Chapter 25 Proposal

Lu Qian's reaction surprised Lu Hong.

He didn't think that one mouth could impress Ling Jingshu! Ling Jingshu even rejected herself, how could she fall in love with Lu Qian, who was two years younger than her, and was inferior to herself everywhere?

Lu Hong frowned and reminded in a deep voice: "If Cousin Shu rejects you, you can't keep pestering her." The two brothers grew up together, and he couldn't be more clear about Lu Qian's stubborn nature.

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently: "Cousin Shu will not refuse me." ”

Lu Hong: ""

Where did he get his confidence?

Lu Qian didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Lu Hong stood in place for a long time, motionless. Her handsome face was overflowing with regret and pain

Mrs. Ling's birthday banquet was held for three days in a row.

After the birthday banquet, everyone in the Ling Mansion was exhausted. However, there are still a lot of follow-up things to be busy, and the ladies are still not idle.

The trivial affairs of the inner house are divided by several daughters-in-law, and although the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, Sun, has returned to the house, she will only live for a while and return to the capital. Don't meddle in this mess of trivial matters. Accompany Mrs. Ling and talk to the Ling family every day, leisurely.

Li and the others are not so lucky, just busy taking stock of the congratulatory gifts, accounting for the expenses of the birthday banquet, etc., is enough for people to have a headache.

Ling Jingshu had been busy for a few days, and she was also a little tired. Fortunately, after sternly rejecting Lu Hong that day, Lu Hong never appeared in front of her again, which finally made her feel much better.

"Sister Shu, come to my aunt."

Ling Shi beckoned kindly and motioned for Ling Jingshu to step forward. No matter how reluctant Ling Jingshu was, she had to step forward and call her aunt softly.

Lu An sat beside Ling, and his gaze naturally fell on her.

It was like being stared at by a greedy and vicious snake, and the whole body immediately tensed and stiffened. This was completely a subconscious reaction of the body, and Ling Jingshu couldn't control it no matter how calm and calm she was.

Ling Jingshu calmed down and saluted Lu An: "I've seen my uncle." ”

Lu An smiled and asked amicably and casually, "Sister Shu, listen to your aunt, you are good at growing famous peonies." What varieties have you grown? Tell me about it. ”

His gaze swept over Ling Jingshu's beautiful face and slender figure secretly and quickly.

Since Lu An arrived at the Ling family, he has been busy with socializing and rarely stays in the inner house on weekdays. Ling Jingshu deliberately avoided again, it was the first time that the two of them were so close and spoke alone.

The stomach kept churning, and the feeling of nausea and vomiting returned.

It was stronger than Lu Hong's fingers touching her.

Ling Jingshu forced herself to suppress the feeling of nausea, her pretty face turned slightly white, and her expression was quite calm: "Aunt must be exaggerating." Actually, I'm just passing the time with nothing to do. ”

"You girl, you just don't want to ask for credit at all. I have accompanied your uncle to the peony garden and pointed out all the peonies you planted to your uncle. Your uncle is full of praise! ”

Ling Shi smiled and took Ling Jingshu's delicate hand: "However, the girl's family doesn't want those false names." You are so clever that we can all see it! ”

In the past two days, the Ling family asked twice in private, Lu Qian's attitude was very firm, he liked Ling Jingshu, and he would not marry her.

The son born to himself, how stubborn his temperament is, the Ling family knows best. Helplessly, I pondered this family business. Ling Jingshu is two years older than Lu Qian, and the age difference is not too big. It is also appropriate to set up a family affair first, and then get married after a few years

Thinking about it like this, Ling looked at Ling Jingshu's gaze a little more affectionately.

"My aunt praised it so much, and my niece was really ashamed." Ling Jingshu pretended to hang her head shyly, and naturally moved closer to Ling's side.

This couple, she also hated to the core. However, it was better to be close to the Ling clan than to Lu An.

Ling smiled kindly: "When a family speaks, there is no need to hide it, and there is no need to be polite and pretentious. My aunt really likes you! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Fifth Master Ling again, and joked half-truthfully: "Fifth brother, I am very close to Sister Shu'er, and I like it very much." Let Sister Shu be my daughter-in-law! ”

Ling Wuye didn't take it seriously, and smiled casually: "Okay, then we'll make a decision." ”

If the Ling family really intends to get married, Lu Hong is outstanding in learning, has good character and good looks, and is the eldest son of the Lu family, such a good family matter, how can it not insult Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu's heart sank.

Damn Lu Hong!

She had already rejected him mercilessly, and he even begged the Ling family to propose marriage for him

However, after all, children's affairs are a big deal, and such child's play casually doesn't count. The Ling clan was just testing Fifth Master Ling's reaction. quickly opened the topic: "Sister-in-law, when do you and your eldest brother plan to return to the capital?" ”

Sun replied with a smile, "I would like to stay longer." However, the old man was busy with affairs in the Ministry of Industry, and he only took a two-month long vacation, and he had to delay a lot of time on the road. So, we'll stay a few more days and we'll have to pack our bags and go. ”

Ling Shi was a little regretful: "I thought I could get together with my eldest brother and sister-in-law for a few more days!" ”

At this time, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the traffic is very inconvenient, and Jizhou and Luoyang are thousands of miles apart, and it is very inconvenient to move around. After this time, we will meet again in the future, and I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey again.

When Ling said this, Mrs. Ling was also a little sad.

She is 70 years old this year, and she only looks forward to a full house of children and grandchildren around her knees. But as soon as the birthday is over, one by one they have to go their separate ways

After everyone asked for peace and retreat, Old Lady Ling deliberately left Ling to speak alone.

"Ah Hui, what you just said to the fifth child is true? Have you discussed it with your uncle? ”

Ling nodded with a smile: "How dare I talk about such a big thing." I have discussed it with the lord a long time ago, and the lord has a very good impression of Sister Shu'er, and he is also very much in favor of marrying the Ling family. ”

Old Lady Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared between her eyebrows: "It's not wrong to be an uncle and a heart-to-heart, it's not inappropriate, it's also a happy event to kiss and kiss." ”

Ling Shi coughed, looking slightly embarrassed, and lowered his voice and said, "Marriage is indeed a happy event. However, there are some discrepancies between what I said earlier. ”

Old Madam Ling was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What is the discrepancy?" ”

"The person I want to propose is not Ah Hong," Ling's expression became more and more embarrassed, but he had to confide the truth: "It's Ah Qian!" ”

Old Lady Ling: ""

She heard her right!

Old Lady Ling couldn't believe her ears: "Ah Hui, what did you say?" You're not proposing marriage for Ah Hong? ”

"I asked Ah Hong, he wanted to concentrate on his studies and didn't want to get married early. I thought, this family business is over. Ling smiled bitterly and sighed: "I never thought that Ah Qian would say that he liked Sister Shu, and he made a fuss about asking me to propose."

"What nonsense!" Old Lady Ling finally recovered from the shock and blurted out: "Ah Hong hasn't decided to marry yet, where can I get him." ”

Not to mention, in the eyes of Old Lady Ling, Lu Qian is still a child who has not grown up. Where to understand what is like and what is marriage.

Ling sighed again: "Yes, I also scolded him like this at that time. But he was stubborn as if he was stunned, and said that he would not marry his sister in this life. If I don't propose marriage for him, he will be lonely and talk a bunch of bastard things in the future. Fortunately, he told me in private, and if his father found out, he would be furious! ”

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days, Ah Qian has been weak since he was a child, and his temperament is also a little willful and arrogant. If you marry Sister Shu, who is two years older, it is also a good thing. First, he complied with his wishes, and secondly, Sister Shu was careful and calm, and she could take care of him more in the future. ”

Old Lady Ling calmed down, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "It makes sense for you to think so. However, in this way, I can't help but feel wronged by Sister Shu. It will take a few years before you can get married. ”

Lu Qian is only twelve years old, and his weak little body has to be at least sixteen before he can get married. In this way, Ling Jingshu had to wait until she was eighteen years old to get married, and her youth was delayed in vain.

Ling Jingshu has been gentle and submissive since she was a child, and she is the most favored by Mrs. Ling. Old Lady Ling thought that Ling Jingshu would have to stay up until the old girl could get married, so she hesitated in her heart.

"Mother, I understand what you said." Ling Shi held Mrs. Ling's hand and pleaded softly: "I also know that I have wronged Sister Shu in this way." But Ah Qian was desperate to marry her, and I couldn't resist his temperament, so I had to open my mouth to my mother with a cheeky face. As long as the mother is willing to nod, it is expected that the fifth brother will not refuse. ”

Old Lady Ling frowned and groaned, her face hesitant.

Sister Shu is a granddaughter, and Ah Qian is a grandson. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is not a taste in the heart of any one who has been wronged.

Seeing that Old Lady Ling did not refuse, Ling was relieved, and said with a sincere face: "Mother, I am the aunt of Sister Shu's son-in-law, and I naturally cherish her in my heart. In the future, when Sister Shu marries into the Lu family, I will definitely treat her well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Old Lady Ling finally sighed: "That's it! Since you have this heart, I will make the decision and answer it first. On the fifth side, it's up to me to tell him. ”

As he spoke, he said again: "Ah Hui, don't forget what you said today. In the future, you must treat Sister Shu well, and don't let her be wronged. ”

Seeing that she had persuaded Mrs. Ling, Ling was both happy and excited in her heart, and replied without thinking: "If my mother is still not at ease, I swear here." If he can't stand Sister Shu in the future, let me thunder and thunder in the sky, and I won't die well. ”

Old Lady Ling glanced at Ling with disgust: "What are you doing with such a poisonous oath." As long as you have this heart, you can do it. ”
