Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 2 Sister
The Lu family and Dingguo's mansion were the same family that did not have five clothes. Lu Mingxuan's great-great-grandfather and the third generation of Dingguo were brothers, but since the family was separated, no matter how famous and wealthy the Dingguo's mansion was It's all about Dingguo's mansion. The Lu family is just a side branch of Dingguo's mansion. Naturally, they can't have a group of servants like Dingguo's mansion, especially the girl's family is a spoiled guest, and they should be served by gold slaves and silver maidservants. .Mother Huang and Xiao Li said that they were Lu Mingxuan's nanny and maidservant, but they not only had to serve Lu Mingxuan on weekdays, but also took some other errands, so Lu Mingxuan said this.

Huang's mother refused to go to bed as she said, but said: "The girl is only nine years old, why is she not a child, but a person of my age, how come so much sleep can be slept, if you let the child Lai Yatou is going to sleep outside, so it's okay for me to stay and talk with the girl?"

But Lu Mingxuan said decisively: "No need for mother, you and Xiao Li go to sleep outside, let me lie down quietly for a while, maybe I will fall asleep when I lie down?" I had no choice but to close my eyes, "I already feel a little sleepy and want to sleep, you all go out!"

Seeing this, Huang's mother had no choice but to twist the quilt with her, sighed in her heart, and stepped back with Xiao Li.

Only then did Lu Mingxuan open her eyes. Looking at the sky that was gradually turning pale outside the window, she secretly rejoiced in her heart that it was so good that she could still see the dawn, the sunrise, and... had the chance to change herself. A life of failure in one life will never repeat the mistakes of the previous life!

Lu Mingxuan just stared at the sky steadfastly until the sun showed its head, then got up and got out of bed, and called out: "Xiao Li, fetch some hot water, I'm getting up."

"Hey, girl, I'll go right away." Xiaoli replied crisply, and soon came in with hot water, and Mama Huang also came in. Seeing the blue shadows under Lu Mingxuan's eyes, she wanted to go to the kitchen immediately People boil eggs to go.

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly said: "No need, I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry, mom will bring breakfast quickly, I'll go for a walk in the yard after eating, and I'll be fine."

Huang's mother heard her say that she was hungry, thinking that she was growing up, afraid of starving her, so she hurriedly responded: "I'll go now." She went to the kitchen to get breakfast.

After a simple breakfast, Lu Mingxuan went to her backyard. The Lu family only entered the house twice. The first entry was for entertaining guests, and the second entry was for the three masters. The head of the family, Lu Zhongxian, lived in the main house. The eldest daughter, Lu Mingfu, lived in the East Wing, and the daughter, Lu Mingxuan, lived in the West Wing. There was a row of rear rooms behind it, but it was for a dozen servants, and there was a small garden about half an mu of land. , planted a few trees and a few flowers, in all fairness, it was nothing to write home about.

But in the eyes of Lu Mingxuan, who had seen many fairylands in Mingyuan in her previous life, she felt that there was no place with a better scenery than this, a place that was more intimate and nostalgic for her.

Mother Huang was worried about Lu Mingxuan being alone, so she insisted on dismissing Xiaoli to follow Lu Mingxuan. Seeing an osmanthus flower blooming just right in the garden, Xiao Liyin said, "The osmanthus flower hasn't bloomed yet, but today's one It’s fully bloomed, it’s so fragrant, if you can make fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cake with these flowers, it might not be delicious.”

"Hey——" There was a laughing sound from the side, and then I saw a girl of eleven or twelve years old, wearing lotus-colored trousers and a water-red pleated skirt, who looked slim and graceful, came out from behind the flowers, and there were still people behind her. Followed by a servant girl, none other than Lu Mingxuan's elder sister, Lu Mingfu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan were born of Lu Zhongxian's first wife, Zhang Shi, who had the same father and half mother.

She is about half a head taller than ordinary people of the same age, with slightly plump cheeks, a straight nose, and a pair of watery eyes under the two curved eyebrows. Although she is not very beautiful, she is very delicate and delicate. Comfortable, plus she has a slender waist and long legs, and she is just at the age of a pinch of water, so she can be regarded as a rare beauty.

It's just that the relationship between her and Lu Mingxuan's sisters has been bad since she was a child. Her mother also passed away when she was five years old. In fact, she never treated Lu Mingfu harshly, but this still does not prevent the two of them from fighting each other to the death, fighting for Lu Zhongxian's love, clothes, and food. Everything that can be contested must be contested.

As a result, the girl and mother-in-law of the two were also pointed at Maimang, wanting to stab at each other whenever they had the opportunity, and the person who just laughed at it was Lu Mingfu's girl, Xiaotao, and after that, Xiaotao's Sarcasm: "Sister Xiaoli, look at your drool-like appearance. If other people see it, they will think that the second girl is short of your food. You can think of everything you see!"

Xiaoli blushed when she was told, and said not to be outdone, "Sister Xiaotao, which eye saw me drooling? Besides, even if I really drool, what are you doing? Even our girl didn't say a word, you don't care." Got it?"

Xiaotao said: "If it's something else, I can't care about it, but if you make it clear that you're embarrassing the master and the two girls, I can take care of it. Since I am a servant of the Lu family, I naturally have to respect the master and the two girls in everything. The two girls are the first, and you are also a servant of the Lu family, do you have any ambiguity?"

Seeing that the hat Xiaotao put on herself was getting bigger and bigger, Xiaoli was very angry, but in a hurry, she couldn't find anything to refute Xiaotao, so she stomped her foot and said to Lu Mingxuan: "Girl, I am loyal to the master and you , have no second thoughts, you can make the decision for me..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Mingxuan in a low voice: "Okay, don't say any more, since you call Xiaotao 'sister', she will naturally teach you a lesson, just listen to it, next time if you speak rudely again, you will be punished." Don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and servant!" After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at Xiao Li's aggrieved face, and stepped forward to bow her knees to salute Lu Mingfu, "Sister also came to visit the garden?"

The rival who has been fighting openly and secretly for many years actually took the initiative to salute and say hello to him, and for the first time even protected his girl regardless of right or wrong. Could it be that he is playing some crooked ideas?

Lu Mingfu was full of astonishment and surprise, thinking that her ears had misheard, she hurriedly raised her head to look at Lu Mingxuan, trying to see some clues from her face, and she was even more surprised and surprised when she saw it—— Lu Mingxuan wore a purple gauze skirt with plain powder today. She combed her hair with flower buds, and on each side she wore a pair of braids mixed with pink ribbons hanging on both shoulders, and tied two bouquets of pink ribbons at the ends. Tassels look indescribably delicate in powder velvet, and Yuxue is cute.

It's not as usual anymore, I have to learn how to comb those hair buns that only a big girl can do, and wear jewelry that a big girl can wear, and somehow I suddenly figured it out?

It turned out that Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu were almost two years apart. Lu Mingfu was tall and tall, and anyone who saw her would have to say "you're a big girl", but Lu Mingxuan was almost a head shorter than her. In comparison, naturally It doesn't have anything to do with the word "big girl", but in order to compete with Lu Mingfu, Lu Mingxuan likes to pretend to be old-fashioned at a young age, so she also wears big girl's clothes, combs big girl's hair style, and wears big girl's hair style. The jewelry looks old-fashioned, like a golden shell on the peony, but it lacks charm and greatly reduces the natural beauty.
