Chapter 157: Confession

In fact, Lu Qingrong didn't see anything unusual, it was Jiang Xuan who was obviously a little abnormal.

At this moment, the little guy standing in front of Jiang Xuan looked at the corner of his mouth, who rarely had a smiling face, and even forgot what he was going to say when he stepped forward.

"Something?" Jiang Xuan asked first.

I saw that the little guy struck a fierce spirit, and hurriedly reported: "Madame, please go to Qinyi Courtyard after you and Mrs. Shizi return home." ”

"There's a guest in the house?" Jiang Xuan frowned slightly.

"Nope." The little guy replied respectfully.

Jiang Xuan didn't ask anything more, only answered casually, and took Lu Qingrong back to the Yu Courtyard first.

"Aren't we going to Qinyi Temple first?" Lu Qingrong asked softly.

"It's never too late to go back and change your clothes." Jiang Xuan didn't care, "It's not an important thing to think about." ”

Lu Qingrong followed him back to Yuyuan, changed into a lotus-colored net-faced Hangzhou silk jacket, a lilac dress, and his hair bun was not combed, but it was simply tidied up, and then went to Qinyi Courtyard with him.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, Lu Qingrong clearly felt that the atmosphere here was very different from usual.

The maids and servants who came and went changed their low-browed and expressionless faces in the past, and replaced them with energetic and happy faces.

"It's ...... What's wrong? Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his doubts, and whispered to Jiang Xuan, who was walking beside him.

"I don't know, eighty percent of them have received the reward?" Jiang Xuan guessed casually.

When the two of them entered the hall, they saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the main seat and Mother Lu standing beside her also with a happy face.

Seeing them coming, Mrs. Wu waved her hand gently, and the maids in the house all retreated, leaving only Mother Lu to wait by her side.

Before the two of them finished saluting, Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Sit down!" Actually, I don't have anything important, I just want to talk to you a few words. ”

Lu Qingrong followed Jiang Xuan and sat down on the golden silk nan carved wreath chair on the left. In my heart, I didn't believe Mrs. Wu's rhetoric at all.

Nothing to talk to them about?

She has been married into the Hou Mansion for more than a few months, and this kind of thing has never happened.

Mrs. Wu saw that the two of them were just sitting there quietly and did not make a sound. I didn't really care, but I still took the initiative to open my mouth with a smile.

"I've told your second brother about family affairs these days. I thought I should have let you know anyway! Mrs. Wu went straight to the point.

Lu Qingrong had privately speculated with Jiang Xuan before this incident, so he was not too surprised to hear it at this time.

Madame laughed. Jiang Xuan took the lead in responding: "Becoming a parent is to obey the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, and you and your father are in charge of the marriage of the second brother, and it is the same whether you notify us or not." ”

Although the content of Jiang Xuan's words was a little blunt, his tone was with a smile.

And Mrs. Wu is used to his attitude on weekdays, and she doesn't feel anything wrong.

"That's right." Mrs. Wu was still pleasant, "It's just that your father is sick now." It is still necessary to focus on meditation, and no matter how much I say it, I am just a woman's family, and many things are not good to come forward in person, I am afraid that some rules and etiquette and other matters in the back still need your help! ”

Mrs. Wu said this very humbly, in order for Jiang Ke's family affairs to be smoother, she didn't care about lowering her posture.

Jiang Xuan just smiled noncommittally, and turned his head to glance at Lu Qingrong as if inadvertently.

Lu Qingrong immediately understood.

"Madame is right." Lu Qingrong opened his mouth, "Since it is a happy event in the Hou Mansion, we naturally have no reason to stand idly by. If there are any customs and ceremonies, we need to do it. All you have to do is tell me when the time comes! ”

After Lu Qingrong finished speaking, Jiang Xuan did not have any rebuttal.

Although Mrs. Wu was a little embarrassed because Jiang Xuan did not respond to this matter in person, no matter what. Lu Qingrong made a clear statement.

Mrs. Wu continued to sit there smiling, thinking that they would have to ask which young lady they were destined to marry.

But she didn't want Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan to just look back at her with a smile on their faces, without the slightest intention of speaking.

Mrs. Wu was slightly annoyed in her heart, so she had to speak up herself.

"This time, we are going to be in-laws with Princess Chengyang's Mansion, and it is Qiu Jinting, the lord of Kangning County. Now that the eight characters of the birthday have also been combined, they are all the best choices, and the specific date of the wedding has not yet been set. ”

"According to the custom of our Daqi, isn't it necessary to set a wedding date immediately after the eight characters?" Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled.

And her question is exactly in the hands of Mrs. Wu.

"That's true of ordinary family affairs, yes." Mrs. Wu's tone became extremely proud, "It's just that this time it's a little different. According to Princess Chengyang's meaning, she wanted to ask the Holy Lord for marriage. If the permission is granted, then the specific date will naturally be determined by the Holy God himself. ”

That is, the Holy Decree has not been invited yet? Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart.

She really didn't quite understand why Mrs. Wu looked so proud at this time.

Or can he marry Qiu Jinting for Jiang Ke. Is it enough for her to be so proud?

That's exactly what happened.

In Mrs. Wu's heart, the county lord of Kangning has always been her best candidate.

Needless to say, the identity background is definitely one of the best among the nobles in the entire capital, and it is also inextricably linked with the Wu family.

It can be said that once Qiu Jinting married into the Hou Mansion, the relationship between her and the Empress Dowager Wu also became closer from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, and Jiang Ke also had a powerful Yue family like the Chengyang Princess Mansion as a help, so ......

The more Mrs. Wu thought about it, the more proud she became, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Qingrong.

The county lord of Kangning is about to become her concubine, presumably she must be very worried at this time, right?

Mrs. Wu speculated to herself, but unexpectedly couldn't see any traces of uneasiness on Lu Qingrong's face, only to see that her expression was still calm as usual, and there seemed to be a natural smile on her face.

At this time, she didn't look like she had a sense of crisis at all, and she didn't look like she was pretending, could it be that she was thinking too much about herself before, and she wasn't a powerful character at all?

Mrs. Wu's thoughts began to waver, and she instantly thought of a way to try her.

"Getting married is a troublesome matter, and all the big and small affairs in the house have to be prepared, and I'm afraid that I can't take care of it alone." When Mrs. Wu said this, she first sighed and then continued: "You have been married for a long time, I think it is better to take this opportunity to follow me in the Fuzhong Council?" ”

After speaking, Mrs. Wu looked at Lu Qingrong with a smile and waited for her reply.

"This ......" Lu Qingrong couldn't figure out what medicine Mrs. Wu was selling in this gourd for a while, and this was a little vague, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xuan.

I saw that Jiang Xuan's expression did not change at all, and he sat there without squinting, and he didn't even match her eyes.

But it was precisely this that made Lu Qingrong have a bottom in his heart.

"I really want to share my worries for my wife, I'm just afraid that I'm clumsy, don't help anymore!" Lu Qingrong said with a chuckle, neither responding nor refusing.

Mrs. Wu was slightly stunned.

When she said these words just now, she wanted to test them at will, but at this moment, she suddenly changed her mind, and she had to make her go.

"What's the matter! Everyone comes from this time, exercise more, and you will naturally be familiar with it in the future. Mrs. Wu's tone was extraordinarily kind, "And if I ask you for help, I won't just leave it alone, so naturally I won't let you be embarrassed alone!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Qingrong also felt her determination, and almost didn't hesitate to answer: "Since Madame has said so, if I refuse, I don't know what to do." In the future, if I don't understand something, I will have to bother my wife to give me advice. ”

Lu Qingrong said respectfully, and actually agreed directly.

This somewhat surprised Mrs. Wu.

She thought she would have to take a long time to talk.

It's okay like this, Lu Qingrong, as the wife of the Marquis of Jingyuan at the moment, never let her participate in the council of the inner house, which is unreasonable, and she can use the excuse that she is still young to prevaricate a thing or two, but she can't go on like this. Since this is the case, it is better to let her try it as soon as possible, and I should also take this opportunity to observe how many catties and taels she has up close.

The more Mrs. Wu thought about it, the more she felt that this was a double benefit, and her mood suddenly brightened.

"Then it's decided! You will come to Qinyi Courtyard early tomorrow morning, and I will give you a general explanation of the affairs in the house first. Mrs. Wu commanded with a smile.

Lu Qingrong nodded in response.

And during the whole process, Jiang Xuan didn't say anything.

When Mrs. Wu saw that everything that should be said was said, she did not keep them any longer.

Walking out of Qinyi Courtyard, Jiang Xuan asked with a smile: "Why did you respond so quickly, and you weren't afraid that this was a trap?" ”

"Don't you want me to come down too?" Lu Qingrong asked confidently, she was sure that she had not misunderstood.

Jiang Xuan smiled silently, but it was not difficult to see that he was in a good mood at the moment.

Lu Qingrong walked while looking around and saw that there was no one around, so he said softly: "I really want to give it a try." Since you have to come into contact with the things in the house sooner or later, it is natural to hurry up and not late. Let's not talk about it first, at least we can see what the situation is on Mrs. Wu's side first...... And if you wait for Qiu Jinting to get married, I'm afraid it's rare for the mansion to be so quiet now......"

"Hmm." Jiang Xuan nodded, agreeing with her statement, "When the time comes, it will be up to you to improvise, Heng Zhi is just cooperating with her director, if you encounter any thorny problems, even if you throw them out, you must know that even if you try your best to help solve it, you may not be able to get a good ...... In short, think twice when you encounter something, don't be quick for a while. ”

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Qingrong looked at him talking seriously, but he always wanted to laugh in his heart.

Today's Jiang Xuan is indeed very different from before. (To be continued) R580
