The centuries-old heritage of the Lu family can be seen from the layout of the mansion.
There is no emphasis on ostentation and luxury, everything is exquisite and just right. It has the nobility of being a scholar and the heaviness of being the head of Mengzhou County.
White snow fell on the roof of Lu's house one after another, and soon became covered with a layer of white. A bird landed lightly on the roof, leaving shallow footprints like blooming flowers.
Suddenly there was a sharp shout, and the bird was startled, fluttering its wings and flying, its wings fluttering against the branches, shaking off a piece of cold snow.
In the living room, the charcoal fire was burning strongly, keeping out all the severe cold.
Lu Anran raised her eyebrows slightly and looked through the curtain hat at the old woman sitting alone in the golden nanmu armchair.
The upper body is a wide-sleeved blouse with pine and crane branches intertwined collars, and the lower body is wearing a brown horse-faced skirt embellished with begonias. It is originally low-key and plain, but the dark gold lines on the sleeves and neckline secretly highlight a touch of nobility.
Because the weather was cold, I also put on a pair of lake green armor, which made my skin tone a lot brighter.
Lu Anran lowered her eyes and raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be sarcastic. The old lady always wanted to show her nobleness as a young woman. She disdained ordinary women who were not literate and only knew how to compete with other women in the backyard.
But it can be seen from the hidden gold lines on her that the old lady is also a very vain person at heart. She is not really noble, but she is obviously fake.
"What are you doing in a daze? It's useless for me to say anything now?" Mrs. Lu snorted coldly from her nose.
Lu Anran knelt down without saying a word, with his back straight, as if he was holding a red-tasseled gun on the spot.
Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with displeasure, and her tone was cold and unemotional, "Today is the winter day, where have you been?"
Beginning of Winter, October Festival.
Li means the beginning of construction; winter means the end and the collection of all things.
The water begins to freeze, the surface of the water begins to condense, but it is not yet solid. The ground has begun to freeze, and the earth has become cold, but it has not yet broken down.
In Mengzhou, people eat fast, burn incense, and kill pigs to honor their ancestors on this day. We also need to change into new clothes and celebrate the comings and goings, just like the New Year. The men and women of the common people must also wear fresh clothes to bow to each other, which is called "Winter Worship".
"That's right, An Ran, you are too ignorant. There are many guests here today, and your grandmother still thinks that you are older now, so it is time to meet people, so that you can see each other in advance." Mrs. Lu nodded. A voice came from the side.
Lu Anran could tell without looking that it was the second house owner's mother, her second aunt Yu.
The second roommate of the Lu family covered the corners of his mouth with the silk handkerchief in his hand, and said with a smile to Mrs. Lu: "But don't get angry, mother. When the children grow up, they have their own ideas. They may think that we are gossipy and don't like to listen, so we have to teach them slowly." .”
The conversation changed and he said: "Oh, look at this kid, how he is dressed like this. Why don't you quickly change into a brighter outfit? There will be a dinner party later..."
Lu Anran moved, and the red cloak fluttered open, revealing the plain white dress underneath.
'Bang! '
Mrs. Lu was even angrier than before, "Are you deliberately cursing me to die early?!"
Lu Anran lowered her head and looked at the dress. She didn't like white, and she didn't want to make Mrs. Lu angry to death. However, she picked up a random outfit and put it on in the morning. As long as it was comfortable and convenient to wear, it didn't matter what color it was for her. Pointless.
"Humph! Now that we are all grown up and have our own ideas, you can turn a deaf ear to what grandma said. In a few years, no one will take me seriously." Mrs. Lu was not that angry at first, but she shouted When the second brother said this, he felt more and more that Lu Anran was deliberately going against him.
At this time, in conjunction with the ring, a pretty voice came in, "I don't agree with what my grandmother said."
