Chapter 1035 Family Matters
ughter's small slap landed on him.He awkwardly grasped his daughter's hand and gave a sheepish smile to his mother as an apology."Mother, I'm afraid I really have to go with Liu Dapao. This escort is...Jia Yin's purpose has been accomplished, although it has caused some damage to her reputation.
She didn't care though, being feared was better than being bullied. 。Besides, she wouldn't worry about not getting married. 。It wasn't until after the third princess had reveled in her triumph for a night that she finally realized that Jia Yin hadn't been betrothed yet, and began to worry about her best friend not getting married. 。One morning, as soon as she woke up, she sat under the eaves and sighed. 。"If I had known this, I would have let Caiyun fight yesterday directly. Why did you even compare yourself to others" 。Now I'm afraid there wouldn't be a good family in Xindu willing to marry you. 。"
Jia Yin was amused by her and laughed, replying, “Just rest assured, at worst I’ll marry to Quanzhou. No one there will know how fierce my temper is” 。"Oh, that's a good idea too!" The third princess actually agreed, listening with a smile. "Then, I'll make you up beautifully so that you can get married in style." 。Jia Yin didn't want the conversation to keep revolving around marriage. She was young and had a lot of life left to live. 。Just as he was about to change the subject, suddenly a young eunuch ran over to report, "Princess, Young Master Lu is here." 。"Jia Yin's eyes flashed, and she stood up and said, "Lu Ge probably misses you and came to comfort you. " 。I won't disturb you guys, I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going to catch up on some sleep. 。"Go, go. Have someone bring you lunch at noon." 。The third princess waved her hand and, with a twirl of her skirt, went to greet the visitor. 。Jia Yin turned and went back to the side hall, closed the door, and instructed Shui Ling and Shui Yun a few words. Then she entered the space. 。The previous batch of emerald cucumbers has already ripened, just waiting for the Golden Sand Beach garden to open these days, and then these emerald cucumbers will have a cover-up. 。At that time, some gifts should be sent to the Liu family, Shuyuan, Jia family, Gu family, Houfu, and the palace here. 。The little fox had already opened a jade gourd, its small head almost reaching into the gourd, eating happily. 。The little green snakes rarely got together like this, and even they took a few bites, almost getting their scales stained red by the melon juice. 。Jia Yin also got a piece, and while eating, she chatted with the little fox and snake. 。Of course, she was mostly talking, but the little fox occasionally chirped a few times, and the green snake flicked its tongue in response, showing its enthusiastic support.Inside the side hall next to them, the third princess blushed slightly and instructed the palace maids to bring Lu Zong's favorite tea and snacks. 。Princess Lu, it seems, casually asked, “Where is the county princess Why isn't she with the princess At yesterday's summer heat relief banquet, I heard you two had another squabble” The Third Princess, upon hearing this, became excited and laughed, "Brother Lu, since you weren't there, you probably don't know..." 。Jiayin was amazing at the time, those dead girls were so arrogant, but Jiayin shut them down with a single sentence and they couldn't say anything back. Shui Ling also slapped them around, making them scream. 。Haha, simply too refreshing! 。“General Lu also smiled and replied, 'The two poems by County Princess have been praised by many people outside. They are indeed quite good.' " 。The third princess nodded, her expression full of pride, as if she were the one who had written the poem. 。I never expected that, on a daily basis, watching Jiayin bake snacks and cook, even doing business was so skillful, I didn't expect that she would also be good at writing poetry. 。Lu Cong raised his hand to pour tea for the Third Princess and then asked, "Where is the county princess Has she left the palace""No, perhaps she didn't sleep well last night. She heard you were coming over just now, so she went back to make up for her sleep." 。 The third princess waved her hand dismissively, taking a sip of tea from her cup. She found it sweeter than usual... Lu Cong lowered his head, his eyelashes concealing all the emotions in his eyes. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "The melon fields at Suijin Beach should be blooming soon. I'll come back later and bring you two jade melons." 。The third princess smiled shyly, quickly nodded, and replied, "Yes, Jia Yin also said she would take me to the melon garden to eat whatever I want." 。But my father has been keeping me in the palace lately and won't let me leave. 。“As she spoke, she sounded a little dejected, mumbling softly, “Suddenly it feels like both inside and outside the palace are in chaos, life seems so noisy.” 。“It doesn't matter where it’s messy, Princess. Just stay in Zhilan Palace and be at ease,” Lu Cong sipped his tea, gently advising her. 。"
The Third Princess blushed even more and asked, "Brother Lu, Father seems to... want us to get married sooner. What do you think"
After finishing her words, she feared that Lu Zong might misunderstand and quickly added, "If you're not in a hurry, waiting a few more years is fine too."
That's... that's what Father said, I didn't agree to it either. 。Lu Zong didn't raise his head, after a while he replied, "Of course I am following the emperor's order" 。Meanwhile, back at the Earl's mansion, Wan'er was entertaining Madam Jia Er and Madam Liu... 。 Mrs. Jia Er brought a lot of gifts, they were not expensive but very practical. 。She grasped Wan'er's hand and said repeatedly, "Wan'er, when you see the county princess, please be sure to thank her on my behalf." 。"My precious daughter, that silly girl, wherever she goes, I worry constantly, afraid she'll be bullied. 。"This time entering the palace, I don't know how I angered that dead girl from the Lu family. The county princess protected Baozhu and competed with her in poetry, causing everyone to gossip now." 。"I really feel guilty about this!"
Wǎn'er smiled reassuringly, "Auntie, please don't say that. Though I might not be able to truly understand the county princess as her sister-in-law, I can certainly see things clearly..." 。The princess treats her precious jewel like her own younger sister!"Actually, the princess has a good temper, she's just very protective..." 。It's fine if she doesn't know, but yesterday when Baoyu was right in front of her, how could she possibly stand by and watch him suffer 。Mrs. Liu also laughed along, "Indeed, the County Princess is the most filial." 。Even though we don't see each other often, whenever there's a new pastry in the sky, she always has someone deliver a box to me early. 。"As for me, I'd even dream of having a daughter like her. If I could have a girl as wonderful as her, I'd gladly live ten years less." 。Unfortunately, I don't have that good fortune. 。"Haha, you can find a good daughter-in-law and then treat her like your own daughter." 。"If we could marry the county princess into our family, that would be even better!" 。“No, no.” 。It's not that I, as a mother, am being humble; it's truly that my two sons together wouldn't be worthy of the county princess. 。" Everyone laughed. Lady Liu took Wan'er’s hand and whispered, “These people in Xin Du, they have nothing better to do all day but gossip.” 。If you go out and hear people gossiping, don't take it to heart. 。Don't get yourself worked up. 。"If you're really upset, just tell me, auntie will help you get even." 。"Who doesn't have some little troubles They're willing to talk, aren't they At that time, let them take the lead as the protagonists too." 。" It was then that Wan'er understood the true intention of Madam Liu’s visit today. She felt an immense wave of gratitude and warmth in her heart. 。Though there aren't many people moving around the house these days, each and every one is truly trustworthy. 。She had no mother-in-law, and her grandmothers and aunts were not at home either. Occasionally, she would feel uneasy and insecure, feeling a lack of support. Fortunately, her younger sister-in-law was kind and helpful, assisting her a lot. 。Now there's another elder who can lend a hand. 。After thinking about it this way, Wǎn'er said, "Auntie, speaking of which, I do have something important to entrust you with" 。"o joined Li's family for the meal this time, so they arrived early.Including Mr. Zhao and others, Mr. Chiang brought Gu Li, Mr. Wen brought Wen Hai, Mrs. Cui brought Qiong, and there was also Dr. Zhan...
