Chapter 189 Daughter
It was late, and the dry heat that lasted for a day finally subsided for a moment.
Lu Mengji began to prepare dinner with her. Although she was in Huo's house, she had been eating in the small kitchen in her yard. She was not picky, but in the big kitchen, and there was no example of two people.
When Lin Daimo was in the house, almost all three meals were solved in the courtyard, and Lu Mengji was also happy and convenient, but now there is no support. In addition, Qin Luofu frequently comes to make trouble, Lu Mengji does not want to look at people's faces.
While busy in the kitchen, Mingyan suddenly came to inform that Chef Zhang from the big kitchen came to deliver food in person.
At the beginning, Lu Mengzhen went to the big kitchen to get the meal, which was the right and left and right of the cook. She squeezed Lu Mengzhen so much that she had never received the meal again. However, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, she was still upset all because of General Huo's words.
"Miss San, this is your dinner. I don't know what you like to eat, so I just picked some of the freshest ones in our kitchen and sent them over. I don't know if it suits your taste. What do you want to eat in the future? Just send someone to tell me, Miss San..." Chef Zhang looked at Lu Mengjian's face uneasily and gradually panicked when she still looked like she was still smiling.
"Miss San, I was confused about the past. You have a lot of food. In the future, I will definitely choose the best ingredients for your dishes. You..."
"Madam," Lu Mengji glanced at several exquisite dishes on the table and interrupted Chef Zhang's words, "Thank you for your food. I'm very satisfied, but there are only two of us eating here. These are too many, and the small kitchen here is actually quite convenient."
Lu Mengjie's words made Chef Zhang sweat coldly, "Miss San, please give me a chance. Besides, it's outrageous for you to cook in person!"
"If you are not a mother, please introduce me to a trustworthy person. You just need to come and help me prepare the ingredients every day." Lu Mengjian saw that Chef Zhang insisted, so she also went down the stage, but secretly remembered this person in her heart. Although she was powerful, she was a little bold to bend and stretch.
"Miss San, what do you think of this girl? Her name is Chuntao. She is simple and kind, and she does things quickly." After listening to this, Chef Zhang hurriedly pushed the girl behind her who had been bowing her head and saying nothing to Lu Mengji.
Lu Mengji motionless and looked at Chuntao. The girl gave birth a simple and thick look. The corners of her eyes were down, and her lips looked swollen at first glance. Her hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, which was very awkward.
"Thank you, aunt. I happen to be short of someone here. When the general manager releases someone here another day, I will mention it to the general manager." Lu Mengji responded with a smile. Chef Zhang finally seemed to be relieved and thanked Lu Mengji respectfully, and then took everyone back to the big kitchen.
Lu Mengji looked at the big table of dishes. Unexpectedly, the third lady's name brought so many benefits to herself, but this was only the beginning, and she didn't know how many things were waiting for her in the future. Lu Mengji rubbed her temples and felt a headache when she thought of the troubles she might face in the future.
At the benean of Huo Shuangcheng, Lu Mengji met Huo Shuangjiang, her godfather in her name for the first time.
Huo Shuangjiang is Huo Shuangcheng's maternal brother. Although the two are not much different, their personalities are very different. Huo Shuangjiang has been good at writing, romantic and literary since he was a child, so he spent most of his life in the upper study and was appointed as the prince. As the prince gradually grew up, he gradually became idle.
Although Huo Shuangjiang's life can be called a romantic generation, he doesn't even have a concubine in his life. He has two daughters and one son under his knees, and he also enjoys all the blessings.
"Are you Lu Mengji?" Huo Shuangjiang slowly tasted a cup of tea in front of him and looked at Lu Mengji standing under the hall. At a glance, he seemed to see through Lu Mengji and pointed to the chair opposite with his hand. "Sit down."
Lu Mengzhi walked over and sat down, with his waist straight. Modern people give too many meanings to the godfather's saying, which makes Lu Mengjian a little scared.
"You were also there on the day of Kang'er's wedding," Huo Shuangjiang seemed to ask, and Lu Mengji nodded.
"Are you really in love with Kang'er as he said?"
This question was so tricky that Lu Mengji didn't know how to answer it, so she nodded and looked at him quietly.
"Since we love each other so much, how can Kang'er be separated from you?"
Lu Mengji stared at Huo Shuangjiang with wide eyes. The first time he met, he did not say a word of politeness. Instead, he threw three questions and asked so meanly.
"Ha ha, does this ask make you sad?" Huo Shuangjiang smiled and picked up the casserole on the coffee table in front of him and slowly ordered tea.
Lu Mengji simply didn't say anything, but quietly watched him order tea. The thick black tea rolled with the water, just like Lu Mengji's mood at this moment.
"Try it." Huo Shuangjiang put a cup of tea in front of Lu Mengji, as warm as a gentleman.
Lu Mengzhi took a soft sip, which was very bitter. She grinned.
"Child, does the taste of this tea look like your current mood?" Huo Shuangjiang looked into Lu Mengji's eyes gently. Lu Mengji seemed to see his father sitting opposite and teaching him.
"Well," Lu Mengjian nodded. Since she learned the news of Lin Daimo's marriage, her heart has not been sad for a day. Now that she has become Lin Daimo's next cousin, the sadness in her heart has become a pain. Although she deliberately ignores it, no matter how it is concealed, the pain can never be dissipated.
"Child, I have a deep understanding of your current situation, so when the eldest brother came to ask me for help, I did not hesitate to agree, not only for you and Kang'er, but also for the guilt in my heart." Huo Shuangjiang sighed after saying that, but when he saw Lu Mengzhu's still doubtful eyes, he couldn't help smiling.
"Are you wondering why I asked those three questions as soon as we met?"
Lu Mengji nodded again. Since she came here, all she could do was nod.
"When I first saw you at Kang'er's wedding, in fact, your purpose was not clear about yourself. Although you looked at Kang'er, you had no intention to take Kang'er back. Even if you stayed later, you still had a grudge about Kang's marriage, so you finally left. ."
Lu Mengji looked at Huo Shuangjiang in surprise. He seemed to know everything, even her confusion.
"This time you came back because of Kanger, although you may not admit it. Before the eldest brother invited you back, he once asked me what to do if you refused to stay. Ha ha, in fact, this is not a difficult problem. If you can't stay, it's just that fate is not enough. If it's fate, no matter how many ups and downs you go through, the two will still be together. Although there is one more person between you and Kanger, more tolerance is needed in the relationship. Of course, I can't interfere with your thoughts, but in the family, the most important thing is that you are in the other person's heart.
Huo Shuangjiang's words are like enlightenment. She has been blaming herself for why she stayed, saying that it is absolutely impossible to have no selfishness, but she can't forgive him for divorce his wife for herself. In this contradictory and entangled psychology, she even doubts what she wants.
She wanted Lin Daimo to come back to her side. This idea became clearer and clearer after Huo Shuangjiang's words.
"Child, take another sip of the tea in your hand and try to see if it is as bitter as before." Huo Shuangjiang looked at the changes on Lu Mengji's face with satisfaction and finally smiled.
The fragrance of tea slowly filled the whole room. Lu Mengji took a sip, and the bitter tea turned out to be sweet.
"It smells so good!" Lu Mengji sincerely praised it.
"Ha ha, this tea is like a person's life. Although there will always be suffering, as long as you are willing to solve it carefully and wait with your heart, one day you will harvest this clear and satisfactory life." After Huo Shuangjiang finished speaking, there was a clear difference between Lu Mengjian's eyes and when he entered the door.
"How about it? Do you feel very bad for me as a godfather?"
"How come? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't understand my intentions until now. Maybe when he comes back, we will really miss it." Only then did Lu Mengji realize that everything before was paved for this, but it's good to have such a godfather. At least he taught people how to touch the most real thoughts in their hearts.
"I'm relieved that you can think so!" Huo Shuangjiang clapped his hands, and maids with fresh fruits and vegetables came in one after another. After a while, the whole room was placed extremely festive.
Huo Shuangjiang's wife Murong Yanyan came out of the inner room with a happy face and looked particularly kind with a smile.
"Congratulations, madam, we have another daughter." Huo Shuangjiang smiled and helped Rong Yanyan sit down on the chair.
"Come here and let me take a closer look," Murong Yanyan greeted Lu Mengzhen and walked to her side and looked at it with satisfaction from head to toe.
"Well, that's good." Murong Yanyan took out a jade bracelet from the tray of the maid behind her and put it on Lu Mengjian's wrist.
"Madam, this is too valuable," Lu Mengji refused repeatedly.
"Look at your child, you are now, and you still haven't changed your words," Murong Yanyan smiled and was very beautiful. From her body, you can still see the magnificent charm of her youth.
"Mengjian, from today, we will be a family. This is your godmother. This bracelet is your gift for your godmother." Huo Shuangjiang walked to Murong Yanyan and smiled at each other, as if the sweetness between their eyes was still in love.
Lu Mengji's cheeks were hot. She had fantasized about this scene countless times, but when she really appeared in front of her, there was still a strong visual stimulation.
"Meng Jian has seen the godmother," Lu Meng Jian bent his knees slightly and looked respectful and calm.
"I like this child at first sight," Murong Yanyan took Lu Mengji's hand, and Huo Shuangjiang's eyes still stopped on his wife. Hearing this, he answered, "Well, at first glance, this child looks like you when you were young, but he looks obedient, but he has stubbornness in his bones."
