Although Mrs. Lu tried her best to save it, the two families broke up after seeing each other this time. In front of the gate of Anguo Temple, watching the carriage of Duke Wei’s mansion go away, Mrs. Lu was not very worried. Which granddaughter to marry in the end must be given time to the Guo family to consider and discuss, even if the last one is not caught, the marriage is in trouble, but the grandson has done nothing wrong, and Guo Boyan will not be able to express his anger on the grandson.
"Grandma, the Guo family, will you agree?" Lu Zhen looked at the carriage reluctantly, with the bright smiling faces of the three girls in front of him.
The old lady Lu looked at her tall and burly grandson, and smiled: "I don't know what Mrs. Tai thinks, but the three girls seem to be interested in you." Li Guang is a famous general and hero who has passed through the ages.
When Lu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
In the carriage of Duke Wei's mansion, it was silent, only the sound of hooves and the rumble of wheels could be heard.
Song Jianing sat on the side chair to the right of Mrs. Tai, sitting dignifiedly, with a pair of fair and delicate hands folded on her lap, her head bowed slightly, her thick and slender eyelashes covered her moist and clear almond eyes. She lowered her eyes and saw that although Yunfang did not speak, she moved her little feet from time to time, clutching the handkerchief repeatedly, as if she was uneasy.
Song Jianing retracted her gaze, she couldn't raise her energy to guess Yunfang's thoughts at this time, she only knew that she and Lu Zhen were destined to not be husband and wife. Perhaps Lu Zhen abandoned her to save Yunfang because he had mistaken the person, but after the matter was clarified, Lu Zhen said that he liked Yunfang, and admitted that he didn't like her.
His eyes became blurred again, Song Jianing turned his head, raised a curtain and pretended to look at the scenery outside. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but the sourness in her heart surged up like a tide. Her mother praised her as the most attractive girl in the world. Song Jianing knew that she was not that good, but she also knew that she was good-looking. She never expected that honest men who were satisfied with her everywhere would look down on her.
Is it because of her face, or because of her background
The autumn light was shining brightly, but Song Jianing couldn't see any light. Wherever his eyes fell, it was gray.
Yunfang saw the fourth sister secretly wipe her tears. Lu Zhen was the good son-in-law chosen by the uncle for the fourth sister. Lu Zhen didn't like the fourth sister, and the fourth sister must be very sad. She felt sorry for the fourth sister, and worried that her eldest uncle would marry Lu Zhen because the fourth sister opposed her, but what was wrong with Lu Zhen? You can't force him to marry a girl he doesn't like.
Recalling Lu Zhen's anxious and worried expression when he hugged her in the water, Yun Fang lowered her head and rubbed her handkerchief irritably.
One suffering and one worry, Mrs. Tai quietly observed the two granddaughters, her heart was very heavy, a Lu Zhen was nothing, but the relationship between the two sisters would probably never return to the original. Jia Ning has a sensitive mind. When she entered the mansion at the age of ten, she had a cowardly temperament. It took a long time to correct her. This is good. Even if her granddaughter is still a dignified lady on the face, I am afraid she will always remember in her heart that she was raped by a man. despise this. As for the third granddaughter Yunfang…
Mrs. Tai rubbed her forehead, thinking about it for the time being.
The carriage returned to the government office.
When Lin received the news, she nervously led her son to greet her. When she arrived at the front yard, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with her daughter. She changed her clothes, her face was pale and not a trace of blood was seen, and she refused to look at her with her eyes down. Lin's heart was lifted all of a sudden, and just as she was about to ask, Mrs. Tai said tiredly, "Take An An back to the room first, Boyan is back, you two go to see me together."
After he finished speaking, he led Yun Fang away.
As soon as the two left, Song Jianing threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry, sobbing. Lin Shi was startled, she didn't react yet, when Brother Mao saw her sister crying, he also cried out, the little boy hugged her sister's leg, scared because her sister was crying.
Song Jianing was frightened by her brother. She was so scared that she held back her tears. She squatted down to coax her brother. Knowing that it was inappropriate to speak outside, she picked up her brother and quickly entered the house with her mother. As soon as she entered the Huanyue Residence, Song Jianing sat on her lap with her ignorant younger brother in her arms. Then she buried herself on her mother's shoulder and choked about what happened in the temple: "...Mother, he doesn't like me..."
Lin Shi secretly gritted his teeth.
She knew that her daughter's crying was not because of her deep feelings for Lu Zhen, who was one-on-one. That's why the Lin family hated it even more, hating that Lu Zhen didn't know how to hurt her daughter, and even turned her anger on Yun Fang.
Mrs. Tai took Yunfang with her. She felt it was inappropriate, but she was confident that her daughter's appearance and temperament were not inferior to Yunfang's. In addition, Mrs. Tai agreed, she didn't say anything. Who would have wanted to look at Lu Zhen, who is a perfect match for her daughter , actually like a girl like Yun Fang
"An'an, don't cry, listen to my mother, this is a good thing, Lu Zhen sees your third sister, which means that he doesn't get along with you, without your third sister, there will be other girls who will hook him in the future, now see him clearly in advance. Now, let's not want him, mother will choose a more suitable one for you... What's the use of a man's strength, he is so stupid that even a girl who looks at him can admit his mistakes, and he has the same head as an elm, so he's not worthy of our An An at all."
Kissing her daughter's head, Lin's big and small hugged together, and kept comforting her softly.
Song Jianing sobbed and nodded.
After finally coaxing her daughter to fall asleep, looking at her son who was sleeping next to her sister, the Lin sisters and brothers gently touched their heads and asked Shuang'er to take care of them, and she went to the main room. Qiuyue was just called out by the little maid, and when she came back, she saw Madam sitting on the throne with a sullen face, Qiuyue pulled the veil, walked over in small steps, and whispered, "Madam, the Lu family has sent someone to the third room to propose a kiss..."
When speaking, Qiuyue looked at the lady nervously, and then saw the lady who was usually beautiful and elegant like a fairy, and snorted for the first time, with a hint of anger in her eyes. Qiuyue is not afraid of Madam, but, after carefully pondering this matter today, Qiuyue said hesitantly, "Madam, Young Master Lu has embraced three girls in public, and Master Lu's official title is not as good as that of our Duke's Mansion. They are proposing marriage now to please the Three Households..."
Lin looked up at her.
Qiuyue pursed her lips and said tentatively, "Madam, the Lu family is seeking to marry the Fourth Young Lady, this matter is unknown to the outside world..."
"Who doesn't know?" Lin shi interrupted her maid in a cold voice and sneered: "Those maids of the Lu family, Mrs. Deng, who was entrusted by the old lady Lu to inquire about our words, and the servants up and down the imperial palace. , who don't know? They didn't dare to say it in front of us, it was spread behind our backs, if the third lady agreed to the Lu family's proposal, she would stomp my daughter's face on the ground."
Qiuyue was as silent as a cicada when she landed, not daring to make up her mind again.
Caiwei said worriedly: "Then what should we do?"
Lin looked out the door. She had a solution, but she had to see what Guo Boyan planned to do first. One was his own niece and the other was a stepdaughter who had no blood relationship. If Guo Boyan was partial to the third room...
Lin Shi didn't want to think Guo Boyan badly, but what she should prepare should be prepared. When Song Jianing woke up, Lin asked her daughter to take her brother to the daughter's courtyard, and then she lay on the bed alone. Guo Boyan had actually received a letter from the steward, but he couldn't leave if he had something to do. As soon as the business was settled, he went back to the house ahead of time, stepped into the inner room with a sullen face, and before he saw his wife, he heard a whimper from the account. sobs.
Guo Boyan's face was even more ugly, and he knew that his wife was going to cry 80% of the time.
Sitting on the bed, Guo Boyan directly hugged his wife, who was crying with her head down, into his arms.
"Master Guo, the Lu family is too deceiving..." Lin Shi lay on his chest, sobbing.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet." Guo Boyan clenched Lin's shoulder and said coldly. Lin shi raised her head with tears in her eyes, and before she could see the figure clearly, Guo Boyan had already put her down, without changing her official uniform, and went directly to Changxin Courtyard.
The third master Guo and the third lady arrived early here, and Guo Xiao was also there, waiting for Guo Boyan with the wife.
"Big brother is back." Seeing the eldest brother with a livid face, the third master Guo, who had passed his 30th year, trembled boldly and said bravely.
Guo Boyan ignored him, turned and sat on the side of Mrs. Tai, his sharp eyes fell directly on his son: "I asked you to escort my sister, is that how you escort?"
Guo Xiao immediately knelt down, bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Please punish my father."
Guo Boyan was expressionless: "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for an hour."
"Yes." Guo Xiao left without saying a word.
Mrs. Tai glanced at her grandson and said nothing.
Guo Boyan then asked his younger brother: "The Lu family wants to marry Yunfang, what do you say?"
The third master Guo was intimidated. Although the third lady was afraid of the majesty of the uncle, she also knew that the uncle would not speak harshly to her, so she walked to Mrs. Tai, looked at Guo Boyan and said, "Brother, Lu Zhen is your choice for Jia Ning. My son-in-law, this matter today is all a misunderstanding, if you want me to say, let Jia Ning continue to negotiate with him."
How can her good daughter marry a stupid man who has no brute force? Her daughter was young and ignorant, and she was easily moved when she was rescued and hugged, but she was not confused. With so many famous disciples waiting, she couldn't look down on a mere town of Lu. As for the reputation, her daughter accidentally fell into the water. Lu Zhen ignored Song Jianing and saved her daughter. It can only show that her daughter is good, and it will not affect anything if it is spread out.
Guo Boyan heard that his younger brother and sister did not intend to marry his niece to Lu Zhen, and his expression softened slightly, and said, "Lu Zhen is stupid, he is not worthy of any girl in the Guo family, since his younger brother and sister don't like him, he will directly reject him, and later the Lu family will refuse. Anyone who comes will be turned away."
Mrs. Tai nodded slowly.
The third lady was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Jianing doesn't allow him anymore? Then, what reason do we use to reject the Lu family?"
Lu Zhen asked to marry her daughter, but she refused. Lu Zhen and Song Jianing became one. That was Song Jianing's resignation, and her daughter had no reputation to lose. But Lu Zhen and Song Jianing didn't make it, and if the matter was spread out, if the explanation was unclear, the daughter might become the culprit in ruining the marriage, and even if the daughter fell into the water, it would be maliciously misinterpreted.
Guo Boyan said lightly: "He admits the wrong person, which is disrespectful to the Guo family girl, enough to refuse marriage."
The third lady is anxious: "The thing that can fall into the water..."
"Falling into the water is purely an accident, even if there are some gossips, younger siblings don't have to take it to heart." After saying this, Guo Boyan ignored the third lady, and directly instructed his younger brother: "Yunfang's temperament is free. When she grows up, continuing to indulge will only hurt her. Before the Ministry of Works Minister Huang Huang asked to marry Yunfang for his eldest son, I have seen Huang Zhensheng. Fang's heart."
"Okay, I also think that Zhensheng is a good child." Third Master Guo echoed in a low voice.
The third lady is unwilling. Lord Huang is famous for being an official official, and he is only clean. He is also in charge of the east and west. Many officials in the capital find him unpleasant, and his daughter is married, and he is not happy inside and outside. She wanted to argue with reason, but Guo Boyan didn't bother to talk to a woman, and helped Mrs. Tai to go inside.
Third Master Guo wisely dragged his wife away, fearing that his wife would offend his brother, so he covered his mouth.
When the couple returned to the third room to quarrel, Manager Qian next to Guo Boyan went to the Lu house in person, and reprimanded Lu Zhen on behalf of the grandfather in front of Mrs. Lu, and finally said: "The grandfather said , the failure of the marriage means that the second son has no relationship with the fourth girl. He does not see the second son as his son-in-law, but as long as the second son will make meritorious deeds in the future, the state master will not bury the second son because of today's events. I hope that the second son will be diligent and conscientious, and will not fail the painstaking efforts of the grandfather of the country."
Lu Zhen looked sluggish, can't he marry the third girl
Mrs. Lu's face was ashen. Guo Boyan said it nicely, but he was actually threatening them. If the two parties failed to discuss marriage, one of them must have made a mistake. Can Guo Boyan be willing to let his girl get dirty? It is clear that her grandson is to take the blame. If the Lu family dares to argue, the grandson's career can only be stopped by a small guard.
But who made Guo Boyan powerful, or the head official of Sun Tzu
The old lady Lu could only force a smile and agree, and then sent someone to pay attention to the rumors in the capital. After two days, she finally heard the sound, but she did not add fuel to it. It was only rumored that Guo and Lu were discussing marriage, and the two girls were arrested by the boatman. The son accidentally crashed into the water, and the grandson rescued the wrong person in a panic and fell into a complete "stupid".
What is the difference between a man and a woman being slandered as "ugly"
Madam Lu was stunned, and she hadn't eaten well for several days.
Lu Zhen didn't care about being scolded for being stupid, but after a month, he heard that the third girl of the Guo family had engaged with the Huang family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Lu Zhen couldn't eat well either. But he was not the only one who was saddened to marry another beauty. Liang Shao, a small cross-court in the Duke Wei's mansion, who heard the "good news" from his servant, clenched the book in his hand unknowingly.
