2. On proximity
Yin Lijiao didn't come home until late, she didn't expect her father to scold her as soon as she got home.
"I said, what kind of system is this, you girl? The girl's family likes to be wild so much? Usually it's okay to have nothing to do, but today I was stunned that the people of the Lu family waited for you for a long time but didn't wait for anyone, and finally had to leave first. "Yin's father blows his beard angrily and stares." How big is your face? If you offend the Lu family, can you bear it? ”
Master Li on the side was busy appeasing. "Don't be angry, looking at the appearance of the Lu family, it doesn't look like he has been offended, so let's sit down and say calmly."
She was stunned when she was scolded. "What Lu family?"
Li Shiying. "It is the Lu family of Huainan Mansion, the mansion of the founding general and the head of the country."
"Oh!" She was still a little confused. "Wait for me? The people of the Lu family are waiting for me? Why are you waiting for me? She never remembered that she knew anyone from the Lu family.
She has only been in this world for two years, and although she doesn't know the Lu family in Huainan Mansion, she also understands that it is a family of high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor who is far away from the class she is in now.
Now she was told that the people of the Lu family were looking for her, which really made her feel confused for a while.
Father Yin calmed down his anger, and thought of a not-so-good possibility, and couldn't help but be angry and worried. "You girl, you usually don't have a clear one, but who have you offended?"
She went over and grabbed his arm. "Dad, don't you know what kind of person I am? Although I am greedy for fun, I have always been a person who does not offend me, I do not offend others, and I do not do things very well. ”
Father Yin brushed her hand away and snorted angrily. "Who knows you!" That being said, it can be seen that he believes in her as a human being.
"Hey, hey!" She cheekily pulled back his arm and smiled coquettishly. "Dad, don't be angry. By the way, they didn't say why they were looking for me? ”
"No, I just left a message before leaving, so that our father and daughter should go over to find their old lady in the morning." Father Yin's face was deep and solemn, as a petty official, he would regard the summoning of Huainan Mansion as a major event.
"Dad, don't worry, there must not be anything so bad, in order to get up early tomorrow, I will go to sleep first?" She rubbed softly in Yin's father's arms, where she looked like a fierce girl, she was clearly a cute and docile cat.
Father Yin looked at her well-behaved appearance and was distracted, probably thinking of her not being able to marry again, sighed and waved his hand. "Go ahead!"
"Okay."
Yin Lijiao already had a problem with lying in bed, in order not to affect her early tomorrow, she really forced herself to sleep when she turned her head. After all, the Lu family in Huainan Mansion is not something that ordinary people can offend.
The next morning, the father and daughter went out together.
Just walked two steps, and before he got close to the carriage, he was stopped by Shen Zhifu, who came out of the palace, and he led Shen Yashu, who was not very willing, over. "Are you going to the Lu family?"
Yin's father should be. "Yes! Is there something wrong with the prefect? ”
Shen Yashu glanced at Yin Lijiao coldly, and Yin Lijiao made a grimace back.
"Here's the thing." Governor Shen's eyes showed a look of expectation. "Shu'er hasn't seen anything big since she was a child, and now that you have this opportunity, I hope you can take Shu'er to the legendary Huainan Mansion to see and understand, and you can have a long vision."
"Isn't that okay?" It was Yin Lijiao who replied. "They only let me and my father go, and we really don't dare to add another person. This is the Lu family, I think we still have to be cautious in doing things. Uncle Shen, you said yes, right? ”
She has always understood that although the Shen Governor's Mansion is good to her, it is all because she is useful. In fact, he is more sleek than anyone else, more realistic than anyone else, and more greedy than anyone else. He asked Shen Yashu to follow, just hoping that his daughter could meet a fate in Huainan Mansion with her beauty.
For example, which prince came and went from Huainan Mansion, or even the royal family?
But she didn't want to do this pedal, especially Shen Yashu's pedal.
When Shen Yashu heard this, her beautiful eyes showed a look of anger. "I don't know what to do, are you willing to go with you?" She was arrogant, she didn't want to rely on Yin Lijiao, so she snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"Huh?" Shen Zhifu stretched out his hand to Shen Yashu's back, then sighed, and said to Yin Lijiao: "Since Gillian ......"
"Uncle Shen, it's Ah Li."
"Okay, it's Ah Li, since Ah Li said so, Uncle Shen is not embarrassed." He knew that Yin Lijiao's temper was eccentric, and no one could do anything about it, so he could only suppress the dissatisfaction and pity in his heart.
Yin's father originally planned to agree, but after hearing Yin Lijiao's words, he also acquiesced to her meaning. "Then the prefect, let's go first."
"Go ahead! Go early and come back early and come back to tell us what Huainan Mansion is like. ”
"Nature."
Yin Lijiao's father and daughter said goodbye to the Shen Governor's Mansion and got into the carriage and drove all the way to Huainan Mansion.
It's the same city, so it's not far away, but it takes a moment to get there.
It is worthy of Huainan Mansion, and the style of its main entrance is conceivable, broad and solemn. There were also armed soldiers on both sides.
Fortunately, as soon as their carriage stopped, they were greeted by an old man dressed in an elegant manner, otherwise they would have been interrogated. At first, Yin Lijiao thought that this was the so-called Old Lady Lu, but she didn't want the other party to open her mouth and know that the other party was just an old entourage beside Old Lady Lu.
She felt embarrassed in her heart, worthy of Huainan Mansion, even if she was just an entourage, she was dressed more luxuriously than ordinary people, and she had much more temperament.
The old man led them all the way in, zigzags, turned left and right, and walked for a long time before they arrived in front of the courtyard where Mrs. Lu lived.
She had never seen what the real palace was like, but now when she saw the leader of Huainan Mansion, she had a feeling of entering the palace, and she couldn't help but have a sense of restraint for countrymen entering the city.
Sweat!
"Poof!" Probably because she felt too emotional, she thought she was funny, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud. After laughing, she thought that it shouldn't be like this, so she quickly covered her mouth and winked innocently at Yin's father, who reprimanded her with his eyes.
The old man who led the way glanced back at her, nodded kindly, and didn't say anything.
She has a good impression of this amiable old man. The other party has no power posture of looking down at people at all, how can a little maid like Shen Mansion look down on people, it's really annoying.
After entering the courtyard, they did not walk long before they came to a pavilion, where no one was seated, but there was another old man pruning foliage plants beside the pavilion.
The old man who led the way shouted respectfully. "Old lady!"
Just looking at the other party's back, I feel that the temperament is transcendent, with an imposing momentum that ordinary people are not prepared for. When he turned around, the momentum of not being angry and arrogant could make people guess his identity.
This is the world-famous founding general and abbot, the old lady of the Lu family in Huainan Mansion.
Before she could figure out whether to call the old lady or the general, the other party opened her mouth. "You are Yin Tongju and his daughter Yin Lijiao, right?" Although he is very high, he does not give people a high-profile sense of alienation at all, but has a warm smile, and is very amiable.
Father Yin returned to his senses. "The lower official brought his daughter to meet the general."
Yin Lijiao immediately spoke out respectfully with her father. "The little girl meets the general." Roar...... Such serious rules are really uncomfortable.
"Don't shout like that, we will all be a family in the future, why be so restrained." Old lady Lu first made a posture of helping up in front of Yin's father, and when Yin's father raised his head, he came to Yin Lijiao's front and looked at her carefully.
Family?
Yin Lijiao and Yin's father looked at each other puzzled, but it was not easy to ask more, so they suppressed the doubts in their hearts, wanting to see what the other party would say next.
Old Lady Lu looked at her and nodded as if she was very satisfied, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually widened, and then spoke. "Yes, a simple and straightforward girl."
Hearing this, she felt more and more weird.
"The girl is seventeen?" Old lady Lu asked suddenly.
"Hmm!" She nodded with confused eyes. It was the first time she had ever met someone who spoke to her in such a tone that she thought she was still young.
"Not bad." Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "My grandson is twenty years old, and he looks good, whether it is temperament or others, he is quite compatible with you." ”
"Huh?" She froze.
Dare to love the other party is saying kiss for his grandson? However, she looked down at herself, and then thought about her family background and the reputation of her grandmother's family, she should have thought wrong, right?
Old lady Lu has always seen people accurately, so it is easy to see what she thinks. "Don't doubt it, I just want you to marry my grandson."
Hearing this, she and her father were shocked.
Father Yin hurriedly said: "General, this ......" It's not that he doesn't want to agree, but this thing is really unbelievable. What kind of virtue does his own daughter have, he knows it very well, how can he be delusional to be favored by the Lu family?
"How?" Mrs. Lu pretended to be strict. "Isn't it that Yin Tong will not agree?"
"No, no, no......" Yin's father immediately explained. It's not that Xia Guan didn't agree, but he felt that things were too unbelievable, after all, how could Xia Guan's family climb to the Lu family. ”
"As long as you agree, our Lu family doesn't pay attention to what is right, only whether the parties are suitable or not." Old lady Lu looked at Yin Lijiao with satisfaction. "I have heard of the deeds of the Yin family's daughter, and I have also learned about it carefully. Not bad! ”
Yin Li Jiaomo, isn't it that the people who stand tall have special tastes?
Old Lady Lu continued: "Of course, this matter will not force you, you can go back and think about it carefully, how about giving me an answer another day?" ”
They didn't dare to really put up a fight, and Father Yin said with a lot of doubts. "It's a qiē, but it's up to the general to have the final say."
After a few people said a few words casually, the Yin family's father and daughter retired.
Old lady Lu looked at Yin Lijiao's departing back thoughtfully. "It stands to reason that Xun'er should have returned to the capital yesterday, why hasn't she arrived home yet? Originally, I was thinking about letting him meet this girl today. ”
The old attendant replied respectfully: "Xu is there been a delay on the road, and the second son is probably about to arrive." ”
Old lady Lu bowed her head slightly and did not say anything more.
The father and daughter of the Yin family were in a daze all the way, especially Yin's father, who was born in ancient times and had a deep class concept, seemed to have entered a state of wandering spirit, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Yin Lijiao was fine, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Yin's father's eyes. "Dad, come back to your senses."
Father Yin came back to his senses and asked, "Do you know any son of the Lu family?" ”
"I don't know." She shook her head, and then asked, "Which son?" Could it be that there are still several sons in the Lu family? ”
"There are two, the eldest son Lu Yi and the second son Lu Xun, both of whom are unmarried. But no matter which son you are, you don't deserve it. ”
"Daddy!" She pouted. "How can you say that about your daughter?"
"Daddy is telling the truth."
At that moment, a female voice rang out. "I've seen the eldest prince."
They followed the prestige and saw that it was a maid who looked like she was not of low grade and saluted a handsome man in plain clothes, which is the so-called eldest son, Lu Yi.
Lu Yi bowed to the maid with a detached face, and when he walked in front of the Yin family's father and daughter, he also politely bowed his head to greet him, and then walked past them.
Yin Lijiao turned to look.
He is the eldest prince Lu Yi? It looks like a dragon and a phoenix among people, but it looks a little weaker, not like the background of a military general's family.
She thought, the person Mrs. Lu asked her to marry should be him, right? He's the boss after all. In the case that neither of them has a partner, he first has an elder brother and then a younger brother has a family.
"Dad, you go back first, I'll meet him in the past." With that, she chased after her.
"Huh? Girl. "Father Yin wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
