Lu Xiaoshu disdained this very much. Or just don't allow people to enter the door, since it's tolerated, why bother to come here to complain, it's tiresome after a long time.
In Lu Xiaoshu's opinion, she is more annoying than Hong Yan.
Brother and sister Lu Xiaoshu came to Jingxiu Hall, although Mao Shi saw them, although he smiled, the anger in his expression was faintly visible, and the atmosphere in the room felt a little uncomfortable.
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, let's go over to have dinner!" Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile, just pretending not to know.
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Lu Wenshi and Mao agreed with a smile.
"Hurry up, we'll go there first!" Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile, and left with Lu Jingan. Lu Yihui also followed them, and she also felt awkward about the atmosphere at home.
Not long after Lu Wenshi and Mao Shi came over, Lu Xiaoshu caught a glimpse of Hong Yan who was following Mao Shi with lowered eyebrows. She was stunned for a while, but said nothing, only greeted Lu Wenshi and Mao Shi with a smile.
Mao's complexion improved a lot, he smiled happily, and glared at Hong Yan proudly. It seemed that it was because Hong Yan bowed her head to her.
But Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help scolding her for being stupid in his heart: Tonight is New Year's Eve, what kind of occasion is this? Why did you bring Hongyan here! If she is caring, she will be sent back to her own room to be honest, who will bring her here? Even if she is waiting on the side, doesn't it mean that she has participated in the most important family dinner of the year
What a fool! No wonder Hongyan is so honest today.
According to her own words, Hongyan usually makes her very angry...
Lu Wenxuan and Mu Qing were slightly taken aback when they saw Hong Yan, but this was the housework of Sanfang, so they couldn't say anything, so they just ignored them and greeted Lu Wenshi and Mao Shi to take their seats with a smile.
Hongyan hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and tried to open the chair for Mu Qing, but Qiqiao stopped her with a sharp eye, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, we are here, auntie, please take care of your wife!"
"Sister Qiqiao is really polite." Hongyan smiled and retreated.
When everyone was seated, the maids poured wine, even Lu Xiaoshu and his brother poured half a glass of fruit wine into their cups. Lu Wenxuan briefly said a few words, and everyone was talking and laughing as they were about to drink up their glasses of wine, when they heard the voice of the old lady Lu at the door: "Oh, it's so lively here! New Year's Eve, let me Throwing the old woman aside and ignoring it, you guys are so happy—it’s also lucky that you can eat and drink!"
The faces of the people changed all of a sudden.
With the support of Nanny Zhao, Cui'er, and Bi'er, Mrs. Lu walked in tremblingly, with a cold expression on her face.
"Mother..." Lu Wenshi stood up with an apologetic smile, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you were unwell? Hehe, it's not that I didn't call you..."
No matter how old Mrs. Lu is, she is also the elder of this family, and she has taken the title. When worshiping the ancestors in the morning, Lu Wenxuan asked Mu Qing and Mao to invite her.
Mrs. Lu originally planned to come out to demonstrate, but after thinking about it, wouldn't she have to offer incense and kneel to the first Mrs. Lu when she came out to worship her ancestors? .
Lu Wenxuan was well aware of her thoughts, and couldn't help but sneer.
I'm afraid that my own mother may not be willing to see this person if she is alive in the sky, and she is not short of her reluctant gift. Lu Wenxuan didn't say anything, and presided over the ancestor worship by himself.
But who knows, she doesn't stop and doesn't let people live a stable life. She came here just after dinner was set up here!
"Who says I'm unwell?" Mrs. Lu sneered, "You all wish I were unwell, and wished for me to die!"
"Mother, look at you, there's no such thing as death during the Chinese New Year!" Lu Wenshi quickly laughed and poohed a few times, raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the expressionless Lu Wenxuan, and ordered the maid to add chairs, bowls and chopsticks.
The old lady Lu snorted: "Don't make up your mind! I'm afraid people may not welcome me as an old woman! You are too, you are my own. My old lady is unwell, how can you just ignore me and be happy like others! What's the matter? You don't even want to go to Mingqingyuan now, do you?"
"How can it be? I'm afraid you'll have to rest..." Lu Wenshi forced a smile to cope, and he didn't feel a little annoyed in his heart.
Today is not what it used to be, he can be said to have nothing now, do the family still have to live? He is not flattering and fawning on the big house, how are you going to live these days? She also said she was her own mother, and she refused to think about herself at all!
She ran over and made her feel so happy, but what about herself? In case of anger, there is no place to cry!
"Don't talk sweet words to me! Old ladies are not so easy to fool!" The old lady Lu was very angry, she spat on Lu Wenshi, and couldn't help yelling and cursing.
She has a hard time, and she will never let others have a good time.
Lu Wenxuan was secretly angry, and interrupted lightly: "Since the old lady is in good health, it would be the best! It just so happens that the whole family is reunited! The old lady didn't go to worship the ancestors today. It's not very good after all. You are the mansion Elder with the highest seniority! Third brother, let’s accompany the old lady to the ancestral hall and offer incense to the ancestors to worship, madam, younger siblings, the food is cold, please order the kitchen to reheat it.”
The old lady Lu choked with anger and stared at Lu Wenxuan coldly.
"Mother Zhao, Cui'er, Bi'er, hurry up and support them!" Lu Wenxuan sneered slightly, glanced at Lu Wenshi and walked ahead.
The old lady Lu wanted to come over to make trouble, so Nanny Zhao couldn't persuade her to follow her. She was beating her heart for a long time, fearing that Lu Wenxuan and his wife would settle the score. How could she dare to say no to what he said now! Immediately agreed, and dragged Mrs. Lu away as if she had made amends.
"You bastard slave! Let go! Let me go!" Old lady Lu yelled angrily.
Ask her to offer incense to Mrs. Lu? That was the deepest pain in her heart, and she would not go there even if she was killed!
But why did Madam Zhao and Cui'er bother? He couldn't help talking and urging her to drown out her voice, and took the opportunity to pull her outside.
The most regrettable thing in Mrs. Lu's life was that she was not as good as Mrs. Lu before. Seeing this, she couldn't help being angry and anxious, and couldn't catch her breath. There were a few gurgling sounds in her throat like a bellows, and her whole body went limp.
"Mother! Mother!" Lu Wenshi was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to push away Madam Zhao and waited to hug Old Madam Lu and shouted: "Mother, what's the matter with you! Somebody, why don't you hurry up and call the doctor!"
"What's your big name for New Year's Eve!" Lu Wenxuan scolded coldly, ordered the old lady Lu to be carried into the side hall, and ordered a bowl of hot ginger soup to pour down.
Old Madam Lu's complexion gradually turned, and Lu Wenshi was relieved.
"Can the old lady still go? If not, go back to Mingqingyuan to rest!" Lu Wenxuan said indifferently, his sharp eyes swept over Zhao Nanny and Cui'er.
The three of Zhao Momo's heart trembled, they couldn't help but shuddered, and secretly swore in their hearts that next time, no matter what the old lady said, she would never let her go out of Mingqing Garden again...
Otherwise, it's time for them to leave the Lu residence.
The old lady Lu raised her eyes, and looked at Lu Wenxuan bitterly.
In Lu Wenxuan's eyes, what she saw was coldness and unrelenting persistence.
She was suddenly angry, and suddenly felt desolate: people didn't regard her as a mother at all! It's a shame that she accidentally let him escape in the first place, and that's why she ended up today. Now that things have happened, all she can do is futilely make small troubles. In the eyes of others, I'm afraid it's just a joke!
But if she didn't make trouble, she couldn't swallow this breath!
"It's all you, it's all you! You good-for-nothing! You good-for-nothing!" The old lady Lu suddenly burst into tears, beating Lu Wenshi desperately, and crying for Lu Wenhui again.
If it wasn't for their brothers not being up to date, how could her old age be so miserable!
Lu Wenxuan turned his head to look at Lu Wenshi, and said flatly, "You're going to let her keep yelling like this, you know exactly how your second brother died!"
Lu Wenshi was startled, and it was useless to persuade the old lady Lu. He gritted his teeth, wrapped up a handkerchief and blocked her mouth himself, and said to Mother Zhao, "Go pass a small sedan chair, and take the old lady back. .”
"Yes..." Mother Zhao agreed, but she didn't dare to command the servants in Jingming Hall, so she had to trot away by herself.
The sedan chair was passed on, and the old lady Lu who stared at Lu Wenshi angrily and felt unwilling was taken away.
"Brother..." Lu Wenshi was a little embarrassed, he hesitated to speak.
Lu Wenxuan said lightly: "Go if you want to go there, go in if you want to stay!"
"Don't go, don't go! There are servants waiting over there!" Lu Wenshi hurriedly laughed, and said, "It's all over, and I'm hungry, big brother please!"
Lu Wenxuan smiled, still talking and laughing happily, calling everyone to sit down and continue eating.
When this happened, both Lu Wenshi and Mao had their bones stuck in their throats, and they became more and more cautious at the dinner table, not daring to show their atmosphere. Mrs. Mao couldn't help but feel more resentful towards Mrs. Lu, and never visited her again.
After dinner, everyone drank tea and sat in the side hall for a while, and distributed red envelopes to the juniors. Lu Wenxuan went out to see his former brothers, and Lu Wenshi also got up with a smile and said goodbye.
He wanted to take Hongyan away with him, but seeing Mao's attitude, he would definitely not agree. If he quarreled with her again at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it would become even more out of control. I had to go away alone.
Mu Qing, Mao Shi, Lu Xiaoshu and others went into the Nuan Pavilion to talk and watch the year.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help thinking about the New Year's when he was still in Maple Leaf Village, so he couldn't sit still, thinking about going to see Lu Zhong, Miao Cuilan, and Xiaoxue.
Seeing that Mu Qing was playing leaf cards with Mao, Madam Hua, etc., she quietly went out, let Du Juan ask someone to hitch up a car, and went out by the side door.
Lu Zhong, Miao Cuilan, and Xiao Shu also celebrated the New Year in the capital for the first year. They also worshiped their ancestors early in the morning. Afterwards, slaves did everything. Miao Cuilan was not used to it when she was free. Nowhere.
