Although there was such an inconvenience, the overall situation was relatively harmonious. The two families paid the money and left.
According to the previous regulations, a portion of the money handed in will be allocated to the public, and the rest will all belong to Lotus.
This time, Lianhua accepted it without refusing, because it was what she deserved. No matter how she declined, the adults in the family would let her accept it.
It just so happened that the family was about to start a new business, and Lotus planned to invest all the money so that he could get more of the dividends.
Leizi looked at it and was sincerely happy for her. He had still accomplished nothing, but Lianhua was already so good that he started to recruit apprentices, and this time the two came here because of their reputation, which shows that Lianhua’s Strength is recognized.
He must work harder, otherwise he will not be worthy of Lotus, whether in the eyes of outsiders or his own family.
On the way back, Liu Yuexiang was still distracted. The Lu family's talk about Lu Zilei's engagement to Lotus was still echoing in her mind. She always felt that this matter was too hasty. She simply could not accept such an outstanding person. A good lotus will marry and become a woman.
"What's going on with you, girl? Do you really have a crush on the young master of the Lu family?"
Mrs. Zhang became anxious when she saw her distracted look. If she really has that intention, she must change her mind. Her eldest brother is right. Their family is too high to reach others. Don't have unrealistic dreams, it's better to move forward steadily. Every step becomes more practical.
Before Liu Yuexiang could speak, she continued: "I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible. We cannot afford to offend the Lu family. You can either follow Miss Lianhua and learn how to do business, or Just go home and get married, and don’t cause any scandal. Your father and your uncle will not be able to save you by then.” I still have some say in the county seat, but in front of those big shots, I don't have enough power to carry people's shoes.
A person must be self-aware. Just now their attempt to be opportunistic about becoming a disciple was discovered, let alone other things.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Who likes the young master of the Lu family? Didn't you just say that I was just surprised that Lianhua was engaged to the young master of the Lu family at such a young age."
Liu Yuexiang came back to her senses and glanced at her mother with some disgust. Why didn't she think of anything else but a man?
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but glare at her daughter and said: "You are not too young at this age. It is really time to say kiss. What's so strange about this? What's more, the girl is so good. It’s normal for the Lu family to want to settle down early.”
PressLogically speaking, it was time for her daughter to get married. She had been thinking about that before, and she seemed to have fallen in love with the young master of the Li family. She came to her uncle's house for the Chinese New Year this year just to build a relationship and settle the marriage. Who would have thought that in just a few days, this damn girl would change her mind, and now she doesn't look down on Mr. Li at all.
If it wasn’t her biological child, she would have wanted to curse a few words in secret. Plus tonight’s incident, she thought she had fallen in love with Lu Zilei. She was really quick to fall in love with him. .
Liu Yuexiang didn’t know what her mother was thinking about her, and she answered the previous sentence seriously: “I just think it’s a pity for such a good woman like Lianhua to get engaged so early. Compared with the Lu family, There are many good people in the young master."
Mrs. Zhang no longer wanted to talk to her anymore. She felt that her daughter might not be very smart. She was nothing, and she was doing it for others. I'm so worried. Why didn't I notice so many things about her before?
"Don't worry about other people's affairs, just do your own thing."
County Magistrate Liu, who had been silent next to him, said, "My daughter, come here." He boarded the Lu family's boat, which was an unexpected surprise. He was very satisfied and hoped that his daughter would continue to work hard and establish a good relationship with the Lu family.
As for the other things, it’s best not to think about them, they can’t afford to offend them.
The cost of repairs is not cheap. His salary as county magistrate is far from enough. He still has to rely on other income from his family. This is a major investment.
He also wanted his daughter to come back from school and take good care of the family property so that she could make some money so that he, an official, would not be so stretched.
"I know daddy."
Liu Yuexiang did not dare to say that her target was Lu Xiaoyang, because her parents would definitely not agree, but she had her own ideas. She knows what she likes and wants, and she has to get it on her own.
Over at the Lu family, Leizi and Lianhua’s engagement date was indeed set too hastily. They wanted to wait for a while, but they thought that they would be separated on the eighth day of the lunar month. They would not be able to get together next time. I don’t know when it will be, so it’s better to do it in advance to avoid having to go back and forth later.
I invited the village chief’s wife to act as a matchmaker and went through the simple procedures. In the following time, the Lu family’s main house began to prepare betrothal gifts for Lianhua.
Although time was short, there were a lot of things that should be provided. It took sixty-four days to raise the betrothal gift, but it opened the eyes of everyone in the village. This was a big battle!
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Lu family had a grand party and invited the whole village to a banquet, including all the officials who had come to pay New Year's greetings before.
But this time they didn’t bring their own children. In the past, most of them were attracted to Leizi and Lianhua. Their hearts had just blossomed when they learned that these twoPeople are engaged, it hurts a lot, and they are not in the mood to do it.
This just suits the Lu family’s wishes. If those people don’t come, no one will cause trouble, and the happy event will go more smoothly.
It’s not that the Lu family is afraid of them, but they just don’t want to bring bad luck to Lianhua and Leizi on this happy day.
Today’s makeup for Lotus was done by He Jiuniang herself. Paired with a water-red coat and skirt, and set off by a set of pearl jewelry, Lotus looked delicate and charming.
"Oh, I just realized that the lotus flower has really grown into a big girl. Look, how beautiful it is!"
Today is the big day of the lotus flower. Mrs. Qin got up and combed her hair herself. Seeing how beautiful Lotus looked, Mrs. Qin's eyes were filled with tears.
Fortunately, Lianhua was engaged to Leizi, and no matter how she got married, she would always be in the Lu family, otherwise she would not know how she would cry.
Lianhua was quite shy at first, but when she saw Mrs. Qin like this, she couldn’t help but blush and said, "Sister-in-law, I will always be kind to you and respect you!"
"My sister-in-law doesn't want you to be filial. As long as you live a good life, my sister-in-law will be relieved."
Mrs. Qin was about to shed tears, and He Jiuniang hurriedly comforted: "This is the engagement. Save some tears and wait until you get married!"
One sentence successfully made the two of them laugh. Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and said: "Yes, yes, you can't shed tears on this big day. It's unlucky, the guests are all here, let's go out."
" Lianhua nodded and followed everyone out. As soon as she went out, she saw Leizi waiting outside wearing a formal robe. She saw Lianhua coming out. , the corners of his eyes were obviously filled with smiles.
"Hey, look how happy Leizi is!"
He Jiuniang has this problem. She wants to make a joke when she sees a young couple. The more shy they are, the more excited she is.
As expected, both of them blushed, making the adults burst into laughter.
"Don't be silly, Miss Liu's family is here, bringing a lot of gifts, come with me to have a look!"
Mrs. Sun saw that she was disrespectful to her elders. He gets angry just like that and pulls people over, regardless of whether they like it or not.
