Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 116
Picking up chestnuts the next day, Xu Qiuer lay in bed and refused to get up, the reason being that her wrist was injured.

Mrs. Li was furious. It's okay to not have a niece and daughter-in-law. It's okay to pamper her daughter once, but her niece and daughter-in-law are all there to help. What's the matter with her daughter?

Listening to her mother's nagging, Xu Qiu'er felt a little guilty, but she really didn't want to see Yan Jing again, so she made up her mind.

Everyone in the Lu family in Donglin Village was still waiting, and Mrs. Li didn't have time to spend time with her daughter. Ningxiang Guanping tried to persuade her, so she patted her daughter's quilt again and left angrily.

Ningxiang looked at her cousin before leaving the house, and always felt a little strange.

When she arrived at the chestnut garden, Ning Xiang's thoughts returned to Lu Cheng, guessing that it was almost time, she led Anan to drink water again.Because I made an appointment with Lu Cheng yesterday, today I don't need Xu Qiu'er's help to cover it up. As soon as Ning Xiang stepped into the sand orchard, Lu Cheng lured her to a secret place, saving the time to talk to and from the spring.

Yesterday he relieved a little lovesickness, but this time Lu Cheng didn't hug her as soon as we met.Taking the initiative to sit under a fruit tree, Lu Cheng took his son and put it in his arms, motioned Ning Xiang to sit opposite him, and asked as naturally as possible: "Qiu'er is really sick? Could it be the little girl's lazy excuse?" ?”

He believed Yan Jing's words, Xu Qiuer didn't doubt that he helped Yan Jing, but he wanted to know if Xu Qiuer had complained to Ningxiang.Firstly, he was afraid that Ningxiang would misunderstand that he made bad friends, and secondly, he wanted to speak out for Yan Jing. After all, he was a good brother, and Yan Jing had been silent since he found out that Xu Qiuer was not here this morning. Lu Cheng could see that Yan Jing I really moved my heart.

The cousin is a little lazy, but Ningxiang doesn't want her fiancé to think the same way, so she supports Anan and lets him mischievously step over from Lu Cheng's crossed long legs to her side, smiling at the little guy, and softly answering Lu Cheng's question. Cheng, "Qiu'er is not lazy. Last time I worked so hard picking sand fruits. This time I broke my wrist, otherwise it must have come."

"It's gone!" Hearing what his mother said about Shaguo, Anan raised his head and told his mother, pointing to the Shaguo tree with only leaves left on top of his head.

Ning Xiang burst out laughing, and asked Anan to sit on her left lap. She supported the boy's shoulder with one hand, and held his little hand with the other and asked him, "Where did all the Shaguo go?"

Anan was smart, looked at his mother and said, "It's sold!"

"Who did you sell the money to?" Ning Xiang continued to ask.

Anan smiled and pointed at his father.

Lu Cheng deliberately leaned his head towards Ningxiang's head, tilted his head against the top of Ningxiang's head and asked his son, "Then who will Dad earn money for?"

Ning Xiang was not as thick-skinned as him, so she raised her head.

Anan grinned, Xiaopang pointed to himself, "Give it to Ananhua!"

Lu Cheng kissed his son, "Can Daddy do it for Auntie?"

Anan nodded obediently, looked at the small purse hanging around his neck, lifted it up and stuffed it into his mother's arms, "Give it to auntie!"

The money he earns is also given to his aunt.

"Good son!" The son knew how to be filial to his mother at such a young age. Lu Cheng stretched out his big hand and lifted his son high.

Anan likes to play like this, giggling.

Afraid that his son's laughter would be heard, Lu Cheng raised his son twice, put his son on his lap and continued to hug him, staring at the little girl with gentle eyebrows and bowing her head shyly when he looked over, Lu Cheng felt itchy, and from his sleeve Pulling out the cloth belt prepared in advance, he bowed his head to coax his son, "Daddy blindfolded Anan, and then blindfolded mother later to see who can keep his eyes closed for a long time."

Ning Xiang gave him an annoyed look, and turned her head with a blushing face.

This man is really, in order to do bad things, he came up with this way to fool Anan.

Anan didn't know that his father was so bad, so he believed it and closed his eyes forcefully.

Lu Cheng quickly blindfolded his son, then stood up slowly, pulled his fiancée who was sitting still with one hand, and touched Anan's head with the other, and said very seriously: "Anan hugged Daddy's thigh, Daddy tickled aunt first, she If you admit defeat, Daddy will release Anan."

It was fun to tickle, Anan hugged his father's calf and happily bit his father's pants twice.

The son bit him, Lu Cheng bit his wife, and pulled Ningxiang between him and the tree trunk, pressed against him and kissed.

He takes advantage of his mouth, but his hands are dishonest.

Anan couldn't see anything, Dad moved his feet forward a little, and he staggered to follow.Mother hummed softly from above, and Anan knew that his father was tickling mother. Although he didn't understand why mother couldn't laugh after being scratched, Anan still listened with gusto.After a while, he seemed to hear his mother pushing his father again, and his father's legs moved forward again.

Doesn't mother want to be scratched by daddy?

Anan didn't like his father and uncles yelling at him.

"Daddy!" Anan shouted, not wanting Daddy to bully Mother.

Lu Cheng was working hard, he didn't hear his son's voice, he broke through her obstruction with his big hands, and got in from under her shirt.

Ningxiang couldn't hold back, all her strength was exhausted, she was dizzy in his hands, and she didn't notice that Anan called her daddy.

"Daddy." Anan called Daddy in confusion.

Ning Xiang gave Lu Cheng a hard push, and quickly walked around behind the tree, tidying up her clothes in a hurry.

The son is good at everything, but at this time he is not a rarity.

Tao Hua looked at her son, but in her mind she still felt more erratic than being drunk just now.

Anan couldn't understand what his father said, so he turned his head and looked behind the tree, wanting to find his mother.

"Let Anan come over, you go first." Ning Xiang said sullenly, not wanting to see him for a short time.

"Xiang'er, there is still time..." Knowing that she had packed up, Lu Cheng went to find her with his son in his arms. People had already started to frown and dislike his son, Lu Cheng sighed resignedly, and put Anan on the ground.

Anan immediately went to find his mother.

Ningxiang squatted down, picked up Anan and walked back.

Lu Cheng didn't chase after him any more, and watched his wife go away. After a long, long time, he lightly licked his lower lip as if thirsty.

Let her escape, and see where she can escape on the night of her marriage.

Wu's family harvested chestnuts, and Ningxiang's persimmons were also picked.

The big yellow-orange-orange persimmons were picked for two days in a row, and all the persimmons were picked out. I picked a few that were too hard and dried them on my windowsill, and those that were too soft or not very good-looking, such as being strangled by branches. For the ones with scars, it was almost a small basket, five for the Zhang family and five for the Liu family, and the rest for Lu Cheng to take back and distribute to relatives over there.

Just at the end of the month, Ning Xiang also prepared twelve persimmons by herself, put them in a small basket, and told Lu Cheng softly when he came in to carry the persimmons, "Go to Madam Li's house, Mama takes good care of me." Many, in previous years, when the persimmons were ripe, I would send her to try them out, and then I would ask my mother to bring two to Suyue. Every time Suyue writes a letter, I will send me something, so I can only give her something grown at home."

Lu Cheng almost touched the basket with his hands. Hearing this, he straightened up, looked at Xu Shouliang and his son who had just walked out with the basket, and Mrs. Li who was about to enter the gate. He frowned and said to her, "It's okay to send Madam Li. Su Yue, forget it, she lives in the Hou Mansion, is there anything she wants to eat, and she still needs two persimmons?"

It was hard to get rid of Pei Jinghan, he didn't want Ningxiang to have anything to do with the Zhenyuan Houfu.

Ning Xiang understood Lu Cheng's concerns and was not dissatisfied. She lowered her eyes and explained softly: "I can leave the house thanks to Su Yue's help. I don't know when I would be able to come out without her. She said that I don't have to give She wrote letters, but she wrote to me every month, but she didn't receive a single reply or gift. She really won't be disappointed? Don't worry, I have discussed it with Su Yue. Every month and the beginning of the month, Su Yue will Go find Li Mama while he's away, and won't let him know."

Lu Cheng didn't know anything about the affairs in the Hou's mansion. Hearing that she was so confident made his chest even more congested.

She knew everything about him, but during her four years in the Hou Mansion, he had no clue and couldn't even imagine it.

The man's face was sullen, his majestic appearance he rarely showed after they were together, Ning Xiang was a little scared, but she really wanted to give something to Su Yue, after thinking about it, she lowered her head and said: "Forget it, you have to hurry Delivering persimmons is very busy, tomorrow I will go to the fork in the road to ask Guo Laosan..."

"I'm angry with you, aren't you?" Lu Cheng snatched the basket from her hand, staring at her with peachy eyes.

Ning Xiang couldn't say that she didn't think carefully at all, so she mustered up the courage to look at him, her eyes met, she lowered her eyes shyly, and said softly: "I know you are good to me..." So good that she is willing to help her with things , Dissatisfied with her looking for outsiders, the more she thought about it, the sweeter she became, the corners of Ningxiang's mouth curled up.

"Just this once, next time what you say won't work." Lu Cheng snorted, because Li Shi was coming soon, so he didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

Ningxiang looked at the tall back of her fiancé, feeling warm in her heart.

Soon the last batch of persimmons were moved to the donkey cart, Lu Cheng said goodbye to Xu's family, and drove the donkey cart south with familiarity.

Arriving at Baihe Town, Lu Cheng turned a corner, asked a few people casually when he entered the town, and found Li's house with ease. Coincidentally, Nanny Li happened to be standing in the yard. Lu Cheng tentatively looked in. People looked at each other.

"Isn't this Lu Cheng? Why are you here?" Nanny Li said in surprise.

Lu Cheng jumped off the donkey cart and said with a smile: "Xiang'er's persimmons are ripe, I'll help her send them to the city to sell, and Xiang'er specifically asked me to give some to Mammy." Handed the basket to Nanny Li, "Mommy will go back to the city tomorrow, and please bring two for Miss Suyue. Ningxiang misses her every day, and she will be happy only if you all eat her persimmons."

Nanny Li learned about Lu Cheng and Ning Xiang's affairs from Su Yue in August, she was more satisfied with Lu Cheng, took the persimmon, and invited him to sit in the room.Lu Cheng declined with a smile, and looked at the donkey lane: "I am in a hurry to go to the city, and I will go to the mother's house to bother you when I have time."

Nanny Li didn't keep him anymore, she stood at the door with a basket and sent him off lovingly.

Li Jinbao was not at home. When he came back at dusk, he saw a row of big yellow and orange persimmons on the window sill. He vaguely guessed something, deliberately pretended not to know, and asked his mother where he bought the persimmons.

Nanny Li stared at her son, and said straightly: "Ningxiang asked Lu Cheng to give it to me. Jinbao, admit it, Ningxiang and Lu Cheng are a natural couple, and the son has made them perfect, so you should take care of it as soon as possible." , Mother will definitely pick someone similar to Ningxiang for you."

Li Jinbao remained silent, and went back to his room to stay.

Nanny Li shook her head. The next day, she carried a basket and packed six persimmons into the city. Four were given to the little maids in the kitchen, and two were reserved for Su Yue.And Su Yue didn't make her wait any longer, and soon came to visit.

"Is the prince not in the mansion?" Nanny Li asked in a low voice.

After washing her hands, Su Yue said casually while peeling the persimmons: "I've been busy in the military camp these past few months, and I haven't been back for several nights."

After two lifetimes, Suyue can see clearly that Ningxiang does have a lot of weight in Pei Jinghan's heart. Although Pei Jinghan concealed it well, she still sees the loss of this man. Lengmei Pavilion has newly promoted a big maid, Pei Jinghan After calling the wrong name three times, she truly accepted the fact that Ningxiang had left the mansion.If it wasn't for being familiar with Pei Jinghan's personality and knowing that Pei Jinghan would do what he said in front of men, Su Yue would have been worried that Pei Jinghan would come to him again.

Nanny Li was equally relieved about this, thinking of another matter, she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the eldest son is going to be engaged to his cousin girl, and it will be formalized in October, do you know it?"

She likes Ningxiang, and also likes Suyue, now that Ningxiang has settled down, she starts to worry about Suyue.

Su Yue smiled, and looked at the elder in front of her with a pair of watery eyes, "I know, Mama, don't worry, I know my identity, and I won't go into a corner for this kind of thing."

After speaking, he picked up the spoon, scooped up the persimmons one by one and ate them. After eating a spoonful, he praised in satisfaction: "The persimmons grown at home are indeed sweet. Do you want to have a bite, mama?"

He looked like the biggest heartless person who ate a lot of food.

Nanny Li smiled and shook her head, staring at the little girl who was having a good meal, she suddenly felt that she couldn't see through her.

Saying that Su Yue likes the son, she doesn't even get jealous, but if she says she doesn't like it, why doesn't the little girl have any other plans?
That's all, everyone has their own destiny, the two children ask her for help, she helps out, she doesn't need to get involved, she just watches from the side, and occasionally helps, just do what she can.

The persimmons were sold for a total of three taels of silver, which was the most money Ningxiang made after redeeming herself.

With more income, Ningxiang went to look for Li Shi again, and the two of them sat on the kang and said to themselves, "Auntie, I have more than ten taels of silver in my hand, and there is nothing to spend recently. The eldest brother on the ninth day of the ninth day welcomes the bride, and you have silver on hand." Is it enough to spend? Not enough, I will give you a mat first..."

"Enough is enough, save what's yours, keep it for your siblings, don't worry about us." Mrs. Li pressed her niece's hand and said gratifiedly, "Your eldest brother is lucky. Don't pick ours, change to another one, with her appearance, the gift money alone is worth this amount."

Stretched out a hand and shook it, meaning ten taels of silver.

Ning Xiang showed surprise.

Mrs. Li snorted, and nodded her niece's face, "Wait, see how much Lu Cheng gives you, if it's not ten taels, I won't let you marry him!"

"You're making fun of me again." Ning Xiang turned sideways, her face blushing again.

Mrs. Li laughed a few times, then sighed suddenly, looked out of the window and said, "It's not your fault that elder brother is out of his mind all day, I miss Guan Ping not at home."

To greet the relatives, the bride cannot be carried directly from the west courtyard, that would be too hasty, Mrs. Li went to her sister's house, asked her to accept Guan Ping as her daughter, and then asked Guan Ping to move there. Followed by the welcoming team, they took the daughter-in-law home bustlingly, so that it would not be considered a disadvantage to Guan Ping.

"Don't worry, it will be the ninth day soon." Ning Xiang comforted her with a smile, with unconcealable joy in her voice.

Her cousin is getting a wife.
