Chapter 10
Intentionally changed the topic, "It's you, the wife and my mother have been away for so many years, don't you think it's time for you to add a new mother for my sister and me?" As he spoke, he winked at Lu Mingfu I rolled my eyes.

Lu Mingfu understood, and hurriedly continued her words: "Yes, Dad, these years you have to worry about the family business and take care of our sisters by yourself. You are so busy that you don't even have a day to relax. If you have a new wife, not only Dad Someone will take care of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and dad will not have to worry about the trivial matters at home, so dad will have nothing to worry about, and he can be more open when doing things outside in the future."

Without waiting for Lu Zhongxian to speak, Lu Mingxuan laughed again: "If Daddy welcomed the new wife in a year ago, maybe by this time next year, we will have an extra little brother, don't you think so, sister?"

Lu Mingfu nodded again and again: "Yeah, daddy can be regarded as a successor!"

The two sisters talked to each other, causing a suspicious blush on Lu Zhongxian's dark face. After all, the daughters were talking about his marriage and heirs, and even a father couldn't calm down.

Lu Zhongxian clenched his fist against his mouth and pretended to cough twice, then put on a straight face and pretended to be stern and said to Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan: "These things are your family's responsibility, you two little girls, what's the matter? , The previous two years of reading the books were wasted, and the month of learning the rules from Kong Nanny was also wasted?"

After Lu Zhongxian received his errand in the Duke's Mansion, he went in and out of the Duke's Mansion almost every day. After hearing a lot about how the Duke's Mansion educates the girls, he came up with the idea of ​​raising his own daughters in the same way. Of course, his financial resources are limited. I couldn't keep a female husband and Nanny Jingqi at home for a long time, because I only signed a two-year contract with one female gentleman, and asked her to lead Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan to learn Chinese characters for two years, and read the Fourth Female Book once. They also learned the etiquette for a month from Nurse Jingqi. Although the two sisters' talents and etiquette are not as good as the official girls of the Duke's Mansion, they are rare among all the side girls.

But Lu Zhongxian was not the strict and pedantic father who was full of rules and etiquette, even if he deliberately put on a straight face at this moment, it still had no deterrent effect on Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan.

Lu Mingxuan first laughed and said: "Why can't we take care of these things? Marrying a new wife is not only a matter of Dad alone, it also has a great relationship with us. Let's not talk about it, just say that my sister should discuss it in the past two years. Darling, is it true that dad wants her sister to be criticized as a 'widowed eldest daughter' and miss out on a great marriage? After my sister goes to her husband's house, there will be a big difference between having her natal brothers and not having her natal brothers backing her It's gone, can't Daddy bear to watch my sister being bullied by her mother-in-law and younger sisters because there is no one in her mother's house..."

"If you persuade Daddy, just persuade Daddy, and what are you doing with me? You keep talking nonsense, and see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" Lu Mingfu couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed when she heard what she said. Go forward and tear her mouth out.

Naturally, Lu Mingxuan would not just stand obediently and wait for her to tear her mouth open, so she hurriedly hid behind Lu Zhongxian, "Look, Dad, my sister is bullying me again, this kind of temper is fine in my own house, it's okay to go to my husband's house." What to do, just focus on this point, you should also marry a new wife as soon as possible, so that you can control her temperament."

"You still said, you still said..." Lu Mingfu became more and more embarrassed, and went around Lu Zhongxian to grab Lu Mingxuan.

The two sisters circled around Lu Zhongxian until they were both out of breath, and then stopped under Lu Zhongxian's stop.

Seeing that the two daughters were so tired that their faces were flushed and they were out of breath, Lu Zhongxian was both angry and funny, and said: "How old are you two, and you are still so naughty, so you are not afraid of being laughed at by others? "

Lu Mingxuan really loves this lively warmth, panting and laughing: "Isn't there no one else around? There are only three of us, father and daughter. There is no one who is closer than us in this world. No one is like a god." What are you doing?"

It was said that the love and comfort in Lu Zhongxian's eyes became more and more overflowing, and Lu Mingfu's expression softened a lot. Seeing it, Lu Mingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu were happy, they would not In vain for her to act like a coquettish fool by acting like a fool.

After laughing, Lu Mingxuan said seriously: "Father, what I said to my sister just now has been carefully thought through these days, and it's not just empty talk. I just don't know what rules you have in mind?"

Lu Mingfu also said sternly: "Yes, Dad, there are only three of us, father and daughter, just like my sister said, there is no one who is closer than us in this world, if you think what my sister and I said is reasonable, please wait and see." After a while, I hired a matchmaker to find a good creature, so I don’t have to think about our sisters. You have raised us so much and sacrificed a lot for our sisters. You have fulfilled your responsibility as a father, and now it is time for us Live by yourself, otherwise my sister and I will never feel at ease for the rest of our lives!"

The daughters are so caring, Lu Zhongxian couldn't put on a strict father's air anymore, so he could only blushed and hesitated: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that your sisters are still young... Wait a few years before your sisters grow up." Let's talk about it later..." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Mingxuan unconsciously, he hadn't forgotten how angry his little daughter was when he said he planned to remarry last year, although he didn't know why his little daughter suddenly changed her attitude today, but he also Don't take it lightly.

Lu Mingxuan saw Lu Zhongxian looking at herself unconsciously while talking, but she understood his thoughts, she was ashamed and blamed herself, and hurriedly said: "Father, I know what you are worried about. I was ignorant before, but now I have figured it out. , the words just now are all from the heart, please don’t worry about my momentary confusion, if my momentary confusion ruins your marriage or even leaves you with no successors, cut off the incense in our family, and let my sister have no If you are close to my brother, then I will really die and cannot escape the blame, please don’t let me bear such a crime!" After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground.

"Father, to tell you the truth, it was my younger sister who brought this matter up to me first." Seeing Lu Zhongxian's still hesitant face, Lu Mingfu hurriedly knelt down on the spot and added, "My younger sister, she is real. I've already figured it out, and people are much more sensible than before. You can tell just by looking at how well our sisters get along now. You really don't have to worry about us getting along well with the new wife. As long as we treat the new wife with sincerity, Human hearts are made of flesh, I believe the new wife will treat us with sincerity, please don't wait for a few more years, and start to deal with this matter after this busy period, my sister and I hope to be able to do more soon A new younger brother will save those malicious people in the clan from staring at our family again... Think of it as daughters begging daddy!"

For Lu Zhongxian, whether or not to marry a new wife is secondary, and whether he has a son to inherit the incense is the most important thing, so Lu Mingxuan's sentence, "Let you have no successor, cut off the incense of our family" and Lu Mingxuan Mingfu's words, "It will also save those in the clan with malicious intentions from staring at our family again" can be said to have touched his heart, making him unable to say that he will wait a few years for the two sisters to grow up before considering continuing. If you marry.
