At the beginning of every month, Lu would go to the Buddhist temple in the suburbs to make incense.

The life of women in ancient times was monotonous and narrow, in addition to banquets, guests, and nest fights (also known as house fights), there was one thing that was deeply loved by the majority of women, that is, asking God and asking Buddha.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty with relatively liberal beliefs, and there was no suppression of Buddhism or forbidden ways. Therefore, now Buddhism and Taoism are dual religions.

In the past, when I was in the Chen Mansion, the courtyard of the Da Yang clan was dedicated to the Yuan Shi Tianzun. Here, her sister Xiao Yang believes in Buddhism, and Lu believes in Buddhism.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in the middle of the month and the other at the beginning of the month, and they always have to go to the Big Buddha Temple outside the city to charity.

At the beginning of August, it was rare that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were going to the Big Buddha Temple together.

There is a reason for it, not for anything else, it is for Shen Changning's marriage.

During this time, the Lu family looked at many women of the right age, and she took a fancy to Xiao Yang's dissatisfaction and thought that the family was low. Xiao Yang's fancy, she has a lot of reluctance, she is the daughter of a wealthy family, who wants to marry you a concubine who has not achieved success and is not famous.

This time I looked at the daughter of Lord Wu, the prefect of Yunnan and Guizhou, who took advantage of the three-year assessment and the opportunity to report on his work in Beijing, and brought his daughter over, just to find a family in Beijing.

Although Lord Wu is in power in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, it is not particularly conspicuous in a place like Beijing, where there are many powerful people.

His original plan was that he had a good official position, his daughter was outstanding, and her character and talent were also good, even if she married into the prince's mansion, it was not particularly high, and there were people in Beijing who were good officials. He played his abacus carefully, who expected to enter Beijing Yueyu, but he hit a wall everywhere.

First of all, although Miss Wu is a concubine, she is a halfway concubine, and she just recorded her mother's name before entering Beijing.

The people who Lord Wu wants to climb are all clear in their hearts, and they don't marry the noble women of the high families in the capital, and go to marry a half-hung daughter from the countryside? Are you stupid?

Lord Wu had no choice but to retreat and look for the son of a colleague in the same official position, that is, the second generation of powerful officials, but everyone did not know that everyone had the same heart as Lord Wu, and they all felt that their children were strange goods to live in, and they all wanted to cling to a powerful person to help their children in the future. You take a concubine to fight for the future, are you lacking in heart when Lao Tzu is lacking?

Lord Wu retreated again, and began to focus on the concubine of the Prince's Mansion, first of all, the concubine's own hardware equipment must be hard enough, he probed it around, and came to this result:

There are two factions in the British government, the grandson is the prince's uncle, the family law is extremely strict, and the back house is also solemn, there is no concubine, the sons and daughters are all concubines, Lord Wu thought, the British prince is not stupid, it is estimated that he will not be able to marry himself. On the side of the Shu branch, there are quite a lot of sons, and the sons and daughters are illegitimate children, and the sons are complete, lustful and arrogant, and there are a lot of colors. Lord Wu muttered in his heart again, not that he was worried about Miss Wu, but he thought that the prince was now strong, although the current queen was on the side of the Shu branch, but the difference between King Chang and the prince was not a star and a half, and the boundary between the two branches was now so clear, after the prince took the throne, there was no good fruit to eat on the side of the Shu branch, so he collectively blacklisted.

After that, he inquired about other marquis mansions, and finally locked Shen Changning.

Although it is said that he is a concubine and his mother-in-law is strong, Lord Wu inquired that Shen Yuanning, the son of the family, is a very protective person, and he takes good care of his own people, and he will definitely take care of his younger brother when he becomes a marquis in the future.

Moreover, Shen Yuanning himself is also good enough, although he is not as popular as Shen Yuanning, but he is also a few in the middle of the Beijing family, and the difference is in the background.

In other words, if Shen Changning has the same background as Shen Yuanning, Lord Wu also has to think about it again, in case he is rejected, do you want the old face?

After making up his mind, he began to conduct a detailed investigation of Shen Changning, and under this investigation, it was found that he was also in a state of high and low.

The concubine can't marry, and the old lady of his family still dislikes the concubine, and it just so happens that his daughter has been recorded in the name of the grandmother. Master Wu felt that the marriage between his family and the Shen family was a match made in heaven.

So, in several banquets, Mrs. Wu hinted at the Lu clan meaningfully. Lu just blindly pretended to be confused and didn't answer, and the woman couldn't say it herself, we have taken a fancy to your boy, is it okay to be our son-in-law?

Later, Lord Wu knew that Shen Changning's biological mother was a noble concubine and the niece of Xiao Yang, the old wife of the Shen Mansion, so he found the way of the Yang family and handed the words to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's sent someone to inquire, and he really got interested, this Wu girl was much better than the people she had seen before, so she immediately replied.

After that, he called Shen Xiaoquan to Shou'an Hall, and cried with a handful of snot and tears that it was difficult for his stepmother, and it was even more difficult for his stepmother-in-law.

"Xiaoquan, I know that your daughter-in-law is angry with my wife, I taught her the rules when she first entered the door, she has a grudge against me, I don't blame her"

(The serious Hou Mansion is the eldest lady, and you need a halfway official like you to teach the rules?) ）

Of course, these Shen Xiaoquan couldn't think of it. Just blindly said:

"Where is it, mother, you think too much"

Shen Xiaoquan has been a marquis over the years, and he has listened to Lu's words more and more, Xiao Yang knows that he is not as respectful to himself as before, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said:

"Your daughter-in-law is amazing, she has a tough posture no matter what she does, and she sent the girls in your house as soon as she entered the door"

Seeing Shen Xiaoquan's face as he wished, he pretended to be distressed and said:

"But, her character, where will she be considerate and warm, I'm worried that there is no one around you who knows cold and hot, so I sent you two girls, but she found a mistake casually in a few days, and sent me back, filial piety, for the mother's heart, your daughter-in-law doesn't understand, you must understand."

Seeing that Shen Xiaoquan's face softened and nodded his head again and again, Xiao Yang's heart was secretly happy, and even a few drops of Fang Cai's false tears were missing.

Then she said:

"Although your daughter-in-law later accepted a few little stars for you, and opened her face to the maids around her, but for my mother to know, those girls are not worthy of you in terms of appearance or temperament, and my mother is very distressed when she looks at you all day long in her hands."

Shen Xiaoquan has not been clear since he was a child, and he was very guilty when Xiao Yang's three or two sentences said, completely ignoring the grievances suffered by Lu Yun when he first entered the door, and the deep meaning of Lu sending those bewitching and charming women at that time. Now I just think he's a tigress, a Hedong lion.

"Mother, don't worry, my son will go back to teach her a lesson, and let her come over every day in the future."

Xiao Yang grabbed Shen Xiaoquan with an innocent face and said:

"What are you doing, when you turn around, your daughter-in-law wants to say that my wife is making right and wrong for no reason, my mother said this to you, it is to make your heart clear, it is not easy to be a mother, I broke my heart for you, but I don't fall behind your daughter-in-law's good."

After stabilizing Shen Xiaoquan, Xiao Yang was secretly proud in his heart, so he began to cut to the topic.
