Through the blurred vision, Lu Qingrong could vaguely see that there were some fine wrinkles around the corners of Lu Yiduo's slightly drooping eyes.

It's a little different from when I first met him twelve years ago.

The changes in the appearance of the years, coupled with the past ten years of getting along, the face in front of him has gradually coincided with the appearance of his father in his previous life, and it is difficult to distinguish from each other.

Seeing Lu Yiduo's expression, he waited intently for her answer.

"I agreed to it myself." Lu Qingrong said.

Seeing that Lu Yiduo's face was a little gloomy, she added: "No one forced me." ”

Lu Yiduo hesitated and wanted to speak again.

Lu Qingrong rushed ahead.

"Father! Marquis Jingyuan's Mansion is actually nothing bad, the noble family, the status is transcendent, it is a few points higher than the eldest sister's husband's family, not to mention that you and Marquis Jingyuan can talk, and I am not afraid that I will be bullied in the future. ”

Lu Qingrong said it easily.

Lu Yiduo didn't believe it at all in his heart. If she really thought so, she wouldn't have started with "Actually, there's nothing bad."

"What's the use of talking to Marquis Jingyuan? Now the situation in the Hou Mansion, I don't think I need to tell you more, right? ”

Hearing Lu Yiduo's slightly solemn tone, Lu Qingrong was also much more serious.

"Whether it's the situation of the Hou Mansion or the reputation of the prince, I've heard about it some." Lu Qingrong said slowly: "But what does this mean?" It's nothing more than word of mouth from those who have nothing to do with it, and who can really understand the inside story? Just like our family, people outside must think that I am just a drag oil bottle in Lufu, who would have thought that you would not even care about your own future for the sake of my family? ”

Lu Yiduo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Lu Qingrong didn't plan to stop there, if he didn't say some things at the moment, he didn't know if there would be a chance in the future.

"Father, the year before last, the Marquis of Jingyuan came to mention that you and your mother disagreed, and I also heard from my mother. I understand what you mean, you just don't want me to be wronged. But now you just think that the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is not a good place to go, if you really regret the marriage, what will happen after that? Even if you completely tear your face with the Hou Mansion for this, I may not be able to get a good end. Now that the matter of the two families has already spread all over the capital, I am afraid that whether it is with the prestige of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion in the Great Qi Dynasty or the power in the capital, it will be even more difficult for me to marry in the future! ”

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

And she was right, he had just heard about this before he came back, and he was only thinking about how the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion was inappropriate, and he also knew that if he regretted his marriage, he would definitely offend the Marquis Mansion and affect his future, he didn't care much about it, but he didn't take into account that it was not only himself who was affected, but also Lu Qingrong.

What is best for his daughter, he also began to waver for a while, and became a little undecided.

Lu Qingrong also saw his hesitation, and then said: "The world is unpredictable, marriage has its own destiny, after two years, and finally made a marriage with the Marquis of Jingyuan, this is not fate, I finally made up my mind, you don't have to pour cold water on me!" Besides, you can't always keep me behind you for the rest of your life, and no matter where you marry, you always have to face it alone. If you don't do well, even if you marry into a low-income family, you will be bullied, and on the contrary, even if you marry a high family to the Hou Mansion, you will not be wronged. Do you believe your daughter? ”

In the end, Lu Qingrong had changed his innocent and proud appearance, blinking a pair of apricot eyes, and looking at Lu Yiduo mischievously.

Lu Yiduo saw it, and it was difficult to maintain the strictness just now.

Lu Qingrong's actions, he is still very confident.

In the past ten years, I have watched her grow up day by day, although she has always disliked to be the top among her brothers and sisters, but as long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that she is no worse than anyone else in all aspects. And whether it is several sisters, or Mrs. Tai and Geng of the Lu Mansion in the past two years, they have never had any complaints about her.

Is it really that I care about it and am too nervous?

"Who says you can't be kept behind you for the rest of your life? You must promise that if you are wronged in the future, you will never hide it from us! Lu Yiduo pretended to be stern and said.

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he finally put his mind at ease, and hurriedly raised his arm and swore to the sky: "I promise!" If I have been wronged, I will definitely ask you to help me out. She has always had no scruples in talking to her father, and at this time she joked: "That Jingyuan Marquis Shizi has a pale face and a sick body, he will definitely not be able to beat you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qingrong realized that something was wrong.

"When have you seen him?" Lu Yiduo really caught the loophole in this remark at once.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but he was not flustered, "How could I have seen him?" I listened to my classmates in the girls' school......"

Lu Yiduo believed her statement, but thinking of Jiang Xuan's illness, his heart was inevitably a little heavy.

Lu Qingrong was thinking about diverting the topic, when a small guy outside the door hurriedly entered.

"Master, I'll try to release the list."

Both father and daughter were immediately attracted by the words.

To put it aside in previous years, the palace examination has already begun at this time, but this year because of the delay in the case of fraud in the field, and the emperor paid special attention to the later batch of papers, so the time dragged on for a particularly long time.

"Is the eldest young master on the list?" Lu Yiduo asked unhurriedly.

The little guy has been standing with his head down since he entered the door, and he never raised his head when he heard the words, but only responded in a low voice: "The eldest young master...... Lost the list. ”

"Got it." Lu Yiduo was very calm, "You go down first." ”

The little guy didn't leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The eldest aunt of the Di family won the fifth place in the exam. ”

Lu Yiduo then remembered that he had actually forgotten Di Qian, and hurriedly ordered: "You go and inform the housekeeper, ask him to back up the congratulatory gift, and send it to the Di family." ”

The little guy went away.

Lu Qingrong saw that his father's expression was not unusual, so he didn't say anything.

Lu Chengjie is very young, and he has a reputation for being a person, which is already very remarkable. When my father and uncle were as old as him, they weren't Jinshi.

And now the situation is a little special, Lu Yiduo's matter has just passed, if he is allowed to be a jinshi at this time, he may not be able to have any good places.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong suddenly felt that something was wrong. At that time, when Lu Chengjie just came back from the examination room, he looked like he was not confident to be on the list, could it be ......

Lu Yiduo also has this doubt.

When I saw Lu Chengjie in the main courtyard in the morning, I asked him about the examination, and at that time, Lu Chengjie said very abnormally that his knowledge was not solid, and it may not be a good thing to pass the exam too early, which couldn't help but make Lu Yiduo feel a little strange.

The study suddenly became quiet, and the father and daughter were thinking about their own thoughts.

At this moment, another little servant came in to tell him that Lu Fangyu was here, and he was waiting for Lu Qingrong in the Wisteria Pavilion at the moment.

Lu Qingrong resigned from his father and hurriedly returned to the Wisteria Pavilion.

At this moment, Lu Zhu is serving Lu Fangyu to sit in the hall drinking tea, today she is wearing a light purple embroidered bamboo pattern chicken heart collar gown, lotus lotus color skirt, her hair is pulled into a fallen horse bun, and she is pinned with a red gold and blue stone hairpin, compared with when she lived in Wisteria Pavilion before, she has become much plump, but it is still demure.

"Sister, why are you here? I'm so anxious to hear our congratulations to you! Lu Qingrong quipped as soon as he came in.

"That's right." Lu Fangyu put down the celadon teacup in her hand and followed her words: "I'll hear how you plan to congratulate me." ”

Lu Qingrong rarely saw the eldest sister so narrow-minded, and he also smiled and said: "Congratulations to the eldest sister who has now become Mrs. Gongshi, and will soon become Mrs. Jinshi!" No, no, my brother-in-law will try to take the fifth place, and it is not impossible to rank in the top three after the palace exam! ”

Lu Fangyu couldn't help but laugh: "Pure nonsense, how can there be such a name as Mrs. Gongshi!" ”

Lu Qingrong smiled, waiting to hear Lu Fangyu continue.

"Today is your birthday, I can't catch up with the family banquet in the evening, and Di Mansion will also hold a banquet to celebrate today, so I came over in advance to add makeup to you." Lu Fangyu smiled and showed her intentions.

"Makeup? So early, huh? Three days to go! ”

"The dowry was supposed to be sent a day early, and it wasn't too early for me to come over today. Aren't grandmother and second aunt also planning to put on makeup for you today, don't you know? ”

Lu Qingrong really didn't know.

Mrs. Tai also sent someone to inform Lu Fangyu this morning that she had just decided.

Originally, today was just a birthday party, and she had to wait until tomorrow to add makeup, but in the end, she was persuaded by Geng's to "take advantage of today's good day for the family reunion, it is better to do it together" before she temporarily changed her mind.

Geng has his own mind. She had already prepared for Lu Qingrong's makeup, but if it was just a birthday banquet today, she would have to give another gift, which was not very cost-effective.

Lu Qingrong and Lu Fangyu naturally couldn't think of this.

Receiving a Hetian jade embossed bamboo paperweight sent by Lu Fangyu, Lu Qingrong liked it very much, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid this is the most elegant makeup I have ever received!" ”

Lu Fangyu saw that Lu Qingrong was very different from usual today, and became much more cheerful, and her heart was somewhat more steady.

The two sisters talked and laughed for a while, and then Lu Fangyu hurried back to the Di Mansion.

When it came to the birthday banquet in the evening, Lu Qingrong really didn't receive such elegant makeup.

Mrs. Tai gave a set of Nanzhu head noodles, and each bead on it was nearly the size of a thumb, which made Lu Manyu's eyes on the side straight.

Aunt Gu also came to Lu Mansion and gave a set of red gold Ruyi head noodles, plus a pair of solid red gold bracelets.

Looking at the pile of gold swaying on the plate, Lu Qingrong began to wonder a little, this is not quite like his aunt's style.

But soon she reflected her aunt's good intentions, whether it was antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pearls and jade, they were all nothing more than vassals and elegance, decorative and ornamental things, only this red gold object, when encountering difficulties, it can be directly used as silver......

And Geng's shot this time was also extraordinarily generous, and he sent a jade Guanyin ornament to her.

Lu Qingrong couldn't forget it for a long time, and when Yin Pingru saw the goddess of mercy, he suddenly had a solemn look...... RS
