"Auntie, don't worry, I'm not stupid. I didn't tell you this because you were the one asking. I promise not to tell anyone else if they ask me." Erya patted her small chest, and a smile appeared on her cute little face.
Put on my most stern expression and promise.
The three of them didn't say a few words before Xiao Zhao and Yun Bo came in carrying the meat. Li Wanrou stood up and walked towards the two of them, extending her hand to help lift the meat. Yun Bo refused. Uncle Yun took a piece of fat and thin meat directly.
He put it on the chopping board, said hello to Li Wanrou, left the kitchen, and went to chop firewood again.
Xiao Zhao and Li Wanrou began to prepare dinner for the evening.
Jixiang Town, Hong Confucian Academy.
Master Lu's house is a courtyard with two entrances. In the front is a room for students to attend classes and for Master Lu to correct their homework and read books. There are four rooms. There are corridors around the rooms. The backyard is where Master Lu and his wife's daughter live.
The dining hall, reception room, etc. are all here.
Because Mrs. Lu also has a young daughter who has not yet left the palace, the backyard is dedicated to entertaining guests and resting for the family, which is separated by a wall, leaving only an arch in the middle that leads to the courtyard of the young daughter of the Lu family.
On the recliner in the side hall of the dining hall, Madam Lu had already sobered up. Madam Lu also arranged for the servants to put dinner on the table, fetched water herself, and served Madam Lu to wash up. She handed Madam Lu a face towel while scolding her.
This Master Lu.
"You, it's true, you still drink even if you can't. You're lying here until night, and your head still feels uncomfortable?" Although Mrs. Lu complained, she was still worried about Mr. Lu's health.
"Hey, this is not a rare visit for students. I was happy to have a few more drinks. I didn't expect...hey...I am getting old. Madam, don't worry, my husband is fine." Master Lu shook his head and sighed.
"That's good, but having said that, Zihou's family should be well off. They can afford two people to study, so they must be rich. They have two brothers, their parents are here, and their relationship is not bad. Do you think we can support our family?
Son, how about betrothing Zihou to Zihou?" After Mrs. Lu finished counting Mrs. Lu, she rolled her eyes and asked Mrs. Lu casually.
After hearing Madam Lu's words, Master Lu dropped the cloth in his hand into the basin. He looked stunned. Then a surprise appeared on his face. He turned around happily and said to Madam Lu: "Madam, you are so smart. Why don't you, husband?"
I thought that Zihou was someone I had grown up watching. His conduct and character were all right, and he was also a talented person. He was a good candidate for son-in-law. Oops...Why didn't Madam tell me during dinner today? If she had told me then,
Maybe we can settle it directly." Master Lu said with some annoyance and regret.
Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at Mr. Lu and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Even if you have that intention, you can't rush it. Besides, our daughter doesn't know yet. We don't need to ask Xin'er's opinion first. We'll wait until she has her intention."
"That's right, Madam is absolutely right. It's my husband who has been careless. When Xiner comes over later, you can ask her." Master Lu was very considerate to Madam. Accompanying the smiling face, the two of them joined hands and walked to the dining table to sit down.
Next, let’s wait for our little daughter to eat together.
Not long after, a tall woman with an extraordinary temperament wearing a green overlapping skirt walked in. The woman looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was very good-looking. Although she was not stunning, she was not.
She has a big oval face with willow eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a tall and small arched nose, and a small cherry mouth. She has the appearance of a classical beauty. The most rare thing is that she has a scholarly air and is very elegant. After the woman came in, she looked at Master Lu and Lu
The lady stroked her body and said, "My parents have been waiting for a long time."
"Xin'er, come sit down, come to Mom." Madam Lu greeted Lu Xiner with a smile on her face and asked her to come and sit down.
Lu Xiner obediently sat next to Mrs. Lu. After watching Mrs. Lu move her chopsticks, she picked up a piece of lotus root and put it into Mrs. Lu's bowl.
"Mom, you eat." Lu Xin'er was very filial and took the food to Mrs. Lu first.
The three of them had dinner in harmony. After the meal, Master Lu went to the study on the pretext that he had something to do.
There were only two people left in the room, and Mrs. Lu said: "Xin'er, your father's student came to visit him today. Mom thinks that man is very good. His character and appearance are first-class, but I don't know.
Do you have any ideas?" Ms. Lu took Lu Xiner's hand and said earnestly.
"Mom, I don't even know who that person is. What do you want your daughter to think?" Lu Xiner's face suddenly turned red when she heard what Lu said, and she said to Lu in a coquettish voice.
"You should know this man. After he was admitted as a scholar last year, he came to our house to thank your father. At that time, you were leaving your father's room. When he came in, you two accidentally bumped into each other and almost hit you. Later,
It was he who helped you to prevent you from falling, do you still remember?" Mrs. Lu brought up this incident again, which made Lu Xin'er think of someone at once.
At that time, she happened to come over to deliver cakes to her father, and her mother was also there. Unexpectedly, the servants knew that her father's student was a scholar, and he was very happy.
When I saw that person's face, I thought it was pretty. Later, I found out that when the person helped her, he was also very modest and a gentleman. He didn't do anything extraordinary and his eyes were very pure. He even took the lead to apologize to her and asked her if she was injured, so that she would always remember it.
Yu Xin, now that she is listening to the person her mother wants to tell her is him, her heart suddenly beats so fast. If...if it is this person, then...that would be good, right?
Thinking of this, her face turned even redder, and she said sheepishly: "Is this Mr. Yun the mother is talking about?"
"Yes, that's him. Today, your father gave him a nickname, which is thick. Now this child is working as a teacher at home. His parents are also open-minded. If you think it's feasible, mother, let your father ask.
What do you think?" Ms. Lu looked at her daughter nervously, worried that if her daughter didn't want to, then she would have to look for her again, but there were really not many such good candidates. Her daughter would be ten next year.
She was eight years old. In other people's homes, she was married at sixteen and became a mother at seventeen. Her daughter had not yet been settled, so she was worried.
"A daughter is completely at the mercy of her parents." Lu Xiner also knew that her parents were worried about her marriage. She thought that if they were to be husband and wife in the future, if this person was Yuntian, she felt that she would be very happy.
"Okay, okay, mother will tell your father when she comes back. I happened to hear that Zihou's uncle's family owns an escort agency in our town. I'll ask someone to ask about it later." Mrs. Lu finally settled a matter in her mind.
I was so happy that I wanted to ask immediately.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Master Lu also heard the answer from Mrs. Lu, and felt relieved. The two took a shower and prepared to go to bed to rest. They would have to go to bed tomorrow.
Go to the trustee and ask.
The Yun family, Yuntian didn't know that there was such a thing in his mentor's family. He was eating dumplings at the moment. The dumplings made by Li Wanrou and Xiao Zhao were well received by the Yun family. Even the past life was not the end of the world.
Before, Yun Xi, who rolled his eyes at the mention of dumplings, was also full of praise: "The dumplings made with water celery are delicious. Mom, you can eat them too."
Yuntian: "Why do I feel like I have overlooked something and can't remember it? What on earth is it? Forget it, there seems to be nothing else important besides asking Guobao to show me the "immortal skills". Well,
After dinner, go find your good niece."
Yunnan and Tong also returned to Yun's house. Yunnan also brought back a small bag of something unknown and secretly put it back in the north wing of the main house.
After dinner, Old Man Yun secretly approached Yun Xi, and the two of them secretly went to the old place in the backyard. Old Man Yun asked Yun Xi: "My dear, can you plant some flowers and plants at home for your big brother to use?"
Yun Xi's eyes lit up, her grandfather was indeed a smart old man. She had hinted twice in the past two days, and her grandfather thought of planting flowers and plants at home.
"Grandpa, my dear, you can plant them. My dear, you can make the flowers grow really well."
"That's okay. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, your brother and I will go to the mountains to find some seeds during the day, and dig some wild flowers to plant at home." Old Man Yun nodded happily.
The two of them sneaked back to the front yard. When old man Yun returned to his bedroom, Yun Tian, who had been hiding aside and waiting for Yun Xi, caught the opportunity and appeared in front of Yun Xi with a swish.
Xi was so frightened that he almost reflexively treated Yuntian as a zombie. Fortunately, he realized that it was his brother-in-law, so he put away his fully charged fist.
Yuntian: "." I didn't know that I had wandered around the edge of death.
"Third uncle, what are you doing? You scared me." Yun Xi put his hands on his hips dissatisfied and said to Yun Tian angrily.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's not that Third Uncle has been waiting for me all night and day, but it's time to wait for your own time. Let's talk about it. You can show Third Uncle your "immortal skills"
"Okay, please satisfy Third Uncle's curiosity." Yuntian said his request cautiously with a flattering look on his face.
