The affairs of the wine city were temporarily left to Song Ji, the 'Grasshopper after Autumn', for a few more days, while Xiao Tingyun focused on the upcoming succession ceremony.
After one night, early the next morning, Xiao Tingyun went to Star Port in person to pick up Lu Junxiao, who came to the Imperial Capital Star to watch the ceremony.
This time, the only people from the Lu family came were Lu Junxiao and his wife. Because Mr. Lu was still ill and needed someone to take care of him, the second son of the Lu family, Xiao Tingyun's uncle, did not come.
Lu Junxiao's wife is the only daughter of the Lin family on Canglang Star, and the Lin family is also the second largest family on Canglang Star after the Lu family. The news that the eldest son of Lu and the only daughter of the Lin family were together caused quite a stir, and everyone was concerned. It is thought that this couple can be together because of family marriage, but only those who really know the details know that these two can be together because of free love, and it was only the eldest son of the Lu family who pursued them for three years in vain. The one who embraces the beautiful woman.
Although nowadays, whenever Lu Junxiao is mentioned, anyone will whisper in private that he is a living king of hell. However, Lu Junxiao, who is an inhumane living king of hell to outsiders, is actually a well-known wife slave on Canglang Star.
For decades, she had cherished her wife like jewels in her heart. Therefore, even when Mrs. Lu reached an age where her son could marry and have children, she was still as charming and charming as a 28-year-old girl.
Lu Junxiao dotes on his wife to the top of his heart, but Mrs. Lu will always dote on her nephew Xiao Tingyun.
No, as soon as she got off the starship, and there was still a long distance away, Madam Lu caught a glimpse of Xiao Tingyun waiting there. Madam Lu instantly let go of her husband's hand, and then shouted The darling, he opened his arms and rushed towards Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun was embraced by Mrs. Lu with a smile on her face. She raised her hands to protect her side and said with a smile: "Auntie." But she raised her eyes and looked at the person who was walking towards her, but her face was expressionless. Some green and black uncle.
Mrs. Lu had no idea that her husband behind her had turned black with soreness. She held Xiao Tingyun tightly, raised her head and looked at him carefully for a moment, then glared at him with red eyes, as if angry or annoyed, and even cursed. They were all as warm and soft as water, "You heartless little bastard, you still know that I am your aunt? Tell yourself how many years have it been since you came to see your aunt? I used to love you in vain."
Mrs. Lu has a special skill, which is to shed tears when she sheds tears. However, no man in the Lu family can bear her tears. Although Xiao Tingyun is not a man in the Lu family, he can't bear it either, so After seeing the moisture that had gathered in Mrs. Lu's eyes, she immediately apologized and said, "Auntie, I was wrong. When you come to the Imperial City this time, you might as well stay here and not leave, so that you can see me every day. I can also eat the food you cook every day.”
As soon as Xiao Tingyun said this, Mrs. Lu had no reaction, but Lu Junxiao, who came over, glared at him fiercely, his eyes full of the threat of 'You better be joking'.
Mrs. Lu burst out laughing. After letting go of Xiao Tingyun, she reluctantly held his arm, and then slapped him on the arm a few times in a dumbfounded way. However, the force of the slaps was probably not enough to kill a mosquito. . …
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can your aunt stay at your nephew's house and never leave?"
Xiao Tingyun said with a smile: "Why not?" He deliberately glanced at his uncle, and then said: "I said yes. If you are tired of living in my prince's mansion, you can still change to the palace. If you go and live there, I will clean up a special palace for you, aunt, just for you to live in."
Although Mrs. Lu was coaxing herself, Xiao Tingyun also understood that what her nephew said was true. She was so coaxed that she smiled happily and asked, "I have been living here with you, what about your uncle?"
Xiao Tingyun glanced at his uncle, whose face was getting darker and darker, and said deliberately: "Then it depends on how important you are to uncle. If uncle really can't let you go, he will definitely stay with you. How long will you stay? , he will stay with you as long as you want."
The corner of Lu Junxiao's mouth twitched fiercely, and this time he glared at Xiao Tingyun like a knife.
Mrs. Lu burst out laughing, and while she was having fun, she lightly hit Xiao Tingyun a few times, "You bad guy, you know that the Canglang Army can't live without your uncle, but you still said that on purpose."
Xiao Tingyun did not deny it, and smiled with his lips pursed.
Seeing his wife holding her nephew and standing here talking for eternity, Lu Junxiao coughed twice and reminded: "Go back first and then talk. Don't forget that everything you prepared is still there." It’s in the box.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu slapped her forehead and said with an ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there, let's go back first. Your uncle and I have prepared gifts for you, as well as your grandfather's and younger uncle's. Let's also come with them. Brought it."
Xiao Tingyun nodded, helped Mrs. Lu, turned around, and asked worriedly: "Grandpa's body."
The smile on Mrs. Lu's face faded a little, and she sighed slightly, and said: "The old man was really angry this time. His body is actually fine, but his mind has collapsed. You don't have to worry too much. The doctor said, old man This is a mental illness, and as long as he has a good life and takes care of it, he can recover by relaxing the depression in his heart."
Xiao Tingyun nodded and said nothing, and Mrs. Lu also stopped speaking.
They all know what the old man of the Lu family is worried about. If he wants to get better, he can only figure it out on his own.
On the way back, the atmosphere was a bit dull.
It wasn't until she arrived at the Prince's Mansion that Madam Lu seemed to relax. She squinted her eyes and looked at the Prince's Mansion, then smiled at Xiao Tingyun who came to help her: "Your mansion is quite good, I can see that you take good care of it. of."
Xiao Tingyun also smiled when he heard this: "It's all the steward's credit."
"Uncle Qian? He is always good at taking care of things. When you took him out of the palace alone, I never worried because I knew that with Uncle Qian here, he would definitely be able to take good care of you. "
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I haven't been with Uncle Qian for many years. I don't know how good his health is now."
"Okay." Xiao Tingyun supported her and walked slowly towards the main building, "You will know when you see him later."
However, just as he was talking, the old butler came out of the main building, carrying a bucket and fishing rod in his hands.
Mrs. Lu immediately became happy when she saw what the housekeeper was holding: "Uncle Qian is going fishing?"...
The old butler in front of the main building heard the sound and looked over. When he saw Xiao Tingyun and his party, he was stunned. Then he quickly put down the things in his hands and walked towards them quickly. The smile on the old face was hard to hide. live.
"Madam." The old housekeeper smiled and saluted Mrs. Lu. He looked at Mrs. Lu carefully and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, but Madam still looks like such a little girl."
Mrs. Lu immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Qian, you are still as good at talking as before."
The old housekeeper smiled, looked at Lu Junxiao who was following them, and saluted: "General Lu."
Lu Junxiao nodded, but looked at the bucket and fishing rod placed by the butler at the door, and asked, "Is the butler going fishing?"
The old housekeeper smiled when he heard this, "No, it was the young lady who took Mr. Lu to the back to go fishing, but the eldest son also followed. This is a gift for the eldest son."
Lu Junxiao's eyebrows were raised high, "The eldest and second child in my family?"
Before the old housekeeper could speak again, Mrs. Lu immediately caught the point and asked, "Miss? Which lady?"
The old housekeeper glanced at Xiao Tingyun and saw that His Royal Highness always had a gentle smile on his face. He said truthfully: "It's Miss Long."
Mrs. Lu's eyes suddenly lit up astonishingly, and she said happily: "Is it the one from the Long family? Our prince's fiancée?"
The old housekeeper said with a smile: "That's the one."
Mrs. Lu suddenly cheered and slapped Xiao Tingyun again, "You bastard, why didn't you say anything before?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and glanced at Lu Junxiao, and said in a surprised tone: "I thought my uncle told you, so I didn't say it. It turns out"
Lu Junxiao's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and before he could explain, he saw Mrs. Lu glare over instantly, her voice was obviously gentle and soft, but it brought out a bluffing energy, "You know? You knew but didn’t tell me?”
General Lu, who looked like a living king of hell in front of outsiders, suddenly changed his face, and immediately explained in a low voice: "I forgot." However, this "forgot" could not coax Mrs. Lu, and he immediately added: "You You know, except for your things, I can never remember other people’s things.”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu, who had been pretending to be fierce just now, suddenly softened, with a blush on her face.
Xiao Tingyun felt a bit toothache when he saw it. His uncle and aunt were already an old couple, but they were still so sticky.
The shy Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Junxiao again, and then said to Xiao Tingyun with some embarrassment: "I didn't even prepare a gift for that little girl. It's our first time meeting you. What do you think? You guys?" Can’t the nephews and uncles be reliable for once?”
The unreliable uncle remained silent.
The unreliable nephew smiled and said, "She doesn't care about this."
Mrs. Lu glared at him dissatisfied, "Young lady, you don't have to care, but as an elder, I have to make preparations, otherwise people who don't know will think that we don't want to see her." As she said that, she wanted to pull Lu Junxiao away. He turned around and went out again, "It's not too late now that you know. Your uncle and I will go pick out gifts first. Zingyun, you go back first with our salutes."
When Xiao Tingyun saw this, he quickly stopped her and said, "Aunt, it's really not necessary. She doesn't care about these things, she really doesn't care. If you really care, why not cook her something delicious after she has had enough rest? , that’s what she likes.”…
Mrs. Lu looked at him hesitantly after hearing this, "Little girl, do you like to eat?"
Xiao Tingyun nodded, "I like it very much."
Mrs. Lu looked at the old housekeeper suspiciously, and the old housekeeper nodded, "It's true."
But the old housekeeper didn't say a word. Not only did the young lady like to eat, she was also very good at it.
After receiving the old housekeeper's affirmation, Mrs. Lu believed it and nodded: "Okay, I can't do anything else, but my cooking skills are very good, as long as the little girl can speak it. I can make all the food.”
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said: "Then she must be very happy."
Mrs. Lu glanced at him, "Are you happy too?"
This is a bit of a double entendre.
Madam Lu has been able to pamper Xiao Tingyun, her nephew, for so many years. She has a deep understanding of Xiao Tingyun. She can allow her nephew to bring people back to the Prince's Mansion, and when it comes to the little girl His eyes became gentle, which must have put the person on the top of his heart.
Xiao Tingyun did not deny it, but nodded and admitted it with a smile.
Mrs. Lu looked at him happily and gratified, and said: "This is the first time I see you caring so much about a girl. It's good that you care about a girl. I feel relieved. I've been worried about you for so many years. I'm worried about you." Can you live well alone? I worry about whether you will get hurt when you go to Xingyun Military Academy. I worry about you, a child who seems to be gentle and gentle to others, but in fact it is not easy to open up to others. Although you have a fiancée who has been engaged since childhood, you have always been It’s a nonchalant attitude.”
After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, the smile on Xiao Tingyun's face gradually faded, but his eyes were extremely gentle. Although he was not lucky enough to have a good mother, he did have a good aunt.
The aunt took over the role of mother and gave Xiao Tingyun the maternal love that he had been missing since he was eight years old.
Mrs. Lu looked at the gentle look in Xiao Tingyun's eyes, she smiled, and used her feet to rub his head, "You've grown so big in a blink of an eye, and now if you want to rub it, I have to use my feet to barely reach it. "After that, she rubbed her hand twice more before taking back her hand, and said with emotion: "My little Tingyun is out of my sight, and he has grown up to be able to marry a wife and have children. It's great!"
Xiao Tingyun looked at her seriously and said with a smile, "It would be really nice to have you as my aunt."
