Chapter 145 Family Love (2)
Hearing what their father said, although the two sisters regretted not being able to stay at home for too long this time, they could only respond: "That's the case, but according to the old lady and father's orders."

Mrs. Lu nodded in satisfaction, and asked Shuangrui to get a pair of red gold long-life locks weighing nine taels and nine, and said with a smile: "I gave this to your little brother, you take it back to him , can be regarded as a little bit of my heart as an uncle and grandmother."

The two sisters thanked Mrs. Lu hurriedly, seeing that Mrs. Lu was still tired after resting all afternoon, so she resigned from Mrs. Lu and returned to Kongcui Pavilion.

Early the next morning, the two sisters boarded the carriage home. Lu Mingxuan hadn't slept well last night, but now that the carriage was shaking, she couldn't help feeling sleepy and leaned against Danqing to doze off. Lu Mingfu But he was in a very good spirit, and he couldn't stop talking along the way: "I don't know if my little brother looks like you or me? Logically, we are his biological sister, so he should be somewhat like you and me... Now Daddy finally There is a future, let's see if those wicked people in the family dare to come to our house to speak nonsense... Although it was not born by my mother and your mother, it is always my father's son. Yes, my mother and your mother can be regarded as people who offer incense..."

Seeing that Lu Mingxuan echoed her a few words at first, but then she didn't answer a single word and just dozed off herself. Lu Mingfu was dissatisfied, she leaned forward and pinched Lu Mingxuan's nose, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at you sleepy!" If it’s like that, didn’t you become a thief last night?”

Lu Mingxuan's nose hurt and she almost burst into tears, so she straightened up and said, "Sister, haven't you heard the saying 'spring sleepy, autumn tired, summer nap', it's summer now, I doze off more, don't you?" As it should be?"

Lu Mingfu curled her lips and said, "I don't know where it sounds so nonsensical... Since you know it's summer, why are you still wearing clothes with high collars, and you're not afraid of getting prickly heat? By the way, I don't think so. , I just remembered the high-necked clothes you wore in the morning and afternoon yesterday, don’t you feel hot?”

Lu Mingxuan wore a bright green six-happiness pattern cross-collar make-up gown today, which was tightly wrapped from the neck up, so it was not hot, but the marks on her neck that were pinched by Ling Mengqi the night before were still very clear. How could she dare to show it, because she smiled and said: "It's natural to be calm and cool, I don't feel hot... By the way, I don't know if my wife's mother has gone home? After we go back, we should kowtow to the old man."

"If she's still there, we should kowtow." Lu Mingfu nodded, "How should we call her? Grandmother or old lady?"

In the end, following Lu Mingxuan's words and changing the topic, Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then secretly became annoyed. The marks on her neck might not disappear in ten days and a half months, and it couldn't last for such a long time. During the time, I wear high-necked clothes every day, right?At that time, I'm afraid that Lu Mingfu will not be the only one who will be suspicious. It seems that after going home, Danqing should find a chance to go out and buy some ointment to apply.

When the carriage arrived at Lu's house, Lu Zhong had already seen Xin'er waiting at the gate, before the carriage stopped, he strode over and said with a smile: "Today is really fast, I thought you would arrive at noon Woolen cloth."

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu saw that their father was wearing a straight gown with the pattern of crows and green balls, and his complexion looked ten years younger. They couldn't help but smile all over their faces, and bowed their knees to salute Lu Zhongxian: "Daddy! "

Helped by Lu Zhongxian one by one, he smiled and said, "Come in, your wife has been talking about you all the time, and now you are finally back."

Lu Mingfu hurriedly asked, "Where's little brother, is he okay? Who does he look like? Does he look like me and my sister?"

Lu Zhongxian said with a smile: "Everyone says he looks like me, but I can't see it at all, but your wife said that he looks like you... You don't know, he opened his eyes only two hours after he was born. Eyes, Mrs. Wen said that other people’s children couldn’t open their eyes for three to five or seven days. They cried so loudly that the roof could be knocked down by him. Your wife’s milk alone is not enough. It’s only enough for him to eat after a nanny comes back, I don’t know how strong the small arms and legs are..."

He talked a lot in a rambling manner, as if he had a son and everything was fulfilled.

Hearing this, Lu Mingfu laughed, and while responding to Lu Zhongxian's words, she still did not forget to show off to Lu Mingxuan: "Did you hear me, I look like me, but don't be depressed, I'm your eldest sister, the first one My younger brother should naturally look like me, and when my wife has a second little brother in the future, he should look like you."

Lu Mingxuan didn't speak, just pursed her lips and smiled, but she had mixed feelings in her heart. She was not her father's biological daughter, so it was impossible for her little brother to look like her, but her father treated her better than her own. She must have accumulated in her previous life. There are many blessings, so God will give her another chance to let her feel the warmth and happiness now.

The three father and daughter chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the main room. Mrs. Qi was wearing a moon-white tunic, with a stone-blue mop on her forehead, and she was leaning on the big pillow at the head of the bed, being served by Xiaotao and eating eggs with distiller's grains As soon as he saw Lu Zhongxian leading the two sisters in, he put down the bowl and said with a smile: "I still saw the two girls during Chinese New Year, but I haven't seen them for a few months, but the two girls have grown into real big girls. Already!"

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu hurriedly bowed their knees to greet her. After the ceremony, they saw that her complexion was a little pale, and she was obviously a little sicker than usual, so they hurriedly asked with concern: "I heard that Madam has suffered a lot this time, but she is better now. ?”

Seeing the question, Mrs. Qi said with a smile: "I've been raising it for a long time, and I'm much better. Don't worry about the two girls." After speaking, she told Xiao Tao, "Go and see if my brother wakes up. If he wakes up, he will wake up." Let the old lady hug him and come over to see the two sisters."

Xiaotao went away in response, and after a while, she led an old woman in her fifties, thin and bitter, but her hair was neatly combed, and her clothes were clean, she was holding a big red woman in her hand. Fu Lu Shou satin swaddle.

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu knew that the old woman was Qi's mother. Although they wanted to see the younger brother immediately, they still held back and bowed their knees to salute Qi's mother: "I have seen my mother. I am tired these days." My mother takes care of my wife and little brother, and we sisters are very grateful."

Qi's mother had already heard from her daughter that the two stepdaughters were extraordinary, and Rao was already mentally prepared, but was still shocked by the two sisters' full-bodied demeanor. He smiled and said: "It was what I should do, I can't afford the gratitude of the two girls." As he spoke, he handed the child to Xiaotao, and took off a pair of silver bracelets on his wrists. The two sisters gave one to each, blushing and said : "I don't have any good things, even if there are two girls, they may not be able to see it. Please don't despise the vulgarity of the two girls, and just use it to entertain others."
