Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 52
The "lobbying" was unsuccessful, and Lu Rong returned to the third room in a depressed mood.

Mrs. Xiao guessed it when she saw her husband's appearance. After asking about the conversation between the father and son, Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "Sure enough, my father does not look down on the Yao family's family background, but my father probably just didn't understand it for a while, as long as we explain the truth Clearly, father loves Ajun so much, he will definitely nod."

The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan. As a mother, Xiao can understand the thoughts of the father-in-law.A dignified girl from the Shangshu Mansion is going to marry a Yao family whose family is in decline, and they are all counting on young talents to revive the country. At first, the father-in-law certainly feels that his daughter has been insulted. This is an expression of love for his daughter, but when the father-in-law calms down and carefully Think about it, and you will find the benefits of this marriage.

Lu Rong still kept his eyebrows unmoved, and sat beside his wife and said, "It's easy to say, father's temper..."

Not to mention the Lu family, in the entire imperial court, except for the emperor, how many dare to challenge his father?
Xiao still smiled, leaned close to her husband's ear, and asked softly: "We can't, there's mother."

Lu Rong was stunned, and looked at his wife who came up with this bad idea in disbelief.Father is too rigid, firm as a rock, and mother is too soft, fragile like a willow. With respect to her mother's weak temperament that her father told her to go east, she dare not go west, dare to persuade her father?Don't fail to persuade him in the end, but get reprimanded by his father in vain.

Lu Rong really felt that this idea was terrible.

The man didn't think of this, which means he is upright. Xiao smiled and took the pillow on the couch, patted her husband, and then deliberately leaned into her husband's ear and blew softly, "Do you understand?"

She just wanted to let her husband understand the meaning of the wind on the pillow, but Lu Rong was blown away by his wife's blow. Her hands moved ahead of her heart, and she hugged her wife who wanted to leave like a barrier, bowed her head and kissed.Xiao Shi was dumbfounded, and then pushed him angrily, telling him something serious, why did he suddenly pounce on him?Seeing that it's time for dinner, what should I do if my children come and bump into me?
"You let go..." Xiao blushed and glared at her husband angrily, feeling ashamed and anxious, mainly because she was tired from struggling.

"You brag about me first." Lu Rong stared at his wife with dark eyes, the affection in it was so strong that he wanted to make up for the years he missed.Xiao Shi didn't want to condone his nonsense, but she couldn't resist her husband's affectionate eyes at any time since he recovered his eyesight, so Lu Rong continued to pull her belt, but Xiao Shi's hands gradually became weak.

"Then you, hurry up."

"Ah."

Chewing slowly is better than chewing slowly, and the wind and clouds are as wonderful as the wind and clouds. A quarter of an hour later, Lu Rong straightened his clothes and looked at his wife who was still lying on the couch and couldn't get up. .When the maids waiting outside saw him, all of them turned their faces away. The movement just now made people feel embarrassed just thinking about it.

When Lu Mingyu brought his younger brother over, Lu Rong and his wife had already returned to their usual "sanctuary" appearance.

Early the next morning, Lu Rong went out to the banquet, and Mrs. Xiao went to whisper to her mother-in-law. She explained the truth thoroughly, and Mrs. Zhu was soft-hearted. She felt that what her daughter-in-law said was right, so she swore to her daughter-in-law. "Don't worry, Xianxian, I'll tell Grandfather Ah Nuan when he comes back, don't let Yao Jiting be snatched away by others for safekeeping."

Xiao thoughtfully said: "Mother, don't be in a hurry. Father has been busy with state affairs all day, and he definitely wants to rest when he gets home. You can mention it to father before going to bed. At that time, father is the most relaxed and easy to listen to." Since It's pillow wind, of course it has to be blown in the brocade tent, otherwise it will be blown in advance and blow people away, which will be counterproductive.

Mrs. Zhu nodded again and again, and looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile, "It's still very thoughtful."

What a virtuous daughter-in-law, she is so devoted to her sister-in-law's marriage.

When Lu Zhan came back in the evening, Mrs. Zhu was trimming brother Chong's nails. The two of them were sitting on the couch by the window. The setting sun slanted in. The mother was gentle and amiable, and the son was plump, beautiful and well-behaved. They all looked up when he entered the door. Looking over, they smiled at him together again.With just one glance, Lu Zhan forgot all the troubles of the Ministry of War, and felt comfortable from the inside out.

"Brother Chong, what are you doing?" Lu Zhan had already changed into his normal clothes in the front yard, took off his boots and climbed onto the couch, sat cross-legged opposite his wife, bowing his head to tease his son.Being old and getting a son, Lu Zhan didn't have the slightest aura of a strict father in front of Brother Chong'er, and he smiled more at Brother Chong than the previous four sons combined.

So Brother Chong was not afraid of his father, he raised his chubby left hand to show his neatly manicured nails.

Lu Zhan held his son's little hand and kissed him loudly. The louder he kissed such a big child, the happier the little guy would be.Looking at Brother Chong again, he was so happy that his big eyes narrowed into a line, and his two short legs were lifted up. Zhu Shi gave a disgusted "tsk", holding down his restless son, and at the same time annoyed her husband, "Wait for me!" You can tease him after cutting it."

She was afraid of Lu Zhan before getting married, but after getting married, she became the closest couple. Although Lu Zhan treated her very well with a cold face, Zhu Shi dared to speak.After entering Beijing, her husband gradually alienated her, and Zhu Shi was afraid for a long time. Now that the old couple lived like honey, Zhu Shi naturally became more and more open in front of Lu Zhan.

After being scolded, Lu Zhan glanced at his wife, and honestly withdrew his hand, watching her continue to cut his son's nails. After his son finished cutting, Lu Zhan stretched out his hand very calmly.Zhu understood what her husband meant, but she felt that her husband's nails were not long enough, so she put away the scissors and said, "I'll cut it for you in two days."

Lu Zhan was a little disappointed, and wanted to persevere. Brother Chong rushed over happily, so Lu Zhan had no choice but to coax his son first.

At night, Brother Chong was sleeping with the nurse, and Zhu Shi covered the gauze curtain and lay on the side of the bed. Seeing Lu Zhanhu looking at the top of the bed with something on his mind, Zhu Shi habitually leaned into his arms, hugged him and asked, "What are you thinking?" ?”

Lu Zhan patted her on the shoulder and sighed: "The third child's family wants to be released. Let's talk about the third child first. He has been shutting himself out all these years. No matter how good his knowledge is, it is only on paper. I am worried that he will suffer when he goes outside. And Ah Nuan The three of their mothers, the weak and the weak, are exhausted after traveling thousands of miles, especially Brother Heng..."

Before he finished speaking, his chest felt cold, Lu Zhan was shocked, he lifted his wife's chin to look, and sure enough, he was crying.Thinking of his wife crying for a long time last night when she heard that her son was going to travel far away, Lu Zhan regretted it so much, he sat up quickly, hugged his wife and repeated last night's comforting words, "I just want to say, our third son If I have the ability, I will also send someone to help him, and bring a doctor just in case, it will be fine."

"Then I can't bear it..." Zhu's shoulders twitched, he couldn't bear his son, he couldn't bear his grandchildren.

"You still have Ajun and Brother Chong to accompany you, it's really not good, let's have another one." Lu Zhan knew how to stop his wife's tears as quickly as possible, and moved his big hand, as if to untie Zhu's clothes.

I was only tired last night, and Zhu Shi was not in the mood tonight, so she covered her clothes and refused to give them to him, her mind changed, and she forgot to cry for the time being.Lu Zhan smiled and helped her wipe off the remaining tears on her face. Looking at the fine lines in the corners of his wife's eyes, he said helplessly and dotingly: "When I'm old, I still cry like a little girl. Brother Chong will follow your example. what to do?"

Mrs. Zhu didn't like to hear it, so she lowered her head and hummed: "Then you give Brother Chong to Aunt Zhou to raise him."

"Nonsense." Lu Zhan's voice sank, he was not angry, he just wanted to scare his wife. After learning about the vicious thoughts of the fourth son Lu Xun towards his brother, Lu Zhan sent Aunt Zhou to Zhuangzi.

Mrs. Zhu snorted, sat down skillfully in her husband's arms, tilted her head and asked, "Yao Jiting is pretty good, why don't you want Ajun to marry him?"

Lu Zhan's expression changed suddenly, looking at his stupid wife, how could he guess that his son failed to persuade him, so he came to win over his mother?But Lu Zhan can be fierce to his son, but he can't bear to be angry with his wife. Facing Zhu's serious gaze, Lu Zhan said earnestly: "The descendants of the Yao family have no skills, and Yao Jiting has no brothers to support him. In the coming year, I won't be good enough for Ajun."

"It's only good for Ajun to marry such a family." Zhu repeated the reasoning of her daughter-in-law in her own words, "You see, after Ajun is sensible, he can't go to the palace, the palace, and the government if he can't treat guests. Go, because she doesn't feel comfortable with the rich and powerful. If she really married into a rich family, can Ajun be happy? Yao family's scholarly family..."

In the dead of night, the soft voice whispered in his ears, listening to his wife's eloquence, Lu Zhan gradually moved.

The character of the daughter...

A strong self-blame suddenly surged in Lu Zhan's heart.The son didn't teach, it was the father's fault, the daughter grew up like this, all blame him, blame him for misunderstanding that his wife deliberately imitated the airs of other noble ladies, and argued with his wife several times because of this, unfortunately, the daughter overheard.Perhaps since then, the daughter has planted in her heart the seed that her mother was born in a peasant family and was often looked down upon. Even she has a little inferiority complex and doesn't like to deal with noble ladies.

He has always wanted to choose a talented young man with a top family background and a top talent for his daughter, so that his daughter will marry a talented young man, but compared with his daughter's lifelong happiness, the good looks are not worth mentioning at all.

"Sleep first, I'll think about it later." Lu Zhan stroked his wife's long hair and said solemnly.

Zhu felt relieved, nestled in her husband's warm and firm arms, and soon fell asleep.

Lu Zhan stayed up all night, got up early the next day to go to court, and returned home early in the second half. He called his son and asked, "Ajun is only twelve, why are you in a hurry to marry my sister?" , Wanting to give away their own sister, the men's words are speculative, and they can do whatever they want to marry or marry a sister and marry a sister.

Lu Rong heard the hope, and lied calmly: "Last year when Miss Chen got married, Ah Nuan Niang was very sad. She talked with me about the situation of Ah Nuan's marriage in the future, and mentioned her sister while chatting. As my own sister, I know that my sister is reserved and cautious, and advised me to pay more attention to children from suitable family backgrounds. At that time, my son just listened casually and didn't take it to heart. When I ran into Yao Jiting this time, I suddenly thought of Ajun. Father, my son just mentioned someone If the father thinks it is appropriate, the son will ask Yao Jiting what he means..."

"Ask him what, does he still dare to despise Ajun?" Lu Zhan's face, which had been relieved just now, sank again, and his tiger eyes stared at his son displeased.From Lu Zhan's point of view, his willingness to agree to consider this marriage is flattering Yao Jiting, and Yao Jiting can only be ecstatic and try to win his favor.

Lu Rong also has a daughter, and she has the same opinion about her daughter and younger sister. She can only choose others, and others cannot choose her own family, but getting married is a matter between two families. Notify the Yao family directly to propose marriage?The emperor is not so domineering when he marries his daughter.

But Lu Rong was not stupid, and solemnly followed his father's words: "He dares to despise Ah Jun, I will let Meng Quan break his leg."

Finally hearing something pleasant, Lu Zhan was a little satisfied, tapped his index finger on the table, and asked, "Twenty banquets, did you post to him?"

Lu Rong said respectfully: "Not yet, wait for father to decide."

Lu Zhan knew that his son was coaxing him, and the number one scholar's family was celebrating, so how could he not invite No. [-]?

"Then tell him to come over and let your mother take a look." Lu Zhan said calmly.

Lu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, the test of background was over, and as for Yao Jiting's appearance and ability, Lu Rong was very relieved.

On the third room side, Lu Mingyu was excitedly flipping through the invitations sent to his mother by the steward for review. When he saw Duke Chu's mansion, Lu Mingyu paused, then put it down in time before his mother swept over, and continued to read the next post.

Chu Sui was not in Beijing, Xiao was not afraid of his daughter looking for him, and said with a smile: "At that time, there will be too many guests, and mother will not be able to attend, Ah Nuan will take good care of your brother for mother, and don't ask him to make trouble."

Lu Mingyu nodded obediently.
