57. Lower hiring
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the second month of February, and the Pingnan Wangfu was busy in the morning, and the princess personally watched the people order the dowry, and carefully instructed the guard, and then watched the people send the guards out, and took more than 20 pairs of small servants tied with red silk to carry the dowry to the Lu Mansion.
Mrs. Wang of the second room of the Lu family was surprised to listen to the report of the girl's mother-in-law, and got up from the chair suddenly, and she didn't care about the second master Lu Chengyi, so she hurriedly ordered the girl's mother-in-law to welcome her out, and asked people to go out to go back to the three masters of the Lu family, the prince of Pingnan Wang Shizi personally brought someone to the dowry, where could she cope with it as a woman?
When Wei Ji arrived at the Lu Mansion, the three masters of the Lu family had just been pulled back in a hurry, and they never thought that it was the prince of the Pingnan Wangfu who personally sent the dowry gift, and it was such a big battle, which almost made people dazzled.
However, Lu Chenghui was calm from beginning to end, and there was no surprise on his face, so he entered the house unhurriedly, walked back to Weinan Courtyard with his hands behind his back, and drank tea slowly, with the slightest intention of going out to greet Wei Ji in about a year.
The second master, Lu Chengyi, looked at Lu Chenghui with an impatient expression, and couldn't help urging: "Third brother, the prince is almost here, I'm afraid it's not good if we don't go out to greet him......"
Lu Chenghui didn't raise his eyelids, and slowly interrupted Lu Chengyi's words: "It's okay, it's his Wei family who wants to marry Ah Wan, and he should always show some sincerity when he takes the kid!" You just sit down! ”
"But the late sister ......" Lu Chengyi glanced at Lu Chenghui again and again, opened his mouth, and his face was hesitant. That's the prince of Pingnan Wangfu, a person who is a little more horizontal than the average prince, and that one is a cold character, just hanging others, what if the prince of the world puts this grudge on the younger sister?
Lu Chengyi thought about it, and couldn't help but persuade: "The prince has a cold temperament, and the younger sister is young, although it is a good family, but if we neglect the prince, that master is angry, can we treat the younger sister well?" ”
"The second brother is too worried." Lu Chenghui glanced at Lu Chengyi funny, shook his head and said with a smile, "Our Lu family's girl is not bullied. Ah Wan's temperament, I know, it's good that girl doesn't let others suffer, where can I allow others to be angry with her? Just wait and see! ”
Lu Chengyi thought about it, and felt that his third brother made sense, the younger sister's temperament is like the third brother, the third brother can hide from his thoughts, and his brain turns quickly, only he makes others suffer, and no one else calculates him! The only time I fell in someone else's way was probably the incident on Mangshan in the nineteenth year of Qinghe...... But the Shen family was involved behind that tragedy, and there were too many twists and turns behind it, which could not be reasoned with ordinary people.
Lu Chengyao, the eldest master of the Lu family, was still in the study at this time, and when he received a report from the little servant, he didn't do anything, so he instructed the housekeeper in the house, so that he didn't neglect the prince, and the rest of the things were not asked, as if the old monk was sitting down, sitting quietly in the study and writing.
Not long after, the Wei family's men and horses had already arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the chief steward Lai had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and when he saw that Wei Ji had arrived, he hurriedly led people forward and saluted, and politely invited Wei Jie.
Wei Ji hummed dispensably, raised his hand and motioned for the little servant behind him to carry the dowry in, asked Qingchuan to hand the list to Lai Da Steward, and asked calmly: "Lord Lu can be in the house?" ”
"If you go back to the world, our master has just returned home." The chief steward Lai replied in a decent manner, and while inviting the guard, he loudly called someone to come in and send tea and water.
"Not necessarily." Wei Ji raised his hand to stop Chief Steward Lai's words, and his gaze stopped on Chief Steward Lai for a moment, "Since your Excellency is in the house, I will bother you to report it." ”
Lai Daste politely agreed, and still let people come up with tea, so he said goodbye and withdrew, and went all the way to Weinan Courtyard to return to Lu Chenghui and Lu Chengyi.
Lu Chenghui hummed, and poured a cup of tea for Lu Chengyi unhurriedly, his movements were idle and a little casual, as if he hadn't heard Lai's report at all.
Chief Steward Lai stood quietly with his hands down, without the slightest intention of urging.
Lu Chengyi glanced at Lai Daste, then at Lu Chenghui, took the teacup restlessly, reluctantly drank two sips, sat for a while, and saw that Lu Chenghui had no intention of going out to meet guests, so he couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Third brother, it's not good to let the prince wait for a long time......
"Second brother, don't worry, that kid from the Wei family has always been calm, so it's okay for him to wait." Lu Chenghui comforted Lu Chengyi lightly, took a sip of tea, and looked up at Lai Daste, "Does the girl have anything to say on the other end?" ”
Chief Steward Lai hesitated for a moment, shook his head and replied, "Back to the master, I haven't heard any instructions from the girl's side." After thinking about it, he pondered and asked, "The little one is going to Wangmei Courtyard to call back to the girl?" ”
"Well, you can go and ask your girl what she means." Lu Chenghui nodded, and calmly instructed Lai to be in charge.
The chief steward of Lai got his approval, hurriedly bowed and withdrew, and ran to Wangmei Courtyard again.
Lu Chengyi was confused, looked at Lu Chenghui with wide eyes, and didn't react a little. This dowry should have been watched by the elders, what could the younger sister and her little girl command?
After a while, the chief steward Lai turned back, and the words of Lu Wan, the messenger of 1510: "...... The girl muttered a sentence and said, 'This is too ostentatious', and asked the little one to bring a bowl of tea to the prince to drink, and persuaded the prince to go back early. I didn't say anything else......"
Lu Chenghui raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, mixed with a little helpless emotion, and raised his head to signal to Lai Daste: "Well, let's talk to the prince according to your girl's wishes." ”
Steward Lai was stunned for a moment, hesitated to look at Lu Chenghui's face, and saw that Lu Chenghui had no intention of going to see Wei Jie, so he had to nod his head and respond, and went to the living room to pass Lu Wan's words to Wei Jie.
"Back to the prince, our lord is not free at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the prince. The little one just went to ask the girl again, and the girl said that it was still a little cold this day, so she asked the prince to drink a cup of hot tea and go back early. ”
Wei Jie's face was unhappy, he couldn't see joy and anger, as if he had expected it, he only looked at Lai and asked, "This is your girl's original words?" ”
Lai Daste choked in his throat in one breath, almost coughed out, and hurriedly laughed: "Hui Shizi, this is what our girl means." ”
Wei Jian stared at Lai Steward for a moment, just frowned in Lai Steward's frightened worry, raised his feet and walked out, just took two steps and turned back, took a sip of tea on the table, and then instructed Lai Steward, "Master is leaving, you go and talk back to your girl." ”
Steward Lai looked at the lord known as the king of Yuedi in a daze, and turned back to take a sip of tea, and his eyes almost fell off. Just because of the girl's words? It's also too ...... cough cough cough, Steward Lai was so shocked that he was almost strained, coughed twice in Wei Jie's cold gaze, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went to Wangmei Courtyard to talk to Lu Wan.
