Red apricots make spring

Chapter 191
This rule of not interfering with children's marriage is very unreasonable in the eyes of outsiders. It is extremely indulgent for children, but it has been a family motto that the Lu family has been following for three generations.

Of course, the person who formulated this family motto was Lu Chenzhou.When he and his wife Luo Qi got married back then, Luo Qi privately lamented that it was not easy for the two of them to get together, so she severed ties with her family and hoped that her children and grandchildren would not suffer from such hardships , by this torment.

Lu Chenzhou felt very sad when he heard this, the thing he felt most sorry for Luo Qi in his life was that she had suffered so much from her mother's family, even when her mother passed away and she came to pay homage, her father didn't let her in.Therefore, he established a rule in the family motto that in the future, when the children and grandchildren reach the age of marriage, they must obtain their consent in advance when they want to marry for them.

"This matter..." Lu Fenglin smiled wryly, "Father, I also have my own difficulties."

"Difficulties?" Lu Chenzhou sneered: "You tell me your difficulties for the old man to listen to. What difficulties are more important than Ce'er's lifelong happiness?"

"Father, put down the sword first, let's talk about it." Seeing that Lu Chenzhou's anger had almost disappeared, Lu Fenglin boldly snatched the sword from his hand, and then said with a smile: "Meng Yi, we all I have seen it before, she is both talented and beautiful, what is rare is that she is elegant and well-behaved, and Ce Er is infatuated. If Ce Er doesn't even look down on her, the capital is full, I don't think anyone can fall into his trap Eye-catching. As a father, I can’t watch him never marry, can I? I still want to hold a grandson, don’t you always want to hold a great-grandson?”

Lu Chenzhou snorted and said, "You haven't mentioned the matter of going to the Shen family to propose marriage. Didn't Ce'er just refuse to agree? No matter how good she is, Shen Mengyi, it's useless if Ce'er doesn't like her! You can make the marriage for him, but If he doesn't want to marry him later, can you do it for him?!"

This made Lu Fenglin choke, and he really couldn't laugh or cry, but he was really not sure about calling Lu Ce back to get married, so he had to laugh along with him and said, "Father, it's up to you, as long as you say let him come back to get married, he will definitely listen!"

"If you want Ce'er to come back, but you can't hold back your face, you force Fa'er to come back in a disguised form. This is your so-called difficulty?" Lu Chenzhou snorted coldly, tilted his head, and said displeasedly: " The old man has no ability to persuade him! What you do on your own, you can handle it yourself! You are such a big man, do you want someone to wipe your ass after shitting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chenzhou put his hands behind his back, and walked away angrily, leaving Lu Fenglin standing there alone, looking at his back and the sword in his hand, feeling extremely depressed.Speaking of which, don't look at everyone in the family calling him "Master", in fact, he is the one who has the most status in this family. He can't do anything for me, and I can't control my son.

Two months later, in Yunzhou City.

Wenrou stood behind the counter absent-mindedly, concentrating, and listened to the conversation of the guests at the table close to the counter.

"Which Lu family are you talking about?"

"Which one else? It is the family of General Weiyuan who led the army to resist the encirclement of the five countries, defend the territory of Dazhao, and stabilize the world!"

"Ah! So you are talking about Old General Lu! He has been retired for many years and has not asked about the government. How could he annoy His Majesty?"

"Tch, it's not General Lu who annoyed His Majesty, but his grandson! Are you listening?"

"Why aren't you listening? Tell me, keep talking!"

"The grandson of this old general Lu has already reached the age of marriage, but he has not yet married. The Holy Majesty likes his character and talent, and wants to marry his favorite Princess Anning. I went to Dao Zhezi to plead guilty, saying that a month ago, I was engaged to Prime Minister Shen's family."

"Prime Minister Shen? I heard that his two daughters are stunning! The eldest daughter is married, so the younger daughter is engaged to the Lu family, right?"

"Yes, it's Prime Minister Shen's youngest daughter! Before the holy decree, he thought it was Old General Lu's grandson who hadn't been engaged, so he didn't ask carefully. When the Lu family apologized, Prime Minister Shen also went to plead guilty. I can't save my face, and if the Lu family really doesn't want to marry, won't Princess Anning's reputation be tarnished? So the Holy One was furious immediately, and ordered the Lu and Chen families to withdraw from the marriage, so that The grandson of General Lu is going to marry the princess."

"Tsk tsk, this person is very lucky! He is the prime minister's daughter, and Princess An Ning!"

"Speak softly, why are you afraid that people won't be able to hear you?" The speaker looked around and saw Wen Rou lowered his head and was contemplating, and the diners at the next table were also chatting and laughing, so he lowered his voice and continued to laugh Said: "Yanfu is not easy to enjoy. If you want me to say, the grandson of old general Lu quietly resigned from the Shen family's marriage. Isn't it over after marrying the princess? Although the princess's appearance is not as good as that of the Shen family's daughter, she is also Golden branches and jade leaves bloom and fall like flowers..."

Another person couldn't help but interrupt him: "How do you know? Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it before, can I guess?" The person who was interrupted said displeasedly: "Don't even think about it, the concubines in the harem, which one is not a beauty, can the princess born ugly?"

"Okay, okay, when I didn't say it, what happened next?"

"Later... for some reason, the grandson of Old General Lu insisted on refusing to withdraw from the Shen family's marriage, and even contradicted the Holy Majesty on the spot, saying that the engagement comes first and the holy decree comes later. He would rather not marry for life than break his promise. Did you withdraw from the Shen family's marriage?"

"Tsk tsk! He even dared to contradict the Holy Majesty, so he didn't want his life?
"That's right! Since the Holy Majesty asked him to retire, Prime Minister Shen would not blame him if he thought about it, and being able to marry a princess back home and become in-laws with the Holy Majesty, such a good thing, others can't think of it, and he actually went out." Push, even at the expense of offending His Majesty, do you think he was kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a child? It's a pity that the old general Lu was so wise, how could he raise such a grandson, and it is said that it is a single heir for three generations!"

Hearing this, Rourou involuntarily increased the strength of the plan in her hand, and thought angrily in her heart: You two were just kicked in the head by a donkey!In front of a large crowd, if you say something bad, but talk about the affairs of the emperor's family, you are really not afraid of causing trouble!However, did Lu Ce really annoy the emperor's old man because he wanted to marry Shen Mengyi?No matter how she thinks about this kind of thing, she doesn't think it's like Lu Ce's style of acting. If Shen Mengan does this, it can still be understood...

She was distracted, but the gossiping diners at that table continued.

"Then how did the Holy Majesty deal with this person?"

"Your Majesty! I heard that Prime Minister Shen was summoned to have a secret conversation, and the Shen family obediently withdrew from the Lu family's marriage, even returning the dowry. Isn't this just giving the grandson of the old general Lu a step down, and fulfilling the promise again?" Has he lost his good reputation for being trustworthy? Who would have thought that he would not appreciate it? He scolded and belittled himself in the Taoist scriptures, calling himself the number one sinner in the ages, and finally said that a person like him is not worthy of marrying a princess. His Majesty Desheng tore the book into pieces and threw it in his face, immediately dismissed him from his post and demoted him to a commoner!"

"Ah—" The mouth of the speaker was frothing, and the listeners were dumbfounded, "Is he really stupid?"

Ruan couldn't help jumping up in shock when she was listening, she even forgot to make calculations to cover up the eavesdropping, and just stood there in a daze.However, this gossip guy doesn't look like a high-ranking official. His words may have come from hearsay, and he added a lot of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to it.

"Regardless of whether he is really stupid or not, it is rumored all over the city in the capital right now. Some people say he is stupid, while others say that he, like Old General Lu, is a seed of infatuation. He has a deep love for the girl from the Shen family. Princesses don't want to marry, and officials don't want to do it. According to me, these two people must have had an affair long ago, and the grandson of Old General Lu was seduced by a girl from the Shen family. Want to marry a princess?"

"When you said that, I remembered that the relationship between Old General Lu and his wife was really shocking..."

The two were still talking on their own, but Wen Rou continued to listen without thinking. They were all thinking about Lu Ce's affairs. When they raised their eyes inadvertently, they saw Pei Jingxuan walking over with a pale face and saying, "Treasurer Wen." , I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go back first, this piano..."

He said at the beginning that he was traveling around with his piano on his back, but whoever wanted to go to Yunzhou City was accidentally stolen all the money, so while promising to keep the gentle matter a secret, he also asked her to let him stay and play the piano in the restaurant , Earn some money.On weekdays, this restaurant is considered noisy, and he can just concentrate on playing his own piano. Who would have thought that he would overhear the words Shen's family and Lu's family, and then hear those two people slander Shen Mengyi for having an affair with Lu Ce, I couldn't feel at ease no matter what, so I had to take a leave of absence from Wen Rou and go back to sort out my emotions.

Wen Rou's mood was also in a mess. Hearing what he said, she just said: "Then you can go back and rest, the matter of playing the piano is not important."
