39. Propose

In the afternoon, Princess Zheng hurriedly had a meal in Kaiyuan Temple, and she was full of joy and commanded a group of girls to hurry up and rush to the palace, as soon as she entered the door, she instructed someone to find King Pingnan, and the smile on her face could not be hidden, and she pulled King Pingnan, who had just been angry with her son, and said about Kaiyuan Temple with emotion and joy.

"It's really a coincidence, and it should be the fate of Brother Ji'er, I never thought that I met that girl in the temple! Brother Ji also met people today. I didn't see it, that girl is very good-looking, and she is generous in her words and actions, and it is a god-given fate with our brother! There is really nowhere to find such a girl's house! When I was just in Kaiyuan Temple, I asked Brother Jie'er, and I didn't look at what he meant, not like he was unhappy, nor was he as impatient as in previous years - hey, my brother's family affairs have not been settled all these years, and I have to ask for him for this family business! ”

Princess Zheng said, hurriedly stood up again, and raised her voice to order a few mothers-in-law waiting outside: "Hurry up and let the porter prepare!" After that, he turned his head and explained to King Pingnan, "We have dragged on this family affair for so long, and now it is easy to have a good marriage, this matter should be sooner rather than later, since I entrusted Mrs. Cui to my son before, I will simply go to tell her today, and ask her to prepare to go to Lu's house to deliver the message." ”

King Pingnan raised his eyebrows, looked at Princess Zheng's excited and joyful appearance, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words of persuasion when he reached his mouth.

Princess Zheng was in very good spirits, and she couldn't care about King Pingnan, so she gave a stack of orders, and took the maid to Luo's house to find Mrs. Cui with a radiant face, and told her about her chance encounter in Kaiyuan Temple today.

Mrs. Cui followed Princess Zheng and sighed in surprise, and smiled and responded to the matchmaking business.

As soon as Princess Zheng left, Mrs. Cui asked the eldest grandmother of the Luo family, Yang, to come over, withdraw the girl, and carefully explain the matter of being a matchmaker for the Pingnan Palace.

Grandma Yang listened to Mrs. Cui's words in surprise and amazement, and it took a long time to react, she spread her hands with tears and laughter, and smiled at Mrs. Cui in embarrassment: "Mother, don't blame me for being lazy, it's really not easy to talk about this...... If the daughter-in-law remembers correctly, the prince should be twenty-two this year, right? The late sister is only fourteen. Not to mention anything else, this age is too much different. Moreover, with the appearance and temperament of the younger sister, there will only be more people who propose to the Lu family! The former Mrs. Xie of the Wang family made a special trip to Lufu to eat and drink, and praised the late sister in and out of her words, isn't this just handing over the words? It's not that the daughter-in-law is talkative, the prince is in the south all the year round, his temperament is cold, and there is no girl around to serve him, and he came back this year and was injured again, and he also had a scar on his face, and the people in the capital spread everything. This rumor alone has to scare people away! ”

Grandma Yang said, sighed helplessly, and explained with some embarrassment: "It's also unfortunate that the third wife of the Lu family has been sick and has not seen guests a few years ago, and I heard that the people of the Lu family went to Kaiyuan Temple to ask for a lot, saying that they wanted to recuperate. No, just after the New Year, the third wife went back to the Lu family's ancestral house to recuperate. Now there is no one in charge of the house, and I can't talk to my sister about this matter, Mrs. Wang in the second room is the aunt and grandmother of the Wang family, and Mrs. Lin in the big room doesn't say it. Mother, look, how can I deliver this? You can't just find Lord Lu, right? ”

Mrs. Cui listened attentively to Grandma Yang's words, and also sighed, waving her hands with a smile, "It's okay, what you said is reasonable." It's just that this matter was entrusted by the princess herself, and the prince of their family and your fifth brother are close friends, so it's not good for us to refuse. ”

After a pause, Mrs. Cui pondered for a moment, Fang motioned for Grandma Yang to sit closer, and instructed with a smile: "In this way, the Pingnan Palace's words will be handed over to their Mansion Mrs. Wang." Mrs. Wang is a cool character, and at this time, the Wang family and the Lu family have not formally discussed marriage, that is, the Wang family intends to ask for marriage, and Mrs. Wang will not directly block our words at this time. ”

Grandma Yang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, nodded her head in agreement, withdrew and thought about it, and then instructed the accompanying grandmother to prepare a gift and send it to the Lu family, and the next morning, she quietly went to the Lu family to meet Mrs. Wang.

When Grandma Yang walked out of the Lu Mansion with a smile, Mrs. Wang shook her head and sighed with a wry smile, thinking about it, it was not easy to speak, so she simply went to the study to find the second master Lu Chengyi, and sent all the "messengers" out. Lu Chengyi didn't say a word, he responded decisively, and turned his head to find Lu Chenghui.

That evening, Lu Wan got the news from her father, sat in the study and took a depressed breath with her brows twisted, looked at Lu Chenghui with some resentment, and snorted: "The eldest aunt mentioned the Wang family before, but what I said before was that the Wang family took a fancy to the third sister. Now that I'm changed, let's not talk about what the uncle and aunt think, it's the third sister, I'm afraid I'll have to blame me at this time! I've been in a state of unwarranted suffering! ”

Lu Chenghui looked at his daughter gently, and after listening to Lu Wan's chatter, Fang took Lu Wan's words unhurriedly, and asked funny: "You don't like that kid from the Wang family?" ”

Lu Wan coughed, glanced at her father, rubbed her fingers against the teacup, was silent for a moment, and was helpless by Lu Chenghui for a while, so she simply told the truth: "It's not something that can't be seen." The Wang family has a big business, and Wang Yu is the son of the long house, so he is not suitable for me. After pausing for a moment, seeing that his father was drinking tea without reacting, Lu Wan reluctantly added, "But there must be many rules in all families, and if you are a clan woman, whoever marries into the Wang family is tired and panicked!" ”

Lu Chenghui looked at his daughter and raised his eyebrows, with a helpless smile in his eyes, put down the teacup, and slowly concluded: "In the end, you didn't fancy that kid from the Wang family." ”

Lu Wan choked, pursed her lips and stopped talking. Listening to her father's tone, she knew that her father must have taken a fancy to Wang Yu! But she never thought about marrying into the Wang family at all, not to mention Mrs. Lin and Lu Pan's plans, let's just say that it was Mrs. Xie, but I am afraid that she may not really like her. The reason why Mrs. Xie sent a message to the Lu family was mostly because she was worried about Wang Yu's wishes, and she only regarded it as a mother's distressed son, otherwise she would not have said it so vaguely in the first place, and Mrs. Lin would have been wrong.

The most important thing is that she knows what her own temperament is, and what Wang Yu sees is only her side. He didn't know her true nature, but he was just confused by a layer of good-looking appearances. Young Mu Ai, most of the reason is that it is unattainable and untouchable, and even if it is really true, it may not last long. Besides, she wants to be free all her life, why bother jumping into the golden hole of the Wang family?

"Since you don't like that kid from the Wang family, what about the Pingnan Palace?" Lu Chenghui took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Lu Wan with a smile, as if gossiping, and asked in a gentle voice, "Didn't you say that you met Princess Zheng of Pingnan Wangfu in Kaiyuan Temple yesterday, you must have seen people, how is that kid from the Wei family?" ”
