Seeing Lu Jianyu again, she was dressed in light gauze and soft clothes, stroking her lips and smiling, and her movements made her look like she could be a model for the daughter of the royal capital.
"Sister, I'm really happy that you and I can get together in the royal capital."
Lu Anran's arm was held by Lu Jianyu, and she looked at her smiling happily, with a look of joy on her face. From the corner of her eye, she caught the occasional glances from several young ladies not far away.
If I remember correctly, Lu Jianyu had a very pleasant conversation with those ladies just now, and he understood where her pretense of closeness came from.
No matter when and where, Lu Jianyu can freely change into the way the other person likes, either coquettish and coquettish, or innocent, sometimes cute, sometimes playful.
This often makes Lu Anran admire her.
Lu Anran stopped and turned sideways, pretending to avoid Lu Jianyu's hand inadvertently, "Have not yet congratulated my second sister on getting admitted to Chengjun Academy. My father said that there are many great scholars of the time in Chengjun Academy. If you are interested in learning, it is always good." of."
Lu Jianyu lowered her head to wipe the corner of her mouth, jealousy flashed in her eyes, then raised her head and said happily: "What the eldest sister said is that thanks to my uncle's unremitting efforts, my sister can get her wish." Before leaving, her grandmother warned many times that people in the capital are complex, and I'm afraid that I couldn't handle it, so I just said it directly, isn't the big sister in the royal capital, and the big sister takes care of everything."
Her playful words, pursed lips and winks all revealed the image of a charming and innocent little girl, as if she was really trying to please her eldest sister.
Lu Anran didn't answer her words and said, "How are they doing, grandma?"
"Everything else is fine. My eldest uncle is living more and more in seclusion. Only my grandmother got sick after the Chinese New Year. It was because she missed my eldest sister spending the Chinese New Year alone, which made her feel uncomfortable." Lu Jianyu said and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we have a few useless grandchildren. Having her granddaughter by her side also relieves my grandmother a lot of worries."
Lu Anran didn't believe a word of the second half of the sentence. Don't worry about her, she was afraid she was sick out of anger.
Instead, my father...
Thinking of Lu Xun, Lu Anran's eyes turned gray.
His father lived alone and had few friends, which made the entire Lu family keep a low profile in Mengzhou. There were rumors that Lu Xun was mediocre, and the so-called Mengdu capital was no longer worthy of its name.
After she left, my father felt even more lonely.
"big sister?"
Lu Anran blinked, hiding the complicated things in his heart, and said, "What did you say?"
"My sister wants to say that this spring banquet is not my sister's intention to stir up trouble in the capital city. However, my grandmother said that given the status of our Lu family in Mengzhou, we should not let the families in the capital city look down on our sisters."
The two of them walked to a tree and stood there. Lu Jianyu smiled and said, "Grandma also said that with my eldest sister's temperament, she would be the most impatient with banquets, so I asked my younger sister to do it for me. But how can I dare to go past you, eldest sister? , and finally I asked my grandmother to slap her palms a few times, and then I remembered the incident through the pain."
Lu Anran looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
"After beating my grandma, you asked me how I felt?" Lu Jianyu stretched out her slender jade fingers, which were as white and tender as onions. "Sister, look, blood is connected. Broken bones are connected to tendons. There is no need for us sisters to divide you. I."
Hearing this, Lu Anran probably understood Lu Jianyu's intention for this meeting.
"That's what I told my grandmother at the time. My grandmother said, I hope that we two sisters can take care of each other in the king's court and not make people laugh, lest others think that the two Lu sisters are having a quarrel and lose the Lu family's face. "
The words here are only half true and half false. The old mistress of the Lu family values face, so there is nothing she can do without forcing Lu Jianyu. It is just Lu Jianyu trying to put money on her face.
"Since the mistress asks you to do it, you can continue." Lu Anran said calmly.
Lu Jianyu patted her chest as if she was relieved, "Oh, I was worried about this all the way, just because I was afraid that my eldest sister would be unhappy when she found out about it. You know your eldest sister, your courage is as thin as a needle, and you don't want to take any risks. I started out, now I'm fine, I finally have something to worry about."
Lu Anran said calmly: "The tip of a needle is thin, and it can still poke people's hearts."
Lu Jianyu pretended not to understand and blinked: "Sister..."
Lu Anran said: "I have accepted the Spring Banquet post."
After the matter was finished, Lu Jianyu didn't want to continue playing the role of sisterly love, and said with a sweet smile: "Eldest sister is not allowed to get into trouble with me. On the day of the Spring Banquet, everyone pointed to eldest sister to help me."
Lu Jianyu left with satisfaction and met up with a group of young ladies. After a while, they were holding hands with each other and laughing together.
Lu Anran looked there for a while and said to Chunmiao, "Go back."
Chunmiao secretly rolled her eyes three times, with a look of annoyance on her face, "Miss, you really want to save the second lady's face."
"Lu Jianyu said something right." Lu Anran said calmly: "Our surname is Lu."
She originally didn't plan to go to the Spring Banquet, not because of jealousy or anything like that, but because she didn't really like such an occasion. But since she was talking about this and was pressuring Lu, she couldn't help it.
If she doesn't go, it's because she doesn't know the current affairs, causes discord among sisters, and makes people laugh.
"Why don't you, Miss, write a family letter to the Master? If we really want to hold a spring banquet, it's your turn to come." After all, it was Lu Xun who made the final decision. At that time, the old lady would not be able to say anything.
Lu Anran refused, "It's not necessary."
In terms of looking down on fame and fame, Lu Anran closely resembles Lu Xun's character.

On the way back to Daoxiangzhai, Lu Anran liked this dim sum very much, especially because the bite was sweet but not greasy, and the candied fruit was sour and appetizing, so he waited at the entrance of the street and asked Chun Miao to weigh half a catty each and take it back.
When Chun Miao's left and right hands were full, he looked out onto the street and saw that the lady was gone?
At the beginning, Chunmiao thought that she was an adult and could not get lost. She might see something new and move away temporarily.
After searching around, exhausted and sweating profusely, but still unable to find anyone, Chunmiao gradually began to panic.
"It's over! I heard a few days ago that there are people kidnapping women and children nearby. Could it be that Miss..."
Chun Miao was so anxious that she almost shed tears when she heard a kind-hearted person next to her say: "Has your child been lost? Why don't you go home and have a look first? Maybe you can run back by yourself."
yes! The young lady is impatient to wait for her, maybe she will go back.
Chunmiao was also furious, but she never thought that Lu Anran had never been like this.
—
When Lu Anran had his head covered with a sack, a thought flashed through his mind: Chun Miao would cry if she couldn't find him later.
Facts have proved that Lu Anran still knows his little girl very well.
She was jumped up and down for a while, counting silently for about a stick of incense before stopping somewhere. The sack was suddenly opened, and the light was so bright that she squinted her eyes before she gradually got used to it.
As soon as he saw it clearly, he stared straight into a pair of big, dark, round eyes, fluttering, black and white, as if they were pure and innocent, but there was a deep cunning hidden in the depths.
"Sister, we meet again, are you happy?"
For the second time in one day, Lu Anran was being chased and called "big sister", each one becoming more difficult than the last, and Lu Anran couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Aren't you in jail?"
"Hehehe——" The round-faced girl stepped back, holding her face in her hands and tilting her head, "I escaped from prison, isn't it awesome?"
At this moment, Lu Anran deeply understood that Yun Qi's words of gloating over misfortune were just a headache for Su Ji.
The girl jumped and sat on the well mouth next to her, shaking her legs and saying: "It was the eldest sister who brought people to arrest me. When I was locked up, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. Then I ran out and arrested you. Let you Be angry for a while, okay?"
The girl's tone of voice is particularly playful, and coupled with her innocent appearance that deceives the world, if you ignore what she does, it will not make people feel bad at all.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Anran would not think that the girl was so innocent.
Lu Taotao's eyes rolled cunningly, "We haven't arrived yet, let's play in the water first, okay?" He clapped his little hand, "What a good idea."
Who else?
Lu Anran only had time to have a thought slip through his mind before he was pushed hard from behind and he fell headlong towards the mouth of the well.
'Plop -' Her head hit the water. In an instant, the water invaded her facial features fiercely, making her dizzy.
Immediately afterwards, there was a 'crash', the rope on his body tightened, and he was pulled upwards.
Lu Anran opened her mouth and inhaled. The air entered her lungs, and her chest ached slightly. She raised her head and looked at the mouth of the well. The girl's round face was smiling, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
"Big sister, is it fun?"
Lu Taotao's temperament was unstable. Lu Anran couldn't deduce it with common sense and honestly shook his head: "It's not fun."
"That's it..." Lu Taotao seemed to have some regret and trouble on his face, "Then forget it."
Lu Anran exhaled, and at the same time his heart tightened, wondering what other tricks the girl had up his sleeve.
Fortunately, someone came at this time and interrupted Lu Taotao's strange thoughts.
The bad thing is...
The person who came happened to have a grudge against Lu Anran.
The brocade mask was still on Lu Anran's face, soaked with water, and it was even closer to his face. His eyes were wet, as dark and clear as a cold spring.
The wind blew in from the back of my neck, and I shivered all over, "Princess Ding'an."
The person who came was none other than Sang Yan, the princess of Ding'an County, who was dressed in purple. Her pretty face could not hide the sharp look on her eyebrows, "Do you think that with the slightest favor from the emperor's uncle, this princess can't do anything to you? He sneered and his voice turned cold, "First gouge out her eyes. This princess will look disgusting."
Lu Taotao stopped in front, put his hands on his hips and raised his chin, "This method of yours is not fun, try another one."
A hint of impatience flashed in Princess Ding'an's eyes, "I won't kill her, it's enough for you to play with."
"But you're going to gouge her eyes out, how can I play with her?" Lu Taotao thought for a moment and clapped her hands: "Ah, why don't we make three cuts on her left face first, then three more cuts on her right face, and one more Is the tabby cat okay?"
If she hadn't used the people in her hands and feared that it would be inconvenient to get away after the investigation, Princess Ding'an would not have bothered to deal with this stinky girl who was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.
"Okay." Anyway, it was not up to her to decide whether to break his limbs or gouge out his eyes when one of her own came close.
As she spoke, Princess Ding'an glanced at her guard.
Lu Taotao tilted his head in front of Lu Anran, "You must look good with your face covered, and it will be even more beautiful if I paint you as a tabby cat." He grabbed the masking cloth and pulled it, and his eyes suddenly widened.
