Lu Yun hooked his arm around her waist from behind, pulled her back, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be angry. How about I mix rouge with you?"

Luo Lingyu's heart moved, and her phoenix eyes looked at him: "Seriously?"

Lu Yun stared at his extremely beautiful wife, his eyes dimmed, and said in a low voice: "Of course it is true... But before that, please go take a bath first. Let your husband have a good time first."

Luo Lingyu: “…”

Chapter 135

After the beginning of summer, the weather gets hotter day by day. Cicadas chirp intermittently. People are lazy in summer and stay in their houses more and more, unwilling to go out.

After the nap, Mrs. Lu heard from her maid Lu Yao that Princess Ningping was coming to visit. The maid was fanning her, creating a gentle breeze. Mrs. Lu leaned on the couch, feeling listless for a while, so she asked the servant to ask the Third Young Master’s wife to come over. This meant, of course, that she would ask the Third Young Master’s wife to receive the guest for her.

The maid Lu Yao said in embarrassment, "Madam, have you forgotten? The court has been closed for the past two days, and Sanlang is staying at home. The Third Young Master's wife sent someone to say that she wants to take a two-day break to accompany Sanlang."

Mrs. Lu rubbed her forehead with her hand and paused, then she remembered this matter.

When the husband is on leave, the wife should stay at home to accompany him... When Luo Lingyu was in charge of the family, Mrs. Lu was worried about the future of her daughter-in-law. Now that Luo Lingyu is no longer in charge, Mrs. Lu doesn't understand why a man should accompany her. Would meeting the servants and settling accounts delay Luo Lingyu's conversation with Sanlang? It's just a small matter for the husband to stay at home, why does he need to take a special leave?

Obviously, the Third Young Master's wife needs her husband to accompany her.

Madam Lu, who was dignified and old-fashioned, was not of the same kind as Luo Lingyu, so she naturally could not understand the interest of the newlywed couple from the second house. Since Luo Lingyu did not come to entertain Princess Ningping, Madam Lu was afraid that the other young ladies were not familiar with the princess, and she was also afraid that her absence would scare her timid daughter-in-law... In the end, Madam Lu had to go out and accompany her in person.

Before leaving, he asked where Lu Erlang was.

The answer was that Erlang was in the government office.

Mrs. Lu immediately became angry: "…It's the same holiday, but Sanlang went home, but my son didn't come back. Is he going to get married?"

Lu Yao gently advised his wife: "Er Lang hasn't figured it out yet."

Mrs. Lu was impatient: "Hurry up and tell him to go home and be with his fiancée!"

Liu Tang was nervously waiting for her future mother-in-law in the reception hall. After she arrived, she asked about Luo Lingyu. Knowing that Luo Lingyu was not coming, she became even more uneasy, fearing that she had come at the wrong time. Mrs. Lu was very gentle to her daughter-in-law and talked to her for a few words. But Mrs. Lu obviously didn't have much interest. She was very strict and looked like she was scolding. Seeing that the princess was getting more and more silent, Mrs. Lu bit the bullet and suggested - "Tang'er hasn't visited our garden yet, right? How about I take Tang'er to play?"

Liu Tang spoke softly, "Yes. Will it cause trouble to Madam?"

So a large group of people accompanied Mrs. Lu and Princess Ningping to visit the garden. Halfway through, Mrs. Lu finally thought of a topic and tried to talk to Liu Tang about the topic of "Zhongfu". Liu Tang also accompanied her future mother-in-law carefully, but she heard her mother-in-law's implicit words that once she got married, she would come over and learn Zhongfu. The little princess was a little bit courageous.

Passing pavilions, halls, and tall buildings, the group walked on the double-sided corridor on the stone bridge, with winding carved railings and clear lake water. The tall trees, lotus and banana trees on both sides, connected with the waves and sunlight, swayed together and stepped on by everyone. When Mrs. Lu was about to talk to Liu Tang, she heard the little princess shout in surprise. Liu Tang climbed up the railing, leaned down and looked down, and called out: "Madam, look!"

Just below the corridor, the lake was rippling with clear water, the lotus pond was fragrant, and the flowers were like red clouds. The large lake in the backyard of the Lu family was connected to the Qinhuai River. The lake was planted with lotus flowers that had been there for a hundred years. Every summer, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, which was a rare sight for the Lu family. But at this time, Liu Tang exclaimed, not because she saw the flowers blooming in the lake, but because she saw Lu Yun and his wife rowing a boat in the lotus pond, as well as their young wife Luo Yunhuan.

The lotus leaves were as big as plates, with green and pink colors interlaced, stretching from sky to sun, stretching as far as the eye can see. The boat stopped among the lotus leaves, unable to move because of the lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The oars simply leaned against the boat, letting the boat drift with the water. Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu sat next to each other, rolling up their sleeves and picking lotus. There were many lotus tents on the bow, Lu Yun picked lotus, Luo Lingyu peeled lotus seeds, but they all went to the little girl Luo Yunhuan at the other end of the boat.

Luo Yunhua's voice is like an oriole, and she recites ancient poems while shaking her head.

"The green lotus covers the green water, and the hibiscus is covered with red."

"On a wooden boat with golden oars, we playfully pick lotuses from the south of the Yangtze River."

"The green lotus grows in the deep spring, and the morning sun is bright and fresh."

After racking her brains to recite everything in her memory, Luo Yunhuan begged, "That's all, that's all I remember... Sister, brother-in-law, please give me some lotus seeds!"

Luo Lingyu hummed when she heard her sister urging her, "I'm busy. I don't have time. You're really too greedy to eat after reciting just a few sentences."

Although she said she was busy, she was not busy with other things, but putting a peeled lotus seed into her husband's mouth. Lu Sanlang lowered his eyes, smiled and glanced at her, Luo Lingyu smiled, and then she had time to pay attention to her sister. Luo Yunhuan pouted and glared at her sister. Lu Yun smiled faintly beside him: "How old is Huan'er?"

Luo Lingyu was startled, looked up and stared at him, wondering if Lu Yun meant to arrange a marriage for her sister right now? She was suddenly happy, and naturally hoped that her sister's marriage would be smoother than her own. Luo Lingyu was about to go over to please Lu Yun, but unexpectedly Lu Yun looked at her with a playful look and looked away.

Luo Lingyu: ...Is this guy teasing her?

Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu were playing with their little sister in the lotus pond when they suddenly heard Liu Tang calling from above: "Sanlang, Sister Luo, Huan'er, what are you doing?"

Several people looked up, against the sunlight, and saw a group of people on the veranda, led by Madam Lu, whose expression was unpredictable, and Princess Liu Tang of Ningping, whose face was full of curiosity and joy. Lu Sanlang was so reserved that he just sat on the boat and nodded to everyone from a distance, which was considered a greeting. Young lady Luo Yunhuan was lively and stood up to wave and greet everyone one by one. Luo Lingyu, with her clothes fluttering in the wind, stood up gracefully and answered the questions on the shore with a smile: "Madam, Your Highness, my husband and I want to make lotus tea. It happens that the lotus flowers at home are blooming, so we came to try it."
