Lu Congxin knows that the choice of a wife has never been up to him.

However, the wife is according to the meaning of the elders, so the concubine can always choose by herself, right?

That obedient and delicate face appeared in Lu Congxin's mind again, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, as if the slender leaf tip couldn't withstand the weight, and a drop of morning dew slipped down, which happened to fall in his heart.

In the past, when he lived in the Guogong Mansion, the Lu family was meticulous about his diet and daily life, but he also paid close attention to his knowledge.

There is a school in the house of the old prime minister in Beijing, which is not only for the children of the clan to learn enlightenment, or have friendships, or those who are talented, can enter to study.

Lu Congxin and Zheng Rong'an went to school in this school at that time, Zheng Rong'an has always had the momentum of his brother in front of Lu Congxin, and he always has to preach to him from time to time, so that it is not annoying.

If Lu Congxin is reprimanded by Mr. today, he will definitely tell Lu Shi; But if he got the praise, Zheng Rong'an seemed to have forgotten it completely, and didn't say a word in front of Lu.

He is so stingy that people feel like they are stuck in their throats.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't seem atmospheric to say, but it's uncomfortable to hold in my heart.

Lu Congxin was only in his early teens at that time, and he hadn't seen Qi's family for three months after leaving home, and he missed it very much, and after being reprimanded by Lu's family, he was depressed in his heart, so he ran to Jiaoyuan recklessly, hiding inside and crying secretly.

That was the first time he saw Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang's two cousins.

One big and one small are holding hands, wearing like two flour glutinous dumplings.

Zheng Changchang was still very young at the time, and she could barely walk, Zheng Lingyi dragged her tightly and took her to walk, but the two fell on their butts in the snow.

It's so pathetic and cute.

When Lu Congxin picked up the two of them from the ground, the embarrassment on his face also made the two little ones see it.

Zheng Lingyi blinked a pair of black eyes with slightly drooping tails, and said in a milky voice: "Big brother, who are you?" Why are you crying? ”

Lu Congxin shook his head and did not speak.

A small fist smashed Lu Congxin's hand, he spread out his palm, and saw Zheng Lingyi put three salty peanuts into his palm quite preciously.

Lu Congxin couldn't help but smile: "For me?" ”

Zheng Lingyi nodded matter-of-factly, and said seriously: "Give it to you, don't cry." ”

This matter was like a breeze, blowing some ripples in Lu Congxin's mind.

Every time I saw Zheng Lingyi, the wind blew for a while.

Lu Congxin knew that he was going to marry Zheng Yanxian from a very early age, and he also knew that he didn't like Zheng Yanxian, but the main wife was more like an errand and a position in the family, and it needed a certain identity to match.

From Yu Lu's heart, although he doesn't like Zheng Yanxian, it is also beneficial to marry him home to be a housewife.

Similarly, putting Zheng Lingyi in the position of a concubine is also appropriate for him.

"From the heart, from the heart!?" Qi called twice in a low voice, and Lu Congxin came back to his senses.

I saw that Lu Shi looked at him with displeasure, and hurriedly said: "Everything is up to my aunt's orders." ”

Lu Shi smiled, glanced at Qi, and said, "Then let's book it in the first month." ”

Qi's smile froze, and he said with a wince: "Isn't the marriage between Fifth Brother and the Wu family also in the first month?" Will it be busy at both ends? ”

"The beginning of a new month, the end of a new month, what are you busy with? It's not a small family, is it possible that there is no one to call? "Lu Shi didn't wait to see Qi Shi before he left the cabinet, and he always spoke hard to her without any respect.

Even if Lu Congxin was present, he did not restrain at all.

Qi Shi said yes, and glanced at Lu Congxin embarrassedly, seeing that he staggered his gaze, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Would you like to marry your cousin?" Qi sat in his own carriage before he could hold his head up.

Lu Congxin looked at Qi strangely and said, "Aunt and father have already made up their minds, and I can't be the master." Besides, I came to propose marriage today, and my mother asked what I was doing with this? ”

Qi smiled awkwardly and disguised: "Mother is asking if you like Xian'er." ”

Lu Cong's eyes dimmed slightly, but he simply said: "What the wife values is whether the family background is beneficial, whether she likes it or not, it is secondary. ”

Lu Congxin said in his heart, and when he saw Qi's eyes red, he realized that he had poked his mother's sadness.

If it weren't for the Qi family's inconspicuous family background, he would not have been a head shorter in front of the Lu family for so many years, and he would have swallowed his anger.

Lu Congxin hurriedly said: "Mother, I didn't mean that. I......

Qi Shi waved his hand, wiped the tears that had not yet flowed with a handkerchief, and said with a tearful smile: "Mother understands you." My mother is just looking forward to you having a lovely person. ”

Lu Congxin was both guilty and entangled, and hesitated: "I have, but the time has not yet come." ”

Qi Shi blinked, the tears disappeared quickly, and she hurriedly asked, "Which girl does my brother fall into?" Why didn't you tell your mother earlier! ”

If it had been said earlier, maybe she wouldn't have begged her for Lu's daughter!

Lu Congxin regretted that he had leaked out his thoughts, and he had said that, if he didn't explain it clearly, he was afraid that the Qi family would have to think crankily.

"It's a girl from Xian'er." Lu Congxin added a sentence from his heart, and he couldn't ask again.

'How is it still her daughter!?' The Qi family was depressed for a moment, and was inexplicably happy, and said in his heart, "Shuout!?" Your delicate and noble daughter is not as good as a concubine in the eyes of my son! ’

She thought about it for a while, and then wondered: "I look at your aunt's temperament, I won't send another concubine to her biological daughter to block it." ”

Lu Congxin looked confident, and said: "She is still young, and she is not in a hurry to get married." As long as I earn more in my career, my aunt may not be able to beat me. ”

Hearing Lu Congxin's words, Qi almost laughed out loud, and said again and again: "Okay, it's good if you have this ambition." ”

If Lu Congxin and Qi's words were heard by the Lu family, they would be heartbroken.

Lu Congxin didn't have any bad feelings about Lu, but Lu had always treated him as a child, and he didn't realize that the child had grown up and had his own opinions.

Lu Congxin has grown up, but Zheng Yanxian is still a child.

Today, she pretended to be a lady of the hour in front of Qi's family, and she muttered without stopping.

"Am I still afraid that she won't succeed, my mother is really good, I have to sit with my hands and feet tied!" Zheng Yanxian complained.

Zhizhu rubbed her calf, and said helplessly: "Sister, Mrs. Lu is now her aunt, and she will also be her mother-in-law in the future, and she must do her duty well in front of her." ”

"The background of a small family, do you dare to give me a look?" Zheng Yanxian said impatiently.

Although she does not reject marrying Lu Congxin, she also knows that after marrying, she is not as happy as having fun in the boudoir, and she is somewhat unhappy.

"Even so, can't my sister take care of the face of the Lu family?" Zhizhu is waiting for this master who is only tall and does not have a brain, which is really painstaking and spittle.

Zheng Yanxian snorted coldly and did not speak.

After a while, she became interested again, kicked Zhizhu's arm lightly with her toes, and said lightly: "Call Bu Yang to sing." ”

Zhizhu's eyelids jumped, and sure enough, she was expected!

She prevaricated with the rhetoric she had discussed with Zhiyue early: "Sister, the Qiuxi class is very popular in Beijing now, and all the scenes are scheduled for the New Year's Festival." Let's book it out in the first month, so let's bear with it for the time being. Or, the slave maid will invite another troupe to sing? ”

Zheng Yanxian was annoyed when she heard this, retracted her legs, turned her back to Zhizhu and said unhappily: "Don't, don't!" What's the point of someone else's play? ”

The drama of others may not be uninteresting, but the appearance is not as handsome as Bu Yang. Who is Zheng Yanxian hiding from this idea?

Zhizhu and Zhixia are both clear, and in the past, Lu felt that she was young, so she also indulged.

Now that you are at the age when you should get married, how can there be any reason to chase the drama every day?

"I'll ask my mother to order a few more!" Zheng Yanxian thought about it, but still pouted.

"Sister, if you really come to Mrs. and say this, I'm afraid you won't see Bu Gongzi in the future." Zhizhu's words are not just intimidation.

Zheng Yanxian is not really stupid, after thinking about it, she snorted proudly and said: "When you get married, you will be the housewife, and you can watch the play if you want to!" ”

Zhizhu almost laughed out loud, how can a married person be comfortable in the boudoir?

Zheng Yanxian thought that it was too simple, but the Lu family married her to the Lu Mansion, and it was also painstakingly and carefully planned.

For Zheng Yanxian, it can be regarded as a proper family matter, but she also has to cherish her blessings.

Zhizhu coaxed softly, "Sister, the slave and maid saw that you just drank tea, and you didn't eat a bite of Poria cake." There should be a walnut crisp this time, and the slave and maid will go and get a plate. ”

Zheng Yanxian hummed and chirped without words, Zhizhu knew that she was going to eat, and when she saw the autumn wind outside, she put a soft blanket on her before going out.

'After eating the walnut crisp, make a pot of hawthorn fruit tea. ’

Zhizhu carefully calculated, and before he knew it, he arrived at the door of the dim sum restaurant in the outer courtyard.

Zhang Qiaoniang was teaching her maid to knead dough, holding a small bowl of lard residue left over from boiling oil in her hand and eating.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Zhizhu was coming, and said with a smile: "Come and get the walnut cake, right?" I've left it for you. ”

Zhizhu looked at her oily lips and wondered, "Keep it for me?" Who else ordered walnut crisp today? ”

"Third sister, it was said that she was a little weak and short of breath in autumn, and the doctor asked her to eat some walnut crisp to replenish her qi." Zhang Qiaoniang said casually.

Hearing this, Zhizhu said, "The third sister also ordered walnut crisp herself, so yesterday she was embarrassed to say to Mrs. that the snacks in our room consume a lot." ’

Zheng Yanru's words are obviously referring to Zheng Yanxian, but in fact they are her and Zhiyue.

How much can Zheng Yanxian eat alone? What couldn't be eaten was rewarded to her and Zhiyue.

Zhizhu and Zhiyue are both a little greedy, and they take more when they take snacks, she knows that Zheng Yanxian can't finish eating, and she will definitely reward them.

Zheng Yanru has been helping Lu's account management for the past few days, and when she saw the book of dim sum zhai, she felt that she had spent more this month, so she told Lu's.

Lu Shi saw that Zheng Yanxian had gone out more in the room, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the increase or decrease of these taels of silver, but Zheng Yanru also offended Zhizhu and Zhiyue.

Zhizhu frowned slightly, and when he saw Zhang Qiaoniang showing a puzzled look, he only smiled reluctantly, took the walnut crisp and left.

Zhang Qiaoniang looked at Zhizhu with a smirk, and said in her heart: "That girl asked me to spread out the consumption of dim sum carefully and liquidate it to each room, less in the third sister's room, and more in the sixth sister's room." Thinking so carefully, I don't know if it's too much. ’
