Qu Song heard the deep meaning in Ding Can's words, and was about to ask again, when a few male guests came up to toast, pushed each other, and then got mixed up.

After the feast was dispersed, the guests left one after another.

Qu Song sent Ding Can out, Qu Zhang went back to the study, and Ding Rui followed behind Qu Yi, but as for Qu Rong, he was nowhere to be found.

Liang Hao was standing under the porch talking to Qu Hong.

I don't know what to say, Qu Hong smiled from time to time, and Liang Hao on the side looked respectful and modest.

It seems that Liang Hao has passed the level of Cousin Song, and now it is his uncle's turn to think about it.

Lu Jiayue secretly rejoiced in her heart, and looked at Qu Ying again.

Qu Ying and Liang Wan stood under the banana tree in the courtyard, holding hands and whispering. It's just Qu Ying's gaze, but he looks down the corridor from time to time.

As if he was afraid of being discovered, he only glanced at it, and his eyes were taken back without a trace.

Lu Jiayue pursed her lips and smiled quietly.

*

Sent Mrs. Qu back to the upper room, because it was still early, Lu Jiayue went to Meng's house.

Meng Shi changed into a homely autumn-colored silk satin jacket, sat on the soft couch and drank tea, and when he saw Lu Jiayue coming in, he sent all the maids in the house out.

Lu Jiayue knew that Meng had something to say.

Sure enough, Meng Shi put aside the teacup, sighed softly, and said, "Mrs. Fang just told me something..."

"But is the marriage that was being discussed dismissed?" Lu Jiayue smiled lightly.

Meng's eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Lu Jiayue, "How did you know this little girl?" ”

"I guess." Lu Jiayue blinked.

"Eccentric," Meng couldn't help but laugh, "you now have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet." ”

Lu Jiayue just smiled and didn't speak.

Meng Shi explained the matter to Lu Jiayue in detail.

It turned out that according to Meng's meaning, I wanted Lu Jiayue and Ding Rui to meet again today, and then quickly set the marriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as Qu Yi came, he invited Meng and Mrs. Qu to a no-man's place, saying that the marriage mentioned last time was too many to count. According to Qu Yi, Ding Rui also promised her before, and she was in charge of the marriage, and after returning from Qufu on the second day of the first lunar month, she asked Ding Rui what he meant, and Ding Rui also agreed. But after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ding Rui changed his mind a little, and a few days ago, he directly told Qu Yi that he wanted to cancel the marriage that was being discussed.

Lu Jiayue knew the reason, Meng Shi didn't know, and she was very sorry in her romance: "Brother Rui, this child is really good to me, his family background is good, his temperament is good, we are all relatives, kiss and kiss, isn't it a good thing?" It's good now, I don't know which blessed girl will marry him in the future and enjoy his happiness. ”

Naturally, it's the girl surnamed Xia.

Lu Jiayue thought so in her heart, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Marriage is destined by nature, it is all in charge of Yue Lao, why should my aunt worry about Yue Lao Bai, besides, I am still young, are you afraid that I will not be able to marry in the future?" ”

Meng Shi smiled and gently stroked Lu Jiayue's cheek, "Little girl, I am sorry for you for such a good marriage." As he spoke, he sighed again, and said with dissatisfaction, "The old lady too, I see how much I love you and love you on weekdays, as soon as the aunt and wife spoke, I was not happy, but the old lady seemed to be indifferent, and said that everyone has their own fate, so I don't have to mind--- I can see it, in her eyes, I may still feel that you are not worthy of Brother Rui." ”

Lu Jiayue knew that Mrs. Qu loved her sincerely, and as for why Mrs. Qu was not optimistic about her marriage to Ding Rui, there must be reasons that she did not know.

But you can't complain about Mrs. Qu because of this.

Lu Jiayue hurriedly said to Meng Shi: "You can't say that about the old lady, her old man loves me enough on weekdays, and I still feel ashamed of it, in the marriage of this man and woman, I can't let her old man worry about me anymore." ”

Meng Shi recalled the past situation, and felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but the aunt and wife are also very sorry in her heart, and feel that she can't stand you, she also said that the matter of asking to marry you for Brother Rui has been spread all over the family, and now it is suddenly dispelled, although there is no hindrance, in the end, you are a girl's family, and you have to take care of your face, so let me tell a lie, and only say that it is because you look down on Brother Rui that this marriage was dismissed." ”

Although Lu Jiayue had no intention of Ding Rui, she was also grateful to Qu Yi for thinking so well about her face.

No wonder after the morning came, Qu Yi only took her hand and said a few homely words, at that time she felt that Qu Yi looked a little strange, it turned out that she felt sorry for her because she wanted to cancel the marriage.

Qu Yi couldn't imagine that in fact, Lu Jiayue also wanted to cancel this marriage.

It's just that Ding Rui made his words clear first.

Meng felt sorry, but Lu Jiayue was relieved.

But this burden was relieved for only a moment, and then I heard Meng Shi say again: "It is said that Mrs. Aunt and I are the best, and naturally I also love you, although your marriage with Brother Rui did not work, she said that she must find a good marriage for you in the future to make up for it." ”

*

Another seven or eight days passed, and on this morning, Lu Jiayue went to the upper room of Mrs. Qu to say hello, and heard Mrs. Qu talking to Mrs. Fang about Mrs. Yang's head wind.

It was said that Dr. Wei of Tai Hospital had returned to Beijing two days ago and went to Yang's house to treat Mrs. Yang, and only after these two days, Mrs. Yang's head stroke had been relieved.

Because that day in the Yang Mansion, Mrs. Qu went to visit Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang was careful, afraid that Mrs. Qu was worried about her heart, and as soon as Mrs. Yang improved, she sent someone to tell Mrs. Qu.

Mrs. Qu was pleased.

Because their mothers are aunts and cousins, they have also been playmates since childhood, and later became wives.

Lu Jiayue heard the news, but it was the central matter.

It seems that the King of Jin believed her, and then took action to relieve the siege of Imperial Doctor Wei, so that Mrs. Yang could temporarily live.

Yang Tinghe is still the first assistant, and Sun Bingyuan still has to succumb to Yang Tinghe.

This can be regarded as temporarily suppressing the power of King Wei, but she does not feel happy at all.

The King of Wei is still powerful, and this time the King of Jin has made a move, indicating that he intends to compete with the King of Wei for the position of the East Palace.

She has a long road ahead and still has a lot of things to plan. And the most important thing at the moment is to find an opportunity to meet King Jin again.

Presumably, at this time, King Jin was suspicious of her move to reveal the news... There are some words that can only be explained clearly in person.

What's more, the decision she made should also be told to King Jin as soon as possible.

But how can I see King Jin again?

Lu Jiayue secretly thought hard, but her face was still well-behaved, and she accompanied Mrs. Qu to talk and laugh.

After sitting for a while, suddenly the maid who was talking outside hurriedly ran in and said with a smile: "Old lady, the birthday gift sent by the second aunt has arrived!" ”

Old Madam Qu suddenly smiled happily and said busily: "Was it sent back by the people around Ying Yatou?" Come on, come on in. ”

The maid answered, and trotted out again.

Fang smiled at Old Madam Qu and said, "My little sister is in her early thirties, and you are the only one who still calls her Ying. ”

"She is a hundred years old, and she is also my girl." Old Madam Qu smiled and couldn't help but look outside the banquet.

Fang smiled again: "That's because you love your little sister, your little sister also has filial piety, just for your birthday, she also sent people back from afar to give birthday gifts, the sons and daughters of the family are filial, and the old lady is the most blessed." ”

Old Madam Qu pointed at Fang's with her hand, and said with a smile: "Coax me to be happy again, you want me to praise you, don't you?" That's it, you are also a filial person, no worse than Ying Yatou. ”

The Ying girl in Mrs. Qu's mouth is her biological daughter, the second aunt of the Qu family, Qu Ying.

Qu Ying's husband's family is also from Kyoto, but before Lu Jiayue lived in the Qu family, Qu Ying had gone to Lanzhou Mansion with her husband and never returned to Beijing for several years, so Lu Jiayue had never met her in her previous life.

After a while, the maids brought in a woman dressed as a housekeeper's lady.
