Chapter 178: Thank You

The next day, Chen Hu entered Beijing, the scene was extremely magnificent and magnificent, Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan walked in front to lead the team, and the emperor and the eldest princess personally waited to greet them, giving Chen Hu enough face.

It stands to reason that Chen Hu should be happy and proud, but at that time, his face was blue, his forehead was sweating profusely, and the whole person was weak as if he fell down as soon as the wind blew.

Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan, who learned the inside story, laughed secretly, but they couldn't show it, they couldn't care about it, Chen Hu didn't know what was going on, and it was not good to attack in front of so many people, so they had to smile and say that they were fine.

He was pretending to be sick, and he drank all the holy water and prescriptions prescribed by the doctor, who knows which one went wrong. If he is held accountable at this time, wouldn't it expose himself for pretending to be sick and deceiving the king? After all kinds of trade-offs, Chen Hu could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Seeing that Chen Hu had a hard time, Wei Xiuyuan was very happy in his heart, and after Lu Li went back, he told the matter word for word.

Speaking of the back, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't sit still at all when he was excited, so he simply stood up and said, "You didn't see it, Chen Hu's expression was blue, purple and white, but it was so funny!" ”

"You be careful, you have to be a father, it's not serious." The corners of Xia Wanrou's mouth curled, and she whispered on the side.

Wei Xiuyuan smiled, immediately sat down beside her, and said with a smile: "I know, I know, but if I want to learn Lu Li's kind of temperament that doesn't say a word for a long time, then I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in this life." ”

As he spoke, Wei Xiuyuan got up and walked to Lu Li's side, patting the other party's shoulder with one hand, "However, Lu Li, if you want to learn a character like mine, I'm afraid it's even more difficult." ”

These words made Xia Wanrou and Xiao Man laugh again and again, Xia Wanrou held her stomach and laughed: "The more you talk, the more you put your face on the face, when did Lu Li say that he wanted to learn from your temperament?" It's really a gold plastering on your face. ”

"Hey, Xia Wanrou, we are husband and wife, a family, why are you still helping outsiders talk now?" Wei Xiuyuan pretended to be angry.

But Xia Wanrou just said seriously: "I'm here to help but not to help relatives." ”

The childlike conversation between the two made everyone present laugh, Lu Li took Xiao Man's hand, gently kneaded it twice, clenched it on his lap, and leaned closer and said softly; "Do you feel more comfortable now?"

Xiao Man chuckled and nodded.

If it weren't for Chen Hu's sudden return to Beijing, Xiao Man would almost forget about the past, but fortunately, now that Lu Li is by her side, Xiao Man feels that there seems to be nothing to be afraid of tricking the little marquis.

The matter of welcoming the little marquis into Beijing ended smoothly, and the emperor, who had never been aware of the truth, was very satisfied, and rewarded Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li with a lot of things.

Seeing that the child's full moon wine was about to start in three days, the Lu Mansion was busy, and Su Qi saw that he couldn't help, and he always felt unhappy in his heart.

The Su family's background is thin, even though it is now supported by Su Xiaoling's husband's family, but they can't come up with decent gifts, and in the past few days, seeing all kinds of precious gifts sent to the Lu Mansion like flowing water, Su Qi has become more and more anxious and embarrassed.

Lu Li has always been delicate, and after sensing his father-in-law's mood, he specially picked a night to carry the wine bottle to the east wing where Su Qi lived.

"Lu Li, why are you here?" Su Qi hurriedly opened the door and said, "It's so late, but what's the matter?" ”

Lu Li shook his head with a smile, then entered the room, put the two jars of soju in his hand on the table, he took out two more wine glasses from his arms, and said while pouring wine: "I have been busy with official business these days, and I have no time to receive you, so I am here to make amends today." ”

As he spoke, he handed the poured wine glass to Su Qi, then raised his glass again, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law toasts you, thank you for coming thousands of miles to participate in the child's full moon wine, thank you for your hard work." ”

After speaking, Lu Li raised his head and drank it all.

"Lu Li, you are... Hey, good! Su Qi was stunned for a moment, and then raised his wine glass, "Then I'll do it too!" ”

Fortunately, the two of them had already had dinner before, otherwise they would have been unable to stand it for a long time if they were so anxious to pour wine with a white face.

Lu Li knew that he was not here to ask Su Qi to drink, so after drinking two glasses of wine, he took the initiative to say: "You can come to participate in the child's full moon wine, Xiaoman and I are already very happy, especially Xiaoman, she has been away from home for nearly a year, and there are no relatives and friends around her, now that you have worked hard to come, she is really happy." ”

"But as a child's grandfather, I can't even give a decent gift, and I feel uncomfortable." As he spoke, Su Qi's eyes were already red.

The Su family is not rich, when Xiaoman married Lu Li, who had not yet revealed his identity, Su Qi didn't feel anything, even though he knew in his heart that his daughter was very good, but in such a small mountain village, this life was like this. Besides, seeing that Lu Li was so good to Xiaoman, his daughter was still very filial to herself, and Su Qi was already very satisfied at that time.

But later, Lu Li's true identity was revealed, and when he learned that his son-in-law turned out to be a general, Su Qi really panicked.

He was afraid that Lu Li would abandon Xiaoman, he was afraid that Xiaoman would be ridiculed by her, and he was even more afraid that he and Xiaoman would be separated for thousands of miles, and it would be difficult for father and daughter to see each other again in their lives.

But now it seems that everything he was worried about has not happened, and the two have become happier and happier, and even have children. Su Qi was happy in his heart, but at the same time, he was ashamed and uneasy about his family's financial constraints, he was afraid that he would not be able to wipe Xiaoman's face because of himself.

"Father-in-law, your worries are superfluous, as long as you are here, Xiaoman will be very happy, what outsiders say, Xiaoman and I don't care." Lu Li stretched out his hand and covered the back of Su Qi's hand, patted it lightly, and comforted: "We are very happy that you can come, don't think about it, it's fun these days." ”

"If you find it boring in this house, it is better to help your child write a few words, frame them and put them in the main hall, that is the best gift."

After all, Su Qi is a literati, and he is also a bit of a backbone, different from ordinary villagers after all, and it is because he thought of this that Lu Li would persuade him like this.

Su Qi nodded again and again when he heard this, "Okay!" Okay, that's it! ”

In the first ten years of his life, he worked hard to study, just hoping to win fame and fame, so that he could change his fate, but after a few decades, Xiaoman was born, he didn't even lift anyone, and the adults and children in the family still had to live, Su Qi had to give up this idea, he should be a farmer to support his family.

But he has always read books, and a few words are considered to be good, and now he can earn some face for Xiaoman with this, and he is very happy.

I don't know if it's because of the wine or because of excitement, Su Qi's cheeks were red and he looked very happy.

"Come, Lu Li, let's have two more drinks!"

Seeing that Su Qi was already a little drunk, Lu Li hurriedly pressed the other party's cup and persuaded: "Father-in-law, it's not early, you rest early, and I'll come to talk to you tomorrow." ”

Su Qi is not a greedy person, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Lu Li took the wine jar back to the kitchen, and the smell of wine on his body was almost gone, then he got up and returned to the bedroom next to the main hall, and waited outside for a while, until the cold air from outside gradually dissipated, and then he gently pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.

There were only two candles left in the bedroom, Xiao Man on the bed was sleeping soundly, Lu Li took off his outer robe, leaving only his middle coat, and then blew out the candle flame and carefully climbed onto the bed.

In the past few days, Lu Li has been busy preparing to welcome Chen Hu into Beijing, and Xiaoman can only have a full moon wine by himself, which is very hard. Now that Chen Hu has entered Beijing, Lu Li can also be more relaxed, but at that time, the size of the full moon wine has been almost prepared, and he can't bear it, so he can't bear to disturb Xiao Man.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong during this period, and three days later, the full moon wine began as scheduled.

Xiao Man only invited friends and Jiang Qiming in the store, and the rest were Lu Li's friends and brothers on the battlefield.

But after all, it is the full moon wine of the grandfather and son of the country, even if Lu Li does not take the initiative to invite, but he can't stand some people who are good at flattering taking the initiative to celebrate, since people came with gifts, Lu Li is not easy to drive people away, so he has to invite people in and tell his subordinates to add a few chairs.

The guests of the banquet arrived one after another, Lu Li, Xiaoman and others were sitting in the main hall, and the mother and nurse took the child out and bathed the child in the large bathtub that had been prepared long ago. Fortunately, the weather has become warmer after the beginning of spring, and this is just a situation, and the child only needs to show his face, and he can't even blow the slightest wind.

After everything was done, Mama was wrapping the child's clothes, and suddenly a small maid came over next to her and whispered: "Grandpa Guo, Chen Hu is here." ”

Xiao Man's face immediately changed, and he said anxiously: "Why is he here?" The full moon wine didn't invite him, and he was at this timeβ€”"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Hu's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Lu Guogong, your mansion is so lively." ”

"Meet the little marquis."

The sound of squirming up sounded outside, and people bowed their hands to greet him, and then the crowd automatically moved out of the way for Chen Hu to walk to the main hall.

Lu Li's face did not change, but his hand was clenched tightly, and he stood with his hands in his hands, "Why is the little marquis here, but he is really a rare guest." ”

Everyone knows that Chen Hu loves women the most in his life, if he is married, he may come to see the bride, but today is a full moon wine, and the protagonist is a child who has just completed the moon, what is he doing here?

"Lu Guogong's children holding a full moon wine, what a lively scene, this marquis naturally wants to come and take a look." As he spoke, the little marquis put away the fan in his hand, picked a random place to sit down, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said, "Lu Guogong helped me so much before, I can't thank you today." ”
