Chapter 210: Chrysostom
Tu Shi felt that this was probably the most proud day after he became a man in one fell swoop and gave birth to Lu Xuan. But early in the morning, someone had already sent her a letter, informing her that the whole family would have lunch together at noon today, and then the second room would hand over all the account books, and the old man would re-divide the work.
She had already dressed it, but at this moment, she felt that the light crimson dress on her body was not enough to set off her complexion and temperament. So she ordered someone to take out the newly made apricot-red Luo shirt and iron the incense, but when she put it on, she felt that it was too deliberate, and it was easy for people to see that she was timid.
I discarded it again, and after rummaging in the cage for a long time, I finally chose a half-new light crimson shirt. When she opened the makeup box, she was saddened to find that she didn't have a piece of precious jewelry that could set off an occasion like today.
So she sat down sullenly in front of the photo desk and sighed heavily.
Master Lu San put on a pale cyan robe, and read on the couch with his chest crooked, and when he heard her sigh, he had to ask her cautiously: "What's wrong with you?" He has a very heavy apology for his wife, and this apology comes from having a powerful father and two excellent brothers as a foil, so that he knows that he is useless, first he has low self-esteem, and then after Lu Lu was snatched away, it slowly became apologetic. As I grew older, all kinds of unsatisfactory and powerless, this kind of regret turned into accommodation for my wife and children.
Tu Shi looked back at him dissatisfiedly: "I can't be too shabby today, but I don't even have a decent piece of jewelry." ”
Master Lu San felt as if he was questioning him and torturing him about his incompetence as a husband, so his Zhongqi was naturally a little insufficient, his eyes with bad eyes were slit, and he swept around the makeup box that Tu Shi held up to show him, trying to make his voice appear cheerful: "I look good, golden, full, you are good-looking, just pick two pieces at random." It's about people, not jewelry. Tu felt that he couldn't explain to him clearly, no matter how beautiful a person was, he was just a beggar in a ragged linen dress. So she put the makeup box on the counter.
With this sound, Master Lu San's heart also shook violently. His mouth was dry, and he thought about it for a while, revealing a childlike happy look: "You can wear the pair of treasures that your mother gave you during the Chinese New Year!" And with the jade pendant I gave you back then. ”
It's good that he didn't mention it, but this mention made Tu Shi angry: "Everyone has a good or bad situation!" jade
Pei, after so many years, what else have you sent me? Look at the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, how many of the clothes they wear are routinely issued at home? I can't even compare to Erlang's daughter-in-law! ”
Master Lu San has no ability to parry, he wanted to say that he had actually saved a private house over the years and made jewelry for her, but every time her mother's family was in urgent need of money, she was always the first to take out these things to help the Tu family. Because these things are not on the register, no one will pay attention to them, saying that she subsidizes her mother's family with things given by her mother-in-law. But he knew that at this time, it was best for him not to speak, otherwise Tu would be even more angry. So he simply fell silent.
Tu sat silently for a long time, and said in a low voice: "That's it, what can I expect from you?" The son can't be saved. ”
Master Lu San raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were very bad, and he could only vaguely see a back with unsatisfactory and painful exudations all over his body, he sighed softly, grabbed his beard and pulled it down hard, and pulled off a few whiskers, the burning pain made him feel a little more comfortable in his heart.
Thinking of Lu Mian's reminder, he said in a muffled voice: "I think you still don't have too much hope." Maybe it won't be a entrusted position. You've never been in charge of things, even if they're willing, you're just afraid of not worrying, right? ”
Tu Shi was very unhappy: "It's okay if you don't want to talk to my father-in-law for me, but even you look down on me!" You wish I was as useless as you and looked down upon, right? Master Lu San sighed helplessly, put his beard in the book in his hand, turned the page, and once again immersed himself in the world of the book.
Tu Shi rummaged in the makeup box for a long time, and finally could only follow the advice of Master Lu San, and wore the pair of bronze given to her by Mrs. Lu, and matched the jade pendant given by Master Lu San when he was newly married.
In any case, the bronze is of the highest quality, and the fineness of the jade pendant is also excellent. She applied some rouge to the mirror, trying to make her complexion look better. No one can understand her sadness and sadness.
Lin Jinrong has been with Lu Lu since he woke up that day. The Song family sent someone to deliver a letter saying that the whole family would have lunch together at noon today, and the old lady would be redivided, and she had some trivial matters to settle with the people below, if Lin Jinrong didn't want to go over, there was no need to go.
Lin Jinrong obeyed Song's meaning and replied neatly, she won't go. Then he went to greet Lin Yuzhen with Lu Xuan, and sat in Lin Yuzhen's room for half an hour together, and went to Rongjingju to talk to Mrs. Lu together.
Mrs. Lu was feeding the squirrel that Lu Lun gave her, and she was very happy to see them coming together, took Lin Yuzhen's hand and said good things softly, and warned Lin Jinrong, Lu Mian, and Lu Yun to be filial to Lin Yuzhen.
Lin Yujing knew in his heart that this was paving the way for the old lady to do what he was about to do, and relieved her because she didn't do it. The mood was extremely low, but he could only hold back and agree in a low and earnest manner, so that Mrs. Lu could rest assured. Don't say that she doesn't understand, she actually understands very well that in this family, the only person she can rely on the most is the second elder of the Lu family. A woman without a son cannot straighten her waist.
Lu Mian saw that there was a plate of cherries next to him, so he picked one up and put it on the edge of the cage and sent it to the squirrel, who stared at the black beans vigilantly and did not dare to take them. Lu was persevering, and Mrs. Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where will it eat this thing." Before the words fell, I saw that the squirrel quickly snatched the cherry from Lu Xuan's hand, turned around and ate it behind everyone's back.
Mrs. Lu was rare and happy, and sighed again and again: "Oh, I really know how to eat!" So everyone took cherries to tease the nose squirrel, and this excitement lasted until Tu Shi and Lu San came in.
Tu's complexion is much more energetic today than usual, his eyes are bright, and Master Lu San still looks drowsy and has not woken up. As soon as they entered, everyone stopped laughing and sat back down for their own reasons and considerations.
Tu was keenly aware of the change in atmosphere. She attributed it to the jealousy of Lin Yuzhen's mother and daughter. In the past, she always sat in the corner and just sit, but today she was just unwilling to be like in the past, she cheered up, laughed with Mrs. Lu happily, and showed the joy she had shown many years ago.
Tu with a smiling face is naturally more likable than Tu with a crying face, and Mrs. Lu naturally won't spoil her interest, and praised her very cooperatively. scolded Master Lu San again: "When you are old, you still don't cherish yourself, do you really want to be led by people when you walk in the future?" ”
Master Lu San smiled and looked at Lu Yan worriedly. A hint of gloom flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, and his hand unconsciously tapped lightly on the arm of the chair a few times, pursed his lips, and looked at the elated and unconscious Tu Shi worriedly.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Genro ran in quickly and shouted crisply, "Great-grandmother! Great-grandmother! With this as a prelude, the thriving second room quickly poured in, and the hall of Rongjingju was half full in an instant.
The first thing Song looked at was Tu, and when she saw Tu's energetic and eager look, she smiled happily. Although she was only wearing a half-worn pale cyan shirt today, and she only wore a golden hairpin and two beads on her head, she didn't look lost and sad at all, and she was very calm and natural.
Lu Jianzhong patted Lu Mian's shoulder vigorously, and smiled boldly, and the laughter could startle the bird: "Erlang, it's so good!" The treadmill and seedling horse you got saved at least a quarter of our family's manpower and material resources! He also pointed to Lu Jing and Lu Lun: "I usually say you, don't be unconvinced, you should learn from your second brother, and you can read good books, gain fame, do these practical things, and have a benevolent heart." ”
A faint flush appeared on Lu Mian's face, and he bowed humbly: "The second uncle praised it falsely, but the nephew really didn't dare to do it." When it comes to practice, I am far from being able to compare with my eldest brother, and I should study hard with my eldest brother. ”
Lu Shao, who had been holding his youngest son to tease him, heard this, looked up at him and smiled kindly, patted him on the shoulder with one free hand, and said heartily: "Second brother, don't be humble." My brother doesn't have a big future, so there will be more places to rely on you in the future. "Lu Shao is five or six years older than Lu Mian, with a medium build, already with a small beard, looks more like Song, with a round face and big eyes, a little shrewdness in plainness, but a little gentleness in shrewdness. It's easy to let go of a defensive.
"They are all good sons of my Lu family, as long as you hug them in a pile, why worry that everyone doesn't have a good life?" Old lady Lu strode in with Lu Yi, who was full of awkwardness, and the two mothers-in-law behind him were carrying a heavy rattan box.
Except for the happy and playful Yuan Lang and Hao Lang, and the awkward Lu Yi, everyone's eyes fell on the rattan box, and the contents inside were self-evident, naturally the account books.
So this reunion meal, which took a lot of effort in the kitchen, was tasteless.
In fact, everyone hopes that this meal will not be eaten, just a little bit, but Mrs. Lu's style is like this, and the big thing has to wait until after the meal is over. In his words, even if you are angry, you have to have goods in your stomach to have the strength to be angry.
It was easy to remove the dinner table, and after the elders and children sat down, Mrs. Lu finally opened Chrysostom: "Human relations, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are in charge together, the second daughter-in-law has been in charge of the house for many years, and she is still in charge of the purchase, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law has been in charge of the kitchen for many years, and there has been no mistake, unchanged." The third daughter-in-law, just start, let's start with the needlework room, and the second granddaughter-in-law will go to the treasury."
