Mama Qi secretly felt sorry for Yinglian in her heart, Yinglian's family background is good, her appearance is also one in a million, and her temperament is good in everything.

If Yinglian's parents were still alive, she would be worthy of Lu Jing, but unfortunately Yinglian's family background was declining, and now that she is in the Lu family, it is really difficult for her to become the wife that Lu Jing is marrying.

Yinglian's expression darkened when she heard this, she naturally knew her situation, so she didn't dare to think about it all along, she just put her love for Lu Jing in her heart and never showed it.

Yinglian thought of the happy times by Lu Jing's side in the past few years, and said with a smile: "As long as I can be by my uncle's side, Yinglian will be satisfied." ”

"If I didn't have an uncle to save me, I don't know where I would be sold now!"

"Life is very good for me now, I don't care what my identity is, as long as I can serve my uncle, even if I am a maid for a lifetime, I am willing."

Mama Qi listened to Yinglian's words, felt even more pity for her, stroked Yinglian's hair and asked, "Do you know what Uncle thinks about you?" ”

Yinglian shook her head, and then said with a firm expression: "No matter what the uncle thinks, anyway, Yinglian has made up her mind to follow the uncle for the rest of her life." ”

Mama Qi looked at Yinglian's resolute expression, and sighed: "Alas, okay, since you have made up your mind, the old body will no longer persuade you, I can see that the uncle really loves you." ”

Yinglian asked in surprise, "Really?" ”

Mama Qi's eyes were full of pity and nodded: "You have sold yourself into the Lu Mansion, and it stands to reason that you should be the maid of the Lu family, but you see that the uncle can treat you as a maid." ”

"Although the uncle said that it has something to do with your background, I think the uncle is very special to you, and your treatment now is not much worse than that of a girl."

Yinglian was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you, Mama." ”

"Thank you for what I do, I see that the uncle will hand over the affairs of his study to you, if you really want to grasp your own happiness, it is better to follow the old body to learn how to help the uncle housekeeper, and you can also account for more weight in the uncle's heart." Mama Qi persuaded.

Now that Yinglian has made up her mind, all she can do is teach Yinglian some more methods, so as to increase Yinglian's weight in Lu Jing's heart.

"Well, how Mama teaches in the future, Yinglian will do it, I will definitely learn the skills well and help the uncle share his worries." Yinglian nodded firmly.

The powerless scene three years ago has always remained in her heart, and she always wants to help Lu Jing solve problems.

Mama Qi listened to Yinglian's words, and became more and more pity for her, then looked at Yinglian, and asked a little nervously: "If you don't dislike it, would you like to be a daughter to the old body?" ”

In order to fulfill his promise, Lu Jing handed over the roster of all the orphaned maids and maids of the Lu family to Mama Qi, as long as those maids and maids agreed, Lu Jing would arrange for them to recognize Mama Qi as their mother.

But Mama Qi is well-informed and has a high vision, and after searching for the Lu family for so long, the only thing she likes is Yinglian.

It's just that she knows that Yinglian has a special status in the Lu family and can't be regarded as a maid, so she plans to ask Yinglian's opinion first, and if Yinglian agrees, she will ask Lu Jing again.

Yinglian was overjoyed, she had always longed for a family by her side, so that she could feel the love of her elders again.

Now after listening to Mama Qi's words, she immediately knelt down and said, "Yinglian is willing." ”

Mama Qi hurriedly helped Yinglian up, and said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll talk to the uncle." ”

Yinglian was also happy: "I'll go with Mama." ”

Later, Mama Qi and Yinglian found Lu Jing and told Lu Jing about it.

Lu Jing looked at the two of them with happy faces and some apprehension, and knew that the two of them had already discussed.

Mama Qi has no children and no daughters, Yinglian was abducted since she was a child, her mother died, her father disappeared, both of them are extremely lacking in family affection, if the two can become mother and daughter, it is also a good thing, presumably they will warm each other with sincerity.

"Since you have decided, when I find someone to calculate a good day, I will preside over the recognition ceremony for you, it just so happens that our family has not had a happy event for a long time, this time I will take advantage of this event to celebrate."

In order to show respect for the two, Lu Jing plans to pick a good day to officially preside over this matter for the two, and also take this opportunity to make the Lu family lively, after all, since Lu Yu's death, the Lu family has been relatively depressed in the past few years, and Lu Jing plans to take advantage of this matter to change the atmosphere in the house.

Mama Qi immediately knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, uncle, for your success." ”

Yinglian also knelt down busily, crying with joy: "Uncle Xie is complete." ”

Lu Jing said to Yinglian: "Silly girl, don't cry, don't help your stepmother up." ”

Yinglian hurriedly helped Mama Qi up, and shouted happily: "Mother! ”

"Hey!" Mama Qi replied, tears flowed out, she didn't expect that she would be able to recognize a daughter in her life.

Lu Jing persuaded: "Mama should be happy, I will ask someone to calculate the date later, and then set up a few tables of banquets in the house to celebrate this matter." ”

"Uncle Xie, the old body is happy!" Mama Qi smiled while wiping her tears.

Lu Jing comforted the two of them a few words, and then sent away Mama Qi and Yinglian, and asked them to recount the mother-daughter relationship alone.

After Lu Jing and the two left, he asked Lu Lian to ask the senior monks in Huai'en Temple to count the days, and set to preside over the mother recognition ceremony for Yinglian two days later.

Originally, Lu Jing was not so superstitious, but since he came to this world, he has begun to follow the local customs in line with the idea that he would rather believe what he has than what he does not.

In the evening, Yinglian came to Lu Jing's study alone, she moved the lotus step lightly, and was about to sit behind Lu Jing as usual.

Lu Jing looked up and saw that it was Yinglian, so he put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, why didn't you accompany Mama Qi?" ”

"My mother went to the girl's place, saying that she wanted to teach the girl how to cherish her body, and I would come to serve the master here."

Yinglian smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked happy, today Mama Qi said a lot of thoughtful words to her, which made her feel her mother's love again.

Lu Jing saw that Yinglian's face was full of happy smiles, and she was really happy for her, but she still asked, "What do you think of yourself?" ”

"My mother loves me very much, and I also want to recognize my mother as my mother." Yinglian said happily.

Now that she has recognized her godmother, she is no longer a lonely person, she remembers what Mama Qi said to her, she knows that Lu Jing really loves her, so she also wants to learn more skills to help Lu Jing.

"It's good that I really feel sorry for you, so I can rest assured!" Lu Jing said with emotion.

"You have suffered a lot since you were a child, and now it is a good thing to have someone who really cares for you, I sometimes have too many things, and my sister is also young, so it is inevitable that there will be times when I can't take care of you over the years."

Ying Lian's eyes were slightly red after hearing this, and she shook her head and said: "Ye has been thoughtful about Ying Lian, since following Ye, Ying Lian is not bitter, as long as she can follow Ye by her side, Ying Lian will be happy." ”

Lu Jing smiled and said: "Don't say stupid things, when I finish dealing with the affairs of Yangzhou, we will go back to Gusu in a few days, and then I will accompany you to worship your mother, and now that you have recognized a mother, you have to let her old man know if it is not, so that she can rest assured under Jiuquan." ”

Yinglian was even more moved after hearing this, knelt down and said: "The master is so good to Yinglian, Yinglian doesn't know how to repay the master's great kindness!" ”

Lu Jing hurriedly got up and helped Yinglian up: "Don't kneel at every turn, and don't say anything to repay or not, after all, you were rescued by me, your father and my second uncle also have a relationship, and I have the obligation to take care of you." ”

"Well, Yinglian remembered!"

Yinglian knew that she would not be able to repay Lu Jing's great kindness to her in this life, so she could only keep everything in her heart and do everything she could for her master.

Lu Jing then said to Yinglian: "You go and rest, now the cold is still there, don't freeze." ”

Yinglian shook her head stubbornly and said, "Yinglian is here to accompany the master." ”

Lu Jing shook his head, then handed a small stove to Yinglian, returned to his seat, and continued to concentrate on reading.

He has been under a lot of pressure in the past few years, shouldering the hope of the rise of the Lu family's big house, he will go to the examination next year, if he can't win next year, he will have to wait for another three years.

Therefore, Lu Jing has no distractions in the past few years, unless something unexpected happens, he studies hard in the study every day, and plans to work hard next year to strive for the title of the gold list and revive the Lu family as soon as possible.

Yinglian hugged the small stove, the warmth in her heart was better than the warmth of her body, she gently walked behind Lu Jing and sat down, quietly watching Lu Jing who was engrossed in it.

For a while, in the study, only the sound of Lu Jing's flipping book came to mind from time to time.

Two days later, Lu Jing set up several banquets at Lu's house, one was to celebrate Yinglian's recognition of Mama Qi as her stepmother, and the other was to let the people in the house relax.

No outsiders were invited to this banquet, and the participants were all servants who had stayed in the Lu family in the past few years, and now after his two favors, the current descendants of the Lu family are all children who have served the Lu family for generations and helpless orphans bought by the Lu family a few years ago.

Those who had a home were all let out by him, and Lu Jing also gave them back, and arranged jobs in the Lu family's village and shop, so as not to let them lose their source of livelihood.

Although the Lu family attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, they treat their subordinates quite leniently, as long as they follow the rules, have no distractions, and work in the Lu family wholeheartedly.

The Lu family will arrange a good home for them, so whether it is the subordinates who are still in the mansion now, or the subordinates who have been released, they are all loyal to the Lu family and grateful to Dade.

In the next few days, Lu Jing did not go to Lin Ruhai again, but studied hard at home.

At the end of February, Lu Jing found that the people sent by Lin Ruhai to Beijing began to return one after another, and more than a dozen unidentified people quietly lived in the Lin Mansion.

Lu Jing guessed that Lin Ruhai should have won the support of Emperor Yuan Yong, so it was not far from the time for Lin Ruhai to make a move.
