Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Chapter 960: Technical Content Carved from the Same Mold

Three days later, the capital city became much calmer.

Many officials were exiled because of Xiao Zihong's involvement.

There were many new faces in the court this time, and Liu Chenwen was also promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Lu Mansion was also very busy today, and the atmosphere was full of joy. Lord Lu and his wife brought Lu Zhixuan and Lu Yayun to the Lu Mansion early.

In the room, Mrs. Lu held her daughter's hand and kept watching her, reminding her to be more careful during the confinement period, otherwise she would develop a disease that would be a lifelong problem.

"Don't worry, mother. I know everything, and mother-in-law instructs the servants every day."

Mrs. Lu's brows showed a smile. Her daughter's life was much better than hers. Not only did her husband love her, but her mother-in-law was also very kind to her.

At this time, Lu Yayun beside her said sourly: "Sister is lucky, I don't know what kind of family my sister will marry in the future."

What Mrs. Lu hated most was her behavior. She was just like her mother, not learning good things.

Jingyi smiled slightly, tilted her head and said softly, "I heard a few days ago that her mother had introduced her to a bastard son of a fifth-rank official. Although he was a bastard son, he came from a scholarly family with a good family tradition."

"My sister is very ambitious. I think my aunt can find a good family for you."

Jingyi's words made her feel depressed immediately. What kind of concubine could have such good connections? She was obviously embarrassing her.

"Sister, are you making fun of me? Although I am a concubine's daughter, but..."

Listening to her whining, Mrs. Lu became annoyed and her face darkened. She turned around and asked her when Jingyi had made fun of her. No matter what kind of families she had found for her before, they all said that she, as a stepmother, was not attentive. In that case, she should just leave her to her aunt.

"Why are you complaining again at this time? Today is the third birthday of your eldest sister's child, and we are in Lu's residence right now, so you better restrain yourself."

After she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu glared at her, then turned around, took her daughter's hand and started talking about the child. The maid behind her also brought the gifts that Mrs. Lu and her husband had prepared for the child.

"Mom, this..."

Lu Yayun leaned her head to look into the brocade box. Mrs. Lu had already noticed it out of the corner of her eye, but she just glanced at her and didn't bother to pay any attention to her.

"What is this? This is what mother prepared for the child. Take it."

Jingyi threw herself on her mother's shoulders and thanked her quietly. She knew that her father was originally a fifth-rank official in Beijing, with a low salary, and he relied entirely on his mother's dowry shop for support. She felt really bad that her father had prepared such an expensive item for her child this time.

"Mom, I'm here." Lu Anping strode into the room in a dark blue brocade robe.

When Mrs. Lu saw that it was her son-in-law, she nodded with a smile on her face.

Lu Yayun felt very uncomfortable when she saw the imposing Lu Anping. She had also heard her father say before that even though the old general had handed over the military power, in the eyes of the emperor, the Lu family had always been loyal and favored ministers.

Seeing how glorious the life of the general's wife was in front of Lu Jingyi, she bit her lower lip and bowed to Lu Anping: "Meet my brother-in-law."

Lu Anping glanced at her, then said "hmm", and walked towards his wife.

As he spoke, the wet nurse carried the child to the front hall. He bowed to his mother-in-law and said that his father-in-law and grandfather had already gone to the front hall, so he came to invite his mother-in-law.

"Okay, let's go together. Jingyi, you have to take good care of her, okay?"

Before leaving, Mrs. Lu did not forget to give her daughter some instructions.

Lu Yayun glanced at her elder sister on the bed, then smiled and called out to Lu Anping in front of her, "Brother-in-law, wait for me."

The maid beside Jingyi looked at Jingyi angrily, only to see her mistress frowning but not saying anything.

"Miss, look at the second young lady's appearance. It's really infuriating."

Before Jingyi could say anything after the little maid complained, she saw the nanny beside her glaring at the maid with an unhappy expression.

"Miss, you are in confinement after childbirth. Why do you bring everything up in front of her?"

"I am also angry..."

Jingyi smiled slightly and persuaded the two maids that if Lu Yayun wanted to catch her man's eye, she would have to be reborn.

The little maid burst out laughing.

At this time, Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen came late to the front hall and bowed to everyone to apologize.

"Father and mother-in-law, Xiaoxu is late. I just happened to have some things to deal with before I left."

"It's okay, it's okay, just right, come in."

Liu looked at Mrs. Lu and her husband with a smile on her face, then smiled and said to Chu Haochen and his wife.

Everyone in the room was also in high spirits.

Lu Qingqing was the first to shake off Chu Haochen's hand and ran to the baby in the nanny's arms.

"Oh my, this little kid seems to have gotten stronger! He changes every day."

Lu Qingqing was talking to her grandmother beside her, and her grandmother was also sitting next to Old Lady Lu and chatting.

"That's right, girl, come here and let grandma have a look."

As she spoke, Old Madam Liu stretched out her hand towards Lu Qingqing and shouted.

She came to her grandmother's side obediently and started chatting with her with a smile. She leaned over and whispered a few words in her grandmother's ear. Suddenly, her grandmother's eyes lit up and she asked her in surprise:

"Is what the girl said true?"

Lu Qingqing curled her red lips and nodded. She learned this from Xiao Ziyi.

At this time, Grandma Xi was heard shouting loudly, and the third-day bathing ceremony began.

The little guy was probably scared, and he started crying with a loud cry. The loud cry immediately made everyone laugh. Lu Anping looked at his son with a worried look on his face.

"Oh, the young master is so confident when crying. He will definitely be a man who can accomplish great things like his father in the future."

When Mr. Lu heard what Grandma Xi said, he immediately stroked his beard happily and shouted, "Reward!"

This made Grandma Xi very happy, and she said a bunch of auspicious words.

Next came the basin licking ceremony for relatives and friends. Lu Qingqing glanced at Chu Haochen beside her, only to see him nodding with a faint smile on his face.

Lu Qingqing threw a piece of mutton-fat white jade into the copper basin.

Chu Haochen threw in a gold ingot immediately after, and then a steady stream of valuables were thrown towards the copper basin, making the basin "ding-dong" sound. The sound continued, and Grandma Xi's auspicious words never stopped.

After the third day of the bath, all the guests stayed at Lu's house for dinner. Mr. Lu was so happy today that he drank a few more glasses.

In the end, even Old Lady Liu was left in the Lu Mansion.

Grandpa Lu flipped through the book for several days before he gave the child a name that he thought sounded good.

"The road is endless!"

When Lu Qingqing heard this, she sighed for the little baby and said, "Well, so be it, it's endless. At least there is still a nickname."

That nickname had already been given by her father. When Qingqing heard the nickname, she held her forehead and sighed. They really are father and son!

"Big"
