Chapter 254 You are a smart person
The Lu and Yan families were the two most important ministers in the court, and the marriage between them had long been a hotly discussed topic both inside and outside the capital, as well as in the government and the public.
Although several housekeepers of the Lu family were naughty and became Jiang's lackeys for a time, their ultimate allegiance was to Lu Jie, who was behind the Chiang family. Therefore, when several earth-shaking events occurred in the mansion one after another, the Lu family had to prepare for the second lady. Everything about leaving the cabinet was not delayed at all.
On the day when the Jiang family returned to the mansion, several ladies in charge of the mansion helped the Zhou family and the Wu family who had come to arrange the wedding to receive the family members of the various mansions who came to add makeup.
On the day after Jiang was assassinated, the mansion began to count the dowries in full swing, because the next day was the big day for leaving the cabinet. For a family like theirs, the dowries were naturally so rich that the Yan family had to send them one day in advance. People come to welcome makeup.
At noon that day, because there were so many people coming and going between the two houses, Yan Shu made an appointment with Lu Jie to go to Xiayou Tower to fulfill his "instruction."
On the Yan family side, Yan Liang is the leader. He brought a group of children from the clan to the Lu family to welcome Zhuang.
Lu Ying sat in front of the dressing table, listening to the sound of blowing and beating getting closer and closer, but she seemed to be frozen, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.
The maid Yingzi, who had been confirmed as a dowry, kept looking at Lu Ying while packing away her jewelry. In the end, she couldn't help but came over to help Lu Ying's shoulders: "Miss, don't be discouraged, life is always easy. Let's go and get a firm foothold first. After some time, we can propose to my wife to adopt a child from the clan. There is still hope for the future. ”
Lu Ying twitched her lips: "Hope? As long as I, Lu Ying, can raise a child, my whole life will be complete?"
Welcome purple silent words.
Grandma Li lifted the curtain and walked in: "The eldest son of the Yan family is here. I have to explain some details to the girl face to face about tomorrow's wedding. Please go to the flower hall to meet her."
Ying Zi said: "Master Yan is the eldest uncle, how can there be any reason to meet in private at this time?"
Aunt Li glanced at them meaningfully: "The eldest son will be the head of the Yan family in the future, and he grew up in front of Mr. Yan Ge. He used to treat our young ladies as if they were sisters. If we can get him to take care of us, One or two, there will always be some benefits in the future
"What's the harm in making an exception at this time and going to see him?"
Ying Zi looked at Lu Ying.
Lu Ying had put down her comb and stood up.
Not far from Chaoyang Pavilion is the Flower Hall.
At this time, in the many courtyards passed through, there was an endless stream of people carrying dowries from the two mansions, and the verandah leading to the flower hall was also filled with servants brought by the Yan family.
Yan Liang was sitting in the hall drinking tea, while Su Zhixiao stood beside him to accompany the guests. Lu Jie was too busy with his own official duties, so it was naturally impossible for him to do it himself. All matters related to the marriage were left to the second and third eldest children.
At this time, the two brothers should be busy taking care of things in the front yard, so they sent Su Zhixiao here.
As soon as Lu Ying arrived, Su Zhixiao also left. Yan Liang stood up and said: "Brother and sister."
Lu Ying's face felt irritated for no reason. She sat down and said, "Cousin, I called you too hastily. If someone hears me, I, Lu Ying, would hate to be married."
Yan Liang smiled: "It's my fault."
He bowed and saluted, then sat down and pushed over a few pieces of paper with the ceremony written on it: "These are some matters related to tomorrow's wedding. Since a lot of things have happened recently, I'm afraid you will be tired of dealing with them, so I wrote them specially. Come down.”
"Thank you."
Lu Ying glanced at it twice and folded it into her sleeve.
Yan Liang looked at her: "My cousin has lost a lot of weight. I still remember how lively and healthy you were in the past. This time, you have been really wronged. My mother has been very worried about her aunt these days, so it is inevitable that she has neglected her cousin. , don’t take it too seriously.”
Lu Ying lowered her head and served the tea: "Aren't you overjoyed? Why are you talking about this?"
"I just want to tell you that even if your mother treats you indifferently for a moment, it is definitely not against you. You are a smart person and know where the problem lies. You will never belittle yourself or give up on yourself just because of this matter."
Lu Ying sighed softly: "Then what do you think of me? When you tell me this now, do you think I have any use?"
Yan Liang's eyes flashed slightly: "I heard that my aunt has lived in the Taoist temple for more than a month, and my cousin has only visited once. It seems a little unfilial." Lu Ying blushed, and when she was about to speak, Yan Liang had already taken the lead and said: "Although it seems unfilial, based on what my aunt has done, it is really difficult for people to love her.
"No matter what her purpose is, her cousin is her only daughter and her only support. She completely ignores her cousin's situation, which is really unkind."
Lu Ying bit her lower lip, her red eyes flickered twice, and then looked away.
She asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Yan Liang turned his head and glanced at the servant standing under the door.
Lu Ying pursed her lips, her chest rose and fell a few times, and then she waved to Yingzi and the others.
Everyone under the door retreated.
"Why did you come to see me?" Lu Ying's eyes widened again.
Yan Liang raised his lips: "I have known you since I was a child, especially after this series of recent events. No matter what my aunt does, you have never participated in anything. You are really much smarter than your mother.
"You already know your situation in the Lu family. You already know what you will face after going to the Yan family.

"It's not that my mother doesn't want to see you, it's just that my aunt is caught in the middle and it's very difficult for all of us.
"To tell you the truth, even my grandfather agreed with our treatment of our aunt an hour ago.
"Sister Ying, you have nothing to rely on.
"Have you really never thought about fighting for something for yourself?"
Lu Ying's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
Yan Liang took a breath and put down the half-sipped tea: "This Longjing tea before the rain is good. I picked it at the right time. If it were picked later, it wouldn't be worth the price."
After saying that, he stood up: "Thinking about it, I've almost finished counting it. Tomorrow is your big day, and I congratulate you in advance on growing old together, brother-sister."
He smiled, turned and left.
Lu Yingteng stood up and rushed to the door. She still stared at the back of Yan Liang who strode out of the hall with her eyes wide open, and her teeth made a gurgling sound!
"Miss!"
Yingzi came over to help her.
She threw him away and ran out quickly.
The servants along the way were scattered to pieces by her collision, and Grandma Li and Ying Zi had to hold up their skirts and run up to catch up.
"Miss!"
They both ran through the door, panting.
Lu Ying grabbed a porcelain bottle and threw it over: "Get out!"
The clatter of the porcelain bottle was deafening.
She looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, bent down to pick up a piece, and held it in her trembling hands.
