Lu Yuning took two steps and said, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"Ouch, slow down, watch your feet." Tao said and walked in front of Lu Yuning, and said, "Mother came to see how your feet were?" Your feet are not good, you can't take care of them well, what are you running around? ”

"Mother don't worry, my daughter's feet just look a little serious, but they don't hurt much." Lu Yuning said and took Tao's arm and said, "My daughter just went to ask her grandmother to say goodbye, and by the way, I told her about her daughter's decision to choose to enter the palace." ”

"If you tell it, tell it." Tao sighed, quickly cleaned up his mood, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Hurry up and go into the house to rest, although your foot doesn't hurt your bones, you have to take care of it." ”

She also figured it out last night, she was useless, she couldn't resist the concubine and the old lady, and she was sad and sad at this time, just to make her daughter worry, it was better to be calm.

Lu Yuning nodded: "My daughter knows, my grandmother has already exempted my daughter from asking for peace in the next few days, and my daughter will not go there for the next few days, so she will stay in the house to recuperate." ”

The two entered Lu Yuning's room while talking, Lu Yuning sat down on the chair and said to Tao: "Mother doesn't have to worry too much about her daughter, and she should take care of her own body." ”

Tao shook his head and said, "My mother knows, don't worry about my mother, my mother is fine." ”

Lu Yuning looked at the blue and black under Tao's eyes, did not expose Tao, and said with a smile: "It's okay if my mother is fine, there are two days before the end of the month, and my younger brother should also come back from the academy. ”

Lu Yuning's younger brother Lu Simo is only eleven years old this year, but because of his father's and brother's accident, he is very sensible at a young age, and he always feels that he, as the only man in their three rooms, should protect his sister and mother, and in addition to studying, he is worried about Tao and Lu Yuning's sister.

Lu Simo was admitted to Baiyun Academy last year, Baiyun Academy is the most famous academy in Dayong, and the students are very strict, whether they are the children of high-ranking officials or the rich, if they want to enter Baiyun Academy, they must pass the examination of the academy.

It's just that Baiyun Academy is not in the capital, but on Hengyuan Mountain, which is located dozens of miles away from the capital, from Baiyun Academy to the capital, it takes more than an hour to ride a fast horse.

Tao Shi heard Lu Yuning mention Lu Simo, and then remembered that her son was coming back soon, she thought about it, and said to Lu Yuning hesitantly: "Mother thinks about entering the palace, or don't tell Mo'er for the time being." ”

Lu Yuning pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "My daughter thinks it's better to tell my younger brother." ”

The general election of the Dayong Dynasty has always been in the late spring, that is, around April. It's already the end of October, and it's not long before the election day, even if you hide it from Lu Simo, you can't hide it for long, so it's better to tell him now.

And Lu Simo was precocious, and they told him in person, which could also prevent him from guessing wildly when he heard a few words elsewhere.

There is another point, Lu Yuning wants Lu Simo to recognize the true face of the Lin family and others as soon as possible, knowing that they are unreliable.

After listening to what Lu Yuning said, Tao nodded and said, "In this case, then after Mo'er comes back, my mother will tell him about it." ”

Lu Yuning nodded and said okay.

After the mother and daughter finished speaking, Tao told Lu Yuning to rest well, and then got up and left.

Two days later, Lu Simo returned home.

When Lu Simo came back from the academy, it was already completely dark, as soon as he entered the mansion, he heard about his sister's foot, and he was worried about his sister, he went to Tao's courtyard after inviting Lin's peace, and was ready to visit Lu Yuning after meeting Tao, but he didn't want to know from Tao's mouth that Lu Yuning was going to enter the palace to participate in next year's election.

Lu Simo couldn't sit still now, stood up and said to Tao: "I'll go see my sister." He hurriedly went to Lu Yuning's Qin Yaxuan.

Lu Yuning's feet were not heavy, after resting for two days, the swelling of her bare feet had basically dissipated, and she didn't feel any pain, seeing Lu Simo coming, she was just about to get up from the soft collapse and get off the ground when Lu Simo stopped her, "Sister, your foot is injured, just lie down." ”

Lu Yuning was pressed back to the soft collapse, looking at the cheeks in front of him that were still a little fleshy, but he looked like an old and heavy young man, and smiled helplessly: "My feet are almost healed." ”

Lu Simo said: "It's almost good, but it's not completely good, so you still have to pay attention." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Lu Yuning leaned back on the big soft pillow and asked, "Can you go and ask your grandmother for peace?" ”

Lu Simo nodded, "As soon as I came back, I went, and I went to see my mother after asking my grandmother." ”

Lu Simo wanted to ask Lu Yuning about entering the palace, but he didn't know how to speak, and after a pause, he continued: "I heard from my mother that my grandmother wanted my sister to enter the palace, and my sister agreed?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Yuning said: "The concubine Niangniang chose me among the sisters, I have no room to refuse, if I don't enter the palace, my grandmother will let me marry the king of Yujun as a continuation." ”

Lu Simo's immature little face wrinkled, "In this way, my sister was originally reluctant to enter the palace, but she was forced to have no choice but to enter the palace, right?" ”

Lu Yuning did not deny it.

Lu Simo jumped to his feet, "Grandmother and Guifei Niangniang, they are too much, I'll go find my grandmother." ”

As he spoke, Lu Simo turned around and was about to go to Jifu Hall, but Lu Yuning hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said coldly: "Mo'er, sit down!" ”

Perhaps calmed by Lu Yuning's tone, Lu Simo sat down obediently.

Lu Yuning looked at Lu Simo's eyes and said seriously: "Mo'er, my sister told you that this is not for you to rashly go to your grandmother to quarrel. ”

When Lu Simo heard this, a pair of eyes stared at the boss, his eyes were slightly red, and he said with grievances: "I don't quarrel with my grandmother, can't I go and ask my grandmother to change her mind?" ”

Sure enough, she was still a child, Lu Yuning sighed, softened her tone and said: "Mo'er, my sister knows that you are thinking about my sister, but it's useless, my grandmother has made up her mind to send me to the palace, no matter how much you beg her, she can't change her mind." ”

Tao's death did not shake the Lin family in the slightest, how could it be useful for Lu Simo to beg her.

Lu Yuning shook her head, and continued: "Originally, my mother wanted to hide this matter from you, but I think Mo'er, although you are young, you have always been smart, and there is no need to hide these things from you." ”

"Although we are all descendants of the Hou Mansion, in the eyes of my grandmother, the eldest brother and the concubine Niangniang who will inherit the title in the future are the ones who can bring glory and wealth to the Hou Mansion, and the most important thing in her eyes is always the eldest brother and the concubine Niangniang. In addition to the eldest brother and the concubine, the grandmother loves the house and Wu, and she also loves the fifth brother and the sixth sister in her heart. ”

"As for our other grandsons and granddaughters, they are all dispensable, and we can easily sacrifice for the prosperity of the Hou Mansion."
