Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 68

Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 68

What?
The Zhou family was about to come to the house to propose marriage!
These days, she was so annoyed by the Second Prince's affairs that she forgot about such an important matter.
Lu Mingyu was annoyed and frowned: "Why so fast!"
Butler Lu Jia was also a little surprised: "Miss knows about the Zhou family?"
Talking about marriage with the Zhou family was a matter of a few days. Miss has been living in a courtyard in the mountains, how did she know?
Lu Mingyu casually found a reason to be perfunctory: "Dad told me that he would choose a new scholar for the third sister. When you talk about the Zhou family, I can guess it."
"Calculate the time, it's only been seven days since Jinshiquan Street. Why are you getting engaged?"
Lu Jia didn't think about it, and explained with a smile: "On the day of Jinshi Kwajie, the third lady fell in love with Tan Hwalang (1). After the general found out, he ordered the young man to secretly investigate Tan Hwa Lang's family background. In just one day, the Zhou family was investigated clearly."
Speaking of this, Lu Jia straightened his back proudly: "Zhou Tanhua came from an ordinary background, and can barely be regarded as a family of farming and education. Zhou Tanhua is eighteen years old and has not yet married. The young man went to Zhou's house in person, and I met the old lady of the Zhou family."
"They were overjoyed when they heard that the general was willing to marry his beloved daughter, and immediately hired a matchmaker. The matchmaker has already visited Lu's residence, and they will come tomorrow to formally propose marriage."
"The general also praised the small thing well."
Lu Mingyu glanced blankly at Lu Jia, who was complacent and proud: "I'll have someone pack up now and go home immediately."
I haven't officially engaged yet anyway.
Even if you are engaged, you can withdraw!
…
Lu Mingyu soon set off for her home.
Shen Lan was idle and had nothing to do, so she ordered people to pack up and set off together.
"It's a happy event that your third sister is getting married. Why are you frowning, you don't seem very happy." Shen Lan's mind was sharp, and she quickly sensed something was wrong.
Lu Mingyu didn't want to say more, and said casually: "I just think this marriage was decided too quickly, and I'm always worried that something is wrong."
Shen Lan is the future daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and she is also very concerned about the affairs of the Lu family. After hearing the words, she thought for a moment and said, "After you return, you should ask carefully. If you really don't think it's right, it's not too late to quit."
As long as there is no marriage contract, a verbal proposal of marriage is nothing.
Lu Mingyu nodded.
Before, Shen Lan used to go to Lu Mansion together. Now that the Shen Lu family has decided to get married, it is inconvenient for Shen Lan to go to her future husband's house.
Lu Mingyu first sent Shen Lan back to Shen's house, and then rode back to Lu's house.
It was past noon now.
Lu Lin and Lu Fei went to the military camp. Lu Minghua sat alone in the boudoir, staring out the window quietly, not knowing what to think, suddenly her pretty face turned red, and her black eyes flashed with shyness and joy.
Knock, knock, the sudden knock on the door brought Lu Minghua back to her senses.
Lu Minghua got up and went to open the door.
Lu Mingyu's familiar face came into view.
"Xiaoyu," Lu Minghua was a little embarrassed and looked straight at Lu Mingyu: "You lived well in the Shen's Summer retreat, why did you come back suddenly?"
"Tomorrow, the Zhou family will come to propose marriage, and I will come back."
Lu Mingyu's voice was light, neither joking nor serious, even a little unpleasant.
Lu Minghua was slightly startled and then looked up at Lu Mingyu.
I saw Lu Mingyu's expression condensed, and there was no smile in her eyes.
She looked straight at Lu Minghua, opened her mouth and asked, "Third sister, the day when the Queen summoned me to the palace to see me, coincided with the new jinshi riding a horse and parading on the street. Come to think of it, you only saw Zhou Tanhua once! That's it! , can you be sure that he is the sweetheart of your life?"
Lu Mingyu didn't mean to joke, Lu Minghua also put away her shyness and said softly: "Xiaoyu, marriage is a lifetime event. My own lifelong event, I naturally thought about it."
"That day, when I saw him in the restaurant, I was pleased. He also looked up at me and smiled at me."
"I know, he also likes me in his heart."
"The adoptive father asked people to inquire about the situation of the Zhou family, and the housekeeper Lu also went to the Zhou family. The Zhou family is an ordinary family and is very happy to have this marriage."
"I don't seek wealth and honour, I don't admire glory, I just want to marry a wishful husband, raise my eyebrows, and live a comfortable and stable life."
Having said this, Lu Minghua's black eyes flashed with brilliance.
Lu Mingyu smiled bitterly in her heart.
Yes, Lu Minghua married the Zhou family. At first, the Zhou family treated her very well.
However, distance tests a horse's stamina. Time reveals a man's heart. When The Emperor personally suppressed the Lu family, when she, the queen, lost her power, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zhou family immediately changed their faces.
The Zhou family did not have the guts to take Lu Minghua's life. Cold words and rubbing are indispensable.
Whenever she thinks of the suffering Lu Minghua had endured, Lu Mingyu has the urge to beat up the Zhou family.
"Third sister, getting married may not be a good thing." Lu Mingyu tried hard to persuade Lu Minghua: "If you are not in the right household, even if you become a relative, there will be many things you will not be used to in the future. At that time, it will be too late to regret it... "
"Actually, my background is not high." Lu Minghua interjected in a low voice: "My father was once a low-level military general under the command of my adoptive father. Speaking of which, he is still a high-ranking Zhou Tanhua!"
Lu Mingyu took a deep breath and continued to persuade: "Zhou Tanhua won Tanhua at the age of 18, and it is good to learn. However, a person's character has nothing to do with how high his talents are. Maybe, Zhou Tanhua has many things that he doesn't do. A known vice."
Lu Minghua said in a low voice, "You have never met Zhou Tanhua, so how can you be sure that he has bad habits? You can't deny his whole person just by guessing."
Lu Mingyu rubbed her forehead and continued: "Zhou Tanhua is not too young, and he has never been engaged. It can be seen that he wants to pass the imperial examinations to become a jinshi and get a good marriage."
"Yeah, most of the Zhou family should go to the Lu family for marriage affairs." Lu Minghua said softly: "I'm all in the light of my adoptive father."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
The two looked at each other.
Lu Mingyu had sparks in her eyes.
Lu Minghua lowered her head a little uneasily. After a while, she raised her head again and said with courage: "Xiaoyu, I understand that you are good to me. You are worried that I will marry the wrong husband and live a hard life in the future."
"But getting married is an adventure for a woman. Until the end, no one can tell whether she is in a good or bad marriage."
"I don't know what will happen in the future. However, I am very happy now."
"I'm looking forward to marrying my beloved husband, having a pair of well-behaved and obedient children in the future, and living a stable life. This is my greatest hope for the future."
"We are not blood sisters, but our relationship is as deep as that of a direct sister. Xiaoyu, you will definitely understand and support me, right?"
Lu Mingyu: "..."
