The door of Qinzheng Hall was closed from the outside, and the last ray of golden light was blocked from outside.
The prince stood respectfully and said nothing.
Emperor Shunyuan looked at his calm look and snorted coldly in his heart. This was the prince he had taught with his own hands, but the man he had taught with his own hands treated him with the attitude of "being constant and adapting to all changes", which was really
Make him dissatisfied.
"I heard that you asked Hua Zimo to go to the prison to deal with a few people?"
The prince cupped his hands and replied calmly: "I just asked about some old things and didn't deal with them."
Emperor Shunyuan's mouth twitched. Hua Zimo was a good disciple taught by Li Defu. What kind of temperament did he not know?
"What are you asking about?"
The prince frowned slightly, knelt down and said, "This is a matter of honor for the female family members. Please forgive me for not speaking out."
Emperor Shunyuan didn't know that it was because of the incident involving Wang's daughter. He stepped down from the dragon chair and said calmly: "I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the major case that will be tried by the three divisions. No matter how reckless those officers are, they don't dare to do anything wrong."
"I don't know where you got the news from, but if you want to speak out like this for the Wang family, there's no need for it."
"I have found so many teachers for you over the years, but you favored the Wang family, and I didn't say anything? But there is a limit to everything, otherwise those people should keep an eye on the Wang family and try to drag the Wang family into trouble."
When the prince heard this, he said respectfully: "I know I was wrong. I will never be so reckless again."
Emperor Shunyuan wanted to teach his son a lesson, but when he saw him, he thought that he was alone and at odds with his other brothers, and had only one sister to talk to, so he sighed.
"Ze'er, don't blame your father for being cruel. As an emperor, you can't do whatever you want. They can't harm you, but they can harm the cats, dogs, and even people around you!"
Prince, Zhao Lin, courtesy name Ruize.
Zhao Lin's eyes dimmed slightly and he said in a low voice: "Thank you very much, father, for your teaching. I will keep it in mind."
…
In a blink of an eye, it’s the first day of March.
In a few days, it will be the day when the Dong family goes to the Chen family to hire people. According to the agreement, both Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu are going.
Wang Xiu had bought some new clothes and jewelry with his three sisters early, and was going to take them to relax and see what the wedding ceremony was like.
In the evening, the group came back happily and unexpectedly saw Qin Zhu coming.
Qin Zhu saw Wang Xiu and quickly stepped forward to report: "The Zhang family from Taizhou and the Yao family from Ningbo have both gone to visit the master and his wife. When they learned that the master and his wife were leaving for Mudu, Suzhou tomorrow, they all happily said that they would go together.
."
"The master and his wife asked the uncle and the eldest grandma to take the three young ladies back to Qingquan Village to pay tribute to the elders of the Zhang family and the Yao family, and then set off together tomorrow to Mudu."
Wang Xiu asked in surprise: "Are both families here?"
Qin Zhu said respectfully: "They are all here. The Zhang family and his wife, the Yao family and his wife, and the master and his wife are also very surprised."
Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and clean up."
Under the sunset, there is still a trace of fire clouds in the sky.
Lu Yunran followed Wang Xiu in confusion, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but his cheeks became hot.
It’s a good sign that your future parents-in-law pay attention to you just after discussing marriage.
Wang Xiu and Lu Yunhong discussed it and soon returned with their three sisters-in-law.
On the way, Wang Xiu pulled Lu Yunran into her and Lu Yunhong's carriage. Then Wang Xiu said to Lu Yunhong: "Didn't you order people to go to Taizhou and Ningbo to inquire about it before? Why don't you tell Yun Ran and let her know?
Think about it."
When Lu Yunran heard this, he raised his head nervously.
Lu Yunhong said: "The family tradition of the Zhang family is upright, the parents-in-law are charitable, and there is no discord between the sisters-in-law. The Yao family has a simple population, and their parents dote on them and are very protective of their shortcomings."
"Another thing is that this Yao Baizhi is an adoptive member of the family. He has no blood relationship with his sister who married the prefect as his wife, but the two elders of the Yao family are counting on him to provide for him until they die, so they have been raised as their own son."
Wang Xiu held Lu Yunran's hand and said: "What your eldest brother and I mean, no matter you choose the Zhang family or the Yao family, we will make arrangements for you. So please relax and take a closer look at the Zhang family and the Yao family."
If you find it hard to agree with or accept the way we do things, then don’t choose any of them."
"You are only seventeen this year. I think it is not too late to discuss marriage at eighteen. Our Lu family is a clean family. My father and your eldest brother both passed the imperial examination and became officials. They come from serious scholarly families. Those who look down upon you
Yes, what’s in your stomach is either bad water or dog feces, don’t worry about it.”
Lu Yunran couldn't help but smile, feeling less nervous.
She held Wang Xiu's hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I understand. I won't embarrass our Lu family."
Wang Xiu said again: "Silly girl, our Lu family's reputation is nothing, your lifelong events are more important."
"Listen to my sister-in-law. We would rather have less than waste and choose carefully."
Lu Yunran nodded and gently leaned on Wang Xiu's lap, his eyes filled with mist.
Lu Yunhong watched from the side, stretched his head over, and prepared to lean on Wang Xiu's shoulder.
The next moment, Wang Xiu pushed him away in disgust and glared at him.
How long have you been acting coquettishly and not knowing how to wink!!
Lu Yunhong: "..."
Why did he suddenly have the feeling that the wife he married was the wife of the Lu family, not just his wife??
…
By the time we arrived at Qingquan Village, it was already getting late.
But the lights in the Lu family's courtyard were brightly lit, and the sound of talking and laughing could be heard faintly. The atmosphere seemed to be quite good.
Outside the door, several carriages were parked in the stables, indicating that the Lu family did have guests.
Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu took the lead, and first met Manager Qin who was guarding the door. He whispered: "The older ones are the Zhang family and the younger ones are the Yao family."
Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu nodded slightly and walked in first.
The chatter and laughter inside stopped at the right time. Mrs. Chen stood up, took her daughter-in-law, and led her to salute Mrs. Zhang, and then Mrs. Yao.
On the other side, Lu Yunhong paid tribute to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yao respectively.
Lu Yunhong was still young, but he had already obtained the title of No. 1 Scholar and served as a sixth-rank officer. Although he was dismissed now, neither Mr. Zhang nor Mr. Yao dared to look down upon him and quickly returned the favor.
After finishing his busy work, Wang Xiu looked at Mrs. Zhang, who had a kind-faced face, and then at Mrs. Yao, who was smiling a little awkwardly. He held his mother-in-law's hand and helped her sit down. Then he said, "Today, the junior came late. I didn't treat her well."
Entertain the distinguished guests. I will prepare a good banquet tomorrow, and I also ask the two ladies to show their respect."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry. Since we have met and we are all relatives, we will always have the opportunity to entertain you in the future. I heard from your mother today that your uncle's family will be hiring someone in the next few days, and we all want to join him."
I'm so happy. It's a long and tiring journey, and I'll have to work hard for you, grandma, so don't think it's troublesome for us when the time comes."
Mrs. Yao also said: "Exactly."
Wang Xiu said with a smile: "That's a good feeling. When we arrive at Mudu, I will prepare a good banquet, just to relieve the fatigue of the distinguished guests."
Mrs. Zhang saw that Wang Xiu was generous and neither humble nor overbearing. She had long been fond of the eldest lady of the Lu family, so she wanted to meet her so that she could sleep peacefully at night.
But she couldn't speak, so she just asked: "Are Grandma and Uncle Lu the only ones back? Why don't we see the three girls?"
Wang Xiudao: "How can you do that? We have guests at home, and we have to arrest them even if they don't come. Otherwise, wouldn't it be rude?"
"My three younger sisters are timid and naive. They need me, the sister-in-law, to come and give them a head start, so that I can introduce them myself so that they don't trouble my mother. That would be unfilial."
Mrs. Zhang was amused, covered her mouth and laughed: "My mistress sent a letter, saying that his mentor was most afraid of the eldest grandma. When the eldest grandma gave the order, her sleeves were covered with frost and she asked for a red plum to go back. I was originally
I don’t believe it. I met my eldest grandma today, and I thought that it’s a shame you got married, otherwise how could Wang Siye have the dignity of being a gentleman?”
Wang Xiudao: "Now Wang Siye's majesty is there, but my husband's majesty is gone. For a moment, I don't know who to sympathize with?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Mrs. Zhang laughed, and Mrs. Yao couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Wang Xiu winked at Rongrong and motioned for her to invite the three ladies in.
