C16 (1/2)
This is the best grandpa in Mingxuan, but why did you ask her to stand up for you?” Cough cough. Although she had always done things with a sense of propriety, having someone backing her up felt really awesome.
Lu Jinjian took a deep breath of the cool morning air. Unable to hold it in, he sneezed.
Rubbing his nose, Lu JinNian looked at Lu Jinghui's coarse shirt, ”But grandfather, you can't just wear this to the Duke's Mansion. Muqi, go to the general's courtyard and get grandfather some suitable clothes to change. I'll first bring Qingwan and Qingyao to report to the aunt that we are going to the Duke's Mansion in Yi.”
”As the direct daughter of the general's estate, you don't have to report to an aunt to come and go.” Lu Jinghui frowned and muttered a sentence. He looked at Lu Qingwan and Lu Qingyao but did not say anything.
Shen Shi's Hibiscus Courtyard.
Looking at the tightly shut courtyard door, Lu JinNian had a bright smile on his face, ”Little Sister Qingwan, what should we say with what little sister's words? It's early in the morning and you're not letting us in. You're not even allowing us to send people in to report that the great general is not at home, so if this sort of thing were to be spread outside, what would happen?
The alluring voice at the end caused Lu Qingwan's heart to tremble, ”Maybe mother likes to sleep.”
How could she be afraid of ghosts? I'm still many years away from being a ghost, and I'm not even afraid of ghosts, so why would I be afraid of you? Someone, open the door.
Lu Qingwan's expression changed and she subconsciously wanted to stop him, but she was interrupted by Lu JinNian, ”Just now in front of my yard, little sister Qingwan seemed as if not letting you into the yard was something shameful. Why is it that her attitude towards auntie is different?
”No, it's not …”
Lu Qingwan was in a difficult situation. She wanted to find the thing that held Lu JinNian, but her underlings really didn't find anything. Or rather, as the direct descendant of the General's Estate, the furnishings in the yard were too simple and crude.
Other than the beds, tables, chairs, and some books, there was nothing else in the garden. If she really stopped Lu Jin Nian from opening the gate, it would seem that she did it on purpose.
In any case, she thought that there wouldn't be anything in Aunt's courtyard. At most, Lu JinNian would want to get back at them because someone else had entered her courtyard. Thus, she didn't try to stop them.
Lu JinNian was satisfied, ”Since that's not the case, then open the door.”
Lu Qingyao looked at Lu JinNian with some misgivings. If she was not mistaken, Lu JinNian had never stepped into Mrs Shen's courtyard and suddenly wanted to pay a visit … ”Elder sister, this aunt is an elder, don't you think …”
Lu JinNian glared at her and smiled without a word.
In Liang Jing City, Lu Qingwan was known as Qin Jue. It could be seen that her zither skills were superb. In addition to her gentle personality, and in the eyes of the fourth prince, she was ranked in the front row.
On the other hand, speaking of Lu Qingyao, she was much more obscure. When it came to her, some might say that she was Lu Qingwan's sister, while the other might say that she was the ugliest girl in the world.
However, from the way things were going, Lu Qingyao was clearly much smarter than Lu Qingwan. She could hide her talents, and she was probably the most dangerous person, because when would she appear and stab someone?
”It's precisely because Aunt is an elder that she wouldn't blame us juniors for opening the gates of the courtyard.” While he was speaking, the gate to the Hibiscus Courtyard had already been opened.
In the center of the courtyard, in a small pond, there were a few small red carp that were puffing bubbles around the withered lotus leaves.
Not to mention anything else, the decorations of the entire courtyard were very artistic.
Lu Jinsheng stroked his chin, ”Aunt's taste is quite good.”
Lu Qingwan and Lu Qingyao looked at each other. They couldn't tell if Lu JinNian's words were sincere or not. After all, the direct daughter's yard was like that, while Aunt's was a bit too luxurious …
Lu JinNian didn't pay attention to what they were thinking, and pointed in a direction, ”Aunt isn't in the yard, she should still be in her room. Come, let's go take a look.”
