Wealth and glory are not enough
Sure enough, within three days, the scandal of the Rong family spread all over the streets and alleys, and there were disputes in the court, Lu Yan and Mo Lao's business in the capital in the past few months was not without effect, at least some of the forces, they even took advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, forced by the pressure of the Empress Dowager Rong herself is also difficult to protect, after this battle has greatly weakened the power of the Rong family, at least in a short period of time, it will not be able to turn over the storm.
The situation that seems to be calm is actually even more treacherous, if the Lu family wants to regain the world, it is wise to pursue it with victory, and it is wise to defeat it in one fell swoop, and when the Rong family comes back, it is meaningless to return to the starting point.
I don't know why I'm always worried that my cheap dad will get involved, so I've been staying at home lately, mainly to keep an eye on them.
Finally, half a month later, the capital has changed, and the emperor announced: The empress dowager will go to the Guanyin Temple to recuperate physically and mentally due to physical discomfort.
Another blockbuster news, the emperor welcomed Uncle Lu and Aunt Yi back to the palace, and now he is too emperor, just lie down comfortably after retirement, Lu Yan has become a prince, the hottest diamond king in the capital Lao Wu "Rui Wangye", for a time the palace banquets were frequent, and the new nobles brought their ladies into the palace to show their faces, these news do not need to be inquired, they all know, Chang'e's secret business has been booming recently, are these daughters who want to enter the palace to show their faces, all kinds of beauty care projects, weight loss and shaping packages.
The Lu family has today, I am happy for them, I have endured it for so many years, and finally I can see the moon, but the relationship between our Tian family and the Lu family has suddenly become two parallel lines, how can we get into the palace courtyard wall? Even if you want to say blessings, you can't achieve it, and you're still a little disappointed, but it's okay to be like this, with you like a tiger, our family does small business, and it is good to eat and drink without worrying for a lifetime, that kind of place is really not suitable for us.
The matter between me and Lu Yan, my sister is the clearest, the abnormality of this time, my sister also knows, but I am afraid that I will be upset so I don't want to mention it, but every time I see those noble ladies dressed up in flowers, I let me go upstairs to rest, although I repeatedly told her that I am nothing, Lu Yan and I have made it clear, but in the eyes of my sister, I am holding on.
…………………………………………………………………………………
On this day, our Tian family held an internal meeting, which was nothing more than to talk about their thoughts on future planning.
"Dad, mother, you all know about my sister and Brother Liu, I think it's time to put their affairs on the agenda?"
Hearing me mention this, my sister immediately blushed and looked at me angrily.
Seeing this, Daddy immediately continued: "Ding'er is right, Rui'er, don't be ashamed, your affairs really can't be delayed any longer, that kid from Liu Yuan, I look good, it's a duty, treat you well, go back and talk to him."
Niang also nodded again and again on the side, in their eyes Liu Yuan is an inspirational character representative, especially Niang, who has long regarded Liu Yuan as her son-in-law, and is enthusiastic about him.
When my sister saw that her father and mother had said it, she was shy and nervous, and she didn't know how to swing her two little hands, so it took a while to muster up the courage to say: "Daughter, but it is up to her father and mother to decide"
"Oh~~" The door was knocked open, Liu Yuan fell straight into the room, and there were two girlish laughs outside the door. Don't guess, it must be a good thing done by Zhubei and Sakura.
Liu Yuan stood up awkwardly, bent down to his father and mother, and saluted, "It's rude, uncle and aunt forgive me" After speaking, he smiled at his sister innocently, and my sister couldn't raise her head in shame, and even the roots of her ears were red.
My mother got up and helped Liu Yuan up and asked him to sit down, I got up and came to the door, glared at the two stinky girls, "The Tian family's internal meeting, outsiders don't disturb" After speaking, the door was closed again.
Hearing me say that the Tian family's internal meeting, Liu Yuan snickered, this silly and simple character, my father and mother looked satisfied, it was really a strange taste, couldn't Liu Yuan behave normally?
"Virtuous nephew, you must have heard what Fang Cai said, my family Rui'er is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, we want to marry her to you, are you willing?"
Although he heard such a meaning at the door, when Tian's father asked, Liu Yuan was still surprised, and the whole person was stunned, like countless fireworks exploded in his brain, but he didn't dare to be happy for too long, afraid that Tian's father would change his mind, so he immediately knelt down with excitement and kowtowed to the second elder.
This operation was as fierce as a tiger, and our family was stunned, my father and I were stunned by his stupidity, laughing without an image, and my sister couldn't help it, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing softly, or my mother felt sorry for her son-in-law, and was busy helping him up.
Liu Yuan knocked violently, this will be a little dizzy, he held his head, standing staggering, his sister was worried that he would fall, instinctively stepped forward to help, Liu Yuan grabbed his sister with his backhand, and took his sister to kneel in front of his father and mother again.
"Thanks to my uncle and aunt for not giving up, I am willing to marry Rui'er to me, being able to marry Rui'er is the blessing I cultivated in my previous life, I will definitely love her with my life, and I will not let her suffer a trace of grievances, and I will also regard the second elder as my biological parents in the future, filial piety to you, take care of you, heaven and earth as evidence, if Liu Yuan violates this oath, the sky will thunder and split~ Broken bones" Liu Yuan raised his hand and swore with sincerity in his eyes.
"What is this kid doing with such a ruthless oath? We believe in you," the mother looked at Liu Yuan with satisfaction.
My sister was full of tears, looked at my father, and then looked at the man next to me, broke into laughter, and fell into my mother's arms, which made my mother cry, I noticed that my nose was sour, I took two breaths and pressed down, and I was happy for my sister, she finally found the person in her life, she will be happy.
The father and mother helped the two of them up, looked at them with satisfaction, and saw that they were embarrassed, and finally recovered their usual faces, and their faces turned red again.
"Daddy, Lu Yan once told me that he would help our Tian family rehabilitate, but now I don't know if it can be done, once it is not rehabilitated, our Tian family will still not see the light, and the marriage between my sister and Brother Liu can only be aggrieved."
"We are not wronged, Xiaolian and I can have today thanks to Ding'er and Rui'er, if it weren't for you, my sister and I would only be able to survive even if we were lucky, now Xiaolian has found Ruyi Langjun, I am even more accompanied by Rui'er, I have nothing to ask for, I just hope Rui'er will not dislike me for being just a businessman full of copper smell" Liu Yuan looked at his sister, and his sister also smiled at him and shook her head, Liu Yuan's words came from the bottom of her heart, and she was a grateful Jean.
Father and mother are very relieved to see this, how important is power and wealth? When the disaster came, it was gone in an instant, and the Rong family was the best example.
I see that the atmosphere is too sensational at the moment, and everyone can't help but feel a little sentimental, not used to this feeling, so I joked about Liu Yuan.
"It's full of copper smell, I don't like this word, now my father is not a general, our Tian family is also a businessman, how can we look down on ourselves? Where do you have enough food and clothing without money, and the culture that doesn't have money makes you learn these words that slander us? I rolled my eyes, clasped my hands on my chest, and looked at Liu Yuan with a displeased expression.
My joke successfully amused my father, and Liu Yuan also smiled and apologized: "Yes, what my sister-in-law taught me is", after saying that, my sister feigned anger and ignored Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan had to coax her.
After my sister's business was settled, I told me about my plan, and my father was very excited when he heard it.
"I knew that Qi Yun's kid didn't have a good heart, and he fell in love with my little Ding'er when he was in the cottage, this king and eight lambs ......"
The mother pulled her father and signaled that the new son-in-law had just been ordered, and she was scared away by yelling so loudly.
I was speechless, there was really no one at that time in the cottage, even if there were, it was just Qi Yun's own affection, but I was a little bit like that later.
"In my opinion, Qi Yun is a good child, although he doesn't like to talk, but he looks like an honest child, to be honest, Ding Er and Rui Wang Ye got close before, I still don't feel at ease" Mother patiently does my father's ideological work, I am surprised, I didn't expect my mother to recognize Qi Yun, but she doesn't like to talk? Honest? Is this Qi Yun?
"Well, that's right, I don't want Ding Er to marry into that high-walled deep courtyard, I won't see each other a few times a year, and I have to compete with other noble daughters for a man, my daughter is the best, so I don't allow those stinky boys to pick and choose, three wives and four concubines" Dad said up, and patted the table excitedly. Then he remembered something, and he was excited, "I haven't seen that old thing with Qi Jue for many years, or it's not a good thing to come in pairs, I'll go to Qicheng tomorrow and settle Ding'er's affairs" Dad looked at his mother with a look of praise.
The mother gave him a big look and said, "Rui'er has just been ordered, and you are going to marry Ding'er here?" Ding Er hasn't even finished yet."
Daddy suddenly woke up, "Yes, my family is still young, and he will be with us for a few more years."
What are they? I just talked about me and Qi Yun in Meishan, and by the way, I wanted to follow him to the rivers and lakes to do something and enrich the after-dinner life of the people of Dazhao, why did the second elder arrange the marriage between me and Qi Yun? We haven't talked about this sweet love yet.
My sister and Liu Yuan's marriage was set, I originally wanted to buy a house for the Tian family again, so that my father and mother could settle down completely, and now the Lu family has stabilized the world, even if I didn't help the Tian family rehabilitate, but it won't be difficult to get along with us, it is estimated that it will pass with one eye closed, but Tan Fang suggested that I use Liu Yuan's name to buy a house, I thought about it, anyway, they are all a family, and my father and mother are not poor and sophisticated people, and they live in their son-in-law's house, so they don't care what gossip he has.
Tan Fang is a lonely and widowed old man, Zhengyuan Pavilion has been living in the pavilion since its establishment, this time asked him to find a house, he was stunned to buy the house next door to Zhengyuan Pavilion, and his yard is separated by a wall, and then it is even more shameless, without our permission directly opened, built a magnificent arch, and asked me to help with the inscription, it is really a living treasure, but I am actually quite happy.
My sister's wedding date is scheduled for the third day of December, and it is another winter, and I will be sixteen after this year.
Naturally, I can't miss my sister's wedding, these days I and Zhubei, Sakura are busy with my sister's wedding dress and dowry, although low-key, but my sister deserves the best, my goal is to create low-key luxury.
The material used by my sister to make the wedding dress is made of the spirit silk that Sakura returned to Meishan to marry, which fluctuates in the sunlight, and is even more soft and comfortable to touch, which is indeed a rare treasure.
Of course, Sakura went back this time, and I also prepared a lot of gifts for Aunt Mei Chen, all kinds of skin care products and the pill baby of Zhengyuan Pavilion, whether you use it or not, it is always a thought, as for Master Huiwu, I have to thank me even more, not long ago I found a baby in Zhengyuan Pavilion, Tan Fang said that it is a bone taken from the body of a fish, the bone is very special and tough and transparent, I thought of Huiwu the moment I saw it, and immediately found a master to grind two convex lenses, and let the craftsmen of Zhengyuan Pavilion make a frame with wire, A pair of unparalleled reading glasses is completed, and with its wisdom and enlightenment, life is much more convenient, I originally wanted to wait for him to go to him, to be a good person who flies, but in the end it is still a good girl with a soft heart, I can't bear to torture him more, so I sent it as soon as possible, and by the way, I also brought a few more bottles of wine.
Eight Treasures Pawnshop:
"Is your shopkeeper there?" The pawnshop's window was so high that I barely reached the window while standing.
"When things are brought up, our shopkeeper is not what you want to see," the guy in the store glanced at me impatiently.
Ouch hey, are the guys of the Qi family so arrogant?
I tapped my fingers on the counter, and my tone became serious: "Call your shopkeeper to come, you can't do what I should do"
Hearing this, the guy laughed mockingly, "Heh, what kind of treasure did you take, I can't do it yet, take it out and I'll take a look." ”
I took out the seal and handed it to him.
"What a good thing I said, it's just a lump of gold, it's much more expensive than this gold in our pawnshop" The guy pouted his head disdainfully, picked up his fingernails, and just didn't bird me.
Am I special? As long as the old lady nodded, it was the young grandmother of this eight-treasure pawnshop, and she was actually despised by a guy today?
"I said, you'd better see clearly, this seal can be engraved with the mark of your Eight Treasures Pawnshop, you don't know what it is, your shopkeeper must know, you can't be the master, hurry up and call your shopkeeper." I pointed to the inscription on the seal and showed it to him.
"I can't read, I can't see" the guy looked haughty.
Illiterate and open a pawnshop? Is the ticket clearly written? Anyway, he was a scoundrel, and I was even more scoundrel than him, so I shouted in front of the counter, and the guy finally panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly told me to stop, I raised my chin and continued to shout.
Finally, another person came from behind, it should be the shopkeeper, I handed the seal over again, and the shopkeeper motioned for the man to come and get it.
"Uncle, here you go, this kid is here to be such a broken pimple," the guy handed over dogleggedly.
This is still a relational household, no wonder it is so crazy.
The shopkeeper over there glanced at the seal and immediately reacted that he was a person who couldn't afford to offend, and hurriedly opened the door of the counter to welcome him, "I don't know if the noble person is visiting, I missed the welcome, and please atone for my sins."
The guy looked puzzled, but he didn't expect his attitude to change one hundred and eighty degrees.
"If you make amends, you will be exempted, and you can't afford to apologize to the shopkeeper."
"The noble man is complaining about us when he says this, the guy in the store is suddenly sick today, I just let my nephew on top, this kid has a strong temperament, and the noble man is unhappy, I am his uncle, I apologize to you on his behalf, you have a lot of adults don't worry about us." The shopkeeper flattered, completely ignoring his nephew's bewilderment.
"Enough, I'm not here to argue about this today, this seal was given to me by your young city lord, he said that if I want to find him, I just need to show you this, and you will contact him, and now I want to see him"
"Don't worry, Childe, I'll tell you to go down, where does Childe live? I'll give you an answer tomorrow at this moment," the shopkeeper's cat bent his waist and nodded, with a smile on his face full of wrinkles.
"No need, I'll come back tomorrow ......"
