Chapter 118 Lu Yunhong, I gave you face, didn't I?
On the day when the Zhang family came to Qingquan Village to hire someone, the Chen family of Mudu, the Dong family of Meili, as well as Magistrate Zhou and Ji Yunwei came to visit. The village even specially built an open space for the Lu family to hold a banquet, which showed that there were so many guests.
Wang Xiu got up early in the morning and was busy working, and didn't even have time to drink tea. There were many visitors from the Zhang family, especially male guests. She only knew that except for seeing Lu Yunhong at noon, she never found him again.
It happened that at this time, a message came outside saying that the eldest princess had arrived.
Wang Xiu was so anxious that there was no one in charge of the inner courtyard. What kind of chaos would it be when she left?
In desperation, Wang Xiu took Lu Yunran out as a steward, and she hurried to the outer courtyard to greet the eldest princess.
There were many people and noisy people today, but the eldest princess did not bring her children. Qingquan Village was greatly shocked. Everyone knelt down and worshiped from a distance. Wang Xiu general saw the eldest princess getting off Feng Jia and walking towards Lu's house.
Everyone was horrified. They all said that the eldest princess and Wang Xiu had a relationship, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, how could they be friends? They were clearly as close as sisters.
Seeing the frightened looks in everyone's eyes, Wang Xiuwei really made a splash. But compared with the safety of the eldest princess, this was nothing.
So the moment she received the eldest princess, she said: "The Lu family is in too much chaos today. Your Highness should not have come."
The eldest princess glared at her and then said: "I'm here to feel happy, why not?"
"Besides, I brought you this."
After saying that, he took out the bright yellow imperial edict.
Wang Xiu said in surprise: "It's not what I thought, is it?"
The eldest princess hummed, handed it to her and said, "You don't know how to read it yourself?"
Wang Xiu opened it carefully, and the word "granted marriage" that came into view burned her eyes, and there was an inexplicable sadness in her heart. For a moment, she didn't know what to say?
The eldest princess saw that she was about to cry and said quickly: "What are you doing?"
"Quickly put away your pitiful look. The prince and I are very protective of our shortcomings. We will not let go of those who spread rumors and cause trouble. Of course, we will still give the Lu family the respect they deserve, but this is for the sake of
For your sake."
Wang Xiu knelt down holding the imperial edict and said with emotion: "On behalf of Yun Ran, a common woman would like to thank the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. I, the Lu family, have received this grace from God and will live up to it. I will die to do it."
When everyone saw Wang Xiu suddenly kneeling down, they suddenly became nervous and secretly guessed whether Wang Xiu had offended the eldest princess.
But the next moment, Qiao Chuan, the eunuch beside the eldest princess, stood up and said loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived."
Everyone was frightened and did not forget to lower their heads when they knelt down.
Later, Lu Shouchang came out and brought several old men and women to kneel in front. Mrs. Chen had someone place an incense table and knelt in the back with his female relatives.
Seeing that they were all ready, Qiao Chuan read out the imperial edict loudly.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I have heard that Lu Shouchang's daughter is in a boudoir. She is both talented and beautiful, gentle and kind-hearted. Zhang Peng, a student of the Imperial Academy, has profound knowledge, is proficient in six arts, and is a loyal minister. I hereby grant you a marriage. I hope that you two will be of the same mind.
Agree, we will always be friends with Qin and Jin, and we will be harmonious as husband and wife, so that we can live up to my wishes. I admire this!"
"The grassroots generation is a daughter, and the son-in-law takes the order. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
Lu Shouchang accepted the order, and everyone just shouted long live. Their hearts were shocked, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves anymore.
I saw the Lu family orderly placing the imperial edict on the incense table, and then inviting the guests to take their seats, as if such things were just a common occurrence.
But for the people in Qingquan Village, the shock was so great, it was as if they could see Tian En right above their heads and could reach out and touch it.
Qian Xing, who originally brought a basket of big red cakes and planned to find an opportunity to ridicule Lu Shouchang, deeply felt the gap between him and Lu Shouchang at this moment. It was an unfathomable gap that he, a small businessman, could not understand in his life.
the height to reach.
After much thought, Qian Xing decided to shamelessly approach Lu Shouchang. In any case, they were both from Qingquan Village. They both made their fortunes outside. Now that Lu Shouchang has returned to his hometown, he has also returned to his hometown. He doesn't believe that he can't find one.
way out.
At this time, when the Dong family in Meili saw that the Lu family had received this holy grace, they understood clearly that although the Lu family had no time to spare, they were always living under the eyes of the emperor.
If they were worried about their family, they would never allow the eldest princess to come to Wuxi. The only possibility is that the emperor is also looking for an opportunity to retaliate against Lu Shouchang and Lu Yunhong.
This is really a great opportunity for the Dong family, who are already related to the Lu family.
Unknowingly, Chen Shengfang has become the most eloquent head grandmother among the young generation of the Dong family.
…
The eldest princess came for a while and then left. Wang Xiu saw her out of the village.
After the eldest princess's car left, she saw Lu Yunhong surrounded by a large group of young people, as if they were seeking some kind of luck.
She glared at Lu Yunhong from a distance and sneered angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that so many people were following him, she would have wanted to rush up and beat him now.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lu Yunhong quickly bowed and ran towards her, looking very frightened.
The people following him suddenly laughed loudly and gave Ji Yunwei money.
Wang Xiu didn't understand why, but Lu Yunhong rushed towards her hurriedly, shouting: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong!!"
Wang Xiu: “…”??
Lu Yunhong rushed forward, pointed at the group of people behind him and said: "They are all talented people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They took me to Fengqi Academy to compose poems on the pretext that our Lu family had a happy event. I lied that my daughter-in-law, Hedong Lion Roar,
That’s why they let me go.”
"No, Ji Yunwei also made a bet with them, saying that I was afraid of you!"
"Daughter-in-law, give me some face and kneel down for me on the spot."
Wang Xiu: "..."!!
Lu Yunhong, I think you don’t want to live anymore?
Wang Xiu was angry in his heart, but he had no idea that a glint flashed in the eyes of Lu Yunhong, who was bowing his head, and he was suppressing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. Because Wang Xiu reached out and grabbed his ears, and growled: "Lu Yunhong, I gave you face, didn't I?"
"Ouch, ouch..."
"Ma'am, be gentle, be gentle..."
"Help! Brothers, Ji Yunwei..."
Lu Yunhong covered his ears and howled, looking at that scene, it was so horrible!
But the brothers in his mouth stepped back one by one, their expressions changed greatly.
"Oh my God...it's not my fault that Brother Lu is henpecked, but Mrs. Sister-in-law is too cruel, isn't she?"
"Everyone, if it weren't for your bet, Brother Lu wouldn't be so miserable."
"Brother Lu, the status of this family is very worrying. I think we should go back to the academy?"
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly. Brother Lu will hate us if it's too late."
The group of people came and went in a hurry, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Only Ji Yunwei walked over reluctantly holding the money he won.
He kicked Lu Yunhong and said displeasedly: "Stop pretending, here you go!"
Lu Yunhong stopped talking for a moment, turned his head and took a look. The white money was quite gratifying. However, he was not satisfied and said: "That's it?"
Wang Xiu let go and said displeasedly: "What's going on?"
Lu Yunhong took all Ji Yunwei's money and put it into Wang Xiu's long-sleeved shirt one by one, and then said: "I was so pestered by them that I and Ji Yunwei came up with this trick to drain the firepower.
Come back empty."
With that said, he reached out to Ji Yunwei and said, "Where's yours?"
Ji Yunwei looked at his red-tucked ears and felt bad about denying the money, so he angrily took out two thousand taels of silver notes.
Lu Yunhong handed it to Wang Xiu, pointed at Ji Yunwei and said: "This fool, I asked him to join forces with me to create a game, and he has to get stuck in it himself."
Wang Xiu didn't understand and looked at Ji Yunwei.
Ji Yunwei resented: "I said my sister-in-law would definitely give him face and would not embarrass him. But he said that my sister-in-law would definitely beat him and not let him have an easy time..."
Wang Xiu: “…”??
What is this called?
You tell your friend that your status in the family is not as good as that of a dog, but your friend refuses to believe you and thinks you are the dog in your family??
