Chapter 8 The original heroine appears
In late spring, Mrs. Lu returned to her parents' home in Xu County to visit her relatives.
Xu County is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. After the wedding date was set, Lu Song also sent someone to deliver a letter to Xu County.
According to the speed of foot, it will be delivered this evening or tomorrow morning.
Unexpectedly, Madam Lu returned to Beijing without saying goodbye, and just in time for the wedding ceremony.
I just hope his mother won't mess things up later.
Lu Song was thinking a lot, but he didn't show it on his face: "Today is a good day. If my mother missed Jiang Nian's wedding, she would blame me."
"The ceremony for the newlyweds is over. Send them to the bridal chamber. My wife and I will take care of them here."
Lu Jiangnian glanced at Lu Song with a sneer.
The two men are not only father and son, but also comrades-in-arms, and they understand each other very well.
He calmly took Yuan Wanru's hand and walked towards Lingshuiju, feeling somewhat gloating over his father's predicament.
Lu Song glared at him and said, "You unfilial son! How dare you bear to see your father making a fool of himself?"
-
The bridal chamber was packed with people. The bridesmaid's face was filled with joy as she signaled Lu Jiangnian to lift the veil.
A graceful girl was sitting on a bright red quilt covered with a mandarin duck pattern. Her pair of delicate hands were placed neatly on her knees, their whiteness dazzling.
He picked up the scale bar, lifted the veil, and their eyes met.
Yuan Wanru saw Lu Jiangnian, who was wearing a bright red brocade robe, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
His plain, angular face was stunningly beautiful against the backdrop of his red clothes, his strong and tall body stood proudly, his quiet eyes held a charming and mysterious aura.
She didn't know that when Lu Jiangnian looked at her, he was also distracted for a moment.
Under the wedding veil, the girl's delicate makeup was radiant, her bright red lips were bright and tempting, and she had a unique charm. The gold, silver, pearls and jade on her head were all eclipsed at this moment.
At this moment, he had the reality of getting married.
Regardless, he did get married.
The bridesmaid stood between them holding a tray and said, "The newlyweds drink the wedding wine."
They each held a cup, their arms intertwined, and their breathing could be heard clearly.
Yuan Wanru tilted her head back and drank the wine. The wine was cold, but it felt hot and spicy in her throat and she almost vomited it out.
She forgot that in modern times she was a teetotaler and this was her first time drinking.
In an instant, her face was covered with an intoxicating blush, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a hint of misty charm.
She looked up at Lu Jiangnian aggrievedly and whispered, "It tastes so bad."
Her warm breath fanned onto his Adam's apple, with a faint aroma of wine. Her round eyes looked over at him, and she looked a little pitiful.
Lu Jiangnian lowered his eyes, stroked the wine glass, and put it back on the tray: "I'm done."
It's time for him to go out and entertain the guests.
-
The banquet was over.
Mrs. Lu’s Rongshou Hall.
"Boss, you are truly my filial son."
Madam Lu pointed at Lu Song and was furious: "Jiang Nian's marriage is such a big thing, and I, as a grandmother, am not worthy of knowing about it?"
Lu Song was calm and composed, and explained gently: "Mom, don't you make your son feel ashamed by what you said?"
"My son has never been a reckless person. Mother should understand this."
"Many things cannot be explained in one or two sentences. In short, he is my son and I will not harm him."
"Wanru grew up under Madam's care. She knows everything about her. Why not marry her?"
Old Madam Lu stared at Lu Song, as if she wanted to see through him.
The fire in her heart gradually died down, but it was still not enough.
Jiang Nian is the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and her most outstanding grandson. It is a pity that he is married to Yuan Wanru.
Not to mention that she is a taciturn person, given her background, how can she be of any help to her grandson?
Yuan Chuan was originally Lu Song's bodyguard. He died for his master, which was a worthy death.
The Lu family has raised her for so many years, providing her with fine clothes and delicious food, and then they found a good family to marry her off. All the kindness has been repaid, so why should they sacrifice their grandson's lifelong happiness?
But now that things have come to this, what else can she do?
In the end, it's just hard to accept.
Madam Lu said angrily, "You are now a powerful official, and your family has the final say. The marriage of the prince was arranged in such a hasty manner. People who don't know would think we have done something shameful and need to cover it up."
She changed the subject and turned her anger towards Wang Min: "You are also useless. He is a grown man and doesn't understand these twists and turns. Don't you understand them either?"
"He's confused, and you're confused too!"
Wang Min knew this would happen.
No matter what Lu Song did, if the old lady was not satisfied, she would blame her in the end.
But she was just good at talking and couldn't actually do anything, so Wang Min let her talk.
"It's all my daughter-in-law's fault for being useless and unable to persuade the Marquis."
Lu Song has been caught between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, so he naturally understands that it is time for him to express his stance.
"Mom, I asked a master to calculate this day."
"Today's horoscopes are the most compatible with Jiang Nian and Wan Ru, and it is rare to see one in ten years. I made this hastily because I wanted the baby to be healthy. How can Madam make the decision?"
Madam Lu snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Although she complained that Wang Min couldn't persuade Lu Song, she would be unhappy if Wang Min had a stronger idea than Lu Song.
"Okay, I encountered these bad things when I came back, which gave me a headache."
She pointed to the two young women standing beside her and said, "This is your eldest cousin's daughter, Lan Xin, and this is your second cousin's daughter, Lan Zhi."
After the two girls bowed and greeted each other, Madam Lu took the hand of another woman in red beside her and smiled warmly: "Look, who is this?"
Wang Min looked at it carefully before saying, "Could it be that the Liang family next door..."
Liang Yusong was very respectful and said, "Aunt Lu has a very good eye. She can still recognize me after not seeing me for so many years."
She bowed and said, "Yusong greets Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu."
Liang Yusong's father, Liang Shangjiong, was a comrade-in-arms with Lu Song, and the two stayed together for three or four years.
Coincidentally, the Liang family, also known as the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, is right next to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion.
The two families had frequent interactions, so Wang Min naturally recognized Liang Yusong.
Seven years ago, Liang Shangjiong took his wife and children to work abroad, and the contact between the Lu and Liang families gradually faded.
Wang Min was a little curious: "How did the old lady meet Miss Liang?"
Speaking of this, Madam Lu held Liang Yusong's hand affectionately and said, "This child and I are destined to be together. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see Jiang Nian get married."
It turned out that when Madam Lu was returning to Beijing from Xu County and passing through Luoyang, she fell seriously ill and her condition was extremely critical.
The servant went around looking for doctors, and Liang Yusong heard about it and took the initiative to go to the house to treat the patient.
"Her maternal grandfather was the head of the Imperial Hospital. Yusong is extremely talented and has studied medicine with Imperial Doctor Gao for many years."
"I consulted several doctors in Luoyang at the time, but none of them could help me. Fortunately, I met her."
Lu Song and his companions hurriedly thanked Liang Yusong, and Liang Yusong naturally said that he did not dare to take credit for it.
Madam Lu added, "Her grandmother passed away, and she stayed in her hometown in Luoyang for a year. She was a filial and good girl. Because I was not fully recovered, she followed me back to Beijing."
"Now her parents and brothers are still away, and her grandfather is traveling. Her uncle and aunt are the only ones at home. Why not let her live in our house so that she can take care of me nearby."
Wang Min felt it was inappropriate.
But Madam Lu insisted on doing so. Liang Yusong took out a handwritten letter from Liang Shangjiong, which said that Liang Shangjiong would be transferred back to Beijing around the end of the year, and asked them to take care of Liang Yusong for a period of time.
In this way, Liang Yusong and the two girls from the Cao family temporarily stayed in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
