Chapter 295 Bandit Logic (4)
Seeing the question, Lu Mingli was about to answer when she saw Nanny Zhang come out from the inner room with the curtain lifted, and said to the old man on her knees: "The old lady is awake, and she has taken the pills, and she is fine. All masters, please go back, don't worry, only the old Duke and Duke, and Miss Xuan stay."

Everyone was quite curious about what happened just now. It would be a good thing for the old lady to faint from anger. Now that she is leaving the old man and the old man behind, how could Lu Mingxuan They all stay, could it be that something has something to do with her?But since Mrs. Lu had already sent a message to make everyone disperse, no matter how curious they were, they could only bow to each other and retreated one by one.

Soon, the room was crowded with people just now, and only the old man, Lu Zhongmian and Lu Mingxuan were left.

Only then did Zhang Momo say: "Old Madam, please invite the old Duke, the Duke and Miss Xuan into the room to talk."

Three generations of grandparents then entered Mrs. Lu's inner room.

She saw Mrs. Lu leaning palely on the big pillow on the bed, and when she saw the three of them coming in, she waved to Lu Mingxuan. After Lu Mingxuan walked up and down, she grabbed Lu Mingxuan's hand and said with a choked voice, "It's all grandma. I'm sorry for making you suffer all this time..."

This talk was endless, Lu Mingxuan hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't say that, you have treated me as much as a mountain, and I will always remember your great kindness and virtue, so why do you say it wronged? You old man is serious. .”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Lu said excitedly: "I'm not serious, it's really me, the grandmother, who is sorry for you, and let you be a daughter of the government, but you can only live in the name of a side girl. How many grievances you have suffered in these years, and now even the marriage that was arranged early in the morning has changed because of your status as a side girl, it is because of grandmother's fault..."

After Lu Mingxuan heard this, she realized that the affair between Zhao Yanjie and Lu Mingxin had happened, and because she was busy looking at Zhang Nanny, Zhang Nanny began to talk in detail.

It turned out that the old man came to Rongtaiju cheerfully before dinner, and told Mrs. Lu that there was a happy event. Seeing that the day when the rankings would be released, Mrs. Lu was about to tell the old man that Lu Mingxuan and Mrs. Zhao Yanjie's marriage made people spread the word everywhere, so that the evening would not have to pass, and planned to discuss with the old man how to find a future for Zhao Yanjie, and arrange the dowry with Lu Mingxuan, because he said that he also had a Tell the old man about the happy event, and then ask the old man to talk first.

Unexpectedly, the old man said that it was Zhao Yanjie's marriage. He said that since Zhao Yanjie won the Juren, he thought that the fat and water would not flow to outsiders, and planned to promise Lu Mingxin to him. He just thought that he would know after the ranking Knowing whether Zhao Yanjie won or not, he could bring up the matter, so he put it on hold for the time being, but Lu Zhongjing also took a fancy to Zhao Yanjie as his son-in-law, so he specially came to beg him today, to see if he could come forward and tell Zhao Yanjie that he wanted to marry him. Lu Mingxin promised it to him and asked him if he would like it.

The old man told Lu Zhongjing about his considerations, but Lu Zhongjing was impatient, because he asked Lu Wenyuan to ask Zhao Yanjie what was on his mind immediately, and if he wanted to, he could settle the matter earlier and wait for Lu Mingxin After the filial piety, the wedding can be held, and he, as a father, will have a worry sooner.

Since the death of Mrs. Lu, the old man has always felt that he owed Lu Zhongjing a little bit. Now that he cares so much about his daughter's marriage and wants to go with him again, he is very happy to hear it, and immediately makes people feel happy. He went and called Lu Wenyuan, and gave him such and such orders.

Lu Wenyuan took the order to go, and came back about half an hour later, saying that Zhao Yanjie had that intention, and the matter was likely to be successful, so the old man immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Yanjie to tell him what he wanted, and Zhao Yanjie would consider it. After waiting for about a stick of incense, he said that he was willing to make good friends with Qin and Jin with the Duke's mansion, and it was his good fortune to be able to marry the fifth girl.

The old man and Lu Zhongjing were very happy when they heard the words. Lu Zhongjing immediately took a piece of ancient jade from his waist and exchanged tokens with Zhao Yanjie. After filial piety, there are three books and six rituals.

After the marriage was settled, the old man thought that Zhao Yanjie's closest relative in Beijing was Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu was an elder, so he should talk to Mrs. Lu about this anyway, so he went Rong Taiju told Mrs. Lu about the matter.

I thought Mrs. Lu would be happy to hear this. After all, it was a good thing to support her natal family. Who knew that Mrs. Lu's face turned ashen immediately, and asked in a bitter voice: "It's really a marriage that Yanjie himself promised. Him?" After getting an affirmative answer from the old man, she leaned back and passed out, which alarmed everyone.

"...This is the cause and effect of the whole thing." Before Madam Zhang finished speaking, Mrs. Lu said angrily: "That bastard Zhao Yanjie is ungrateful, ungrateful at the sight of profit, and wants to climb higher branches as soon as he gains power. , things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, I treat them like his grandsons, and they are all the best for food and clothing. In order to fear that he will be wronged, I even send people to beat the people who serve him every now and then. I always think about him, that's how he repays me, but I'm just a small juren, I don't know if I can be a Jinshi, even if I am a Jinshi, so what, if I die, I'm just a seventh-rank Hanlin , dare to look down on my granddaughter, really blinded him!"

If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Yanjie was optimistic about Zhao Yanjie as Lu Mingxuan's future husband from the very beginning, if it wasn't for Lu Mingxuan's love for the house, how could Mrs. Lu be so kind to Zhao Yanjie just because of her status as a nephew? Mrs. Lu has many nephews, Zhao Yanjie Apart from being able to read a little, there is really nothing special about him. Why should Mrs. Lu look at him differently, not to mention that his grandmother is only Mrs. Lu's concubine sister?

Who would have thought that Zhao Yanjie had enjoyed all the benefits brought to him by Lu Mingxuan's status, but now that he was just selected for the Juren, he began to despise Lu Mingxuan in turn, treating Lu Mingxin as a concubine as a treasure, thinking that he had climbed up What an extraordinary Gao Zhi'er - no wonder he told himself that he would delay the date of engagement as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he also said that it would make the Lu family and Lu Mingxuan more honorable to propose marriage after high school. He was just fooling her, he It's really abhorrent to abandon Lu Mingxuan early in the morning and try to climb another branch!

After Mrs. Lu scolded Zhao Yanjie, she started scolding Lu Mingxin again: "Hey, you're a dirty seed who can't get on a high platform, and you haven't seen a man in your life, but when you see a man who is a little more handsome, you rush up to him, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get married. I really think that those of us who are elders are dead, or are we afraid that we will sell her? I don't even think about it. She is a concubine, and she can get a few taels of silver. I can buy a good reputation with only a few thousand silver. When I am as stupid as her, I don’t want to spend this little money? I hate that she is still in the filial piety period, and she wants to be crazy about men. , If it gets out, our family's face and reputation will be lost!"
