Chapter 111 Marriage (4)
But even so, Aunt Li looked rather old-fashioned, standing next to Mrs. Lu, who was about the same age as her, didn't look like her peers, but like two generations.

Aunt Li obviously didn't expect that Lu Mingli would come here at this time, she was surprised and happy at the same time, she hurriedly stood up to salute Lu Mingli, and then asked her: "Why is the second girl here at this time? Does Madam know? But what's important?" ? By the way, has the second girl eaten, or should I ask someone to prepare some of the second girl's favorite snacks?"

How could Lu Mingli have time to chat with Aunt Li about such insignificant things? After waving her hands to make Aunt Li and her own maid retreat, she whispered to Aunt Li in such a way. In the end, she was facing her own The biological mother, she was still blushing with shame, and her head was almost below her chest.

It took Aunt Li a long time to realize what Lu Mingli said, "The second girl means that I should find an opportunity to mention this matter with the Duke as soon as possible, and let the Duke make the decision to promise you to Ling Ling." Son? But have you ever thought about it, the title and family property of the Guangping Marquis Mansion will most likely not have his share in the future, even if he is now in the eyes of the eldest princess and has an official job, after all, he is just a small official with sesame seeds and mung beans , How many years have it been before you have been so prosperous? You can obviously marry better and live a good life as soon as you get through the door. Why do you have to trample yourself and go to suffer with him? Even if he really survives, you will be old by then Could it be that he can only watch him take a concubine to raise a child, not to mention that he may not be able to make it out? The second girl, don't look at him because he is good-looking, you will be confused. If he is good-looking, he can still be eaten, don't worry, I will definitely tell the Duke as soon as possible, let him find a good match for you, and after the big girl gets married, I will let you marry in a glorious manner, no matter what, it will be ten times better than marrying that Mr. Ling ?”

Apparently, Aunt Li was one of a thousand who didn't want Lu Mingli to marry Ling Mengqi.

Lu Mingli never thought that when she mentioned Aunt Li, she would be willing to help her speak in front of Lu Zhongmian, but she didn't expect that Aunt Li would have such a big reaction and provoke such a big talk from her. "If my father really has my aunt and me in his heart, why would he still ignore my marriage until now? It can be seen that he has forgotten such a thing. Let my wife do it, what kind of marriage does my aunt think my wife will find with me? In all likelihood, it's not the same as the second brother, who just pulls a nephew from the natal family to make up the number, or finds a door that looks bright from the outside. In fact, all kinds of unbearable marriages inside, how can you compare with Brother Ling Shi who knows everything? After all, it’s not because I’m afraid that I’ll marry too poorly, and I won’t be able to look good for you and help you in the future!”

The daughter who is regarded as the lifeblood misunderstood herself so much, Aunt Li's eyes immediately turned red, and she murmured: "How can the second girl say that? I only want you to marry well and live a good life after marriage. I have never thought about whether I have a long face or not, and whether you can help me. I will be like this in my life. Could it be that the Duke and his wife can live without me? The key is that Mr. Ling is not a good match. ..."

Why doesn't Lu Mingli know that Ling Mengqi is not a good match at least right now, but whenever she thinks of Ling Mengqi's peerless face, her heart beats faster, not to mention that Ling Mengqi's situation is much better now than before ?At first he had nothing and she had to reluctantly give up, but now that the opportunity has come, if she still wants to give up, she is afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Because of blushing, she slowed down her voice and said to Aunt Li: "I know that Auntie is doing it for my own good. I was just confused and said such angry words just now. Auntie, don't take it to heart. But I have my own. For the sake of consideration, I would like to ask my aunt to listen to me. Brother Ling Shi is only in his teens now, and he is already at the seventh rank. He is in the eyes of the eldest princess and the fifth younger brother. Will they not support him in the future? He is a capable person, as long as someone gives him a chance, I believe he will be able to flourish in the future and make my husband and wife more valuable. It is no better than marrying someone who has no ability. He can only live by his father and brother. When his father dies, he will be killed immediately. If we get separated, we can only rely on going to our family to live in the autumn breeze in the future?"

After a pause, "Father and grandfather, they already liked Brother Ling Shi. If Brother Ling Shi and I...were married, Brother Ling Shi would be our own. Fighting for the title for Brother Ling, can we just sit back and watch the Marquis of Guangping not distribute any of his family property to him? With my own dowry, we can live well without the title, not to mention that I am at the end of Brother Ling's life. Nowadays, if you marry him, this alone is enough for him to treat me with special respect and respect, not to mention marrying him, you don’t have to set up rules with your mother-in-law, and you don’t have to play around with these benefits in front of your sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Yes... Auntie just promise me, brother Ling Shi and I will have a good life, and we will honor you in the future!"

Anyway, after all, Aunt Li was relieved, and after agreeing to speak for her in front of Lu Zhongmian, Lu Mingli left satisfied.

What Lu Mingli didn't know was that on the night when she and her aunt were secretly planning to marry Ling Mengqi, in the small courtyard behind the second room, Lu Mingxin and her aunt also did the same thing. Naturally, Lu Mingxin can also see the benefits of marrying Ling Mengqi, so it's not surprising that she did the same thing.

It's just that Lu Mingxin's aunt didn't have any objections to this marriage like Aunt Li did. Instead, after hearing Lu Mingxin's words, she actively stated that she would talk to Lu Zhongjing the next day, and let Lu Zhongjing talk to the old man. After all, Lu Mingxin's status can be said to be the lowest among all the girls in the Duke's Mansion. Being able to marry Ling Mengqi is already considered a good marriage. If he passes through this village, who knows if there will be a better shop in the future? ?Of course you have to hold on tight!
So on the third day, less than an hour after Lu Zhongmian proposed to promise Lu Mingli to Ling Mengqi in order to fulfill the marriage contract that Lu Ling's family had made in the early years, the old man heard Lu Zhongjing say the same thing again, and only But this time the marriage partner was changed to Lu Mingxin.

The old man was a little hesitant for a while, unable to make up his mind. The old man never thought of breaking the marriage contract back then and not allowing Ling Mengqi to have a granddaughter. He just thought that both parties were still young and wanted to It's just a matter of observing for a while; and in his private heart, he wanted to promise Ling Mengqi a granddaughter instead of a granddaughter. You's eldest daughter married his concubine's granddaughter, the old man asked himself that he would do such a shameful thing.

That is to say, what the old man prefers is to promise Lu Mingya to Ling Mengqi. After all, apart from Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingzhu, he only has Lu Mingya as his granddaughter.
