are still brothers.

Yin Pingru could understand Mrs. Tai's worries, and she didn't take this as a knot.

"What the master means is that Brother Jie is a boy after all, so don't be too anxious, at least you have to wait for a talent to be famous before discussing marriage, and it can be more decent." Yin Pingru paused slightly, and then said: "As for Sister Fang, I have been paying attention to it for a while, and now there are two that look good, but I still want to observe more." ”
