Lingyu: "They do like it, but I'm afraid they are not thinking about eating right now. Only you, girl, are not in a hurry at all!"

Luo Lingyu's heart moved, and she guessed something, but she just smiled, her mind still on her wallet.

The maid Lingyu couldn't stand it, so she snorted, pulled the curtain and went away to change her clothes. When she entered the room again, she saw that the girl was still the same, not moving at all. Lingyu felt a little disappointed. Although she had only been called by the old lady to serve the cousin for a few months, the cousin was interesting and often came up with fun things. The young and beautiful Lingyu had already begun to open her heart to the cousin. Now seeing Luo Lingyu like this, Lingyu said, "Mrs. Jiang was invited to the old lady's house as a guest. The other cousins ​​all went, but you, the girl, only sent a bowl of ice...Aren't you curious about that Mrs. Jiang at all?"

Luo Lingyu didn't care: "Since I'm going to stay at the Lu family for a while, I'll get to know them eventually. The sun is so strong at noon, there's no need to go today."

Lingyu: "What do you know?! There is a reason for letting you go! Girl, you don't know that the Lu family often intermarries with the Jiang family, the Chen family, and the royal family. The Jiang girl who came to Danyang this time is the 'Jiang'. Mrs. Lu is looking for a girl for the husband of the family. It is obvious that she has already chosen Princess Ningping for Lu Erlang and is investigating her. So the Jiang girl must be here for our Sanlang."

Luo Lingyu raised her eyes and paused the embroidery she was doing. She smiled and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Now I understand why you came to visit me in the middle of summer."

Seeing that she still didn't seem to be particularly concerned, Lingyu became even more anxious: "Mrs. Jiang is an old friend of Mr. Lu. Mrs. Jiang often came to the Lu family to play since she was a child. She also knows Lu Sanlang. At least she has known Lu Sanlang for longer than you have. Mrs. Jiang has a profound knowledge of poetry and painting. She is very likable."

Luo Lingyu: "It sounds like Chen Xiu."

Lingyu: "That's different! Madam Chen is aloof and arrogant, and doesn't play with the girls in Jianye. But this Madam Jiang is gentle and has a good relationship with the girls. She was visiting her uncle's house before, and she was not in Jianye. I heard that a few days after she came back this time, Madam Lu hurriedly took her here. When Madam Jiang was little, Madam Lu joked that she would marry her to our Sanlang. When Madam Jiang came to the Lu family, she was like a half-master coming home, and Sanlang even taught her how to paint. We joked that Sanlang was Madam Jiang's half-master, and Madam Jiang really called Sanlang 'master'."

Luo Lingyu said "Oh": So it was Old Madam Lu who chose this.

She said, "Old Madam Lu doesn't like me, so why has she never said anything to me?" It turned out that she was waiting for her here.

The maid Lingyu wandered around the house, dutifully explaining to Luo Lingyu how the new Jiang lady was eyeing Lu Sanlang covetously. The Jiang lady had brought a lot of things with her, and was personally led by Mrs. Lu to meet the masters of each courtyard, which showed how much the elders of the Lu family valued her. After all, the Jiang family had always been married to the Lu family, and many of the elders of the Lu family came from the Jiang family. When this Jiang lady came to the Lu family, it was really like returning to her own home.

Lingyu: "Mrs. Lu asked Sanlang to go home and take Madam Jiang to visit the garden!"

"The courtyard arranged for Madam Jiang is also very close to Sanlang's courtyard. On the contrary, the courtyard we live in is the farthest from Sanlang's courtyard."

"Knowing that Sanlang loves calligraphy and painting, Madam Jiang brought two carts of ancient paintings."

"...In short, girl, this woman is really a threat to you!"

If the elders of the Lu family are not satisfied with the marriage of the younger generation, they will not interfere too much in accordance with the family tradition. What they usually do is to find a more suitable one and then quietly distance themselves from the previous one. Distance, time, and suspicion can easily cause cracks in a relationship. If it doesn't work out for a while, they will wait for a while. In the end, most people will follow the elders' wishes and choose a marriage that the elders are more satisfied with.

For example, Princess Ningping, who was now brought home by Mrs. Lu to play, was placed with high hopes by Mrs. Lu.

Then there is Madam Jiang, Jiang Wanyi, who was carefully selected by Old Madam Lu.

Luo Lingyu naturally saw more clearly what the maid Lingyu saw. But she was not as anxious as Lingyu: "…Why are you in such a hurry? It's too early. If your Sanlang was so easy to be moved, I wouldn't be living here until now, and I wouldn't be sewing my purse."

Her original plan was to get married by then!

Lingyu: "That's not the way to say it. Maybe our Sanlang was not open-minded before and never thought about that. Now he is obviously moved by you, my lady. If there is another girl, he might be able to appreciate the beauty of women."

Luo Lingyu sneered: Humph, so you had this idea. Let her explore Lu Sanlang's feelings, and when she is almost done, send in a new one. Lu Sanlang's bad side was changed by her, and the good side can be directly enjoyed by the later ones. The elders of the Lu family really had a plan.

Luo Lingyu snorted, "Whatever! I want to see how this Jiang lady can move Lu Sanlang's iron heart."

She doesn't believe that she is inferior to others.

She had spent so much time and effort on Lu Yun, how could she let someone else have the advantage? If any random woman could make Lu Yun fall in love with her... that only meant that her skills were too shallow. If that was the case, she would admit defeat.

Lingyu said so much, but seeing that the girl was still not in a hurry, she lowered her head and embroidered non-stop. Lingyu stood for a while, and after seeing clearly what the girl was embroidering, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought of something. In fact, Luo Lingyu would give Lu Yun gifts when she passed by, such as flower stickers, new pens, and snacks. Lu Sanlang refused to accept them at first, but later, Lu Sanlang's personal maid Jinyue even visited their place as if it were Lu Sanlang's own courtyard. The two courtyards exchanged many gifts, but Luo Lingyu never really touched a needle or thread.

Luo Lingyu felt that embroidering took too much energy.

However, Luo Lingyu was embroidering a purse at this time... Lingxi said, "Ah, it seems that I was worried for nothing. Girl, you are finally willing to use your needlework. The Qiqiao Festival is coming soon. It would be great if Sanlang could wear something you embroidered."

Luo Lingyu was pleased with herself, but said perfunctorily, "Qiqiao Festival? He may not even come back."
