Chapter 85 Then fulfill your filial piety
On the way back, she couldn't stop Lin Pingzhan from trying to trick Lu Zheng.
When she arrived, there were still the same number of people in the carriage as before, but Lu Cheng'an didn't speak any more, and Lu Qianqian still looked downcast, not looking at anyone.
Lu Weiyu looked around with the others without saying a word.
But she keenly felt the reason why her cousin didn't speak.
Lu Qianqian's behavior after arriving at the General's Mansion made the Lu family lose their dignity.
The concubine's house is also the concubine's house in the uncle's house, not to mention that the cousin is the eldest grandson of his grandfather, so the dignity of the uncle's house is also his dignity.
But Lu Qianqian was also the concubine of the first wife, so it was not easy to scold her directly from across the room.
Back at the uncle's house, Lu Weiyu got off the carriage and called Zheng'er to go to the Xifu together.
"First cousin, second cousin, you go to the main courtyard first, we will be back soon."
"Go back quickly, I want to have a meal at your place at noon." Lin Pingzhan said.
Lin Kangjie looked at his eldest brother in surprise and found that he was becoming more and more rogue. He was looking for a meal with his cousin?
However, after hearing from Zheng'er that he would have his own table in Qingfeng Yuan today, he was looking forward to it.
Lu Weiyu took his brothers and sisters and followed Lu Chengan and the others to Xifu.
As expected, Lu Tiancheng was waiting. His wife and concubines were also drinking tea and talking there, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
However, the old aunt was not present, so she must have avoided it on purpose.
Lu Weiyu and Lu Zheng are the legitimate daughters and sons of the first wife. Even if they are ancestors, aunts are still aunts, so they have to bow to them in reverse.
This is because in previous years Lu Weiyu would not come to Xifu to kowtow to pay New Year greetings, and Lu Tiancheng would not complain.
This year Lu Weiyu took the initiative to suggest that he was a little surprised, and he was not short of those few silver pancakes.
He helps his brother-in-law take care of the family business, and is the one who shares the most profits among his relatives, so his life is not bad.
As for the few cousins who join the army, their salary alone is not enough, and the uncle's family also supports them every year.
But on the surface, the ancestral hall and the family are managed through the uncle's house, and then distributed to each family from the ancestral hall and the family.
Lu Weiyu led his brothers and sisters in and greeted them lively.
Then Lu Tiancheng's wife, Mrs. Song, also came out of the side room and sat down next to Lu Tiancheng.
Lu Weiyu has no airs as a legitimate wife, and is even more of a junior at this time.
She kowtowed happily and said some auspicious words, which made Lu Tiancheng laugh happily.
Lu Tiancheng and his wife each gave Lu Weiyu and Lu Zheng four silver cakes, and each gave Lu Qianqian and Lu Yunyun two.
In other words, Lu Weiyu got eight silver pancakes, and Lu Qianqian got four.
There are more than those at the General's Mansion.
But the General Mansion is originally a foreign relative, and Lu Tiancheng is an uncle in the family, which is also different.
Mrs. Song warmly greeted Lu Weiyu and the others to eat pastries, and also left them to eat stew.
"Second uncle and second aunt, please don't be busy. We have run around a lot and have to go back to rest."
"Cousin from the Lin family went to pay New Year's greetings to my father and mother, and he still wants to go to my place. I have to go back quickly."
"It's rare for my second uncle to rest at home during the Chinese New Year. There's a reunion dinner and a New Year's Eve celebration in the evening, so we won't make any noise here."
After Lu Weiyu finished speaking with a smile, he looked at the children who were taking their little cloth bags to their aunts.
"Would you like to go there with me now, or let my brother take you there later?"
"Now! With big sister!" Lu Lingshuang, the youngest, was the first to speak.
She already enjoys playing with her big sister.
"Then let's go together. The plum garden is right outside my yard. You can go and enjoy the flowers first."
"It's just that the snow hasn't melted yet, so it's a bit cold. Please bring a hand stove."
Lu Weiyu smiled and warned them.
She wants to get all the little sisters in the concubine's house to move around, so that before that day comes, it will be enough to deal with Lu Qianqian.
"What hand stove do you want? Just don't play in the snow." Lu Linglong said immediately.
Not all concubines have hand stoves, and they haven't brought them out. It would be troublesome to have to add charcoal.
"Let's go then, cousin, Cheng Ning, Cheng Yu hasn't come back yet, do we have to hide this new year's money?"
Lu Weiyu turned around and looked at it, jokingly.
"Oh, don't worry about them, let's go first." Lu Linglong rolled her eyes at her and led her younger sister out first.
If Lu Linglong was still particular about concubines in the past, especially after the arrogant Lu Qianqian came out of her first wife, she became even more wary of her concubines.
But today when she saw Lu Weiyu versus Lu Yunyun, she felt that not everyone was Lu Yunyun.
Her concubine sisters all have pretty good tempers, and she can also learn from her elder sisters and not get into trouble.
We are all sisters in the uncle's house, and there will always be times when we can support each other in the future.
A group of sisters returned to Dongfu with Lu Zheng, and the three brothers Lu Chengan caught up with them halfway.
They all shouted that they wanted to enjoy the plum blossoms and play in Qingfengyuan.
Lu Weiyu led the team to complete the task of paying New Year greetings and asking for lucky money today, and went to the main courtyard first.
All the relatives who came to pay New Year greetings have gone back and will not have dinner here at noon.
It was still quiet in the main courtyard.
When she learned that her two cousins had indeed gone to her place, Lu Weiyu was amused and hurriedly led her team there.
By the time Lu Qianqian didn't want to go, she was lagging behind.
After Lu Weiyu and the others left, they immediately knelt in front of Lu Tianyao.
"I beg father to have mercy and let Qianqian and my aunt get together."
She went to see Aunt Yang before and learned that Aunt Yang's confinement had been extended and there was no doctor to treat her illness.
The broken things in the room were not covered up, and it was even more empty and shabby than Yuehuaxuan.
Father has not set foot in Chunyueyuan these days.
Aunt Yang was so excited that she burst into tears when she saw her going.
If she hadn't repeatedly explained that she had to follow her sister-in-law to the great-uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings and not cry, Aunt Yang would have hugged her and never let go.
"Then I'll fulfill your filial piety and spend the New Year with your aunt at her place today. She can't come out. Do you understand?"
Lu Tianyao looked at his daughter who was kneeling in front of her with red eyes and trying to hold back her tears, but he didn't feel any distress.
Just now, the Lin brothers came over to pay New Year greetings and mentioned Mrs. Lin's wishes.
I would like to quietly inquire whether Lu Linglong is related to her, her birthday, etc. She seems to be a good match for Zhan Hong at her age.
The apparent meaning of this statement is that he intends to have a concubine and a legitimate daughter.
The implication is that he clearly declares that he would rather have a concubine's daughter than a concubine's concubine.
Lu Qianqian is not worthy of Lin Zhanhong.
The General's Mansion also had no interest in Lu Qianqian.
Lu Tianyao didn't think too much about choosing to say such words on a day like New Year's Eve, but Mrs. Lu asked why.
Lin Pingzhan then tactfully talked about Lu Qianqian's behavior and how Lin Xueqi always made things difficult for Wei Yu because of Lu Qianqian.
I didn't hide it for Lin Xueqi.
However, I didn’t go into details about what happened, but just revealed some things in my words.
Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Tianyao angrily.
And gave a reply: If she gets better after spring, she will have the opportunity to invite the Lin family brothers and sister-in-law to come over for a reunion.
She couldn't go back to her parents' home on the second day of the first lunar month in such a cold weather.
In previous years, Lu Weiyu also brought Zheng'er and his concubine sisters there.
