Yijia Yishi

Chapter 96
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, a heavy snow fell, covering the entire Changle Town in white.

The news of An Zhijin's lack of promotion also came along with the wind and snow, disturbing the An's family.

Mrs. Lu is the most opportunistic person. After hearing the news, her first reaction was to call Mrs. Wu over, and while drinking hot tea, she said softly to Mrs. Wu: "Now you are in good spirits. It's better, and you should help your sister-in-law to share the burden of the New Year's greetings."

In the past years, Mrs. Wu was always sick, and her thoughts were all spent on the children, so Aunt An has been taking care of the welcoming and sending off.She almost didn't care about how many gifts were given or received, and she let Aunt An's report count.

Two days ago, she wanted to find a red coral bracelet for Lu Shuyi, but the bracelet was clearly on the account, but the item disappeared...

Looks like it should be taken care of.

Wu frowned and smiled, and replied: "My daughter-in-law knows, but she is afraid that she won't be able to do well... After all, Aunt An helped her in previous years."

The old lady Lu didn't think so, put down the tea bowl and said, "If you want to do it, you can do it. Don't you have your sister-in-law to help?"

Mrs. Wu just casually said something modest, she smiled and said, "The daughter-in-law has come to serve you since the first day of junior high school!"

The old lady Lu didn't say anything, which was her tacit consent.

The wind and snow outside are getting heavier, and large flakes of snowflakes are covering the sky and rolling in the cold wind.The old lady Lu sighed: "With such a heavy snowstorm, your sixth brother and the others won't be able to go home for the New Year this year...I'm always worried that their family is in Beijing."

Mrs. Lu loved Mr. Lu Liu the most, and Wu comforted him in a warm voice: "When the weather clears, the sixth brother will definitely come. Don't worry!"

"...That's good." Old lady Lu raised her hand and took another sip of fragrant tea, and said slowly, "Seventh girl, that girl is reckless. Last time when we came back from Su's house, she called Aunt An as mother when she got out of the car. It's because they don't understand the rules. It's a big Chinese New Year, if something goes wrong in front of the guests, it will lose face to our Lu family."

Mrs. Wu hurriedly said, "It's the daughter-in-law who can't teach well."

"...The child you taught is very good. I have seen Sanya very well recently. She looks good, does things well, and has a good temper. I used to think she was naughty, but I was wrong." Mrs. Lu The wife looked at Wu's face, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Go back and make two new year clothes for the third girl. When you come on the first day of the new year, bring her to serve me."

Wu Shi pinched her fingers, and she understood.

During the Chinese New Year, the wives of each family will send someone to give gifts, or come here in person.Let Lu Shuyi follow, it must be to show her her in-laws...

With the protection of Mrs. Lu, it will not be a problem for Lu Shuyi to choose a good home in the future.

Wu's heart is at ease.

"...As for Qiyatou, go back and teach her well. If you can't teach her well, don't let her come out during the Chinese New Year." Old Madam Lu's tone was cold, her eyes fell on the clear tea soup in the teacup, and she said lightly: "People who can't learn the rules well, why come out?"

Wu Shi nodded, and said softly: "That child is younger after all."

"Aren't Ba Yatou younger than her? I haven't seen Ba Yatou making troubles on weekdays." Mrs. Lu glanced at Mrs. Wu, always feeling that Mrs. Wu was too wordy.

Given her rights, she also considers for an aunt's child...

With such a temperament, it's no wonder that he was played by an aunt and almost lost his life.

Mrs. Lu didn't like Wu Shi's cowardice in her heart, so she lightly raised her hand and said, "Go."

Rejoiced in her heart, Mrs. Wu went all the way to the Champs Courtyard with the support of Madam Zhao.

Zhao Nanny said in a low voice: "I just heard from Madam Qian, who is next to the old lady, that Aunt An's eldest brother, Mrs. An, is hopeless for promotion. I heard that a man surnamed Hou filled the vacancy."

Wu's pace slowed down a step, and her thoughts changed slightly, no wonder the old lady just said that!It turned out that the matter of An Zhijin's promotion to the official position had become obsolete, and Aunt An's status had also dropped by a notch.

The old lady was indeed an old lady, and Wu smiled bitterly in her heart. From her current position, she didn't know whether she should ridicule or say words of comfort.

Isn't her natal family not what it used to be?

In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, these daughter-in-laws are just stepping stones on the way forward for the Lu family. There is no such thing as who is important or who is not.You matter as long as you have value.

She felt inexplicably sour, and said lightly: "Go to the kitchen to prepare some snacks first, let's go to the study to see the master, these days he is tired enough to draw peach charms and write couplets, in the evening you order the small kitchen to cook some tonics and bring them over. "

Mother Zhao replied yes, and accompanied Mrs. Wu to the kitchen.

At the moment, Master Lu's study is very lively, a bunch of people are gathering to watch Lu Shuyi and Lu Wenhui play chess.

Several children from the second room were there, and including Lu Wenhui, there was exactly one table around.

The earth dragon in the house was burning very warmly, and the plum blossoms in the beauty flower pot on the desk were in full bloom, filling the room with a delicate fragrance accompanied by warm breath.

Once settled, Lu Wenhui scratched his hair, frowned and said, "Why is this the way to lose again? Third sister, I have lost three rounds to you..." He said unwillingly: "One more round, this time I I will definitely win you."

Master Lu Er bent over and laughed, with a smug expression on his face: "Wen Hui, you should admit defeat, don't forget that I taught Yi'er."

Lu Wenhui smiled and put down the chess pieces, and complimented: "That's true, Second Uncle's chess skills are obvious to all."

Master Lu Er's expression became more and more complacent, and he smiled brightly.

Lu Shuyi snickered in her heart, she clearly learned chess skills from Mr. Bai...

"...Father, I also learned from you. Why can't I be inferior to the second brother?" Lu Shujing pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, you must be biased and secretly prescribe a little trouble for my sister."

Lu Wenjie raised his eyebrows disapprovingly: "It's not because my father secretly opened the door, it's obviously because you are stupid and can't learn it."

"Lu Wenjie, you..." Lu Shujing pursed her pink mouth angrily, and said angrily, "Then you can't beat my sister in the same way."

"I'm willing to lose to the third sister..."

The second master Lu helped his forehead. This pair of twins love to bicker whenever they meet.Obviously they landed together, but they had to fight over each other...

Lu Wenru, who was hiding on the side, was cowardly, and because he was young and the son of a concubine, he shrank his neck and refused to speak.

Lu Shufang didn't take it seriously, anyway, it was her father who asked them to come and play, so what are they afraid of...

She boldly leaned half forward, fixed her eyes on the chessboard, raised her forehead and said, "Father, I have read a few chess books these days, how about...let me play a game with my third sister?"

Master Lu Er took a look at Lu Shufang. He is a father, so naturally he would not give his children any sort of waiting.As long as he is willing to make progress, he will treat them the same.

Lu Shujing curled her lips: "Isn't Seventh Sister's favorite thing about embroidery? Why do you like playing chess again?"

Lu Shufang gave Lu Shujing a sideways look, and didn't speak to her, she just smiled at Lu Shuyi and said, "I wonder if the third sister will show you some face?"

Lu Shuyi leaned forward noncommittal, not wanting to compete with Lu Shufang in this round.It wasn't that she was afraid of losing herself, but that she didn't bother to compete with him. She didn't want to play this kind of trick for favor.

The second master Lu was happy to see their sisters fighting for a game, and suggested enthusiastically: "I just want to see if Qi Yatou has improved in chess skills. San girl, you and your seventh sister have a game!"

Her father had already spoken, and Lu Shuyi's refusal would make her a petty elder sister, and she could not tolerate others.

Acting, who can't do it.

She smiled decently, and said lightly to Lu Shujing: "Sister Seven, please sit down. I have agreed that no matter who wins or loses, you are not allowed to cry or hold grudges."

These few words were obviously a joke, but they were actually laughing at Lu Shufang's ridiculous act of holding grudges because she lost her embroidery skills at the last birthday banquet.

Others don't understand, but Lu Shufang still doesn't understand?
She blushed immediately, feeling ashamed and angry. She wanted to have an attack but didn't dare to, so she could only swallow her anger and say, "Third Sister, don't worry..."

"...That's good, don't ruin the sisterhood because of a game of chess." Lu Shuyi smiled softly and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Shuqi had no choice but to sit down, she made up her mind to win the game.As long as she can win against Lu Shuyi, she will have more face in front of her father.

At the beginning of the chess game, Lu Shufang held the white pieces, and Lu Shuyi held the black pieces. Both of them wanted to win the game.

At the beginning of the game, Lu Shuqi pressed forward every step of the way with a fierce and sure-to-kill attitude.Lu Shuyi didn't take it seriously, her expression didn't move a bit, she lightly avoided the sharp edge, she seemed to be retreating, but in fact she combined offense and defense, step by step.

Looking at the chess game, Master Lu Er first frowned, then shook his head, and finally sighed softly.

Every move of Lu Shufang almost wants to put people to death. For such a young child, her mind is so cold. The person who is playing chess with her in front of her is her biological sister...

Look at Lu Shuyi again, step by step retreat, obviously suspected of giving in.

The Second Master Lu squeezed his knuckles, and looked at Lu Shufang with displeasure.

The expression on Master Lu's face fell into Lu Shuyi's eyes, she smiled lightly in her heart, it seemed that Lu Shufang had a hard time this year.

In fact, she could have made Lu Shufang lose the chess game with three moves, but she didn't do that. What she wanted was this kind of soft torture, so that Master Lu could see the face of his concubine daughter more clearly.

If the daughter is like this, how can the aunt be better?

Lu Wenhui looked a little impatient, and originally kept quiet in the spirit of watching the chess, but he still couldn't help it, frowned and said: "Seventh sister, how do you play this chess? You didn't see that the third sister was giving way. you?"

Lu Shufang froze for a moment, blushing as if she could bleed.

This is what she learned from books...

The second master Lu couldn't stand it any longer, and shook his head with his hands behind his back, and said, "Seventh girl, you have lost a long time ago, so hurry up and throw away the chess piece to thank your third sister."

Thank you Lu Shuyi?
Lu Shufang seemed to have misheard, and looked at Second Master Lu in a daze.
