Chapter 123: Marriage
Zhou Youlin's words made Ling Qingyun slightly surprised.
Lu Yu's needlework habits are very insignificant, and only she and her sister know about them.
However, the people who serve Lu Yu know more or less. If Zhou Youlin had the heart to inquire, he might know.
What Ling Qingyun was surprised about was that he was so caring.
She thought of Zhou Youlin's refusal to withdraw from her family, and would rather recognize Lu Yu's child, and felt a little guilty about this person in her heart.
Her love flashed from the bottom of her eyes, and she quickly regained her chastity again, and said, "Jiu Niang has pointed out my needlework."
She didn't go into details.
All words are lies. It's best to stop a lie. The deeper you go, the more flaws there are.
Besides, Zhou Youlin doesn't have to figure it out.
He already had doubts in his heart, and Ling Qingyun's words were not enough to dispel his doubts at all.
His thick eyebrows were deep, and his eyes were swirling with unwillingness and pain. However, he didn't stare at Ling Qingyun too hard.
He felt that this would make Anwei uncomfortable.
They have a very good relationship, and An Wei is willing to let Zhou Youlin come in and ask Ling Qingyun these questions, and he regards Zhou Youlin as his own brother. Therefore, Zhou Youlin could not live up to An Yuan's trust.
"Excuse me, Miss Ling." Zhou Youlin lowered his head, his eyes did not look at Ling Qingyun, and after seeing the ceremony, he said this, turned around and went out.
An's eaves sent him.
Ling Qingyun stayed in the back room, her heart was undulating, and it was difficult to be quiet.
An Wei sent Zhou Youlin away, and soon turned back again. There are two maids in the middle of the house, and only Ling Qingyun and An Eaves are left in the inner room.
An Wei pondered for a moment, ready to say something, when suddenly a maid entered the courtyard.
"Is my cousin here?" The maid asked in the middle of the day, "Princess Ji and Lord Yongde are here."
Aunt and Zhenniang are here?
Ling Qingyun's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly got up.
"I'm here." Ling Qingyun replied, raised the curtain and came out, and said to the maid, "You go and say goodbye, and I will come immediately." β
The maid said yes.
Ling Qingyun went back to the back room, packed up all the things on the kang table, handed them to her maids, and asked them to take them back.
After straightening her clothes, Ling Qingyun said to An Wei: "I'll go over and take a look." You are still in the house, don't go out today, lest you see the wind and get infected with the cold. β
An Wei's eyes were very calm, and he said, "You go." β
Ling Qingyun glanced at him.
Then, without saying anything, she moved to her aunt's side. She hadn't seen Zhen Niang for a few days, and she missed her a lot.
An eaves sits alone.
His eyes are like a cold pool, silent and deep, and there is no half-heart. He was silent for a long time, and went through the cause and effect of the matter.
An Wei seemed to understand something in his heart.
However, this thought was unpleasant to him, and he tried his best to suppress it. The arrival of Zhou Youlin brought these thoughts to An Wei's mind.
"Wan'er, don't let me down" He looked out the window, a field of snow, and the breath he exhaled could freeze into frost. After a long time, he said this slowly.
"Come on, find out my wind." An Wei suddenly called out to the maid.
He was ready to go out.
The maid did not dare to stop him, but hurried to find his winter coat, wind, and hat, and gave them to him.
An Wei was neatly dressed, and despite the fact that he was still sick, he went out in a carriage.

Princess Ji and Zhen Niang are in the family today, in addition to visiting the Jing family, they are also discussing with Xiao Jing's family, when to go to Ciguang Temple to offer incense.
It has been snowing these days, and the presiding officer of Tsz Guang Temple has gone to various places to collect donations.
An Jia and Ji Wangfu each donated ten stones of grain and more than 1,000 catties of cotton, so that Ciguang Temple could open a charity hall to help refugees.
Now, money can't buy grain and cotton. The move of An Jia and Ji Wangfu was praised by the emperor.
The presiding officer of Ciguang Temple also invited the wives of the two families to pay homage to incense, and prepared a lot of peace charms for their two clans, blessing their homes and good health.
"Sixteen again?" Xiao Jingshi smiled and said to Princess Ji, "It's snowing for the past few days, it's cold outside, and the mountain roads are not easy to walk." But wait a few days, and the ground will be dry."
"It's better to be late." Princess Ji said, "Ciguang Temple is famous for its plum blossom trees. This time the snow didn't open, wait a few days, maybe a few can bloom, let's go shopping. β
So it was agreed, October 16 to go to Ciguang Temple.
Ling Qingyun and Zhen Niang sat on the kang next to them, and the two of them also muttered and talked.
"Her master didn't dress her warmly, and her feet were frozen in winter." Zhen Niang asked about Ling Qingrui, and Ling Qingyun sued her.
Zhen Niang heard this and was very angry.
"Damn the old thief!" Zhen Niang scolded, her voice a little loud.
"Zhen Niang!" Princess Ji suddenly scolded Zhen Niang. Jing and Xiao Jing also heard this, and they both turned their heads to look at her, making Princess Ji feel that her daughter was uneducated.
"Okay, why did you scold Mrs. Shi?" Princess Ji frowned.
Zhen Niang gossiped and told Ling Qingyun to her words, and told everyone.
Jing was shocked, and there were tears in his eyes.
Xiao Jingshi was also surprised, she didn't expect that the master would be so harsh to Rui Niang.
Everyone is a little sad, and they also have a kind of mustard for the people of Buddhism.
Jing, in particular, hated the old nun to death.
"I'm a little cold, go back and get some clothes, you guys sit first." Jing suddenly stood up and said.
She couldn't wait to go back and see Rui Niang. This matter, because An Wei was sick, Ling Qingyun didn't have time to tell Jing's family, so Jing's family knew.
She was very impetuous.
"Sister, go quickly." Xiao Jing understood Jing's thoughts and persuaded her to go back quickly.
Jing didn't care about calling Ling Qingyun, and left in a hurry.
Princess Ji is a smart person and vaguely understands something, but she doesn't break it, pretends not to know, and only thinks that Rui Niang is a child of the third room.
"Is the county lord here?" At the door, Anton's voice was heard.
Zhao Zhen's expression was a little unnatural. Such a heroic and heroic girl, when she heard An Dong's voice, her eyes became a little shy.
Ling Qingyun was slightly surprised.
"County Lord." Ling Qingyun was taken aback, An Dong had already come in, smiling and saluting Zhen Niang.
An Dong is of medium height, with a round face, I can't say that he is handsome, I can only say that he is very white and cute, like a child.
Therefore, he often says something flamboyant, and no one will think he is frivolous, but that he is naΓ―ve and unworldly.
"I haven't seen you in days." An Dong said, "Why didn't the county lord come to my house to play?" I went to your house the day before yesterday, but I didn't see you, where did you go? β
"I'm going to see polo." Zhen Niang replied. Her shame has been removed, and she has become indifferent, talking to An Dong cheerfully.
An Dong looked surprised and asked, "You don't call me when you watch polo?" β
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't call you." The day before yesterday it was very windy, and we were stuck in the polo field and couldn't come back, and we didn't get home until the curfew. β
She laughed, her eyes crooked, like a crescent moon.
An Dong was stunned, and said enviously: "County Lord, you are very good-looking, better looking than any girl I have ever seen." β
Zhao Zhen's face was red suddenly, and he couldn't answer a word, so he bit his lip vigorously.
Princess Ji and Xiao Jing both heard it and couldn't help but look at it.
"I can marry you as a daughter-in-law." Before Anton finished speaking, he continued.
Princess Ji was slightly stunned.
Xiao Jing was shocked.
"Dong'er!" Xiao Jing scolded, "You dare to despise the county lord, do you want your father to come back and beat you with a whip?" β
Xiao Jing was afraid that Princess Ji would think that her son was frivolous and slippery. An Dong is such a character, when he sees a girl, he will praise others and say a lot of beautiful things.
Those words of praise came from his heart, so he said them seriously.
However, the girls couldn't help but be embarrassed by him.
"Oh, so they're brothers." Ling Qingyun thought, "An Dong is talking like this to every girl, and An Wei only talks to me."
An Wei is the same, sometimes he speaks very affectionately, which inevitably makes people feel that he is laughing, but he is very strict and serious.
"I mean really." Over there, An Dong replied to Xiao Jing's, "Mother, don't you think the county lord is good-looking?" β
Zhao Zhen's face was as red as the sunset in the sky, red and beautiful.
Xiao Jing made a gesture to hit him.
"Don't." Princess Ji came back to her senses from her surprise and said to Xiao Jing with a smile, "This kid has a good heart and a sweet mouth."
"He has been like this since he was a child, he has to say a few good words to anyone he meets, and he doesn't know how to look at people's faces." Xiao Jing said ashamedly, "Now that I'm older, I'm afraid that others will think he is not dignified." β
"Not really." Princess Ji said.
Zhao Zhen blushed for a long time, and suddenly said, "You want to ask me to be my daughter-in-law?" β
When she said this, there was a thunderclap on the ground, which shocked Princess Ji and Xiao Jing, and even Ling Qingyun was stunned.
Zhao Zhen is very heroic.
"Eun." Like a puppy, An Dong immediately moved to Zhao Zhen's side and said, "Of course, I like the county lord, the county lord is interesting." β
He thinks that Zhao Zhen can play, polo, whip, and equestrianism are very good, and An Dong is not as good as her.
He admired Zhao Zhen a little.
"If you don't look at other girls in the future, don't talk to other girls, and don't praise other girls for being good-looking, I'm willing." Zhao Zhen said that her face was involuntarily dripping blood again, and it was red, "For the rest, please let my father and mother decide." β
An Dong was at a loss.
What are the rules?
Princess Ji was shocked. She had never seen a girl so unreserved and unseemly.
How can a girl marry herself?
In theory, An Jia is very good, and An Dong is also a beautiful boy, with appearance, family, and personality, all worthy of Zhen Niang.
If you really want to, you can discuss it slowly.
However, Zhen Niang is so arrogant, what will Mrs. An think of her? Just said that An Dong is not dignified, Zhen Niang is too casual like this, and will scare Mrs. An to death.
If Mrs. An is frightened, where is she willing to ask her for this daughter-in-law?
"You kid!" Princess Ji stood up anxiously and said, "Your father spoiled you too much, and you don't know the affairs of the world!" β
Then he apologized to Xiao Jing's family, "Don't laugh at her, she is a country girl, and I can't control her." β
Xiao Jing was also shocked, but he was not displeased. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at Zhen Niang and Princess Ji.
Ling Qingyun was also stunned by Zhao Zhen.
She is very envious of Zhen Niang's boldness. Only Zhen Niang can live like a person.
