Mrs. Lu agreed, and Qingrong was also called into the inner room. She thought that the wife of the military commander would be domineering and tall, but when she saw Mrs. Lu, she was a little surprised. She was neither tall nor short, and had a slight stature.
Showing wealth and honor, having a round and kind face, he looks at himself with a smile.
Qingrong stepped forward to salute and called out politely.
After all, Mrs. Lu was satisfied and said with a smile: "Your Highness really praises my boy. Wouldn't it be easier for him to have such a good girl?" Then he said to Sanniang, "Sanniang seems to have read a lot of poems and books."
Man, my Shiro seems to be a reckless man, I’m afraid he’s not good enough for you.”
The Queen smiled and said: "Madam, you are joking. Who knows that in the previous battle with Tubo, Xue Silang led his men to victory successively and helped the Ye army, but he is a rare person who is brave and good at fighting."
The queen looked at Qingrong again, the smile in her eyes not diminishing, "As for Sanniang, although her family is not as good as that of Si Lang, she is virtuous, quiet, knowledgeable, and sensible. What's more, she is attracted to Si Lang. I think they are a perfect match, so I want to marry him today."
What do you think, Madam, of being in charge of their marriage?"
Qingrong lowered her head and remained silent, waiting for Mrs. Lu's reaction. But unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu didn't show any signs of difficulty, so she followed the Queen's words and said, "Your Highness has a keen eye for knowing people. Your Highness
It's all agreed upon, so of course it can't be wrong, I would like to thank His Highness on behalf of Quanzi."
The queen looked at Mr. Lu and nodded with satisfaction, smiled, and then looked at Qingrong, "That's very good, very good."
The fact that the marriage was decided so quickly was beyond Qingrong's expectation. Now her family members don't know about it. If they knew about it, they don't know how to worry. Qingrong has been hiding aside, listening to the queen
After exchanging pleasantries with Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu withdrew after a while.
The queen looked at Qingrong. Qingrong felt that according to her original statement, after Mrs. Lu agreed to the matter, she should look ecstatic now, so she had to say "Queen" with a happy face.
Thank you.
The Queen stared at her lowered head and chuckled: "No need to be formal, you have seen Mrs. Lu's attitude. Besides, it is not only my willingness to accomplish this, but also the saint's intention. I think you are lucky, now
Don’t you have to worry?”
Qingrong smiled shyly and said: "Yes, Qingrong thanked the saint and thanked His Highness. Everything will be arranged by His Highness."
The queen smiled and said: "Well, now that the matter has been decided, you can go down first. As for when to leave the palace, it depends on the wish of the wise concubine."
Qingrong bowed in agreement and exited in a dignified manner.
It had been half a day since Mrs. Lu returned to her house. Mrs. Lu came to Xue Shao's yard, but she saw no servants. Only Ah Cheng was in the house. She asked, "Where is Si Lang?"
Ah Cheng said: "In the study room."
"Study?" Mrs. Lu was surprised and murmured: "This is strange. I have never seen him take the initiative to go to the study at home before, but today the sun is rising to the west."
Ah Cheng's thoughts don't end with today. These days, the general has been staying in his study as if he were a grown man, staying there all morning, and no servants are allowed to come in and disturb him.
Lu thought for a while, but still didn't believe it: "I'll take a look."
Mrs. Lu led the maid to the door of the study. She opened the door and walked straight in. She didn't see anyone reading in front of the desk at all. She only saw a man lying on a soft couch sleeping soundly with a hand in his hand.
I don’t know who the scroll is trying to fool. Sitting next to the couch, Madam Lu stretched out her hand to wake Xue Shao up. She couldn’t help but laugh: "Do you know what time it is? Are you still asleep here?"
"I woke up when my mother was outside the door just now." Xue Shao slowly opened his eyes and said that he was alert even when sleeping. When he heard the sound outside the door, he knew it was Mrs. Lu who was coming.
"Hey, I also read the Nam Hua Sutra. I thought you were working hard these days, but it turns out you were hiding here and sleeping in."
Xue Shao was quite helpless. He originally wanted to read a book, but when he saw these densely packed words, his eyelids became heavy and he couldn't read. He didn't know how Qingrong could read those books...
He stood up and sat upright. He was taller than Mr. Lu, and he looked very oppressive.
Mrs. Lu looked up and down, wondering if such a delicate young lady and her youngest son could survive... "Humph, you can sit still." Mrs. Lu glanced at him, as if she was just here to convey a message, "
I can tell you that I came to the palace today because of important matters for you."
Xue Shao frowned when he heard this, what was he doing?
Mrs. Lu deliberately said: "Today, the queen specially pointed out a marriage for you, and she actually pointed out the daughter of a civil servant's family. But I see that this person is good, but he is not a good match for you."
Marriage? "You agreed?" Seeing that Mrs. Lu didn't speak, Xue Shao frowned even more tightly and said in a deep voice: "Since it's not suitable for me, what else will I agree to do?"
Mrs. Lu said: "Huh, you put it lightly. Her Highness the Queen is so eloquent that she can take the trouble to propose marriage to you. How can you not accept it? Besides, what I said is not a good match. It is you who are not worthy of her."
Although Xue Shao was not angry at this sentence, he was just really unhappy. He was not an object, so why was he arranged to be with someone for no reason! Marrying a wife and having children were all decided by others, so what the hell!
He wants to marry, but no one cares!
Mrs. Lu was still chattering: "The secretary, the third wife of the Lu family, may be well-born and polite, but I think her eyesight is bad, and she actually fell in love with you, a martial artist."
Who? Lu Sanniang? Xue Shao stood up suddenly and stared at Lu, with surprise in his eyes, "It's her!"
"Who is she? Is it possible that you still know her? Let me tell you, this time it is not your grandpa and I who have the final say. You must have some sense of measure. Since Her Royal Highness the Queen has offered you a marriage, you can accept it with peace of mind.
After all, you got a huge advantage in this marriage. Although the other party is not a princess, she can’t be like the eldest son of your third uncle’s family..."
Seeing that Xue Shao looked lost and confused, Lu was about to persuade her that family should always be the first priority in this matter of marriage. Unexpectedly, Xue Shao started to giggle to himself again.
He paced back and forth in front of him, opened his mouth several times, and wanted to say something, but still nothing came out.
This appearance frightened Mrs. Lu. She quickly grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong? Don't scare me. Are you going crazy after hearing the news?"
Crazy? Xue Shao shook his head, that's not true. At most, he was so happy! "Auntie, are you telling the truth?"
Mrs. Lu slapped him with dissatisfaction and said, "Are you really stupid? How dare I say this to deceive you! Even if you are unwilling, you don't have to scare me like this."
"Who said I was unwilling!"
Lu Shi asked curiously: "You mean you agree? OK, OK, OK, you finally know how to let your grandpa and I save some time."
After she finished talking, Xue Shao also recovered from the surprise, but he was a little unsure, "Then... what about her? Is she willing?" Can she be willing? Obviously last time, she was still with him
They broke up on bad terms, he couldn't believe it.
"How do I know this?" Mrs. Lu thought for a while and replied, "Although this is the queen's intention, I heard that Lu Sanniang has taken a fancy to you."
These words surprised Xue Shao more than the news of the marriage just now. He also wanted to be happy about it. But he was not stupid after all. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew that this was just her words. If it was true, how could he
Don't you have any feeling at all?
Lu said earnestly: "Although your grandfather did not make the decision on this matter, he must have agreed. The emperor and the empress are of the same mind. Since the empress is determined to grant a marriage to the Xue family, no matter who the candidate is, the marriage is a certainty. It is not this Lu Sanniang, but also
There is Li Sanniang...If that's the case, why don't you accept the Queen's wishes? Besides, this marriage is never a matter of one person, how can you be willful?"
Xue Shao nodded and said in a deep voice: "My son understands." With this result, he was already overjoyed. How could he have any other dissatisfaction?
At this time, he was surprised and happy, and he was obviously still outside the situation. He asked blankly: "Mom, when are you going to arrange this wedding?"
Qingrong's marriage was settled, and Liu Yuniang was very happy and rewarded Qingrong with a lot of gold and silver silk and satin. After the Lu family got the news the next day, the queen also specially summoned the Wang family to the palace to talk about the matter, and Qingrong followed Wang.
They left the palace and went home together.
On the carriage leaving the palace, both mother and daughter seemed a little silent.
Comparing the previous Xu family and the events in the palace in the past few days, it is supposed to be a good thing to be able to decide on the Xue family. But Wang could not help but worry that the other party was a military general, both civil and military, and his rules were different.
, not to mention, the gap in family status... During this Western Expedition, the saint appointed Xue Mingding as the general manager of the march. This family is naturally glorious. But it stands to reason that such a family should not be interested in the daughter of a civil servant, let alone
It is said that Lu Wenzhong is only a fifth-grade civil servant, and he does not have an important position. Many things in the future will be beyond the reach of Lu Wenzhong and the Wang family. I am afraid that Qingrong will be wronged in the future.
But if he disagrees with the marriage, who can afford to take the risk? Lu Wenzhong was silent and sighed repeatedly after hearing about this.
Seeing that Qingrong's face was in a daze, Wang saw that it was mother and daughter who had a heart-to-heart relationship. How could she not pity Qingrong's current mood? She took Qingrong's hand and persuaded: "Most of the time, this person can't make his own decisions. Marry high."
Although it can't fulfill everyone's wishes, it still has its advantages. Where can there be so many perfect things in this world? It's better to keep an open mind."
Qingrong nodded and said softly: "My daughter knows."
Although Qingrong is more mature in mind, she has not lived that long after all. There are some truths that I still have to say to her, "It's just that when you encounter something, either this part is not good, or that part is defective."
.This life is not just a matter of saying that you are happy and you are willing to do it. Just like the needlework of this female worker, it is just tinkering and patching up this end. If you don't look at it more openly and struggle with everything, naturally you won't be able to do it.
happy."
Although this marriage was not Qingrong's original intention and was beyond her expectation, she could think of it now after listening to Wang's words. Yes, she said with a smile: "What Aniang said makes sense, but in fact it is nothing more than this."
, if it’s really not good, you have to find a way to make it up yourself. If you don’t like this or that from the beginning, and you’re afraid everything won’t work out, then let’s just make peace with it.”
Mrs. Wang nodded in response and smiled reassuringly, "That's the truth. You can understand it, and I feel relieved."
Although Siniang is young, she is still worried about her sister being unwilling to do so, but she also knows that there are some things that she cannot have the final say on her own. Fortunately, she still has some good news that she can tell Qingrong, and
So that Qingrong can be at ease.
After dinner, he hurriedly took Qingrong to the room to talk. Qingrong learned that the misunderstanding between Siniang and Princess Ming had been cleared up, and there should be nothing serious now.
When Qingrong heard this, she couldn't help but be curious. She looked at her and said, "Oh? Who helped you? Can you speak in front of the princess?"
