Chapter 4 (1/2)
The population of the Lu family is not large. In the past, the Lu family was only an emperor merchant. Later, he and Mo Rong Zhan together gave him all the money and wealth of the Lu family. Although Lu Lingzhi was born as a merchant, he was also handsome and gentle, but he was brave and warlike, and was a good general under Murong Zhan. Therefore, after the river and mountain of Murong Zhan were stable, Lu Lingzhi became a servant of the military department.
Lu Shiming is Lu Lingzhi's uncle, ranking third in the Lu family. There are Lu Lingzhi's father and a second brother who is away from home. Lu Lingzhi, the eldest son of the third generation, did not inherit the family business, but became an official. Now the business of the Lu family is handed over to the second master.
Lu Lingzhi's father has passed away, leaving only two sons and a daughter. However, the highest status person in the Lu family is Mrs. Lu.
Ye Zhen has a simple understanding of the relationship between the Lu family, and her peers have four brothers and five sisters. The eldest girl, Lu Shuanger, has become a royal concubine. The rest of the girls have not yet married. Although she is adopted, Lu Shiming treats her like a biological daughter, which is also included in the list.
”Grandmother is strict, but her heart is the most kind. Don't be timid when you meet. Just be magnanimous. Elder brother is the most kind. She is the best to us younger brothers and sisters. You will like it when you meet...” Lu Xiangzhi talks with Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen just nodded with a smile and did not speak.
She knew better than anyone how gentle Lu Lingzhi looked, but it was he who was so terrible that it made people feel cold.
Having known him for two years, she really thought he was warm and trustworthy and treated him like a big brother, but she didn't know that he was so mean and shameless. She could only vent her hatred by drinking his blood.
The two brothers and sisters talked all the way, and when they got to the room, Lu Xiangzhi just reacted. How could she seem to be a different person? She used to be chattering, but now she's on the contrary. It turns out that he's nagging?
He turned his head and looked at his sister's emaciated side face. When he was in the border city, the climate was not the same as Kyoto. His sister was not like a boudoir woman. She always liked to run all over the mountains and fields. Her skin was not as white as ordinary women, but she was healthy and beautiful. Now, after half a month's illness in the house, her cheeks became ruddy, but she was also a little white, although she was not as good as the gold in Kyoto Miss, but no longer like a wild boy.
However, the younger sister seems to be a little different. Her dark and nimble eyes seem to be a little more quiet than before. At this time, her pink lips are more tightly pursed, her face is more pale, and there is no previous careless smile.
Probably because of the tension! Lu Xiangzhi laughs and only regards her sister's disorder as a result of being unaccustomed to a new environment. ”Don't be nervous. Grandma doesn't look strict with the rules like those old ladies of the aristocratic family. Just follow the usual rules.”
Ye Zhen smiles in his heart. The Lu family is not a well-known family, but a businessman who doesn't get into the stream. Maybe Mrs. Lu doesn't know a few big characters, so how can she know what the rules are.
Now she hates the Lu family deeply. If she didn't want revenge and Miss Lu Shiming's sincere love for her sister, she would never stay here again.
Stepping into the upper room, Ye Zhen slowed down and came to the hall two steps away from Lu Xiangzhi. On the main seat, there was an old lady about 50 or 60 years old. Her face was like a silver plate, and her hair should be dyed. Her hair should be dark and bright. There are people sitting on the two sides of the chair. Lu Shiming, who is nearest to the old lady, makes her laugh frequently 。
Although Ye Zhen does not squint, deftly and obediently salutes old lady Lu.
”That's what you said about the wild girl. I'm very clever looking at it.” Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi is not here? Ye Zhen's tense mood relaxed for a while, she thought she would see him, originally full of hatred could not be suppressed, she also worried about whether she could not calm down when she saw him.
