Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 4
Lu Zhongxian didn't expect Lu Mingxuan to say such a thing, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Xuan'er has grown up, is sensible, and knows how to love Daddy and sister, Daddy is so happy!" Full of joy and relief.

Lu Mingxuan also laughed, but her heart was full of soreness. She only said a few words of concern for her father, and only gave way to Lu Mingfu a little. She was able to make her father so happy. If she could do this in her previous life, her father was Wouldn't it be much happier?
Compared to Lu Zhongxian's joy and relief, Lu Mingfu was much more surprised than Lu Mingxuan took the initiative to salute her in the garden just now and offered to show her goodwill. The gaze that looked at Lu Mingxuan also brought a bit of scrutiny and vigilance It's true that the two have been used to fighting for so many years, but today Lu Mingxuan suddenly transformed into a good sister who respects and loves her sister, it's really unbelievable!
Lu Mingxuan knew that it would be difficult for Lu Mingfu to accept her transformation all at once, and she was not in a hurry. She met Lu Mingfu's scrutinizing and vigilant eyes and smiled, "Kong Rong knew how to make pears when he was four years old. Nine years old, is it not as good as a four-year-old child?"

Lu Mingfu curled her lips lightly, and said, "Sister, just pick what you like, lest when I finish picking, she says I won't let you, and hold good things and don't give you, you're not like a big sister."

Hearing the words, Lu Mingxuan thought for a while, walked to the table according to the words, and checked the pile of materials, but what she said surprised Lu Mingfu again, "This horse with the color of sea and sky is really good, if it is made into a skirt , and then embroidered with silver thread full of lotus or wisteria patterns on it, it’s not sure how beautiful it is, but I think it’s suitable for my sister to wear, does my sister think it’s good?”

Without waiting for Lu Mingfu to answer, he giggled and said, "If it is paired with a set of pearl hair, I'm not afraid that all the wives who are going to pay birthday wishes will stare at my sister, and my father's wish will most likely come true. "

Lu Mingfu was just surprised that Lu Mingxuan was going to provoke her for how to dress herself, when she heard her last two words, Lu Zhongxian seemed to be at the end of the day, and she didn't stick to the rules at all. Hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, her face Immediately, Hua'er laughed and booed, "Yes, yes, yes, Fu'er, just do what Xuan'er said, and put on another set of pearl hair, and Xuan'er will do the same... No, it's just you two sisters I have two sets, and I will have people from the Yinlou come to the door tomorrow, saying that you are all big girls, and you should have a few sets of head jewelry when you go out to meet guests."

Lu Mingfu was so ashamed that her cheeks flushed, so she had no choice but to give Lu Mingxuan a hard look. Who knew that Lu Mingxuan was not afraid of her at all, but instead made a grimace at her, making her shy and angry, stamping her feet coquettishly. , and ran out, Lu Zhongxian's hearty laughter could be heard from far away.

Lu Zhongxian didn't have lunch at home. Next month will be the old man's birthday, and there will be countless people who will come to celebrate his birthday. A low-key, can be the senior status of the old country's father-in-law, and he is sixty years old, how can he be low-key if he wants to be low-key?

Since last month, many relatives, friends, old friends and generals of Duke Dingguo's Mansion have sent birthday gifts to Beijing from all over the country either in person or through people, and some members of the Lu family in their hometown of Yangzhou have also sent birthday gifts to Beijing. One after another, they came to Beijing for the old man's birthday.The Lu family has been prosperous for many years. Some old people are doing well in business or their children are promising, and they live a prosperous life. Some of them are unavoidably poor because of poor management or their children are not likeable. The birthday gifts they give are natural. Also uneven.

The old man made a special statement for this: "Although we are developed, we must not forget that we can't write two characters of 'Lu' in one stroke. It is their wish that poor relatives are willing to come to celebrate their birthdays. No gifts are worth it, you must take good care of their food, daily life, food and clothing, and be careful when you talk, and you must not let them be wronged, let alone lose everyone's tolerance, and also hurt the relationship between relatives Minute."

Therefore, Lu Zhongxian, who was busy with the current Ding Guogong Lu Zhongmian on weekdays, became even busier because of this. He just sent the clothes back, but it was just a sneak in from his busy schedule. Now that the clothes have been delivered, naturally he dared not delay any longer, so he hurried back I went to the Duke's mansion.

After all, a big family like the Duke's Mansion is even thicker than ordinary people's waists, and many of the managers in the mansion are better off than the side branches. Lu Zhongxian got this opportunity and earned his current family fortune by marrying Li Shi Zhihua, the first-class maid beside the old lady, who was also Lu Mingxuan's mother. Of course, he dare not take it lightly.

And as long as Lu Zhongxian didn't eat at home, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu always ate separately, and today was no exception.

Xiaoli put the four dishes of two meat and two vegetables on the tray and a bowl of round-grained rice one by one on the table, and said to Lu Mingxuan while putting them on the table: "Today, there is a shredded chicken with silver buds that the girl likes to eat, girl, come quickly and take advantage of it." Eat it hot, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Lu Mingxuan really didn't have any appetite at the moment, but she still sat down at the table and started eating in a leisurely manner. After a while, she finished a bowl full of rice, and then stretched out the bowl to Xiaoli: "Today This one’s food is pretty good, go to the kitchen and fill me with half a bowl of rice.”

When Xiaoli just saw that she had finished eating a bowl full of rice, her complexion was already a little ugly. If it wasn't for the fact that she was so good at eating, Xiaoli was stunned for a while, and she would have spoken to stop her. Knowing that she said this again, Xiao Li's face immediately turned green, and she couldn't help saying: "Girl didn't sleep well last night, it's time to get a good rest, if you eat too much, in case What can I do if I accumulate food?"

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but said: "If you are told to go, you can go. If you don't go, I will go by myself!" After speaking, she wanted to get up. In her previous life, she listened to Lu Mingzhu's words too much. After a full meal, several times he even fainted from hunger under the watchful eyes of the public, which resulted in a reputation of being "frail and sickly" among relatives and friends. No one came to propose marriage until he was 15 years old. It was very difficult in marriage Otherwise, she wouldn't have drank the misty soup poured by Lu Mingzhu so easily, and agreed to marry her to the Duke Chang's mansion with her as Teng's concubine. In this life, she would never wrong herself like this again!

After all, Xiaoli didn't dare to disobey her girl's order, and was just about to go with a bitter face, when the savior, mother Huang, came in, and Xiaoli hurriedly said: "Young lady has already eaten a whole bowl of rice, so let me go to the kitchen to add more food." Go, mother, please persuade the girl."

Mama Huang's face turned green when she heard this. Since her daughter was seriously ill, she eats much better than before, except that she is not allowed to light the lamp after going to bed at night. If you continue to eat like this, if you become a big fat man, what should you do?Yin hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "I just heard from the kitchen that there is milk mutton that the girl loves to eat at night. The girl is too full to eat at night. Isn't it all cheap for the big girl?"
