After these words were spoken, the hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The girls who were originally married off only knew that their little cousin had come back to life.
I don’t know how my little cousin has managed to survive all these years.
Seeing my lovely little cousin so cute and sweet-mouthed, my heart is filled with joy.
When Xiao Lingyu said this, the Lu family looked at Su Ningjie with heartache.
They are all mothers who have experienced the pain of childbirth. If their own children were suffocated to death after being born with great difficulty and thrown into a mass grave where wild dogs are always present, they would want to kill.
Lu Xin, Lu Jiao and others unconsciously shifted their gazes from Su Ningjie to elsewhere.
Su Ningjie stood here intact, reminding them that it was their mothers who had dealt the harsh blow to him.
Faced with such a powerful Mrs. Su, they felt a little scared, but not much.
Lu Han felt even more guilty about what he did to Lu Han Kun. No wonder his little cousin was weaker than his nephews of the same age.
Lu Zexu noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly said, "Master Su, Madam Su, I am Jie'er's third uncle. I am sorry for all the trouble you have taken over these years. You have raised Jie to be such a lovely and sensible child. We will always remember your great kindness to our Lu family and will never forget it."
Su Xingyi said, "Third Master, you're being too serious. From the day I picked up Jie, I raised him as my own son. To be honest, I don't want Jie to be recognized by your Lu family, but I have to respect Jie's wishes. I can't selfishly prevent you from recognizing each other by blood."
Su Xingyi glanced at Lu Zeyi and continued, "Brother Jie has suffered a lot since he was a child. I don't want to see him suffer any more harm. Now that you have adopted him into the Lu family, I hope he will be loved even more."
Si Chuyu smiled and said, "Brother Jie will not only be loved by the Su and Lu families, but also by our Si family." Si Chuyu looked at Su Ningjie, "Brother Jie, after our grandfather's birthday banquet today, we will choose a day to return to Huayang County. Brother-in-law will take you to visit the Si family. Do you want to go?"
Su Ningjie nodded and said, "I want to go."
"Brother Jie." Lu Shiyuan frowned upon hearing this, and he grabbed Su Ningjie's hand and pulled it in front of him. "Before going to the Si family, you must first go back to the Lu family's ancestral home with your grandfather to pay homage to the ancestors. Only then can you go to the Si family, understand?"
Su Ningjie nodded obediently, "I listen to my grandfather."
"By the way, Grandfather, my mother has prepared two birthday gifts for you." Su Ningjie took the scroll from Xiao Lingyu and arranged for the servants to slowly unfold the painting of Fu Lu Shou crane in front of everyone.
"This is the painting of Fu Lu Shou and the Crane that my mother drew for you. Does Grandfather like it?"
When Lu Shiyuan saw the picture of the cranes of Fu Lu Shou clearly, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked someone to bring a magnifying glass to take a closer look.
Why does this painting look a bit like the calligraphy and painting of Mr. Mu Bai, who was famous in Kyoto a few years ago?
However, the style of the painting of Fu Lu Shou and the crane in front of me is more mature and stable.
"Mrs. Su, did you really draw this?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "Mr. Lu, I drew this. Do you like this birthday gift?"
Lu Shiyuan smiled and said, "I really like this painting of the cranes of fortune, longevity and happiness. Madam Su is not only knowledgeable in medicine, but her painting skills are also so high."
Xiao Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "Ever since I was little, my elders have been very strict with me, asking me to learn more skills."
Lu Shiyuan's eyebrows moved slightly. To learn medicine, calligraphy and painting, one cannot learn them with just a few dollars.
Mrs. Su's family was even richer than he had imagined.
"Grandfather." A vigorous voice came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman wearing a Xiang-leaf skirt with pine needles, gold powder and fish playing in the pattern, with light red lips and a little makeup on, escorted by Nuan Yu Su Min and others, slowly walking into the room.
The eyes of the Lu sisters all lit up. Was the person coming really their little cousin?
Ever since Lu Yao fell ill, she rarely appeared in public.
The Lu sisters only return to their ancestral home during festivals.
They had all seen Lu Yao go crazy. At first, they would go to the main room to help Lu Yuan comfort her, and sometimes they would be scratched by Lu Yao if they were not careful.
As time went by, I went to the big house to see Lu Yao less and less often.
Even when they heard shouting coming from the main house in their own courtyards, they remained indifferent.
"Yao'er, why did you come out? You should rest well."
Lu Shiyuan was anxious. People from the second and fourth rooms had arrived. He was worried that it would trigger a relapse of her madness, so he didn't let her out yesterday.
"Today is Grandpa's birthday. I'm the second daughter of the eldest wife, Grandpa's granddaughter. How can I not come and accompany Grandpa?"
Lu Yao quickly glanced at her sisters in each room, but she couldn't even recognize her older cousins.
A little strange.
Lu Han, Lu Han Kun would often visit her, and she remembered it clearly.
Su Ningjie walked up to Lu Yao and said, "Second sister, you've come just in time. The feast is about to begin. This is the second birthday gift that mother prepared for grandfather. I think you'll like it."
Lu Yao glanced sideways at the two food boxes, one large and one small, placed between Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi. "It was from last time at Luoxia Cottage..."
"Yes, it's a super-sized birthday cake."
"What is a birthday cake? Is it something delicious like milk tea?" Lu Shiyuan looked at the two food boxes, one large and one small, and swallowed secretly. Madam Su's food must be delicious.
Su Ningjie nodded. "It's a cake that can only be eaten on birthdays. My mother has made it many times, and it took her many hours to make it successfully. It's a unique delicacy in Beiyi."
The other members of the Lu family frowned slightly when they heard this. Giving food as a birthday gift was really not decent.
Lu Yuan grasped the key point, which is the pastries that can only be eaten on birthdays.
Wouldn't that be another good way to make a living?
"Madam Su, these cakes that can only be eaten on birthdays must be delicious. Could you open them now and let Grandfather take a look?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "It would be best if we had the birthday cake at the banquet and have the old man open it himself, accept our blessings, make a wish on the birthday cake, and then enjoy it together. However, I also prepared egg tarts today, one for each of us is just right."
As soon as the words fell.
Su Ningjie couldn't wait to open the lid of the snack box, and the golden egg tarts appeared in everyone's sight.
The Lu family had eaten all kinds of pastries, but this was the first time they had seen the egg tarts in front of them.
Smelling the faint sweet fragrance in the air, I swallowed reluctantly.
Actually, the meal is about to start, and I’m feeling a little hungry.
Su Ningjie glanced at his nephews and picked out the best-looking egg tart. "Come and try it. You're sure to like it."
After he finished speaking, Zhou Tong took his servants and distributed the egg tarts one by one.
"Grandfather, try it."
Seeing that the children couldn't wait any longer, Lu Shiyuan took a bite of the egg tart.
The younger generation of the Lu family then started to talk freely.
