It was almost evening, and the heat that had lasted for a day finally subsided for a while.

Lu Mengjian began to prepare her dinner with Youyou, although she was in the Huo Mansion, she and Youyou had been eating in the small kitchen in her courtyard, not because of her picky taste, but in the big kitchen, and there was no example of the two of them.

When Lin Daimo was in the house, almost all three meals were solved in the courtyard, and Lu Mengjian was also happy and convenient, but now that he has no support, and Qin Luofu frequently comes to make trouble, Lu Mengjian doesn't want to look at people's faces.

was busy in the kitchen, and Mingyan suddenly came to report that Chef Zhang from the big kitchen had come to deliver the meal in person.

When Lu Mengjian went to the big kitchen to receive the meal, it was this cook who squeezed Lu Mengjian so much that she never went to get the meal again, but in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, she was arrogant at the beginning, after all, because of General Huo's words, she was worried for an afternoon.

"Third Miss, this is your dinner, I don't know what you like to eat, so I picked a few of the freshest things in our kitchen and sent them over, and I don't know if it suits your taste. What do you want to eat in the future, just send someone to tell me, Miss San, you ......" Chef Zhang looked at Lu Mengjian's face uneasily, and saw that she still looked like she was smiling, and gradually panicked.

"Third Miss, what happened in the past, I was confused, you have a lot, in the future, I will choose the best ingredients for your dishes, you ......"

"Auntie," Lu Mengjian took a cursory glance at a few 'fine' dishes on the dining table, and interrupted Chef Zhang's words, "Thank you for your dishes, I'm very satisfied, but here is just the two of us eating, these are too much, and the small kitchen here is actually 'very' convenient." ”

Lu Mengjian's words made Chef Zhang break out in a cold sweat when she heard it, "Third Miss, please give the slave a chance, and besides, you cook yourself, it's not like a word!" ”

"If you don't want to be a mother, you can introduce me to someone you can trust, you just need to come over and help me prepare the ingredients every day." Lu Mengjian saw that Chef Zhang insisted, so she also stepped down the steps, but secretly remembered this person in her heart, although she was powerful, she was able to bend and stretch, but she was a little bold.

"Third Miss, what do you think of this girl? Her name is 'Chun' Peach, she is honest and honest, and she is quick to do things," Chef Zhang listened, and hurriedly pushed the 'girl' child who had been bowing her head and silent behind her in front of Lu Mengjian.

Lu Mengjian didn't move, and glanced at the 'spring' peach, this 'girl' child was born with a simple and honest appearance, the corners of her eyes drooped down, her lips looked swollen at first glance, and her two hands kept 'rubbing' the corners of her clothes, very cramped and uneasy.

"Thank you, auntie, I happen to be short of manpower here, and when the manager releases people here another day, I will mention it to the manager." Lu Mengjian responded with a smile, and Chef Zhang seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, respectfully thanked Lu Mengjian, and then took everyone back to the big kitchen.

Lu Mengjian looked at a large table of dishes with all her thoughts, but she didn't expect that the name of the third lady would bring so many benefits to herself, but this is just the beginning, and she doesn't know how many things are waiting for her in the future.

At the behest of Huo Shuangcheng, Lu Mengjian met her titular godfather for the first time - Huo Shuangjiang.

Huo Shuangjiang is Huo Shuangcheng's half-brother, although the two are not much different, but their 'sexual' personalities are very different. Huo Shuangjiang has been good at writing since he was a child, and he is charming and literate, so he stayed in the study for most of his life, and was appointed as the prince and the prince.

Although Huo Shuangjiang's life can be called peerless, he has no concubines in his life, and he has two 'daughters' and a son under his knees, but he also enjoys all the blessings.

"You are Lu Mengjian?" Huo Shuangjiang slowly finished tasting the cup of tea in front of him, looked at Lu Mengjian who was standing under the hall, and seemed to see through Lu Mengjian at a glance, and pointed to the chair opposite with his hand, "Sit down." ”

Lu Mengjian walked over and sat down, his waist 'straight'. For the godfather, modern people give too many meanings, which makes Lu Mengjian a little frightened.

"On the day of Kang'er's wedding, you were also there," Huo Shuangjiang seemed to ask, and Lu Mengjian nodded.

"You and Kang'er, do you really love each other as he said?"

This question was too tricky, Lu Mengjian didn't know how to answer, so he had to nod and look at him quietly.

"Since you love each other like that, how can Kang'er be separated from you?"

Lu Mengjian looked at Huo Shuangjiang with wide eyes, the first time they met, they didn't say a polite word, but threw three questions, and they asked so harshly.

"Hehe, does that make you sad to ask?" Huo Shuangjiang chuckled, picked up the clay pot on the coffee table in front of him and slowly ordered tea, and the technique was very visible.

Lu Mengjian didn't say a word, just quietly watched him order tea, and the thick black tea powder rolled with the water, just like Lu Mengjian's mood at the moment, seven up and eight down.

"Taste it." Huo Shuangjiang put a cup of tea in front of Lu Mengjian, as warm as a gentleman.

Lu Mengjian took a sip, it was very bitter, she grinned.

"Child, does this tea taste like your mood right now?" Huo Shuangjiang looked at Lu Mengjian's eyes gently, and Lu Mengjian seemed to see his father sitting opposite, teaching earnestly.

"Well," Lu Mengjian nodded, since she learned the news of Lin Daimo's marriage, there has not been a day in her heart that is not sour, and now that she has become Lin Daimo's next cousin, the sourness in her heart has become pain, although she deliberately ignores it, but no matter how she hides it, that bitterness can never be dissipated.

"Child, I have a deep understanding of your current situation, so when my eldest brother came to ask me for help, I agreed without hesitation, not only for you and Kang'er, but also for the guilt in my heart." Huo Shuangjiang sighed lightly after speaking, but when he saw Lu Mengjian's eyes that were still suspicious, he couldn't help but smile.

"Are you wondering why I ask those three questions as soon as we meet?"

Lu Mengjian nodded again, since she came here, all she could do was nod.

"The first time I saw you at Kang'er's wedding, at that time you were actually not clear about your purpose, although you looked at Kang'er, but you didn't have the slightest intention to snatch Kang'er back, even if you stayed later, but you still have a grudge in your heart about Kang'er marrying a wife, so in the end, you still left."

Lu Mengjian looked at Huo Shuangjiang in surprise, he seemed to know everything, even her 'confused' clearly.

"You're coming back this time because of Kang'er, although you may not admit it. Before my eldest brother went to ask you to come back, he asked me, and he said what would happen if you refused to stay? Hehe, in fact, what kind of problem is this, if you can't stay, it's just that fate is not enough, if there is fate, no matter how many ups and downs you experience, the two will still be together after all. Now between you and Kang'er, although there is one more person, in the relationship, what needs more is tolerance. Of course, I can't interfere with your thoughts, but in the family, the most important thing is that the other party has you in their hearts. ”

Huo Shuangjiang's words are like an empowerment, she has always blamed herself for why she wants to stay, saying that it is absolutely impossible to have no 'selfish' intentions, but she can't forgive him for letting him divorce his wife for his own sake. In this contradictory and tangled psychology, she even wondered what she wanted.

She wanted Lin Daimo to come back to her, and this idea became clearer and clearer after Huo Shuangjiang's words.

"Child, take another sip of the tea in your hand, and try if it is as bitter as Fangcai." Huo Shuangjiang looked at the changes on Lu Mengjian's face with satisfaction, and finally smiled.

The fragrance of tea slowly filled the whole room, Lu Mengjian took a sip, and the bitter tea revealed sweetness.

"It smells so good!" Lu Mengjian was sincerely admired.

"Hehe, this tea is like a person's life, although there will always be suffering, but as long as you are willing to carefully resolve it, to wait attentively, one day, you will harvest this clear and wishful life." After Huo Shuangjiang finished speaking, he saw that Lu Mengjian's eyes were obviously different from when he entered the 'door'.

"How about it, do you feel a loss to recognize me as a godfather?"

"Why, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have understood my mind by now, maybe when he comes back, we really missed it." Lu Mengjian realized that everything before was to pave the way for this, but it was good to have such a godfather, at least he taught people how to touch the truest thoughts in their hearts.

"I'm relieved that you can think like that!" Huo Shuangjiang clapped his hands, and maids with fresh fruits and vegetables walked in outside the room one after another, and after a while, the whole room was placed extremely festive.

Huo Shuangjiang's wife, Murong Yanyan, walked out of the inner room with a happy face, and her smile was extremely kind.

"Madam, congratulations, we have another 'girl'." Huo Shuangjiang smiled and helped Murong Yanyan sit down on the chair.

"Come over and let me take a closer look," Murong Yanyan beckoned Lu Mengjian to walk over to her and looked at it from head to toe with satisfaction.

"Well, that's good." Murong Yanyan took out a 'jade' bracelet from the tray of the maid behind her and put it on Lu Mengjian's wrist.

"Madam, this is too precious," Lu Mengjian resigned.

"Look at you, this kid, it's all now, and you haven't changed your words," Murong Yanyan laughed, she was very good-looking, and she could still see the peerless charm of her youth from her body.

"Dream note, from today onwards, we are a family, this is your godmother, this bracelet is your godmother's gift to you," Huo Shuangjiang walked in front of Murong Yanyan, the two looked at each other and smiled, the sweetness in their eyes seemed to be still in love.

Lu Mengjian's cheeks were hot, she had fantasized about this scene countless times, but when it really appeared in front of her eyes, there was still a strong visual sting.

"Mengjian has seen my godmother," Lu Mengjian bent his knees slightly, his expression respectful and calm.

"This child, I liked it at first sight," Murong Yanyan took Lu Mengjian's hand, Huo Shuangjiang's eyes still stopped on his wife, and when he heard this, he continued: "Well, at first glance, this child looks very much like when you were young, you look well-behaved, but there is a stubbornness in your bones." ”
