Lu Ze and Qi Guogong had a very happy chat.
Some of the temperament of this young prince is due to following his father, the prince of the country.
Although he has a noble temperament, he does not have the slightest condescension in his dealings with others.
This aspect is quite different from the princess next to her.
The Duke of Qi had a bright smile on his face and felt that he was very close to chatting with the newly promoted Sheng Xiu Zhuan.
No wonder there are often rumors in the palace recently that the official family intends to promote this Shanda man.
Duke Guo of Qi looked at the sons and daughters of the Sheng family. His smile never faded and he said in admiration: "Brother Sheng is so lucky. His son is a talented person, his daughter is slim and graceful, and his children are prosperous. This is the blessing of the whole family."
The princess looked a little uncomfortable.
What Lu Ze just said was aimed at the princess, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it.
This is how cultural people disgust people.
At this time, the eldest lady was laughing in her heart with great joy.
She noticed the flash of concern on Princess Pingning's face, and took the initiative to say: "Although having more children means blessings, we are not a farmer's family after all. We have to rely on the men to work and fight for water. The so-called good children You don’t need more. If your young father-in-law is as ambitious as you are, one is enough. If you don’t live up to your expectations, the more parents you have, the more headaches you will feel.”
Princess Pingning suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny: "What the eldest lady said is absolutely true."
Lu Ze glanced at the eldest lady in slight surprise. During this time, the eldest lady seemed to have made a lot of progress.
With Hualan getting married, Changbai passing the imperial examination, and Lin Qige's sudden downfall, the eldest lady gradually began to show the temperament of a matron, and even went to visit the old lady more often. few.
Although Lu Ze knew that this lady was still a little naive and stupid at heart, it was enough to be able to do this.
Lu Ze's expectations for her were very low: as long as nothing bad happened.
Qi Guogong and his wife went to Shou'an Hall to visit the old lady and then left. The eldest lady took Lu Ze to Wei Ruixuan, saying that she had important matters to discuss with him.
"Guardian, now Bai'er has also won the imperial examination."
"There have been a lot of people from our Sheng family coming to propose marriage recently, and my brother happens to have someone on his knees..."
Lu Ze immediately shook his head in rejection.
Examples of marriages between cousins were also popular in this era. Lu Ze still had some resistance to such marriages between close relatives.
There is something wrong with the child born without protection.
"Madam, don't be impatient. Bai'er is the eldest son, and his marriage should be solemn. Don't be in a hurry to talk about marriage now. Wait until the spring of next year. If he is nominated on the apricot list, we will find a reputable family with him. A good marriage is the right thing to do."
Lu Ze thought to himself that my promotion speed might be faster.
Lu Ze also knew what the situation was like in the Wang family where the eldest lady lived. He was worried about letting Chang Bai marry a girl from the Wang family.
A naive and stupid eldest lady is enough. You can't have a smaller eldest lady, right?
Or a smaller Aunt Kang?
...
Autumn in Bianjing is very short. After a few rains, it was already extremely cold.
The careful Minglan prepared two knee pads in advance and planned to give them to her two brothers. Recently, Chang Feng was frantically preparing for next year's exam, while Chang Bai was busy preparing for the spring exam.
….
Minglan had some idea that her third brother Chang Feng worked so hard, and she guessed it was because of Miss Lin from Lin Qige.
"Three brothers, although it is good to work hard, you must also take care of your health."
"Well...if you don't like eating, then drink more hot water to warm yourself up."
Chang Feng raised his thin cheeks, waved the knee pads in his hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sixth Sister."
Then, Minglan went to the courtyard of her second brother Changbai. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she was led in by the maid from Changbai's house and sat down, and then watched the tea being served.
Heart, several maids came in and out without making any sound.
Moreover, the looks of the maids in the courtyard are extremely ordinary, even more so when compared with Chang Feng's place.
well.
Big brother is really a wonderful person!
Minglan was thinking wildly when Changbai came back from school.
As soon as he saw Minglan sitting there, he said, "Sixth sister is here? Although Zhuang Xuexue has let you girls go to school a little earlier, please don't delay your homework, especially your calligraphy."
"That handwriting of yours...can you clearly read what it is?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Laoliu lowered his head and his face turned red unconsciously.
The ugly writing was the biggest pain in her heart.
Minglan didn't know why, but she copied so many copybooks, but in the end the effect was very poor. As she wrote, it became Sheng Laoliu's own writing style, which made Zhuang Xuexue feel particularly headache.
Minglan lowered her head and endured the scolding silently, unable to reply.
Because he was scolded even more for his words, he had no choice but to listen honestly with his ears drooped. Xiao Tao on the side was covering her mouth and snickering very unfaithfully.
Changbai also realized that he had said too much, so he took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat: "Why did the sixth sister come to my yard?"
Minglan finally breathed a sigh of relief and silently thought to herself, "Second brother, you finally remembered to ask." She quickly handed the knee pads she made by herself to Changbai in front of her: "The weather has been cold recently, and Second brother often sits in the bookstore." When sitting forward, you need to protect your knees."
"Sixth sister, thank you for your trouble." Changbai nodded slightly.
"Oh, it took a lot of effort to make my knee pads. Second brother, look at my little hands. They have lost their luster. I have been pricked by needles many times." Minglan puffed her mouth, her face still Roududu tells about his difficulties.
Changbai stretched out his hand to rub the soft bangs covering Minglan's forehead, and said with a smile: "In a few days, Youyang's hometown will send fresh river fish unique to that place, and the second brother will give you two of the biggest ones in private."
Minglan immediately smiled happily and saluted cheerfully: "Thank you, second brother."
Changbai then remembered Qi Heng's complaints and requests to him, and said to Minglan: "I only have this knee pad, and..."
[In view of the general environment,
"The second brother and the third brother are all there."
"What about Yuan Ruo?"
Minglan suddenly said in a serious voice: "My young father-in-law is a foreigner. We sisters are getting older, so we should avoid suspicion."
Changbai smiled slightly: "I heard that he asked someone to deliver something to you, but you stopped him outside?"
Qi Heng wanted to play with Minglan these days, and he also prepared many small and exquisite gifts for her, but Minglan rejected them one by one. Minglan said that sugar-coated bullets were of no use to her.
"Both sisters don't have one, so it makes no sense that I'm the only one who has one."
Minglan looked at the second brother in front of her and continued in a clear voice: "Brother, think about it for me. I'll call the fourth sister and the fifth sister later. What should I do? My father punished the fourth sister in the first place, and you, second brother, also know about it."
"Second brother, let's talk to him about the reason."
Minglan's attitude was very determined.
Changbai looked at Minglan quietly for a while. In front of him, the sixth sister was gradually losing her childlike color, and her white teeth were bright and her eyes were elegant.
He pondered for a while and nodded slowly: "Yuanruo has had no brothers or sisters since he was a child. He only wanted to get closer to his sixth sister when he saw her happy. But now it is indeed necessary to avoid suspicion. I will tell him."
Looking at Minglan's leaving figure, Changbai sighed slightly in his heart, with a look of pity in his eyes.
"Sixth sister looks stupid."
"Actually, he is more discerning than anyone else."
"She deserves to be named Ming by her father."
