Chapter 222: Affection
When Lu Li came home at night, it was already late at night, because he was full of alcohol, An Xiabai ordered him to clean himself up before entering the house, and he had no choice but to go to the guest room to toss himself.
"You should be dizzy when you're drunk," An Xiabai came over with hot tea and smiled gently, "I made a pot of herbal tea for my husband, maybe it can relieve some relief." โ
Or his own wife is intimate.
Lu Li's heart warmed, and he was reluctant to let go of An Xiabai's hand.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that his expression was different, An Xiabai thought that he was not feeling well, and hurriedly asked, "Is it dizziness?" โ
"A little, not only dizzy, but also a little weak," Lu Li deliberately pretended to be uncomfortable, "I can't even hold the teacup, madam, feed me." โ
Deceitful!
Obviously, when she held her hand, she had a lot of strength, how could she not even hold a teacup?
An Xiabai was angry, glared at Lu Li, and finally didn't refuse ruthlessly, thinking that there were only the two of them in the room anyway, just feed it.
With a cup of herbal tea in his throat, Lu Li finally felt comfortable.
"No wonder Madame's herbal tea is so famous, and the effect is really good."
In a word, the rest bar was said in the clouds: "Husband, what do you say?" โ
Lu Li told her everything he had seen and heard in the palace today, and when he heard that his herbal tea was praised by the emperor by name, his face showed a proud expression.
"My wife is really good in every aspect, and I'm about to start to be ashamed." Lu Li had a bitter face, sighed and said, "If it continues like this, what if Madam thinks that I don't need to kick me off one day, then I will be very sad." โ
An Xiabai couldn't help but laugh, and his soft fingertips tapped on the tip of his nose: "Husband, if you are really drunk, you will talk nonsense." โ
There is a warm atmosphere around the two of them, and after looking at each other for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be a little emotional.
Just as the tips of their noses were getting closer and closer, and their lips were getting closer, the door of the room was suddenly slammed violently, and the child's voice was heard at the same time.
The two little ancestors are here again.
Lu Li and An Xiabai glanced at each other helplessly, pushed each other away resignedly, got up and walked towards the door.
"Why haven't you slept in the middle of the night?"
An Xiabai opened the door and saw three people standing outside the door, two energetic children, and a sleepy-eyed Zhou.
"I overslept during the afternoon nap today, and the two children couldn't sleep at night," Zhou said helplessly, "They insist on coming to you, and I can't stop them." โ
It is also very hard for her to take care of the children during the day, and it is inevitable that she will be a little powerless when she is older, An Xiabai has no intention of blaming, and even said thoughtfully: "Aunt Zhou, it's okay, children just like to make trouble." It just so happens that my husband is too busy to talk to them during the day, so let's sleep in my room tonight, and you can go back and rest first. โ
An Xiabai's thoughtfulness gave Zhou a heartwarming feeling, and after saying hello to her son and daughter-in-law, she turned around and went back to her room.
An Xiabai and Lu Li each carried a child to the bed.
"I really envy your heartlessness," she hugged Xiao Dong with emotion, and joked with a smile, "I wrote it down for you when I came to toss my father and mother today, and I will slowly settle accounts with you when I grow up in the future." โ
Xiaodong Xiaoxue didn't understand the meaning of her words at all, and when she saw the smile on An Xiabai's face, she only felt that her mother was playing with herself, hugging people left and right.
Seeing this, Lu Li next to him was in a very complicated mood: "You guys hugged my wife alone, so what should I do?" โ
What he never expected was that the voice he deliberately raised didn't even give the children a glance back.
The family status is not guaranteed!
When their family was happy, in another courtyard of the Lu family, the lights in Lu Liuer's room were still flickering.
A piece of drawing paper is spread out on the desk, and the outline of the landscape is outlined in ink on the paper.
Lu Liuer, who was concentrating on creation, couldn't take care of rest until late at night, her eyes seemed to only have transformation, and after leaving the restaurant to relax, she has been practicing painting, day and night, just to get Jia Jia's praise.
Early the next morning, she took the scroll to see Jia Jia, and got her wish.
"Your painting is much better than before," Jia Jia admired, her eyes turning and turning on the scroll, and finally landed on the verse on the side of the scroll, "You wrote this poem yourself?" โ
"Yes," Lu Liu'er lowered her head a little embarrassed, "The poem is what I read from the book, and I feel that the atmosphere expressed in the poem is just related to the painting, so I asked for it." โ
Lu Liu'er said worriedly: "It's okay to write a poem, right?" โ
Jia Jia snorted and said, "Of course it's okay, I even think your poem is very appropriate." โ
The poems can be named and turned into artistic conceptions, and Lu Liuer's calligraphy is good, which adds a bit of talent to the painting.
"Your handwriting is so good." Jia Jia sincerely admired and said, "The words written by ordinary calligraphers may not be as good as your handwriting. โ
Jia Jia's praise fell on Lu Liuer's ears, which made her feel very excited.
At this moment, Jia Jia discovered the blue color under Lu Liuer's eyes: "Why is your face so bad, did you not resist staying up late to paint last night?" โ
Jia Jia knew that Lu Liuer liked to paint, and even stayed up late to create, and she had been specially reminded because of this before, when Lu Liuer's response was to nod, she thought she would correct it, but she didn't expect it to be yang and yin.
"I didn't hold back yesterday, so I went to bed a little late." Lu Liu'er smiled shyly, "It's not a big problem, anyway, I'm still young and can survive." โ
"You can't say that, the body is the capital, no matter what you want to do, you should take care of the body as the first priority."
Jia Jia criticized Lu Liuer's attitude towards life and asked her to go back to rest quickly.
As for the painting, she detained it, and brought it by the way when she went to visit Lu Li's house in the afternoon.
"General Lu, I heard that you are Liu'er's brother, I have a suggestion for you."
Lu Li was not surprised at all that Jia Jia knew about his real relationship with Lu Liuer, after all, he didn't hide this matter in front of people: "If you have something, you just say it." โ
Jia Jia took out Lu Liu'er's painting, pointed to the poem on the painting and said to Lu Li: "I don't think Liu'er is suitable for painting." โ
These days, Lu Liu'er has worked hard to paint, and sometimes even stays up late to light the lamp to paint, but these efforts have not brought her much progress: "Although diligence can make up for clumsiness, but I think talent is still more important, general, look at the poems on the picture scroll, this is written by Liu Er himself, and the style of pen and ink is not necessarily available to ordinary calligraphers, so I would like to suggest that you help her find a calligraphy teacher." โ
Jia Jia is really thinking about Lu Liuer.
Thinking of this, Lu Li's expression softened slightly: "I'll think about it, as for Liu'er's side-"
"Let's tell her slowly," Jia Jia put away the scroll, with some reluctance between her eyebrows, "Liu Er has always been smart, she must be able to understand our feelings, just wait until the study teacher finds it and confess." โ
That's all there is to it.
Lu Li nodded with a complicated expression.
Jia Jia got a satisfactory answer, so she excused herself to leave under the pretext of something, and when she was about to leave, she happened to meet Zhou who was going out.
"It's Miss Jia," Zhou had been to the restaurant several times, and recognized Jia Jia's face, coupled with the relationship between Jia Jia and Lu Liuer, she was naturally impressed, "Are you leaving, don't you stay and sit?" โ
"The general is busy with official business, I'm embarrassed to be too bothered," Jia Jia smiled back at Zhou, "Aunt Zhou, where are you going?" โ
Zhou pointed in a certain direction in the capital: "I want to go out and buy some jewelry for Liu'er." โ
The gentleness inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows and eyes when she spoke made Jia Jia sad and moved.
If my mother was still around, maybe she would be so considerate to herself, right?
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
"I originally wanted Liu Er to go with me to the Beauty Pavilion to choose jewelry, but the child didn't know what was going on today, and he didn't get up until now, he looked very sleepy, and he looked very pitiful, so I couldn't bear to wake her up."
Jia Jia somehow, suddenly had an impulse: "Why don't I go with you?" โ
Zhou was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand again and again: "How embarrassing is this, aren't you busy?" โ
"There's nothing to do today, I'm idle, anyway, it doesn't take too much time to accompany you to the Beauty Pavilion, so you don't have to excuse yourself."
Since she insisted on going with her, Zhou agreed.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the Beauty Pavilion and chose the right style among the many jewelry.
"Do you have a crush?" Zhou turned his head and asked.
Jia Jia shook her head with a smile, her eyes swept through the store, and her face was melancholy: "I'm not suitable for wearing jewelry." โ
Her job is to protect her employer, where does she have the time to work on her appearance?
Zhou Shi made a straight face and criticized her attitude: "You are a young girl, why do you speak so negatively, women should have a love for beauty, especially an unmarried girl like you, you should pay attention to your appearance, otherwise how can you find Ruyi Langjun?" โ
Jia Jia said that there was nothing to look at, so Zhou took action to help pick it.
This pick happened to pick one of the most expensive pieces of jewelry in the store: "I think this hairpin suits you very well, I'll bring it to you." โ
Zhou ignored Jia Jia's excuse and directly inserted the hairpin into her hair.
The proprietress who could look at her face jumped out, praised the hairpin for Jia Jia in a loud voice, and said to Zhou with a smile: "Madam, your vision is really good, this hairpin is just right for your girl, not only lining the complexion, but also exquisite." โ
"We're not-" Jia Jia heard the proprietress say that she was Zhou's daughter, and subconsciously wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhou before she finished speaking, "I also think it's appropriate, just buy this hairpin, as well as the jewelry you just selected, wrap it together." โ
That's a big deal!
The proprietress had a light in her eyes and hurriedly ran away in a row.
Jia Jia was very embarrassed when she saw this: "I will give the money for the hairpin, right?" โ
Zhou glanced at her and said with disgust: "To buy hairpin jewelry for 'daughter', do you still need 'daughter' to pay the bill herself?" โ
Jia Jia's heart was slightly warm, but she didn't dare to let go of her mouth: "But I always feelโ"
"The first time I saw you, I felt that I had a lot of fate with you, and I have always treated you as my own daughter, if you don't accept today's hairpin, you just don't put my affection for you in your eyes!"
