"Miss, the Third Madam has had the yard cleaned up. She said the princess will be coming to the house this afternoon. Can I put on some nice makeup for you?"
Nuan Yu said as she looked at Lu Yao's slightly made-up face.
Lu Yao glanced at the Ancient Sound and said, "Let's have it carried to the main courtyard first. When the princess arrives, I'll play a good song for them. As for the makeup, just keep it simple and delicate."
"Yes, miss."
The Lu family was busy tidying up the yard to welcome Xiao Lingyu into the house, while the Meng family received the news that Meng Zihe had passed the imperial examination, and the whole house was filled with joy.
Meng Zihe was chosen as the top scholar by Emperor Qianyuan and was directly appointed to the Hanlin Academy.
When the old man of the Meng family heard the news, he felt ten years younger and practiced the Five Animal Exercises in the yard for another half an hour.
He also wants to watch the day when Su Ningwen becomes the top scorer in high school.
The rest of his life will be about maintaining good health and living a good life!
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Meng family looked at Meng Zihe's handwritten letter head to head, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
Meng Zihe asked them to invite a matchmaker to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage, and when he returned home from visiting his parents, he would go to the house in person to finalize his marriage with Lu Yao.
"Mom, this is a difficult matter. The Lu family doesn't necessarily have to marry Lu Yao off. If they were in a hurry to marry Lu Yao off, the Third Madam of the Lu family would have already arranged it. And Lu Yao seems to still have the mind of a child and hasn't thought about it in this way."
Mrs. Meng Wei frowned, "You can't say she has a childish mind. When she played the zither for the princess at the last plum blossom viewing banquet, she didn't look like a child at all. She looked like a real rich lady. She plays the zither very well, and now the princess has appreciated her. The young man who marries her can be a young man from an aristocratic family, and she may not even look favorably upon our Zi He."
Meng Chen felt that she had heard wrong. Didn’t her mother-in-law always boast about the excellence of the Meng family’s descendants? Could it be that they could just pick any young lady from an aristocratic family?
"Mother, our Zihe is now the top scholar and works in the Hanlin Academy. In the future, he will be a close minister to the emperor and can choose any noble lady in the capital!"
Meng Wei raised her eyes and looked at him. "That being said, your son is now attracted to Lu Yao, and the noble ladies in the capital are no longer in his sight."
Meng Chen said, "Lu Yuan is the one who makes the decision on this matter, but it also depends on Lu Yao's wishes. However, I am worried that Lu Yao will be stimulated in the future and her madness will relapse. What should I do?"
Meng Wei was also a little worried when she heard this. She had also heard that when Lu Yao went crazy, she would not recognize anyone and would beat anyone she saw.
"Shouldn't be! What else could possibly provoke her? There's no one persecuting her. Men in our Meng family don't take concubines, so no one will persecute her."
The reason why the Meng family's ancestral precepts forbid men from taking concubines is that the ancestor of the Meng family knew very well that concubines would be the source of trouble in the family. Only after the family became independent did the Meng family of Huayang County come into being.
"Besides, the reason her illness can't be cured is because those two vicious women, Cui and Ye, drugged her and bewildered her mind. That's why she's like this!"
Meng Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then should we go ask the princess about Lu Yao's situation first, and then go to the Lu Mansion to test Lu Yuan's opinion?"
"I won't go to the princess. The princess said Lu Yao's madness won't relapse, so it won't relapse. If I go, the marriage between the Meng and Lu families may not be successful!"
If she asks, won’t the princess think that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dislike Lu Yao?
"Then let's go to Lu Mansion after lunch and talk about this."
After lunch, Xiao Lingyu took Su Xingyi and Xiao Xier to Lu Mansion.
"Ayuan, I'm here to see you."
"See……"
"Hurry up and lie down. I told you not to be polite when you see me."
Xiao Lingyu had already sat down beside the bed, his hand on Lu Yuan's wrist, carefully taking her pulse.
Xiao Xier subconsciously reached out and touched Lu Yuan's bulging belly, releasing a barely perceptible fragrance.
She didn't know why she did this. After all, she was not a patient. There seemed to be a voice in her head telling her to do this.
Lu Yuan inexplicably felt comfortable all over at this moment.
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyes and glanced at the little hand on Lu Yuan's belly.
Xiao Xier's special bloodline is really not simple.
"My Lady, how is my child?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "It's very healthy, and the fetus is in the right position. You'll be able to see the brother and sister in less than four months. I'll come back to check on you in a month to ensure a smooth delivery."
"Princess, your belly will get bigger day by day. It's not advisable for you to run around. You should also take care of yourself." Simeng said.
Every time she entered the mansion, she would be worried again.
"Mother." Xiao Xier blinked at Xiao Lingyu, "I can also take her pulse by following you. I will come to check her once a month."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Could it be that Miss Xi is very insightful in medical skills?"
Simengshi was not doubtful. After all, Wen Ge'er, Jie Ge'er, and An Ge'er all had their own abilities. Xiao Xi'er was also a capable little girl, so she wanted to confirm it.
Xiao Lingyu patted Xiao Xi'er's head and said with a smile, "My Xiao Xi'er has many abilities, including medical skills. She is still young and hasn't learned much, but she can diagnose and treat a few things. You can rest assured."
"Yes, I still want to continue learning medical skills with mother and strive to surpass her."
Xiao Xier didn't expect that just because of her quick words, she ended up taking on a job studying medicine!
Okay, it’s always good to have more skills, there are only benefits and no disadvantages anyway!
If you use aroma to assist in treatment, you must at least use real medical skills to cover it up.
"Xiao Xi'er, do you want to learn medicine?"
At this time, Lu Yao entered the room.
"Sister Yao'er!" Xiao Xi'er threw herself into Lu Yao's arms, "Yes, I'm learning medicine from mother. Can I already diagnose a few patients?"
Lu Yao took a deep breath. For some reason, she was particularly fascinated by the scent of Xihanxiang on Xiao Xier.
Every time I smell this scent, I feel relaxed and can sleep well.
"Xiao Xi'er, does the scent of Xihanxiang on you help you sleep?"
"My mother made this for me. It helps me sleep."
This is natural. The better her mood, the better she smells.
"My mother and I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time..."
"I came here to play the piano for you."
Soon, beautiful piano music was heard in the room.
Su Xingyi, who was playing chess with Si Chuyu outside the courtyard, was surprised when he heard the piano music. He whispered to Si Chuyu, "Sister Yao'er's piano skills have improved again."
"Ever since she acquired the ancient remnant, she has been practicing diligently, hoping to soon perform a duet with the princess."
Su Xingyi has never heard Xiao Lingyu play the piano, so he doesn't know how good Xiao Lingyu's piano skills are.
At the same time, the third wife of the Lu family, Chen, was entertaining the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Meng family in her own yard.
It's very strange. Why didn't the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to the main courtyard to see Si Meng, but came here to find her?
The Third Madam put down her teacup and said, "Listen, my daughter Yao'er's piano skills are better than the ones she played at the Plum Blossom Viewing Banquet."
Meng Wei nodded: "Second Miss, are you using ancient sounds?"
