Chapter 135 Fighting
"What's wrong with me, you old bitch." Lu Rong made a face, pushed hard with both hands, pulled Jin He and ran away.
Fortunately, no one noticed the commotion here.
"Mother, I want to go back." Lu Rong threw herself into Zhang's arms and said flatteringly.
Zhang looked at Jin He and asked, "What's going on?"
"Mother, I had a fight with that aunt from the Lu family." Lu Rong took the initiative to confess, and looked at her mother's face guiltily as she spoke.
After hearing what happened, Zhang was not particularly angry. "I beat her, so be it. If she dares to come, I will have my own way to deal with her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was lifted.
Mrs. Si had an unhappy look on her face, and behind her followed her crying daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, looking as if she was ready to call someone to account.
Zhang neither stood up nor asked for tea. "How are you, Madam Si?"
"Oh, I'm so worried about these evildoers at home." Mrs. Si sat down.
"Oh, what happened?" Zhang pretended to be clueless and asked curiously.
"Just now, my daughter-in-law went out for a while and came back to say that she was beaten." After saying this, she showed the golden hairpin in her hand to everyone, "Look, this good hairpin is bent."
Zhang exclaimed softly, "This gilded copper hairpin is the best value for money. Its biggest advantage is that it is very hard and won't deform easily."
Gilded copper? Mrs. Si covered her mouth and laughed. "Mrs. Zhang, this is my daughter-in-law's dowry. She cherishes it the most. How could it be gilded copper?"
Lu Rong suddenly said, "Madam, it's not just this hairpin, it's also the longevity hairpin on your head."
Zhang coughed lightly and said, "There are several jewelry shops at home. If Mrs. Si doesn't believe it, go back and gently scrape the surface with a dagger a few times, and you will know."
Mrs. Si's face was uncertain. She glanced at Mrs. Lu twice and put on a smile. "Mrs. Zhang, what I said last time, your side——"
Before she could finish, Zhang interrupted her, "Mrs. Si, I'm afraid we'll have to let you down. We just found out about this."
Mrs. Si looked hesitant. "Is there something else going on?"
"Mrs. Si, you might as well go back and ask other people." Zhang said vaguely.
After finally getting rid of the person, Zhang rubbed her forehead tiredly and said, "Forget it. Today has been a rough day. It's better to go home."
Halfway through the journey, I met Lu Yun who had just returned from the shop.
Lu Yun climbed into Zhang's carriage and said, "My family has moved to a new house, and I haven't been to see it yet."
Lu Rong happily hugged her sister and said, "My brother complained to me the other day that he hadn't seen me for a long time because he had to go to school. It's a good thing you don't leave tonight. Just stay at home and spend the night."
Lu Yun thought about it and agreed since there was nothing to do at the farm or in the Taoist temple.
The shop owner didn't dare to touch the wooden box. He put it away personally and sent a message out.
In the evening, Zhang couldn't resist the three little girls' nagging, so she had the banquet brought to the pavilion and prepared a pot of wine. She told the maids to take good care of it and left this place for the sisters.
Tonight the moon is high and the stars are sparse, and a warm breeze caresses my face. Several palace lanterns are lit in the pavilion, and an incense burner is placed in the middle.
Lu Hui was even happier than the two sisters. He stood up, took the wine jug and filled them up for everyone. He raised his glass high and said with great enthusiasm, "Tonight is a good night, let's have a drink first."
A boy of fifteen or sixteen is like a newborn tree in spring, full of vigor and vitality.
Lu Yun took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After eating and drinking, the table was a mess.
Lu Hui held the wine jug, looking slightly tipsy. "Sister, please stay and don't leave, okay?"
Lu Rong reached out and patted her brother's shoulder. "What nonsense are you talking about? You must be drunk."
Lu Yun shook her increasingly heavy head, her eyelids drooping. "No, brother, I haven't finished my work yet. I can't leave yet."
The three of them were leaning on their chairs in a crooked manner. Lu Rong suddenly stood up and said, "If you dare to come again, I will beat you until your teeth are left on the ground." She was very angry.
Lu Yun tried hard to regain her mind and thought hard, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Lu Hui held the wine pot in his left hand and the wine glass in his right hand. He filled the glasses in front of the two people and raised the wine pot high towards the moon. "Drink, let's drink together. We won't go home until we are drunk tonight."
The few of them continued to quarrel until the moon was at its highest point before they dispersed.
The maid led the way with a lantern in her hand. Cai He followed behind, carrying her master on her back. She felt the wetness on her shoulder. Cai He called out softly, "Master?"
"Tired, hmm." The person on his back murmured a few times and then fell silent again.
After bringing the person to the room and settling them down, Cai He went to the outer room and lay down in her clothes. Lu Yun had a bizarre dream. In the dream, she was still working in the company, and her father wanted to pick her up halfway through. Suddenly, it turned into ancient times. She was named a princess. The old queen mother was pale and held her tightly, refusing to let go. Nanny Guizhi grinned at her and said, "Let's go together, let's go together."
Waking up from her dream with sweat all over her forehead, her pillow was already soaked. Cai He was worried, "Master, did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I am here."
When Lu Yun regained consciousness, her throat felt so thirsty that it was about to smoke, and her body smelled terrible. "Caihe, I want to take a bath."
I guess the young ladies and masters need water, so it has been prepared in the kitchen long ago.
After climbing out of the tub and drinking a large bowl of warm water, Lu Yun finally felt alive. Cai He held a tray and spread out the clothes for her master to see. "Master, look at the new clothes and a small crown that Madam has made for you."
After putting on the clothes, Lu Yun stood in front of the mirror and looked carefully. "It fits me well."
Cai He smiled and showed the small crown to her master, "When I saw it, I thought it was incredibly beautiful."
The crown is in the shape of a flower bud, becoming gradually transparent from the outside to the inside. In the center is a thumb-sized pearl, and two pearlescent ribbons are decorated below the crown.
"You're here. Your brother and sister haven't woken up yet," Zhang touched Lu Yun's hair lovingly. "Go back after lunch."
"Mother, I have something to do in Xishan, so I'll go back first." Lu Yun shook her head and refused her mother's invitation to keep her for dinner.
Caihe took the package handed to her by Jinhe, and the master and servant got into the carriage.
A headache is inevitable after a hangover. The carriage was bumpy, and Lu Yun leaned uncomfortably against Cai He. Cai He opened the package and took out a dried apricot. "Master, hold this in your mouth to make you feel better."
Lu Yun did as she was told. The dried apricots tasted sour and astringent. She barely suppressed the sour taste in her throat, closed her eyes, and felt drowsy. The surroundings gradually became quiet, leaving only the sound of carriages and horses.
After a while, Lu Yun noticed something strange. She lifted the curtain and looked out. The scenery on both sides of the road was very unfamiliar. It was not the road she usually took.
"What's wrong, Master?" Cai He looked out the window, her face slightly changed, and she protected Lu Yun behind her. Lu Yun could ride a horse but couldn't drive a carriage. She lifted the door curtain. The coachman heard the movement behind him and didn't turn around. He whipped the horse and said, "Gee, gee!"
