C42 (2/2)
It was impossible to learn the Lu Family's leadership skills and natural talent based on local conditions. Ji Huai was truly convinced of this, so he became good brothers with Lu Mo Ting. However, there was no lack of habitual competition over the years.
For example, the second year after Lu Mo Ting's marriage, Ji Huai also arranged the marriage. After Lu Mo Ting's family gave birth to a son, Ji Huai worked hard to give birth to a son three years later, and that was Ji Shaohua.
Ji Huai wanted a daughter, a relative of Lu Mo Ting. It was very boring to see a son, and he didn't even have a name for him then. He was called a dog and a dog, a dark history that Ji Shaohua had never erased.
It was only until Lu Jinjian's birth that Ji Huai saw hope again. He immediately changed the name of Ji Gou to Ji Shaohua, Jin Nian, Shaohua. It sounded like a good match, and he even unilaterally set a life goal for his son to take Lu Jinjian as his daughter-in-law.
”So?” Lu Jinsheng opened up his fan to cover half of his face, afraid that someone would notice if he accidentally revealed an expression.
She felt that General Ji Huai had already chased the stars to the level of a Demon Sealer, but it was a bit over the top to bring his son along to chase the stars. Although this era was very conservative, it didn't preach any free love.
However, directly specifying the other half of her son was too unreliable, especially when the target was her.
Hearing Lu JinNian's question, Ji Shaohua suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a burning gaze, ”Jinniang, no, Miss Lu and I are childhood friends!”
Then, he lowered his head in embarrassment, making Lu JinNian feel that it was rare to see such a thing.
Huh? Plum blossom? How could she not know?
How could someone like Lu JinNian, who was both rational and casual, and who was even more calm, be able to understand? He went from a foolish child to a blooming flower, and his father constantly poured in a name filled with ignorance, confusion, and anticipation!
”I've been to the general's estate twice when I was young. I've seen her twice.”
Indeed, there was such a thing. Lu Jinnian carefully recalled the situation back then. After all, it was the soul of an adult.
The first time was when she was one year old. At that time, her mother Chu Yundi was still alive, so Ji Shaohua had come close to her and poked her in the face.
The second time was when she was 5 years old and someone helped her set up a swing. She noticed that someone was peeping at her from a distance, but only after looking carefully did she realize it was Ji Shaohua.
The two times, and both were when Lu Jinsheng had yet to open his eyes, she did not feel that Ji Shaohua really had any feelings for her, even if she was just a childhood friend.
But two times, was already enough for Ji Shaohua. After all, ever since he knew of Lu JinNian, he had been constantly listening to Ji Huai's narration, and it was no different than always being by his side.
It couldn't be said to be a deep relationship. If he liked her, perhaps he liked her a little, but when it came to adoration or the fact that he was an old man, Ji Shaohua clearly hadn't thought about it much.
Ji Shaohua took a deep breath to calm his emotions, ”Didn't you say a while ago that Miss Lu was going to pick a marriage this year? My father was in the army camp a few days ago, and when he came back and found out, he almost beat me up. Why didn't I go there when it was such a good opportunity …
”But as a man, if the great general is not at home, he would not be good to Miss Lu's reputation. Furthermore, it has been a long time since we've seen each other, so I don't know what Miss Lu likes. I heard that Brother Kong and Miss Lu have been in contact before, so I came here specially to inquire about your preferences.”
Kong Lian slapped the table and said, ”Don't ask me, I'm not familiar with it either. If you want to say that I like it, it's good wine!” The last three jars of Ice Jade Snow Wine were taken away by her! ”
Tsk tsk, don't say that it sounds so bad. You have to pack your leftovers, have you never heard of saving money?
Lu JinNian glanced at Kong Lian and didn't bother to say anything more. He pulled a cart full of wine over to her house to avoid Ji Shaohua and pretended to be deep in thought, ”The wedding wine may not be good. If brother Ji really delivers the wine, it might even make a girl angry.”
