At midnight, the night was cool and heavy with dew.
Except for the flickering light in the depths of the ancestral hall, there was no light around. The moon had already set in the west, and the sky was so dark that even the starlight seemed to be dimmed. Lin Jinrong gently poked Lu Yan's arm: "Aren't you tired from this? Knees
Doesn’t it hurt? Why don’t you save some energy and kneel down tomorrow? You’re not angry with anyone.” He asked her to rest, and he knelt down, and then he knelt down seriously. She never knew he was so cute.
"Don't make trouble." Lu Yan braced himself up and looked at Lin Jinrong. He was extremely exhausted, and his upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting. For a moment, Lin Jinrong almost suspected that he would fall down on the blue brick ground and fall asleep in the next moment.
, but he always wakes up at the most critical moment.
Lin Jinrong knelt down next to him again: "If you don't want to rest, I will stay with you."
Even though the light was dim, Lu Yan could still see the happiness shining on her face and eyes. She was very happy. Lu Yan quickly made a judgment and was infected by her relaxed and happy mood. Imagine if she complained and scolded her with a sad face.
What would it be like if they kept going? In this way, although the body's endurance has reached its limit, the mood is always happy, as if the two of them are doing something difficult to accomplish together, not being punished, but
Work hard together.
"Then take a rest." Lu Yan reached out and gently rubbed Lin Jinrong's hair. He could clearly feel his love for her and Yilang, and his cherishment of this kind of life. He knew that Lin Jinrong just wanted to
She just asked him to take a rest, so he pulled her to stand up obediently. The couple walked slowly along the yard several times and sat cuddling on the stone steps.
The night wind was so cold that even the meowing of cats could not be heard. There was silence everywhere, and the people around him exuded a quiet and warm atmosphere. If he was awake, it was the time when he wanted to talk to someone. Lin Jinrong put his hand on Lu Yan's
On his knees, he whispered: "It was winter in the dream."
She mentioned the old conversation again. Lu Yan understood that it was Lin Jinrong's excessive worry, but he also understood that she was seeking comfort from him. He put his hand on Lin Jinrong's back and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lin Jinrong said nothing, looking up at the stars in the sky in silence.
The first bird chirping came from outside the window, and Lu Jianxin sat up refreshed and stretched out comfortably. Hearing the sound, Aunt He hurried in from outside, hung up the curtains for him, and served him
After getting dressed and washing up, he asked gently: "How did you sleep last night, sir?"
"Hmm." Lu Jianxin responded speciously, frowning tightly with a look of sadness on his face.
Aunt He was good at observing people's words and immediately said cautiously: "Is the master thinking about the second master and the second grandma?"
Lu Jianxin didn't answer, but the worry on his face deepened.
Aunt He lowered her eyes and continued: "I sent people to see them earlier, and they were still kneeling. Everyone can be confused. Since they have realized their mistake, I will forgive them this time. After all, we are a family.
In the future..." She glanced at Lu Jianxin timidly and said in a low voice: "In the future, the master and his wife will have to rely on them to be filial and provide for their old age."
Lu Jianxin stared at her fiercely, and Aunt He quickly lowered her head, revealing a long, white neck, her eyelashes trembling slightly, looking sad and helpless.
Lu Jianxin withdrew his gaze from her neck and flicked his sleeves heavily: "Who asked you to intercede on their behalf?"
Aunt He refused to admit it: "It's nothing."
Lu Jianxin said: "I'm not asking for mercy that much. Go down, I don't need you to serve me anymore."
Aunt He's face showed a bit of panic and fear, and tears flashed in her eyes instantly, but she didn't say anything. She lowered her head, bowed quietly, and slowly withdrew. After a while, Xiaoxing left.
He came in, silently bowed to Lu Jianxin, picked up his sleeves and combed his hair. Lu Jianxin half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Madam, are you up?"
Xiaoxing responded sensitively: "I'm up, Ah Rou is helping my wife comb her hair." After a moment of silence, she carefully probed: "Aunt Fang asked the maid to ask the master, what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
What to eat? What can be eaten? It’s just some vegetarian rice and vegetables. No matter how well cooked it is, it can’t make a flower. Lu Jianxin said calmly: “Eat whatever you have.”
Xiaoxing could tell that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and whispered to the little girl standing by: "Tell Grandma Fang what I said to you."
After a while, Lu Jianxin finished dressing up, got up and walked to Lin Yuzhen's room next door. Lin Yuzhen had already finished decorating and was dazing under the lamp. When she saw him coming in, she stood up and gave way and asked habitually: "Did you sleep well?"
"
Although she had just woken up, she looked very tired. It was probably because she had not slept well after tossing and turning at night. Lu Jianxin knew what she was doing, so he didn't say much and just sighed softly.
Aunt Fang handed over an engraved celadon cup filled with Imperata root soup, and Lin Yuzhen hurriedly took it and handed it to Lu Jianxin: "Yilang is such a well-behaved kid. I went to see him before going to bed last night, and he also
He didn't cry or make trouble, he just refused to sleep. He looked around with his little eyes open. When he saw me there, he asked me, where is his mother and father?"
Lu Jianxin said nothing, took the carved celadon cup, frowned and looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly said: "I don't like this celadon cup."
Lin Yuzhen's face darkened.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, Grandma Fang hurriedly arranged breakfast. The couple ate breakfast in silence and rinsed their mouths. Lu Jianxin stood up and said calmly: "I'm going to listen to the Snow Pavilion." After that, he left.
Lin Yuzhen was extremely angry. Aunt Fang persuaded her in a low voice: "Madam, don't be anxious. If you really can't do it, please tell me."
Lin Yuzhen said angrily: "They don't worry about themselves. They scold and punish themselves. Who am I to worry about! One is willing to beat, the other is willing to suffer, what do you want me to do?! Let's go to Rongjingju."
Grandma Fang also shut her mouth tightly.
Lu Jianxin entered Tingxue Pavilion, picked out a book, sat down and read slowly. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and a ray of sunlight playfully squeezed in through the window lattice and fell on the book in front of Lu Jianxin.
He turned around slightly, turning away from the ray of sunlight. He saw a man standing at the door, with a face full of hesitation.
Lu Jianxin threw down his book in surprise and stood up, striding forward to greet him: "Third brother, why didn't you say anything when you came?"
Lu Jianxin let go of Tong'er's hand in embarrassment and saluted Lu Jianxin: "Brother."
Lu Jianxin helped him in with his own hands and said reproachfully: "Look at you, you are obviously sick, but you are still getting up and walking around. You are not afraid of catching the cold again and aggravating the condition. If anything happens, let someone come and tell me.
That’s it, I still have to make this trip myself, and when I come, I stand in the wind and don’t come in!”
Lu Jianli smiled dryly, but stopped talking.
Lu Jianxin enthusiastically arranged for him to be accommodated. After struggling for a long time, he said calmly: "Third brother, what's the matter?"
Lu Jianli stood up again, with a sickly flush on his cheeks, and whispered nervously: "Brother, it's really hard for me to say this..."
Lu Jianxin said nothing, but the smile on his face gradually faded.
Lu Jianli gritted his teeth and said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't have said this. Erlang and the others are really wrong and deserve to be punished, but..."
Lu Jianxin interrupted him calmly: "You think I don't feel sorry for him?"
Lu Jianli was shocked and said: "What are you talking about, brother?" Seeing that Lu Jianxin still had a sullen face and said nothing, he turned around and walked out frustratedly: "I lost my sense of proportion, brother just pretended that I had never been here.
"
Lu Jianxin's eyes were heavy, and when he had already reached the door, he stopped and whispered: "Third brother, are you out of sight?"
Lu Jianli then stood still and looked at him tentatively.
Lu Jianxin looked frustrated and sad: "I know you will all blame me for being cruel, but when I first learned about this, you don't know how sad I was!"
Lu Jianli felt ashamed: "Brother, that's not what I meant. They are really wrong. I just..."
Lu Jianxin walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "No need to say more, I understand. We are brothers." After saying this, he turned to Zhu Jianfu and called out: "Go and invite the second master and second grandma over."
Zhu Jianfu hurried away.
"Brother!" Lu Jianli was so grateful that he was speechless.
Lu Jianxin smiled and asked him: "If you are energetic, come and play chess with me. I am very lonely."
How could Lu Jianshe have the nerve to stay here and wait to see Lu Yan? He hurriedly excused himself: "I should take medicine."
Lu Jianxin didn't leave him alone. He saw him supporting Tong'er and walked back slowly to sit down. After sitting for a while, he called out: "I'm not feeling well."
Zhu Jianfu led Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong, who had difficulty moving, to Tingxue Pavilion and found out that Lu Jianxin had returned. After calling Tong'er to ask, he explained to Lu Yan with a smile: "Second Master, I didn't sleep well all night. It's probably because of
Gout strikes again."
Lu Mian was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Let's go over and visit his old man."
Zhu Jianfu breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the inner house, the flames of war could no longer burn him. To be honest, it was hard to guess what Lu Jianxin was thinking. He refused to listen to his family's pleas to him, and insisted on waiting for Lu Jianxin to intercede. But Lu Jianxin
, and it really came.
Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong arrived outside Lu Jian's new house. Seeing A'rou standing on the porch, they asked A'rou to go in and report. Shaoqing, A'rou came out and said awkwardly: "The master is taking medicine and it is inconvenient to see guests. Please invite the second master and
Second Grandma is waiting outside."
Both Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong knew that Lu Jianxin was deliberately trying to show off the two of them, so they stood waiting at the door. After a long time, the steward brought in his usual doctor Zhang. Not long after entering, Ah Rou came out happily: "
Second Master, please come in."
Lu Yan's legs were already numb from standing, and he moved in step by step. Just as he was about to salute Lu Jianxin, Lu Jianxin said calmly: "No need to be busy, take Dr. Zhang to show your third uncle."
"Yes." Lu Yan responded and whispered: "I wonder how my father's health is?"
Lu Jianxin ignored him and said "Uh-huh", waving his hand for him to leave.
After Lu Ming had gone, Arou asked Lu Jianxin cautiously: "Master, Second Grandma..."
Lu Jianxin sneered and lay down.
Ah Rou didn't dare to say anything anymore, and neatly arranged the bedding for him with her hands and feet, then quietly lowered her hands and set them aside.
After a long time, Xiaoxing came in and whispered: "Master, the third master refused to see a doctor and did not see the second master. The third wife was holding the second master to cry."
Lu Jianxin waved his hand lazily: "Let the Second Mistress go back." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation
