Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 40 The Heart

   Fang's house?

  Lu Mingyu frowned slightly.

   In the previous life, Shen Lan was married to the second son of the Fang family.

  The Fang family has been a famous scholar since the previous dynasty, and there have been several famous scholars. The second son of Fang is the leader of this generation, and he passed the test of two-pound jinshi at the age of seventeen.

  The Shen family and the Fang family are distant relatives. When Shen Shilang was young, he studied at Fang's house. Therefore, the two families of Shen Fang have a close relationship and are quite friendly.

   The second son of Fang is young and talented, and the Fang family privately disclosed their intention to marry, and Mrs. Shen, Shilang Shen, was naturally satisfied with this future son-in-law.

   In the previous life, after Shen Lan and the wedding ceremony, the Shen family and the Fang family decided to marry.

   It turned out that Lu Fei lost a step too late. Before he could come to the door, his sweetheart had already decided on a marriage. In the previous life, Lu Fei could only watch Shen Lan's marriage with a sad heart.

  Lu Mingyu asked in a low voice, "Has the Fang family officially proposed marriage?"

   "That's not true." Shen Lan replied softly: "I just wrote a letter to my father privately, revealing the intention of marrying. My mother's second son was full of praise, and he even mentioned it in front of me yesterday."

  Lu Mingyu stared closely at Shen Lan: "Sister Shen, are you willing to marry into the Fang family?"

  Shen Lan raised her head and looked at Lu Mingyu.

   "If you like the Fang family, I won't tell you." Lu Mingyu said slowly: "If you have someone else in your heart and don't want to marry the second son of Fang, I will tell you something."

  How smart is Shen Lan, she immediately sensed a hint of meaning, her body trembled slightly, and hope flashed in her eyes: "Xiaoyu, what do you want to say?"

  Lu Mingyu didn't go around the corner: "Second brother expressed his intentions to my father last night. My father has already complied with him. After you have passed the ceremony, you will invite the official media to come to the door to propose marriage."

   "I just don't know, do you like the second brother in your heart?"

Shen Lan looked like weeping, and choked up: "Xiaoyu, I have always had him in my heart. I hoped that he would come to propose marriage. But he fought with the army and was not in the capital. The Fang family has been here for half a year. I wrote back a few times. My father and mother are very satisfied with the second son of the other party."

   "I'm just afraid they're getting married..."

   Before he could finish speaking, his eyes were already red.

  Lu Mingyu also sighed softly, stretched out his hand to embrace Shen Lan in his arms, and whispered to comfort: "You don't cry yet. The marriage has not yet been decided, and everything still has room to turn around."

After thinking about it, he said: "Don't ask the official media. Tomorrow, I will let my father come to the house to propose marriage, for example, the family will be one step ahead. When the time comes, my uncle and aunt will always ask you, and you will show your heart. Uncle and aunt have always loved you, will never stop you."

  Fang's family is not false, but the Lu family is the upstart of the Wei Dynasty and the palace of Xingyang.

   Although Lu Fei was only an adopted son, he was brave and good at fighting. In the future, the Xingyang Army will definitely be passed on to him. Is it better than a new jinshi?

  Lu Mingyu said a few words, Shen Lan's heart suddenly brightened, and she smiled at Lu Mingyu: "You are right. No matter what, I have to fight for my lifelong event."

  Lu Mingyu stretched out her hand and wiped away the tears for Shen Lan: "Don't think about it for now. Today is a good day for you and your wife, and soon a bunch of famous ladies will come to watch the ceremony. Don't frown on the happy day."

  Shen Lan bit her lip and smiled.

   Button Button!

  The maid knocked on the door and reported loudly, "Miss Qiqi, Miss Qiao is here."

  Shen Lan quickly sorted out her appearance, made sure she was dignified again and again, and then opened her mouth and said, "Miss Qiao please come in."

  …

   After a while, Qiao Wan arrived gracefully.

  The generals are divided into factions and do not communicate closely with each other. The civil servants were intriguing in private, but on the surface they seemed to be united. Shen Shilang loves his daughter Jijian, and the girl from the Qiao family came early.

  Lu Mingyu and Qiao Wan don't have much friendship, and they have met several times.

   Qiao Wan greeted with a smile: "I've come early enough, I never thought you would come earlier than me."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "I am a fan today, so I should have come early."

After the    greeting, Qiao Wan personally presented a congratulatory gift, two excellent palace forgings. This palace forging is fine, smooth and elegant in color, and the cost is high. The point is that money can't buy it.

  Shen Lan knew the goods, of course, and thanked him with a smile.

   Qiao Wan smiled reservedly: "These two palace forgings were given to me by the Queen's Empress."

  Lu Mingyu looked at Qiao Wan.

  The grandfather was the first assistant of the dynasty, the aunt was the queen, and the cousin was the descended prince. With such a prominent family background, it is inevitable for Qiao Wan to be arrogant and proud.

  Qiao Wan has been secretly promising to the second prince, and she is full of confidence that she will be the second prince. Unexpectedly, the imperial decree of the emperor's marriage did not reach Qiao's house, but to the Guangpinghou mansion.

   Qiao Wan was too sad and fell ill. Soon, the family chose another marriage for her. Qiao Wan died of a serious illness within two years of her marriage, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

The word    love is really harmful.

  Lu Mingyu had no bad impression of Qiao Wan, but secretly felt sorry for her.

  Qiao Wan turned her head and saw Lu Mingyu looking at her, she couldn't help but startled: "Why does Miss Lu Si keep looking at me?"

  Lu Mingyu replied with a casual smile: "I'm thinking, Miss Qiao San is so beautiful, I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry a beautiful woman in the future."

   Qiao Wan blushed at the joke, and opened her mouth without thinking: "Miss Lu Si is about to get married. Maybe, the imperial edict to bestow marriage will come soon."

  … This topic is not funny at all.

  Lu Mingyu laughed and quickly changed the topic.

   Immediately after, Jin Can'er, Meng Yunluo, Zhao Yu and others came one by one.

  Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

   When the ladies get together, how can they not compare?

  Jin Can'er glanced at Lu Mingyu.

  Lu Mingyu wears simple clothes on weekdays, mostly in military uniforms. To be a compliment today, I deliberately wore spring clothes. Her long hair was half-pulled, with a bead hairpin in her hairpin.

  What a coincidence, Jin Can'er also wore a pearl hairpin today. Moreover, the bead hairpin was inlaid with a huge and round Dongzhu, which made the cheeks and eyes sparkle.

Jin Can'er deliberately supported the huge bead hairpin on the temple, and said coquettishly, "Look at this bead hairpin, it was made by the best craftsmen specially hired by my father. The workmanship is exquisite, and you can't find it outside. Woolen cloth!"

  The crowd pouted in their hearts and praised dutifully.

  Lu Mingyu smiled leisurely: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. Jin Shangshu dispatched one or two craftsmen, which is easy. Not to mention a pearl hairpin, it is nothing to build a garden in private."

  Jin Can'er: "…"

  It is not a secret that Jin Shangshu privately dispatched craftsmen to build gardens for the Jin family. However, being called out like this in public, Jin Can'er, who is not too thick-skinned, couldn't help it.

  Meng Yunluo, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, deliberately covered her mouth and smiled: "Lu Si, it's interesting that you said that. Could it be that Jin Shangshu really did something like this?"

  Lu Mingyu glanced at him with a half-smile, "Just casually joking. If you hear about it outside, the Marquis of Guangping often buys handsome servants into the house, so don't take it seriously."

  Meng Yunluo: "…"
