Chapter 282: Marrying
Mrs. Lu herself has no daughter, and the more she looks at Guo Wenying, the more she loves her, thinking that she has been wandering abroad all these years and has not become married, she can't help but say: "You said last time that you were going to retire from the Fang family's family affairs, is there anything wrong with the Fang family's son?"
Guo Wenying shook his head, the other party Yuntang had long lost the initial heartbeat, and now that this matter has passed, there is no way to recover.
She whispered, "It's not a matter of whether he's good or bad, it's just that we're not suitable." ”
Mrs. Lu laughed, "If you don't marry, you won't marry, there is not only one man in the world, what kind of husband do you want to marry, and your aunt will pick and choose for you?"
Guo Wenying is not an ordinary big girl after all, although she feels ashamed, she still said: "It's good for ordinary people, don't be very rich, don't have a good family background, don't study, don't practice martial arts, the most important thing is to have a good character, I really like me, and I won't take a concubine." ”
Mrs. Lu was stunned, then pursed her lips and laughed, "What you say doesn't sound very demanding, but it's really hard to find, what men in the world lack most is sincerity, they don't want to take concubines, and there are not many people who only guard you." ”
She quipped, "Isn't my uncle good?"
Mrs. Lu's face was slightly red, "Your uncle is upright, and the Lu family has a family rule that no concubines are allowed, otherwise how can my aunt have such a good life." ”
Guo Wenying said with a smile: "If you really can't find it, then you simply won't marry." ”
"Nonsense, how can a woman not marry? There are aunts on the left and right to help you watch, and it won't be bad. ”
Guo Wenying nodded, this matter is most assured to be entrusted to her aunt, so she doesn't have to let Fu Ying take care of it, and she will be matched with a disgusting person.
After talking for a while, seeing that at noon, a banquet was set up in the house to catch her wind. The population of the house is simple, and none of the three brothers are married.
Guo Wenying presented all the gifts he brought, giving Lu Junqing a piece of Shoushan stone, giving his aunt a set of sapphire heads, Lu Xinyu a unique chess book, Lu Yijue a famous inkstone, and Lu Minghui a fan carved from white jade.
She has been an official for many years, and she has also gotten a lot of good things, especially in the southeast for more than a year, and she has gained a lot of benefits in private. In addition, Feng Jingting also gave her some good things, and the dozens of shops and Zhuangzi he gave her are still in her hands. She doesn't plan to move any of this, and she will return it to Feng Jingting one day. However, even if these are removed, she can be regarded as a rich woman.
Lu Junqing saw that everything she gave was extremely valuable, and some were even priceless, so he couldn't help frowning, and wanted to say something, but he hesitated and didn't speak.
Lu Yijue smiled and said: "This inkstone given by my sister is really a good thing, this is the masterpiece of the master Xue Ming, it is worth at least 10,000 taels on the market." I don't know where my sister got such a baby?"
Guo Wenying was slightly stunned, she really didn't know that this inkstone was worth 10,000 taels, this was given to her by Feng Jingting last year, that time she made this guy angry, Feng Jingting was so angry that he smashed her with the inkstone.
Of course, he didn't really smash it, and threw it directly into her arms.
Guo Wenying has always refused to return the things she has in her hands, but she just thought it was given to her by him, so she completely laughed at it. Feng Jingting was so angry with her that he couldn't help it, and scolded her a few words, but he didn't want to come back later, so he just rewarded her.
She knew that Lu Yijue liked the four treasures of the study, so she gave them to him.
Hearing him ask at this moment, he smiled and said: "This is given by a friend of mine, I don't like to write, and it's useless to hold it, so I gave it to my cousin, I hope my cousin can go to high school." ”
Lu Yijue hurriedly said, "Thank you sister Jiyan." ”
Lu Xinyu is good at chess, and she can't put her chess games down, and she turns it over on the dinner table when she holds it in her hand, and her focused expression seems to be that she doesn't even want to eat. was reprimanded by Lu Junqing twice, but he was reluctant to let go.
Lu Minghui also likes the white jade fan, he is the age when he admires the fashion of the son, and he usually learns from some young people to learn what kind of celebrities, but he is missing a good fan. Especially on this fan, there is also the nomination of the great poet Du Yande, which makes him very excited, and he is bent on taking it out another day to show off to others.
Lu Junqing and Mrs. Lu also liked their gifts, but they felt that they were too precious, especially the Shoushan Stone, which was about to catch up with the tribute. That Shoushan stone was later found from his palace when he was peaceful. Most of those palace treasures were handed over to Lu Qifang to bring back to Kyoto and presented to the emperor, and a small part was divided by the generals in the army. Guo Wenying has her own share, and she is not greedy, so she only keeps a few things, and the rest is sold for cash to add silver to the soldiers.
Of course, because of this, she has a high prestige in the army, and those soldiers are willing to go out and follow her.
After eating, Mrs. Lu took her to the room to talk, and Lu Xinyu and the three of them were looking outside the window, and they were embarrassed to come in. Mrs. Lu ignored them, and spoke to her sister through the window.
Guo Wenying stayed here for a day, and only reluctantly returned to Guo's mansion at night.
After she left, Mrs. Lu called Lu Junqing over to discuss Guo Wenying's marriage together.
Lu Junqing said: "Wen Ying will be nineteen years old after the New Year, there are really not many girls like this who have not married, you can take care of it and see if there are any good people?"
Mrs. Lu said: "Wen Ying's marriage is really troublesome, she is not young, she has a reputation for being sick, and her status in the Guo family is also embarrassing.
Lu Junqing thought for a moment, "I have an idea, I want Wen Ying to marry Xinyu, what do you think?"
Mrs. Lu was stunned, Lu Xinyu is her most outstanding son, born in two lists, she is smart and has a good temper, she has always wanted to choose a good family for him, Guo Wenying, this girl is good, but she still feels that she is not worthy of her son.
This person is selfish, even if she likes Guo Wenying no matter how much she likes, her son is more important in her heart. Besides, Guo Wenying disappeared for a few years and didn't know where to go, this is a disease in her heart, her daughter's family is the most important name, I am afraid that in the future, someone will talk about this matter, which will affect her son's future.
When Lu Junqing saw her like that, he knew that his wife was unhappy, and he understood his wife's thoughts, but he felt ashamed of his sister and owed his niece, and he only wanted to make amends. The Lu family is also everyone, and there is a rule that men are not allowed to take concubines, and Wen Ying will treat her well when she marries.
He thought for a while and said, "You go to find it first, if it's really not suitable, then say give it to Xinyu, otherwise Yijue will do it, I see that Yijue and Wen Ying chatted very happily at the banquet today." The two are also the same age. ”
Mrs. Lu sighed, she could only do so, hoping that a son would make up for the debt he owed to his niece as an uncle, and he would be worthy of his sister-in-law under Jiuquan.
