Chapter 193: The Return Trip
On the way back, Qiao Ruyi and Lu Shun'er sat in a carriage, and Qiao Erliang and Lu Jiao'er were in a carriage. The carriage clattered forward, and Qiao Ruyi and the three of them tossed for most of the day, as if it was late today, they were already a little sleepy.
Lu Shun'er looked at Qiao Ruyi and the three of them beside her, Qiao Ruyi held one in one hand, leaning on Qiao Ruyi's arms and falling asleep, Qiao Ruyi still kept her eyes open, trying to stay awake.
When Lu Shun'er saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said:
Seeing that you are also sleepy, it is better to squint for a while, and I will call you when I get to the place
No, ma'am, I can still be strong-
Qiao Ruyi forced a smile to herself, looked at Qiao Laixing and Qiao Ruxin in her arms, and said:
I'm afraid I'll fall asleep and won't be able to hold the two of them.
Seeing that you are a sensible child, it is better to put your younger brothers and sisters here with me, and I will take care of you for a while. Lu Shun'er said softly again.
Oh, no, this is inconvenient, Qiao Ruyi didn't expect Lu Shun'er to be so kind, and hurriedly said:
Madame is a good intention, but Laixing and Ruxin sleep well next to me, and again, don't stain your clothes-
Lu Shun'er listened to it and didn't insist, after all, they were just meeting for the first time, and it was normal to be distant and polite. Lu Shun'er then asked:
It turns out that these two children are called Xing, Ruxin, then what are you
Madam, my name is Ruyi.
Qiao Ruyi replied, and then thought about the opportunity to talk to Lu Shun'er to get rid of his sleepiness, and this is about to enter the Lu Mansion, you might as well ask this person more about the situation in the Lu Mansion, it is also right.
Qiao Ruyi thought of this, so he asked:
Madame, what do you call it.
I'm your second mother's cousin, if you want, just call me Aunt Lu-
Qiao Ruyi naturally couldn't ask for it, and called Aunt Lu sweetly, this is the cousin from the Lu Mansion that Qiao Erliang talked to her about two days ago, Qiao Ruyi wanted Lu Shun'er to look, and when she saw Lu Shun'er's kind face and gentle temperament, she knew that she was a kind-hearted person.
Lu Shun'er then said:
I also have a daughter, called Sister Yuan, and you will be able to see it after you are in the house for a while.
Lu Shun'er said this, remembering that Sister Chen Yuan and Qiao Ruyi had a conflict, she couldn't help but smile and said:
Our Sister Yuan has a bad temperament, if there is something wrong, Ruyi, you don't want to be like her, we will live together in the future, you and Sister Yuan are about the same age, you should get along well-
Qiao Ru said that when Lu Shun'er mentioned Sister Chen Yuan's name, she still had a little mind in her heart, but she didn't expect Lu Shun'er to be so polite, Qiao Ruyi also hurriedly said:
Aunt Lu, you're right—that thing—
Qiao Ruyi wanted to explain to Lu Shun'er that she and Sister Chen Yuan's holiday, but how to say it, Qiao Ruyi was a little difficult, after all, in her heart, she didn't do anything wrong, but if she said that Sister Chen Yuan was not in front of Lu Shun'er, Lu Shun'er wouldn't be happy to come, Qiao Ruyi was a little entangled, this situation really makes you don't know what to do.
Lu Shun'er seemed to see Qiao Ruyi's thoughts, and hurriedly said:
I know that Sister Yuan has a bad temperament, if I didn't know what was going on before, but now that I have talked to you for a while, I can also see that you are a good boy who understands etiquette, and it must be Sister Yuan who provoked you first, you can rest assured. Wait for me to go home and talk about her
Qiao Ruyi listened, this Lu Shun'er is really a reasonable person, and he didn't blindly protect his children, Qiao Ruyi also hurriedly said:
Aunt Lu, look at what you said, we are just a child's play, where is it worth Aunt Lu to deliberately say Sister Yuan, Aunt Lu still don't talk about Sister Yuan-
But what a good boy -
Lu Shun'er listened, smiled and said to Qiao Ruyi:
My cousin and cousin-in-law are blessed to have such a well-behaved and sensible daughter as you.
Qiao Ruyi listened, smiled shyly, and lowered his head.
In the other carriage, Qiao Erliang and Lu Jiaoer were doing it together, Qiao Erliang was still angry, so he sat alone, sitting far away from Lu Jiaoer, the carriage swayed left and right, Lu Jiaoer sat unstable, and her body swayed with the carriage, Lu Jiaoer deliberately peeked at Qiao Erliang, looking aggrieved.
Qiao Erliang was also a little unbearable when he saw it, and after holding on for a while, he stretched out his hands towards Lu Jiao'er, with a reluctant look, and said:
Sit down-
Seeing this, Lu Jiao'er was happy in her heart, but her face was still not visible, she pretended to be strong, and said: No, I'm fine here.
No, no, no--I'm not happy yet-
Lu Jiaoer saw that Qiao Erliang was about to retract his hand, so she hurriedly sat down beside Qiao Erliang, and muttered:
You're so impatient, you can't even coax people a few more words
Qiao Erliang smiled on his lips, took Lu Jiao'er in his arms with both hands, and said:
I'm still angry, you still asked me to coax you, but this time you begged me to come back, but I didn't come back on my own initiative.
Yes, yes, I begged you to come back, okay.
Lu Jiaoer snuggled in Qiao Erliang's arms and responded happily.
Qiao Erliang said again:
In two days, I'm going out to patrol the shop with Steward Li-
Qiao Erliang has also gone down from time to time to inspect the properties of Lu Mansion over the years, but it is only a few, and Qiao Erliang does not particularly want to go, and Lu Jiaoer sometimes asks Qiao Erliang to inspect at a close distance, but he is reluctant to go from a distance.
When Lu Jiaoer heard Qiao Erliang's words, she said:
Erliang, you don't know, this time Steward Li went to a place far away from our Changning City, it is a remote county, I originally wanted to buy that property, but I also thought that it was the place where our Lu Mansion used to make a fortune, I was afraid that it would be unlucky to buy it, and it was just a business that did not lose money or make money every year, what are you going to do, there is nothing to see, this place is far away, and the weather is cold-
No, what are you afraid of, what are you afraid of, I'm a man, not as delicate as you women-
Qiao Erliang didn't care about these before, he always went if Lu Jiaoer asked him to go, and he didn't go if he didn't let him go, but now that Qiao Ruyi and the three of them are here, Qiao Erliang suddenly felt that he had to contribute more to Lu Mansion and have more status, so that Qiao Ruyi and the three of them could be less bullied in Lu Mansion, with this cognition, Qiao Erliang insisted that he must go this time.
Lu Jiaoer didn't think much about it, after all, she lowered her head just now and found Qiao Erliang back, and this time Qiao Erliang brought up this matter again, and she had to deal with it together.
It's just that Lu Jiao'er couldn't help but instruct:
It's remote over there, and I can't eat anything good if I want to come, so I'll eat with delicious food along the way, and I also bring two sets of cotton clothes, so there's a change of clothes-
Qiao Erliang listened to Lu Jiaoer's words, his heart was moved, he also knew that Lu Jiaoer was good to him, otherwise, how could the relationship between the two have been so harmonious all these years, Qiao Erliang listened while tightly wrapping his hands around Lu Jiaoer's waist, and after Lu Jiaoer finished speaking, Qiao Erliang muttered:
