Chapter 123;
Oolong plan
But this time the matter is related to Lu Yaoyao, plus what the old man said at this time.
He couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, what our father said is right. You have indeed indulged them too much these years."
"If this continues, I'm afraid they will cause a huge disaster."
Seeing that his second brother, who had always stayed out of his own yard, spoke up, Lu Xiu immediately straightened his expression.
"It's my fault. I will discipline them well in the future and never let them cause trouble again."
"Grandpa, second uncle, please stop talking. I really don't take their words to heart. I've heard them a lot over the years and I've long been used to them."
She believed in her uncle's guarantee.
But she doesn't believe at all about the virtues of Zhang Chunlian and the others.
As the saying goes, it is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature.
As for their virtues, if you want them to restrain themselves or change for the better, they must encounter a big crisis of losing their lives, and maybe they will wake up with a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, don't count on it.
Of course, she didn't expect them to get better or anything.
After all, if this really gets better, how will she take care of this spring lotus?
Her words made Lu Xiu even more ashamed, while the old man, second uncle and two aunts beside him felt pity for her.
yes.
Although Lu Yaoyao's life is better now, he has a title and a mansion.
But what about when the Xu family was not defeated?
She is just a tool used by her father, so naturally she will not stop listening to gossip.
"Okay, let's all sit down and eat. Don't talk about those who affect your appetite."
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, everyone agreed and sat down.
After dinner, the atmosphere was not as good as yesterday, and everyone left without taking a seat.
Lu Mingxi never left.
"Cousin Yaoyao."
"My cousin wants to warn me to be careful with Zhang Chunlian and the others, right?"
Lu Yaoyao asked with a smile.
Seeing that she could see it, Lu Mingxi didn't hide it at all.
"Cousin, those mother and son are not good people. They are all evil-hearted. You must be careful."
Mentioning the picture of Chunlian, mother and son, Lu Mingxi's expression and tone were full of disgust, and there was even some hatred deep in his eyes.
This made Lu Yaoyao a little curious, although she had learned some things about the Lu family through the mouths of people who stayed in Jiangdong to protect the Lu family.
But I only have a general understanding, and the specifics are not very clear.
"My cousin seems to hate them? Have they done anything to hurt you?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingxi was silent for a moment, then quietly said, "My cousin should know that I'm engaged, right?"
"Well, my aunt said before, what's the matter?"
"Actually, I was tricked by Zhang Chunlian into this marriage."
"oh?"
Lu Yaoyao narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light appeared in his eyes.
"What's going on? Can you tell me in detail?"
Lu Mingxi's expression suddenly became much sadder.
"This isn't really a secret. Many people in Jiangdong know about it, so there's no harm in telling my cousin."
"You have been away from Jiangdong since you were a child, so you probably don't know much about our place."
"There is another family next door to our Lu family. Although they are not officials, their ancestors have also had high officials. They just fell into the middle of the road. It is also a scholarly family."
Lu Yaoyao listened quietly to Lu Mingxi's story.
The family name of the man who lives next door to the Lu family is Wu. Although he is not very wealthy, he is still from a scholarly family.
The two families have been neighbors for more than 20 years. The Wu family did not look down on the Lu family because they were merchants. Instead, they often communicated with each other. The relationship between the two families was quite good.
Among the younger generation of the Wu family, there is a brother named Wu Jun. He is a young talent and was awarded the title of Scholar at the age of thirteen.
Because the relationship between the two families is harmonious, the young people from the two families often move around.
Lu Mingxi and Wu Jun were childhood sweethearts. The elders of the Wu family were also very fond of Lu Mingxi and had some ideas.
I actually mentioned it to Lu Xiu in private.
Lu Xiu was naturally very happy and told Ms. Zhao, who was also very satisfied.
The two families were not slow in arriving, and soon Najib exchanged invitations and arranged the marriage.
"Isn't that great? Since he is a young talent, and the two families have known each other for many years, my cousin and he are also childhood sweethearts."
"Why do you want to make a plan?"
Although Lu Yaoyao knew that Lu Mingxi was engaged, she did not know who the man was.
My aunt and others didn't say much.
When she heard Lu Mingxi's words, she thought Wu Jun was quite good.
"Brother Jun is indeed very nice, but the person I am engaged to now is not him."
"What?"
Lu Yaoyao was a little confused.
"What the hell is going on? Haven't they already exchanged Geng Tie?"
Lu Mingxi smiled bitterly.
"We did exchange Geng Tie, but it was not my Geng Tie."
It turned out that Zhang Chunlian had been thinking about it since the news came out that the Wu family was interested in getting married.
Wu Jun is a young talent. He is now eighteen years old. Although he has not yet passed the imperial examination, his talent in Jiangdong is quite good. Although he is not guaranteed to win the imperial examination, his hope is very high.
Even in the future, if you are more lucky and more promising, you can become a Jinshi in high school and become an official in the court.
How could she not be tempted? Suddenly she thought of Lu Honglan, the girl she gave birth to.
He also hurriedly approached Lu Xiu and said that he wanted to find a good family for Lu Honglan.
The two sisters made reservations at almost the same time.
However, on the third day after the engagement, a piece of news spread around the town.
It is said that the scholar Wu Jun will soon marry the second daughter of the Lu family.
There was quite a commotion, but Mrs. Zhao was not happy about it. It was obviously her daughter who was engaged to Wu Jun, so why did everyone say it was Lu Honglan?
In the end, it was more natural. Zhao stood up and wanted to correct the rumors, but found that Geng's post was wrong.
She clearly gave her daughter Lu Mingxi's Geng Tie, but in the end the Geng Tie actually belonged to Lu Honglan.
Mrs. Zhao thought about the marriage contract again, but when she took it out and read it, she and the Wu family were dumbfounded.
What's more, it was a sure thing that both families would be happy on the day of the engagement, so the marriage certificate and other matters were all left to the people below to fiddle with, and they didn't even look at it.
As a result, the person clearly written on the marriage certificate turned out to be Lu Honglan.
Now the Zhao family and the Wu family no longer work.
But Zhang Chunlian had put so much thought into it, so how could she tolerate their displeasure?
He directly escalated the matter, and finally cried and begged Lu Xiu, saying that she was his daughter anyway, so what did it matter who she was?
He also said that the news had spread throughout the town and everyone knew about the incident.
If it really happened, how would Lu Honglan behave, and how would she find someone to marry her in the future?
Just when Lu Xiu was hesitating, someone else came to the door. It was the family Lu Xiu had chosen for Lu Honglan. They came to the door with the marriage certificate to Lu Mingxi.
