Chapter 29: Revisited

Until that little back was drowned in the white sea and gradually faded away, Lu Qingrong couldn't think of anything.

The funeral procession had all passed in front of them, and once again only the two sides of the street were left with the sacrificial tents on both sides.

The carriages of the Yin family started in turn, slowly crossing Rong'en Street and heading south.

Lu Qingrong did not put down the curtain that had been lifted, but continued to look to see if he could find Lu Yiduo's figure in the road sacrifices on both sides.

The search for Lu Yiduo was unsuccessful, but she found a person she least wanted to see under a sacrificial tent on the south side of Rongen Street.

This person was dressed in an ink-pigmented brocade robe and a mutton fat white hosta on his head, standing under the sacrificial tent and talking to the man beside him, it was He Kai.

Lu Qingrong didn't take a closer look, subconsciously quickly dropped the curtain in his hand, and hurriedly glanced at Yin Pingru beside him, and saw that his mother did not follow her gaze to look out, so he calmed down a little.

She felt that she must be right, after all, she had been so close.

But why did this He Kai come to the capital? Didn't he just marry Qiu Muyun?

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a honeymoon, and if the newlyweds who had just married had nothing important, they should not leave home lightly.

Lu Qingrong didn't care why He Kai appeared in the capital, he just hoped that he would leave early, so as not to let Yin Pingru meet him and add to his troubles......

After that, Lu Qingrong stopped looking around, and sat there obediently until they reached their new home in Muxi Hutong.

Since the layout of the new house is similar to the old house in Jinan, everyone's accommodation was quickly arranged.

Yin Pingru still insisted on living in the east wing of the second entrance.

The one south of the east wing room was given to Lu Qingrong, and Luzhu accompanied her, and did not live in the back cover room like Granny Ding.

Lu Qingrong also found that this place was too similar to the old house in Jinan, but there were many fewer trees and flowers, except for the small place under the verandah, the entire courtyard was basically exposed to the sun.

Now that he has settled down, Lu Qingrong feels that it is actually good to live here.

After all, it is the Yin family's house, and it is no longer sent under the fence, so I want to come to Yin Pingru to be less restrained.

It's just that it has become a little troublesome to match Lu Yiduo and his mother......

Who knew that early the next morning, Yin Qinghua had just gone out to report to the Hanlin Academy, and Mrs. Lu sent someone to ask the Gu family to come over the house.

The Gu family was also faintly aware of Mrs. Lu's attitude in the past two days, so he moved out and talked to her again for a day...... Thinking that he should have guessed well, he happily went.

In order to show closeness, this time Mrs. Lu met the Gu family in the east of the main house, and there was only the eldest girl Cuiyun standing beside her.

According to the common sense of the Great Qi Dynasty, this matter of kissing should be done by inviting a matchmaker to come to the door first, but the Lu family has a great relationship with the Yin family, and they have never cared much about these false courtesies. If one was not in the capital and the other was in Jinan, Mrs. Lu would not have invited someone to explore the situation.

Gu Shi wore a lake-colored bamboo pattern makeup gown today, with a set of plain silver dotted emerald head, which was neither very casual nor too grand, and came in to see Mrs. Lu and salute.

"Sit down!" Mrs. Lu pointed to the other side of the Xiangzhimu Arhat bed, "I'm looking for you today, I have something to discuss with you!" ”

Gu sat down and said respectfully: "If Mrs. Lu has anything to order, just give it directly." ”

"This matter is different, it must be discussed!" Mrs. Lu meant something.

Seeing that the Gu family still hadn't understood, Mrs. Lu didn't continue to play dumb riddles.

"In the past, when your mother was still there, I asked someone to go to the house to propose marriage, but she refused." Mrs. Lu smiled and said in a very natural tone, "I guess you've heard of it too, right?" ”

"This ......" Gu Shi didn't know how to answer for a while, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to say that he knew or didn't know.

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw her expression, she knew that she must know, and she did not wait for her to answer.

"I invited you over this time, just to bring up the old thing!" Mrs. Lu said it bluntly.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu had finally made her words clear, Gu's heart finally fell to the ground.

Yin Pingru and Lu Yiduo, of course Gu was very happy, and she concluded that Yin Qinghua must also agree.

"What does Mrs. Lu mean by proposing?" The Gu family is notoriously cautious in the Yin family.

"Naturally, we are the boss of our family, and your family Pingru." Mrs. Lu smiled and continued, "The two of them have known each other since they were very young, although they have their own ...... are a little unsatisfactory, now they are all alone, our two families are a good family, know the roots, if you can get married, it is also a rare happy event. ”

Gu also felt that he had been too cautious just now.

"Don't hide it from Mrs. Lu, listening to you say this, I also think this matter is very good." Gu Shi said bluntly: "It's just that this is Pingru's lifelong event after all, I'm just a sister-in-law, and I have to go back to discuss her brother before I dare to reply to you." ”

This is not the most important thing, Gu Shi is thinking of asking Yin Pingru what he means. is already remarried, Gu hopes that Yin Pingru can make up her own mind this time.

Mrs. Lu expressed her understanding, said that she would "wait for good news", and then chatted with Gu about a cup of tea.

After Gu's farewell, Mrs. Lu suddenly felt a little awkward in her heart, and asked the maid Cuiyun beside her, "You say, was I too active just now?" ”

Cuiyun, of course, replied no.

At this time, the maid outside came in and announced: The second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion is here.

The second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion is the wife of the second room of the Song family, that is, the younger sister-in-law of the Chengping Marquis today.

Mrs. Lu was a little puzzled, she didn't have much contact with the Song family of Chengping Hou on weekdays, but she had met on occasions such as spring banquets before.

In the past few years, after she was widowed, the opportunity to meet was even rarer, and I don't know why these two ladies suddenly came to the door.

Mrs. Lu instructed the second lady to be invited to the flower hall of the main courtyard, and she also changed out of her regular clothes just now, put on a autumn-colored plum blossom dark pattern placket, changed her emerald head, and went to the flower hall.

"I don't know if you're visiting today, and you're not welcome, so it's no wonder that the second lady is there." Mrs. Lu said first as soon as she entered the flower hall.

"Mrs. Lu is too polite!" The second lady was dressed in a garnet red ten brocade makeup and eight skirts of the same color, and when she covered her mouth and smiled, the tassel of a red gold lilac hairpin on the fallen horse bun swayed, and at first glance she did not look like a woman over forty years old.

As soon as the second lady sat down, she went straight to the point and said, "I'm here to be a matchmaker today!" Isn't your uncle still unmarried, and now there is a suitable one that can't be more suitable! ”

Mrs. Lu was a little stunned, and she didn't react for a while, didn't she just talk to Gu's family, and the matchmaker came to the door?

Seeing that Mrs. Lu didn't speak, the second lady thought that she had acquiesced, so she continued: "It's the fifth lady of the Wu family of Anle Hou. Although it is a concubine, it is dignified and elegant, with both good looks and appearance, and has also read books, and your uncle is a match made in heaven! ”
