Chapter 373
Sun Zhongyuan asked about Aunt Zhen's affairs again, knowing that she was fine, he showed a reassuring smile on his face, and bowed to Li Meier again, saying: "It is thanks to my sister that you have been by Aunt Zhen's side all these years. , so that she will not be so lonely when she grows old."

Li Mei'er turned sideways quickly, avoiding his salute, and said: "This is what us juniors should do. I really dare not accept the gift from Young Master Biao."

"Okay, you two don't have to be so polite, sit down and talk. Ah Zhen must be very relieved to know that you all miss her so much." Old lady Lu said to the two with a smile.

Sun Zhongyuan sat down, and the old lady Lu asked him about his recent studies. Li Meier saw that everyone's attention was finally diverted from her, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little. Looking forward to the end of the chrysanthemum viewing soon, she doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lu is old after all, and her energy is low. After talking for a long time, she is also a little sleepy.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li said goodbye at the right time, so she asked Second Mrs. Lu to send them off in person. Before leaving, she specially asked to send them two pots of chrysanthemums. Mrs. Li thanked her so much that she couldn't see her eyes with smiles.

When leaving from the Lu family, Mrs. Li couldn't help complaining to Jiang Shi and Li Meier in the carriage, "Although it's my first time here, I think his old lady is a good person, and she is kind. Second wife, it looks a little tricky, but it's not easy to get along with."

Li Meier has gone through a lot of science popularization by Wang Ru, and now she has a little understanding of the Lu family's family affairs, so she said to her: "I heard from Sister Ru that this second Mrs. Lu is used to being top-notch. The boss of the Lu family and the boss Three used to be officials outside. Later, Uncle Lu was demoted because of some things, so he returned to his hometown, but the second master Lu and his wife have always been filial in their hometown. Mrs. Lu is old and not in good health. Well, the matter in the mansion is not decided by these two couples."

"Didn't you say...then Second Master Lu is a concubine?" Mrs. Jiang also knows something about the Lu family. She also met the second wife Lu when the Zhuang family married their granddaughter-in-law last time. At that time, she thought she was quite nice. Dear.

"Although it is a concubine, it seems that the birth mother died when she was born. The birth mother was originally a maidservant next to Mrs. Lu, so she was raised by Mrs. Lu since she was a child, and she is similar to her own." Li Meier explained again.

"That's still a problem. After all, it didn't crawl out of my own stomach. I don't believe that old lady Lu is so selfless and raises the child born to my concubine as her own." Mrs. Li curled her lips and said nonchalantly.

Li Meier also agrees with this point. She heard Aunt Zhen talk about Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, and she knows that Mrs. Lu admired Mrs. Lu very much when she was young. Other women have children with other women.

The three of them wentssip about the Lu family and returned home quickly. Mrs. Li was also tired today. After drinking a bowl of almond tea, she went back to her room to rest.

After all, Mrs. Jiang is young, so she doesn't feel tired. She went to see Brother Jian in the house, but she didn't see her son for most of the day, he was already thinking about it.

Li Meier also accompanied Jiang Shi to play with Brother Jian for a while. Brother Jian will be one year old in two months, and now he can call a lot of people, his father, mother, grandmother, and sister can all call him very clearly.Now I want to learn to walk even more, and I walk around holding things all day long. As long as the bun is not looking at it for a while, it is easy to fall.

Brother Jian is not weaned yet, but he can also eat some complementary food.At noon, because of Mrs. Jiang's absence, he didn't have a good meal, and now he asked the cook to steam a cup of steamed eggs with milk for him to eat.After eating a small bowl of custard, Brother Jian babbled and wanted to eat it.

Li Mei'er couldn't help laughing, so she broke another small piece of steamed milk cake for him, and he also ate it fragrantly and sweetly.Before he knew it, he ate another piece of steamed cake, and Jiang stopped him from eating it, fearing that he would accumulate food after eating too much.

Brother Jian started to feel sleepy when he was full, so Jiang wanted to sleep with him for a while.Li Meier left the room.

Naturally, Li Mei'er was not idle, she made arrangements for dinner, and then went to the Wang's next door.

Mrs. Wang was still a little surprised when she saw her. Why did she come to the door just after the festival? call her."

Li Meier did not forget to explain, and said with a smile: "Today, I was invited by the old lady of the Lu family to enjoy flowers at her house. When I left, the old lady Lu gave me two pots of precious chrysanthemums. I know that sister Ru always loves chrysanthemums, so I thought Invite her to go and have a look."

When Mrs. Wang heard that Li Meier was invited by the Lu family, her attitude immediately became more enthusiastic. She took her hand and said affectionately: "I just said that you are promising, sister Mei, and you are actually appreciated by Mrs. Lu. You have to teach our sister Ru well, if she can learn how attractive you are, then I can wake up laughing from my dreams."

Li Meier nodded with a smile, but felt a little embarrassed in her heart, hoping that Wang Ru would come out quickly.

Fortunately, Wang Ru lived up to her expectations and came over soon. Knowing that Li Meier invited her to enjoy the chrysanthemum, she was also very happy, so she took her hand and was about to leave.

But Mrs. Wang hurriedly grabbed her and said: "You girl, why are you so rude? Where can I go to someone's house empty-handed? Let Lian Er go to my house and get a box of bird's nest from your grandmother, and you take it with you. To the old lady of the Li family."

Li Meier immediately waved her hand and refused, "Auntie, no need, what is the relationship between me and Sister Ru, why do you need to see others like this, you should keep the bird's nest for yourself to eat."

Mrs. Wang still had a smile all over her face, and said: "I know you are good with Sister Ru, and you always think about her when you have anything to do. Don't our family have to reciprocate, just some bird's nests, worthless ones, you take them. It would be nice to let your grandmother make up for it."

"Sister, you can keep it. My grandmother sent a lot of bird's nests." Wang Ru persuaded with a smile.

Li Meier didn't say anything more, but she couldn't bear the enthusiasm for Mrs. Wang.

On the way to Li's house, Wang Ru asked Li Mei'er in a low voice, "Did you say something to my mother? There is something wrong with her enthusiasm today."

Li Meier was a little helpless, so she told Wang Ru the truth.

Wang Ru couldn't help laughing after listening, "No wonder, I just said, although my mother likes you on weekdays, she is not as attentive as today."

"Actually, Mrs. Lu is just looking at my aunt's face, otherwise she wouldn't take me as a country girl seriously." Li Meier spread her hands and said helplessly.
