The next day, Lin Weiwei entered the palace, and as expected, she shamelessly mentioned the marriage again.
Xie Mingxi chuckled and said: "Sister Lin, don't worry, in less than three months, there will definitely be a marriage decree coming to the Lu family."
A stone fell from Lin Weiwei's heart, and she laughed in a low voice: "I have told Brother You a long time ago that there is no need to worry. But every day the marriage is not decided, he becomes restless and always comes to harass my mother-in-law.
I want to marry you in the palace. Now that I have the confirmation, my ears will suffer less."
These words are quite interesting.
Xie Mingxi smiled and joked casually: "Go back and tell Brother You that you can study with peace of mind. If you don't get the first place in the examination in the future, there is no need to come to the palace to see me."
After Brother You won the first prize, he entered the Hanlin Academy. New scholars did not have much to do in the first year, and they mainly focused on studying. After one year, there will be an assessment. The quality of the assessment is directly related to their future future.
Lin Weiwei had great confidence in her son and responded with a smile: "The son-in-law chosen by the Queen must be a first-rate one."
Lao Wang sells melons, so he is boasting.
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile: "That's right. The daughter-in-law that Sister Lin has chosen is unique and unparalleled in the world."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
That night, Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong talked about A Luo's engagement.
As usual, Sheng Hong wanted to use the fact that Brother Lin and Brother Ting had not yet made an engagement to shirk the situation: "Young and old are in order, why should we wait for Brother Lin and Brother Ting to get engaged before it's Ah Luo's turn?"
Xie Mingxi smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "As my father-in-law, you've got it right. It's just that you have to get engaged first, and it's still too early to get married. What are you reluctant to give up?"
"Furthermore, if a pair of young children like each other and agree on their marriage as soon as possible, it will be easier for the two of them to communicate privately. It doesn't hurt to write a letter or send a gift, or to meet occasionally."
Just when Sheng Hong was about to curl his lips, Xie Mingxi said lightly: "Think about our past."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong couldn't find any reason to delay any longer, so he reluctantly relaxed: "That's all, in a few days, you can give me a decree to marry me."
Look at his expression, as if his heart has been cut.
Xie Mingxi was both angry and amused: "Okay, it's not like marrying off a daughter, but recruiting a son-in-law. The ones who really suffer and are reluctant to give up are Lu Chi and Sister Lin. The two of them only have one son."
This is true.
As a human being, you can't get too cheap and still behave well.
Sheng Hong also laughed. After thinking about it, he whispered: "Just wait and see! After Fengzhi grants the marriage, Old Fox Lu will soon turn around and support A Luo as the heir apparent."
The old fox Sheng Hong mentioned was none other than Brother You's great-grandfather and the chief minister of Da Qi, Mr. Lu Ge.
Lu Ge is always an old fox who has been practicing for many years. He is unwilling to express his position easily unless there are enough benefits.
A Luo and You Ge'er have officially decided to get married, and Mr. Lu Ge will definitely make some "expressions".
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled faintly: "It's a happy event for the Lu family, and for A'luo, it will be enough help in the court. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
Mr. Lu Ge has been the chief minister for many years and has many disciples and old relatives. Once Mr. Lu Ge changes his direction and supports A Luo, the direction of the court will also change accordingly.
…
Brother You waited eagerly for more than a month before Fengzhi came from the palace to confer marriage.
There is no need to describe in detail how Brother You was so happy.
The whole Lu family was in a state of excitement because of the decree granting marriage. The marriage was already certain, but it was only after the decree arrived at the Lu mansion that the dust settled. Everyone in the Lu family was completely relieved after having been hanging for several months.
.
Princess Duanrou is the only beloved daughter of the empress, and now that she has entered the court to take charge of politics, it is clear that the empress wants to establish Princess Duanrou as the heir apparent.
What an honor it is to be Princess Duanrou's consort.
There was an endless stream of guests who came to congratulate them, crossing the threshold of the Lu family. The Lu family was bustling for several days.
All the female members of the Lu family were busy greeting their relatives and friends. Lin Weiwei was busy for several days and her voice became hoarse. She drank some decoction for two days before she recovered slightly.
It's already June, the time of summer's scorching sun.
Lin Weiwei personally led Brother You into the palace to express his gratitude.
After the decree granting the marriage was issued, Sheng Hong, the father-in-law, finally stopped putting on airs and came to Jiaofang Palace to meet his future son-in-law.
Brother You didn't dare to show any slightness to the emperor and father-in-law, and bowed respectfully. He knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."
He kowtowed to Xie Mingxi three more times: "My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law."
Everyone: "..."
Even before they get married, they call themselves father-in-law and mother-in-law. Obviously only the shameless Chen Xiaobaoer can do this!
Is this still the introverted and calm Brother You?
Even Lin Weiwei was shocked by his son's behavior and quickly looked at Brother You.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi were both surprised and amused. They looked at each other and then Xie Mingxi opened her mouth and said with a smile: "There is no need to pay such a big gift. Get up quickly!"
Sheng Hong quickly answered: "When you and A Luo get married, it won't be too late to change your tune."
It was really awkward to be called father-in-law for the first time in my life.
The awkward father-in-law refused to agree.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law was not awkward at all and smiled very gently and kindly: "There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you call me."
Brother You felt relieved, blushed slightly and agreed, then stood up. He was thinking to himself, no wonder Chen Xiaobaoer had the shamelessness to call his father-in-law and mother-in-law all day long! How can he please his father-in-law and mother-in-law if he is thin-skinned?
As he stood up, Brother You quickly glanced at his slim fiancée.
A Luo also looked over quietly.
As soon as their four eyes touched in the air, they were stuck together like spider threads and could no longer be separated.
Today, Brother You specially wore a jade-green brocade robe, and he looked like a handsome man standing in the wind. A Luo also specially dressed up.
The unmarried couple both felt happy and happy. They felt like they had put the meat in their own bowls, feeling happy, at ease and at ease.
Xie Mingxi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Aluo, you and Brother You have already been engaged and are an unmarried couple. You don't have to be too formal. We are talking here, and you two can go talk in the garden."
A Luo and Brother You were both delighted and agreed in unison.
Sheng Hong twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally held back.
Xie Mingxi found it funny when she saw Sheng Hong's disgusted face towards his father-in-law. She glared at him.
I don’t want to think about how he had the shamelessness to go to Lianchi Academy to meet her after they got engaged. Now he just asked A Luo and Brother You to talk in the garden. In broad daylight, there were also female officials and maids accompanying them.
, there is nothing to worry about.
Sheng Hong had to restrain himself.
A Luo had no time to care about the emperor and empress's eyebrows and lawsuits, and happily went to visit the Imperial Garden with Brother You.
