If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

After the dark cloud passed, the evening sky became clearer, not dark, but a clear blue.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the mountains outside Taixuanjing were dyed with a thin layer of twilight.

Lu Jing looked at those twilight lights and returned to the Lu residence.

The West Gate of the Lu Mansion was very different this evening.

On weekdays, there are only two guards in front of the gate.

Today there are four more.

Moreover, these four people were obviously not the old soldiers of the Lu family. Although they were wearing casual clothes and black clothes, they all carried a saber on their backs.

Even after a distance of several feet, Lu Jing could still feel the cold air emanating from those sabers.

And the four new guards just took a look at Lu Jing from a distance, and Lu Jing only felt chills in his soul.

"These are brave men who survived the battlefield, and their martial arts cultivation is also uncommon. Each of them is a very strong and brave man."

Lu Jing knew that these guards were from the three prefectures of Chong'an and were under the command of King Chong'an.

The presence of these guards proves that Princess Chong'an has also arrived.

Lu Jing didn't care about these things.

He entered the west gate as usual, and the guards stared at him intently, but Lu Jing entered the west gate as usual without any timidity.

Naturally, the other two guards at the door recognized Lu Jing, and they also opened the way for Lu Jing.

When Lu Jing returned to the small courtyard, he saw that Qingyue was already busy in the side room, because before Lu Jing left today, he told her that he would return at sunset in the evening.

"Qingyue, just order a bowl of noodles, I brought the rest from the library."

After entering the courtyard, Qingyue poured hot water for him to wash his hands, and Lu Jing smiled and said, "In the future, you will have to work less. There are many styles of food in the study building. I bring a few of them every day. Let's eat a reincarnation." , I’m afraid it will take a long time, don’t work so hard anymore.”

Qingyue shook her head stubbornly and said, "I take it from the library every day, wouldn't it cost a lot of silver?"

Lu Jing smiled and replied: "Did you forget? I am the gentleman of the library, and the library takes care of the gentlemen. These meals are not expensive."

Qingyue nodded ignorantly, but said stubbornly: "In the past, there was no money in the courtyard, so we couldn't cook many dishes, but now we are a little more generous, young master, I always have to learn how to cook a few good dishes, otherwise if the courtyard How do you entertain people when they come? Wouldn't it be a loss of face for you?"

When Lu Jing heard Qingyue's words, he didn't refute.

The two of them sat at the table and put out a lot of food, including two dishes that Qingyue had prepared before.

While eating, Qingyue said trivially again: "Young master, today we are going to welcome Princess Chong'an. She is very angry. When she came to the mansion, the sedan chair didn't come down. The sedan chair was carried all the way to the gate of Guangu Songyuan."

Lu Jing said casually: "Princess Chong'an is naturally imposing, many generals in Taixuan Jing, and many martial arts families respect King Chong'an very much.

Moreover, his status is inherently noble, Shengjun and his mother are divided into kings now, the princess returned to Beijing and did not return to their mansion in Beijing, but came to Lu Mansion, this is a great favor to Lu Mansion. "

Qingyue seemed to understand, and said again: "But today I ran into Master Feng's maid, Xixiang, and she took the initiative to talk to me, saying that I was originally appointed to serve the princess in the mansion, and later Miss Qiang went to talk to the old lady. Now, it was replaced by Xueliu and the eldest girl Mallow."

She let out a long breath, and then said: "Although the concubine has no shortage of maids, when she comes to the Lu residence, the Lu residence always sends a guide.

Fortunately, I was not allowed to go, otherwise..."

Qingyue showed timidity on her face, and Lu Jing listened carefully to her with a smile on her face.

Qingyue didn't know what Lu Jing did quietly for this seemingly trivial matter.

"However, today I went shopping outside the mansion and met a few people from the Bieshanyuan. They all looked at me with fierce eyes, and I didn't ask about it. It's really strange."

By this time it was dark.

From the open door, the sky was full of shining stars, which are always visible on autumn nights when the sky is cloudless.

These stars are like fine quicksand, laying out a brilliant Milky Way, flowing obliquely towards the sky.

extremely beautiful.

Lu Jing and Qingyue looked at the night sky, and Qingyue said again: "Young master, this time the old lady didn't invite us.

It is said that Princess Chong'an did not come to the Lu Mansion empty-handed, but also brought a lot of gifts. There are names and surnames in the Lu Mansion, big and small.

The old matriarch also served as the host in Guangu Songyuan, and people with the surname Lu probably gathered there tonight. "

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Jing's face became brighter, and he nodded, "It seems that there are benefits for me to do so many things. The old lady and Mrs. Zhong are probably upset and don't want to see me. Come, we have also planned a clean up."

Qingyue asked suspiciously: "Master, what did you do?"

——

At this time, there were already many people in the huge banquet hall of Guangu Songyuan.

"Yi'er, did you ask? Your father really doesn't want to come?"

Old Madam Ning sat at the top, frowning, with a lot of helplessness in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhong, who was dressed luxuriously, couldn't help but sighed.

There are distinguished guests at the dinner today, but Lu Chongshan is still unwilling to leave the Wulinpo.

"Old Majesty, it doesn't matter if Master Zhongshan doesn't come. The concubine has also heard about him. She knows that Master Chongshan has a heart disease, so she didn't treat him deliberately."

Mrs. Zhong thought about it carefully, and felt that the matter had come to an end, so she took the initiative to comfort the old lady.

"The concubine is resting. Now the banquet will begin. The concubine will come at that time. It's not a prosperous scene without a man to welcome her."

The old matriarch sighed: "But since that's the case, we can only welcome you and me. Fortunately, when the concubine came to the mansion today, I let the heavy mountain go down the foggy forest slope."

When she said this, she looked up at the many Lu surnames sitting in the huge banquet hall.

"All the people have arrived? Today it is said that I am the host, but in fact it is the princess who uses my name to do the host. It is her kindness and kindness. Everyone in the house, big or small, can't be slowed down."

Old Matriarch Ning asked, and Liu Guanshi, who was standing beside him, bent down and said: "Old Madam, except for Master Chongshan, Mrs. Zhou of the Second Mansion, Fifth Master of the Second Mansion, and Third Master of the Dafu, everyone else has come."

Madam Ning subconsciously asked: "Third Master? Who is the Third Master?"

Guanshi Liu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Zhong at the side explained: "It's Lu Jing. I followed your instructions and never invited Lu Jing to come."

Old Madam Ning snorted coldly: "What do you want him to do? Lu Jiang is still lying in the courtyard of the other mountain. Mrs. Zhou cried to me twice, but I scolded him back.

If it weren't for the current pass, how could he have won such favors? Let him stay in his dilapidated courtyard first, and wait for the concubine to leave, this matter must be decided. "

Mrs. Zhong smiled gracefully: "In the past, the matter of Lu Jiang must have been a great event, but now that the princess has come to the mansion, it is naturally the favor of the Lu mansion. Better."

Old Madam Ning showed a smile on her face, but then sighed again: "Wangfei's trip, I don't know the result yet, if the result is good, Wangfei will be happy, and the Lu family will also benefit.

If the result is bad, those fellow nobles are unwilling to help her, and this matter may be difficult. "

Mrs. Zhong was silent for a while, then shook her head and said: "If Prince Chong'an came, it would be easy to talk about it, if he opened his mouth, the Holy King would not care about your daughter's guilt.

It's just that under the anger of King Chong'an, he had already severed the relationship with the noble lady, so only the princess traveled all the way back to Beijing to save the noble lady. "

"Mother, loving daughter, it's only right and proper. When the princess comes, no one can point out anything."

Mrs. Zhong just finished speaking.

Mrs. Ning Xu thought of her daughter who had suffered from a demon, and looked down at where Ning Qiang was, with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhong quickly reminded: "Old Madam, a distinguished guest is coming."

Old Madam Ning wiped the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly, "Even someone like the concubine must be tortured by relatives. What kind of way do you think that noble girl has entered? A good princess doesn't want to be a good princess, but she wants to go to the evil sect , with that demon, to be a great sage, it is said that he stirred up Beiquehai, slaughtered a dragon palace, and provoked the sage to be furious."

Madam Zhong also frowned in confusion.

He just comforted Mrs. Ning and said: "Just now I went to the Wangfei's courtyard to pay my respects. She told me that she was going to see Jiang Baishi, the chief minister tomorrow, but I don't know if Jiang Baishi will see her at such a stall. .”

Although Mrs. Ning was old, she was somewhat shrewd, she said hastily: "I went to see Jiang Shoufu for no reason, Mr. Shoufu knows that the princess is here for such things, so I think he will find a reason to refuse.

I heard that Mr. Shoufu is like all scholars in the world, he is very good at poetry, if he can find two good words, maybe he can see him badly. "

Mrs. Zhong smiled and said: "The old matriarch thinks very well, and the princess has already thought of it, but most of the world's most famous poets are people who can see their heads but never tails, and they can fly thousands of miles every day. no.

The concubine also searched for two words, but she didn't know if they could catch the eyes of Mr. Shoufu. "

The two are talking.

Lu Yi, who was just called up by Mrs. Ning for questioning, was beside her.

When she heard Mrs. Zhong's words, she curled her lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "No good poems? Just look for Third Cousin, he has a lot of poems, even everyone Zhong Yubo and my father were amazed. "

Neither Madam Ning nor Mrs. Zhong heard Lu Yi's muttering clearly.

Just at this time, someone communicated at the door, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong stood up hastily, and another account came in the hall.

The tent was made of extremely delicate tulle, and the four corners were supported by servants with tall staffs plated with yellow beads and inlaid.

And in the tulle, a luxurious woman walked slowly.

Through the tulle, the figure of the woman is looming. She looks only about twenty-seven or eight years old, graceful and graceful, wearing a white dress with light blue lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs, and a few pieces of silver silk thread are drawn on her dress. Clouds, the chest is wrapped in a wide piece of brocade.

This woman has a slender willow waist, snow-greasy and crispy flesh, and a graceful and graceful face. Under the cover of Luo Yi, many bumps are too fat to increase, and too thin to lose a point. At a glance, she feels that she is a rare enchantment in the world!

Princess Chong'an is a famous beauty in the world.

Under the veil, she walked gracefully into the hall, and everyone in the banquet hall stood up to welcome her in.

Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong also turned sideways to give up the main seat.

The princess came on lotus steps and went up to the jade platform.

The old lady and Mrs. Zhong were about to talk to her.

But he saw that the princess went straight to Lu Yi.

"You said... who has poems that can amaze everyone in Zhong Yubai?"
