Chapter 67 Blessing!
Shen Qingzhou left the palace without waiting for Lu Jie's reply.
He didn't know how Lu Jia returned to the capital in his previous life? How did you marry into the Yan family?
No matter how they looked at it, the Yan family had no reason to let Lu Ying, who had been raised by the Jiang family since childhood, not marry Lu Jia, who had no mother and was living outside the home.
So why is it that Yan Qu is clearly planning to marry Lu Ying in this life, but in the previous life he became Lu Jia?
Jiang is indeed hateful, but as a father, has Lu Jie really fulfilled his responsibilities?
And how did Lu Jia disappear from the capital? Does the father know?
Shen Qingzhou didn't understand Lu Jie.
But he just wanted to remind him that Lu Jie also had a daughter from his original wife.
When Lu Jie returned home, he still sat in the sedan for a while before slowly walking down.
The person at the front door notified the inner house immediately.
Mrs. Jiang tucked the paper in her hand into her sleeves, took the tea that the maid just brought to the door, and carried it into the study.
After putting down the tea and rolling up the curtain, it was announced outside that the master was here.
Mr. Jiang greeted him at the door: "Master."
Lu Jie stood at the door: "Oh my, why did Madam come in person?"
Jiang said: "I have nothing to do today. I heard that I have gained face again in front of the emperor, so I am waiting here."
Lu Jie groaned and stretched out his hand: "Madam, please."
Jiang entered the room first, followed by Lu, and the couple sat on opposite ends of the coffee table.
Lu Jie picked up the tea and said, "By the way, has the matchmaker invited by the Yan family arrived? The Yan family wants to get married before the year, I think it's still too late. Anyway, Madam has made plans for these years, and there is a dowry and everything. ”
Mrs. Jiang glanced at him: "Master, do you really intend to achieve such a marriage?"
"Of course!" Lu Jie straightened his back, "Yan Ge is always your adoptive father, and you have watched his brother grow up. Who in the world doesn't care about the Yan family now?
"Besides, brother Qu is also a talented person, full of ink like his father. Apart from the Yan family, where can I find such a good family?
"Sister Ying, if you marry me, you will be a close relative, and you will be extremely wealthy in the future!"
All the tenderness on Jiang's face faded away, and she put down the tea.
But Lu Jie was still talking. He sighed and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard: "When Sister Ying gets married, let's dig out the daughter Hong under the tree."
Jiang frowned: "This is buried for Sister Jia, are you really willing to use it for Sister Ying?"
"She is not so lucky." Lu Jie said with a calm face: "She is the eldest daughter. If she were alive, wouldn't this marriage in front of her become such a great blessing as the young mistress of Yan's house? Wouldn't it be hers? Madam will definitely not do it either. Eccentric.
"But this is her life. She has liked to run around since she was a child. In the end, she did not see people alive or dead, and she even caused her wife to have a miscarriage. This is her sin.
"Forget it, let's not talk about her." Lu Jie waved his hand, "I have already thought about who we will invite to be the matchmaker. I will ask Lu An to post next time."
Jiang said: "Why is there any need to be so anxious? Let's wait until the Yan family sends a matchmaker."
Lu Jie said seriously: "There is no shop like this after passing this village. Madam, please don't neglect me!"
Mrs. Jiang looked at him for a long time, sat in silence for a while, got up and left.
After returning to the room, she sat down on the couch, raised her hand to support her forehead, and closed her eyes tightly.
After a while, she put down her hand again and opened her eyes: "Pass Guo Lu in."
Not long after, there was a noise in front of the door, and Guo Lu came.
Before she could speak, Mrs. Jiang turned her head, and the shaking of her temples shattered the light and shadow on the floor: "First make sure it's her. We can't get the wrong person this time!"
Guo Lu nodded and asked: "Madam, please tell me, if it is, what should I do? If not, what should I do?"
Jiang's eyes were half lowered, looking at the green tea soup in her hand. After a while, she raised her head. Then he handed over the silk and started pacing around the room again.
"If it's not, there's no need to say anything. If it is, just do what I said earlier."
Guo Lu raised his head and met her eyes. He immediately stopped talking and retreated. Mrs. Jiang looked out the window.
There is also an osmanthus tree in the main courtyard of Lu Mansion.
She took a slow breath and narrowed her eyes.
……
The concubine's reward came three days later. It was a handwritten scripture for Shen Qingzhou's mother.
In the ancestral hall, Shen Qingzhou burned the scriptures to Mrs. Shen, then sat on the futon and unfolded the prince's reply letter sandwiched in the scriptures.
Song En knelt beside him and burned the paper for half a day. Seeing that his eyes had not left the letter, he asked: "Is this letter useful to the young master?"
Shen Qingzhou threw the letter into the brazier.
"As expected, the Su family is indeed involved with Liu Zheng. In this way, there are no traces of contact between the Su family and Zhou Sheng. It's not that they really have no contact, but that all traces have been eliminated."
Song En stopped: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. What conspiracy do they have?"
"Liu Zheng has been working in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and the rivers are all in their hands. The Ministry of Households is also at the mercy of the Yan family. It is conceivable that the Yan family's interests in the rivers must have been long-standing.
"From the beginning of the year to now, the wind has been going against the Yan family. Their big move on the river is probably not just for profit."
"Lieutenant."
The voice of the guard at the door happened to sound. Shen Qingzhou and Song En looked at each other, threw the remaining letter paper into the fire, and ordered: "Go and get ready, then go and say hello to Dr. Sheng. I will leave Beijing at midnight."< br>
When Song En stood up, Shen Bo had already come in with Shen Zhui.
Both father and son stopped when they saw Shen Qingzhou.
Shen Zhui held a large armful of scriptures, and although there was surprise in his eyes, he rarely made any noise.
Shen Qingzhou stood up and bowed to Shen Bo: "Father."
Shen Bo looked at his pale face: "Why did you get up so early?"
"Concubine Yi sent someone to bring scriptures, so I came to worship my mother."
Shen Bo nodded, walked to the altar table, stretched out his hand to caress Mrs. Shen's memorial tablet, then took three incense sticks and put them on them.
"The princess has been thinking about your mother all these years?"
After Shen Bo put the incense, he stared at Mrs. Shen's memorial tablet.
But he did not wait for Shen Qingzhou's answer.
Turning around and looking around, there was no one at the door. The young man who had just called his father had left without any worries.
"Ahhhhh he is so cool!"
Shen Zhui went crazy.
If it weren't for the fact that the scriptures he held in his hands didn't make any mistakes, he would have wanted to catch up and pick up the face he had dropped on the ground earlier!
"Kowtow."
Shen Bo commanded him quietly.
Shen Zhui put down the scriptures and knelt down obediently.
I kowtowed several times before remembering: "Father, how should I call Madam?"
Shen Bo stared at Mrs. Shen's name on the tablet and said: "Of course you should call me mother."
