Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 37
Lu Cheng is a very determined person, once he decides to do something, he will go all out.

For example, when I heard that the Wu Family Orchard was recruiting apprentices, Lu Chengcheng, who knew that he would not be successful in farming, went to the orchard. Relying on Zhou Zheng's appearance and natural eloquence, he successfully became the apprentice of Old Man Li, the chief steward of the Sha Orchard. With all his skills, old man Li successfully squeezed out another apprentice, and his wages increased from five renminbi to one tael. When old man Li couldn't work anymore, he would take over as the chief manager and get two taels of wages every month.

One acre of cropland yields only one or two crops a year, and the orchard is only busy a few times a year. Lu Cheng doesn't have to stay in the orchard every day, and he doesn't delay farming after taking this job. I don't know how many villagers are envious.

Now Lu Cheng decided to raise Goshawk, he just wanted to raise it well.

After discussing with shopkeeper Dou to exchange the cockatiel for the thin goshawk, Lu Cheng temporarily forgot the troubles brought by Ningxiang, and followed shopkeeper Dou to the place where the eagles were raised in the backyard.

The four goshawks had already been put back into the eagle house, and they walked around majesticly one by one, about two feet high from head to toe, with their wings spread out like two big fans, swishing when they flapped.Compared with these four mighty ones, the gray-feathered goshawk lying in the corner is just like a domestic hen, its body is at most one foot tall, and its dark brown wings are far more slender than those of its brothers. The hook-like beak is even less impressive.

Only those sharp eyes swept over coldly, announcing its identity as a goshawk.

"Really decided to adopt?" Shopkeeper Dou asked with a smile.

Lu Cheng nodded and said respectfully, "I don't know anything about raising eagles, so please give me some pointers."

Shopkeeper Dou nodded. He has feelings for the birds he raises. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about them if he sells them and makes money. Of course, he hopes that they will live healthy and healthy in the new owner’s house, so he stands on the eagle’s side. Before the house, he explained everything to Lu Cheng in detail. When the guests came, he went to entertain the guests first, and then came back to continue talking.

Lu Cheng listened intently, and asked questions if he didn't understand. He didn't take the bird stand that shopkeeper Dou gave him until the sun was high, and left.In fact, the goshawk he bought was still small, and it would be more convenient to carry it home in a birdcage. However, the goshawk was very temperamental and refused to enter the cage, so Lu Cheng had to work harder. Like the second uncle, he squatted on the bird stand, staring vigilantly at the passers-by.

Lu Cheng went back to Xu's house first.

His third uncle went to the chess club, and his mother's surnamed cousin was studying at the government school. Only his third aunt Xu and eight-year-old cousin Lu Ying were at home.

It was the first time for the couple to see a goshawk. For them who had never seen the other four goshawks, this one was already very scary.

"Where's Linger?" Lu Ying, who inherited her parents' good looks, hid behind her mother, and looked at her eldest cousin in confusion with the peach blossom eyes that all Lu family children have. "Didn't elder brother go to see a doctor for Linger?"

Ling'er was the name of that cockatiel. Lu Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with that name before, but now he felt that it was really not suitable for Anan to raise.Facing his cousin with a guilty conscience, Lu Cheng explained to his aunt embarrassingly: "Third aunt, someone bought a goshawk when I went there... I was afraid that someone would buy it away, so I was in a hurry to change it, and I didn't discuss it with you in advance... ..."

After all, the parrot was given to Anan by his cousin, so he had to explain.

Xu's favorite is this calm and sensible elder nephew. Before Lu Cheng finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Da Lang is good at changing, and I will change too. Our Anan will definitely have a great future in the future, so we should take care of the eagle." match him."

"It's not good at all. This bird is fierce. What if it pecked Anan?" Lu Ying was not only reluctant to part with her parrot, but also despised this goshawk for being too fierce. It’s the elder brother who wants to raise the eagle!”

Lu Cheng patted his cousin's head, and smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, Ah Ying. I'll buy you another parrot when I earn money in the future, and I'll buy you a parrot that's prettier than Ling'er. You don't have to worry about Anan, my elder brother will never Let the goshawks peck him." He regarded Anan as his own son, how could he hurt his son?I have inquired clearly with shopkeeper Dou about everything that should be paid attention to.

Lu Ying was still unhappy, she pouted and ran away, not wanting to see him again.

Lu Cheng was helpless.

Mrs. Xu looked at the goshawk and asked curiously, "Then how are you going to feed it? I heard that you have to feed it meat, right?"

Lu Cheng hummed, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of birds and mice in the village, so you don't have to worry about feeding it. After training, let it go out and grab something to eat."

"Then watch carefully, don't let it catch other people's chickens." Xu said worriedly, "I heard that eagles love chickens the most."

Lu Cheng responded with a smile.

Mrs. Xu left him for lunch, but Lu Cheng hurried back, put the bird stand on the donkey cart and left.

It wasn't until the donkey cart drove out of the city gate that he indulged himself to think about Ningxiang.

At this time, Ning Xiang was sitting in the private room of the restaurant, looking down at the menu in her hand, Pei Jinghan asked her to order, but she ordered two things, but he rejected them both, insisting on ordering the more expensive one.

No way, Ning Xiang ordered a dish of squirrel mandarin fish and a dish of pork ribs in honey sauce.

The clerk took the menu and left, and there were only two masters and servants left in the private room.

Feeling the undisguised gaze of the man opposite, Ning Xiang's palms were sweating nervously.

"Shoulders are a little sore, Ningxiang help me pinch them." Pei Jinghan whispered after admiring the little girl's flushed face enough.

Ning Xiang couldn't help but clutched her cuffs tightly.

Pei Jinghan used this trick in his previous life, telling her to beat her back, but as soon as she came to him, Pei Jinghan would pull her onto his lap and bully her.

The man's strength is too great, once she is hugged by him, Ning Xiang doesn't have to expect to escape at all.

How can I not offend him and not let myself suffer?
Standing up slowly, Ning Xiang deliberately moved away from the table before walking towards him, her eyes fixed on his chair legs.

Pei Jinghan looked funny, and followed her with his eyes, "I asked you to pinch your shoulders, why is it like forcing you to go to the execution ground? I won't eat you." Could it be that his eyes were too obvious, she could see that he wanted to do something Move your feet?
Ning Xiang raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes glanced at the sachet hanging from his waist, thinking that Su Yue refused to come over yesterday because she hated the smell of bird droppings, she clutched her cuffs, stopped three steps away from the man, and looked at her With his hands down, he lowered his head and said, "No, yes, when I touched the birdcage at the Hundred Torii Gate, I didn't know what was on it. It was always a little sticky, and I was afraid that it would stain Shizi's clothes."

Pei Jinghan immediately looked at her hand.

What can get on the cage?
Shouldn't it be...

Although he couldn't believe it, Pei Jinghan, who has always been happy and clean, frowned, glanced at the tea bowl on the table, smiled again, got up and left his seat, lifted the teapot and walked to a potted plum tree, smiled at her: "Come here, I Pour you some water."

Ning Xiang suddenly felt annoyed!

How did she forget that there was tea in the room?
But now there is no room for repentance, Ning Xiang walked over bravely, raised her sleeves slightly, and stretched out her hand to receive the water.

Those hands are slender and small, and the ten fingers are as pale as scallions. Imagine that he can hold these beautiful hands in his palms and play with them. Pei Jinghan suddenly feels thirsty. If there is no delay, the teapot in his hand will be tilted, and the warm tea will be poured out. fell down.

Ning Xiang was so anxious that she kept rubbing her hands, wishing she could keep washing like this.

Pei Jinghan didn't have that much patience. He felt that the washing was almost done, so he put it back directly into the teapot. Seeing that she was still standing in front of the potted plant, Pei Jinghan walked over while taking out his handkerchief, and handed it to her: "Wipe it. .”

Ning Xiang pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "Let's use mine."

As he spoke, he was about to draw his own handkerchief.

However, Pei Jinghan raised her wrist, covered his handkerchief domineeringly, stared at her panicked almond eyes and said, "I'll wipe it for you."

His phoenix eyes were faint, as if he was staring at the prey that had already reached his mouth, Ning Xiang didn't dare to look at him, she pulled his handkerchief with both hands and said: "No..."

Pei Jinghan didn't care about her, and started to work on his own, holding her wrist with one hand, carefully wiping her hand with the other, and carefully wiping the crevices between her fingers. Pull out slowly.

Ning Xiang blushed uncontrollably.

She didn't understand why, why she didn't feel anything when she did this, but Pei Jinghan would feel a strange itch.

She bit her lip and lowered her head to bear it. Pei Jinghan's eyes had already fallen on her face. Seeing her cheeks getting redder and redder, he suddenly didn't want to wait any longer, grabbed her wet hand, and leaned over to her.

Ningxiang was frightened and immediately wanted to hide back.

However, there is a thick wall behind her, and Pei Jinghan quickly pressed up on her before she moved to one side, his body pressed against her exquisite body, fixed her hands with one hand, and her chin with the other, his handsome face was almost close to hers , "Why hide?"

Ning Xiang's chest heaved nervously, begging to his chest: "My lord, the dishes are coming..."

Pei Jinghan laughed, and gently stroked her hot and delicate face with his slender index finger, lowered his head to face her, stared at her almond eyes that became more moist because of panic, and murmured: "Ningxiang is the dish I want to eat the most. The first time I saw you with Madam, I was looking forward to this day."

After speaking, he approached slowly, and Feng Yan admired her shy eyes that wanted to hide.

Ningxiang pushed him with all her strength.

He didn't push, but managed to stagger the distance between the two, shaking his jaw so that he broke free from the grip of his hand.

It's a pity that she was dragged back by the man again in the next moment, knowing that she couldn't hide, Ning Xiang raised her head and begged him crying, "My son, I beg..."

Pei Jinghan knew she would resist, but he didn't expect her to cry.

The movement was barely able to stop, watching her tears roll down, the desire in Pei Jinghanfeng's eyes faded and turned into confusion.

"Why are you crying?" He let go of her chin and asked with a frown, "Afraid of becoming like this?"

She likes him, no matter how shy he is, he understands, but why did she cry because of his closeness?

His departure gave Ningxiang hope in despair, and she looked at him with blurred tears, "My lord, I am your maid, as long as it is my duty, I am willing to do it, but I don't want... I don't want to be accused Give me some pointers, say that I really want to be an aunt, son, I..."

"You're afraid of being gossiped," Pei Jinghan's voice cooled down, and he pinched her chin again, "You still don't want to be my man?"

Looking into his dangerous eyes, the fragrance condenses like falling into an ice cave.

He also asked the same question in his previous life, and when she answered the latter, he became furious and kissed her directly.

But don't say that, Pei Jinghan, who misunderstood that she liked him, might pester her even more, right?
Being in a dilemma, Chang Shun's voice suddenly came from outside the private room, "My lord, my aunt is here, Madam please go back immediately."

Pei Jinghan continued to stare at Ningxiang, and turned his head after a while, "Auntie?"

Chang Shun replied: "Yes, my aunt just arrived, and my cousin also came."

A girl of seven or eight years old suddenly appeared in Pei Jinghan's mind. His aunt was married to Jingzhou, and it was not easy to come back. As a result, he hadn't met Shen's cousin a few times, and he didn't know what the little girl looked like back then.

"Prepare the car."

Taking a cold look at Ningxiang, Pei Jinghan turned and walked towards the door.

Ning Xiang let out a long breath of relief.

Shen Youyou finally came, at least she and Su Yue were safe before Shen Youyou left.
