Chapter 528: Be a man
On the 9th, 12th, and 15th of last month, the township test was held, and 16-year-old Lu Chang also participated. The Lu family is all scholars, and Lu Chang, who was young, was also admitted, but he was ranked lower, and Lu Fangrong meant that he would not be out next year, and he would wait until the next spring festival to take the exam.
Because Lu Fangrong has been on a secret mission, Lu Man couldn't talk to outsiders before, so she and the Lu family have never met, and these words are still said by Jiang Zhanwei.
The mother and daughter chattered and ushered in the first batch of guests, that is, the wife of the envoy of the high court, two daughters-in-law, and a daughter. After only half an hour of difference, the wife and a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law of the Fu court came, and Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang came with the Fu family.
Miss Yang has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, is not tall, speaks softly and glutinously, and has the softness of a southerner.
He liked it at first sight. She first wiped off the two jade bracelets on her wrist, gave them to Miss Gao and Miss Fu respectively as a greeting gift, and then took off a big crested hairpin with three cat eyes embedded in one big, two and three small cats from her head as a greeting gift to Miss Yang.
This was something she had prepared before, and the gifts were quite valuable, especially the crested hairpin. Mr. Gao and Mr. Fu are He Cheng's top bosses, and Miss Yang is the fiancée of Mr. Li.
Miss Yang was stunned, she didn't know whether she should accept such a valuable gift.
He said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Li is my father's favorite apprentice, and I have treated him as my own brother since I was a child. Hey, because my father died unjustly, and I went away to Shuzhong, he took care of Manman and Renhetang, and never married a daughter-in-law...... It's a piece of my heart. Now that he is finally married, I am happy and happy for my father. It's not that I'm boasting, my junior brother has a good temper, he learns well, and he takes care of his family, and whoever marries him will fall into the honeypot. ”
Shopkeeper Li has no family in the capital, and the He family represents the in-laws' parents.
Miss Yang took it with a red face.
Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Fu praised the shopkeeper Li for his benevolence and righteousness, and Mrs. Yang's laughter was still loud.
He's performance today really impressed Lu Man, how good these words are. It seems that not only women can be a man's school, but men can also be a woman's school. He married Zhao Mansion for a year, and became more and more able to be a person and speak.
Lu Man was also very courteous to this future little godmother, and took her to her backyard to visit the consultation room, ward, and operating room, and implicitly said some likes, dislikes and interesting things about Shopkeeper Li. The little girl was very interested, and her face blushed when she heard this.
During this period, the subordinates quietly came to report that Lu Fangrong was here, and he was accompanied by Jiang Zhanwei in the front yard.
The He family is here, and Zhao Yi is coming again in the evening, so he definitely can't leave Lu Fangrong here for dinner.
Lu Man saw that He was happy with the guests, so he got up and went to the front yard.
Lu Fangrong saw Lu Man coming, and said excitedly, "Manman, I went to Jiang Laoer's yamen today to beat him, if someone hadn't pulled him, I would not only have beaten him to the point where his head was bleeding, I would have beaten him so that he couldn't get out of bed for half a year." He is so bad, how can he treat his daughter-in-law like this......"
Lu Man was very moved, and today her mother and father came to help her find a venue.
Lu Man smiled and personally refilled him with a cup of tea, and several people talked for a while before sending Lu Fangrong away.
In the evening, Zhao Yi, Master Gao, Master Fu, Lord Yang, He Cheng, and Shopkeeper Li all came. The men were accompanied by Jiang Zhanwei and He Cheng to eat in the front yard, and the women and children were accompanied by Lu Man to eat in the main courtyard.
Drop off guests after the meal. He Cheng did not follow the He family to Zhao's house, and took half a day off tomorrow. Even though he knew that Liu Guogong would agree to this family affair, he still wanted to wait for news at home.
Because Lu Man was not free a few days ago, the matter of the dowry was handled by He and Mama Zeng, and it was almost ready, and the palace of the royal gift began to be renovated.
On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Guogong specially asked for leave to wait at home. At that time, the eldest princess, accompanied by Jiang Zhanwei and Lu Man, went to the Pingguo Mansion next door.
After a few words, the eldest princess expressed that Miss Liu Si was beautiful and intelligent, virtuous and virtuous, and He Cheng's elders liked it very much, and entrusted her to help talk about it.
Liu Guogong also said that after He Chengnai was a loyal minister, he had superb medical skills and a noble character, and they also liked it very much, and thanked the eldest princess for coming to meet in person.
In the end, of course, everyone was happy.
The sixth day of the first month of September was an auspicious day, and He Cheng entrusted the official media to go to Liu's mansion to formally marry Liu Xirui.
Liu Xirui will be nineteen years old next year, which is an older young woman in the contemporary era, and He Cheng will be eighteen years old next year, and she will not be young. Therefore, the process of the two went relatively fast, and it took more than half a month to finish the collection, asking for names, Najib, Najib, and the invitation period, and the two were officially scheduled to get married on July 20 next year.
During this period, a great happy event happened in the Great Chu Dynasty. On September 12, Concubine Zhao gave birth to a son for the old emperor, named Song Jin. The old emperor was happy and named Concubine Zhao a noble concubine. Because of the relationship between the crown prince, he posthumously presented the deceased Concubine Li as the queen of virtuous virtue.
Min Si's grandmother also gave birth to a daughter on September 14, named Min Jiafang, Sister Fang. This made Min Jiaming very proud, because Xie Kaipei and Jiang Yue only had younger brothers, while he had a fragrant younger sister.
This made Xie Kaipei and Jiang Yue, who went to participate in Sister Fang's third banquet, feel envious, jealous and hateful, and made trouble for their mothers to add a sister to themselves soon.
Lu Man hadn't seen Grandma Xie for a few days, and the two had been whispering in Grandma Min's bedroom.
Lu Man learned a hot news, Xie Yu was depressed, and actually took a concubine.
When Grandma Xie said this, her eyes were red.
Grandma Min Si persuaded, "Master Xie is already good, an official of his size is thirty years old this year, and he has only accepted a concubine." Where is it like the master of my family, who is twenty-three years old this year, has two concubines and two intercourse. Those women, you see them as things......"
Lu Man sighed. Xie Yu is the eldest brother that Jiang Zhanwei admires, and he is also the person he has always admired. At the beginning, he swore that he would be good to Grandma Xie, but now he hugged another woman to sleep...... Perhaps in his opinion, taking a concubine is not bad for his wife.
I heard that Mr. Xie's health was not very good, and Lu Man was distressed again. She specially sent someone back to the house to ask the eldest princess, and when she went home in the evening, she took a detour to Xie Mansion to see the old man.
The old man has some cerebral infarction, but it's not too powerful. Lu Man prescribed medicine to him, in addition to some decoctions, he also prescribed salicylylated pills, and said the precautions in life.
On September 21, Jiang Zhanwei took his wife, three children, sister, and old horse to his home in Qujiang Town.
Yes, this time the old colt also went. He struggled to play with his granddaughter-in-law. Not only did he quarrel with the eldest princess for a long time, but he also made a special guarantee to Jiang Zhanwei that he would not scold him in the future.
Jiang Zhanwei and Lu Man didn't want to take him, but the eldest princess agreed, so she had to grit her teeth and take that old trouble.
