Chapter 15: No worries every year, all wishes come true
Lu Qiaoxiao pulled Lu Shiyou to sit down and asked him about his well-being.
It's nothing more than whether you eat well, sleep well, or are your superiors giving you trouble?
Lu Shiyou shook his head.
Lu Qiaoxiao stared at his clear and stupid eyes for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was no sign of lying in his eyes.
At this time, my younger brother had just entered the officialdom. Being able to receive the protection of a powerful official like Shen Yuheng when he first entered the official career, his future path would definitely be much smoother.
"Sister, don't worry. The Prime Minister is strict, but he still takes good care of me. I often stay up late to read books when I am sorting out the palace records. It was Prime Minister Shen who ordered people to prepare a bed and bedding for me. The food is also very good. Prime Minister Shen often invites me to eat with him."
Lu Qiaoxiao's mind moved slightly, and he pushed the teacup in front of him and asked seriously: "What does Prime Minister Shen like about you?"
Before the person opposite could boast and answer, she continued:
"You have received such favor from him, so you must repay him well."
"I don't ask for you to rise to the top or get promoted, I just ask for you to be safe and happy all the time."
Lu Shiyou pursed his lips and looked away uncomfortably: "Sister, when did you become so cheesy? Didn't you say before that the glory of our three mothers in Yong'an Marquis Mansion depends on me?"
"I'm not used to you suddenly saying this." Lu Shiyou sneered, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Ever since he entered the Hanlin Academy, he has followed the teachings of his mother and elder sister, working diligently and being careful in his conduct.
I think it was because the Prime Minister saw his potential that he transferred him to his side.
Now, because of Prime Minister Shen, others have to look up to him.
Lu Qiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "Because my mother and sister's greatest wish is for you to be healthy. Wealth and glory are secondary."
"Mother is in heaven and will bless us." She thought of the dark time in the Pei family, turned her head away with some reluctance, and wiped her face with a handkerchief.
"What?" Lu Shiyou's eyes widened. "Mom is still alive and well. What heaven? What blessing? Sister, are you stupid?"
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes went dark, and she had forgotten again and again that her mother was still alive in this life.
This life is completely different from the previous one.
"Mom just went to Qingcheng Mountain to visit relatives. What nonsense are you talking about, sister?" Lu Shiyou looked puzzled, holding his forehead with his hands, feeling quite helpless.
Yes, Sister Xu was seriously ill.
Otherwise, how could she suddenly do such a shocking thing as breaking off the engagement with the Shangshu Mansion?
You know, in the past, even if Mr. Pei farted, her sister would think it smelled good.
Lu Qiaoxiao lowered his eyes, chuckled softly twice, and two tears rolled down, wetting his sleeves.
In her previous life, not long after she got married, her mother's health was already very weak.
He had been sick for many years and was weak, but he died after Lu Shiyou's tragic death on the official road.
Everyone said that she was the calamity that killed her mother and brother.
In this life, she must not repeat the same mistakes.
"How long has our mother been in Qingcheng Mountain?" Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes showed some thought.
Lu Shiyou was a little uncomfortable when he saw his elder sister suddenly become serious.
My mother just went back to her parents' home in Qingxiushan to take care of my grandmother for half a year.
How come you even forgot this?
"Sister, Grandmother had a headache, so it was Grandmother's personal aunt who came to Beijing to look for Mother. Mother didn't want to stay at home and stare at Aunt Wang every day, so she just went."
"Aunt Caiping?" Lu Qiaoxiao had an impression of this name. She was his mother's wet nurse.
When my mother married my father, Aunt Caiping was the first one to disagree.
The reason is that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has already declined, but because it has a noble family background, a lot of bad rules still need to be followed.
For example, my maternal grandfather's family was a famous wealthy businessman in the Qingcheng Mountain area. Merchants had money and food, but they did not care about the cumbersome etiquette of officials.
My mother grew up in such a free atmosphere. If she married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, she would suffer.
Lu Qiaoxiao took a deep breath and didn't pursue the matter any further. She looked at her brother steadily and said, "I miss mother. I will write a letter to her when I get home today."
Lu Shiyou nodded with a blazing gaze: "It's up to you."
He held the teacup, took a few sips, and his eyes fell on Lu Qiaoxiao again.
He had something on his mind that he had been wanting to ask for a long time, and now he couldn't hold it back any longer: "Sister, you broke off your engagement with Second Master Pei. Did you fall in love with someone else?"
Lu Qiaoxiao was slightly startled: "Why would you think that?"
"You liked Pei Jinxuan so much before, and for such a long time, how could you change your mind overnight?" Lu Shiyou said as a matter of course.
"Although I've never liked him, the second young master of the Pei family's disdain for our family is clearly written on his face, and yet you used to follow him around like a lapdog."
Lu Qiaoxiao drank water strategically, his eyes wandering. When he looked up again, his face was sincere: "I suddenly realized that he is not a good match. Do you believe it?"
Lu Shiyou nodded without a doubt: "You finally understand. A man who is entangled with other women before getting married is not worth having."
"Besides, with such a good thing right in front of me, how could I possibly look down on Pei Jinxuan!"
Lu Qiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously: "Okay? Right now?"
Lu Shiyou looked at her with a look of disappointment and whispered, "Shen Yuheng, Prime Minister, isn't it okay?"
Lu Qiaoxiao's pupils suddenly shrank. This brat is so arrogant, how dare he have such ambitions?
How could she reach the moon high in the sky?
Inevitably, the figure standing before her tombstone with a compassionate and empty expression came into her mind, and she felt as if a gourd was pressing down on her chest.
I can't breathe.
She slapped Lu Shiyou on the back of the head: "What are you thinking about every day, you little brat? Prime Minister Shen is your benefactor and your noble man."
"Then why can't it be my brother-in-law?" Lu Shiyou looked at her pitifully.
According to rumors, Shen Yuheng is ruthless and ruthless, eliminating dissidents and showing no mercy.
But in his opinion, Prime Minister Shen has a good character, a high position and power, and he is not married yet. He can set up his own family at a young age and does not need to be too bound by the clan.
If we ignore the Prime Minister's occasional flaws, such as being a bit old-fashioned and strict, unlike his peers, like a teacher, and not talking much, then he is perfect.
He is a very good person.
Lu Qiaoxiao took a deep breath and rolled his eyes silently.
People just feel sorry for you because you are a small character who is lonely and helpless, and seeing that you are down-to-earth and hardworking, they want to give you a stepping stone.
You, on the other hand, want to dig him back and arrange a marriage for him.
Seeing his sister lowering her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, Lu Shiyou continued, "Did the Prime Minister ask about you before?"
Lu Qiaoxiao raised his eyes: "Hmm?"
"He asked me if you still feel the same way about Mr. Pei Er?"
"Then what?"
"He said that if you decide to get married, he wants me to give you a wedding gift on his behalf. He wishes you many years of peace and happiness, and all your wishes come true."
