Chapter 46
"Why are you so happy when you have a visitor in your house?"
Pingye smiled, so Lin Yunwan asked her, and heard Pingye say: "A guest is here. The guest wants to give Madam a gift."
Taoye asked with a smile: "Are you really doing this? Why are your eyelids so shallow?"
Pingye stuck out her tongue: "I just feel bored. There are guests at home, it's lively. It's better than watching that every day."
She pointed in the direction where Ge Baoer lived.
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly: "Don't be too happy too early, the guests may not be easy to get along with."
Pingye looked curious: "Madam, you have never interacted with the Xia family, how do you know they are not easy to get along with?"
How could she not get along with him?
In the previous life, Lu Jia only came to stay for a short time, but her son and Brother Qing almost turned the house upside down. What happened was quite a big deal. They almost went to the palace in alarm.
Lin Yunwan explained casually: "When I got married, Aunt Jiajia came back. You were still young at that time and don't remember anything. Although we only dated you briefly, you can tell that you are a domineering person."
Pingye didn't believe it: "This is the Lu family. My aunt is already married, not to mention..." She whispered: "I am still a commoner. How dare I put it in front of you!"
But after hearing what Lin Yunwan said, she became wary and did not dare to take it lightly.
Arrive at Yushoutang.
Lin Yunwan went in with two maids to say hello: "Old madam, mother-in-law."
The small hall was already full of guests, and next to Mrs. Lu sat a younger old lady. She was slightly thinner than Mrs. Lu, with long and thin cheeks, and she looked very serious.
She is Lu Jia's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia.
"Yun Wan, come quickly and meet Mrs. Xia."
Mrs. Lu waved to Lin Yunwan, and she walked over to say hello: "Junior has met Mrs. Xia."
With such a serious face, Madam Xia actually laughed, took Lin Yunwan's hand, and said affectionately: "My dear niece-in-law, I often hear your aunt talking about you at home. Now it seems that you are indeed a good person. "
Lin Yunwan replied politely: "It's my aunt who praised me so much."
Mrs. Xia gave her a pair of jadeite bracelets, which had a very good water quality. The light from the flower window filtered through, making the bracelets as clear as water.
"This... is too expensive."
Lin Yunwan didn't want to accept it and was about to go back. Mrs. Xia stopped her and took off the bracelet from her wrist. She held her hand tightly and said, "I have heard about Lin's Qingliu in Yu. Your father's name is even more famous." It's like thunder. The old man in our family is full of praise for your father. If you don't accept it, you will look down on my Xia family."
It turns out that he came here because of his father’s reputation.
Lin Yunwan couldn't resist the kindness, and after accepting a pair of bracelets, she slowly recalled that not only did the Xia family come from a scholarly family, but Mrs.
So Mrs. Xia looked at her alone.
"The old lady really loves Yun Wan."
Lu Jia came up from behind, her long black hair tied into a woman's bun, and her sharp eyebrows, which looked a bit like Marquis Wu Ding.
But his personality is a bit narrow, and he said this as if he was jealous.
Mrs. Xia's face darkened and she didn't say anything.
After all, in the Lu family, she still had to take Lu Jia's face into consideration.
"Great aunt."
Lin Yunwan turned sideways and kissed her.
Lu Jia smiled and said: "This is my meeting gift. It is not as valuable as my old lady's. Brothers and sisters, please don't think it is frivolous."
Lin Yunwan asked the girl to take the brocade box and said, "How could it be possible? The courtesy, whether it is light or heavy, is all my aunt's heart. She only cares and is not frivolous."
Lu Jia also laughed: "No wonder my old lady values my younger siblings. They are very considerate in what they say."
"Okay, be more polite in front of the elders and stop talking all the time."
Mrs. Xia gave Lu Jia a serious look.
Lin Yunwan raised her head and looked over. If Mrs. Xia was usually serious, now she was a little bit mean, with an indescribable stern look in her eyes.
Lu Jia's fierceness pales in comparison to that of her mother-in-law.
"……yes."
Lu Jia retreated to the side and stood quietly with her sister-in-law and nieces, not daring to interrupt again.
Mrs. Lu felt very uncomfortable.
Wei also felt uncomfortable.
This is the Lu family, what does it mean to train their girls!
But it’s not wrong for someone to discipline their daughter-in-law, and their mother-in-law’s family can’t say anything.
"Why don't you see Mr. Xia?"
Mrs. Lu suddenly asked.
Mrs. Xia said: "He is an unmarried man. It is not good for him to enter the inner courtyard."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "We are all one family. It doesn't matter if relatives meet and recognize each other."
"Then I will ask him to pay your respects to the old lady next time."
After Mrs. Xia agreed with a smile, she also asked: "Why don't you see the prince? But you have no time today?"
Her youngest son is a foreign boy, but Lu Zhengliu is not.
Logically speaking, when the eldest sister comes home, he should come.
Madam Lu mumbled: "I have official duties, but it's time to come back."
She winked at Yan's mother.
Yan's mother was not easy to talk to either. She had already sent someone to spread the word to Lu Zheng. Why hasn't the prince come yet at this time?
It shouldn't be.
Everyone was talking and laughing in the room, and Yan's mother quietly went out to find Lu Zhengliu in person.
Although she was out on business, Yan's mother was really relieved.
She muttered: "...I have never seen such a difficult old lady." Mrs. Xia seemed to be very strict and not easy to mess with. She felt out of breath even standing there, let alone what great aunt Jiada was living in the Xia family.
Yan's mother searched around but couldn't find Lu Zhengliu.
Fortunately, when she returned to Yushou Hall, the Xia family had already settled in the guest house, but she heard a burst of crying.
Lu Jia cried inside: "Old madam, mother... Jia'er is finally back to see you."
Madam Lu was also distressed. After all, she was the only young lady in the house, and they loved her like jewels back then.
Mrs. Wei advised: "Okay, stop crying now. Otherwise, you won't go back and let your mother-in-law see it and say something wrong about you."
Lu Jia wiped her tears.
Mrs. Lu also complained a few words: "Your mother-in-law is too strict about rules and despises human kindness. After all, you are also the eldest daughter of our Lu family. To scold you like this in front of us, you really don't take the Lu family seriously." inside."
I dare not spread this word.
Lu Jia quickly defended her mother-in-law: "My mother-in-law is not that kind of person. Although my father-in-law is expected to be promoted to the cabinet in the future, my mother-in-law will not look down on our Lu family just because of this. She just can't tolerate a daughter-in-law who doesn't behave as a woman." .”
"Forget it, I've been a wife for so many years and I'm used to it."
She wiped her tears.
"Cabinet? Can your father-in-law really join the cabinet?"
Madam Lu suddenly became excited.
Speaking of this, Lu Jia was also proud. She smiled and said: "I'll tell you and my mother quietly, although my father-in-law is not of high rank now, he is a confidant of an adult. This time he has done very well in foreign affairs. I will wait for him when he comes back." Promoted. Within three years, my father-in-law will have a place in this capital."
"If one day someone in the cabinet resigns, my father-in-law will stay up sooner or later."
"When father-in-law retires, he will be my husband..."
Mrs. Lu's eyes shone brightly, and she became more and more attracted to the granddaughter in front of her.
She said to Lu Jia sincerely: "After all, your brother will not be in the guard for a long time. If he can step in front of the elder Ge and the emperor, our Wuding Marquis Mansion can be proud and proud."
"Even if you weren't at home, you should have heard about the situation our Lu family fell into seven years ago..."
"Jia'er, you can't write two characters of "Lu" in one stroke. The Lu family's respectability is your dignity. Your brother and nephew have become successful, and the Xia family will not dare to treat you so casually and lightly."
Lu Jia nodded: "Grandma, I know everything you said."
"But grandma, what happened to the nephew you mentioned? Why did the family let my brother adopt two children?"
Mrs. Lu pushed Wei away and then told Lu Jia the truth: "Brother Qing is your nephew. From now on, you must make Brother Zhuo and Brother Qing as close as brothers."
Lu Jia was shocked for a long time before saying, "Grandma, I understand."
"Grandma, who is Brother Qing's biological mother?"
Mrs. Lu said, "...he died outside."
Lu Jia nodded and said, "This is a good thing. Even if she doesn't die, you can't let her live."
At night, after Lu Jia left, Mrs. Lu couldn't sleep at all.
"What happened to the broom star?"
Yan's mother said: "It's fine."
Mrs. Lu sighed: "It would be better if I died of illness." She was worried: "Don't let her cause any trouble. The young Lu family will have to rely on the Xia family in the future."
Yan's mother said, "Even if we don't rely on the Xia family, our Lu family can't lose its reputation."
As soon as the two of them came together, Mrs. Lu said: "As soon as the Xia family leaves, we will settle the matter between her and Zhengliu immediately. Keep an eye on her, and don't allow her to come out until the Xia family leaves."
"I know, it's getting late, please rest."
Mrs. Lu asked again before going to bed: "Where is Zhengliu? Why haven't I seen him all day?"
"I haven't found the prince either. He will come to pay your respects tomorrow. You can go to sleep first."
Mrs. Lu lay down and fell asleep.
She had no idea that Lu Zhengliu didn't show up and was going to see Ge Baoer.
