When Lu Xiangzhi went to look for Lu Lingzhi, Mrs. Lu had already asked Ye Zhen to meet the other brothers.
The few sisters of the Lu family have not come here yet, and now all the young masters standing in the hall are the sons of the Lu family. I don't know why, these young masters who have reached the age of marriage have not yet married.
The Lu family is already an upstart in the capital, and there are many people who want to please their family. These four sons may have become hot candidates for husband-in-law. Now Lu Lingzhi, who is only the Minister of the Ministry of War, will be in two years' time. As Minister of the Ministry of War, he is Mo Rongzhan's right-hand man.
"This is your second brother, third brother." Lu Shiming introduced her to the two young men in the hall, the second brother Lu Tingzhi, and the third brother Lu Zanzhi, both of whom were handsome and bright.
Ye Zhen called people obediently, remembering their appearance in her heart.
Just as they were talking, Yingyingyanyan's laughter came from outside, and two girls of about the same age walked in, immediately injecting a beautiful scenery into the hall.
Both of them are delicate and cute, which makes people's eyes shine.
These should be the girls from the Lu family.
The second girl Lu is a concubine from the first house, and the fourth girl is a concubine from the second house. Only Lu Shuang'er and Xiao Wu, a five-year-old girl, are daughters of the concubine.
In the eyes of the Lu family, Ye Zhen is also a descendant.
"Yaoyao, do you remember me? I went to see you a few days ago." The second girl Lu is older than Ye Zhen, not as beautiful as Lu Shuang'er, but she is as delicate as Xiaojiabiyu.
Ye Zhen doesn't remember her anymore. She was trapped in the memories of her previous life and her younger sister in those days, and she was in a daze. No one who went to see her would know, and how could she remember her face, "Second sister, I just don't remember Yes, I have to remember now."
The fourth girl Lu is about the same age as Ye Zhen, but two months younger than Ye Zhen, so she is behind her. She stands beside Mrs. Lu, just looking at Ye Zhen indifferently, and has no intention of going up to her chat.
Ye Zhen has already remembered the two girls from the Lu family in her heart at a glance. The second girl looks gentle and gentle, smiling at everyone. The fourth girl looks a little out of this world, and seems to look down on her. Neither looked at her.
There is also a fifth younger sister who did not come. I heard that she went to the south of the Yangtze River with Uncle Lu, and she doesn't know when she will come back.
Lu Xiangzhi, who was looking for Lu Lingzhi, also came back, "...someone came from the palace suddenly and called the elder brother. The elder brother was about to ask someone to come over and say that he might not be coming back tonight."
Different from Madam Lu's disappointment, Ye Zhen really breathed a sigh of relief, it's good, she doesn't have to see Lu Lingzhi so soon.
She wasn't afraid of him, it was just... She still needed time to think about how to face Lu Lingzhi who had become her cousin.
Next was the family banquet, Mrs. Lu called Ye Zhen to sit beside her, and next to her was Lu Lingzhi.
The Lu family's family education is not strict, and there is no rule of not talking. Ye Zhen is not used to it. The education she has received is based on the standards of a family girl, and she never chatters at the dinner table.
But Mrs. Lu either asked her how life in the border town was, or she didn't want to open it, so she had to explain it. In the end, she simply forgot all the rules she had learned before, and talked happily with Mrs. Lu, telling the old man People coaxed him to like her more and more.
"Border town is fun, big brother... Fourth brother will take me to play mahjong before. We roast sparrows in the mountains and eat it. I can eat it several times at a time. Fourth brother even stole my father's wine, but he only let me eat it." Drink a small cup, and in the summer we go to the river to catch fish, the fourth brother is good or bad, he hides in the water and can’t come out, and I can’t swim, thinking something happened to him, I cried to find someone to save him, He jumped out of the water and scared me into the river..."
After hearing Ye Zhen's words, Mrs. Lu smiled and thumped Lu Xiangzhi who was sitting on the other side of her, "Bad boy, it's really bad!"
"Grandmother, this is all in the past. You don't know, this girl is full of bad things." Lu Xiangzhi hurriedly begged for mercy, and for a while, the dinner table was full of laughter.
Seeing Mrs. Lu turning her attention to Lu Xiangzhi, Ye Zhen smiled faintly and lay down drinking with her head bowed.
After the family banquet, Ye Zhen was already a little tired. She had just recuperated and had spent most of the day trying to please Mrs. Lu, and now she couldn't hold on anymore.
Pei felt sorry for her daughter, and pulled her to sit beside her. Seeing that her face was not too bad, she whispered, "I'll be back in a while."
Ye Zhen looked at Pei's loving eyes and felt awkward. She had no feelings for everyone in the Lu family, but her younger sister was raised by the Lu family. The people she should hate are not the Lu family, only Lu Lingzhi and Lu Shuang'er.
Mrs. Lu noticed the tiredness on Ye Zhen's face, so she asked her to go back to rest first, "After all, she just recovered from her illness, and she will take care of herself in the next few days."
Ye Zhen couldn't hold on any longer, so she resigned and went back to her small courtyard.
Several young masters and buddies also exited the hall and drank wine in the warm pavilion on the east side.
Lu Tingzhi touched Lu Xiangzhi with the wine glass, "Little Si, how have you been in the border town all these years?"
"Okay, I was really not used to the life in the border town at first, but I gradually fell in love with it." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, "Second brother will definitely go to the border town in the future, and I will take you around."
"It's your temper that made the third sister go bad." Lu Tingzhi smiled.
"Haha, big brother, you are wrong. Yaoyao has been a girl who can't be idle since she was a child. There is no need for me to teach her badly. She is already sluggish. On the first day of girls' school, she gave the girl to her." I beat you." Lu Xiangzhi said with a big laugh.
Lu Tingzhi laughed when he heard the words, "When the third sister was born, you didn't go to the border town, did you?"
The third uncle's family went to the border town fourteen years ago. He remembered that he had never heard that the third aunt was pregnant at that time. How could they have a daughter not long after arriving in the border town
Lu Xiangzhi went to the border town with his parents when he was three years old. Lu Shiming was in the medicine business, and Pei was a doctor. He had actually forgotten why there was an extra sister in his family. It's just a few months.
"How can I remember such a long time ago, but when my sister was born, she was not in good health, and my mother took care of her for a long time. My father said that the road was bumpy at that time, and the root of the disease was accidentally left in the mother's womb... Fortunately, I took care of it later. It's gone." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile, he didn't want others to know that Yaoyao was adopted.
Yaoyao herself has been sad for so long after knowing about this incident, she was timid when she saw him, she was not as generous and lively as usual, he knew that she seemed careless, but in fact her mind was sensitive and delicate, she was afraid that she would think too much and feel inferior, Now in the big house of the Lu family, he doesn't want others to underestimate her.
Lu Tingzhi nodded, and there was no doubt in his heart.
