Qin Youzhen still didn't say anything to the Xu family after all, because the Xu family didn't mention Xu Xiu's name or the name of the Xu family from beginning to end. Since Xu didn't mention it, Qin Youzhen naturally couldn't refuse.

She returned to her house full of confusion and began to sit in the house in a daze.

Today, in the face of Uncle Xu's concern, she felt very guilty. Uncle Niang is so kind to her, she can almost be said to be her mother. She can marry Lupu, and it is also a good family that her uncle chose for her. Compared with the low official position and sluggish career of the two cousins in the court, Lu Pu has been promoted from the third rank to the rank of high-ranking officials, and he is not even forty years old this year, and the future is promising. Their eldest son has already made a name for himself, and the eldest daughter also married into the most prominent Gaomen Mansion of this dynasty to be the eldest daughter-in-law, and she has today's glory, all of which are given by the uncle.

In the face of all kinds of great kindness from her uncle, she Qin Youzhen is broken, and she should be reciprocated......! She first rejected her aunt's request to let her eldest daughter marry in the Chengenhou Mansion, and now she is ...... wants to refuse the family affair that the uncle said for her eldest son again......

Does this mean some kind of revenge?

Qin Youzhen felt very painful in her heart. If she said that her daughter's marriage location, she still took the reason, and there was Lu Pu's letter in front of her, so although she felt a little sorry for her aunt, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Although the Xu family is not as good as before, it is also an official eunuch, and it used to be a household with the Lu family. And Xu Xiu is the same age as Lu Chuming, and she is also a talented and beautiful girl, judging from daily contact, her conduct and temperament are also good, and she is worthy of the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Merely...... Qin Youzhen has often been in contact with the Xu family since she was a child, and she is not used to some of his family's actions.

Qin Youzhen didn't believe in her son, but she was worried that her son would become the son-in-law of the Xu family, so he would always contribute to the Xu family, and even future generations would not be able to escape the entanglement of the Xu family. In the past few decades, from Qin Song to Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao, they have all contributed to the career of the eldest master of the Xu family, and they have also helped Xu Zheng introduce the children of high-ranking officials and nobles. And in Xu's heart, he is looking forward to telling his younger generations a good family......

Qin Youzhen was really scared. In her mind, the Chengenhou Mansion has always been a decent and prominent behemoth, but because of the relationship between the Xu family, she needs to work for the Xu family everywhere, and no one can get rid of it. Compared with the Qin family, what is the Lu family? Can the Lu family really meet the needs of the Xu family? If Lu Chuming is released as an official for many years after being admitted to the Jinshi examination in the future, it is better not to be with the Xu family, or if he and the Lu family's official position is not higher than that of the Xu family, otherwise, will they not be able to escape the entanglement of the Xu family? But the problem is that marrying the Xu family is only unilaterally beneficial to the Xu family, and once the Lu family encounters trouble, it will definitely not get help from the Xu family, and maybe they will be abandoned by the Xu family at any time......

Qin Youzhen was very reluctant to accept this possibility in her heart. She is willing to repay her uncle Xu and is willing to help the Xu family's children and descendants, but the Xu family? She doesn't owe anything to the Xu family. Besides, even the uncle Xu was wronged to marry the former uncle and fill the house for a man ten years older than her! She was deeply favored by the uncle, and she should repay the uncle, but there was no reason to repay the Xu family, let alone ask her husband and children to sacrifice themselves, and even lose her children and grandchildren!

But how can she make her aunt Xu understand these true thoughts? She doesn't want to hurt Xu, but she is worried that Xu will force her to agree to the marriage. Sometimes, the more warm and affectionate Xu's is, the more it proves that she is strong-willed, and warmth is just a means. The Xu family is bent on thinking about his mother's family, and he can give up his own grandson and granddaughter, so how can he pity Lu Chuming? Qin Youzhen was entangled, and her heart was very sad. On the one hand, she is a great kindness to her, and on the other hand, she is her own flesh and blood, how does this make her choice?

It was getting dark, but she didn't notice it, until her eldest son Lu Chuming walked in with a candlestick: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Youzhen looked up at Lu Chuming, this eldest son has always been her pride, not to mention being born as a talent, he is also smart and reasonable, has a gentle temperament, and is even more filial to his parents. He reads well, and he is very sure that he will be promoted in the examination, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future. Such an excellent son should choose an equally excellent daughter-in-law for him, and his family background is talented, good-looking, and temperamental, so he is worthy of Lu Chuming. Let her sacrifice the happiness of this son in order to repay Xu's great kindness, how can she bear it?!

Lu Chuming looked at his mother in surprise: "Why are you crying?

Qin Youzhen was shocked to realize that she was crying at some point, and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, and shook her head indiscriminately: "I'm fine, I'm ...... I just missed your father for a while. ”

Lu Chuming laughed when he heard this: "When my son finishes the township exam, we can go to Changlu to reunite with my father, and it will only be a month's work." Mother, just bear with me a little longer. ”

Qin Youzhen glanced at him with disgust: "Naughty! If your father hears it, he will beat you carefully."

Lu Chuming said with a smile: "My brother also said such things before, and my father was quite happy to hear it, even if he heard me say this, he wouldn't beat me, maybe he would praise me for saying it well, and it was just in my mother's heart!"

Qin Youzhen looked at him angrily, hesitated for a while, and then asked him, "How are you packing your luggage?" In the house in Jinan, although there is everything, the things prepared by the clan are not as good as the habits prepared by their own families. ”

Lu Chuming said: "Mother rest assured. I've packed everything up, and I'll leave early tomorrow. ”

Qin Youzhen hesitated again: "Since that's the case, then let's just set off tomorrow." Mention to Tongzhou Wharf, you don't have to rush so the way. ”

Lu Chuming was a little surprised: "Why did my mother suddenly change her mind? Didn't it mean that the second uncle of my son was going to hold a banquet for us in the Chengenhou Mansion? Besides, our family and the boat company have already agreed on the time, and we can't change it if we want to." ”

Yes, the practice feast has been scheduled a long time ago, and the time of departure of the ship is the same.

Qin Youzhen choked for a moment before saying, "I forgot." That...... Then wait for the practice banquet, let's set off to Tongzhou again, spend the night there, and get on the boat as soon as the day after tomorrow dawns, and you can save half a day's time. ”

Lu Chuming didn't object this time, he agreed, and he had to inform his subordinates to prepare the carriage or something in advance.

Qin Youzhen stopped her son again, hesitated for a moment, and then said earnestly: "You are now older, you are no longer a child, your father has been promoted to an official again, and now your identity is different from the past." When you interact with people on weekdays, remember to pay more attention. Don't go to those messy places, and stay away from other people's girls, lest you get into trouble that shouldn't be provoked, and even your reputation will be affected. You are a scholar, character is the most important, you should pay attention to inspection, don't be gullible to others, don't make mistakes, understand?"

Lu Chuming nodded hesitantly: "My son understands." But why did my mother suddenly mention this?"

Qin Youzhen smiled reluctantly: "I just thought that you would go to the township test this time, and you must be indispensable to socialize with people, so I specially reminded you." During the township examination, the examiners are all in Jinan Mansion, if you are careless and calculating, so that the examiners misunderstand your personality, won't you suffer a big loss?"

Lu Chuming smiled when he heard this: "Mother, don't worry, I won't fall for other people's fools easily." Brother Jian and the king of Suning County have both taught me face-to-face, so that I know how to prevent other people's pranks, I know in my heart. What's more, during the exam, I am either in the exam room, or I stay at home to review my homework, how can I go outside and give people a chance to calculate me?"

Lu Chuming left with a smile, Qin Youzhen smiled bitterly in the room, and sighed faintly.

Qin Youzhen and Lu Chuming's mother and son left the capital half a day early, which surprised everyone else in the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion. Qin Bofu in the second room was even more choked. He originally planned to invite Qin Youzhen's mother and son to his house for dinner, but he didn't expect that after lunch, they ran away. As for Lu Chuliang, he is just a little kid, he didn't pay much attention to it, at most, he coaxed more on weekdays, so that this nephew could deliver a message to his newlywed niece on his behalf.

Xu had some vague speculations in his heart, and he was secretly annoyed, disappointed in Qin Youzhen's despair. But it doesn't matter, Lu Chuliang is still in Beijing, and the three of them still have luggage and belongings and their subordinates to stay in this house in the northeast corner, as long as Lu Pu explicitly refuses, her plan still has hope of success.

Xu asked Qin Zhonghai to take Lu Chuliang back to Fugui to live, the reason is so convenient to take care of. Lu Chuliang was looking forward to living a free and easy life for a few days, where would he be willing? Living in the Chengenhou Mansion was subject to the jurisdiction of entry and exit, which was far less convenient than living in his own house. But Xu and Qin Zhonghai persuaded him, but he couldn't resist the elders, so he could only reluctantly move back.

Xu Shi saw that Lu Chuliang had returned to Fuguiju and continued to live as before, and his heart finally settled down. She told herself, don't worry, Qin Youzhen and Lu Chuming will come back after the township test. She finally persuaded her niece to keep her sons in Beijing to study, and she must not destroy all the foreshadowing before the matter is completed.

When Qin Youzhen went to Changlu to take office, the two children were in Beijing, and they could only rely on the uncles and aunts of the Chengenhou Mansion to live. When the time comes, she will take Xu Xiu to live by her side for a period of time, and she will always find an opportunity for Xu Xiu to get along with Lu Chuming. If Lu Chuming is not moved, she can also ask Xu Xiu to take care of Lu Chuliang's diet and daily life, or instruct the latter in his homework. Whether it is Qin Youzhen, Lu Yueniang, or Lu Chuming, it is impossible for them to be indifferent to Xu Xiu, who helped Lu Chuliang. Once they discovered Xu Xiu's benefits, it would be much easier to talk about family affairs......
