Chapter 552 Before Marriage (1)
The words made Lu Mingxin feel heavy in his heart. Aunt Kong's worries were not her own worries?
It stands to reason that Zhao Yanjie and her have formally engaged in marriage, so they have passed the road in front of everyone. Even if she was sent to the family temple by the elders to "pray for blessings", Zhao Yanjie would occasionally give her something or give her a gift. A letter or something is within the allowable range, but in the past two years or so, he has never sent it to himself.

Even if she kept comforting herself in her heart that he was busy with his studies and couldn't spare time to care about these trivial matters, how could he really be without the slightest sense of loss or anxiety?

But now, no matter how lost and anxious she is, she can only go on along this road. A good choice, at least, as soon as she passes through the door, she is the imperial wife, at least as soon as she passes through the door, she can be the master of the house, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Mingxin felt a lot better. Pulling the handkerchief from his lapel, he wiped away Aunt Kong's tears and said, "Don't cry, Auntie. Even if his heart is not on me now, I believe that everyone's heart is still there." As long as I treat him with sincerity, I will definitely be able to get his sincerity back. Even if I can’t get his sincerity back, he is a person who reads sage books, and the decency and respect he deserves must be mine. Then I will just be a couple with him who respect each other as guests. How many couples can truly connect with each other in this world? Even the elder sister and the fourth elder sister who were as noble as before are just like that when they are married now. How could I be more honorable than the two of them, so to be able to marry a young Jinshi like my husband, I am already satisfied, because only when I am satisfied can I be happy!"

As a concubine's concubine, the entire Duke's mansion is only one piece taller than half a master like my aunt, the so-called master's girl, Lu Mingxin has always been a very law-abiding person, the only thing she has done in this life is to be with Zhao Yanjie He gave and accepted in private, and finally turned Zhao Yanjie into his husband as he wished.

Later, she went to the family temple to eat fast for two years and read the Buddha for two years, and her temperament, which had no edges and corners, was worn down even more, so even if Zhao Yanjie really still had Lu Mingxuan in her heart, she was confident that she could Live a good life, and she will be able to live a good life too!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Lu Mingxin's marriage in early June. No matter how much Mrs. Lu didn't want to see Zhao Yanjie, Zhao Yanjie's status as a new master still made the Dingguo government decide to arrange the marriage.

Ling Mengqi had to come to the door to congratulate and help, but he is now a middle-level and senior official of the fourth rank, which is different from what it used to be. Who would really send him any errands in the Dingguo government, so he would just let him be the groom's official. After arriving, together with a group of brothers from the Lu family, they helped to block the door, and it was just a symbolic embarrassment for the groom.

At the second quarter of the unitary hour, with a burst of "cracking" firecrackers and the sound of silk and bamboo suonas, there was a chorus of singing outside: "The groom is here to welcome the bride—"

All the brothers from the Lu family, Ling Mengqi and the others stood behind the door with a smile on their faces.

After all, they had lived together for a few years, and everyone didn't make things difficult for Zhao Yanjie. They only asked him a few riddles, asked him to compose a few makeup poems, and then opened the door.

Dressed in bright red auspicious clothes, Zhao Yanjie with a calm face appeared in front of everyone. Everyone came forward to say hello to him laughingly, shouting 'brother-in-law' and 'brother-in-law', it was very lively.

While chatting with everyone, Zhao Yanjie quietly cast his eyes on Ling Mengqi next to him. Since what happened at the beginning, he has never seen Ling Mengqi again, let alone Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingxuan. Originally, he was still holding on to a fluke hope today, maybe he could see his aunt and grandmother and sister Xuan?

But now this idea has also been dispelled. Brother Ling Shi is not only born better than himself, but also has more abilities than himself. He is already a member of the fourth rank at a young age. Yes, I heard that he values ​​sister Xuan very much, as long as sister Xuan can live well, he can rest assured.

From then on, Sister Xuan has Sister Xuan's life, has her own path to walk, and she has her own responsibilities, and has her own path to walk. At the beginning, it was just a dream, and now it should be a dream. Time to come to real life.

Sister Xuan, please take care!

Also, please don't forget your former cousin Zhao... No, you should forget it, such a perfidious, high-spirited person, what qualifications do you have to expect you to always remember him...

After drinking Lu Mingxin's homecoming wine, Lu Mingxuan tidied up and returned to her home.

Of course, everyone had to add makeup to her before leaving. Mrs. Lu's is a set of ruby ​​hairstyles that Lu Wenting ordered Grandma Lu to prepare on her behalf, and Grandma Lu's own is a set of fist-sized, twelve-piece hair. The jade bowl, Duan's is a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with precious stones, a pair of suet jade jade pendants, and Second Grandma Lu is a pair of golden steps with multicolored gemstones... Maybe it's because everyone has long been unaware of her true identity. Xuan, so the makeup added to her is more valuable than the ones given to Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxin a while ago.

Mrs. Lu gave her a hot spring resort in public before, but in fact it was Concubine Luo who "added make-up" to her. This time, she did not give her any more expensive things on the surface, but a few more ingenious jewelry. , but privately gave her 5000 taels of silver bills, and asked her to keep it and make it into a box of silver.

Even the old man ordered the capable wife around him to send her 3000 taels of silver bills in private, plus the Zhuangzi shops that Lu Wenzhu and Lu Mingzhu distributed to her before, her dowry is conservatively estimated to be around 5 More than [-] taels, not to mention that she is only a side branch girl of Dingguo Duke's mansion on the surface, even if she is as noble as Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingzhu, the dowry of the two when they got married was only this amount, more is limited, it is really good A heavy fortune!
When I got home, I had to tidy up and tidy up for a few days before I settled down.

Lu Zhongxian had had the furniture finished for her earlier, a complete set of high-quality black lacquer furniture, the paint surface was smooth and shiny, the porcelain and tin dishes were all complete sets, and the bed curtains and quilts were of old styles that lasted for a long time, and there were nearly two kinds of them. A new trick that became popular in the past year... It can be seen that Lu Zhongxian not only spent a lot of money, but also spent countless efforts.

While Lu Mingxuan was grateful, she became more determined about a thought that had always existed in her heart for a long time.

So when Ling Mengqi came to see her one day, I discussed with him: "No one else knows how Daddy has treated me these years, but you know, so I have long thought that when I have the ability in the future, I will do better." I prepared a set of make-up for my elder sister, and some property for my two younger brothers in the future. When my sister got married, I prepared four sets of gold noodles and two sets of silver noodles, plus 2000 taels of silver, a total of more than 3000 taels. Although it is not rich, considering my family background at that time, it is not too thin. If I want to make up for my sister now, she will definitely not want it. Paying too much money, what will a woman do with money when she can rely on her mother-in-law's family, but only when she can't rely on people, can she have to rely on money, I hope she will never have to rely on money in her life."
