Chapter 174 She Suspected Wang Xiu Was Doing It On Purpose
The Gao family originally wanted to wait for Gao Yonghuai to take this opportunity to pass the imperial examination, so they asked Mrs. Gao to take Gao Yonghuai to Beijing to prepare for spring and arrange a good marriage, but now it is a bit difficult.
Because she broke up with the Yu family, Gao Yonghuai's reputation has been somewhat affected. Mrs. Gao also fully understands that her son will never be a high-achieving son, and the Lu family is the best choice at the moment.
She took the opportunity to mention the second young lady of the Lu family. Mrs. Gao thought her son would refuse, but her son remained silent.
Mrs. Gao sighed and said resignedly: "Mom, I know, you can go and study."
Gao Yonghuai Qiuwei was frustrated. He thought that Pei Shan, who had copied books with him, had now become the Xie Yuanlang of Nanzhili. Everyone was holding the moon in their arms, except that Pei Shan could not be praised to the sky.
On the other hand, although he is the son of the prefect, he is no more than an ordinary student in the academy, or even worse than an ordinary student.
Because everyone knows that because of his father's relationship, he was able to copy books with Pei Shan.
The two of them copied for several months, and Pei Shan memorized almost all the ancient books. However, his mind was not on the books at that time, and now he is ignorant of all the questions and looks particularly stupid.
He had also heard private discussions among students, saying that he, as a scholar, might be related to his father, just like Duan Qiwen, who was eventually revoked.
The relationship between Xiu Cai and Xiu Cai seems to be the same, but in fact the difference is very big. What's more, the relationship between Xiu Cai and Xie Yuanlang is not even a little bit different.
Thinking of the countless days and nights when he got up and saw Pei Shan still writing furiously, he felt a little bit lucky and sympathetic in his heart. But now, would Pei Shan sympathize with him?
It's funny to think about it. The little scholar who had nothing back then became a superior person just because he became a disciple of Lu Yunhong. And he... in his heart actually hoped that Pei Shan could be kinder to him and pull him into their elite group.
Go in the circle.
But the reality is that Pei Shan doesn't pay attention to him at all, and no one in that circle takes him seriously. Although he is still in Class A in the academy, he seems to be isolated.
At this time, marrying the eldest young lady of the Lu family and the second young lady of the Lu family seemed not that important to him. What was important was that his wife was a young lady of the Lu family, so they would not dare to look down on him.
…
After Lu Yunran got married, Wang Xiu felt empty in her heart. She always felt that she married her sister-in-law too early.
So when he saw the graceful Lu Yunyuan, Wang Xiu was thinking that he must wait until Lu Yunyuan turns eighteen before letting her get married. Of course, in order to avoid people outside gossiping, the marriage can be settled early.
However, the family to discuss the marriage must be a kind and well-established family like the Zhang family, not a family like the Gao family that flatters others.
Perhaps she had seen how powerful Wang Xiu was, and the post Mrs. Gao handed over was delivered to Lu Shouchang, the second elder. However, what she didn't know was that since Wang Xiu became pregnant, Lu Shouchang was basically the only one living in the Lu Family Villa.
Well, Mrs. Chen has always lived in Xiuli Villa to take care of Wang Xiu.
So the post ended up in Wang Xiu’s hands.
Mrs. Chen suggested: "Just decline it politely. There's no need to meet."
Wang Xiu said lazily: "Me, why not? Does she think that she picks all the girls in our Lu family? Not only do I want to see her, I also want to take Yunyuan to show her how beautiful she is.
No? But her family just can’t get married!!”
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "Don't be too naughty, you are still pregnant."
Wang Xiudao: "Mom, don't worry, I'm in good health, I'm fine."
After saying that, he stood up and ordered his servants to prepare to welcome the guests.
When Lu Yunyuan heard the news, she was surprised and said: "How can their family have such a big face? They failed to marry my sister before, and now they are targeting me?"
Wang Xiudao: "So you dress up nicely, and my sister-in-law will take you to make people angry."
When Lu Yunyuan heard this, she immediately said: "Okay, sister-in-law, wait for me."
After saying this, he called the maid to dress up.
Wang Xiu went to the wardrobe and picked out a begonia red cross-collar skirt for her, covered with a pale moon-white shawl. This dress looked bright and elegant, dazzling, like a fairy descending to earth.
Wang Xiu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's so beautiful."
Lu Yunyuan was a bit shy after all, so she took a round fan with a civet cat nestled under a flower branch, and then followed Wang Xiu out.
Mrs. Gao hadn't been here for a long time. When Wang Xiu selected someone to compile a medical book last time, Gao Yonghuai was not selected. She asked her husband to come forward. When her husband went back and told her that it was important for her son to get a good name, she didn't care.
Now that her son had failed the examination, the eldest princess came to Beijing with a medical book compiled by Wang Xiu. Only then did she start to panic.
I really haven't reaped any benefits at all. If I had known earlier, I might as well have compiled a medical book. At least I could leave some impression in front of the emperor. It would be a very honorable thing to talk about it, but it's too late to talk about it now.
When Wang Xiu came in, Mrs. Gao's eyes paused for a moment.
Because she was pregnant, Wang Xiu wore a loose, large-sleeved shirt, which is the most popular peacock feather damask. This material was a tribute and had never been seen by ordinary people.
She had seen it before, when her mother-in-law's family gave her a gift, they made two purses out of the satin and said they were given to her. Wang Xiu's outfit must have been a gift from the eldest princess.
Mrs. Gao secretly clenched her fists, feeling filled with regret. Why did she fall in love with her niece in the first place?
Otherwise, if her son studies with Lu Yunhong, what future will she worry about?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gao quickly stepped forward to hold Wang Xiu's hand.
However, Wang Xiu didn't give her a chance. The moment she walked over, he said: "We are all old acquaintances. Why are you so polite? Come sit down and drink tea."
After saying that, he stepped aside and said to the well-dressed Lu Yunyuan: "This is Mrs. Gao, you have seen her before."
Lu Yunyuan stepped forward, moved the fan that was covering her face, and blessed her body by saying, "I have met Mrs. Gao."
Mrs. Gao was immediately stunned. Was the beautiful little girl in front of her the same Lu Yunyuan?
Her lips are red and her teeth are white, her face is delicate, and she is full of energy. She wears a skirt that makes her tall and attractive.
It has only been a few months, and Lu Yunyuan has turned out to be so beautiful. Even the clothes she wears seem to be made of patterned woven gold and satin. This dress costs dozens of taels of silver, and the other beads and flower jewelry are also
There is a golden hairpin shaking every step...
The hairpin she wore on her head was still the same style as a few months ago, but what Lu Yunyuan wore was the most difficult-to-find gold and osmanthus beads in Wuxi. I heard that Lu Yunran had thirty thousand taels of silver at the bottom of his box when he got married. Wang Xiu was right
These sisters-in-law of hers are really more willing to give up than the other.
Swallowing secretly, Mrs. Gao said: "Yunyuan is really getting more and more beautiful."
Wang Xiu took advantage of the situation and answered: "No, he is as old as a flower and he is good-looking. Fortunately, we were born into a scholar family. I want to stay for a few more years. If I were born into someone outside, I'm afraid we would have to marry each other.
.”
Lu Yunyuan pursed her lips and smiled shyly, no longer covering her face with the fan. She had not forgotten that she was here to challenge Mrs. Gao Yinggao.
Mrs. Gao sneered: "The girl is older and wants to be kissed. I'm coming today..."
Wang Xiu said with a wilted look: "When my daughter's family grows up, she wants to marry her, but can't she bring in a new wife? It's not like our Lu family can't afford to support her, we can still support him in his studies."
Mrs. Gao: "..."
Except for Princess Shang, no one from the official family has ever heard of marrying into the family.
