On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, just after the early dynasty, Feng Ying, the chief of the inner chamberlain, came out of the palace with a few chamberlains, holding a box covered with yellow silk, followed behind the guard of honor, and went to the Pingnan palace to pass the decree to the Lu family.

King Pingnan's face was full of joy, and he led everyone in the house to receive the holy decree at the door, and turned his head to stuff it to the guard, not looking at his son's face, he pulled Feng Ying with a smile, and kept thanking him while walking out.

Feng Ying was pulled by King Pingnan and almost planted at the door, hurriedly holding on to the door frame to stand firm, crying and laughing and saying goodbye to King Pingnan's thanks, and congratulated him with a joy, then he said goodbye and withdrew, and hurried to Lufu.

King Pingnan personally sent Feng Ying out, and when he turned back, he beckoned to the garrison, raised his eyebrows and ordered: "You hurry up and go to see what the situation is at the other end of the Lu family!" If you want to have something, go back to your father immediately! ”

The garrison was stunned for a moment, agreed with a smile, and hurriedly withdrew, with a light under his feet, and he didn't see any movement, and flashed out of the courtyard in the blink of an eye, secretly following the honor guard in the palace all the way to the Lu Mansion.

The concierge of the Lu Mansion saw this battle from afar, and was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened, seeing the guard of honor getting closer and closer, the concierge slammed his head and woke up, kicked the two little guys, turned around and ran inside.

After a while, the Lu Mansion got the news. Lu Chengyao hurriedly greeted people out, and met Lu Chenghui and Lu Chengyi at the second gate, and he didn't care about talking, so he hurriedly signaled the two of them to run to the gate, greeted Feng Ying from afar, and politely bowed his hand.

"I don't deserve the courtesy of a few adults!" Feng Ying was full of smiles, hurriedly turned sideways to give a few people's salutes, went up the steps, entered the courtyard, and took the yellow thick box in the hands of the little attendant, Fang smiled, and nodded to a few people, "There is a decree on the saint, and I invite a few adults to accept the decree." ”

Lu Chengyao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Chenghui busily. Lu Chengyi was even more confused by the second monk, and looked at Lu Chenghui in confusion.

Seeing that Lu Chenghui's face was unhappy, as if he had expected it, Lu Chengyao and the others glanced at each other suspiciously, and they didn't care about asking more, so they were busy dressing up and beckoning their family to take care of things. The Lu Mansion was suddenly busy, but in a moment, the people inside and outside the courtyard knelt down and listened excitedly to Feng Ying's announcement.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I hereby heard that the daughter of Lu Chenghui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous...... Specially given to marry the prince of Pingnan, choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage......"

It wasn't until Lu Chenghui received the holy decree that the people kneeling in the outer courtyard woke up like a dream, hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, and then stood up, looked at each other, and didn't know how to react for a while.

Feng Ying didn't seem to see the stunned and dazed people of the Lu family, smiled with joy on her face, and politely said "congratulations" to Lu Chenghui.

Lu Chenghui had no surprise on his face, holding the holy decree, he replied to Feng Ying's salute with a smile, and then handed the holy decree to Lu Chengyi, took the red envelope from the steward behind him and handed it over, said a few "thank you", and then sent Feng Ying out of the Lu Mansion with a gentle smile.

Lu Chengyi stiffly held the holy decree, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he glanced blankly at Lu Chengyao, the eldest lord of the Lu family, and he didn't care about asking more questions at this time, just waiting for Lu Chenghui to come back, and the three of them offered the holy decree into the ancestral hall together.

After finishing the incense to the ancestor and withdrawing to close the door, Lu Chengyao twisted his brows and asked Lu Chenghui: "There is no sign of this, okay, how could the saint think of giving the younger sister a marriage to the prince of the Pingnan Palace?" Having said this, Lu Chengyao suddenly remembered the strange scene in everyone's mouths before, and quickly had a guess in his heart, staring at Lu Chenghui in surprise, "I heard that King Pingnan dragged his third brother to drink together, that's what I said?" ”

"The prince mentioned this." Lu Chenghui nodded, his face was as gentle and effective as ever, he couldn't see a little ups and downs, and he didn't intend to say more, so he only entrusted Lu Chengyao and Lu Chengyi, "Since it is a holy marriage, our Lu family is not easy to neglect." The younger sister has to ask the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to worry more about this family matter. ”

Without waiting for Lu Chenghui to finish speaking, Lu Chengyi nodded hurriedly and solemnly replied: "This is nature!" Third brother, don't worry, I'll tell your second sister-in-law when I go back, and let her hurry up for the younger sister-" In the middle of the conversation, Lu Chenghui suddenly remembered another important matter, and hurriedly changed his words and asked, "Hey, these two Geng posts haven't been changed yet!" Those rules and etiquette have to be gone through from beginning to end. It's better to have a matchmaker, and I don't know if there is a person in the palace......"

Lu Chengyao frowned and listened to Lu Chengyi's chatter, the more he listened, the more helpless he became, and he couldn't help but interrupt Lu Chengyi's words: "What are you worried about?" The decree of marriage has been issued, where is the need to exchange Geng posts? Besides, it's just a matter for your sister-in-law and second brother and sister to worry about, what are you messing with? ”

Lu Chengyao said, frowned and sighed disapprovingly, glanced at Lu Chengyi helplessly, turned his head to Lu Chenghui and said in a deep voice: "It seems that it is the purpose of King Pingnan to go to the palace to ask for it." The Wei family is a family of military generals, with heavy troops, operating in the south for decades, with extremely high prestige and heavy lifting. The saint has been jealous of the Wei family in the past few years, and such a marriage is not a good thing for the Lu family. Our Lu family is no better than the noble family of the Xie family and the Wang family, a civil official, never intersected with the military attaché, and you were promoted to Shangshu again, and now at this juncture, marrying the Wei family is undoubtedly pushing the Lu family to the wind! I don't know what the Holy One is going to do. ”

"It's not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing." Lu Chenghui calmly took Lu Chengyao's words, nodded, and his voice was gentle and calm, "What the Holy Lord plans is not something you and I can guess. Several princes have their own merits, and it is too early to say this, the Lu family only keeps their duty, and we don't care about others, and we don't have to care. ”

Lu Chengyao frowned and listened to Lu Chenghui's words, was silent for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "It's okay." ”

Lu Chengyi laughed twice, listened to Lu Chengyao and Lu Chenghui's words, opened his mouth, but still didn't interject, and when Lu Chengyao left, Fang chased Lu Chenghui into the Weinan Courtyard, raised his hand and waved away the girl in the courtyard, and finally sent down the tense expression, and asked Lu Chenghui with a frown: "Third brother, didn't you tell me on the tenth day of the first month that you were not in a hurry with the Wei family, and let your second sister-in-law go back to the Wei family first?" Why did all the decrees of marriage come down in a blink of an eye? Could it be that you really told King Pingnan before? ”

Lu Chenghui listened to Lu Chengyi's chatter as usual, and while motioning for Lu Chengyi to sit, he smiled unhurriedly: "The prince told me about this before, and I also responded to his words." ”

"You don't disagree? How did you still respond? Lu Chengyi was dizzy when he heard this, and he felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it, "King Pingnan is a cheerful person, although sometimes he doesn't speak well, but he is not a person who oppresses people with power. "Besides, with his third brother's temperament, if he makes up his mind, even if King Pingnan coerces and tempts, this thing will not be possible.

"Second brother, don't ask this yet, I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while." Lu Chenghui shook his head with a smile, and didn't answer Lu Chengyi's words, but asked, "How about you tell me about that kid from the Wei family?" ”

Lu Chengyi glanced at Lu Chenghui suspiciously, thought about it, and nodded hesitantly: "When your second sister-in-law mentioned it to me before, I paid attention to the prince of Pingnan Palace. Our eldest man looks different from the woman in the house, although the prince looks cold, but he is also a big husband, he acts like a general, and he can protect his sister! ”

The disaster on Mangshan back then, he still thinks about it with horror. He didn't know the reason for this, but the third brother had been secretive about this matter, and no matter how dull he was, he knew that it was unusual. The third brother pays attention to the Wei family, and he can guess one or two. If you want to protect your sister, the Wei family is undoubtedly the best choice. Besides, this family business is still the Wei family's own request to come to the door, although there is a bend in the middle, but it is also a good thing that it has been settled in the end!

"I have the same opinion as my second brother. Now that the marriage has been decided, there is no need to mention anything else. Lu Chenghui lightly blocked Lu Chengyi's doubts, waved his hand and smiled, "It's just that I have to trouble my second sister-in-law." ”

"You don't have to say that! The younger brother and sister are not there, these should naturally be done by your second sister-in-law, she was originally going to prepare a dowry for Sister Yun'er, but now it is just right that she has prepared the family affairs of the younger sister, and she is also happy to be busy. Lu Chengyi agreed, then left the Weinan Courtyard, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Wang to tell him about it.

Lu Chenghui sent Lu Chengyi out, turned back to the study, looked at the box on the table, and quietly came out of his mind for a while. This matter is the fault of the Wei family. King Pingnan is an impatient son, he has always liked to act rashly, since he responded to the previous son, even if King Pingnan does not ask for marriage, there will be other ways to get married. Today's result is also expected, with such a premise, even if the younger sister is a little reluctant, the people of the Wei family will be more or less considerate, at least they will never wronged the younger sister. That girl is very good at judging the situation, and with her temperament, she can hold up for a year or two.

As for the kid of the Wei family, he didn't worry about it from the beginning, how could his daughter Lu Chenghui not even be able to accept a stunned young boy?

Just thinking about it, I heard the big steward Lai outside hurriedly report: "Master, the girl is here-"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lu Wan's face slightly red and entered the house, with a little anger in her eyes, she ran to the desk in a few steps, looked up, frowned, and asked in a rather complaining tone: "Did Dad Qian'er respond to the proposal of Pingnan Wangfu?" ”

Because of the matter of Jingfeng Pharmacy, Lu Wan asked Zheng Xinghe and Zhao Xiaosi to pay attention to the people in Pingnan Wangfu early in the morning, plus a few "tricks" with Wei Jie, she can guess how many points the people of Pingnan Wangfu are acting, even if they are a little arrogant and unreasonable, but they will not be forced, otherwise, the Wei family will not send a message to Lu Mansion first, and it is not more simply to ask for a decree directly?

The most strange thing is that her father just walked out of the palace gate with King Pingnan in full view of everyone, and now the holy decree of marriage has come down, if there is nothing in the middle, don't say that she doesn't believe it, even the green branches can see that something is wrong! What's more, when her father asked her what she said before, she didn't understand at first that she thought her father had taken a fancy to Wang Yu, but when she talked about the Wei family, she suddenly woke up, and her father clearly took a fancy to Wei Yu!
