The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 729 I Don't Dare To Recognize That

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter and hotter. Although the Zhen Guogong Mansion not only had an ice cellar, but also stored a lot of saltpeter that could be used to make ice, naturally there would be no shortage of ice.

But Lu Mingyang has old cold legs, and the old couple are getting older, even if the room is stuffy, it is not good to use ice too much, the night is so hot that it is difficult to sleep peacefully.

This made Lu Mingyang miss the natural climate of Leyou Mountain Villa very much. He remembered that they were in Leyou Mountain Villa a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival. Character.

So two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Mingyang went out for a stroll, and when he came back, he asked people to pack up and prepare to go to Leyou Mountain Villa to cool off the summer heat.

No need to think about it, the old man must have invited someone to go with him to the Leyou Villa when he went out on a hot day, and he didn't know how much trouble he would cause to the villa.

Su Yunduo was very much in favor of Lu Mingyang going to Leyou Villa to cool off the summer heat, after all, the temperature there is indeed very suitable for the elderly to escape the summer heat, and besides, it is close to the city, so as long as the sun is not hot and the pepper leaves early, there will be no trouble on the road.

So Su Yunduo turned around and persuaded An, who was obviously too lazy to move, why not go to Leyou Mountain Villa to escape the summer heat.

An's, however, does not want to make trouble anymore. Unlike Lu Mingyang, she can invite some three or five people to go to the villa with him, play chess and fish with him. Speaking of which, Lu Mingyang's going to Leyou Villa is even more lively than living in the city comfortable.

But for an old lady of An's age, there are very few people who can let go of the affairs of the house and the inner courtyard, so even if she invites her intentionally, no one can let go of everything and go with her to live in Leyou Villa for ten days and a half months. Mrs. Lu has also made it clear that she will not go to Leyou Villa again in the short term.

Su Yunduo understood that Mrs. Lu didn't want people to make irresponsible remarks, and at the same time, she didn't want to always go to Leyou Villa to occupy resources and cause trouble for others.

Regarding Old Madam Lu's thoughts, Su Yunduo expressed helplessness but could understand. Apart from sending more ice to Dongmingfang, she could only let them go.

The excitement around Lu Mingyang is not for An's sake, as long as he thinks about going to Leyou Villa and only talking to the people around him, An's will naturally lose interest in staying in Leyou Villa.

In the mansion, at least her daughter-in-law would accompany her to talk, and her granddaughter would be around her knees. Even if she couldn't sleep well at night, she would admit it, anyway, it was like this in previous years.

Su Yunduo pondered An's idea carefully in his heart, and discussed with Lu Jinkang. In private, he had to ask a few aunts what they thought, to see if they could spare time to go to Leyou Mountain Villa for summer vacation in rotation, and by the way accompany Accompany Ann's.

Although this suggestion is good, several aunts also have such filial piety, but they each have their own difficulties, and they are a little hesitant for a while.

Su Yunduo sighed helplessly, he couldn't force the aunts, so he could only think of another way.

She really didn't want to see An's sleepless day and night, but she herself was busy with work recently, even if she wanted to live in Leyou Villa for a while, she still had more than she could do.

On the day of Dragon Boat Festival when I returned home from the bank of Mozi Lake, I received an urgent letter from the northern city. The letter was sent to Su Yunduo through a special channel by Yang Aoqun. Apart from a simple greeting letter, it was a thick purchase list.

This time Yang Aoqun asked Su Yunduo to help her prepare goods, in addition to the products of "Yunshang", there are also toiletries from Yujiefang, fruit wine from Leyou Winery, and preserved eggs from Songhuazhuang.

Su Yunduo ordered these goods according to Yang Aoqun's request, and the stewards in various places prepared them according to the order.

It's just the next season's new product of "Yunshang", but Su Yunduo has to do it himself.

Because Su Yunduo has a lot of facts about the Dragon Boat Festival, he can't be distracted to design the new products of "Yunshang" for the next season. These days, Su Yunduo handles the daily affairs at hand, and basically buryes his head in Xiaofengyuan's study. Design the new product of "Ella".

Otherwise, I really want to spare myself and go to Leyou Villa for some leisure time, and do my filial piety by An's side by the way.

Since the aunts were busy and he couldn't spare time, Su Yunduo turned his attention to the two young sisters-in-law, that is, Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya who lived in the side courtyard of Zhenghe Hall.

Although the little sisters have already started learning in the boudoir school in the mansion, because they are still young, they only spend half an hour a day reading and writing, and another half hour learning female celebrities, most of the time they still play.

The girl who can read and write is popular, An's and even Wu Momo and Cuizhu around An's can give some pointers, even if she leaves the boudoir school for a month or two, it will not affect the little sister's learning progress.

So Su Yunduo suggested that An's take the two little sisters to Leyou Mountain Villa, it would be more comfortable than staying in the mansion where the heat is stuffy and they dare not use ice, An's heart was a little moved.

But asking her to take only Lu Yuya and Lu Yujiao to escape the summer heat made An Shi feel a little embarrassed.

Lu Mingyang and An's have nine grandsons and six granddaughters.

The youngest grandson, Lu Jinshu, who is the fourth wife, is also eight years old this year. Boys of this age have naturally started to study. Even if the Zhen Guogong's family inherits martial arts, reading and writing is still necessary.

The ages of the six granddaughters are quite different. Except for the eldest granddaughter Lu Yuhua who is married and the second granddaughter Lu Yumin who is also engaged, the other granddaughters are all about the same age, between six and seven years old. word stage.

Although the third girl, Lu Yuhui, and the fourth girl, Lu Yuqi, were both raised by their mothers, and the third girl was not even related to An's blood, but An's treatment of the grandchildren in the mansion was considered equal in name.

Taking Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya to escape the summer heat, and leaving Lu Yuhui and Lu Yuqi who are about the same age in the house, without having to meet the two little girls' staring eyes, An's heart is already very sad.

But bringing four little girls all at once, even if they were surrounded by nurses and maids, An Shi felt a lot of pressure.

Seeing the hesitation on An's face, Su Yunduo couldn't help but glanced at the people present, and finally found the clue, and couldn't help but secretly slandered her own carelessness in her heart.

The second girl, Lu Yumin, has been sitting quietly behind the third aunt, Yang, and from time to time she leans sideways to take care of the third girl, Lu Yuhui, who is obviously a very patient and caring sister.

The third girl, who was fairly quiet on weekdays, seemed a little anxious today. Looking carefully, there seemed to be tears in her eyes. From time to time, she looked at Lu Yuya and Lu Yujiao with envy, and secretly looked at Su Yunduo. Deeply wronged.

Su Yunduo immediately understood that Lu Yuhui was very envious of Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya who were suggested by her to go to Leyou Mountain Villa with An's to escape the summer heat. Her eyes were shining brightly saying that she also wanted to go to Leyou Mountain Villa to accompany her grandmother.

Su Yunduo glanced at the fourth girl Lu Yuqi, who was leaning against the fourth lady's arms, and found that the fourth lady was whispering something to Lu Yuqi, and Lu Yuqi's face was full of envy and grievance just like Lu Yuhui.

Su Yunduo couldn't help stroking her forehead. It was true that she didn't handle this matter well, but she really made the third and fourth girls feel wronged!

An's is the grandmother of the sisters, not just the grandmother of Lu Yuya and Lu Yujiao, besides, a girl of this age is the one who loves comparisons the most, how can she favor one person over another?

No wonder An Shi was so hesitant!

However, if An Shi is allowed to bring four six or seven-year-old girls to live in Leyou Villa, no matter how big Su Yunduo is, he will naturally be worried, and I believe the aunts will not be at ease either.

It is clear proof that the fourth aunt Zhao, who is always quick to talk, only whispered to comfort Lu Yuqi, but did not ask Lu Yuqi to follow An's to Leyou Mountain Villa.

Su Yunduo cast his eyes on Lu Yumin who was whispering to Lu Yuhui.

Lu Yumin married Ji in Dongyue last year, and in March this year, she made an engagement with the nephew of Yang's natal sister-in-law. The wedding date is tentatively scheduled for September this year, which means that she will be married in four months. Now she is bored almost every day. Embroider dowry in the house.

Speaking of which, the girls in Zhen Guogong's mansion are really good at martial arts, and none of them are really good at needlework. They say they are bored in the house embroidering dowry, but they are just covering their whites in the house.

In this case, it is better to let Lu Yumin go to Leyou Mountain Villa to have a good time together. If you are not happy before you get married, how can you be happy when you are married and become a daughter-in-law? Su Yunduo is already lucky, but even she has many When there is no other way.

When Su Yunduo proposed again that all the girls in the mansion go to Leyou Mountain Villa with An's to escape the summer heat, Lu Yumin's eyes lit up, and when she looked at Su Yunduo, "I can go too?" was written in her eyes, That surprise expression really made Su Yunduo feel a little happy, which shows how aggrieved she was by being locked up in the house during this period of time.

Mrs. Yang, who was turning around to tell her youngest daughter to live better, naturally also saw the expression on her eldest daughter, and couldn't help being both funny and heartbroken. That's all, if the old lady doesn't object, let her go and have a good time with her, which happens to help Let the old lady take care of the younger sisters below.

There are several sons in Zhen Guogong's mansion, and only the second house has no daughter. Second uncle Lu Yue and second aunt Fang have three sons. Although they have been working hard, they have been silent since the birth of the eighth son Lu Jinyu. The longing for Xiangruanruan's daughter made Fang more tolerant and fond of the girls in the mansion.

At this moment, seeing that Mrs. An was obviously moved by Su Yunduo's words, Mrs. Fang simply added to the fire, and saw her put her hands together and said: "That's very good, every sister is the most patient, and she is the one who knows how to take care of her in the house on weekdays." sister's.

Let sister Min go with her mother, plus their respective nurses and maids, mother just needs to sit in the shade to enjoy the family relationship, and it happens that sister Min can go to relax for a few days. "

Lu Mingyang was very happy when he learned that An Shi would continue to accompany him to live in Leyou Villa this time.

Although he also has a concubine, he has always respected An's first wife very much. As he grows older, this respect is also mixed with some inexplicable and complicated feelings.

But when he learned that there were girls from the mansion going with him, he felt a little bad. In his eyes, the little girl was the most troublesome, the kind of creature who would cry when he didn't like it, but he was stunned. After a long time, seeing the burning eyes of the granddaughters and An's kind and joyful eyes looking at the granddaughters, he couldn't say anything against it, so the matter was settled like this.

Because there are a few more girls on this trip, Su Yunduo still felt a little worried after thinking about it, so he personally sent them to Leyou Mountain Villa again, just in time to see the conditions of the red bayberry wine and mulberry wine that were brewed or brewed last time , In addition, according to the situation of brewing wine this time, see if we can make a series of brewed wine.

"You don't worry about grandma and them, you just took the opportunity to come to the winery to see the wine!" Lu Jinkang, who had a day's rest, followed Su Yunduo to the winery, joking with Su Yunduo on the way.

Su Yunduo rolled his eyes at the sky, even if this is the truth, is it really okay for Lu Jinkang to say it so clearly?
However, when facing Lu Jinkang, Su Yunduo said solemnly: "I don't dare to admit my husband's words. If I hadn't come with me, do you think the placement of the sisters can be so smooth?"

Lu Jinkang couldn't help but choked, this is really true.

The little girls fell in love with the bamboo buildings and wooden houses of Leyou Villa last time. The weather was colder last time. It is said that the temperature of Leyou Villa is slightly higher than outside, even if it is in the four corners of the bamboo buildings and wooden houses They all put charcoal basins, but because the bamboo buildings and wooden houses are too transparent, it is too cold to live in them in winter, so when I came last time, all the little girls were forbidden to live in bamboo buildings and wooden houses .

This time, everyone is scrambling to live in bamboo buildings and wooden houses, but the guests who come to Leyou Villa for summer vacation also like bamboo buildings and wooden houses. There are only a few bamboo buildings and wooden houses in Leyou Villa, so naturally they cannot satisfy the little girl. wishes.

The disappointed eyes of the little girls made Su Yunduo very unbearable. After discussing with Shen Bao, they suspended the reservation of bamboo houses and wooden houses. After the guests left, they first satisfied the wishes of the little girls.

Although doing so would inevitably cause Leyou Villa to lose some revenue, but listening to the cheerful laughter and joyful faces of the little girls, Su Yunduo felt it was worth it.

Although the brewing time of bayberry wine and mulberry wine is not long, Su Yunduo is very satisfied with the effect.

During this period of time, the bayberry soaked in daily wine has become the new favorite of Leyou Villa, which has added a lot of color to Leyou Villa, but it is not easy to store bayberry. Although Leyou Villa has two large ice cellars, the bayberry that can be stored is still limited. However, it has only been launched for half a month, and there are not many red bayberries left in the ice cellar.

This is something that can't be helped, although Su Yunduo feels regretful, he also understands that some things cannot be forced.

It's better to make more other wines while the purified wine is still in the hands of the winery.

This time, Su Yunduo came here to have an excuse to deceive others, so he specially went to talk to the genius doctor Gu Zhu, and launched a series of medicinal wines by asking for advice, including single medicinal wines such as wolfberry wine and ginseng wine, and also used for healing Compound medicinal wine for bruises.

Lycium barbarum has the functions of nourishing weakness, replenishing essence, removing cold wind, strengthening yang, stopping tears, strengthening waist and feet, etc. Drinking wolfberry wine properly every day can strengthen muscles and bones and prolong life.

Ginseng wine nourishes the Qi in the middle, warms the blood vessels, invigorates the vitality, and treats all deficiencies.It can be used to treat physical weakness after old age or illness, impotence, fatigue, lack of appetite, and loose stools.

The compound medicinal wine used to treat bruises is a prescription agreed upon by Su Yunduo and the genius doctor Guzhu. It can be taken internally and externally to treat bruises.

In addition, Su Yunduo and Zhang Ping'an discussed adding several kinds of brewed fruit wines, so that the fruit wines of Leyou Winery will also form a series.

Only in this way, there is a certain gap in the refined wine of the distillery.
