Chapter 72: The Palace
A dinner party, the guests and hosts are happy!
Mrs. Cui was very happy because she had a good granddaughter-in-law, and she drank a few more glasses, but she was already a little drunk. XsHuoTXt
Lu Shi helped her and personally sent her to the upper room of the main courtyard, served her to rest in peace, and then came back.
When she got out of Mrs. Cui's yard, she saw that her sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, was still waiting for her.
She took her sister's hand and said with a smile, "Why don't you sleep yet?" But the newcomer to the bed? ”
Knowing that her sister was joking, Aunt Lu laughed along, "Look at what my sister said, my sister is not so unproductive." After so many days on the boat, it still feels like floating on water, where can I still sleep? ”
"When you can't sleep, come into my room. We haven't seen each other for many years, so let's talk about it tonight. Lu Shi took the girl's hand, and the two of them walked towards her yard.
"The girl followed Sister Qing to sleep, and Ah Yong was also taken away by Brother Yan." Aunt Lu said as she walked, "Sister, you also know, there are only two brothers and sisters in front of me, and now that the master is gone, Ah Yong's family affairs have not yet been settled, I am not happy in my heart, where can I still sleep?" ”
Speaking of Wu Yonglai, the Lu family also sighed with emotion, "According to your family background, it should have been settled in the early years." has dragged on until now, and the brother-in-law is gone, who is willing to marry his daughter? ”
"Who's to say it's not? The partial-born Ah Yong is that kind of character again, and he no longer refuses to listen to people's persuasion. If it's good, it's okay to find a small jasper. It's just that Ayong's child was spoiled by his father in his early years, and his vision was too high, so he had to find a stunning one. ”
Mrs. Lu chattered, and as soon as she talked about her son's relatives, she sighed sadly, "It's not that the stunning woman can't be found now, it's just that people like us are like us." High is not low, you can't ask for those foxes in the green building, and those from small families don't have good looks, this drag has dragged on to this day, Ah Yong is looking at twenty, but he doesn't worry about me. ”
She was full of bitterness, and she couldn't wait to tell her sister all her dissatisfaction.
Lu Shi patted her hand in understanding. "So. You're the one in our family? ”
Mrs. Lu knew who she was referring to, and nodded hurriedly, "One is that she has no father and no mother." It's nothing if she has a bit of beauty, and when the time comes, I can rule over her. Two. The old lady didn't like her very much, and there was something in the future. It's not going to be a big deal. ”
My sister's abacus is really good enough.
It's just that the Lu family doesn't want to be cheap, in her opinion, she is a lonely widow who reckons her father and mother, and she deserves to suffer a lifetime of sin.
Even if you get married. I also have to marry that kind of vulgar and unbearable old man.
Her nephew, Wu Yong, wants to have good looks and family background. It is also rich, how can it be given to her?
After listening to the girl's thoughts. Lu Shi couldn't help but snort coldly, "In the past few years, your horizons have become lower and lower. The little slut surnamed Luo is An Min's daughter, and you know what the relationship is between me and An Min, and I want to put her slut in your house. It's going to be a hindrance to my eyes, isn't it? ”
Mrs. Lu didn't expect her sister to bring up the old story again, so she couldn't help but hesitate, "Where did I think that after so many years, sister, you still can't let go of that knot?" ”
"Can I let go?" Lu Shi suddenly turned his back, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if crying.
Aunt Lu was also silent, and after a long time, Fang handed over a Xuepa, "Sister, it's been so many years, why bother?" No matter how good Luo Youtian is, he has been dead for so many years. An Min is also a white bone in the ground, sister, you ......"
"Enough!" seemed to have revealed Lu's scars, and when Aunt Lu was still babbling down, Lu suddenly broke off with a burst of anger and interrupted her.
"Sister......" Mrs. Lu was a little at a loss, and in the dim light, she only saw something that seemed to be shining in her sister's eyes.
"It's because he's dead that I'm even sadder!" Lu Shi held the square handkerchief in his hand and clenched it tightly, as if he wanted to get water out of the handkerchief.
"He never looked at me squarely, never understood my heart!" She looked up to the sky and sighed, "You know what? What kind of desolate and miserable thing should a woman be when she is disliked by the man she loves? What if he died? The father's debt is paid by the son, and when he dies, let him and An Min's lowly breed compensate for it......"
Lu gritted his teeth and roared, in the dark night, that fair face was as hideous as a ghost, so frightened that Aunt Lu couldn't stop taking a few steps back.
"Sister......" her voice trembled again, as if she didn't know the woman in front of her who had grown up together.
"Alright, don't talk about it." After a while, Lu Shi seemed to come back to his senses, and waved his hand a little tiredly, stopping Aunt Lu's next words.
"Anyway, that can't marry Yong'er." She turned her head to look at her sister-in-law, her expression indifferent and indifferent.
"But what if Ah Yong really likes her?" Mrs. Lu still doesn't give up, after all, her son is the most important thing.
"Hehe, do you like it? Well, as long as she is willing to be a concubine, then let Ayong let her in! ”
Aunt Lu is a little messy, with Jinxin's appearance and background, will she be a concubine for her son?
She doesn't care, I'm afraid that Mrs. Cui won't agree.
"How could that girl agree?" She only felt that her sister was going crazy, and there was a trace of madness in what she said.
"If I say, if her innocence is gone, what right is there to pick and choose?" Lu Shi suddenly approached Aunt Lu's ear and said.
Mrs. Lu was startled, and her heart suddenly pounded.
However, she can be regarded as having experienced some storms in the end, and she quickly calmed down, and whispered, "Sister, how can we Ah Yong want a broken flower and a willow?" ”
No matter how beautiful the remnants of flowers and willows are, in her eyes, they have lost their value.
"Fool." Lu Shi suddenly stretched out a finger and poked her sister's forehead, and laughed quietly, "Then let Ah Yong take away her innocence, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
In the darkness of the night, her smile was sharp, like a sharp object cutting through hard marble, making a screeching sound.
Lu's heart trembled, but he didn't say anything.
There is some truth in my sister's words.
At that time, Miss Naluo will become a broken shoe that no one wants, and Mrs. Cui will not be able to rush to beg Ah Yong to marry her?
By then, not only will the bride price be gone, but you may be able to pour a dowry.
She is happy to have a good thing for both people and money!
Seeing that the girl lowered her head and didn't say a word, Lu Shi knew that her heart was already alive, so he smiled and said, "The old lady still thought about giving her to Yan'er before, where am I willing?" Later, the old lady took her to the East Palace, but she didn't mention it. ”
Mrs. Lu heard her sister mention the prince again, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the prince really takes a fancy to her?" "To be continued.
