Chapter 714: Happy Events Turn into Funerals
On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Zhanwei and Lu Feng went home together. Since Lu Feng was on an errand in the palace, he occasionally came to Donghui Courtyard to rest, and his relationship with Lu Man and the others has also taken a step further.
This time to crack down on the Zhao family, Lu Feng helped Jiang Zhanwei do a lot of secret things. Jiang Zhanwei has already hinted that when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be promoted to a seven-rank guard with a sword, specifically responsible for guarding the gate of Qianyi Palace. Qianyi Palace is the place where many emperors work and rest on weekdays, and the crown prince is working there now, and he will continue to be there after ascending the throne. And today's emperor likes to be quiet, so the place to work and rest is the Palace of Nourishing Heart.
Tomorrow is the day of Lu Chang's marriage, Jiang Zhanwei is busy, he will only go to drink the wedding wine in the evening, and Lu Feng will accompany Lu Man and others to Qujiang Town tomorrow morning.
He Xirui took Xiao He Xin to play here for a day and discussed going to Qujiang Town tomorrow. Ding Yuying also came, she has always regarded Lu Man's maiden family as her own maiden family, and her mother's family has something to do, of course, she is duty-bound. Moreover, she likes the freedom of Qujiang Town very much, and she also wants to have fun.
Therefore, He Chengxia came here, and Song Ming and Song Mo also came.
They are all relatives, and the banquet is placed in the dining room of the inner courtyard.
A few men drink at one table, and women and children drink at one table.
After the meal, the guests were sent away, and an appointment was made to meet outside the East City Gate at the beginning of tomorrow.
Jiang Zhanwei returned to the upper room, and Lu Man smiled, "I suddenly heard that Song Ming asked you to have a treat, what's the good thing?" β
Jiang Zhanwei said with a smile, "Before that happened, Song Ming shouted." He said softly, "The prince hinted that Commander Shang seems to have another important task......
It means that Jiang Zhanwei will be able to rise to the orthodox leader in the near future.
Lu Man also smiled, "Then I'll congratulate the third master first." β
Jiang Zhanwei acquiesced and said with a smile, "Madame is happy." β
At the beginning of the next morning, Lu Man was woken up by Mama Wang. Now that she has a big belly, Jiang Zhanwei has long prevented her from getting up early with him.
As soon as Lu Man finished washing, the old horse and Jiang Yue came. They were going to have breakfast here and then they would go together.
The old horse took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels and said, "This is a gift from Changting." β
Lu Man smiled, "Grandfather can give it directly to the Lu family." β
After they finished breakfast with Jiang Jiu and Lu Feng, they went out to take a carriage, Lu Feng rode a horse, and Lu Man still sat in a sedan chair. The little brothers were still sleeping, and the nurse wrapped them in a quilt and carried them into the carriage.
Outside the East City Gate, He Cheng's family of three, as well as Ding Yuying and Song Mo, were already waiting here. After several families gathered, they went to Qujiang Town together.
Arriving in Qujiang Town at the beginning of noon, He Cheng's family of three returned to Lu's house with Lu Feng, while Lu Man's family and Ding Yuying's mother and son went to Jiang's house.
After a few people washed up, they put on red clothes and red pants for the little brothers, and walked to Lu's house, and the little brothers will still go to the bed today.
The Lu family was full of lights and beaming, and the courtyard was filled with the woman's dowry. The dowry is sixty-four lifts, which is quite generous. The bride's family also rented a yard in the town, and the bride went there half a month ago to get married.
Lu Fangrong and Lu Chang, who were full of joy, were very happy to see that not only Lu Man's mother and son were here, but even the old concubine, Princess Hejun and Song Xiaogongzi were here, and they were very happy and felt that they had face.
Liu's belly is already very big, and her due date is only one month later than Lu Man, which is the month of Layue. She came over to welcome Lu Man, Ding Yuying and others into the upper room of the inner courtyard, Master Lu and Lu Yu, Lu Xue, and Lu Ke came, and Mrs. Lu wanted to accompany the old lady, but she didn't come.
It's a good thing that Mrs. Lu didn't come, otherwise I don't know what she would be looking for.
After dinner, Ding Yuying, who was full of energy, took the old concubine, Song Mo, and Jiang Yue to the town to play, and said that the bride would come back when she entered the door. Lu Man and the little brothers went to the West Wing where He Cheng's family lived.
Now, Lu Fangrong and his family live in the upper room, Lu Chang and his family live in the east chamber, He Cheng's family lives in the west chamber, and Lu Feng lives in the outer courtyard.
As soon as the door of the west chamber was closed, it blocked the noise outside the door.
At the beginning of Shen Shichu, Liu called the little brothers to the new house. The little brothers were now familiar with this errand, and as soon as they came, they stood by the bedside. With the sound of firecrackers outside, the bridegroom took the bride into the door.
The little brothers rolled out of bed with laughter, and the bride and groom entered the cave room.
The bride was very petite, only a little taller than Lu Chang's shoulders. But it looks very good, and when you purse your mouth, two big dimples appear, which is very pleasing.
It's almost time to start, Jiang Zhanwei hasn't come yet. Lu Fangrong's father and son were very anxious, and Lu Feng and Lu Ke from Dafang even went outside the town to greet them.
At three o'clock, Jiang Zhanwei finally came, and Jiang Zhanju, Jiang Zhankun, and Liu Shizi came together.
Lu Fangrong and Lu Chang were overjoyed, and everyone was seated.
After the meal, Lu Man and the others went home, and asked people to clean up three rooms in the outer courtyard for Jiang Zhanju, Jiang Zhankun, and Liu Shizi to live in. After that, Lu Man and Ding Yuying took the old children to the Qujiang River to watch the night view.
Ding Yuying whispered to Lu Man, "Sister, whenever I stand here, I will think of the song "Fengqiao Night Park" in my previous life. He chanted in a low voice, "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping." Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. β
Perhaps in order to respond to her, a few bells rang from the Baohe Temple on the other side of the river.
Lu Man smiled, "Me too." β
At this time, the river breeze was already very cold, and after watching it for more than a quarter of an hour, Mama Wang and the others persuaded the master to go back. Until Lu Man rested, Jiang Zhanwei did not come back. Every time he came to Qujiang Town, he would talk to those old subordinates until late at night.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Jiang Zhanwei, Jiang Zhanju, Jiang Zhankun, and Liu Shizi rode back to the capital to go to the government.
After breakfast, Lu Man and others went to Lu's house to recognize their relatives, and returned to the capital after dinner.
They sat down, and as soon as the bridegroom and bride entered the upper door, a small servant of the Lu family in the capital rode a fast horse.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and said, "The eldest master, the second master, the old lady is ugly at night, and the immortal is gone." β
These words frightened several people in the room. Master Lu, Lu Fangrong and others all cried, and hurriedly went back to the house to change into plain clothes, preparing to go back to the capital for the funeral. Several people in the Lu family's big house did not have plain clothes, so they temporarily borrowed Lu Fangrong's family.
In the blink of an eye, happy events turned into funerals.
Lu Man and the others all returned to Jiang's house. No matter how bad Mrs. Lu is, Lu Man and a few children will have to change into plain clothes. They changed their clothes and returned to the capital in a sedan carriage. Lu Man was pregnant, and he was not in a hurry to go to the funeral, so he walked slowly.
And Lu Fangrong and the others had already left first, and He Cheng's family also followed them.
As soon as the old lady dies, Master Lu will definitely be relieved of his official position. Lu Fangrong is a military attachΓ©, and Ding Wei will not be relieved of his official position and will be given a hundred days of leave.
Lu Man sighed, the three culprits who killed the original owner are all dead......
