Retirement?

Hearing this, Lu Shi was stunned.

Are you sure it's a "resignation"? Instead of "rushing"?

She didn't believe her ears, or rather, she didn't believe that Liu Yuwan was so righteous.

Just as she was in a daze, Mother Lu led the old lady into the door.

Lu Shi hurriedly got up to greet him, and Liu Yuwan also stood up to pay respect.

"Mother, come, sit here." Lu helped the old lady to sit down.

"I heard that the county lord of Yuwan is visiting, the old woman and I are blind, and I can't salute the county lord, and I hope the county lord will not blame the old woman for being rude." The old lady couldn't see where Liu Yuwan was, and said politely towards the void.

"The old lady is serious."

"Yunshu, the old woman is not invited, will it disturb your conversation? If so, the old woman will come back later. ”

"No, the county lord and I are discussing Guan Sheng's marriage. Mother, you have always loved Guan Sheng, and it is up to you to decide this matter, which is very appropriate. Although it was not Chongxi, Liu Yuwan actually took the initiative to come to the door to withdraw from her relatives, and something went wrong. Such a problem is only suitable for the "battle-hardened" old lady to deal with it.

Hearing this, the old lady asked lightly: "That's it!" Is that an auspicious day? Or is it on the side? ”

Lu Shi glanced at Liu Yuwan, and Liu Yuwan motioned for her to explain to the old lady.

Only then did Lu Shi reply: "Mother, Feng Gongzi is seriously ill, and the county lord does not want Guan Sheng to be dragged down, so he decided to cancel this family business. ”

Hearing this, the old lady frowned slightly and asked, "The county lord is kind, and the old woman is grateful." It's just that my Sima Mansion is not a person who is unkind and unkind. If the county lord is really worried that the sheng girl will be wronged, then he can wait for Ling Lang to recover from his illness before discussing marriage. ”

The old lady knows very well that this is a rare good match. The family relationship is simple, and the Feng family has a gentle personality, and he will definitely be able to save a lot of right and wrong in the future.

Moreover, from ancient times to the present, it is the family affair of the proud who retreat from the poor and the poor. This kind of victim took the initiative to come to the door to withdraw from her relatives, and it was the first time she had seen it.

The wise and wise old lady guessed at once that there must be something strange in it.

That's why she reacted in this way. In this way, even if this Liu Yuwan is really kind, it will have no effect. Feng Bozhong's illness is not good, so Sima Guansheng can not marry. Sima Guansheng has just passed and has a lot of time to wait.

Lu Shi listened to the old lady's words and was very puzzled. Since the other party took the initiative to withdraw from the family, it was a good thing, so why should he drag this crooked neck tree. If this crooked neck tree really can't be straightened, wouldn't that make Sima Guansheng waste a lot of his youth, and the gains outweigh the losses?

She frowned slightly, and looked at the old lady puzzled.

Before Liu Yuwan came, thinking that normal people saw Feng Bozhong's situation, I am afraid that they would not owe each other immediately.

But why did the old lady react like this? Is it a polite remark? Or is there something else going on?

Liu Yuwan smiled embarrassedly: "Old lady, Gao Feng Liangjie, Yu Wan is ashamed." If you wait for three years and five years, the old lady is willing? If my son is left disabled for life, the old lady doesn't mind? ”

When the old lady heard this, she suddenly lost her confidence, she didn't want to let Sima Guansheng take this risk.

After pondering for a moment, she replied: "If this is the case, then it is really a thin relationship between you and me. Sheng girl has passed the year of Xuan, I am afraid that she will not be able to wait for three years and five years. In this case, it can only be according to the will of the county lord. ”

She is also a decisive person, and when she saw that things were not good, she immediately changed her words.

"Then thank you old lady, this is Guan Sheng's Geng post, and I will return it completely." Liu Yuwan glanced at the mother-in-law waiting behind her, the mother-in-law held Sima Guansheng's Geng post, and put her hands in Lu's hands, "I'm bothered today, my son is at home alone, I have to go back to take care of it, so I will stay soon." ”

After that, Liu Yuwan got up and said goodbye.

Lu personally sent her out of the door before turning back to the house.

In this way, a good fate that envies others has come to naught.

Lu was afraid that Sima Guansheng would be upset, and when he told her the news, he spared a big circle.

Sima Guansheng learned the news and secretly rejoiced.

In this way, it means that everything is going well with Liu Liyue, and next, it is her turn to implement the second step plan. Although this trip may make her the target of public criticism, she may also betray her relatives, and even become a lewd in the eyes of the world. Wadang. Women, but, in order to be able to renew the relationship with Liu Liyue, she will not hesitate to do so even if the catastrophe is gone.

The matter of Sima Wansheng's return soon spread out.

At this time, Sima Guansheng became famous and became the target of all families. Many well-to-do families came to visit, and they all wanted to marry Sima Fu.

On that day, at the Liuyu meeting, the Duchess who fell in love with Sima Guansheng at a glance also came to visit today with a generous gift.

Ye Jinkang led the Duchess and went straight to Tingxue Pavilion. On the way, I met Zhong Xiaoniang who was letting off the wind in the yard.

Seeing that it was a duchess, Zhong Xiaoniang naturally smiled and saluted, "Duchess, be well!" ”

The Duchess smiled lightly, didn't even give Zhong Xiaoniang a straight eye, and looked ahead and walked away.

She has always been arrogant, and she can't rub sand in her eyes. People like Zhong Xiaoniang who are shameless and concubines are all inferior people in her eyes, and she hates them all like her.

Zhong Xiaoniang stood up straight in embarrassment, turned her head and looked at her angrily, before she shook her sleeves fiercely and said, "Hmph! It is really the Lord who forgets righteousness, and when he asks me that day, his sister is long and his sister is short. Now, seeing that I have nothing to use, I turn a blind eye. ”

Mother Wen behind her muttered: "This duchess has always been noble, how could she deign to come to the mansion to visit today?" The sun really came out in the west. ”

"This still needs to be asked, it must still be for the cheap hooves of Lichun Pavilion." Zhong Xiaoniang said angrily, kneading the pink moon next to her hand into mud, "I hate my low status, right?" We'll see, I'm not going to let you get what you want. ”

With that, she angrily brushed her sleeves away.

Listen to the Snow Pavilion, the residence of the Lu family.

The Duchess was seated and was talking to Lu.

Lu Shi smiled and asked, "How can the Duchess come to the house today?" ”

"As the saying goes: nothing is left to the Three Treasures Palace. I took the liberty to bother today, and I really want to ask for something good. The Duchess smiled all over her face, even with a smile in her voice.

"A good thing?" Lu Shi asked very calmly, in the past few days, she has dealt with too many such high-ranking nobles, and she has long been surprised.

In the past, Sima Qu didn't care about this dispensable concubine, but now, Sima Guansheng has become a fragrant sweet, he has the idea of waiting for the price to sell, let the Lu family try to maneuver, he wants to choose the one that is most beneficial to him.

In this way, the big stone hanging in Sima Guansheng's heart was finally put down, and Sima Qu's selfish thoughts happened to buy her time. She was racking her brains about how to get out of her shell and how to successfully enter the palace to meet His Majesty.

"Isn't it?" The Duchess was impatient to express her intentions, "I liked it very much when I saw the beauty and virtue of the second lady of your mansion at the Qushui Liuyu meeting that day. Today, I came to ask for my son's marriage, and I hope that Mrs. Tu is talented. ”

"Thank you Duchess for your wrong love, many people have come to ask for Geng post these days, and the slave family doesn't know if the husband has answered others. When the husband returns, the slave family will ask about the situation, and then send a letter back to the duchess. ”

These words, Lu Shi has already said these words very well, and he has to use them every three or five times.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Madame's good news."

"Moreover, these two girls have been favored by my mother since childhood, and this choice of grandson-in-law has to pass her level. Therefore, it should not be so quick to reply to the Duchess, and at that time, I hope that the Duchess will not blame the slave family for procrastination. ”

"How can that?"

The two chatted for a while, and then Lu sent the Duchess out.

That night, Lu told Sima Qu about the Duchess's door-to-door proposal.

"Duke's Palace, haha!" Sima Qu laughed happily after hearing this, "I didn't expect that my Sima Qu's daughters are all priceless treasures." Sister-in-law married to the prince, this Guan Sheng can be photographed by the Earl's Palace, this is simply the ancestral tomb of my Sima family is smoking, God wants my Sima family to be rich and noble, and the carp jumps over the dragon gate! ”

He wandered around the room with excitement, a little bewildered with joy, and danced there like a child getting candy.

Right now, the Holy One is considering his promotion. And the Duke is a celebrity around the saint, if the two families marry, the Duke only needs to say a few good words at will, then his promotion will be a certainty.

"Husband, look at you. Shall we go down to the Duchess, or shall we? ”

"Yes, of course you have to respond, you will go to Zhang Luo quickly tomorrow." Sima Qu didn't think about it anymore, and replied in the affirmative very quickly, and he designated the Duke's Palace as a ladder that he could climb up.

Although Sima Daiyi is also well married, Junyi is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and far water can't quench his thirst, so he has to make good use of what is available around him.

"Okay, the concubine will let people send Geng Ti over tomorrow." Lu stepped forward and dragged Sima Qu and dragged him to the dining room, "Husband, no matter how happy you are, this Five Organs Temple still has to be sacrificed, right?" ”

"Okay, I'll go to my mother's later, she has always doted on her. This Guan Sheng's marriage still has to be nodded by her. "Sima Qu is the kind of person who puts filial piety first, and he doesn't want to go against the old lady's will in everything.

"Okay."

The two laughed and walked towards the dining room together.

After dinner, Sima Qu came to Qilanxuan, and just like Liu Yuwan came to propose marriage last time, he told the old lady all about today's events.

After hearing this, the old lady tightened her face, as if she didn't like this family business very much.

She frowned and asked coldly, "The Duchess, which son can you say to kiss?" ”

"This ......" Sima Qu couldn't answer for a while, he forgot to ask the Lu family, he paused and continued: "The duchess has five sons and one daughter, the eldest son and the second son have already been married, and the third son heard that he was engaged to the lord of Huanxi County a few days ago, and the eldest and youngest are orderly, so they should be asking for the fourth son!" ”

Sima Qu reasoned and reasoned.

The Duchess is a strong person, and her mother's family is illustrious, so the Duke did not dare to take a concubine in her main room. Of course, she also lived up to expectations, giving birth to five sons and one daughter for the Duke's Palace. So that the duke, who wanted to inherit the lineage and open up the branches and leaves, could only obediently shut up.
