Chapter 59: Waiting
Main Courtyard.
The room was filled with the sweet aroma of snow fungus soup, which was very good.
Lu Tang held a small cup of sweet soup and drank it one by one, only to feel warm in his stomach.
Suddenly, a small cool breeze with rain swept in, and she looked closely, but it turned out to be Lu Wu and the others who came in with the curtain.
"Mother, sister."
Lu Wushi entered the room with an answer, and suddenly smiled at Mrs. Lu and Lu Tang. Cai Wei followed closely with the basket.
"Why did you come here like that?"
Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Wu's hair was dripping, and his clothes were half wet from the collar, so she couldn't help frowning slightly, and blamed his little servant: "Why don't you care about your master, look at this clothes are soaked!" ”
The little guy suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but Lu Wu smiled and said: "It's okay, I accidentally dropped the hat on the road, and I was really too lazy to go back to the yard to get it, so I came over in the rain." ”
Mingzhu and Mingyue, the two big maids who were waiting in the house, hurriedly took a few dry towels and wiped his dripping hair.
Mrs. Lu sat on the chair, glared at Lu Wu with disgust, and said, "Although you are young, you can't act so arbitrarily. If you have a cold, how can you be born? Carefully, I'll go back and tell your aunt to go and let you eat some hanging. ”
Lu Wu's biological mother, Liu, is a down-and-out talented daughter, because of her poor family, she has been doing some small business since elementary school, and when she was a girl, she was famous for her neighbors' spicy and refreshing "spicy beauty". Later, I was fortunate enough to be Lu Yushi's concubine, and I was pressed by the mother of a famous family, so I was much gentler and more submissive, but compared with another concubine, Aunt Zhang, I was still twelve-point.
The Lu family's concubines were all raised by their respective aunts, so Lu Wu was a little afraid of his biological mother, Aunt Liu, who really dared to whip him with bamboo branches behind his back.
Therefore, Lu Wuyi listened to Mrs. Lu's words, and put on a pitiful look on his face, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Good mother, my son knows that he is wrong." If I tell my aunt, I will inevitably be scolded by her ears. ”
Mrs. Lu was immediately amused, waved her hand and said, "That's it, it just so happens that I still have a few sets of Zhen'er's homely clothes here, you can go to the side room next to you to change." ”
When Lu Wu heard this, he went out of the house with a bowed head, and Mingyue went to find a half-worn azure dark cloud pattern coat worn by the sixth young master Lu Zhen, and followed Lu Wu to the side room to wait for a change of clothes.
Cai Wei, who came in with Lu Wu over there, saw that the fifth young master and Mrs. Lu were talking lively, so she took a look at her young lady, but saw that she was sitting on the side holding sweet soup and eating happily, so she walked towards her with the basket in her arms.
"Miss, the slave maid will change your shoes."
Cai Wei said as she half-squatted down.
Lu Tang took the sweet soup in his mouth, nodded with a smile, and cooperated to lift his feet.
I saw that Lu Tang was wearing a pair of red satin begonia pattern soft-soled shoes worn by Mrs. Lu in her early years, and I don't know which box the pearl came out of.
Cai Wei gently withdrew the soft-soled shoes, took out the pair of white brocade dark pattern foot clothes from the basket and changed them for her, and put on the thick-soled milk cigarette satin beaded embroidered shoes one by one.
Seeing that he had changed his shoes, Lu Tang hurriedly swallowed the last bite of sweet soup, put the small bowl in his hand on the table and stood up, stepped on the ground under his feet, and turned around again.
"This must be the shoes that Pu Jia picked out, you stupid girl wouldn't have thought of wearing thick soles on a rainy day."
Lu Tang looked at the shoes on his feet, he was very satisfied, and turned his head to the side to promote the narrow road.
Seeing this, Cai Wei stuck out her tongue and laughed a little embarrassed.
The master and servant were talking lively, and Lu Wu also changed his clothes and came in with Mingyue.
Lu Wu is about the same size as Lu Liu, so his clothes fit very well, Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Wu of the same age, and couldn't help but think of her own youngest son who was still alone in prison now, and couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
"Come and sit down."
Mrs. Lu sighed lightly in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Lu Wu, and said softly in her mouth.
Lu Wu sat on the chair and looked at Mrs. Lu with his eyes, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu took the lead in asking.
"Mother, when will the sixth brother come home?"
Lu Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally asked softly.
Mrs. Lu paused, closed her eyes slightly and shook her head.
"I don't know."
Lu Wu was a little ashamed on his face, as if he was uneasy because he poked his mother's scar, and said softly as if he was busy explaining: "It's because the son of Beppu came to me today and asked the sixth brother if he would participate in this year's polo match." ”
"The eldest princess's polo match has also arrived?"
Mrs. Lu couldn't help but look a little stunned, recalling that the scene of taking Lu Tang to the chrysanthemum party last year was still vivid, as if it hadn't been long in the past.
"Well, that's less than a month left."
Lu Tang on the side also came back to his senses and exclaimed in his mouth.
"The sixth brother plays polo well, and the sons in the capital don't want to form a team with the sixth brother, so they came to ask me."
Lu Wu sighed softly.
There was a slight commotion outside the courtyard, and the second-class maid Furong hurriedly opened the curtain and came in.
"Madam, the master is back."
Mrs. Lu hurriedly stood up and took Lu Qi and Lu Tang to greet them.
After a while, he saw Lu Yushi's face tired, and he walked in slowly from the gate of the courtyard, followed by a tall and thin man in his twenties, who bowed slightly and gave him an oil-paper umbrella.
"Sir."
When he walked to the front porch of the house, Mrs. Lu didn't care about the rain, and stepped forward to help Lu Yushi, with a worried look on her face.
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Yushi waved his hand slightly, signaling that he didn't need to help, and Mrs. Lu could only give up, looked at his figure worriedly, and walked into the house half a step slowly.
Lu Qi and Lu Tang also followed closely and entered the house together.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Tang looked tired when he saw Lu Yushi, couldn't help biting his lip, and asked worriedly.
"It's nothing to do for my father, but I'm a little tired."
Lu Yushi heard the worry in his little daughter's soft voice, and couldn't help but reply with a warm expression.
looked at Lu Wu who was standing beside Lu Tang again, and said with a somewhat serious face: "You take your sister back first, I have something to say to your mother." ”
Lu Wu and Lu Tang couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and exited the house together.
"I don't know what my father wants to tell my mother."
Lu Tang and Lu Wu stood under the eaves together, and whispered to him while letting Cai Wei tie his cloak.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the sixth brother."
Lu Wu on the side had already put on his coat and hat, and looked at the impermeable rain curtain in front of him in a daze.
