Lu Baozhu was very displeased when he heard Lu Guogong's words: "What kind of good husband is Shen Jialin? He is a few years younger than me and about the same age as Lu Yun. I have to find someone who is older than me and more considerate to me." husband."
Princess Pingrou said: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. Do you have to be picky about it? You are not shy."
Lu Baozhu snorted and said, "I won't marry Shen Jialin. If dad likes it, dad will marry him himself!"
Qi Yuning chuckled lightly.
Duke Lu Guo also knew that he had no power to intimidate his daughter and youngest son, so he ordered Lu Ze.
"Ze'er, don't be too busy with official matters. Please advise your sister. After all, women are not as good as men. If your sister is not married, if your sister marries first, she will be laughed at. Shen Jialin's family is top-notch in character and talent. If you get engaged to him, you won’t lose any precious stones.”
Lu Baozhu said: "It's useless for you to ask my brother to discipline me about the big things in life. I don't like Shen Jialin, so I just won't marry him."
Lingling walked up to Lu Baozhu, hugged Lu Baozhu and said, "Lingling likes my aunt, and my aunt can marry Lingling."
"Lingling will marry her aunt when she grows up."
Zhong You said from the side: "You are a little girl, you can't marry your aunt."
Lingling said: "Then Lingling will marry my aunt as a young man."
Lu Baozhu chuckled and said, "Lingling is still the best."
At dinner, the men drank and the women left early.
Qi Yuning saw Lu Baozhu throwing stones by the lake in the palace, walked to her and said, "Why do you hate Shen Jialin so much?"
Lu Baozhu said: "He is too unruly and extremely arrogant. He likes to show off and show off just because he has some knowledge. My brother's knowledge is not inferior to his, and I have never seen my brother show off like him."
Qi Yuning said: "However, I think he will ask you to propose marriage soon. If you don't like him, you still have to go and make it clear to him as soon as possible."
Lu Baozhu said: "I don't care about him. As long as he has some self-awareness, he will not come to propose marriage."
Qi Yuning thought about Lingling and said that Lu Baozhu had not married until the year of Xinwei, so Shen Jialin was really not a good match for her.
Lu Baozhu looked at Qi Yuning and said, "I didn't expect that we could talk here calmly."
Qi Yuning said: "It was just a small fight between us. You were used by Qin Yuli. Now that Qin Yuli has been beheaded, naturally you and I can calm down. We used to argue with you. It’s just that I don’t want Qin Yuli to be proud.”
Lu Baozhu looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Actually, I have someone I like in my heart."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Baozhu in surprise, "Who?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Mr. Qingqi."
"Huh?" Qi Yuning had never seen this person before, "Who is he?"
Lu Baozhu said: "He is the one who writes storybooks, and my favorite is the storybook he wrote about his travels in the world, happy and grudges.
Different from other novels where the daughter of a princess falls in love with a poor scholar, the women in his novels are not limited to the back house and can do whatever they want and roam the world. I will never be attracted to him. It’s just his The books were all banned by the imperial court, and I couldn't find out who he was. "
Qi Yuning: "...could it be that what you like is just the storybook he wrote, not the person he is?"
Lu Baozhu said: "I like him. I have corresponded with him for a long time. I have kept every letter from him. I also wrote to him when I left the capital, and I wrote to him again after I came back. , but no more letters from him..."
Qi Yuning never thought that Lu Baozhu still had such a secret in his heart.
Lu Baozhu also realized that he had said too much and said: "You are not allowed to tell my brother!"
Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Yeah."
Lu Baozhu said: "You swear."
Qi Yuning stretched out two fingers and said, "I swear."
……
Inside a large mansion in the south of Shengjing City.
The head of the Shen family held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and looked at Shen Jialin in front of her and said, "Are you really going to marry Lu Baozhu?"
Shen Jialin nodded and said: "Mom, I just like Lu Baozhu." The head of the Shen family said: "Lu Baozhu's family background is a little worse, but it can be considered a new family. It is not as long as the Shen family, but it is still passable. You If you want to enter the court, it would be beneficial to marry her."
Shen Jialin smiled lightly and said, "The child has already received the promise of Lu's consort. You just need to pick an auspicious day to propose marriage."
After Shen Jialin returned to his room, the servant took a few letters to Shen Jialin and said, "Young master, you have been away from Lingzhou for many days, but Miss Qian has sent you a lot of letters."
Shen Jialin opened Miss Qian's letter. Seeing the crooked words that looked like insects crawling across them, Shen Jialin only felt that it was an insult to his eyes.
Shen Jialin started writing storybooks at the age of fifteen, which was the most despised among literati in the world, so Shen Jialin wrote storybooks for Qingqi anonymously.
When he was unknown, he once thought that no one would read his words.
Unexpectedly, a woman from far away in Shengjing City sent a letter to the bookstore and praised him for his good writing. She was afraid that he would be in need, so she gave him a thousand taels of silver notes and a jade pendant.
Because of the encouragement of this girl Qian, Shen Jialin never gave up. Now Mr. Qingqi is the most famous among the black market dialect books, and it is hard to find a single book.
Miss Qian's handwriting was as bad as ever. Shen Jialin opened a letter. It was a letter before the Dragon Boat Festival. It was Miss Qian who said that something happened at her grandfather's family and that she would have to leave Shengjing for a while.
Then came the letter in September, saying that she had returned to Shengjing City.
Shengjing...
Shen Jialin then came up with the idea of meeting the girl Qian with whom he had been corresponding for two years.
Since we are both in Shengjing City, it would be a pity not to see him.
Shen Jialin was indeed curious about what a girl who could write such ugly calligraphy looked like.
Shen Jialin wrote a letter and asked his servant to deliver the letter to the bookstore.
……
After the banquet, as the wedding was approaching, Qi Yuan finally felt sorry for his sister's busy schedule and helped Qi Yuning with business affairs.
Qi Yuning actually had some free time to focus on his marriage.
When she left Shengjing during the Dragon Boat Festival, she asked Jiangnan to drive a piece of red phoenix cloud brocade material for her. Many embroidery workers worked day and night to weave the cloth, and it was delivered in October.
This wedding dress is her third wedding dress.
Compared with the first and second red wedding dresses, this wedding dress is even more exquisitely made. The woven golden phoenix on its back looks very agile under the sun.
When Qi Yuning tried on the wedding dress, Lingling's eyes widened, "Mother, you are so beautiful. Lingling likes your mother to wear such beautiful clothes!"
Qi Yuning put on the golden crown with a chuckle, and let the maid who was the best at applying makeup in the palace apply makeup on her, including long willow-leaf eyebrows, slightly upturned phoenix eyes, and cherry red lips.
Qi Yuning looked at herself in the bronze mirror and wondered what Lu Ze would look like when he saw her dressed like this. Would you look at Xiao Lingling like this?
The wedding was approaching, and she could no longer see Lu Ze. After having dinner together three days ago, she never saw Lu Ze again.
"My mother is so beautiful!" Lingling climbed on Qi Yuning's body, "Lingling likes my mother so much."
Beside Li Chunlian hugged Lingling, "Little princess, the wedding dress on the princess's body is precious. There should be no wrinkles on it. Come down first and wait for the princess to change clothes before I hug you."
Lingling was obedient and got off Qi Yuning obediently.
"Qi Yuning, Qi Yuning!"
Lu Baozhu hurriedly entered Qi Yuning's room.
Qi Yuning recalled that more than a year ago, when she was trying on wedding clothes, Lu Baozhu also barged in. She always felt that nothing good happened.
Lu Baozhu saw Qi Yuning trying on the wedding dress in front of her and said, "This wedding dress is really beautiful."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Aren't I beautiful?"
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful."
Lu Baozhu placed the letter in front of Qi Yuning and said, "Qingqi said he wanted to see me. Do you want me to see him?"
