Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!

Chapter 49

When talking about studying, Mrs. Xia couldn't help talking too much.

She didn't talk about these things in front of Mrs. Lu, but said happily to Lin Yunwan alone: ​​"I also played the piano when I was young, but I put down my piano skills after I took care of the house."

However, recalling the happy times when I was young, I have to be a little sad.

Mrs. Xia's expression turned gloomy.

Lin Yunwan twirled her fingertips, and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't play the piano, as there will be fewer calluses on your fingers."

Lu Jia was curious for a moment: "Do you have calluses on your hands?"

Of course, how could the fingers of the piano player not have calluses.

Lin Yunwan spread out her hands to show her, but her hands have long since stopped playing the piano, and now they look white and tender, like water onions, very attractive.

Lu Jia straightened his eyes.

Her hands followed her father's, with thick joints and not so good-looking fingers. She wanted to praise Lin Yunwan, but she couldn't say it for some reason.

"My brother and sister's hands really don't look like calluses at all."

She twisted her handkerchief and said this sentence.

Lu Zhengliu looked at Lin Yunwan's fingers along the way, and couldn't help but look at her face, she was equally fair and delicate, like the best Ruci, but Ruci was cold, her hands and her face should be warm .

In this room, there are not many people who can really talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Mrs. Xia also found it boring, so she said that the female relatives could talk about it: "In addition to housekeeping, women also need female workers to do a good job. I wonder how your embroidery skills are, Yun Wan?"

She was full of anticipation.

Lin Yunwan smiled lightly and said, "So-so, I can only do some rough embroidery work."

Mrs. Xia thought she was being modest and refused to believe it.

Luckily, female celebrities really have something to say, and Wei Shi also interjected: "Being a female worker is the best way to kill time, but playing cards is the best way to kill time than female workers."

"I often play cards with girls. Unfortunately, girls are better than me. Sometimes I get angry when I lose too much."

Mrs. Xia smiled coldly: "Why bother to get angry with the girls and lose your identity."

Wei Shi said: "Hey, what's the matter. They are all maids who have served by my side for many years."

Lu Jia secretly glared at Wei Shi.

As a aunt, she really can't speak, so why not talk about playing cards!It's better to fight with the maids, even if it is to fight with the wives and wives of the uncle's house and the Hou's house, that would be more decent.

I was already shameless in front of my mother-in-law, so why did my aunt try to raise her face for her.

I really get angrier the more I think about it.

Lu Jia took a sip of tea, but the tea in the cup was cold, and the girl from my aunt's place didn't know to come over to change it.

Lin Yunwan glanced at it and ordered, "Give me a cup of tea instead."

She didn't give a clear order to whom she said, but luckily, the maid at Wei's place is pretty smart, she came over immediately when she heard it, and said in a coy way: "Madam, aunt, it's my servant's negligence, my servant will bring you some hot tea."

Lu Jia's complexion improved.

As a result, as soon as she turned her face, she saw her mother-in-law looking at Lin Yunwan with admiration, closer than seeing her own daughter.

Obviously she is the daughter-in-law of the Xia family!

There is an embroidered screen in Wei's room. The four-fold screen is connected to form a picture of "A Picture of Thousands of Armies Crossing the Water".The finishing touch above is the figure on horseback.

This screen is the only tasteful item in Wei's room.

Mrs. Xia took a high look, and praised the characters above: "The needle technique is well used, and it is a rare treasure."

Wei smiled: "This is embroidered by Yun Wan. She embroidered for a whole year when she first passed the door, and gave it to me as a birthday present. I like it very much. I have been using it until now, and I am reluctant to put it away."

"Oh? So it was embroidered by Yun Wan?"

Mrs. Xia smiled and "blamed" and said: "You still said that your embroidery skills are sloppy, this can't be called sloppy!"

Lu Jia glanced at the screen, opened his mouth and said, "It's obvious that we should use a virtual needle here. It looks really good at first glance, but it's a pity... I used a wrong needle." His eyes fell on the character's cheek.

"She used the virtual and the real to realize the needs. This whole show, the virtual and the real are very good."

Mrs. Xia gave her a cold look: "Shut up if you are not good at learning."

Lu Jia bit her lip.

It's not because the Lu family doesn't pay attention to her female celebrity because she is not good at learning.

Mrs. Xia felt that the reprimand was not enough, so she said directly: "You are far inferior to Yun Wan as a daughter-in-law, so learn more from your younger siblings."

Lu Jia's face turned pale, and she said with a stiff face: "Of course my siblings are doing well in everything, and I have a lot to learn from her!"

Lin Yunwan felt bad.

This old Mrs. Xia really likes her too much, and her words are too straightforward to hurt others.

How could Lu Jia bear such a narrow personality.

Must hate her.

But she had better not say anything now, anything would add fuel to the fire.

Wei Shi didn't dare to argue with the old lady of the Xia family, she was stupid and couldn't win against the Xia family.

Lu Zhengliu had no choice but to save his sister, but he is a man after all, so he couldn't openly intervene in the affairs of the housewives, so he talked about the men's affairs: "Is the old man in good health?"

Mrs. Xia smiled lightly and said: "Young Master Lao is concerned, everything is fine. You will know when you see it tomorrow." Then she casually raised her mouth: "Because I have a brother who is a doctor and he is very good at medicine. Trouble him to help recuperate the body, and prevent minor illnesses from escalating, and my family members are not very sick."

"It's a blessing for the family that someone is a doctor. I don't know if my uncle came with me when I came to Beijing this time?"

Mrs. Xia hesitated for a moment before saying: "He's here too, but...he has something important to do, so he'll leave after he's done."

Lu Zhengliu nodded and said, "Since you're here, don't see outsiders, it's okay to stay at home together."

Mrs. Xia said: "He is especially good at seeing eye diseases. This time he came to Beijing to see a nobleman. He has someone to receive him, so you don't need to trouble you anymore." But he didn't mention the identity of the nobleman.

"See eye disease?"

Lin Yunwan asked in surprise.

Mrs. Xia looked at her and asked with concern: "Yunwan, do your eyes feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Zhengliu rushed to speak for her: "My mother-in-law has an eye disease and has been blind for several years. I wonder if uncle can please spare time to take a look at my mother-in-law's eyes?"

"Of course, I'll let someone send a message to the place where he stayed."

Lin Yunwan took the opportunity to say: "Please trouble uncle to make another trip, the child Longbow also has weak eyesight. I am worried that this child will suffer from eye diseases when he grows up, which will delay his entry into office."

Mrs. Xia paused, and then said: "It's okay, but I'm afraid that the time is tight, and I'm afraid it's not convenient for Longbow to see a doctor. You have to ask this child to wait at any time."

Lin Yunwan smiled: "It should. There is no reason for the doctor to wait for the patient."

Mrs. Xia talked to the girl beside her and went to invite her younger brother.

Lu Zhengliu glanced at Lin Yunwan.

She misses an adopted son so much?

Lin Yunwan didn't look at him.

Lu Zhengliu has always stayed out of her affairs, so I don't know what's on his mind this time.Perhaps he wanted to gain a reputation as a good husband in front of his relatives?

Then it will be difficult for him to do so.

Lin Yunwan also didn't want to think about it.

"You all care so much about Longbow, why don't you see Brother Qing? I'm not talking about you, the younger siblings, both of them are the sons of the Hou family, how can you only favor one?"

Lu Jia spoke abruptly, and said, "I heard that you only taught Longbow, but you didn't teach Brother Qing yourself. It's too obvious that you favor one another." She purposely glanced at Lu Zhengliu, intending to remind him, Don't forget who is his own son!

Lu Zhengliu really remembered to ask Lin Yunwan at this time: "Why didn't you bring brother Qing?"

This kind of scene of seeing relatives really shouldn't leave Brother Qing alone.

It was Lin Yunwan who didn't do it thoughtfully.

Mrs. Xia didn't know the inside story, and looked at Lin Yunwan suspiciously.

Before Lin Yunwan could say anything, Ping Ye stood up and said, "Back to the son, back to the eldest aunt, only Master Longbow came to greet Madam in the morning, and Madam brought Master Longbow along the way. If Master Qing came to say hello, today's Madam And brought him along."

It was only then that Lu Zhengliu remembered that when he went to pick up Lin Yunwan, Brother Qing didn't go to pay his respects to his aunt.

Lu Jia didn't buy it.

Brother Qing is her real nephew.

"I heard that Brother Qing is studying with her husband in the front yard. It's hard work at such a young age, and it's normal to be negligent occasionally. Don't be too harsh on a child as a aunt."

Lin Yunwan said indifferently: "Auntie is right, it's because I didn't do well enough—Ping Ye, go and tell Mr. Zhang that Young Master Qing is going to see a guest today, so ask him to take two days off."

Ping Ye turned around and left.

She came back soon, and said with a strange expression: "Mr. Zhang knows that there are important guests at home, and he has given Young Master Qing a holiday."

Lu Jia asked, "Since we're on vacation, what about the others?"

Ping Ye couldn't figure out the reason, she wondered: "The boy next to him said that he went to the cousin girl's courtyard, and the servant has already been called."

Lu Zhengliu's heart tightened.

Didn't I tell her not to see Brother Qing at this time? Why didn't she listen!

"Cousin girl? Since when did you have a cousin girl at home?"

Lu Jia found it funny and laughed out loud.

Lin Yunwan said lightly: "My aunt doesn't know, she is the old lady's distant niece. She has been brought back to the house for a long time, and she lives in the side courtyard."

Lu Jia said: "Since they are all relatives, you don't want to bring your cousin over, so you can talk together."

Lu Zhengliu couldn't sit still anymore. He said that he suddenly remembered that he still had something to do and couldn't stay. He was afraid that Lu Jia would lose his sense of what to say, so he looked at her and said, "I heard from my grandmother that my cousin is sick and can't leave the yard. Elder sister , don't worry about her anymore."

Lu Jia felt puzzled.

Why did my younger brother suddenly target her?

Lu Zheng wandered away from Wei's courtyard, and went directly to the side courtyard where Ge Baoer lived.

His face was cold and frightening.
