"Cuizhi, Cuizhi, come and help me change my clothes."
Shen Nanxun held down Lu Fenghe who was about to go out to greet someone, "Madam, please be safe. I will pick her up immediately."
After telling Cuizhi not to let Lu Fenghe go out, he took Fu'an out and also caught Brother Bao'er.
Cuizhi also quickly advised, "Madam, don't be anxious, my wife will be here soon."
Shen Nanxun asked Fu'an what was going on while walking.
"I watched people carrying Grandma Gao out of the corner door. Before the door was closed, she was held down by someone from the Lu's store. The concierge recognized that it was someone from the Lu's store and thought she was here to deliver a letter or something. It’s a gift.”
"I just stayed a few steps. I happened to come to Bailu Garden, so I brought him in with me."
"As a result, the people in the shop said that their second wife and several husbands had already disembarked. Come and tell my wife that they will come over later."
"As soon as I heard about it, I stopped him and asked a few questions. The people in the shop didn't know. He was also temporarily assigned to deliver the letter."
Lu Jianuo is a big family, and no one is in the official position. It is impossible to support so many people with just one academy. Naturally, the Lu family has people who are doing business.
If Lu Zhan, Lu Fenghe's grandfather, is the leader of literati, then Lu Zhan's younger brother, Lu Che, is the hidden richest man in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Even Lu Fenghe didn't know much about these things. Shen Nanxun also met Lu Che by chance when he was out on business after Lu Fenghe came in. Later, he sent someone to find out the general idea after a lot of effort.
On the surface, the Lu family was only engaged in the business of selling goods from the south to the north, and then opened a few bookstores and paper shops to meet the needs of their own children and earn a little money.
In fact, the Lu family controls several key inland canals and the docks along the way. According to his investigation, several well-known inland shipyards have the Lu family's shadow.
No matter how much more, Shen Nanxun had no intention of knowing and had no way of investigating.
He married Lu Fenghe, not a daughter of the Lu family.
It would be better if the Lu family could help. If not, he could still protect his wife and children.
It's not too close from the Prince's Mansion to the pier outside the city. Fortunately, there's only one road, so it won't go astray.
As soon as he left the inner city, Shen Nanxun was about to mount his horse to speed up, when he met two gentlemen of the Lu family.
"Brother Lu Fourth, Brother Lu Jiu."
The other party walked away for a few steps before slowing down and stopping. Looking back, hey, it was indeed them who was calling.
Taking the first step with two long followers were Lu Fenghe's brother, the fourth son of the Lu family, Lu Jing, and Lu Fenghe's youngest cousin, the ninth son of the Lu family, Lu Jiu.
Lu Ding recognized Shen Nanxun at a glance. After all, he was his brother-in-law, but in terms of familiarity, Lu Balang, Lu Jue and Shen Nanxun were considered best friends.
If you really want to talk about it, Shen Nanxun and Lu Ding are about the same age. Before Shen Nanxun met Lu Fenghe, the two people often argued about whether they should call them brother because they were only about a month apart.
After Shen Nanxun met Lu Fenghe, he stopped arguing and consciously called him Fourth Brother Lu Ding, who was more than a month older than him but not as tall as him.
After greeting each other, Shen Nanxun asked: "Where is my mother-in-law?"
"Mom is waiting for the carriage at the dock. Let's go to the city and settle down."
Fortunately, Shen Nanxun asked to hitch a carriage when he went out. As soon as he spoke, the carriage that was lagging behind also caught up.
"There is no need to arrange it. You should go back home first or come with me to pick up my mother-in-law."
The two brothers winked at each other, and finally Lu Ding was defeated.
"Well, Dalang, you go pick up your mother first. Jiulang and I will clean up the yard first. There are many of us."
Shen Nanxun frowned, "What yard? Of course there are people in the house to take care of it."
Lu Ding smiled and said, "I rented a yard..."
Shen Nanxun was not surprised, "Retreat and go directly to the prince's mansion."
"Dalang, there are many of us."
"The whole family is here?"
Lu Ding waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no..."
"There is no reason for you to rent a house even though the whole family is here. Turn around and go pick up your mother-in-law."
Lu Silang was very embarrassed. He naturally knew that when he came to Kyoto to visit his sister, it was not impossible to live in his sister's house, so there was no reason to rent a house to live elsewhere. But he also knew that his mother had been wronged in the house three years ago, and her mother could not live in it. 7 is also a very strong person.
Lu Jiulang didn't know the whole story. He just assumed that he rented a house alone because there were too many people coming to his house and he didn't want to trouble others too much. For him, it didn't matter where he lived.
The carriage had already gone to the pier first, and Lu Silang couldn't defeat Shen Nanxun, and he was taking a chance that Shen Dalang was in Beijing, so the previous incident would not happen again.
When he arrived at the pier, Shen Nanxun realized that what Lu Silang said about the large number of people was really not an excuse. There were many people standing in the corner of the pier. There were five or six women wearing curtains and hats, and there were also people coming and going to serve them. maidservant.
Lu Silang walked straight to a man wearing a curtain hat and sitting beside him, holding his brother, "Mom, I met Da Lang halfway."
Shen Nanxun hurried forward to say hello, "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law is late."
Mrs. Zhao had some feelings, but she had no reason to express her anger, "It's okay, He Niang is fine."
"Everything is fine, Mother He. I know my mother-in-law is coming, and I wish I could come and greet her in person."
"When did Dalang return to Beijing?"
"Arrived only in the evening of Dragon Boat Festival."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, it's not too late, it's not too late.
"The sun was shining brightly at noon. My mother-in-law got in the car first and went back to the house. Mother He must have been anxiously waiting."
Mrs. Zhao turned to look at Lu Silang. Lu Silang pretended to talk to Lu Sanlang and did not meet his mother's eyes.
Shen Nanxun could only go up by himself, "Now that we have arrived in Kyoto, how can we let my mother-in-law rent a house to live in? She should have entered the house by herself. Mother-in-law should not blame the fourth brother."
Lu Silang's wife He, who had been following Mrs. Zhao, stepped back at the right time and said, "Grandma, when are we going to see my aunt? I miss my aunt, and my cousins from my aunt's family."
In the end, it was my daughter's face and longing for her that overcame the indescribable knot in my heart.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "That's all, let's go see He Niang first."
After Shen Nanxun and Zhao had finished greeting, they greeted each other with the two sons of the Lu family next to them. One was Lu Erlang, Lu Yu, from Lu Fenghe's uncle's family, and the other was Lu Sanlang, Lu Yu, from the second cousin's uncle's family.
At present, there are only two direct branches of the Lu family in Piling, and the others have been divided up long ago. The eldest family belongs to the branch of Lu Fenghe's grandfather, Lu Zhan, and the second family belongs to Lu Che.
Among them, the third son of the eldest family, Lu Fenghe's father, Lu Zi, was the second, and the second son was the son of the second family.
But when it comes to Lu Fenghe's generation, it may be that recuperation is really useful. There are nine brothers in this generation. Although Lu Fenghe is the eldest, she is the youngest among the brothers and sisters. Therefore, Lu Fenghe also has a nickname among his sisters.
There were a lot of people coming from the Lu family on this trip, but it made sense. A daughter of the Lu family had a daughter, and a husband came to visit her sister who was married far away. He also brought his wife and children with him. There was nothing wrong with that.
Shen Nanxun intuitively felt that this was not a coincidence, he was afraid that there were other things to do.
Shen Nanxun only brought two carriages, and it was a bit difficult to take away all the women and children together, so he could only take away Zhao, the second wife and a few children first.
As Lu Fenghe's biological sister-in-law, the fourth lady had to comfort the third lady across the room, "I'm sorry, third sister-in-law, I'm afraid Dalang Shen didn't expect so many of us to come."
