Chapter 63: Lu Erniang was a little irritable
The Lu family is still the same as three years ago, and nothing has changed. It's just some commonly used items, which seem a little old. For example, the two courtyard gates. At this time, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were standing under a big tree diagonally opposite the gate, and the two looked in the direction of the Lu family and were talking softly.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia walked into the courtyard just like when they left, ready to be questioned by Lu Erniang. Unexpectedly, there was another familiar scene in the courtyard, which made Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's hearts relax a little, and the two of them also had a time to deal with Xiao Tao properly.
In the courtyard, Lu Erniang sat under the grape trellis, looking coldly at the big wooden box in front of her. Zao'er and Xiao Tao looked at the objects inside with a smile in their eyes, and placed them in front of Lu Erniang in the same way. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia stepped forward a few steps and raised their eyes. Not to mention, although the items in this box are very miscellaneous, each of them is very delicate and looks expensive. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia immediately glanced at each other after reading the objects in the box, and then secretly looked at Lu Erniang.
Lu Erniang also observed the two secretly after discovering that the two had entered the courtyard. At this time, when she saw the eyes of the two, she said angrily: "Look at what, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll go back to the house." ”
After speaking, Lu Erniang got up and walked to her room. And as she passed by the wooden box, she quickly glanced at the objects inside, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. When Lu Erniang walked back to her room quickly, she slowly walked to her bed and sat down, staring blankly at the window, but her left hand was tightly pinching her right sleeve. And after Lu Erniang closed the door, Lu Xiang'er retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at the wooden box and sighed softly.
Chaoxia remembered something, frowned slightly and said, "Xiang'er, the time to send the box this time seems to be different from the past. ”
"Hey, it's different." Hearing Chaoxia say this, Lu Xiang'er seemed to remember something a little suddenly, but she quickly pondered. Seeing this, Chaoxia whispered to Zao'er and Xiao Tao to carry the box into the house and dispose of it as before. Xiao Tao and Zao'er were used to this situation, and they quickly lifted the box and entered the house. And Chaoxia also followed, leaving Lu Xiang'er alone to think about things under the grape trellis.
It is said that after Song Yuan left Qingshi County and returned to Beijing, he would send someone to deliver a wooden box every three months. At the beginning, there were a lot of gadgets in the box, most of which were given to Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong's brothers and sisters. As time went by, there were more and more things for Lu Erniang inside.
A year ago, only one or two gifts would be given to Lu Xiang'er's brothers and sisters in the box. The rest, all of them are for Lu Erniang. Looking at each other, those objects can't tolerate Lu Erniang's 'quibbles'. Like any delicate 'head face', Fanbang's jewelry, gorgeous cotton silk, etc., none of them are suitable for Lu Xiang'er or Lu Hong. Song Yuan hinted so obviously, how could Lu Erniang, an ordinary, detached lady with children, stand it.
Since a year ago, Lu Erniang has put the gifts sent by Song Yuan together in categories and put them away. She was going to find an opportunity to return these pieces to Song Yuan. I didn't expect that today is not three months from the last time the wooden box was delivered, but only more than a month.
"Xiang'er, do you understand what's going on?" Chaoxia saw that Lu Xiang'er had been sitting on the grape trellis for half an hour, so she walked out to ask. Lu Xiang'er had already felt the breath of the morning glow, and she was not awakened, and said softly: "I was thinking, Mr. Song, oh no, I should be called Grandpa Guo now." Grandpa Song is afraid that he can't wait to marry my aunt, so he will suddenly change the time to give gifts. ”
Chaoxia was slightly stunned, and said in disbelief: "Xiang'er, are you sure?" ”
Lu Xiang'er nodded: "I really can't think of any other reason." Moreover, I believe that A-Niang also realized this, so she will sit in the room for half an hour and not come out. ”
Hearing Lu Xiang'er say this, Chaoxia also remembered that when Song Yuan left three years ago, Lu Erniang had sat in her room for so long or longer. The way it is today has never been seen in the past three years.
Looking at Lu Erniang's room, Lu Xiang'er had a trace of worry in her heart and didn't say it to Chaoxia, maybe Chaoxia could feel it. Although Song Yuan has not been to Qingshi County in the past three years, from the things he sent, Lu Xianger felt that Song Yuan was becoming more and more 'domineering'. If he really can't wait, Lu Erniang probably wants to refuse, but he can't refuse.
Lu Xiang'er was not wrong, Lu Erniang, who was sitting in her room, had already grabbed the letter in her hand. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia didn't know that after Lu Erniang sent the wooden box, they felt what Song Yuan's abnormal behavior represented. Therefore, she didn't let Zao'er and Xiao Tao open the wooden box immediately.
Lu Erniang first asked Zao'er and Xiao Tao to send the person who sent the wooden box out of the Lu family, but she herself was the first to open the wooden box. As a result, a letter was placed on the top, with the words 'Lu Erniang personally opened'. This has never happened before, and Lu Erniang has doubts in her heart and an inexplicable irritability.
Back in her room, Lu Erniang was stunned for a while, a little embarrassed to open the letter, but guessed what Song Yuan wrote in the letter to her. However, the more Lu Erniang thought about it, the more confused her brain became, and finally took out the letter in a hurry. Who knows, after reading the content of the letter, Lu Erniang was ashamed and angry, and her heart was even more irritated.
Lu Xiang'er only felt that Song Yuan was becoming more and more 'domineering', but Lu Erniang saw Song Yuan's 'domineering' from the letter. Song Yuan directly stated that after Lu Hongxiang's examination, no matter whether he can enter Beijing to participate in the final palace examination, Song Yuan will personally come to ask for Lu Erniang. Moreover, the entire Jingshi already knew that Song Yuan was going to marry her. If Lu Erniang didn't want Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong to lose face, he Song Yuan didn't care about anything.
"You don't care about anything, but you know I do." Thinking of the last sentence in the letter, Lu Erniang was ashamed, annoyed and angry. And when she whispered this, it could be described as 'gnashing her teeth'.
However, just like Song Yuan said in the letter. If he really let the entire Jingshi know about this, Lu Erniang really didn't dare to bet on Lu Hong's future and Lu Xiang'er's future. The entire Jingshi knows, that is, half of the Great Zhou Dynasty knows, so how will Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er 'go out' in the future. This pair of brothers and sisters, but Lu Erniang's 'reverse scale', she will never allow the brother and sister to be harmed in any way.
To say that before, Lu Erniang still had a good impression of Song Yuan. After he left Qingshi, Lu Erniang felt that she might have a little affection for him. And the arrival of this letter made Lu Erniang feel more hatred.
In fact, between men and women, it is the kind of love and hate that touches each other's hearts the most, so that the other party cannot forget, and then entangled. Song Yuan is now in Lu Erniang's heart, that's what it means. The 'wooden box' every three months made Lu Erniang unable to forget Song Yuan's affection. The last letter deepened Lu Erniang's impression of Song Yuan. If nothing happens, Song Yuan and Lu Erniang may really be involved for a lifetime.
"Auntie, it's time to eat, come out and eat." The gentle knock on the door woke up Lu Erniang in her heart.
Listening to Lu Xiang'er's voice, Lu Erniang was a little ashamed. Lu Xiang'er has been managing everything since she founded Piaoxiang Distillery, and now she is becoming more and more shrewd and capable. Lu Erniang knew very well in her heart, and Lu Xiang'er knew some things. But she didn't say it, she was afraid of A-Niang's face. And Lu Xiang'er also tried every possible way to coax Lu Erniang, wanting her to be happy. To be honest, with such a caring and filial daughter, Lu Erniang is proud. No matter what happens in the end, life has to go on.
Lu Xiang'er outside the door knocked on the door, but she didn't see any movement in the room, and she felt a little strange in her heart. Just as she raised her hand to knock again, the door suddenly opened. Lu Erniang, who seemed to have nothing happening, stood in front of Lu Xiang'er with some smiles: "A-Niang has forgotten the time when she thinks about things." Alright, let's go to dinner. ”
After speaking, Lu Erniang smiled at Lu Xiang'er, and then took Lu Xiang'er's hand and walked towards the main room. And Lu Xiang'er, who was walking next to Lu Erniang, felt that Lu Erniang was a little strange. If it was before, Lu Erniang would not say that she was thinking in the room, but would only say that she was lying down and resting in the room.
Maybe something really happened, Lu Xiang'er glanced at Lu Erniang quickly, and then pretended not to care and asked, "A-Niang, what are you thinking about, you have been thinking about it for so long." ”
"It's nothing, A-Niang is just thinking about how Brother Hong can go to the martial arts test." Lu Erniang replied quickly, which made Lu Xiang'er even more suspicious. But Lu Erniang didn't want to say it, and Lu Xiang'er couldn't ask, so she had to say: "A-Niang, don't be angry with my brother, he really likes to be a 'general'." ”
"Being a 'general', where is it so easy to do 'general'......" Lu Erniang seemed to remember something, so she didn't finish her words. She just snorted, and then turned to say: "The exam will be held the day after tomorrow, let him come back for a good meal." ”
"Really, Auntie. I'll just say, A-Niang definitely won't blame my brother for making his own decisions. When Lu Xiang'er heard that Lu Erniang asked Lu Hong to go home, she happily immediately forgot what had just happened. Even when she was eating, Lu Xiang'er was also full of thoughts, and asked someone to bring a letter to Lu Hong in the afternoon.
Bian Chaoxia, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Lu Xiang'er and then at Lu Erniang, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. Chaoxia didn't know how many times this was the case, Lu Erniang always had a way to make Lu Xiang'er not pay attention to Lu Erniang's own affairs. When Lu Xiang'er remembered it, she didn't know when it was.
At this time, Chaoxia will pretend that she doesn't know anything. Because Lu Xiang'er, who is usually shrewd and capable, will only be confused in front of Lu Erniang, Chaoxia is very happy to see Lu Xiang'er like this.
