Chapter 45 Mother and Daughter
Like a cannonball, Lu Zhongxian wanted to interrupt her at first, but after trying several times, he couldn't find a chance to speak, so he could only let her continue. Anyway, when she said she was tired, she would always stop .

Lu Zhongxian then sat down, watched his eldest daughter scold him, and slowly sipped his tea, the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy, he just felt that looking at his two daughters like this was already the happiest and most satisfying thing in the world.

Although Lu Mingxuan wanted to say something to Lu Zhongxian full of concern, but Lu Mingfu had already said what she had to say, so she didn't say anything, but just like Lu Zhongxian, she smiled at Lu Mingfu while drinking tea, and there was a feeling in her heart. "It would be great if time could stay in this moment forever".

Lu Mingfu talked a lot, and finally found that her father and sister had been staring at her, and the smiles on their faces were a bit narrow no matter how they looked, she couldn't help but blushed, stomped her feet and said: "Both father and sister are watching Why are you looking at me, did I say something wrong? Or did I suddenly grow flowers on my face?"

Lu Zhongxian smiled and said, "You are right, and there are no flowers growing on your face."

"Then why do you keep looking at me?" Lu Mingfu pouted.

Lu Mingxuan suppressed a smile and said, "Don't tell me daddy and I have to look at my sister because she says something wrong or has flowers on her face? Can't we just look at my sister because of her eloquence?" The word 'good eloquence' Being dragged so long by her deliberately narrow, the meaning of the joke is self-evident.

Lu Mingfu was angry and funny, and shouted, "Okay, if you dare to bury me, I'll see if I don't tear your mouth off", and rushed towards Lu Mingxuan.

Seeing this, Lu Zhongxian hurriedly got up and stood between the two daughters, and said with a smile: "When I was in the old lady's room, I thought it was only a short period of twenty days, and you have become quite stable, so it can be seen that you are an old lady." You are well-trained, who knows that you have shown your true colors in such a short time, and if you don't sit down, our father and daughter will talk in a gentle manner, otherwise I will go out later, and I don't know when I will be able to talk to you. See you again."

These words made the father and daughter feel heavy, and Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan were no longer in the mood to joke, because they asked about Lu Zhongxian's diet and daily life seriously these days, and at the end Lu Mingfu sighed: "If Daddy can come soon Marry a new wife and come in, now someone will take care of my father, so my sister and I don't have to worry..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was blaming Lu Mingxuan for his words, so he glanced at Lu Mingxuan hurriedly.

Lu Mingxuan naturally understood why Lu Mingfu looked at her, but she didn't take it for granted, she just said: "Yes, Dad, you promised me and my sister before that you would marry a new wife as soon as possible, and now you are already working on it Is it? My sister and I are still looking forward to when we go home for the Chinese New Year, there will be tea and rice ready-made, so we don’t have to worry about anything, just be pampered guests!”

Lu Zhongxian saw that his two daughters were staring at him closely, and his face was slightly hot, so he said: "I have my own sense of proportion, you don't have to worry about this matter, why don't you marry a newcomer, and when I go home for the New Year Will it starve you and freeze you?"

While talking, he hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, Xuan'er, my mother Huang came to see me and said that Xiao Li had recently found a new place to work, which is in the Comb Alley of Xisi Pailou. I ask if you have any words or things to bring to Xiaoli, and she can pass them on when she comes to say hello to me in a few days."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Mingxuan originally wanted to ask Lu Zhongxian when he got married, but she couldn't care less about it for a while, and hurriedly said, "Daddy heard correctly, Xiao Li's new job is in Comb Alley, Xisi Pailou?"

Lu Zhongxian nodded: "Mother Huang said so."

So, Mama Huang and the others have already sold the shop?Lu Mingxuan thought to herself, she knew that in the Comb Alley of Xisi Pailou, more than half of the shops in the street sold combs, so there were a lot of female customers coming and going, Mama Huang and the others would choose the place.

It turned out that before entering the Duke's mansion, Lu Mingxuan had made an agreement with Huang's mother, Xiaoli, and after they finished setting up the shop, Huang's mother used an excuse to greet Lu Zhongxian, and asked Lu Zhongxian to tell that Xiaoli had found a new job. As for the place, it was natural It's the shop under the new market. At that time, she will ask Lu Zhongxian to bring them a letter to arrange for some business. That's why Lu Mingxuan was so happy when she heard that Lu Zhongxian came, because not only can she see her father, but it also means that she The business can finally start.

Lu Mingxuan pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Xiao Li followed me after all, I really have a few pieces of jewelry that I don't often wear, and I have forgotten about it for a while. If that's the case, I will trouble Dad to bring them to you." Mama Huang, let Mama Huang bring it to her."

Saying so, she called Ban Xiang in, and told her to go back and fetch a black lacquered and gilded box under the mirror stand, which she had prepared early in the morning. What kind of jewelry is worth the money? It’s just right to reward Xiao Li, but in fact, there are a few drawings of jewelry drawings and a letter written by her. As long as Mama Huang and the others read the letter, they will know what to do. She didn't know when Lu Zhongxian would come in, so she prepared it early in the morning, and now it finally came in handy—fortunately, when she and Lu Mingfu were studying, Xiaoli and Xiaotao also attended, and they knew a few hundred people well. Otherwise, she would have to worry about whether Mother Huang and the others would accidentally leak the news when they asked someone to read the letter.

For a while, Banxiang brought the box, Lu Mingxuan took it, and when Lu Zhongxian opened his face to let him take a look at the jewelry inside, he closed the box, handed it to Lu Zhongxian with both hands, and said, "I'm going to trouble Dad, Huang." Mom and Xiaoli have served me after all, and I will ask Daddy to take care of them more in the future."

Lu Zhongxian said: "You and my father and daughter, what are you doing with these polite words?" Putting the box away, he asked them about their daily life and how they lived in the Duke's mansion these days, and told them Always listen to Mrs. Lu's words, you must get along well with the girls, you must be kind to others, and if you lack money, ask someone to bring him a message... It's the same old talk, all kinds of things, until there is a wife After politely urging him, Fang reluctantly left after Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu sent him off.

When Lu Zhongxian, father and daughter Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan were talking about themselves, in the upper room of the Duke's mansion, Mrs. Lu, mother and daughter Lu Mingfeng were also talking about themselves.

"Mother, drink tea." Lu Mingfeng took the tea from the servant girl and served it to Mrs. Lu herself. After Mrs. Lu accepted it with a smile, she also took a few sips of a cup, and then said to Mrs. Lu with a smile: " It's still the tea fragrance from my mother's place, but the tea in my house is not half as good as here."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to lightly poke her daughter's forehead, and then said with a smile, "The tea in your room is all given by your grandmother, who doesn't know that everything in your grandmother's room is full of food and clothing. The best in the house? You can just say this in front of me, let your grandmother hear it, and she will not be happy if you look carefully. "
