Lu Chen is handsome and capable. Her daughter is also fifteen years old. She will be hair-haired in five months, so it's time to talk to her husband's family.
Previously, she wanted to keep her daughter for a few more years, but if she didn't marry her after her hair was born, it would inevitably cause gossip. It would be okay to keep her daughter for two more years after she was married.
Then isn't Lu Chen a good candidate? What's there to be afraid of if she doesn't have an official position? She is a dignified princess, but she is worried that she won't be able to find a good job when she seeks an official position for her son-in-law?
Lu's influence in the court was not great, and Lu Chen's temperament was said to be good, so he did not insult the girls in her family.
Besides, her daughter doesn’t have to be the thankless wife of the clan. It’s better to marry a second or third son. In the future, she won’t have to bear the burden of the clan’s wife and will be free.
However, thinking that Lu Chen had a dead fiancée, the eldest princess hesitated again.
What if Lu Chen suppresses his wife? Wouldn't she have harmed her daughter? The eldest princess was extremely hesitant.
Mrs. Qu couldn't help but relax when she saw that the eldest princess was no longer holding on to her. The Marquis said that the Marquis must keep a low profile and not arouse the emperor's fear.
This is the same as making a fortune in silence. Everyone naturally understands the fate of those high-profile aristocratic families.
The current situation in the court is still unclear. The emperor is already old and his body is not as strong as before. The only solution for now is to wait until the crown prince is established, or even the new emperor ascends the throne, before the Lu family dares to take the throne.
Gu Chengyu's guess was indeed correct, and Lu Chen really hit the mark with every shot.
"All ten arrows hit, including one where three arrows were fired at once." Zhou Yuewei stepped forward and took a look, giving Lu Chen a meaningful look.
"You used to hide your clumsiness when competing with me, but now you are serious about it, but you like my mutton-fat jade chess piece? Or Master Gu's blood jade safety buckle?"
Qin Min actually didn't care whether he could win the first place or not. Although the mutton-fat jade chess piece was hard to come by, it was not a rare treasure, so he would naturally not be reluctant to part with it.
Of course he was hiding his clumsiness, and Lu Chen could not let Lu Chen find out his true and false intentions. The Lu family kept a low profile and bided their time. Lord Lu was a capable man, and Lu Chen was even more scheming, so he was quite wary of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm lucky today. I deserve all this wealth."
It won't be long before these people won't be so surprised, Lu Chen thought to himself now.
"You still value these? Who doesn't know that you have a lot of good things." Qin Min patted Lu Chen's shoulder and couldn't help but exert some strength.
Qin Min wanted to test it out, but Lu Chen's body didn't move at all. Qin Min couldn't help but darken his eyes. He had spent a lot of effort just now.
Gu Chengyu didn't care about this. Whether Lu Chen was a clumsy person or not had nothing to do with him. At least for now, they had nothing to do with each other.
The other two people behind them had no choice but to throw ten arrows at will, wondering if they could not match Lu Chen's skill. This was a perfect hit, and there were three arrows fired at once. Who could compare?
At the end of the pot throwing, the worst result was five arrows, and it was You Yinan. At this moment, everyone was heckled and fined with alcohol.
Lu Chen walked to the stone table, glanced at the blood jade safety buckle, picked up the two huanghuali wooden boxes on the table, opened them and took a look. Inside were the mutton-fat white jade chess pieces. After just one glance, he took them
Put it back on the table.
"Qingquan!" Lu Chen motioned to the boy he brought to take all these away.
"These things are also rare treasures. Lu would like to thank you all for your generosity." Lu Chen laughed and seemed to be in a very good mood.
At this point in the pot throwing process, Lu Chen and Qin Min Zhuyu were in front, and the others lost interest in throwing the pot.
"Your Highness! Your Highness has ordered that the cultural gathering has begun. Please take your seats." Suddenly, a young man came in and said to Qin Min.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. It was really the nature of a cultural gathering. While admiring flowers, he also recited poems and composed poems.
"Everyone, the seats have been set up in front, please take a seat."
This is the highlight of the flower viewing party, and those present will naturally not refuse it.
Gu Chengyu followed the others and walked forward, only to find that the place was empty just now, but now it was already filled with low bookcases.
Looking at the hanging flower door, it was already open. There was just a gauze curtain hanging above it. Gu Chengyu looked at it and saw that the curtain was looming. If he got closer, he might be able to see the person opposite clearly.
Looking at the table closest to the hanging flower door, it is not very close. It seems that there is still concern about the protection of men and women.
Slowly approaching the book desk, I heard the clear voice of the woman behind the hanging flower door.
Gu Chengyu touched his nose. Is this the biggest benefit today? He glanced around and found that these teenagers were really excited.
Okay! Except for girls and their own female relatives, it is probably difficult for these young people to see these women with similar family backgrounds. Unlike in the previous life, the streets were full of n-girls, so they naturally became excited.
Gu Chengyu wanted to find a seat casually, but Zhu Pang insisted on pulling him to the seat near the hanging flower door.
He had no choice. He came here today to find a way to see his fiancée. Zhu Pang was also helpless. He was still very concerned about the rumors that his fiancée had a pockmarked face.
"Master Gu, please sit down!"
Gu Chengyu didn't want to join in the fun, because those teenagers also wanted to sit in a few seats, so they couldn't grab them, right? Didn't that mean they had status?
Who would have thought that just as Gu Chengyu was about to pull Zhu Pang's hand away, he heard Qin Min's voice.
Gu Chengyu looked up and saw Qin Min sitting in the front row. He pointed to a seat next to him and said to Gu Chengyu with a smile.
Qin Min was a little curious about Gu Chengyu. The tea tax and salt quotation issues that Gu Chengyu raised earlier made all the aristocratic families in the capital take a high look at him. This is a talented young man with an unlimited future.
Of course he also wanted to make good friends with Gu Chengyu, after all, he had multiple connections, right?
Besides, Gu Chengyu's official position here is relatively high, so he can't let others sit in the back, right? Wouldn't that be rude?
Gu Chengyu could understand why Qin Min arranged this. After all, among these white men, he was a court official. How could Qin Min lose his etiquette?
Originally, he wanted to sit at the back, so that he would not be asked to stand up and give up his seat. But since the host had already invited him, he naturally could not refuse.
Gu Chengyu walked towards Qin Min's place. Seeing this, Zhu Pang quickly followed. He wanted to follow Gu Chengyu to the front and sit down.
In fact, there is no way this seat is not particular. Generally, people are arranged according to their family background. Those who are self-aware will sit according to the rules. But if there is such a shameless person, then you can't let them out, right?
After all, this is disgraceful, but people will naturally feel uncomfortable afterwards. Because they lose face, it’s just hard to say it in person!
Zheng Lun saw that Zhu Pang was following him, so he asked Shi Shiran to go ahead. His residence was the Dingnan Marquis's residence. Although his father was a concubine, he was still considered a descendant of an honorable family, and his status was not low.
Besides, there were not many children in the houses of other high-ranking officials, so Zheng Lun also ran to the front and sat down.
