LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 8 The Qin Family Visits
Chapter 8
Lv Songli woke up from a nap and took people to clean up the yard inside and out.
Xie Zhan and the original owner's families have been engaged for many years, and they have been in normal contact over the years. Every New Year and the original owner's birthday, the Xie family would send New Year gifts and birthday gifts, including food, daily necessities and playthings. Of course, the Lu family also had gifts in return.
Jiang knew that her daughter valued Xie Zhan as her fiancé very much, so she gave her daughter many gifts except food from the gifts sent by the Xie family. These items were well preserved and collected by the original owner, and even if they were taken out for use, they were used very lovingly.
Lv Songli is not the original owner, and she can't feel any pity for these low-value toys. It's not necessary to sweep them out, and they are not worth much if they are sold second-hand. They can only be put into a cage and put in a corner. Once the matter with the Xie family is settled, they will all be awarded to the servants.
Lu Songli also found the purse embroidered by the original owner for Xie Zhan, the fan she made, and the high-quality wolf-hair brushes she had exchanged for in the house... Each one was very attentive. The trigger for her to decide to clean up the yard was a set of underwear that the original owner secretly made for Xie Zhan!
Now she lives in this yard, and she can't tolerate these things being an eyesore in front of her.
Lu Songli decided to give the high-quality wolf-hair brush to her father! Her father is worthy of using such a good brush, not Xie Zhan. This set of semi-finished products was given to Mo Bing, who asked her to find a handy maid to modify it and planned to give it to her younger brother Lu Mingzhi to wear. There was no way, the material used was Hangzhou silk, which was very expensive, and she was reluctant to throw it away. Forget it, she thought about it, or open the warehouse, take out the good materials accumulated by the original owner, make one for each family member, and send them out during the New Year. Otherwise, it would be too strange to just give her brother a set of underwear.
Since Lu Songli decided to clean up her residence, the servants in her yard began to get busy. After she dealt with those annoying things, she had nothing to do, so she wanted to find a book to read.
She checked the original owner's bookshelf and found that there were only a few books on it, and even the books were covered with dust. She flipped through them and found that they were all "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Female Precepts". The only book "Strange Stories of Mountains and Rivers" was placed at the bottom. There were two storybooks, both of which were about good wives and good mothers. She took a look and threw them aside. After searching her memory, Lu Songli knew the origin of these books. Except for "Strange Stories of Mountains and Rivers" which was given by her brother, the other books were given or recommended by the original owner's group of sisters who had played well with Zhao Yutan before. The excuse was that she would need them when she became the eldest lady of the Xie family in the future, and the original owner regarded them as treasures.
Lu Songli didn't know what to say, so she simply took a fishing rod and a wooden bucket to her own pond to fish, just to relax. Mo Bing hurriedly followed.
She had just caught four or five palm-sized fish weighing 700-800 grams when she saw housekeeper Chen and his servant hurrying by.
Mo Bing called out to them, "Uncle Chen!"
Housekeeper Chen stopped and noticed that his second daughter was fishing. He immediately smiled and said, "Second daughter is fishing with Mo Bing?" He glanced at the wooden barrel and saw several fish in it. He thought that the second daughter's fishing skills were good.
"Well, Uncle Chen will take two when he comes back. These fish are not big, but they look fat. The key is that they are alive and kicking. The meat must be very tender." Lu Songli was wearing a veil hat. In this era without sunscreen, sun protection is really important.
"Okay, I'll take two home later. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Second daughter, you guys can have fun." He kept walking while talking.
"Uncle Chen, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Mo Bing asked after chasing him.
"The Qin family has sent an invitation to the master, and they want to visit him. They are waiting outside the gate." Do you think it's urgent?
Mo Bing nodded, "Oh, I see." It's indeed urgent.
When Lu Songli heard it, the Qin family? Is it the Qin family that Zhao Yutan is engaged to? She felt that her guess was right. The Qin family would come to visit at such a sensitive time. Lu Songli immediately became interested and couldn't help but want to see who the other party was. In the original book, the original owner was miserable, but the Qin brothers were not much better. One earned great honor for the heroine but lost his life, and the other was obviously a big victim, who was really sucked dry by the hero and heroine.
"Mo Bing, you continue fishing here, I'll go find my mother." Lu Songli put the fishing rod in Mo Bing's hand, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards the main courtyard leisurely.
Mo Bing subconsciously tightened the fishing rod, looked at the second lady who had already walked away, and hurriedly asked someone to catch up.
Not long after Lu Songli arrived at the main courtyard, the Qin family arrived. Mrs. Qin was too ill to come, so Qin Sheng's eldest brother Qin Heng brought him here.
The two were received by her parents.
Jiang placed her in the inner hall of the flower hall and did not let her show her face.
The Qin family's intention was very simple. First, they came with gifts to express their condolences to Lu Songli, the injured, and second, they expressed their willingness to take responsibility for the matter.
"In this matter, the second lady of your family and A Sheng are both innocent. It was an accident that she fell into the water. Qin Sheng did nothing wrong in saving her, but they both suffered an undeserved disaster because of it, and their marriage had twists and turns."
"It has come to this point. After all, it was Qin Sheng who had physical contact with the second lady of Lu. If the Lu family needs us to take responsibility, we are willing to do so. If not, we will not bother and do everything according to the needs of the Lu family."
Qin Heng's words made the three people of the Lu family feel very comfortable. Look, what is responsibility, this is it!
But seeing Qin Sheng's unwilling attitude, Lu Desheng felt blocked again and asked, "What about the Zhao family?"
Qin Heng smiled, "The Zhao family is not a problem. Our Qin family has agreed to cancel the engagement between the two families." As he said that, he also reached out and rubbed his brother's head, "Don't mind, Lord Lu and Madam Lu. He was just broken off this morning and he is still a little bit upset." His voice was full of apology.
Qin Sheng dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Qin Heng's words really made the Lu family couple put down the unhappiness in their hearts caused by Qin Sheng's attitude.
Lu Desheng sighed. Indeed, he had seen Qin Sheng riding a horse and parading in the streets with fine clothes and high spirits. Such a young man was broken off. In the end, he and his daughter were the most innocent. He thought again that the Qin family was so straightforward, worthy of being born in a general family. But their family is a daughter, it is easy to suffer losses, so it is inevitable to be cautious and hesitant.
Qin Heng's voice is very pleasant, and he speaks neither slowly nor quickly.
Lu Songli couldn't help but pull the curtain slightly and look out, wanting to take a look.
The general's five senses are sharp. When she looked over, the person over there immediately noticed it, and a pair of sharp eyes looked over at her.
Lu Songli felt her scalp tingling. No, is this Qin Sheng? The light was too dim last night, and her mind was not on him at the time, so she didn't look at him carefully at all.
She didn't expect Qin Sheng to have a face that was both good and evil. His facial features were thin and stylish, and his face was very angular. This kind of appearance can be very good, but it can also be very bad. The narrow nose bridge, coupled with the cramped distance between the eyebrows, gives people a feeling that you are locked when looking at people, and the sense of attack is very strong. My God, Qin Sheng's appearance, coupled with rimless glasses, is simply a gentleman who walked out of the urban literature. She has seen a photo of a certain uncle's ceiling when he was young, and he looks similar to what he looks like now. With such an appearance, when he is older and is immersed in the aphrodisiac of power, he feels like a fierce villain.
It was that woman. Recognizing Lv Songli, not an assassin or some other messy person, Qin Sheng's eyes suddenly became less sharp. But soon he frowned again. Why did this woman look at him like this? It was as if she had just met him.
Looking at his face, Lv Songli was stunned for a while.
And Qin Sheng glared at her when he saw her like this, and kept looking at her? Shameless!
Lv Songli:...
This face with this personality is really a waste of natural gifts. Lv Songli turned away in disgust.
Lv Songli moved his eyes slightly and fell on the person next to him. This slightly older man should be his eldest brother Qin Heng. He has a long face, a long and thin middle face, and a mature temperament, taking into account elegance and perseverance.
At this time, Qin Heng also noticed something and looked over inconspicuously. Seeing Lv Songli, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had guessed her identity, and then smiled at her comfortingly.
They were caught, and they were still brothers. Lu Songli pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled awkwardly, then hid aside, trying to pretend that nothing had happened. As long as I was not embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.
There was no one else in the flower hall. The Qin brothers' reactions were seen by Lu's father and mother. They knew that they had discovered their daughter hiding inside, and the Qin brothers' reactions were also relatively friendly.
The Qin brothers did not stay for long before they said goodbye. Lu Desheng went to see them off in person. Obviously, compared with the Xie family, the Qin family received better treatment.
