Chapter 70: A belated apology

Higashiyu-in

Yang Qiaoyue sent Lu back to the room.

Lu Shi blamed herself, if it weren't for her poor health and weak temperament. These things should have been done by her, the lady of the four-room room, at night, but now all the pressure and responsibility are on her daughter's shoulders.

Yang Qiaoyue looked at her mother's bitter face, knew what she was thinking, and helped her rub her shoulders.

"Mother, you don't have to blame yourself, this is nothing to me."

Lu Shi knew that his daughter was really comforting herself, "Alas, you will always have to marry in the future, I am afraid that this reputation will drag you down." How could a scholarly family want a woman who showed up and did business. ”

"Mother, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to say this. If you are taboo about this taboo and that, it must not be a good person, rather than marrying someone else to suffer, it is better to guard my mother, it is difficult for my mother to kick me out of the house. ”

Lu Shi nodded Yang Qiaoyue's forehead: "If that's the case, I'll kick you out." ”

That being said, her eyes were full of distress, and she didn't have to suffer her daughter.

Yang Qiaoyue didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she turned around and said, "Mother, now that my aunt is grounded, Yang Chen and Orchid's two younger sisters are no one to teach, how do you think it can be arranged?" ”

Mentioning this problem, Lu Shi was worried: "It's not good to learn from me, I can't teach people." The etiquette and schooling of the girls in the family cannot be broken, which will be of great help to them in choosing a husband's family in the future. ”

"Mother, I have a suggestion for you to see how it is."

"You say!"

"Mother, do you remember the last time we had a tea party at Mrs. Lou's house? There was a lady at the time who was Mrs. Lau. I have learned before that Mrs. Lao's knowledge, background, tea fragrance, tea art, and female celebrity are all very good. ”

Lu immediately understood what Yang Qiaoyue meant: "Do you want to invite Mrs. Lao to teach at home?" ”

Yang Qiaoyue nodded.

"It shouldn't be possible, Mrs. Lou has always wanted to invite her to Loufu to teach her daughter, but she was politely refused, not to mention that your father is a county prince."

Yang Qiaoyue naturally knew that Mrs. Lou would not invite unrelated people to the tea party for no reason.

"How do you know if you don't try? There is still a difference between the Lou Mansion and the Yang family! ”

Seeing that Yang Qiaoyue insisted, Lu Shi did not pour cold water on her, and agreed to accompany her to try.

Yang Qiaoyue smiled and nodded, she can't go to visit her with a child, it is not a slap in the face of her mother's main room.

She told Lu that she also meant to let her mother send a prayer post with her.

The two were talking and laughing in the room, not noticing Yang Jiapei who came over outside the door.

"Ahem~ahem!" Yang Jiabei interrupted them with a light cough.

Seeing this, Lu Shi hurriedly got up and asked curiously, "Master, why are you here?" ”

Yang Qiaoyue reluctantly got up to salute and called out to her father.

Yang Jia said goodbye and was a little embarrassed: "There is no other place to rest at home, and my mother can't go to the yamen to sleep ...... just after leaving." ”

Lu Shi looked embarrassed, how could he ask such a stupid question, why did he have to rest in Dongxi Courtyard when he came so late.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I asked the wrong question."

Yang Jia looked at the panicked Lu family, remembering that when the two first got married, he was just a poor scholar, and the first time he saw her, he was also nervous, and his eyes softened.

"After all these years, your temperament still hasn't changed."

Lu Shi was stunned, and his face rarely showed a little woman's posture.

Yang Qiaoyue ate a handful of dog food and smiled meaningfully: "Mother, then I'll go back to the room first." ”

Lu Shi nodded hurriedly and pushed her out.

After the daughter left, the awkward atmosphere in the house eased.

"This girl is getting bigger and smaller." Lu pretended to be angry.

The two looked at each other, avoided their gaze and did not speak, and the room fell silent.

"Master, rest early." Lu stepped forward to serve Yang Jia with wide clothes to rest and relieve the embarrassment.

"Lu Niang, I'm sorry!"

Yang Jiabei suddenly apologized.

Lu Shi's movements froze, as if all the grievances he had suffered over the years came to his heart.

With a touch of resentment, "Why does the master apologize!" ”

"Two years ago, I shouldn't have been ruthless enough to throw you and Yue'er into the countryside. Now that I'm calming down, even in-laws like the Liu family don't want to wade into troubled waters, even if I marry a daughter to seek glory, it won't help, I'm really confused. ”

Hearing this, Lu Shi did not comfort him this time, but said in a low voice: "There is another point, once the master really marries a daughter as a concubine for glory, he will lose the face of the Yang family, and he will lose the arrogance of the scholar, and he will not be able to raise his head in this life." Heaven belittles you, are you willing to see the master's side? At that time, I am afraid that I didn't even have to do it. ”

Yang Jia was shocked, he had never thought about this layer.

"Why didn't you tell me at the time?"

"This is all what Yue'er told me when she was in the countryside, how can I have the opportunity to tell my master."

Yes, even the letters have been perfunctory replies over the years, how can I listen to them.

Yang Jia really looked at what had happened in the past two years objectively, and only then did he know how much he had done.

was played around by the Liu family, and almost straightened the side room, making the Yang family restless.

"Yue'er is afraid that she hates me to death as a father."

"Master, don't say that, Qiaoyue is your daughter, broken bones and tendons, where does the deep hatred come from. She has a straight temperament, a knife mouth and a tofu heart, don't worry about her. ”

Lu was afraid that there would be an estrangement between the father and daughter, so he was anxious to help his daughter speak.

Yang Jia listened to it, and finally felt better, and laughed at himself: "If it weren't for the fact that I am her father, I'm afraid it wouldn't be too much to apologize a hundred times, but as an old man, how can I apologize to my daughter, you can help me say more good things." ”

Seeing that her husband did not blame, Lu Shi bent her eyebrows and smiled.

"I didn't expect the old man to be scared of that girl, and the elders in the countryside were afraid of her."

Yang Jia remembered that her daughter had counted all the elders in the evening, and how many times she had talked back to him when she came back, she was secretly helpless, could she not be stunned.

Lu then told him what Yang Qiaoyue meant by inviting a female master, Yang Jia felt very good, Yang Chen and Yang Lanhua were taught like this by the Liu family in the past two years, and the Lu family was afraid that he couldn't teach it, if he could invite Mrs. Lao, it would be the best.

It's just that he has the same worries as the Lu family, and Mrs. Lao is afraid that she will not come to his small county family.

"Let her try it, maybe she could." Lu said.

Yang Jiabei nodded.

……

The next day, Lu Shi handed a greeting post to Mrs. Lao's house early in the morning, and the other party replied to the post at that time, inviting them to their home as guests.

On the same day, Lu took Yang Qiaoyue to visit and brought some pastries by the way.

They arrived at Mrs. Lao's house, the latter was well-mannered, although it was not a famous family, but the three generations of masters in the family were famous scholars in Yan County and even Danzhou.

Mrs. Lao had doubts in her heart, she had never had contact with the Yang family, and she didn't know what to do with her.

After chatting, Lu took the initiative to bring up the matter and wanted to ask Mrs. Lao to teach a few ladies at home.

When Mrs. Lao heard this, she suddenly realized that she had come for this matter.

Unexpectedly, she politely refused: "Mrs. Yang, I'm really sorry, there are many inconveniences in this matter, I can't agree, and I want to ask you for it." ”
