Chapter 17: An Unexpected Reaction

Lu Erniang went to Jiangling Mansion, except for the Zhao family, no one in Qinghe Village knew. Therefore, no one knew that Lu Erniang's family earned back a hundred taels of silver in one day, and the Lu family's life in Qinghe Village was still so peaceful. But the Zhao family and the Lu family are getting closer and closer in this calm.

Originally, the three members of the Lu family earned a hundred taels of silver, so they thought that the Zhao family would go further and further away from them. didn't expect the mentality of Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao to be really peaceful. Although the Zhao family and his wife also regretted not listening to Lu Erniang's advice and following them to make toys. But the couple was not jealous, but envied that the Lu family had a Lu Xianger who could make money, but they became closer to the Lu family.

Lu Xiang'er knew that Lu Erniang wanted to repay the Zhao family, so she came up with some small ideas and unintentionally talked about it in front of Lu Erniang or Aunt Zhao. Therefore, Aunt Zhao processed the remaining fur at home into clothes such as cloaks, and also made a small profit.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was August, and it had been more than two months since Lu Xianger came to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Seeing that it is about to be August 15, Qinghe Village is much more lively than usual. And the wine made by Lu Xianger is almost drinkable.

When she was just making wine, Lu Xiang'er almost told Lu Hong about it. But the news that Lu Erniang brought back from the sudden return of Jiangling Mansion made Lu Xiang'er a little overwhelmed, so she left this matter behind. When Lu Xiang'er remembered it again, she couldn't say it again. But as the wine fermented, it slowly exuded the smell of wine, and Lu Xianger became anxious. In particular, Lu Erniang went to the county to purchase some ingredients for the festival to be eaten, and brought her back a carp lantern.

"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you, don't you like this carp lamp?" While Lu Erniang was taking the ingredients to the kitchen, she saw that Lu Xiang'er was in a daze, and she was very strange. But when Lu Erniang found Lu Xiang'er looking at the mountain next to her, she misunderstood that she was worried about Lu Hong, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiang'er, didn't my brother say that he will come back at noon, so don't worry about him." ”

"Auntie, Xiang'er didn't worry about her brother. Xiang'er wanted to say something to A-Niang, but she was afraid that A-Niang would be angry with Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er took the lantern and slowly walked to the kitchen door, looking at the busy Lu Erniang.

Lu Erniang heard that Lu Xiang'er's tone was wrong, so she raised her head to look at her, and then found that Lu Xiang'er's face was very solemn. But Lu Erniang didn't think that Lu Xiang'er could do anything earth-shattering, in her heart, Lu Xiang'er has always been very well-behaved and sensible. Therefore, Lu Erniang didn't take it seriously, and smiled very casually: "No matter what Xiang'er does, A-Niang won't be angry." ”

"Auntie, Xiang'er, Xiang'er has eaten grapes." Lu Xiang'er held the lantern tightly and finally said that sentence.

Lu Erniang, as Lu Xiang'er imagined, immediately straightened up, and her voice was much higher: "What, you have eaten grapes, there are grapes around here?" ”

"A-Niang, you listen to Xiang'er......" Without waiting for Lu Erniang to ask, Lu Xiang'er quickly said how she had eaten grapes. Of course, she was afraid that Lu Erniang wouldn't be able to accept it, but she said that she seemed to have heard Tai say that grapes were edible, so she secretly ate a lot of them when she was picking mushrooms.

"Xiang'er, didn't I say that you can't eat the grapes, and you still eat them. Tell me, what day did you eat, how much did you eat? As soon as Lu Hong entered the courtyard, he heard Lu Xiang'er say that he had eaten grapes, and immediately threw the wooden stick in his hand aside and ran over.

Lu Hong seemed to be very similar to seeing what was wrong with Lu Xiang'er, but he didn't dare to start because he was afraid of the difference between men and women, so he was so anxious that he turned around Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er told Lu Hong that there was nothing wrong with her, and secretly watched Lu Erniang's reaction.

Lu Erniang unexpectedly laughed first, and then shook her head again. In the end, she put down the ingredients in her hand, wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, and picked up Lu Hong's ear with one hand: "What are you yelling, I'm afraid that others won't know." ”

"Oops, it hurts. Auntie, let go, I'm not worried about Xiang'er. A-Niang, otherwise let's take Xiang'er to Jiangling Mansion to find Lang Zhong to have a look. Lu Hong was carried into the house by Lu Erniang, and Lu Xiang'er stood outside stupidly. She guessed a lot of situations, but she never thought that Lu Erniang would react like this, as if she didn't care at all.

"Xiang'er, you're still standing in the courtyard and doing something, and you haven't entered the house yet." Seeing that Lu Xiang'er didn't follow into the house, Lu Erniang immediately shouted, which interrupted Lu Xiang'er's thinking.

After Lu Xiang'er entered the house, she saw Lu Erniang beckoning to her and called her over. hugged Lu Xiang'er, and Lu Erniang asked in Lu Xiang'er's surprise and Lu Hong's shock: "Xiang'er, is the grape you ate sweet?" ”

"A-Niang, you, you also want to eat grapes?" Lu Hong looked at the intention on Lu Erniang's face, rubbed his eyes fiercely, and then continued: "Ah Niang, don't you know that the grape is poisonous?" ”

"What's poison, A-Niang doesn't live well." Lu Erniang opened her mouth despite Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, and her eyes began to drift: "The first time I ate grapes, my sister-in-law forced me to eat them." At that time, my sister-in-law had just married into the Lu family, and I was about to get married......"

Hearing Lu Erniang mention Feng Sanniang, Lu Xiang'er's heart slowly calmed down. This is the first time Lu Xiang'er has heard Lu Erniang mention her biological mother, but Lu Xiang'er, who usually says that she doesn't care, doesn't notice that she is listening very carefully. Moreover, despite Lu Erniang's narration, Lu Xiang'er has already appeared in her heart. Lu Hong remembered the aunt who always pinched his face, bought him all kinds of gadgets, and smiled all day long.

In Lu Erniang's narrative, Feng Sanniang is a cheerful, lively, and chivalrous woman. Lu Tai was able to meet Feng Sanniang, also because he was robbed/robbed by four or five people when he went out, but he was rescued by Feng Sanniang, who was passing by. Feng Sanniang, who married Lu Tai, because of Lu Tai's favor, did not change her temperament and before she got married. When she accidentally heard that grapes were poisonous, she disagreed, and told Lu Erniang, who was about to get married, that the grapes were delicious and not poisonous at all. Of course Lu Erniang didn't believe it, so before she got married, she was forced to eat a lot by Feng Sanniang.

"I didn't expect Xiang'er to be really like a sister-in-law at this point, she is so bold that she dares to eat anything." After Lu Erniang finished recalling, she kissed Lu Xiang'er fiercely on the face. Lu Hong was described by Lu Erniang as the feeling when he ate grapes, and he was puzzled: "That grape is really so delicious, but why do all the people say that it is poisonous and poisons people?" ”

"Because when those people eat grapes, they eat seafood or sulforaphane ......" Lu Xiang'er just said this, and she felt that she had slipped out of her mouth. When she raised her eyes, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong were both looking at her suspiciously. Lu Erniang frowned even more and asked, "Xiang'er, how do you know?" ”

"I, I listened to Daddy." Lu Xiang'er finally found a reason and secretly let out a sigh of relief. How can I say that Lu Tai is no longer alive, Lu Erniang just wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask. If Lu Erniang wants to ask anything again, Lu Xianger can find a reason to fulfill this lie.

Lu Erniang didn't doubt Lu Xiang'er's words at all, and nodded to herself: "Sister-in-law likes to eat grapes, although my brother was scared, he didn't stop it, but visited famous doctors many times when he was out. Come to think of it, my brother must have known this from a famous doctor. ”

When Lu Xiang'er heard Lu Erniang's words, she almost jumped up and kissed Lu Erniang's face. This reason is too good and too acceptable. From now on, no matter who asks Lu Xiang'er, Lu Xiang'er will not be afraid, and this reason can also become an advertisement for her to promote wine.

Yes, and wine. Lu Xiang'er glanced at Lu Erniang, and Lu Hong, who was already about to go up the mountain to pick grapes, before she said softly: "A-Niang, Xiang'er has to tell you one more thing. ”

"Xiang'er, didn't you eat any other fruits that shouldn't be eaten?" Lu Erniang was a little anxious this time, there are a lot of wild fruits on this mountain. If you really eat something that shouldn't be eaten, and something wrong with Lu Xiang'er, what can you do?

Seeing that Lu Erniang was in a hurry, Lu Hong strode over again, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiang'er didn't eat other fruits, Xiang'er just made a jar of wine from the grapes, and it was in the mud house where our family put sundries." ”
