Chapter 40: Two Wishes
Qu Zhangyin saw that Lu Jiayue was only in charge of Liang Hao, you talked and laughed with each other, and felt a little depressed in his heart, so he sat aside and drank tea with a tea clock, but suddenly remembered that he forgot to explain the identities of Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying to Liang Hao.
So he found a gap, interjected, pointed at Lu Jiayue and smiled at Liang Hao: "I was confused and forgot to introduce to Brother Liang, this is my eldest aunt's niece, Sister Lu." ”
Qu Ying was still in a trance, and Qia Quzhang pointed at her again, and smiled at Liang Hao: "This is my Ying sister, and it is the eldest granddaughter of my family." ”
Liang Hao's gaze naturally fell on Qu Ying.
The two looked at each other, and there was nothing unusual, but in just a moment, Qu Ying's face was already red, and he lowered his head again.
Liang Hao saw that Qu Ying was embarrassed, and he was embarrassed, so he had to smile reluctantly to hide his embarrassment.
But even with this hurried glance, the picturesque eyebrows of the girl in front of him, the red lips that were not dotted, and the delicate and tactful demeanor had all been deeply ingrained in his mind.
This scene is falling into Lu Jiayue's eyes.
According to what she saw, Liang Hao was still talking and laughing at her, but he just glanced at Qu Ying, but why was he embarrassed?
Could this be what people often say is more timid about homesickness?
Although there is no love between Liang Hao and Qu Ying at the moment, at least the first time the two met, it can be regarded as leaving a good impression on each other.
Lu Jiayue felt happy in her heart, and felt that the hard work she had put into this for several days was finally not in vain.
Liang Hao is a humble gentleman after all, knowing that as a foreign man, it is not suitable to be in the same room with Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying, the two boudoir girls, for a long time, so he only sat for a while, then said goodbye and left, and still went back to the front yard study with Qu Zhang.
*
After Liang Hao and Qu Zhang went, Lu Jiayue and the three of them also got up and went back to the upper room, walked in the garden, and folded a few plum blossoms and brought them back to the upper room for Mrs. Qu to enjoy.
In winter, it was dark early, and before it was time to unite, Mrs. Liang said goodbye to Mrs. Qu and several ladies.
"Thank you for your hospitality, I am really ashamed to disturb your house all day today, I will invite the old lady and the lady to come to the house to get together, and let me express my gratitude."
Although Mrs. Qu was reluctant, she saw that the sky was darkening, so she ordered a few big girls around her to send Mrs. Liang and Liang Wan out for her. The eldest lady Meng and the fourth lady Fang also accompanied and sent Mrs. Liang and Liang Wan to the second gate before they dispersed.
*
The next day, in Meng's main room, while there was no one around, Lu Jiayue quietly tested Qu Ying's mind.
didn't say it explicitly, only asked her what she thought of Liang Haoqi.
Who knew that Qu Ying just blushed and didn't say a word, and then chased after her and asked her, she was in a hurry, and she was ashamed and annoyed Lu Jiayue and avoided after a few words.
If you don't like Liang Hao, just answer generously, why do you need to avoid it like this?
Lu Jiayue affirmed Qu Ying's intentions, and went to the study in the front yard to meet Qu Zhang, and asked him to find an opportunity to explore Liang Hao's thoughts.
Who knew that Qu Zhang said with a smile that in the past, he had never seen Liang Hao's embarrassed demeanor in the warm pavilion that day, and he thought about it, most of them also liked Qu Ying.
Having said that, the next day, Qu Zhang brought a more affirmative answer to Lu Jiayue.
Under Qu Zhang's several questions and temptations, Liang Hao finally opened his mouth, saying that he was willing to take Qu Ying as his wife, but he had no fame yet, and he was afraid that he would not be able to climb the lintel of Qu's house.
Both are willing, and it seems that this marriage is mostly going to be completed.
The most joyful and happy is Lu Jiayue, who has contributed to this beautiful marriage.
*
Strike while the iron is hot, Lu Jiayue pondered for a few days and decided to tell her cousin Qu Song about Qu Ying and Liang Hao first.
First, Qu Song is calm and serious, and he is also a brother, and he can also refer to one or two details about Qu Ying's marriage. Second, this kind of marriage between men and women who are privately matched, after all, is not a clear way for matchmakers, if it spreads, it will hinder their reputation in the end. Third, except for Qu Song, there is no one else who can help, although Qu Hong and Meng are Qu Ying's parents, but if Lu Jiayue mentions Liang Haolai for no reason, I am afraid that Qu Hong and Meng will be suspicious.
In contrast, Lu Jiayue felt that her cousin Qu Song was easy to speak.
On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, because Qu Song was at home in the afternoon, Lu Jiayue took Xin Zhu to Qu Song and Xu's yard.
But only Xu was in the house, listening to Lu Jiayue ask about Qu Song, and said with a smile: "It's in the study in the front yard." ”
So, Lu Jiayue had to take Xin Zhu to Qu Song's study in the front yard.
It was the end of the year, the master and servant went all the way, and the maids and servants were busy cleaning and dusting, moving and moving furnishings, although everyone was busy, but their faces were full of joy.
Lu Jiayue couldn't help but be happy.
It's the New Year.
remembered that in her previous life, in the first year she spent in the Qu family, everyone else was elated and happy, but she was the only one who shrunk and was wronged, and she passed a year.
Lu Jiayue smiled unconsciously.
I was so stupid in my previous life! In fact, there are not many beautiful things in this world, and there are people around me who really care about and love themselves, but at that time, why did they turn a blind eye.
Could it be that people really have to go through pain and shed tears before they can truly grow?
But sometimes, what you have in front of you is the most cherished thing...
*
Because the New Year is approaching, the families in the front yard are also busy cleaning up the courtyard, and because of the slight lack of manpower, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng and the two are also counted.
Xiaoshun Xiaocheng followed Ding Baozhu in the front yard, and the three of them moved a ladder together to erect it under the eaves of the corridor in the front yard, and took a broom to sweep the cobwebs in the corner under the corridor.
The three of them were working while making trouble, and they were having fun, when they suddenly heard two long horse neighs outside the gate in front of them, loud and powerful, and Baozhu smiled and said: "As soon as I heard this, I knew that it must be Uncle Guo again." ”
Although Xiaoshun Xiaocheng arrived at the Qu family not long ago, he also knew that the Qu family and the queen of the middle palace were in-laws, and the aunt and wife of the Qu family were the younger daughter-in-law of the queen of the middle palace, and the queen's younger brother and uncle were the younger uncles of the aunt's wife.
Just listening to Baozhu's words, it seems that Uncle Guo often comes to Qufu.
Xiaoshun smiled and said: "Brother Zhuzi, why don't you often hear that the eldest aunt and wife come back to her parents' house, but Uncle Guo often comes?" ”
Baozhu laughed twice and said, "The old lady is not the aunt's mother-in-law, why don't you always come back to her mother's house?" Uncle Guo, he doesn't come often, but he is good friends with our young master Song, and sometimes he comes to visit Master Songda for a drink, play chess, talk about Fengyue, and talk about life. ”
As he spoke, two young men, one after the other, walked in, as if they were about to pass through the hall and go to the back.
Baozhu is used to seeing it, but he doesn't care, just do the work in his hands, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng two, but he hurriedly stretched out his head to look at the two young men.
He is the uncle of the country, the queen's brother, and a very noble relative. I have never seen such a noble person!
But looking at it, the two little guys invariably changed their faces.
