"......" Zhong Xiaoniang was speechless by her question.

Only then did Sima Qu respond: "Benevolence and filial piety are good things, and being a child should be like this." Go to the kitchen and send the Lantern Festival to your aunt! Steward Xie, if you accompany the three girls, you will say that I mean it, and let them go. ”

After finishing speaking, Sima Dai hurriedly thanked him happily: "Thank you father, thank you father, my daughter will go down, and my father will use it slowly." ”

With that, she put down the wooden chopsticks and led the maid Orange and Purple to the kitchen in a hurry. Steward Xie also saluted and hurriedly followed

As soon as Sima Daining left for a while, Sima Daiyu also finished eating, got up and saluted, and led the maid away. Sima Daiyuan was already in a bad mood today, so she followed her back to her boudoir, leaving Sima Qu and Zhong Xiaoniang alone.

Zhong Xiaoniang used the small spoon in her hand to stir the Lantern Festival lying in the bowl, and said in a low voice: "Husband, this is another New Year, and my sister-in-law is one year older." What is her husband's idea about her marriage? If it is not settled, the grandmother will really become an old aunt. ”

"Isn't this one after another people coming to the door to propose? After the full moon banquet for Shuo'er, let Yunshu do it for Zhang Luo, and choose a leader with a pure temperament from those people. ”

I can't do the marriage of my own daughter, so I have to hand it over to Lu Yunshu, the housewife.

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhong Xiaoniang became angry, if it weren't for Sima Guansheng's cheap hooves to get in the way, how could the Lu family regain the identity of the main mother, and how could she have the opportunity to preside over the marriage of her sister-in-law.

"Husband, Chu Nanxuan, the son of General Chu, you have also seen it, he is really a leader, if he can become the fast son-in-law of Sima Mansion, it is undoubtedly a good thing. Husband, you have a very good personal relationship with General Chu Minghong, can you be wronged for the sake of your wife? Mention this matter to General Chu? "Speak softly, and carefully consider every word.

When Sima Qu heard this, he slapped his palm on the table and said sharply: "Let me mention the matter of marriage with General Chu, do you really want to be your husband's face made of cowhide?" Don't think I'm embarrassed enough? ”

Su Xiaoniang made a big fuss about the General's Mansion, although she made excuses to prevaricate in the past, but the geese still left a voice! How could he pretend that nothing had happened, and then go to the door to talk about the children's marriage.

Moreover, even if you want to get close to the Chu Mansion, it will not be Sima Dai's turn. Even if he doesn't care about Sima Qu, the Chu family will also care, General Chu is such an only son, how can he marry a concubine and enter the door as a wife.

Zhong Xiaoniang saw that Sima Qu was angry, and hurriedly reassured: "Don't be angry, the concubine is just casually talking." I hope that my husband will take more care about my wife's marriage and find a good match for my wife. ”

"Well, didn't I say that before? I won't be wronged by my mother-in-law. I'm done eating, and I'll go back to my room first. With that, he hurried up and left.

The disguised smile on Zhong Xiaoniang's face was instantly retracted, revealing a face full of anger, her teeth clenched, and her fingers crunched at the table.

I have worked hard in this family for more than ten years, what have I gained? In exchange for this roar, a cold face.

……

Lichun Pavilion, Sima Guansheng's residence.

The maid Youlan held the soup cup and entered the room under the guidance of Rushuang.

Sima Guansheng happened to be eating, and there were two dishes and a bowl of rice porridge on the table.

The maid Youlan held the soup cup and bowed and saluted: "Second girl, it's okay!" The head of the house sent a slave maid to send the Lantern Festival to the second girl. ”

Sima Guansheng's hand holding chopsticks hung in the air, looking thoughtful. After a moment, she whispered unhurriedly, "Put it on the table!" ”

The maid Youlan put the soup cup in her hand on the table and put it aside, and specially conveyed Sima Qu's kindness, "Second girl, the Lantern Festival should be eaten while it is hot, the head of the family knows that the second girl likes to eat wine, so he specially ordered the slave maid to fill more wine." ”

Hearing this, Sima Guansheng put down his chopsticks, opened the lid of the cup, and looked at the steaming Lantern Festival in the cup.

Sima Qu is so "loving", she doesn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Sima Qu's indifference and indifference between right and wrong are the culprits that lead to the restlessness of the family, even if he is a little tougher, even if he distinguishes between right and wrong, he will not let these wives and concubines be so lawless.

Sima Guansheng didn't understand why Yin, who could redress the grievances of the people and share the worries of the saints in the yali, faced these women who were different from the outside, but he had no ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

She couldn't really be happier.

She whispered, "Okay, there's nothing to do, right?" If not, step down! ”

Hearing this, Youlan saluted and retreated.

Sima Guansheng threw the small spoon in his hand back into the soup cup, and said coldly: "Mother Ling, I've finished eating, let them withdraw these!" Rushuang, don't you like to eat Lantern Festival? It's still hot, you eat it while it's hot. With that, she got up and walked towards the library.

Ru Shuang was excited, and hurriedly smiled and thanked: "Thank you for the second girl's reward!" ”

The Lantern Festival of the masters is carefully made, and everything is made of the best materials. A maid like her can eat such a sweet and refreshing Lantern Festival, which is really a blessing.

She couldn't close her mouth with joy, and held the soup cup in her hand like a baby, and giggled vigorously.

In the book pavilion, Sima Guansheng found the letter paper and wrote a letter at the desk.

Mother Ling was grinding ink on the side, and out of curiosity, she asked, "Second girl, it's so late, who are you writing to?" ”

"To Uncle Yongzhou."

"Second girl, are you thinking about the young master and the old lady of Wencheng?"

"I want to go to my mother's grave to do my filial piety, I haven't seen my grandmother for many years, and I miss her a little. After a month, it will be my grandmother's fiftieth birthday, and when the lockdown period expires, I will be able to pay my birthday to her old man. ”

"Second girl, you ...... Do you mean to go back to Yongzhou? When Ling's mother heard this, she was so shocked that her hand stopped grinding, "Second girl, this can't be helped, this Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Yongzhou, and the road is difficult and dangerous. The head of the family will not agree to you going into danger alone. ”

Sima Guansheng didn't answer Ling's mother, put the finished letter into the envelope, and wrote the name of his uncle Ling Wencheng on the envelope. handed it to Mother Ling next to her and said, "Mother Ling, you send someone to deliver the letter to your uncle's house." ”

"Second girl?"

Sima Guansheng grabbed Ling's mother's frostbite-infused hand, and said with a smile: "Ling's mother, you just put your heart back in your stomach, Guansheng is not a three-year-old child, he can argue right from wrong, and he can know the severity." Go for it! ”

Mother Ling breathed a heavy sigh of relief, nodded in response, and left the room with the letter.

Sima Guansheng looked at the back of Ling's mother leaving, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

After the Lantern Festival, Sima Mansion began to distribute banquet posts to prepare for Sima Yongshuo's full moon banquet.

In Sima's Mansion, the lanterns were colorful, and the maids and ladies were already busy buying supplies for the full moon banquet. In front of Sima's Mansion, there was a lot of traffic, people delivering food, wine, tables, chairs and benches.

Sima Qu is particularly concerned about this full moon banquet, Sima Yongshuo's new clothes and life locks are all personally selected and customized by him. As small as a pair of cotton socks, he chose them again and again, for fear of wronging the infant child.

Even if the Lu family was still in confinement, he still stayed for three days and two ends to listen to the Snow Pavilion, and his attitude towards the Lu family was a world of difference compared to before.

Fifteen days later, the full moon banquet was held as scheduled.

There were several rows of carriages carrying sedan chairs at the gate of Sima's mansion, and the congratulatory gifts were piled up in half a room. Since the Sima family moved to Luoyang, it has not been so lively for a long time.

Sima Guansheng was originally worried that Zhong Xiaoniang would be unwilling and would toss again on top of the full moon banquet. But the result was much better than she expected, the full moon banquet was very successful, and the Sima Mansion was happy.

In the evening, seeing off all the guests, Lu was already so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.

Sima Qu was also tired enough, and when he returned to the room, Lu ordered the maids to prepare hot water for him to take a hot bath to relieve fatigue.

Lu originally wanted to wash and rest early, but in order to be the wife of the main house and not disappoint Sima Qu, she dragged her tired body and insisted on going to the congratulatory room to count the congratulatory gifts and keep the accounts in the warehouse.

Sima Qu came out of the bath and found that she was not in the room, so he casually asked the maid next to him, "Where is the eldest lady?" ”

"Homecoming, the eldest lady went to the congratulatory room to count the congratulatory gifts."

When Sima Qu heard this, he took off the robe on the clothes rack and put it on, and ordered the maid to take a cloak, and went to the congratulatory room alone to find the Lu family with the cloak.

He stood at the door of the congratulatory room, looking at the Lu family who was carefully counting, and a sense of guilt suddenly rose in his heart.

Such a virtuous and virtuous lady, but I have snubbed her for so many years, I am really ashamed to be a husband.

He walked into the room with light steps and put the cloak in his hand on Lu's body.

Lu Shi was taken aback, and turned his head suddenly, "Husband, why are you here?" ”

"If I don't come, are you going to leave me alone tonight?" Sima Qu said softly while tying the rope on her cloak.

This is a love story with no level, but Lu Shi listened to it but it was sweet to the heart. She looked at Sima Qu's face, her eyes were full of emotion, and she was a little flattered and overwhelmed.

Sima Qu snatched the ledger and pen in her hand and put them in the pile of congratulatory gifts. Gently took Lu's hand and said: "It's so late, these will be sorted out tomorrow, tired for a day, you have just come out of confinement, if you are tired, who will take care of Shuo'er?" Who's going to take care of my house? ”

"Husband......

"Alright, let's go!"

Sima Qu took Lu's hand, and the two walked towards Lu's bedroom like a pair of young men and women in love.

After the full moon banquet, Sima Guansheng's grounding period also expired.

The next day, as a wife, the Lu family officially accepted the invitation of the concubine girls.

Of course, Sima Guansheng was no exception, she freshened up early, simply finished breakfast, and led Ling's mother to Tingxue Pavilion.

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

Lu Shi and Sima Qu had already had breakfast, and Lu Shi was preparing to send Sima Qu out to Yali.

"Husband, I'll send you to the door?" Seeing that Sima Qu's clothes were a little messy, Lu Shi said in a low voice while tidying up for him.

She has been looking forward to such a day of raising her eyebrows and respecting each other like a guest for more than ten years, and now she can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon. She had a smile on her face all the time, and happiness in her eyes.

"No, I'm afraid of delaying them to come and say hello to you, just remember to take what I told you to heart."

"Don't worry, husband, I will definitely try my best to help Dai find a good match."
