[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Chapter 162 Chapter 162 Guining
Guining is the day when the newlyweds return to the door on the third day of their marriage. Although the Lu family no longer has Lu Erniang's elders, they have a pair of children and a righteous daughter. Therefore, Lu Erniang and Song Yuan are also preparing to go back to Lu's house for lunch according to custom.
It was also because of this that Lu Xianger came to the shop with Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao. First, it was to discuss the opening of the winery with Yuan Musheng, and secondly, it was also to go to the street to buy vegetables and prepare for the noon wine banquet. Although there are very few people in the Lu family, they have to be taken seriously, after all, Lu Erniang married into the Guogong Mansion. Because when Lu Xianger and the four of them first arrived at the shop, they bought the vegetables and sent them back to the Lu family. When Lu Xiang'er saw that the sky was almost dark, she proposed to go back and prepare to meet Lu Erniang and Song Yuan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the four of them walked out of the backyard, they heard Wang Gui in front of them say that Lu Hong had come to pick up Lu Xiang'er and a few people. Lu Xiang'er thought of Lu Hong's time of time, and she and Chaoxia could not help but smile with Chaoxia, but Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao were very envious of Lu Hong's sister who loved him so much.
Lu Hong, who was standing at the door of the shop, saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia walking out, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Xiang'er, Sister Chaoxia, someone from the Guogong Mansion has come, and it is said that there will be another hour, and A-Niang and Father will arrive." ”
"Really, let's go back quickly." Lu Xiang'er thought that she would be able to see Lu Erniang soon, so she couldn't care about anything, and immediately got into the carriage. Although it is not the first time that Lu Xianger and Lu Erniang have separated, Lu Xianger has never felt that she will miss her so much. Chaoxia did the same, and followed Lu Xiang'er into the carriage.
Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao glanced at each other, did not get into the car, but prepared to say goodbye and go home. Anyway, today is also the day when Lu Erniang returns to Ning, and they don't want to disturb the family reunion. Lu Hong seemed to know what the two were thinking, so he smiled and said, "Qingqing, little lady Wen, you are not outsiders, so let's go together." Ah Niang and her father are both people who like to be lively, and they don't care so much. ”
Huo Qingqing, who was very familiar with the Lu family, really didn't want to go back to the General's Mansion, and when she heard Lu Hong say this, she wanted to get into the carriage. But thinking that there was Wen Yao beside her, Huo Qingqing couldn't leave her and just left, so he didn't raise his feet but waited for her opinion.
Wen Yao looked at Lu Hong's clear gaze, his face flushed slightly, and he said softly: "Then Wen Yao will thank Gongzi Lu for the invitation." ”
With that, Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing also got into the carriage. Lu Hong smiled, sat next to Xiao Wu, and let Xiao Wu drive the carriage towards home. Speaking of which, Wen Yao also wants to call Song Yuan his cousin, and he is not an outsider like Lu Hong said. Moreover, Lu Hong also has a good impression of Wen Yao, which can be regarded as helping Lu Xianger make more friends.
Back at the Lu family, Lu Erniang and Chaoxia took on the responsibility of the hostess, one went to the kitchen to see what they were cooking, and the other took the new little girl Huan Xiaocui to simply clean the spotless living room again. Lu Hong and Xiao Wu are responsible for cleaning up the yard, and by the way, Lu Erniang, who is ready to arrive home at any time. As for Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, because they were 'guests', they only let the two of them rest and chat.
When Wen Yao was at home, there were many people in the house, and she never had to do anything. Even when a distinguished guest came, she only changed into a dress and waited in her boudoir. Like the Lu family, the three young masters of Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong and Chaoxia are also busy, and Wen Yao is still seeing it for the first time, which is very novel. At the same time, Huo Qingqing also talked to her about the days when she lived in the Lu family in Jiangling Mansion. Wen Yao was full of interest when she heard this, and it wasn't until she heard that Lu Erniang and Song Yuan had arrived that she got up a little reluctantly.
When Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao came to the gate, Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er and sisters, and Chaoxia were already standing here, looking at a luxurious carriage in the distance. The faces of the three of them were filled with joy, and Lu Xianger was tiptoeing, very cute.
This time, Song Yuan did not sit in the carriage. He rode a high-headed horse of jujube color, dressed in an off-white robe, and had a hood on his head. It may be that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and looking at Song Yuan from afar, you can feel that he seems to be much younger, and his whole body still exudes the charm of a mature man. Behind Song Yuan was his luxurious carriage. Thinking about it, Lu Erniang sat inside.
As the carriage got closer and closer, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong couldn't wait any longer, and took a few steps forward. When Song Yuan dismounted, the two immediately saluted him, calling him 'father', and then looked behind the curtain of the carriage. Song Yuan was called by Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, and they were a little happy to close their mouths, so they didn't delay time, and lifted the curtain of the carriage in a few steps.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, who were thinking about 'Ah Niang' in their hearts, saw the curtain lifted, and looked at the woman inside with good eyes. When Lu Erniang got out of the carriage, Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, who were a little stunned, confirmed that the person in front of them was Lu Erniang, the mother of the two.
I haven't seen each other for two days, and Lu Erniang seems to have changed into a different person. Wide-sleeved cross-collared skirt, with a half-arm placket on the outside, this gorgeous costume shows that Lu Erniang is very young, giving people the feeling of a girl in her twenties. And her hair bun is a popular cloud bun for the noblewomen of the upper class, and the golden step shakes Lu Erniang with a full of luxury.
And what makes Lu Xianger care the most is that after some dressing up, Lu Erniang actually has seven points of imagination with Lu Xianger. It can be imagined how attractive Lu Xiang'er, who is more beautiful than Lu Erniang, should be at Lu Erniang's age.
I have to say that Lu Erniang at this time and Lu Erniang three days ago can be described as two people. It's no wonder that Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er were stunned, not to mention Chaoxia, Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao. Seeing the expressions of several people, Song Yuan was very proud, and the look on his face was very proud.
Lu Erniang was a little embarrassed, and slowly walked in front of Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, and said angrily: "Brother Hong, Xiang'er, you don't speak when you see A-Niang, if A-Niang is not there, the two of you don't know how to count etiquette." ”
"Ah, Ah Niang." Lu Hong stammered a little, not knowing what to say. It was Lu Xiang'er who came back to her senses faster, she kicked Lu Hong in secret, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Xiang'er almost doesn't recognize you at all." Now Xiang'er said that A-Niang is only twenty years old, and others will believe it. ”
"You, you will use clever words to please A-Niang." Lu Erniang nodded Lu Xiang'er's forehead, then took her hand and looked at Chaoxia behind, Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao.
Seeing this, the three of them also came forward to greet Song Yuan and Lu Erniang. Song Yuan saw that Wen Yao was actually a little surprised, so he smiled and said, "Why didn't Yao'er go to Wenhua Academy, didn't there be a party today." You used to love going there. ”
"Back to her cousin, Yao'er thinks that getting together with her cousin and cousin's aunt is much more important than going to that party." Wen Yao's expression was serious, and she said flattering words, and her tone made people feel as if she was stating the classics. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia looked at her in surprise as if they were meeting Wen Yao for the first time.
Song Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiang'er, Chaoxia, this time I really know Yao'er." Although she is called a 'talented girl' by outsiders, few people know her true character. However, this is somewhat the same as Lu Xiang'er, Erniang, you say yes. ”
Lu Erniang looked at Wen Yao, whose eyes were rolling wildly under the gaze of several people, and also remembered Lu Xiang'er, and nodded with a chuckle: "No wonder Yao'er will intersect with Xiang'er, maybe that's the reason." ”
"Erniang can see it clearly." Song Yuan smiled at Wen Yao and Lu Xiang'er, and entered the gate of the Lu family with Lu Erniang.
Huo Qingqing hurriedly came to Wen Yao's side, looked at Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, and said with a low smile: "Sister Yao'er, don't you pretend to be a 'talented girl'?" ”
"Qingqing, I never said that I was a 'talented girl'. It's just that in the face of those inconsistencies, I can only be a 'talented girl'. Wen Yao pursed her lips and raised her head just to say something more to Lu Xiang'er. found that Lu Hong also stared at her a few times, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but forgot what to say.
Lu Hong also seemed to feel that he was rude, and immediately withdrew his gaze, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Song Yuan. Lu Xiang'er originally heard what Wen Yao said, and thought of the expression on her face when she stood by the still water lake and looked at the painting boat when she saw her for the first time. Come to think of it, Wen Yao is also because of her identity or boredom, so she can't associate with people who are 'different from what she says on the outside'.
The arrival of Song Yuan and Lu Erniang made Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia very happy. Several people sat in the living room and chatted until noon without feeling tired. And seeing the gifts that Song Yuan carefully prepared for the three of them, Lu Xianger and the three of them were even more happy that their aunt finally had someone who was so good to her. At the same time, when Lu Xianger and Lu Hong called Song Yuan 'father', they also became more sincere.
Seeing such a harmonious scene, the only bit of worry in Lu Erniang's heart slowly dissipated. Since Lu Erniang married into the Guogong Mansion, what she was most worried about was that Lu Hong and Lu Xianger would be unhappy. Anyway, Lu Erniang is also 'remarried', Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er are so old, they will definitely hear gossip. As long as the brother and sister are not affected, Lu Erniang's heart will be more steady.
Soon, a table of food and wine will be prepared, and the family will sit around the table. Huo Qingqing was very strange when she saw that her brother didn't come on such a day: "Uncle, why didn't my brother come, I told him when I came out in the morning." ”
"Oh, Qingqing didn't ask, I forgot to say it." Song Yuan smiled, glanced at Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er, and Chaoxia, and continued: "There is a word from the palace, Concubine Xiang is going to the Guogong Mansion to visit the old prince today, and Qingsong has gone to the palace. Wait a while, after lunch, Erniang and I have to go back. ”
After Song Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er apologetically, and Lu Erniang's expression was also a little gloomy. Lu Hong looked at Lu Xiang'er and immediately smiled: "Father, A-Niang, you don't have to be like this, I, Xiang'er and Sister Chaoxia are not still in Jiangling Mansion, we will go to Guogong Mansion to see you when we have nothing to do." ”
Hearing Lu Hong say this, Song Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was also afraid that the Lu Hong brothers and sisters would be unhappy because of this, so he smiled and said: "Actually, I don't need to tell the concubine Niangniang later, today is just to meet the family and juniors, and the old grandfather will let you go to see the mother at night." ”
