Chapter 73
Today is Brother Qing's birthday party, but Mrs. Xia is obviously more concerned about Mrs. Lin's affairs.
"Madam, can you see the light in your eyes?"
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "I can see better now, thanks to your brother."
Mrs. Xia was also very happy: "We are all relatives, as we should."
Lu Jia was much more honest next to her, taking care of the concubines and concubines, and no longer interfered with her parents' affairs.
At first glance, it seems that I have learned a lesson during this period.
Zhu Qing couldn't help but whispered to Lin Yunwan: "Madam, my aunt is very haggard."
Lin Yunwan glanced at Lu Jia. She looked not only haggard, but also mentally and physically exhausted.
Zhu Qing covered her mouth with a handkerchief and continued with Lin Yunwan: "I heard that my uncle's concubine is very powerful and knows how to find people's shortcomings. My aunt Jiada is always so angry with her that she jumps off her feet, and my uncle and Mrs. Xia don't do it either. Help her. She has met her match."
Thinking of Lu Jia's sarcastic words, Lin Yunwan didn't sympathize with Lu Jia at all.
They were talking happily, and Lu Changgong and Lin Yunyi were also very close, playing Go in the flower hall.
Lu Changgong doesn't know how to play chess.
Lin Yunyi said patiently: "Uncle will teach you. Your mother will also teach you in the future. Maybe we can play chess next time I see you."
Lu Changgong said modestly: "My uncle is good at everything. I want to play chess with him next time we meet. I think it will be difficult."
Lin Yunyi smiled.
It feels really good to be an uncle!
He took out a box and said, "This is for you."
"What?"
Today is not his birthday, and Lu Changgong feels that he should not accept the gift.
Lin Yunyi said generously: "You can continue as soon as I give it to you. My uncle loves his nephew, as he should."
"Thank you uncle."
Lu Changgong first asked Tao Ye to help collect it.
When the banquet was about to begin, Lu Zhengliu and Wei also came over. The two of them either came together or bumped into each other on the way.
Mrs. Lu smiled and asked Lu Zhengliu to come over, and said to Brother Qing, "Why don't you meet your father soon."
Brother Qing is the birthday boy today, and everyone is finally looking at him.
Brother Qing stood up and bowed to his father.
Lu Zhengliu also gave him a jade pendant.
Brother Qing forgot to pick it up and stared outside the flower hall, but still couldn't see his mother.
"Brother Qing?"
Lu Zhengliu frowned. Relatives came to the house today. His grandmother and uncle were both there. How could he be distracted and rude?
Brother Qing took the jade pendant and forgot to say thank you. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "Father, Ge, why isn't Aunt Ge here yet?"
Lu Zhengliu gave him a cold look.
Brother Qing didn't dare to ask.
"Okay, everyone, take your seats!"
They are all members of the same family, but men and women sit in separate seats, not separated from each other.
As soon as Lu Jia sat down, he asked, "Why don't you see Cousin Ge?"
She didn't ask provocatively, she just said something without thinking, her voice was neither loud nor quiet.
Zhuqing happened to hear it, and she whispered: "My aunt doesn't know, she has been sick since last time, and I'm afraid she won't be able to come today."
Lu Jia just asked casually and didn't take it seriously.
"It turns out he's sick."
Zhuqing suddenly laughed and muttered: "Maybe he is going to die. Who knows."
die?
Mother is going to die?
Zhu Qing's joke didn't scare anyone else, but it scared Brother Qing to death.
No wonder my mother touched his face like that, she wanted to die!
He didn't care whether there was a banquet or not, he left the table and ran away like a gust of wind without saying anything.
He doesn’t want his mother to die!
"What is this kid doing? His uncle doesn't even care when he talks to him!"
Mrs. Lu frowned. Lin Yunyi was also a very knowledgeable young man. It was rare for him to have a few words with Brother Qing. Why did he suddenly run away!
Moreover, today is his birthday party. His aunt took great care in organizing it for him and even invited the Lin family over. Why is he so rude?
Once word spreads, the reputation will be ruined.
"cough."
Lin Yunyi put down his chopsticks with a cold expression. His sister's second step-son is really inferior to Chang Gong. In the middle of what he said as an uncle, did he run away in fear as if he had seen a ghost?
Lu Zhengliu had a stern face and ordered: "Bring Brother Qing back to me!"
The prince became angry, and the ladies and maids didn't care where he was from or where he was working, and they all went after him.
Lin Yunyi stood up and said: "I scared him away, so I should chase him."
Lu Zhengliu thought it was too rude, so he persuaded him to keep him: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about him. A servant will pick him up and come back to apologize to you."
Lin Yunyi said calmly: "There's no need to mobilize too many troops, I'll go."
Anyway, this little nephew looked bad at first glance, and he was an adopted child, so he didn't take it seriously, but he didn't want his sister to look bad today.
Let the big things be reduced to the small ones.
Since his brother-in-law was so polite, Lu Zhengliu had to act more decently and make sure Lin Yunyi stayed away. He frowned and said, "This kid used to be a bit spoiled. No matter what, I want him to come over and apologize to you today."
His attitude was too tough, and a small matter suddenly became a big issue. Mrs. Lin said, "Forget it, he's just a child." She also heard that this little adopted son is not easy to control. If something happened in the end, wouldn't it cause trouble for her daughter?
Lin Yunwan stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Lin Yunyi had always been protective of his sister. He came out and said, "Sister, I'll go with you."
Lu Changgong was also going. He said, "My brother and I are easy to talk to. My advice may be useful."
Just like a bunch of gourd vines, one or two went there, and finally even Lu Jia and Zhu Qing went. However, Lin Yunyi was a foreigner after all, and it was inconvenient for him to wander around the house, so Lu Changgong stayed with him.
Lin Yunwan took Lu Jia and Zhu Qing out to look for someone.
I heard the wives say: "Master Qing ran to Yuxing Pavilion first, and then went to the garden."
Brother Qing heard that Ge Baoer was not in Yuxing Pavilion and had gone to the garden with his personal maid. He was frightened to death and Sayazi chased after him.
Sure enough, I saw his mother and the maid diving together.
On such a cold day, two people fell into the water together.
He doesn’t want anyone with no status, no real mother or brother!
He just wants his mother!
Brother Qing knelt on the shore and cried at the top of his lungs: "Mom! Help my mother! Save my mother!"
Seeing Lin Yunwan coming, he crawled to her feet and knelt: "Mother, please, save my mother! My mother is drowning! Save her!"
Everyone who followed was dumbfounded.
Lin Yunwan frowned and said, "Who is your mother?"
Zhuqing's eyes widened and he couldn't wait to ask: "Are you saying that Aunt Ge is your... biological mother?"
Brother Qing cried and nodded: "She is my mother. Mother, please save my mother quickly." He continued to kowtow to Lin Yunwan.
Lu Jia twitched the corner of her mouth, and her face looked ugly.
Ge Baoer is actually brother Qing's mother?
In other words, Brother Qing is the child her brother had before they got married?
Before marrying a wife, you must have a wife--
God, she thought Xia Ji was a bastard enough, but she didn't expect her younger brother to be even more bastard!
