What Lu Song wanted to say was something that he had thought about for a long time and had already taken action on his own. He said to Lu Ping: "You are not young anymore. In the past, because of your hidden illness, your family has not been too big on your marriage."
Hope. Later you lost your face, and your father couldn’t do anything better for you. But now your face has healed, and although the hidden disease has not gone away, but... alas! Let’s put it this way! Now the Lu family only has
You have a child, so even if you have a hidden illness, you still have to think about your family. Your father has chosen a marriage for you, but it is just a prospect. As for whether you can succeed, you still have to work hard on your own.
.”
Lu Ping knew which marriage Lu Song was talking about, and she said calmly: "Father is joking, the initiative in this kind of matter should not be with us, right? I have a hidden illness, even if I am the daughter of Zuo Xiangfu, I am afraid that in the
I don’t have the final say in marriage matters, so what can I do no matter how hard I try?”
Lu Song waved his hand, "No, the young master of the Ren family is different from other men. My father has been observing him for a long time. That young general Ren is an upright man and not a man who is greedy for beauty. If you can get along, you can develop feelings for each other.
, he will definitely not mind your hidden illness. General Pingnan's Mansion is the solid force behind the Ninth Prince, and the daughter-in-law of that family is even on good terms with Princess Ji'an. Ping'er, if the matter between you and Little General Ren can come to fruition,
, and if we live in harmony after marriage, then our Lu family will no longer have to worry about not being accepted by the Ninth Prince."
Lu Ping looked at her father, then at her scheming aunt, and finally asked the question that had been in her mind for many years, "Does the Lu family raise daughters just to send them out one by one to help open doors for the family? Then we
What is it? Goods?”
Ge Shi snorted coldly and asked: "Tell me, which family's daughter is not like this? Including the current Princess Wuyang, why has the emperor never married her out even though she is already past her prime? I
Let me tell you, don’t think it’s really the emperor’s love. It’s all just talk. In fact, it’s not for sale. Just look at it, the person Princess Wuyang will marry in the end will definitely be useful to the fortune of the country.
, he can never be an ordinary young man."
After saying these words, Lu Ping was speechless and didn't know what to say. Because Mr. Ge was right, in Dashun, the daughters in all families are like this, whether they are direct descendants or concubines, as long as they are daughters, then
They are all tools used by the family in exchange for power and status. Those who are lucky will be loved by their husbands, but those who are unlucky will be blamed by their concubines after they get married. She doesn’t know what kind of person Ren Xitao is, but
But from the bottom of her heart she is very resistant to the Lu family's behavior. The last thing she wants in her life is to be controlled by her family, but she has been hiding here and there, even now, but still can't escape her fate?
Lu Ping stopped talking, nodding, or shaking her head. It was as if she didn't hear Lu Song's suggestion. She just sat there silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu Song glanced at her and only said: "Think about it for yourself. My father will try his best to create opportunities for you two. That kind of spice worth a hundred taels of silver and one penny should be put to use soon.
"
The New Year is approaching, and at General Pingnan's house, the servants around Ren Xitao go shopping from outside, and the things they buy are moved directly to Ren Xitao's yard, most of which are medicinal materials.
Ren Xifeng came to talk to her brother about something. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the smell of medicine. Looking again, she saw a table full of packaged medicinal materials. There were many exquisite things among them. She had seen them before.
Pills sold exclusively by Baicaotang. She was puzzled, "What is brother doing? Reselling medicinal materials? Brother is short of money?"
Ren Xitao waved his hand, "Don't say there is no shortage, even if there is a shortage, you won't be able to make much money from selling these. My dear sister, you came just in time, my brother has something to ask you." He pushed Ren Xifeng to sit on the chair.
Next, he also sat across from him, and then said: "These medicinal materials are prepared for Mr. Lu. Although I, the military attache, did not have much contact with him above the court, after all, the last time I met him on the street, it was considered
Fate, he is not in good health and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I always want to go and see him. In addition to sending these medicinal materials, what else do you think I should give? As the Chinese New Year is approaching, just deliver medicine to people’s homes.
, I’m afraid it’s not good either?” Ren Xitao looked serious and was very cautious about this matter.
But when Ren Xifeng heard this, she exploded. She pointed at her brother and glared: "Are you crazy? What kind of gift can you give to the Lu family for no reason? Even if we met last time, he owed us a favor.
, if you want to give a gift, he should deliver it to General Pingnan's Mansion, what do you mean by going to catch up?"
"Prime Minister Lu came to give it to you last time, so this time... I'll consider it as a return gift!" He found a reason for himself.
But Ren Xifeng also had something to say to block him: "The gift is for my father, and if I want to return it, it will be my father who returns it, so don't get involved."
"No, no, I've prepared everything."
"Then give it to father and ask him to bring it with you." The more Ren Xifeng looked at the table of medicines, the angrier she became. She rolled her eyes at Ren Xitao and said, "Brother, don't think I don't know you."
What are you thinking about? Look at Lu Song? That’s an excuse, right? Look at Lu Ping.”
Ren Xitao blushed because she said this, but he is a real person and an honest person. Since his sister told him the truth, he did not deny it. Instead, he nodded happily, and then said: "Indeed, for that
I am indeed a little curious about the eldest lady of the Lu family, including what my sister said last time that her face had been ruined. I have never asked about the affairs of the capital, and I probably have no impression of these ladies and ladies, but
Thinking about it later, it seems that this is indeed the case. Miss Lu Ping fell into the water to save the eldest wife of the Yao family and was bitten by water bugs. But the last time I saw her, her face
It is indeed intact, which also aroused my interest."
Ren Xifeng's face was particularly ugly. When her brother mentioned Lu Ping, she could always detect a strange look in his eyes. She was familiar with that look. She thought Feng Yuheng had the same look when he mentioned the Ninth Prince.
Ren Xifeng felt a little panicked. She grabbed her brother and said seriously: "Stop your curiosity. No matter whether the young lady of the Lu family is good or bad, it is impossible for you and her. Although the Lu family now is different from the past.
It seems to be different, but there is no righteous family tradition in Zuo Xiang's mansion. Didn't you listen to what his father said? The reason why Lu Song changed his position in the court was entirely to find a good way out for his family. He changed his position.
Limelight has a clear purpose, unlike us, who have the same intention from beginning to end. If you don’t believe it, just watch, the Lu family is doing this now. Once they get on this boat, they will have good profits in the future.
, the Lu family will definitely not be just the Lu family now, and one day their true colors will be revealed."
"Is my sister being too conspiratorial?" Ren Xitao frowned, "Why do you make things so complicated when it comes to you? Besides, Lu Song is Lu Song and Lu Ping is Lu Ping. They are different."
"They are father and daughter! Why are they different?"
"My sister has never been in contact with the eldest lady of the Lu family, has she?" Ren Xitao directly pointed out, "You are just judging based on what the Lu family has done in the past. I think that is unfair and arbitrary." Ren Xitao tried to convince his family.
Sister, "Brother has never asked you for anything. Just help me with this one thing. At least don't stop me and let me get to know the eldest lady of the Lu family, okay?"
"Brother, are you really affectionate?" Ren Xifeng didn't understand, "You have only been in contact with me once."
ren
, but I also admit that I have never been so curious about a woman. If you want to say it is because of her outstanding appearance, then I also admit it, but more importantly, I feel that there are many things in that young lady’s heart that are not known to outsiders.
You know, including the face you mentioned, and the strange fragrance on her body. I just can’t figure out why the dignified Miss Zuo Xiangfu uses that low-quality spice? And it’s so strong? "
The more Ren Xitao talked, the more he felt that his curiosity about Lu Ping was too serious. Ren Xifeng saw that this brother might never be able to get him back. In addition to being frightened, he also thought of the purpose of coming here today. She raised the corners of her lips.
, said with a smile: "It's not convenient for my sister to talk too much about my brother's personal affairs. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I'm going to go to Ji'an County. I'll spend the New Year there. First, I'll see the lotus, and second, I'll appreciate it."
Jian County was reborn under the governance of Aheng. I had already told my father, and he nodded, but he was afraid that I would be in danger on the way, so he asked my brother to send me all the way there. We might as well spend the New Year there.
never mind."
Ren Xitao had no objection to this. He had always been very protective of his biological sister. He was really worried if Ren Xifeng was allowed to go alone in a place as far away as Ji'an County. So he quickly nodded: "Okay, brother will accompany you."
Go, when should we hit the road? It’s almost the Chinese New Year, so we have to go early. Why don’t I go to Zuo Xiang’s Mansion tomorrow and hit the road the day after tomorrow!”
"The date has been set." Ren Xifeng stood up and said, "We will set off together tomorrow. Father agreed. My brother is also going to prepare. Bring more clothes and choose an entourage to follow!" After saying that, he turned around and left without staying any longer.
.
Ren Xitao was stunned when he heard this. He will leave early tomorrow morning? But he has to go to Zuo Xiangfu tomorrow? How about going today? But there are still some things that he has not bought today. Besides, it is getting late, so it is definitely not appropriate to come at this time.
. I couldn’t help but get entangled again...
Ren Xifeng really wanted to go to Ji'an County, for no other reason than to go out for a walk. The atmosphere in the capital made her feel depressed. Thinking that her good sister Bai Furong was living well there, she also went to take a look. Ordinarily,
General Pingnan was unwilling to let his children spend the New Year outside during the New Year, but when Ren Xifeng mentioned this matter to General Pingnan, he actually agreed. Ren Xifeng later thought about the reason why his father agreed so much
Simply put, it is probably because of the situation between North Korea and China. Under such a situation, there is no telling when chaos will break out in Beijing. New Year is always a special day. If chaos breaks out at this time, it is best for them to hide out.
Only then did I feel the pain.
At the moment, she doesn't care about her father's considerations. She just needs to take her brother away quickly. She must not let Ren Xitao be lost in the Miss Lu family. Lu Ping looks like that, which always makes people feel uneasy.
At that time, in the palace, Emperor Tianwu summoned Concubine Yuan Shu for several days in his old age. Zhang Yuan was so frightened that he arranged for the imperial doctor to wait outside Zhaohe Hall every night...
