Lu Yuanze has a very strong self-esteem.
Back then, he was secretly laughed at when he asked to marry the legitimate daughter of the Xu family.
Xu's family has reached the first rank, and his brothers are both good and bad, and they love their only daughter Xu Shiyun to the core. That is the real daughter-in-law of a high family.
As for the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, after the death of the old Marquis, the Hou Mansion became an empty shell.
Moreover, Lu Yuanze had a difficult time because he had poor health and had been a scholar since he was a child.
It is really wishful thinking to marry a daughter of the Xu family.
Who would have thought that Xu Shiyun was deceived by his good looks, and she really had to marry him.
After getting married, she accidentally learned of Lu Yuanze's embarrassment and low self-esteem when facing her father and brother. For the sake of Lu Yuanze's self-esteem, she cut off contact with her natal family.
At this moment, she is the third-grade Madam Gaoming, one step higher than Lu Yuanze.
Although there is no contrast between the official position and the imperial edict, she felt a secret joy in her heart.
"Yun Niang has a pure heart, is virtuous and generous, and Yun Niang deserves her royal life. But I am useless and cannot earn a royal life for Yun Niang." Lu Yuanze exhaled softly.
At that time, my father also applied for a royal title for my mother, but His Majesty refused.
Now, it felt like he had been slapped loudly.
Xu smiled and said nothing. If it were normal, she would have devalued herself to the dust again just to please him, right?
"My parents have been released from prison, and my eldest brother has been promoted. I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow." Ms. Xu said with a faint smile. She wanted to go home immediately.
Lu Yuanze hummed softly.
"It's time to come and congratulate you."
Daddy is going to be so angry that you can't steal the chicken but lose the rice. ]
[Give the Xu family a big opportunity to present themselves, they deserve it, they deserve it, a little bit...]The little guy kept complaining, which made the Xu family's depression dissipate a bit.
Not long after Xu returned home.
Lu Wanyi personally sent the stewardship power up.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back home. This...this housekeeping right is not something I fought for, it was forced upon me by my eldest brother." She explained at a loss, her eyes red as she muttered.
Mrs. Xu really loved her. Lu Wanyi was only two years old when she came in.
The old man was in poor health at the time, and the old lady waited all night.
Lu Wanyi slept in her room, and she had coaxed her up day by day.
"How could I blame you? We are as close as mother and daughter, and I don't know who you are?" Seeing that Lu Wan's hands were cold, she brought her a cup of tea to warm her up.
It is Lu Wanyi's favorite Longjing before the rain.
Lu Wan snorted angrily: "Brother blames my sister-in-law indiscriminately. I will settle the score with him later!"
"If he dares to bully you, I will not recognize him as my elder brother!" Her angry look made Xu feel warm in her heart.
In this Lu family, Lu Wanyi is probably the only one who is sincere to her, right?
"Brother, do you really have me in your heart?" Mr. Xu looked dazed for a moment and murmured unconsciously.
Lu Wanyi was startled, and then she pulled Xu affectionately.
"Sister-in-law, although my eldest brother is a bit of a fool, he is sincere to you. Back then, he knelt in front of Xu's house for three days and three nights before marrying his beloved daughter."
"Look at how many years he has been, there is not a single person around him. Everyone in the capital knows about his infatuation."
"If he does anything random, I will be the first one not to agree."
"I'm my sister-in-law's caring little cotton-padded jacket, and I'll give you the news. Don't let any of the little **** outside even think of coming in!" Lu Wanyi sneered and leaned on Mrs. Xu's shoulder affectionately.
Xu was very worried.
Lu Chaochao just woke up and started smashing his mouth.
[Little cotton-padded jacket, no! I am my mother's little cotton-padded jacket that never leaks! ]
[She leaks wind, she leaks wind! One month before my mother gave birth, she did not return to her old home at all. She went to serve the confinement child in the outer room. ] [No one can take the place of my little cotton-padded jacket! Humph... You bullied me because I can't speak. When I can speak, I'll call you a **** bastard! ]
Xu Shi held Lu Wanyi's hand and slowly stiffened.
Xu's fingertips trembled slightly.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Lu Wanyi smiled, looking envious.
The old lady was already old when she gave birth to her, so she was considered a daughter of old age.
Because the old lady is old, Mrs. Xu has always been the one to educate her. Xu devoted more efforts to her than his own children.
"Sister-in-law, what happened last time when I was the top scholar in a new subject..." Lu Wanyi's cheeks were pink and she was faintly shy.
Lu Wanyi bit her lower lip lightly. She is already nineteen this year and can no longer delay.
"Last time, my sister-in-law said that she would help Wan Yi to inquire about him." She was attracted by the new top scholar who was riding a horse through the streets, and she was moved by his appearance.
If you hadn't heard Lu Chaochao's thoughts, I'm afraid Xu would have already agreed.
But now…
Mrs. Xu touched the ends of her hair and said, "When I came in wearing a wedding dress, you just learned to walk, and you stumbled and rushed up to hug my legs, calling me mother."
"I can't forget this scene to this day. I love you more than any of my brothers."
Lu Wanyi frowned, as if he didn't dare to look into her eyes, and looked away slightly.
"I was young at that time and I made a joke. Fortunately, my sister-in-law treated me like my own daughter." Her etiquette was all taught by Xu.
Mrs. Xu looked at her deeply and said, "I will do a lot of good looks for you as the new top scholar, but after all, I am your sister-in-law. My mother has to make the decision about the marriage."
Lu Wanyi pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed.
In the past, Mrs. Xu had already taken care of all the good men in the capital, thoroughly checked their family background and character, and sent them to her for her to choose from.
The energy of the Xu family in Beijing can be seen.
If Mrs. Xu arranges the marriage, Lu Wanyi's marriage can be taken to a higher level.
But now, she pushed it to her mother.
My mother came from the countryside and I didn't have any handkerchiefs to hand over. What kind of good family could I find?
When Lu Wanyi left, Mrs. Xu's face suddenly darkened.
"Madam, didn't you say before that the old master's recent disciple is quite talented and you want to introduce him to Miss Wanyi?" Dengzhi just prepared gifts for tomorrow from the warehouse.
"Go and check whether she returned to her old house in Qingxi in February." Qingxi is three days away from the capital, and traces can always be found.
Deng Zhi paused for a moment, then responded immediately.
At dinner time, Lu Yuanxiao happened to come back from the academy.
My whole body was exhausted, as if all my strength had gone away.
"Mother, let me have dinner with you." Lu Yuanxiao forced a smile on his face. He tried to make up for his past studies, but his ideals were very full and the reality was very skinny. He had a hard time studying today.
"Brother Yuanxiao has become sensible." Dengzhi thought in his mind. With the Third Young Master accompanying him, his wife felt a little better.
"I don't know when your second brother will come back." Mrs. Xu sighed.
"Second brother is going out to study, and he will definitely be able to return home before the end of the year." Yuanxiao whispered.
After mother and son finished eating, Lu Yuanxiao said, "I'm going to see my sister." After saying that, he got into the cubicle.
"The relationship between brother and sister is very good." Dengzhi covered his mouth and said happily.
As soon as Xiao Chaochao raised his eyes, he saw the third brother who was wronged.
