Chapter 43 A Heartless Woman
Wang Min watched them talking with a smile on her face, looking pleased.
The fact that Jiang Nian noticed the post in Wanru's hand first and asked questions first shows that he cares about Wanru.
Otherwise, based on his past personality, he would never take the initiative to ask.
Lu Jiangnian noticed Wang Min's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable, but then he thought, he also had to go to the East Palace that day, so it wouldn't be a big deal to ask in advance.
He had no other thoughts.
"Mother asked me to come here, what's the matter?"
Speaking of this, Wang Min said seriously: "Yun'er has reached the age of marriage, and she is not young anymore. As her brother and sister-in-law, you should also contribute to her marriage."
"I was thinking that Wan Bin, the eldest son of Mr. Wan, the Minister of Agriculture, seems to be a good person."
"I heard that on the Crown Princess' birthday, the Crown Prince invited many young talents in the capital to the East Palace martial arts arena to compete in horse riding and archery. Wan Bin is the Crown Princess' cousin, so he must be among them."
"On that day, you can also take a look at what Master Wan is like."
Lu Song's concubines have always been obedient, and the children of the first wife are all well-mannered and filial. Wang Min has also taken great pains in Lu Yun's marriage.
Wan Bin's father did not hold a high official position. Mrs. Wan, Tang, was the aunt of the Crown Princess. Wan Bin himself was also very hardworking and promising. He took the imperial examination at the age of fifteen and became the chief clerk of the Dali Temple at the age of nineteen.
Although he is just a minor official, but after gaining experience in this position, it will be easy for him to move up in the future.
Although Lu Yun was born out of wedlock, she was considered a good match for Wan Bin.
It has to be said that Wang Min put a lot of thought into choosing Lu Yun's fiancé.
Lu Jiangnian went over the idea in his mind and agreed with Wang Min's suggestion.
"The Wan family has a good tradition. Wan Changze works diligently and never takes shortcuts. Wan Bin is a member of the imperial examination system, but he is not pedantic."
Yuan Wanru kept recalling in her mind and finally remembered who Lu Yun's husband was in the book.
She couldn't help but slam the table so hard that her hand hurt.
Her sudden action scared Wang Min.
"What's going on?"
Wang Min reached out and pushed her shoulder, looking at Yuan Wanru, who was distracted, with a worried look on her face.
Yuan Wanru felt pain in her hand. She looked at Wang Min awkwardly and said with a forced smile, "I was just thinking about what to wear that day. I can't lose the dignity of our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."
"Mother knows that I don't socialize much and have never met the Crown Princess. The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. I couldn't help but slam the table."
"Didn't you scare mom?"
Yuan Wanru found a seemingly reasonable reason. Wang Min didn't think much about it. She took her hand and said sympathetically, "I always asked you to go out and play more, but you just wouldn't."
"Don't worry, the Crown Princess is kind, Jiang Nian will go there that day too, with him by your side, you can just be yourself without any worries."
She turned around and told Lu Jiangnian: "Take Wanru to the street tomorrow to buy rouge and powder, and also buy some fashionable clothes and jewelry. She is your wife and represents your face, so you can't be stingy."
Lu Jiangnian looked at Yuan Wanru with a meaningful look.
Mother didn't have any suspicion about Yuan Wanru and never suspected anything.
But when Lu Jiangnian heard it, he knew that what she had just said was obviously an excuse.
Could it be that Wan Bin has something unknown?
Yuan Wanru met his mysterious gaze and was stunned for a moment.
She felt that his eyes, as sharp as a knife, seemed to want to dissect her brain and find out what she was thinking.
"No need, my husband is busy. If I need anything, I can just go to the street and buy it myself."
She is going to the pharmacy tomorrow, but she doesn't want Lu Jiangnian to follow her.
Wang Min was also afraid of delaying her son's affairs. Lu Jiangnian had just been promoted to the rank of Wei Wei Qing, and as a new official he had a lot of things to do.
"If you can't spare the time, give the silver to Wanru, and I will send someone to follow her."
Wang Min was not unaware of the affair between his daughter-in-law and Princess Le'an.
That wild woman is a lunatic. Wouldn't it be dangerous if Wanru met her when she went out?
You must choose the best guards.
Lu Jiangnian only felt that after getting married, his mother only saw Yuan Wanru in her eyes.
Every time his mother looked for him, it was most likely about Yuan Wanru. He didn't act like a son, but rather like a son-in-law.
-
After returning to Lingshuiju, Lu Jiangnian did not go to the study room immediately.
Yuan Wanru glanced at him and said nothing, and they went to the outer room of the bedroom together.
When Aunt Pang saw them coming back together, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
She was busy making arrangements, asking Liu Yan to serve Mengding tea to Lu Jiangnian, and calling Liu Zhi to bring almond cakes: "The eldest young lady knows that you don't like sweet snacks, so she specially asked the kitchen to make salty almond cakes. Please try them."
She also put sandalwood into the incense burner, and the room was soon filled with the fragrance of green pine and snow sandalwood.
"I heard that you also use green sandalwood, so the eldest young lady's wife went to ask the eldest lady for some."
Of course, Yuan Wanru did not do these things.
It's been almost a month since their marriage, and the couple has no intention of sleeping together. How can Madam Pang not be anxious?
Since the eldest young master's wife was not attentive, she would work doubly hard to make sure the eldest young master felt extremely cared for.
Yuan Wanru held her forehead helplessly, Aunt Pang is really...
Lu Jiangnian has to believe what she said.
Sure enough, he looked at her with a teasing look in his eyes: "In this case, my lady is thoughtful."
Aunt Pang smiled widely, her eyes narrowed into slits: "That's right, Master, if you didn't come, Madam would have been preparing for it, she was looking forward to it..."
"Madam Pang, please go down. I have something to say to the eldest master."
Madam Pang nodded hurriedly: "I will take my leave now."
If you have something to say, say more, and talk until dark.
Best, say it until tomorrow morning!
Lu Jiangnian held the teacup and took a sip of tea. It was the Mengding tea he was used to drinking.
However, it is absolutely impossible that this calm and composed woman in front of him prepared it specially for him.
What’s the use of being enthusiastic like Aunt Pang?
This heartless little liar wouldn't want to please him, right?
I always feel that she just wants to stay in the Lu family and be her mother's daughter.
Tiantian knew that she had to go to Wangchuntang. His study was just around the corner, but she didn't want to set foot there at all.
Really...heartless!
Forget it, he didn't expect her to look for him anyway.
"There isn't much Mengding tea, how come you have some here?"
"Liuyan is good at making tea."
He casually said a few words as if he didn't mean it. Yuan Wanru stood up and walked to the cabinet behind her and took out a bag of tea leaves: "I don't know where Aunt Pang found it. It cost a hundred taels of silver."
"If you like it, take it. I don't like tea, so it would be a waste to leave it to me."
Lu Jiangnian's hands tightened as he drank tea, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.
He originally wanted to ask Liu Yan to make tea next time he had the chance, but Liu Yan just gave him all the tea leaves, leaving him with no excuse to even come in.
Extremely ruthless.
He pushed the tea leaves back expressionlessly: "I still have some, you can keep it."
