Candy cubes crackling

Mama Zhang was working in the yard in the afternoon, and she was vaguely aware of the quarrel between the Marshal and Missy in the garden.She, a servant, has no place to talk about the master's affairs, as long as she doesn't make a move, it's fine to make a fuss. There are too many disputes in the big family, and no one has anything to reason with.

But seeing that it was getting late, the eldest lady was wandering around the street without any time, until dinner was opened at home and the child disappeared, she couldn't help but muttered in her heart.Mama Zhang was worried, so she sneaked into Lu Yarong's yard to have a look, and found that the eldest lady's room was empty, as if it was a desolate scene where someone went to the empty building.She panicked now, and hurriedly stepped on two big feet and ran out to notify Marshal Lu.

In a wealthy area a little far from the city center, there is a luxurious half-mountain villa.At this moment, Lu Yarong led Congtang and stood outside its iron gate, looking at the brightly lit and lively scene inside, hesitated for a moment, put the suitcase in her hand on the ground, and lightly rang the doorbell.

People came to the gate soon. Two big men in black, who looked like bodyguards, stood behind the iron gate. They listened patiently to Lu Yarong's explanation of their visit, nodded, opened the gate, and respectfully invited the mother and son in.

"We'll send you two here." The bodyguards led them to the gate of the inner house and retreated out sensibly. After Lu Yarong thanked them, she opened the brass carved handle in front of her, and took the child and luggage walked in together.

The house is a large open living room. There are no extra furniture such as sofas and coffee tables, and only a layer of gold-edged cashmere carpet is laid in the center.There were two charming girls about seventeen or eighteen years old, one lying on it to play with cats, the other taking a nap cross-legged, both of excellent figure and appearance, when they heard the door knock, they hurriedly put on their wooden clogs and got up to welcome the guests.

Lu Yarong recognized them, so she took the initiative to greet them, "Wen Xiang, Xiao Lian, are you Mrs. Xue at home now?"

Wen Xiang hugged the kitty and nodded, and replied wittily, "Mislo came at just the right time. Our wife was still complaining before dinner, saying that there is no one at home recently."

Xiao Lian saw the two guests whose noses were red from the cold, and asked after her, "Mislo and the young master have come over late for dinner, anyway, Madam is upstairs to eat and rest, see you later."

Lu Yarong herself didn't care, she looked down at her son, Cong Tang hugged her leg limply, looking tired and hungry, so she accepted Xiao Lian's kindness and asked her to lead the way to the dining room for dinner.

Both Wen Xiang and Xiao Lian were girls who were brought up by Mrs. Xue when they were young. They could be regarded as half of the young ladies in the family, and they would follow behind in the social circle to hone their skills.Therefore, Mrs. Xue usually did not allow the two of them to go out and show their faces easily. This time, suddenly someone came to the house, and the two maids got a new conversation partner. They never stopped talking all the way.

Lu Yarong knew that they were very fresh, so she took the trouble to chat with them, and heard a lot of interesting things.It is said that the current layout of the living room is because Mrs. Xue suffered a setback in her previous relationship, and in a fit of rage threw all the furniture that the gentleman hangs around into the garbage dump at the foot of the mountain, which made the house so empty now. swing.

When Wen Xiang said this, she couldn't help but rubbed her stomach and laughed, "Hey!" Xiao Lian caught up and twisted her mouth, "It's not something glorious, why is it worth making a joke about? Be careful to tell Madam to hear it, come here Uncover the skin of you damn girl."

Wen Xiang dodged her hand in a panic, and begged softly, "My dear girl, I respect you as sister 'Nunyu', please forgive me."

Xiao Lian blushed when she heard this, and the more she refused to obey, she clamored to show her some color.

"What's the reason, I don't understand?" Lu Yarong asked curiously, with a smile on her lips.

"When we first came to the house, my wife proposed a name for us. One is warm and the other is nephrite. It just makes a pair. But at that time, my wife took over a very beautiful son, and there was a coincidence in the name. 'Yu', I just bumped into each other, and my wife changed my name to Xiao Lian." Xiao Lian explained the reason to Lu Yarong embarrassingly, and finally said to herself, "It's a good thing I didn't call it off, it was It’s okay to change it.”

"It's hard for you to remember it for so long, and I don't know if you're thinking about people or jade?" Wen Xiang giggled, leaned over and gently pushed Nephrite's shoulder.Before she got up, she handed the cat kitten to the other party, and said coquettishly, "I have to settle the score later, I'm going to ask my wife to come down to meet the guests, I don't have time to be beaten by you."

She trotted upstairs on her wooden clogs, and after a while, she called Mrs. Xue down.

"Rong Rong, if you want to come over, just make a phone call and send someone to pick it up, why bother to make this trip by yourself."

Madam Xue was wearing a velvet dark green nightdress, covering her red lips with her snow-white hands, and yawned lazily.The lace on the leader is complicated, which complements the newly scalded water waves on the head. Standing in front of the long table full of pastries, it looks like a classical beauty who has stepped off an oil painting.

"Leaving in a hurry, I don't have time to think so much." Lu Yarong held Cong Tang who was already asleep in her arms, and lowered her head preoccupied.

"Wen Xiang, Xiao Lian, go and tidy up the guest room, and then help Mi Silu put the luggage in."

When Mrs. Xue heard her coming, she guessed the matter half or six.Now that I saw Lu Yarong, I felt her difficulties in words, so I pushed the irrelevant people away, sat down and comforted me, "I have already escaped, so don't worry about unnecessary troubles. You see Seeing that the child is still young, even if he is not for himself, he should make plans for him happily."

"Ma'am, I've made up my mind." Lu Yarong caressed her son's forehead affectionately, and said lightly, "In order to make Zhang Chuwen give up, let's take Congtang to Japan for a few years to live a clean life."

"Alright." Mrs. Xue thought for a moment, then asked with concern, "If you want to go there, can someone take care of your life, travel and other related matters?"

Lu Yarong shook her head and said, "Now I have even offended my mother's family, so I can only do everything myself."

"Is that so..." Mrs. Xue sat on a chair, resting her chin in one hand, standing on the table with the other, tapped her fingertips a few times as if playing a piano, and said, "At that time, if you want to In which city to settle down, I will ask a friend to give you a position as a music teacher at the local women's university, which does not count the attendance assessment. If you have nothing to do, you can pick a few aristocratic ladies and teach them as a private teacher. The salary is very considerable. "

Lu Yarong raised her head flattered, and solemnly thanked Mrs. Xue, "Madam, how troublesome you are...I really deserve it."

"What are you ashamed of? Don't talk about this kind of birth again. It makes me feel unhappy after hearing it." Mrs. Xue pretended to be angry, put her hands around her and gave her a little push, and said with a sigh, "It's rare for me to meet a woman." A bosom friend, if you don’t feel pity for you, how can you fulfill your own will?”

Lu Yarong also knew in her heart that these things were just minor favors for her, and she could not treat them as troublesome ones, so she stopped being polite and accepted Mrs. Xue's kindness gladly.

When the two people cherish each other and talk happily, the Marshal Lu's fury caused a violent commotion in the commander's mansion.

In the big living room of the Lu family, from top to bottom, from the adjutant giving the count to the voice of Li Tao who came in to deliver tea, the facial expressions were not very calm.

"How hard is it to find a woman's house with a child who is not at the height of the table?" Marshal Lu slapped the tea bowl on the table, wishing he could get down and slap each person, "There's nothing you can do, right? I'm fucking going out to find it myself?"

After finishing speaking, he angrily walked out the door, almost bumping head-on with the old housekeeper who hurried in.

"Damn it, why are you running around for me?" Marshal Lu was annoyed by his blocking the way, and he stood there and yelled.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou and the third young master have just rushed back, let's listen to what they say." The old housekeeper secretly wiped the sweat from his hands on the legs of his trousers, and said carefully.

Marshal Lu let out a rough "hum" from his nose, his face softened slightly, and he stopped fussing with him.

"Father, Eldest Sister hasn't left Tianjin yet." Lu Liuyun walked in after Zhou Hengxi, and the two of them had chills on their faces.

Holding the assessment report in his hand, Zhou Hengxi explained to Marshal Lu, "We found Missy's car in the construction shed at the dock. The weather is bad today and all the ships on the river are out of service for repairs. If they missed the passenger ship there, they will have no time to come back." To catch the train."

"As long as people haven't left Tianjin, and we keep an eye on the passage, we don't have to worry about not being able to find the eldest sister and the others." Lu Liuyun stepped forward and respectfully called his father, and said seriously, "Father, where are you?" I beg you one thing before, after you find Eldest Sister and Cong Tang, please respect her opinion no matter what, and stop forcing her to make sacrifices."

Marshal Lu frowned and stood on the spot, looking down at his son with sharp eyes.He, Lu Jinhe, has always been unyielding and unyielding in this life, with a strong body, and he has always only retained a proud posture of ridiculing others and making concessions.Now facing his son's veiled accusations, he asked himself, as a father, he chose the best choice for his child, is this also wrong?

"Father, not everyone is satisfied with the arrangement." Lu Liuyun stood on the spot and looked at him with calm and firm eyes, neither backing down nor panicking.He didn't understand before, because he never loved.Now he understands how to love, whether he treats relatives or lovers, he hopes that those who love him and those he loves can have the right to arrange their feelings fairly.

"Okay, I promise you." Marshal Lu didn't give his son a chance to see his expression clearly, he turned around and left Lu Liuyun with a silent back.Everyone has a heart, he, Lu Jinhe, is doomed not to be a good father in this life, and for the rest, he has to make up for it.
