Chapter 038: The Past

The second lady of the Yan family was weak, and after chatting for half an hour, she showed her tiredness.

The matchmaker, Mrs. Xie Qi, has already asked for the list of the appointment gift, and she is very satisfied with the list drawn up by the Wen family, and she also met Lu Luo, and the purpose of the trip has been achieved.

"We're not going to bother." Mrs. Xie Qi took the initiative to retire.

Wen Shi left them for dinner, and they repeatedly excused themselves, saying that they would come back to disturb them another day.

Lu Luo and his mother sent Mrs. Yan and the matchmaker to the door of the hanging flowers.

From the Lu Mansion to the Yongxi Marquis Mansion, across most of the Beijing Division, the carriage was slow, and it took two hours.

Second Mrs. Yan was very tired and closed her eyes and took a nap.

"Lu Qijun is just a six-rank official, and his house is not small. There are some low-ranking officials in Beijing, and they can't afford to buy such a big house. On the way, Mrs. Xie Qi muttered, "I heard that the Lu family is a prominent family on Liangzhejiang Road. Looking at Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu's words, clothing, and the Lu family's house, it can be seen that the rumors are true, and the Lu family does have a reputation on Liangzhejiang Road. ”

Second Mrs. Yan closed her eyes, recuperated her energy, and muttered vaguely.

"The girl's surname is Lu, not Wen, and she was born in the Jiangnan Wang family, and her appearance is peugeot, I look very good, what do you say, second lady?" Mrs. Xie Qi said again.

Yan Xun and the Lu family got married, and it soon came out, and there was an uproar in Jingshi at that time.

However, the Yan family is a descendant clan and holds power, and outsiders do not dare to make fun of them, but instead make up for them. After all, Lu Luo is Lu Qijun's daughter, not Wen Lexi's niece.

After a generation, there is a lot of separation.

Mrs. Xie Qi tried her best to say something nice.

However, Lu Qijun's official position is too low, and when it comes to Lu Qijun's daughter, he will naturally lean on Wen Lexi. The Yan family and the eunuch got married, which cannot be erased.

Although the Yan family is prominent, they also know very well which people must not be offended.

Wen Lexi is someone they cannot offend.

"Hmm." Second Lady Yan still had her eyes closed.

Mrs. Xie Qi stopped at this time.

The carriage swayed, and Second Mrs. Yan closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously. It was almost when she arrived at the Yongxi Marquis Mansion that Mrs. Xie Qi woke her up.

Second Lady Yan combed her sideburns slightly.

When she arrived at the Yongxi Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Yan asked Mrs. Xie Qi to sit in her courtyard first, and she herself took the list of fixed gifts to meet her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yongxi Hou, Yan Xun's grandmother.

Mrs. Yongxi Hou is in her early seventies this year, a full twenty years older than Mrs. Yan, but her health is better than that of Mrs. Yan.

Second Mrs. Yan often thinks that she, as a daughter-in-law, will definitely die in front of the old lady.

When they arrived at the old lady's yard, the maid opened the curtain, and the second lady Yan asked the old lady to say goodbye.

The rest in the car made Mrs. Yan recover seven or eight points.

"Mother, this is the list of gifts that the Lu family wants." Second Mrs. Yan presented both sides of the list and sent it to the old lady.

The old lady took it, glanced at it a few times, and finished reading. She is seventy years old, clear-eyed, and much more energetic than the second lady, and the second lady Yan really envies her.

"What does the girl look like?" The old lady closed the list and asked the second lady.

When it came to Lu Luo's appearance, Second Mrs. Yan was first very satisfied, and she smiled and said to the old lady: "Mother, you can't think of it anymore." As soon as we met, I felt that the child was familiar, and I thought that I was destined for her. Mrs. Xie Qi said, 'The five girls are like virgins in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva', let me take a closer look, isn't it? ”

The old lady was slightly stunned.

Like Mrs. Yan, the old lady also believes in Buddhism.

"It's so good-looking, not like Wen Lexi?" The old lady was incredulous.

As soon as Yan Xun returned to Beijing, he quickly decided on this family business, which caught the whole family off guard.

The ladies of the Yan family often go to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager, and most of them have seen Wen Lexi.

When I heard that it was Wen Lexi's granddaughter, and thought of Wen Lexi's gorgeous appearance of men and women, I thought that Lu Luo was also the color of the city, which made Yan Xun fall in love at first sight.

Yan Xun is very picky. He is twenty-seven years old this year, and the Yan family and his grandmother's family don't know how many kisses they have told him, and he is not dissatisfied.

Now that Lu Luo has been decided, it makes people curious about what is so good about Lu Luo......

The old lady and others all guessed that Lu Luo must be like Wen Lexi and born beautiful.

"Five girls don't look like that." Second Mrs. Yan said, "Her mother is a little similar. ”

When the old lady heard this, she bowed her head slightly, and her heart was a little more settled. She doesn't like a bewitching granddaughter-in-law like a fox, as long as she doesn't like Wen Lexi.

"How do you behave in words and deeds?" The old lady asked again.

The fifth girl did not speak, but sat beside her without saying a word, and was a chaste woman; Mrs. Lu is soft-spoken, not a clumsy person, but she is not a good speaker. What to say and what not to say are very accurate and steady. Second Mrs. Yan said.

The old lady looked at Wen's handwriting, and was indeed a calm person.

I heard that Lu Qijun was a little unbearable, but I didn't expect that Second Mrs. Yan was quite satisfied with Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu Wu.

However, the five girls of the Lu family grew up in the old mansion of Huzhou Mansion, so it is no wonder that they have the bearing of the family.

"After the appointment ceremony, I invited Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu to come to the house, you can see for yourself." Second Lady Yan smiled, "You definitely like that kid." ”

The old lady bowed her head.

Regarding Mrs. Yan's words, the old lady was still quite relieved. She knows this daughter-in-law, and knows that the second lady has always had all reservations when she speaks, and she will never be exaggerated.

She said that if there is an eight, it is very good.

"The mother of the fifth girl, Wen, was divorced by the Wu family back then, and I don't know how many people still remember this. Speaking of which, it's disgraceful. Second Lady Yan sighed again.

The old lady also frowned slightly.

If Yan Xun revealed the slightest rumor before the marriage, the Yan family would definitely try their best to stop him.

Lu Qijun's daughter is really not a good match.

There are too many things that Lu Luo's identity can't be detailed, which will embarrass the Yan family.

Not to mention that Wen Lexi is a eunuch, this matter is related to reputation, just say that Lu Luo's mother Wen was divorced back then, and then remarried Lu Qijun, that is, remarried, and had a bad reputation.

At the beginning, the Wen family and the Wu family were married, and it was the old lady of the Wu family who agreed.

The old lady of the Wu family is a famous house, travels in the mountains and rivers on weekdays, apprentices and studies, does not touch the family much, and is a talented man.

His son was married, but the old lady of the Wu family couldn't find his person and didn't tell him. As a result, the appointment ceremony was given, but the old lady of the Wu family heard about it and hurried to Beijing.

"Ugliness is better than humiliation, and dirt is greater than palace punishment! Wen Lexi's niece, how can she enter the door of my Wu family? Do you want the face of the ancestors? Old lady Wu scolded.

He was a scholar and paid attention to integrity, and felt that marrying the niece of a eunuch was an insult to the family style and ruined his reputation.

He even made trouble in the imperial city.

Wen Lexi was also angry: "It's obvious that your Wu family asked to marry, and I didn't force you"

But Wen's shame and etiquette were understood, and she returned all the Wu family's appointment gifts, so as not to embarrass the Wu family.

The son of the Wu family refused, ran to the door of the Wen family and knelt down, begging the Wen family to change his mind.

Later, he was dragged back by the Wu family's house slaves, broke one of his legs, and locked up.

Wen is the niece of the eunuch, which originally discouraged many families, and no one was willing to lose this face and marry the eunuch; And she was forced to withdraw from her relatives and became a person who "remarried", and now no one cares about her anymore.

It is precisely because of this that she married Lu Qijun as her stepmother. Otherwise, with Wen Lexi's status, there will always be some shameless poor scholars who are willing to marry her as their original wife.

Lu Qijun didn't know what he thought, but he was willing to marry Wen.

However, I heard that Lu Qijun also worked hard back then, and invited a fellow villager of the Wen family to talk to the matchmaker, and repeatedly begged for relatives.

And Wen's parents are worried about their daughter's marriage, especially Wen's mother, who washes her face with tears all day long. Later, Lu Qijun went to ask for marriage, knowing that it was a stepfamily, Wen's parents thought about it again, but they didn't ask Wen Lexi, for fear of being stirred up again, so they decided on Lu Qijun.

Wen Shi seemed unhappy, and vaguely heard that she had committed suicide, as if she had held her breath, and was rescued later.

What the hell is going on, outsiders don't know.

It is precisely because of this family business, whether it is a colleague, a classmate, or a fellow villager, that Lu Qijun has a problem with his morality and is unscrupulous, so he respects him and stays away from him.

Lu Qijun's reputation stinks.

At that time, it was quite fierce, Wen Lexi was also disgraced, and the first emperor was also very angry with the Wu family.

The Wu Gongzi, who was married to the Wen family, was admitted to the Jinshi in his early years, chose Hanlin, and served in the Hanlin Academy, smart and handsome, with an unlimited future.

He doesn't need Wen Lexi's support, so he only likes Wen's character. likes other girls, but he is broken, and he is also in pain.

Later, because of this incident, the first emperor was dissatisfied with him and sent him to Jinghu South Road to be an official.

He still had a lost leg and didn't catch it properly.

Later, the Wu family also moved away from Jingshi and returned to their hometown.

The year before last, I also heard that Master Wu went to Beijing to report on his work, and others asked about him, and he said that he had no wife, no concubines, no children and no daughters. I don't know if it has anything to do with Wen's, but it sounds quite embarrassing anyway.

Second Mrs. Yan was also because of this incident, and when she saw Wen's, she looked at her curiously a few more times.
