Chapter 1222 Sun Family

Lu Chuming didn't seem to notice the intrigue hidden in Xu's gentle inquiry. He just replied gently and politely: "I am planning to live in Beijing for a few months and ask some elders for advice." He also told Xu

, after the two brothers came to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion to say hello, they immediately went to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion next door. He also had a few articles that he wanted to show to his uncle Qin Bai.

Mrs. Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily: "That's good. In Changlu, there are far fewer teachers who can teach you about your studies than in the capital. Although your father can also teach you,

But he is still busy with official duties, so where can he help you with your homework every day? Instead of staying in Changlu, you might as well stay in the capital and keep company with your brother. If you don't understand anything in learning, you can always go to Xifu for advice.

Your brothers go there from time to time, and brother Jian always shows his articles to your uncle every three or five days. Since you are back, let him take you with him. Whether it is to Xifu or

Go to Shoushan Bo's Mansion, and he will guide you. You can ask whoever you want for advice."

Lu Chuming smiled and thanked Mr. Xu for his advice, and then talked about his life in Changlu and his recuperation "after illness". There was basically nothing special about it. Mr. Xu didn't pay much attention to it and agreed casually.

In the previous sentence, she was still talking about Qin Youzhen's current condition, but in the next sentence she suddenly asked about a topic that was out of the question: "You are not young anymore, has your father ever mentioned your marriage?"

Lu Chuming paused and smiled sheepishly: "Well... I originally planned to take the high school exam..."

Xu interrupted him before he could finish his words: "When will that happen?! You missed this subject this year. The next examination will be three years later. You will be almost 20 by then."

, it’s too late! If you fail, won’t it be delayed for another three years? According to me, it is very rare for a child of your age to be able to get the honorary title before taking the exam. Ten scholars

There may not even be one among them! Just because the imperial examination has been going well before, you can't think that you will win as soon as you take the imperial examination. You can easily make reckless decisions and delay life-long events. Other families get married after they win the imperial examination.

, there are even those who were not admitted as scholars and got married as a child. If you have to become a scholar before getting married, you are pushing yourself too hard. This person, when he reaches the age where he should have a family, he has to get married. There are

If you marry a wife and have children in two years, you will become a father and you will truly be stable. By then, your knowledge will also have improved."

Lu Chuming laughed dryly, lowered his head shyly, and said nothing. Lu Chuliang interjected with a smile: "My great-aunt said so, could it be that my brother can't pass the next subject? My eldest cousin also passed the exam immediately.

I just thought my ranking was too low, so I wanted to retake the exam in the next subject. My second cousin-in-law also failed, and is now a Hanlin scholar. My brother’s knowledge is pretty good, and he doesn’t dare to compare with his second cousin-in-law, but

Not much worse than my eldest cousin, right?"

Xu suffocated for a moment, and then she realized that what she just said was a bit inappropriate, as if she was sure that Lu Chuming would fail the next test, which was a little unlucky. But she had no choice. If Lu Chuming really decided to

If Xu Xiu had to wait until after taking the national examination, becoming a Jinshi, and getting engaged and married, how could Xu Xiu wait until then? She was already one year older than Lu Chuming, and now she is not too young. Three years later, she will be a twenty-year-old girl

.Unless she can clearly confirm her marriage with the Lu family, she really can't wait.

Mrs. Xu could only explain to Lu Chuliang with a dry smile: "Aren't I worried that your brother really has to pass the Jinshi exam before he wants to get married? It would be fine if he can pass the next subject. There is nothing wrong with starting a family and starting a business at the age of the crown.

Yes. But what if he fails the exam? Wouldn't it delay a life-long event? What if by the time you get married, your brother still hasn't found a wife, it would be too pitiful."

Lu Chuliang laughed and put his arm around his brother's shoulders: "Brother, don't worry, if that day comes, I will definitely help my mother find a fiancée for you first, and I won't let you be single!"

Lu Chuming glanced at him helplessly, with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Xu watched their brothers laughing and thinking that it was useless to talk to them about such matters. Since the Lu family had not engaged Lu Chuming yet, then as long as she persuaded her niece Qin Youzhen, the marriage would be stable.

Qin Youzhen brought Lu Chuming back to Beijing, which seemed to revive Xu's spirit. She took medicine and rested cooperatively, trying to make her condition better. She sent people to see her niece's condition every day, and also used her usual doctor.

She sent it to Qin Youzhen for diagnosis and treatment, and also sent a lot of supplements. She was showing her presence as an aunt at all times, and she also wanted to show everyone how deep her relationship was with her niece. The latter was simply

Raised by her!

Qin Youzhen spent three days recovering from her illness at home, and finally "recovered". When her health was good, she went to the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion to greet Xu and visit her. Regarding the reason for Xu's illness, she did not mention the Xu family at all.

, just talking about the weather: "It's so strange today. First it was very hot, and then it rained heavily for a few days. Then it became clear for a few days, and then it started raining again. These days

Has it never stopped raining in the Beijing area? Although the rain is not heavy, it is gloomy all day long, which makes people feel bad. The worst thing is that it rains and winds, sometimes it is cold, sometimes it is hot, it is really

It makes people very hard to guard against. If you are a little careless, you will get sick."

Mrs. Xu's attention was not on the weather, she just smiled: "Yes, because of the constant rain, this year's autumn crops have been greatly damaged, and people in many places have been affected by the disaster. Your third aunt and a few relatives and friends

The ladies and grandmothers at home discussed together that we should donate money to do charity and give out porridge and medicine. Unfortunately, I am not in good health and I am busy with things at home, so I cannot join in the fun with them. If you have time, you can go too.

Look. Although it’s a small thing, it’s good to get to know a few more people.”

Qin Youzhen responded and asked about the specific details of this good deed. Xu didn't want to talk to her about this at all, and quickly turned the topic back to the things she cared about: "How long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

?Chu Ming said that he will stay in the capital for a few more months. Are you not going back to Changlu for a few months? Doesn't it matter if son-in-law Lu is alone there? In fact, I am still a little surprised about the wedding of the third girl and Prince Suning.

There's still half a month left, why are you here so early? But what are you planning to do in Beijing?"

Qin Youzhen coughed twice with an unnatural expression: "I don't plan to do anything. I just... want to find a good husband for Chu Ming. I just want to study hard in the past few years. Besides..." She paused again

After a meal, he said, "A few days ago, Mr. Sun, the chief envoy of Zhili Province, came to inspect the salt field, and he hit it off with us. Mr. Sun heard that I planned to go to Beijing to have a wedding banquet with relatives, and remembered that his brother's birthday was coming soon, so he asked us to do it for him.

He came back with a birthday gift. Although it was just a small matter, it is rare for our master to make such a friend. Mr. Sun, whether in Zhili or in Beijing, is very famous and has a wide network of contacts. If you can make good friends with him, it will be a great success for you.

Our master’s career is very beneficial. Therefore..."

Mrs. Xu understood: "Then the birthday of Mr. Sun's brother must be coming soon? It is much earlier than the day when the third girl gets married?" Otherwise, why would Qin Youzhen come to Beijing in advance?

Qin Youzhen smiled sheepishly: "It will be almost three or four days later. I have asked the housekeeper to prepare gifts, and I plan to personally bring Chu Ming to celebrate his birthday."

Mrs. Xu recalled the family history of the Zhili Chief Envoy and seemed to have some impression: "Isn't this Mr. Sun the nephew of Princess Xiuning? But it doesn't seem like they live in the same house?"

Qin Youzhen nodded: "They are cousins, but they are relatively close in terms of kinship, and they are not in the fifth class."

"That's it. I remember that his wife also came to our house with Princess Xiuning. But that was more than ten years ago." Mrs. Xu suddenly thought of something nervously, "How many people do he have in his family?"

Children?" Are you marrying the Lu family?

Qin Youzhen replied calmly: "Master Sun has two sons and one daughter. Both sons have gone to school. The eldest son is also a civil servant, so he gets along well with us at Chuming. The younger son is now studying in the Imperial College, and the younger daughter is only seven years old.

Yuxue is very cute. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her, and I really wish I could accept her as my goddaughter."

Hearing that the Sun family's daughter was only seven years old, Mrs. Xu felt relieved and said with a smile, "It would be great if we could become close friends with the Sun family. The Sun family has been scholarly for generations, and we are just related to Prince Xiuning's family."

, it will be enough for his family. If you can establish a relationship with the palace, you will have a backer in the court in the future."

Qin Youzhen thought to herself that the Lu family now had enough support just by being in-laws from Yongjia Marquis Mansion and Yunyang Marquis Mansion. How could there be any need to count on the crooked friendship with Prince Xiuning Mansion? However, she did not intend to refute it.

After hearing what Xu said, he responded with a smile.

Mrs. Xu also recalled some situations of the Sun family: "Master Sun's brother is naturally the nephew of Princess Xiuning. I remember... there seems to be such a person, who seems to be making sacrificial wine in the Imperial College.

It doesn't matter if you come to celebrate your birthday in the early morning, if you say a few nice words, if you can get Sun Jijiu's appreciation, you won't have to worry about finding anyone to ask for advice on your homework."

Qin Youzhen paused, then smiled and responded.

Mrs. Xu thought she had asked Qin Youzhen clearly why she brought her eldest son back to Beijing, and smiled in a relaxed mood: "You and your wife are worried about your child. I think Chu Ming is very good, he knows etiquette and is sensible.

Whether he is studying or not, he will definitely live up to the expectations of you and your wife. It is rare to see a sixteen-year-old Juren in the capital, let alone such an outstanding talent. Wait until you marry him a virtuous wife, there will be no need

I’ll be able to have my grandson in two years. Until then, this life will be beautiful!”

The topic seems to have come around again.

Qin Youzhen was mentally prepared. The smile on her face did not change, and she changed her words: "Mother, you are exaggerating too much. Don't let Chu Ming hear it, or he will be proud!" She pretended to be low-key as she said so.

The voice said, "Now in front of Chu Liang, I don't dare to praise Chu Ming too much, for fear that there will be resentment between the brothers..."

Mrs. Xu listened with a smile, not caring about it in her heart. She had only had a few months to give her a favor, and it was almost time for the filial piety in Xu's family room. She didn't believe it, and she couldn't say that this marriage was going to happen!
