Chapter 22
"Second Miss, we are here."
Mo Bing was the first to jump off the carriage, then stretched out his hand to help Lu Songli get down.
Lu Songli looked at the Xu family in front of her. The Xu family had the layout of a small farmyard. The fence about five feet high blocked the sight of most outsiders.
The Lu family really didn't have any idea of marrying a daughter from a high-class family or marrying a wife from a low-class family. Her eldest brother married the daughter of a medicinal materials merchant in a town under the jurisdiction of Chang'an City, and the Xu family's family background was also not high. From this, we can also see that her parents love their children, and it is because of her father's hard work.
The Xu family's hometown is from Yitao Town on the edge of Chang'an. Mr. Xu was handsome when he was young. When he came to Chang'an to buy medicine for his mother, the old man who killed the pig fell in love with him and married his only daughter to him. . With the help of his father-in-law, Mr. Xu settled down in the capital, and then with his support, he entered the government office as a minor official, and was later promoted to the rank of executor. Now that Mr. Xu is old, he has retired from the position of superintendent.
The eldest son of the Xu family inherited Mr. Xu's job and is now also an honorable superintendent. The second son took over his mother's pig-killing business and lived a good life. The third son of the Xu family was also her brother-in-law, and the family had always supported him in his studies. Later, after they got married, he opened a private school with the support of the Xu family and the Lu family.
The three sons are all making money, and the family still has about 20 acres of land in the suburbs that are rented to others for cultivation. The grain brought in every year can basically cover the needs of the whole family, so the days of the Xu family are also counted in their area.
Mo Bing was just about to knock on the door, but he didn't realize that the door was ajar. The people inside probably heard the noise outside, so they opened the door and walked out.
It was the old lady of the Xu family. When she saw them, she quickly greeted them, "His aunt, are you here? Come in quickly!"
Old Mrs. Xu looked like a girl, with a rough outline and strong strength. She opened the door and removed the threshold to make it easier for their carriage to enter.
When Lu Songli arrived at Xu's house, she received a warm welcome.
Today, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, Sister-in-law Xu, Second Sister-in-law Xu and her brother-in-law are all at home. The two sisters-in-law helped Mrs. Xu greet her, and Mr. Xu and her brother-in-law came out of the house to say hello to her.
A group of boy dolls lined up from tallest to shortest. The round-headed children shouted to her in unison, "Hello, aunt~~"
Oh my god, who can stand this long stretch of coquettishness?
Lu Songli quickly took out the candied haws she bought on the road and gave them to the little guys. When she was given the last three-headed little bean sprout, she hesitated. When she saw the child eagerly waiting for the candied haws in her hand to be given to him, she softened her heart and gave him the candied haws, and said, "Just You can eat it by licking it and biting it, but you can’t put the whole thing in your mouth, you know?”
"Okay~"
"Why don't you thank your aunt?"
"Thank you, aunt~"
"Okay, okay, go ahead and play, don't bother your aunt."
After Mrs. Xu welcomed the person into her home, she kept bringing out good things from the house to entertain her.
Lu Songli asked Mo Bing to give the gift prepared by her mother to the old lady of the Xu family.
Mrs. Xu: "My mother-in-law is too polite."
Mr. Xu asked her parents if they were healthy and then went about his business. After Mrs. Xu said hello to Lu Songli, she went to the butcher's shop. Her brother-in-law also wanted to go to the private school for a visit.
After the rest of the crowd left, Mrs. Xu happily held Lu Songli's hand, talked to her affectionately, and kept urging her to eat. '
Lu Songli had no choice but to pick up a piece of rice cake and eat it slowly. She was not actually hungry, but she was a little scared when she saw the old lady eager to feed her herself.
The little girl is pretty, but not too eye-catching. The more Mrs. Xu looks at her, the more she likes her. This kind of appearance is just suitable for their Xu family's family background. If the third daughter-in-law can give birth to such a granddaughter, she can only dream of it. Wake up with a smile.
At this time, a little Douding came in and said, "Grandma, Mom asked me to lead the way for my aunt."
Lu Songli recognized this little guy from her memory as her eldest sister's eldest son, her eldest nephew.
"It's Brother Sheng, okay, you can take your aunt to your mother." Old Mrs. Xu let her go readily.
The enthusiasm of Old Mrs. Xu and Sister-in-law Xu and Sister-in-law Xu were overwhelming. When her eldest sister called, Lu Songli sneaked into her eldest sister's room as if she was running away.
Lu Songli didn't know that after her family's carriage set off for the Xu family, a carriage with the Zhao family's logo engraved in a secret place was waiting at a corner of Huaihua Street for a long time.
"Sister Yu Tan, are you sure we can wait for Lu Songli when we stop here?" Guo Yan poked her head out of the carriage and asked this question several times. It had been a long time, and she was getting impatient.
Zhao Yutan nodded and said with certainty, "This is the only way to go from Chongwen Street to Baodingfang, and it is also the nearest way. She used to take this road." But they waited for a long time, but they never waited for Lu Song pear.
"Cousin, thank you for accompanying me on this trip."
Guo Yan waved her hands in panic, "Cousin, there's no need to thank me specifically."
They might have arrived late, Zhao Yutan suspected. But didn't it mean that she only went out in the afternoon? Could it be that the message was sent wrongly?
"Cousin, the restaurant in front is not bad. Why don't you go there and have something to eat first? If I see someone later, how about someone call you from the front?" Zhao Yutan suggested understandingly.
Guo Yan was moved.
After sending her to the restaurant in front, Zhao Yutan thought for a while and asked someone to go to Baodingfang.
The person who inquired about the information came back and brought her a definite message. At this time, Lu Songli had indeed arrived at Xu's house.
"Miss, are we still waiting?" Hongdou asked.
Zhao Yutan gritted his teeth and said, "Wait!"
Zhao Yutan didn't know that their conversation was watched by people on the second floor of the restaurant diagonally in front of them.
Xu family
Lu Songyun was in confinement, with the door and windows closed for fear that the mother might catch wind. Therefore, when Lu Songli entered, she felt that the room was a bit dark, but she had good eyesight and immediately saw her eldest sister sitting on the bedside wearing a floral turban. Seeing her rosy face and plump figure, Lu Songli knew that she was recovering well after giving birth.
Lu Songyun was holding the baby while breastfeeding, and motioned for her sister to sit over.
Lu Songli sat on a stool near the head of the bed, making it easier for the two of them to talk. After she sat down, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong with you?"
"My mother-in-law is so enthusiastic."
Haha, Lu Songyun was happy when she heard this, and then looked her up and down, "With your little face, you look so in line with my mother-in-law's dream daughter."
Her sister is wearing a cute make-up today, her hair is styled into a bun, and her bangs only reach the tip of her eyebrows. She doesn’t have many jewelry, which is simple but not rude. Coupled with her girlish face with a little baby fat, she looks cute and cute. .
Her mother-in-law has a good color. This color does not differentiate between men and women. As long as she looks good, she will get preferential treatment from her mother-in-law. I heard that after her father-in-law and her mother-in-law got married, in addition to killing pigs every day, her mother-in-law did all the heavy and dirty work in the house. After their three daughters-in-law got married, their mother-in-law also loved them and treated them better than her three sons. All because they are better looking than their husbands.
Lu Songli was amazed when she heard this. This is really the ancient version of me killing pigs to raise you.
