Originally, Gou Shun was not in a hurry to return, but he brought the four pages of big calligraphy written by Brother Bao and the paintings painted by Lu Fenghe that had not had time to be framed. Gou Shun didn't want to stay any longer, and he had to send the things back quickly.
As for the Lu family's return gift, Gou Shun felt that there was no better return gift than a few pieces of paper in a bamboo tube in his arms.
Brother Bao and Sister Zhen both yawned and went to sleep, and Gou Shun also bid farewell to Lu Fenghe.
"So fast? It's so tiring traveling and traveling. It's not too late to rest for two days before leaving."
Gou Shun thanked Lu Fenghe for his kindness and said, "I just came here to deliver the holiday gifts. Now that the holiday gifts have been delivered, I should go back and resume my life early."
Lu Fenghe was a little embarrassed, "I can't let you go back empty-handed."
"The eldest lady is out of town, and I met Mr. Saburo on the way here. If I go back with a gift in return, I will definitely be punished."
Lu Fenghe persuaded and persuaded Gou Shun to bring some snacks and fruits from Piling to eat on the way.
"If I have the chance, I will take Brother Bao'er and Sister Zhen back to see the Prince and Princess." Lu Fenghe said.
Gou Shun nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, the prince is thinking about his two young masters."
None of them would have thought that Prince Dingxi would see his grandchildren so soon. Of course, this was a story for another day.
As I was sending Gou Shun out, I happened to meet Lu Balang who was coming back.
Lu Balang and Gou Shun exchanged pleasantries for a while. The brother and sister sent Gou Shun off together before Lu Fenghe asked.
"Why did myna come back so early today?"
Lu Balang's face was very gloomy. Lu Fenghe had never seen such an expression on Lu Balang's face.
"Seventh brother said he was coming over, I want to see what he was going to say when he came over?"
"The second aunt and the third sister-in-law have already been here in the morning. I haven't seen the second aunt, but the third sister-in-law has come to see me. She just said those words. Don't take it to heart. The whole family has not seen each other..."
They are all elders. Lu Balang couldn't help but cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family. Did Mrs. Lu Qi ever treat us as a family?"
Lu Fenghe comforted Lu Balang, "Okay, don't be like this. Mom should be worried. I don't think it's a problem. Anyway, I live my own life behind closed doors. Face is not important. What's practical is the benefits inside."
.”
"Everyone has a face." Lu Balang was walking outside. His understanding of fame was completely different from Lu Fenghe's. "You can't stay away from home all the time."
Lu Fenghe smiled, "Brother is in trouble, isn't he? I never said that I won't go out anymore. How can I live my life? They have their mouths and they can say whatever they want. I have to answer them."
Follow their path."
"That's not the case."
"Brother, even if the seventh brother brings the seventh sister-in-law to apologize, so what, if the words are spilled, the seventh sister-in-law can still go to every family to explain that she is talking nonsense? I will not forgive her, but I won't forgive her either.
She would feel sorry for herself for this, and if I ignored her, it would be boring."
Lu Fenghe lived a confused life in her last life and didn't understand many things, but she also understood one thing.
Rumors are terrible, and indeed people kill without blood.
However, no sword can defeat fearlessness, and as long as you don't care, rumors and rumors won't hurt you at all.
In her previous life, she cared too much about reputation. Apart from making people praise her when talking about her, what else can a good reputation bring? It cannot be used as food or clothing, let alone other things.
"Brother, I really don't care what people outside say about me. I figured it out when I came back with you and my children. What I still care about now is probably that those words were spoken by the seventh sister-in-law."
Yes, what Lu Fenghe cares about is not being slandered, but that the hurt comes from someone she thinks is a relative.
Lu Balang wanted to reach out and pat Lu Fenghe's head like he did when he was a child. When he raised his hand, he realized that his sister was not much shorter than him. If he wanted to pat her on the head, he had to raise his hand very high.
"But I think my grandfather might be more unhappy about this than me," Lu Fenghe said.
Lu Balang nodded, "Who can say otherwise? Grandpa didn't even go to the academy in the morning."
"Don't wait for Brother Seven to come. Change your clothes and go visit your grandparents. Dad is not at home, but you are the backbone of our family."
Lu Balang bared his big white teeth and said, "Even if my father and brother are at home, I am also the backbone of this family."
"Yes, yes, it depends on your ability. How about I go with you? I can't bear to deal with them."
"No, you should stay and deal with it. I'm afraid my mother will be set on fire again. You always have to deal with them once."
"Hey, okay, I steamed the water chestnut cake in the morning, and Gou Guanshi took some away. You can bring some to grandma to try later. There is less sugar this time. Grandma will like it."
Lu Balang had no better idea at the moment, so he simply asked Chang Sui to send a letter to Lu Jiulang. As Lu Fenghe said, the two youngest of them have now become the mainstay of the family. Apart from such things, there is no need to talk about it.
The old man always wants to visit his grandparents when he wants to get an idea.
Speaking of the fourth wife, the fourth wife doesn't like to socialize, and she has children to take care of. She rarely goes out to visit relatives on weekdays. If she doesn't have to find a suitable young lady for Lu Jiulang, she will spend ten and a half days.
It’s common not to go out for a month.
Madam Lu Wu has not yet been able to sit still, and has never left the house since she found out she was pregnant.
Jiulang is a single man, so naturally no one talks to him about these matters between mother-in-law and aunt.
Lu Jiulang saw Lu Qilang go to the entrance of the academy and turn back in the morning before asking Lu Balang what happened.
Seeing Lu Jiulang's confused look, Lu Balang couldn't help but tell him the matter.
Although Lu Jiulang was angry, he was still able to restrain himself.
Once the father and brother left, there were four less people, four people who could become wives after passing the Jinshi examination.
Originally, spring was just around the corner, and Lu Jiulang could just concentrate on his studies, but with fewer people, the masters couldn't be busy at all, so Lu Jiulang had to take on more work.
Lu Qilang is back again. If he just turns around and leaves, there will be no chaos in the academy in the morning.
Lu Jiulang took advantage of the break at noon to go back, hurriedly talked to the fourth wife about the matter and hurried back to the academy.
Mrs. Lu Si was angry, but she had more important things to do at the moment, so she didn't stay angry for long. Anyway, there were elders and the third family above, so it was not her turn to take the blame.
Lu Balang changed into his old clothes and was about to go to his old house, when he met Lu Qilang's carriage at the entrance of the alley.
Each other's coachmen were also familiar with each other, so the two brothers raised the curtain to see each other.
"Brother Qi is here? Come in, my mother and He mother are both here." Lu Balang spoke first without giving Lu Qilang a chance to ask him questions.
After saying that, Lu Jiulang lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to move the car to the side. As soon as the car staggered, Lu Jiulang's carriage suddenly accelerated and trotted out of the alley.
Lu Qilang frowned and watched Lu Balang's carriage turn quickly onto the road, feeling mixed in his heart.
I have a lot to do during the day, so I can only write at night
