Lu Chuliang solved half of the important matters in his heart, thought about it carefully, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he was relieved to break up with his two good friends and return to his own home.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his brother Lu Chuming sitting in the main hall of the front hall, quietly holding a book and a cup of tea in his hand, obviously waiting for him.

Lu Chuliang paused, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little chill behind my back, and I couldn't help but ...... Somewhat cowardly.

He smiled dryly and waved at his brother: "Big brother is reading here? It's so hot, take care of yourself. I went back to the house to freshen up first, and I was really sweating today......"

"Stop. ”

Lu Chuliang had only taken two steps before he was given the two words calmly, his heart was entangled, he turned around slowly, and muttered dejectedly: "I must have finished my homework tonight...... If you can't finish it, you'll make it up tomorrow! Big brother will spare me this time? I will definitely not do it again in the future. ”

Lu Chuming was angry and funny: "Didn't you tell the girl before you went out, did you go to buy books and pen and paper today, where are the things?"

Lu Chuliang had just finished a major event, and he was full of joy, and he had already forgotten this excuse for going out! In desperation, he had no choice but to cowardly defend himself: "Originally, I was going to buy it, but I met two friends on the way, and we chatted about the day...... I forgot about ......."

Lu Chuming saw his younger brother's cowardice, sighed, and called someone closer: "Sit." Let's have a good chat. ”

Lu Chuliang walked over slowly and sat down opposite Lu Chuming, but he only dared to sit on half of the round stool.

Lu Chuming calmly poured a cup of tea for his younger brother, and opened his mouth as if chatting about family life: "Are you going to Xu's family room today?"

Lu Chuliang was suddenly choked with saliva, and looked at his brother blankly: "How do you know?"

Lu Chuming smiled: "When Second Grandma Xu went back to the Chengenhou Mansion, your little maid pestered the subordinates of the second room of the Xu family to talk, and was asking about the address and layout of the Xu family's house, right? What do you want to do? You shouldn't be stupid enough to sneak into someone's house and do something unseemly, right?"

"Of course I won't be so stupid!" Lu Chuliang muttered in a low voice, he didn't expect that his actions would be discovered by his brother, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth what he had done today.

The more Lu Chuming listened, the more surprised he became. He looked at his younger brother in surprise: "How did you come up with this method?!" When he didn't know, his younger brother actually grew from a child who only knew how to eat and play stupidly to now have a plan?

Lu Chuliang smiled: "That day, my grandmother heard the news of my brother's marriage, and after vomiting blood, she questioned her mother, which made my mother sad and sad, and my brother was also troubled. When I saw your appearance, I felt in my heart, I can't let this kind of thing continue to happen! Even if my grandmother was very kind to my mother, my mother did not do anything to my grandmother. If her grandmother really loved her mother, she should not embarrass her mother for the sake of her nieces and grandnieces, and force her to sacrifice even her husband and children! If all this was really just to repay her aunt and grandmother for her kindness in raising her mother, it would be just that. But the real benefit is only the Xu family's room. Xu had several times in the family's room, but she failed to live up to her grandmother's attention, and she was so angry that she vomited blood several times, and now she is so sick that she is bedridden. Even if his maternal uncle and grandmother can ignore the twists and turns of right and wrong, be honest and shameful, and don't take any grievances to heart for the sake of his mother's family, there is no reason to ask our Lu family to think the same way, right?!"

Lu Chuming then understood, and he sighed: "You stupid boy...... These things are decided by your father and brother, as long as you study hard, have fun with peace of mind, and be more filial to your mother, it is enough. Although my grandmother couldn't think about it, she was now sick in bed, and she was heartbroken by the Xu family's room, and it was difficult to blame her mother for anything. Mother is upset for her old man's family, and she will never give the Xu family room any more face. The things that once made us difficult are no longer a problem. Why do you want to get involved again?"

Lu Chuliang said disapprerovingly: "My grandmother has drilled the tip of the horns, and now that she sees me, she often holds my hand and says good things, trying to persuade me to agree to marry Sister Xu." If my mother refused to follow her and told me about my family, my grandmother would have vomited blood and cried again, which made my mother uncomfortable. Why bother? I simply gave Sister Xu a good marriage, and asked Xu's family to break my uncle's grandmother's thoughts, and told her not to blame us. If it happens, maybe she'll be grateful to us. As long as she can calculate her mother less, hurt her mother's heart less, and make her mother feel better, my calculations will not be in vain. ”

Lu Chuming could only sigh again. However, the younger brother is also filial piety, how can he blame too much? It's just that the younger brother has made this calculation, and I don't know if there is any omission. He asked his younger brother with concern: "How did you think of borrowing the strength of the Qi family and the Gui family? I only know that you have made a lot of friends in Beijing for more than half a year, and you have played like crazy, and even your homework has been wasted, but I don't know that you have made friends with the children of these two families. ”

Lu Chuliang said with a smile: "I only met them by chance, in addition to them, there are two other people who are also very good with me." It's just that this matter is related to the Qi and Gui families today, and there are some secret things that are not easy to tell outsiders, so I only called the two of them. Speaking of which, it is also thanks to Second Grandma Xu, if it weren't for the fact that she talked about the Xu family's room and seemed to be thinking about the new cousin of the Qi family, I wouldn't have thought of meeting Sister Xu in the Qi family's garden. As for Gui Xiaosi, his brother refused to remarry, and he had already annoyed their family for a long time. was originally a good young talent, but because of the loss of his wife, he was depressed all day long. The Gui family no longer expects him to achieve anything in his career, but only hopes that he can cheer up a little, take an idle official position, grow old in peace and security, and have children to send him to the end, and they will be satisfied. Even if he refuses to marry a wife, take a concubine, otherwise he will be too lonely and pitiful. But he just wouldn't agree. I was good friends with Gui Xiaosi, and when I saw that he was sad for his brother, I also wanted to help him. Since Sister Xu is somewhat similar to Second Sister-in-law Gui, let her try it. ”

As for whether he can succeed after trying, that is Xu Xiu's own business. Even if she fails, the Gui family who saw this example, as well as Gui Xiaosi, who knows the truth, should also know how to solve the problem of Gui's second brother's continuation.

Lu Chuming shook his head: "The Gui family's family business is actually quite good. Aren't you afraid that after the Xu family and the Gui family get married, they will really make a comeback with the power of the Gui family, or Xu Xiu will affect the Gui family for the sake of his mother's family?"

Lu Chuliang said with a smile: "I don't think she has this ability. No matter her appearance, knowledge, talent or temperament, she is not as good as Gui's second sister-in-law, even if she confuses Gui's second brother for a while and successfully marries into the Gui family, it is impossible to cross Gui's second sister-in-law. The Gui family likes Gui's second sister-in-law, and she is still good friends with her mother's family. The two families even lived on the same street and often came and went. It can be said that this family affair sounds like it is beneficial to the Xu family's house, but in fact, even if Sister Xu marries into the Gui family, in the eyes of the Gui family, she is just a woman who gives birth to the second brother of Gui. can't get the heart of Second Brother Gui, and it is difficult to compare with the original match, Senior Sister Xu's status in the Gui family in the future is only afraid that it will not be stable. Without the support of her husband and in-laws, she is not the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is not a feed in her hands, so why should she use the power of the Gui family to help the Xu family make a comeback?"

Don't look at the old man of the Gui family as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the eldest prince of Gui is the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, I think that these connections can be easily used by the Xu family. Such official families, family members and future family members, have been in the officialdom for many years, and no one is a fool. And Mrs. Gui is the daughter of the right capital of the Imperial Palace, and she governs the family very strictly, and even the upbringing of her children and grandchildren will be personally inquired about. Xu Xiu's desire to benefit her mother's family under her mother-in-law's nose is simply delusional! If she accidentally shows her feet, Mrs. Gui's words can make the Metropolitan Procuratorate keep an eye on the people in Xu's family's room, telling them to walk around without eating! And the right capital Yushi can also be unrelenting to his in-laws, and he will only achieve his iron-faced and selfless reputation!

Lu Chuliang explained it to his brother a little proudly, and said with a smile: "Big brother, look, is this family affair more suitable for the Xu family? It looks like an ideal, but when the family affair is completed, and when you look back after two years, you will find that the Xu family can't get any additional benefits, but you can't complain to others." Once you complain, the Xu family is ignored. Even if my maternal uncle and grandmother knew, I guess they would only think that the people in the Xu family's room were not angry, right?"

Lu Chuming angrily stretched out his hand and knocked on his brother's head: "Look at your smug appearance! This time, you calculated the Xu family, whether it succeeded or not, the matter was over, you don't have to interfere again, and you don't have to tell your mother to know. Your little friends, when they have a free day, invite them all to come to the house, and I will let my mother do a good job of being the host. Although it is good that you can make friends, it should not be wasted because of this! If you can achieve fame with these good friends in the future, it will be a great joy!"

Lu Chuliang rubbed his head, and said with some grievances: "If you have something to say, why do you want to beat me...... but he still responded to his brother's instructions, "Don't worry, big brother, I know it in my heart!"

Speaking of knowing in his heart, Lu Chuliang remembered one more thing: "By the way, there is something that Qi Xiaoer told me." He leaned close to Lu Chuming's ear, "The cousin of the Qi family went to Beijing, saying that he was here to study and find relatives, but in fact, ...... It was because he had already gained fame and fame, and he missed it this year because he suddenly lost his wife, and this time he planned to participate in the Enke Society! His father was the governor and the official of the frontier, and he had his own news channels, saying that he had heard the rumors and knew that the emperor intended to cede the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When the new monarch ascends the throne, he will definitely open Enko. The young master of the Qi family went to Beijing in advance, and he could also make a point in advance. ”

Lu Chuming showed a shocked expression: "This ...... I've never heard anyone from the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion talk about it!"

Lu Chuliang snorted: "It is estimated that the people of the Chengenhou Mansion will not know, the Yongjiahou Mansion ...... The third uncle and grandfather have always had a tight mouth, and if he doesn't let go of his mouth in the palace, he won't tell anyone. Besides, my brother's knowledge is solid, and he doesn't care if he doesn't tell you. It's just brother, if this is true, then you and Cousin Qin will start preparing now, maybe we can take the lead?"

Lu Chuming nodded solemnly.
