Chapter 256: Family Affairs

Liu Meibao walked into the door and saw Lu Yan hurriedly welcoming Lu Fang with him.

He was wearing a homely robe with no straps, and seemed to be awakened by a sudden awakening while sleeping.

"Don't wake me up." He shouted at the butler.

"Why did you come out like this?" Liu Meibao took a few steps over, and while helping him tie the belt, he raised his eyebrows and shouted.

The adults who were angry at the housekeeper at the last moment are smiling at the lady at this moment, and the emotional transformation is extremely smooth.

"I didn't even pick you up," he said with a little apology and a little reproach, and he couldn't help but scold the butler, blaming him for not informing himself.

The distance from Yanchitan to Taiyuan Mansion is long, coupled with the weather or other conditions, it is difficult to say the day of the itinerary on the road, so Lu Yan only knows that Liu Meibao will arrive in these days, but the specific day is not so accurate.

It stands to reason that he knew it when he entered the city gate, but he didn't expect to fall asleep, and the people didn't tell him, which made Lu Yan very irritable.

"What's the big deal, you can't enter the door if you don't pick us up?" Liu Meibao smiled, helped him tighten his clothes again, and urged him to go in, "I have to serve you if you are sick after eating the wind." ”

Lu Yan laughed, hugged his son and threw it.

"Let's go, let's go into the house." He laughed.

"What do you sleep in the middle of the day? Why does it smell so much alcohol? ”

"Oh, yesterday's banquet of the chief soldier, I, drank a few more glasses...."

The husband and wife whispered and walked towards the inner courtyard.

On the third day of Liu Meibao's arrival in Fucheng, the wives of Lu Yan's superiors and subordinates held a party for her.

The banquet was not in anyone's house, but a famous restaurant in the city, and the opera troupe was invited to play music, the wine and food were luxurious, and the handsome men in the troupe sang beautifully, which caused a group of women to laugh and laugh, which was completely different from the troupe that Liu Meibao saw at the Pingyang Temple Fair in Hedongbao at that time. This kind of drunken gold charm only surprised Liu Meibao, who attended this level banquet for the first time.

A playful maid stood in front of the stage with a plate in her hand.

"Mrs. Tong rewards the little three joys." She whispered as she scattered the silver coins on the stage.

The handsome scholar who was swaying on the stage bowed to the side of the stage.

Liu Meibao, who was arranged in front of the main seat, watched the heartbeat, really, really open....

But fortunately, it has been exercised at this time, and I screamed in surprise in my heart, and my appearance remained unmoving, reasonable and decent.

"Mrs. Liu, this little three is very good at singing, the Lantern Festival every year. It's all Erlang Zhenjun played by him, but what about the people who are fascinated by the whole city, what do you think? A woman behind her put her arm on Liu Meibao's shoulder and smiled.

She was thirty-four or five years old, beautifully dressed, with thin eyebrows and long eyes with a smile, and three red gold bracelets were revealed on the wrist on Liu Meibao's shoulder.

Liu Meibao knew that the rich were now extravagant, so she inquired about the habits of these ladies in advance when she went out this time, deliberately painted a thicker makeup, and brought two or three pieces of jewelry, but here she compared with the families of these military attachΓ©s of about three grades. She's still too shabby.

"It's good." Liu Meibao smiled kindly.

"Mrs. Lu, the general of the three armies of the Yongguan Army, praised Xiao Sanxi for singing well." The woman immediately laughed and shouted to the audience.

The little student on the stage looked over here, and he didn't know that these women had ordered it in advance. Or because of Lu Yan's name, the handsome little student threw the folding fan in his hand over, because of the close distance, it landed on Liu Meibao's body accurately.

The laughter of the women in the audience, Liu Meibao couldn't cry or laugh, and the fan was not taken or not, and the little student on the stage threw a wink and turned to the backstage.

What is this called, the entertainment life of this ancient lady is also quite avant-garde.

"The men were accompanied by official prostitutes when they went in and out. Let's watch a play. A woman on the side saw Liu Meibao's embarrassment and said with a slight smile.

Liu Meibao smiled but said nothing.

"Mrs. Feng, look." The woman standing behind Liu Meibao said to the woman. Facing the opposite seat, "The concubine brought by Mrs. Tongzhi is the official prostitute of Xinna." ”

"Really?" The woman was a little surprised, and squinted at the rock to look over.

"It looks good, there are a lot of officials in Changping, as a reward, thank you for our great efforts in Shanxi this time, and fill these fresh people." The woman from before whispered, "I haven't seen these men feasting one by one these days. ”

She snorted, with a deep sense of dissatisfaction.

"How long can freshness be fresh." The woman was older, and smiled indifferently when she heard this, "It's just an object to be sent to us." As he spoke, he patted the woman's hand, "Don't be jealous first, it's better to grab two of these good goods in your hands first, which not only pleases your family, but also keeps them for giving away in the future." ”

Just as official prostitutes accompany each other at banquets, it is normal for officials to give concubines to each other.

Liu Meibao listened with his ears pricked up on the side, and the topic of the two women quickly shifted again, in short, it was inseparable from the men and women's parents, in general, this banquet still made Liu Meibao very happy, and when she got home, she showed Lu Yan that fan.

"Who sent it?" Lu Yan asked, sneezing twice from the aroma on it.

"A man sent it." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

It's been so long since she crossed over, and she can finally have a male supporting actor pull it out and mention it, although this male supporting actor is estimated to have only appeared once.

Lu Yan was a little stunned when he heard this, he looked up at his wife, he saw pink cheeks and apricot eyes under the lamp, and at this time he smiled like a child showing off, only to see that his heart was hot.

"Which man sent it?" Lu Yan stretched out his hand to pull her over, wrapped it in his arms and rubbed it against her face, and laughed in a low voice.

"I won't tell you." Liu Meibao said with a smile, imagination is beautiful, but it will be miserable to say it.

Lu Yan laughed, deliberately threatened to tear off the fan, causing Liu Meibao to laugh and grab it, because she was afraid that she was pregnant, Lu Yan quickly returned the fan to her, hugged her and kissed her, and her body was weak when she kissed.

"It's hard to bear, isn't it?" Liu Meibao snuggled in Lu Yan's arms, pinched his waist and said with a low smile, the fan had already been thrown aside.

Because of the signs of miscarriage, they have not had sex together for these days.

"Nothing." Lu Yan smiled, and his body stiffened before he finished speaking. Hurriedly reached out and pressed the little hand that was doing evil.

Liu Meibao grinned in his chest.

"Mabel, wait a little longer, you'll be fine." Lu Yan kissed her earlobe and whispered.

"I'm not afraid you won't be able to hold it back." Liu Meibao said with a smile, raising her eyes and smiling, "I'll tell you, if you can't hold back, you can't find another woman.....

Before her words fell, Lu Yan's body stiffened a little.

"Mother.." Lu Fang's shouts came from the ear room, followed by crying.

This kid has changed places and has some choice of bed. Liu Meibao hurriedly passed by in three steps and two steps, Lu Yan stood in a daze for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and Liu Meibao asked Lu Fang if he wanted to drink water or something, and then he came back to his senses and followed.

Nothing was said all night.

The days in Taiyuan Mansion are completely different from before, there are no disaster victims and no special need for her to take care of the friendly military households, Liu Meibao is a little unaccustomed to being idle.

"Being in the midst of blessings does not know blessings." Song Sanniang glanced at her and said, while comparing a jacket on Lu Fang's body.

Lu Fang stretched out his hand and slapped Zhou Hutou in front of him, urging impatiently.

"Alright, alright. Let's play. Song Sanniang slapped him on the ass and said with a smile.

Lu Fang immediately took the tiger's hand.

"My dad made me a lot of little wooden men to fight. Let's go play. He giggled.

The tiger head of the same age as him was a head taller than him at this time, black and strong, nodding innocently, while feeling out of his arms a faceless man who had been pressed into shape.

"Dad bought it for me at the temple fair, and he bought one for you too, and I brought it to you." He said.

The two children held hands and laughed and ran out.

"Look at the boat you brought with you, so thin." Song Sanniang complained.

"Who made me not have a good mother-in-law like my aunt." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

"I'm going to be a mother of two children. Also flamboyant. Song Sanniang glanced at her and said angrily.

Liu Meibao hugged her arm and put it on her shoulder and smiled.

"Brother and sister-in-law are alright?" She asked, "Why don't you see them coming?" I haven't seen them in a long time. ”

"Your brother has a business to talk about. Your sister-in-law .." Song Sanniang said, hesitating.

"What's wrong?" Liu Meibao hurriedly sat up straight and asked.

"Your sister-in-law has something at home, and she is not happy, so I didn't let her go out." Song Sanniang sighed and said.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Liu Meibao asked.

Song Sanniang sighed.

"This kid is tough, since he got married, I have wanted to help their family many times, you know, their family is not very good, his father is a scholar, and he has no fame, he makes a living by writing to others, he can earn a few dollars, and a brother is weak, and it is really not easy to live." She said slowly, "However, your sister-in-law has resigned, I have wrapped a heavy gift in the past during the New Year's holidays, and their family must have returned the heavy gift, so I can not only not help them, but become a burden to them, so I have to give up, let your brother invite his father and brother to come to the shop, she also refused, I don't know what this child thinks, where does the family use so clearly?" Our family didn't have any relatives, since she married into our family, then our two families are relatives, who is better than helping whom, what's wrong? ”

If you don't say it, it's enough, as soon as you say that Song Sanniang has accumulated these words, she can't say these words in front of her daughter-in-law and son, so she has no scruples in front of her daughter.

Liu Meibao was also a little surprised, if it was normal for Xiao Ling to be a little restrained at the beginning, now the children are so old....

"Let's just say this time, there was an accident at her house a few years ago, and I went back several times in a row, I asked, but they all said that it was okay, it was okay, or I asked someone to inquire, it turned out to be her sister..."Song Sanniang continued, while sighing again, "Her sister hurt a child a year ago, and before the confinement was sitting, she was abused by her in-laws, and her father went to ask his daughter for an explanation, and he didn't get a good word, but he took her sister home in the New Year, and now she doesn't come to call over there, and it means that she can't get by..."

Xiaolin's sister, Liu Meibao, saw the image of the shy and quiet girl in front of her eyes, and her face was no longer rememberable.

She couldn't help but sigh when she had such a bad life.

"You can't just forget it, how can you bully people like this." She stood up and said.

"Forget it, this business is difficult to decide, don't make trouble, my uncle is now newly promoted, don't cause bad words." Song Sanniang told her, "This business is a trivial matter after all, I let your brother watch it, and I will never let that family suffer so easily." ”

Liu Meibao nodded, sighing in the end, Song Sanniang comforted her in turn, she lived here for two days, she couldn't let go of her home, and she refused Liu Meibao and Lu Yan's retention and went back early in the morning.

Liu Meibao kept sending them out of the city gate, watching them go away before coming back.

"What are we going to play today? Your dad is busy again, why don't we go shopping...", she sat in the car and chattered with her son.

"My mother has a little brother in her belly, and my father said, don't go out to play, sleep at home." Lu Fang said seriously, and stretched out his little hand to touch Liu Meibao's stomach.

Liu Meibao laughed.

"We can't help but tell your father." She deliberately made her son laugh.

Lu Fang looked at her with disdain, and reached out to scratch his face twice.

"Lie, shame." He snorted.

"Sample.." Liu Meibao smiled and leaned back and stretched out her hand to poke her son's little face.

Laughing and laughing, the carriage arrived at the front of the house, and as soon as he pulled his son out of the carriage, he saw a carriage coming over and stopping, and a manservant in Tsing Yi jumped off the horse.

"From the General Army." He said with a little pride, handing over a post to prove his identity.

The guards scrutinized it and nodded.

"What's the matter?" Liu Meibao asked.

When the manservant saw her, he recognized her by the way he dressed, and his attitude was much more polite.

"I've seen my wife." He greeted him seriously, and after receiving Liu Meibao's exemption, he got up and said, "I am on the orders of the lord to send someone to the lord's house." ”

Giving away? Liu Meibao was a little puzzled, and her eyes fell on the carriage behind the manservant.

It was a simple green cloth carriage.

"Come down." The manservant turned and shouted into the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the face of a woman, and before everyone could see her, she bowed her head.

When I got out of the car, I saw that she was tall, wearing the most ordinary plain cotton robe, holding round sideburns, not holding a hairpin, and only a small chin could be seen with her head lowered.

She held a small burden in her hand, and stood there timidly, as if she was a little overwhelmed, and looked more and more delicate and pitiful.

"I haven't seen my wife yet." The manservant said.

The woman seemed to be frightened by the word wife, and quickly raised her head to look, but she didn't know if she could see the wife in front of her clearly, so she lowered her head again.

"I've seen my wife." She whispered, kneeling down and prostrating.
