Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

When Lu Bozhou returned to the Wang family courtyard, a lantern was hung high above the door.

It's obviously late at night.

There were people coming and going at the door, and it was very lively.

Everyone stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the No. 1 and No. 2 scholars."

"I went to Tianjie, too. The number one scholar was so majestic."

"The top scholar has become famous in the capital today. I'm sure there will be a lot of people lining up to propose marriage to him tomorrow."

Lu Bozhou smiled and bowed to them one by one.

The further he walked into the yard, the faster his heart beat.

As I entered the courtyard, I saw Li Jinglan sitting in the yard writing under a lamp.

The corners of Lu Bozhou's lips curled up, "I'm back."

He held the hairpin in his hand, as if he was holding a sky full of stars.

Walking forward, he handed the hairpin to Li Jinglan.

"This is the hairpin that Your Majesty personally pinned on my head."

Li Jinglan stood up and looked at the hairpin in his hand. "The flower is beautiful!"

Lu Bozhou lowered his head slightly and gently inserted the hairpin into Li Jinglan's hair.

The hairpin flower is a velvet flower made of silk, imitating the style of a peony.

After pinning the flower in her hair, Lu Bozhou did not withdraw his hand, but instead placed his hand on Li Jinglan's shoulder.

Take courage.

My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

"When you are nominated for the Golden List, you will be…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Zhengyi ran in from outside the yard with a happy look on his face.

"Master, officials from the Ministry of Rites are here to deliver official uniforms and robes, and someone is here to teach etiquette. They said we will go to the Imperial City to meet the Emperor soon."

"Uh... I didn't see anything, really." When Zhao Zhengyi rushed in, he just saw Lu Bozhou preparing to hug Li Jinglan, and he took half a step back awkwardly.

"......Alas!" Lu Bozhou sighed and forced himself to suppress the urge to expel Zhao Zhengyi from the house.

His expression changed very quickly, but Li Jinglan saw it clearly and couldn't help but laugh: "Go quickly, don't keep the officials of the Ministry of Rites waiting for too long."

"Wait for me." Lu Bozhou squeezed Li Jinglan's hand and turned to leave.

Li Jinglan followed Lu Bozhou's eyes until he could no longer be seen, and then she focused her attention on the table.

Today a few scholars came over to help with the accounting. Their handwriting is nice and they are very meticulous.

If possible, let Zhao Zhengyi contact him tomorrow.

You also need to find some people who are familiar with official etiquette to serve as guests in your home.

When Lu Bozhou is not at home, Qingke can welcome guests on his behalf.

Buy a house in the capital.

Not too big, not too small.

She also had to integrate into the circle of wives, expand Lu Bozhou's connections in Beijing, and establish a network of relationships and protection.

At the same time, they began to distinguish between friends and foes and secretly find out who the enemy was.

After thinking about this, Li Jinglan raised her fingers and touched the hairpin in her hair.

Her mind suddenly went blank.

It seemed that the only thing left before my eyes was that gentle smile.

Rubbing his forehead, Li Jinglan called Zhao Zhengyi's family into the courtyard: "See if Miss Zhou is free, please come over."

No one will be able to sleep well these two days.

Zhou Tuanjin couldn't sleep either.

What makes Li Jinglan most at ease now are Yin Zhihai and Zhou Jin. These two people are already Lu Bozhou's people.

When Wang Zhenyan and Wang Yongqing were sent out, Lu Bozhou had two more helpers.

And there is Lu Shenyan.

Lu Shenyan's attitude in his previous life was very subtle.

Because he is neither an oppositionist nor a pro-people.

He just does his job as an official and doesn't get involved in anything.

This life.

Lu Bozhou calls Lu Shenyan "Uncle", so it seems that Lu Shenyan's attitude towards Lu Bozhou should be better than in his previous life.

I thought about it carefully for a long time.

The only card I can play now is Yin Zhihai.

After picking up the gift list sent by the Yin family today and looking at it for a while, Li Jinglan made a decision:

"My dear uncle, I will send visiting cards to the residences of Grand Secretary Yin and Imperial Censor Lu respectively. I will go to visit my aunt in the morning, then visit my aunt, and have lunch at my uncle's house."

No one responded.

She looked up and saw that she was the only one in the yard.

Lu Sheng's family stayed at home to take care of Lu Guanyu, while Niu Dayi took care of Lu Zhongyu.

Zhao Zhengyi and Lu An were helping Lu Bozhou learn etiquette, while Zhao Zhengyi went to call Zhou Tuanjin.

"We're short of people..." Li Jinglan sighed.

After a while, Zhou Tuanjin came over.

Li Jinglan told Zhou Tuanjin about the situation she was facing: "The Wang family's courtyard is too small, and it is only suitable for studying, not for receiving guests. Bozhou and your brother will live in the capital for the next three years. So I plan to buy a house. Do you want to buy one together?"

Zhou Tuanjin entrusted everything to Li Jinglan, "We will be neighbors in the future, so it will be convenient for us to visit each other."

He is a straightforward person.

After dawn, Li Jinglan received a reply from the Yin family.

Not only did he reply, he also sent a two-horse carriage.

"Madam is worried that it will be inconvenient for the lady to go out these days, so she specially sent a carriage."

Along with the carriage, there were also the indentures of the coachman and the driver.

The carriage was left behind, and the coachman and driver were taken away by the Yin family.

Lu Shenyan's family also sent a reply.

Along with the reply was a small box.

There were several silver bills in the box, totaling two thousand taels.

"Quite generous!" Money-loving Li Jinglan suddenly changed her opinion of Lu Shenyan.

She is short of money right now.

Giving money at this time is like providing timely help.

Mrs. Yin is very kind.

Welcome Li Jinglan at the Chuihua Gate.

Seeing Li Jinglan's appearance, Madam Yin was a little surprised at first, and then she smiled and held Li Jinglan's hand: "Good child, I'm afraid you didn't sleep well these two days."

Li Jinglan smiled and nodded, "Aunt has a keen eye. She really didn't sleep well."

After Mrs. Yin chatted with Li Jinglan for a few words, she introduced the people around her, "This is your eldest cousin's wife, and this is your second cousin's wife."

Then he pointed at the girl surrounded by maids and servants and said, "This is your little cousin Shuxuan."

He also mentioned his age very deliberately: "I am fifteen years old this year."

Yin Shuxuan bent her knees and bowed, lowering her head shyly.

Li Jinglan understood a little.

He enthusiastically took Yin Shuxuan's hand and said, "My sister and I hit it off right away. I'd like to invite you to come to our house someday."

Mrs. Yin smiled when she heard this.

I think Li Jinglan is a really knowledgeable and interesting person.

Madam Yin took out a box and said, "I heard that you haven't bought a house in the capital yet. Fortunately, I have an idle house."

He pushed the box in front of Li Jinglan and smiled, "It is a gift from an elder, and I cannot refuse it."

Li Jinglan could only accept it with a smile, "I have to visit my uncle's house later, I will come to bother my aunt another day."

Madam Yin knew that Li Jinglan would definitely go to Lu Shenyan's house for dinner.

He smiled and sent Li Jinglan to the door of Chuihua Gate.

Madam Yin's eldest daughter-in-law stepped forward to support Madam Yin, "The house that mother gave her is worth more than three thousand taels."

Madam Yin smiled and patted her eldest daughter-in-law's hand. "Your uncle is such an upright man, but he actually sent the banknotes to tell everyone that Bozhou is his nephew. At the same time, he also gave us the benefit of sending the house. Otherwise, do you think that with the strength of the Lu family, we can't afford to buy a few houses in the capital?"

"We are allies formed by kinship and can rely on each other. From now on, you should treat Jinglan like a sister-in-law."

At this point, Madam Yin also sighed, "This Bozhou has won the first place in the imperial examination. Your father-in-law and uncle suddenly have four more young descendants in the court. They will eventually be feared! So your sister must show up to grab Zhou Jin and share the pressure for her father."

The eldest daughter-in-law knew that her thoughts were shallow and felt a little shy, so she changed the subject, "I don't know which family Zhou Jin will choose in the end."

"That depends on whose pressure Zhou Jin can't withstand. Do you really think that all these nobles in the court are fighting for Zhou Jin? No, they are fighting for people's hearts and loyalty. Take this opportunity to see who is your ally, who is standing on the opposite side, and who is trying to sabotage you." Madam Yin pursed her lips and smiled.

They all serve in the cabinet, so the Yin family must snatch them away.

Not only to rob.

The emperor and the whole world must know that the Yin family is competing with the minister for the son-in-law.

Madam Yin felt a little sorry for Zhou Jin: "Poor boy, born in a poor family, none of his relatives are officials, and yet he has no engagement. No matter who recruits him, he will be like a son-in-law, and will have to run around for the girl's family for the rest of his life. Who wouldn't rush to get married?"

The eldest daughter-in-law changed the subject again, "Cousin Bozhou has a very good brother named Wang Yongqing who is not married yet. I don't know if he is engaged. If he is not engaged, I guess he will be snatched up by someone in the next few days."

In the Wang family courtyard in the capital, Wang Yongqing kept sneezing.

Wang Zhenyan kept explaining in the front yard: "...I can't be in charge of my brother's marriage."

After finally sending the proposer away, Wang Zhenyan collapsed in his chair.

"Are mom and dad not here yet?" Wang Zhenyan moaned.

Yan Fuyu came over and poured him a cup of tea: "They should be on their way."

Wang Yongqing is engaged.

The Fu family in the capital.

The daughter of a scholar.

And now Wang Yongqing has passed the imperial examination...

Yan Fuyu lowered her head and remained silent.

*The house fight has escalated. Everyone should be able to clearly see the gap between Madam Yin and Madam Liu.
