Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 425
After Xie Jin ran into a wall in the Lu family, he stayed in the inn for another two days. He also wanted to find a chance to inquire. On the third day, the Lu family sent someone to invite him into the Lu family.
Entering the Lu family again, he was not driven out like he was last time. Instead, he was treated with courtesy, which made Xie Jin fidgety and his hand with the tea cup trembled.
“Little girl, I don’t know what’s the matter with you, Mrs. Lu
The little girl who poured the tea on one side didn’t know it. She only continued the tea for him. “Please sit down for a moment, and my wife will come soon.”
Not long after, Lu Yunkai and song Xintong helped his mother to the front hall.
When Xie Jin saw Lu’s mother, he stood up. He was stunned. He was so much alike. This was clearly the appearance of a little aunt.
Xie Jin was so excited that he pointed to Lu Mu with trembling fingers, “you… You are…”
Mother Lu nodded.
“Too much, too much…” Xie Jin looked at Lu’s mother excitedly, “you look very much like my little aunt.”
When his little aunt died, Xie Jin was already in his teens. He was very impressed with her, so he felt like her at the first sight when he saw her. Looking at her in such a positive way, he felt even more like her.
Lu’s mother said with both hands: “I’m really like my mother?” When she was in Zhangjia, she did hear that she was very similar to her dead mother, but she had never met her mother, so she did not dare to believe it.
Xie Jin didn’t quite understand Lu Mu’s gestures, nor why she didn’t speak?
Lu Yunkai translated it.
Xie Jin looked at Lu Mu in amazement, “you can’t speak? You used to know how to talk. ”
Lu Mu’s face flashed a bitter smile, and there was no other action.
Lu Yun’s lips indicate his unhappiness at the moment.
Song Xintong looked at Lu Yunkai, covered by his broad sleeve robe, reached out and squeezed his hand, indicating that he should not make his mother more unhappy.
Lu Yunkai gently shook his wife’s hand and said, “my mother has some problems with her voice, so she can’t speak any more.”
Xie Jin said, what happened?
“I’m sick.” Lu Mu raised her hand to explain, and then asked Lu Yunkai to greet Xie Jin and sit down.
Because of Lu Mu’s voice, this meeting is destined to be a scene of moving tears. On the contrary, it is a bit more awkward and bitter.
“After receiving the news that you also died of illness, we went to Ancheng to see you for the last time, but at last we were stopped by the old lady of Zhangjia and put your coffin into zhangjialing. We watched the coffin die, but we didn’t expect that… “Xie Jin sighed.” my father and we both thought that your body was not weak. Why did you suddenly die of illness? We also wanted to find out, but Zhang Jia… ”
Xie Jin wanted to say something but stopped, and then he said, “the people of Zhang Jia said that after Master Zhang died, your happiness was broken, so that’s why…”
Song Xintong knows that these people are superstitious, and always likes to blame others for these illusory things. Zhang’s search for this excuse is really irrefutable.
Xie Jin looked at Lu’s mother and asked anxiously, “cousin Qingyu, how have you been these years?”
Lu’s mother’s original name was Zhang Qingyu, later changed to Zhang Juan, a very common name.
Lu’s mother nodded and said, “my son, daughter-in-law, filial piety and sensible grandson, everything is OK.”
Xie Jin nodded happily. When he inquired about the news, he knew that this was Lu Zhuangyuan’s house. At that time, he thought that Lu’s family should be kind to others? The woman who looks like a little aunt should not be wronged, right?
He came to Lu’s home today and was shocked to learn the truth. He didn’t expect that his cousin was still alive. He didn’t expect that Lu Zhuangyuan was his cousin’s son.
Lu’s mother asked again, “cousin, how are you at home?”
Xie Jin replied, “my father and mother have passed away for more than ten years. My eldest aunt is not very well now. She can’t leave medicine all the year round. My uncle has no business. After sharing the property, he bought a lot of good farmland in the countryside. Some of my cousins are studying in the county college, which can be regarded as farming and studying.”
“On the whole, everything is good. Although I’m working for my life, I’m not short of money.”
Lu’s mother smiles when she listens. When she reaches her age, she has experienced more, so she thinks that a stable life is happiness.
However, as a businessman, Xie Jin naturally thought that he would do more business and earn too much money, but he only wanted to infringe other people’s interests without breaking his hand. All these were allowed.
Lu’s mother can’t speak, and Lu Yunkai is not a very good talker. Song Xintong saw that everyone had said what they should say. He was afraid that everyone would be embarrassed to sit down again, so he got up and said, “mother, uncle, I’ve ordered someone to prepare food. Let’s move to the dining room.”
After arriving at the dining room, Nuan Nuan also leads the twins over. The twins are curious to see the strange man and wonder who he is.
Song Xintong holding the twins, “this is my cousin, please call someone.”
Warm crisp life of shout a, “Uncle grandfather is good.”
The twins also learn from their sister’s appearance. They say hello in a soft voice. It’s very strange to see that they can’t see the nature of the little devil.
Today, Xie Jin came in a hurry and didn’t prepare a gift. He was very embarrassed: “I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare a gift. I’ll wait for my uncle and grandfather to go back and get ready.”
Song Xintong said quickly: “my cousin doesn’t have to prepare for them like this. Children don’t need these things.”
Xie Jin said: “it’s not a success. It’s necessary. It’s necessary.”
The scroll blinked a pair of big eyes, thinking what good things would my uncle and grandfather give them? He wants a catapult to fight sparrows.
As soon as song Xintong looked back, he saw huajuan’s expectant eyes, reached for his little face and urged him to eat at the table.
The twins climbed into the chair and sat down.
Wennuan, the elder sister, handed the bib to them. They consciously put it into their necks, and then picked up their small spoons. “Dad, mom, grandma, uncle and grandfather, have dinner.”
Xie Jin looked at the twins who ate by himself. He was very surprised. He thought that the rich and noble officials should be spoiled. “Will you eat by yourself when you are so young?”
“It’s delicious to eat by yourself.” Song Xintong sandwiched some vegetables for the twins, “eat slowly.”
Sick twins eat very fragrant, eat a big meal, “delicious.”
Lu Yunkai accompanies Xie Jin to drink wine, a meal eats very slowly, but also very comfortable.
