Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 44

   Mrs. Shen changed her mind, and it was much more pleasing to see Lu Fei who came to the door every day to be courteous.

   I used to be picky in every possible way, but now I look at where I am.

   He is tall, handsome, and has bright eyes. The skin is darker and more manly. What are you afraid of with a stupid mouth? A heart is sincere and hot!

   Lu Fei was uncomfortable with Mrs. Shen's smiling eyes, and glanced at Lu Mingyu subconsciously.

  Lu Mingyu has been a "dog-headed military advisor" for several days, and she is well aware of the subtle changes in the attitudes of the Shens. Today, I specially accompany Lu Fei to the door.

   Mrs. Shen looked at Lu Fei with the eyes of "the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more interesting it is".

  Lu Mingyu saw it in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

   It seems that these days of diligence have paid off.

  Shen Lan stood beside Mrs. Shen. Today Shen Lan is wearing new spring clothes, light blue, fresh and refined, elegant and moving.

   "Lan'er," Mrs. Shen turned to her daughter and said, "Xiaoyu brother and sister are rare guests. You can accompany them to the garden."

   This is tacit approval of Shen Lan and Lu Fei to meet and talk.

  Shen Lan suppressed the joy in her heart and answered softly.

  Lu Mingyu got up and held Shen Lan's hand affectionately. Lu Fei also got up and followed behind them.

   As a minister of the household, even if Shen Shilang did not extend his hand, the filial piety of each yamen would not be less on weekdays. The Shen family is not short of money. The garden was renovated a few years ago. It has strange mountains and rocks, lush flowers and trees, and excellent scenery.

   In front of me, there is a bright spring, and Lu Mingyu is also very happy.

   In fact, since solving the "trouble" of Li Hao, the hatred and anger in Lu Mingyu's heart have dissipated a lot.

   Live again, not only for revenge, but also for a better life for yourself and your family.

   "Xiaoyu," Shen Lan turned her head and smiled sweetly at Lu Mingyu: "Why are you here today?"

  Lu Mingyu calmed down and laughed and joked: "Why, I think I'm getting in the way."

  Shen Lan blushed, and quickly glanced at the handsome young man not far away, her voice lowered: "Mother told me yesterday that my father has written to the Fang family and politely declined the marriage."

  Lu Mingyu was refreshed: "Really?"

   "It's absolutely true." Shen Lan's heart was gone, and when she smiled, her brows were like the moon: "In these days, he comes every day. Mother has been ground to soften her heart."

  Shen Lan paused, and asked with a whisper, "Is this the idea you gave him?"

  Lu Mingyu winked playfully: "Although the method is a bit stupid, it works very well."

   Shen Lan laughed softly.

  …

   Lu Fei's ears are sensitive, and he could vaguely hear the words "softhearted" and "effective" from a few meters away. For a time, I was both surprised and delighted, and I couldn't hold back any longer, and strode forward: "Sister Shen, you...I..."

  Shen Lan waited for a long time, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

  Lu Mingyu turned around and went under the peach tree.

   The peach branches have green leaves, and some buds stick out timidly. Bursts of fragrance, refreshing. Lu Mingyu exerted a little force, climbed up the tree, and sat on the branch.

   Such a handsome light-weight kung fu, but no one appreciates it at this time.

   Lu Fei only has the girl he likes in his eyes.

  Shen Lan was shy and full of joy.

   Two people, you look at me, I look at you. After a long time, Lu Fei asked in a low voice, "Sister Shen, when will I come back to propose marriage?"

  Shen Lan blushed and whispered, "As soon as Chunwei is released, you can come."

   Count the days and wait another five days.

  Lu Fei was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He smiled with two rows of white teeth, like a fool: "Sister Shen, I'm so happy. I'm so happy!"

   "In the future, I will definitely treat you with all my heart. Better than your father treats your mother!"

  Shen Shilang is well-known in the capital as he dotes on his wife and loves his wife.

  Sanya came back, and from time to time, I would go to buy some candied fruit desserts that Mrs. Shen likes to eat. Every season, there are new fabrics in the satin shop, and Shilang Shen has to pick the fabrics for Mrs. Shen in person. The craftsmen in the jewelry store are also very familiar with Shen Shilang.

  Shen Lan was used to seeing the love of her parents since she was a child, and she also hoped that she could marry a good person, a loving husband and wife, and work together for a long time.

   "Second Brother Lu," Shen Lan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Fei, "I remember everything you said today."

  Lu Fei's heart is full of tenderness and sweetness, and his voice is extraordinarily soft: "I will live up to you in this life."

  Shen Lan's pretty face was blushing, and her eyes were full of love.

  Lu Mingyu, who was sitting on the peach tree, watched this scene from a distance, and his heart suddenly throbbed.

   Back then, she looked at her sweetheart with such joy, and listened to Li Hao making a solemn vow that she would be one for the rest of her life, and she would never lose each other in this life.

   How much I loved him back then, how much I hated him later. What I hate more is myself, I have no eyes, and I believe in the wrong person.

   Fortunately, everything is over.

   Her life will no longer be entangled with Li Hao's mother and son. She can have a new life and future.

  …

   Five days later, the Spring Festival will be released.

  Second son of Fang, really high school.

   However, among the Jinshi Jinshi, the most prominent one is not the seventeen-year-old Mr. Fang. But the eighteen-year-old Zhou Li. The second son of Fang is not low, in more than 30. Zhou Lique ranked second in high school.

  According to the practice of previous years, all the selected jinshi can only be finally determined after the palace examination. However, the rankings will not change much.

  The Imperial Examination is a matter of the Ministry of Rites. Lu Lin listened to it in the court, then returned to the house and smiled at Lu Mingyu: "Xiaoyu, there are two good scholars in the new division. They are young and tall, and they are not married."

   "One is called Fang Zizhan and the other is called Zhou Li."

   "Your third sister has a quiet temperament and loves to read. I think it's appropriate for her to choose a new scholar to be her husband."

  Lu Mingyu smiled slightly, and then went on as usual: "First set the second brother's marriage, and then manage the marriage for the third sister."

   This is true. one by one.

   Lu Lin was delighted, rubbed his fingers, and snapped his fingers loudly: "Okay, I'll go to the Shen residence tomorrow."

  Lu Mingyu took over the conversation with a smile: "I asked my father to go in person. After He Geng posted a marriage contract, the official media must be there. I have already asked the official media to invite the official media, and the entrance ceremony is also ready."

  Lu Mingyu was the Queen of the Middle Palace for several years in his previous life, taking care of the trivial affairs, which is not a problem.

  Lu Lin praised his daughter with a smile: "My daughter, she is really smart and capable. She looks beautiful and has good skills. I can see that no one is worthy of it."

  Lu Mingyu was teased and chuckled, and was secretly apologetic.

  Sorry, Dad, I lied to you.

   Actually, I don't want to get married at all.

   The so-called son-in-law is just a shield. In the future, there will be a day when a son-in-law really enters the door, and it is also pretending. I will never entrust my body and mind to any man again.
