"Cousin, don't you want to get married to the Lu family? Why are you so diligent in preparing for a visit to the Lu family?"
Liu Yuexiang pulled Zhang Lanxiang aside to whisper. Originally, she didn't want to go with him. She felt that the countryside was not a good place, but seeing that Zhang Lanxiang wanted to go there so much, she had no choice but to go along.
"Because the Lu family is a noble member of my family, it is appropriate to pay a visit. The Lu family does not accept heavy gifts, only some food and other things. It will appear more sincere if we do it ourselves."< br />
If it were Zhang Lanxiang in the past, she would definitely have the same thoughts as her cousin, but after having more contact with the Lu family, she still has a trace of respect in her heart, and He Jiuniang is still her benefactor. Then it’s even more important to pay a visit.
The reason why the Lu family is said to be the nobles of her family is also related to his father’s official position. His father has not made any significant contributions in this position for many years. Not only can he not be promoted, he may even be demoted. , but because when the Lu family came to the city, her father was not in trouble and even got along well with her. Lu Baichuan kept his father's position with this feeling in mind, and if nothing else goes wrong, he will be promoted next year.
It’s just that you can’t say this nonsense. It would not be a good thing if it was spread. Anyway, her family only knows about it.
Because of this, Liu Yuexiang couldn't understand it. She always felt that her uncle's family just wanted to lick the Lu family's stinky feet, and she became increasingly dissatisfied.
My cousin was not like this before, why does she seem to be a different person now?
"Cousin, why don't you stay at home with me? I don't want to go."
Liu Yuexiang took Zhang Lanxiang's arm and pouted coquettishly.
The countryside was full of dirt roads, and her new skirt was not allowed to get dirty. She was really resistant to it.
"That's not possible. If I were, although I don't want to get married to the Lu family, I also want to be friends with the juniors of the Lu family, so that I can go through the back door when buying things in the future!"
< br /> Zhang Lanxiang refused, and then said: "If you don't go, just stay at home. Even if you don't go, I can't go to other houses because everyone is going to the Lu family that day. By the way, the second young master of the Li family should also be there." Go, I heard that his family also intends to get married with the Lu family."
The second young master of the Li family, Li Rong, is Liu Yuexiang's sweetheart. He fell in her eyes when they went to pay New Year's greetings a few years ago, and since then unstoppable.
This is also the reason why Liu Yuexiang liked to come to Zhang Lanxiang’s house to celebrate the New Year in the next few years.
"What?"
Sure enough, Liu Yuexiang became anxious instantly. The Li family also wanted to marry the Lu family, and they specially brought Li Rong there. This meaning was already obvious. .
"Is there a girl of the right age in the Lu family?"
Liu Yuexiang stared at Zhang Lanxiang, her eyes full of eagerness.
Zhang Lanxiang nodded: "It's true. The niece of the second wife of the Lu family was gone when the family fled. Only that girl is left. Now she is in the name of the second wife of the Lu family. I have met her several times. It’s very beautiful.”
Zhang Lanxiang saw Lotus before when it was selling black ducks and feather clothes at a street stall. She thought Lotus was so beautiful that people would think about it after just one glance. The gentle beauty that needs to be approached makes people feel that being close to her is a very beautiful thing.
Zhang Lanxiang felt that if she were Li Rong, she would definitely choose Lotus, but she didn’t dare to tell her cousin this, for fear that she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
"Cousin! Are you my cousin anymore? How can you speak for outsiders?"
Liu Yuexiang was already very angry and glared at Zhang Lanxiang angrily, feeling that her cousin Stop kissing her.
Zhang Lanxiang wanted to say that she was telling the truth, but looking at her like that, she still held back.
"Okay, okay, if I don't tell you, will you go then?"
"Go! I won't let the Lu family succeed!"
Liu Yuexiang clenched her fists. Although she didn’t think that a country girl could see anywhere, but seeing what her cousin said, she definitely wouldn’t be too ugly. She still wanted to go and see it in person, and just stare at it. Her brother Rong won't let him mess around.
Zhang Lanxiang felt a little speechless. It was obviously the Li family who wanted to gain access to the Lu family, how could they say they would not let the Lu family succeed?
"Cousin, you can't act recklessly. My parents attach great importance to this visit to the Lu family. The third wife of the Lu family also treated me. I also want to be eligible to buy things through the back door. You You can't do bad things!"
Zhang Lanxiang knew a little about this cousin, and suddenly she didn't want to take her with her. If she wreaked havoc, then wouldn't it be in vain that her parents had worked so hard to prepare so many things? ?
Liu Yuexiang is a little aggrieved. In her cousin's mind, is she the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?
Although she was very dissatisfied with the Lu family, she also knew that he was a second-rank minister. If she really made someone anxious, she wouldn't even know whether her father's black gauze hat could be saved. She wouldn't be like this No brains.
"I know!"
She pouted unhappily and sat down at the stone table nearby. Zhang Lanxiang didn't know what to say to her, so she continued Went to the kitchen to help.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lu family gave out red envelopes to their children. Each child received the same amount, even the little one who was less than a month old. Lucky money.
Every child who comes to visit us for New Year greetings will also receive a red envelope, but the amount is not as large as that given to our own children.
My children also went out to pay New Year greetings and receive red envelopes, and they couldn’t stop laughing.
Of course, Lei Zi and Lian Hua felt that they were too old, so they didn’t go. It was quite interesting to watch the adults play horse hanging at home.
At first, everyone was discussing what name to give the newborn little guy. But before the decision was made, the topic got sidetracked and started talking about the guests that would be visiting tomorrow.
He Jiuniang said: "Tomorrow, the officials will come with their families. Their intentions are very obvious. Our three children of appropriate age may be in some danger."
Three Children of the right age: Leizi, Lianhua and Lu Xiaoyang.
Lu Xiaoyang is also raised in the Lu family now. Although he is only a nephew of the Lu family, he is also a biological nephew, and he still lives in the Lu family. The relationship must be unusual. Some people feel that he is incompetent. If you go to Leizi and Lianhua, you will set your sights on Lu Xiaoyang.
"Not only that, the younger ones can also be remembered by others, and they can arrange a baby to kiss, etc."
He Jiuniang said as she touched one Card.
Everyone:...
This topic became heavy in an instant, and I lost my mood to play cards.
The children in their family have to wait until they are eighteen years old before discussing these matters. It seems that it will take a few years.
However, Lu Xiaoyang is the oldest, already seventeen this year, and the probability of being chosen is still very high, which is very troublesome.
The three of them were also extremely stiff, fearing that their family would suddenly get engaged to them.
For a while, everyone looked at He Jiuniang, waiting for her to come up with an idea.
Especially Leizi, his eyes wanted to be glued to He Jiuniang, hoping that He Jiuniang could understand what he meant.
In his heart, he wanted to tell everyone that the person he liked was Lianhua, but he was afraid that saying it would make Lianhua unhappy, so he could only endure it.
