Chapter 3 East of the City

The clouds all over the sky seemed to be snowing again, and it was biting cold, especially the cold wind, which felt like scraping flesh and bones.

The two carriages in front of the Lu family were one in front of the other, and several mothers-in-law and girls and slaves were waiting silently.

In the carriage at the back, Lu Shuhuai was in a good mood, shrunk into a small one and hid in Sister A's arms, and said to her sister in a trembling voice, "Sister, Shuhuai is so cold, you hug Shuhuai hard." ”

The morning was not very pleasant, Shuhuai stared wetly, begging to have a car with his sister, Liu didn't say anything, smiled meaningfully, and asked Shutan to take good care of his brother, but he agreed happily.

Lu Shutan was also cold, so he put his cool hand into his mouth and sighed, so he went to grab Shuhuai's little hand.

She was startledβ€”through the cotton clothes, Shuhuai's thin arms were very clear.

It's getting colder and colder, how can this kid be dressed so thinly!

Shu Tan complained about his younger brother while picking up the beautiful and luxurious coat he was wearing today.

The cotton robe is black and polished, thin as cicada wings and cold and hard as earth and stone, obviously I don't know how old I was in the cotton clothes, for the tall Shuhuai, this cotton clothes leaked nearly half of an arm.

Touch it carefully, the inside of the cotton robe does not look like silk wool, let alone fox raccoon dog clothes and the like. The quality is coarse and hard, it seems to be hemp, and it looks like the coarse and hard hair of a poultry.

Lu Shutan opened his mouth and was slightly stunned for a moment, and there was an impulse in his heart-

If you ask someone else to raise it, it is better for her to pull and rely on each other in that yard!

But thinking about it is only for a moment, she can't live well herself, where does she have the strength to raise Shuhuai?

Lu Shutan hugged his younger brother fiercely, wanting to pass on all the heat on his body to him.

My sister suddenly exerted force, and Shuhuai hurt a little, but he still liked his sister's arms.

Shuhuai raised his head and looked at Sister A with chilblains on his cheeks, snorted and looked at Sister A, giggled with big bright eyes, and threw himself into Sister A's arms tightly, "Sister, Shuhuai likes you so much!" I don't like Sister Chang Yu, I don't like my mother, I don't like those mothers-in-law, is it okay for Shuhuai to go to the side courtyard with you? ”

The little face was buried in Lu Shutan's arms, and his voice was muffled.

Her brother's words made Lu Shutan's heart even more sullen and uncomfortable, she patted Shuhuai's shoulder, picked up Shuhuai's little face from her arms, and her eyes were soft and stern.

"Shuhuai is a man, he will do great things in the future, how can he follow his sister in that remote courtyard without seeing the wind and sun, and live a tasteless life? Shuhuai wants to make a big tree that can shelter everyone from the wind and the sun like his father and eldest brother, okay? ”

"But except for my sister, no one likes Shuhuai......" When Shuhuai's face was raised again, Lu Shutan's cyan robe was stained with some water stains.

There was a small rustling sound outside.

A mother-in-law wearing a red jacket and a golden hairpin helped the Liu family to come out of the main gate of the Lu Mansion, followed by the three girls of the Lu family, the daughter of the Liu family - Lu Changyu.

Mother-in-law Jin Zhi beckoned to the back, and the group knew it in their hearts, so they got up and set off in the east direction of Wenli County.

When passing by a teahouse at the entrance of the alley, a black-faced woman in a green jacket followed the group, looking calm, and few people noticed.

The black-faced woman walked up to the golden branch and whispered, "My brother is ready, please rest assured!" ”

Granny Jin Zhi's expression remained unchanged, she looked ahead, and nodded slightly, "Be neat, what is there to find Xiangyun!" ”

In the carriage.

"Why did my mother also call Sister Shuhuai to go to the east of the city to meet my father and brother? Didn't her mother dislike her? ”

It was a lovely beauty who spoke, and a moon-white fox fur cloak was draped over the rose-red robe, and the white powder corresponded, making it look more and more pink and jade, soft and charming, Lu Nianyu raised his eyebrows, tilted his head on Liu's shoulder and asked softly.

"That Qin clan is like a scorpion and a snake, and it is vicious! Naturally, I hated her siblings. "The Liu clan seemed to see Qin's slender, as if they had been quenched with poison, and there was a chill in his heart." But Chang Yu, you, are pure and good-natured, and you don't know how to be flexible! I don't know how to teach a person more, you see, I'm afraid that these two people will completely stop in the future! ”

Outside the carriage, it was as if someone was banging and clanging.

The golden branch mother-in-law in the green jacket got her head in, bowed her head slightly to the Liu family, and said, "Madam, the Wang family said that everything is ready. ”

"Okay," Liu Shi showed a hint of joy on his face, "tell her that if things are done well, there will be a heavy reward afterwards!" ”

When the group arrived in the east of the city, it was already noon, there was no wind, and the sky that had been gloomy and snowy for many days was faintly bright, and now it seemed like the sun was coming out, which was really unpredictable.

Lu Shiting and Lu Changyun and their entourage had not yet arrived, and everyone was chatting and waiting at the city gate.

There was a beautiful girl with a raw face in front of her, saying that Chunzhi's mother-in-law had asked Lu Shutan to discuss something.

Lu Shutan's heart was weird, didn't Mother-in-law Chunzhi just say that it was convenient to go?

Why did you suddenly find her something?

It's so serious.

Chunzhi's mother-in-law had something to do, so Lu Shutan naturally had to hurry up, so she asked the girl to help take care of Shuhuai.

As soon as Shu Tan was about to get out of the car, his hand was held by Shu Huai, he opened his big wet eyes, and said obediently and softly: "Sister, come back quickly, I'll wait for you here." The carriage was empty and cold, and Shuhuai didn't like it. ”

Shu Tan nodded at his younger brother and gently pushed his little hand away: "Shu Huai is waiting here obediently, you will come back when you count to ten." ”

Lu Shutan got out of the car and walked forward, and even asked a few servant girls and said that he didn't see Granny Chunzhi, so he turned around and thought about going to the carriage at the back of the line to find the girl and ask where Granny Chunzhi was.

As soon as he turned back and took two steps, suddenly a male voice shouted excitedly: "Master is back!" ”

The mothers-in-law and girls all crowded forward to see their master, and for a while they pushed Lu Shutan backwards.

Everyone was rushing forward, but Lu Shutan was still standing there, stunned.

Her dad is back.

Actually, she didn't feel anything.

The father didn't like her, and when he met her a few times occasionally, she greeted politely and politely, and his face remained the same, and his footsteps did not stop, and he went his own way.

Why did he give birth to her, since he didn't even want her.

There is no expectation and no disappointment, so why does she want to cry now?

Maybe it was blown by the cold wind.

There was a lot of noise in front, and the girls and women next to the carriage rushed over.

Shuhuai put his head out of the curtain and squinted his eyes to look ahead, curious.

"Little master, don't you get out of the car to take a look?" The girl with a raw face asked Shuhuai with a smile.

She pinched Shuhuai's face with a smile, and the child's face was smooth and delicate, soft and comfortable.

Shuhuai thought about it, shook his head, and said seriously: "My sister will be back soon, if I leave, she won't be able to find it." ”

Her hands were cold, and her fingers were rough and hard like a thin callus, unlike the warmth and softness of Sister A, and she felt very uncomfortable with Shuhuai. She threw her head back in resistance, trying to break free of her palm.

Suddenly, a woman in a green jacket came out from the side, with a dark complexion and strong strength, slender eyes, and a high pointed nose.

The woman pointed to the barren forest in the distance with her stubby and cracked fingers, and said to Shuhuai in a slightly dialectical voice, "Your sister and that mother-in-law are waiting for you there, and they called me to call you, saying that they have found something very good." Come down, I'll take you there. ”

When Shuhuai heard that her sister was looking for her, she jumped out of her heart and took a foot, her eyes flashing and flashing.

The girl who was born on the other side of the carriage and the woman looked at him with a smile, and her unclear eyes made Shuhuai feel scared.

He hesitated for a moment and then retracted his feet, his eyes fixed on the black-faced woman, and shook his head.

"I'm still waiting for Sister in the car."
