Chapter 88 Sorrow and Joy
After returning to Chong'an Marquis Mansion from Cishou Temple, Mrs. Liu sent someone to reply to Mrs. Su San.
Knowing that the marriage between the two families could not work out, Mrs. Su San sighed with complicated emotions, but finally told her son.
"On the other side of the Lin family, let's forget it for now. Mom, we'll look at other families, eh?" Mrs. Su San looked at Chen Xu worriedly and advised. "The girls from those families your aunts mentioned are also the best."
Yes, go back and see for yourself?"
Chen Xu lowered his eyes, making it difficult to see his emotions, and only said a soft "hmm".
Mrs. Su San looked at her son and felt sad, but she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only sigh and let her son go out in a hurry.
At the Xining Palace, Princess Wei smiled happily and sighed with satisfaction to the Crown Princess Wen: "Brother Zhao is already twenty-one, and this time the marriage has finally been decided. Oh, I feel at ease now."
.”
Wen had just come back from the south and knew little about Lin Wan. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I wonder which girl from the Lin family can catch the eye of the second brother?"
"She is the sixth girl in their family, the third-bedroom girl, and her maiden name is Lin Wan." Princess Wei patiently pulled Ms. Wen to explain, "That girl has only grown hair this year, but she is good-looking. I liked her the first time I saw her.
I never thought it would be such a fate."
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Wen quietly listened to Princess Wei talking about Lu Junzhao's marriage, occasionally interjecting a few words, but thinking in her heart that she had to inquire more about this future sibling.
Lu Junzhao was in King Xining's study. The father and son were muttering around the huge map for a long time. After finishing talking about the business, King Xining threw the roll of the map to the other side of the desk and patted Lu Junzhao heavily on the shoulder.
He smiled and said, "You bastard, I finally got my way this time! When you get married, it's time to give me a grandson!"
Lu Junzhao glanced at Xining Wang, frowned and said: "You might as well count on big brother!"
When the King of Xining heard this, he glared, waved his hand and was about to slap Lu Junzhao on the head, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Junzhao turned his head to avoid it expressionlessly, and slowly changed the topic: "Beiyan has sent an envoy and will arrive in the capital tomorrow."
King Xining withdrew his hand. The expression on his face became a little more solemn. He frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Hu Wanda is still in the grassland?"
Lu Junzhao nodded slightly, with a flash of fierceness. "The Eight Parts of the Grassland are just a small chaos for the time being, which makes Beiyan worried."
King Xining hummed and sneered: "What has Beiyan prepared to pay tribute to?"
"Five hundred horses, five carts of wolf skins, twenty carts of wine, and women." Lu Junzhao said word by word, his tone cold and a bit contemptuous, "I brought the princess of Beiyan Liang Palace with me."
"I'm really willing to give it up!" King Xining narrowed his eyes slightly, the ridicule on his face flashed away, and he fell on the rocking chair. He yawned and waved to Lu Junzhao. "Let them go to the trouble. The Lu family
It will take a few years to keep a low profile. Well, it would be best to have an heir!" King Xining laughed again at this point.
Lu Junzhao's face darkened and he left King Xining's study without saying a word.
On Chengyuan Street, Chen Xu pulled Wang Shuo to Lanyue Tower for a drink with a worried look on his face, but he just drank one glass after another from the wine pot without saying a word.
Wang Shuo looked at it for a long time without knowing why, and tried to persuade him randomly for a while. But he couldn't get the point. He could only watch Chen Xu pour wine into his stomach one after another. He drank with his head down for a long time. Wang Shuo glanced at the two empty bottles of wine on the table.
Pot, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to stop Chen Xu and advised: "You should drink less, it's time to get drunk! If anything happens, tell me, what's the use of just drinking?"
Chen Xu looked at Wang Shuo with confusion in his eyes. He stared with his head dizzy for a while, and then suddenly laughed, with a bit of sadness in his expression. "Is Jinzhi getting married?"
Wang Shuo nodded, released Chen Xu's hand that was holding the wine bottle, and followed his words and asked, "Your marriage is about to be decided?"
Chen Xu suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Shuo, his smile gradually stopped, his eyes were blank, and after a long time he nodded heavily, humming, with a bit of confusion and loss on his face, and laughed at himself: "Uncles are all looking forward to me.
Start a family and start a career early."
Wang Shuo frowned and sighed softly, but it was difficult to persuade him. He was also a little sulky, so he poured a glass of wine and drank it.
Chen Xu laughed when he saw this, his eyes suddenly filled with nostalgia, he grabbed Wang Shuo's arm and said with a smile: "You don't know, I always thought that my wife would be like that."
, the first time I saw her, she had a very pretty smile, she looked at the sky with flying eyes, and smiled sweetly..." Chen Xu spoke intermittently and without any structure, but he heard Wang Shuo smile bitterly in his heart, and he also drank a lot.
Bitters.
October 18th was the wedding of Lu Wei, the second daughter of the Xining Palace, and the fourth son of the Wang family. Both the Xining Palace and the Wang family were in a lively and festive atmosphere. Mrs. Wang's face was red, she was smiling in high spirits, and she drank a round of wine with her son and many guests.
, after the banquet was over, his eyes were still clear and his thinking was clear. He ordered his servants to call his son Wang Chengren and grandson Wang Shuo to the study.
"I am very happy today. Let me say one thing. Our Wang family will not interfere with the peace talks between the Beiyan envoys. No one should pay attention to what was said during the dinner today!" Old Master Wang said with an extremely serious expression.
Then he waved to his son and grandson, and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
Wang Chengren and Wang Shuo looked at each other, and they quickly followed.
"Father, what you mean is that if the Lu family doesn't move, we won't move either?" Wang Chengren changed his mind and asked tentatively.
Old Master Wang leaned on the couch, squinted his eyes slightly, nodded slightly after a long time, and said in a slow and crisp voice: "In the early years, the Holy Emperor wanted to capture Beiyan, but he stopped after suffering a lot, but he also had some thoughts in his heart.
Pimple. This time Beiyan suffered a defeat, and the eight tribes of the grassland did not stop. They had to be subdued for the time being. But the Holy Master wanted to get Beiyan and contain the Lu family, so he must take the idea of Yanmen Pass. Beiyan is here
There is a city there! Should the city be given or not? To whom? How many troops should be stationed? Who should be sent? There are too many involved. We don’t have to swim through this muddy water."
Wang Shuo nodded and responded: "My grandson understands. The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are responsible for contacting the envoys and princesses of Beiyan this time. I will find an excuse tomorrow. I will take care of other things first and avoid them for the time being."
Avoid."
Old Mrs. Wang opened his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Wang Chengren. "Just ask for sick leave for me, saying that I am happy today. I drank a few more drinks and am not feeling well. I can't go to school for the time being."
It's coming."
Wang Chengren hurriedly and respectfully agreed.
The next day, on October 20th, Lu Wei came back. Princess Wei took her daughter and son-in-law into the house with a face full of joy and sighs. She talked for a long time, took her daughter and gave her instructions again and again. The next day
After being busy inside and outside for a while, I took the girl and a box of things to Chong'an Marquis' Mansion in the afternoon.
Mrs. Feng warmly invited Princess Wei to come in, and she felt a little confident. She hurriedly led the people to Yimei Courtyard. Princess Wei and Mrs. Liu greeted her warmly, and then pulled aside Auntie Lin, who was behind the scenes.
He stuffed the box in his hand and looked at Lin Wan with a kind and friendly smile on his face. His eyes were even more satisfied. He smiled and said: "Sister Wan is bored here. Let's not restrain her. Let's let her go."
She feels more comfortable elsewhere."
Ms. Liu also looked relaxed and happy. She nodded with a smile and told Lin Wan not to stay.
Lin Wan smiled, blessed the elders in the room, thanked Princess Wei for her gift, and then turned around and went out.
Princess Wei looked at Lin Wan's back, her eyes filled with smiles, and nodded towards Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu. She smiled and said: "I won't beat around the bush anymore, I'm here to propose marriage. Such good girls, you two
Madam, are you willing to give us Erlang?"
Mrs. Feng had already figured it out, and she was smiling very appropriately at the moment, so she naturally listened to Mr. Liu in everything. Mrs. Liu was naturally willing, and she discussed it in detail with Princess Wei with a smile.
Forsythia stretched her neck outside and glanced into the room. She tugged on Nanny Wei's sleeve and asked curiously: "Are you talking about the girl's marriage?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Aunt Wei glared at Forsythia and scolded her, "Why are you looking around? Go and wait on the girl!"
Forsythia stuck out her tongue and ran towards Lin Wan's small yard.
Lin Wan was in a daze holding the account books at this time. Thinking that she was getting married, she couldn't calm down for a moment. Although she agreed to Lu Junzhao's proposal of marriage, in the future... well, never mind the future, the soldiers will come to cover up the water. She had previously
Just thinking well! What's the use? Grandma is right, she has never thought about taking the initiative in marriage in her life. But now that she has nodded and wants to join the Lu family, she doesn't believe that she will not live well!
"Girl, are you really going to marry that... that General Lu?" Forsythia ran back to the house holding up her skirt and asked Lin Wan with her head tilted.
Lin Wan took the account book and hit Forsythia on the forehead, and cursed: "Why are you shouting about the girl's marriage? Stop talking about everything all day long? You should learn some rules!"
Forsythia laughed twice, shrank her neck, and whispered: "I just overheard a few words outside the living room, like Princess Wei saying that the wedding date is in May..."
Lin Wan glanced at Forsythia, but she couldn't look at the account book in her hand anymore. May? Next May? This is too urgent... Hey, no wonder Princess Wei is anxious, Lu Junzhao is due for two this year
It's October, next year... Hey, she and Lu Junzhao are really not even the slightest bit different.
It wasn't until it got dark that Princess Wei said goodbye without any regrets. As soon as she reached the door, she patted her head suddenly and said with a smile, "Look at my memory! When our two families are discussing marriage, there should be a matchmaker!"
Liu Chao suggested, "I think Mrs. Chen is suitable. I wonder what the two ladies think?"
"Second sister-in-law?" Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, and she nodded and replied, "You are still thoughtful!" Then he looked at Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng also smiled and said yes.
After some discussion, Princess Wei returned to Prince Xining's Mansion, and the next day she went to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion in person to ask Mrs. Chen to be the matchmaker. Mrs. Chen was naturally overjoyed and there was no way she wouldn't want to.
The marriage between the two families has been arranged in an orderly manner for the time being, and they are just waiting for Princess Wei to discuss with King Xining when to make the decision.
