Chapter 199: The Third Master is back
Fu and Wang hurriedly thanked the eldest princess and left.
Lu Man was very reluctant to them. In her heart, they have become colleagues who get along with her day and night. Especially the imperial doctor Fu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is her master.
She reluctantly sent them to the door of the weeping flowers.
Imperial Doctor Fu smiled, "Didn't the third grandmother split up and live separately?" If there is anything, the third grandmother can go to the house of the lower official. If the lower officials have problems, they will also go to the house to disturb them. He also told Lu Man his home address.
Lu Man smiled. Indeed, now she no longer lives in the deep mansion compound, and she is much more free to interact with people than before.
When the eldest grandmother, mother and son came, she handed over the eldest princess two stickers. The twenty-third day of the lunar month, that is, the day after tomorrow, is the seventieth birthday of Mrs. Lu of Anguo Gong. The Duke of Anguo has a high position and is quite relied on by the emperor, and Mrs. Lu has a good relationship with the eldest princess, so the eldest princess will definitely go.
While placing a post on the eldest princess's mansion, he also gave a separate one to Jiang San's grandmother Lu Man.
Lu Man has already branched into another government and has become a side branch. If the eldest princess receives a post, she will generally only take her daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law who has not been separated, and it is impossible to bring Lu Man who has been separated.
Lu Man was a little inexplicable. She had met Mrs. Lu once, a very kind and shrewd old lady. Jiang Zhanwei is just a fourth-grade military attache who has lived separately, and she doesn't seem to be treated so specially.
The third lady smiled, "I heard that Mrs. Lu's granddaughter-in-law, Grandma Lu Liu, is about to give birth, and Grandma Lu Liu is related to Grandma Xie's mother's family......
The eldest princess understood and said to Lu Man, "Then let's go." Give her a pulse, and then feel if the fetal position is correct...... which means to do the work of a doctor, not a midwife.
Lu Man agreed with a smile. Jiang Zhanwei specifically said that when treating people in wealthy families, you must listen to the opinions of the eldest princess. Since the eldest princess thinks she can go, she will go.
The eldest princess said to the eldest grandmother again, "Zhanwei's daughter-in-law will go with us, and you will let the foreign affairs room prepare two birthday gifts." They don't have much savings, and they have to support their uncles and sisters-in-law, and they are poor. ”
Lu Man blushed again. Although I saved the gift money, I was always said to be poor, and I was embarrassed.
The eldest grandmother hurriedly smiled and agreed. He also said that the mother-in-law who sent the post specifically said that Mrs. Lu also specially asked Mrs. Jiang to appreciate the light.
Miss Lu Ba is a famous talented girl in the capital, and she opened a poetry club, and that day they would make poems for Mrs. Lu's birthday, and wanted to invite Mrs. Jiang to be a judge.
The second lady of the ordinary birthday banquet would not go to join in the fun, but when she heard that the nobles invited her to be a judge when they made poems, she also nodded and agreed.
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and the second lady, the third lady, the eldest grandmother and others left. And Lu Man and Jiang Jiu had to accompany the old concubine and stayed until early noon before leaving.
Before leaving, Lu Man discussed with the eldest princess again, the old horse does not need to be diagnosed and rehabilitated now, can she only come to ask for peace in the morning, accompany the old horse more, and deal with housework at home in the evening. One is that she is really busy, and now that her home is not completely straightened out, she still wants to have more time for studying. Another reason is that they are all separated, and they are partial, and it is not good to stay in Heming Hall longer than the regular share.
The eldest princess also knew what she was thinking. nodded in agreement and said, "Zhanwei is not at home, there is only one adult master in that family, and there are many things to do" At the mention of Jiang Zhanwei, her face was full ......of sadness, "That child, it's almost the New Year, why haven't you come back yet?" ”
Lu Man took Jiang Jiu back to Donghui Courtyard.
At the end of the morning, Lu Man settled the account with Uncle Ming and Liu Ya again. It's the New Year, you have to buy New Year's goods, and the masters and slaves have to make new clothes. There are only two embroidery girls in the needlework room at home, and they can only be made for the master in such a short time, and Lu Man gave the subordinates the silver to make new clothes, so that they can make their own ......
The next night, as soon as Lu Man and the others had dinner, they huddled together and talked. The sky was covered with snow, and the sound of the wind howling could be heard clearly in the house. Several people huddled together, and they all felt warm to the heart.
Suddenly, Mrs. Huang, who was watching the second door, shouted loudly, "Third grandmother, third grandmother, third master is back." ”
Several people listened and looked at each other, some of them couldn't believe it. Then, I heard the sound of Jiang Zhanwei walking in the yard.
Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu jumped off the kang and ran out. Lu Man also got off the kang, touched his beating heart, and walked out of the side room.
When he came to the hall, Jiang Zhanwei had already entered the door, bringing in a cool and cold wind.
Jiang Zhanwei's first glance was not at Jiang Jiu, but at Lu Man.
He was wearing a military uniform inside, a dark cloak outside, a horsewhip in one hand, and a green backpack designed by Lu Man in the other. He wiped the hood off his head, his eyebrows turned white, and his cheeks and nose were red from the cold wind.
He smiled at Lu Man, "I'm back, I can only stay at home for two days, and I have to leave early the day after tomorrow." ”
The word "home" bites hard.
Lu Man said with a smile, "The third master is going to wash up, and then go to the kang to warm up, and I'll prepare wine and food for you." ”
With that, he walked to the door. She has been doing psychological construction for so long, and at this moment she still doesn't dare to face Jiang Zhanwei, she wants to go out and calm down.
The moment Lu Man and Jiang Zhanwei passed by, Jiang Zhanwei stretched out his big hand and grabbed her little hand. The big hands were frozen like ice, and they were so cold that Lu Man was excited.
Jiang Zhanwei squeezed Lu Man's hand vigorously and said, "Thank you, that telescope is not only an artifact, but also a feat." Then, let go of the big hand.
When Lu Man walked outside the door, he could still hear Jiang Zhankui's voice and Jiang Jiu's laughing and screaming.
Mama Wang hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, ran out with Lu Man's cloak in her arms, and put it on Lu Man. complained, "Third grandmother, don't get cold." ”
The moon door to the back cover room was locked, and Liu Ya took out the key to open it. A few people went in, and called out the mother-in-law who was on duty at night, and went into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
The kitchen was well stocked and even had a few chickens. The cook quickly killed a chicken, fried a dried bacon with garlic sprouts, a shrimp and bean sprouts, a Sixi meatball, a boiled white siad, and cooked a big bowl of wontons with chicken filling.
Returning to the upper room again, Lu Man's mood had calmed down.
Jiang Zhanwei had finished bathing, his hair was scattered, and he was sitting on the kang in the east side room in a purple cotton robe, and the little brother and sister were leaning on his arms.
At this time, Jiang Zhanwei is very different, he is less cold and gloomy in the past, his face is full of smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and he is still very sunny.
When the wine and food were put on the table, Jiang Zhanwei pushed Jiang Zhankui and said, "It's late, you go back and rest." Tomorrow my brother will be at home and will play with you for a day. ”
Jiang Jiu pouted and said, "It's not too late, sit down for a while." ”
Guo's mother and Lingzhi came over and whispered a few words of persuasion, Jiang Zhankui looked at his brother who did not let go, and consciously got off the kang. Jiang Jiu saw that the starlings were gone, and he was reluctant to go down and turn around three times.
The people also withdrew with interest.
