Lu Chuliang had half of the big things on his mind settled, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing he had missed, so he felt relieved to part with his two good friends and return to his home.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his brother Lu Chuming sitting in the front hall, quietly holding a book and a cup of tea in his hand, obviously waiting for him.

Lu Chuliang paused for a moment. For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he couldn't help but feel... a little scared.

He smiled dryly and waved to his brother: "Brother, are you reading here? You're really working hard. It's so hot today, please take care of yourself. I'm going back to the house to freshen up. I'm really sweating today..."

"stop."

Lu Chuliang had only taken two steps when he was fixed by the two words "calm". He was tangled in his heart, turned around slowly, and muttered dejectedly: "I will definitely give you my homework tonight."

It’s done... If you can’t finish it, I’ll make it up tomorrow! Brother, please forgive me this time? I will definitely not do it again in the future.”

Lu Chuming was angry and funny: "Didn't you tell the girl before you went out that you went to buy books, paper and pens today? Where are the things?"

Lu Chuliang had just finished a big event, and he was so happy that he had forgotten the excuse for going out! In desperation, he had no choice but to defend himself: "I was going to buy something, but I met two people on the way.

Friends, we started chatting, and when we got into the conversation, we just... forgot about it..."

Seeing his brother's cowardice, Lu Chuming sighed and called someone closer: "Sit down. Let's have a good chat."

Lu Chuliang walked over slowly and sat down opposite Lu Chuming, but he only dared to sit on half of the round stool.

Lu Chuming calmly poured a cup of tea for his younger brother, and spoke as if chatting about family matters: "Did you go to Xu's parents' room today?"

Lu Chuliang suddenly choked on his saliva and looked at his brother blankly: "How did you know?"

Lu Chuming smiled: "When Mrs. Xu returned to Chengenhou Mansion, your servant was pestering the second servant of the Xu family to find out the address and layout of the Xu family's house, right? Do you think?

What are you going to do? You shouldn’t be stupid enough to sneak into someone’s house and do something shameful, right?”

"Of course I won't be so stupid!" Lu Chuliang muttered in a low voice. He didn't expect that his actions would be discovered by his brother. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth what he had done today.

The more Lu Chuming listened, the more surprised he became. He looked at his younger brother in surprise: "How could you come up with this idea?!" Unbeknownst to him, his younger brother had actually grown from the child who only knew how to eat and play silly to what he is today.

Looks like you have a plan?

Lu Chuliang smiled: "That day, my great-aunt heard the news about my brother's engagement. After vomiting blood, she questioned my mother, which made my mother sad and sad, and my brother was also worried. When I saw your appearance, I felt in my heart that we can't let this happen again.

Things continued to happen! Even if my maternal aunt was very kind to my mother, my mother did not do anything to feel sorry for her. She loved her wholeheartedly, so why should she suffer such injustice?

If you really love your mother, you shouldn't embarrass your mother and force her to sacrifice her husband and children for the sake of her natal niece and grandniece! If all this is really just to repay the mother's upbringing, then that's it.

But the one who really benefited was Xu’s family room. Xu’s family room had failed to live up to his maternal aunt’s attention several times in a row. He even made her so angry that she vomited blood several times. Now she is bedridden because of illness. This benefited his family.

, what kind of repayment of gratitude is this? Even if my great-aunt can ignore the twists and turns of right and wrong, etiquette and shame, and never mind no matter how many grievances she suffers for the sake of her natal family, there is no reason to ask our Lu family to think the same way, right?!"

Only then did Lu Chuming understand. He sighed: "You silly boy... It is your father and brother who have the final say on these matters. As long as you study hard, have fun in peace, and be filial to your mother, that's enough. These flies and dogs outside are just doing it.

Why do you need to get involved in this matter? Although my maternal aunt and grandmother can’t think of it,

, but now she is ill in bed and has been heartbroken by Xu Jiaofang, and it is difficult to blame her mother. My mother will never give Xu Jiaofang any face again for her old man's injustice. Those who have embarrassed us in the past

Things are no longer a problem. Why do you need to get involved anymore?"

Lu Chuliang said disapprovingly: "My maternal aunt has gone astray. Now that she has met me, she often holds my hand and says nice things. She wants to persuade me to agree to marry Sister Xu. If my mother refuses to obey her, then give it to me.

After talking about the marriage, my maternal aunt and grandmother must have vomited blood and cried and asked questions again, which made my mother uncomfortable. Why bother?

I'll simply give Sister Xu a good marriage, ask Xu's family to stop thinking about my maternal aunt and grandmother, and ask her not to blame us if she wants to. If things come to pass, maybe she will even be grateful to us. As long as she wants to blame her.

If she can plot less against her mother, hurt her heart less, and make her feel better, then all my calculations will be considered in vain."

Lu Chuming could only sigh again. However, his brother was also showing his filial piety, so how could he blame him too much? It was just that his brother’s calculations made it unclear whether there were any omissions. He asked his brother with concern: “How could you think of doing this?

Borrowing the power of the Qi family and the Gui family? I only know that you have made a lot of friends in the past half year in Beijing, played like crazy, and even neglected a lot of homework. But I didn’t know that you were a child of these two families.

Made friends."

Lu Chuliang smiled and said: "I met them by chance. In addition to them, there are two other people who are also very close to me. It's just that this matter today concerns the Qi and Gui families, and there are some secret things that are not easy to disclose to outsiders.

That's why I just called them two. Speaking of which,

It’s also thanks to Mistress Xu. If she hadn’t mentioned Xu’s family room and seemed to be thinking about the new young cousin in the Qi family, I wouldn’t have thought of meeting Sister Xu in the garden of the Qi family. As for Gui Xiaosi, his brother didn’t

Being willing to remarry has troubled their family for a long time. Originally,

A good young talent, but because of the loss of his wife, he has been depressed all day long. Now the Gui family no longer expects him to have any achievements in his official career. They only hope that he can cheer up a little, take up a leisurely official position, and arrive safely.

If he has an heir to die for him, he will be satisfied

Even if he refuses to marry, he can just take a concubine, otherwise he will be too pitiful to be alone. But he just won't agree. I have made good friends with Gui Xiaosi, and seeing that he feels sorry for his brother, I also want to help him.

Since Sister Xu is somewhat similar to Sister-in-law Gui, let her give it a try."

As for whether she can succeed after trying it, that is Xu Xiu's own business. Even if she fails, the Gui family who saw this example and Gui Xiaosi, who knows the truth, should also know how to deal with the second brother Gui.

The problem of resuming the string is gone.

Lu Chuming shook his head: "This marriage in the Gui family is actually quite good. Aren't you afraid that after the Xu family gets married to the Gui family, they will really make a comeback with the help of the Gui family, or that Xu Xiu will implicate the Gui family for her mother's family?

?”

Lu Chuliang said with a smile: "I don't think she has this ability. Regardless of her appearance, knowledge, talent or temperament, she can't compare to Gui Ersao. Even if she temporarily confused Gui Ersao and successfully married into the Gui family, she would not be able to compete with him.

Maybe she went past Sister Gui. Everyone in the Gui family likes Sister Gui and is still on good terms with her natal family. The two families even live on the same street and often come and go. It can be said that this marriage sounds like the right one.

Xu's parents have an advantage in getting married, but in fact, even if Sister Xu marries into the Gui family, in the eyes of the Gui family, she is just a woman who gives birth to a child for Brother Gui. If she cannot win Brother Gui's heart, it will be difficult for her to marry her original wife.

Comparable, Sister Xu's position in the Gui family will not be very secure in the future. Without the support of her husband and parents-in-law, she is not the eldest daughter-in-law and has no support, so why should she use the power of the Gui family to help the Xu family make a comeback?"

Regardless of the fact that Mr. Gui is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the eldest son of Mr. Gui is the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, you would think that these connections and influence can be easily used by the Xu family. In such an official family, the head of the family and the future head of the family have all been together in the officialdom for many years.

No one is a fool. And Mrs. Gui is the daughter of the Youdu Censor of the Ducha Yuan. She is very strict in running the family and will even personally take care of the upbringing of her children and grandchildren. Xu Xiu's plan to seek benefits for her mother's family under the eyes of her mother-in-law is simply delusional.

! If a mistake is made, Mrs. Gui's words will cause the Metropolitan Procuratorate to keep an eye on the people in Xu's family room, making them miserable! And the censor of Youdu will not be lenient at all to his in-laws.

Taking the reference correctly will only achieve his reputation of being selfless and impartial!

Lu Chuliang explained it to his brother with some pride, and said with a smile: "Brother, look, is this marriage perfect for the Xu family? It seems ideal, but after the marriage is completed, it will take two years before returning.

Looking back, we realize that the Xu family didn't get any extra benefits, but they couldn't complain to anyone. Once they complained, the Xu family ignored them. Even if my maternal aunt and grandmother knew about it, they would probably just feel

Isn’t it because the people in the family’s home don’t live up to their expectations?”

Lu Chuming reached out and tapped his brother's forehead angrily: "Look at your proud look! Why don't you restrain yourself. This time you plotted against the Xu family. Regardless of success or not, the matter is over. Don't interfere anymore, either.

There is no need to tell mother. When your children have free time, please come over to the house. I will let mother be your host. Although it is a good thing that you can make friends, you cannot let it go to waste.

You have learned your homework! If you can become famous together with your good friends in the future, that would be the greatest joy!"

Lu Chuliang rubbed his forehead and said a little aggrievedly: "If you have something to say, please tell me. Why do you want to hit me..." But he still obeyed his brother's instructions, "Don't worry, brother, I know it well!"

Speaking of knowing what he knew, Lu Chuliang remembered another thing: "By the way, there is something that Qi Xiaoer told me." He leaned close to Lu Chuming's ear, "The cousin of the Qi family came to Beijing and said it was

He came here to study and seek marriage, in fact... it was because he had already obtained the title of Juren, but he missed it due to the sudden loss of his wife in the spring of this year. This time he planned to participate in the Enke Examination! His father is the governor and a high official in the border areas. He has the news

The channel said that they heard the news and knew that the emperor intends to abdicate the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince. When the new monarch ascends the throne, there will definitely be an encore. The young master Qi's cousin will go to Beijing in advance, so he can also take care of things in advance."

Lu Chuming showed a shocked expression: "Are you sure about this? I have never heard anyone from the Chengenhou Mansion and Yongjiahou Mansion talk about it!"

Lu Chuliang muttered: "The people in the Cheng'enhou Mansion probably won't know. The Yongjia Hou Mansion... The third uncle has always been tight-lipped. If the palace doesn't let go, he won't tell anyone. Besides, my brother has a solid foundation in knowledge. He won't tell anyone."

It doesn’t matter if I tell you. It’s just brother, if this thing is true, then you and cousin Qin should start preparing now, maybe we can take advantage of it? "

Lu Chuming nodded solemnly.
