Chapter 2: Sisters
"Big brother, why don't you say anything in advance when you come back today, so that my brother and I can go out of the city to pick you up. If you hadn't asked someone to report it just now, we wouldn't have known that you were back today, so you wouldn't have left this time. As soon as the group came to the door, they saw a man who was very similar to Lu Qing, the Duke of Yasukuni, the man was wearing an indigo silk forging robe, with a bright smile and a few years younger than Lu Qing, and his eyes were full of warmth when he looked at Lu Qing.
"It's just going home, why bother people to be scared, it's not too late to tell you." Lu Qing said calmly. Lu Qing looked at the other two younger brothers, and the two came up to salute. The previous Duke of Yasukuni gave birth to a total of four sons and two daughters, two of which were born to the Duchess of Yasukuni, and the one who just spoke was his brother Lu Zhan, the other two Lu Yue and Lu Peng were concubines, and there was also a concubine's younger sister.
"I've seen my brother." Lu Yue and Lu Peng said.
"My brothers don't have to be polite, and our brothers will get together later." Lu Qing said, although there was still no superfluous expression on his face, he was obviously a little more alienated when talking to the two younger brothers.
"Don't say more, whether my sister-in-law and my little niece are still in the carriage, I don't know if A-Ning's health is better after a few years." Lu Zhan asked with concern.
"It's not because you said that it didn't disturb your brothers." As she spoke, the eldest princess of An Guo lifted the curtain on the carriage.
When the Duke of Yasukuni saw this, he stepped forward to help Princess An Guo get out of the car, and then personally carried his daughter out of the carriage. Seeing that A-Ning's face was a little tired, it was okay, and the Yasukuni Gong was a lot more relieved. A-Ning's body has been weak and sickly since she was a child, and she has been raised in Jiangnan for a few years to get a lot better, and this time she came back to worry about her body.
"How is my sister-in-law?" Lu Zhan saluted and said hello.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." The other two saw that the eldest princess of An Guo also came to salute.
"No need to be polite." The eldest princess of An Guo said softly.
"A-Ning has seen the second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle, and I will say hello to the three elders." Aning said. It stands to reason that although A-Ning's grade is higher than theirs, she is a junior, so it is better to talk about family etiquette at this time.
"A-Ning, I'm so old, although my complexion is a lot better, I'm still too thin." Lu Zhan said with a smile.
When the people in the Yasukuni Mansion who were waiting at the door saw such a scene, they thought that Grandpa Guo still loved the six girls as much as before. It stands to reason that men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, even between father and daughter, but seeing that Grandpa Guo is so spoiled, I think the three girls in the house have never experienced it, even if Grandpa Guo still has no son, but the status of the princess and the county lord in his heart is still unshakable. And a girl in a pink dress in the crowd flashed with jealousy in her eyes.
Just after everyone finished saluting, the girl in pink came to Yasukuni Gong and his party,
"Father, mother, and grandmother are already waiting in Songheju." The girl in pink saluted. Unlike A-Ning's illness, her appearance is more bright and moving, and she can easily attract the attention of others.
It was Lu Yuying, the eldest daughter of the original wife of the Duke of Yasuko, who went to the southeast to clear the sea area, only to take the eldest princess of An and A Ning with him, and the eldest daughter stayed in the palace of the Duke of Yasukuni and was raised by the old lady of the Duke of Yasukuni.
"It's Sister Ying, I haven't seen her for a few years and I've grown into a big girl." Lu Qing looked at his eldest daughter who still had little warmth, and looked a lot stranger, far less close to A-Ning. Even though his face is expressionless, his pity for his daughter can be reflected in his every move.
"A-Ning, I'm your third sister, don't you recognize your sister after not seeing you for a few years." Seeing A-Ning, Lu Yuying came over to say hello cordially, and wanted to pull out her sister's hand to show her closeness.
"My sister is fine, A-Ning still remembers my sister." A-Ning said shyly, and did not refuse Lu Yuying's hand.
"Horse, let's go over and say hello to the old lady." The eldest princess of Anguo said, she didn't react to Lu Yuying from beginning to end, she didn't even have a face. As usual, the stepfamily will not like the children born to the original partner, but everyone will at least make a face. No matter what you do behind the scenes, it will definitely not be picky on the surface. But it is really rare for the eldest princess to be too lazy to do even superficial kung fu beans, which makes people have arrogant capital because of the emperor's own sister.
"A-Ning, let's go with my mother." The eldest princess of Anguo stretched out her hand to A-Ning.
A Ning glanced at Lu Yuying apologetically, then pulled out the hand that was in her hand and put it in the palm of the eldest princess of Anguo, and the group went to the old lady's Songhe Courtyard. Lu Yuying saw the close family of three, she seemed to be the superfluous person, even after so many years, the eldest princess of An Guo still did not forget the events of that year.
When the group disappeared in front of the Yasukuni Mansion, a young man in red came out of his hiding place, his clothes were as red as blood, and large patches of Manzhu Sawa were embroidered on them. This kind of dress on the young man's body does not make people feel the slightest bit of vulgarity, taking advantage of the handsome and abnormal appearance, but there is a little more demonic and ominous.
"Qin Yi, have you seen her?" Rong Li, who had planned to come back in a few days, was still not at ease, so he came over with Qin Yi to hide his whereabouts.
"Your Royal Highness, my subordinates have seen it, although the county lord's face is a little tired, it still looks a lot better than when he left Beijing, it can be seen that the eldest princess of Anguo has taken care of the county lord well in recent years, and His Royal Highness can also feel a lot more at ease." Qin Yi said.
"That's why I kept her in the south for so long, and if it weren't for her body, how could I have endured not seeing her for so long, but fortunately, it wasn't in vain. Originally, it was a pleasure to see that A-Ning was well, but there were always some uninteresting people who came to ruin the fun. When Rong Li spoke, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
"What His Royal Highness said is true, but Miss Lu San is also nominally the daughter of Princess Anguo, and she came out to greet her parents out of filial piety." Qin Yi naturally took off who Rong Li was referring to.
"It's just a little bug, since you did something like that, you should have the courage to take it, and never bow your head. This is as she grows older, she finally realizes the status of the eldest princess of Anguo and wants to come over to fix it, but how can things be as easy as she thinks, if she hadn't harbored evil intentions, how could A-Ning's body be so weak. Even if she puts herself low, her aunt will not forgive her, and depending on her current character, she can't pull down her face to please her aunt, the granddaughter of the Yanping Marquis Mansion is really far behind His Majesty's own sister. Rong Li said disdainfully.
