Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 190
The twelfth lunar month is 23 North Xiaonian, and the twelfth lunar month is 24 South Xiaonian.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it is necessary to sweep the dust and worship the stove...

Early in the morning, Lu Yange went to the pier to wait. She just received a letter yesterday, saying that her parents were coming to Beijing for the New Year.

The Lu family had just moved in, and there were two children at home. After [-] years, shopkeeper Li sent Li Taoshan to invite them, saying that the two brothers and sisters would go to Li's house to celebrate the New Year.

Lu Yange was unwilling, saying that they moved to a new house, and they must be guarded by someone to be popular. If they go to Li's house for the New Year, there will be no one at home.

After calling several times, Lu Yange finally agreed to go to Li's house for dinner on the [-]th night, if there is no one from Lu's house.

The Lu family's house is not that big. Compared with Jiangjiaba's courtyard, the Sanjin courtyard has more houses, but the courtyard is much smaller.

Houses in the capital have a front door, a screen wall, a hanging flower door, an inverted room, and a row of servant rooms behind the main room.

This is the best courtyard in Beijing, not compared with those princes and dukes.

Not to mention ordinary people, even those officials with shallow foundations may not have such a good house to live in.

Not to mention those small officials of about six or seven ranks who need to rent houses when they go to Beijing to continue their posts.

In addition to this house, the Lu family also has a yard.This courtyard belongs exclusively to Lu Yange, and it can be regarded as her only private residence in this era.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Lu Qingluan was busy directing the newly bought cook to cook.

Da Zhang, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, hurried in: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, Fourth Young Master has picked up my master and his wife to come in."

"Dad and mother are here?"

Lu Qingluan hurriedly ran out when she heard the sound, and before she could get around the screen wall, she saw that Lu Yange had already supported Qiu Shi and walked in while talking with Lu Quan.

Behind them, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiaowu had just got off the carriage, and two other servants were carrying things from the carriage at the gate of the courtyard.

Maybe they were well prepared, and they hired four carriages at the pier to load all the things.

"Father, mother, third sister, little brother... why are you here?"

Lu Qingluan was still holding a handful of green garlic in his hand, looking at a group of relatives whom he hadn't seen for several days, he didn't know what to do.

No wonder she asked this question. When she and her fourth brother left home for Beijing, they told their parents not to come to Beijing in a hurry, and wait for them to settle down in the capital. Parents come here.

Now, they have only been here for a few days, not only did their parents chase after them, but they also knew from the things on the carriage that they even moved here.

"Of course I'm here to accompany you two to celebrate the New Year. How can we rest assured that you two are here, the New Year is not going well."

Qiu smiled and rubbed Lu Qingluan's head, "It's not that I found a cook, why do I need you to cook by myself?"

Lu Qingluan smiled shyly: "I... I was just too busy to learn how to cook from the cook, and I didn't do anything."

Lu Qingluan was also the Sanya that Lu Yange bought a few years ago in Jiangjiaba Wawuzhuang. Some people said that Sanya was the child bride that the Lu family bought for Lu Yangge, while others said that the Sanya who changed her name to Lu Qingluan was the adopted daughter of the Lu family.

In the Lu family, Lu Qingluan was considered a special existence. Lu Xiaowu called her Fourth Sister, sister Xiaoqing called her Younger Sister, and the servants of the Lu family also respectfully called her Fourth Miss.But she is not in the sequence of the Lu family's siblings, nor is she included in the Lu family's genealogy.

A group of people entered the living room, hugged the stove, drank hot tea, and felt that the whole person was relieved from the cold winter.

Lu Quan drank half a cup of tea before he had the heart to look at the surrounding environment: "This yard is not bad. After all, it is a house in the capital, but it is neatly organized."

"That's natural, otherwise how can it be called the capital." Qiu's eyes fell on the flower bed in front of the hall, "It's the trees that are so beautiful."

Lu Qingluan turned the charcoal basin in the house with a wooden stick, and said, "Father and mother, it won't look good until the flowers bloom in spring."

Qiu's face was full of smiles: "It's beautiful now, and it will be even more beautiful when it blooms in spring."

Lu Qingluan's voice was crisp and clear: "Let me take my parents to look at the yard together. Don't look at the front yard, but the back yard is also good. The fourth brother specially opened a vegetable field, saying that if mother comes, she must like it."

Hearing that there is a vegetable garden, Mrs. Qiu couldn't sit still: "Then let's go and have a look."

Lu Qingluan led Lu Quan and his wife to look at the yard, and Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Wu couldn't sit still, so they followed.

Seeing that everyone wanted to look at the yard, Lu Yange slowly got up and walked out with the big guys.

On the way, Lu Yange lifted up Xiao Wu's hood, put his warm hands on Xiao Wu's cheeks, and asked, "Xiao Wu, are you cold?"

Lu Xiaowu looked arrogant: "I was cold at first, but now that my fourth brother asked me, I am not cold anymore."

It made Lu Yange couldn't help pinching his little face: "Naughty."

Lu Yange likes Xiao Wu very much at home, the little guy has a chubby face, not at all the skinny look when she first met her.She is also good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big watery eyes, very beautiful.

It is said that the brothers are alike, and the neighbors of Jiangjiaba also said that the two brothers of the Lu family look alike.

In fact, there is not much similarity between the two people. Lu's family lives well, Xiao Wu is well-raised, and his flesh is white and tender, and he looks festive.

Lu Yange, on the other hand, has a slender figure, but his eyebrows and eyes are more refined and better-looking.It's just that on weekdays, to cover up, things are painted on, and instead of being white, it looks a little yellow and thin.The whole person is quite inferior, and not so conspicuous.

The person who said this may just be joking, but Lu Quan and Qiu Shi were very happy to hear it.

Among the Lu family siblings, Lu Xiaowu is the liveliest one.In Lu Yange's words, this little brother has a social aura.

Lu Xiaowu stretched out a hand and pinched Lu Yange's sleeve: "Fourth brother, I have finished learning the thousand-character prose."

His tone was full of pride and admiration for Xiaosi, his brother.

"Not bad, not bad." Lu Yange raised his hand and patted Xiao Wu's head, and praised: "You are much smarter than me. When I was your age, how could I know nothing?"

"Really?" Lu Xiaowu's eyes were full of curiosity.

In his heart, the fourth brother is the most powerful, he can read and do business.If there is something in the family, parents and sisters will consult with the fourth brother.

Even the neighbors of Jiangjiaba, the shop owners, and the Lu family's Xiaosi, they only praised him and nothing bad happened.

If he is more powerful than fourth brother, isn't he the most powerful?

Before Lu Yange could answer, Lu Xiaoyu smiled and bent over: "Your heart is really big, you still have to compare with your fourth brother, and you can only compare with me."

Lu Yange doted on this little brother very much. She smiled and rubbed Xiao Wu's head: "When I was Xiao Wu's age, I really didn't know anything. I didn't enter the academy until I was ten years old. It's not like Xiao Wu, who was enlightened at the age of three, entered a private school at the age of five."

Lu Xiaoyu sighed: "It's not that the family is poor, so Xiao Wu was born in a lucky nest, and he didn't suffer much. In the future, we must study hard, learn to read, and strive to obtain fame. Our Lu family can only count on you to honor our ancestors .”

Xiao Wu nodded immediately: "Well, I will work hard."
