Chapter 116: Meeting
On the second day, Lu entered the palace early in the morning with General Weiyuan's wife.
Because of Lu Guishuo's marriage, the Lu family did not dare to make decisions alone.
Although General Weiyuan's wife can't be Lu Guishuo's master, the mother and daughter have a discussion in one place.
Of course, the Lu family has another plan to enter the palace, the eyelid Tong Xue has lived in the palace for nearly a month, and yesterday it was rumored that Emperor Xining was unwilling to accept Tong Xue as a righteous daughter or a righteous niece, and the Lu family was inevitably a little worried in his heart, and he just wanted to take Tong Xue out of the palace as soon as possible.
When the two entered the palace, they went to see the Queen Mother first.
Because it was early, the Queen Mother was having breakfast, so Lu and General Weiyuan's wife went to see Tong Xue first.
"Grandmother! Mother! Tong Xue saw her relatives at first glance, and her eyes were full of joy.
Lu looked at this daughter who had not seen him for more than twenty days, and only felt that she seemed to be a little more comfortable.
I grew taller and thinner, and although I was wearing a thick winter coat, the outline of my body began to gradually reveal.
Her Ah Jin began to grow into a girl.
Lu looked at Tong Xue, his eyes were happy for a while, and he was melancholy for a while, which made Tong Xue a little confused, so he had to comfort Lu in a soft voice: "The girl of Qiu Shilang's family has the best personality, looking at the soft outside and the hard inside, not the kind that will break when touched." β
Tong Xue knew that General Weiyuan's wife was most unaccustomed to the kind of little lady who would fall down as soon as the wind blew, so she picked up the important points and said good things about Qiu Muyun.
General Weiyuan's wife had a bitter face, "What's the use of being a good person, your uncle doesn't open his mind."
"Alright! Mother, it's time for us to go and say hello to the Queen Mother. The Lu clan stopped General Weiyuan's wife from blurting out the words at the right time.
General Weiyuan's wife looked solemn. Nodding.
The three of them walked to the main hall of Cining Palace, where the Queen Mother used to receive the wife, and waited for about a cup of tea, and the Queen Mother appeared, accompanied by a girl who was neither tall nor short, and dressed elegantly.
Lu glanced at the girl, and knew in his heart that this girl looked gentle and submissive, but her unconscious brother liked to be unbridled.
Lu sighed in his heart, and glanced at General Weiyuan's wife. Also from the eyes of General Weiyuan's wife. I can see a touch of regret.
"The courtiers greet the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old." The two accepted their emotions and gave the Queen Mother a gift.
Different from the courtesy to the Marquis of Dingyuan, the Queen Mother was born and received a courtesy from the wife of General Weiyuan and the Lu family. Fang Ming palace maid watched.
"The mourning family invites the two of you to the palace today. I suddenly remembered that Major General Lu had been guarding the frontier all these years. Rugged on the marriage, so I want to keep a matchmaker for him, I don't know what Mrs. wants? β
"I can get the Queen Mother's Hang. It's a dog's honor. However, he was far away in the north, and he had already agreed with his courtiers earlier that he would take care of his own marriage, and he might meet a girl he liked, and he would get married. β
"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother scolded lightly.
"The so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker." Parents should be in charge of children's marriages, and they should not be allowed to do their own thing.
"What the Queen Mother said is very true. Therefore, the result of the courtiers' deliberations with their sons was for them to act on their own. General Weiyuan's wife said calmly.
The Queen Mother was choked, and after a while, she said, "The mourning family has a nephew of appropriate age, who looks good and has good character, and the mourning family intends to marry her to General Lu Xiao, I don't know what the general's wife thinks?" β
General Weiyuan's wife didn't expect that her words were so clear, and the Queen Mother could still act as if she didn't understand, and directly said the request.
'Nope'
"That's great!" Tong Xue suddenly spoke out and blocked General Weiyuan's words in her mouth, "Queen Mother, don't hide it, the courtiers have felt that their eyes are tight since they first saw Miss Qiu, and after getting along these days, they feel that Miss Qiu is a top girl." I didn't think about it, but you really planned to marry her to your courtier's uncle, who would thank you if he knew. β
The Queen Mother smiled perfunctorily at her, and looked at General Weiyuan's wife and the Lu family, "What do you think?" β
"This"
"Mother." Tong Xue pinched Lu's arm, "Have you ever lied to you since you were a child?" β
"Ah Jin, this matter is not as good as other things, it will affect the happiness of Miss Qiu's life."
"I do." Qiu Muyun, who had been hanging his head and standing quietly beside the Queen Mother, suddenly looked up at the Lu family, and mustered up the courage to say in a very small voice.
Although that glance was short, it contained enough information that Lu deliberately understood.
"Thank you for your kindness." Lu Guichen sighed in his heart.
General Weiyuan's wife looked at her eldest daughter, then at Qiu Muyun, and pursed her lips, but she didn't squeak after all.
The daughter of Lord Qiu, a member of the Ministry of Labor, is still somewhat well-known in the circle of noblewomen with a slightly low status in the capital.
It's not because she has excellent piano skills, or because she paints well.
It's because when she was a month away from the wedding, she suddenly saw her grandmother die, and during the period of filial piety, a scandal broke out in her fiancΓ©'s house where a girl gave birth.
This kind of thing, if it is handled properly, the man will apologize in private, put the girl's cup of thick soup into his stomach, and the child will be sent away.
However, Qiu Muyun just bit this point and asked to withdraw from the marriage.
At that time, Qiu Muyun had passed his seventeenth birthday.
At the age of seventeen, the divorce broke out, and the whole city knew about it, even if it was not Qiu Muyun's fault, it was even more difficult for her to find a wishful husband.
Sure enough, it has been a year since Qiu Muyun retired from marriage, but no one came to the door to propose marriage, Mrs. Qiu was anxious, so she begged the queen mother, the queen mother based on balancing the power of the harem, did not want the imperial concubine's family to dominate the purpose, wanted to include it in Emperor Xining's harem, I didn't want her to refuse.
General Weiyuan's wife has such a neat and neat temperament, how can she ever be so supportive.
It's just to look at this girl's pitiful experience, and feel pity.
She sighed in her heart, that's it, if that kid really doesn't like it, she will put people by her side and raise a daughter.
With such an idea, General Weiyuan's wife recognized Qiu Muyun, the daughter-in-law.
After talking about the matter, the Queen Mother picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
General Weiyuan's wife and the Lu family didn't want to stay for a long time, so they pulled Tong Xue to get up, intending to retire.
"The emperor has arrived." At this moment, the shrill voice of the eunuch sounded outside the main hall of Cining Palace.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help frowning.
It's far from the time of the next early dynasty, why did Emperor Xining come here at this point?
Could it be that it was really because of watching this woman again, and she ran over like this?
When the Queen Mother thought of this possibility, her well-maintained face immediately fell.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Emperor Xining was wearing a bright dragon robe and bowed to the Queen Mother. (To be continued......)
