Chapter 82: The Difference
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be very worried about his future.
Although according to Lu Qianyu, her mother doesn't quite agree with this matter now.
But she knew in her heart that this was not the first time that the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion had mentioned this matter, and now that Lu Yiduo was in danger, it was probably not so easy to give up.
As for how the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion recognized himself, Lu Qingrong was still puzzled.
"Fourth sister?" Seeing that Lu Qingrong had been frowning and silent, Lu Qianyu sobbed and shouted.
Lu Qianyu couldn't control her crying
Lu Qingrong settled down, and said in a solemn tone: "Second sister, we are both daughters of the Lu family, if things really come to this point......
"Fourth Miss!" Lu Zhu's voice came in from outside, from far and near, "Someone from the main courtyard said that Mrs. Tai has something to find you, so let you hurry over!" ”
Lu Qingrong and Lu Qianyu looked at each other, as if they knew everything about it.
"Just looking for me? Do you want to go with your mother? Lu Qingrong asked.
"I said I was looking for you alone." Green bamboo stood at the door.
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he first went over and took Lu Qianyu's hand.
"Second sister, you go back first...... You just have to remember that I am definitely not half as worried about my father as you are. ”
After speaking, Lu Qingrong walked out of the house and went to the main courtyard with Lu Zhu.
Only Lu Qianyu, who was still a little whimpering, was left in a daze, looking at her departing back.
As soon as Lu Qingrong arrived at the main courtyard, he was invited by the maid into the east room of the main house.
Green Bamboo didn't go in with her.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Qingrong only saw Mrs. Tai alone, who was sitting upright on the incense branch wood arhat bed in the room at this time.
Today, Mrs. Tai wore a beige face placket, an autumn-colored skirt, and an auspicious silver hairpin with auspicious patterns on her all-white bun, which made her hair look like no other color except for that bright blue.
Lu Qingrong felt slightly cramped at this time.
In her impression, it seems that she has never had the experience of being alone with Mrs. Tai, and she can't help but be a little unaccustomed to it.
At this time, Mrs. Tai was silent, but raised her hand to signal Lu Qingrong to sit in front of her.
Lu Qingrong suddenly found that there was a round stool with wenge wood noodles in front of Mrs. Tai, so he walked over slowly.
"Grandmother."
As soon as Lu Qingrong sat down, Mrs. Tai stretched out her hands, held her two small hands in them, and looked at her with a warm smile, looking very amiable.
But he made Lu Qingrong feel furious.
Mrs. Tai wanted to say something, she could probably guess in her heart, but staring at her like this all the time and not opening her mouth made her a little at a loss.
"Qingrong, do you remember the scene when your eldest sister got married last year?" Mrs. Tai finally broke the silence.
"Yes." Lu Qingrong nodded, "That day, the house was very lively, firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, and the second sister also dragged me to mix in the crowd, and saw the welcoming team and the sedan chair leaving Jinglin Hutong in a majestic manner......"
Lu Qingrong recalled the scene he saw that day, but there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.
After all, his family affairs can't be as smooth as the eldest sister.
Mrs. Tai mistook her preoccupied appearance for yearning, and then asked, "Then does Qingrong want to marry like your eldest sister in a beautiful way?" ”
It's finally here.
Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart.
And she didn't say anything right away, just bowed her head and said nothing, waiting to hear what Mrs. Tai said next.
When Mrs. Tai saw her appearance, she naturally thought she was shy: "You don't have to be shy. When a woman gets married, this is something that everyone has to go through. Although your second sister and third sister have not yet married, if we can meet this once-in-a-century opportunity, why can't we miss it? Your mother used to say that you would wait until you were past the age of marriage to marry. If it really comes to that time, I can't guarantee that you will be able to become the wife of this world! ”
If Lu Qingrong still had a glimmer of hope before, then when he heard this "Mrs. Shizi" at this time, he no longer had any luck.
Her body couldn't help but tremble a little when she heard "Mrs. Shizi", which did not escape Mrs. Tai's eyes.
Mrs. Tai took it for granted that Lu Qingrong was a little tempted, and began to say in detail: "Marquis of Jingyuan, I guess you haven't seen it yet, but my grandmother met him when he was a child. At that time, he was very young, he was tall, his eyes were like stars, and he heard that he was very good at reading, and he could practice martial arts. ”
Hearing this, Lu Qingrong, who had been bowing his head and being silent, finally couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Mrs. Tai in surprise.
She never expected that Mrs. Tai would describe Jiang Xuan like this.
Lu Qingrong originally thought that even if Mrs. Tai would not cry like Lu Qianyu, at least she would spread out the matter and tell her, and then understand it with reason and emotion.
I didn't think about it, but I started this act of coaxing children.
This couldn't help but make Lu Qingrong a little gloomy.
"Hey, I heard Cui Shiyun from the Marquis of Wuding Mansion say in the women's school that her brother Cui Yan is the companion of the second prince?"
Lu Qingrong asked innocently.
She couldn't figure out why such a sentence came out of nowhere.
Mrs. Tai was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then explained to her: "It was in the past two years that the Marquis of Jingyuan was in poor health, so he was temporarily replaced. ”
Seeing Lu Qingrong's eyes wide at this time, looking at him with some puzzlement, Mrs. Tai realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly explained: "There are two sides to everything, if it weren't for the fact that the prince is in poor health now, the name of Mrs. Shizi wouldn't have fallen on our heads!" ”
"What's more, if you marry at this time, you can be fated at a young age, not to mention, if the son of the world improves because of this, it will not all become your credit!"
Mrs. Tai never mentioned the word Chongxi.
What if the condition still does not improve, or even worsens?
Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart, but he didn't say it.
She was already a little disheartened by this time.
Mrs. Tai didn't mean to tell her the truth, and she was in no mood to speak.
After that, when Mrs. Tai talked endlessly about the Zhongming Ding Shi Qi of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion, Lu Qingrong also stopped speaking, only nodded occasionally, until he finally said goodbye and left the east room.
And Mrs. Tai has always regarded it as a little daughter's shyness, so she is quite satisfied with her reaction.
I called Lu Qingrong to say this today, not to ask for her consent.
Naturally, it is not her turn to make her own decisions about marriage.
It's just that if Lu Qingrong marries into the Hou Mansion, the relationship between the two families will depend on her to maintain it in the future, so she must not be suspicious and know the importance of it.
At this time, Lu Qingrong, who came out of the main courtyard, was in a very low mood, and took the green bamboo all the way back to the east courtyard without a word.
When she heard Lu Qianyu mention this matter for the first time in the Wisteria Pavilion just now, she was completely confused in her mind.
But when I calmed down and thought about it for a while, I knew that I had no choice in this matter.
Lu Yiduo is now in prison, if you want to help him clear his name, you must find out the real culprit, as long as you can't find the real person who leaked the question, then Lu Yiduo, as the chief examiner, must bear the brunt of this scapegoat.
If it was true that only by marrying Houfu Chongxi could he rescue his father, Lu Qingrong had already made up his mind on the way to the main courtyard......
But I don't want Mrs. Tai to not even tell the truth to herself.
Unconsciously, Lu Qingrong walked to the main house in the east courtyard.
"What about Mother?" Seeing that Yin Pingru was not there, Lu Qingrong asked the maid in the house.
"Uncle Yin is here, and Mrs. is going to the front to meet the guests."
It turned out that my uncle was here, and I don't know if my father's affairs have progressed.
Lu Qingrong thought in his heart, so he sat in the room and waited for his mother to come back.
After about a cup of tea, Yin Pingru returned to the main house with a depressed expression.
"Mother, what new news did my uncle bring?" Lu Qingrong hurriedly stood up and asked.
"Hmm." Yin Pingru nodded slightly, "A notice has been posted at the entrance of the examination room, and the Gongyuan will be unsealed tomorrow, and candidates can enter the re-examination." ”
At that time, after the fraud in the examination room, the Gongyuan was immediately sealed up for the purpose of searching for evidence.
What Lu Qingrong didn't expect was that it hadn't been long since it was unsealed.
"Did you find any evidence of someone who leaked the question?" Lu Qingrong asked.
Yin Pingru frowned, but shook her head.
I see. Lu Qingrong secretly said that it was not good.
If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to prove Lu Yiduo's innocence.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Lu Qingrong took a deep breath before he spoke: "Mother, let me marry Hou Mansion Chongxi." ”
Yin Pingru was shocked.
"Who told you that?"
Lu Qingrong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "There's no other way, isn't it?" ”
Seeing Yin Pingru's sad face and not knowing how to answer, Lu Qingrong pretended to be relaxed and said: "There is nothing wrong with marrying into the Hou Mansion, now I am the wife of the prince, and I can still be Mrs. Hou in the future, but when the time comes, it will be higher than my mother's fate!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yin Pingru shouted, "Don't joke with me, you don't know much less about the matter of the Marquis of Jingyuan than me, and you still tell me about the infamous things he started." ”
Yin Pingru thought about it, and said in a loud voice: "If you want to be Mrs. Hou, then he must also have the life to be this Hou Ye!" ”
At this moment, Yin Pingru didn't care about taboos at all, and even rushed out of his mouth with such words.
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this.
I'm afraid there will never be another person who thinks about herself like her mother.
But at the same time, she also understands that her mother has long been unable to do anything, and she is just holding on at the moment.
"But sooner or later, I will get married, rather than marrying someone I don't know in the future, it is better to marry this time, and I can still save my father in danger." Lu Qingrong's words really came from the heart, "Although the Marquis of Jingyuan has a bad reputation, who can guarantee that the person I marry in the future will definitely be better than him?" ”
Yin Pingru was stunned when asked, but she didn't dare to agree: "We will help you choose carefully in the future, how can you be inferior to him?" ”
Lu Qingrong burst out: "When my grandmother helped you choose, she must have been cautious enough, but what was the result?" ”
Before the words fell, Lu Qingrong had already begun to regret that he was too unscrupulous. RS
