Qiu Yilan didn't bother to ask how the palace dealt with the incident. She asked in surprise: "How did this incident get reported to my grandfather?!"
"How could it be possible for Grandfather to know?" Jiang Yashuang shook his head, with a serious expression on his face, "It was Fourth Aunt who was so anxious that she fainted twice since last night. Now the Emperor and Empress are waiting in the Taishi Palace - the uncle and the third uncle. They were all so frightened that they called Bage from the Huainan Palace to come back and take over for me, and I immediately went to the palace with them to visit!"
"What did grandpa say?" Qiu Yilan asked hurriedly, "Grandpa has always been shrewd. Will Bago suddenly change your shift for you? Will it arouse grandpa's suspicion?"
Today's class is no better than usual: because Qiu Jinglan is not in the capital, and Qiu Yilan's relationship with the Xihe Palace is very bad, so on the second day of the first lunar month, a day when everyone in the world is at peace, she still spends it at her husband's house - like this Jiang Yashuang There was no need to accompany his wife to Yue's house to pay her respects, so he accepted the mission of accompanying Qin Guogong all day today.
Now Jiang Yadan, who was supposed to be at the Huainan Palace, suddenly went to replace someone. How could Duke Qin not suspect that something had happened
"Fortunately, today there is something about Lu He and the daughter of Sister Ninth looking at each other." Jiang Yashuang glanced at Lu He who was standing by his side with his hands down, and said to his wife first, "I told my grandfather about this, and I used this as an excuse. Something went wrong and needed to be dealt with, and it was said that Brother Batsu didn’t like the food in Huainan Prince’s Palace, so he came back early... Grandfather should not have any doubts yet! "
Fu told Lu He, "If you have any thoughts on this matter, just say it. This matter is life-long and cannot be ignored! You don't have to worry about anything, you know?!"
Lu He hurriedly said: "Yes!"
"Fourth aunt has always been in good health, how could she be so angry?" Leaving Mu Jin outside to greet Lu He, Qiu Yilan followed her husband into the inner room and asked in a low voice while changing him into the palace clothes. Even if I fainted once, I never expected that such a ridiculous and shameless thing would happen! If I fainted the second time, could there be some other secret that was discovered later?”
This Da Rui Palace is too chaotic...
Jiang Yashuang breathed out: "I don't know yet. Let's wait and see what's going on after entering the palace!"
He went to the palace to inquire about the news. Qiu Yilan, who was concerned about this, had no intention of talking around Lu He and asked directly: "What do you think of the girls from the Yi family?"
"Both young ladies are both talented and beautiful ladies." Lu He's original shyness, fear, and shyness were all disturbed by the sudden mention of Jiang Yashuang. Although his answer at this moment was still a bit uncomfortable. Comfortable, but also very refreshing - obviously he also realized that in the face of the news that Empress Dowager Jiang's health was in trouble, it was best not to test the patience of his wife-to-be, "I'm afraid that I have limited talents and a humble background, and it will be difficult to match!"
Although Qiu Yilan was thinking about Empress Dowager Jiang, she was not willing to dismiss Lu He hastily. After hearing the words, she thought about it: "The description of the impressions of the two girls of the Yi family is quite satisfactory, and I can't tell any likes or dislikes. It seems that even if there are The good impression is not very deep? He also said that it is difficult for him to match... Is this because he is afraid that the girl from the Yi family will look down on him because she is the niece of Shijiu, at least in name? "
I doubted, "Are the girls from the Yi family quite proud in Merlin? Otherwise, Lu He's temper is very well-behaved and sensible... But why didn't Zhu'er say this? Is it a misunderstanding?"
She pondered for a while and then said: "You heard what Nineteen just said. He came to the palace now under the guise of something going wrong with your affairs. So I thought about it and I have to aggrieve you. Your marriage is temporarily Let’s not mention it for now, and we’ll discuss it after a while, so that when the old man asks, it won’t be easy for the people below to answer, and it will appear that Nineteen is deliberately deceiving the old man. What do you think?”
Of course Lu He had no objection and meekly said that he would listen to her in everything.
"Go call Huizhu!" Qiu Yilan decided to ask Mei Linli carefully what happened.
After Jiang Huizhu was called over, she recalled the scene in Meilin word for word according to her request, but Qiu Yilan didn't find anything wrong. After thinking about it for a while, she asked: "You haven't left yet, have you?" "
"In the meantime, I saw Lu He and the two cousins Yi chatting happily, so my niece used the excuse to break a few plum blossoms and walked away for a while." Jiang Huizhu said in a panic, "My niece didn't do it on purpose!"
Qiu Yilan frowned: "Did something go wrong here?" It's just that Jiang Huizhu took his maid away when he went to fold plum blossoms. Now we want to know what Lu He said to the Yi sisters during this period, Just ask them.
"Well, if it's the Yi sisters who are wrong, Lu He is afraid that it's hard to speak out right now. After he officially becomes a disciple in two days and the relationship becomes closer, I will ask again. I think he will tell the truth by then!" When Qiu Yilan thought of this, she said to Jiang Huizhu warmly: "If you want to leave next time, remember to leave the maid behind."
"Yes!" Jiang Huizhu said timidly.
... After she resigned, she didn't stay in her room for long before she went to find Gu Wanna and worshiped her respectfully: "My aunt has a wonderful plan, Huizhu admires her very much!"
Gu Wanna helped her up with a smile and asked with concern: "How is it? Madam Nineteenth Young Master just called you over. Is it really to inquire about Merlin's affairs?"
"That's right!" Jiang Huizhu nodded, with a look of joy on his childish face, "Aunt Nineteen also asked me to describe the whole process... It must have been Lu He who declined the relationship with the cousin of the Yi family. Marriage, but refused to explain the reason, so Aunt Nineteen called Huizhu to go and find out the reason - everything was exactly as she expected! "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but asked curiously, "I wonder how my aunt can be sure that as long as Huizhu instigates the Yi sisters to be scornful after meeting Lu He, Lu He will definitely refuse the marriage? After all, once Yi comes The sisters are all beautiful and from good backgrounds; secondly, Lu He is just the son of a personal guard... "
"His mother is just a servant. How dare you, a serious Miss Sun of the Jiang family, to treat her as a subordinate?" Gu Weina glanced at her funny, "Especially because Lu He's father died for your grandfather. -Based on this, your father, Ninth Aunt, Sixteenth Uncle, Eighteenth Aunt and Nineteenth Uncle will not treat him badly! You forgot that your grandmother all treated him when he was brought back to the capital by Mu Zixuan! You take great care of me and treat me like a junior?”
At this point, Gu Grace sneered, "So why do the sisters of the Yi family look down on him?! Even if we don't talk about the friendship left over from his father's generation, just because he can catch your nineteenth uncle's eyes, this boy is definitely not simple!" Think about what kind of outstanding person your 19th uncle is. He is not a talented and malleable person, but he is willing to take time to give guidance despite his busy schedule."
"Not to mention that your Nineteenth Uncle plans to officially accept him as a disciple, and even takes over his life-long affairs. This is basically treating him as a half-disciple! Your Nineteenth Uncle's love and care, Lu He is not a fool, so he doesn’t know?”
Jiang Huizhu said nonchalantly: "But... But just because Uncle Nineteen is so kind to him, this time it is Aunt Ninth's daughter who shows his affection. How can he refuse? Isn't this coquettishness based on pampering?"
"You are such a petty person!" Gu Weina shook her head repeatedly, "First of all, your ninth aunt rarely goes back to her parents' home. She herself is not very familiar with your nineteenth uncle, let alone her daughter, so for your nineteenth uncle For one thing, Lu He is definitely more important than the two nieces of the Yi family. Lu He knows this very well, because the opportunity for this meeting is that your ninth uncle takes a fancy to Lu He first - if your nineteenth uncle values the Yi family more. , What else do you want Lu He to see? If you just ask him to get engaged, do you think Lu He dares to say no? "
"Secondly, although Lu He's background is much lower than that of the Yi sisters, he is still the closest confidant of their direct maternal grandfather! Just like you sisters don't hesitate to see Chang's mother and his mother. This is not just for Chang's mother and his mother. Mom’s face, and your grandmother’s face too! As I said before, even your father and uncles should give Lu He some respect, not to mention that the sisters of the Yi family are a generation younger and have a foreign surname. How dare you disrespect them? he?!"
"The third thing is that with the above two points, Lu He doesn't need to worry that his refusal of this marriage will make your 19th uncle unhappy. In this case, he expressed his true thoughts and it seems that he is not deceitful, right?"
Jiang Huizhu pondered: "But he clearly didn't tell the truth to Nineteenth Aunt, he just declined! He is so secretive, does he have to tell the Nineteenth Uncle the truth? Wouldn't this offend Aunt Nineteen?"
"What a silly boy. Why is he also your 19th uncle's quasi-eldest disciple? It's too cheap to directly tell the Yi sisters that they look down on him? Of course he insists that he is not worthy of the Yi sisters. Say it twice more. What do you think? Uncle Nineteen and Aunt Nineteen, can’t you hear what’s going on behind the scenes?”
"Auntie, you said that when Huizhu accompanied the Yi sisters to Meilin, he said a few provocative words. If Uncle Nineteen and Aunt Nineteen knew about it, would he be... angry?" Jiang Huizhu understood Lu He reaction, but became anxious again, twisting the handkerchief and asking Ai Ai for advice, "At that time, even if Auntie tries to get Uncle Nineteenth and Aunt Nineteenth to consider Huizhu... I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be willing to do it!"
Gu Weina asked calmly: "What did I teach you to say?"
"He praised Lu He's father so much that he compared him to the rest of the Yi family for generations!"
"Then it's not over?" Gu Weina sneered and said, "You have good intentions and want to raise Lu He's status, so that the Yi sisters should not underestimate them because Lu He's father is just a guard! As a result, Yi The sisters just don’t appreciate it, what can I do? It can only be said that they have no fate with Lu He!”
Although the Yi sisters rarely interacted with the Jiang family because of their mother, their grandfather and father were both high officials in the court, and they were usually quite pampered at home. Even if he is not arrogant, he is definitely not a submissive person - this kind of person may not despise a guard, but it is strange that he can continue to listen to the bragging about a guard!
Especially when Gu Wanna gave Jiang Huizhu some pointers, she deliberately asked her to memorize a few words that didn't sound important on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, they meant to belittle the Yi family and praise Lu He's father.
In this way, if the sisters are still not angry after hearing this, then Gu Grace will also admit defeat!
But looking at it now, it is obvious that these two sisters are not that smart. This is the first time they have visited their grandfather's house when they are so old. Jiang Huizhu is a cousin two years younger than them, so it is not easy for them to have such resentment. , can you not vent your anger on Lu He whom you will see later
As a child of the Zhenbei Army, Lu He was able to be where he is today. In the final analysis, it was his father who loyally protected his master and died in battle. Only then could he be treated differently by the fourth family member of the Jiang family, and only then could his talents be discovered and cultivated— It can be said that his father sacrificed his life for it. From Jiang Tianchi to Mrs. Zhuang and now Jiang Yashuang and his wife, they all regard him as a direct descendant - as long as he is still a human being, how can he allow others to underestimate his origin? !
Isn't being contemptuous of a person's origin the same as being contemptuous of his parents
Under such circumstances, it is strange that he can agree to marry the Yi family!
"After your aunt makes plans for you and arranges your engagement with Lu He, you have to win over him!" Gu Wanna said with a smile, "If nothing happens, your nineteenth uncle will love him as much as his son. The future of your twenty-two sister, I can leave it to you in advance!"
Jiang Huizhu said obediently: "What did my aunt say? Without my aunt's guidance, Huizhu really doesn't know what she will do in the future! If she ever gets ahead in the future, she will definitely not forget her kindness and do her best to take care of her twenty-two sisters!" "
