Volume Two, Chapter 21, Mother-in-law watching son-in-law
Li Shier left excitedly with the silver, but Yang Cong sat there with his brows locked, without saying a word for a long time.
Someone robbed his fiancée from him, and no one would feel happy after hearing this news. Fortunately, according to Li Shier's understanding, the Lu family does not seem to be interested in this marriage. At least, it has been more than a year since now, and the Lu family has not agreed to come to the Lu family to go to the Lu family to date Lu Ling'er.
Yang Cong also learned about the situation of the Xianning Marquis' Mansion with Li Shier. This Xianning Marquis was not a nobleman of Yongle or a nobleman of Hongwu, but a royal family of Zhengde Dynasty. In other words, there was no huge force behind it.
However, the Xianning Hou Qiuluan was quite good at engaging in the camp. It was a clear proof that he wanted to marry the Lu family. Not only that, he also found himself the position of general of Ganzhou Town, Xingdusi, Shaanxi.
At this moment, there are not many nobles who hold real power and have heavy troops. Generally, nobles are on duty in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, nominally in charge of the garrison, but in fact they cannot transfer a single soldier.
A nobleman with no background can do so well. Such an opponent is really a headache.
He was frowning and pondering, and the guard suddenly came to report that someone had come to Nie Bao and Lord Nie's mansion.
Yang Cong thought Nie Bao was just sending someone to give him some advice and encourage him, but unexpectedly, Nie Bao's reply was to ask him to go to the mansion to chat if he had no time.
Nie Bao might want to know Xu Jie's recent situation, but Yang Cong is so confused that he is not in the mood to talk to Nie Bao about Xu Jie's affairs.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Konghui also sent someone to reply, which roughly meant that he would study his homework well and strive to get a good score in the exam.
He was in a mess now, so he didn't have the time to review his homework.
He just wanted to go to the Lu Mansion to ask what Lu Song and his wife meant, but the Lu Mansion had not sent anyone to reply for a long time, which made him feel so chaotic.
As the saying goes, "Waiting for a long time will make people ugly." After a "long" wait, the people from the Lu family finally arrived. The reply from Lu Song and his wife was to ask him to go to the house to chat tomorrow afternoon and after the hour of You.
What exactly does the Lu Song and his wife mean?
Yang Cong suffered a hard day in the inn. The next afternoon, when the You hour arrived, he set off with a few guards. In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived outside the gate of the Lu Mansion.
After a while of communication from the concierge, an old man in charge ran out and led him to the mansion with great enthusiasm.
The Lu family was indeed deeply favored by the emperor. Their mansion was even larger than the Chengyi Bo Mansion, and the decoration inside was quite luxurious, which was many times better than the Chengyi Bo Mansion.
Yang Cong followed the old man in charge and turned left and right, and after more than a moment, he came to the Lu Mansion's inner house.
At this time, a middle-aged couple was already sitting in the lobby waiting.
Needless to ask, these two must be Lu Song and his wife. Yang Cong went up and bowed: "My junior Yang Cong, you have met Lord Lu, Mrs. Lu."
Lu Song stared at him with a serious face and looked up and down, but without saying a word, Li next to him said with a smile: "Oh, you are Qingfeng, you are really handsome. Sit, sit quickly, come and have tea."
Is this handsomeness used to describe a man?
Yang Cong was stunned for a moment, bowed and thanked him again, and then slowly sat in the guest seat.
Lu Song didn't speak, but Li looked very interested in him. As soon as he sat down, Li asked with interest: "Linger said that your family is a famous wealthy businessman in Quanzhou Prefecture, and he is very rich. How much money does your family have?"
Dizzy, this!
As soon as Li said this, Lu Song had a black line on his face, and Yang Cong almost became confused on the spot.
Is this too direct?
Why is Li talking like Lu Ling'er? He is very naive!
How to say it, this question is really beyond Yang Cong's expectations.
He thought for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "I don't know very well how many juniors are there, because my grandfather and my father have always been taking care of my property. I guess there should be one million taels of silver."
"Wow, I can't even take out so much money for such money." Li Shi was so excited that she danced with excitement, and almost jumped up from the chair.
Seeing this, Lu Song couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Madam, how many times have you told you that you should not call me Kenger in front of outsiders, but respectfully call him the emperor."
Li curled his lips and said, "Qingfeng is not an outsider. By the way, Qingfeng, I heard that you had already passed the provincial examination last month. How about it? Are you sure to get the gold list this time?"
Yang Cong understood now that Lu Ling'er must have inherited the genes of Li. The mother and daughter not only look like each other, but also have a very similar personality. They speak as if they are heartless and don't use their brains very much.
This mother-in-law is so coaxing. Yang Cong said "honestly": "When in Jinling, the deputy examiner, Mr. Zou, once told me that the juniors' grades should be fine if they don't mention the top three in the first and second grades."
When Li heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "That's great, doesn't that mean that you will get married to Ling'er in April next year."
When Lu Song heard this, he fainted after a mistake.
Yang Cong said with the flow: "Thank you, aunt for your fulfillment."
When Li heard this, he covered his mouth and chuckled: "You're welcome, you're welcome."
Seeing this, Lu Song couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke his forehead. This woman is really a headache!
As soon as we met, we just said a few words and decided on our daughter's marriage. Is there anyone so hasty?
However, he did not dare to stop him. It was not him who was the one who was in charge of this family, but Li. He also knew that if it were not for the relationship between Li and the emperor, he would not be able to sit in the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander. He would be unhappy if he wanted him to make the precious lady unhappy. He would go to the emperor and complain a few times, and he would be miserable.
Alas, forget it, this kid looks OK, and with the emperor under his control, I guess this kid dares not be naughty. This marriage is just like this.
He simply covered his face with his hands, sat there without saying a word, and became the audience.
As the saying goes, "Mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes her." Yang Cong is so handsome, rich, talented and gentle. The key is that Ling'er and him are quite good at finding such a son-in-law. Where can I find such a son-in-law?
Li stared at Yang Cong with a smile for a while, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, I heard that the girl Xiuxiu has also been engaged. What's that young man's name?"
Yang Cong quickly introduced: "His name is Yu Dayou, and his courtesy name is Zhifu. He was originally from the Hereditary Hundred Houses of the World in Yongning Wei, but now he is the Thousand Houses of Chongwu, Yongning Wei."
Li nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Zhifu, I heard that he is going to participate in the martial arts examination this time. Has he come to the capital with you?"
Yang Cong replied obediently: "Here, here, this time he also participated in the Jinling Township Examination with his juniors, and he also passed the imperial examination."
Chapter completed!
