Chapter 74
"Fourth sister, don't you like your future third brother-in-law?"
Zhou Li stayed for a while, then left. The clever ghost fifth sister quietly came over and whispered.
Lu Mingyu glanced at Lu Mingyue with a smile: "Who said that. I think the future third brother-in-law is very pleasing to the eye."
Lu Mingyue stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Fourth sister, don't lie to me. It's not like I haven't seen what the fourth sister does to the eldest brother-in-law."
The fourth elder sister never stopped beating Zhou Li. He also got a one-handed broken folding fan today. The handsome face of the future third brother-in-law was all white with fright, and he almost fled.
Lu Mingyu laughed: "I told you if you don't believe it, then I can't help it. In short, I have great respect for the future third brother-in-law."
Lu Mingyue rolled her eyes and laughed in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is that the third sister is willing to believe it. I think that when the third sister sends this future brother-in-law away, she is reluctant to part."
Yes, anyone with long eyes can see how much Lu Minghua likes Zhou Li.
Lu Mingyu couldn't help sighing.
If she hadn't worried about Lu Minghua, would she have easily let Zhou Li go?
Right now, I can only knock from time to time. As long as the Lu family does not fall, Zhou Li will not and cannot dare to betray his heart.
As they were talking, Lu Minghua came over.
Lu Mingyu and Lu Mingyue silently agreed with each other at the same time.
Lu Minghua's face was full of spring today, she pursed her lips and smiled: "It's almost noon, let's go to lunch together."
Lu Mingyu smiled, nodded, and went to the dining room hand in hand with Lu Minghua. After lunch, she went to Lu Minghua's boudoir to have a private conversation.
"Fourth sister, you must not like Zhou Li!" Lu Minghua was not a fool, she had already noticed Lu Mingyu's rejection and indifference towards Zhou Li.
Lu Mingyu naturally wouldn't admit it: "How could this be. He is my future third brother-in-law. If you marry him in the future, we will be a family. How can I hate him."
Lu Minghua silently glanced at the duplicitous fourth sister.
When she sent Zhou Li out of the house, she felt that Zhou Li's face was not very good-looking, so she asked. Zhou Li didn't say anything, but when she mentioned the fourth sister, Zhou Li's handsome face became even whiter...
Lu Mingyu took Lu Minghua's hand and said, "Third sister, what you like is more important than anything else."
Lu Minghua's eyes were slightly warm, she rested her head on Lu Mingyu's shoulder, and said softly, "Fourth sister, thank you."
I know, you are afraid that I will be too soft-hearted and will be pinched by the Zhou family.
I know, you are trying to support me and deliberately scare Zhou Li.
I know that you are all for me.
Lu Mingyu's heart was slightly sour, and she put her arms around Lu Minghua: "We are sisters, no need to say thanks. You have to remember that you are the daughter of the Lu family. No matter what happens in the future, the door of the Lu family will always be open for you. Live in the Zhou family. It's not good, or someone bullies you, come back immediately."
Don't be like the previous life, where you always suffered and felt aggrieved.
Obviously, she could beat Zhou Li half to death with a whip, but she had to swallow it.
Lu Minghua choked with sobs and hummed.
…
In the afternoon, Lu Mingfang brought her two sons back to Lu Mansion.
May 20th was Lu Mingyu's birthday. Lu Mingyu was fifteen years old this year, and the hairpin ceremony was around the corner, with just over half a month left.
The Lu family did not have a mistress, so Lu Mingyu was in charge of internal affairs. However, she can't be allowed to arrange for her own hairpin ceremony.
Lu Mingfang came back to the mansion on purpose, in order to handle Lu Mingyu's hairpin ceremony.
In the evening, Lu Lin and his son returned to the mansion, and Zheng Zheng in the barracks came to Lu's mansion when he got the news. The crowd gathered and it was very lively. After dinner, Lu Mingfang said to Lu Lin, "Foster father, the fourth sister's hairpin ceremony, leave it to me!"
Lu Lin trusted the caring and gentle eldest daughter very much, and said with a smile, "I can only rest assured if such an important matter is handed over to you."
Lu Mingfang pursed her lips and smiled.
She has been thinking about this for a long time, and she opened her mouth and said in an orderly manner: "My mother-in-law and I have already talked about this matter. From today onwards, I will live in Lu Mansion."
"The hairpin ceremony of the fourth sister must be held in a grand and lively manner. Our Lu family friends and relatives are invited to watch the ceremony. 20 seats are enough for the banquet. There is still a period of time, and there is plenty of time to prepare calmly. ."
"The most important thing is to invite who will be the official guest and who will be the praiser. Does the foster father have a plan in mind?"
It stands to reason that the hairpin ceremony was held by a female elder with a high reputation. Lu Lin had no relatives, Lu Mingyu's mother died early and had no siblings. Lu Mingyu didn't even have a paternal aunt or maternal aunt.
Lu Lin touched his chin and thought about it, and soon thought of a suitable candidate: "Just ask Madam Shen to be the guest of honor!"
The Shen and Lu families were going to be relatives soon, and in terms of identity, Madam Shen was quite suitable.
Madam Shen was beautiful and elegant, with outstanding bearing, but usually kept a low profile. Few of the noble ladies in the capital were comparable to Madam Shen.
Lu Mingfang also praised repeatedly: "Foster father idea is excellent. There is no need for the foster father to go to the Shen family for this matter, I will handle it."
Lu Lin nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Who should I invite to praise?"
According to customs and conventions, engaged girls should not show their faces. Therefore, it is inconvenient for Shen Lan and Lu Minghua to be praisers.
Lu Mingfang was also a little hesitant: "The fourth sister is the best friend with Shen Lan on weekdays. Except for Shen Lan, I rarely hear the fourth sister mention girls from other families."
My family sees Lu Mingyu as a thousand good things and nothing bad.
However, in all fairness, with Lu Mingyu's temper, there were not many people who were not afraid of her and dared to get close to her.
Lu Lin simply smiled and said, "Xiaoyu has always had her own opinions. Just ask her directly to see who she has in her heart."
Lu Mingfang replied with a smile, then turned to ask Lu Mingyu.
As soon as she mentioned the ceremony, a figure flashed in Lu Mingyu's mind, and she smiled slightly.
Lu Mingfang keenly noticed something strange: "Xiaoyu, why did you suddenly stop talking? Is there something bothering you?"
Lu Mingyu replied lightly, "No. I was thinking, I know so many famous and noble women, who should I invite to be my praiser."
It is not unusual for a fifteen-year-old girl to have things on her mind that she does not want to say.
Lu Mingfang thoughtfully didn't ask any further questions and smiled casually: "Apart from Shen Lan, whoever you want to be with is all you need. The girl from the Jin family, Miss Meng from the Marquis of Guangping, Miss Zhao from the Marquis of Puyang, or Qiao Ge, Miss Qiao in the old mansion. I remember that you have contact with them on daily basis."
There were only a few of the top circles of noble women in the capital.
Lu Mingyu thought about it and said, "Please Zhao Yu!"
Jin Caner turned her face over because her nephew was beaten.
Meng Yunluo had a grudge against her in her previous life.
Qiao Wan is not bad... However, Qiao Wan is obsessed with the second prince, so she still avoids suspicion. After thinking about it, it was better to invite Zhao Yu.
Although Zhao Yu was ignorant, superficial and small-minded, she was not bad. Having been a sister-in-law for several years in the previous life, they can be considered familiar.
Lu Mingfang nodded with a smile: "Alright, just ask Miss Zhao Wu."
