"No matter what the son thinks in his heart, this lifelong event is decided by the mother." Lu Yiduo said slowly.

Mrs. Lu said helplessly when she heard this: "Don't go around in circles with your mother." In the past two years, tell me how many suitable people I have found for you, I am afraid I can't count them on ten fingers. But it's good for you, every time it's the same sentence: wait for you to come back and discuss it. But every time you come back, you return in the dust, and you leave in a hurry. This time I can finally live in the capital for a few days, so let's have a good discussion, can the people I mentioned in my previous letters have your agreement? ”

Mrs. Lu didn't really expect him to be able to name a person.

Lu Yiduo did not answer directly, but fixed his expression and asked, "Why does my mother think that Yin Pingru is no longer suitable?" ”

"You've finally spoken your mind." Mrs. Lu didn't think it was unexpected, "Where is she inappropriate, do you still need me to say it?" Although you are going to marry a house-filler, not the original match, but if you look at it, how many people in the entire Great Qi Dynasty are as old as you to be the right man of the Imperial Court and the governor of Henan? If you marry a wife who has been divorced, aren't you afraid of the jokes of the people in the capital?"

"Mother, after all, this day is for yourself to live ......" Lu Yiduo said directly, "Marrying a wife and marrying virtue is more important than character and character, and you don't need to care too much about it." What's more, although Pingru has been reconciled, but this is the merits, you also know, I'm afraid that the whole Jinan City people know! ”

"Right and wrong aside, even if it's all the He family's fault, so what?"

Mrs. Lu had her own worries, and continued: "The He family and the Qiu family have married each other, and the Qiu family has risen to the top with a horse, and the He family has also made a lot of improvements. I'm afraid that you will be affected in the officialdom for no reason in the future! ”

"Things in officialdom are changing rapidly, and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace are often unpredictable, who can know what will happen in the future?" Lu Yiduo said softly.

"She still has a baby! Do you think it doesn't matter? Mrs. Lu originally liked Lu Qingrong's well-behavedness, but at this time, she suddenly felt a little disgusted.

Lu Yiduo thought of the little doll who stared at him as soon as they met, and the picture of her squatting under the begonia tree and writing, he couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Mother has forgotten, I also have three children!" ”

Mrs. Lu was speechless, and even had a sense of powerlessness, feeling that she was playing the piano against him completely.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this today. Think about what I just said. Mrs. Lu thought for a moment, "Otherwise, let's talk about it when you and Tsinghua's errand is settled!" ”

Lu Yiduo didn't expect his mother to agree with his idea, and it was good to be able to leave room like now. What's more, his mother's last sentence seemed to give him some hope......

After coming out of the main house, Lu Yiduo also began to think about his errand.

Although he has never mentioned it to anyone when he entered Beijing this time, Lu Yiduo has always been a little worried about his future appointment.

His official career has been so smooth over the years, firstly, his results in the assessment are far ahead, and he has been unanimously praised by his superiors and colleagues; Second, it is also inseparable from the care of the Marquis of Jingyuan.

However, he did not know how the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion took care of it, and whether it involved officials from the Auxiliary Wang's faction.

He is now a four-rank official at a young age, which has always been his mother's boastful capital, but it also greatly increases the possibility of him being regarded as the first bird.

Of course, this may be his own worries, but he is really hesitant about his future appointment.

Although the emperor wants to personally approve the appointment and dismissal of officials, the list still has to be handed over by the officials, to put it bluntly, the emperor has the right to decide, and the officials are really exercising the right to choose.

Langzhong Zhou Hong of the Ministry of Literature and Selection, who has the closest relationship with him in the same department, had mentioned to him before that the two Huai salt envoys were vacant, and if he was interested, he could help him recommend.

Lu Yiduo is a little undecided, in the years when the auxiliary king has monopolized the government, the salt tax in Jiangnan has been a bad debt, and now to do this two Huai salt envoys, it is likely to go to the top tank, which can be said to be more risky than opportunity.

He had the intention of continuing to stay in Henan, so that he could finish the disaster relief and water conservancy construction in the next term, but he was afraid that he would live up to his mother's expectations for his promotion.

On the way back to Beijing, Lu Yiduo was thinking about whether to stay in his original post or go to Jiangnan to pick up the hot potato, but he never made up his mind.

Lu Yiduo, who was meditating but had no clue, suddenly raised his head and found that he had unconsciously walked to the door of the South Courtyard.

Through the open lacquered mahogany door, you can see a small chubby figure circling the tree under the blooming peach blossom tree in the courtyard.

It was Lu Qingrong.

At this time, she was taking the green bamboo to carefully observe the peach blossoms on the tree, which one was the most beautiful.

This is the task given to her by Yin Pingru.

Since Yin Pingru found out that Lu Qingrong was much more lively and active than children of the same age, he liked to find something for her to do, so as not to run around.

This time, Yin Pingru said that the white porcelain long-necked vase in the house was empty and not good-looking, so she asked her to find the most beautiful peach blossom in the courtyard and put it in.

Lu Qingrong was playing with Yin Zihao, so he took Yin Zihao to pick flowers together.

When Yin Zihao arrived under the peach blossom tree, he said, "I think each one is very good-looking", and sat on the stone steps next to him, looking uninterested, urging Lu Qingrong to quickly finish picking it up and go to play.

Lu Qingrong didn't care about him, he just kept turning around with the green bamboo, as if he had seen every peach blossom on the tree.

I always feel that this one is too loose and that one is too thick......

Lu Qingrong continued to look up at the flowers on the tree seriously, and secretly sighed in his heart: it turned out that the choice obsessive-compulsive disorder in his previous life was still following him......

When Yin Zihao was sitting on the stone steps and was about to fall asleep, Lu Qingrong finally found the one he wanted near the top of the tree, and called Tinglan to carry her up and take it off.

Lu Yiduo has been stopping at the gate of the courtyard to watch, just now her appearance of picking left and right made him feel very interesting, at this time I saw the little girl under the peach blossom tree, holding the peach blossom with a small hand, staring at it with a satisfied face.

At this moment, Lu Qingrong, who was facing the gate of the courtyard, also suddenly found Lu Yiduo standing at the door.

Lu Qingrong immediately raised her chubby little arm and waved the peach blossom in her hand at Lu Yiduo, with a smile like sunshine on her face.

Lu Yiduo was suddenly shaken by this smile, and it shook to his eyes, and it seemed to be shaken to his heart.

Before I knew it, I laughed too.

He didn't go into the courtyard, but when he turned to leave, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

Bypassing the main courtyard from the Moon Gate of the East Courtyard, Lu Yiduo walked all the way out of the Lu Mansion and got into a carriage to go to Zhou Hong's house......

Two days later, the two pieces of news reached the Lu Mansion almost simultaneously.

Yin Qinghua was selected as a member of the Hanlin Academy.

Lu Yiduo remained as governor of Henan.
