When Lu Xiaoyang and Liu Yuexiang were engaged, they had some unpleasant experiences with Liu Yuexiang's relatives on her mother's side. Although the Lu family didn't say anything, they still deliberately alienated Liu Yuexiang's relatives on her mother's side. This was Liu Yuexiang's own idea.
After getting engaged, Liu Yuexiang did not worry about what her relatives would say. She followed Lu Xiaoyang directly to Jingzhou Fucheng to continue doing business. She also made it clear to her parents that she would reduce contact with those relatives, otherwise she would cause trouble. She won't care if a big disaster comes.
Her parents were both kind people, and they listened to advice, and they really didn’t have any contact with those relatives after that.
After hearing from Mrs. Sun that the situation was urgent, the two of them went out of the city to visit their parents without delay. They were going to Nantai and Xiteng for business. The journey was far away and things might not be easy to handle. , there are many tests waiting for them, and none of them will not be able to come back in two or three years.
Although they had been prepared for it for a long time, Liu Yuexiang and Zhang Lanxiang were still a little reluctant to hear such sudden news.
However, this is their opportunity to go out and see the world. They can’t just miss it, and they have to let it go even if they don’t want to.
The fathers of Liu Yuexiang and Zhang Lanxiang were magistrates of two counties respectively. Since they were going to say goodbye to their parents, they could not go together, so Zhang Lanxiang took a few people to protect herself and hurried back.
You won’t know until you return. After returning home, Zhang Lanxiang found out that her parents were heartbroken because she was going on a long trip. They had prepared various things, as well as servants and guards to accompany her. , Zhang Lanxiang was stunned for a moment.
Although she was shocked, she was also very moved. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how unreasonable and unreasonable she was, her parents loved her the most.
"Lan'er, although mother is reluctant to let you go, since you have made the decision, mother also supports you, and the fact that you can get so close to the Lu family is your own merit, and it also benefits your parents. Add light to your face. Just be sure to pay attention to safety when you go out, and try to hold back your temper. No one can pamper you as unconditionally as your parents do at home..."
That night , Zhang Lanxiang slept with her mother. The mother and daughter did not close their eyes for almost the whole night and talked for a long time.
In the past, Zhang Lanxiang would refute whatever her mother said, but not this time. No matter what her mother said, she would obediently comply.
However, when she went out early the next morning, she still did not bring the things and servants that her parents had carefully prepared. She said this: "Mom and Dad, I went out to do errands, not to play. Yes, Aunt Jiuniang said she will make unified arrangements for us, and she will definitely not treat us badly. Just rest assured. When my daughter goes out, she can earn more money and come back to support her parents in their old age!"
This It was the first time that Zhang Lanxiang said such considerate words. Magistrate Zhang and his wife were moved to tears and pulledZhang Lanxiang couldn't bear to let go.
County Magistrate Zhang wiped away his tears and said: "Daughter, you should write more letters to home when you are away from home. My father and mother will wait for you to come back. My father will be promoted soon. He will wait for you to come back. , maybe dad can also work as an official in the capital, and then our family can live in the capital. When you work hard, dad will work hard too."
"Yeah!" Zhang Lanxiang nodded heavily. , "Dad, you must be a good official, and let your brothers do the same. Don't make mistakes, don't take shortcuts. Let's work down-to-earth, and life will definitely get better and better."
It was quite good. The uncomfortable Magistrate Zhang felt happy and sad at the same time when he saw that his daughter was preaching to him instead. His daughter had grown up and could care about others, but she also had to leave their side and go out to make a living.
Although she went with Liu Yuexiang, Liu Yuexiang was engaged to Lu Xiaoyang, and there were more or less people taking care of her. They were the only stupid girls who had not yet realized what they were doing, and still did not understand the relationship between men and women. If you don't say kiss when you come back from a trip outside, you'll probably be an old girl.
However, they are not anxious anymore. If their daughter is so good, they will have to raise her for the rest of her life. When they grow old, they will let their sons raise this sister. She will not be bullied.
"Okay, okay! Go quickly, don't keep the second elder of the Lu family waiting."
Even if they are still very reluctant to leave, they don't dare to delay too much Time, when I came back last night, my daughter had already said that she had something to do in the capital, so she left in such a hurry.
Zhang Lanxiang hugged her parents, then rode away with only a few people who came with her.
"Alas!"
Mrs. Zhang sighed softly, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed: "Look, how long have you been away from us? How dare you I rode a horse and ran away. The Lu family is worthy of being a general. With their care, I feel relieved."
"Yes!"
Magistrate Zhang also responded. : "Fortunately, I didn't treat the Lu family badly. Otherwise, how could our family live like this?"
"So what my daughter just said is right, you must be a good official and work down-to-earth. , because of the relationship between our daughter and Yuexiang, our family is considered to be connected with the Lu family. As long as we behave accordingly and make no mistakes, no one will dare to cause trouble for our family."
< br />"What you said makes sense, madam. I will write a letter to the children now, asking them to be careful when serving as officials outside, and not to make mistakes that will harm my daughter."
Magistrate Zhang was instantly happy. He got up, took his wife's hand and went home.
When they arrived in Fucheng, Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun were also prepared early and had some simple food.West is on the road.
However, even though the Lu family had already rushed to the capital without delay, Qin Jian, who was dazzled by love, still felt that his days were like years.
He found a large group of craftsmen to repair his mansion and add items. He even rushed to ask Peng Yuan what she liked. He prepared it in advance. Peng Yuan said that she could do it, and Qin Jian But she was dissatisfied and insisted that she tell him something specific, otherwise she would stand outside her yard unwilling to go back.
It made Peng Yuan worried that he would find out that she was studying medicine and guess something, so she wrote a long list for him to prepare, and then gave up.
However, he did not dare to bother Peng Yuan, but he was much more shameless towards Lu Baichuan. He followed Lu Baichuan all day long and talked about how time passed slowly and why his godfather and godmother were not here yet. if.
Lu Baichuan was so annoyed that he wanted to cut off his robe and sever ties with him until he died.
At this time, Qin Jian looked aggrieved and said that Lu Baichuan had no conscience. People with parents naturally don’t understand how he feels when no one cares for a yellow cabbage in the field. .
Lu Baichuan: ...
The raised fist still failed to come down. He gritted his teeth and cursed.
And the Sun family and his party finally arrived at the capital as Qin Jian had hoped.
After receiving the reply, Qin Jian counted the days and went to the post house dozens of miles outside the city early to wait to greet him. The moment he saw the Lu family's carriage, he felt like A big dog that hadn't seen its owner for a long time jumped on it without risking its life.
