Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 174 Su Yue Returns With Her Daughter
After leaving Xu's house, Lu Cheng didn't take Ningxiang to the matchmaker immediately, but went to the jewelry shop.

Ningxiang didn't want to spend money, so he forced her in. In the end, she bought a jade hairpin for 15 taels, and a pair of jadeite bracelets for [-] taels.Lu Cheng wanted her to choose two more things, but Ning Xiang was reluctant, so she bought a pair of red jade earrings for A Tao, and a long life lock for Ananguoer, engraved with the zodiac signs of the two little guys, Guoer also hung a few small bells.

"This one is for Amu." Ning Xiang didn't want to spend her husband's money to buy things for her younger brother, but Lu Cheng, a good brother-in-law, remembered it.

So in the jewelry store, the couple spent more than 40 taels.

"It's only once a year, don't be reluctant." Lu Cheng hugged the wooden box and led his beloved daughter-in-law towards the silk shop with a smile on his face.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the toothmaid's place. After a while, the couple had to go to Xu's house for lunch, and the children were waiting for them.

"We buy maids for work. You can just pick a few who are strong and not scary, and don't want any good-looking ones." Lu Cheng told the matchmaker bluntly about his conditions.

Ning Xiang squinted at him, and seeing Lu Cheng's begging smile, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

He dared to pick out the pretty ones, but she wouldn't go with him.

The matchmaker looked at their husband and wife, especially the little daughter-in-law who looked like a fairy. If she were a man, she would definitely look down on mortal girls if she had a fairy.Smiling and asking the two to sit first, she went to the backyard to pick someone up, and after a quarter of an hour, she brought over a dozen servant girls, the youngest seemed to be in their teens, and the older one was 25-[-].

Lu Cheng looked over one by one.

He has an outstanding appearance, standing there tall and straight like a green pine, there are very few girls who do not feel a little strange when they see him.Lu Cheng's eyes were poisonous. Anyone who blushed or bowed his head shyly didn't take a second look. The remaining four looked carefully, then lowered their heads and asked Ning Xiang, "Which of the four of them do you think is better?"

Seeing that they were all quite honest, Ning Xiang couldn't tell anything from their appearance, so she asked them about the situation at home.

All three were sold by family members, either father, elder brother, or stepmother, and only one was an orphan.Ningxiang felt sorry for those who were sold by relatives, but she didn't want the maidservants to break up with the family and cause any trouble. For example, Zhang Honglin and Cui Shi wanted to use her to build a relationship with the Houfu, so she chose an orphan girl named Cuiya.

Cui Ya was eighteen, and she used to live with her grandfather in the countryside. After her grandfather died, she couldn't live on her own, so she had no other way out and became a maid.She is considered to be below average in appearance, black and strong, and looks very strong. Facing Ningxiang and Lu Cheng's two new masters, Cui Ya is very cautious, as if she is afraid that she will not be able to do well and that Lu Cheng and his wife will not want her again. .

"Can you cook?" Ning Xiang asked softly.

Cui Ya nodded, lowered her head and said, "I have been a fire maid in Master Liu's house for two years, and I know how to cook home-cooked dishes."

"Then why doesn't Master Liu want you anymore?" Lu Cheng asked solemnly.

Cui Ya clenched her sleeves, and said sullenly: "Mrs. Zhang, who is in charge of the kitchen, beats me and scolds me whenever she is upset. I, I pushed her, and she spoke ill of me to the master..."

Lu Cheng looked at her strong body, and nodded towards Ningxiang with the stubbornness revealed in her words.

This girl is simple-minded and simple-minded, suitable for doing things at home.

Ning Xiang was also satisfied, bargained with the matchmaker, and bought Cui Ya for eight taels of silver.

On the way back to Xu's house, Ning Xiang and Cui Ya walked ahead, introduced her family's situation to her, and then proposed to give Cui Ya five renminbi a month.She works as a rough envoy in the Hou's mansion, and it is enough to do one job well every day, but Cuiya comes from home, and she has to cook, wash clothes and clean the yard, and also help with spring planting and autumn harvest, Ningxiang doesn't want to treat her too harshly.

Cuiya was very happy to hear that she could earn five yuan as long as she lived like a daughter-in-law in the village, and she repeatedly promised to do a good job.

In Xu's courtyard, Lu Yan was playing with his nephew on his shoulders, Anan was holding his second uncle's head and shouting excitedly, Guo'er was sitting in the small car wearing a hat, his eyes were chasing after his second uncle, and he clapped his little hands when he was happy.Suddenly seeing her father and mother coming back, Guo'er started yelling.

Cui Ya saw that the people in this courtyard were all top-notch good-looking from big to small, and she felt even better. If the master wanted to be vicious or ugly, she would be uncomfortable serving him.

The children didn't show any interest in her for the time being, but when Cuiya came home at dusk and was busy working in the kitchen, Anan and Amu hid behind the curtain and watched quietly. Anan still asked her mother who was sitting on the kang to coax her younger sister, "" Mother, is her cooking as delicious as yours?"

"You'll know in a while." Ning Xiang said with a smile.

Anan looked at his mother blankly, still not quite understanding why Cuiya came to his home.

However, Cuiya's cooking was delicious. On the dinner table, Anan picked up a piece of scrambled eggs, which made Cuiya much more pleasing to the eye.

Cuiya is diligent and capable, she loves to laugh, and likes to play with the children, so she quickly integrated into the Lu family.

After the autumn harvest, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because Lu Yan spent the past two days at home on the 45th, Ningxiang discussed with Lu Cheng to invite relatives to have a feast at home on the [-]th day.

Zhou Tianyou's family was close together and arrived first.

Lu Cheng hugged his daughter and led his family out to greet her. Lu Yan walked at the far end, seeing his cousin jumping out of the car in a red dress, his heart beat faster.He obviously likes each other but has to keep it from his relatives. That sneaky taboo bound him, but it also deepened the sweetness in his heart.

Zhou Yu was better at concealing things than him, coupled with the girl's natural reserve, she didn't even look at Lu Yan, and went straight to Guo'er after getting off the car.Seeing the little girl entering the room with his sister-in-law talking and laughing, Lu Yan's heart wavered uncontrollably. He was not sure that the cousin just didn't want to attract suspicion, or that she regretted getting along with him after seeing her for a month.

Lu Yan wanted to talk to his cousin alone for a while, but he couldn't find a chance.

The adults were talking in the room, and the children got bored after listening to it for a while, so they came out to play.

"A'nan." Lu Yan stood at the gate of the old courtyard, stared at the children for a while, and then called out to his nephew with a thought.

Anan turned to look at the second uncle, and seeing the second uncle beckoning, the little guy ran over.

"Do you want to play hide-and-seek, Anan?" Lu Yan asked while picking up his nephew.

Anan didn't want to play hide-and-seek, pointed at Zhou Yuan, Amu Atao and said, "We want to play selling eggs."

My aunt is an egg seller, my uncle is a thief, my cousin is a policeman, and he is helping my aunt watch the egg basket.

The children are quite good at playing, Lu Yan was amused, took out two copper coins and shook them at his nephew, "Anan, go ask the eldest aunt, second aunt and cousin to play hide and seek together, they promised to play with you, second uncle will give you the money , but you are not allowed to tell others that I said it, just say that you want to play."

Anan looked at the copper coin in his second uncle's hand and grinned.

Lu Yan kissed his good nephew, put the copper coins in his small purse, put Anan down, and Anan ran to the new house to call someone.

The little guy wanted to play hide-and-seek, of course Lu Fu, Lurong and Zhou Yu were willing to accompany him. Several people came to the yard to gather with Zhou Yuan and the others, and wanted to use the palm of their hands to choose someone to be a ghost. Lu Yan appeared at the right time and offered to be a ghost himself.

Zhou Yu pursed his lips, looked up at him, and saw Lu Yan winking at the east room of the old house, that look was wicked and coquettish.

Zhou Yu couldn't resist the temptation of beauty, he hesitated when he ran away, and obediently went to the east room, ran to the east room and saw that Amu Anan also wanted to come in, Zhou Yu pushed them away with a red face: "No, only one person can be hidden in a room , you go and change places."

Amu hurriedly led his nephew to hide in the hut.

Lu Yan counted to twenty, in order not to spoil his good deed by the people he found in advance, he went to the east room first, entered the room and saw the old god Zhou Yu sitting on the edge of the kang, Lu Yan quickly inserted it door, rushed forward and hugged the little girl who was thinking about it.

Zhou Yu was taken aback by his enthusiasm, turned his head before his handsome face approached, and asked him in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Why don't you even look at me?" Lu Yan asked hoarsely.

His rapid breathing sprayed on her face, Zhou Yu blushed slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm afraid my father will notice."

She was shy, beautiful and charming, Lu Yan's throat rolled, and his face moved closer, "So, do you still like me?"

Zhou Yu glared at him tenderly, why is this man talking nonsense?Could it be that she liked her last month and changed her mind this month?

After being affirmed, Lu Yan breathed harder, "Since you like it, give me a kiss."

After speaking without any explanation, he hugged the little girl and kissed wantonly.

The two happened to meet, Zhou Yu was not used to this kind of intimacy, so he struggled a bit, but how could he break away from Lu Yan's arm with that little strength. Suspicious, Lu Yancai reluctantly let go of her, kissed her cheek again, and went to arrest her with a smile.

Zhou Yu sat on the kang covering his face, wondering why his cousin who looked at Yushu Linfeng kissed like a pig, rude and eager.

After playing one round, Lu Yan wanted to play the second round. Zhou Yu didn't want to pamper him, so he found an excuse to find his cousin.

The two of them hid it well, and no one noticed anything unusual.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the days are getting cooler day by day.

At the end of September, Niu Niu is going to catch the week.

Ningxiang's family went to congratulate her.

All kinds of good things were laid out on the kang, and Niu Niu was wearing a red dress, picking and picking among the piles of things.After turning around, under the reminder of the elders, he understood that he could only choose one. Niu Niu looked at the things in his arms, put them down, and finally held the wooden Guan Gong Yanyue Knife that his father bought for him, and gave it to his mother. Look, "knife!"

Li smirked, picked up his grandson and kissed him hard, "We are very promising, and we will be great generals when we grow up!"

Niu Niu giggled.

Xu Huai didn't take his mother's joke to heart, but Guan Ping, looking at his son, hesitated whether to pass on his skills to him.After thinking for a while, Guan Ping shook his head and laughed, his son was only one year old, even if he was practicing martial arts, he would have to be seven or eight years old to learn, and there was plenty of time for her to think it over.

"Mother, I want to play too." Anan looked at the things on the kang, and said to his mother enviously.

Ning Xiang touched her son's head, just about to explain, Lu Cheng hugged her son and smiled, "I caught Anan when he was one year old, don't you remember?"

Anan shook his head, not remembering.

Ningxiang asked curiously, "What did Anan catch?"

Guoerlai was playing in the arms of the second grandfather, Lu Cheng signaled his wife to go out with him, and the family of three went under the persimmon tree in the west courtyard.

"Anan grabbed his own jade pendant." Lu Cheng took out the jade pendant his son was wearing inside and reminded his son.

Anan seemed to really remember it, smiled contentedly, and asked his father seriously: "Then what will I be when I grow up?"

Such a big child likes to compare himself with others.

Lu Cheng laughed, and put the jade pendant back and kissed his son, "Anan planted fruit trees with my father, and the fruit will be eaten by my sister, is Anan willing?"

"Yes!" Anan didn't understand the difference between a general and a fruit farmer, so he replied loudly. He likes to pick fruit for his sister the most.

The son did not dislike his father, so Lu Cheng lifted the little guy to the top of his head, and walked back with his son on his back.

Ning Xiang followed behind, smiling at the backs of the two men.

After eating the banquet, the family sat for a while and then went back home. The donkey cart turned to the door of their house, but saw a magnificent carriage parked there.

Both Lu Cheng and Ning Xiang were taken aback.

Probably hearing the movement of the donkey cart, a man jumped down from the shaft of the carriage, dressed in fine cloth and dressed in charge, it was Chang Shun.

Ning Xiang immediately turned pale, and looked at the carriage in horror. Could it be that Pei Jinghan was inside?

Lu Cheng's face turned even paler.

Seeing that their husband and wife looked like they were facing an enemy, Chang Shun, who had lost weight and darkened after staying in the Northwest for a year, said with a smile, "Don't panic, the son is in another courtyard in the town, Su Yue misses you." I want to take a look before I go back to the mansion, the prince asked me to send her over."

Lu Cheng's face was still calm, and Ning Xiang was only happy when she learned that her good sister was inside, and asked affectionately, "When did you come back? The Northwest War is over? Why didn't you ask someone to call us?"

She has a good relationship with Changshun, without Pei Jinghan, it's like seeing an old friend, and she can ask whatever comes to mind.

Reunited after a long absence, Changshun was also very happy to see her, and said in a low voice: "The barbarians retreated after a disastrous defeat in June, Lord Hou is still staying there to rectify the frontier, the son is back first, the town that arrived yesterday, the Hou Mansion is still there I don't know." The last sentence was very light, why did Shi Zi go to the town, it was to make Su Yue happy, and if Shen Youyou found out, he would lose his temper.

The condensed fragrance is transparent at one point, and the mood is quite complicated.

The better Su Yue gets, the more she can't help but worry about the future for her.

"This is your daughter?" After finishing the business, Chang Shun stared at Guo'er in Lu Cheng's arms and said, the little girl is so beautiful, more beautiful than...

"Su Yue?"

Ningxiang originally wanted to hold her daughter to show Changshun, but when she saw her good sister coming out of her kitchen, there was a sudden bang in her mind, she couldn't think about anything, she stared dumbfounded at Suyue getting closer, Slowly stopped in the middle of the yard, and smiled at her, "What are you doing there, don't you know me?"

She was wearing a crimson beige, which was somewhat similar to the clothes Ningxiang wore when she woke up from a coma, but the Su Yue in front of her was a little plumper than before, her melon-seeded face was pink and charming, and her fox eyes were charming. However, there was more Ningxiang's unfamiliar tenderness. When she looked down at the child in her arms, the tenderness was like water, which Ningxiang had never seen on her face.

That is, Su Yue's child?

Ning Xiang walked towards Su Yue in a daze.

As if aware of her doubts, Su Yue also walked towards her, and smiled after a few steps: "This is my daughter Zhao Zhao, do you look like me?"

While she was talking, the girl who had been leaning in her mother's arms finally turned her head, and looked at Ningxiang with a pair of bright and beautiful fox eyes. Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, it is a daughter.
