After the groom escaped from marriage, she married Jiangmen

Chapter 5
Because Cheng Junze was about to go to war, the tea ceremony was also simple.The old lady of Duke Ning's mansion is still there, she is a gentle and kind old man, Mrs. Lu Hanzhi has already seen her, she is a dignified and elegant lady, it is the first time for Duke Ning to see her, she is sitting on the seat and wants to show a little He is very gentle, but Nai He is used to being serious, so he looks somewhat awkward.Lu Hanzhi saluted the elders one by one, received a bunch of gifts, and then met the younger generation, gave gifts, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Mrs. Cheng was satisfied when she saw Lu Hanzhi standing with her eldest grandson, she nodded and said, "Let's go in the afternoon, let's have a reunion dinner as a family before leaving!"

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law has made arrangements early in the morning, and the table is ready." Mrs. Zheng heard that Cheng Junze was going to go to war in the morning, so she ordered lunch to be prepared in advance, thinking that Lu Hanzhi had just married, and Cheng Junze was going to go to war again , No matter what, we have to have a reunion dinner together.

"Then let's set the meal!" Mrs. Cheng nodded. Although it was not time for lunch, the departure time of the army had already been set, so eating early would save you from being in a hurry.

After Mrs. Cheng spoke, everyone changed places. The maids brought out the food in an orderly manner. Just as the banquet was about to start, the second wife, Mrs. Liang, suddenly said, "Why don't you see your pity?"

Seeing Mrs. Cheng frowning slightly, Zheng said: "Today is our family gathering, and it is not convenient for Lian girl to come. I have already sent someone to send food and snacks. The same is true for brother Cheng and girl Ye."

"You're interested." Mrs. Cheng nodded, "Just ask them to go together in the evening, and Dalang's daughter-in-law will also see them. They are all relatives of the same generation, so it's good to walk around together in the future."

Lu Hanzhi just nodded and smiled. It sounds like these people should be relatives and children living in the house, but the Lian girl who was singled out seems to be a little special.Lu Hanzhi was a little curious, but it wasn't the time to ask questions right now, he just secretly paid attention to the second aunt, and deliberately mentioned that pity girl at this time, which didn't look like kindness.

Today, Lu Hanzhi paid a visit to the relatives of Cheng's parents, and all of them present are Cheng's family members.Old Duke Cheng has five sons and two daughters, only the current Duke Ning and his second uncle Cheng Tianhe are the direct descendants. After the old Duke passed away, the other households were divided, and now only the second household remains in the mansion.Of course, today the bride served tea, and the three uncles also brought their family members here, and now they all stayed for the family banquet. On such an occasion, it would be inappropriate to call relatives with other surnames. This is also the reason why Mrs. Zheng made such an arrangement.

Mrs. Liang mentioned something, and after hearing what Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Cheng said, she curled her lips and stopped mentioning it. The meal was passed peacefully, and the time for Cheng Junze's departure was approaching.Mrs. Cheng took her eldest grandson to give some advice, and then let Cheng Junze go, and Lu Hanzhi, as a newlywed wife, also left with her.

The two returned to Chengyuan together, and Lu Hanzhi asked casually, "Is the pity girl mentioned by the second aunt a relative of our family?"

The two didn't sit together during the family banquet, but Cheng Junze also heard Liang's words. He knew about the pity girl, but he didn't understand. Isn't it normal for Lu Hanzhi to serve tea today and have a family banquet at home, not to call relatives with foreign surnames? ?The two aunts didn't come, what did the second aunt specifically ask her for?Thinking this way in his heart, Cheng Junze heard Lu Hanzhi's question, and answered casually: "She is the grandmother's niece and granddaughter, her name is pity, her parents left early, and her grandmother loved her, so she took her to live in the house."

Lu Hanzhi nodded, and then asked: "Then do you know her very well?"

Relying on his intuition from growing up in the border gate, Cheng Junze felt that this question should be answered well, "You also know that I grew up in the border gate since I was young, and I don't have much time to go back to Beijing. I just recognize her, but I heard that Junyao is very close to her, well, Junyao is my cousin."

"What about the other two?" Lu Hanzhi was quite satisfied with Cheng Junze's answer, since he mentioned it, he can ask them all.

"Cousin Cheng is my aunt's eldest son. He passed the Juren examination last year. My uncle entrusted someone to send him to the Imperial College to study. My mother wanted to take care of the younger generation, so she brought him to live in the house. Cousin Ye is the daughter of my little aunt. The family is not doing well, and my grandmother decided to pick me up, and I live in Zhuyuan with my cousin Guo." Cheng Junze can also tell this information, he seldom returns to Beijing, and has only met his relatives a few times.

Lu Hanzhi nodded, expressing his understanding.When the two returned to Chengyuan, Cheng Junze's luggage had already been packed. Lu Hanzhi didn't know Cheng Junze, nor did he know what to prepare for going to the border. After thinking about it, he took out a small box from his cage and handed it to Cheng Junze. , said: "Going out, if it is still cold today, these are some commonly used medicines, prepared by my mother, you take them in case of emergencies, the purpose and usage are all written on it."

Cheng Junze didn't expect that Lu Hanzhi would give him this. He opened it and saw that the inside was divided into small compartments and placed in a porcelain bottle. The corresponding usage and purpose were written on the paper and placed under the porcelain bottle.

Seeing Cheng Junze's surprised look, Lu Hanzhi said: "My father has been released for many years, and we also traveled around with our parents. Sometimes we got sick outside, and it was inconvenient to ask a doctor to make medicine. My grandfather used to work in the Imperial Hospital. When my mother mentioned this, she made pills from commonly used medicines, which are not as effective as boiled soups, but they are more convenient."

Hearing what Lu Hanzhi said, Cheng Junze nodded in agreement. The border borders are short of medicine and medicine. If there is a war, they have to endure it. But I don’t know if this pill is difficult to make. If it can be made, it will be beneficial to people who often travel far away. Can be of great use.Of course, Cheng Junze didn't have time to think about these things right now, so he thanked Lu Hanzhi and accepted the medicine box.

In the afternoon, everyone in Ningguo's mansion sent Cheng Junze to the door. Seeing Cheng Junze riding away on horseback, Mrs. Zheng looked a little disappointed, and turned to Lu Hanzhi, "Go back, Junze will come back well."

Because of Cheng Junze's expedition, the atmosphere of the family banquet in the evening was much calmer.Lu Hanzhi also met a cousin and two cousins ​​mentioned in the morning, and they met each other, and they were considered acquaintances.

Song Cheng was just seventeen, it is very rare to be admitted to Juren at this age, he looks like a gentle and decent boy, in terms of age, Song Cheng is one year older than Lu Hanzhi, but he is called cousin Cheng Junze, and Lu Hanzhi has to be called cousin sister-in-law.Ye Rong was only thirteen, she looked thin and small, she spoke softly, she sat back in her seat after saying hello to Lu Hanzhi, and didn't talk much with others.

It was Guo Xinlian who Lu Hanzhi paid more attention to. He heard her name in the morning, but now seeing the real person, he couldn't help sighing that she lives up to her name.Different from Ye Rong's delicate and petite appearance, Guo Xinlian's figure is slender, but tall, but if you look at the face alone, it is full of softness and beauty, like a weak willow in the wind that attracts love.Lu Hanzhi saw her approaching gracefully, bowed to him, and said, "Xin Lian met my cousin."
