Chapter Sixty-Eight: An Unexpected Visitor
After the meal, the eldest princess rewarded Lu Man with a string of agarwood bracelets, Jiang Zhankui with a green jade carved pen holder, and Jiang Jiu with an amber gourd.
It's already starry when you go out.
Lu Man walked to the fork in the road with Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu, Jiang Zhankui bowed to Lu Chang very solemnly and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." You are a good person, and you are genuinely good to me and my sister. Especially for my younger sister, my third brother didn't think of it so much, but my third sister-in-law thought of it. If my sister becomes like that, it's so terrible, so heartbroken, I don't dare to think deeply......" He sniffed, and there were tears in his eyes, shining like two stars. He bowed again and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong to blame the third sister-in-law before." I also apologize to my third sister-in-law on behalf of my third brother, he doesn't know how good you are. As he spoke, he bowed again and wiped a handful of tears.
This kid can be so grateful, which surprised Lu Man. It's just that he is too precocious, precocious to the point of heartache.
Lu Man hopes that he can be more sunny and cheerful, so that he can be truly happy and not develop an extreme and paranoid character.
Lu Man smiled, "Eighth Master is polite. We have been together for so long, and it is also a kind of fate. If you have nothing to do in the future, you will lead Xiao Jiu'er to Lantingzhou to play. I like her a lot, oh, and I like you too. ”
Jiang Zhankui grinned.
Jiang Jiu hurriedly replied, "Okay, Jiu'er will often remind the starling." Seeing that the starling liked the third sister-in-law, her heart was also happy. In the future, I can finally go to Lan Tingzhou often to play with my third sister-in-law.
Back at Lan Tingzhou, Lu Man first went to the backyard wing room to visit the flag chief.
As soon as he returned to the upper room, the reward of the second and third ladies came.
First, a white jade lotus hairpin was rewarded by the second lady, and then a makeup satin rewarded by the third lady.
The two girls who heard it say that the two ladies also rewarded the two little brothers and sisters of Qingfeng Temple.
Before going to bed, the eldest lady sent someone to send six palace flowers.
Lu Man smiled secretly, the eldest lady must be helpless and has to make a face. In fact, the eldest lady is the biggest boss in the inner house except for the eldest princess, and she really doesn't want to offend her. But she doesn't like herself, and she doesn't like what people don't like. I hope I don't want to involve the pair of little brothers and sisters, she doesn't want to mess around here for a long time, but the little brothers and sisters still have a lot of things to rely on in the future.
In mid-June, a few days ago, a heavy rain for three days in a row drove away the rolling heat wave and cooled down.
Jiang Zhanwei, who said that he would come back in the first half of the year, did not come back as scheduled, which not only disappointed the little brother and sister, but also Lu Man was anxious. She also looked forward to Jiang Zhanwei coming back soon to help find Wang's mother's family.
Except for the three days when it rained heavily, the little brothers and sisters would come to Lan Tingzhou almost every day after dawn, and sometimes they would even eat dinner here, because they came to visit the flag chief. Although Mama Gu was extremely unhappy, Jiang Zhankui insisted that she had no choice.
The flag chief's leg was already healed, the splint was removed, and it was no problem for three good legs to walk with one sick leg, and he went back to Qingfeng Hospital on the fifteenth.
The old colt's condition is getting better and better, his facial expressions and limb movements are a little more than before, and the family is looking forward to his early awakening.
Lu Man is busier. Not only to treat the old horse and the scalper's family, but also to do psychological dredging for the two children, and often to make some delicious filial piety to the eldest princess and each room. At the same time, he also asked Uncle Gao to go to Renhetang to buy medicine every once in a while, and he had to keep in touch with it at all times, and occasionally asked Uncle Gao to go to the cloth village next to him to buy some materials.
Now, Lu Man also has a status in the house, she wants to use the people in the outer courtyard, and the girl can use the pair of cards given by the grandmother and hand them over to the steward of the outer courtyard.
Listening to Uncle Gao, the shopkeeper Li is very good, with a gentle temper, and it can be seen from his conversation that he also knows a lot of medical science. And that cloth village seems to have become Xiao Chen's industry......
Renhetang's house became Xiao Chen's property? What a laugh! Lu Man was so angry that he had liver pain, and he only had patience. Think, wait, if the goods don't come back, I'll go out and beg the eldest princess.
On the nineteenth day, Lu Man asked people to go to the kitchen to buy a lot of food, but she was still going to make teppanyaki. Not only because Lu Man likes to eat it very much, Jiang Zhankui also likes it very much, and he also ordered tofu skin mushrooms, pork belly, and mutton skewers yesterday.
Now the status of several of them in the mansion has been improved to a certain extent, although they are not as good as those favored sons-in-law, but they are not the existence of invisible people. As long as they have the ingredients in the kitchen, they can buy them, and they don't dare to charge high prices.
Lu Man returned to Lanting Zhou from Heming Hall and went to the kitchen to take a look first. To her delight, there was a large plate of cuttlefish and a pound of venison. Other dishes are also extremely rich, such as pork belly, lamb, chicken, and pork ribs. Vegetarian dishes include chili, leeks, cucumbers, eggplant, mushrooms, beans, and tofu and tofu skin. I also bought a small jar of osmanthus stuff.
Lu Man smiled with crooked eyebrows. hurriedly went to the clean room to take a bath, and led a few girls and Mrs. Huang to get busy.
It's almost done, Lu Man poked his head out to look at the sun in the west, it was already the end of the hour, I don't know why the little brother and sister haven't come yet. She was about to send someone to urge, when she saw Jiang Zhanyu leading a small person from the side building with one hand, and the flag chief followed aside.
Those three people are like fairy characters who come out of the golden light, full of fairy spirit.
Lu Man hurriedly greeted him out of the kitchen.
Jiang Zhanyu smiled like a spring breeze and said, "Third sister-in-law, the eighth brother and Xiao Jiu'er said that the teppanyaki made by the third sister-in-law is delicious, so I will ...... Hehe......" After speaking, his face turned even redder, like a peach blossom in March.
Comparing this teenager to a peach blossom, Lu Man felt that there was no sense of disobedience.
Lu Man smiled, "Yo, your guests are here, welcome, welcome." However, these foods are vulgar and not as delicate as the dishes in the house, and the fifth master does not dislike them. ”
Jiang Zhanyu smiled, "The third sister-in-law is polite." ”
Laneige and Lingzhi, who came with them, also held two oil-paper packets, which contained soy sauce beef bought at Xifu Restaurant and pea yellow bought by Crispy Zhai.
Jiang Jiu invited Gong Dao, "Third sister-in-law, this is what the fifth brother bought for us, and we will use it to honor the third sister-in-law." ”
Lu Man pinched her little face and smiled, "Thank you, and thank you Fifth Master." ”
Because of Jiang Zhanyu, the uncle, the meal was placed on the round table in the west side room.
When the dishes are put on the table, they really don't look good, even if they are served on a beautiful plate, they don't look exquisite. But the taste is extremely fragrant, stimulating people's taste buds, Jiang Zhankui's saliva is a mouthful.
Jiang Zhanyu smiled, "This fragrance is special, I've never smelled it before." ”
Lu Man knew that Jiang Zhanyu's health was not good, so he didn't dare to let him eat cuttlefish cubs, there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that seafood is hair. Moreover, he can't eat more of these things. said with a smile, "These things are not easy to restrain themselves, and there are hair things among them, and the fifth master can't eat more." ”
