On the second day, Lu Qing came to look for Mrs. Tan with pastries early in the morning, and was very happy to know that her mother was hesitant and had moved, and left happily after receiving assurances that Mrs. Tan would continue to persuade her mother.

Coming out of Mrs. Tan's room, Lu Qing bent to the next room to find Tan Yin. While eating the plum blossom cake she brought, Tan Yin listened to Lu Qing's detailed account of yesterday's events, and Tan Yin was stunned for a moment, admiring Lu Qing's hippie smile and improvisation.

"Aqing, you are so powerful, how do you know these truths so clearly?"

"Ahem, haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run? I have participated in so many banquets and seen many ladies and ladies, I don't know what the Zheng family thinks? In their family's situation, it is best to find another daughter-in-law of the Jin family, otherwise this hole will still not be filled. But their family can't find a businessman's daughter-in-law anymore, otherwise the family will be completely ruined. It's not bad to see me like this, my father is a petty official, my mother is a businessman, the key is to be able to manage things, and I am a material that can be made, so I can continue to do my best for Zheng Fu and die! I'm not going to jump into this fire pit. ”

Tan Yin's eyes widened when she heard Lu Qing's analysis, "Doesn't that aunt and uncle know?" ”

Lu Qing pursed her lips and said, "How can I not know, it's just that I like the golden signboard of the Hou Mansion!" But my father and mother don't think exactly the same. My mother feels sorry for me, and I cry and beg for her, and ......"

Tan Yin looked at Lu Qing suspiciously, how could she be halfway through her words.

Lu Qing continued stupidly: "Plus my mother herself is also counted in the pit, she has personal experience, as long as she feels sorry for me, she will not let me jump into the fire pit again." As for my dad! As you all know, he is bent on clinging to the powerful, how can he give up such a good opportunity? If he doesn't agree to this, I can only rely on my mother to have a hard time with him, and I'll take the opportunity to act and see if there is any other opportunity. ”

Tan Yin heard Lu Qing say that her mother had entered the pit, and remembered what her mother said, she sighed in her heart and said, "But I don't think my aunt will basically disobey her uncle." ”

"Generally, it will not be violated, unless there are special circumstances, I hope I am that special." Lu Qing sighed lightly and said firmly: "No matter what, I will not agree to marry into the Zheng family." ”

Tan Yin felt as if something had flashed through her mind, and asked, "Ah Qing, do you have a sweetheart?" ”

Lu Qing was stunned by her question, and replied for a while: "Ayin, why do you ask that?" ”

Tan Yin saw Lu Qing's expression and immediately understood.

A girl who has no heart faces Zheng Xi, even if his family background is complicated, even if he is pampered too much, but the love of the noble son abounds, Zheng Xi himself is talented and good-looking, this marriage is still an excellent family affair for the daughter of a six-rank official who has no real power.

Lu Qing touched her nose with her hand, and said after a while: "It used to be true, but that was also in the past." ”

Tan Yin didn't ask, just poured her a cup of tea, waited for her to finish the tea, and listened to her slowly.

Two and a half years ago, Lu Yin had a classmate surnamed Lin, whose father was an official from other provinces and came all the way to Beijing to study. Handsome appearance, upright and polite, rigorous in learning. For a period of time, I often came to Lu Mansion, and I saw Lu Qing a lot, so I became acquainted. Every time he met Lu Qing, he would talk to her for a long time. He is knowledgeable and unique, and he is one of the best among his peers, gentle and humble every time he talks to Lu Qing, and always patiently answers Lu Qing's questions. came and went, and Lu Qing, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was secretly in love.

When Lu Qing said this, he paused for a while, and laughed at himself: "I was so stupid at that time, every time he chatted with me, I was happy for a long time, and I slept in bed at night tossing and turning, carefully recalling every word, every action, and every expression of his day, and I really understood what it meant to be sweeter than honey." ”

Tan Yin thought of herself and Li Zheng, how could it be otherwise. Tan Yin gently stroked Lu Qing's hand, Lu Qing felt her comfort and care, and nodded to her.

"But I later found out that he approached me for a different purpose. His master has an old relationship with Aunt Yin, he wants to find out about Aunt Yin through me, and I stupidly thought that people really liked me! I don't blame Aunt Yin, she was just a poor person, she met his master when she was a geisha, and the two had a relationship, but she was later given to my father. My father thought that Aunt Yin admired him very much and dreamed of his talent and beauty! ”

Lu Qing calmed down, "But this matter has nothing to do with the Zheng family's marriage." I don't like it, because the Zheng family is too complicated. Second, I have no feelings for Zheng Xi, let alone so many romantic debts from him. Since I was a child, I saw my mother's compromise, watched Aunt Chen deal with her all day long, saw that I couldn't get what I liked, and saw it at my sister in a blink of an eye, I didn't want to live this kind of life again. ”

"In fact, if the door is not right, it is unlikely to become a good marriage, but if the door is right, it will definitely become a good marriage? I don't know! Lu Qing sighed softly.

Tan Yin looked at Lu Qing, who was a little confused and even fragile, and asked, "Ah Qing, what if your uncle-in-law doesn't agree and insists on forcing you to join the Zheng family?" ”

"What to do? Trees are dead, people are alive, and there is always a way. ”

She returned to her usual cheerful and optimistic attitude, and Tan Yin continued to ask, "Then are you still thinking about that Lin Gongzi?" ”

Lu Qing stroked the hair on her right sideburns, without much emotion, and said slowly: "What is there to think, Zuo is just that I am young and ignorant, and I am sentimental." Don't talk about me, how about you and Li Zheng? The last time I heard my brother say that some adults appreciate him. ”

Tan Yin was very happy when she heard this, and said embarrassedly: "He just rented a house not far from the Bo Bookstore, and his mother will come over on the 10th of this month, and he said that he will let his mother come to ask for marriage." ”

Lu Qing looked at her embarrassed appearance and said with a smile: "Hey, is this action fast!" It seems that he is afraid of long nights and dreams. Among the new Jinshi this time, there are not many young Jinshi, and there are even fewer handsome people who are not married, and how many people are staring at it! It's better to settle down early. ”

Tan Yin looked at her suspiciously and said, "Is it so exaggerated by what you said?" ”

Lu Qing looked at her with a smile and said, "What do you say!" Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall. Li Zheng is not the poor scholar in your academy, now he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, no matter what the future holds, it is not something that ordinary people can turn their backs on, but fortunately, he is wholeheartedly devoted to you. Just like Lin Shiying is as desperate as Amin, I heard that Amin said to go east, and he definitely didn't dare to go west. ”

Tan Yin burst out laughing.

"Well, if only I had the good fortune of both of you." Lu Qing sighed enviously.

"Did he look for you again?" Tan Yin is also very gossipy.

"Then he came to see me and apologized to me, and I accepted." Lu Qing said calmly.

"And then!" Tan Yin asked.

"No more."

"We haven't seen each other since!"

"Is this necessary? When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Lu Qing asked rhetorically.

"That's it!" Tan Yin was a little sorry, as if she was mourning the end of a beautiful relationship.

"Alas, what kind of expression do you have, I am the one who was deceived." Lu Qing pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied.

"And do you still like him now?" Tan Yin looked at her cautiously and said.

Lu Qing chuckled and said, "When I first started to know the truth, I often wondered if he ever liked me, even a little bit. If he doesn't like me, why does he smile so gently and beautifully at me? If he likes me, even if it is a deception, I will forgive him, if he does not like me, then I will not forgive him for the rest of my life. “

Lu Qing paused for a moment and continued: "I have been in Beijing for five years, and I have seen more people in one year than I have heard in more than ten years before. When I first arrived, I treated many people and things like stories, and it had nothing to do with me anyway. After this incident, I realized that some things will find you, and it is considered to be a long time, and I heard a lot of words in front of and behind people, and I thought carefully about the details and the powerful relationship, and slowly understood. Looking back, I was really stupid and naïve at that time, and for him, it didn't matter to him at all whether I forgave or not, it was just me who stopped where I was. ”

Tan Yin was very surprised, Lu Qing was two months younger than herself, but she was so transparent that it made people feel distressed, and couldn't help but comfort: "Aqing, you ......"

Lu Qing in turn smiled and comforted Tan Yin: "I'm nothing, it's all over, and later Aunt Yin also sent me some valuable things, presumably to apologize for implicating me, but I don't blame her." ”

"Then did Aunt Yin have any voices over there?"

"What's the voice, she married my father, a talented and beautiful woman, red sleeves and fragrance, and gave birth to a sister, my father likes her, glowing with a second spring!"

Tan Yin remembered the day she first came, Aunt Yin's gentle and polite appearance when she served Lu Da for dinner, and Aunt Chen's words to resolve the embarrassment when she asked Yanya for an embroidered handkerchief, she was really an understanding beauty, no wonder that lover never forgot it.

"Then does Aunt Yin love her husband?"

"Who knows! I couldn't see it on her face. But as long as my dad likes her and thinks she loves him, it's enough. It is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person is a family, and taking a concubine is a sex for oneself. ”

Both were silent.

"Don't talk about these unhappy people, come from the truth, when you go to Beijing this time, will your aunt prepare a dowry for you." Lu Gossip looked excited.

Tan Yin looked at Lu Gossip and said: "A few days ago, I saw a two-entry courtyard in the northwest of the city, and my mother said that she would buy it for me, so that we can have a place to settle down in Shangjing." ”

"Auntie is really generous!"

"I'm embarrassed, they are going to sell four shops in Hangzhou and Wujiang, the house in Beijing is really expensive, we can buy a large manor."

"You see that my family has so many people, there is only one three, two into the very good! Don't feel embarrassed, my sister-in-law and aunt are just your daughter, who will you not give it to? How could they be wronged by the pearl in their palms! After Lu Qing finished joking, she sighed again, "Hey, you are going to move out after the Dragon Boat Festival, and after so many years, I have finally looked forward to the person who fell in love with me to come, who knows that the time is so short." ”

Tan Yin was also reluctant to Lu Qing, "Let's move to the west of the city, it's only a little more than an hour away from here by car, don't you have to come to see us often!" ”

"That's right, even Amin has to go back and get married. You'll be in the capital for the time being. I just don't know what will happen to Aya? I just saw Gu Zhijun come again. Lu Qing said.

Tan Yin saw Yanya holding the snowball yesterday, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and gently stroked it. Snowball is in a good posture, with bright fur, and meows a few times arrogantly, which is very enjoyable.

Gu Zhijun has come a lot of times these days, basically once every two or three days, saying that he is consulting with Yanting about business and business, and preparing for Cai Xuan. Although only Lu Qing's mother and daughter know about the Lu family, there are many people talking, and there are already gossips, and everyone is worried that the words will spread more and more, and they will move in the first place, so it is better to move out as soon as possible.

"I hope everything goes well, Aya has always been kind to others, and the divorce hit her too hard, don't toss her anymore." Tan Yin sighed.

"Not really! I heard my mother say that my grandfather's family died in a hurry. Aya will be twenty next year, and it will be even more difficult to discuss relatives, and now it is May, and it is only half a year before the end of the year. has been delayed by Xu Linhai for so many years for no reason, if it was Gu Zhijun from the beginning, how good it would be, this person is chivalrous and very interesting, and the two of them will definitely not be bored when they are together in the future, but they must be fast. ”

"How can this be so fast, it's only been a long time since we met."

Hearing this, Lu Qing asked again, "You say, will their family have any opinions?" ”

"I heard that Gu Zhijun was frail since he was a child, and his parents were afraid that he would not grow up, so he followed the monk master for two years and always had ideas. My cousin also inquired that if he went to tell his parents through his master, this would basically work. ”

Lu Qing nodded and said, "That's good." By the way, you just mentioned that Xu Linhai and a few new scholars were going to give lectures on that day, and now it is spreading in Beijing, and many authors will go to the scene to sign and sell books on that day. ”

"I also heard that the Bo Book Office, that is where the story of how many books took place, I heard that there will be a lot of new books on the shelves of the Bo Book Office that day, and all the books will be sold in half, I really want to go, even if Xu Linhai is here, Aya Amin definitely doesn't want to go."

"I heard that Xu Linhai's lecture is hard to find, and even if we want to go in, we may not be able to get in. Bo Bookstore! You've read so many scripts, don't you want to see the real thing? We persuaded the two of them to go, this is a few years of not a chance to go, he opened his talk, we read our books, there are a lot of fashionable things, it would be a pity not to go, they don't know that the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue will come to Beijing again, don't regret it in the future. ”

When Tan Yin heard this, she was very agreeable, and the two made an appointment to go to the two sisters Yanya and Yanmin together. To put it mildly, Lu Qing used her three-inch incorruptible tongue to bewitch that there would be no store in this village, and she didn't miss it when she passed by, and repeatedly promised that she would not meet Xu Linhai at all, and finally persuaded the two of them.
