Chapter 970: Unthinkable

After two or three years, they have earned enough money and dowry, and they can change careers, which has no impact on their innocence at all, let alone delay their marriage.

After more than a month of preparation, the little girl has received more than a dozen of them and has been practicing, but there is a lack of a capable female housekeeper to take care of them.

Jiayin intends to ask the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion to help find a grandmother, after all, if you want to enter and leave the back houses of each family, the housekeeper must always know some rules......

After talking for a while, Caiyun took two boxes of snacks and happily went back with good news......

When night falls, the Earl's Court in the new capital is rarely lively.

In the past few days, the young lady and the children have lived in Broken Gold Beach, and the house is inevitably deserted.

But today, not only the uncle and the third master are back, but even the young masters are also feasting.

The lanterns under the eaves of the porch swayed in the evening breeze, according to the comings and goings of the maids and maids, and also according to the frying and cooking in the stove.

Li Lao Er went to write official documents after dinner, and Li Lao San was idle and had nothing to do, so he walked around the house.

He went into the city to buy today, and after a moment's delay, he came back for one night and returned to the academy tomorrow morning.

At this moment, seeing that his nephew's study was brightly lit, he asked the little guy who delivered the tea out of curiosity.

"What kind of guests is the eldest young master inviting today, it sounds very lively?"

The little guy hurriedly responded, "If you go back to the third master, the eldest young master will drink happy wine with Jia Gongzi and Lu Shizi." The emperor decreed that the third princess and Lu Shizi should be married, and Lu Shizi would be a concubine.

"Lu Shizi Xu was so happy, so he and Jia Gongzi came to the eldest young master for a drink."

Li Laosan frowned when he heard this, remembering the scene he had seen before, and he didn't feel very solid in his heart.

So, he found an excuse and asked the little guy to call Jiaren out.

Jiaren was talking to Jia Xu and Lu Zong, and when he saw that Lu Zong had drunk a pot of wine and grabbed a second pot, he was about to stop him.

As a result, before he could speak, the little maid came to knock on the door, "Young Master, the third master said that he wanted to ask you for a few Mongolian books." It seems that there are peasant children in the town who are talented, but they can't go to the school, so the third master plans to help. ”

Jiaren didn't doubt it, so he quickly got up and said to Jia Xu and Lu Zong, "You guys drink, I'll take a look." My third uncle rarely bothered the family, and this is the first time he speaks, maybe there is something difficult about it. ”

With that, he went out.

Li Laosan walked around the door, saw his nephew, pulled him to a secluded place, and asked, "Jiaren, Lu Shizi was married today, and he wants to be the son of the world." That's a good thing! But why didn't he celebrate at home and come to our house to drink? ”

Jiaren was stunned for a moment, he got along very well with Jia Xu and Lu Zong on weekdays, and he was almost the same as brothers of the opposite sex.

Just now, Lu Zong and Jia Xu came over, and when it came to marriage, he directly ordered to prepare wine and food, and he didn't think much about it.

"The third uncle thinks ...... What's wrong? Jiaren asked tentatively.

Li Laosan hesitated for a moment, then motioned for him to step forward and whispered a few words.

Jiaren's brows furrowed more and more when he heard this, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Third uncle, this ...... It's impossible! Not to mention anything else, even the age is too different! ”

Li Laosan is down-to-earth and does his duty, and he is gossiping behind his back, he also feels that he can't go away, rubs his hands, and whispers, "I'm also afraid that I'm wrong, so I'll tell you and let you pay more attention." In short, no matter how well friends get along, they can't be closer than their sisters. ”

"Third uncle, don't worry, I know this." Jiaren endured his anxiety and comforted the third uncle, "You can go back and rest, I will deal with it." ”

Li Laosan nodded, patted his nephew on the shoulder and turned back.

Jiaren stood in the night, and it took him a long time to return to his study.

Jia Xu was already half drunk, his face was flushed, and when he saw Jiaren coming back, he said with a big tongue, "I won't do it, this guy is too good at drinking!" Find a room, let me squint for a while, and you can drink with him. ”

This is in line with Jiaren's heart, and he immediately called Zheng Yi and a few to help Jia Xu go to the guest room to sleep.

For a while, only Lu Zong and Jiaren were left in the house.

Jiaren raised his hand and sandwiched a chopstick sauce meat for Lu Zong, and said as if casually gossiping, "Don't just drink wine, come, eat some food." The recipe for this sauce meat is something that my sister has been pondering for a long time, and I dare say that it is also a unique delicacy when looking at the whole Tianwu. ”

Lu Zong immediately put down his wine glass, ate the sauce meat, and praised in a low voice, "The county lord is smart and ingenious, this sauce meat is really delicious." ”

Jiaren's heart sank more and more, but he still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't see any change.

"Of course, my sister's intelligence, but the emperor admits it, otherwise I can't insist on summoning my sister into the palace to be a companion to the third princess. The emperor just thinks that the third princess is too rude, and asks my sister to help take care of it! ”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Lu Zong, and joked, "The third princess is much more dignified and stable than before, and now she has been married to you again, so you should thank my sister well." ”

Lu Zong's heart jumped, and he slowly looked up at Jiaren with the last shred of hope, but saw that he had already smiled, and his eyes were full of coldness and sharpness.

The grievances and unwillingness in the sky swept like waves, and Lu Zong wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word.

However, Jiaren didn't seem to see his pain, bowed his head and poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Brother Lu, you also know that my sister is the treasure of our whole family, and she has not suffered any grievances.

"You are the same age as me, more than ten years older than her, although you are not your own brother, but for so many years, as long as there are good things, my sister has never left your share.

Now, your marriage has a share of the credit of my sister, how can you back up and thank her! ”

Lu Zong squeezed the wine glass in his hand, and his mouth was bitter and couldn't open it.

He naturally knew that what he wanted in his heart could not be achieved from the beginning.

But people are so strange, they know everything in their minds, but their hearts are just running towards a desperate road, and they can't hold it.

The elf-like girl, every smile seemed to be engraved in his soul.

She is like a little sun, everywhere she goes, there is warmth and laughter.

Every time he guarded the deserted mansion and spent countless days and nights, he couldn't help but imagine that if he could join hands with her, life would be much more interesting.

She would cook delicious meals, talk and laugh with him, and accompany him to see the beauty of the world.

And he will also take care of her with all his heart and hold up a windless and rainless sky for her......

But when the dust settled, he was no longer reconciled, and he could only accept his fate.

He answered in a hoarse voice word by word, "Don't worry, county lord...... In the future, it will be my own sister, and I will definitely thank her. ”

Jiaren raised his head and clinked glasses with him, and finally felt a little unbearable in his heart, and persuaded in a low voice, "People live in the world, and they can't do what they want." The eldest husband has the world in his heart, so why bother with his children. ”

Lu Zong didn't respond, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, choking on tears......

After seven or eight days, the flower-viewing banquet of the Earl's Court finally began, and at three o'clock in the morning, the ladies of each family took the invitation cards and came to the door one after another.
