The mourning hall was ventilated everywhere, and there was no way to set up a brazier to bake, so it was really cold. A gust of cold wind blew by, making Lu Yan shiver. He pushed Lu Lun, who was sitting beside him, and his upper eyelids were fighting with his lower eyelids: "
Fifth brother, go to bed quickly."
Lu Lun had been on guard for two nights before. Although he could rest during the day, he had turned day and night upside down, and he was very sleepy. After being pushed by Lu Yan and the cold wind blowing, he woke up, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and stretched
He was lazy and said: "It's okay, I'll sit down." But he held his stomach and said: "I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat. What do you want to eat?"
Lu Yan said: "It's the middle of the night. The servants have been tired for the whole day. Just come wherever is convenient."
"Yes." Lu Lun waved a boy over, and was about to tell the boy to go to the kitchen. He saw Lin Jinrong, the master and the servant, coming with lanterns and food boxes. He couldn't help his eyebrows twitching, and he greeted him happily:
"Second sister-in-law, what delicious food did you make?" As she said this, she put her hand on the food box in Cherry's hand.
Lin Jinrong slapped him unceremoniously and said, "I didn't prepare for you."
Lu Lun held the food box tightly and did not let go, with a playful smile and pleading eyes: "Second sister-in-law, please share with me some of my second brother's leftovers..."
If he had known that he was worried at this time, why would he have to go to the road of death? And he has not repented at all. Seeing Lu Lun's pleading look, Lin Jinrong became more and more angry, and before he spoke with a straight face, Lu Yan had already walked over and said
: "Whatever is leftover, no matter how much it is, we two brothers will just eat it together."
Lu Lun winked at Lin Jinrong triumphantly: "My second brother is better." He took off the lid and exclaimed: "It's hot noodle soup. It looks delicious. I'm starving to death!"
Lu Yan smiled, gave Lin Jinrong a comforting look, and signaled to Cherry: "Put out the bowls and chopsticks."
Cherry arranged the bowl and chopsticks before scooping out a bowl for Lu Yan. Lu Lun had already taken the spoon and quickly scooped up a large bowl for himself. He ate it like a whirlwind. Lu Yan only took two bites. Everyone looked at it.
Stunned, Lu Yan kept saying, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Lin Jinrong sat aside and said coolly: "He is just afraid that someone will rob him. He is used to it."
Lu Lun was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Lin Jinrong secretly and said, "In the army... I'm used to grabbing people."
Lin Jinrong made an innocent expression: "Do the general's personal soldiers also need to grab food?"
Lu Lun's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed nervously and said, "Our general eats and lives with us, and he never does anything special."
Lu Ming didn't know what was going on and said with a smile: "This General Xiong is really rare."
Lu Lun gave Lin Jinrong a warning look, and Lin Jinrong glared back at him disdainfully. Facing Lu Yan, they all smiled: "It's really rare."
Lu Yan had already noticed the undercurrent between the two of them, but he didn't point it out. He ate the food in the bowl as if nothing had happened and told Lu Lun: "You go back and rest first. I have something to talk to your second sister-in-law."
Lu Lun scratched his head and scratched his head, wondering if the two of them would talk about their affairs, but seeing Lu Mian's face refusing to refuse, he had no choice but to stand up and leave. However, he did not go back to his yard directly, but headed north.
Walk to a quiet place.
Cherry cleaned up the dishes and left with Shuangfu: "Grandma, I'm waiting outside."
Lin Jinrong nodded and handed a thick cotton robe to Lu Yan: "Put it on. It's such a cold day, I don't know how to wear more."
Lu Yan obediently put on his cotton robe and tied it with a hemp rope: "What's going on between you and your fifth brother? Why did he offend you?"
Now is not the time to talk about this matter. Lin Jinrong smiled: "It's nothing. I did it on purpose. My father-in-law just asked me to go over and ask about things at home..."
Obviously trying to deal with him, Lu Yan frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He just smoothed the broken hair on her temples and said softly: "It's been a tiring day. Go back and rest early. I'll come see you tomorrow morning."
and Yilang."
"Don't catch a cold." Lin Jinrong came out of the mourning hall and told Yingying: "Go and see if the fifth master has returned to the yard and tell him to meet me tomorrow afternoon."
Yingtao took the order and left, and Lin Jinrong returned to Rongjing Residence. After washing, Yingtao came in to reply: "Grandma, the fifth master didn't go back. I asked around, but no one knows where he went."
"Let me watch and see when he will come back, and tell me tomorrow morning." Lin Jinrong was so angry that his liver ached with this ignorant thing. He tossed and turned all night, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night. Before it became bright, he quickly got up.
Yingtao came in to help her wash up, and whispered: "Grandma, the fifth master returned to the courtyard half an hour ago. He told the people around him that he had been accompanying the second master in the mourning hall."
Lin Jinrong's mood became worse and worse, so he wrapped up Yilang and braved the cold to see Lu Jianxin. Lu Jianxin was different from Lin Yuzhen. His requirements for his son and daughter-in-law were that they must arrive on time and must not delay even half a step.
, if there is a temporary emergency or illness, a decent nanny around you must go over and ask for forgiveness. It was the first time Yilang paid him a visit, and Lin Jinrong did not dare to show any slights.
When we got outside, the lights around the yard were already on, and servants were quietly bringing water and charcoal to and fro. Nanny Fang came over and saw Lin Jinrong and her son standing on the porch, and said hurriedly: "Madam, you got up early, and the master is still here."
Wash up, grandma will wait for a while." He tightened Yi Lang's outer cloak and sighed softly.
Lin Jinrong waited for another stick of incense, her face numb with coldness, then she heard Lu Jianxin's voice: "Please come in, Second Mistress and Fourth Young Master."
Lin Jinrong walked in with Yilang in her arms, her eyebrows downcast, and kowtowed to Lu Jianxin on behalf of Yilang: "Yilang has met his grandfather."
Yilang woke up from being tortured a long time ago. The child was quite well-behaved. He only opened his big black eyes and looked around curiously without crying. Lu Jianxin saw that Yuxue was cute and energetic, although he was not like his own grandson.
He seemed to particularly like to be distressed, but he didn't resent it at all. He made a very loving gesture and reached out to receive it: "Grandpa, give me a hug."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly handed Yilang over and said, "I just woke up, maybe I'm not very good."
Lu Jianxin held Yilang in his arms, looked left and right, and said, "That's right. I heard that his great-grandfather gave him a name, Chen, right?"
"Yes." Lin Yuzhen quickly answered, "The old man said, Chen is the treasure of my family."
Lu Jianxin touched Yilang's face and raised his chin. Lin Jinrong quickly stepped forward to take Yilang back. Lu Jianxin said calmly: "Very good, educate him well. He is still young, so he won't have to get up so early in the future."
"
Lin Jinrong hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your consideration."
Lu Jianxin smiled and said: "As for my grandson, he must abide by the rules, but he must also be considerate and considerate."
Lin Jinrong responded again: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, my daughter-in-law will educate him well."
Lu Jianxin stood up and said, "Let's set breakfast."
Lin Jinrong handed Yilang to Pan, stepped forward quickly, held the rice with chopsticks, and served him carefully. Adhering to the rule of not saying anything when eating, Lu Jianxin finished his breakfast quietly and said: "Erlang's wife, please make arrangements.
Send people to the old house, invite four clan elders to come over, and say, I have something to ask."
Lin Yuzhen was a little proud. If the second wife wanted to ask the clan elders to do something, unless it was a special situation, she would have to be cautious. How could she have such a tone as Lu Jianxin? If you want to ask for advice, they should take the initiative to come to your door. This is the official identity.
The difference from Bai Shen! Even among Ding You, it is incomparable!
Lin Jinrong said: "Yes. My daughter-in-law will make arrangements right away."
Lu Jianxin nodded: "Let's go and say hello to the old lady."
After leaving the courtyard, he met Lu Mian. Lu Jianxin gently called him to his side and asked in a low voice. A large group of people lined up and headed towards Rongjing Residence. They met many servants on the way.
Someone came up to salute and say hello, and Lu Jianxin answered them all in a friendly manner, and also asked with concern about the other person's condition and health. He really had no airs at all, and was kind and approachable.
Lu Jianzhong was drowsy, half-closing his eyes and applying medicine to his old leg. Suddenly, Mrs. Song opened the curtain and came in: "Quick, quick, the eldest brother and his family are going to Rongjingju to pay their respects to the old lady. The old lady
Before I got up, the whole family was waiting on the porch. The third child also hurried over."
Lu Jianzhong was so frightened that he sat up suddenly. He couldn't help but get very angry and cursed in a low voice: "The boss is so disgusting! He is born to love pretending! He only has to pretend to be himself. The most disgusting thing is that he wants to drag others along with him!"
Who doesn't know that the old lady is seriously ill and needs to sleep a little longer in the morning. When they go to say hello, they always go when they can, but not when they can't. It's just for convenience anyway, and no one has said otherwise for so many years. Now Lu Jianxin
If you take the lead in this way, you can imagine that no one will have a good life in the future.
Mrs. Song hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, and arranged his mourning clothes: "Just wait and see."
After Lu Jianzhong finished dressing, Lu Shao and others also came. Yuanlang and Haolang followed behind him with sleepy eyes. Kang held Lilang in his arms who was crying because he didn't sleep well. Everyone looked sad.
Lu Jianzhong sighed. Since he didn't see Lu, he asked Lu Shao, "Where is your wife?"
Lu Shao hesitated for a moment: "She is not in good health..."
"No! Isn't it a long time since the confinement? She is looking for me to scold me! Let her come quickly!" Lu Jianzhong was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he started to attack Lu Shao.
Mrs. Song hurriedly advised: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Leave quickly."
A group of people rushed to Rongjingju in a hurry. The old lady hadn't gotten up yet, and Lu Jianxin was talking to Lu Jianzhong. Lu Jianzhong hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so early. I think my mother is not healthy."
Okay, I don’t dare to disturb you..."
Lu Jianxin said in a low voice with a straight face: "Second brother! I'm not telling you, etiquette must not be discarded! My mother is not in good health, so children must be more careful and considerate of filial piety! Filial piety is not just something you talk about casually.
." He glanced over and saw Mrs. Lu rushing from behind. He couldn't help but sneered slightly: "As elders, we should set an example. Otherwise, if we don't do it ourselves, how can we blame the juniors for not knowing the rules? Just give me a lesson.
What a joke!”
Lu Jianzhong secretly thought that it was bad luck, but he dared not speak out when he was angry. He turned around and glared at Ms. Lu fiercely.
