Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 55

After leaving the chess club and saying goodbye to Lu Rong, Yao Jiting happily returned to his home, went straight to the old lady's yard.

Mrs. Yao is almost sixty, and she is usually quiet, planting flowers and admiring calligraphy and painting, and one day has passed.Just finished copying a passage of scriptures, and heard that her grandson had returned, Mrs. Yao washed her hands and went to the main room to wait.

"Grandmother." Yao Jiting raised his feet and stepped into the main room, his fair face was faintly flushed, his eyes were clear, and he was more energetic than when he was touched.

"Didn't Jiting go to play chess with Mr. Lu?" Mrs. Yao looked at her grandson in amazement.Because at home, there are maids and mothers who have served for many years by her side, Old Mrs. Yao motioned her grandson to sit down under her, and teased affectionately: "Why does it look more like luck?"

Yao Jiting lowered his head slightly and raised the corners of his lips when the old man saw through his mind at a glance.

The old lady Yao saw the "cozy" appearance of her grandson, a big girl who had just fallen in love with her, and she was amused. She winked at the maids, and they all went down. I don’t even like it, tell grandma, which lady do you like this time?”

Her husband and son passed away one after another, and there were only two grandsons left in the family. The eldest was not up to date. Mrs. Yao counted on two wishes to come true in her life. Get married as soon as possible, spread the branches and leaves for the Yao family, and have many children and grandchildren.

When it comes to feelings, when you are not enlightened, you are like a stone. When you are enlightened, the whole person seems to live again.At the beginning of love, imagining Lu Yun's beautiful face with hairpin flowers, Yao Jiting was still a little shy, lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "Grandmother, grandma has only seen it before, she is Lu Sanye's sister."

Old lady Yao heard this, but her gray eyebrows furrowed little by little.

Yao Jiting took a peek, and when he saw his grandmother frowning, he suddenly panicked, "Grandma, what do you think is wrong?"

The old lady Yao was really dissatisfied with Lu Yun, but she didn't want to speak ill of the girl. After thinking for a moment, she said tactfully: "Miss Lu is only twelve, she is too young, change to a girl who is fourteen or five years old, and if she gets married this year, grandma will be able to hug her next year." Great-grandchild."

It turned out that it was because of this. Yao Jiting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandmother, I just entered the Imperial Academy. I have a lot to learn in the past few years. If I get married right away, it is inevitable that I will have two things at once. Grandmother, I have thought about it on the way, Miss Lu. It's quite appropriate, we should get engaged first, and after three years I've gained a firm foothold in the Imperial Academy, so I just happen to marry her."

"You mean, the Lu family has already agreed?" Mrs. Yao asked doubtfully. Could it be that her grandson is hot?

Yao Jiting couldn't hold back his joy any longer, and nodded with a smile, "Grandmother, the third master Lu asked me to go out today just for this marriage."

The old lady Yao's face was even more ugly, and there was no need to beat around the bush when talking to her grandson. Mr. Lu, who is the censor, is highly appreciated by the emperor. The Lu family is at its peak. Please think about it, if Miss Lu is fine, why is Lu Shangshu willing to marry his only daughter to you? Yes, You won Tanhua, but Third Master Lu is still number one, so would you care about a Tanhua Lang as your sister-in-law?"

Yao Jiting was stunned, and looked at his grandmother diagonally across from him in disbelief, "You mean, Miss Lu..."

The old lady Yao shook her head, and said with conscience: "Miss Lu is just like her mother, simple, simple, gentle and well-behaved, she is a good girl."

Hearing this sentence, Yao Jiting's high-pitched heart finally fell back, and he knew that such a beautiful girl would never have a bad character.

However, the old lady Yao changed the subject and said solemnly: "But Miss Lu is weak in nature, introverted and cautious, she is definitely not a qualified candidate to be the head of the house. Ji Ting, Lu Shangshu wants to marry his daughter to you because he has a crush on our Yao family. The population is simple, and you have a bright future. When Miss Lu gets married, she will not be ugly. I have to say that Lu Shangshu is really thinking about his daughter, but we can't agree to it. Grandma is getting old and doesn't have a few years to live. , once grandma is gone, with Miss Lu's temper, can grandma expect her to be your good wife? No, grandma would rather find you a lower family background, but the daughter-in-law of the Yao family must be dignified and generous, able to deal with things. Stand alone."

"Grandmother means, let me refuse this marriage?" Yao Jiting looked puzzled.

"Yes." The old lady Yao was resolute and advised her grandson earnestly, "Jiting, grandma knows you have met Miss Lu, to be honest, Miss Lu is beautiful, and grandma can understand your reluctance, but marrying a wife and a virtuous , concubine and sex, a wife needs a husband and a child, the responsibility is heavy, and you must not be hasty, at worst, grandma will give you two more beautiful concubines in the future..."

"I don't want to be a concubine."

I should tell my grandmother, and he understood what my grandmother meant. Yao Jiting quickly calmed down, stood up, looked directly at the elder with black eyes, and said, "Grandma, I know that you think so for my own good and for the good of the Yao family, but my wife It is the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life, the person I have to face every day, and I want to marry someone I like. As you said, Miss Lu may not be generous enough, she may not be able to handle everything, but She is still young, she can still learn. Even if she can't learn, I won't blame her, because it is my responsibility to revitalize the Yao family. If I have to rely on my wife's help to achieve success, then I am not worthy of her , and I have no right to pick and choose her."

Tanhualang, whose body is like a green cypress, and whose voice is like jade beads, resounds loudly.

The old lady Yao looked at her grandson in shock. Although the grandson didn't listen to her persuasion, the old lady couldn't help but wet her eyes.Look, this is her grandson, her indomitable grandson. She failed to teach her eldest grandson well, but she brought up her second grandson to be a good person. Even if she died, she would have the face to meet the Yao family's ancestors.

"Okay, what Ji Ting said is right, since you have such ambitions, then marry me." Wiping away her tears, the old lady Yao said happily.

Marry, just marry. Although Miss Lu is weak and can't help her grandson, Miss Lu has a good life. She has her father and brother to support her. Lu Zhan loves her daughter so much. When the two children get married in the future, Lu Zhan will think of a way to support his son-in-law?
In short, the advantages of this marriage outweigh the disadvantages for my family. The worst thing is that after the granddaughter-in-law comes in, she will bother and train her well.

After discussing it in private, Mrs. Yao quickly entrusted a matchmaker and formally went to the Lu family to propose marriage with a gift.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Mingyu knew that her parents had taken a fancy to a new uncle for her!

"Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier, you told me earlier, I'll take a closer look when Tanhua Lang came over the other day!" Lu Mingyu ran to her mother, complaining.That day when the elders wanted to see the No. [-] pick, although Lu Mingyu was by her side, her head was full of news that Chu Sui would go to Yueyang, she didn't look at Yao Jiting carefully at all, and now she can't even remember the general appearance.

"It's the same if you say it sooner or later. Anyway, it's not for Ah Nuan to choose a husband." Xiao Shi smiled easily without any guilt.It's not that she deliberately concealed her daughter, it's just that her father-in-law and mother-in-law have seen whether her sister-in-law's marriage is successful or not, and she still has to wait for a reply from the Yao family. Before the news is confirmed, Xiao Shi doesn't want to reveal it first.

The elders were not kind, and Lu Mingyu was angry and aggrieved, and in a fit of rage, gave the naughty younger brother who had been pestering her for a long time to her mother: "Mother, please coax her by yourself. I'll go find my aunt and have lunch at grandma's. Mother doesn't have to wait for me!" She is "unkind", don't blame her for not helping to coax the child, how tiring coaxing the younger brother!
After losing her little burden, Lu Mingyu turned around and ran outside.

"Sister, wait for me!" Brother Heng loves to play with his sister, and when he sees her running away, the little guy is in a panic and chases after her.

Lu Mingyu, who coaxed her younger brother tired, looked disgusted: "I'll go find my aunt, don't follow me."

Brother Heng refused, "I'm looking for aunt too!"

Lu Mingyu deliberately ignored him, and walked a few steps quickly. Hearing that her younger brother was about to cry, Lu Mingyu stomped her feet angrily, walked back, and walked with her younger brother who was laughing through tears.

In the main room, Mrs. Xiao sat comfortably at the table, continuing to leisurely check the list of luggage to be brought at the end of the month.

In Ning'an Hall, Mrs. Zhu was holding her daughter's little hand and whispering, "Does Ajun like the marriage arranged by your parents?"

Lu Yun's face was red, and she buried herself in her mother's arms and said shyly, "I listen to mother, but the sisters of other people's families are all engaged in the [-]th and [-]th, why did mother put me so early..." Speaking of which, The blush faded from the little girl's face, her voice choked up, "I can't bear mother, brother Ah Nuan and the others, I don't want to get married so early..."

She bumped into Yao Jiting, but didn't see it clearly, she just remembered that Yao Jiting should not be ugly.Since her parents said that Yao Jiting was good, then Yao Jiting must be good. Lu Yun was willing to obey her parents' arrangements, but she just couldn't bear to be at home.

"Silly girl, just make an appointment first. Your father said that you will get married when you are 16 years old." Zhu coaxed softly, gently touching her daughter's hair, "Ajun is reluctant to bear mother, and mother is also reluctant." Ajun, if Yao Jiting wasn't too old for you, and it would be inappropriate to be late, your father still wanted to keep you here."

Lu Yun burst out laughing, knowing that she was an old girl.

"aunt!"

Brother Heng's crisp cry suddenly came from the yard. Lu Yun was overjoyed and lifted her from her mother's arms, "Brother Heng is here."

Mrs. Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Nuan must have brought him here to congratulate Auntie. Go!"

Lu Yun blushed and shyly went to see her nephew and niece.

In this way, Yao and Lu's two families began to discuss marriage, and the post was exchanged, and then they will follow the marriage customs step by step.

Lu Rong's family of four will leave for Yueyang at the end of the month, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with the official engagement of the two families, but the news of the marriage has already spread, and everyone in the capital knows that his younger sister will marry Yao Jiting, including the million-dollar man in the palace, Therefore, when he set off at the end of the month, Lu Rong felt at ease.

"Daddy, where is Yueyang?"

Several carriages drove out of the city gate slowly. In the carriage in the middle, Brother Heng asked curiously.

Lu Rong smiled, hugged her son and said, "It's in the south."

Brother Heng blinked his eyes half understanding, turned his head and asked his sister, "Sister, is Yue Yang fun?"

Lu Mingyu looked at her younger brother, leaned her chin to the window, and faced the blue sky in the distance, longing slowly floated in her eyes: "It should be..."
