Chapter 390 Blessing the Courtesy
The mourning hall is ventilated everywhere, and it can't be baked with a brazier. It's really cold to the extreme. A cold wind blew, which made Lu Yan shiver. He pushed Lu Lun, who was sitting aside with his upper eyelids fighting with his lower eyelids: "Fifth brother, go to bed."
Lu Lun had been watching for two nights before. Although he could rest during the day, he turned upside down day and night, and he was very tired. Pushed by Lu Yan, the cold wind blew, he woke up, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and stretched out: "It doesn't matter. I'll sit down again." But he covered his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. I'm going to find something to eat. What does the second brother want to eat?"
Lu Yan said, "In the middle of the night, the servants are also tired for a day. They can come whatever is convenient."
"Yes." Lu Lun waved a servant over, and then ordered the servant to go to the kitchen. He saw Lin Jinrong's master and servant playing lanterns and carrying a food box. He couldn't help beating his eyebrows and greeted him happily: "Second sister-in-law, what delicious food did you do?" As he spoke, he put his hand on the food box in the cherry's hand.
Lin Jinrong slapped him rudely and said, "I didn't prepare yours."
Lu Lun held the food box firmly and didn't let go. He smiled with a hippie face and said sadly, "Second sister-in-law, give me the leftovers of my second brother..."
If I had known that I was worried at this time, why did I have to go to the road to death? And there is no repentance at all. When Lin Jinrong saw Lu Lun's sad look, he became more and more angry. Before he opened his mouth with a straight face, Lu Yan had already come over and said, "What's leftovers, no matter how much it is, we two brothers can eat together."
Lu Lun proudly squeezed his eyes at Lin Jinrong: "It's better to be my second brother." He went to the lid and exclaimed, "It's hot noodle soup. It looks delicious. I'm starving to death!"
Lu Yan smiled, gave Lin Jinrong a soothing look, and motioned to the cherry: "Put out the bowls and chopsticks."
The cherry cloth made a bowl and chopsticks, and then scooped a bowl for Lu Yan. Lu Lu had already taken a spoon and quickly scooped a large bowl for himself. He ate it like a wind and a cloud. Lu Yan just ate two bites. Everyone was stunned. Lu Yan said repeatedly, "Slow down. No one robbed you."
Lin Jinrong sat aside and said coldly, "He is just afraid that someone will rob him."
Lu Lun was a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at Lin Jinrong and said, "In the army... I'm used to robbing."
Lin Jinrong said naively: "Do the general's own soldiers also need to grab food?"
Lu Lun's heart skipped a beat. He smiled nervously and said, "Our general eats and lives with us, and never does anything special."
Lu Yan didn't know it and said with a smile, "This general bear is really rare."
Lu Lun looked at Lin Jinrong with warning, and Lin Jinrong stared back at him disdainfully. Facing Lu Yan, they were all laughing: "It's really rare."
Lu Yan had already seen the dark tide surging between the two of them, but he didn't break it. He ate the food in the bowl as if nothing had happened and told Lu Lun, "You go back and rest first. I have something to say to your second sister-in-law."
Lu Lun scratched his ears and cheeks, wondering if the two of them would talk about their own affairs, but he saw Lu Yan's irresistible face. In desperation, I had no choice but to leave. Instead of going straight back to his yard, he walked towards the deserted place in the north.
Cherry cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and withdrew with Shuangfu: "Grandma, I'm waiting outside."
Lin Jinrong nodded and handed a thick cotton robe to Lu Yan: "Put it on. Such a cold day. I don't know how to wear more.
Lu Yan obediently added a cotton robe and tied a hemp rope: "What's the matter with you and your fifth brother? Why did he offend you?
Now is not the time to talk about this. Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "It's nothing. I deliberately hung him up. Just now, my father-in-law asked me to ask about the family..."
Obviously, he was perfunctory to him. Lu Yan frowned and didn't ask any more questions. He just brushed the broken hair on the side of her and said softly, "If you are tired for a day, go back early and rest." I'll come to see you and Yilang tomorrow morning."
"Don't catch a cold." Lin Jinrong went out of the mourning hall and told Cherry, "Go and see if the fifth master has returned to the yard and tell him to see me tomorrow afternoon."
Cherry took the order, and Lin Jinrong returned to Rongjingju. After the wash, Cherry came in and said, "Grandma, the fifth master didn't go back. The maidservant inquired, and no one knew where he had gone."
" Let people watch, see when he comes back, and tell me tomorrow morning." Lin Jinrong was so angry that his liver ached. He tossed and turned all night. He fell asleep in the middle of the night. Before dawn, he quickly got up. Cherry came in to wait for her to groom and whispered, "Grandma, the fifth master didn't return to the yard until half an hour ago. He told the people around him that he had been accompanying the second master in the mourning hall.
Lin Jinrong's mood became worse and worse. He endured to wrap up Yilang and braved the cold to see Lu Jianxin. Lu Jianxin is different from Lin Yuzhen. His requirement for his son and daughter-in-law is to arrive in the morning and evening. He must arrive on time and must not delay half a step. If there is an emergency or illness, he has to go to the decent mother around him to plead guilty. Yilang gave him a condolance for the first time, and Lin Jinrong did not dare to neglect anything.
When I got outside, the lights around the yard were already on, and the servants quietly sent water and charcoal. Mother Fang came over and saw Lin Jinrong's mother and son standing in the porch. She hurriedly said, "My wife got up a long time ago. The master is still washing up. Grandma will wait for a while." He tightened the small cloak outside for Yilang and sighed gently.
Lin Jinrong waited for another incense, and his face was a little numb. Fang heard Lu Jianxin's voice: "Please come in, the second grandmother and the fourth young master."
Lin Jinrong walked in with Yilang in his arms and lowered his eyes, and kowtowed to Lu Jianxin for Yilang: "Yilang has seen his grandfather."
Yilang had been woken up for a long time, and the child was also well-behaved. He only looked around curiously with a pair of big dark eyes, and did not cry. Lu Jianxin saw that his jade snow was cute and beautiful. Although he didn't like his own grandson, he was not disgusted. He posed in a loving posture and reached out to pick him up: "Grandpa, hug."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly handed over Yilang and said, "I just woke up. I may not be good enough."
Lu Jianxin looked left and right in his arms and said, "That's good. I heard that his grandfather gave him a name, Chen, didn't he?
"Yes." Lin Yuzhen quickly took it up, "The old man said, Chen, my treasure."
Lu Jianxin touched Yilang's face and raised his chin. Lin Jinrong hurried forward to pick up Yilang back. He only heard Lu Jianxin say lightly, "Very good, good upbring. He is still young, so he doesn't have to get up so early in the future.
Lin Jinrong hurriedly bowed to his knees and saluted: "Thank you for your sympathy."
Lu Jianxin smiled and said, "Where is my grandson? The rules should be kept, but he should also be distressed and considerate."
Lin Jinrong answered again, "Please don't worry, my daughter-in-law must take good care of him."
Lu Jianxin got up and said, "Let's have breakfast."
Lin Jinrong handed over Yilang to the Pan family, quickly stepped forward, held the rice with chopsticks, and served carefully. Lu Jianxin adhered to the rule of not saying a word, quietly finished breakfast, and said, "Erlang's daughter-in-law, you arrange for someone to go to the old house, invite the four ethnic groups to come over, and said, I have something to ask for advice."
Lin Yuzhen is slightly proud. The second wife has to hire a clan veteran to do things. Unless it is a special case, she has to be cautious. How can she be like Lu Jianxin? If you have something to ask for advice, you also need them to take the initiative to come to your door. This is the difference between official body and white body! Although it is in Dingyou, it is incomparable!
Lin Jinrong said, "Yes. My daughter-in-law will arrange it right away.
Lu Jianxin nodded: "Let's go and go to the old lady."
When he went out of the courtyard, he met Lu Yan. Lu Jianxin gently called him to his side and asked in a low voice. A group of people lined up and went towards Rongjingju. On the way, I met many servants. Someone came forward to greet him. Lu Jianxin answered calmly and asked the other party's situation and health with concern. He really didn't have any airs, kind and amiable.
Lu Jianzhong's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he was half-closed and applying medicine to his old cold legs. Suddenly, Song raised the curtain and came in and said, "Come on, the eldest brother's family went to Rongjingju to greet the old lady. The old lady didn't get up, and the whole family was waiting in the porch. The third brother also hurried there.
Lu Jianzhong sat up all of a sudden. He couldn't help but get angry and cursed in a low voice, "The boss is so abominable! Born to love to pretend! It's okay for him to pretend himself. The most abominable thing is to pull others to be sad together!" Who doesn't know that the old lady is seriously ill and has to sleep more in the morning. They always go to the morning. They don't go in time. Anyway, it's just for convenience. For so many years, no one has said no. Now that Lu Jianxin has taken the lead like this, it can be seen that no one will have a good life in the future.
Song hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, and then tidied up his filial piety clothes: "Let's stand it."
After Lu Jianzhong finished dressing up, Lu Shao and others also came. Yuanlang and Haolang followed behind with sleepy eyes. Kang's arms held Lilang who cried because he didn't sleep well. Everyone looked sad. Lu Jianzhong sighed. Because he didn't see the Lu family, he asked Lu Shao, "Where's your daughter-in-law?"
Lu Shao hesitated for a moment: "She is not in good health..."
"Isn't it good?! Isn't it confinement a long time ago? She is scolding me! Let her come!" Lu Jianzhong's anger had nowhere to attack, so he attacked Lu Shao first.
Song hurriedly advised, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Hurry up and go."
A group of people rushed to Rongjingju. Before the old lady got up, Lu Jianxin was talking to Lu Jianjian. Lu Jianzhong hurried over and said with a smile, "Brother, you are so early. I think my mother's body is not good, so I dare not disturb her..."
Lu Jianxin whispered with a straight face: "Second! I'm not talking about you. You can't give up the gift! If a mother is not in good health, it is filial piety to be more cautious as a child! Filial piety is not casually said. With a glance, he found that Lv Shi came from behind in a hurry and couldn't help sneering: "We elders should lead by example, otherwise we haven't done well. How can we blame the junior for not knowing the rules? Give people jokes!"
Lu Jianzhong secretly said that he was unlucky and dared not say anything. He turned his head and stared at Lv Shi fiercely.
