Chapter 5 005
Lu picked a few more cherries and handed them to Lu Ding next to him. Lu Yilan said, "You two eat too, don't be polite to your aunt."
Lu Ding and his sister thanked each other, took the cherries and started eating them, and the young man and woman also showed satisfaction on their faces.
Some people liked the cherries she planted, and Lu was in a better mood. The aunt and nephew picked a small basket and handed it over to the maid to wash it. They entered the house with a chat and laugh.
The furnishings and materials in the main hall were all top-quality. Lu didn't know whether the utensils were good or bad. She accepted everything that King Chun prepared for her at the beginning, and the yard was taken care of according to her own preferences.
When family members reunited, Lu carefully inquired about the situation in Jiangnan. The death of her brother and sister-in-law made her sigh in her heart, but after all, she hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and time and distance diluted the sadness of separation and death.
Soon, Princess Chun ordered someone to give her a few sets of clothes for men and women to Xu Roujia and his sister.
Lu sighed inwardly, this princess was really thoughtful.
The three brothers and sisters went to change their clothes. Qiu Ju, the eldest maid next to Lu, whispered to her: "Auntie, the cousins are here. Do you want to invite the fourth master to come and have dinner together at noon?"
When Lu heard this, he sneered: "He doesn't even like me, my mother. How could he care about three cousins from ordinary people? Even if you invite him, he will never come. Even if he comes, he will still be tense of a dead face. Who wants to see him?"
Qiuju thinks about the temper of his fourth master and has made a promise.
.
At noon, Lu personally cooked and prepared four meals and one soup to entertain his nephews and nieces.
Xu Roujia walked all morning and started to feel sleepy when she was full. She was thin and she was not energetic and had no choice.
Lu arranged for Lu Ding to live in the front yard, and then led Lu Yilan and Xu Roujia to the back yard and asked the two sisters to live in the wing room of the back yard. He watched the two poor nieces fall asleep in person, and then Lu went to rest on his own.
As soon as Lu left, Xu Roujia, who was pretending to be sleeping on the bed, immediately opened her eyes.
It has been seven or eight days since Xu Roujia has not seen her face now. The bronze mirror on the boat is too blurry and it is impossible to see clearly.
How is this Tao growing?
The temporary maid arranged by Lu was guarding the outside. Xu Roujia quietly got out of bed and came to the dressing table. The bronze mirror of the royal palace was much brighter. Xu Roujia leaned in front of the bronze mirror, and there was a thin white face inside, with a peach cheek, a cute and silly man. She looked like a beauty, but she was too thin and looked a little bitter.
Xu Roujia stared blankly at the "Atao" in the mirror.
How come this Tao looks so similar to her?
Too shocked, Xu Roujia fell on the wide chair, still staring at the bronze mirror.
Could it be that the two of them look similar that her soul entered A Tao’s body?
After a while, Xu Roujia raised her hand and stroked her face inch by inch. The little girl's skin was tender and warm, as beautiful as the top jade. Xu Roujia's fingers moved from her cheeks to her brows and then to her ears. She was beautiful, and this A Tao gave birth to her almost as beautiful as hers. I think she was a beautiful baby just born. Since that's the case, why did A Tao's parents cruelly throw her away and make her an abandoned baby?
After learning that A Tao was an orphan, Xu Roujia asked Lu Ding about A Tao's life experience. Unfortunately, Lu Ding was unaware of it. Lu Yilan disliked her, so Xu Roujia simply did not go to Lu Yilan to make trouble.
However, compared with the secrets of A Tao, Xu Roujia was more concerned about herself in the palace. Since she arrived at the royal palace, she had to find an opportunity to find out the news. This is her uncle's home, so it should be easy to inquire about her recent situation.
With a plan, Xu Roujia has calmed down for the time being and goes to rest first.
.
At dusk, King Chun returned to the royal mansion from the Ministry of Revenue. After changing his clothes, the manager bowed his waist and reported: "Prince, the princess, please come over."
King Chun nodded and moved to Funing Hall. The couple's residence was close to each other and arrived shortly after leaving.
Princess Chun was already waiting in the hall, and the sunset was shining all over the yard. She saw her husband walking over in a leisurely garden. The forty-year-old King Chun was wearing a jade-colored brocade robe, slender and upright, with a graceful face like a crown of jade, and was still a handsome man in his twenties. He was only a bit more years older than when he was young. He smiled elegantly, and when he didn't smile, he had a silent majesty.
Emperor Yongxi ruled three princes, and her husband, King Chun, had the best appearance.
"The prince is back." Princess Chun smiled and greeted her.
Seeing that his wife looked as usual, King Chun thought that his wife would have nothing to do with him, so he relaxed and walked into the hall with Princess Chun's hand, and then sat in the main seats respectively.
The maids served tea in an orderly manner. King Chun picked up the tea bowl and tasted it gently, with a leisurely posture.
Princess Chun waited for him to put down the tea bowl and briefly said the Lu Ding brother and sister who came to join him.
King Chun was surprised at first, and then faced the setting sun in the yard and fell into memories.
That year he was ordered to work in Jiangnan and met the Lu family of Tofu Xishi. Lu family was beautiful and fierce, very wild, and was different from all kinds of beauties he had ever seen. The more he saw, the more he liked it, he really took some effort to successfully take Lu family to his side. As for Lu's brother, Chun Wang still had some impression of him, he was a simple and simple man from Jiangnan. Chun Wang promised him wealth and honest people refused to accept it.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
A wisp of cool breeze blew in. King Chun walked out of the memory and said to his wife: "It's hard for those three children to come from all the way."
Princess Chun heard that King Chun intended to take in the Lu brother and sister.
She sighed softly: "Yes, Lu Ding is only one year older than the fourth child. She is already as sensible as an adult. Lu Yilan is beautiful and charming, and A Tao is so beautiful. I think the three children are pitiful. Let Aunt Lu take care of them for the time being. However, Lu Ding is old and it is difficult to stay in the back house. What arrangements does the prince have?"
King Chun pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and have a look first."
It’s easy for girls to say, just keep it by Lu’s side, but how to arrange Lu Ding also depends on Lu Ding’s character and knowledge.
When Prince Chun was going to see the child, he naturally went to Xiaoyueju. At this time, he would probably rest there. Thinking of Lu's no longer fair and delicate skin and the temperament of the peasant woman, Princess Chun had nothing to jealous, so she smiled and sent Prince Chun out of Funing Hall.
King Chun hasn't come to Xiaoyueju for a while.
When he stepped into Xiaoyueju again and saw the vegetable beds and fruit trees in the yard, Chun Wang immediately remembered the situation when he came to Xiaoyueju last time. That day, Lu was fertilizing the bean fields in the backyard. The fertilizer was chicken manure she got from somewhere. It tasted pungent and she was also covered in smell. In such a embarrassing situation, Lu didn't care. Instead, he laughed at him for being Jingui, saying that if the prince couldn't stand it, he would go back. So Chun Wang was so angry that he really left.
It seems that it happened a few years ago, right? Later, he only met Lu when Lu and other concubines went to the princess to pay their respects. Seeing Lu abused himself more and more, his face turned yellow and his hands thicker, and his dressing became more and more like a peasant woman. King Chun's heart became less and less concerned about Lu's vigor and wildness, on the premise that Lu had to maintain her beauty. He didn't care about the appearance caused by time. King Chun was not happy about Lu abused himself.
Thinking about the bad things about Lu, when he entered Xiaoyueju, King Chun looked a little serious.
Then, as soon as Prince Chun walked to the center of the yard, he saw a black-haired puppy running out of the main hall, followed by a little girl in a pink shirt and skirt. The little girl smiled happily, but when she saw him, an uninvited guest, the little girl stopped immediately and stood blankly in front of the main hall door, staring at him with her almond eyes.
King Chun's body stiffened, and the child looked like his niece who died prematurely! If he had not seen his niece's body with his own eyes, King Chun would have suspected that his niece had recovered from the dead!
Big and small stare at each other, looking at her uncle who was tall and tall, as tall as pine and cypress, Xu Roujia slowly turned red. She went to the palace to visit her uncle for the last time in her previous life. Although her uncle was only fifty years old, she was as thin as a firewood due to illness and wrinkles on her face. Xu Roujia couldn't help crying at the head of her uncle's bed. She knelt on her head and felt sad.
After feeling sorry for his uncle, Xu Roujia began to feel sorry for himself again, looking at King Chun with grievance.
In the previous life, my uncle loved her and treated her niece better than her biological daughters. Unfortunately, my uncle died of injury after five years of succession. As soon as my uncle left, the imperial city became in chaos. My fourth cousin Zhou Qi bullied her, and her husband Xie Jin also wanted to kill her life with his own hands! If my uncle was alive, how could he become like that?
"uncle……"
Just when Xu Roujia couldn't help but almost shouted the word "uncle", the little black dog she chased and ran away suddenly rushed to King Chun and barked, the dog was quite brave!
Xu Roujia:...
King Chun:...
The little black dog is newly raised by the Lu family. When he met King Chun for the first time, he certainly had to show his ability to guard the house and protect the hospital.
The barking of the dog alarmed Lu. Lu also thought that the dog was about to bite his little niece. Lu Yilan, who was talking with her knees, hurried out. He found that King Chun, who had not seen for a long time, was stopped by the little black dog. The noble prince was actually swept his face by a dog. Lu couldn't help but be happy. While walking to Xu Roujia, he smiled and called the dog: "Hei Dou is back!"
Heidou listened to the hostess' words very much, looked at King Chun with his neck tilted, and ran back to Xu Roujia.
King Chun's face was a little dark. Seeing Lu's disregard for his appearance, he became even more frustrated. There were four wives and concubines in his backyard. Except for Lu, who did not please him in every way? Only Lu, she didn't care if she lost her favor. He was rare to come over. She didn't know that Quyi would cater to him, and she dared to laugh at him?
If it weren't for the serious business, King Chun really wanted to leave and let Lu continue to accompany the dog!
With a calm face, King Chun went directly to the hall with his sisters Lu and Xu Roujia.
Xu Roujia immediately realized that her uncle, now the cheap uncle in her previous life, was angry!
Xu Roujia looked up worriedly, but saw that Lu was fine, as if King Chun was not her husband, but just an idle person to visit.
"Don't be afraid of A Tao, the prince just doesn't like to laugh, he is not fierce." The misunderstanding of his niece was scared, and Lu comforted him in turn, with a warm smile.
Xu Roujia:...
