Chapter 101: Before Marriage
If Jiang Xuan was still a little resistant to this so-called Chongxi family affair before, then at this moment he himself realized that this kind of affection was no longer so strong.
As a prince of the Hou family, it is very rare to be able to persist until the age of eighteen without marrying.
Since she wants to get married no matter what, this Miss Lu Si ...... At least it's not that annoying.
At this time, even Jiang Xuan himself couldn't figure out whether that meaningful smile was because Mrs. Wu had miscalculated or something else......
And Lu Yizhong and Lu Chengjie, who were sent from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, did not have the same good mood as him, and both of them had a worried look on their faces.
"Second uncle, did you say that when we go back, do you want to tell my father what we saw in the Yuyuan today?" As soon as Lu Chengjie got into the carriage, he asked with some hesitation.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yizhong wasn't quite sure what he meant.
Is Jiang Xuan's condition referring to? Or those carminee fandels in the yard?
Lu Chengjie felt a little difficult to speak, and he didn't know how to speak.
Lu Yizhong saw his slightly embarrassed look, and suddenly felt that there was no need to ask more.
Recalling Jiang Xuan's very pale face just now, and the maids and maids in the Yuyuan Courtyard, I am afraid that this is not completely unrelated, it seems that the rumors I heard in the past are not groundless......
"Hey......" Lu Yizhong sighed: "You are also older, you must naturally weigh it in your heart, if some words are said, it can only make people more troublesome but there is nothing to be done, should it be said?" ”
Lu Chengjie lowered his head when he heard this, and stopped talking.
He was a little surprised at first, and the second uncle, who had always been outspoken, actually said such a thing, but he also understood that this was indeed the truth.
After all, they neither took concubines nor accepted houses, just a few maids, even if the Marquis of Jingyuan's behavior was absurd, they couldn't get it on the table.
Back in Jinglin Hutong, both of them invariably remained silent on the matter.
It's just that everyone gathered in the main courtyard for dinner, and when Mrs. Tai asked about the situation of the Hou Mansion, she said something like "The guests in the hall are full of praise for the Lu family's makeup", which is not an exaggeration.
"Has the Marquis of Jingyuan entertained you for dinner?" Mrs. Tai asked carefully.
"We have seen the son, but he is slightly unwell, and he hasn't said much." Lu Yizhong said honestly, "When we eat, it is mainly the second master Ke of the Hou Mansion who greets him, although he is still young, he is also very dedicated. ”
"What about Master Hou? Have you seen it today? ”
"Nope. However, Second Master Ke also mentioned this, and repeatedly promised that at the worship hall and wedding banquet tomorrow, Hou Ye would definitely come out to preside over it in person. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction.
Today is Lu Qingrong's last dinner before getting married, whether it is Mrs. Tai or Geng's family, they have said a lot of warm words to her, from the preparation of the bride to the wedding accessories, Lu Qingrong answered them one by one.
The family had a good meal.
It's just that after the banquet was dismissed, as soon as he returned to the West Courtyard, Geng's face fell.
"I've seen all the makeup today, and in the future, when Sister Man's son gets married, we will do the same!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! You can't remember anything before you have a word. Lu Yizhong suddenly felt a little headache.
"I naturally have to make plans early, not to mention that Sister Man'er is older, isn't this marriage just a matter of an eye!"
"You plan to yours, but don't compare with Qingrong, she is going to marry into the Hou Mansion, and the dowry naturally can't be too simple." Lu Yizhong saw that the Geng family was very persistent at the moment, and he also planned to explain this matter to her at one time, "And you also saw the dowry sent by the Hou Mansion, let me ask if Sister Man may have so many dowry gifts in the future?" What's more, this time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't use too much silver taels in the public middle school, basically they came out of their own room, don't you know? ”
Geng was about to speak, but Lu Yizhong continued: "And why Qingrong went to Chongxi this time, we all know it." Not to mention Sister Man'er, even if Sister Qian'er gets married in the future, there must not be this pomp, otherwise wouldn't it be too cold and clear of that girl's heart? ”
Geng just pursed his lips when he heard this, and said disapprehantly: "It's a big deal, let's find a Hou Mansion for Sister Man'er in the future!" ”
"Did you even listen to what I'm saying?" Lu Yizhong felt that he was simply playing the piano to the cow, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.
"I just don't want to wronged our daughter......" Geng's lips were slightly pursed, and he was a little eager to cry.
Seeing this, Lu Yizhong was suddenly a little at a loss, and hurriedly comforted: "I understand my thoughts, don't worry, I will definitely not let Sister Man'er be wronged." You also have to know that this high marriage is not necessarily a good thing......"
Lu Yizhong finally didn't hold back, and told her what he saw and heard in Yuyuan today.
I thought that she would have an epiphany because of this, but she didn't want Geng Shi to stop arguing with him on the surface, but her heart was still full of care.
Aren't all men like that?
Geng said secretly in his heart.
Even if it's Lu Yizhong, isn't it a concubine?
How many lucky people like Yin Pingru can have......
Geng's silence looked in Lu Yizhong's eyes, and he thought she was worried about Lu Qingrong.
And at this time, there are indeed people who are worried about Lu Qingrong.
After returning to the east courtyard from the main courtyard, Lu Qingrong first followed Yin Pingru to the main house, and the mother and daughter chatted for nearly an hour.
When Lu Qingrong walked back to the Wisteria Pavilion alone, it was already three moments.
The wisteria flowers on the flower corridor in front of the door are already budding, and they are swaying slightly in the breeze on the flower stand.
And right next to the flower gallery, a figure was standing motionless.
"Big brother?" Lu Qingrong saw Lu Chengjie.
Lu Chengjie took two steps forward and walked out of the shadow of the flower gallery, the moonlight shone on his face, and Lu Qingrong could clearly see his tangled expression.
"Big brother, do you have anything to tell me?"
Lu Chengjie hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "You are going to get married tomorrow, although the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is huge, but if you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't hold it in your heart, mother and grandmother are always more experienced, and they can help you come up with ideas." In short, don't be wronged. ”
This is the first time Lu Qingrong has heard him speak to himself like this, and his heart is really warm: "I understand, you can rest assured." Big brother has been waiting for me for so long, just to say this? ”
"Hmm." Lu Chengjie nodded a little uncomfortably, "This time it's always the Lu family who is sorry for you, if it weren't for your father's ......"
He didn't go on with the rest of the sentence.
"Why am I alone for my father's sake?" Lu Qingrong looked up at Lu Chengjie, "If it weren't for my father, tomorrow's today's entrance examination must also have a share of the eldest brother, right?" ”RS
