After leaving the chess club and saying goodbye to Lu Rong, Yao Jiting returned to his home excitedly, entered the door and went straight to the old lady's yard.
Old Mrs. Yao is almost sixty years old and usually likes quietness. She appreciates all kinds of flowers and calligraphy and paintings. The day has passed. Just after copying a passage of scriptures, I heard that my grandson is back, Old Mrs. Yao washes her hands and goes to the main hall to wait.
"Grandmother." Yao Jiting stepped into the main hall with his fair face flushed slightly and his eyes were clear, which was more energetic than when he was clicked on the flower.
"Hasn't Jiting played chess with Mr. Lu San?" Old Mrs. Yao looked at his grandson in surprise. Because he was at home, there were maids and nannies who had served for many years. Old Mrs. Yao signaled her grandson to sit down after her, and teased affectionately: "Why does it look more like a love luck?"
The old man saw through his worries at first glance, Yao Jiting lowered his head slightly and raised the corners of his lips.
When the old lady Yao saw her grandson's "shy" look, she was very happy and gave her a wink at the maids. She went down. She asked her grandson in a low voice: "You have chosen so many people for you, you don't even look down on me. Tell my grandmother, which lady has you seen this time?"
The husband and son passed away one after another, and there were only two grandchildren left in the family. The eldest son was not doing well. Old Mrs. Yao hoped that she would live two wishes in her life. The first time she hoped that Sun would have a smooth career and would once again shine on the Yao family. The second time she hoped that Sun would marry soon, to give birth to the Yao family, and to have many children and grandchildren.
When it comes to love, it is like a stone when it is not enlightened. It seems that the whole person has lived again. When the love is just beginning to begin, I imagined Lu Yun’s beautiful face with flowers on his hair, Yao Jiting was still a little shy. He lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Grandmother, grandmother has just met him, he is Lu Sanye's sister."
When Old Mrs. Yao heard this, her gray eyebrows flirted little by little.
Yao Jiting looked at him secretly. When he saw his grandmother frowning, he suddenly felt panicked, "Grandmother, what's wrong with it?"
Old Mrs. Yao was indeed not satisfied with Lu Yun, but she didn't want to say bad things about other girls. She pondered for a moment and said tactfully: "Miss Lu is only twelve, she is too young. If she changes to a girl from the 14th or 15th, she will get married this year and her grandmother will be able to hold her great-grandson next year."
It turned out that it was because of this. Yao Jiting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandma, I just entered the Hanlin Academy. I have learned a lot in recent years. If I get married immediately, I will inevitably use both things. Grandma, I thought about it on the way. Miss Lu is quite suitable. Now I get engaged first. Three years later, I have gained a firm foothold in the Hanlin Academy and just married her to the door."
"What do you mean is that the Lu family has agreed?" Old Mrs. Yao asked in confusion. Could it be that my grandson is so hot?
Yao Jiting couldn't help but be happy anymore and nodded with a smile, "Grandmother, Master Lu San asked me to go out today because of this marriage."
Old Mrs. Yao's face looked even more ugly. There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to her grandson. Old Mrs. Yao directly pointed out her grandson and said, "The five fathers and sons of the Lu family, except for the illegitimate Lu Siye, from Lu Shangshu to Lu San, who had just been appointed as the official of the Censor of the He River, are all highly appreciated by the emperor. The Lu family is at the peak of their duty. Think about it carefully. If Miss Lu is fine, why would Lu Shangshu be willing to marry your only beloved daughter? Yes, you won the Tanhua, but Mr. Lu is still the top scholar. Will he like a Tanhua Lang to be his sister-in-law?"
Yao Jiting was stunned and looked at his grandmother diagonally opposite him in disbelief, "You mean, Miss Lu..."
Old Mrs. Yao shook her head and said with conscience: "Miss Lu is just like her mother, simple, simple, gentle and well-behaved, and is a good girl."
Hearing this, Yao Jiting's heart raised high finally fell back. He knew that such a beautiful girl would never have bad character.
However, Old Mrs. Yao changed her tone and said in a stern manner: "But Miss Lu is weak by nature, introverted and reserved, and is definitely not a qualified mistress. In the court, Lu Shangshu wants to marry his daughter to you because he likes our Yao family's simple population and your talent and learning future. When Miss Lu marrys you, her inner and outer face will not be ugly. I have to say that Mr. Lu is really considering her daughter, but we cannot agree. My grandmother is old and has not had a few years of life. Once her grandmother goes away, she will be a gentleman with the temper of Miss Lu. Can her grandmother expect her to be a good helper for you? No, my grandmother would rather find you a lower family background, but the daughter-in-law of the Yao family must be dignified and generous and be able to stand on her own."
"What grandmother meant was to ask me to refuse this marriage?" Yao Jiting looked embarrassed.
"Yes." Old Mrs. Yao was determined and advised her grandson earnestly, "Zhiting, grandmother knows that you have met Miss Lu. To be honest, Miss Lu is beautiful, and grandmother can understand your reluctance, but marrying a wife and taking a concubine and taking a concubine, and having sex, the wife needs to take care of her husband and children. The responsibility is heavy. You must not be hasty. At worst, grandmother will take two more beautiful concubines for you in the future..."
"I don't want to take a concubine."
It was time to tell my grandmother, and he understood what my grandmother meant. Yao Jiting quickly calmed down, stood up, looked straight at the elders and said, "Grandma, I know that you think so for my own good and for the Yao family, but my wife is the one I have to spend my life with me, and I have to face every day. I want to marry someone I like. As you said, Miss Lu may not be generous enough, and may not be able to treat people and things in all aspects, but she is still young and she can still learn. Even if she can't learn, I won't blame her, because it is my responsibility to revitalize the Yao family. If I have to rely on my wife to help me to achieve fame, then I am not worthy of her at all, and I am not qualified to pick and choose from her."
The eighteen-year-old Tanhualang is like a green cypress, and his voice is like a jade bead, making a sound.
Old Mrs. Yao looked at her grandson in shock. Although her grandson did not listen to her advice, the old lady couldn't help but wet her eyes. Look, this is her grandson, her grandson who stands tall and strong. She couldn't teach her eldest grandson well, but she raised her second grandson. Even if she died, she would have the honor to meet the ancestors of the Yao family.
"Okay, Jiting said it well. Since you have such ambition, then marry me." Wiping your tears, Old Mrs. Yao said with relief.
Just marry her. Although Miss Lu is weak and cannot help her grandson, Miss Lu is lucky and has a father and brother to support her. Lu Zhan loves his daughter so much. If the two children get married in the future, will Lu Zhan not find a way to support his son-in-law?
In short, this marriage is more beneficial than disadvantages to her family. At worst, after the grandson-in-law comes in, she will do more to make trouble and train.

After discussing it privately, Old Mrs. Yao quickly asked a matchmaker to formally propose marriage to the Lu family with a gift.
It was not until this time that Lu Mingyu learned that her parents had already looked at her with a new uncle!
"Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell me earlier. I'll take a closer look that day, Tanhualang came over that day!" Lu Mingyu ran to his mother and pouted and complained. The elders were about to see the style of Tanhua, the No. 1 winner. Although Lu Mingyu was by her side, her head was full of news that Chu Suihui went to Yueyang. She didn't look at Yao Jiting carefully. Now she can't even remember her rough appearance.
"It's the same to say it sooner or later. Anyway, it's not that I'm choosing my husband for A Nuan." Xiao said with a relaxed smile without any guilt. It's not that she deliberately concealed her daughter, but whether her sister-in-law's marriage was successful or not. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law had seen each other and had to wait for the Yao family to reply. Before the news was confirmed, Xiao didn't want to reveal it first.
The elders were not kind to do things, and Lu Mingyu was angry and aggrieved. He angrily sent his naughty brother to his mother, who had been pestering her for a long time: "Mom, please coax me yourself. I'll go find my aunt and have lunch at my grandmother's place. Mom doesn't have to wait for me!" My mother was "unkind" to her, so don't blame her for not helping to coax the child. How tired she is to coax her brother!
After losing the small bag, Lu Mingyu turned around and ran out.
"Sister, wait for me!" Brother Heng likes to play with his sister. When he saw that his sister ran away, the little guy was very anxious and chased after him.
Lu Mingyu, who was tired of his younger brother, looked disgusted: "I'll go find my aunt, don't follow me."
Brother Heng refused to accept it, "I'll look for my aunt too!"
Lu Mingyu deliberately ignored him and walked a few steps. When he heard that his younger brother was about to cry, Lu Mingyu stomped his feet and walked back, holding the follower brother who was laughing.
In the main hall, Xiao sat at the table comfortably and continued to check the luggage orders he had to take to leave at the end of the month.

In Ning'antang, Zhu was holding his daughter's hand and whispering, "Does Ajun like this marriage arranged by his parents for you?"
Lu Yun's little face was blushed and buried in his mother's arms and said shyly: "I listen to my mother, but other sisters are engaged in the 14th and 15th century. Why did my mother bring me so early..." Speaking of this, the girl's face flushed off and her voice choked up, "I can't bear to leave my mother, I can't bear to leave my brother A Nuan and the others. I don't want to get married so early..."
She had run into Yao Jiting, but she didn't see it clearly. She only remembered that Yao Jiting should not be ugly. Since her parents said that Yao Jiting was good, Yao Jiting must be good. Lu Yun was willing to obey her parents' arrangements, but she just couldn't bear to leave her home.
"Silly girl, just get engaged first. Your father said that it will be four years before you get married at the age of sixteen." Zhu coaxed gently and gently touched his daughter's hair. "Ajun can't bear to leave her mother, and she can't bear to leave her. If Yao Jiting wasn't older than you, it would be unsuitable for her to be eighteen."
Lu Yun burst into laughter and knew that he would be an old girl at the age of eighteen.
"aunt!"
Suddenly, Brother Heng'er's crisp shout came from the yard. Lu Yun was happy and raised from his mother's arms, "Brother Heng is here."
Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "It must be A Nuan who brought him to congratulate his aunt, go quickly!"
Lu Yun blushed and went to see his nephew and nieces shyly.
In this way, the Yao and Lu families began to discuss marriage, and the Geng letter was changed, and they would follow the wedding customs step by step.
Lu Rong's family of four will set off for Yueyang at the end of the month, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with the two families' formal engagement, but the news of the marriage has been spread. Everyone in the capital knows that his sister will marry Yao Jiting, including the one above ten thousand people in the palace. Therefore, when he set off at the end of the month, Lu Rong felt at peace.
"Dad, where is Yueyang?"
Several carriages slowly drove out of the city gate, and Heng Geer asked curiously in the carriage in the middle.
Lu Rong smiled, hugged his son and said, "It's south."
Brother Heng blinked his eyes as if he was ignorant, turned his head and asked his sister, "Sister, is Yueyang fun?"
