Chapter 50: The eldest brother of the Lu family
Chapter 50
Lu Songli rode a carriage to her sister-in-law's maiden home, Tian's house, and they set off early, and it was only at midnight when they arrived, that is, around ten o'clock in the morning.
Lu Songli noticed from a distance that a carriage was parked in front of the gate of Tian's house, and many people were carrying things from the house and stuffing them on. Her eldest brother was talking to two and a half children.
"Enough is enough, Axiu Awen, don't move."
"Brother-in-law, we can't listen to you or my sister in this matter, we have to listen to A-Niang."
"Yes, brother-in-law, you've helped us a lot during this time, and this little thing is nothing."
The carriage approached, and Lu Songli poked her head out of the carriage, "Big brother and sister-in-law?" β
Hearing the voice, Lu Zhiyuan turned around and was very surprised to see Lu Songli, "Little sister, why are you here?" β
When Lu Zhiyuan saw his own sister, he thought that something had happened to his father, but he didn't let go until Lu Songli opened his mouth to deny his speculation.
"What are you?" Lu Songli looked at the stuffed things behind the carriage and had a guess in her heart.
Lu Zhiyuan said, "I just heard about the marriage of the Queen Mother's decree and your sister-in-law, and we are planning to go back today." "There is such a big thing in the family, as the eldest son, he should help his parents at home to share one or two, as soon as the news came, he has been regretting that he couldn't go back sooner.
Lu Songli thought to herself, this news is not slow.
"Don't even stand outside, let's go inside." Lu's sister-in-law Tian noticed that the neighbors had begun to probe their brains, and she also dealt with the two people who wanted to come over.
Sister-in-law Lu led her to rest, but Lu Songli said, "I'm not busy, I'll go see my in-laws first." β
Then Sister-in-law Lu led her to see her in-laws' wife, Mrs. Tian fell and injured her left hand and left leg, and is still lying in bed to recuperate.
Lu Songli saw that her sister-in-law helped Mrs. Tian up, and saw that the other party was very inconvenient, Lu Songli greeted her parents a few words, and Mrs. Tian was very polite, and she was also very grateful for her brother's help recently and her parents' leniency.
Lu Songli only stayed for a while, and then came out after speaking, and did not disturb the injured patient's rest.
Then, Lu Songli followed Sister-in-law Lu to the hall, where her eldest brother was already sitting.
"Little sister." Seeing her, Lu Zhiyuan wiped his face, trying to cheer himself up.
"Big brother, you're so tired these days?" Lu Songli looked at him, his face was yellow, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his eyes were clear, and he looked tired.
Lu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, originally their family came to congratulate their mother-in-law on her birthday, but they only planned to stay for two or three days and then go back. At that time, the father-in-law and brother-in-law had just gone out to see medicinal herbs, and they had just packed their luggage and wanted to go home.
The Tian family has a medicinal herb shop, and when the father-in-law and brother-in-law are there, they go to the shop to be busy, and if they are not at home, the mother-in-law goes to inspect. This time, the mother-in-law fell and was injured and couldn't move, and the remaining brother-in-law and sister-in-law were all young, only eight years old, and they didn't do anything, and the Tian family didn't have anyone in charge, if they left, the whole Tian family was afraid that it would be messed up. There was no choice but to stay with his wife and children to help.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to mention the situation on his side for the time being, and there was nothing to mention, he was more concerned about his little sister and his family, "Little sister, what's going on with the Queen Mother's marriage?" β
So, Lu Songli briefly recounted what happened at home recently.
Lu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he had only been away from home for half a month, and his family had undergone such earth-shaking changes. His sister-in-law changed her fiancΓ© with such a twist and turn. Xie Zhan, the unmarried sister-in-law who has been in his family for nearly ten years has become Zhao Yutan's, and Zhao Yutan's fiancΓ© Qin Sheng has become his sister-in-law.
"Isn't that nonsense! What does Xie Zhan eat? Lu Zhiyuan slapped the table angrily, and then couldn't help but walk around the hall with his hands behind his back. He didn't expect that a small incident of falling into the water would lead to such huge consequences.
Lu Songli didn't say much, let him vent, and the matter was already a foregone conclusion.
"I should have gone back sooner." Lu Zhiyuan regretted it.
Lu Songli ate the freshly baked dim sum, and said indifferently, "It's okay, you can't help when you go back." β
In modern times, she likes to eat salty traditional snacks, and she rarely eats sweet snacks and cakes. It may be that there is a lack of sugar in this era, her body is thirsty for sugar, and she is now eating the sugar horns made by the Tian family, and she actually feels very good.
Lu Zhiyuan: Sister, this is heart-wrenching.
"Little sister, it's all my fault, pulling your brother to stay at her parents' house to deal with things." The eldest sister-in-law, Tian, also blamed herself. She didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home, before Tian An went back, her in-laws brought a message to them, saying that they could handle and cook things at home, so that the couple could help in Tian's house with peace of mind.
She hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, there are in-laws in charge of the Lu family, and her mother's side, if they leave, there will really be no one who can call the shots.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself, what I just said is also true, even if the eldest brother goes back, the situation will not be better than now. He stayed here, and his family saved half a month's food. β
Lu Zhiyuan: This is even more heart-wrenching, is he a rice bucket at home?
Lu Zhiyuan snorted twice and said, "Although your brother and I didn't help at home, we haven't gained nothing in the past half a month. β
Lu Songli was curious, "What kind of harvest?" β
Lu Zhiyuan nodded at his wife, Tian smiled at her, and entered the house.
He turned to her and said, "You'll find out, little sister." β
Not long after, I saw her sister-in-law come out with a wooden box with a good material, and under Lu Zhiyuan's signal, she directly handed the wooden box to Lu Songli.
Lu Zhiyuan raised his chin, "Look." β
Lu Songli took it and opened the wooden box without hesitation, she recognized it at a glance, "Yo, this is wild ginseng?" "That's right, in ancient times, it was all wild ginseng, and there was no concept and technology for artificial cultivation.
She held the box up and carefully observed the ginseng's reeds, body, and whiskers. This ginseng has a stubby root, yellow-brown skin, and its legs stretch out to both sides, and the ginseng is shaped like iron wires, fine and deep, and there are rings on it.
Lu Songli leaned closer and sniffed the smell of ginseng, and said, "This ginseng is fifty years old, right?" "The key is to be in good condition.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at his sister in surprise, she still understands ginseng? She said that the year of this ginseng is right, the whole fifty years, only a little more. The problem is that when he planned to buy this ginseng before, he asked the old master to palm his eyes, and this master was very good at distinguishing ginseng, and he also spent twenty taels of silver in order to invite this master to palm his eyes.
