Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 75

In order to conceal the relationship between the two, Lu Cheng bought the apology gift and didn't send it to his younger sister right away, fearing that his younger sister would move around too often and make people suspicious.After a few days, it was almost the end of the month, and presumably Ningxiang's anger had dissipated, so Lu Chengcai handed the gift to his sister behind his back, and gave instructions in a low voice.

"Did elder brother get along with elder sister Xu?" A Tao asked with a smile.

Such words came from his seven-year-old sister, Lu Cheng frowned, stared at the little girl and said, "Where did you hear that?"

He is not at home during the day, could it be that the little girl has made an unscrupulous partner, or the two younger brothers are talking nonsense?
The elder brother looked serious, A Tao knew she had slipped her tongue, shrank her neck and said: "I went to play with Ah Hua the day before yesterday, and her mother was talking to someone in the room, her voice was very loud, I heard it."

"Don't talk about it in the future, even if you hear it, pretend you didn't hear it." Lu Cheng patted his sister's head and walked out of the room.

Anan was sitting in the yard watching his second uncle chopping firewood. When he saw his father coming out, he stood up and asked him to hug him.

"Daddy went to the orchard, and brought peaches for Anan to eat at night." There were a few peach trees scattered around the orchard, and they were almost ready to eat.

Anan was used to his father leaving early and returning late, so he didn't pester him any more, and sat on the bench obediently, watching his father go out.Lu Cheng walked to the door and turned around, met his son's earnest eyes and smiled at the little guy.

Anan shouted happily.

"Let's go!" Lu Cheng waved his hand and strode away.

Anan continued to stare at the door, making sure that his father had really left, so he turned to look at his second uncle.

A Tao stayed in the house and felt that it was almost time, so she went to find her third brother Lu Ding and asked him to drive them in a donkey cart.

Lu Ding went to set the donkey cart without saying anything.

When Lu Yan mentioned his nephew, he saw a few black handprints on the new gray cloth jacket that he changed in the morning, so he picked up his nephew and walked into the house in disgust, "Anan, don't rub it on your body anymore, Aunt Xiang likes clean children , you are dirty, Aunt Xiang doesn't like to hug you anymore."

Anan lowered his head, looked at the black handprints on his body, and then at his own little hands, his big eyes immediately looked at the washbasin on the bench.

Of course, you have to tidy up when you go out to be a guest. Lu Yan washed his chubby hands for his nephew, and then changed into a small royal blue gown with a small purse that had just been washed for two days. Only then did he carry his nephew to the donkey cart.

"Don't fight with others anymore." Lu Yan sent it to the door, and Su Rong told his nephew.

Anan grinned and shook his head at his second uncle, assuring himself to be obedient.

Lu Yan looked at his nephew and smiled.

Who wouldn't like such a beautiful and sensible child?

Liuxi Village.

When the three of A Tao came, Ning Xiang was coaxing her younger brother.

A little chick in the family died, and Amu cried until his eyes were red. He didn't eat much breakfast, and he didn't want to talk.

"General!" Before throwing the little chicken, Anan squatted down and poked it, and suddenly said without thinking, "Eat!"

After all, it is easier for children to understand what children say. Before Ningxiang A Tao understood what Anan meant, Amu stood up abruptly, snatched the motionless chick and hid it behind him, staring at Anan angrily for the first time. : "I'm going to be buried, you are not allowed to feed the general!"

Anan blinked blankly.

Ning Xiang secretly suppressed a smile, the little guy was quite cruel, even wanting to feed it to the general.

"Amu, come here, big brother will lead you to dig a hole." Xu Huai was fine today, hearing that his cousin was still sad for the chicken, and shouted with a smile.

Amu immediately took the chick to find his cousin.

Anan was curious about what they were going to do, so he dragged Ningxiang to let his mother hold him to see.

So a few people, big and small, went to watch Xu Huai dig a hole and bury the chicken...

When Xiaojizai was buried, Xu Huai gave the shovel in his hand to his cousin to push the soil.Amuke couldn't bear to part with the chickens he and his sister had bought and raised together. Looking at the motionless pet in the pit, tears rolled down again.As for Anan, he completely regarded this matter as a fun thing. Seeing that the five-year-old uncle was holding the shovel still, he walked over slowly and stretched out his hand for help.

"I'll do it myself!" The errand was about to be robbed, and Amu finally came back to his senses, wiped away his tears, and pushed the earth down.

Anan didn't have the slightest sense of being disgusted by others. Seeing that there was still soil beside the pit, he walked over and pushed it in with his little feet.Amu glanced at him and didn't stop him.

Xu Qiu'er deliberately teased Anan: "Can you bury the general here too?"

Anan raised her head, stared at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and hit Xu Qiuer, "Don't bury it!"

Xu Qiuer who was beaten was overjoyed. This brat seemed to be "hard-hearted" when he was watching the fun, and he must be more anxious than Amu when it was his turn to have an accident with something he liked.

Ningxiang, Xu Huai and A Tao laughed along, and A Mu looked at a few people, and then at Anan who was staring at his second sister with a sullen face, and couldn't help but also laughed.

The sadness left in the boy's heart by the death of a little chicken subconsciously dissipated in such laughter.

Walking all the way to the yard, Amu and Anan have reconciled as before.

A Tao dragged Ningxiang into the room, smiled and took out the palm-sized flat white porcelain box that had been hidden on her body all the time, and said to Ningxiang in a low voice: "Sister Xu, my elder brother said he knew he was wrong, I hope you Calm down when you receive the gift, here, he bought it in Liuxian Town, and it cost three renminbi!"

The little girl didn't know how to be euphemistic, she just thought that telling Sister Xu that the gift was very expensive, and that Sister Xu would forgive her brother as soon as she was happy.

Lu Cheng ordered his younger sister to send a message again, Ning Xiang blushed, and asked softly when he took the mask box: "What else did your elder brother tell you?"

A Tao recalled what her elder brother said when he came back from the town that day, curled his lips, and said angrily: "Big brother said that I am still young and don't need such good things. I will buy them for me when I am ten years old. Sister Xu, My elder brother is too bad. When he took the money from the money jar, he said he would buy me face cream to make me happy. In the end, he bought expensive ones for sister Xu, but he fooled me with more than ten cents. It didn’t smell like sister Xu at all. "

Looking at A Tao's aggrieved face, Ning Xiang could fully imagine Lu Cheng's seriousness when he was fooling his sister.

Looking at the delicate small porcelain box in her hand, Ning Xiang couldn't help but scold Lu Cheng for spending money indiscriminately.There is a little girl in Lengmei Pavilion who can make facial fat. She and Suyue use the little girl's gift, and the little girl refuses to take money. She and Suyue usually share some snacks with her. This time, when they come back, Ning Xiang didn't bring anything from Pei Jinghan or the Hou's mansion, the only thing related to the Hou's mansion were two boxes of face cream from the little maid.

Of course, if the man she likes is willing to spend money on herself, it is impossible for Ning Xiang not to be unhappy.

Touching A Tao's head, Ning Xiang first hid the facial fat that Lu Cheng gave her, took out another box of facial fat that had not been touched, opened it, walked to A Tao, and asked with a smile: "A Tao Smell, is it sister Xu's incense or the one your elder brother bought?"

The porcelain box is azure, and the face inside is fine and smooth, which makes people like it just by looking at it. A Tao smelled it lightly, but couldn't tell the difference, and replied enviously: "They are all very fragrant." Better than the bargains that big brother fooled her with.

The little girl pouted again.

Ningxiang laughed, closed the box again, stuffed it into A Tao's hand and coaxed: "Your elder brother gave sister Xu a box, then I will give A Tao a box too, but my sister made this box by herself, so I don't know the price. , maybe it’s not worth three renminbi, will A Tao dislike it?"

A Tao would not dislike it, if it wasn't for the facial fat that sister Xu used, she would never have thought of asking her brother to buy it.

But she could tell that sister Xu's face cream box was so beautiful, it would definitely not be cheaper than her brother's box, and even more expensive.

A Tao shook her head, put the porcelain box on the kang, turned her head and ran out, "I don't want it, sister Xu, put it away!"

She just blamed her brother for fooling her, and didn't blame him for giving good things to sister Xu.

She can't take such an expensive gift.

Ning Xiang chased after the stove, and saw that A Tao had already run far away, and went straight to the two boys who were squatting together playing something.

Thinking that it would be inconvenient for her to carry A Tao now, Ning Xiang went back to the house for the time being, and saw A Tao off before she came home.Girls love beauty regardless of age, Lu Cheng is confused and doesn't understand his younger sister's mind, but Ning Xiang knows that A Tao must really want it, especially when there is a comparison.

After putting away the noodle box, Ning Xiang stood in front of the cabinet and couldn't help picking up the box Lu Cheng gave her.

Opening the lid, the intoxicating fragrance of roses spread over her face, making her face red.

The scenes in Baogudi came to mind again.

Ning Xiang was ashamed and annoyed, she quickly closed the lid and stuffed the things back into the drawer, she would not easily forgive him for bullying people like that.

After playing with the children for half an hour, Lu Ding came to pick them up early again, making it clear that he didn't want to give people a misunderstanding.

Ningxiang sister and brother are still having dinner with the eldest aunt's family, Li's fire, Ningxiang is too embarrassed to take the initiative to stay, Li likes Atao Anan, but it's useless for her to stay, Lu Ding firmly refuses, seeing his sister and nephew sit still Yes, just drive away.At this time, Ning Xiang chased after two steps, secretly stuffed the noodle box to A Tao, and whispered: "A Tao, don't tell me, sister doesn't want others to know about my relationship with your elder brother."

A Tao looked at the few people at the door of Xu's house, she could only accept it, looked at Ning Xiang sincerely and said, "Sister Xu is so kind!"

Much better than big brother.

Ning Xiang smiled, kissed Anan again, stood where she was and watched them leave.

"Is Mr. Guo's car coming soon?" The family reunited in one place, Mrs. Li looked at the east of the village, and sent his son, "Hurry up and wait by the side of the road."

The niece said that Suyue would write a letter and give it to Guo Laosan to help carry it, but she remembered it all.

Xu Huai nodded and was about to leave, Ning Xiang wanted to go together, but was stopped by Li Shi, "It's a hot day, let your elder brother go."

Xu Huai also advised his younger sister, "Mr. Guo recognizes that we are a family, so Xiang'er can wait at home with peace of mind."

Ningxiang felt guilty, and was actually a little afraid to face Guo Laosan, so she nodded, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Xu Huai laughed at his cousin's politeness, and led his cousin away.

Ningxiang waited nervously at home, although she knew very well that Suyue must have spent this month very leisurely without Pei Jinghan.

Su Yue was really free, she didn't have to wait on anyone, and she didn't have any good sisters by her side, so she ran to the embroidery room, and asked Aunt Wan for some materials, and sewed a satin dress for Ning Xiang, a peach red embroidered panty, and a light green embroidered A white dress with lotus leaves and a light green belt.

In addition, she also made a suit of clothes for Amu, a sky-blue autumn shirt, the size of which was deliberately larger than what Ningxiang had talked about.

Xu Huai handed the parcel to her cousin and left. Xu Qiuer didn't catch up to see her cousin's gift, so only Ningxiang and her brother were in the room.

Opening the bag, Ningxiang was busy reading the letter hidden inside, Amu found that there were clothes for him, and excitedly tried it on.

Ningxiang didn't pay attention to her younger brother, she looked at the familiar Su Yue's handwriting, and her heart sank more and more.

Su Yue's letter has two pages, the first page is full of daily chores, misses her a lot, and finally hopes that she will go back to the Hou's mansion to see her when she is free, and the payment is over.On the second page, I changed the style and told Ningxiang that she wrote a letter on the second day Ningxiang left the mansion and ordered people to send it to Jingzhou as soon as possible, informing Pei Jinghan of her ransom and explaining the reason for doing so.

"Ningxiang, I am as close as sisters to you. You are usually so stupid that you would think that the process of redeeming yourself and leaving the house went so smoothly. He must suspect that I helped secretly. I wrote a letter in time to inform him. It’s much lower. For you, the crown prince will know sooner or later. If he hears the news of your redemption in Jingzhou, if he gets angry again, and rushes all the way back, his anger will dissipate a little. Otherwise, he won’t know until he returns to the Hou’s mansion. I’m afraid he will be furious. If you lose your mind, you will suffer a lot. In short, I am not afraid that you will blame me, but I just remind you that he may come back early, so be careful."

Finally asked her to burn this page.

Ning Xiang looked at it again, and managed to stabilize her uncontrollably trembling body.

How could she blame Suyue? Without Suyue's suggestion, she is still trapped in the Hou's mansion.

She was just afraid of Pei Jinghan. In her previous life, Pei Jinghan returned to Tai'an Mansion in early August. Ningxiang knew the exact date, so she felt that she still had a month to enjoy this peaceful farm life, but now, she could no longer guess when Pei Jinghan would Come back, as if he could appear in front of his house at any time.

Clutching the letter, Ning Xiang forced herself to be calm, secretly planning Pei Jinghan's return date.

Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from Tai'an Mansion, and Shen Youyou's mother and daughter can't bear the hardships, so it takes a month and a half to travel slowly on the road. The group set off in mid-May, and they have almost just arrived in Jingzhou.Although Su Yue's letter was only sent in early June, it was delivered quickly, and the letter may have already been delivered to Pei Jinghan.

In his previous life, Pei Jinghan stayed in Jingzhou for a while, and on the way back, he visited several famous mountains and rivers, playing and walking, so he was delayed until the beginning of August.If he didn't stay in Jingzhou and hurried back, he would probably be back in the middle of the month. If he wasn't particularly anxious to settle accounts with her and return after spending time with Shen Youyou's mother and daughter, then he would return at the end of the ten-day period, and any later would be the same as in his previous life.

In other words, she has at most ten days of free time.

"Sister, isn't it pretty?"

Her younger brother's excited voice was heard next to her ear, Ning Xiang raised her head, and saw her younger brother standing on the kang with his head held high, his eyes staring at her brightly.

"Looks good, isn't sister Suyue a coincidence?" Ningxiang said with a forced smile.

Amu nodded, looked at his sleeve and praised the sister he had never met before, then picked up his sister's new clothes and asked her to change.

Ningxiang folded the letter paper, went to the west room to change clothes for her younger brother to look at, was excited enough with her younger brother, changed back to the old clothes again, then went to the east courtyard to help her auntie cook for dinner, and quickly sent the second page of letter paper to Into the stove.

The flames quickly swept through the fine white paper, turning into ashes in an instant.

Jingzhou Prefecture.

A magnificent carriage slowly stopped outside Shen's house.

Pei Jinghan got off his horse and walked to the car, ready to help the beauty in the car to get off.

Shen Youyou bent over in a simple and elegant water-green skirt, and met Pei Jinghan's handsome smiling face. She smiled shyly, and shyly put her little hand into the big hand that the man stretched out.

The man stood firm, but the man's hand did not let go immediately.

"Cousin..." Shen Youyou called out with a red face.

Only then did Pei Jinghan let go, looking at Shen Youyou's beautiful face, thinking of the beauty on the boat who dozed off today, but woke up when he was about to steal a kiss, and glared at him angrily, his eyes moved to Shen Youyou's red lips, Decided to spend the Qixi Festival in Jingzhou before leaving.

A talented girl like my cousin is most particular about fun, and what day is more suitable for flowers before and under the moon than Qixi Festival?

He worked hard all the way to send her home, but he couldn't take any real advantage.

Sending Shen Youyou back to the inner courtyard, Pei Jinghan returned to his guest room.

As soon as Chang Shun saw the master coming back, he immediately took out the letter from his cuff and walked over quickly, "My lord, it was written by Su Yue."

Pei Jinghan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, took the letter, and it was indeed Su Yue's handwriting on the envelope.

Why did the little maid write a letter?
After ordering Chang Shun to prepare water, Pei Jinghan stepped into the side room, took off his coat to cool off, and then lazily leaned on the couch and tore open the envelope.

Su Yue's handwriting still didn't improve, Pei Jinghan shook his head after reading a line, but although he disliked the little maid's handwriting, he felt that this kind of handwriting that hadn't been carved before was somewhat simple and cute.

However, no matter how lovely the word is, the content it conveys cannot please people.

Before Changshun could go far outside, he heard a "bang" sound from behind, accompanied by the crackling sound of porcelain shattering.

The prince kicked over the Duobao Pavilion!

Chang Shun, who was familiar with the furnishings inside, immediately guessed the situation inside the house, and immediately walked back to the door, worriedly said: "My lord..."

"roll!"

The man drank like thunder.

Changshun was so frightened that he trembled, but he didn't dare to really get out, and he still waited at the door.

She even ransomed while he was away!

He felt sorry for her timidity, and tolerated her again and again, but she didn't know what to do to redeem herself!
"Prepare the horse!"

The letter paper in his hand was clenched into a ball, Pei Jinghan raised his eyes to look outside the door, and ordered in a cold voice.

He's going back now, and he wants her when he goes back, to see where she can go!
Chang Shun moved in tremblingly, looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, his chin almost dropped to his chest, "Where does your son want to go?"

"Go back to Tai'an Mansion." Pei Jinghan gritted his teeth, "Ningxiang redeemed herself, I'll go and see her."

Chang Shun's heart skipped a beat, but this was not the time to scold Ning Xiang for being stupid, he pondered for a moment, and then reminded devotedly: "My lord, you promised Biao girl to stay for a few more days, but now you want to leave suddenly, what excuse should we use? "

Pei Jinghan's expression changed slightly.

He can make excuses, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Once my cousin finds out that he left her today because of Ningxiang, the cousin dare not blame him. Between wives and concubines...

"Go down." Pei Jinghan went to the inner room with a sullen face, and did not mention the return journey.

However, not long after, he called Changshun in again, ordering him to return to Tai'an immediately and run errands for him.
