The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 194
"Hmph, that's about the same."

Xiaomi wrinkled her nose, and then became mischievous again, pestering her brother and asking, "Brother, what kind of girl do you like? Gentle, delicate, or dignified?"

Now it was Lu Qian's turn to blush, not to mention that he hadn't thought about this issue at all, even if he had thought about it, he couldn't talk to his younger sister.

"Ahem, father decides this matter, I never thought about it."

He hurriedly pulled his father out to act as a shield, but Xiaomi was not so easy to fool, and began to make comments with his fingers, "Brother is too honest, and the sister-in-law he married is shrewd and sensible, which is the most suitable. Second brother... hey, It would be good for him not to marry a female bandit and go home. But you have to choose carefully, you will be an official in the future. Have you never heard that saying, behind a good official, there must be a virtuous wife. You just Look for a virtuous and generous person this week!"

Lu Qian couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and rubbed the top of the girl's hair, "Where did you hear these strange words? Who said that the wives of officials should be virtuous and generous, and there are many of them who are good-looking."

"That's someone else. My elder brother is talented and has a bright future. He always wants to match the best woman in the world. I have prepared the dowry money for your marriage with the second elder brother. I will wait for you to come back after marrying a good wife. You must take care of it." Ah, you can't just give your daughter to anyone, and you agree. Do you know?"

Xiaomi proudly raised her chin, with the attitude of a mother-in-law picking on her daughter-in-law, which made Lu Qian's heart warm and distressed with a smile.

If the mother is still there, there is no need for the younger sister to bother to think about these things.

"Xiaomi, we and dad...you have worked hard to take care of me. Without you, this family would have been dilapidated long ago. How could it be so prosperous today?"

Xiaomi originally wanted to ask the old dean if there was any unmarried girl, but with the old dean's personality, the girl must be talented and virtuous, and it would be best to be a wife to the Lu family.

But seeing the sadness in the third brother's expression, he guessed that he thought of his deceased mother, so he quickly responded with a smile, "What did the third brother say, this is my home too, I am not making money for you and daddy, I It’s for myself. I want to wear beautiful dresses, jewelry, and the best meals, and I don’t have money for any of them.”

"Okay, it's best for you to be like this. After the third brother becomes an official, you can just coax yourself to live a good life. These things, the third brother will help you."

"Okay, I will be happy in the future. If I have a job, I will go to my eldest brother. If anyone doesn't like me, I will find my second brother to fight. If there are bad people who bully me, I will ask my third brother to throw him into prison. If it doesn't work, And daddy, reading books also kills the bad guys."

Xiaomi was shaking her two pigtails, her smiling eyes were as big as crescent moons.

Lu Qian was teased by the girl and laughed loudly, and replied, "Okay, we and Dad will support you!"

Xiaomi casually took out two potatoes that had been buried earlier from the stove, and they were roasted just right, so the brother and sister broke them apart and ate them while they were still hot, while continuing their rare heart-to-heart conversation.

"Brother, you said that our father reads all day long, so it stands to reason that he should also read the books of sages and sages. Why did he buy medicine classics and history books? I wanted to read the two books that Uncle Yang brought along earlier. As soon as I opened my mouth, I was kicked out by my father."

Lu Qian knew a little bit about this, so he said, "My mother died of illness, and my father was very sad, so I switched to medical books."

Xiaomi blinked her eyes twice, feeling very moved by her father's affection, but she still had doubts, "In this case, mother has been dead for so long, and no matter how many medical books my father reads, he can't save mother. How could he still The endless research day and night has exhausted the body."

After all, Lu Qian is a man, and his mind is not as delicate as that of a woman. His original impression was broken by his sister, so he was stunned.

That's right, my mother has been dead for more than a year. No matter how good my father's medical skills are, even if he becomes an imperial doctor, he can't bring him back to life.Could it be...

He raised his brows suddenly, as if someone had grabbed his heart instantly, and subconsciously looked at his sister.

Xiaomi was peeling the skin of baked potatoes, her green onion-like fingers were slightly reddened by the heat, and her fair face was stained with black ash, she was very cute...

"Sister, you..."

"Xiaomi, third child, come in!"

At some point, Father Lu stood at the door of the main room to call, and Lu Qian and Xiaomi rushed out to greet him.

Father Lu didn't know why, but there was joy in his eyes, and he ordered, "Someone go down the mountain to call your eldest brother, sister-in-law, and your second brother, and call them back too. I have something to say!"

Both Lu Qian and Xiaomi were confused, but it was rare for their father to look like this, so they quickly got busy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the boss Lu and his wife from Shengfuju, as well as the playful second child Lu, all rushed back.

Lu's second son had a straight temper. He went into the house to salute Mrs. Tie, and then asked his father, "Father, I am wrestling with Daku and the others, and I am about to win. If there is anything at home, just tell Xiaomi." ,I…"

"Shut up and go away!"

Father Lu's face turned pale, and he pushed away his son, who was as thick as a vine, and finally looked at his children standing in the middle of the main room with their hands down, with a look of sadness in his eyes.Finally, he called Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, come forward and kneel down!"

Xiaomi was taken aback, not understanding why he had to kneel down.

Boss Lu was the most honest and honest, he was afraid that his sister would get into trouble and offend his father, so he begged for mercy, but Chen Yuexian pulled his sleeves away.

Chen Yuexian was shrewd and winked. After all, there were more Mrs. Tie's masters and servants in the house. Even if the father-in-law was angry at how bad his sister was, he would not reprimand her in front of outsiders.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiaomi knelt down, Father Lu invited Mrs. Tie to take the main seat.Finally, he said in front of everyone, "Xiaomi, your mother passed away early, and your three older brothers have grown up, so I don't worry about it anymore. Only you, no one to teach, father is afraid that you will suffer in the future. Today, Mrs. Tie Speaking of which, father has already agreed to accept you as a foster daughter. You... kowtow to salute!"

Adopted daughter?

The three brothers and sisters of the Lu family, as well as Chen Yuexian, were all stunned when they heard this. Father Lu's affection for his deceased mother, the Bai family, was truly unwavering.Many people know why the tomb on the mountain is a tomb and what is in the blue and white jar in the back room.

But now he actually asks Xiaomi to recognize another woman as his mother, that is to say, give half of Bai's beloved daughter to someone else. This is simply impossible...

The three brothers of the Lu family looked at each other, and were about to ask questions, but Father Lu had already urged, "What are you waiting for, Xiaomi, don't kowtow!"

Xiaomi didn't think too much about it, for one thing, her soul was no longer the original Xiaomi, and Dai Bai didn't have the sense of belonging that was integrated into her flesh and blood.Secondly, Mrs. Tie has taught her carefully these days, and she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, which really makes her close and admire her.Originally, she wanted to tell Father Lu that she would recognize Mrs. Tie as a lady, and she would take care of Mrs. Tie more when she could take care of her as a disciple.After all, Mrs. Tie is living outside like this, unlike her prominent and happy life at home.It is not a burden for her to be filial to an elder.

I don't want to, but now my father actually asked her to recognize her stepmother, but he is not much different from Mr., so he hesitated for a moment, and said seriously, "By the stepmother, please accept my daughter's three respects."

After all, she kowtowed three times respectfully.

Mrs. Tie's expression was very excited, her cheeks that seldom even smiled trembled slightly, and tears were shining in her eyes, as if sorrow and joy were mixed to the extreme.

She slowly took out a jade tablet with intricate carvings from her bosom, and handed it to Xiaomi.

Xiaomi quickly took it with both hands, the jade plaque was suet white jade, Xu put it in Mrs. Tie's arms for a long time, with warmth.The lines on the jade plate were something Xiaomi had never seen before, and the simplicity brought a sense of desolation.There are two small characters carved in seal in the middle of the jade plate, which vaguely seem to be "Kang Ning".The red string wearing the jade badge is very old, in stark contrast to the shiny luster of the jade badge.

"Back then, when my late husband heard that I was pregnant, he searched for jade and asked a master in southern Xinjiang to carve this jade tablet, wishing the child a healthy and peaceful life. I don't want to... In July, the child I didn’t keep it, it’s a daughter.”

When Mrs. Tie brought up the past, tears finally flowed out, and she was so choked that she couldn't continue.

Xiaomi was heartbroken when he heard that, no wonder Mrs. Tie's expression was always full of grief, it turned out to be the pain of losing her daughter.

She got up quickly, pulled off the handkerchief and handed it over.

Mrs. Tie shook Xiaomi's hand, without wiping away her tears, she said earnestly, "From now on, you will be my daughter. As long as I'm with you, no one will be able to bully you. I will never let you suffer like I did before." suffering."

This sounds a bit weird, but Xiaomi didn't have time to ask, so he could only persuade, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I'm hot and no one can bully me. Besides, I still have you, and my father, brother and sister-in-law Well!"

Mrs. Tie looked at the father and son of the Lu family, father Lu didn't know what he was thinking, and was already distracted, but the three brothers of the Lu family looked very reluctant, as if they had been robbed of their sister.

She couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and it was just like what Xiaomi said, with three older brothers, and now that she was added, Xiaomi would never be like her poor daughter.But there was one thing she had to say.

"Okay, since you recognize me as a foster mother, there is one thing, you must listen to me."

"Ah, what's the matter?" Xiaomi was very curious, and hurriedly responded, "If you have something to do, just tell me, I will obey."

Mrs. Tie nodded, thought about her words, and then said, "I shouldn't interfere with your marriage. After all, you have your father and brother and sister-in-law. Be a concubine!"

Concubine?

Xiaomi was stunned, and finally shook his head again and again.

She didn't want Mrs. Tie to see her like this, thinking that she would not be obedient, and said anxiously, "No matter how good the eldest son of the Chen family is, he has already married a wife and had children. How can you be inferior to others?"

Chen's parents and sons?

This time, not only Xiaomi, but also Chen Yuexian's feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.She only went out for a few months, when will my sister-in-law and elder brother...

Boss Chen was able to stuff a potato into his mouth, but Second Chen was stunned and threw out a sentence, "No, Xiaomi likes Brother Feng. Why did you change to Brother Chen?"

At this moment, Father Lu also took back his soul, but his mind became a mess after being confused by "Brother Chen" and "Brother Feng".
