In Chang'an in March, there are few sunny days, the air is mixed with dull fog, and it seems that it is about to rain.
At noon, Lu Yan and Zhou Zuozuo returned to Jingzhao Mansion after the autopsy.
For a person with a severe cleanliness addiction, autopsy is indeed not an easy job. For example, he couldn't eat his lunch at noon today. He put his hands in the copper basin and rubbed them back and forth for a long time. Back in the hall.
After sitting down, Lu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, drank half a cup of cold tea, and prepared to re-transcribe today's confession.
The sun outside jumped from one window to another.
When I put the pen down, exhaustion came over me.
The sky was dark, the wind was rustling, and raindrops fell on the uneven stone road. Now is the time to disperse.
Lu Yan took off the black gauze hat, closed the file, got up, and walked out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion...
The carriage stopped beside the stone statue, and before bending over, Yang Zong spoke first, "Master."
Lu Yan frowned, "What's wrong?"
Yang Zong coughed lightly: "Just now, the eldest princess has sent someone to spread the word."
"What did you say?"
Yang Zong thought that he didn't want to spread the words, but Princess Nai He had ordered him to spread these words to the master without saying a word...
So he could only bite the bullet and said: "The eldest princess said, if you don't go back to the Duke's mansion today, then don't go back in this life."
Lu Yan is naturally aware of Princess Jing'an's dry wood temper. If he dares not to go back today, he will burn it to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow.
After thinking about it, he returned to the Duke's Mansion that night.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked into Suning Hall, he saw the figure of Princess Jing'an.
The eldest princess was sitting in the pavilion in front of his door drinking tea slowly, obviously, waiting for him.
Lu Yan took the oil-paper umbrella from Yang Zong, walked straight over, sat in front of Princess Jing'an, and called her mother.
Princess Jing'an's slender jade fingers slid back and forth on the edge of the cup, raised her lips and said quietly, "You still know how to come back."
Lu Yan's back was straight, and he said solemnly, "It's the son's unfilial piety that makes the mother worry."
The sound of the rain was rushing, and it crackled on the turning tile, and the wind all around was mixed with a chill.
"Ho!" The eldest princess chuckled, "I don't blame you, the top girl in Pingkangfang took your soul away. It's normal to not remember to be filial."
When the eldest princess was extremely angry, she always spoke like this with a gun and a stick.
Lu Yan knew in his heart that once he lived outside for a long time, the eldest princess would become suspicious sooner or later, so he recorded the girl Yunzhi in Pingkangfang in his name early in the morning.
Although others do not go, the money is not less. Yunzhi was happy and leisurely, and the prostitute was tight-lipped.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the eldest princess said again, "Is her name Yunzhi?"
As soon as the words fell, a smile appeared on Lu Yan's mouth. The tenderness exuding from the whole body, you can see at a glance that it is the appearance of sinking in the sensual Fendai Washer.
"Mother went to find her?" Lu Yan said.
Hearing this, the eldest princess clenched her fists, "Why, are you afraid that I will give her grievances?"
My own mother, I know best.
Lu Yan knew that no matter how angry the eldest princess was, she would not condescend to go to Pingkangfang, nor would she use the majesty of the eldest princess to embarrass a singer. Her anger was all on her own.
The eldest princess put the cup in her hand on the stone table and raised her voice: "Are you trying to connect her to the mansion?"
Lu Yan's tone was light: "My son never thought about it."
The eldest princess' face was a little ugly, and it could be seen that she was in a hurry.
Looking at each other, she took a deep breath and said, "Lu Shiyan, it's time for you to get married."
The surrounding rain was getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, the banana leaves in the yard were washed crooked.
The eldest princess looked into his eyes and continued: "Your grandmother fell ill when you went to Yangzhou, and when the fever persisted, she still dreamed about your name. The old lady is old, but she insists on fasting and reciting Buddha every day, except for hope As long as you are safe and sound, I hope you can get married as soon as possible."
Lu Yan didn't say a word, but his eyes moved to the spring grass that was being ravaged by wind and rain.
"General Mu was taken to Dali Temple yesterday, and the third prince was also grounded. Right now, the court is turbulent. It's better for your marriage to be settled earlier. You, Aye, mean the same thing. I think the girls of the Yun family and Wang family are Both are good, but which one you choose depends on what you want." The eldest princess paused and continued, "You should also be clear about your identity and your responsibilities."
In the marriage of the prince of Zhen Guogong, he does not seek a prominent family, but seeks like-minded people. This is another reason why the eldest princess would acquiesce to the Meng family's daughter to live in the Guogong's mansion.
Whether the Meng family daughter, the Yun family, or the Wang family, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are pure ministers.
To put it bluntly, Princess Jing'an asked for the same position of the two families - not participating in party disputes, and only loyal to the emperor.
Listening to his mother's words, Lu Yan's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously turned the wrench on his hand.
"Lu Shiyan, no matter how much you like people outside, it can only be like this. The Duke of Zhenguo will never allow you to bring back a singer, and I will not allow my daughter-in-law to suffer this grievance in vain. This humiliation, the Lu family is not such a family."
"From tomorrow onwards, you can go back to the residence, don't want to live out. Last time, about the Meng family's daughter, my mother didn't think carefully, and I didn't ask you about it before. Next month, the British lady-in-law will have a meeting. The polo match, I have already agreed for you, if you are busy and can't come, there will be another month."
The meaning of the eldest princess's words is very clear. It doesn't matter if you don't like the Meng family daughter. Is there a shortage of noble girls in the capital
Her aggressive tone seemed to tell him that this year, your marriage must be settled.
Lu Yan's expression did not change, but the hand on his lap was already full of blue veins.
This was not the first time he was forced to marry by his mother, but it was the time when the eldest princess had the most determined attitude.
But under his current situation, it is impossible to get married. He is married, what should she do
He saved Shen Zhen a few months ago because of those bizarre and real dreams, and his unprovoked heart disease. As for why he touched her, he recognized the inferiority of a man.
He admitted it generously.
At first, he just thought that when he found a way to cure his heart disease, he would send her back to Yangzhou, settle their siblings, and give her the property he bought in Yangzhou, and she would not follow him in vain. one.
He also doesn't feel indebted to her.
But now what
Lu Yanmen asked himself: Can we still send her elsewhere
Their identities have not changed, neither has she in Chengyuan, but he has changed.
When he decided to bring Bai Daonian to the East Palace to heal the prince, everything had changed. If the crown prince's illness is cured, and he is firmly seated in the Eastern Palace, then Yunyang Hou's imprisonment will not last two years at all.
He knows this better than anyone.
Lu Yan smiled casually, then poured a cup of hot tea for Princess Jing'an and handed it to her, "Mother calm down."
Princess Jing'an frowned and said word by word, "Lu Shiyan, do you think I'm joking with you?"
Lu Yan explained: "These few days, my son is staying out of the house, not in the lingering with Goulan."
The eldest princess retorted: "Why, you want to retort now?"
"My son is just afraid of my grandmother's worries." Lu Yan coughed deliberately before saying, "The evidence that the Mu family sells illicit salt and raises illicit soldiers was brought back by my son from Yangzhou. He was injured on the way back to Beijing. "
As soon as the voice fell, the cup in Princess Jing'an's hand fell to the ground. She knew that he wouldn't joke about such a thing.
"Where is it hurt?"
Princess Jing'an's eyes changed slightly, where did she still look like she was so angry
Lu Yan pointed behind him and said lightly, "It's all right now."
After hearing this, the eldest princess had no intention of talking about those things with him. She dragged Lu Yan back to the house, lit the lamp, and had to take a look at his wound.
The eldest princess looked at the two dazzling scars and immediately turned red, "How can this be called harmless?"
The timing was just right now, and Lu Yan looked back into the eyes of the eldest princess and said, "Jingzhao Mansion has been busy recently, so my son won't go to the Cuju competition, okay?"
The eldest princess stared at his dark and deep eyebrows.
Suddenly I felt that he was pitiful and hateful, the injury was real, and it was also real to use her sympathy. It really is what Princess Fu'an said - children are the debt of their parents.
The eldest princess often can't figure out why her son, who has been outstanding since childhood, never let her worry about it, suddenly changed his temper
