Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his surprise when he heard this.

At that time, in the Qinyi Courtyard of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion, Mrs. Wu clearly said that Jiang Xuan was fine.

It's only been two days, how can you get to the Cheng dù of "three or four months at the least, and half a year at most"?

But at the same time, she also realized that Song Miaoxue's topic this time was a little overstepping.

It not only mentions the emperor, but also involves the second prince...... No wonder everyone was silent, only Lu Manyu asked alone.

At this time, Lu Manyu also reacted, suppressed the incomprehension in her heart, and stopped squeaking.

Seeing that although everyone was curious, they were all just sitting there quietly, Song Miaoxue finally realized that her words were inappropriate.

No longer mentioning the second prince's companionship, she continued to talk about the illness of the Marquis of Jingyuan.

"Originally, after the prince came up from Jinghu that day, his body was fine, but I heard that he began to have a high fever at night, and he didn't go away. The imperial doctor saw that it was cold into the body, and he was afraid of hurting his vitality, so he would have to live for a while. ”

Song Miaoxue said it right.

If she had put it aside, Lu Qingrong would definitely question how she could know these things as a girl in her boudoir.

But now it doesn't seem strange.

One is Song Miaoxue's mother, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, if she doesn't know what happened in the capital, I'm afraid it's not easy to find.

What's more, with Mrs. Wu's behavior on the day of the Duanyang Festival, even if no one inquires, she herself estimates that she will have to find a way to spread it.

Before, Lu Qingrong had always felt strange about why Jiang Xuan fell into the water that day, but at this moment, she just thought, I hope his condition is not as severe as rumored.

I didn't think about it, but I heard Tang Shan, the second lady of the Yanguo Mansion, say: "This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, so as not to be punished if the Queen Mother knows that he is thinking about it behind closed doors." ”

Lu Qingrong really didn't expect her to say such a thing.

And at this time, there are people who are even more unaccustomed to hearing this, it is Xu Ying, who failed to participate in the dragon boat banquet, and was sad on the side when she heard that Jiang Xuan had fallen into the water.

Just as he was about to step forward to reason with Tang Shan, the lunch break was almost over, and everyone began to get up and go back to the school.

Xu Ying had no choice but to follow everyone to the school.

Lu Qingrong vaguely heard her muttering as she walked: "A concubine is a concubine, and her mind is really different from others......

Entering the school, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei sat in the two seats on the north side of the middle position, while Lu Qianyu and Lu Manyu sat on the south side of the same row.

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Qingrong felt that something was wrong, and finally found that the problem was Lu Qianyu sitting on her left.

Lu Qianyu, who is in a daze, drowsy, and drowsy on weekdays, has been sitting at the table today, listening to Mr. Lecture with a very attentive look.

In the afternoon, Mr. Zhen did not continue to teach the art of the piano, but talked about the Analects.

At this time, he was talking about the fourth part of the Analects, the Liren chapter.

This article covers a wide range of topics and has deep implications, including content about moral cultivation and the relationship between righteousness and profit, which is far more difficult to understand for these early teenage girls in the school than "learning and learning".

Lu Qingrong turned his head and saw that Lu Qianyu was still very serious, and he was very skeptical that she could really understand the meaning.

Seeing that she was unmoved by Lu Manyu's sleeve several times, Lu Qingrong suddenly realized that her second sister was so abnormal today, don't you want to be a female sage, right?

Until the women's school ended the class, and the four of them got into the carriage back to Lu Mansion, Lu Qianyu still did not resume her previous frolic, but seemed to be thinking about something.

At this time, Lu Qianyu raised her eyes and looked around the car for a week, and finally opened her mouth to Lu Qingrong.

"Fourth sister, what should you mean by saying that this 'gentleman wants to be quick to talk and quick to act'?"

Lu Qingrong was shocked by this question and broke out in a cold sweat.

It's not that the question itself is difficult, but that it comes out of Lu Qianyu's mouth, which really makes it difficult for her to adapt.

Jiang Yunpei on the side was also surprised.

At the beginning, Lu Qianyu was perfunctory about reading, and no one knew better than them.

Once, Jiang Shenzhi asked her how to explain the meaning of "only benevolent people can be good people and evil people", and Lu Qianyu gave the answer: Only benevolent people can be both good people and evil people.

At that time, after listening to Lu Qianyu's answer, Lu Qingrong saw a look of frustration on Jiang Shenzhi's face for the first time......

Seeing Lu Qianyu's thirsty eyes at this moment, Lu Qingrong quickly retracted his thoughts and explained to her succinctly: "This sentence is to tell people to be cautious in their words and diligent in their work. ”

After hearing this, Lu Qianyu nodded as if she didn't understand, and then lowered her head and thought about it by herself.

This very unusual atmosphere in the carriage lasted until the final return to Lufu.

Jiang Yunpei didn't know the reason, and thought that Lu Qianyu had gradually become interested in reading in the past two months.

Only Lu Qingrong knew in his heart that this was exactly what had happened after Jiang Ling came back, and he only hoped that Lu Qianyu would not go mad......

Jiang Yunpei said goodbye to everyone and returned to the South Courtyard.

The three Lu Qingrong sisters first went back to the Wisteria Pavilion and the West Courtyard to change their clothes, and then went to the main courtyard where Mrs. Tai lived.

When she went out in the morning, Yin Pingru told them that everyone should have dinner in the main courtyard today, so that they would not be late.

When Lu Qingrong and Lu Qianyu arrived at the main courtyard, they saw that Lu Yizhong and Geng had already led Lu Chengxi and Lu Manyu to arrive first, and Yin Pingru also took Brother Xu and Lu Chengjie to wait there, only Lu Yiduo had not returned from the yamen.

At the right time, when Lu Yiduo changed into a dark home-style robe and came to the main courtyard, everyone began to eat.

These days, Lu Yiduo came back from the yamen relatively late, and everyone usually used dinner in their respective courtyards, Lu Qingrong originally wondered why Mrs. Tai asked them all to come to the main courtyard because it was not a festival today.

However, until the final withdrawal, the meal was very ordinary and nothing special.

The only difference is that Mrs. Tai did not let them go back to rest immediately, but called Lu Yiduo and Lu Yizhong and his wife into the east to talk.

A few juniors still stayed in the hall.

Lu Chengjie was holding the osmanthus candy on the table and coaxing Brother Xu to play.

Because today's Lu Qianyu is exceptionally quiet, Lu Manyu can't frolic alone, and the hall is much quieter than before.

Therefore, Lu Qingrong, who was sitting closest to the east, even if he didn't want to, heard the words in the room clearly.

As soon as Lu Yiduo and the four of them entered, Mrs. Tai opened her mouth first.

"Brother Jie and Sister Fang are not young now, Brother Jie has to concentrate on preparing for the end now, but Sister Fang'er's family affairs can't be delayed any longer." Mrs. Tai said slowly: "Sister Fang and her mother met the son of Lord Lang Di's family in the Criminal Department before yesterday, and she also told me about it when she came back, I think it's very good. Since the Di family has already found someone to propose marriage yesterday, I think we should start preparing for it! ”

Yin Pingru didn't expect Mrs. Tai to say this as soon as she came up, originally they had already discussed this matter and reached a consensus, why did they mention it again at this time?

And Lu Yizhong and Geng were even more puzzled at this time, thinking that this is the eldest brother marrying his daughter, so there is no need to discuss them, right?

But Lu Yizhong saw that his mother was looking at him at this time, so he responded: "You have to prepare earlier." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded when she heard this, and then said: "Sister Fang is the eldest daughter of our family, so naturally she can't be sloppy in her marriage, and this dowry must be prepared for her." ”

This was said to Yin Pingru.

Yin Pingru listened to Mrs. Tai repeat yesterday's words, but she did not slack off at all, and nodded respectfully.

Mrs. Tai then turned her head to look at Geng's and began to get to the point: "Before, your eldest brother and sister-in-law have been away from Beijing for many years, and they have always asked you to help with the housekeeper's affairs, but now that your eldest brother's errand has been decided, he will live in the capital for a long time in the future." I think you should also find time to explain this housekeeping matter to your sister-in-law, I can't let you suffer so much for her! ”

At the end of the speech, Mrs. Tai was already in a joking tone.

But when Geng heard this at this time, he couldn't laugh at all in his heart.

It turned out that I went around in such a big circle for this matter.

And Yin Pingru was also a little unexpected, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Lu Yiduo, and saw Lu Yiduo's eyes nodding slightly at her calmly, and her heart was steady.

When they had just returned to the capital from Wuchang, the Geng family had mentioned in front of everyone that they would hand over the power of stewardship to her.

At that time, there was no letter whether Lu Yiduo could stay in Beijing, so he didn't want to be in a hurry, so he didn't agree.

But since Lu Yiduo went to the Ministry of War to take office, Geng has never mentioned this matter again.

Lu Yiduo and they have been gone for ten years, and everything at home depends on Lu Yizhong and Geng's cooking, and Yin Pingru is a little reluctant in her heart, so as long as Geng's doesn't mention it, she can't say anything.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Mrs. Tai who brought up this matter first, and Yin Pingru's eyes when she looked at Mrs. Tai at this time were also very complicated, both a little excited and very grateful.

When Mrs. Tai saw Yin Pingru's appearance, she naturally knew her thoughts.

"I don't think it's as good as hitting the sun, so let's start tomorrow and hand over the affairs of this housekeeper within ten days." Mrs. Tai said to Geng.

Seeing Geng's hesitant look, Mrs. Tai asked, "But what's the difficulty?" ”

"Not really!" Geng Shi hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that there are many things and complicated accounts, so I'm afraid the time is a little tight." ”

After speaking, Geng also turned his head to look at Lu Yizhong as if asking for help.

Lu Yizhong didn't care, he felt in his heart that the Geng family had been in charge of the family for so many years, and now that his sister-in-law was back, it was natural for him to hand over this responsibility.

Seeing that Geng's appearance was a little hesitant at the moment, Mrs. Tai was expected: "Then a little more time, it must be handed over clearly, how about half a month?" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Tai had already given in, Geng Shi didn't have any more objections, so he nodded reluctantly.

"Then it's settled." Mrs. Tai immediately decided, "Starting tomorrow, let's go to your sister-in-law to reconcile the accounts!" ”

When Lu Qingrong outside heard this, he was somewhat happy for Yin Pingru because of his grandmother's trust in his mother, but he didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse for Yin Pingru to take over the responsibility of taking over the family. RS
