Chapter 112 Marriage (5)
But now the eldest son and the second son found him at the same time, and at the same time proposed to give Ling Mengqi his concubine daughter, the old man would not be able to reject them straight away, and then tell them that his preference is actually Lu Mingya?After all, the most important thing about marriage is "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". Even if he is a real grandfather, he can't directly pass his son to decide the marriage of his granddaughters. At most, he only has the right to make suggestions and make the final decision. The power has to be handed over to his son.

And between Lu Mingli and Lu Mingxin, the old Duke prefers Lu Mingli even more. Although Lu Mingli is a concubine, his father is the Duke after all. It is no different than Lu Zhongjing who only has a fourth-rank idle job, and Lu Mingxin is even more a concubine. Being a concubine, her status is really a little bit out of the question.

After much deliberation, the old man finally decided to ask Ling Mengqi what he meant first, to see who Ling Mengqi would like to choose, this kind of thing has to be based on your feelings, am I willing?Lu Mingxin's status is low, but what if Ling Mengqi prefers her?

When the old Duke talked with Lu Zhongmian and Lu Zhongjing, he didn't avoid people, so within a day, everyone in the Duke's Mansion who should know about it knew about it.

Mrs. Lu's attitude towards this is naturally one-sided in favor of Lu Mingli. After all, Lu Mingli is bleeding from her body. Lu Mingxin has nothing to do with her after all. She really likes Ling Mengqi. Meng Qi should be her own grandson-in-law, instead of being ruined by a bitch with bitch blood flowing from her body!

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, when Mrs. Lu asked their opinions, smiled and said that they all listened to their elders and their masters, but in their hearts they hated both Lu Mingli's mother and daughter and Lu Mingxin's mother and daughter. It is the mother's business to talk about the marriage of the children, but now they are urged by the two concubines to let their master pass them and stab the old man in front of the old man. The concubine's room can't be suppressed, even saying that they don't deserve the trust and love of their husbands?
Lu Mingli and Lu Mingxin knew that the other party had the same idea as their own, and after the matter was spread, they were ashamed, annoyed, and a little nervous. They thought they were the only ones who saw it and married now. The benefit to Ling Mengqi, I thought that as long as their respective fathers go to the old man to mention it, the matter will surely happen. When the time comes, the old man will come forward and announce that he will be betrothed to Ling Mengqi, even if the aunt has doubts, there is no Conclusive evidence can't help them and their respective aunts.

Who knew that things would turn into the present situation. Lu Mingli is better. Although she is worried, she is just worried that her aunt will not know how to rub her auntie and embarrass her in terms of dowry. If she is fighting with her this time Naturally, she couldn't compete for the girl, but if it was Lu Mingxin, as long as Ling Mengqi was not a fool, she would definitely choose her. Was Ling Mengqi a fool?Obviously not.

Lu Mingxin was miserable. After making such a big joke, the marriage didn't work out, and the aunt hated him and his aunt. Even if the aunt is a good-natured person, who can guarantee that she won't be here in the future? I made things difficult for myself in my marriage, wouldn't I rub my aunt in a different way?And this time there is such a commotion, I don't know how the whole family will laugh at me. What's worse is that once it spreads outside, the people in the capital will think that I hate getting married at a young age, and I will worry about my own. When it comes to marriage, without the slightest rules and dignity of a lady, even if there is no mother-in-law deliberately embarrassing, I will never want to marry into a good family in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingxin suddenly swallowed Lu Mingli's heart. If it wasn't for her, how could he be in such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation?But I never thought about it, if I hadn't moved some thoughts that I shouldn't have, how could I steal the chicken and lose the rice!
After Lu Mingfu learned of this, she immediately asked Lu Mingxuan intentionally: "Hey, do you think Mr. Ling will choose the second girl or the fifth girl? From my point of view, Mr. Ling will probably choose the second girl. Miss of the Duke's Mansion, but the second girl is the daughter of the Duke of the country. Although she is a concubine, in the eyes of outsiders, she is probably more valuable than the so-called first lady, the third girl. As long as Mr. Ling is not a fool, he should know How do you choose? I’m sorry for the fifth girl. After making such a big joke, I’m afraid she will hide for a long time and dare not come out to see people, but it’s okay. The lady of the Duke’s mansion, even if it’s just a concubine, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, it’s not easy to find a good marriage in the future, but it’s not too bad, what do you think?”

When Lu Mingfu said these words, every time she mentioned the words 'Miss of the Duke's Mansion', she deliberately bit them hard, and her gaze was quite meaningful. Lu Mingxuan is not a fool, so how could she not understand her intentions? ?This is to warn her, don't forget that she is just a side branch of the Duke's Mansion, and she is not the same as the real girls of the Duke's Mansion after all!

I couldn't help being angry and funny, and said: "Sister, as I said earlier, I really don't have any ideas about Mr. Ling, so you don't have to beat around the bush to test me. Whether he is marrying the second girl or the fifth girl, I will I'm all happy for him, and for the two girls, sister just rest assured."

Lu Mingxuan really didn't have any thoughts about Ling Mengqi. She knew it was impossible from the very beginning, and also violated her original intention of wanting to leave the capital far away and live a simple life. She denied it from the root. She is naturally calm about the doubts.

Lu Mingfu saw that her calm expression did not seem to be fake, and that Ling Mengqi was going to be engaged to Lu Mingli or Lu Mingxin, even if Lu Mingxuan really had any thoughts in her heart, she could only let go of them completely, so far she was completely relieved, and her whole body He went back to his room easily.

The rest of Lu Mingxuan read the book alone for a while, and then it was time for dinner, but Mrs. Lu sent a message that she would eat fast tonight, and then she would pick Buddha beans for Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu to eat by themselves. Said that she had ordered the big kitchen to deliver meals to them, so that they didn't have to go there after the meal.

So when the big kitchen delivered the meal, after Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu finished eating, the two sisters had nothing to do, so they sat in front of the smoker cage in the living room, gossiping and sewing together.

After about half an hour, there was a servant girl poking her head outside. Lu Mingxuan had sharp eyes, and she caught a glimpse of Danqing at a glance. She changed her clothes under the pretext of going out of the hall, and went to the veranda next to her with Danqing, before lowering her voice. Ask Danqing: "What's the matter?"

Danqing whispered in his ear: "Mr. Ling sent Huzi to spread the word, saying that the old man mentioned to him the marriage with the second girl and the fifth girl in the afternoon, and asked him who he would like to choose? For a while, Mr. Ling was a little undecided. And I don't know much about the two girls, so I want to ask the girl to help me as a staff officer. After all, the girl spends much more time with the second and fifth girls than he does, so I should have a certain understanding of the two girls' personalities. , is it better than having his eyes darkened and not knowing anything?"
