Lu Mingshu always remembered the day of his seventh birthday.
She was born on the second day of February during the Flower Festival, when a hundred flowers bloom in full bloom.
In the morning, Hui Niang broke a peach blossom for her and put it on the desk, it was really beautiful.
Hui Niang also said: "When I wake up in the morning, the magpies are screaming outside the window. It must be a good thing for Miss's birthday."
Just finished speaking, Xiaohuan ran in from the outside panting: "Miss, something serious happened!" Before Hui Niang scolded her for being reckless, she shouted, "Your father, your father sent someone here!"
Hui Niang swallowed back the words of reprimand, and was startled: "What?"
"My father?" Lu Mingshu turned around.
She had never seen her father since she was a child. Mother told her that when she was still in the womb, father went out to study and learn from a teacher, and he never came back. Mother said, father may have something to delay.
"That's right, a guest came to the door just now, saying it was sent by your father..."
Before Xiaohuan could finish speaking, Hui Niang slapped her: "What about your father, you don't have any rules, call me Master!"
"Oh..." That's not the point, Xiaohuan pulled Lu Mingshu and said impatiently, "Miss, you didn't see the carriage parked outside, it's so beautiful! Even the person sent here is as beautiful as a fairy! I secretly I heard it outside, saying what kind of master is the master, it must be that the master has worshiped a famous teacher and become a master!"
Fu Ze, the son-in-law of the Lu family, is extremely talented in martial arts, but Qingfeng Town is located in a remote area with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is not even a good martial arts gym. Seven years ago, the Lu family used almost all their savings to help him go to Beijing to find a famous teacher, but since then there has been no news.
Lu Mingshu had a wish since she was a child, that when her father came back, they would be reunited as a family. She never expected that this wish would come true on her birthday!
Is this a birthday present from God to her
"It must be the master who is famous and came to pick you up! Miss will have a good life in the future..."
"Miss!"
Lu Mingshu stood up and ran outside quickly, ignoring Hui Niang's shouting from behind.
She ran out of the living room in a hurry, and a woman's voice came from inside.
"This is for you."
Lu Mingshu took a breath, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside curiously.
Grandfather and mother are both in the living room. On the guest seat, a beautiful woman with a full body is facing her. She can't see her face, only the butterfly hairpin is trembling and trembling on the black flying bun, as delicate as if Will fly away anytime.
Standing beside her was a maid who was handing a delicate box to grandpa.
The box was opened, and out was a piece of paper.
Then, seeing Grandpa's face turn red quickly, she asked in a trembling voice, "What, what does this mean?"
The maid smiled lightly, with condescending arrogance and contempt: "It is said that your Lu family is a farming and studying family. Although you are poor, you are literate and polite. Mrs. Lu can't even understand words?"
Lu Mingshu froze for a moment, was he laughing at grandpa? a maid
"Ruixiang." The woman on the guest seat said, her voice was still so pleasant.
The maid turned sideways and bowed her head respectfully: "Yes, Miss."
The woman said: "They were born in the countryside, so it's inevitable that they have little knowledge. You can talk to them carefully, don't be rude."
"The servant knows."
The maid turned her head and raised her chin slightly: "Old Master Lu, since you don't understand, then this servant will explain to you. This is the Heli Shu, after your young lady signs it, she will return to the bridge with the head of my family from now on. Irrelevant any more."
Lu Mingshu's eyes widened, and Li Shu? Dad didn't send someone to pick them up, but he wanted to reconcile with mother
Niang stood up abruptly, grabbed the piece of paper, and looked at the content on it in disbelief, her hands shaking more and more.
"No, I don't believe it!" Niang tore the piece of paper suddenly angrily, "Ah Ze wouldn't treat me like this! What about others? Let him come in person!"
"Do you want the master to come in person?" The maid chuckled, "Mrs. Lu, do you know what the master of Jiuyao Palace represents? Even if you Dongyue King sees you, you must respectfully treat him as the guest of honor. Why do you come here?" Seeing you as a village woman?" Glancing at the paper she tore off, she shook out another, "It's useless if you tear it up, there's more here."
"Qingyi!" Grandpa stopped his mother, looked at the woman who had always stayed out of the matter, and said in a deep voice, "This girl, you have to be reasonable in everything. A Ze is my son-in-law. I have written a marriage letter in the world. Even if he wants to reconcile with the account post, he has to come back and make it clear, right?"
"Isn't it clearly written in Heli's book?" the maid asked, "Our sect leader..."
"I didn't talk to you!" Old Master Lu shouted, "You are a slave, what are you talking about here? Didn't the master teach you the rules?"
"You—" the maid was furious, and immediately straightened her body, "Old Master Lu, calling you an old master is already my lady's courtesy to the elderly. I am a servant? Do you know that I, a servant, even went to the palace? You Senior officials in Dongyue should be polite to me!"
The woman who has been staying out of the matter and letting the maid and the old master Lu raised her head: "Ruixiang, speak well, don't use your tongue like the inferior people."
"I'm sorry miss, this servant will explain it to him immediately."
The woman waved her hand: "No need, let me do the talking."
Facing the angry grandfather and mother who was crying, she said softly, "Master Lu, when a hero is in trouble, back then Fu Ze had no wealth, and his aspirations were hard to achieve. Your Lu family called itself a family of good deeds. Not only did he not extend a helping hand to him, but he was also forced to marry him. This is an unjustifiable thing to take advantage of. This marriage letter..." No matter how young Lu Mingshu was, he could hear the disdain in her tone, "If I were you, But shameless."
Hearing what she said, Grandpa stared wide-eyed, Mother even forgot to cry, and looked at her in surprise.
Lu Mingshu clasped the pane abruptly, both surprised and uncomfortable. what did she say? Grandpa forced Dad? If grandpa had treated father badly, he would not have used all his savings to let father go out to find a famous teacher. Their family is not a rich man, they only have the house and a hundred acres of land passed down from their ancestors. She heard from her mother that she even sold half of the land in order to pay for her father's travel expenses.
After a while, Grandpa asked tremblingly, "He said all these words?"
The maid snorted coldly: "Why, you don't recognize it?"
The woman waved her hand and continued: "He has a big heart, and now that he has entered the sea, he will not embarrass you. As long as you sign this paper and leave the letter, you will have nothing to do with your Lu family in the future. I heard that he has a child? The silver bills in the box are used as money for his child's support, and also repaid your Lu family's meals for these years."
The maid quickly continued: "Old Master Lu, there is no point in pestering you any longer. Our head is not a son-in-law who you can call around. He is extremely talented. Straight into the ecstasy state, now in the entire Xichuan, they are all ranked masters. If they were not delayed by you, they would also be on the heavenly list. Such a person, how could your family be able to climb up? Self-knowledge, if I were you, I would simply sign and leave the document, so as not to bring shame upon myself!"
"You—" Lu Mingshu saw that his mother was so angry that his eyes turned red, "What are you talking nonsense about? It was obviously Aze..."
"Qingyi!" Grandpa stopped his mother's words, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense with them, sign it!"
Mother froze and shouted, "Father!"
Grandpa said coldly: "Didn't they make it very clear? If you can't keep someone, you won't be able to keep them if you don't sign. Since he is determined to erase the past, then let him do it!"
Mother was silent, and finally signed the letter of reconciliation with tears in her eyes.
After the matter was done, the maid said: "Okay, Mrs. Lu, after signing the divorce papers, marriage has nothing to do with it from now on. You are still young, so there is still time to choose someone. Just don't look for someone like my family's head again." , you want to find a young talent, everyone understands, but you also have to look at your own conditions, don't you? Don't be greedy, you can live your life!"
The woman stood up and bowed down, but her voice was indescribably proud: "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm sorry."
Lu Mingshu watched them come out of the living room one after the other, and couldn't help but follow to the courtyard gate.
The woman spotted her, turned her head, and glanced at her.
As Xiaohuan said, she is as beautiful as a fairy.
But why is it so uncomfortable for a person who is as beautiful as a fairy to speak
The carriage started, and she heard a voice from inside: "Ruixiang, you talked too much just now, what are you talking about with them?"
Ruixiang's voice was completely different from just now, and she said coquettishly: "Isn't this servant angry? What kind of person is the head of the house, to be a son-in-law in such a family..."
Lu Mingshu never expected that her seventh birthday gift was not a family reunion, but a piece of paper and a letter from her father to her mother.
