Lu Fenghe waved his hand, "Go on down, there's no need to inquire."
The wind suddenly picked up, and purple-red petals floated in with the wind. Lu Fenghe twisted the petals, and the green and white ones were instantly dyed with color.
Taking out the letter from Lu Silang yesterday from the drawer of the kang cabinet, Lu Fenghe's red-stained fingers stopped at the seal and did not move for a long time.
His grandfather and father must be very disappointed. Although he always told himself over and over in his heart that his family would definitely understand him and help him, Lu Fenghe didn't dare to think about whether there would be resentment or reluctance in his heart.
Having a daughter who returns home from marriage will always affect the marriage of girls in the following generations. At least the clan relatives who have girls under their knees will definitely not be happy.
Lu Fenghe was afraid of seeing their letter. They must have comforted her in the letter, and they would definitely stand in front of the dissatisfied clan members, but... Lu Fenghe didn't want his family to face the clan's attacks.
I rubbed it until the corner of the envelope became burred, and the red flower juice on my hand stained the envelope.
Lu Fenghe finally mustered up the courage to open one of the letters.
"Please, my son"
Lu Fenghe's eyes filled with tears when he saw his grandmother's regular hairpin and regular script.
My grandmother was in poor health and had not left Piling for a long time. Even when she got married, she never left.
At that time, my grandmother also ordered Fifth Brother, who was the best at fine brushwork, to draw every room in Lu Fenghe Bailu Garden.
He said that he missed her, and looked at the appearance of her house, and imagined what kind of house she would be sitting in, and what she would be doing. Lu Fenghe felt sad after seeing the concern of his grandparents with his own eyes.
When Mrs. Zhao came in, she saw Lu Fenghe crying and lying on the pillow.
"Xiao Shi, what's wrong with you? Mrs. Zhao saw the paper on the kang table, "But your father taught you a lesson, don't cry, your father..."
Lu Fenghe threw himself into Zhao's arms and shook his head repeatedly, "Dad did not reprimand his daughter, he just asked her to take good care of herself and go home as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and her husband wrote some gossip about the family and his worries in the letter to her. Mrs. Zhao was afraid that her husband would tell her daughter without knowing the importance of it.
"Then why are you crying, but you are homesick? If you bear with it a little longer, we will go home in about ten days."
Lu Fenghe nodded in Zhao's arms, and if he endured it any longer, the turmoil back in Kyoto would have nothing to do with him.
Relying on his mother, Lu Fenghe's mood quickly stabilized.
Before the evening meal, Fourth Lady Lu came over, but she only paid attention to the daily life of Lu Fenghe and her sister, and did not mention Aunt Gao. This made Lu Fenghe a little flustered, wondering whether Aunt Gao had any lawsuit against her.
Lu Feng Hexi ate some food and didn't know how to taste it. He couldn't tell whether it was because he had something on his mind or because his brother was away.
The sky had completely darkened, and Brother Lao came back accompanied by Fu An.
Lu Fenghe stood up and took two steps, only to find that Fu An was followed by a young man.
"Mom, Brother Mu will live with Brother La from now on." Apparently Brother La has a very harmonious relationship with the young man behind him.
"What's going on?" Lu Fenghe asked Fu'an.
Fu'an bowed and did not stand up.
Lu Fenghe waved his hand, and Cuizhi came over to hold him, "Brother has just come back from outside. Please go wash your hands and face with your aunt and change your clothes."
Cuizhi took the two children out, and then Lu Fenghe said coldly: "Go ahead."
"Madam, this child is an orphan picked up by Lang Jun in the northwest. He has a clean background, is very strong, and has a flexible mind. He grew up on the grasslands and is very good at identifying directions. Now he looks thin and is already seven years old.
More, the master means to stay with me, it is cheaper to be a servant or a bookboy."
Lu Fenghe didn't believe that Shen Nanxun had given someone to Brother Bao on a temporary basis.
"The background is really clean?"
Fu'an nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, madam, it's absolutely clean, otherwise I wouldn't give it to my brother."
"Is it true that I can't deliver a letter to you?"
Fu'an laughed, "I'm just kidding. This boy was picked up the year before last. His master sent him to the shantang for a while, but he ran away. He ran to the prince's palace and met Shoukang. He was sent back again, and then escaped again. This time I ran to Ma Junsi in the suburbs and said that I wanted to join the army. How could anyone from Ma Junsi accept him? Knowing that his master had picked it up, he asked him to take it away. It only took half a year to follow Shoukangman for a full year. Grandma Yan Taught some rules."
Lu Fenghe knew that Fu'an could not decide whether this person should stay or go. Even if Fu'an told him that this child was not simple, Fu'an would not dare to take him away.
"Stay here first and let your master come to see me."
Fu'an bowed and handed over a piece of identification of the boy, who was indeed from Yongxing Junlu.
Lu Fenghe accepted the body deed, and Fu An asked him to leave.
Fu'an went out with his front foot, and Cuizhi came in with his back foot.
"Where's my brother?"
Cuizhi was a little helpless, "I was taking a bath, but my slave was kicked out."
"Then who will wash him?"
"The boy I brought back said that my slave is a woman and my brother is a man. There is a difference between men and women. He will wait for my brother to wash."
"That kid is only seven years old."
"Seven years old? Don't think he is only five or six years old, it doesn't look like him at all."
"You came out when I asked you to?" Lu Fenghe frowned and scolded.
Cuizhi hurriedly apologized, "I asked Liu Ye'er to wait in the clean room. Come and talk to the girl first."
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Hurry up and wait on me."
Shen Nanxun used this trick really well. First, she let someone get in touch with Brother Bao, and made Brother Bao become interested in this companion. If she wants to kick this child out again, Brother Bao will definitely be sad for a while.
In his previous life, his mother-in-law arranged to have a boy next to him. When he was six years old, he chose a child less than half a year older from the Shen family to keep him company.
That's true companionship. The two of them almost eat and live together, and they do bad things together.
"Watch carefully and see if you can keep it."
Lu Fenghe secretly disliked it, not because it was sent by Shen Nanxun, but because she didn't choose it by herself and she didn't dare to use it.
Then I thought about it again, so what did I choose? Aunt Gao had been with me for so many years, and she hadn't been bribed with just a few taels of silver.
If there is no wood left today, Shen Nanxun can send a stone tomorrow. She can accept the person Shen Nanxun sends to her brother and sister. The premise is that this person must recognize the master, not her, and recognize her brother and sister. That’s it.
After a while, Cuizhi came in with two clean-up children, and Lu Fenghe asked Brother Bao to sit next to him.
"Where are you from? How old are you? Why did you sell yourself?"
The child's words were quite clear, and they were almost the same as Fu'an's words.
"I ran away after working in the shantang and I didn't have enough to eat. Uncle Shoukang sent me back and they locked me in a woodshed and beat me, so I ran away again. Uncle Fu'an said that if I sell myself, I can be released. As long as I’m fed and clothed, I’ll sign.”
"They didn't tell you that you had to work?" Lu Fenghe asked.
