Chapter 44 Qin Family Mother and Son
Chapter 44
"Mom and Dad, don't think about those unhappy things. Let's not care about the process, just look at the result. This arranged marriage can be said to be a coincidence. We should look more at the beneficial side. Maybe in the future, the Empress Dowager, Zhao Yutan, Xie Zhan and others will regret this arranged marriage." Lu Songli said jokingly.
There was a hidden meaning in what she said, but unfortunately no one except her could hear it.
Jiang followed her words and thought of that scene, then she smiled happily, "Yes, after you and Qin Sheng are married, live a good life and make those who are not optimistic about you shut up."
Her mother had always liked Qin Sheng, and now, by chance, her mother was extremely happy. She started to make plans and pulled her father and said, "Later, let's go to the Xie family to get back the engagement letter and the token of engagement."
Lu Desheng nodded, "Okay, we must get it back."
Jiang called housekeeper Chen over and told him, "Go and send a note to the Xie family, saying we'll be there this afternoon."
After receiving the order, Butler Chen went to work.
At this moment, the doorman came running to report, "Master, Madam, Second Miss, the old lady of the Qin family and the eldest and sixth sons of the Qin family are here to visit."
Lu Desheng and his wife exchanged glances. Someone from the Qin family? So soon? Could it be that they had just received the imperial decree and rushed to their home? Wait, they seemed to have overlooked a question. Would the Qin family mind her inability to conceive due to her cold constitution?
"Please come in."
No matter what, let’s meet the person first.
The Lu family's door opened and Manager Chen came to greet the guests in person.
Qin Sheng and Qin Heng supported Mrs. Qin on both sides and stepped into the Lu family's gate for the second time.
Madam Qin looked at the clothes her youngest son had specially changed before leaving the house and nodded with satisfaction. After the Queen Mother granted the marriage, the child finally looked like he was going to get married. Before, he had never cared about what to wear when visiting the Zhao family.
The youngest son is good-looking, and he looks good in his usual fancy clothes, but isn't he about to get engaged? This more mature and steady look will surely please the woman and reassure her.
Lu Desheng and his wife, along with Lu Songli, waited at the entrance to the flower hall, but did not go out to greet them. As the woman, it was only right for her to be reserved.
When Chief Steward Chen led Madam Qin, her mother, and her son to the flower hall, Jiang greeted them with a smile as soon as she saw them. "Madam Qin, Sixth Young Master Qin, you're here? Please come in. It's a great honor to have you here."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "No, no, it's just us coming here unexpectedly and bothering you."
The two sides exchanged greetings and entered the flower hall together, then the host and guest sat down and the servants served tea.
When Mrs. Qin and Jiang met, one of them was interested in making friends, and the other also wanted to get along well with each other. They started calling each other "sister" after just a few minutes of chatting.
The two ladies were the spokespersons for the entire event and they were chatting animatedly.
Lu Songli was drinking tea quietly downstairs.
She noticed that Madam Qin must have dressed up before leaving. She looked energetic and not sick at all. Her smile was gentle and kind. It was obvious that Madam Qin must have been a beauty in her youth.
Indeed, she had seen both Qin Heng and Qin Sheng before, and both were impressive looking. Qin Sheng, in particular, had a face that was almost impeccable from every angle. Even though she had never met his father, the Marquis of Pingxi, she could guess that he had inherited the best qualities from both parents. With his appearance, his parents must have been equally impressive.
Lu Songli, who has a free and divergent mind, was mentioned soon after.
Madam Qin looked at Lu Songli with a gentle gaze, "Is this Ah Li? She's quite a beauty."
"Hello, Madam Qin." Lu Songli stood up and bowed gracefully.
Mrs. Qin nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Ah Li, please call me aunt."
"Hello, Aunt Qin." Lu Songli readily agreed.
"The person next to me is my youngest son, Qin Sheng. You should have met him."
At Madam Qin's signal, Qin Sheng stood up and performed a junior's salute to Lu Desheng and Jiang.
"This is my eldest son, Qin Heng. His father, Qin Yue, is not in the capital. As the saying goes, the eldest son is like his father. He will help arrange Ah Sheng's marriage."
Well, Qin Heng is a benchmark for her father.
Qin Heng also said, "Uncle and aunt, if the Lu family has any requirements regarding Asheng and Ling'er's marriage, please tell me and I will make the arrangements."
Lu Desheng and Jiang looked at the mature and steady Qin Heng and nodded.
"At the flower viewing banquet at Prince Gong's mansion, my son accidentally rescued Ling'e and told me about it. I immediately felt that the two of them were destined to be together. Now that the Empress Dowager has personally issued an imperial decree to marry their two children, it proves that they are truly destined to be together. They are truly a match made in heaven."
"More than that, to be honest, I really liked this kid Ah Sheng the moment I saw him."
The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the two sides were talking and were about to enter the topic of marriage.
Before that, Jiang kept the topic under control and said to Lu Songli, "Ali, why don't you take Ah Sheng for a walk in the garden?"
Lu Songli: Are you trying to get them away?
"That's right. Young people should walk around more often." Mrs. Qin agreed very much.
Since both sides' mothers had said so, they definitely couldn't stay in the flower hall any longer.
Lu Songli stood up and looked at Qin Sheng, "Let's go?"
Qin Sheng also stood up and said, "Okay, you go ahead."
Mrs. Qin reminded her son, "It's very windy outside, so please take good care of Ah Li."
The two walked out one after the other. Mrs. Qin and Jiang looked at them and thought that they were a perfect match, with their talent and appearance being the real match. They both nodded secretly.
Qin Heng then said with a smile, "Uncle, I heard that you have a collection of Ye Ma Cao Tian's chess endgame records. I'm very curious. Could I borrow a few?"
Lu Desheng said generously, "There's nothing here that can't be borrowed. Let's go to the study."
As they were talking, Lu Desheng and Qin Heng went to the study.
For some things, it is easier to communicate with the female elders on both sides.
In the living room, only Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Jiang were left.
Mrs. Qin naturally saw that Jiang had something to say, "Sister Jiang, if you have something to say, just say it."
"It's like this, A Li and A Sheng are both good kids. I am also very satisfied with A Sheng. But, the Empress Dowager summoned her last night. I believe Sister Gu also knows that our A Li saved Xie Zhan that year..." Jiang felt particularly uncomfortable when she mentioned this, but she had to mention it.
Before she could finish, Madam Qin interrupted her, "I know about this. I've also asked Ah Sheng, and we both don't think it's a big deal. There are so many great doctors in the world, we can find a doctor for Ah Li and ask for medicine, and she'll definitely be able to cure her. Even if Ah Li is truly infertile, if the two children are willing, we can adopt one from one of their brothers, which shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing this, Jiang was completely relieved. She had previously thought fiercely that if the Qin family refused to agree, at worst, they would cling to the Xie family. Her daughter was unable to bear children because of saving Xie Zhan, so how could the Xie family just call off the engagement? So what if the Empress Dowager had granted the marriage? Did that mean she could be unreasonable?
Well, now that this issue is resolved, they can happily discuss their marriage.
The Qin family is not arrogant, and the marriage between the two families is arranged through discussion between the two parties.
Because the Empress Dowager had stipulated that the two families must marry within two months, which was a very tight timeline, Jiang decided that as soon as she got the engagement letter and the token of marriage from the Xie family, she would immediately send the engagement letter to the Qin family and ask them to match the horoscopes and the date.
