Chapter 281: Important Matters (3)
Zhao Yanjie said: "Having said that, wouldn't it be better to add something to the cake? Anyway, it's only a few months away. Anyway, sister Xuanxuan is not too old, so don't be in a hurry."

Mrs. Lu nodded: "It's true that I'm not in a hurry at this moment, but I can say my ugly words first. If you win this time, it's fine. If you don't win, what are you still thinking? Anyway, girl Xuan is not too old, and then It's not impossible to wait for three years, so I decided to propose marriage to Miss Xuan three years later. I don't agree, because my daughter's family has limited youth, so I will have to make the decision to choose another son-in-law for Miss Xuan. With her character, talent and appearance, it is not difficult to find a good marriage."

Zhao Yanjie hurriedly said: "It's natural, I will never delay sister Xuan in vain, please rest assured, aunt and grandma."

Mrs. Lu said: "With your words, I feel relieved." She chatted with Zhao Yanjie for a few more words, and only let him go after Zhao Yanjie said that he would go back to review the book and bid farewell.

When Mrs. Lu was talking to Zhao Yanjie, the old man was also talking to Lu Zhongmian. What Lu Zhongmian meant was to settle Zhao Yanjie's marriage with Lu Mingxin before Zhao Yanjie became a Jinshi, so as to save time for him to go to high school In other people's eyes, there will be a suspicion that I am taking advantage of favor to marry. After all, Zhao Yanjie is still so young, and anyone can see that he is bound to have a bright future in the future. Lu Mingxin, a concubine girl from a concubine, promised him, somewhat wronged him.

But the old man said: "It is precisely because we still don't know whether he can pass this subject, so we can't settle the matter between him and Wu Yatou right now, otherwise we will really suspect that we are going to marry Wu. The identity of the girl is really a little bit out of place, if it is changed to the second girl, it will be fine, but the fifth girl is not your daughter, so let's wait until he finishes the exam and the rankings are announced. If he wins by then, We have no choice but to find another way to win over him. If we fail, we will propose to promise the fifth girl to him at that time. It will not be a marriage with a kindness, but a gift in a timely manner. The difference between the two is up to you. stop."

Lu Zhongmian immediately understood the meaning of the old man, and said with a smile: "Father is still far-sighted, but what relationship in this world can be more secure than marriage, but now there is no other candidate in the mansion except Wu Yatou. .”

You can't promise the county head to Zhao Yanjie, let's not say whether the county head is willing or not, I'm afraid the eldest princess will lift the roofs of the two mansions first!
The old man said: "There is no other candidate, so if he wins at that time, I can only bring up this matter with my old face. At most, before that, I will record the fifth girl in Qu's name." Next, when the time comes, the dowry will be prepared with her according to the example of a concubine's daughter, so it will not be regarded as humiliating him."

After the father and son talked in this way, the matter seemed to them to be settled.

After a few days, it will be New Year's Eve. Lu Mingxuan is not in high spirits this year, so she didn't find an excuse to sneak out to have a gathering with Xiaochi's master Xiaoli and others in Jifang Pavilion, so Danqing made a trip to let Xiaochi's master compare Last year's example, everyone's year-end bonus was increased by [-]%.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Shijiulang came to Lu's family early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings just like last year. Lu Zhongxian won the Juren because of him this year. Besides, it's not that he really doesn't like him. If he really doesn't like him, he won't marry his daughter. I gave it to him, but I just couldn't hold that energy in my heart for a while. Now that I have put that energy aside, naturally I won't show him any more face.

However, until the banquet at noon, neither Zhao Yanjie nor Ling Mengqi had landed at the door of the house. Lu Zhongxian couldn't help feeling unhappy. First, he secretly scolded Zhao Yanjie, thinking that he was great because he was a man, his eldest son-in-law It's still Juren, and February will end the same way. Why can't he spare time today when he has time to come from home to pay New Year's greetings? I really think his daughter is already married to him, don't you?
After scolding Zhao Yanjie, then scolding Ling Mengqi, last year you were very courteous and rushed to call me 'Daddy', why did you suddenly change your attitude this year? Well, even if I don't want to marry my daughter to you, I'm still your elder. When you come back from a long trip, shouldn't you come to say goodbye to your elders or something?Hmph, you are half-hearted and ungrateful, and you still want to marry my daughter, dreaming!
In the inner courtyard, Lu Mingxuan naturally knew that neither Zhao Yanjie nor Ling Mengqi came to the house today, but she was not as angry as Lu Zhongxian. Someone came out and told her, and she thought that there was really no need to rush at this moment, Zhao Yanjie's fate is the most important thing at present-although she knew that Zhao Yanjie failed in this subject in his previous life, Zhao Yanjie himself didn't know it, so he couldn't let it go. She went to tell Zhao Yanjie that you definitely won't pass this subject, so don't waste your efforts, should you rest or should you rest, dare to play or have fun?
As for Ling Mengqi, she has hurt him like that, if he is still rushing to try to please her by pleasing her father, she asks herself that she still doesn't have that charm!
Lu Mingxuan asked herself that she didn't have that charm, and she didn't want Ling Mengqi to suddenly walk into her door on the day of Lantern Festival.

At that time, she was pasting a lamp with paper, but she had promised An Geer that she would give her a lamp during the Lantern Festival. Dan Qing suddenly ran in, with a face of not knowing whether he should be happy or unhappy With a tangled expression, he said: "Girl, there are guests ahead..."

Lu Mingxuan didn't even raise her head: "Male or female? Male guests are entertained by their fathers, and female guests are entertained by their wives. Come and tell me what to do, don't you see that I am busy?"

Dan Qing struggled for a long while before stomping his feet and said: "It's Young Master Ling, I don't know if he hasn't given up yet, if he hasn't given up, girl, can't you think about it any more? Set it down, or you will regret it in the future, and it will be useless!"

Lu Mingxuan never expected that the guest in Danqing's mouth would be Ling Mengqi, she couldn't help being stunned, and said calmly for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about, Daddy and Brother Ling have a good relationship, and now Brother Ling is traveling far away Returning for the first time, it is also due to come to Wangnian to say hello and New Year's greetings, if you have nothing to do, you can help me paste the lamp."

After finishing speaking, she bowed her head and started to work again, as if she was not affected in the slightest, but only she knew that her heart was already in a mess.

Lu Mingxuan didn't expect that Ling Mengqi would come to the door suddenly, and Lu Zhongxian also didn't expect that, when he heard the porter came to report, he was startled for a moment, then waved his hand impatiently and said: "No see, just say I went out to visit friends, send him away "Hmph, it's been half a month since I returned to Beijing, and I just thought of coming to him, I really think that his place is on the street, come and go whenever I want, it's not such a good thing!
