Chapter 594, Picking

That afternoon, Yan Yan left Mrs. Lu for dinner in Mingyuan, and when Lu Jin came back and asked Lu Jin to play with her for a while, he still sent her away.

The main reason is that Mrs. Lu herself understands that she is delicate, she has just been ill, and she needs to recuperate, and Yan Yan has two younger and older ones to take care of, and it is the autumn harvest, not to mention that there is a lot of work in Zhuangzi, and there are a lot of things in the back garden.

Although she hasn't seen it in person, almost all the vegetables, fish and shrimp on the table come from the back garden, and even the rouge rice in the rouge rice porridge she drank is also the new rice that has just been harvested from the back garden.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu understood that her staying would only cause chaos for Yan Yan.

Another point, it was easy for Yan Yan to invite a royal doctor to check her pulse, and also prescribed a prescription, suggesting that she take medicine to recuperate, in this case, it was naturally more convenient to go back to her own home.

However, before leaving, Mrs. Lu opened a few packages she brought in front of Mrs. Meng, four celebrity calligraphy and paintings, a pair of white porcelain plum vases, a pair of jade ornaments, a dozen jade pendants and four Tianhuang stones, and five thousand taels of silver tickets.

Yan Yan didn't want to accept it, but the old lady said that this thing was for Lu Jin and Lu Chu, and she, as a great-grandmother, should leave something for the fourth generation.

After Mrs. Lu left, Yan Yan and her grandmother estimated the value of these things, and those calligraphy, paintings, jade, etc., did not exceed two thousand taels of silver at most, so the old lady's so-called compensation was worth a small Zhuangzi, or a shop in the capital.

In other words, it's not very sincere.

Because this compensation plus the income from the division of the family is still not enough for Lu You to share the family property as a son-in-law, that is to say, not only the Zhu family, but even Mrs. Lu herself does not mean to treat Lu You as a sister-in-law!

It's just that what Yan Yan doesn't understand is that in this case, why did this old lady make this trip?

Originally, she didn't hold out any hope and lived her own life in peace, but after a few months, the old lady suddenly took the initiative to come to the door and said that she wanted to compensate the two of them in private, and it was difficult for Yan Yan to think about it too much.

Do you want to spend a few thousand taels of silver to buy a peace of mind? Or did she think that these thousands of taels of silver could envelop Yan Yan, and Yan Yan could still help the Lu family at a critical time, just like Lu Yan's matter, or like the old lady's own illness.

Yan Yan couldn't figure out this question, Mrs. Meng seemed to understand, she had also been a housewife for so many years, how could she not be clear about this difference between concubines and concubines?

Because the Meng family also has concubines, the division of the Meng family's concubines cannot be compared with the concubines, which Mrs. Meng also recognizes.

Therefore, if the object of Yan Yan's engagement was Lu You, and the Lu family did this, Mrs. Meng would not say anything, and she must abide by the rules.

But the problem is that whether it is compensation or compensation, it was indeed the Lu family who took the initiative to marry Yan Yan with the gift of a son-in-law, but now that people have married in and are going to split up, what do they say that with the specifications of the concubine, the previous ceremony and dowry are considered compensation, not that Lu You was really remembered under the name of the Zhu family as a son-in-law, so Mrs. Meng would be annoyed by the Lu family's rebellion.

In addition, when the truth of what happened back then came out, the Zhu family not only did not repent, but did a lot of things behind their backs, smearing Yan Yan and Lu You as much as possible, so Mrs. Meng would not be ashamed of the Lu family's behavior.

Therefore, Mrs. Meng also guessed the intention of Mrs. Lu this time, in order to avoid Yan Yan being deceived, the old lady simply made it clear, "Child, you can do what you want, don't worry so much, they have already broken up, and you have the emperor and the queen mother as backers, what are you afraid of?" ”

"What is the reasoning? He himself is incapacitated, and he does not allow others to be better than him? Yan Yan asked with wide eyes.

But as soon as she finished asking, she suddenly thought of the original owner's father Yan Rui and second uncle Yan Peng, not only are there differences between the concubines, but in fact, there is also a difference between the son-in-law and the eldest son.

It is said that Yan Peng was eighteen or nineteen years old when Yan Rui died, and it was too late to cultivate now, but the Yan family only had one son-in-law left, so this title could only be given to him.

For this reason, Yan Peng emphasized more than once that if the original owner's father was still there, the prestige and reputation of the Yan family would definitely be much better than now.

But even so, Yan Yan also knows one thing that the way of education for the son-in-law and the concubine is basically the same, the difference is that the eldest son will follow his father to contact government affairs or military affairs from the age of fifteen, and from this year, the son will generally enter Taixue.

The gap has been widened since this year, and the people and things that I come into contact with every day are different, and the vision is naturally different.

Of course, there must have been a gap before, after all, everyone's qualifications are different, whether it is learning literature or martial arts, understanding is sometimes more important than hard work.

Because Yan Peng has said more than once that he has limited talent, and he also studied with his eldest brother when he was young, but he was not as good as his eldest brother in terms of studying or practicing martial arts.

But Lu You's situation is completely different from them, although he has also studied with Lu Ming for five years, but these two people are not comparable at all, one can't even speak, and can only hide from practicing the pronunciation of new words in private; The other is the darling in the eyes of everyone, and he has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child.

Therefore, before he was fifteen years old, at the age of ten, the Lu family gave up on Lu You and devoted himself to cultivating Lu Ming, and Lu Ming lived up to expectations and became the son of a family with a reputation in the capital, and Lu You was still a dumb person who didn't even dare to come out.

Now that Yan Yan has tapped Lu You's potential, Lu You has also found a path that suits him, at this time the Lu family ran out and said that he had done something wrong and should leave this glory to Lu Ming.

Why?

"Grandmother, rest assured, we have our own opinions on this matter, to be honest, the reason why I have made such a big move over the years is to pave the way for my husband, so that I will not waste his wisdom in vain. We said on the day we got married, from now on, husband and wife will work together to create a glorious family of our own, and now that all this has just begun, how can we give up? If you want to blame him, blame him for not being good at learning. Yan Yan weighed and said.

She will not back down.

"Good boy, I like your strength to not admit defeat, don't worry, I will explain to your uncle, he may not be able to help with family affairs, you can still say a few words in the court, you just have to do it." Old Lady Meng moved Yan Yan's face and moved up.
