Chapter 067: Stubbornness
In the blink of an eye, it was a small year, and the men of Lufu got up early to sacrifice the god of the stove, and even Lu Tang, who was not present in previous years, also gave the king of the stove an unprecedented incense this year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lu Jinyi and Su Shi talked to the old lady in Jing'an Hall, and the old lady grabbed a few sacrificial stove candy and gave her the joy of the king of the stove.
The sacrificial stove sugar is mostly made of sugar paste or wheat candy, Lu Jinyi thought it was too sweet and greasy, so she grabbed it in her hand and thought about waiting for the fifth brother to come for a while and give it to him to eat.
Mrs. Lu didn't care, and said to Su Shi with a smile: "Your nephew and niece are going to celebrate the New Year in the capital this year, right?" I don't know if there are any arrangements for Jingu Garden...... If not, you might as well call them into the house and join us in the excitement. β
"Jiawan also went back to He's house, Jinyi didn't have anyone who could talk during the New Year, so it was good to let Su Qiao come over to accompany her, and it would save her from going out all day long."
The previous Lu Jinyi was idle, except for He Jiawan, there was no girl of the same age in the house, and Mrs. Lu was afraid that her baby granddaughter would be suffocated.
When Lu Jinyi heard this, she muttered in a low voice: "Grandmother said me like a leather monkey...... When am I going to go out? β
Old Mrs. Lu glanced at her with disgust, "What year have you been at peace?" I still remember that you hid from me and your mother last year, dressed up as a tomboy, and secretly went to the drunken Xianglou to drink, and got drunk and unconscious. If it weren't for your third brother who happened to pass by and found you, you wouldn't know where to be carried to! β
It was clearly her third brother who dragged her there...... Lu Jinyi gagged, "No, that's it." In previous years, I stayed in the house with my grandmother. β
Old Madam Lu stretched out her hand and poked her forehead, "You don't have a place to stay in the mansion." Let's just say that the year before last, you told Jiawan that you wanted to go to the lotus pond to put lanterns, but the lanterns were not placed, and people almost planted them in the pond. scared the whole family out of fear. β
Lu Jinyi didn't have much memory of this incident, so she smiled embarrassedly: "I will accompany my grandmother well this year and not go anywhere, you can rest assured, right?" β
Su Shi looked at her sworn appearance, and smiled: "What year did you not promise your grandmother that?" β
Lu Jinyi knew that she was wrong, grinned, and stopped talking.
Su Shi said to Mrs. Lu: "I haven't asked them what arrangements they have, so Ming'er will send someone to ask." If nothing happens, then call them to the house. β
Speaking of this, Su Shi remembered what Mrs. Lu told her a few days ago, she glanced at Lu Jinyi and said to Mrs. Lu: "Mother, I have already greeted the people of the Xue family about the incident you said. They probably won't send anyone to the door again. It's just my niece's side......"
"I can only plan again." She sighed softly, everything has pros and cons, and this is unavoidable.
Old Mrs. Lu understood that what she said was Xue Ming's desire to marry Lu Jinyi, and nodded, "That's good." As for your niece, I will also help you keep an eye on it in the future, and I will tell you when I meet the right one. β
As long as her precious granddaughter is okay, she is relieved...... Lu Jinyi also breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Shi didn't tell her clearly, so she could only pretend that she didn't understand at the moment and didn't interject.
But what Su didn't expect was that Xue Ming was more stubborn than he imagined, and when Yongping Hou's wife Yuan told him that Su didn't agree to marry his daughter, he almost had a rift with Su and asked him not to mention it again.
Xue Ming refused to give up, he said to the Su family: "How could she disagree, it must be that you didn't tell Mrs. Lu properly." Leave this matter alone, I'll go to my father for help. β
Yongping Hou was sent to the field some time ago, and he only came back not long ago, and Yuan didn't have time to tell him about it.
He didn't know that the Yuan family was hiding from him, and he asked to marry Lu Tang's niece for his son, but he was rejected by others, and when he heard Xue Ming's words that he still refused to give up, he almost died of anger.
"Mrs. Lu has refused, why are you still thinking about others?" Yongping Hou thought of this unsuccessful son, and he became angry in his heart, "There are so many ladies in Beijing, why do you fall in love with her?" She's Lu Tang's niece. Your mother only vaguely mentioned it to others, and she was already rejected. If you let the matchmaker come to the door with great fanfare, wouldn't you be driven out by the people of the Lu Mansion. You can afford to lose this person, but I can't afford to lose it. β
Xue Ming said: "Father, why don't you want to think about it, if I can marry Lu Tang's niece, our Yongning Marquis Mansion will have an in-law with Lu Mansion." When the time comes, Lu Tang will naturally help us, and you will not be looked down upon so much in the court. β
Lu Tang is a protΓ©gΓ© of Yang Gelao, and his power in the court over the years is no worse than Fu Shaotang...... If his niece marries into the Yongping Marquis Mansion, then Lu Tang will be Xue Ming's nominal second uncle, and when there is a good thing, he will not be worried about the Yongping Marquis Mansion?
Yongping Hou also understood what Xue Ming meant, but how could Lu Tang be so easy to provoke!
Not to mention that Lu Tang is not Mrs. Lu's biological son, even if he is biological, he and his niece are still separated from each other!
What's more, he heard that he didn't pay much attention to his group of nephews and nieces...... Will he favor the Yongping Marquis Mansion for the sake of a niece?
Yongping Hou felt a little difficult, but seeing his son's earnestness, he finally sighed, "Ming'er went down to the court, I'll help you go to Lu Tang to find out." Whether it will work out or not, I can't guarantee it. β
Xue Ming was very happy: "My son thanks my father for his success." β
"Don't rejoice too soon. I don't think Lu Tang will probably agree to marry his niece. Yongping Hou is still a little self-aware, even if she is the niece of the next room, he may not agree to let her marry into this down-and-out Hou Mansion.
As soon as the matter of the Lu Mansion sacrificial stove was finished, the maid happily went to Mrs. Lu to return to the ceremony, Lu Jinyi secretly thought, grabbed the candy for a morning, and finally was able to disperse, and sat and waited for her fifth brother Brother Zhao to come to ask for peace.
As a result, Brother Zhao didn't wait, but waited for an unexpected person - Forsythia came over with the two-and-a-half-year-old Brother Cheng to greet the old lady.
Forsythia was wearing a lotus lotus pigmented gown, and her face looked quite haggard, obviously much smaller than Su's, but she looked like she was almost the same.
The maid opened the curtain for her, and when she entered the door, she put Brother Cheng on the ground and let him walk to the old lady by himself.
Brother Cheng was raised to be white and fat, but he was not afraid of life, seeing so many people in the house, he just blinked his eyes a few times in confusion, and walked towards the old lady with his little short legs, knelt on the ground upright, and gave the old lady a big salute, his voice was crisp, and the words were not very clear: "Brother Cheng, please say hello to the old lady." β
He didn't dare to call Mrs. Lu's grandmother, because he didn't have a family tree, so he couldn't be regarded as the young master in the house, and of course he was afraid that Lu Tang would be unhappy when he heard it.
