Chapter 189 The Curve to Save the Nation
Lu's mother asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?" Chunying woke up now, and said in a squeak, "No...it's nothing..." Sitting down again, hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help asking: " Lime... seems to be eighteen or nineteen this year, right?"

"You're not too old." Lu's mother didn't understand her daughter's meaning at all. "Young people don't necessarily know things. Your second uncle didn't marry a wife for the purpose of marrying back to the house. You have to know housework and know how to do it." For business, in the future your second uncle will become the housekeeper, and his wife will have to be the housekeeper. I have met this Qing Ning girl and her family. They are quite satisfied with this marriage. Cheng, the older you are, the older you will be!"

Chunying was dumbfounded when she heard that, but Second Uncle Lu spoke more kindly: "Sister-in-law, you don't think I will marry a little girl to go home, do you? It would be nice for a girl at this age to marry me! I thought I would Will marry an old maid or a little widow."

"Bah! Nonsense!" Lu's mother spat, "If I let my uncle marry an old girl or a young widow, I still have the face to go out to meet people?!" Then she gave Uncle Lu another look, "It's all you! I have found many good marriages with you in the past few years, but you have turned them down. You just hang out with those dubious people on weekdays! If you are willing to listen to what your brother and sister-in-law say all these years, your son can be soy sauce now Already!"

Second Uncle Lu smiled and touched his head, and Lu Yougui lightly knocked on the table: "Okay, you've been rambling about this kind of thing countless times, stop it! The children are all here. Since the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress are in charge If you are married, you should help Haosheng to prepare, and when the newcomer enters the door, don’t mention these gossips.” Then he turned to his younger brother: “If you have friends outside, break them all, and live a good life, this one The girl is the person next to the young mistress, so she can't be neglected."

Uncle Lu sat up straight and said seriously, "Yes, brother."

Lu's mother seemed to be quite satisfied, and asked her son to take a nap, so as not to fall asleep when he went to school to attend classes in the afternoon.Xiaohu refused, and insisted on staying to listen to his father, uncle, and brother-in-law. After being slapped hard by Lu's mother a few times, he honestly entered the room.

Qiuyu smiled while holding her son, Lu Renyi got up and took the child in her arms, and said, "Go and rest for a while, and leave the son to me." Qiuyu caught a glimpse of her second uncle and sister going to From their side, they blushed slightly and said in a low voice: "It's okay, didn't you have an appointment to talk to someone? Go quickly, don't drink too much, and come back earlier."

Lu Renyi hesitated, and Lu Yougui said, "Go ahead, what will happen to your daughter-in-law at her mother's house?" Then Lu Renyi sent his wife and son into the room, watched them fall asleep, and covered them up again. Quilt, just come out to say goodbye.

Chunying watched silently, then turned to Second Uncle Lu and said, "Second Uncle...Qing Ning is a good girl, you...you have to treat her well." Second Uncle Lu smiled: "That's natural."

Chunying didn't say anything anymore. Although my second uncle is a bit older, he has good looks and figure, good character and ability. If he follows the young master, he will probably be a big housekeeper in the future. It's not bad for him.Qing Ning... Judging from her usual behavior, she should be a prudent and polite person with relatively traditional concepts. Since her family members are very optimistic about this marriage, if she herself does not object, then... I should bless them.

Lu Yougui poured a cup of tea for his younger brother, and asked, "What's the matter? Isn't the mansion a bit uneasy now?" Chunying blinked, then turned to look at him: "Who is this father talking about?" She held out two fingers.

Lu Yougui didn't answer, but just looked at his younger brother. Uncle Lu took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "Young Master has persuaded me several times, but Master Hou refused to let go." Seeing his elder brother frown, he smiled and said, "Don't worry , that one did too much back then, and it is not so easy to make up for it! As for that matter, I think Lord Hou is willing, but he is just reluctant. Also, since the young master returned to the mansion, he has been raised in Hou How could Lord Hou be willing to separate the family after finally getting married and having a son by his side?"

Chunying heard something interesting: "Second Uncle means... the Eldest Young Master is going to separate from the family?!" She suddenly remembered that the Second Uncle wanted to introduce her father to the Eldest Young Master in order to redeem himself after the separation. Couldn't help feeling sad, sighed a few times, and said with a smile: "Then I really want to congratulate the second uncle, the young master is going out from the house, the second uncle must be the housekeeper, right?"

Second Uncle Lu sipped his tea with a smile: "Although I haven't said it clearly, it's probably like this. The house has already started to be built on the Gouwei alley, and I'll move there just waiting for Master Hou to nod." He also privately took a look at several places The shop, just waiting for the time to buy it for rent by himself, but this matter has not been confirmed yet, and he has no intention to say it.

Lu Yougui asked: "This is the start of work? If Master Hou refuses to nod all the time, what should we do?"

Second Uncle Lu smiled and said: "Sooner or later, I will agree. This matter has been settled a few years ago, but Master Hou is reluctant, so he has been procrastinating. Now that the third young master is about to marry a wife, it will be half a year soon." , three years later, the young master will always be separated." After a pause, he moved closer to them again, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the young master mentioned this matter again in front of Lord Hou, and Lord Hou thought about it for a long time. , and finally agreed to formally transfer the people that the young master usually used to under his name, and picked out a few other family members, and was about to ask Mr. Wang to go to the government to file. It's just that I can't do anything for the time being. Master Hou has agreed to this, doesn't it prove that the separation of the family is a certainty?!"

Lu Yougui nodded in satisfaction: "That's all. Second brother, since your future is fixed, brother has nothing to say, I just hope that you will have a bright future in the future, and you and your wife can live a good life. We are still a family, come back to see us when you have time, don't be like other people's families, we are all estranged."

"How can it be? Is my brother's love for me comparable to others..."

Chunying thought quietly at the side.She probably guessed the reason for Mr. Wang's "bad body", but the separation of the eldest and young masters meant that only the second and third young masters were left fighting in the Hou's mansion. As a maid, she , hiding by Miss Biao, it should be safe, but it is too tiring to live in fear all day long, it would be great if the second young master also separated...

With a move in her heart, she thought about it carefully, then raised her head and said, "Second Uncle, although Lord Hou called the family over, but if you don't separate the family, you can't feel at ease for a day. Second Uncle still persuades the young master more, and you must let Hou Master nodded and promised them to move out as soon as possible."

Uncle Lu was a little surprised: "Why?" Lu Yougui reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Chunying said with wide eyes, "Second Young Master is now favored by the old lady! He was rude to Miss Fan's family, and the old lady just sent a gift to Miss Fan to apologize, but did not punish him at all. Second Young Master! Everyone is saying in private that Second Young Master is about to get up again. If this is true, then he must deal with Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master first!"

Second Uncle Lu frowned, and Chunying hurriedly continued: "If the Second Young Master was still the same as before, I wouldn't mind my own business, but now he behaves like a rabbit in front of the old lady, and he behaves like a rabbit all day long. He looks like he is studying hard, even Lord Hou thinks he has grown up. If Enke really won the Jinshi this year, wouldn't he walk sideways in the Hou's mansion? Originally, the young master and he were both concubines, so they were not unaffected. He is angry, when he becomes an official, how can there be other people in his eyes? Even if the young master is angry with him, the old lady and Lord Hou will not blame him, right? "

Lu Yougui patted the table again: "The more you talk, the more absurd it becomes. The master's business has nothing to do with us!"

"Father! How could this have nothing to do with us?!" Chunying moved the stool closer, "Second Uncle is under the Eldest Young Master! If Eldest Young Master suffers, Second Uncle will not benefit! Another point, Second Young Master We are about to get married, and the bride is the youngest daughter of Grand Master Liang. My father and second uncle must know about the relationship between our Hou Mansion and Grand Master's mansion, right? Our new Second Young Mistress heard that she originally planned to enter the palace, but was forced The young master made a plan to make this marriage, do you think she will be happy? Will it really stop after entering the door in the future?!"

Second Uncle Lu suddenly became serious: "That's right! Our Eldest Young Master mentioned it occasionally, and also said that Second Young Master is confused, this kind of marriage can't be done, he just wanted to provoke others, but he didn't get married after so many years! It is said that Miss Liang is very powerful , what will happen in the future!"

Chunying added to the fire: "So, it's better to stay away from some things. I heard that the Liang family is not doing well now, and it might be unlucky in the future. If his family gets angry, they would rather pay for it." A daughter wants to drag our Marquis Mansion into the water and take revenge. All she needs to do is ask her daughter to sow discord in our house, provoke the three young masters to fight each other, or murder the third young master, and blame the eldest young master, etc. Killing the Eldest Young Master and then having the Second Young Master found out, wouldn't all the younger generation in the Hou Mansion suffer? That would be too unfair!"

Second Uncle Lu was stunned when he heard that, and Father Lu was so stared that his eyes almost fell off: "Where did you find out about this? Miss Qianjin from a rich family can't do this kind of thing." Bar?"

Chunying said: "As long as a person is ruthless, what can't be done? If the Liang family is smart enough, maybe they can let their daughter escape safely, and find a nunnery or something to lead her hair to practice, saying it is for so and so Pray for blessings, atone for sins, observe festivals, wait two years for things to calm down, take advantage of people's unpreparedness and go far away, change your name and surname in other places, and find a good family to marry, it is not impossible!"

When Chunying was in modern times, she watched a lot of TV novels, and this kind of bloody plot was easy to come by. As for whether that Miss Liang really has such brains and courage, that is another matter.

Second Uncle Lu just found it incredible: "If this new grandma can really do such a thing, I'd admire her." Lu Yougui glared at his daughter: "I still think you're messing around! Now it's Liang's family. Hurrying to marry my daughter, if his daughter really dares to make trouble in our mansion, it will be her natal family who are in trouble! Besides, if she remarries in another place, how can the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion come to the temple to observe festivals? Besides, his family has collapsed , where can I get a good way, household registration and so on? Her origin is unknown, and there are good people who are willing to marry her? Even a girl can't do it!"

Chunying quietly wiped off her sweat, and decided to hold back a little: "This is just an example! The second young master is a concubine. With that young lady's background, would she be willing to marry after marriage? I'm afraid that she and the second young master have the same idea. You want to grab the seat of the son. The second young master is not a heir and not the eldest son. If you want to be the son, you have to deal with the eldest and third young masters. Will the world be in chaos?" Coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Actually I just think that if the first young master separates from the family earlier, firstly, he will show his position, and neither the wife nor the second young master has any reason to deal with him anymore; Eldest young mistress and brother Kun can also live a more relaxed life; three years later..." She lowered her voice, "Eldest young master, as the eldest son of a concubine, moved out when he got married. Now that he has a wife, is there any reason to stay at home? If Master Hou can find him a vacancy in another place... Cough... As long as the third young master marries a wife and has children, the position of the son will be determined, and the second young master can only die Heart! The world will be peaceful."

Second Uncle Lu thought for a moment, then got up and took his hat: "Miss Chun's words are right, I'll go first, I'll find a chance to persuade the young master, it's better to get rid of those troubles earlier." Lu Yougui hurriedly ordered a few words , and asked Mother Lu to wrap some new clothes, shoes and socks for him, and personally sent his younger brother out, before turning back and glaring at his daughter: "You were all scared!"

Chunying shrank her head, and said with a smile: "I'm also afraid that my second uncle will be implicated...Father, I have something to tell you." She pulled her father over and asked in a low voice: "Second uncle is breaking up with the young master right now. Go out, Dad... do you have any ideas?"

"What's your idea? What else can I think? I'm under my wife's hands now, so I can't ask my wife to separate the family, can I?"

"That's not what I mean!" Chunying thought for a while, "I just want to ask, if... there is another family of officials... the master is very easy to get along with, if Lord Hou plans to send a few people there, and you may If you become a big steward or a decent steward... Do you want to go?"

Lu Yougui frowned in thought, Chunying held her breath and waited anxiously for his answer.
