Chapter Seventy-Six: Normal
The third mother-in-law's tone was kind, and the tone of Mrs. Tai was also very respectful, Lu Mingxi originally thought that after he left, the family would have to rely on the support of the third mother-in-law, and wanted to make Lu Mingwei and Lu Yunting closer to the third mother-in-law, so naturally there was no reason to refuse, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "My grandmother said before that they should also come to congratulate them on this matter, but the Hou Mansion has not completely settled the matter before, so they are not good to disturb rashly." ”
In fact, the Lu family had already left Lu Xianzong behind and done this matter.
One Lu Xianzong, one Lu Ziqian, has almost lost the entire Lu family, if it weren't for the thick foundation of the Lu family this time, and there are many people in the clan who are highly respected like the third mother-in-law, in fact, the call for the removal of the Marquis Changyong Mansion from the court is also very loud.
It is only because of the friendship between the older generation of the Lu family and the previous friendship with Emperor Yongchang all the way from the palace to the present that Emperor Yongchang gave the Lu family a way to live, turning a blind eye - Lu Ziqian was indeed out of the clan early, this is for sure.
Now when it comes to these old things, the attitude of the third mother-in-law and Lu Mingxi is very indifferent.
The third mother-in-law raised her eyebrows and said to Lu Mingxi: "As long as this matter is decided by the Ministry of Rites, there will be no changes, and you will have nothing to do with Lu Xianzong from now on." So before, I thought about asking you to visit Lu Xianzong in order to fulfill your reputation, but now there is no need for this. ”
As she spoke, she nodded at Mama Song, and took a stack of invitations from Mama Song's hand: "The Hou Mansion has actually changed its course now, no matter what, this etiquette is passable." These are the old in-laws of the Hou Mansion in the past, and in a few days I will hold a church meeting in the mansion and invite relatives and friends to get together. We can't control this, the mouth grows on other people's bodies, naturally they can say whatever they want, and living their own life is the most important thing. ”
Lu Mingxi thought deeply about this, and took the invitation to see that it was really the old Lu family.
When the time comes, how many people can come to the Hou Mansion can see the attitude of these people towards the Hou Mansion.
Lu Mingxi was thoughtful, and the third mother-in-law saw that she was silent, and said with a smile: "That's it, this is not something that can be said in a day or two, let's discuss it slowly, Mingwei is in the room, you sisters go and talk, let's have dinner together in the evening." ”
When she came over this time, she originally planned to talk to Lu Mingwei about business, but Lu Mingxi reacted and hurriedly thanked the third mother-in-law, seeing that Nan Nan was still holding those rag dolls and couldn't put them down, and she was very reluctant to let the third mother-in-law go, so she simply asked Nan Nan to stay and talk to the third mother-in-law.
The third mother-in-law was really happier.
Lu Mingxi didn't sigh in his heart, went to Lu Mingwei's room, and saw that Lu Mingwei was drying books, so he couldn't help but lean against the courtyard gate and read for a long time.
It wasn't until Lu Mingwei looked up that she saw her sister looking at her outside the door with a smile, and asked with some surprise: "Sister, when did you come?" Why don't you come in? ”
The yard was full of books, and Lu Mingxi stepped forward with a smile and took Lu Mingwei's hand: "It's rare to see you so leisurely, and I feel a little emotional for a while." ”
This is true, since being reborn, he has been walking on thin ice, and every step is not easy, so he has a moment of leisure, Lu Mingwei stood in the courtyard, looked at the books in his courtyard, and suddenly smiled.
She was in a rare good mood, and entered the house with Lu Mingxi, and waited until Lily came in with hot tea, and then explained with a smile: "A father-in-law came to the palace before, and asked me to pack up my things and enter the palace, but this time it seems that half a month has passed, but there is no movement, so I find something to do for myself." ”
The matter of entering the palace to be a companion is ironclad, and every time it is said that it is going to enter the palace tomorrow, but in the end, it is not possible to go, Lu Ming can't help but be a little worried: "Only the seventh and eighth princesses are studying in the palace, and the ninth princess is still in Huangjue Temple now, is it possible that it has been dragged on, and you are asked to be the companion of the ninth princess?" ”
Let's not talk about the domineering temperament of the ninth princess, these two still have grudges, if they really enter the palace to be the companion of the ninth princess, it is really better not to enter.
Lu Mingxi felt sorry for his sister, and asked in a low voice: "It's better to ask my mother-in-law what she means, if we can not go, it is best not to go."
In the eyes of many people, it is a great honor to enter the palace to be a companion, a woman can enter the palace to study with the princess, and when she comes out in the future, even if she is a relative, she can be looked down upon a few times, but in Lu Mingxi's eyes, this is just a high-level minion.
It's just that it's Her Royal Highness who is waiting.
Glory is glorious, but there is no need to talk about the hardships involved.
In the previous dynasty, when the princess was studying, there were many people who were convicted of being sick with illness.
The princess of this dynasty, the seventh princess and the eighth princess are not famous, but the ninth princess is notoriously domineering and difficult to provoke, Lu Mingxi is really afraid that Lu Mingwei will end up serving the ninth princess in the end.
Lu Mingwei herself is much better, she smiled, held her sister's hand and shook her head: "No, this is an errand appointed by the Queen Mother, if you don't go, I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the Hou Mansion in the future." Now that the third mother-in-law has come to the Hou Mansion, our Hou Mansion can be regarded as having a foothold, but there are definitely not a few people who question it behind it, and the marriage of Yunting will be in the future."
Therefore, you have to stabilize the cornerstone of the Hou Mansion, and at the same time, you have to think about it yourself.
This is an opportunity to come to your door, and you can't do without.
Lu Mingxi looked at his sister's face, couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he touched her hair and said softly: "It's clear that you are much younger than me, but now you have become the person who supports the Hou Mansion, Mingwei, many times, I really feel sorry for you, and I don't know how to explain to my mother in the future, before she died, I couldn't rest assured that you would take care of you, and I repeatedly told me to take care of you, but I couldn't do it."
She choked up for a moment.
Lu Mingwei turned her head to look at her sister, opened her eyes and sighed: "Why did my sister say such a thing again?" What can be done or can't be done, we are sisters, sharing weal and woe, and sharing blessings and misfortunes. I never felt that I was supporting the Hou Mansion, but I was glad that I was able to protect you and my brother, and that being together as a family was the most important thing. ”
Nothing else matters.
Lu Mingxi patted his sister's hand, sniffed, and didn't want to upset his sister, so he diverted the topic and told Lu Mingwei about the shopkeeper Ye.
Lu Mingwei paused in the action of drinking tea, put the teacup in his hand on the table, raised his eyebrows, and went through the whole thing in his heart before asking affirmatively: "The Qi family bought the shopkeeper Ye?" ”
