Chapter 2 Marriage
A year later, Lu Taifu of the Yiguo Taifu Mansion was wearing a dark blue ink clothes, and a fine mutton fat jade carved lotus jade pendant was hung around his waist, swaying gently with the footsteps back and forth, frowning slightly anxiously, and staring at the direction of the gate with his eyes.
The people in the house were all dressed in blue cloth, cleaning the courtyard in no hurry, and each doing their own work, but their eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing in the direction of the gate, afraid of missing something.
After half a cup of tea, a wonderful person wearing an orange carved silk apricot blossom spring shirt and a green jade hairpin came in outside the door, and I saw her unsteady breath trotting in.
Mrs. Lu immediately greeted her: "Where's Miss?" ”
This little man is the maid of Taifu's Mansion, and he said with a slightly panting voice: "Miss is behind, tell me to report to the master first, Miss told the master not to worry, she is rushing back." ”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was also relieved, and after waiting for half a cup of tea, she saw that she hadn't come back, and turned her head to ask about it.
At this time, a woman who stepped on the moon-white elastic ink lotus shoes, wore a moon-white dark flower begonia single gauze skirt, and had a white cloud-shaped hosta on her head, and her face was like white jade.
This person is Lu Taifu's only daughter, Lu Mingyue.
Lu Mingyue was followed by a woman wearing a purple carved silk peony medicine Guangya clothes, and her smiling appearance was Lu Mingyue's maid brocade heart.
Lu Mingyue took two steps forward, and a melodious voice sounded: "Dad, I'm so anxious to find my daughter back, but what happened?" ”
Mrs. Lu stepped forward and took Lu Mingyue's hand and entered the living room, and Xiao Xiao and Jinxin stood behind Lu Mingyue.
Mrs. Lu opened his mouth and said: "The emperor doesn't know what to think today, he suddenly wants to marry you, I think that the holy decree is coming, so I will call you back first, so as not to wait for your father-in-law to come." ”
Lu Mingyue was puzzled, why did the emperor bother with that god, and asked, "Who do you want me to marry?" ”
After taking Lu Mingyue's words, he said anxiously: "Why does the emperor influence the marriage of my young lady." ”
Mrs. Lu immediately took her words: "Don't talk nonsense, don't have a head, since ancient times, the marriage has been a major event, and the words of the matchmaker have been the order of the parents, although I want Yue'er to find someone she likes, but the emperor is in charge, and it is a little difficult to disobey the will." ”
Taifu shook his head.
Lu Mingyue picked up the white porcelain teacup and drank a sip of the fine Biluochun, and heard the next person report: "Master, Miss, the holy decree has arrived." ”
Mrs. Lu immediately got up, and Lu Mingyue then got up and went out.
A large area knelt down in the courtyard, and Lu Taifu and Lu Mingyue knelt in the first place, listening to the father-in-law who was wearing a sapphire blue embroidered crane clothes, and read in a sharp voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Lu Mingyue, the daughter of Lu Taifu, has passed the age of Xuan, and is dignified and generous...... Special marriage and the king of Nangong is definitely a concubine, admire this! ”
Then a voice rang out: "Thank you, Lord Longne!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
Xiao Xiao thought in his heart, "Long live, I'm afraid I'm going to become a demon!" ”
After speaking, the slightly old father-in-law immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Lu up, and said words of joy: "Congratulations to Mrs. Lu, this is a great gift." ”
Mrs. Lu promised: "My emperor is kind, my father-in-law has worked hard, move into the house and drink coarse tea." ”
As he spoke, he also forced some silver taels into the father-in-law's hand.
The father-in-law pulled his sharp voice and said, "Mrs. Lu's heart, the slave has received it, and he hurried to the Absolute King's Mansion to read the holy decree!" ”
After putting away the silver taels, he said a few polite words, and walked out of the Taifu Mansion with a group of little eunuchs in high spirits.
At this time, Jin Xin asked the master, "But the emperor's seventh son, Nangong Jue?" ”
Mrs. Lu said: "It's him, the military power is in hand, and he is handsome and upright, how many women in the capital want to marry him, but I didn't expect it to fall on our Yue'er, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”
Xiao Xiao pouted angrily on the side, hugging for his own miss: "Why do you want our young lady to marry him, aren't so many people vying to marry him, he picks one at random, why rely on our young lady." ”
It seems that the prince deliberately wants to marry her young lady as the princess.
Lu Mingyue took a look at Yaoyao, and closed her mouth dissatisfied.
Lu Mingyue asked Mrs. Lu: "What is Daddy going to do?" ”
Mrs. Lu frowned: "I think, you go to the pavilion master to hide first, and I will negotiate with the emperor again to see if I can take back the will." ”
The corners of Lu Mingyue's mouth curled slightly, and she said to Lu Taifu: "Dad, I'm afraid that this holy decree can't be withdrawn, if you think about it, the king is in power, and he has to marry the daughter of a high-ranking prince as a concubine and him, and the emperor is afraid that he will never have the heart to withdraw." ”
Mrs. Lu knew that although he was in a high position and had no real power, he had an empty title and no real power, and the emperor seemed to have a plan.
Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Mingyue and said, "Is that to marry or not to marry?" ”
Lu Mingyue smiled slightly: "Marry!" ”
Lu Mingyue returned to her room, the plain room seemed a little monotonous, only the peach blossoms inserted in the white porcelain vase added a touch of color to it.
As soon as he returned to the room, he began to express his opinion: "Miss, why do you have to get married, if the emperor doesn't take back the holy decree, can't we still run?" The world is so big, can he find it? ”
After speaking, he sat on the stool with a puff.
Jinxin looked at Xiao Xiao's angry appearance, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances, and walked up to Xiao Xiao and said: "You can go, but the old man is too old to travel long distances, and besides, we are now in the capital, and we are weak in a single force, so what can we do to compete with the chasing soldiers." ”
Jinxin patiently explained to Xiao Xiao, then glanced at Lu Mingyue and said, "Who is our young lady, even if we get married, who can force young lady to do what young lady is unwilling to do?" ”
Thinking about it, he looked at his own young lady, who was already half-lying on the wooden chaise longue by the carved window, holding a book she had flipped through last night in her hand, and her eyes were focused on the words in the black silk column in her hand.
Since Miss wasn't worried, it seemed that she had her own plans, so she didn't say anything more, and went to do their own things with Jinxin.
To say that this big wedding came quickly, and it was in time for the spring season, which was originally a great joy, but I didn't want to be in the church, and the groom suddenly ran away......
