Chapter 118: Returning Home

"I don't know." After Lu Qianyu finished speaking, she pursed her mouth and lowered her head to wring the handkerchief in her hand.

"You said it yourself just now, you are very close to the cousin of the Yin family, and you don't care about his fame, so why are you so resistant to saying kiss?"

Before Lu Qingrong's words fell, he frowned slightly.

Lu Qianyu's mood is not unaware of her, in the modern world she lived in in her previous life, marriage that pays attention to fate and feeling is the mainstream of society, and there is rarely any argument that the parents are destined to matchmakers.

But after all, in the Great Qi Dynasty, Lu Qianyu's attitude of being overly obsessed with her own feelings may not be able to find happiness for her.

What's more, this is still wishful thinking on her own......

Lu Qingrong felt that he had to persuade her.

"The cousin of the Yin family knows us well, and you are both close to him and familiar with him, do you know how rare this is?" Lu Qingrong also said sincerely, "Think about the relationship between me and my eldest sister, I only met one or two sides before I got married, this is really like a big luck, there is no accurate spectrum for whether the personality is compatible or not, and the future relationship has to start from scratch......"

"Before you got married, when did you meet the Marquis of Jingyuan?" Lu Fangyu suddenly raised his head and asked.

Lu Qingrong secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

took care of enlightening Lu Qianyu, but forgot about this stubble.

The two meetings with Jiang Xuan before getting married were not known to outsiders.

"Don't interrupt." Lu Qingrong didn't intend to explain anything.

"I understand what you're saying." Lu Qianyu said helplessly: "But it's one thing to understand this, it's another thing to really be able to do it." Don't persuade me, anyway, when my mother asked me, I said I didn't want to ...... on impulse."

"What? You just refused? Lu Qingrong couldn't help but hold his forehead, sighing that this was indeed Lu Qianyu's style.

"Alright, alright! Don't teach me any more. Lu Qianyu began to be a little impatient, "Mother will definitely not force me, even if I want to come to this article, even if I turn it over, let's talk about something else!" I don't know when the next time we meet! ”

Lu Qingrong didn't intend to let her go.

"Let me ask you, if your mother hadn't mentioned the Yin family's cousin but someone else, would you be the same?"

"Someone else?" Lu Qianyu repeated softly.

"For example, Jiang Ling." Lu Qingrong said it directly this time.

Lu Qianyu was told that she was in her heart, and she didn't refute it, but just lowered her head and stopped talking.

"How did you recognize him?" Although Lu Qingrong made this the first time to find out this matter with her, she had already felt it two years ago, but she didn't think that her second sister, who was usually hot for three minutes, would persist for so long this time.

"How many words have you said to Jiang Ling? Do you know what's going on in his mind? Lu Qingrong's tone was a little unkind.

For Jiang Ling and Lu Qianyu, she is really not very optimistic in her heart.

If Lu Qianyu's attitude towards being extremely loyal to her inner emotions is very ahead of the times, then Jiang Ling is dozens or even hundreds of times stricter than her, and she is almost close to exploring the ultimate questions of philosophy.

And what's even more troublesome is that most of these two people don't know what compromise is, especially Jiang Ling. Therefore, Lu Qingrong really didn't want Lu Qianyu to regret it in the future for the sake of his momentary temptation now.

"I don't know what he's thinking, do you know?" Lu Qianyu was silent for a moment before she retorted: "You also said just now, you and the eldest sister almost never met the groom before they got married, but you see that the eldest sister is now much more cheerful than before!" And you, today I look very harmonious with the son......"

Is that so? He and Jiang Xuan actually felt like this in the eyes of others.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be a little stunned.

When she came back to her senses, Lu Zhu had already walked in from outside and said, "The prince has come out of the master's study, and he is waiting for you in front of him at the moment!" ”

Lu Qingrong was a little hesitant, after all, he hadn't finished talking to Lu Qianyu yet, but when he raised his eyes and looked out, the sun was about to set, so it turned out that they had been chatting for so long unconsciously.

Thinking that before going out, Mother Ye repeatedly told that according to the customs of Daqi, the newcomers in Guining must return home before dark, so she had no choice but to say goodbye to Lu Qianyu and walk out of the Wisteria Pavilion.

While walking, she comforted herself in her heart, this is all Lu Qianyu's wishful thinking, can she marry whoever she wants? I'm afraid that I am a little concerned and confused, but I think too simply.

Lu Qingrong sighed lightly, raised his head, and happened to see Jiang Xuan standing next to the wisteria trellis at the moment.

Just now, Luzhu said that Jiang Xuan was waiting for her in front, but she didn't expect to refer to the door of the Wisteria Pavilion.

Lu Qingrong hurriedly called Jiang Xuan to go out together, thinking in his heart that if this was seen by Lu Qianyu, there would be some fun to make in the next meeting.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Xuan noticed Lu Qingrong's strangeness.

"Didn't you say it's better to go home before dark? Seeing that the sun is about to set, it is natural to walk faster. Lu Qingrong said casually.

Jiang Xuan didn't say anything but smiled, and only walked beside her.

A gust of wind blew towards him from Lu Qingrong's side, mixed with a faint fragrance, and he couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of the fat powder on her body, or the smell of the blooming wisteria flowers behind her, but the refreshing feeling made him feel very comfortable.

"You've been staying in the study with your father just now?" Lu Qingrong changed the subject.

"Hmm."

"Why have you been here for so long?" Lu Qingrong frowned slightly.

He followed Lu Yiduo just after lunch today, during this time she went to see her mother, and returned to Wisteria Pavilion to get together with several sisters, and he actually stayed in the study.

Lu Yiduo's attitude towards Jiang Xuan, even if there is no obvious disgust, is definitely not good, and this still can't escape her eyes. The two of them have been alone for so long, which can't help but make Lu Qingrong a little worried.

"I'm playing chess with my father-in-law." Jiang Xuan said softly.

This "father-in-law" made Lu Qingrong's face red.

Different from the polite and formal etiquette when he confessed his relatives in the flower hall of the main courtyard before, Jiang Xuan recovered his usual leisure and indifference at this time, and the feeling of shouting out again was very different.

"You can also play chess?" Lu Qingrong hurriedly asked, to hide his embarrassment.

Jiang Xuan didn't answer, but just glanced at her slightly, as if to say, "Then you still need to ask."

"Who won?" Lu Qingrong was really a little curious this time.

"To each his own has a win or a loser." Jiang Xuan responded.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan's face was relaxed and not like a fake, Lu Qingrong was no longer worried in his heart, and he didn't forget to slander himself, why did he always think too much today......

In the end, the two hurried and hurried back, and finally returned to the Hou Mansion before dark.

Although they did not say goodbye to Mrs. Wu when they went out in the morning, because they brought the return gift from the Lu Mansion at this time, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan still went to Qinyi Courtyard to send Mrs. Wu first, and then returned to Yu Courtyard.

Mrs. Wu didn't leave the meal, returned to the Yu Courtyard, and while waiting for the meal, Lu Qingrong asked casually: "I heard that the prince is going to choose a side concubine?" ”

"Listen to your sisters?" Jiang Xuan asked with a smile.

Lu Qingrong nodded: "My third sister is also on the list." ”

"Why don't you look so happy?" Jiang Xuan looked at her, "Don't you want her to be chosen?" ”

"It's hard to say." Lu Qingrong said honestly, "I'm just a little puzzled, my second sister has never been married, why is she not on the list?" Could it be that the emperor still has a grudge against my father? ”

"Probably not for that." Jiang Xuan still smiled, "This is just a list, and it's not the final selection, so the emperor's holy judgment will be used!" Besides, there are not many people on the list this time, except for your third sister, there are only a few people. ”

"Oh?" Lu Qingrong didn't expect Jiang Xuan to know so clearly, and his heart was a little relieved.

Seeing her looking at her curiously, Jiang Xuan continued: "The people next to me think that you haven't heard of it, you should have seen the concubine of the county lord of Kangning and the family of Lord Xu of the Criminal Department, right?" ”

Qiu Jinting and Xu Ying?

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Ying is just that, Qiu Jinting has the title of county lord, and her mother is a princess, so she actually wants to choose a side concubine?

"The county lord of Corning is also on the list?" Lu Qingrong couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Jiang Xuan also saw her expression, "There's nothing surprising about this, although it's just a side concubine now, but if it's in the future...... With that day, it is natural that it is not the same as the side concubines of other princes. ”

Lu Qingrong also understood.

Although the name of the side concubine is not too loud now, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne, even if the side concubine in the hidden palace can't wind the imperial concubine or the concubine, a concubine will always be unable to run.

It is estimated that this is exactly what Lu Manyu wants.

Just looking at history, from ancient times to the present, how many princes have really been able to ascend the throne in the end......

Lu Qingrong was no longer worried, and instead asked, "Isn't the prince's mansion choosing a concubine once every three years?" How do I remember choosing once in the first two years? ”

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, as if he was hesitating to speak.

"The crown prince's heirs are thin, and he has been married to the crown princess for many years, and there is only one eldest grandson under his knees, and the emperor and the queen mother are a little anxious." Jiang Xuan said slowly: "And I heard that the Queen Mother is also a little dissatisfied with the crown princess......

"Isn't the crown princess also from the Wu family?" Lu Qingrong said strangely.

"But there is more than one princess in the Wu family, who would be too much?" Jiang Xuan said softly.

I see.

In this way, it is unlikely that Lu Manyu will be selected.

"What do you think is the chance that my third sister will be selected?" Lu Qingrong didn't know why he asked this, and how could Jiang Xuan know the result.

Who knew that Jiang Xuan didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "It's very big." ”

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his surprise, "I don't know the people next to me, but the county lord of Kangning and Xu Ying are more or less connected with the Wu family!" ”

"It's okay if not, it's precisely because they have a connection with the Wu family, I think your third sister will probably not be able to run away this time." RS
