Chapter four hundred and ninety-three gifts a year ago
"Twenty-nine, isn't that right to go to my grandfather's house to give gifts?" After hearing Lu Yun's answer, Lu Ying pinched her fingers and started to calculate.
"It should be able to catch up." Lu Yun responded, picked up the scarf and wiped his mouth clean.
Luodu customs that son-in-law should send some New Year’s goods to his father-in-law before the New Year to express gratitude. Although the two families have had a bad relationship with Lu Yun and Xie Tian, as the saying goes, etiquette should not be abolished, and Lu family values etiquette the most, so Lu Xin will still go.
"Let me and I go there first tomorrow." Lu Ying looked at Lu Yun and asked tentatively: "Are you going?"
"I won't go." Lu Yun shook his head and said, "I guess my grandfather's family doesn't want to see me either."
Two months ago, he made a big fuss about Xie Fang, not only letting Xie Jia lose all his face, but also directly deposed the two young masters. It is conceivable that Xie Jia hated him to the core. Lu Yun went to Xie Jia at this time, just to make Lu Xin's father-in-law unable to celebrate the New Year...
"That's true..." Lu Ying stopped forcing Lu Yun.
.
At noon on the 29th, Lu Xin indeed came out of seclusion.
Lu Xiang and Lu Yun had been waiting outside the door of the quiet room. Seeing Lu Xin coming out of the inside, Lu Yun hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Lu Yun looked at Lu Xin carefully and saw that his expression was as calm as water, his eyes were introverted, and he looked like an ordinary person who could not even have any martial arts skills. He no longer had the feeling of showing his sharpness before.
"Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father." Although it was expected, Lu Yun was still very happy. He resisted the urge to kiss Lu Xin fiercely and bowed to him to congratulate him.
"Haha, luck, luck." Lu Xin also suppressed his inner excitement and tried his best to maintain a sense of peace.
"When is it? You're just coming out!" Lu Xiang couldn't understand the mood of the father and son. He swung his crutch and smashed it on Lu Xin's leg, hoping to break his lonely crutch and said, "I thought you were going to celebrate the New Year inside!"
"How dare you, my son." Lu Xin smiled bitterly to avoid Lu Xiang's crutch, and couldn't help but ask for depression: "Father, please give me some face in front of Lu Yun."
"Bad! Even if you become a grandfather, that's my son. I'll beat him as long as I want!" Lu Xiangcai didn't take his tricks, and he called Lu Xin's leg again: "If you really want face, don't be that embarrassing thing!"
"Two days ago, uncle, second uncle and others came." Lu Yun explained to Lu Xin softly.
"Hey, no wonder..." Lu Xin then realized the reason why the old man was angry.
"They all told me, why did I give birth to you such a turtle that shrank like this?" Lu Xiang snorted angrily, and wanted to swing the crutch again. Fortunately, Lu Yun hurriedly grabbed it from the side, so Lu Xin no longer had to dodge in a mess.
In fact, although Mr. Lu Xiang had a bad temper, he would not have to break Lu Xin's leg because he almost couldn't celebrate the New Year together. The reason why he got angry was because he heard from Lu Xiu and Lu Xia - Lu Xiang heard that the deacons unanimously wanted to recommend their son as the lord. However, Lu Xin agreed on the spot, but turned around but used the excuse of seclusion to become a shrunk turtle that no one saw.
This was so furious that Lu Xiang was so angry. In his opinion, his son had the opportunity to become the lord. That was a blessing for several lifetimes, and it was an unshirkable responsibility for the children of the lord! How could Lu Xin disappoint those who had high hopes for him?
Lu Xiu, the reason why Lu Xia told Lu Xiang about the matter was that he wanted the old man to call Lu Xin out so that he could ask him in person what he was thinking!
If Lu Yun hadn't stopped him, Lu Xiang would have smashed the door of the quiet room, slid Lu Xin's ears, and handed him over to Lu Xiu and the others. Fortunately, Lu Xiang had always loved Lu Yun very much and could listen to Lu Yun's words the most. Only after his persuasion did he wait until today.
"Brother, I will explain it to them clearly with the second brother and the others." After knowing the reason why his father was angry, Lu Xin hurriedly comforted Lu Xiang and said, "Father put his heart back in his stomach, don't worry."
"Can I not worry?" Lu Xiang's crutch was pressed on the ground with a heavy cane and said to Lu Xin seriously: "It's not that I want to be the father of the lord, but my son. Lu Xia and the others told me that our lord needs to chase after him. You can't let the big guys get angry as soon as you get up!"
"I will not let everyone down, my son remembers his father's teachings." Lu Xin emphasized the key point.
"I hope this is the case." Lu Xiang looked at the sky. If he continued to teach, he would be delayed. Then he stopped talking and pointed to the front yard with a crutch and said, "Yesterday Lu Ying and her mother went to your father-in-law's house. I asked them to leave half of the gifts. Hold them tightly and give them to your father-in-law before dark, so that they can avoid talking about their own faults."
Lu Xiang valued these rules and etiquette the most. In previous years, when Lu Xin was in Jiangnan, he would send New Year's goods to his home every year, in the name of his son, to his in-laws. This year, Lu Xin returned to Beijing, so there was no reason not to go to his father-in-law's house...
"Yes, my father has been working hard in previous years." Lu Xin responded and hurried back to the house to change his clothes for going out.
When Lu Xin was dressed neatly, when he arrived at the patio, he saw that the carriage was ready for the door, and there were eight large carts full of gifts.
Lu Yun had just counted the gifts and saw Lu Xin coming out, he presented the gift list.
Lu Xin took it and saw it, and couldn't help but say shocked: "Is this still half?"
"Haha, my father doesn't know about the old man's temper." Lu Yun smiled dismissively: "The more he feels sad, the more he wants to support the storefront."
"Okay, then it's a bargain for my father-in-law." Lu Xin just said casually.
Although Lu Xin did not corruption a penny of the Ministry of Finance, he had been operating the Luquan industry in Jiangnan for many years and had accumulated a lot of wealth, so he would not take this gift seriously. He had just not yet emerged from his previous identity as a disaster relief envoy, and would subconsciously convert it in his heart that these gifts could save many hungry and cold victims.
But Lu Xin could not care about the victims all the time, and he would live his life as much as he could. He put the gift slip into his sleeves and bent down and sat in the carriage.
Lu Yun suddenly bent down, leaned into the car, and whispered to Lu Xin.
When Lu Xin heard this, he nodded calmly, indicating that he knew.
"Do you need to ask my master to help you with the fist?" Lu Yun whispered to ask for his opinion.
"No need." Lu Xin shook his head flatly, and he was determined to face it by himself.
"Then my father is careful." Lu Yun nodded. If it were him, he would have made the same choice. But Lu Yun was still a little worried, so he stuffed a black piece of things into Lu Xin's clothes.
"What is this?" Lu Xin was stunned.
"This is a protective plate made of meteorite from the sky, and even the Grand Master cannot destroy it." Lu Yun said with a smile.
"No need, right?" Lu Xin wanted to refuse.
