Mingyue was indeed good at calming children, and soon the group of noisy kids quieted down.
The children all looked at Mingyue with admiration and trust, and their expressions of complete submission were evident.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Lu's brows relaxed completely and he made up his mind secretly.
"Sister came here today because she wanted you to meet someone," Mingyue took Father Lu's arm and said with a smile, "This is Sister's father. He will be your relative in the future. You can call him Uncle Lu."
When the children heard about Mr. Lu's identity, they couldn't help but feel a little reserved, fearing that he didn't like them.
As a long string of "Uncle Lu..." sounded...
Father Lu subconsciously tightened his jaw and raised his chin slightly, his expression becoming more serious: "Well, they are all good children."
However, in the eyes of the children, his expression showed that he was unhappy, and the children immediately fell silent.
Mingyue saw that this wouldn’t work.
She tugged at Father Lu's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Dad, don't be so serious. Look how scared you are to the children."
Father Lu blinked his eyes. Wasn’t he trying to appear steady and reliable
Mingyue turned to the children and said, "It's not that your Uncle Lu has any problem with you, he's just a little too calm. How about this, you guys go and introduce yourselves to him one by one, so that he can get to know you."
Amid the children's suspicious gazes, Father Lu forced a stiff smile.
Lu Yunqi, who has a cheerful personality, was the first to stand up under Mingyue's encouraging eyes: "Uncle Lu, my name is Lu Yunqi. I like reading and writing, eating meat, memorizing, and I like fairy sisters the most."
Father Lu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, study hard and get a top score in the exam in the future to make your fairy sister proud."
Lu Yunqi smiled widely and nodded vigorously: "Yeah."
Of course, no one knew at the moment, but what Mr. Lu said had come true!
With someone taking the lead, it becomes much easier for the children to introduce themselves later.
Then Father Lu discovered that the children his daughter adopted really liked all kinds of strange things.
It's not surprising to be good at both civil and military affairs. It's not uncommon to like using a chopping board, an abacus, and taking pulses. But what kind of hobbies are these if they like playing in the mud, singing operas, and being a military strategist
But seeing his daughter and the children looking so happy, Father Lu sighed in his heart but a smile appeared on his face.
Forget it, it’s not like Lu Zhenjiang can’t afford to support them. After all, they call him Uncle Lu!
It wasn't long before noon arrived. Mingyue specifically asked her aunt to go to the restaurant outside to buy ready-made meals, set up four tables, and had lunch with the children.
During the time, a group of children were vying to sit with Mingyue and they almost got into a fight. This gave Father Lu a headache. He just thought that this child was well-behaved and that child was also well-behaved.
In the end, it was Mingyue who asked them to play the palm and back of their hands, and selected a few lucky classmates by luck, which broke the deadlock.
I have to admit that Father Lu smiled a lot that day and felt very relaxed.
But when the father and daughter returned to the Lu Mansion, Father Lu couldn't help but ask his daughter: "Yue'er, have you ever thought about the future of those children?"
Mingyue thought: It’s finally here.
She let Father Lu get to know the children and asked them to get along well with each other, just for Father Lu's proactive concern.
Mingyue put a strand of hair behind her ear and said casually, "My daughter doesn't know what the future is, and she hasn't thought about it. I only know what they like, so I'll let them learn it. Anyway, their future path is their own choice."
Father Lu was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he actually thought that this made sense. But after a moment he came to his senses again, and thought that it made sense. Those kids were so young, what did they know? What did they understand
No, he needs to think about this matter carefully.
Father Lu waved his hand: "Forget it, you are tired today, go back and rest early!"
"Then Daddy should rest early." Mingyue didn't say much, as there was still a long time to come.
The father and daughter stopped talking and went back to their respective yards.
*
Originally Mingyue was supposed to go to the mountain to supervise the work the next day, but thinking of the news she got last night, she lay in the house calmly again.
Sure enough, it was just dawn and the moon hadn't risen yet, but Zhang Cuixiu came again.
Moreover, when Zhang Cuixiu entered the house, she happened to meet Lu's father who was about to go out. When he saw Zhang Cuixiu coming so early in the morning, Lu's father remembered what his daughter said about her coming to ask for something.
Father Lu has been very busy these days and forgot to warn the Zhang family. But when he saw Zhang Cuixiu, he remembered it.
Father Lu did not say hello to Zhang Cuixiu. After he left, he called a manager and asked him to take back the shop that was rented to the Zhang couple.
When he drove Zhang away, he gave her a lot of things. In recent years, Zhang opened a shop selling sweet soup, which was rented from the Lu family. For Mingyue's sake, Lu's father only collected one-third of the rent from Zhang.
Now, Father Lu doesn't want to be a scapegoat anymore.
Of course Zhang Cuixiu didn't know about this. She had thirty taels of silver in her arms, and her heart and eyes were filled with reluctance and anger.
Especially after touching her empty bun, Zhang Cuixiu became even more sad. She not only sold all her jewelry, but also stole more than ten taels of silver from her mother, only then could she collect the thirty taels.
But the thirty taels had not yet been touched and were about to be handed over to Mingyue.
Seeing Zhang Cuixiu, who looked gloomy, rushing into the young lady's room, Lu Wu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Zhang, my young lady hasn't woken up yet."
This time, she really ran into Zhang Cuixiu's trap. She was so angry that she couldn't find a place to vent!
"Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?" Zhang Cuixiu said sarcastically, and pushed Luwu forward hard.
Lu Wu was pushed without any preparation and staggered, bumping into the pillar beside her, and immediately gasped.
Zhang Cuixiu sneered at this and said, "What a blind person."
And Mingyue was successfully woken up by them.
Mingyue put on a cloak, opened the door and walked out.
Seeing Lv Wu covering the back of her head, Ming Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You bullied my maid in front of me. I don't know when you have the final say in our Lu Mansion?"
Zhang Cuixiu was stunned. She didn't expect Mingyue to speak like this.
"Ayue, what are you talking about? It's obviously this girl who is blind, why are you helping her?" Zhang Cuixiu took out some silver from her bosom and put on a flattering smile: "And look at what I'm doing here? This is the silver that Master Liu gave you to buy brocade. Master Liu's sincerity..."
Lu Wu looked at them in surprise. Young Master Liu? What Young Master Liu
You should know that in the past, Zhang Cuixiu and Lu Mingyue would always talk about Liu Shumin behind the back of the people in the Lu Mansion. This was the first time that Zhang Cuixiu mentioned it in front of outsiders because she panicked.
But Mingyue felt that the time had come for some things.
Mingyue interrupted, "Put down the silver, you can go."
