Chapter 181: Came to marry Lu Baozhu with a dowry gift
These literati in Shengjing City all knew Lu Baohua, and they all made way for Lu Baohua.
Lu Baohua's gaze was withdrawn from Zhong Ming's face, and he wrote a poem:
Comb your hair obliquely in the mirror. Return to the wild goose in the autumn, tired of homesickness. The green sleeves are diligent, the gold cups are scattered, and the jade hands are pipa.
People are emaciated, the wind blows the tent veil, and butterflies are sad to come tomorrow. Looking back at the end of the world, a touch of the sun, a few jackdaws.
After writing, Lu Baohua took a deep look at Zhong Ming, and then got up to leave.
Shen Jialin looked at Lu Baohua's good words and praised: "Good words, good words, who is that girl?" ”
The literati on the side said: "The second girl of the Lu family, her talent is famous in Shengjing." ”
Shen Jialin said: "She is Lu Ze's sister? ”
"Yes, their brother and sister are brilliant, and there are few opponents in Shengjing City."
Zhong Ming looked at the two lines of words left by Lu Baohua, then looked at his right hand wrapped in gauze, laughed sarcastically, and drank a glass of wine with his left hand.
When Qi Yuning went to the box on the second floor, he happened to see Zhong Ming's scene.
In the box, Lingling ordered a lot of dishes, and when the two roasted pigeons came up, Lingling grabbed a pigeon leg and gave it to Lu Baohua and said, "Second aunt eats legs." ”
Lu Baozhu was jealous: "Why didn't my aunt have it?" ”
Ling Ling grabbed another pigeon leg and gave it to Lu Baozhu, "Auntie eat." ”
Lu Baozhu hugged Lingling into his arms and handed the leg in his hand to Lingling: "Finally, I didn't hurt my Lingling in vain." ”
Qi Yuning looked at the scene of Lingling gnawing on the pigeon's leg and smiled faintly, after being full of wine and food, Lingling still had the energy to wander around, and Qi Yuning followed Lingling all the time.
Lu Baozhu asked, "By the way, why didn't I see Lu Yun yesterday?" Didn't he come with you? ”
Qi Yuning thought of Lu Yun, who was still amnesiac, and couldn't help but have a headache, and didn't know how to explain to Lu Baozhu, "He is in the Shen family in Lingzhou." ”
"What is he going to do there?" Lu Baozhu said, "He can really run, what about Baoshuang Baoxue?" Why don't you see the two of them? ”
"They followed Zhong Ding to kill King Ning." Qi Yu Ning said, "I just got an urgent report yesterday, King Ning has been surrendered, and he should be coming back soon." ”
Lu Baohua asked Qi Yuning in a low voice: "County Lord, General Zhong Ding went to exterminate King Ning first, didn't Zhong Ming go with him?" ”
Qi Yuning said: "His hand is seriously injured, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to hold chopsticks in his right hand......"
Lu Baohua was extremely surprised, "What? ”
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Baohua and said, "He now lives in the General's Mansion in the west of the city, if you want to visit the injury, you can go to the General's Mansion to find him." ”
When Lu Baohua heard this, he didn't say anything more.
……
In the palace of King Xu.
King Xu entered Princess Xu's room, saw that Princess Xu was coughing badly, and said, "I heard that you saw Baohua today?" ”
Princess Xu nodded and said: "Lord, Baohua is a good girl, cough cough, it's a pity that I can't walk with this body now, otherwise you can use the position of the concubine to hire her, and it won't make her feel wronged." ”
King Xu held Princess Xu's hand tightly, the young husband and wife, spent fifteen years together, and King Xu was very uncomfortable listening to Princess Xu's words.
"I'll ask you a good doctor to come and show you, you have to hold on, and you have to hold on until you become the crown princess......"
Princess Xu leaned on the pillow and said: "I know that my mother's family has planned to send my sister and niece into the palace, but I am not worried about them, only Baohua I can rest assured, cough cough, our Fang'er is too simple, cough cough, I have to find a stepmother who treats her well." ”
King Xu saw that Princess Xu was seriously ill and sighed.
Princess Xu said again: "And that Shen Jialin, his temper is too bad, Fang'er is still young, don't beat him up for the idea of being a son-in-law." ”
King Xu listened to Princess Xu's advice like her last words, full of taste, "Well, you have a good rest." ”
King Xu left the princess's courtyard and saw Shen Jialin enter with a piece of paper.
Shen Jialin said to King Xu: "Lord Wang, why didn't you tell me that there is such a talented girl in Shengjing City, I have found the goddess of my dreams, and I ask to marry the second girl of the Lu family as my wife." ”
“……”
King Xu was silent for a while, then coughed and said, "This king has already made a verbal agreement with her father and mother, and wants to accept the second girl of the Lu family as a side concubine." ”
Shen Jialin frowned and said, "Lord Wang, how old are you, and you still want the old cow to eat tender grass?" You're more than ten years older than her! ”
King Xu has always been able to tolerate talented people, and listening to Shen Jialin's words, he was not annoyed, and said: "It's indeed much older, but her father and mother have already agreed to get married." ”
Xu Wangben was not too willing to marry Lu Baohua, she was really much younger than herself.
He likes Lu Baohua, but he has always liked his niece juniors so much before, seeing that Lu Baohua's talent is becoming more and more outstanding, King Xu is also honored to see the juniors he has personally promoted.
But let Lu Baohua be a side concubine and have children with her, King Xu couldn't help but think about it.
It's just that now for the position of the Ninety-Five, there is only a cheeky old cow to eat tender grass.
Shen Jialin Road; "It's a pity that she has set up a marriage with you, but she also has a sister, listening to her sister's tone, it is also excellent to think about the literary style."
"Sister? She has only one sister, and that is my niece, Lu Baozhu, the daughter of Princess Pingrou. ”
Shen Jialin said: "It turned out to be called Baozhu, I look at her tone, I think it must be above Lu Er's girl, and Lu Ze's own sister, is it brilliant?" ”
King Xu smiled, after all, he didn't dismantle his niece's unlearned platform, "It's the same girl, it must be about the same." ”
Shen Jialin smiled and said, "Then I will write to my father and mother, and ask my father and mother to bring the dowry to marry Lu Baozhu!" ”
King Xu said: "This is not appropriate, right? ”
"Does the prince think that I am not worthy of your niece?"
King Xu thought about Lu Baozhu when she was young, when she was caught writing a few words, she could pretend to have eighteen kinds of problems to not read or write, she was really not worthy of Shen Jialin.
It's just that in the end, he kissed his niece, and now that he wants to marry the Lu family, he still has to save some face for his niece.
King Xu sneered: "Worthy, worthy." ”
……
Lingling played for a day, and when it was dusk, he was finally too tired to have the strength to go back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Lingling leaned on the small wooden couch and fell asleep, Qi Yuning saw Lingling who fell asleep, touching her little face with her hand, very satisfied.
Lu Ze entered the house, saw the silence inside, saw Lingling sleeping on the couch, and went over to touch her little face.
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and asked, "Did you come back early today?" ”
Lu Ze said: "I'm afraid that Lingling will want to see me, so I will bring back the official business to deal with it." ”
Qi Yuning said: "Lu Baohua met Zhong Ming today, I think she has some interest in Zhong Ming, should we help match the two of them?" ”
Lu Ze said: "Adult marriage is also a good thing, but the second uncle and second aunt have already agreed to King Xu's proposal, and now King Xu has not yet gone to tell His Majesty, if he talks to His Majesty, Baohua is really the concubine of King Xu...... If you really want to match, you have to do it as soon as possible. ”
Qi Yuning said: "Well, tomorrow I will go to determine Baohua's thoughts." ”
