After dinner, the family sat in the hall and chatted about family life, father and mother, brothers, friends and brothers, this scene is still a good memory for him to talk about until Lu Jue is older.

Previously, Lu Jue had found various excuses to postpone the marriage several times, although he came according to the appointment this time, he exceeded the wedding date again. So before coming to Hangzhou, he repaired a letter and asked his second brother Lu Tianhua to transfer it to his parents, and now his parents have arrived in Hangzhou, and they are waiting to renegotiate the marriage date of the two.

Glancing at everyone, and then at Zhou Ruoshui sitting beside him, Lu Jue stood up and said, "Previously, Ziyu postponed the marriage several times, which made Shui'er and the second elder criticized!" At noon today, my father and mother and second brother have come to Hangzhou, and they are ready to ask the second lady again with their children, hoping that Master Zhou will give Ziyu another chance. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, took out a red post from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "This is the preliminary plan for Ziyu's marriage proposal, as well as the list of dowry gifts, please see Master Zhou." ”

Zhou Wenfeng glanced at Lu Jue steadily, stretched out his hand to help him up first, then took the post and put it on the table, and asked slightly: "Even if you are at fault, you don't have to be so angry with your parents-in-law, since your parents have arrived, why don't you welcome them into the house." Shui'er is your daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and she should also be served a cup of tea with the second elder! ”

Lu Jue bowed and said, "It's not that the son-in-law is inconsiderate, it's just that the son-in-law has made the father-in-law's family lose face in front of the people of Hangzhou. ”

He thought about it so thoroughly that Zhou Wenfeng didn't know what to say, but just smiled at the son-in-law he chose for his daughter, how he liked it.

Ye Suxin looked at the two sons-in-law, smiled and pushed Zhou Wenfeng's arm and said, "Okay, master, since Ziyu is so sincere, don't let him down." ”

"Yes、、、、、、" But before he could start speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhao and his wife. Only then did a few people realize that the post on the table had reached the hands of the two.

"Look at what, you don't know how to read, I'll read it to you." Saying that, Zhou Zhao snatched the post from Zhu Feifei's hand, lowered his head and took a cursory look.

Zhu Feifei glared at him with a smile, leaned on the table, and said with a smile: "Nian Nian, I want to see what sincerity this kid has!" ”

"I won't read the regular things of the initial decision and dowry, but I will read the following treasures to you." Zhou Zhao glanced back at her with a smile, coughed twice and cleared his throat: "100,000 taels of gold, 2 million taels of silver, two red corals, 20 mink, fox skin, and white tiger skin, 10 pieces of cloud brocade, gold and silver silk brocade, silk silk, and Hunan embroidered cloud yarn, and 20 pieces of carving pigeon blood, red agate, and Hetian jade、、、、、、"

Just reading these already made Zhu Feifei stunned, she looked at Lu Jue with round eyes, and said with a look of adoration: "Don't bully me for not knowing the goods, most of these things are tribute, how did you float here?" I've never seen so many treasures in so many years of stealing, teach me! ”

Before Lu Jue could speak, Zhou Wenfeng spoke first: "I have cooperated with your family for many years about your parents' financial resources, so it's not that I don't know about them. Except for the gold and silver, these few things alone are a million taels, and you have enough money for you to squander it like this! ”

Lu Jue laughed angrily when he heard this reprimand, and said, "Father-in-law doesn't have to doubt that the child has not done anything corrupt and perverted the law. The boy was at home because of illness and the child couldn't go out, and the second brother saw that I was bored and uncomfortable, so he taught me some ways to do business. Although I received these tributes by virtue of my position, I also received them through normal transactions. I just want to give the water what I think is the best! Turning his head, he looked at Zhou Ruoshui tenderly.

And Zhou Ruoshui also looked at him with affection.

Zhu Feifei sat back in his seat, glared at Zhou Zhao angrily, pouted and said, "Look at how big other people's hands are, why was I so stupid in the first place, and I married you without any benefits." ”

Zhou Zhao frowned and said with a smile: "I'm all yours, what's not to be satisfied with!" ”

This sentence caused Zhu Feifei to laugh twice, and he couldn't suppress his tenderness and looked at him.

Early the next morning, the Zhou family got up early in the morning, and after some cleaning, they stood neatly at the door. Not long after, a group of people came to Zhou's house from far and near. The leading carriage was a single-wheeled and simple carriage, followed by a two-wheeled official carriage dedicated to Zhuding Fanxuan, and the entourage on both sides of the carriage was escorted by guards dressed in strong suits and with large swords hanging on their waists. The official carriage was followed by a dozen or so carts full of double-sided pennants, fluttering and displaying a few words of majestic Zhenyuan.

Weiwu Zhenyuan is the prestige of the rivers and lakes, no one knows, it is Lu Jue's eldest brother Lu Tianming, the dart bureau Longwei dart bureau is famous, plus the accompanying officials and soldiers will go up all the way, who dares to provoke.

The Zhou family is famous in Hangzhou and even the entire Jiangnan, even if there is a little movement in Hangzhou, it is earth-shattering, and there are many people at the door of Zhou's house in the morning.

Gradually approaching, the convoy stopped steadily at the gate of Zhou's house, and after the car was parked, the attendants lifted the curtain of the car, and a few people came down from inside, and there were three people in front of the head, these three people were Lu Jue's parents, and then the second brother Lu Tianhua. The three of them parked next to the car, waiting for Lu Jue, who was dressed in official uniforms, to get down from the car, and only then did he step in front of the Zhou family together.

The crowd gathered in front of the Zhou family couldn't help but start to discuss, thinking that this was an official family who came to the door to ask for marriage with the eldest lady of the Zhou family, because no one in the whole Hangzhou knew that this eldest lady of the Zhou family was born with a national color and a heavenly fragrance, and more importantly, she has not married yet.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jue stepped forward and knelt down in his robe, and Lang Lang confessed: "The son-in-law Lu Jue visited his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the child did not understand everything when he first entered the officialdom, so he postponed the marriage with Shui'er several times, so that the second elder and Shui'er caused a lot of criticism. Then he leaned over and knocked on the ground.

How could Zhou Wenfeng not know what this meant, so he was very cooperative: "What is the sin of the child, get up quickly!" He bent over and helped Lu Jue up.

After thanking him, Lu Jue turned around and took a tray covered with red forged cloth from Liu Fuling's hand, walked up to Zhou Ruoshui and lifted it up, unfolding it in front of everyone. Under the forging cloth is a delicate phoenix crown, this phoenix crown is a layer of pearls and jade rings, the phoenix is carved in pure gold, the phoenix tail is the East China Sea pearl beads strung together, each embellishment plus the phoenix mouth pendant, counting a total of ninety-nine, taking the meaning of auspiciousness is a long time.

is so sincere, but jealousy is red-eyed.

After a few polite exchanges between the parents of both sides, everyone was invited into Zhou's house, leaving Liu Fuling alone to direct everyone to carry the dowry. Standing on the steps, he commanded the people in a loud voice: "Carry everything into the house, be careful that it is all valuable." ”

The soldiers responded, and they moved and carried them, and the dowry of the cart was also taken down, and there were dozens of boxes in total. This is nothing, what is even more surprising is that the big red sedan chair that was finally lifted down is a few feet high, this sedan chair is a gold paint point on the red lacquer, the red is rich and auspicious, and the gold can show luxury. Looking at the sedan door again, it is not a wooden door carving, but a string of pearls and jades with layers of veils, looking at the hazy and faint inside. Then look at the top of the sedan chair layer by layer to the top, the carving is embedded with the Goddess of Mercy to send the auspicious Bodhisattva, and then there is wishful thinking to ward off evil beasts, and there is the Fu Lu Shou three-star four-corner sitting, and finally it is not said that the red gold phoenix on the top of the sedan chair is bright and bright, golden and can, even if there are eyes that do not know the gold inlaid jade, the light of the sixteen lifts also know that it is a royal object.

Although everyone heard that the second son-in-law of the Zhou family was an official family, people with knowledge knew that even if it was a good order, the highest number of people had to carry a sedan chair of eight people.

This is also the result that Lu Jue wants, thinking that the repeated postponement of the marriage date has made Zhou Ruoshui criticized, and his move is to prove his name, her husband is not only alive, not only is she not Kefu, there are still good days waiting for her, and her husband will definitely treat her like a jewel.

After a grand welcome, Lu Jue's parents were introduced into the main hall, and although the four elders did not talk for a long time in the hall, there were still necessary sighs. After that, Lu Jue's parents were arranged in the east wing where the VIPs lived, and after the two rested for a day, they agreed on the specific marriage date of the two the next day.

After obtaining the permission of his parents, Zhou Ruoshui went to the East Chamber with Lu Jue to meet his in-laws.

Although Zhou Ruoning was grounded, it inevitably made people laugh, and she was naturally in the team that greeted her, and naturally she did not miss the enviable scene. The boxes of lucrative dowries; The luxurious and magnificent saffron sedan chair, which should have belonged to her, has become someone else's thing at this time. The unfairness of everything made her eyes red, especially when she saw Lu Mu Ruan's praise for Zhou Ruoshui, that sentence was particularly harsh, so that she couldn't calm her anger.

finally endured the guest disperse, so he went to the garden alone to scatter the fire. But as soon as I stepped into the garden, I met the person I didn't want to see the most! It was difficult to suppress the fire in his heart, so he immediately decided to sprinkle fire on her. After teaching Zhou Ruoshui a lesson a few days ago, she was still worried that she would be scolded, but no one came to the door after a day, so she was even more fearless, raised her chin, lifted her skirt and walked towards the comer. Maybe overconfidence; Perhaps carried away by the rage, he didn't even notice the two standing not far away.

Since Lu Jue began to work in Dali Temple three years ago, he has been entangled in official business. Except for the fact that you can go home to visit relatives during the New Year's holidays, or your family can visit Beijing to reunite with your family, the number of times your relatives see each other is pitiful. Lu Jue rarely went out when he was a child, and since he was a child, he had the best relationship with this second brother who was enough to be his father. Although Lu Tianhua was accompanied and taken care of in Beijing, there were very few opportunities to meet due to busy business, so at such a leisurely moment, coupled with the fact that he had relatives by his side and had always been highly nervous, he also relaxed his vigilance at this time and let Zhou Ruoshui go alone.

Just when the two were talking happily, Lu Jue saw Zhou Ruoning's figure at a glance. In today's situation, she knew that she would definitely be angry with Zhou Ruoshui, so she hurriedly complained to the second brother and walked over quickly, at the moment when Zhou Ruoning raised his hand, Lu Jue stopped it in time, and with the other hand, he pulled Zhou Ruoshui behind him and protected him.

Before anyone hit and was grabbed by Lu Jue so much, Zhou Ruoning was ashamed and annoyed, but his anger became even stronger, and he said angrily: "Men and women don't kiss, Lu Jue, you are so uncourteous and grasp me, let me see people, let go!" ”

Lu Jue didn't let go because of these two threats, he frowned angrily, threatened and reminded you a little: "I remind you for the last time that Shui'er is my Lu Jue's wife, and she is the wife who is being married to Ming Media, a second-class member of the dynasty, and she is ordered to do so." If you dare to be presumptuous again, this seat will put you in prison according to the law, and let you taste the taste of the whip! With that, he lowered her hand heavily.

This is Zhou's own home, and Zhou Ruoning didn't listen to this sentence at all because no one held him accountable for the lesson a few days ago. She raised her chin and said fearlessly: "You dare! ”

Seeing that she didn't listen at all, Lu Jue sneered, leaned forward slightly with his hands behind his back, and looked at her coldly: "I want to give it a try!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ruoning shuddered, and her body couldn't help trembling, she clasped her hands tightly together, trying to control her trembling hands. I wanted to refute it, but somehow my brain didn't listen to me at all, and I didn't know how to say it.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ruoshui didn't want things to get out of hand, so he hurriedly walked over and put him on Lu Jue's arm, and gently pushed and said, "Liulang, don't worry about my sister." Dad and Mom are still waiting for us, let's go quickly! Don't keep them waiting. ”

Lu Jue, who was still fierce just now, looked gentle and full of tenderness in a blink of an eye, raised his hand and gently patted Zhou Ruoshui's hand on his arm, his eyes were full of smiles and said softly: "Okay, let's go." He took him by the hand, and the two walked side by side.

Zhou Ruoning looked at Lu Jue, who was full of tenderness for Zhou Ruoshui, and the anger that had been suppressed by panic rushed to the top of his head again. also threw Lu Jue's warning out of the clouds, and after the two walked past him, he turned around suddenly, stared at the backs of the two with round eyes, and said angrily: "Zhou Ruoshui, do you really think you have won?" You're happy too early, who has the last laugh and doesn't know? What is his identity for so many years, I don't think you don't know! The world is as black as a crow, and all men are people who see things differently, like the new and hate the old, you are really sure to keep him! There are so many beautiful women in the capital that you can't guard against it. Then you will be forgotten by him like he did for five years! Even if you are high, what about you, you will only stay alone in the empty room and will not die well! ”

Her words made Zhou Ruoshui's body tremble, and even the steps he took stopped there. Oh, yes! Not to mention the wealthy nobles, even if it is a wealthy family, which one is not three wives and four concubines, whether they are reluctant or not, they have to share their husbands with other women. Zhou Ruoshui knows very well in his heart that it is easy to grow old, and how can he keep people for a lifetime by relying on his appearance alone. She is accustomed to waiting; Accustomed to giving up, but afraid of losing, especially in the face of such a good man! She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her heart was a mess and she didn't know what to do, and she froze there!
