Chapter 66 Sister, you are so lucky
She didn't even dare to think about it. Ah He has always been a well-behaved person, and she would never meet a man when she was alone. Wang glanced at Lu Huaihe's confident look and was speechless for a moment.
"If Madam is worried, you can ask Ah He in person before making a decision."
Wang was afraid that he would think too much and hurriedly said, "Lord Lu, I am not going to refuse, but this matter concerns Ah He's happiness in the second half of her life. I believe you also know..."
In the best years of a woman's life, she can't make a mistake again.
Lu Huaihe replied, "Nothing."
He has been waiting for so many years, so what if a few more days?
Su Ronghai looked at the many gifts displayed on the side, the South China Sea pearl necklace, the flowing glass cup, the amber cup... The most valuable one is the jade ruyi, which is clear and transparent and worth a fortune.
The mansion was not short of these items, but what shocked him was that Lu Huaihe was so generous?
Wang looked at the treasures and breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Lu should take these things back first. It won't be too late to send them back after Ah He agrees."
"Yes, yes, you haven't even finished your relationship with Ah He yet, but you're in a hurry to send the betrothal gifts. Isn't that a bit bad?" Su Ronghai's tone was particularly cautious, for fear that he would say something wrong and displease Lu Huaihe.
It was naturally good that he was willing to ask Ah He to marry her. Both the Su family and Ah He were favored, so they naturally had to be treated with care.
Lu Huaihe explained, "These are just the gifts I brought with me today. They are for meeting Lord Su and his wife. As for the betrothal gifts for Ah He, they are still being packed. When the time comes, I may have to trouble Madam to vacate six courtyards in the courtyard to store the betrothal gifts."
Six courtyards to store the betrothal gifts?
Su Ronghai and Wang were secretly shocked again. They knew that Lu Huaihe's family was wealthy and he had the support of the eldest princess. He never cared about gold, silver and jewelry, but he didn't need to store six courtyards. Wasn't it that the entire Su family would be used to store the betrothal gifts?
Wang was afraid that if Ah He and Lu Huaihe were to get married, the betrothal gifts would be piled up in the mansion and would attract the attention of the two concubines. She was silent for a moment and said, "Ah He has another courtyard. When the time comes, just show us the betrothal gift list, go through the formalities, and send everything over."
"Okay."
Seeing that the two elders had no objection, Lu Huaihe thought that since he wanted to marry Ah He, he should buy a separate mansion for the wedding, which would be the exclusive territory of the two of them.
After thinking about it, he stood up and said goodbye to Su Ronghai and the others.
As soon as he left, Su Lian pulled Su Yun from behind the flower window to the hall. When they saw Lu Huaihe's dashing figure leaving, they stared at him.
"Father, what is Lord Lu doing here?"
Wang gave them a cold glance, and saw that the two of them did not address her, and her face was somewhat unhappy.
When Ah He married Lu Yanxiu, she was the first legitimate daughter of Su Ronghai, and was doted on. Her dowry was also prepared by him personally, and most of the treasures in the mansion were taken away. Now that
Su Yun and Su Lian are of the right age, and are talking about marriage, the two concubines are discussing that they should give the same dowry as Su He did at the time, because they often complained and made trouble in front of Su Ronghai about this. Fortunately, he could distinguish between the main and the secondary, and the legitimate and illegitimate, and did not take it seriously. However, the two concubines and the young ladies thought that Wang was whispering behind their backs, so both sides did not deal with it.
"Lord Lu's coming is naturally a happy event." She said coldly.
When Su Yun heard about the happy event, her eyes lit up immediately, but she hid it well after a moment.
"Happy event?" Su Lian pulled Su Ronghai's sleeve and asked tentatively, "Is Lord Lu really here to ask for my sister's hand in marriage?"
Su Ronghai smiled happily, stroking his beard with great pride, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect your sister to have such a fate? Madam, I will definitely go to the ancestral hall to burn a few more incense sticks to our ancestors and thank them for blessing the Su family?" Wang
smiled and said yes.
Su Lian smiled playfully and looked at Su Yun deeply. The two sisters had different thoughts.
Sister?
Su Lian usually only got close to Su Yun. The two were one year apart in age and had called each other sisters since childhood. Who else could be the sister that her father was talking about except her? Could it be Su He?
Although she had a divorce letter in hand, she was just an abandoned wife that Lu Yanxiu didn't want. How could Lord Lu marry such a person?
Su Lian leaned over and whispered in Su Yun's ear: "Sister, you are so lucky."
Su Yun bit her lip, her eyes moved slightly.
There is always someone to pass
on messages in the capital. Liu's ears soon heard that Lu Huaihe brought gifts to propose marriage.
She had just come out of Tingyuxuan and saw the little grandson who was born a few days ago and had black spots all over his body. His face was gloomy and his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"The young master is still young, and the maids are very tight-lipped. As long as we refuse to see visitors, the black spots will never be leaked." Mrs. Yang glanced at Liu and spoke carefully. "
So what if he is young? So what if he is still in swaddling clothes? Can we keep it a secret from everyone? Liu Qiuqiu also said nonsense that she dreamed of a golden dragon flying in the sky when she was pregnant. I think she is also lying! This child was born with almost half of his body covered with black spots. It is unknown. We, the Lu family, will never keep such an unknown person!"
Liu had some injuries from the last cold, and she needed to walk with a cane. As soon as she thought of the glimpse she had just taken inside, she could not help but look away, and her hands clenched the cane tightly.
First, Lu Zhili was imprisoned and in trouble, and then, Liu Qiuqiu gave birth to a son with black spots. Could it be that God still wants to destroy their Lu family?
Looking at the cold and deserted mansion, Liu couldn't help but think of the time when the Lu family was prosperous, even the powerful and noble in the capital had to give them some face. Although that face was gained by the eldest princess' marriage, it was also because of the ability of the men of their Lu family!
Now, some are dead, some are gone, and the only one who can manage the Lu family is this old skeleton!
Liu was really heartbroken. Seeing that the Lu family was getting further and further away from making a comeback, she felt that life was even more difficult.
"Lord Lu went to the Su family this morning with some things to propose marriage." Mrs. Yang said softly.
"The Su family only has two concubines, how could he be interested in them?" Mrs. Liu sneered.
"Who knows?"
When Yanxiu got married, Lu Huaihe, as an elder, came to watch the ceremony and gave a lot of money. Today he is preparing to get married, and Lu Yanxiu should return the favor.
It's just... if he returns too much, the family can't afford it, and if he returns too little, it would be against the rules.
Mrs. Liu carefully calculated her private treasury in her heart, and calmed down a little. Fortunately, she managed to let Zhaoyang keep half of the dowry, so they could be rich for several years. Since it is a private treasury, other people can't know.
"Grandma! Grandma!"
Lu Yanxiu's voice came from behind, and Liu stopped and looked back. Seeing that he was not in a good mood, he said anxiously: "Sun'er suddenly remembered that Su He's brother had a strange disease when he was young. I heard that he went out of the capital to find an old immortal, and he was cured after half a month. Otherwise... we also go to ask the old immortal to take a look?"
Lu Yanxiu was determined that no one in the capital could cure the black spots. He was afraid that if the disease was not cured, it would spread out and make a big fuss, so that he could not raise his head!
