After all, Qin Youzhen said nothing to Mrs. Xu, because Mrs. Xu never mentioned Xu Xiu's name or the name of the Xu family from beginning to end. Since Mrs. Xu didn't mention it, Qin Youzhen naturally couldn't refuse.

She returned to her house full of confusion and began to sit in the room in a daze.

Today, she felt very guilty when faced with the concern of her aunt Xu. Her aunt was so kind to her that she could almost be said to be her mother. The fact that she could marry Lu Pu was also a good match chosen by her aunt for her.

Compared with the low official status and stagnant career of his two cousins ​​in the court, Lupu has been promoted from the third rank to the rank of senior officials. And he is not even forty years old this year, and his future is promising. Their eldest son has already

With her reputation as a scholar, the eldest daughter even married into the most prominent high-ranking family in the dynasty and became the eldest daughter-in-law. The glory she has today is all given by her aunt.

Faced with all kinds of great kindness from her aunt, she, Qin Youzhen, was shattered into pieces, so she should repay her! But... she first refused her aunt's request to let her eldest daughter get married in Cheng'enhou Mansion, and now... she wants to do it again.

Rejecting the aunt's marriage proposal for her eldest son...

Doesn't this mean repaying kindness with enmity?

Qin Youzhen felt very painful in her heart. If she was right about the place of her daughter's marriage, and Lu Pu's letter clearly stated it in front of her, so although she felt a little sorry for her mother-in-law, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong. Today

If she wanted to politely refuse Xu Xiu's marriage again, she would really feel ashamed of her aunt.

Although the Xu family is not as good as before, it is still an official family and was once the same family as the Lu family. Xu Xiu is about the same age as Lu Chuming. She is also a lady with both talent and beauty. Judging from daily contact, her character and temperament are also good. Of course,

She deserves to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. But... Qin Youzhen has often been in contact with the Xu family since she was a child, and she is not used to some of his family's actions. In the past, she just did not comment for the sake of the Xu family, but she really

I don't want to marry into his family.

It's not that Qin Youzhen can't trust her son, she's just worried that her son has become the Xu family's son-in-law and will have to work hard for the Xu family. Even future generations will not be able to escape the Xu family's entanglement. Isn't this the case in the Qin family's house? In the past few decades,

, from Qin Song to Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao, they all contributed to the career of the eldest son of the Xu family, and also helped Xu Zheng introduce the children of high-ranking families. For the marriage of Xu Zheng and Xu Xiu, Qin Jian

The marriage of Qin Jinhua's two children has been delayed to this day and has not yet been settled. In her heart, Mrs. Xu is looking forward to finding a good match for the younger generation of her mother's family...

Qin Youzhen was really scared. In her mind, the Chengenhou Mansion had always been a decent and prominent behemoth, but because of the relationship with the Xu family, she had to serve the Xu family at all times and no one could get rid of it. Compared to Qin

What is the Lu family? Can the Lu family really meet the needs of the Xu family? If Lu Chuming becomes a Jinshi in the future and works as an official for many years, it would be better not to be with the Xu family, or maybe he

It’s also a good thing that the Lu family’s official position is not higher than that of the Xu family. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be able to escape the entanglement of the Xu family? But the problem is that marriage with the Xu family is only beneficial to the Xu family. Once the Lu family encounters

Trouble will never get help from the Xu family, and may be abandoned by the Xu family at any time...

Qin Youzhen was very repelled by this possibility. She could find a better in-law for her eldest son, so why would she give in to the Xu family? She was willing to repay her aunt Xu, and she was also willing to help the Xu family's children and descendants, but the Xu family? She didn't

She owes the Xu family nothing. Besides, it was all because of the Xu family that her aunt, Mrs. Xu, had just wronged herself to marry her former eldest brother-in-law and fill a house for a man who was ten years older than her! She was deeply loved by her aunt.

Well, I should just repay my aunt, but there is no reason to repay the Xu family, let alone ask her husband and children to sacrifice themselves, or even her descendants!

But how can she make her aunt Xu understand these true thoughts? She doesn't want to hurt Xu, but she is worried that Xu will force her to agree to the marriage. Sometimes, the more tender and affectionate Xu is, the more she proves her

Strong-willed, tenderness is just a means. Mrs. Xu wants to think about her mother's family wholeheartedly. She is willing to give up her own grandchildren, so how can she pity Lu Chuming? Qin Youzhen is entangled and feels very sad in her heart. On the one hand, she has feelings for her.

A generous aunt has her own flesh and blood on one side, so how does she make a choice?

It was getting dark, but she didn't notice it until her eldest son, Lu Chuming, walked in with a candlestick: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Youzhen raised her head and looked at Lu Chuming. This eldest son had always been her pride. Not only was he a talented person, he was also intelligent and reasonable, with a gentle temperament, and he was filial to his parents. He was good at reading, and he was very sure to pass the examination in Qiuwei this year.

, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. Such an outstanding son should choose an equally outstanding daughter-in-law for him. She must have a good family background, good looks, good character, and good everything to be worthy of Lu Chuming. In order to repay Xu's great kindness, she

How could she bear to sacrifice her son's happiness?

Lu Chuming looked at his mother in surprise: "Why are you crying? What happened?!"

Qin Youzhen was shocked to realize that she had shed tears for some time. She hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief and shook her head randomly: "I'm fine, I... I just missed your father for a moment."

Lu Chuming laughed when he heard this: "When my son finishes the provincial examination, we can go to Changlu to reunite with his father. It only takes a month. Mother, please bear with it a little longer."

Qin Youzhen glared at him: "Naughty! You actually made fun of your mother. If your father hears it, be careful and he will beat you!"

Lu Chuming said with a smile: "My younger brother has said this before, and my father was quite happy to hear it. Even if he heard me say this, he wouldn't hit me. Maybe he would praise me for saying it well. That's right.

It goes deep into my mother’s heart!”

Qin Youzhen looked at him angrily, hesitated for a while, and then asked him: "How are you packing your luggage? Don't forget anything. In the house over in Jinan, although everything is available, the family members are prepared

The things I have prepared are not as good as those prepared at home.”

Lu Chuming said: "Don't worry, mother. I've packed everything and I can set off early tomorrow morning."

Qin Youzhen hesitated again: "In that case, let's just leave tomorrow. We can go to Tongzhou Pier in advance, so we don't have to rush so hard on the way."

Lu Chuming was a little surprised: "Why did mother suddenly change her mind? Didn't it mean that my second uncle and the others were going to hold a wedding banquet for us at Chengenhou Mansion? Besides, our family and the boat company have already agreed on the time, so we can't just change it if we want.

Changed."

Yes, the practice banquet has been decided in advance, and the departure time of the ship is also the same.

Qin Youzhen took a breath and then said: "I forgot. Then... let's set off to Tongzhou after the practice banquet. We will spend the night there and get on the ship at dawn the next day.

, and save half a day.”

Lu Chuming had no objection this time, agreed, and went to inform his servants to prepare the carriage and other things in advance.

Qin Youzhen stopped her son again, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "You are older now, you are no longer a child, your father has been promoted to an official, and your status is different now. When you interact with people on weekdays, remember to pay more attention.

Child's heart. Don't go to those messy places, and stay away from other people's girls, so as not to cause trouble that you shouldn't cause, and even your reputation will be affected. You are a scholar, and your character is the most important. You should pay attention to yourself.

, don’t trust others easily, and don’t make any mistakes, do you understand?”

Lu Chuming nodded hesitantly: "My son understands. But why did the mother suddenly mention this?"

Qin Youzhen forced a smile: "I just thought that when you go to take the provincial examination, you will inevitably interact with people, so I just want to remind you. During the provincial examination, the examiners are all in Jinan Prefecture. If you are careless and call someone

It’s a plan, if the examiners misunderstand your character, won’t you suffer a big loss?”

Lu Chuming laughed when he heard this and said: "Don't worry, mother, I won't be easily fooled by others. Both Brother Jian and Prince Suning have given me tips on how to guard against other people's pranks. I know it well. More

What's more, during the exam, I was either in the exam room or staying at home to review my homework. How could I go out and let others have the opportunity to plot against me?"

Lu Chuming smiled and left. Qin Youzhen smiled bitterly in the room and sighed quietly.

Qin Youzhen, Lu Chuming and their son left the capital half a day early, which surprised everyone else in the Chengenhou Mansion and Yongjia Mansion. Qin Bofu, the second roommate, was even more disappointed. He originally planned to invite Qin Youzhen, mother and son to his home.

They were having dinner. Unexpectedly, they ran away just after lunch. As for Lu Chuliang, he was just a little kid, so he didn't take it to heart. At most, he coaxed him more so that his nephew could give him a wedding gift for him.

My niece is just passing the message.

Mrs. Xu had some vague guesses in her heart, and she was also secretly angry and disappointed with Qin Youzhen's despair. But it didn't matter, Lu Chuliang was still in the capital, and the three of them, mother and son, and their luggage and belongings were left in the house in the northeast corner with their servants.

Here, as long as Lupu doesn't explicitly refuse, her plan still has hope of success.

The Xu family asked Qin Zhonghai to take Lu Chuliang back to Fugui to live in it, because it would be convenient to take care of him. Lu Chuliang was looking forward to living a free life for a few days, how could he want to? Living in the Chengenhou Mansion, his entry and exit were subject to jurisdiction, and he was not allowed to live far away.

It would be more convenient to live in his own house. But Xu and Qin Zhonghai persuaded him, but he couldn't convince his elders, so he moved back reluctantly.

When Mrs. Xu saw that Lu Chuliang had returned to Fuguiju and continued to live as before, she finally felt at peace. She told herself, don't worry, Qin Youzhen and Lu Chuming would come back after the provincial examination. She finally persuaded her niece to give a pair of

The son stays in Beijing to study, and he must not destroy all the preparations before things happen.

When Qin Youzhen went to Changlu to take office, the two children were in the capital and had to rely on their uncles and aunts in the Chengenhou Mansion. When she took Xu Xiu to live with her for a while, she would always find a place for Xu Xiu and Lu Chuming

The opportunity to get along. If Lu Chuming is not tempted, she can also ask Xu Xiu to take care of Lu Chuliang's diet and daily life, or give him guidance on his homework. Neither Qin Youzhen, Lu Yueniang, nor Lu Chuming will be able to treat Xu Xiu, who helped Lu Chuliang.

Xiu Xiu was indifferent. Once they discovered Xu Xiu's benefits, it would be much easier to talk about marriage...
