Chapter 245: Meeting the Parents
Mrs. Shangguan looked at the maid with a half-smile.
"Young Master, Young Master is back with Miss Lu!"
Mrs. Shangguan laughed even more.
"What's this? Ling Er was close to Li'er, and it was not impossible to take her back to the house for dinner. "What's more, it's rare to have a day in this province, and Li'er must have not seen her for too long, and I miss her very much.
"No," the maid took a deep breath, "it's holding hands, and the two of them are holding hands!" ”
Mrs. Shangguan was about to continue to smile calmly, when she suddenly felt that it didn't seem right, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"What?! What did you say? Who is holding whose hand? ”
"I can see clearly, it is our young master who is holding the hand of Miss Lu! The young master still turned his head and smiled at Miss Lu! That smile, the spring breeze is ten miles, and the snow in this cold winter is about to warm him up.
"Really?" Mrs. Shangguan's face was overjoyed, finally, they Ling'er finally got her senses!
"Really, ma'am, go and take a look." The maid was also happy in her heart, and it seemed that it would not be long before a great event would happen in their house.
The maid helped Mrs. and hurriedly walked from the backyard to the front hall, and saw two people sitting on the Taishi chair in the front hall, Shangguan Yinling's hand held Lu Li's, and the two people's hands were placed on the small table, very intimate.
"Yo, we're Ling'er back?" Mrs. Shangguan's smiling eyes were almost gone, and she had to pretend that she didn't know anything and walked into the front hall, not forgetting to remind them out loud.
Lu Li hurriedly retracted his hand, lowered his head slightly, and his cheeks were slightly red.
This girl is still shy, it's really unprecedented.
"Li'er is also here? Come and show me, are you thin? ”
Madame Shangguan took Lu Li's hand, pulled her in front of her, looked down at her slightly red cheeks, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Isn't it cold because of the wind? Why is your face so red? ”
"Mother, don't tease her." Shangguan Yinling smiled a little helplessly, as early as when he entered the door, he saw the maid hurriedly reporting the news.
In this world, what else can be hidden from my mother?
"Ling'er, my mother is right, let you start earlier and marry Li'er home, this time you finally lived up to your mother's hard work." Mrs. Shangguan raised her eyebrows, holding Lu Li's hand in her hand, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she felt, she lowered her head and stroked her cheek, "Look at my future daughter-in-law, she is delicate, cute, smart and intelligent, but she can be regarded as following me." Hurry up, come on, go and invite the master back, just say that there is something big happening in the house, give him half a pillar of incense time. ”
The people below hurriedly went to invite the prime minister, and Mrs. Shangguan pulled Lu Li to sit on the chair, clapped her hands with both hands, and never put down her smile.
"Li'er, why are there so few words today?"
It's really rare to see this girl shy once.
"Auntie, it's the first time I've seen you like this, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
She doesn't know much about the rules of meeting and marrying, and she doesn't know how to agree on marriage here in the capital, and there are no parents in her house to preside, this kind of thing is quite unfamiliar, and she doesn't know how to do it.
"Silly girl, I have long regarded you as a daughter-in-law, what's the difference?" Mrs. Shangguan knew her doubts, and shook her hand with some distress, "In the future, I will be your mother-in-law, and I will definitely arrange the marriage for you and send you to get married." ”
"But isn't that senior brother ......?"
"Whatever he does, he still has a father." At this juncture, Mrs. Shangguan unceremoniously gave up her child.
While a few people were talking, Lord Shangguan hurriedly ran back.
"What's the matter? Madame, what happened? ”
As soon as he sat down in the political hall, the chair was not yet hot, and this little guy hurriedly came to report, saying that something big had happened in the house, and he hurried back.
"Your son brought his daughter-in-law home, but it's a big deal?"
Mrs. Shangguan raised her eyes slightly to look at Prime Minister Shangguan, and he stiffened slightly, only then did he react.
"Ling'er, are you ...... Decided on a family affair? He looked at Shangguan Yinling's expression, saw the affirmation in his eyes, and turned his head to look at the only girl in the hall, and sure enough, it was Lu Lilu's girl.
It seems that Madame really guessed correctly.
"Miss Lu, is it really you?"
"It's really me." Lu Li got up and blessed his body, "Prime Minister, let you smile." ”
"If you don't laugh, you don't laugh, it's too late for me to be happy, it's too late for me to be happy." The Prime Minister was so happy that he was already incoherent.
Eighteen years, since the day they Ling'er was born, he and his wife often imagined what kind of girl he would marry, but he didn't expect that today, eighteen years later, he finally learned the result.
They thought that Ling Er grew up in the capital, and naturally was raised by the feng shui of the capital, and should bring home a young lady from a family, everyone is beautiful, gentle and housekeeping, but they didn't expect to go to Baozhou for disaster relief and bring back a chivalrous and soft-hearted heroine, which surprised them.
In fact, this young woman is more beautiful than this lady, which makes them happy in their hearts.
They should not be bound by the law of etiquette, they should do what they want with the people they love, if they are not bound by the court, it is not a good thing to travel the world.
"Today you have to take care of it, the family feast must be prepared, let's celebrate."
"This lunch can be celebrated, and dinner should not be prepared, today the queen held a palace banquet, and our family is also complete."
The Prime Minister's Mansion was lively, beating gongs and drums to prepare a full table of meals, Lu Li was almost finished, and Mrs. Shangguan was still serving food for her.
After lunch, Mrs. Shangguan sent Shangguan Yinling away, and she took Lu Li's hand and entered her bedroom.
Lu Li sat at the table, drank tea and waited for Mrs. Shangguan, she went into the inner room and took out a mahogany box from the wardrobe, took it out and put it on the table.
The wooden box was opened, and it was full of jewelry in excellent condition.
"These are all gifts given to me by Ling'er's grandmother on the day I married into the Shangguan family, these jewelry began to be passed on to our Shangguan family's daughter-in-law more than a hundred years ago, I have kept it for more than 20 years, and now it is time to pass it on to you."
Lu Li looked at the jewelry in the box, one by one should be extremely precious, she never dared to ask for it, and waved her hand again and again.
"Auntie, I can't accept this."
"It's just that you don't accept these, you have to accept this bracelet." Mrs. Shangguan took out a homogeneous emerald green bracelet, took Lu Li's hand, and put the bracelet on her with her own hands, "This is the day I married Ling Er's father, Ling Er's grandmother's hand put it on for me, and now I put it on for you with my own hands, you are a part of our Shangguan family." ”
