Lu Mingyu planned to draw a small farmyard for his grandfather to bring back his grandfather's good memories of his grandmother, but she painted it several times in a row, but she couldn't satisfy herself. The reason was that Lu Mingyu could not imagine the yard where his grandmother lived at that time. Although she had lived in a village in the suburbs, how could ordinary farmers be able to compare with the villages of wealthy families?
Since his grandfather had returned to the front yard, Lu Mingyu asked Ganlu to bring paper and pen and rush to Ning'an Hall with his short legs. Along the way, Lu Mingyu was thinking about how to coax his grandmother to describe his hometown, but he didn't want to step into Ning'an Hall. When he saw that the yard was empty and the maids were hiding, only Madam Lan was waiting outside the main hall, which was a bit of a wardrobe.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingyu asked strangely.
Madam Lan glanced at the room and sighed in a low voice: "The old man seems to be quarreling, the old lady cried. The old slave was afraid that the maids would gossip when they heard it, so she sent it off."
Lu Mingyu's heart sank and looked at Madam Lan questioningly: "Why didn't Madam persuade grandmother?"
The little girl frowned and scolded people for being quite good, as if the girl who was only interested in playing yesterday had grown up overnight. Nanny Lan looked at Lu Mingyu in surprise, then lowered her head to defend herself: "The old slave persuaded me, but the old lady couldn't listen and knocked me out. The fourth girl came by coincidence. The old lady loved you the most. Go and persuade me quickly?"
Lu Mingyu became more and more shocked. Her grandmother was weak-hearted. Now she couldn't even persuade her most trusted Madam Lan around her. What did her grandfather do?
Asked Ganlu to wait outside first, Lu Mingyu rushed in alone.
In the inner room, Zhu was lying on the bed, crying so hard that she felt that she couldn't survive. Her daughter was very popular, and when she went out to be a guest, she couldn't help but praise her daughter, but she never asked her daughter to be the first to fight for everything. Why did Lu Zhan say that? After her son's eyes were in trouble, she didn't like to come to her side. She only had one daughter left. Lu Zhan was cruel to separate the mother and daughter?
Zhu felt uncomfortable. She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong, so that her husband disliked her so much.
"grandmother……"
The little granddaughter's uneasy voice came from behind him. Zhu was shocked and grabbed the corner of the quilt and wiped his eyes randomly. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw that the little granddaughter had climbed up. He looked at her with his head tilted. His big, moist eyes were clean and clear, and his worries about his grandmother were clearly visible. Zhu didn't know why, but he felt more and more aggrieved in his heart. He was afraid of being ridiculed and did not dare to pour bitterness with the nanny around him and his daughter-in-law. He cried to his granddaughter, "A Nuan, your grandfather wants to lock me up and not let me see your aunt..."
Lu Mingyu was startled and his first reaction was that he didn't believe it. While using a veil to wipe his grandmother's eyes, he whispered: "Impossible, grandfather is not that kind of person, grandmother did nothing wrong... Grandmother, don't cry first. Madam Lan said you had a fight with grandfather, why did you start arguing?"
Grandfather may be a little confused about his wives and concubines, but he always speaks truthfully and understands right and wrong in major matters. Lu Mingyu does not believe that his grandfather will do such a thing.
Zhu learned her husband's words in tears.
Lu Mingyu was angry. She was present at the time and knew the whole story very well. Grandma was not wrong at all. What kind of fire did grandfather make?
Looking at his grandmother who was heartbroken to cry, Lu Mingyu thought of her previous life.
After her mother died, her grandmother almost lost half of her life with heartache. As soon as the Hu people invaded Liaodong, her grandfather was busy with court affairs and could only comfort her grandmother when she came back at night. However, her grandmother took care of her and took her by her side during the day and night. After comforting her grandmother, she returned to the front yard. Lu Mingyu had just lost her mother and lived a dim life, without paying attention to the people and things around her. When she felt the food in her mouth tasted good again, she finally accepted the fact that her mother died, and her grandmother had changed.
Her grandmother, who was rich and majestic but weak, became really strong, no longer caring about whether her grandfather came or not, and her thoughts were on her and her aunt. The emperor took a fancy to her aunt, but her grandmother did not want her aunt to enter the palace, but the grandfather could not disobey the emperor's intentions, and her grandmother could only accept it. Something happened to her, her grandmother cried and turned white, and then became strong again, swearing to find a good family for her.
Lu Mingyu liked Chu Sui, and Chu Sui came to his house to propose marriage. Both his father and grandfather expressed opposition. It was because of his grandmother who knew that she and Chu Sui were in love and came forward to fight for her. Then his grandfather and father agreed.
After living for two lives, Lu Mingyu should be the one who knows her grandmother best. As long as she works hard and persuades her properly, her grandmother will definitely become what she looks like later. Like the old ladies of other noble families, she only cares about her back house, only cares about her children and grandchildren around her, and does not care whether her husband is outside.
But Lu Mingyu has experienced the feeling of loving someone. Grandma can forget her grandfather, but the process of forgetting is definitely heartbreaking. So Lu Mingyu wants to give her grandfather another chance. If she persuades her, her grandfather still refuses to be nice to her grandmother, then let him find his old aunt. Grandma has both children and her granddaughter, so she doesn't care about an old man.
"Grandma, I'll get a towel, you can wipe your face."
When the elders finally stopped crying, Lu Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said obediently.
Zhu nodded and lowered her head, not wanting her granddaughter to see her embarrassed face.
There was water in the room, and Lu Mingyu moved the copper basin. The water inside was only two fingers deep, which was not heavy for a seven-year-old girl. Zhu was embarrassed when he saw it and asked his granddaughter to put down the copper basin. She quickly put on the soft-soled embroidered shoes, put the copper basin on the face wash rack, and simply lifted her face.
I wiped it clean, my eyes were red, my face was gone, and my originally gentle and beautiful face was revealed.
Lu Mingyu was stunned. Her grandmother was completely different from her makeup.
As a traitor, Lu Mingyu seemed to understand why his grandfather gave up his grandmother and ran to Aunt Zhou, but she couldn't help but want to confirm again, "Grandmother, do grandfather prefer you to look like you don't dress up?"
When she really remembered in her previous life, her grandmother became strong and her majestic makeup was very suitable, but now her grandmother dressed up like this really backfired. She wasted her natural good looks and could not stand up to the airs of the Lady Shangshu.
"Why do you ask this?" Zhu touched her face, felt guilty inexplicably, and immediately defended herself: "But I am the old lady in the family. If you don't mention your two aunts, there are so many maids and nannies, how can my grandmother behaves without dressing up? You have to clean up your clothes when you go out as a guest. A Nuan, grandmother is not just for me. It doesn't matter if her grandmother makes people laugh, but you can't let your father and aunt get angry because of me."
The more you talk, the more confident you become.
Lu Mingyu smiled bitterly. Even if her grandmother dressed like this, the people outside did not look down on her because of this. The official wife could use her food, clothing, housing and transportation as a topic of comparison. She looked at her makeup and appearance. Her grandmother now had a very good look, but the two were not matched, so she became four or five points, and she would still be ridiculed in her back.
"Grandma, sit down, I'll dress you up."
With a moving heart, Lu Mingyu thought of doing it, pulling her grandmother to the bed and sitting. She quickly brought a few things from the dressing table, and dressing up her grandmother in a good manner. Zhu's mind was simple, and she didn't think so much about it. She sat obediently and let her granddaughter fiddled with it, just pretending to make the child happy.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Mingyu finished painting, walked a few steps away and took a look. He was very satisfied and raised the mirror to show his grandmother.
Zhu looked at the mirror half-doubtedly, and was stunned when he saw it, and touched her face in disbelief. The makeup painted by her little granddaughter was very light, but the person in the mirror had a rosy complexion and bright eyes, which looked younger than that of Madam Lan. The only disadvantage was that she looked less majestic.
"This, will others think I'm easy to bully after seeing it?" Zhu asked in a complicated mood. When she first entered Beijing, she was almost the same as she is now, and she was often ridiculed and ridiculed when she went out.
"No, outsiders will only think that my grandmother is approachable and will only envy her for her youth and beauty." Lu Mingyu walked to her grandmother and said seriously, "Grandmother and noble ladies are divided into several types, some are arrogant, some are fat, some are sarcastic, some are sarcastic, some are harsh, some are amiable. Grandmother, I like you to dress like this, and I believe my grandfather is the same."
Zhu lowered her head, and her husband said this, but she thought her husband was a big man, and she didn't know how to dress the most. Her ideas were very different from those of her wives. In addition, Nanny Lan also stood on her side, and she has been...
Did she choose the wrong way?
"Grandma, how did you and grandfather meet back then?" Seeing the elder calm down, Lu Mingyu hugged his grandmother's arm and asked with a smile, "Grandma, did you live in the countryside before? Tell me what your family looks like, A Nuan wants to know."
The little girl was innocent. Zhu looked at her granddaughter's white and tender face, and her eyes gradually softened. She recalled softly: "Grandma's home, my grandmother lives at the foot of the mountain. The house was made of stones picked up by the river. The mud was blocked in the cracks of the stones, and the wind could not blow in in winter..."

The sun is westward, and there are people cooking breakfasts, and smoke has risen above the roof.
Lu Mingyu trotted to the place he had made an appointment before, and saw that his aunt Lu Yun and three sisters had arrived. Seeing her, the second girl Lu Huaiyu glared at her eyes and complained angrily, "What's wrong with you, A Nuan? She is a quarter of an hour late than the time we set!"
"I just finished drawing, I'm sorry." Lu Mingyu's face turned red and he sincerely admitted his mistake.
Lu Huaiyu snorted and aimed at the scroll in her hand, "What did you draw? Show us!"
The other three girls also looked curious.
Lu Mingyu unfolded the scroll openly.
Lu Huaiyu looked down and saw that there was only a shabby stone courtyard on the painting. He was relieved that the fourth sister's gift could not be the first, so she had a little hope. Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyu suddenly felt pleasing to Lu Mingyu and happily held Lu Mingyu's arm, "Let's go, let's go and find grandfather."
Lu Mingyu nodded, and the five little girls each took gifts and walked towards the yard of the male owner of the Lu family.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhan and the guest came out of the study and took the guest to the screen wall. Suddenly, he heard a few tender voices:
"What do you think grandfather is doing?"
"Will my grandfather think we're disturbing him?"
"What should I do if my grandfather doesn't like eating osmanthus cake?"
Lu Zhan heard it, his granddaughters opposite him, and he glanced at the guest with his face as usual, as cold as frost.
Lu Zhan was about to explain, but the girls had already turned around and were frightened when they saw them.
A little girl was called Cute, and five little girls with pink and jade stood together. The word Cute was not enough to describe it. As majestic as Lu Zhan, the corners of his lips were raised, and he waved his hand and called the girls over, "This is the Prince of Chu, you call me..." As he spoke, his eyes swept over his granddaughter. Lu Zhan paused and said, "Call me, cousin, Ajun called Cousin."
After saying that, he pointed at Lu Mingyu and introduced it to the guest alone, "This is A Nuan, Congjian's niece."
Lu Mingyu's uncle, the second son of Prince Zhuang, was named Xiao Congjian.
Chu Xing looked over with the flow, and his eyes fell accurately on the little girl standing in the middle. The seven or eight-year-old girl was cute and small, wearing a peach pink skirt and a pair of wool buns. Her peach blossom eyes were big and watery, her face was red in color, and her nose was straight, which could vaguely tell the stunning posture in the future.
It turns out that my younger brother and sister looked like this when they were young.
Chu Xingshou withdrew his gaze because he seemed to be born with a cold face like Lu Zhan. With such a faint glance, he seemed indifferent and alienated.
And Lu Mingyu was still shocked by meeting his uncle...the former uncle.
