"How can I not be worried?" The queen frowned, and said softly: "The princess is like this, and the prince probably won't be able to calm down. When he comes back from his ancestral home, who knows what kind of moths will come out... I am patient. Not much more, don't want to wait any longer..."
Aunt Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her hands subconsciously.
Knowing that Rongjun Prince's Mansion and Liao's Mansion got married, and the third girl Liao Yuanyuan from Liao's Mansion was engaged, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being happy on her behalf, and came to congratulate Princess Qinglan specially: she finally got her wish.
The marriage of the first four sisters in the family is also approaching, and the family is busy with various preparations now! Although the Zhong family was not a wealthy family, it was the first time for the Lu family to marry a daughter, so it had to be done more grandly.
So not to mention that Mao and Mu Qing were busy all the time, even Lu Xiaoshu was dragged to help a lot.
Thinking that everyone around him has a place to go, and the future of himself and Zhou Shizhi is unknown, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. After thinking about it, I laughed again: I just need to keep the same and cope with all changes, and I have to pay attention to so many things! They don't care about outsiders, but neither she nor Zhou Shizhi will let the other go, that's enough!
Lu Yihui's dowry was seriously prepared, and the Mao family used the best for everything, so the account would naturally go through the public account. Lu Wenxuan and Mu Qing had a lot of private houses, and they didn't look down on them, and Lu Yihui was a lovely person. It hurts so much, it's okay to pay her more. So I didn't say a single word in the first half. Mao's heart was secretly happy, and she felt a little closer to Mu Qing.
When Lu Xiaoshu saw it, he laughed to himself: This third aunt, she is so obvious, she is not afraid of people talking about it at all!
But such a person is simple-minded, which is actually a good thing.
On the auspicious day of November 26th, the Zhong family's sedan chair came to the door, and Lu Yihui was carried out gracefully. One hundred and twenty sets of dowries were draped with red silk and red flowers, and they followed behind mightily, attracting countless people to watch, and the big girls and the young daughter-in-law were envious.
Zhou Shizhi also mingled with the crowd to watch the fun, so naturally he was by Lu Xiaoshu's side. Seeing this, I couldn't help being jealous, so I whispered to Lu Xiaoshu with a small smile: "When we get married, it must be more lively than this! Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you, okay?"
Lu Xiaoshu chuckled, and said with a soft chuckle, "You mean—do you want to prepare a dowry for me? Do you want to marry a wife or a daughter?"
Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Of course it is to marry a wife! Why not if I prepare a dowry for you? As long as you like it!"
Lu Xiaoshu glanced at him, but his heart was very happy and warm. She knew he would do anything for her.
However, maybe in the future, the two of them will only end up wandering around the world incognito. As for the wedding or something, it's better not to expect too much, in case of disappointment, it will be too uncomfortable.
Besides, she didn't want him to feel too guilty.
Although the third prince asked someone to bring her a message, please rest assured that he will not make things difficult for her. But Lu Xiaoshu felt that the queen was not such a good person to get along with. How could she let go of her marriage so easily
"Actually, as long as we are together, it doesn't matter if you want something in this form or not!" Lu Xiaoxia pretended not to care and said with a smile, tilted his head to think for a while, and then smiled: "However, the honeymoon is a must. Oh, it can’t be saved!”
"Honeymoon?" Zhou Shizhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What kind of weird saying is that?"
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said with a smile: "That's right, after we get married, take me out to play, the world is far and wide, we can go wherever it's fun! We'll go home after we've had enough fun!"
Zhou Shizhi's eyes flickered, and he used his wide sleeves to hide from the crowd, gently took her hand, squeezed it slightly, and said softly, "As long as you want, you can play anywhere!"
Why didn't he hear what she meant? She was worried, worried that one day in the future it would be impossible to have such a day, and she didn't want to make him feel guilty at that time! Zhou Shizhi felt a little sad in his heart. He originally thought that as long as the family's grievances were vindicated, his mission would be completed. For the rest of the day, he would live for himself, but who knew, it was such a simple matter. My wish is not so easy to come true!
It seems that he has nothing to do with the good things in this world! It is so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.
"That's what you said! Don't go back on your word when the time comes!" Lu Xiaoshu blinked and smiled sweetly.
Zhou Shizhi also smiled, feeling warm in his heart.
Three days later, Lu Yihui returned home accompanied by Zhong Yulou. Mrs. Mao saw her daughter's face was radiant, and the red jacket embroidered with rich and noble peonies reflected a small face as white as jade, full of shy joy, which was different from when she was at home before. , knowing that she was living a happy life, she finally let go of her heart completely. Mu Qing and the others were also happy on behalf of Lu Yihui. Thinking of their own daughter, they couldn't help but feel a headache again.
When Lu Xiaoshu saw his mother looking at her in such a way, he knew what she wanted to say, so he hurriedly found an excuse to escape, and he did not see what he saw.
At the end of November, Zhou Shizhi suddenly received a letter from the prince asking him to go to the old capital immediately.
Originally, the prince was supposed to leave the old capital to return to Beijing in mid-November, but unfortunately, he caught a cold in the local area and became seriously ill, so he had to stay in the local area to recover from his illness before setting off.
When the news came back, the empress, the princess and the concubine were all in a hurry, and the person who sent the message hurriedly questioned him carefully, and then sent an effective imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to the old capital to treat the prince with various medicinal materials.
The prince hadn't been to the old capital for many years, and the climate there was colder than the capital, and he was somewhat depressed, so it was not uncommon for him to fall ill.
When Emperor Xiangqing saw the empress, the princess and so on, especially when some of the words of the princess fell into his ears, he became even more annoyed: the princess is blaming him! Blame him for being a cruel father! But she didn't think about it first, what good thing did that rebellious son do! Isn't it right to punish him
In Emperor Xiangqing's heart, the crown prince became farther and farther away.
Zhou Shizhi was slightly confused when he was summoned by the prince. He couldn't guess what the prince wanted to do, but one thing was clear: he should not be sick! He is not a doctor, could it be that he sent him to treat his illness
After thinking about it, he still decided to go there.
Not for anything else, just because he had promised the prince that he would help him within a certain range. If he wanted to see him, he had no reason to refuse.
As for where to go, it depends on the situation.
If his order is too difficult for others, he will naturally have a way to evade it, and it will not be what he wants anyway.
After thinking about it, Zhou Shizhi called Du Zhong and Xue Heng, and told them everything in the capital, and then went to see Lu Xiaoshu, and said that he had something to do and needed to leave the capital for a while, as for what to do, he Could not bear her worry, and did not tell her.
But he handed her a letter, explaining the cause and effect of this trip in detail in his heart.
Zhou Shizhi told Lu Xiaoshu: If she hasn't come back after the Chinese New Year, then ask her to hand over this letter to Du Zhong and Xue Heng, and ask them to open it.
If he came back before then, he would come to her to get the letter back.
Although he felt that Prince Yi's IQ could not threaten him to do anything, he had to be prepared for everything, right? What if one neglects his ways? It will be too late to regret it later!
When he was talking to Lu Xiaoshu, although his tone was light, with a smile on his face and a relaxed expression of indifference, Lu Xiaoshu still sensed something unusual, and couldn't help but open his eyes and looked at her nervously: " Where are you going? What are you going to do?"
Zhou Shizhi sighed inwardly: She is really too sensitive, I didn't expect that I could cover it up so carelessly, but I still couldn't cover it up.
"I just went out of Beijing to do some small things. I can't tell you yet! Don't worry, I will be back soon! The reason why I told you so is just in case I can't get away for a while. Many things in the capital need to be dealt with manually, if I can’t come back, this letter is to explain how Uncle Du and Uncle Xue should deal with it!”
Zhou Shizhi had no choice but to explain it patiently.
"Really—it's just like this?" Lu Xiaoshu was dubious.
There was nothing wrong with Zhou Shizhi, but it was just too right, that's why she felt something was wrong.
"Of course! Or else you would think so!" Zhou Shizhi laughed amusedly, and said with a gentle smile, "Wait for me well, and bring you a gift when I come back!"
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "It's as if I'm asking you for a gift just to ask for a question! I'm so boring!"
Zhou Shizhi laughed loudly, chatted a few words with her, and finally said that she reluctantly believed in him, so he went.
A few days after Zhou Shizhi left, Lin Fang suddenly went to Beijing again.
This time he didn't visit Lu Zhong's house, but ran into Lu Xiaoshu in the teahouse.
Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed to see him, stepped forward and said with a smile, "When did you come to Beijing? Why didn't I know? Don't tell me! My brother and you haven't seen each other for a long time!"
As Lu Xiaoshu said, he was going to take him to the home of his adoptive parents.
Lin Fang, however, seemed a little dazed, forced a smile when he saw her, and only said a few perfunctory gossips, and then he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she was going to drag her to Lu's house, she hurriedly said with a smile: "Well, it's New Year's Eve, their house is so busy! Let's forget it, forget it! It's not too late for me to visit again later..."
Lu Xiaoshu laughed disapprovingly, "They are all from the village, and they used to come and go frequently. When did you become so polite? What else!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being a little annoyed when he mentioned it. He stared at him and said, "I haven't asked you yet. Last time you came to Beijing, why didn't you say hello to me when you returned? I originally wanted to give you a gift!"
