For dinner, there were more than a dozen side dishes made by Mu Siyu herself.
A few adults slowly tasted the delicious food, paired with the fragrant wine, and it couldn't be over for a while.
After Lu Shaoyu got off the table, he planned to go back to his room to read. After all, he was going to the academy in a few days. He had to read more to avoid failing to keep up with the students who had been studying in the academy since childhood.
Speaking of Lu Shaoyu going to school, we have to mention the prince Fan Yan. Fan Yan asked him to be his reading companion, so Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan became his reading companions.
Mu Siyu didn't want Lu Shaoyu to go to the academy, because she knew that it was a place where the children of the royal family and the second generation of top officials studied, and there must be a lot of right and wrong. Lu Shaoyu told her that she wanted to go, because there was a collection of books there that could not be seen from the outside.
This alone made it worthwhile for him to go. As for the masters there, there was actually one whom he particularly admired. Even Master Wen was full of praise for him.
"Sister." Lu Shaoyu walked towards Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Zhiyun was sitting on the swing, not knowing what she was thinking. When she heard Lu Shaoyu's voice, she looked up and stopped swinging.
"elder brother."
"Did you fight with someone today?" Lu Shaoyu asked.
Lu Zhiyun blinked: "What are you doing? Brother, what are you talking about?"
Lu Shaoyu grabbed her arm, and the sleeves slid down, revealing a black patch of green on her wrist.
"I accidentally injured it."
"Do you want me to analyze the differences between 'accidental bruises' and 'scars caused by an argument'?"
"No need." Lu Zhiyun raised a cute smile, "Brother, don't tell mother, mother is the kindest person. She will definitely not let me go to Sibao Pavilion if she knows that I am arguing with others."
"If it's not suitable for you, don't go there. With your intelligence, why would you want to be an embroiderer?" Lu Shaoyu said.
"Brother, I don't like to hear you say this. Mom likes to build houses, which is not something a girl should like! I do embroidery, which is what girls are good at, right? Besides, Mom often says, three
I'm the number one scholar in one hundred and sixty lines, you can't look down on my preferences, right?"
"If you are bullied, tell me." Lu Shaoyu rubbed her hair, "No one can bully my sister."
After drinking for a few rounds, Lu Xuan suddenly said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I have something to say."
"What?" Lu Yi asked.
"I want to marry Miss Miao." Lu Xuan said, "Mr. Miao is a colleague of mine and has a good relationship with me. He intends to betroth his sister to me. I have also met that Miss Miao, she is an excellent woman.
so……"
Mu Siyu looked at Lu Xuan.
Xia Kun said to An Yu: "Madam, I'm a little dizzy. Help me back to my room."
An Yu had no doubt that he was there: "Okay."
Lu Zhiqian also found an excuse and left.
There were only three of them left at the dining table.
"Have you thought clearly?" Lu Yi said, "Once we come to propose marriage, no matter what happens in the future, as long as it is not the fault of the woman's family, we cannot regret the marriage."
"I have thought about it for a long time and have decided." Lu Xuan said.
"Getting married is something that is ordered by the parents and the matchmaker. The parents-in-law leave early, so your brother and I have to check it for you." Mu Siyu said, "Well, let's take a look at this Miss Miao first. If we feel that she
It's really good. If you insist on getting married, we will prepare it for you."
"Okay." Lu Xuan said, "I'll talk to Brother Miao."
"Brother-in-law, there are some things I wouldn't dare to ask in front of your brother, but you took the initiative to bring up the marriage. I still think I should ask, does your eagerness to get married have anything to do with Chu Chu?"
"Chu Chu is..." Lu Yi looked at her.
"His former classmate Chu Ling was disguised as a man. Her real name was Chu Ningzhu. She was the concubine of the Duke of Chu. She was engaged to the eldest grandson of the King of Fenyang." Mu Siyu said, "I met Chu Chu today. It turned out that
I also wanted to talk to my uncle, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”
"No." Lu Xuan said, "It has nothing to do with her."
Mu Siyu looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi said: "If Brother Xuan says it has nothing to do with it, it means it has nothing to do with her. Since the other party is engaged, it is best to keep a distance from her."
This is how the matter was resolved.
Mu Siyu always felt that Lu Xuan's affection for Chu Ningzhu was not unintentional. After all, the two had been together for so long, and he also took special care of Chu Ningzhu. Now that he knew that the other party was a woman, how could he not feel a little upset?
However, as Lu Yi said, given their current situation, it is indeed best to keep a distance.
Back in the room, Mu Siyu mentioned what happened just now.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Madam, Brother Xuan is so old and is an official of the court. If he can't even understand his own feelings, he won't be able to go far in the court."
"I'm not worried about his authority."
"Don't worry." Lu Yi said, "Even if he falls down, it's his business. Tomorrow I will take Shao Yu and Brother Han to the academy, please help me prepare some gifts."
"Yes, this matter is very important. I will prepare it right away."
"No rush, let's rest now."
Lu Yi personally took Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan to the academy, and Mu Siyu felt more relieved. The next day, she prepared gifts for Lu Yi and watched them leave in a carriage.
"Ma'am, what should we do next?"
"Open a store!" Mu Siyu said, "I brought so many people here, but I didn't just let them come to the capital to see the scenery."
Kite and Wang Dachun both followed.
In addition to these two first batch of students, there are more than twenty experts, all of which are the capital for her to open a store.
"I had chosen the store before. The store responsible for sales is very close to the inner city and can easily attract customers. I also looked at an empty place. Before I left, I arranged for someone to build a factory there. I have no time these days.
Go take a look, I just happen to go take a look today, if there is no problem, you can start making preparations."
"Madam, I see that you are not in a hurry at all. I thought you wanted to relax for a while, but it turned out that you had already planned it." Ziyuan said.
"They all have something to do, how can I be idle?" Mu Siyu said, "But the capital city is not as good as Shanghai and North City. We have nothing here, and everything has to start over."
Business matters can be dealt with slowly. Mu Siyu is more concerned about Lu Xuan's personal problems now. No matter in ancient times or modern times, Lu Xuan should have a destination at this age.
However, she had to tell Chu Ningzhu about this matter.
No matter what, at least let her know Lu Xuan's thoughts and his decision.
"Sister, why do you want to invite me to drink tea outside today?" Chu Ningzhu stood on the balcony of the tea house, looking at the passers-by below.
"I have something to say," Mu Siyu said, "about my brother-in-law."
"Is he not angry anymore?" Chu Ningzhu said happily.
"He's not angry, but... like I said before, he wants to avoid suspicion." Mu Siyu said, "In addition, he plans to marry Miss Miao."
