came out in the morning and went back in the afternoon, Lu Xiang'er and Zao'er had been shopping for a little and a half a day. When the two of them walked to the gate of the Lu family's courtyard with the vegetables, the sun was already setting in the west. Moreover, Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that Song Yuan, who hadn't seen her for a few days, sat opposite Lu Erniang and talked to her, and Xiao Tao stood next to Lu Erniang, pouring tea for the two.

"I didn't expect Mr. Song to come back so soon." Lu Xiang'er handed over all the dishes in her hand to Zao'er and walked into the house quickly. blessed Song Yuan first, and then sat beside Lu Erniang and looked at her. Lu Erniang seemed to feel something, so she turned her head sideways, and the discomfort in her eyes that quickly disappeared made Lu Xiang'er accidentally look at it. Lu Erniang didn't know, so she straightened Lu Xiang'er's hair before turning around.

Song Yuan, who was on the other side, saw this scene, nodded with a little warmth in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said, "I'll be back in the morning, and I'll come to see how the homework I left for you is doing." ”

"Looking at homework?" Lu Xiang'er was stunned at first, but she didn't expect that Song Yuan would actually laugh. In Lu Xianger's impression, he is always calm, even if he laughs, he has never laughed out loud, and there is such a change today, which really makes Lu Xianger not very adaptable.

Song Yuan saw Lu Xiang'er's expression, and also understood that he was a little abrupt, and immediately said: "Xiang'er, didn't you ask me to find a craftsman to make retorts in Jiangling Mansion." I asked an acquaintance, and I really found an old craftsman. This old man's skills are very good, but he is preparing to close the mountain because he is too old. Also, he is very strict-mouthed and is about to return to his hometown in Jiangnan to retire. ”

"Really, thank you so much Mr. Song." When Lu Xiang'er heard the news, she couldn't help the joy in her heart jumping anymore.

However, after Lu Erniang glanced at her with disgust, Lu Xiang'er immediately dressed up to be everyone's lady and sat down slowly. And he also blessed Song Yuan like he had entered the house before. made Song Yuan smile again, Xiao Tao couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly hid. Lu Erniang nodded her daughter's head with a smile and shook her head.

Although Lu Xiang'er sat down and smiled a lot more reservedly, her eyes still kept rolling. After Song Yuan eased up, she said again: "Mr. Song, since you have found someone, then Xiang'er wants to find a day to meet this old craftsman." ”

Song Yuan first looked at Lu Erniang, and then said to Lu Xiang'er: "I have already agreed with that old man, and the day after tomorrow, I will accompany you to discuss with him what you said about what the 'retort' should do." ”

"Oh, then Xiang'er is here, thank you for your trouble." Lu Xiang'er knew in her heart that Song Yuan was the 'middleman', and she must have worked hard to find this craftsman, and she would definitely be very tired. Next, Song Yuan still needed to accompany her, so Lu Xianger got up again and thanked Song Yuan very solemnly.

Song Yuan saw that Lu Xiang'er gave him a big gift, and he couldn't sit still, so he quickly got up and dodged, saying things like blaming Lu Xiang'er for being too polite. After Lu Xiang'er was no longer thanking each other, Song Yuan sat down again. And Lu Erniang saw Song Yuan's attitude, so she got up and said, "That's it, Mr. Song will have a light meal here today, which can be regarded as Xiang'er's 'thank you gift'." ”

"It's so good, I still like to eat the dishes made by Erniang." As soon as Song Yuan finished speaking, he saw Lu Erniang's face slightly red, and he realized that what he said didn't seem to be right, and hurriedly said: "Actually, Xiang'er's craftsmanship is also good, but it's too small." ”

"Mr. Song is right, Xiang'er's craftsmanship is good." Lu Erniang felt Lu Erniang's gaze swirling on her body, so she tried her best to pretend to be her usual appearance, and only walked out of the house to the kitchen with a polite word.

When Lu Erniang left, Lu Xiang'er looked at Song Yuan, and that gaze made him feel a little seen through. And this feeling actually appeared in a girl who was less than ten years old, and Song Yuan's heart was filled with some strange embarrassment. In the end, he really couldn't stand Lu Xiang'er's gaze, so he used the excuse to go around the yard, and then slowly dissipated this mood.

After Song Yuan went out, Lu Xiang'er noticed that there were three extra pieces of cloth on the cabinet in the corner of the room. This is something that Lu Xiang'er didn't have before she went out in the morning. Strangely in her heart, Lu Xiang'er got up and walked over to take a look, only then did she be sure that this cloth was brought by Song Yuan. Because all the silk shops in Qingshi County do not have such good materials.

Touching the smooth satin, Lu Xiang'er raised her foot through the crack in the window, looked at Song Yuan outside, and was slightly stunned. It wasn't until Lu Hong walked into the courtyard and stood opposite Song Yuan that Lu Xiang'er felt that her feet were a little sore, and it seemed that she had been standing for a long time.

After dinner, Song Yuan sat for a while, and only got up when it was dark to leave the Lu family and return to a small courtyard he had bought nearby. Zao'er and Xiao Tao cleaned up everything and boiled a large pot of bath water before returning to the backyard to rest.

Lu Erniang, mother and son, still sat in the room as usual. Lu Erniang began to make a second cotton coat for Lu Xiang'er for the winter, Lu Hong looked at his book, and the excitement in his eyes did not disappear since he returned home. And Lu Xiang'er counted the time of fruit wine, but raised her head to look at Lu Erniang from time to time.

When Lu Erniang felt that Lu Xiang'er's eyes were just about to ask, Lu Hong couldn't help but put the book down first, and said in a very calm tone: "Xiang'er, when I was eating just now, I heard Zao'er say, you went out today?" ”

"Yes, brother. I went out with Zao'er, so I went to a few rice shops to see the price of rice. Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Hong had interrupted Lu Erniang, who wanted to speak, so she lowered her head and looked at the small book on the table, but sighed lightly in her heart.

Lu Hong didn't notice it, and talked about the passage of the counterinsurgency army from Qingshi County today. Judging by the meaning of his words, Lu Hong should have seen the victorious army from a distance. It seemed that he could see this army, and Lu Hong felt very honored and very excited. Moreover, this 'excitement' has not yet subsided.

Lu Xiang'er had something on her mind at this time, and she was not interested in what Lu Hong said at all. Glancing at him, Lu Xiang'er said with some wistfulness: "Brother, you just saw it from a distance, but I am very close." Moreover, if I hadn't found a small alley in the middle of nowhere, I would have almost been squeezed by the onlookers. ”

"What?" Lu Hong's eyes widened, and his voice was high. Lu Erniang was also startled, and pricked her fingers. While putting her fingers in her mouth, Lu Erniang ran to Lu Xiang'er, helped her up, and kept looking up and down. Lu Hong put down the book and circled around Lu Xiang'er, wanting to see if his sister was injured, but he couldn't come forward to check it in person because he was afraid of the difference between men and women.

Lu Xiang'er didn't expect Lu Erniang and Lu Hong to make such a big move, so she hurriedly grabbed Lu Erniang's hands, nodded her head very seriously and said to the mother and son: "A-Niang, brother, I'm really not injured." Because I hid with Zao'er quickly, there was no one nearby at all, so I didn't have anything to do. It's true. ”

After receiving Lu Xiang'er's repeated assurances, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their respective positions. However, after the fear just now, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong both thought that Lu Xiang'er must have been frightened even if she was not hurt, and they both urged her to rest.

Lu Xiang'er, who didn't want to rest so early, couldn't match Lu Erniang's eyes and Lu Hong's persuasion, so she had to pack up the book on her desk and get up. However, when she went to the backyard, Lu Xianger inadvertently 'saw' the three pieces of cloth on the cabinet, and sighed in surprise: "What a beautiful satin." ”

Lu Erniang and Lu Hong both raised their heads to look at the 'beautiful silk' that Lu Xiang'er said, but Lu Xiang'er stood aside and secretly observed Lu Erniang. Sure enough, Lu Erniang's face tightened, then she lowered her head, and Gu Zuo said naturally: "Xiang'er, don't make a fuss." It was Mr. Song who brought it back from Gangneung Mansion, saying that he wanted to make clothes for your two brothers and sisters. ”

"Oh, Mr. Song's person is really good, when he accompanies Lu Xiang'er back from Jiangling Mansion, invite him to the house for a meal, A-Niang." After Lu Hong waited for Lu Erniang to agree, he looked at the book in his hand again. I only glanced at the three pieces of cloth, and I didn't care at all.

Seeing this, Lu Xiang'er had no reason to stay any longer, and continued to raise her feet and walk out of the main house. Back in her room in the backyard, Lu Xiang'er was lying on her bed thinking and feeling that something wasn't right. After several years of life, Lu Xianger can be said to have fully adapted to the ancient life, and also knows a lot of ancient taboos.

Today, Song Yuan brought three pieces of cloth, although it was said that they were made clothes for the Lu Hong brothers and sisters. But Lu Xiang'er can still see that these three different cloths are for three people. Because these three pieces of cloth are clearly distinguished in terms of color and pattern. Lu Hong couldn't see it, but she Lu Xiang'er could see it very clearly, and nine out of ten of the more expensive cloth horses were bought for Lu Erniang. Moreover, this cloth should be the most expensive of the three cloths.

An unmarried man giving a piece of cloth to a divorced woman was not a casual thing in ancient times, and Song Yuan also had the name of 'making clothes for Lu Xiang'er's brothers and sisters'. With such an obvious intention, Lu Xiang'er didn't believe that Lu Erniang couldn't feel it. But what Lu Erniang's intentions are, Lu Xiang'er doesn't know at all.

Lu Erniang is so young, just in her early thirties, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Lu Xianger didn't want to marry Lu Hong, and she also married herself, leaving Lu Erniang to live alone. But whether Song Yuan is Lu Erniang's lover or not, whether Song Yuan's family can tolerate Lu Erniang, a lady who still has children after the reconciliation and separation, Lu Xiang'er doesn't know at all.

"It's okay, it's okay, he's going to accompany me to Gangneung Mansion. Why don't I find out his true heart and his background in between. Lu Xiang'er thought about what kind of background Song Yuan would have and what kind of family he would have, so she slowly fell asleep.
