The next day.
Xiao Lingyu got up early, washed and dressed the children, and put on delicate makeup for them.
She had to be cautious about attending the Lu family banquet today. She didn't know what connections the Lu family's masters had in Huayang County. It would be risky to take the children with her.
The focus is on Su Ningwen's makeup. Her ears, which are full of visual impact, must be diverted through makeup techniques.
After putting on her makeup, Xiao Xier went to the west wing and quietly treated Feng Jinyu with healing aroma.
Su Ning'an waited on the side and watched Xiao Lingyu put makeup on Su Ningwen.
"Mom, you have such a deft hand! You managed to draw my third brother's eyebrows in just a few strokes, neither too thick nor too thin, making them look nice. Next time, let me draw your third brother's eyebrows. I'm sure you'll notice my eyebrows right away..."
Su Ning'an suddenly realized something and looked closely at Su Ningwen's ears with thick hanging beads.
Mother was drawing eyebrows for my third brother to divert his visual attention.
Having learned painting from his mother for so long, he naturally understood this principle.
If the third brother didn't put makeup on, the first thing you would see would be his ears.
No wonder my mother wanted to cover up my second brother’s red mole. She was worried that someone would recognize him through the mole.
Fortunately, the people he met were his second brother's family, not the bad people who persecuted him.
Otherwise, my second brother will be persecuted again.
Thinking of this, Suning An felt scared.
"Brother, forget it. I'm worried you'll make me look ugly with ink, and it won't be washable."
Su Ningan came back to his senses, "...I can't draw ugly things. You have seen my painting skills."
Su Ningwen, "Okay, then don't shake your hands when you draw my eyebrows."
Su Ningan grinned, "Don't worry, my hands won't shake when I draw your eyebrows."
They will also draw you in a way that makes it unrecognizable to those who persecute you.
Su Ningjie turned his head to look at Xiao Lingyu, wanting to talk to his mother alone when he had time.
He is his mother's eldest son and has to help share the burden.
Not long after breakfast, Xiao Lingyu saw that it was still early, so he made two more batches of egg tarts...
At the end of the Chen hour, Su Ningjie finally found an opportunity to escape from his nephews and come to Luoxia Cottage.
"Big brother, third brother, you two looked really good today." Su Ningjie's gaze lingered on Su Ningwen's face for a moment.
Su Ningwen straightened his clothes and said, "I'm going to celebrate your grandfather's birthday today, so I have to dress up and not be disrespectful." Su Ningwen said as he moved closer to Su Ningjie, "Does my makeup look better today than usual?"
Su Ningjie nodded repeatedly, "Mom hasn't painted me for a long time. Look at my face, isn't it tanned?"
"Brother Jie, you look so fair." Su Xingyi came out of the kitchen carrying two lunch boxes, one large and one small. "You're not tanned."
Su Ning'an pursed his lips when he heard this, confirming that his father knew his mother's intention in applying rouge and powder to them.
Mom and Dad are silently protecting my younger brothers and sisters.
"Have you applied pearl powder these days in Lu Mansion?" Xiao Lingyu came to the yard holding Xiao Xier's hand and holding a scroll.
"Yes, my dear, I love beauty."
Xiao Lingyu patted his little head lovingly, "It's just right for our family to go to the banquet together."
Afterwards, the family rushed to Lu Mansion Villa under the escort of Xingyun Xingying.
At this time, Lu Shiyuan was sitting in the main seat in the hall of Fushou Hall, accepting the tea offered by the younger generations and listening to their birthday greetings that were as sweet as honey. The kind and gentle smile on his face never stopped.
"Not bad, not bad, my son, your handwriting is getting better and better. Grandfather likes it very much."
Lu Shiyuan looked at the Hundred Longevity Picture in front of him, feeling happy but also a little regretful and heartbroken.
This is his eldest grandson, and he has always liked him since he was a child.
The Lu family has been in business for generations, but he never expected that his grandchildren would be interested in studying. He also hoped that he and Kun'er could successfully embark on a career in politics.
But now all this has been ruined by their mother.
Lu Han did it. When Lu Hankun saw that Lu Shiyuan still liked him and his brothers, the haze that had been bothering him for days was swept away.
He took Lu Shiyuan's reward and stepped aside politely.
Lu Shiyuan looked at Lu Yuan, "Yuan'er, where did Brother Jie go now?"
Lu Yuan said, "Grandfather, Brother Jie has gone to pick up his parents and will be here soon."
"Then let's go and welcome the Su family. They are Jie Ge'er's saviors." Lu Shiyuan said as he stood up and was about to walk out of the hall.
Seeing this, Lu Zeyi and others couldn't help but look at each other. Who are the Su family?
The old man actually wanted to go and greet him in person.
The young ladies from the Lufang family were extremely surprised to see this. Their grandfather valued their little cousin who was lost and found again very much.
There is no doubt that my little cousin will be the future head of the Lu family.
Lu Shiyuan walked out of the front hall, and everyone realized it belatedly and followed him out.
They were very curious about the Su family.
Before Lu Shiyuan had taken a few steps, Zhou Tong led the Su family into the yard.
"Grandfather, I brought my parents here."
Is this the Su family?
My cousin’s adoptive parents are so young?
Lu Shiyuan smiled and said, "Madam Su, please come in."
The Su family didn't expect that the birthday boy would come out to greet them, and they were a little flattered.
The old man's action was to tell everyone in the Lu family that he valued Brother Jie very much.
Wouldn’t Brother Jie be under a lot of pressure in the Lu family in the future, with so many cousins to support him?
The Su family escorted Lu Shiyuan into the hall of Baifu Shoutang.
As soon as the Su family members sat down, Lu Shiyuan said, "Madam Su is not only Jie'er's adoptive mother, but she also cured Yao'er's madness and is my savior..."
Savior?
How can we even begin to talk about this?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Lu Shiyuan smiled and explained, "The century-old ginseng that prolonged life was provided by Madam Su. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here today."
Chen took over the conversation, "What you may not know is that the Su family is also a supplier of rare ingredients such as peppers and tomatoes. The Su family and our Lu family are so destined to be together, and they raised Brother Jie to be so cute and sensible."
Lu Zeyi smiled upon hearing this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Brother Jie was able to be picked up and raised by you two. We are indeed very destined to be with you. You are so thoughtful that you are valued by my old man."
The smile on Xiao Lingyu's face froze for a moment when he heard this.
This person is not a good person. "Excuse me, which family are you from?"
Lu Shiyuan glared at Lu Zeyi and said hurriedly, "Madam Su, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, but this is my disappointing second son."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "So it's Brother Jie's second uncle. Brother Jie was suffocated and suffered internal organ damage. He has always been weak. He gets stomachaches even when drinking water, and he gasps for air and sweats profusely after walking a few steps. I don't know who was so cruel to Brother Jie back then. I have to be careful, otherwise Brother Jie wouldn't be standing here in good health to celebrate Old Man's birthday."
