Lu Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, took the tray from Lu Mingfu's hand and put it down, took a cup of tea and took a few sips before she smiled and said, "It would be more interesting if the expression on my sister's face wasn't so smug."

Lu Mingfu was so angry and funny at the same time, she took the snacks on the tray away, and said angrily: "Since you say that about me, you don't want to eat this snack."

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, can't it be okay if I was wrong, I'm hungry, sister just give me a piece, one piece is fine." After calling Lu Mingfu more than a dozen times "good sister", The latter finally graciously put the snack plate in front of her.

Seeing Lu Mingxuan eating some dim sum, Lu Mingfu twirled it together and began to eat, saying, "I used to think our dim sum was delicious, but now it's really not that good, and the house is too. , I never felt cramped before, and it was inconvenient to even turn around!"

Lu Mingxuan smiled and said: "This is 'easy to go from frugal to extravagant, difficult to go from extravagant to frugal'." In fact, it is more comfortable for her to live in her own room in the Lu family, if she can not enter the Duke's mansion in the future , that's even better.

Lu Mingfu nodded and said: "That's right. Although the Duke's Mansion has many rules, it can only move around in that narrow world all day long. Occasionally, such and such unpleasant things happen, but overall, it is better Our own home is much better and we can learn a lot, so we don’t have to think about what we have in the future, just be filial to the old lady and stay at the Duke’s mansion with peace of mind.”

The two sisters chatted for a while, then Lu Zhongxian sent his mother-in-law to invite them to the main room, and when they went there to have a look, they saw that the whole family was there.

The two first paid New Year's greetings to Lu Zhongxian, received the New Year's money, and together with Lu Zhongxian, received New Year's greetings from all the servants, and distributed the rewards.At that time, it was almost dark, Lu Zhongxian lit the lanterns by order, and lit up all the big red lanterns in the porch, they were all glowing red, looking very festive.

A total of three tables were opened for the New Year's Eve dinner. Lu Zhongxian and his two daughters set up a table in the inner room, Mama Li led the girl and woman to set up a table in the hallway, and the butler led the servants to set up a table in the flower hall.

Lu Zhongxian was obviously in high spirits. He drank most of a pot of wine by himself, then looked at his two daughters and sighed, "If your mother was still here, seeing how outstanding you are now, you might not be so happy. Tomorrow Remember to burn incense sticks to your respective mothers, talk to them, and make them happy too."

Originally, after the two daughters went to the Duke's Mansion, he was still worried that they would not be able to adapt to the life inside or suffer some grievances for nothing. Who knew that in just over three months, the two daughters had grown taller and their skin had turned white, not to mention, In every gesture, they also carried the nobility of the daughters of the daughters of the Duke's Mansion. The so-called "juyi qi nourishes the body". Given time, they are not sure how they will be outstanding. With such two daughters, he Life is really satisfying!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Mingxuan woke up to the sound of firecrackers. She looked out of the window and saw that it was still dark, so she lay in bed for a while until Danqing woke up. After washing up, she went to the main room .

Lu Zhongxian was already dressed and sitting in the living room, when he saw Lu Mingxuan coming in, he smiled and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer, is it because the bed at home is too hard for you to sleep on?"

Lu Mingxuan said angrily: "What did Daddy say, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest, and besides, I have only been in the Duke's mansion for a long time, and I despise my own bed, then who am I?" She did toss and turn until after midnight before falling asleep in a daze, but it was definitely not because her bed was uncomfortable.

Just as he was talking, Lu Mingfu came in. Hearing this, he also said: "No matter how soft and comfortable the bed in the Duke's mansion is, it is also the bed in the Duke's mansion. How can it be compared with our own bed? Did we just leave?" In three months, have you changed from the owner of this house to the guest? Then we should not go back to the Duke's mansion on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and stay at home in the future, so that our father will no longer treat us as daughters in the future."

Lu Zhong obviously only cared about his daughter in vain, but who knew that it caused the two daughters to talk, so he touched his nose embarrassingly, and said, "I didn't mean that, I just cared about you... That's all, I won't say that in the future The words are, under the new year, you don't want to be angry with your father again?"

The two laughed and said: "We are not angry with Daddy, but we just feel a little uncomfortable hearing what Daddy said. Daddy will never say such things again in the future."

Lu Zhongxian hurriedly said: "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

It happened that Mama Li led someone to bring glutinous rice balls in, and the three father and daughter took up the topic and ate the hot glutinous rice balls.

After eating glutinous rice balls, Lu Zhongxian went to the Duke's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and told Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu to stay at home to rest, and when he came back, he would take them to the homes of some close relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.

Lu Mingxuan didn't have much interest in this, but she didn't want to spoil Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingxuan's interest, so after Lu Zhongxian came back, she went with her father and sister to the homes of several relatives and friends, and gained a lot of compliments or flattery. Or sour words and a bunch of silver coins of different sizes.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year the next day, Lu Zhongxian took Lu Mingfu out of the city to visit his natal family. Although Zhang's parents died early, he had an elder brother and a sister. Both of them treated Zhang very well back then, so even though Zhang had left After many years, Lu Zhongxian still keeps in touch with his uncles and aunts, and he never forgets to give gifts at all seasons.

Originally, Lu Mingfu also tried her best to invite Lu Mingxuan to go with her - the Li family, like Danqing, was bought by the Duke's mansion from outside back then and had no relatives. Considering that she was alone, the matter would not be easily leaked and it would be easy to manage. Naturally, Lu Mingxuan had no natal family to leave. The two sisters were at odds before, and Lu Mingfu never thought of inviting Lu Mingxuan to her natal family, but It's different now, although the two of them are not as good as one person, they are much better than before, so Lu Mingfu's invitation is absolutely sincere.

It's a pity that Lu Mingxuan had other arrangements, but she couldn't accept Lu Mingfu's kindness. She just said that she was not feeling well and wanted to stay at home to rest, and then sent away Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu who were full of regret.

After Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu left, Lu Mingxuan ordered someone to prepare a car, took Danqing and two servants with her, and went out of the house to the west fourth archway.

When Lu Zhongxian entered the inner courtyard for the second time to invite Mrs. Lu to see the two sisters by the way, she learned about the successful opening of her shop from Lu Zhongxian. The agreed code word, but after all, she has not seen it with her own eyes, so she doesn't know the specific situation, and she still has a lot of things to tell Huang's mother and Xiao Li about the business strategy of the store, so this trip is a must.
