Chapter 124 Family Reunion Next
Although you don't look at the facade of the yard outside, you can only find a different world when you enter the yard. No need to look more, Lv Xianger knows that this house can be regarded as a medium level for Jingshi. It is not an aristocratic house, but it is bigger and more regular than an ordinary house. Lv Xianger, who didn't want to be separated from Lv Erniang, took Lv Erniang to look around. Lv Erniang hasn't seen Lv Xianger for a long time, and naturally she is willing to spend more time with her daughter.
By the way, although this house is not big and the layout is a little compact, it is very quiet. The whole house faces south, and there is a pavilion through the door. Through the pavilion is the spacious and bright main house. There are also two small courtyards on both sides of the main house. Next to the two courtyard walls, two are east and west wing rooms.
What surprised Lv Xianger most was that there was a backyard behind the main house, which seemed to be a place for laundry and cooking. Moreover, there is also a stable, in which the carriage Lv Xianger was riding when she came was parked. Although this house is a little big for Lv Erniang, as well as Zao and Xiaowu, it is as clean as ever.
"Mother, did you rent or buy this house?" After looking around, Lv Xianger really likes this house and wants to buy it.
When Lv Er Niang saw Lv Xianger's look, she smiled and said, "Of course I bought it. At the beginning, I didn't think it was cost-effective to calculate the rent, so I bought it.
"A Niang is becoming more and more business-minded." Lv Xianger laughed and pulled Chaoxia straight to the west across the courtyard, and decided to settle down with her in the small yard. Lv Erniang gave Lv Xianger a white look and went to the backyard to prepare dinner. After seeing Lv Er Niang, Lv Hong seemed to be in a wrong mood and took his clothes to the East Cross Hospital.
Originally, I wanted to clean up the room I wanted to live in, but I didn't expect that Lv Erniang had already arranged it properly. Just wait for the three people to put away their clothes, and then they can move in. Feeling that it was so appropriate to be taken care of by Lv Erniang again, a faint warmth gushed out of Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Chaoxia's heart.
When the three were thinking of going out to help Lv Erniang cook, Zaoer and Xiaowu had already carried the boiled hot water and sent it to the two courtyards. Not to mention, when they saw the hot water, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia still felt uncomfortable. Lv Hong is even more so. For the sake of his wound, he hasn't taken a shower for a long time.
When Xiao Wu poured hot water into the barrel, Lv Hong took off his clothes and jumped into the barrel. Xiaowu, who was ready to rub his back for Lv Hong, was stunned when he saw the wound on his body. Finding Xiaowu's eyes, Lv Hong remembered something and said, "Xiaowu, don't tell my mother that I have an injury, okay?"
"Young master, the wife has asked Xiaowu to be the young master's follower. The young master will definitely obey what the young master said." Xiao Wu nodded seriously and rubbed his back for Lv Hong.
"Young master?" Lv Hong smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that he would become a young master when he arrived in Beijing, and he also had a servant as a follower. However, thinking that Xiaowu had been Song Yuan's follower before, Lv Hong asked again curiously.
"After the prince's injury recovered, the wife did not want to live in the prince's mansion. Therefore, the Duke found such a house and gave Xiaowu to his wife. He said that the wife was a woman, and a little man had to run errands back and forth. After waiting for Lu Xianger and Chaoxia to wash, Zao'er has taken out clean clothes for the two to change.
Hearing that Xiaowu had become a subordinate of the Lv family, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia couldn't help looking at each other and once again felt that Song Yuan was still so careful. Thinking of the city gate, Song Yuan looked at Lv Erniang with unconcealed eyes, as well as Lv Erniang's look. I'm afraid it won't be long before Lv Erniang will be separated from Lv Xianger and others.
After changing their clothes, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia followed Zaoer to the living room of the main room. Along the way, Zao'er's little mouth was not idle and said a lot about Beijing. At this time, Lv Xianger found that the dates that followed Lv Erniang to the capital had changed a lot. Her appearance may be that she has some daughter's posture as she grows older. What has changed the most is the character of Zao'er.
When I was in Qingshi County, Zaoer was a maid who only knew how to work, not very good at talking, and a little stubborn. Looking at today's dates, it seems to come from a big family. He speaks in a clear way, and his manners are also flexible. It seems that heaven is worthy of being a capital teacher. Even ordinary maids who have stayed for a long time can cultivate a sense of atmosphere.
Before Lv Xianger and Chaoxia entered the main room, she smelled a strong fragrance. The smell of the familiar delicacy made Lv Xianger immediately happy and ran in. When Chaoxia saw Lv Xianger's appearance, she smiled and breathed a long breath in her heart.
Although Lv Xianger never said it, Chaoxia could see that Lv Xianger's time in Jiangling Mansion was very energetic. Maybe even Lv Xianger herself didn't find that she was much thinner than Qingshi County. Now she finally came to Lv Erniang's side. With Lv Erniang's love, Chaoxia believes that Lv Xianger will slowly forget that she was frightened in Jiangling Mansion.
Following Lv Xianger into the living room, Chaoxia saw that Lv Hong had already sat at the table, and the table was full of all kinds of delicious food. When Lv Xianger saw the dishes on the table, she cheered and sat next to Lv Hong. Of course, she didn't forget to wave to Chaoxia.
"Sister Chaoxia, come and sit down. Look at these dishes, my saliva is about to flow down. Explosive mutton, sweet and sour fish, stewed rabbit meat..." Lv Xianger counted the dishes on the table carefully. Every time she looked at a plate, her eyes were full of joy.
Chaoxia and Lv Hong were also infected by Lv Xianger's happy tone and looked at her slanderous appearance with a smile. However, the three of them did not move their chopsticks, but were waiting for Lv Erniang. This is the first reunion of the Lu family after the first separation. Naturally, it is meaningful for the family to move chopsticks together.
Soon, Lv Erniang came out with a hot porcelain bowl. When Lv Hong saw it, he got up quickly and put the porcelain bowl on the table. He smiled at Lv Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, look, your favorite 'Lotus soup'."
"It smells so good." Lv Xianger took a deep breath and smiled at Lv Erniang and said, "A Niang, it's so kind of you to make so many of our favorite dishes."
"What's our favorite food? Most of the food here is your favorite food, and Auntie is really biased. Lv Hong said something very tasty, and then brought up a small wine jar at his feet.
At the same time, Zaoer and Xiaowu have exited the living room and closed the door. The two went out of the room and smiled at each other, and then walked to the backyard together. However, no matter how they look at their smiles, they have slightly different meanings.
In the room, Lv Xianger did not quibble about Lv Hong's taste. She first smiled at Lv Hong, and then grabbed the wine jar and poured a glass of wine for Lv Erniang first. Then it was Chaoxia and Lv Hong, and finally poured a full cup for himself. Lv Erniang stared at Lv Hong when Lv Xianger poured wine. Obviously, she was a little dissatisfied with him 'bullying' Lv Xianger. Lv Hong knew that his mother was better to Lv Xianger than him, and he was used to it, so he smiled flatteringly at Lv Erniang. Sitting in Chaoxia before Lv Erniang and Lv Hong, when she saw the interaction between mother and son, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth again.
When Lv Xianger put down the wine jar and picked up the wine glass, she whispered, "A Niang, Sister Chaoxia, brother, come on, for our family reunion, let's have a drink first."
"Yes, it's time to have a drink for our family reunion." The last time Lv Hong drank, he was still in Jiangling Zhechong Mansion. Since that time, he has been under the care of Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, and he has never touched the wine. Now I can't help smelling the fragrance of this wine. However, maybe he drank in a hurry, and Lv Hong actually choked a little.
Seeing Lv Hong's hurry, Lv Erniang shook her head, quickly picked up a chopstick dish for Lv Hong, and said andly, "You child, it seems that you haven't been drinking for a long time. I don't believe it at all. Without my mother's presence, Xiang'er will control your non-drinking.
"Mother, I don't drink it very often. After all, I have to take the township examination." Lv Hong's expression was slightly stunned, but he immediately said something else. He can't tell Lv Erniang that he hasn't drunk for a long time because of his injury.
When Lv Er Niang communicated with Lv Hong, Lv Hong only said some trivial things and never said the big thing in Jiangling Mansion. Therefore, Lv Erniang naturally doesn't know anything. But after listening to Lv Hong's words, Lv Erniang seemed to understand something and whispered, "Isn't the exam too difficult? Why have you, Xiang'er and Chaoxia lost so much weight?"
"Ah, it's not difficult. It's okay." Lv Hong was a little nervous when asked by Lv Er Niang and didn't know what to say. Lv Xianger quickly took over and said with a smile, "Mother, we are thin because A Niang is not around and we can't eat the food cooked by A Niang."
"Yes, adoptive mother, Xiang'er came out of Jiangling Mansion and kept thinking about these dishes. Let's eat quickly, or it will be cold in a short time. Chaoxia never told a lie, so she lowered her head and ate the dishes in the bowl.
Lv Erniang saw that the three of them lowered their heads and ate vegetables as if they were very hungry, but she frowned slightly and whispered to herself, "Why are these three children strange? We have to find an opportunity to ask Chaoxia. Chaoxia never lies."
Chaoxia was eating vegetables with her head down. Hearing Lv Erniang's self-talk, her whole body suddenly stiffened. Chaoxia is not good at words. If Lv Erniang really asks, Chaoxia will definitely have to say it all for a long time. She didn't want her to tell what happened in Jiangling Mansion. Chaoxia was afraid that she couldn't stand Lv Erniang's tears.
Thinking of this, Chaoxia did something unrighteous for the first time. She took a look at Lv Xianger and said to Lv Erniang, "Mother, Xianger just said that she hasn't seen you for a long time. She wants to sleep with you tonight and have a good talk..."
