Lu Fenghe also said that Shen Nanxun had sent two ponies, one for each of Brother Bao and Sister Zhen. He was afraid that Sister Zhen would not be able to ride them, so he also sent a small wooden horse.
He also said that the children had fun yesterday, and Sister Zhen's pony was much better than her brothers and sisters.
Lu Fenghe's words were interesting, and the old lady was also happy to listen.
"Last night Brother Bao also said that he would go horse riding often. Although I promised him, I still feel uneasy."
Old Mrs. Lu praised Shen Nanxun again, "Shen Dalang is a stable person. If he can send a foal, the people who send it with him must be carefully selected, so there is nothing to worry about."
Lu Fenghe teased the old lady, "Seeing how grandma is praising Shen Dalang, those who don't know may think he is your biological grandson."
The old lady patted Lu Fenghe and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mr. Lu had indeed been listening to their grandfather and grandson's conversation.
"I think Brother Bao is quite good. He is very calm at such a young age. I went to Mengtang Hall a few days ago and there were many children whispering to each other. Brother Bao was the youngest, holding a pen and drawing one stroke at a time. I’m serious about it.”
"Grandpa, please don't praise him. He has only been in school for a few days and he deserves such praise."
"Master teaches me every day, and he also praises Brother Bao with me, saying that Brother Bao also writes well in Chinese characters when he returns home, and he also studies his books every day."
"This is true. I play for a while after the evening meal every day, then go back and write big characters by myself. Sometimes he even recites it to me and asks me if I recite it correctly." Lu Fenghe also said.
Mr. Lu said to Lu Fenghe with some disapproval: "You were lazy when you were a child, why are you forcing your children now?"
Lu Fenghe denied it repeatedly, "My grandfather has wronged me. I just told him when we went to Yangzhou that if we go to Yangzhou, we should ask the master to bring his homework with him. If the master says that he did not do well, then he will go there." I won’t take him out after that.”
Mr. Lu didn't quite believe it. Let alone a four-year-old child, even an adult like Lu Jiulang would be lazy and procrastinate when something happened. Mr. Lu had seen many students. Children had just entered school, and there was no need for restraint from their elders.
Lu Fenghe quickly explained why she forced her child. She didn't take the blame. She was someone who didn't like others forcing her. How could she go back and force her child?
"When I came back from Yangzhou, I never forced him. He went alone. Yesterday he said he wanted to go horse riding from time to time. I just mentioned his homework, and he took the initiative to say that he would finish his homework first and then go horse riding."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he said, "That brother is really good. You are a person who is not conscious about studying. It seems that you have followed Shen Dalang and know that you should take care of your own affairs."
Lu Fenghe curled his lips, thinking, he had cleared his grievances, why was he praised as Shen Dalang again?
Whose grandparents are they? Don’t they know how to educate their children?
Mr. Lu praised Lu Fenghe again and asked her not to be too restrained by Brother Bao'er.
Lu Fenghe felt aggrieved. Brother Bao was too steady, why should he blame her?
Then he talked about going to Kuizhou.
"Did your mother say when she would leave?" Old Mrs. Lu asked.
Lu Fenghe was stunned for a moment, "I didn't say anything, it's just after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Okay, I don't know about your mother, and I don't know about you either. When you tell a lie, your eyes wander everywhere."
Lu Fenghe looked at the old lady to show that he wasn't lying, "I really didn't say that."
"Your mother didn't say anything, but your mother has packed all the boxes and baskets."
Lu Fenghe laughed dryly, "It's not that we have to go there for a long time, and there are a lot of things. I was worried that I would be short of something and forget about that, so I have been packing it up one after another during this time."
"That's all. I'll tell your mother later that we can leave whenever we plan to. There's no need to worry about us."
Mrs. Zhao did talk about going to Kuizhou last night. The old man was suddenly and dangerously ill. It was inappropriate for her to leave at this time. Besides, their original plan was to go to Kuizhou as a family.
What Ms. Zhao meant was that she hadn't decided on a specific day to leave anyway. It wouldn't be too late to leave after the old man was well, and there was no rush.
"Grandma, please don't tell my mother about this. My father has such a temper. If my mother went to Kuizhou after knowing that my grandfather was ill, my father would definitely lose his temper. After all, this is not a big problem with my grandfather.
My grandfather is recovering well. If he gets well soon, my mother can go to Kuizhou with peace of mind."
Even though the old couple did not want their daughter-in-law to serve him, Lu Fenghe was right. His son was filial. If he found out, he would definitely get angry and give outsiders a reason to talk.
Lu Fenghe spent the whole morning with the old lady in the old man's study, until Brother Ba came looking for him, rubbing his eyes. The old man and the old lady were about to take a rest. Lu Fenghe led Brother Ba to send the old lady back.
, and then led Brother Bao away.
After going back and resting for a while, Lu Fenghe took Brother Bao and Sister Zhen to the old house again. This time she did not go to the front yard, but went directly to the garden where the family banquet was held.
Everything had been arranged for the family banquet, but the old man's illness disrupted everything.
For example, Xifu no longer comes, for example, the male family’s table is simply placed in the front yard...
Mrs. Lu felt that this was obviously a family dinner, but the male family members went to the front yard and the female family members were in the backyard. It didn't look like a family banquet.
Mrs. Lu suggested that the female family members should also go to the front yard. After the division of the house, there were many empty yards in the front yard. They were all members of the same family, and there was nothing inappropriate in taking matters into their own hands.
Family dinners always have to be together, whether in the front yard or in the flower hall.
The front yard is as good as the front yard. It is a big place and there are not too many trees. You can see the bright moon when you look up. There are no pavilions or pavilions. Children can run around without worrying about safety.
They changed the place and rearranged the arrangement, and the evening meal was a little later. By the time everyone had eaten and drank enough to talk, it was already very late.
Lu Fenghe drank some fruit wine during the banquet. He was not drunk but was dry. He packed up and lay down on the Arhat bed under the window. He opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The moon was full, but the family was reunited.
His father and brother are all alone in office, and there is also Shen Dalang. He should have mooncakes to eat in the northwest. Even if no one makes them, people around him will buy him a pack if the occasion arises.
Shoukang came in to say goodbye in the morning before Lu Fenghe went to the old house. In addition to the horses, horse breeders, and horse masters, he also left ten guards. Lu Fenghe hurriedly met the leader Zhou An, who was actually very strong.
man.
Lu Fenghe originally wanted to refuse, but Shoukang said that the master said it to the young master and the young lady.
Even if she is a mother, she cannot make the decision to refuse what a father gives to his children.
A baby who travels between school and home every day, a baby who can't even roll over, needs protection everywhere.
Lu Fenghe was holding a teacup and sipping warm water. It looked like he was admiring the moon. In fact, his thoughts had already flown nine days away. It wasn't until the candle burst the wick that Lu Fenghe came to his senses.
