farmer's little girl

Chapter 136 Extra Story 12 After 3
Although Mei and her daughter-in-law didn't get along very much, they knew that she was a dignified and reserved person. When she saw her lose her composure, she became anxious on the spot. It was Lu Jiaoyue who comforted her and Liu Rong, and the three went to the side and sat down. this matter.

It turns out that this little concubine has a lot of background, she is the daughter of Liu Shilang, the Minister of Rites of Lu Guangzhi, this girl does not know how she fell in love with Lu Guangzhi, she is obviously a lady of the official family, but she is very undignified, and frequently sends her servants to Zhou The government sent things, and it was almost as if Liu Rong, the regular wife, was nothing.

The Mei family was still in the shock of 'there is a lady from the official family who is interested in my son', but Lu Jiaoyue was thinking strangely.

Why is there this Liu Shilang everywhere?
In his previous life, because he wanted to recruit Du Lian as a son-in-law for his daughter, he hit a wall and died. In this life, Du Lian was living in the countryside, but his daughter took a fancy to her second brother again.

In the dark, Lu Jiaoyue suddenly had a feeling of destiny that this Liu Shilang would always appear in her life once in her life, and it was always in this way.It's just that this time, is it good or bad?And what is Zhier thinking?

Over there, Mrs. Mei was still asking: "What did the second child say? He said he was going to marry that official lady?"

Liu Rong glanced at her mother-in-law, shook her head, and said, "Although my husband didn't say anything, he didn't stop that person from sending things home."

Mrs. Mei didn't speak, but with a complex look on her face, she sighed after a long time, patted Liu Rong's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I won't agree to this..."

Just as he was talking, some servants reported that the master had returned.

As soon as the servant who sent the message left, Lu Guangzhi walked in.

He was dressed in a blue official robe, making him look more and more tall and straight, with a handsome face like jade.

Seriously speaking, Lu Guangzhi and Lu Jiaoyue are the best-looking in the whole Erfang family. Lu Jiaoyue followed the Liu family, but Lu Guangzhi took all the advantages of the Mei family and Lu Minghai.

After walking in, Lu Guangzhi first glanced at Liu Rong, and then at Mei Shi and Lu Jiaoyue.

"Mom, big sister!"

Compared with him back then, he is more restrained now, but no one will ignore the excitement in his eyes.

Mei Shi didn't care about anything else at the moment, but looked at her son excitedly.

"Second child."

Lu Guangzhi stepped forward, knelt down in front of Mrs. Mei with a plop, and said, "Mother, my son is not filial. He has never been filial in front of you and father, and he has not been able to find time to go home and spend time with his family all these years. It is ashamed to be a son of man."

Meishi went to pull him while wiping away tears, "Get up, your father and I are tough, and you still need to be filial. You are a person who does great things, just be your official."

After the mother and son spoke a few more words, Lu Guangzhi calmed down a little before walking in front of Lu Jiaoyue.

"Miss."

With excitement in her eyes, Lu Jiaoyue wanted to touch his head like before, but when she stretched out her hand, she realized that her younger brother had grown taller these days, and was no longer the one who liked to cling to the eldest sister.

She patted his arm instead, "You have grown up." In fact, she had a lot to say, but all she could say was this one.

With his head half down, Lu Guangzhi stood in front of the eldest sister like a child. He pressed his lower lip tightly, choked his throat, and hummed softly.

He thought of the sharp and rebellious self back then. His parents, because of the face of other elders, no matter whether he was right or wrong, he was the one who scolded him first. Only the elder sister would secretly comfort him, and even give him a piece of caramel like coaxing a child. I gave him a sweet mouth to make him happy; I remembered that I went to work as a coolie in the warehouse, and my eldest sister was angry and angry when she found out, with tears in her eyes; remembering that I was too old, my eldest sister tried hard to persuade my parents to let him go to school ;He thought a lot...

He didn't dare to raise his eyes, and said that the man did not flick his tears easily, but in fact it was just that his emotions were not up to the mark.

At this time, he was not the number one scholar who had a great reputation in front of outsiders, nor was he the celebrity in front of the confident Holy Majesty, but Lu Guangzhi, Lu Jiaoyue's younger brother.

Seriously speaking, in the whole family, Lu Guangzhi is actually the closest to the elder sister Lu Jiaoyue.

He is ranked second, with the elder brother on top and the younger brother on the bottom.For the eldest son, Lu Guangyi, the couple depended heavily on him, and Lu Guangyi was also the son they valued the most.And the only daughter was weak since she was a child, and took away most of their attention. When Lu Jiaoyue was a little older, the Mei family gave birth to Wulang again, so Lu Guangzhi was really like the saying goes, he couldn't get on with the world and didn't suffer. Land, the most unfavored second child in the family.

The reason why Lu Guangzhi worked so hard back then was because he had a desire to show his own existence, but everyone didn't even notice it.

"Okay, now that you're a father, why do you still have red eyes?" Lu Jiaoyue teased, but in fact her eyes were also red.

Only then did Lu Guangzhi blink his eyes, and raised his head with a smile.

"Let's go ahead first. Father, brother-in-law, and uncle are all waiting there." When Lu Guangzhi got home, he heard that his father, mother, and eldest sister were here. , then came here by the trail.

Lu Jiaoyue nodded, and the siblings went to help Mrs. Mei to go outside.

Liu Rong followed, and Lu Guangzhi glanced at her inexplicably, she was inexplicably guilty.

There were quite a few people who came this time. Except for Lu Guangyi and his wife and their children, everyone from Erfang's family came.

It's not that Lu Guangyi and his wife don't want to come, but that the family really can't leave.

In addition to Zhou Jin and his wife, the Zhou family also has their son and daughter.For more than ten years, the husband and wife only had these two children. Lu Jiaoyue's youngest son was difficult to deliver every day, and Zhou Jin never let her have another child since then.

Mei Zhuangyi and his wife came to the Mei family. The couple came halfway, so the children didn't bring them.As for the rest of the Mei family, they each have their own affairs to be busy. The Liu family and the old man Mei are getting older and cannot afford to travel long distances.

There were also a couple with three bedrooms, so they only brought Liulang and his wife. Liulang was not very intelligent, and he had only passed the exam for a boy student for so many years.The three-bedroom couple saw that they could not count on their son to honor their family, and they were not people who accepted death, so now Liu Lang was learning to do business with Lu Mingshan.Now it looks good, this time the family came here to open their eyes.

So many people sat at a large table, and everyone sat together laughing and laughing, reminiscing about the interesting things in the past, without saying a word about why they came this time.

After the meal, Lu Minghai and Lu Mingshan drank a little too much, and were helped back to their houses by Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Qiao respectively.The juniors also went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only Lu Guangzhi, Zhou Jin and Mei Zhuangyi to talk, and Lu Jiaoyue also stayed, she was still thinking about Lu Guangzhi's concubine.

After finally sending Lu Jiaoyue away, Lu Guangzhi looked back at his little uncle and brother-in-law, and smiled wryly.

"Okay, you can tell the truth now." Mei Zhuangyi said.

Lu Guangzhi didn't hide from the two of them either, but chose some to confess the matter frankly.

It turned out that things were not as Lu Guangzhi said to Lu Jiaoyue just now, it was because of Liu Rong's distrust that the couple had a misunderstanding.This is also true, but there are other reasons as well.But the reason for this is a bit complicated, it has something to do with some official affairs, these things are not suitable for Lu Jiaoyue, a woman, to know.

And it is impossible for Lu Guangzhi and Zhou Jin to talk in too much detail, after all, they are not people in the officialdom, so they just talked about it in a rough way.

Zhou Jin and Mei Zhuangyi are not ignorant people, especially the two have a clear mind. Since Lu Guangzhi emerged from the new emperor's side, he is destined to have ups and downs in his life. They can't help him other than to be his last backing.

"Okay, brother-in-law believes that you can handle things well. If there is anything, remember to say it. We can help." Zhou Jin said.

Lu Guangzhi thanked her, but Mei Zhuangyi said with a smile: "Thank you, without your support, our business would not be able to achieve what it is today. There are a few other things, I'm afraid you told her in advance Yes, but that girl kept it a secret, and kept silent in front of us."

Officials and businessmen have always been inseparable from businessmen, and businessmen cannot do without officials to a certain extent.Qian Fengxing's business can reach its current level, which cannot be separated from the outstanding abilities of Zhou Jin and others, and also cannot be separated from Lu Guangzhi, who has a celebrity in front of the new emperor in the court.

Lu Guangzhi smiled wryly, it wasn't the niece he mentioned, seriously, he borrowed the advantage from his niece.It's just that the nephew and uncle had a private agreement at the beginning, so he didn't explain anything.

Now that we have mentioned a little bit, it is natural to talk about her marriage.

The three of them valued her more, so Diandian's marriage really couldn't be handled at will like an ordinary girl's family.

If you marry high, you are afraid that she will be wronged; if you marry low, you are still afraid that she will be wronged.It is also because the current status of Zhou Jin and others is still a bit embarrassing. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and even imperial merchants are still not as high as those dignitaries.

"If brother-in-law is at ease, I will help her find a marriage in Beijing. I will definitely find a suitable family for her child." Lu Guangzhi said.

Listening to his voice, it is obvious that it is better to marry into an official's family a little bit. When a person reaches a certain level, he will inevitably think about many issues.Following Lu Guangzhi every day, he is very talented in reading, and he must end up taking an exam and taking an official career in the future.And having a sister who married into an official family is helpful to Tiantian, Zhou's family, and even Qian Fengxing.

Of course, the premise is that this marriage is really good, and the children are willing.

But Zhou Jin said: "Let's take another look. You need your elder sister's consent. You also know that your elder sister is eager to keep her daughter by her side forever, but she has been thinking about marrying her off all day long, and she is very entangled." Having said that, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.

But not all mothers have been like this in the past. They are reluctant to let their daughters marry, but they are reluctant to let their daughters marry. In short, every mother will experience this.

When Lu Jiaoyue was mentioned, Lu Guangzhi stopped talking.

If her eldest sister really insisted on marrying her daughter by her side, it really wasn't something he could shake.

After pressing the button, the three of them went back to rest.

Seeing Zhou Jin walk in from the outside, Lu Jiaoyue, who just lay down after washing, leaned on the head of the bed and said, "What did Zhier keep you whispering again? I knew that things were not as simple as he said. Why do you spend so much time talking?" They treat me like a child and hide everything from me."

When it came to the end, he looked a little unhappy.

Zhou Jin came over, smoothed her long hair, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Okay, don't be angry, it's not that we want to hide it from you, but that this matter is related to some things in the court, even if it is related to You said it, but you didn't understand."

Now that the court was mentioned, Lu Jiaoyue couldn't tell the difference.

"So Zhi'er really intends to marry that Liu Shilang's daughter as a concubine?"

Zhou Jin laughed: "Why do you think so? Not to mention that although Zhi'er is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, after all, his official position is not high, but he can't marry a third-rank official's daughter as a concubine. Even if you really plan to marry, you The siblings are going to go to court first. And Zhier has no such plan, isn't it all a misunderstanding?"

Generally speaking, Lu Jiaoyue still believed in her younger brother, so she nodded, followed her with a slight sigh and said, "Rong'er is really playing tricks in front of mother. I was concerned about her face, so I didn't poke her face. she."

Compared to the Mei family, Lu Jiaoyue had to see it more thoroughly. Although she didn't have much contact with Liu Rong, she knew how her sister-in-law behaved in daily life.

Generally speaking, Liu Rong has always been a decent person, and she has never disliked that her husband's family is from the countryside, and her sister and brother-in-law are businessmen, so it is almost impossible to find fault.But at the same time, she is also a person who pays great attention to her face, and is even reserved. A person who pays attention to her face and is reserved enough will go all the way to complain to her mother-in-law just because her husband suspects that she is a concubine?

There must be some thoughts of complaining, but combined with Lu Guangzhi's attitude, it is clear that the matter has not reached that level. Liu Rong has nothing more than aggravated the seriousness of the matter and moved her mother-in-law and eldest sister in advance as backers.

It stands to reason that this kind of behavior is not wrong, but combined with the worries of myself and others after knowing the incident, it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, it was the younger brother's family matter, so Lu Jiaoyue couldn't say anything, she just told Zhou Jin that the younger sister-in-law's move was wrong.

Zhou Jin was naturally not good at evaluating a woman who was still his brother-in-law's daughter-in-law, so he could only change the topic, and after washing up, the couple rested.

Since Lu Guangzhi came back to the house, he has been standing by the window with his hands behind his back, watching the moonlight outside the window.

Liu Rong hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't hold on any longer. She couldn't help but leaned forward and said, "Don't blame me, I..."

Lu Guangzhi sighed, and looked at her with dark and inexplicable eyes: "I explained to you at the beginning that you acted as if nothing happened on the surface, but in fact, you have always suspected me in your heart. Is it that I am so unworthy of your trust?"

Liu Rong did not dare to look into her husband's eyes, and began to cry softly.

She didn't want to be suspicious, but she couldn't help being afraid in her heart. She knew that she was not worthy of her husband. If it wasn't for her father's relationship, she would never marry such a dragon among men.

No one knew that Liu Rong had fallen in love with Lu Guangzhi a long time ago. When he first became her father's disciple, after her father and her mother mentioned the matter of kissing, she didn't say anything about it, but she was very happy in her heart. Knowing that he rejected the marriage.

Knowing that he rejected the marriage, she was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to show it in front of her parents. Afterwards, her parents wanted to remarry with her, but she repeatedly found excuses to refuse.She has become a big girl, but she still persists, persisting in the hope that can't see the future.

Unexpectedly, he came to the door to propose marriage to him. At the moment the marriage was settled, Liu Rong was grateful to God for allowing her to marry him.So after marrying him, she strictly abides by women's morals and is considerate in everything. When her in-laws say that she doesn't need to be by her side, she will not miss the three festivals and six rituals, and send letters to say hello every now and then.Knowing that he valued the elder sister, she tried her best to get close to the elder sister. Even if they couldn't meet each other, she carefully selected the annual gifts to Zhou's family every year.

He worked very hard and was busy with his career, but whenever she told him what she had chosen for the elder sister and the children of the elder sister's family, he would always listen to her very patiently.

He was happy, she was happier, and therefore more attentive.

He was so good, getting better and better, so good that it frightened her.No one knew that after Lu Guangzhi won the first prize in the examination, Liu Rong's family actually said a lot of things to her behind her back, most of which were private words, so she had to be prepared. I will not take concubines.But Lu Guangzhi is not what he used to be now, he will be an official in the future, and his future will not be small in the future, so she must be mentally prepared.

Liu Rong made this kind of psychological preparation for six years. At first she was wronged, but she knew she couldn't stop her, so she had no choice but to accept her fate.But when Lu Guangzhi didn't show any signs of wanting to take a concubine, after so many years, she gradually began to panic.The better her relationship with her husband was, the more she panicked, fearing that this happiness would be broken.

Therefore, when Lu Guangzhi showed some signs of wanting to take a concubine, she panicked.

She was very flustered, even if Lu Guangzhi explained it to her, she didn't believe it, because she had seen and heard how too many men ignored the relationship with their original spouse for many years after they got rich.It's better, marry a few concubines at home, and the original spouse will continue to provide for them.Not good, there are also a few people who stop their wives and remarry.

She was so flustered that she couldn't control herself, so she wrote to her husband's house.

She knew that even if her parents-in-law were in favor of her son taking a concubine, the eldest sister would not agree, because the eldest sister is a woman, and she hoped that the eldest sister would help herself for the sake of everyone being a woman, and for the sake of her obedience over the years. Bundle.Over the years, she has understood the position of the elder sister in her husband's heart. As long as the elder sister speaks for her, the husband will definitely listen to the elder sister.

Things went more smoothly than she had imagined, but when she went out before, the look her husband gave her scared her.

She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she was inexplicably flustered.

Liu Rong spoke her fears and thoughts in a tearful voice. She spoke very urgently, and she always felt that if she didn't speak clearly today, she might lose something.

Lu Guangzhi's eyes became more and more complicated. He sighed heavily before pulling Liu Rong into his arms.

"Silly girl."

This silly girl was still the first time Liu Rong was a married woman, and she made some jokes because of her ignorance. Lu Guangzhi called this sentence once.Hearing this, Liu Rong burst into tears. She buried herself in her husband's arms, crying hysterically.

"Sorry……"

"I'm the one who's sorry for you. I forgot to tell you that I actually like you." Lu Guangzhi sighed,

When did liking start?
Maybe when I proposed marriage to her at the beginning, it was really because I felt guilty, and felt that I had delayed her by refusing the marriage.But when she cautiously fell in love with him, when she held back her reluctance, and virtuously proposed to stay and serve in front of her parents, when she took care of herself and loved her family, maybe the liking just happened.

It's just that he never said it out. Scholars are more reserved. Lu Guangzhi thought that his performance could make her understand his intentions, but he didn't expect that she had so much anxiety and fear hidden in her heart.

The sound of "My heart pleases you" was very soft, but it penetrated into Liu Rong's ears very clearly. She couldn't believe it, she was ecstatic, and her eyes showed expectation, until Lu Guangzhi blushed slightly and nodded to her, Then he cried again with a wow.

Husband and wife for many years, finally in a moment of heart to each other.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Rong apologized to Mei and Lu Jiaoyue with red eyes, saying that she should not have moved her mother-in-law and eldest sister here just because of her narrow-mindedness.

Mei only treated Lu Guangzhi as her son bullied her daughter-in-law, but Lu Jiaoyue knew it well, but she has always been a gentle and generous person, so naturally she would not argue with Liu Rong.Especially seeing the more harmonious and loving relationship between her younger brother and younger sister-in-law, she was actually very happy in her heart.

The matter was settled, and there was no barrier between the family.

Lu Jiaoyue and the others stayed in the capital for a month, and finally set foot on their way home.

Before parting, everyone was reluctant to part. After all, there is a chance to meet again in the future, but it is not so uncomfortable.

What's worth mentioning is that when Diandian stayed, Zhou Jin and his wife thought she was used to being wild and greedy for the prosperity of the capital.It wasn't until a while later that a handsome man came to propose marriage that the couple knew what their daughter had done.

Of course, this is another story.

Looking at Lu Guangzhi's family on the pier and her daughter waving at her, Lu Jiaoyue's eyes were hazy and she couldn't help sobbing.

Zhou Jin patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Okay, why cry, we will come back next year."
