As expected, just like what Gege had said, Madam Lu seemed to really like her?
In the depths of her heart, she was a little moved. While on the surface, Su Jin had shown a lovable smile towards this unfamiliar noble madam before her.
Truthfully, if one needed to describe their relationship, she was not entirely unfamiliar with her. Lu Xi's mother was known as Dong Xue and her father was a reputed calligrapher in Beijing. He had been extremely doting towards this sole daughter of his and as for her, Dong Xue and Lu Boan; they had both known each other since they were young. They were a couple who were innocent childhood friends/playmates who had become sweethearts and after their marriage, their feelings for each other had deepened greatly. She had swiftly recalled all this information from the recesses of her brain in a flash and Su Jin looked upon this lady before her. Although she had already passed her own golden jubilee years[1], yet in her appearance, she was as childlike and innocent a woman as before. Seeing this, Su Jin felt a slight wisp of envy towards her.
[1] 天命之年 (tiān mìng zhī nián) - This refers to 50 years, it comes from the phrase, 'when you are fifty, one knows the heaven's will' by The Analects of Confucius: Serving as Politic Articles. It explains that when one reaches fifty years old, or their golden jubilee years, one would know the difficulties between ideals and reality. Therefore, when one does something, they would no longer stubbornly pursue something to bear fruit. It is explained as one would still remain dedicated to forget one's meals and to be so happy to overlook one's worries, but what changed for a person was that they would be indifferent about achieving a great reputation or disgrace through their years of legacy.
It could be assumed that Uncle Lu was truly very in love with her so that she could remain, unchanged even for a day, as innocent as a child for several decades. All so she would have a sincere heart like a pure and innocent babe that had never been polluted by the dust and tar of the world.
"Good child, may I call you Xiao Jin?" Seeing this rather pure and slim girl before her, when Dong Xue recalled how this young girl had kept vigil over the hospital bed of her own family's son, the measure of her good opinion of this girl could not help but slowly rise.
"Of course you can." Her lips curled into a smile and when she raised her gaze to look at Dong Han's peach blossom eyes that were alight with smiles; all of a sudden, Su Jin had actually been slightly dazzled by the view.
Speaking of which, these two young masters of the Lu Family: the older who resembled the father, Lu Jing was fresh, elegant, grave and stern while the second brother, Lu Xi resembled his mother's refined looks; he had some hints of manly grace and handsomeness. Especially with those pair of peach blossom eyes, it was extremely similar to his mother's.
