Mrs. Ruan walked around the room a few times and wiped her tears a few times before sending her granddaughter back.

When Wang Ting returned home from court, Mrs. Ruan informed the matter and cried with tears in her eyes: "That Qin Kang is nothing! He actually deceived an unmarried girl. Now that Pingting is pregnant, what do you say?" What to do?"

Wang Ting was shocked: "Pingting is pregnant?"

"Yes, it's been three months!" Ruan wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Wang Ting was so angry that his beard stood straight up, and he slapped the table: "What else can we do? Of course let Qin Kang marry her!"

When he said marry, he just meant to make Qin Kang responsible.

"Qin Kang's first wife is the head of Qinyang County. How could she tolerate Pingting getting pregnant before her?" Ruan shook her head repeatedly: "If Pingting is tortured to death by her, we will not even be able to redress our grievances."

The emperor beat a concubine to death, and the emperor only fined her a year's salary. How could the good granddaughter who was raised by himself be sent to such a den of tigers and wolves?

Wang Ting waved his sleeves: "That's it! I want to go to the Qin family in person to reason!"

Ruan grabbed her husband and said, "You are crazy! How can you make this matter public?"

"This won't work, and that won't work either. How are you going to solve it?" Wang Ting was so angry that his granddaughter was so angry that he simply left the matter to his old wife to handle.

Ruan: "I've thought about it. I must find a family for Pingting to marry as soon as possible! I might as well be able to cover it up."

Her husband and her son are both officials in the court, so they can't hold their heads high because of their granddaughter's affairs.

Moreover, the second son's family also has two daughters. They are both fourteen or fifteen years old this year and have reached the age to discuss marriage. They must not be implicated in this matter, otherwise the second daughter-in-law will hate Pingting to death.

"Who to marry?" Wang Ting felt his head was spinning.

Ruan thought about it and said, "I think the Lu family has a good child. He is about the same age as Pingting. Now he is a teacher for the prince. His future is bound to be limitless."

Wang Ting quickly shook his head: "That's inappropriate! Last time, Pingting's maternal grandfather Cai Fuge said that he had already been rejected by that boy. If he says it again, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it will not be a marriage, but a feud. .”

Mrs. Ruan snorted: "He is the bastard born of a cheap concubine. He is already eighteen this year and no one cares about him. It is his blessing that our Pingting can marry him!"

Wang Ting glared at his wife: "What do you know? That's because he refuses to marry, not because no one cares about her!"

Several ministers in the court were interested in him, but it was a pity that he refused to get married until they reached the crown. He also said that a senior monk had given him an order not to get married early.

Ruan curled her lips and said in a low voice: "I don't care! Someone must marry Pingting right now. Without further ado, let's ask Mrs. Lu for a favor and turn the raw rice into cooked rice! Then Lu Jingzhou can't help but Marry!"

In fact, she looked around and found that the concubine of the Lu family was the only one who was reliable. Not only was he about the same age as Pingting, but he also became the prince's teacher at a young age. Once the prince ascended the throne, he soared into the sky.

It would be a pity for such a good son-in-law to fall into another family!

Wang Ting was also hesitating in his heart.

To be honest, his favorite candidate for grandson-in-law is none other than Lu Jingzhou.

He is smart, young, and aware of current affairs, and has an excellent reputation in court.

Now he is a fifth-grade bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He often stays with the prince and explains the classics to him. He is also half of the prince's teacher.

If nothing unexpected happens, his future will be bright.

Ke Pingting her

well! It's all injustice!

Wang Ting was afraid that if the marriage failed, his family would offend Lu Jingzhou.

After struggling for a long time, he saw his wife again promising that she would not let Lu Jingzhou notice anything strange.

At worst, after getting married, Pingting lived in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing for a few months on the pretext of recovering from illness, and then returned after giving birth to her child.

As for the age of the child, there are so many wild children out there that no one wants. When the time comes, just hold a newborn baby and give it a look.

"It's up to you! I still have things to deal with." Wang Ting couldn't listen to these inner secrets and quickly found a reason to escape.

So Ruan sent a message inviting Cai of the Lu family to visit her home.

Mrs. Cai arrived as promised, and the two of them retreated from the servants and discussed the matter in the room.

Now Cai's eldest son is engaged and will get married in the second half of the year, but the daughter-in-law-to-be is the daughter of a minor official.

He is said to be a minor official, but in fact he has stopped being an official for a long time. The prospective daughter-in-law's father once served as a county magistrate, but he was dismissed from his post because he failed to pass the performance review.

Later, he simply started doing business in the capital and never got involved in officialdom.

At this moment, she heard that the granddaughter of Wang Shilang's family was going to marry the concubine she hated most, and Mrs. Cai was a little reluctant.

"How can Erlang be worthy of Pingting? Mrs. Wang, you think too highly of him." Ms. Cai drank her tea slowly, a little absent-mindedly.

Seeing what Cai said, Ruan felt clear-minded and said with a smile, "I didn't agree with Pingting marrying Lu Jingzhou, but Cai Fuge is very optimistic about him, so he entrusted me to ask you for a favor."

Mrs. Ruan could never tell Mrs. Cai that her granddaughter was pregnant, so she lied.

When Mrs. Cai heard that it was the commission from Cai Fuge, she could only nod: "Since it is the commission from uncle, I will give it a try. However, Erlang rarely returns home, so I have to think of something."

Ruan was relieved when she saw Cai relenting, but she was afraid that if she delayed for too long, Pingting's belly would not be hidden.

After thinking about it, Ruan said, "Let's do it this way. Cai Fuge will celebrate his birthday in a while, so I'll have someone send a message to Lu Jingzhou, and we'll settle the matter there."

Although he was a bit unreasonable towards Lu Jingzhou, we were all a family in the future, and Cai Fuge valued him very much, so that boy must not be able to say anything.

Ms. Cai smiled dryly and reluctantly agreed.

Cai Fuge's birthday was on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although the sky was cloudless, the wind was so strong that it hurt people's mouths.

When Lu Jingzhou received Cai Fuge's message, he originally wanted to just give him a courtesy, but something else occurred to him, so he happily went.

Feng Shan rode a tricycle to escort the young master to the gate of Cai Mansion. He saw that many guests had gathered here, most of them were ministers of the DPRK.

People handed over gift lists and gifts one by one, and the announcer read out the gift lists loudly for the bookkeeper in the ear room to record them.

Lu Jingzhou also sent a calligraphy and painting by a famous person from the previous dynasty, but it was just a fake that he copied.

Of course the original work was lying in his bookcase. He would not give away good things to others.

He walked into the living room with the guests, saluted Cai Fuge who was sitting at the head, and said an auspicious blessing. Just as he was about to sit in the tent outside, he saw Cai Fuge waving to him.

"Scholar Lu, please come and sit down."

Lu Jingzhou hesitated, walked over with a smile, and sat down on the chair on the right side of Cai Fuge.

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Lu Jingzhou saw Cai Fuge looking at him with rare gentleness.

After a while, many people came to celebrate his birthday, and Cai Fuge couldn't care about Lu Jingzhou anymore.

At this time, a servant came over and led Lu Jingzhou to another place, saying that his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy were waiting for him there.

Lu Jingzhou followed the boy for a long time before arriving at a warm pavilion.

He looked around the outside of the Nuan Pavilion and saw that there were no guests around, so he followed the boy into the Nuan Pavilion without saying anything.

There was no one else in the Nuan Pavilion, but the sweet fragrance was burning in the Bogu Incense Burner.

"You rest here for now, and I will bring you some snacks and fruits." The boy said respectfully.

Lu Jingzhou waved his hand: "Go ahead."

The boy bowed to him, opened the curtain and went out.

When the thick curtain fell again, Lu Jingzhou took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.
