Chapter 12 - See also King Huan
”Your brother has no merit, and your mother can't even afford a decent dowry. ”I'm afraid I'll have to make you suffer when we get married in the future …”
”Mom, you're worrying for nothing.”
Lu Ruoqing interrupted her and comforted her: ”I am a daughter of the Lu family. Naturally, the Lu family would pay for my marriage.
”Motherf * cker, who wouldn't use private money to subsidize their daughter?”
”I don't need any subsidies.” Lu Ruoqing said: ”Later on, keep your dowry silver for yourself, whatever you want to buy, don't leave it for me.”
But Mrs. Gu said, ”How can that be? A girl must have a good dowry. ”
”Mother …”
”Don't worry. Mother's dowry isn't much left, but we'll split it into two. In the future, one for you, one for your brother, and a little more is good as well.”
Lu Ruoqing was unable to say anything, and could only smile: ”Alright, alright, alright, I'll listen to mother.”
Mrs. Gu thought for a moment, then said: ”Since King Huan's Estate is hosting a banquet, there must be a lot of young talents attending. When that happens, you must remember to dress up properly.
Lu Ruoqing refused: ”Mother, I am your little sister. You should find a wife for me first.”
However, the Mrs. Gu said: ”Your brother is a man, there's no need to rush. Once his title advances, with a good future ahead of him, we can discuss marriage easily.”
Lu Ruoqing laughed: ”Be careful that brother says mother is biased.”
Mrs. Gu could not help but laugh as well. Then she continued, ”This sickly me who does not know many people will not be able to help you. ”Therefore, it's better if you hand over your marriage to your grandmother.”
Just leave it to Grandmother!
Lu Ruoqing ridiculed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud.
Grand Lord Yun had always been good at acting.
Normally, he would act like he was biased against her and doted on her.
Even if the Yun Family didn't like her, Lu Zhenger would still pretend to be a harmonious family if he were to hate her in front of others.
Heh heh, a bunch of acting scum!
”Nope.” Lu Ruoqing quickly regained her senses.
Mrs. Gu angrily laughed: ”Mother was talking to you, but I didn't see you agree no matter what, it's really... ”Child, cough cough …”
”Mother, drink some tea.” Lu Ruoqing quickly poured another cup of tea and poured it over.
Mrs. Gu drank a few mouthfuls of tea and recovered quite a bit, ”Alright, everything is fine now.”
Lu Ruoqing said: ”Mother, let's talk after we rest.”
Mrs. Gu held back the itch in her throat and said: ”Just now I told you about writing a letter to your brother, don't forget about it.”
”Alright, I won't forget.”
”Get someone to tell your brother earlier to ask him to take a day off, then he'll accompany you there.”
Lu Ruoqing replied: ”Alright! Tomorrow, I will write a letter to big brother and send it to Songshan Academy. ”
Songshan Academy was currently the number one academy in the capital.
All the students in the capital were proud to be able to go to the Songshan Academy. Even those who didn't like to read books had to try to get close to them.
Those who were able to study at the Pine Mountain Academy were basically the sons and disciples of nobles of the Wealthy and Prominent Class. It was very difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Lu Mubai was also one of the disciples of Pine Mountain Academy.
His appearance was refined and refined, and he had just learned and was well-received by quite a few people in the academy.
The one accompanying him at the table was his best friend, Nian Xi. Nian Xi had sharp eyebrows, big eyes, tall stature, and dressed in a brocade robe.
It was a pity that Nian Xi was not interested in reading.
Not only was he not interested, he even … Reading was a pain for him.
”Sigh …” Nian Xi let out a long, bitter sigh, and cried out: ”It's torture, torture! To be able to read like a mosquito every day is really hard to bear. ”
Lu Mubai couldn't help but tease, ”You're in a bad mood and you're still coming?”
”You think I'm willing?” Nian Xi snorted: ”My father insisted that I come, and said that I have to get to know the young disciples of the capital, or else he would break my legs.”
Speaking of which, Nian Xi immediately became limitless in spirit.
He jumped down from the balcony and walked around Lu Mubai.
Nian Xi blinked his eyes: ”Big Brother Lu, how about we sneak out in the afternoon and ride at the hunting grounds? I've got some good horses, and I'll give you one. ”
After saying that, he added, ”Err … Other than the black cloud, pick whatever else you want. ”
Lu Mubai waved his hand, ”Stop messing around. It's best to wait until the tenth day before descending the mountain. Otherwise, Teacher Wang will find out.”
”Ah …!” Nian Xi screamed.
He hugged his head and shouted, ”Big Brother Lu, just feel sorry for me. Sitting in the academy like this all day long, my butt is going to get cocooned in a cocoon eight hours a day. ”
A manservant came in and replied, ”Young Master, the mansion has sent a letter over.”
”A letter from home?” Worry flashed through Lu Mubai's eyes.
Could it be that his mother's illness had worsened?
He immediately took the letter and quickly took out the letter to read it.
After a moment, Lu Mubai heaved a sigh of relief, ”So it's His Majesty King Huan's banquet. Ruoqing wants to go out to attend and wants me to request a day of leave to go back and accompany him.”
”Ruoqing is going out?!” Nian Xi's eyes were wide and round, shining like the blazing sun.
”Wipe your saliva.” Lu Mubai said.
”Eh? ”Nope.” Nian Xi touched the corner of his mouth and felt that he had been fooled, and realised that he was being mocked.
He also laughed and did not think much of it, ”It's a feast of the His Majesty King Huan anyway, it must be really lively, I want to go too.”
Lu Mubai asked, ”What are you going to do?”
”Sigh!” You're the only one who has a sister. ” Nian Xi pretended not to be happy.
He shouted: ”Such a big banquet, A Ying will definitely go out, I have to go back and accompany him.”
