Chapter 582: Marriage
As soon as Bu Shuyuan heard that it was to agree on the matter between her and Lu Zhiyang, it was not easy to pull Lu Zhiyang's clothes anymore, but then she had some doubts, although she didn't have much to do with Qin Niang, but in the past few days, she has also inquired about Qin Niang's style of doing things.
She didn't think that Qin Niang would be the kind of person who was easy to loosen her mouth, otherwise, if she took Gu Chen's token to the Gu Mansion to find her that day, she would not have sent her directly to the Gu family's old mansion.
However, the other party's words have been said to this, and there are so many people here watching, if she continues to entangle, I am afraid that it will backfire, so she had to nod her head and said: "Then, I will leave first." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Lu Zhiyang with reluctance, in addition to Lu Zhiyang's family background, his appearance is also excellent, and whether it is cultivation or temperament, it is very consistent with her mate selection conditions.
After Bu Shuyuan left, Lu Zhiyang breathed a long sigh of relief, he looked at Qin Niang, and said with a grateful face: "Cousin, it's good that you're here, otherwise, I don't know how to send that girl." ”
Qin Niang glanced at him calmly and said, "Let's go first." ”
With so many people watching, it's hard for them to stand outside the door and talk all the time.
Lu Zhiyang nodded, and led their master and servant into the house through the side door, and he asked while walking in front, "Why did my cousin go through the side door?" ”
Qin Niang said: "The gate is too eye-catching, your rumors are almost flying all over the sky in the past two days, if I run to the Lu family against the wind, won't everyone know about it?" ”
After all, the latter solution involves the cooperation of the prince, if she comes to the Lu Mansion on the front foot, the prince on the back foot will order Lu Zhiyang to send firearms, and those major eyeliners in the capital can instantly link her with the prince.
Although the emperor's health is getting weaker and the prince's power is increasing little by little, she still doesn't want to cause unnecessary associations among others, feeling that the Gu family has already colluded with the prince.
"By the way, what the hell are you doing with that Bu Shuyuan?" Qin Niang asked.
She has been really busy in the past two days, and she is bent on adding more firearms to various places at the border gates, so she hurries to draw drawings day and night, and she has no time to ask for clarification in person for a while.
"I think I've been tricked." Lu Zhiyang is seventeen years old this year, and he was originally waiting for the next year's Kaienke to show his strength, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, "That day, Cai Yongxu asked a few of us to go out of the city to hunt together, and I don't know who proposed to make an appointment with the new girl from the Gu family, saying that the girl was very interesting, so he called her, who knows......"
Qin Niang also heard about the rest of the matter.
Qin Niang frowned and asked, "Did someone propose to let Bu Shuyuan go with you?" If you think about it, who suggested that she go. ”
Lu Zhiyang tightened his brows, and didn't think about it for a long time: "There were a lot of people that day, everyone was gossiping in one place, I don't remember who it was for a while, I only know that after we got together, someone proposed to temporarily add the cloth girl, and then we went to the forest outside the city together, where there has always been no hunters, so we think there should be game to hunt, but I didn't expect that there was a trap." ”
Moreover, he and Bu Shuyuan fell into it.
Later, after the Gu family and the Lu family found them, he carefully walked around the forest and found that there was only the pit they fell into, and it seemed to be freshly dug.
In other words, the pit was dug specifically for him to jump.
"Cousin, what is the identity of this cloth girl, and why does she live in the Gu family?" Lu Zhiyang is really full of questions at the moment, he thinks the same as his grandfather, if this girl's background is not clear, then the Lu family must not marry her into the door, he knew early on that Qin Niang had a lot of ideas, and he originally wanted to discuss with her at the first time, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
Although he is not as weak as the crown, he is no longer at the age when men and women can sit at the same table, and now that Gu Chen is not in Beijing, he rashly went to Gu's house to find a woman in Gu's house, and it is inevitable that he will be truthful.
"Is my grandfather in the house?" Qin Niang didn't answer him directly, but asked another question.
"Grandfather hasn't left the office yet, do you want to come with my grandmother or my mother?" Lu Zhiyang asked.
Qin Niang thought for a while and said, "It's still not necessary, you send someone to send a letter to your grandfather and ask him to sneak back." ”
Recently, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been busy, in order to fully support the battles in various parts of the border passes, in addition to the six departments, the rest of the officials are also busy with their feet on the ground, especially after the previous party-forming parties were cleared, the imperial court did not fill the vacancy, although it can still operate, but now everything is crowded together, everyone is eager to break one into two to use.
Even Old Man Lu is a lot busy, and it is said that before Lu Zhiyang's matter came out, he often stayed in the yamen.
"Then my cousin will go to the front hall for tea first, and I will send someone to invite my grandfather." Lu Zhiyang also knew what those women in the family were like, and he also understood the reason why Qin Niang was reluctant to discuss with them, so he didn't refute it, and directly sent his entourage to the yamen to find Old Man Lu.
After Old Man Lu received the news, he rushed back almost non-stop, and as soon as he stepped into the living room, he asked anxiously: "Qin'er is here for Yang'er's business?" ”
Qin Niang nodded, hurriedly got up and saluted him, Old Man Lu waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk about business directly, those false courtesies will be waived." ”
After that, he directly took off his robe and sat in the top position, and the little servant immediately served him tea, and then withdrew.
There were only three people in the house: the ancestors of the Lu family and Qin Niang.
"Grandfather, I'll make a long story short, the matter of the eldest cousin is really weird, I think he was calculated, but I can tell you that the cloth girl is now unknown, the purpose of coming to the capital is unknown, she said that her family is dead, and she came to join her family, this word also needs to be verified, in short, this woman can't marry into the door."
Old man Lu nodded, he received a letter from his eldest daughter yesterday, and simply told him the origin of this Bu Shuyuan, and he also felt that it was inappropriate to marry such a woman to enter the door.
Not to mention her identity, just talk about Lu Zhiyang's falling into the trap, if it was really planned by her, then this woman is inevitably too scheming and means, once she marries in the future, her family will be restless.
The Lu family picked the wrong person when they married their eldest daughter-in-law, and now the grandchildren can't go wrong anymore, otherwise, their Lu family will really be finished.
Not to mention it far away, as far as he goes, he is not a trouble-free master.
"Grandfather, I have just explained to the fourth princess, let her enter the palace to talk to the prince, go back and wait for my batch of firearms to come out, let the eldest cousin be responsible for escorting to the north to the prince of Zhenbei, as for that Bu Shuyuan, you might as well use a delaying tactic first, and allow her a verbal marriage contract, after all, the eldest cousin is still in danger of going, if she wants to wait, let her wait." As for when they will get married, it is not up to their Lu family to decide.
When Old Man Lu heard this, his eyes deepened, and he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Qin Niang's proposal is undoubtedly the best at present, but after all, Lu Zhiyang is the eldest grandson he carefully taught, and he will take over the burden of the family in the future, if he is allowed to go to the border pass, if something happens, then what will the Lu family do in the future?
Although the old man Lu is proud of his talent and has been high all his life, he also knows that the second generation of the Lu family is not a piece of reading material, and he has no talent in officialdom, and the third generation can only handle it is only a Lu Zhiyang, if he has a good one, the Lu family will really be finished in the future.
Qin Niang also saw what Old Man Lu was worried about, so she spoke again: "Grandfather, I know that you are not worried about your eldest cousin, but it is precisely because he has to take on the future of the entire Lu family in the future that he can't always live under the protection of his grandfather, but don't worry, Gu Chen still has some elites left in Beijing, and when the time comes, I will send a few good men to follow him, and it should be fine." ”
Besides, it's just to send a weapon, and I don't want him to go to war, what can I do.
Qin Niang didn't say any more about the rest of the words, she knew that Old Man Lu was a person who could carry it clearly.
"Grandfather, I want to go through it too." Lu Zhiyang said slowly.
Old Man Lu still didn't speak, and the whole hall was extremely quiet for a moment.
Qin Niang and Lu Zhiyang didn't speak again, quietly waiting for Old Man Lu's decision.
Suddenly, Old Man Lu seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at her with firm eyes and said, "Then it's done, as for the cloth girl......"
"Grandfather, you might as well discuss it with Old Man Gu tomorrow, in the final analysis, this involves the affairs of the two families." Qin Niang said slowly.
Old Man Lu nodded, although Old Man Gu ignored the government and went to the academy to teach early, but he and Old Man Gu can be regarded as old colleagues, and they can also say a few words on weekdays, and now for the sake of the juniors, he will go to him with a thick face to discuss and discuss.
Qin Niang stayed in the Lu family for less than half an hour, then got up and said goodbye, before leaving, she specially went to Mrs. Lu's yard to ask for peace, Mrs. Lu was obviously also very concerned about Bu Shuyuan's problem, and wanted to get something out of Qin Niang's mouth, after all, if Bu Shuyuan was really a child of the Gu family, then it would not be a bad thing to marry into the door.
Qin Niang knew that Mrs. Lu had a narrow vision, and she would never reach a consensus with her in this regard, and it would be useless to say too much, so she only said that Old Man Lu would deal with this matter, so that she didn't have to worry.
Mrs. Lu was naturally very unhappy in her heart, and even when Qin Niang left, she didn't give a smile, and she didn't even let people send her off.
However, Mrs. Lu has always liked the cousins of the Zheng family, and she doesn't like her too much, so she doesn't care much about Mrs. Lu's attitude, but after a routine greeting, she patted her ass and left.
It's just that she didn't expect her front foot to go out of the door of the Lu family, and her back foot touched Bu Shuyuan, who had been guarding outside.
Obviously, this girl was waiting for her here.
