The inside of the banquet room is connected to the outside world, and you can see that under the reflection of the daylight, there are a little needles on the ancient pine, still with a little bit of green.

Many of the people present had not seen such a smile on Mrs. Ning's face for a long time.

Mrs. Ning sat on the top, and Lu Qiong and Ning Qiang sat beside her.

On the table a little away from her, Lu Chongshan and Mrs. Zhu were at the same table, and Mrs. Zhu still had tears in her eyes, and she looked at Lu Chongshan frequently.

In addition to Lu Feng and Lu Jiang below, there were many young masters and young ladies from the Second Mansion, and their eyes looking at Lu Chongshan were full of crampedness and curiosity.

Lu Chongshan has been concentrating on practicing Buddhism for ten years, and the last time he returned to Lufu from the Jokhang Temple was six years ago.

In the past six years, although many of the people present were his closest relatives, they had never seen Lu Chongshan.

It is precisely because of this that when Lu Chongshan returned to the house, Mrs. Ning would be so happy.

Feast.

All kinds of luxurious delicacies were served up by the accompanying maids one by one.

In each small jade plate, there are ingredients that Lu Jingjian has never seen, the aroma is fragrant, and the dishes are also beautiful, like exquisite handicrafts.

Qingyue's eyes widened, she had never seen such beautiful food.

Unexpectedly, her expression was seen by many maids, and they hid their faces and snickered.

Lu Jingze's face did not change, and he whispered to Qingyue: "When the banquet is over, we will bring these foods back, otherwise it will be a waste." ”

Qingyue nodded slightly, many masters of the Lu family are here, and it is inconvenient for her to speak as a maid, but she also agrees with Lu Jing's decision.

"Food can't be wasted."

Lu Jing whispered softly in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, and tasted slowly.

The old lady in front of the Gao Taiyu case always had a smile on her face.

Lu Qiong looked very good, and smiled toothily in front of the old lady, which made the old lady even happier.

The old lady also touched Ning Qiang's long hair from time to time, and looked at Lu Chongshan not far away, her eyes were full of happiness.

This host lasted for an hour.

At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew and blew into this banquet hall, and on many spring trees outside the garden, there were yellow leaves falling, which probably brought up the sorrow of Mrs. Ning.

The smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she sighed: "On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we should reunite tonight to enjoy the moon, but Shenyuan is still on the way to Taixuanjing."

And my poor girl......"

When Mrs. Ning said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ning Qiang beside her not only hid her face and cried, but the poor girl in Ning Taijun's mouth was Ning Qiang's biological mother who died from the disaster of the big demon!

Ning Qiang's eyes were hazy with tears, and Lin Rongdong gently patted her back on the side.

Ning Qiang cried for a while, and then remembered the poem Lu Jing wrote to her that day, and couldn't help but look at Lu Jing.

At this time, Lu Jingzheng was sitting at the end of many tables, his bearing was as usual, and he didn't even forget to chuckle at Qingyue.

"Cousin Lu Jing has also suffered a lot, his mother has long left him, the head of the family regards him as nothing, and his mother is also disgusted, even the seat in the clan is last, and the other cousins laugh at him, but he is still calm......"

"Those who forsake me shall not remain yesterday, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled today......

Ning Qiang thought of Lu Jing and the poem that Lu Jing copied for her, and for some reason, her heart was much more settled.

At this time.

At such a banquet, Mrs. Zhong, who had never said much, suddenly pulled up her long sleeves lightly and said to Mrs. Ning on the side: "Old lady, it is rare for many people to gather today, and it is a good time to follow the rules of the family." ”

The old lady was depressed, and when she heard Mrs. Zhong's words, she waved her hand slightly and said: "The rules of the family are naturally important, don't be lazy, on weekdays, you are also taking care of the affairs in the house, so you can ask." ”

Mrs. Zhong has a graceful bearing, wearing a blue and expensive robe, wearing a long hairpin with incense beads on her head, and a little rouge, which looks luxurious and solemn.

She got the words of the old lady, and her eyes wandered, falling on many young masters and young ladies.

Many young masters and young ladies all bowed their heads, and there was fear in their eyes, lest Mrs. Zhong's gaze fall on them.

The next moment, Mrs. Zhong said: "Lu Jiang, Lu Jing!" ”

Ning Qiang and Lin Rongdong's faces turned pale, and Lu Feng and many other young masters and young ladies raised their heads and looked at Lu Jing and Lu Jiang.

Lu Chongshan on the high platform still bowed his head, as if he had never heard the name of his concubine.

Lu Jiang stood up, glanced sideways at Lu Jing, and raised his head forward.

Lu Jing safely drank the wine in the cup in his hand, turned around and gave Qingyue a look, signaling him to rest assured, and then slowly got up.

Many young masters, young masters, maids, and so on focused on Lu Jing...... Because Lu Jing's status in the Lu Mansion has always been weak, many young nobles don't even have much impression of Lu Jing except for the identity of "son-in-law".

But today, Mrs. Zhong's tone was serious, and she said that she wanted to correct the rules in the house, and suddenly named Lu Jing, which made them quite curious.

"Lu Jiang, you didn't report it, you led people into the house, at least swaggered through the hospital, can you know that you are wrong?"

Mrs. Zhong's voice was cold, and her eyes were focused on Lu Jiang.

Her voice was not very harsh, but Lu Jiang knelt down without hesitation, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Auntie, Lu Jiang knows that he is presumptuous, please punish Aunt!" ”

Lu Jiang's voice just fell.

Another woman hurriedly came up from the hall, and the woman was also dressed in gold and silver, and her robe was precious, and she also came to the hall and knelt down, and said, "Mrs. Zhong, it is my fault that my godson is not strict, and I am also asked to punish Mrs. Zhong even with me, according to the rules of the house." ”

This woman is Lu Jiang's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou, and Lu Chongshan's concubine!

The hall was silent, but no one felt that Lu Jiang and Mrs. Zhou's actions were excessive, because ...... In the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Zhong has accumulated far-reaching power, and no one dares to brush her might!

Even Mrs. Zhu, the mother of the second mansion, stood up here and now, saluted Mrs. Zhong, and said, "It's because I don't govern the family strictly and let my sister worry about it." ”

Mrs. Zhong had a smile on her originally breezy face, and she first smiled at Mrs. Zhong: "In my sister's eyes, why should I be polite between concubines?" Lu Jiang is the young master of Erfu, he is still young, he has made a mistake, and he can be punished slightly, the important thing is that Erfu should be vigilant on weekdays, and now the head of the family will return, I don't know how many people inside and outside Changning Street are staring at Lufu, don't make people think that my Lufu family rules do not exist, and the young man is unruly. ”

Mrs. Zhu glanced at Lu Chongsheng lightly, and found that Lu Chongshan had not raised his head from beginning to end, as if he had not paid attention to the affairs of the mansion at all.

So she saluted Mrs. Zhong again: "What my sister taught me is that my sister saved." ”

Only then did Mrs. Zhong look at Lu Jiang and said, "Lu Jiang, you are the young master of the Second Mansion, and the old lady of the Second Mansion naturally has a face, so I can't punish you too harshly."

But the house must not be too casual, thinking that what you have done is not big, and you know that you have made a mistake, so you go straight to the Houshan Desert Courtyard to think about it for a month, and in the next year, the monthly case will be halved. ”

Madame Zhong whispered softly, but the hall was still silent.

Lu Jiang thanked him and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Xie, Lu Jiang understands." ”

Mrs. Zhong's gaze fell on Lu Jing on the side again, and her eyes changed instantly, becoming much colder.

"Lu Jing, do you know that you are wrong?" Mrs. Zhong asked again.

Her voice was extremely soft, but her tone was extremely stern, and she was originally looking at the young master and young lady in the middle of the banquet room, and when she heard Mrs. Zhong's inquiry, she couldn't help but bow her head suddenly, not daring to look at the head again.

Ning Qiang and Lin Rongdong glanced at each other, Ning Qiang's eyes were also very worried, even the little girl Lu Yi wrinkled her nose, and said in her heart: "Lu Jing...... This time you are going to suffer, so you can admit your mistake quickly and the punishment will be lighter. ”

Everyone thought that Lu Jing would also admit his mistake.

But the next moment......

"Mother, Lu Jing...... I don't know what went wrong. ”

Lu Jing saluted Mrs. Zhong, but the words in his mouth were amazing, which made the eyes of everyone present suddenly stagnate!

Ning Qiang said anxiously: "How can my cousin answer like this?" The housewife asked, whether you make a mistake or not, you have to admit your mistake, only in this way, can you not refute the face of the housemother, after all, in this hall, it is the surname Lu from all over the mansion gathered, in front of so many people, the face of the mother-in-law, how is this good? ”

Lin Rongdong was also a little surprised, her impression of Lu Jing was indeed not so unwise!

Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.

Although Lu Jiang, who had returned to his original position, did not understand Lu Jing's answer, there was a flash of joy in his eyes!

Mrs. Zhong didn't expect Lu Jing to answer like this.

But her face was still light, she stood up and walked down the high platform step by step.

"The rules of the house, without the consent of the elders, you can't practice martial arts outside the house!"

"My Lu Mansion is a martial arts family, and the rules of martial arts are particularly heavy, if you know the rules and touch them, the responsibility is even heavier!"

Mrs. Zhong's words were heavier than one sentence, and her tone was more severe than one sentence!

"Lu Jing, you are the young master of my mansion, my mother died early, you should be disciplined by me, how can I teach you to violate the rules of the mansion?"

"Lu Jing, you know that you are wrong, but your grandmother asked you, but she asked me...... Do you think you're going to leave the house, I'm the mother of the Lu family...... I can't punish you? ”

Mrs. Zhong said word by word, as if she was questioning Lu Jing.

However, many of the ladies in the second mansion have changed color.

Because they knew that Mrs. Zhong's many words seemed to be reprimanding Lu Jing, but in fact, she was using Lu Jing to stand up and say that Lord Chongshan and Mrs. Zhu, who had just returned from the Second Mansion, listen!

The implication is ...... Even if Master Chongshan returns to the mansion and the Marquis of Shenxiao is not there, then her Mrs. Zhong is already the master mother of the Lu Mansion!

Lu Jing and Lu Jiang are all chess pieces of Mrs. Zhong today.

Lu Jiang's incident, he was questioned and given a light punishment, which was to show his leniency!

And Lu Jing is used to stand up!

When Qingyue saw this scene, tears rolled in her eyes, and she was at a loss.

Ning Qiang felt sour for no reason, and thought of herself again.

"My cousin's situation is the same as mine, Lu Jiang made a mistake, his biological mother interceded, and his mother-in-law shared it."

"But my cousin has made a mistake, but no one has spoken for him, and if he and I have made a mistake in the future, who will intercede for me?"

Ning Qiang took a deep breath and was about to beg Mrs. Ning beside her.

But I heard Lu Jing say softly: "Mother, there are such rules in the clan, but how did I make a mistake?" ”

His expression was calm, without the slightest fear on his face, and he said eloquently: "I once saw an old man in black fishing by the Xishui Pond in the West Courtyard, and he said that he was a martial arts teacher of the Lu family, and he wanted to teach me martial arts when he saw that I was extraordinary. ”

"Elder, please, Lu Jing didn't dare to resign, so he agreed, and my martial arts came because of this, is it ...... I was deceived by that old man, he is not from Lu Fuzhong? ”

When Lu Jing said this, he paused slightly, and said, "The elder said that his name is ...... Wu died of grief. ”

Mrs. Zhong's brows furrowed abruptly.

Even Mrs. Ning, who was lying on the lady's chair with her hands on her hands, seemed to ignore the world, suddenly opened her eyes!
