Although the clan members were opposed to it, Mrs. Lu, Lu Mengheng and Lu Yijian, were in favor. 【Read full text】
In their eyes, Xu Gucheng was of good character, talented and knowledgeable, and had a bright future.
The first two years after Ms. Lu's marriage may be tiring, but the days after that will get better and better.
As for Lu Erniang, she was still young at the time and thought the tea ordered by Xu Gucheng was delicious, so she thought her sister's marriage was a good one.
Only Mrs. Lu was opposed.
She didn't care how talented Xu Gucheng was, or how bright his future would be. She just thought that the Xu family was too far away from Beijing, and she wouldn't be able to support her daughter in time if her daughter was bullied in the future.
Mrs. Lu felt very uneasy when she thought that her daughter would marry far away, face people she had never met before, and even have children in a foreign country.
But in the end, she still couldn't defeat Mr. Lu and agreed to such a marriage. After that, she was warned a lot.
Later, Mrs. Lu's temperament changed drastically, and Mrs. Lu fell into self-blame, thinking that she should not have compromised in the first place, otherwise her daughter would not have suffered so much.
As for the promise, she always felt that she had replaced the real Xu Liuniang to enjoy the love of Xu Gucheng and Lu. She felt a little sorry for them in her heart. She wanted to compensate but had no chance to compensate, and always kept them busy and dedicated for her.
Today, she seemed to have found a way to make up for the apology in her heart.
She only met Mrs. Lu three times, and there was no family relationship between them, so she had no feeling at all about Mrs. Lu's indifference.
However, if this indifference will affect Lu, then she will care.
If this indifference could be eliminated, Lu might feel better.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Xu family went to the Lu family to pay New Year greetings. On the second day, Xu Nuo went to Hu Mansion to practice Cuju.
The day for entering the palace to perform Cuju was set on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
Cuju performed in the palace is different from ordinary games. It does not require a goal. It is just played in vain and performed with complicated kicks.
Most of the people in the Qiyun Society formed by Hu Ling are only good at competitions and are not very skilled in the white-playing performance of Cuju.
Hu Ling was heartbroken over this.
If you are qualified to perform Cuju in the palace, if you fail in the performance, you might as well not go!
Hu Ling believed that County Lord Jiaren was waiting to see her joke, but she would not let anyone see her joke because she would not make a fool of herself.
In order not to make a fool of themselves, the people from Qiyunshe started playing Cuju on the second day after winning the competition, with the movements required for white playing, such as turning flower branches, shooting stars chasing the moon, small out of the top, big out of the top, falling flowers and flowing water, Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and kicking the flower heart.
It is an honor to perform Cuju when entering the palace. Not only Hu Ling is anxious to practice, but other ladies of Qiyun Society also want to master these movements as soon as possible so that they can perform well when entering the palace.
Xu Nuo set off early that day, expecting to be the first to arrive, but she didn't expect someone to arrive at Hu's house before her.
When she opened the curtain and went in, she saw Hu Ling and Lu Jiuniang sitting on the couch eating snacks.
"Liu Niang, you're here. Sit down and warm your hands and feet first." She knew Xu Nuo's hands and feet were easily icy, so she said this.
Xu Nuo knew martial arts and was very good at it. Although she tried to hide it, her footsteps were still different from those of other women. Therefore, Hu Ling knew it was her without even raising his eyes.
Xunuo came in and saw that Lu Jiuniang was a little confused, but her face didn't change and she said with a smile: "Cousin, you are here."
She went to the Lu family yesterday and agreed to Lu Jiuniang to let her come and practice Cuju together. She sent someone to send a message to Hu Ling this morning. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuniang arrived at the Hu family at noon.
It's so fast.
"Cousin of the Xu family, you came so early."
Lu Jiuniang smiled heartlessly, then moved her buttocks to make way for Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo thought to herself, it's not too early for me to come, but it's early for you, cousin.
Hu Ling looked at the two people opposite, one was smiling like a flower, the other was as calm as water, and said: "Don't call me cousin, just call me Liu Niang and Jiu Niang, otherwise it will sound awkward to me."
Hu Ling remembered that Lu Jiuniang once wanted to join the Huafang Club, but the head of Jiaren County disliked her poor performance and did not want her.
I never saw Lu Jiuniang play football again.
I thought that Lu Jiuniang's love for Cuju was extinguished by Jiaren County Lord like many other ladies, but she didn't expect that she is still interested in Cuju and wants to join the Qiyun Club.
This kind of persistence is rare, and it shows that I really like it.
"Okay, sixth cousin, I will call you Liu Niang here. You can also call me Jiuniang. There are no sisters, just friends."
Lu Jiuniang has always been considerate, and she was worried that saying Xu Nuo first would show that Xu Nuo, the younger sister, did not respect her sister, so she brought it up first.
Xu Nuo said politely, "Okay, I'll call you Jiuniang from now on."
"Then we'll just wait and see." Lu Jiuniang suddenly realized after she finished her words.
"I am Shang Shang." The three of them said in unison.
After talking, they looked at each other and laughed.
There was constant laughter in the room.
Lu Jiuniang's motor nerves are not as developed as Hu Ling's promise, or even very weak. She is neither careless nor well-behaved. She is casual but gentle, has her own opinions but does not come across as overbearing. She somehow gets along well with the two of them.
While the three of them were talking, a few more people arrived, and soon more than a dozen people from Qiyun Club arrived and gathered in the courtyard to start practicing.
Xu Nuo and Hu Ling knew martial arts, and those movements were easy for them to master, but the movements made by other women were either too soft or shapeless, and were simply unsightly.
Xu Nuo couldn't believe that the people training together now were the same people who trained for the competition before.
Hu Ling couldn't stand it any longer. He felt that these ladies had changed over the years. He opened his voice and shouted: "If you are like this, no one will be able to enter the palace by then. I can't allow people of this level to perform in the palace." . I asked you to review your moves at home during the New Year. How did you review them? Do you think that if you have the opportunity to enter the palace, your status will be different if the mistress is a little more polite to you? "
Hu Ling rarely spoke in such a strong tone to the ladies of Qiyun Society. She always endured her temper and was patient.
But now that the day of performing in the palace is approaching, these ladies' useless moves not only failed to improve, but also regressed. I really can't bear it.
Hu Ling said this suddenly, Xu Nuo didn't expect it. Looking at the group of ladies looking at each other, he hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Sisters have seen people from Huafang Club playing football. Their soft yet strong strength is not suitable for Cuju competition, but it is It's suitable for performing Cuju in the palace. You may only see beautiful and delicate ladies during the few days of the New Year, and you have forgotten how fiercely we practiced the game before."
After hearing the promise to smooth things over, Hu Ling realized that she had spoken a little too fiercely just now, and her expression softened.
Xunuo felt relieved when he saw that Hu Lingchun had become more energetic, and continued: "However, our fierceness was not suitable for performing Cuju in the palace. This must not scare away those watching. Let's combine our fierceness with softness." Combine your strength, go fast when you should be fast, slow when you should be slow, and master the rhythm of the free action..."
