Chapter 62 Random Mandarin Ducks
After entering the warm pavilion and sitting for a while, Lu Jiayue couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.
Qu Qian is not a frivolous person, even if she talks nonsense and filthy people, how can she pull in the three elders of Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Qu Yi and Meng.
And she just said something clearly.
What was the last thing she didn't say?
Lu Jiayue had something in her heart, so she was a little unsettled, and it was easy to get into the evening, the warm pavilion in the Dark Fragrance Garden was scattered, and she followed Meng Shi back, and as soon as she entered the inner room, she pulled Meng Shi to sit down on the warm kang.
Meng Shi smiled: "This girl, what are you going to do in a hurry?" ”
Lu Jiayue hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "Auntie, has the aunt ever talked to you about anything recently?" ”
Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that those fast-talking people are spreading the word again--- I haven't told you yet, but it has already reached your ears first." ”
Lu Jiayue was stunned.
Listening to my aunt's tone, it seems to be related to herself.
Message... What did you say?
Why does Qu Qian know, her aunt knows, and Mrs. Qu also knows, but only she doesn't know?
"Are you happy or unhappy?" Meng Shi saw that Lu Jiayue was just stunned, so he touched her cheek with a smile.
Lu Jiayue shook her head and looked at Meng Shi blankly, "Auntie, I don't know what others are saying..."
Meng Shi said "ouch", stroked his palms and smiled: "Silly girl, you really don't know? But it's not your fault, it's all your aunt's fault that she only cared about helping Wei Yatou and her mother recently, and forgot to find an opportunity to tell you for a while. As he spoke, he looked around, and there were a few henchmen beside him, and then he smiled again, "It turned out that the aunt and wife told the old lady that day that she fell in love with you and wanted you to be her daughter-in-law, but the old lady didn't say anything, and the aunt and wife came to ask me again--- do you still need to ask, with Brother Rui'er's family background and appearance, it is exactly the right match for you, a little girl." ”
In an instant, if there were several rolling thunders, they exploded above Lu Jiayue's head.
She? Ding Rui? ... Daughter-in-law?
Lu Jiayue couldn't cry or laugh.
She remembered clearly that Ding Rui had a happy marriage in her previous life, but she had nothing to do with Ding Rui.
Why has everything changed now?
I don't know why the aunt's wife took a fancy to herself, that Ding Rui is the concubine of the princess, the nephew of the queen of the middle palace, and his status is noble, and he is just the daughter of a political envoy of the third grade, isn't it Gao Pan?
What's more, he has no intention of being a man or a woman towards Ding Rui, if he is married to Ding Rui like this, it will be a horizontal bar, and he will really ruin the happy marriage of others, and he will be punished.
Lu Jiayue hurriedly asked Meng: "How did my aunt reply to my aunt's wife?" ”
She knew that before her father Lu Mian left Beijing, he had entrusted all her affairs, including the matter of marriage, to her aunt Meng.
If Meng agrees, then eighty percent of the marriage will be decided.
Sure enough, Meng Shi smiled: "How else can I reply, naturally I nodded and agreed." ”
"Can't agree!" Lu Jiayue almost jumped up and waved her hand at Meng Shi, "Auntie, you can't agree!" ”
Meng Shi was startled, covered his chest and smiled: "--- you girl, are you stupidly happy, Brother Rui talks about family history and appearance, and it is difficult to find a second one in Kyoto City, I don't know how many girls in the prince's mansion are worried about him, this is also your aunt's wife's eye, and the old lady likes you, they mean to kiss and kiss, so they told me..."
Lu Jiayue was full of difficulties in her heart, but she couldn't speak, and she held back for a long time before she spit out a sentence.
"No matter how good he is, I can't look down on him, and I can't be a husband and wife!"
When Meng Shi heard this, he laughed, "You kid, your vision is so high, you can't even look down on Brother Rui'er's family background, who else can you look down on in the future?" ”
"This has nothing to do with identity and family background, if I don't look down on him as a person, only look at his family background, then am I married to him, or married to his family background? Could it be that I want to live with his family for the rest of my life? If one day, he loses this world, what will happen to me? ”
Lu Jiayue panicked, Gu Zi said something, and then saw that the eyes of Meng Shi and several maids fell on her, she felt ashamed, and her face turned red.
The eldest girl Chunxia quipped: "I never saw that our Miss Cousin is such a neat and able to speak, and what she said really makes sense." ”
"She doesn't understand anything, so she is petty, you still praise her," Meng Shi said lightly, and smiled at Lu Jiayue, "If this is the case, I am not in a hurry to change my words and refuse Mrs. Auntie, in February, the old lady is going to celebrate her birthday, and Mrs. Aunt will bring Brother Rui to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and then you will meet him again, get to know each other, and then you will make a conclusion, how about it?" ”
How is it? How else...
At this point, Lu Jiayue also knew that no matter what she said, Meng Shi would not listen to it, and if she wanted Meng Shi to change her mind at this moment, it would be even more impossible.
The only way to do this is to take one step at a time.
Lu Jiayue was depressed and unhappy, and suddenly remembered Qu Qian again.
No wonder she has been so hostile to herself recently, it turned out that it was all for Ding Rui.
When Qu Yi and Mrs. Qu mentioned Ding Rui's marriage that day, the third lady Huang was also on the side, presumably Qu Qian learned about it from her mother Huang.
Lu Jiayue let out a long sigh.
What kind of bad luck is this, something that didn't happen in her previous life, but now it's all coming at her, and it's just a matter of being messed up with the mandarin duck score, and it also makes her innocently humiliated by Qu Qian.
This has an indescribable bitter taste, but it is really uncomfortable.
*
In a blink of an eye, it is the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head.
The weather is getting clearer again, and the traces left by the last heavy snow are silently melting under the warm sun of early spring.
Just when winter turned to spring, the good news came from the court that Qu Hong and Qu Song, father and son, were promoted at the same time.
Qu Hong was promoted to the secretary of the Zhengerpin Household Department, and Qu Song was transferred from the General Administration Yuan to the cabinet and served as the Zhengliupin Minister.
Qu Hong has been the right servant of the household department for several years, and a few years ago because of the salt tax case, he was temporarily under the control of the household department, and now he was promoted to the head of the household department is also expected, and what really makes the people of the Qu family feel fortunate and surprised is the transfer of Qu Song's official position.
Qu Songyuan served as the governor of the Sixth Rank of the General Administration Yuan, and now he has been transferred to the Cabinet as a councilor, although the official rank is still the Sixth Rank, but how can the General Administration Yuan be compared with the Cabinet that holds the power of the government, but all the officials who can enter the Cabinet, regardless of their rank, have already stood at the center of power.
It is necessary to know how many officials in the court have been camping for several years, and they are even officials, but they can't even look at the door of the cabinet court.
In addition, in the three or four years of his tenure in the General Administration Yuan, he was cautious and thoughtful, and he was quite relied on by the political envoys in political affairs, and he also had a reputation for having both ability and political integrity in the court.
Now that he is only twenty-four or five years old, he has entered the cabinet, and it is conceivable what his future holds.
The whole Qu family was full of joy.
Lu Jiayue was also secretly happy.
Although they are all things that happened in the previous life, as long as Qu Hong and Qu Song's father and son stand more firmly in the court, the fate of the Qu family will be more likely to be changed in the future.
