When everyone walked to the main hall, Lu Liangchen and Lu Qingxuan fell behind. Lu Qingxuan asked in a low voice:

"What do you think?"

Lu Liangchen stared at Chen Ya's back in front of him and whispered: "Hey, I'm not sure. This guy doesn't look like the junior high school dropout that Lu Shaohai said."

Lu Qingxuan rolled his eyes and said:

"Who asked him? That person is not important. I asked why my great-grandmother suddenly wanted to eat at Fushou Tang today."

Lu Liangchen was a little surprised: "Didn't you have a pleasant conversation with him just now?"

"You can tell with that eye that I'm happy?" Lu Qingxuan said angrily.

Lu Liangchen knew that Lu Qingxuan didn't like to joke, so he quickly stopped teasing her and said:

"Seriously, did you see anyone else coming today?"

"Who? Are you talking about Li Siqing?" Lu Qingxuan asked.

"Well," Lu Liangchen nodded, "Maybe he wants Lu Ningna to show off in front of us and consolidate her position."

Lu Qingxuan frowned slightly: "It's possible."

After saying that, she smiled bitterly again: "Everyone knows that Grandma is partial, so why bother to do this? It would make us look too philistine and utilitarian, and no one wants to compete with Lu Ningna."

"yes."

What Lu Liangchen said was a little vague.

He didn't say that he didn't want to argue with Lu Nina.

In this family, perhaps only a person like Lu Qingxuan, who has a high self-esteem, can say this confidently.

Lu Ningna takes up the few resources of the family by herself. Who doesn't feel a little bit little about Xiao Jiujiu after seeing this?

After entering the main hall, the two people quickly stopped talking in private, and unconsciously moved away from each other, with business-like smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Yu smiled brightly: "Sit down, children, sit wherever you like."

They said they could sit anywhere, but no one dared to sit on top of Lu Ningna. After she sat down, the others took their seats one after another.

Naturally, Chen Ya sat at the bottom.

"Okay, okay, okay." Old Mrs. Yu smiled kindly, looked at the juniors sitting on the seats and said three good words in succession.

The second master moved beside her, his face full of displeasure.

The clock behind them showed that the time was already 12:10. Usually at this time, he would have finished his meal and sunbathed outside in the yard.

"Our table is for twelve people. Now there are eleven seats, leaving only one empty seat. It's great. It's really nice to have so many people from my Lu family eating together."

Lu Ningna said from the bottom: "Grandma, what's so happy about this? When our family eats during the Chinese New Year, two or three tables can be full."

Mrs. Yu said: "Have you seen "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Lu Ningna said: "I have watched the TV series..."

"Then you haven't read the original work?"

"Then I don't have time to look."

Lu Qingxuan said: "I have seen it."

Old Mrs. Yu looked at Lu Qingxuan and said:

"Do you still remember the time in "A Dream of Red Mansions" when the entire Jia family gathered together during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Grand View Garden?"

Lu Qingxuan thought about it and nodded hesitantly: "I remember... I have to."

"I couldn't understand it before, but now I understand it," said Mrs. Yu, with a strange expression on her face. "Then Mother Jia came to the table and lamented that there were too few people. My mood now is the same as hers."

Lu Qingxuan was confused for a moment.

The episode that Mrs. Yu mentioned was the seventy-fifth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", "The night banquet is a strange omen and a sad sound is heard, and the new Mid-Autumn poems are rewarded with good prophecies." This was the only time that Cao Xueqin wrote about the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Jia family.

However, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a lively and lively event on the surface, but there were signs everywhere that the family was about to decline.

It is exactly the same as the current Lu family.

Lu Qingxuan couldn't understand why Grandma suddenly said this.

This is so unlucky.

She has always been unscrupulous, and she refuses to hide any doubts in her heart. She has always felt that if there is an ominous sign, it will not be considered unlucky if it is revealed to her face.

So Lu Qingxuan said: "Grandma, I have something to say, but I'm afraid it won't make sense when I say it. I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Then if your words really don't sound good to my ears, I will treat you as a childish talker."

On the seat next to her, an uncle from the Lu family said with a smile: "Grandma, Qingxuan is already in her late twenties, so she is no longer a child."

She said: "In my eyes, you are all children. Qingxuan, you tell me."

Lu Qingxuan said: "Grandma, I have read the Red Mansion of Zhi Ping. I have also seen the place you mentioned. The annotation of Zhi Yanzhai there is: 'To touch the human body before drinking is always a sign of disintegration.'

Is what you said unlucky?"

The sentence "To impress someone before drinking is always a sign of dissolution" frightened several uncles and uncles so much that their expressions changed, and even Lu Liangchen looked at her in surprise.

"Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled!" said the uncle, "Qingxuan, if you punish yourself with a drink, it won't be counted as saying something wrong."

Old Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand to block what the uncle was saying.

"Qingxuan is right, it is unlucky, but I was just about to say, it is unlucky," Mrs. Yu said with a serious expression, "An incident that happened not long ago reminded me of the story in "A Dream of Red Mansions"

This time, my Lu family looks so much like the Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion!

"Do you know what happened this morning?"

After saying that, her eyes became cold, she glanced around the table and said:

"When I was drinking tea in the morning, I suddenly discovered that my Liu'an melon slices had been changed from pickle slices to plum slices. I asked Butler Cheng about it, and he said that the owner wanted to save money, so he had no choice but to make the tea.

one time."

"I was very angry. After I was angry, I thought of this episode in "Dream of Red Mansions" with sadness, 'The clever wife can't make porridge without rice.' Just because there is an extra girl, even the rice is tight.

Damn it, it shows that this family has been completely defeated."

The people on the seats listened to Mrs. Yu's words, except for Chen Ya, they all dared not express their anger.

Mrs. Yu shook her head and continued:

"So at noon today, I said, invite all the family members, especially the juniors. I want to see if the juniors in the family have no serious business, and whether they all have to be idle people.

, cannot afford this home supported by the elderly."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Upon hearing this, several "juniors" all replied that they would never let down the expectations of their great-grandmother.

Lu Qingxuan's voice was clear: "Grandma, sister Lu Ningna is not Lin Daiyu, and I am not Wang Xifeng. The future of the Lu family will not decline in our hands."

"Okay." Old Mrs. Yu nodded, "Then our Lu family has to change the rules. Just like reform, a new wind must be blown before we can stand up again. From now on, we will only choose people based on their talents. Grandma, I will

, let’s play a game with everyone.”

She waved her hand, and the servant poured a glass of wine for everyone at the table. Mrs. Yu said:

"You have to drink wine today, but you can't just drink. Each of you juniors has to perform one of your best talents for your uncles, uncles, and teacher Li Siqing to see. Whoever performs best will be rewarded by grandma.

"

Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan and Lu Liangchen looked at each other.

Both of them thought: It is indeed so!

There was so much foreshadowing, and he also said that he wanted to see the juniors show off their talents. It was clear that he didn’t want them to compete, but he clearly wanted Lu Ningna to show off her skills in front of everyone!

It seems that Lu Ningna has successfully studied with Li Siqing and has already gained some proficiency in the violin.

Recently, everyone has witnessed the resources the family has invested in Lu Ningna:

First, she hired Li Siqing, a national-level violinist, to be her violin teacher, and then sent her to participate in various competitions, where she won several places.

Some media outlets that have good relations with the family have begun to publish introductory articles about Ning Na, calling her a "newcomer in the classical world"... No one is more familiar with this method than the children of the Lu family.

In the past, if Aihua wanted to make a certain star famous, he would always do this.

Since the family lost Aihua Company, there are not many resources left. They want to gather the family's last influence in the entertainment industry, push Lu Ningna into a traffic hot spot, and make her a "violin goddess".

In this way, she will become a cash cow for the family, which will be more conducive to the stable transition of the head of the family's position.

However, these arrangements of the family will naturally cause some people to be slightly dissatisfied.

Therefore, Mrs. Yu wanted to take advantage of this noon to beat them so that Ningna Lu could secure her position.

When they thought about this level, Lu Qingxuan and Lu Liangchen lost interest.

They have no interest in being a foil to Ningna Lu.

Old Mrs. Yu clapped her hands, and the servants came up with a lot of musical instruments.

She said: "Then...start with Chai Xian."

"I??"
