Chapter 274: Tea Controversy, After Dinner
After greeting, Lu Jintang stuck out his tongue mischievously and quickly explained: "Mother, look at what you said, I didn't mean that. It's just that I'm really too sleepy. If you could be so kind as to skip the tea service for me and let me go back to my room to catch up on my sleep, that would be great!" As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawned again. He looked listless and weak.
Seeing this, Mother Lu shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She feigned anger and said, "You child, you are always talking nonsense. Serving tea is a courtesy, how can you just skip it? It's really outrageous." After saying this, she turned to look at Yang Mingxi who was standing beside her and said softly, "Xi'er, don't take this kid's nonsense to heart. He's probably still asleep and talking nonsense in his sleep."
Yang Mingxi smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, but more of a doting look towards Lu Jintang. She nodded slightly, indicating that she didn't care.
"It's already so late, who's still asleep? What are you talking in your sleep?" Old Master Lu said as he walked in.
Lu Jintang and Yang Mingxi smiled and hurriedly said in unison in the direction where Old Master Lu came in, "Good morning, Grandpa."
Before they finished their greetings, Old Master Lu, who was walking towards the first person, gently shook his hand and said with a kind smile, "No need to be so polite, Tang boy. Come and bring your wife and offer us all some tea! It's almost time for morning exercises." Then he sat down next to Old Lady Lu as he spoke.
Lu Jintang quickly responded, reaching out to grab Yang Mingxi's hand, his movements gentle and swift. Lu Da, standing nearby, strode forward, his hands steadily holding an exquisite tray upon which sat several steaming cups of fragrant tea. Lu Jintang carefully took the tray, then stood shoulder to shoulder with Yang Mingxi, slowly approaching Old Lady Lu and Old Master Lu.
Old Master Lu raised his hand slightly, signaling the maids beside him to serve each person a cup of fragrant tea. After everyone received their cups, he nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "Let's toast together. As for the best wishes from you elders for the newlyweds, please leave them to Master Lu. Okay, Tang'er, you two can finish your tea and return to your rooms!"
Hearing this, Lu Jintang obediently raised his head and drank the cup of hot tea in his hand. Then, with a smile on his face, he bowed to each of the family members present and thanked them one by one: "Thank you, Grandpa. May Grandma and Grandpa live long and healthy lives, may my parents be healthy, may my brother and sister-in-law be happy and content, and may my sister remain young forever. We will take our leave now." After saying this, he gently tugged at Yang Mingxi's sleeve.
Perhaps because of nervousness, or perhaps because Lu Jintang pulled too hard, Yang Mingxi suddenly stumbled and fell forward. At this critical moment, Lu Jintang was quick to act, suddenly stretching out his arms and hugging Yang Mingxi tightly.
He looked down at the frightened beauty in his arms, his eyes full of concern and doting, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Then, he smiled slightly, holding Yang Mingxi and walked out of the courtyard steadily.
"Haha, it seems that our youngest brother is really good!" Lu Changfeng joked with a smile on his face, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Lu Changchun on the side also echoed: "That's right, young people are at the age of full of vigor, especially on the wedding night and the bridal chamber, so they are naturally passionate. It's natural that it should be so!" As he spoke, he showed a meaningful smile.
At this time, Lu Deneng suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Uncle Yao is so powerful!" His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Lu Jinyan frowned slightly as he looked at his younger brothers, who were enthusiastically teasing his youngest brother. He couldn't help but feel the urge to scold them. However, when he turned around and saw his father and grandfather sitting next to the main seat, the thought that had just emerged instantly dissipated without a trace.
Father Lu was obviously aware of the current situation. He looked at his eldest son calmly, shook his head gently, and signaled him not to say anything more.
Lu Jinyan nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood his father's meaning. So, he could only helplessly watch his brothers continue to make fun of his youngest brother while he stood aside silently.
"Father, let's go for morning exercise." Father Lu stood up slowly with a smile on his face. He stood as straight as a pine tree and spoke in a loud and powerful voice to Old Master Lu who was sitting in the main seat.
Old Master Lu nodded slightly, a look of relief on his face. He responded, "Alright, let's go! Look at these kids, they're so energetic. They really should exercise more." His deep, wise gaze swept over his grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were playing and frolicking nearby. He continued, "Whoever just made fun of Tang boy, after today's morning exercise, everyone will run an additional 20 miles with a weight on their back! Yan'er will be in charge of supervising this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Lu took the lead and walked out of the courtyard without hesitation. His steps were steady and light, as if the years had not left too many traces on him.
When the people who had just been making a fuss heard this, they immediately started complaining like eggplants hit by frost.
At that moment, Lu Jincong, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Anyone who says one more word of nonsense will be fined an additional twenty miles!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately shut up, not daring to utter a single complaint, fearing further punishment. Then, like ignited rockets, they rushed towards the training ground.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling living room became quiet, with only a group of married women remaining. It turned out that in the Lu family, even girls were required to participate in morning exercises, so there were no young women present at the moment.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of suffocation!" After all the morning exercisers had left, Lu Jinge, who had been suppressing her laughter, finally burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that she fell backwards and shook herself, as if she had seen something extremely funny.
Seeing this, Mother Lu couldn't help but shook her head and said with a doting look on her face: "What's so funny? You are still so childish. Think about yourself back then, weren't you also so miserable?" As she spoke, Mother Lu gently patted Lu Jinge's shoulder, her eyes full of love and tenderness.
"Yes, yes, your youngest son is the best." Lu Jinge said to Lu's mother with a smile.
"Okay, everyone go back and rest! Don't disturb Tang'er's yard within three days." Old Mrs. Lu remembered what her husband said when she got up today, and felt sorry for the two newlyweds, so she gave them some instructions.
"Yes, grandma, then the granddaughters-in-law will take their leave first." After the daughters-in-law and daughters of the Lu family respectfully bowed to Grandma Lu, they slowly left the room.
After they left, Mother Lu could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, and she said with a slightly trembling voice: "Oh, these two children have suffered so much! I don't know how many troubles will be waiting for them in the future... I just hope that our Jiuer can get better soon!" As she spoke, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Old Mrs. Lu standing by nodded slightly in agreement and said with emotion: "That's right, Axi is a really good girl. She is sensible and well-behaved, and can help the family at critical times." After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other at the same time, and their eyes seemed to convey some indescribable emotion.
Then, they both turned their gazes toward the distance, as if, through the layers of buildings, they could glimpse the storms that lay ahead. For this newlywed couple, what challenges and tribulations awaited them? Could they overcome these difficulties together and embrace a life of happiness? At this moment, no one could offer a definitive answer.
