Chapter Eighty-Three: Days
Yin Pingru was speechless when asked.
She really couldn't refute this, but she wasn't angry, just because she remembered those unbearable pasts, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Lu Qingrong saw his mother like this, and he blamed himself very much.
Seeing Yin Pingru standing motionless at the moment, as if her soul had been pumped, the tears that had been accumulated in Lu Qingrong's eyes for a long time finally burst out of her eyes, and she also threw herself into her mother's arms.
She was now under thirteen years old, barely taller than her mother's shoulders.
Yin Pingru slowly stretched out her hands and hugged her into her arms.
There was silence in the room.
The mother and daughter embraced each other in silence for a long time.
Lu Qingrong still told Yin Pingru about what Mrs. Tai asked her to do today.
Although those words made her heart gloomy for a while, but after thinking about it, it was nothing more than a mother's desire to save her son, and in this society where male superiority and inferiority are completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there is almost no need to hesitate to choose.
Yin Pingru frowned even more after hearing this. Lu Qingrong said something very right, she really has no other way to think at this moment.
After that, both mother and daughter invariably stopped mentioning the matter.
It wasn't until later that I had dinner in the main house, and together with Lu Qianyu, I accompanied Yin Pingru to help Lu Chengjie prepare the things to bring for tomorrow's re-exam.
Fortunately, Lu Chengjie's identity as a candidate was not implicated in this incident, and he was still eligible to participate in this examination.
Lu Qingrong and Lu Qianyu were busy for a long time before returning to the Wisteria Pavilion together.
Since Lu Fangyu got married, only the two of them lived in Wisteria Pavilion.
In the past, except for resting, Lu Qianyu rarely went upstairs, and was always hanging back and forth downstairs Lu Qingrong. Some time ago, because of Jiang Ling's troubles, I didn't wander downstairs for a while.
As soon as she returned to the Wisteria Pavilion today, Lu Qianyu followed Lu Qingrong into the inner room as before.
"Fourth sister, do you think that the eldest brother will have a chance to be on the emperor list this time?"
"There should be a chance, since he has retained his status as a candidate, I don't think I will embarrass him anymore, it depends on the results of the eldest brother." Lu Qingrong said.
"Hmm." Lu Qianyu nodded, and then said: "I can still participate in the examination, which means that the eldest brother is innocent, which means that my father did not leak the question to the eldest brother." Even the eldest brother's father refused to sue him, how could he leak the question to others! ”
Lu Qianyu's thinking this time is very clear.
But if only it were that simple.
Lu Qingrong showed a wry smile helplessly.
Throughout the night, Lu Qianyu talked about this and that, and also didn't say a word about the joy of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion.
A qiē seems to be no different from usual.
But Lu Qingrong still felt a difference in her eyes.
It is neither as enthusiastic and agile as usual, nor as indifferent as awkwardness these days, but an indescribable sadness and hesitation.
She doesn't want to push herself, right?
Lu Qingrong thought to himself.
On this night, everyone in the Lu family had their own concerns.
But no matter how slowly time flies, the next day will still come.
Early the next morning, not long after everyone sent away Lu Chengjie, who had just gone to participate in the examination, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion arrived as scheduled.
The servant of the porter had already been instructed, and as soon as she saw the second lady, she directly welcomed her into the main courtyard.
Yin Pingru also arranged someone at the door, and before Mrs. Tai sent someone to invite her, she hurriedly rushed to the main courtyard.
Even if you have no choice but to agree to this family business, at least you have to delay it for as long as you want.
Yin Pingru secretly thought in her heart, since the condition of the Marquis of Jingyuan is unpredictable, if it drags on for a long time......
She couldn't help but blame herself at the moment, feeling that she couldn't feel at ease by pinning her daughter's future on these illusory possibilities.
But thinking that Lu Yiduo's situation was even more critical at this time, if he was really detained with the big hat of fraud in the scientific field, then according to the laws of Daqi, there could be a disaster of death at any time......
Yin Pingru didn't dare to think about it anymore, and when she looked up and saw that she had already walked to the flower hall in the main courtyard, she stabilized her mind and walked in.
The people in the flower hall have all retreated, and at this time, there are only Mrs. Tai sitting on the main seat on the left, and the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion sitting under her.
I saw that the second lady was wearing a red carved silk gourd pattern sprinkled gold gown, a pomegranate-colored skirt, and her hair was combed into a complicated bun, on which several red gold magpie beads were inserted, and the whole person looked happy. Unlike yesterday's slightly hasty makeup, today looks carefully dressed.
Seeing Yin Pingru enter the flower hall, the second lady hurriedly spoke: "I just talked to Mrs. Tai about you, but it just so happened that you came over, I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived." ”
After speaking, the second lady raised the hibiscus embroidered silk handkerchief in her hand, covered her mouth and smiled.
I don't know if it's because of a bad mood, this originally very light laughter entered Yin Pingru's ears, which made her feel very harsh.
"What do you want me to say?" Yin Pingru still answered.
"I said that I came to the house last time yesterday and talked to you for a long time in the East Courtyard." The second lady said with a smile, and then turned her head to look at Mrs. Tai who was sitting at the top, "It's not that Mrs. Tai was still complaining about me just now, saying that I didn't come to see her old man yesterday!" ”
Yin Pingru smiled politely, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
When the second lady saw it, she was even more excited, and said to herself: "It just so happens that everyone is here today, and it saves the word to be transmitted, I think let's set this day first!" ”
Yin Pingru couldn't help but be a little stunned when she heard this, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Tai.
Before you say a couple of sentences, you're going to set a date?
Seeing that Mrs. Tai's face was indifferent at this time, she couldn't see any fluctuations in her feelings, and after being quiet for a while, she nodded slightly at the second lady.
The second lady was overjoyed when she saw this, and knew that this matter was done, so she couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, and immediately planned to speak while the iron was hot.
"Look at this!" Yin Pingru rushed to the front and said, "Let's get married first." After all, Qingrong is still young, and she will only turn thirteen next month, so I think it is better to wait for her to pass the age of marriage before getting married...... This is also a great joy, maybe with such a rush, the body of the Marquis of Jingyuan will be able to improve greatly, and it is not known! ”
Mrs. Tai didn't expect Yin Pingru, who has always been silent, to take the initiative to grab the words today, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.
And the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion is even more embarrassed, if this is the result, it will be far from the task given to her by Mrs. Wu.
She quickly glanced at Mrs. Tai, and saw that Mrs. Tai's expression became a little unnatural, so she felt a little relieved.
As long as Mrs. Tai doesn't mean that.
"Since it is Chongxi, it is natural that you have to get married." The second lady opened her mouth, "This marriage can't be counted!" ”
Yin Pingru tried her best to suppress the strange feeling when she heard the word "Chongxi": "It's just that Qingrong's age is too young, I'm afraid that even if I marry into the Hou Mansion, I won't be able to share Mrs. Wu's worries, but Mrs. Wu will worry about her......"
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way!" The second lady interrupted her, "Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis likes the fourth lady very much, even if she worries about her, she must be happy, otherwise she won't let me come to the door again and again to kiss!" ”
Seeing that Yin Pingru still had something to say, the second lady fortunately used a killer move: "Lord Lu is still cooperating in the criminal department to investigate the case, if he has never been able to find the evidence of the fraudster, then Lord Lu may not be able to get out for a while...... But if it is a happy event in the house, it will be different, when Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis said to An Lehou, there is also a reason, I think that Lord Lu will definitely be able to rush back to watch the fourth lady get married! ”
The implication is that if this family affair is not handled, then even if Lu Yiduo gets rid of the crime, he will still have to "cooperate in the investigation" and will not be able to get out of the criminal department......
As soon as these words came out, it was really extraordinary.
Let's not mention that Yin Pingru has already stood in place and stopped making a sound, even Mrs. Tai was a little flustered, for fear that her eldest daughter-in-law would say something to obstruct her, so she hurriedly took the lead in expressing her attitude: "In my opinion, since Mrs. Jingyuan is so sincere, it is better to get married on this day, let her decide!" We are only responsible for preparing the dowry for Qingrong. ”
The second lady was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's naturally good!" I won't tell you the truth, Mrs. Jingyuan has been turning over the yellow calendar for a long time, and it is a rare good day to marry and prosper on the sixteenth of next month, what do you think? ”
Next month!
Yin Pingru thought that the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion might be in a hurry, but he didn't expect it to be in such a hurry.
Thinking of Lu Yiduo, who is still in the prison of the Criminal Department, this objection cannot be said in his mouth for a while.
And Mrs. Tai had already opened her mouth: "Tell Mrs. Jingyuan Hou that this family matter will be scheduled for the sixteenth of next month!" ”
Even earlier, I'm afraid Mrs. Tai would still agree, and she wished that Lu Yiduo could come out earlier.
Yin Pingru was bitter in her heart at this time, and it was gratifying that Lu Yiduo was safe and sound, but her only concern now was to be sorry for her daughter......
The second lady was naturally overjoyed, and in this way, she finally completed the task assigned by Mrs. Wu.
"In that case, I'll congratulate Mrs. Tai here first, congratulations to Mrs. Lu!" The second lady's face bloomed with joy, so she didn't want to stay for a long time, and hurriedly went to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion to show her merits, "Then I won't bother much, I will go to the Hou Mansion first to reply, I think there are still many things to be busy in the future, we will meet often!" ”
After saying that, he said goodbye to Mrs. Tai and walked out of the hall.
Yin Pingru thought about it for a while, and followed her out to send her off.
Now that it is a foregone conclusion, we still have to find a way to help Lu Qingrong buy some time.
"Second lady, you also know that Qingrong's age ......"
Before Yin Pingru finished speaking, the second lady had already smiled.
"I understand, Mrs. Lu, don't worry. Since the main purpose of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion is to be happy, as long as the marriage can be lively, it will be enough, and the rest of the things are naturally not in a hurry. ”
The second lady then explained in a low voice: "Mrs. Jingyuan also said that the fourth lady is young, and getting married is just to do the happy event first, and it is not too late to wait for a year or two before the round house!" ”
This is indeed what Yin Pingru is worried about, but is Mrs. Wu's guarantee credible?
Even if what Mrs. Wu said was sincere, what about Jiang Xuan? He's eighteen years old...... RS
