Chapter 65: The Turning Point
finally said what she wanted, Lu Binrou was like a thousand pounds of burden, she nestled in her mother's arms and was no longer willing to move.
Xie touched his daughter's hair lovingly, and slowly told her about the plans of several elders on the day of the Shangyuan Festival.
She said that since they returned to the capital, the Xie family has sent several letters, all of which are Binrou's grandmother, and the old lady of the Xie family urged Binrou to go to the Xie family to live for a while. Several elders planned to let her go to her grandfather's house in Rongzhou, Jiangnan to live temporarily for some time, and the elders in Beijing waited for an opportunity to withdraw from the marriage.
It's just that because of Princess Cheng's door-to-door incident, everyone is a little at a loss, so this scheduled trip was delayed.
Lu Binrou was a little hesitant, except when she was very young, she was taken by her mother to live in her grandfather's house, and she never went to Jiangnan since. She was a little apprehensive about suddenly going to such a far away and unfamiliar place alone.
But looking at her mother's expectant eyes, she thought about it and agreed to her mother's request to go out for a temporary stay.
Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief and asked her daughter to borrow it from her mother's house thousands of miles away, how willing she was in her heart. It's just that if you want to quit your family, you have to have some operation, and your daughter's current age, and you will have to go out to socialize in the next few days.
Moreover, the Xie family is a big family of poetry and books, Lu Binrou went, and there were grandmothers and several aunts who taught etiquette, and no one could say any gossip.
Lu Binrou saw that Xie's brows were slightly locked, knowing that she was also worried, she wanted to divert her mother's attention, so she begged: "Mother, can you tell me more about my grandfather's family?" ”
Xie Shi's attention was really drawn, she took a sip of tea, and slowly told her daughter.
The ancestral home of the Xie family is in Rongzhou, it is really a scholarly family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, Lu Binrou's grandfather, Xie Songnian's father Xie Songnian is a famous Confucian in the dynasty, he is called Yuanshan, known as Mr. Yuanshan, inherited the Yunting Academy opened by the ancestors, and in his hands Yunting Academy was thoroughly carried forward, and the peach and plum are all over the world.
It's a pity that Xie is his youngest daughter, and Mr. Yuanshan died young, and this grandfather, Lu Binrou, has no chance to see him.
And the children of the Xie family, a few outstanding ones are also like their grandfather, they are teachers in their own Yunting Academy, and the rest of the children of the Xie family are not many of them now, and the few officials are also outside, and there is no official in Beijing, so Lu Binrou came back these days, and there were no relatives from his grandmother's side.
Mother said that the women of the Xie family have all studied poetry and books since childhood, learned calligraphy and painting, and half of the Lingxiu in Rongzhou City was occupied by the daughters of the Xie family. She smiled and said that Lu Binrou went to her grandfather's house, just to learn from her sisters, and to get involved in the aura, so as to save her father from being burdened by her father.
Lu Binrou was very happy to agree on the surface, but in fact, she wanted to pout her lips in her heart, her mother is really a person who likes to chant poetry and do it right, and loves wind and snow, but she has become her own son, how much thought has she put into it? And the Lu family started with martial arts, and the father is as the mother said, looking at the family style of the Lu family, looking at the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, those century-old families are not necessarily comparable.
Besides, Lu Binrou secretly fought for her father, her father Lu Zhun back then, I heard that he was called the double wall of the capital with Duan Qishan, the king of Cheng, and the characters must be no different.
After chatting with her mother, she returned to the yard, and the guard Lu Meng came to report, saying that she had gone to inquire about the affairs of the Tian family again, and the girl of the Tian family was indeed called Stupid Niu, saying that the rumors were a little stupid, and she couldn't speak or walk when she was two years old. But because she didn't come out to see anyone, and the Tian family's own family members all died in the fire, so it was impossible to find out if she knew martial arts.
Lu Meng said, in fact, he could have checked more carefully, but because the girl told him not to alarm people, and he only relied on his own strength, there was only so much information that could be found. If you use the power of the government and ask the villagers in detail, you may be able to find out in more detail.
Lu Binrou listened, pondered for a moment, and finally said forget it, don't check it anymore, no matter how big the action is, it should alarm the eldest brother. Lu Binqi has been busy for a while because of the assassin entering the palace a while ago, leaving early and returning late, Lu Binrou doesn't want him to be distracted by family affairs.
Lu Binqi seems to be a man of few words, but in fact, he grew up with his aunt since he was a child, and he has obtained the true inheritance of the Shen family very much, and he is thoughtful. But as soon as he encountered his sister's matter, he didn't know why things went wrong repeatedly, at first Merlin was in distress, and then the Shangyuan Festival changed, and every time the brother and sister were together but Lu Binrou was still suffering.
Lu Binrou knew that her eldest brother was under a lot of pressure because of this, so she didn't want to alarm him. Heartache accounts for the majority, and there are ...... If Lu Binqi's eyes focused on her sister, she doubted that the little ambiguity between herself and Gu Hui would still be able to hide it?
What a shame, forget it. There is nothing in her yard that is worth coveting, and Tian Wang doesn't have much contact with people, so let's stay and take a look first.
Let's talk about Duan Fengyue here, because of the bath bucket incident, he really suffered a great psychological impact. He didn't dare to go out of the house for a few days, and when he saw Lu Binrou, he felt very embarrassed. But Lu Binrou didn't know it, and called him over to ask this and that with a look of great interest in him, Duan Fengyue had not prepared several questions in advance, and racked his brains to round out the lie.
After several days of sleepless nights, the tangled little prince decided that he might as well leave.
In fact, he was very unwilling, he tried his best and endured all the hardships of pretending to be a woman, just to find Lu Binrou's bad character, so that he could use it as evidence to prove to his mother and persuade her to withdraw from the marriage. As a result, Lu Binrou's shortcomings had not been found, and he almost got in, and the little county king was a little confused, so he had to make a decision and withdraw quickly.
He felt that this Lu family was too strange, and it looked quite normal, but for some reason, it made him feel dangerous everywhere. Look at the eldest girl of the Lu family, smiling at everyone affectionately as if you had lent her hundreds of silver; and the cold-faced girl beside her, he was so frightened that he was scared when a wind swept over.
The master is not like the master, the girl is not like the girl, and if he stays in this courtyard, he will become strange.
After making up her mind, Duan Fengyue went to Lu Binrou to say goodbye.
Lu Binrou had always been suspicious of this Tian Wang, and she was paying attention to "her" all the time, but she didn't find anything out for so many days, and the main owner was just about to leave when he was injured.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, she inevitably felt a little guilty about her benefactor who didn't trust her so much, so she asked him to sit down, ready to have a long chat with "her".
