Chapter 90 Big Brother Comes Home
Lu Songli and Lu Mingzhi stayed in the main courtyard all the time and had lunch there.
After Lu Desheng took the medicine and took a nap, he woke up at noon and was obviously much more energetic than in the morning, but he still couldn't speak.
At this time, someone came from the doorman, "Madam, the second young lady, the second young master, the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress are back. The Tian family's master and the Tian family's eldest young master are here with them."
When Jiang heard that her eldest son and daughter-in-law had returned, and her father-in-law and son had also arrived, and then she thought of her eldest grandson and granddaughter, she stood up and wanted to go out.
Being suppressed by Lu Songli and Lu Mingzhi, "Mom, you are tired today, just wait in the main hall. My younger brother and I will go to the second gate to welcome my father-in-law, my uncle, my eldest brother and his wife."
Besides, it was already December outside, and it was snowing lightly. The weather was really cold. One of the two elders was already sick, and her mother couldn't afford to fall ill again.
"But my father-in-law is here—" If it was just her eldest son and daughter-in-law coming back, it would be fine if she didn't go, but her father-in-law came and her husband was sick, so it would be too neglectful for her not to go to greet him.
"My father-in-law and the others won't mind." After saying that, Lu Songli walked out. When she passed by Lu Mingzhi, she motioned him to follow.
As Lu Songli walked, she wondered why the Tian family father and son came.
The Tian family father and son had returned, freeing her eldest brother. It was light snowing today, which wasn't ideal for travel. But her eldest brother and his wife still chose to come back today. It was understandable, considering it was already the Minor Cold, and the weather would only get colder as time went on. It was good for her eldest brother and his family to come back sooner rather than later.
The servants of the Lu Mansion had already cleared the snow from the main road leading from the main gate to the main courtyard early in the morning, making the road easy to walk on. As the siblings arrived at the second gate, several carriages from the Lu and Tian families drove towards them.
Lu Songli subconsciously felt that the number of carriages was wrong, a bit too many. Normally, two carriages would be enough for her eldest brother and his wife's family, plus the servants they brought with them. The Tian family father and son only needed one, even with other people. Now, there were five carriages coming in.
Perhaps seeing them, the carriage in front lifted a corner of its curtain.
Lu Xiao saw them and shouted at them, "Aunt! Uncle——"
"Little sister, get on quickly!" Lu Zhiyuan jumped off the carriage and gave his seat to Lu Songli. Otherwise, the carriage would be too crowded if another person got on. It was just right for him to get off so that he could walk with his younger brother.
Lu Xiao also waved at her, "Aunt, come up quickly."
Lu Songli didn't hesitate and got into the car directly.
Lu Xiao squeezed closer to his mother, leaving enough space for Lu Songli. He patted the empty seat with his little hands and called her, "Auntie, sit here, next to Xiaoxiao."
As soon as Lu Songli sat down, the little guy sat next to her and started to count the accounts.
"Aunt, you said before that you would pick up Xiaoxiao when grandpa and uncle came back, but Xiaoxiao kept waiting and waiting, but you never came." The little guy accused her.
"I'm sorry, it's my aunt's fault. She was too busy and didn't have time to pick you up." Lu Songli apologized directly without perfunctorily treating him as a child.
She wanted to pick up little Lu Xiao in person, but wasn't it a coincidence that something happened? They were back today. However, Lu Songli guessed that the Tian family father and son should have just arrived home not long ago.
"It's okay, I forgive you! I came back by myself!" Lu Xiao said proudly.
"Thank you Xiaoxiao for your magnanimity. Xiaoxiao is really amazing." Lu Songli praised him very straightforwardly.
The little guy was embarrassed by his praise, his face turned red, and he huddled close to his mother.
Tian had never heard the elders praise their children so directly. They taught their children to be obedient and humble. Even if the children did something well or achieved some results, they would not let them be proud and complacent.
"Little sister, I heard that our father is sick. Is it serious?" Tian asked this nervously while holding her sleeping daughter. They heard the steward Chen mention this at the door. For this, her father glanced at her with a hint of blame in his eyes.
"Our father is weak and has a fever, and he caught a cold. He has already seen the imperial physician and taken medicine. He is now in better condition than he was this morning."
"That's good, that's good."
Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi were walking outside when they were called into the Tian family's carriage by Tian Qinglai, the father of the Tian family. They also mentioned Lu's father's illness, and when they learned that he was not seriously ill, Tian's father breathed a sigh of relief.
The carriage stopped at the main courtyard, and Jiang was already waiting at the door.
Tian Qinglai brought his eldest son Tian Kui to meet Jiang, and then Lu Zhiyuan and Tian came forward with their children to pay their respects.
When Lu Xiao saw Jiang, he stuck to her, hugged her thighs, called her "Grandma" all the time, and spoke with a very sweet mouth.
Lu Songli raised an eyebrow. She had finally realized that her nephew looked a bit like his grandfather. Her eldest brother wasn't a spiritual person. It should be said that he and his sister-in-law were both quite serious people. They actually raised a child like Lu Xiao who was sweet-talking and clever. It showed how strong his genes were.
Lu Songli invited everyone into the house, one by one, old and young, and asked them to stop standing outside in the snow.
At this moment, Lu Desheng had just finished his meal and taken his medicine, and he had slept all morning, so he was not very sleepy at the moment.
Jiang took Tian Qinglai and Tian Yuan to visit Lu Desheng first. Tian naturally went ahead with Lu Zhiyuan.
Jiang was the first to say, "Old man, look who's back?"
"father--"
When Lu Desheng saw Lu Zhiyuan, he subconsciously wanted to snort coldly, but he lost his voice and couldn't hum.
Lu Songli also came forward holding Lu Xiao and joined in the fun, "Dad, look, aren't you and your elder brother connected by heart? When you got sick, your elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew came home."
As he spoke, Lu Songli put Lu Xiao down and let him fall to the ground. Seeing that he was about to rush to the bed, Lu Desheng quickly waved his hand to stop him from getting closer, for fear that he would pass on his illness to him.
Finally, Lu Songli found a chair and asked him to sit down and talk to his grandfather. He didn't have to sit down, but he couldn't cross the chair.
So the little guy could only ask his grandfather about his well-being from across the Chu River and Han River in a wronged manner.
Lu Songli stood aside. She had just noticed her eldest brother's uneasy expression. But there was no overnight grudge between father and son, and it wasn't a big deal. Let them deal with it slowly, and it would naturally pass. Besides, there was Lu Xiao in the middle to act as a lubricant.
Faced with the nagging concern of his beloved grandson, Lu Desheng soon succumbed to it. Although he could not speak, he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible.
Since Lü Desheng couldn't make a sound, Tian Qinglai comforted him with a few words, and the group left. After all, he was still a frail patient, and as a relative, the thought was enough.
