Several children were called Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao when they were born. After the full-month banquet, the names of the children had to be chosen.
Marquis Xuanping saw that the full-month banquet for the four children was held in the Marquis Xuanping's mansion, and Lu Xiuyuan was young and promising, and his daughter was so promising.
If he only had one child, he would have let the child take his surname without a second thought, so that the child could inherit his family title.
But I didn't expect that my son-in-law was so capable and had the title of Duke of Zhenguo waiting to be inherited.
So he decided to let Dabao be like Lu and inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo, and Sanbao take his surname and inherit the title of Marquis.
As for Erbao and Sibao, the two little girls, it is better for them to take Lu Xiuyuan's surname. Girls from a duke's mansion are always more noble than those from a marquis' mansion.
Lu Xiuyuan had already made preparations for all four children to live in the Marquis's mansion, so he had always left the naming to Marquis Xuanping. He did not expect that his father-in-law would be so considerate of him. He would have to be more filial to Marquis Xuanping in the future.
When the child was five months old, Lu Xiuyuan and Dan Ruo held a grand wedding at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
The Emperor and Empress were present in person, it was an honor of the highest magnitude, and no one dared to say a word. Before the wedding even took place, they already had four children.
Lu Xiuyuan brought a huge "dowry" to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, which included the emperor's reward, his own spoils of war, and precious items that Princess Yan Yang had picked out from her own dowry.
All the women in the capital were envious and jealous. Dan Ruo was so lucky that she could be found after being abducted as a maid. Moreover, even though her face was disfigured, she could still find a son-in-law like Lu Xiuyuan.
Nowadays, there is probably no other husband in the capital who is as young, handsome and powerful as Lu Xiuyuan.
Dan Ruo was wearing a red veil and confidently handed her hand to Lu Xiuyuan. A breeze blew, lifting a corner of the veil, revealing the woman's delicate chin.
Jiang Ru, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who was watching, felt very sad.
Ever since Gong Yan first saw the young man in white from afar, she had secretly liked Lu Xiuyuan for several years.
Because Lu Xiuyuan and Gu Wanru were already married, she had been quietly suppressing her thoughts.
When she learned that Gu Wanru had committed adultery, she was secretly delighted and couldn't wait to ask her mother to arrange a marriage for her and Lu Xiuyuan.
The mother was afraid that Lu Xiuyuan would not come back from the expedition and was unwilling to let him go, so she went on a hunger strike for three days. Then the mother went to see Princess Yan Yang, but unexpectedly the princess rejected her mother.
She didn't understand why. She was the most beautiful woman in the capital, and her father also held a high position. She was depressed for a year.
Now seeing that he was so happy to marry a disfigured noble lady who was found halfway, she wanted to see where she lost.
She waited for the second breeze to blow and pretended to accidentally pull off Danruo's red veil.
Instantly there was a gasp from the crowd.
Jiang Ru also stood there in a daze.
There is such a stunningly beautiful woman in the world. Jiang Ru, the most beautiful woman in the capital, pales in comparison to her. When she raises her eyes, they seem to be twinkling with stars, full of brightness and beauty.
I'm afraid all the men in Beijing would be willing to marry a woman like this.
What's more, knowing that she had just given birth to four children not long ago and had recovered her figure to be so slim, the women who had just given birth also wanted to ask for advice.
The queen gave a wink, and a nanny pulled Jiang Ru away.
Although the emperor was stunned for a moment, he was the emperor and had his own responsibilities. This was the wife of an important minister, not to mention that the queen had just given birth to his eldest son two months ago. The stability of the country was more important. Not all beauties in the world needed to be taken into the harem.
After the ceremony, the bride is escorted to the bridal chamber.
Lu Xiuyuan accompanied Dan Ruo back to the room, prepared food for her, and then went to the front to entertain the guests.
Princess Yanyang and the wife of Marquis Xuanping brought their four children with them to prevent them from crying at night and disturbing the couple's wedding night.
Lu Xiuyuan, reeking of alcohol, was helped into the bridal chamber. Seeing the bride's beauty, everyone became jealous of Lu Xiuyuan and forced him to drink without mercy. It was the emperor who spoke up to save him.
Dan Ruo helped him drink the sobering soup. After Lu Xiuyuan woke up, he looked at Dan Ruo, who was exuding an alluring scent under the candlelight.
He had been holding it in for too long. Even though the female doctor said that Danruo had done a good job in confinement and her body had recovered as before, he still held it in and wanted Danruo to recuperate for a while.
Tonight is so long and so short, and the infinite spring light in the house makes the winter jasmine outside blush.
As for the fact that the Lu family did not attend the wedding banquet, no one mentioned it. After all, the Lu family is no longer a big deal.
General Lu was dismissed from his post, and his concubine's son also lost his official position and was given a sterilizing drug by Gu Wanru. He hasn't been out for a while and is afraid of being embarrassed to attend Lu Xiuyuan's wedding banquet.
The details of Lu Xiuyuan's marriage quickly spread throughout the capital, and the servants of the Lu Mansion naturally became more concerned about their former master's affairs.
Lu Guangzhi was locked in the room and heard the servants talking about how stunningly beautiful the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was.
He knew that Gu Wanru had burned Danruo's face and left a scar. He had noticed that the maid had a good figure and had taken a closer look at her. Then Gu Wanru uncovered the maid's face and showed it to him, and he indeed saw a rather large scar.
Now everyone says that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is as beautiful as an angel, and that is because the scar on her face has been healed.
This reminded him of the time when half of his ear was bitten off. He asked around and learned that the royal family of the neighboring country had a secret medicine that could make dead flesh grow back. Lu Xiuyuan had defeated the neighboring country, so it was natural that he might have this medicine.
He was going to ask General Lu for the medicine for him. He was determined to have his ear reattached. He had carefully stored the half of his ear that was bitten off in an ice cellar.
In this dynasty, people with disabilities are not allowed to serve as officials. If he has no offspring and cannot serve as an official, his life will be ruined.
He waited for the guards to relax late at night, pried open the door lock, and sneaked into General Lu's yard.
Unexpectedly, he saw Sun Mohan's maid also guarding the yard. He realized something was wrong, went up to the roof, lifted the tiles, and saw General Lu and Sun Mohan having sex.
He was cuckolded, and a fire in his heart burned his sanity. He subconsciously crushed the tiles in his hand.
A clear voice came, and General Lu quickly became alert, "Who?"
Lu Guangzhi was discovered. General Lu was extremely embarrassed, and Sun Mohan hid under the quilt and cried.
It was Lu Guangzhi who first broke the awkwardness, completely without any shame:
"Father, I will definitely not tell anyone about this. I have no descendants anyway, so I will give my wife to you. But you must go to Lu Xiuyuan and ask for a precious medicine. This way, the child's ears can be saved."
General Lu was still confused at the moment, so he agreed.
Later on, he didn't dare to go to Lu Xiuyuan, fearing that Princess Yan Yang would fight to the death with him. However, threatened by Lu Guangzhi, he could only muster up the courage and go to Princess Yan Yang to hand over the visiting card.
Princess Yan Yang was busy coaxing her grandson and didn't want to pay attention to him, but she was afraid that he would cause trouble for her son.
So he had him brought in and sent away another matchmaker who came to the door.
