Chapter 203: Asking to marry Lu Jingzhu
Ling Chan looked back and smiled when she heard this, "Naturally, it can't compare to our Dayu." ”
In the dormitory behind him, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walked out, dressed in emerald green clothes, and her appearance was a few points worse than Ling Chan, but the two seemed to be a little similar between their eyebrows and eyes.
"That emperor is disgusting too," the little girl snorted coldly.
Ling Chan smiled again, "Silly sister, who in this place is not disgusting?" ”
The little girl seemed to feel very reasonable when she heard Ling Chan's words, and nodded and said, "Then when will we go back?" ”
Ling Chan's originally smiling face suddenly sank, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before, but a little indifferent, "If this matter is not handled well, we don't have to go back." ”
The little girl seemed to be a little puzzled when she heard this, "But Sister, aren't we going back to see Your Highness?" ”
A trace of frustration flashed in Ling Chan's eyes, "If this matter doesn't work out, what kind of face do you have to see him." ”
For some reason, at the mention of His Royal Highness, Ling Chan suddenly became a little sad.
The little girl sensed her sister's emotions, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to say: "Don't worry, when I have nothing to do, I will go to the palace to take a look, and I can inquire about it." ”
Ling Chan smiled again at this time, raised her hand and stroked the little girl's hair, "Ah Yu, there are no good people in this palace, you have to be careful." ”
The little girl smiled, "Ling Yu knows." ”
"Does Your Highness have a reply?" Ling Chan seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked.
Ling Yu said: "His Royal Highness's letter has to be spread outside the palace, and then let our people send it in, if there is a reply, it should be able to be sent to the palace in the next two days, Sister and wait." ”
Ling Chan nodded, and suddenly sighed.
She didn't want to come, but she had to come.
I don't know if he is doing well over there, whether he knows how to add clothes when it's cold, and whether he knows how to light candles when it's dark.
She also remembered that when she first met, he was reading at night, and he didn't hold the lamp beside him, but used the pearl of the night.
Although the night pearl is bright, it is not transparent.
Under the pearl of the night, his face was so delicate, even better than a woman.
Later, he said that the pearl of the night was like the bright moon, and she was as beautiful as the bright moon, immature and lovely, so he called her Lingchan.
This name was chosen for her by him, but now, he is called by another person every day.
No wonder, Ling Yu felt nauseous. Why not?
In the evening, Steward Zhao suddenly came and said that Lu Bingyan had set up a family banquet in Linjiang Building, and tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was lively outside the family.
It just so happens that there will be a lantern festival tonight, and it will also make a few young ladies in the house happy.
Lu Guanlan heard this, but he didn't find it interesting, waved his hand and said yes, then turned his head and ignored Steward Zhao.
Steward Zhao saw that Lu Guanlan looked like this, and it was not good to stay and wait for a reward, so he had to leave in a gloomy manner.
Seeing that Steward Zhao was gone, Ah Li couldn't help but say: "Steward Zhao is really now, he hasn't done two things, and he has taken a lot of silver from us." ”
Lu Guanlan saw that his budget-conscious housekeeper began to complain again, and couldn't help but smile, "It's better to let Chu Yu ······ him."
As he spoke, he wiped his neck with his hand and face.
Seeing this, Ah Li couldn't help but laugh, "Miss, you! ”
Chu Yu had just come in from outside at this time, and when he saw that the two of them were joking again, he asked what was wrong.
Ah Li said, "Let's go out to shop for lanterns tonight, can you go?" ”
Chu Yu said: "What is the good thing about the lanterns you have here, it is better for us Dayu, every time it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a parade on the street." ”
"Parade?" Ah Li suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked Chu Yu what the march was.
The first words talked about Dayu's Mid-Autumn Festival parade.
There was a legend in Dayu, saying that the ancient goddess was the monarch of Dayu in the past, and then died unfortunately in order to save the people. In order to commemorate this goddess, the people of Dayu will find a saint to pretend to be a goddess at the annual festival and parade with the floats on the street.
Hearing this, Lu Guanlan felt a little strange, "The annual festival? No matter what the festival, you have this parade of floats? ”
Chu Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Except for Qingming." ”
Ah Li smiled and said: "In this way, there are no new tricks every year, so what's the point of seeing?" It's better that the lanterns we have here are different from year to year. ”
Chu Yu was not happy when he heard this, and hurriedly retorted: "But that saint is different! All of them are as beautiful as flowers! ”
Listening to the childlike noise of the two, Lu Guanlan suddenly thought of the saint girl that Chu Yu had just said.
Then he asked, "How did the holy woman you are talking about come about?" ”
Chu Yu explained, "We will elect a saint every three years, that is, for the annual procession, this saint is by each family to paint the appearance of the woman into a picture, sent to the palace for selection." It is the most beautiful girl who can become a saint. ”
Lu Guanlan nodded, understanding a lot, "In this way, if you don't want your own girl to be a saint, you don't need to hand in the painting?" ”
Chu Yu shook his head, "No, in every family, as long as the women in the family are married and not married, they all have to hand in the painting on the day of this selection." ”
"What's the good of being a saint?" Lu Guanlan suddenly asked.
"The good is naturally admired by all the people, and no one dares to be disrespectful to the saint," Chu said.
"That'······ The downside? Ali also asked.
Chu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then his tone became a little lighter, "I will not marry for life." ”
Lu Guanlan just asked about the so-called benefits, but he just said it casually, but when he heard Chu Yu talk about this disadvantage, his face was a little unpleasant, and he was a little strange.
"In this way, there is nothing wrong with being this holy woman," Lu Guanlan said.
Chu Yu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Guanlan, "But not all women in this world want to marry······" Halfway through the words, he paused.
Lu Guanlan knew what Chu Yu thought, so he said: "It's not that women want to get married, it's just that when they meet the person they want in their hearts, they think that they can spend the rest of their lives with this person." But if you don't meet them, no one will want to marry someone you don't love. In the final analysis, it's just that it's all involuntarily, and the matchmaker's words are just the life of her parents. If a woman can make decisions for herself, you see, there are a few people in this world who are born and want to marry. ”
Chu Yu heard this, but for some reason, his heart suddenly opened up.
"In the past, I pitied those holy women, but when I hear you say this today, I feel that these holy women may not all be the poor people."
Lu Guanlan smiled lightly, "Then the kind of people we want to marry at the beginning?" ”
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, "The slave doesn't have a favorite yet." ”
Lu Guanlan smiled and asked again: "Then if your holy daughter has someone she likes, she also needs to never marry for the rest of her life?" Can't you ask your emperor for a decree? ”
Hatsuyu shook his head, "No." ”
Lu Guanlan frowned, "In this way, it is still unfair to these women, can't your emperor of Dayu be the master of this?" ”
Chu Yu said: "Actually, they can also get married, but ······ can only marry the Son of Heaven. ”
Lu Guanlan sneered when he heard this, and shook his head, "Where is this selection of saints, it is clearly for your emperor to choose a concubine." ”
Chu Yu listened to it but did not refute it, but remembered something, and said: "When it comes to it like this, the slave really remembers that Concubine Rong was a saint in the past." ”
Lu Guanlan raised his eyebrows, "No wonder I heard you say that your concubine Rong is unbelievably beautiful." Have you ever seen that? ”
Chu Yu shook his head, "The slave maid entered the palace after Concubine Rong's death. ”
Lu Guanlan didn't ask anything, raised his eyes to see that it was not early, so he asked Ah Li to change his clothes and leave the house early.
Concubine Li had just returned to Changle Palace, but saw that her son was also there.
"You don't go to accompany your father to deal with government affairs, what are you doing here?" Concubine Li asked.
Her son had never been in the habit of greeting her, so she knew that this son must not have come to greet her.
Sure enough, I heard that Cheng Hao seemed to be a little speechless, and said, "Erchen······ Erchen thought about it, and couldn't sleep at night, it was really ······ I really want to ask my mother to be the master of my sons. ”
Seeing her son like this, Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, and then her face sank, "Say, what kind of girl is it?" ”
Although his son is not a womanizer, he somehow loves to go to the place of the fireworks, and when he comes back, he will tell her how good the girl is, how pitiful his life is, and how much he wants to be a concubine.
Every time she hears this, she just doesn't know.
Where is the reason why the prince has a woman in Qinglou as a concubine, besides, Cheng Hao has never even had a concubine, so how dare he take a concubine first.
If you learn that Cheng Hao has done something, where is there a girl from a good family in Beijing who is willing to marry him.
So, this time, she thought it was the same as before, and she just asked casually, thinking about it and perfunctory.
But I heard Cheng Hao say: "The mother concubine misunderstood, it's not a girl from a building, it's a ······."
Seeing her son's stumbling appearance, Concubine Li was a little impatient, so she simply sat down and asked again: "It's not from which building, is it still from the workshop?" ”
Cheng Hao shook his head, and then said, "Yes······ It's the Lu family. ”
"The Lu family?" Concubine Li's eyes widened slightly.
Why is this Lu family again? It shouldn't be Lu Guanlan, right?
He hurriedly asked, "The Lu family?" Which Lu family? ”
Cheng Hao saw that Concubine Li was not immediately annoyed, so he thought there was a play, and hurriedly replied: "It is the Lu family of Lu Bingyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”
Concubine Li suddenly gasped. How the Lu family is really involved with this heavenly family is really unclear, but thinking of Lu Guanlan's words of phoenix fate, she can still accept it.
Then he asked, "But what about the eldest lady of the Lu family?" ”
Although she doesn't look down on the Lu family very much, and she doesn't look down on Lu Guanlan's disfigured appearance, she is still a decent concubine in the end, and this Lu Bingyan is also highly valued by the emperor, plus Lu Guanlan's phoenix life.
Rao is disgusted with his son in the future, as long as he ascends to the big treasure, he can't marry a few more if he wants to, and he won't have to face Lu Guanlan's ghostly appearance every day.
Concubine Li was thinking happily, but she heard her son speak: "No, it's the second lady of the Lu family, Lu Jingzhu." ”
