Chapter 40 Meeting Yang
Lu Lingyun talked with Jiang for a long time and completely gave up the idea of marrying Wang Qiluo to Luo Heng.
It is said that the Wang family has always wanted to marry Wang Qiluo to one of their military disciples, but Wang Qiluo is not interested in those rough men. Jiang and Luo Yang have been on good terms recently, and General Wang has also had more contacts with the Luo family. After considering it for a long time, she felt that the Luo family was also a good family, so she came up with this idea.
Now that Lu Lingyun told her about Luo Heng's character, she immediately excluded Luo Heng from the list of potential son-in-laws.
She only has this one daughter, so she has to be very careful when choosing a son-in-law.
Even after Lu Lingyun told her those secrets, she was still hesitant about whether to tell Yang that her son had a mistress in his private residence.
After all, this matter concerns the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, and it would certainly not look good if it were made public. Furthermore, telling Yang would seem to increase the rift and even affect his daughter's reputation.
The best thing would be for her to just keep quiet and refuse, and just say it's not appropriate.
"Yun'er, you are a person with ideas. How about this? I will go to see Yang tomorrow, and you will go with me?" Jiang said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." Lu Lingyun agreed immediately.
At this time, Wang Qiluo came in with the prepared Honey Crispy Thousand Layer Cake.
Lu Lingyun and Jiang stopped talking at the same time. Jiang asked her trusted nanny to take back the name card without leaving any trace. The two of them looked at Wang Qiluo with a smile.
"Is the snack ready?"
“It smells good and tastes good.”
"You're praising me before we even eat!" Wang Qiluo raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them. "Did you tell them something behind my back?"
"No way!"
Lu Lingyun smiled and pulled Wang Qiluo to sit down. They chatted and laughed together, and tasted the honey crispy thousand-layer cake made by Wang Qiluo.
Wang Qiluo always felt that these two people seemed to be hiding a little secret from her. "Why do I feel that you two are more like mother and daughter?"
"I have always regarded my aunt as my godmother."
"Yes, Yun'er has always been my daughter."
The two smiled at each other and said nothing else.
The next day.
Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Yunshuo early in the morning.
Cheng Yunshuo has gotten much better under Qiu Ling's care. Now no one in the mansion mentions Xing Dairong anymore, and everyone pretends that she never existed.
When they came out of the Yaoguang Pavilion, Aunt Qiu excitedly whispered to Lu Lingyun, "Madam, the prince agreed to accept me last night."
Cheng Yunshuo said that Xing Dairong was hit too hard.
She usually made small or big fuss, but it never touched his bottom line.
Now she actually ran away with a stranger. For a moment, Cheng Yunshuo felt heartbroken.
Last night, Aunt Qiu took advantage of Cheng Yunshuo's most vulnerable moment to fill his heart in time, and the tenderness and childhood love of the past immediately returned.
Cheng Yunshuo also completely gave up the bottom line that he had been holding on to for Xing Dairong.
Since she doesn't want him, there is no need for him to keep his promise to her.
Even if Xing Dairong was just acting, pretending, it is impossible to forgive him.
Some things are not funny even as a joke, but once you do them, there is no turning back.
When Lu Lingyun heard this, he smiled at Aunt Qiu and said, "Congratulations, Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu, you must hurry up and have a baby boy for your family soon."
"These are all blessings given by the mistress. I will definitely cherish them."
Lu Lingjun asked Aunt An to send some rewards to Aunt Qiu, and asked the doctor to carefully prescribe medicine for Cheng Yunshuo. He also sent someone to the Duwei's Mansion to ask Cheng Yunshuo for a few days' leave. After everything in the mansion was properly organized, he ordered the carriage to leave the mansion. .
Today, Jiang asked her to meet Luo Heng's mother, Yang.
Wangjiang Tower.
A famous sake house in Kyoto.
When Lu Lingyun arrived, Jiang and Yang had already arrived.
She followed the servant's instructions and went up to the private room on the second floor, where Yang and Jiang were chatting animatedly.
"Winter is coming soon. Haven't you started buying winter clothes yet?"
"It started. For some reason, this year, the silk in Jiangnan is so expensive that my wife told me not to waste money and just buy some cloth to make it." Jiang said, "Qiluo also said that she has a lot of clothes and there is no need to make silk."
"How can that be? Qiluo is the only daughter of your family. I will send some good silk to her to make her winter clothes. No matter who is wronged, your Qiluo should not be wronged. She is our future daughter-in-law."
As soon as Yang finished speaking, the smile on Jiang's face froze. At this moment, Lu Lingyun walked in.
"Don't bother Madam Luo. It just so happened that I found a few pieces of satin that would suit Qiluo a while ago. I was thinking of making winter clothes for Qiluo and wanted to give her a surprise, but you two started talking about it first."
Lu Lingjun came in with a gentle smile, her tone neither slow nor slow, and her manner generous and graceful.
Yang, who was in the room, was immediately attracted by the sight of Lu Lingyun, who was dressed simply but was extraordinary in every way. Lu Lingyun had a dignified and elegant appearance, with relaxed facial features. She was wearing a simple and elegant lake blue autumn outfit, a waistcoat with tasseled colorful threads on her shoulders, two jade hairpins on her head, and jade bracelets on her wrists. She had no extra decorations, but every move she made exuded an indescribable elegance.
Even among the daughters of officials, there were obvious distinctions. The daughters of noble families were more noble than the daughters of ordinary civil servants.
The mistresses of noble families all came with imperial titles. For example, Lu Lingyun's mother-in-law, Qin, was a lady with imperial title in the Marquis's Mansion.
Of course Lu Lingyun is not there now, but if there is a flower viewing party or dinner in the palace, Qin can take her with her.
When Cheng Yunshuo inherits the title in the future, Lu Lingyun, as the mistress of the house, will naturally be promoted to a noble lady.
Unlike the wives of ordinary civil officials, only those who have achieved a certain level in official duties or made great contributions can apply for imperial decrees.
Behind this wall, there is a clear distinction between the nobles and the civil officials.
The Yang family is only a fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing, which is not a low position, but it cannot be compared with the noble families.
"Hey, this is..."
"That's what I told you. Lady Lu, the wife of the Prince of Ningyang, is also my goddaughter, Qiluo's godsister Lingyun."
"No wonder she is the wife of the prince of the Marquis's Mansion. She is different from others at first glance!" Yang's mouth was as sweet as honey as she praised Lu Lingyun wholeheartedly.
"Mrs. Luo is truly a very charming lady. I have often heard my godmother talk about you and have long wanted to visit you. Now that I have met you, you are indeed as warm and forthright as the rumors say. With you in the Luo family, the family will surely prosper."
"Your little mouth is so sweet."
"I'm speaking from the heart. I don't need any compliments."
Yang couldn't stop laughing when she heard this. Her eyes fell on Lu Lingyun and she couldn't stop looking. "No wonder they say that the ladies from wealthy families in the capital are so outstanding. We really came too late and missed a good girl like Lingyun!"
"Who said it wasn't true? If I had a son and the illegitimate sons in my family were too young, I would be the first one to get it!" Jiang said.
"Then I am lucky. Although I missed the chance to marry the Ningyang Marquis's wife, I was still able to marry the daughter of General Wang!"
