Chapter 140 Oops, my mother doesn’t welcome me
Lu Jie rushed to the front yard, and Yang Bonong was already waiting here with a group of housekeepers and housekeepers.
Accompanying Lu Jiadao were Su Zhixiao and his wife, Cheng Wenhui, Cheng Yi and Mrs. Cheng, as well as Qiuniang and Xie Yi - as the adoptive mother who had raised the eldest daughter of the Lu family for eleven years, she was also a member of the Lu family. My benefactor, you must be present on such occasions.
Qiuniang was already haunted by the pain of being excluded from the officialdom in her early years, but now she had to face a close minister of the emperor like Lu Jie, and she was so nervous that her fingers were almost peeling off.
Lu Jia patted her hand reassuringly: "Although the Lu family is considered a high-ranking family and does things differently from the outside world, everyone has their own constraints. Even the Jiang family is not a scourge and cannot be resisted. A Niangruo If you are not sure, just follow my instructions from now on.”
All the changes in the past year have been due to Lu Jia's idea. Qiu Niang calmed down after hearing this: "Speaking of which, I have nothing to lose, and indeed I shouldn't be afraid. Don't worry, A Niang will definitely not It will cause trouble for you.”
After the couple exchanged a few words, the team arrived in front of the mansion.
Jie'erzhu's door opened wide, and a large group of people came out. The leader was Lu Jie, followed by Yang Bonong and his wife Mu, and several later Qing guests also came out with their families. The ones behind them were The housekeeper and wife in charge of the Lu family.
When all the sedans and carriages drove in, what caught Lu Jia's eyes was the familiar stone wall.
Behind her, across the road, a carriage parked quietly had its curtains lowered. Shen Qingzhou was sitting in the carriage, listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers through the curtain, and raised his hand after a while. Come and signal He Qu to return home.
"Congratulations to welcome the eldest lady back home!"
Among the large group of people under the sedan chair, someone didn't know who stood up, and the welcome sounds came one after another like a tide.
The Cheng family went to the ground first. Mrs. Cheng came under the Lu family's sedan chair and helped Lu Jia out with Qiuniang.
"Jiajia!"
Mu quickly stepped forward and gently took Lu Jia's hand with red eyes.
Lu Jia also took hold of her, but when she realized something was wrong, she let go again.
"I am Aunt Yang, do you still remember me?"
Of course Lu Jia remembers her.
As Yang Bonong's wife, Lu Jia has also known Mu since childhood. In the past, in the Lu family, apart from the servants who had taken care of her since childhood, Mu was the most gentle and patient to her.
After returning home in her previous life, Mrs. Mu also visited her for a few times. But after all, she was just the wife of a Lu-level staff member, and she could not enter without Jiang's permission. Now that they are here, apart from meeting and greeting each other, there is no more contact between them.
Even so, this gentle woman was still a glimmer of light in Lu Jia's heart in the previous life, but it was a pity that she could not show it at this time.
"Let's go inside first."
Yang Bonong came forward to greet him.
But Lu Jia stood still and looked at the crowd, and then said "surprised": "How dare I ask my mother? Why didn't she come? And my sister? Why didn't she see her? Don't they welcome me?"
Her voice was already clear and crisp, but when she spoke it at this moment of public attention, her words were even more clear.
Yang Bonong looked around and his eyes fell on Lu Jie's face.
Lu Jie said: "Your mother is cleaning up the courtyard for you. Is there any reason not to welcome you?"
"What kind of yard do I need her to clean up for me personally? If word spreads about it, wouldn't it mean that I have become a master? I don't dare to do that.
"Steward Su, please take my people to my residence and let them clean up."
Su Zhixiao also glanced at Lu Jie, then walked forward with Xiao Xiao, and took Qinghe Yinliu to the Xiaxia Garden first.
In order to wait for the people brought by Guo Lu to enter Beijing, the Jiang family had already sent people to tidy up the Yixia Courtyard. But I never expected that this yard would be used, but it would be for the rightful owner!
There are firecrackers blasting in the front yard, but where can I not hear them in the backyard?
But Mr. Jiang was sitting in the room, with no intention of going to the front yard to greet her.
She knew she had to go. Everyone had already arrived at the house, and there was no way she could not let her in, let alone not receive her.
But she just didn't want to go.
Lu Jie was trying to intimidate her.
He was actually giving himself a blow for this girl who had always said he didn't care!
Every time Lu Jia was mentioned, didn't he always say he deserved it?
Isn't it her own fault for her disappearance due to her playfulness?
Why did the person look different when he came back?
"The master is just doing it to show off to others. After all, it is his own flesh and blood who has returned. He is solemn just to avoid being blamed.
"There is no evidence of what happened back then. Even if the eldest lady still remembers those things, her words are groundless!
"Madam, please don't take it too seriously. You must not get into trouble at this time!"
Aunt Du persuaded her while pouring tea.
"Mother!"
At this time, Lu Ying, who was supposed to be embroidering wedding clothes in the backyard, came in while calling "Mother".
"Lu Jia is back? Is she really back?"
The girl's face was full of shock: "Didn't mother say she can't come back? What went wrong?"
Ms. Jiang suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her face looking as ugly as if she was about to break.
"Don't talk nonsense! From now on, don't say a word!"
Lu Ying opened her eyes wide, and after nodding her head, Jiang let go of her hand.
"Follow me to the front." She stood up, her chest heaved a few times, and she walked forward.
Lu Jia still stood under the hidden wall and spoke to Yang Bainong aggrievedly: "I just said that I shouldn't come back. Look, my father and mother were at odds as soon as I came here."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Jie felt a headache when he saw her talking like that. "Let's talk after we get inside."
"Jiajia!"
At this time, another anxious call came from under the Chuihua Gate.
Immediately after hearing the sound, the crowd blocking the stone steps dispersed, and Ms. Jiang rushed out quickly with a smile on her face. Even though she was walking fast, her whole body was not messy.
Walking into the middle of the crowd, her eyes paused on Lu Jia's face for a moment, then she slowly stepped forward, took Lu Jia's hand and looked up and down:
"Is it really you? Isn't this a dream?!"
"Of course not." Lu Jia held her back and said, "My daughter has been waiting for her mother here for a long time. Mother, long time no see!"
Jiang glanced at Lu Jie and then quickly looked at her, squeezing her hand tighter: "Do you know that my mother almost died of panic back then, and there is not a day that goes by that I don't blame myself for these years, - God Bless you, I finally waited for you to come back alive!”
"No!"
Lu Jia raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Jiang sighed: "Your face is still exactly the same as before. No wonder your father recognized you as soon as he saw you.
"Are you suffering?"
"How can you compare to the hard work my mother has put in for the Lu family for many years?" Lu Jia sniffed and raised her head, "My daughter is back, she must honor her mother well in the future."
