Chapter 117 The Lu family marries a daughter

Since the news spread that the eldest Sun Xian was reprimanded by Mrs. Zhou Guo, the Errong Poetry Society was also implicated, and the chief Sun Xian and others closed their doors at home, and the original half-monthly gathering, the number of attendees dropped sharply, and the flower and grass critic ballads sung by the Beijing people smeared the Errong Poetry Society, and gradually the young ladies and ladies who were proud of themselves as members of the Poetry Society quietly withdrew, and in the end, the activities related to the Poetry Society disappeared, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they exist in name only.

However, the women's assembly in Chang'an City, not only the Errong Poetry Society, just when the other side ended dismally, the gathering of some older women was still going on as usual, and many people noticed that the third lady of the eldest grandson family, who rarely appeared, has been attending some banquets very frequently recently, because she is different from her eldest sister's arrogant attitude, but she was quickly accepted into some circles.

On this day, a group of idle women made an appointment to Chengyun Taoist Temple to enter the incense, and the eldest grandson Xi was also invited, this Taoist temple is located in the north of the city, and it is quite effective to ask for a son to seek marriage, so it is very popular with girls and women.

After the incense was put on and the sign was untied, a group of women went to the garden in the backyard to sit in the garden that had been taken care of in advance, chatted and chatted, and then talked about the "Clan Chronicles" that would be revised in front of them.

"Those people with five surnames have always regarded themselves very highly, and when they marry a daughter, they just want to go to half of other people's property as a dowry, but there are still people who rush to send it, and this time they are demoted to the third class, I am afraid that these five surnames will no longer be able to look above the top as before."

After saying this, they ushered in a burst of laughter, no wonder they would gloat, the previous five surnames because of the surname of the superior, self-reliance on the status of the nobility, to other scholars are not fake colors, but also through marriage to ask for money, so that some people who want to get close to the five surnames are discouraged, and now they are stripped of the grade, it can be said that in addition to the red eyes of the people are a heart disease.

Changsun Xi smiled and took a sip of tea, but didn't interject, and sat back and watched them continue to chat:

"In this way, those who married women with five surnames in the past, if they didn't pay a dowry, it's okay, but if they really made a huge appointment, they only married a third-class - hey, isn't this a big loss."

"Huh? King Wei's marriage is not scheduled for the beginning of next month, the one he wants to marry is not the young lady of the Lu family. ”

"If you want me to say, Lord Wei is unlucky enough, just turn a good first class into a third class, I still listen, this Miss Lu and that Lord Du are a little unclear."

"Lord Du, which Lord Du?"

Looking at the curiosity on the faces of several people, the eldest grandson Xi smiled silently, and heard someone explain, "It's the Duke of Du who attacked the Duke of Lai, don't you know, it is said that the painting that Lord Du took to send Miss Lu was accepted by Kui Xinglou, and he bought it back at a sky-high price a while ago, and there is a poem by Miss Lu on the painting, and there is lovesickness and sorrow in the poem, heh, what does this mean, you still need to guess." ”

There was a moment of surprise around him, and someone widened his eyes and said, "This is true, then King Wei still wants to marry?" ”

"Before, I thought I had married a woman surnamed Lu, but I had hired all of them, and the emperor personally pointed out the marriage, so I couldn't regret it. It's a pity that such a figure who is both civil and military has ended up with this family. ”

Hearing the sighs of the women, Changsun Xi said in a timely manner, "I can't say that, although Miss Lu was born in the countryside, since she recognized the lineage of Huai Guogong and was a hero, she worked on poetry and books, took the woodcarving of the five academies, and had the scenery of the third lady Tian Lu when she was in the middle of the house, and she was also a rare talented woman." As for her affair with Master Du, most of them were misinformation. ”

Few people don't know the grievances between the eldest grandson's family and the Lu family of Huaiguo Gong, and when they heard the eldest grandson Xi protect each other like this, and his words were earnest, he looked up to her a few points, and subconsciously resisted Miss Lu, who had never met, and some people laughed out loud:

"Whether it's true or not, at the beginning of the month of the Wei Palace's wedding banquet, we must go, and when the time comes, let's see how the pomp and circumstance of this Lu family girl is, they all say that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and I think it is no worse than the royal family."

As soon as her words fell, someone sneered, it was the one who explained who "Master Du" was before, and when she saw that everyone looked at her suspiciously, she covered her lips and said:

"I'm afraid that you will be disappointed when the time comes, this Miss Lu is not an orthodox Lu family woman, Chang'an Lu Mansion is not as good as it used to be, I won't hide it from you, there is a woodworking workshop in this eastern metropolis that is my aunt's family, I heard that Miss Lu's family, not long ago, ordered two sets of furniture there, which are for dowry."

Everyone was amazed, when even someone inhaled and said, "No, it's shabby."

This voice is what everyone thinks, but all the scholars with status are to use good wood to make furniture for the daughter to be married in the family early, no one would have thought that this young lady with the surname Lu, the family would go outside to order ready-made furniture as a dowry, isn't it shabby and what?

A few women chattered about this, with the intention of waiting to see a good show, and Changsun Xi listened on the sidelines, with a smile on his face, but he suddenly had some expectations for the big wedding at the beginning of the month.

I don't know what the movement in the capital is, Puzhenyuan here, received a message from Han Li from Chang'an City, saying that Han Shiyu had been found, and the father and daughter had something to do to stay in the capital for two days before going back, and the Lu family was relieved.

On March 27, she got up early in the morning, and last night she received a report from Xianmalay, saying that the people from Yangzhou had arrived in Xiguan and would arrive this morning at the latest.

Yi Yu also got up early, first went to the study to wrap the Tao Te Ching she copied in front of her in kraft paper, sent Yu Tong to the Wei Wangfu to Li Tai, had breakfast with the Lu family, went back to the room to pack up carefully, took the chess book, and went to the front hall to sit with the Lu family and wait for someone.

The sun rose slowly, the long door shadow cast into the living room was shortened, the carpets, doors and walls were swept clean, several vases were polished, and even the crazy flower-faced raccoon dog was caught and washed by the maids, and the sun was basking by the door frame with a black and shiny fur.

Lu put down the needle and thread in his hand, paced in the hall, and looked out from time to time, and there was a long road leading to the door in front of the door, and there was no one in sight.

"Miss, the soup is ready." Chen Qu walked in with a plate and put it down on the table, Pingtong opened the white porcelain jar and poured a small half into the bowl, the black-brown soup was emitting a special white smoke, she took the spoon and stirred it for a while, before handing it to Yu Yu with a handkerchief.

Yi Yu put down the chess game, looked at the Lu family who was still walking around in front of him, and said with a smile, "Mother, you rest your feet and drink soup first." ”

There are many prescriptions for Angelica soup, although this payment does not use any precious medicinal materials, the medicine can be used is really complicated, with deflated nails, aconitum aconitum, white poria and other substances, it is to cure fatigue, cold and heat, limbs thin, replenish qi and regulate yin.

Lu Shi drank with Yiyu for a few days, and felt that his spirit and complexion were greatly improved, and when he heard her joke, he pressed his heart and took the bowl and sat down next to her.

"It's almost noon, why haven't you come yet, isn't there something on the road that has delayed you?"

"Probably not, just wait," Yi Yu appeased the Lu family, but she was not as worried as she was, that is, the people from the south could not arrive in time, and they were not worried that they would not be able to get the dowry, but the thickness was different.

"Coming, coming" Lu's soup was only halfway drunk, when he heard a long voice coming from afar, and two figures hurriedly ran over in front of the door, and before they approached, they pulled their throats and said:

"Madame, Mademoiselle, they are in town, and they are walking to the garden."

Lu Shi was overjoyed, almost threw the bowl on the table, lifted the hem of his clothes and walked out quickly, only when he walked to the door did he remember to turn around, and urged Yiyu, "Go, go, go with my mother to meet your aunt." ”

Yi Yu responded to her with a smile, and stepped forward to hold the Lu family, and the mother and daughter walked towards the door together.

The main gate was wide open, and the steps in front of the door were also paved with wooden planks to facilitate the passage of carriages and horses, and a few of the housekeepers who had been washed and cleaned had already been instructed by the steward to stand outside the door with their sleeves rolled, waiting to carry things later.

Lu Shi was worried and asked Xiaoman to go to the backyard to see if the prepared yard was properly taken care of, and then urge the kitchen to hurry up and cook, and wait for her second sister to catch the wind.

After the tea, I saw that outside the hawthorn forest in front of the garden, there were traces of carriages and horses one after another, and the sound of rolling wheels gradually approached, from the perspective of the first carriage that appeared in the Yu Yu, her arm was clenched by the Lu family, and when the long and long convoy without the end of the car went up the hill in front of the house, it was clear that one of the large boxes on the frame of the car was tired, and some were also covered with rain cloths.

The first few carriages stopped in front of the house, and Lu Shi pulled Yi Yu up a few steps, and was just telling which car Lu Jingshan was sitting in, when he saw a curtain open, and a woman in a yellow dress and green clothes jumped down and strode towards them:

"Lan Niang"

"Second Sister"

Yi Yu let go of Lu's arm, and watched the two sisters reunite with joy on the side, a smile hung in the corner of her eyes, and her afterglow flashed, and she saw a middle-aged man in a green shirt and white hexagram jumping off the carriage, about forty years old, looking quite shrewd, with two mustaches on his lips, medium height, slightly rich, because of the dust on the road overnight, she guessed in her heart that this was the uncle Fang Hang who had never met.

Seeing that the two of them were about to cry when they held hands and said a few words, they stepped forward to interrupt:

"Yu'er has seen her aunt."

"Okay, good, they've grown so big," Lu Jingshan let go of the Lu family, hurriedly helped up the widow who saluted her, pulled her up and looked her up and down, then hugged her tightly in her arms, patted her shoulder, and said with tears in her eyes, "Good boy, I have heard about the family affairs, and you have suffered in the past two years." ”

Yi Yu only thought that she was talking about Lu Zhi's murder, but I don't know if Lu Jingshan was referring to the incident or after the incident, Lu Rongyuan Lu Rong and the two brothers "kicked her" out of the house, so they hugged her backhand and whispered:

"I'm fine, isn't that good?"

"Something so big, you're alone-"

"Jingshan," Fang Hang spoke out at the right time, interrupting Lu Jingshan's words, stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, squeezed his eyes at her, signaling her not to forget herself, Yu Yu turned her head and saw that this uncle who had changed his way to business was interesting, and the sadness that had just started was gone.

"Look at me, come, Yu'er, this is your uncle." Lu Jingshan turned around with her arms around the jade, glared at Fang Hang with a smile in her eyes, and said, "This is my niece, there is only one such baby in the family, you don't have to be stingy." ”

If outsiders want to hear it, when she says the wrong thing, don't say Lu Shuqing, there is still Lu Ze's little guy in the second room, but Fang Hang obviously knows the secrets of the Lu family, so he naturally stretched into his cuffs, took out a vacancy, patted his forehead, and said:

"It's broken, maybe it's in the inn."

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the Lu family knows Fang Hang, and hurriedly said to Lu Jingshan, "What else are we polite, you guys are tired of traveling, come and rest first." ”

Lu Jingshan didn't comply, and scolded Fang Hangdao with a smile, "Which one are you fooling, don't take it out quickly, otherwise you will eat my fists and feet." ”

Yi Yu saw that his husband and wife were joking and unscrupulous, and the husbands and wives on different sides followed the rules, so they had the meaning of intimacy. Fang Hang laughed, took it out in his arms again, and took out a small box of gold and handed it to her.

"Thank you, uncle." Yi Yu shouted generously, opened the box and looked, and saw a black and shiny bead the size of a plum lying in the heart of the box.

"Take it," Fang Hang saw the little niece's hesitation, and said with a smile, "Your aunt is a layman, so if you don't take advantage of wearing beads, it's better to play with them." ”

Lu Jingshan took a sip of him and said, "You are a wealth fan, you are really a layman." ”

"Take it." Lu's Road.

There are few girls of such a size who do not like jewelry, and when she saw that her mother had opened her mouth, Yu Yu did not twist it anymore, and happily put away her things, which noticed some people coming down from the other carriages.

"The little one has seen Madame, Miss." Yiyu still remembers that the man who is over forty years old, Mr. Lu, the head of the Yangzhou industry, is called Lu Dong, and when the family was separated, he left the piece of Yangzhou to her as a dowry according to the will, and Lu Dong became her person.

"Lu Dong," Lu Jingshan instructed, "a few of you are waiting here, wait for the unloading to be carefully counted, and give the list to your young lady later." ”

Seeing that the manager didn't respond, Yi Yu turned his head to look at her, and subconsciously nodded at him, and the other party bowed down and said "yes", and naturally went to recruit the family of Puzhenyuan to answer the back.

The Lu family was about to lead them inside, when they heard Lu Jingshan drop a thunderbolt, "Lan Niang, we have moved here from Yangzhou, and we will stay with you for the time being, don't be too troublesome." ”

"What?" Lu's tongue knotted, "Then, what about that mother?" ”

"Let's go inside."

Lu Jingshan affectionately took Lu Shi and Yi Yu to the house, and was not polite, Yu Yu turned his head to look at Fang Hang, and saw that he was talking to the two women who were carried down by the maid in the carriage behind, looking at their women's dress, he vaguely guessed that this was Fang Hang's two-room concubine room.

Lu Shi had already told her that Lu Jingshan had no children under her knees, and she had a good relationship with her husband, so she took the initiative to help Fang Hang take a few concubines, and wanted to leave a queen for their Fang family, but somehow, after all these years, not a single child was born, and no one could tell why.

These two concubines are dressed in a proper manner, but they are much younger than Lu Jingshan, they are about twenty years old, and their appearance is also good, they are all gentle and graceful women in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, when Fang Hang talked to them, the smile on his face was very gentle, and when he looked at it, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he walked to the front hall and still thought in a trance, if this matter was replaced by her and Li Tai, would she be so generous to help him take a concubine?

The answer is naturally no, she is actually very selfish.

The Lu family set up a banquet for her sister to pick up the wind, and after a deep conversation at the dinner table, she realized that Lu Jingshan and his wife would move from Yangzhou, or Mrs. Lu's meaning, she said that after the widow got married, there was only one person left in the Lu family, so it was better to ask their sisters to have a companion.

Fang Hang is the only son in the family, his father was also an official in the court, his ancestor was a gentry in Guanzhong, Lu Zhongzhi took the family to Jiangnan to recruit troops for Li Shimin, Fang Hang was sent by Fang's father to follow, and after the Xuanwumen incident, because the Fang family had close relatives with King An, they were suppressed one after another, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Fang's father died of illness, Fang Hang did not return to Beijing, and settled in Yangzhou with the Lu family.

Lu Jingshan originally wanted to bring the old lady over, but she was refused, the distance was far away, the old man was unbearable, and there were old people in Yangzhou who had been with the Lu family for decades waiting for her, so she didn't force it.

As for Lu Rongyuan, Lu Rong and the two brothers, the old lady didn't say a word, and she didn't even call a word of peace to piggyback, in Lu Jingshan's words, it was the old lady who was angry that the two sons didn't take good care of the Lu family and the two sons, and didn't want to pay attention to them.

Compared with Lu Jingshan's indignation, the Lu family is obviously much calmer, she doesn't blame the two brothers, after all, if you talk about who owes whom, they have been looking for her mother and son for more than ten years, which is really an unclear account.

Lu Jingshan was afraid that the mention of Lu Zhi and Lu Jun would cause tears again, so she endured it and didn't say any more. After the meal, Yi Yu took the two elders to the other courtyard to rest, and the Lu family knew that they were going to live here for a long time, so they asked people to clean up the entire courtyard before the meal.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiangxiang came from her mother-in-law's house, and Lu Jingshan saw her at dinner, and she had already heard Lu say a few times about this righteous daughter, and now she has only seen people, everyone is not a childish woman, and she became familiar with it after a meal, and called Liu Xiangxiang to call her aunt with the widow.

After dinner, several women moved to the garden to talk in the shade, Lu Dong was led by Pingtong to look for the missing jade, hit the dowry sent by Yangzhou, it took half a day to finish counting, handed over the list, took it in his hand and read it roughly, around the left jade saw that the long and tailless convoy was already mentally prepared, or couldn't help but gasp, ignoring the questioning gaze of the Lu family on the side and Lu Jingshan covered his mouth and snickered, stared at Lu Dong with round eyes and said:

"This is all left to me by my grandfather?"

Lu Zheng thought for a while, and said respectfully: "Miss Hui's words, Yangzhou still has some people left to serve the old lady, and some shops and fields are not easy to sell, except for the bits and pieces, that's basically it." ”

"Poof", Lu Jingshan looked at Yi Yu's surprised appearance, couldn't help laughing, thinking of the rumors and rumors on those letters she received earlier, saying that her niece was not worthy of the King of Wei, she suddenly became annoyed again, slapped one hand on the stone table, raised her slender eyebrows and said stiffly:

"Our orthodox five surnamed Lu family marrying daughters, how can they be compared to those side branches who extort money and goods, the old man is only a granddaughter like you, this dowry list began to be drawn up ten years ago, how can ordinary people think that even the royal princess will have to make them ashamed"
