Upon learning that Prince Jin was coming to attend Wang Yongqing's wedding, many officials rushed over immediately.

The Wang family residence was filled with officials.

The Prince of Jin only drank three cups of wine before leaving, but the wedding lasted until midnight.

The wedding is officially complete only after drinking the wedding wine that will last forever and tying the knot that will last a lifetime.

Li Jinglan had been busy all day and was very tired.

Lu Bozhou was very happy today. He drank a little too much and felt a little dizzy when walking.

On the way home, he stayed by Li Jinglan's side and refused to leave.

Gao Daxi tried to come over to help several times, but Lu Bozhou held Li Jinglan tightly and refused to let go.

When we returned to the house, Lu Sheng's family and Zhao Zhengyi's family had already prepared hot water.

After all the servants in the room had left, Lu Bozhou suddenly opened his eyes with a clear look.

Not drunk at all.

He pulled Li Jinglan into his arms and lowered his voice: "Today, an eunuch from the palace sent me a message saying that Gao Daxi was the one guarding the imperial mausoleum. Then Prince Jin came to the Wang family and said the same thing."

"I feel that there is something wrong with the eunuch who delivered the message."

Lu Bozhou had drunk some wine today, and his chest was shaking when he spoke. Li Jinglan was in his arms and could feel his heart beating very fast.

Li Jinglan thought for a while, "We don't have any spies in the palace, and we shouldn't have any. We can only be careful in what we say and do."

"Today, Lu Sheng whispered to me that Gao Daxi's men arrested someone this morning." Li Jinglan said in a low voice.

Lu Bozhou was silent for a moment, "It might be someone from Liu's family."

He looked up at the roof. "Don't be so casual when talking at home in the future. I heard that there are people with very sensitive hearing who can hear other people's conversations from far away."

Then, he suddenly turned around and pushed Li Jinglan onto the bed.

"What are you doing?" Lu Bozhou suddenly did something unconventional, and Li Jinglan panicked for a moment.

Lu Bozhou lowered his head and kissed Li Jinglan gently, "There won't be anyone outside listening to us, right? We can do that while we're at it, and talk about business at the same time."

"I think you are just making excuses." Li Jinglan was angry and embarrassed.

"No one knows a man better than his wife." Lu Bozhou laughed softly and buried his head in Li Jinglan's arms. "You are just looking for an excuse."

"I'm in the Imperial City during the day, and I want to do that with you. Am I seriously ill?"

When young people first get to know this taste, it is easy to fall in love with it.

Li Jinglan carefully comforted Lu Bozhou, "I miss you sometimes during the day."

Lu Bozhou was displeased, "Only occasionally? That's because I'm not working hard enough."

"You have to think about me all day long." Lu Bozhou kissed her hard.

Li Jinglan struggled for a few times and then stopped.

It felt like ever since she and Lu Bozhou consummated their marriage, she was always being led by Lu Bozhou's thoughts and was always being tricked by him.

As expected, men are naturally dominant in this regard.

Li Jinglan hugged Lu Bozhou tightly and fell.

... (13,000 words are folded here)

The panting sound gradually subsided in the darkness.

Lu Bozhou kissed Li Jinglan's earlobe and said vaguely, "Do you think there is something wrong with my background?"

Li Jinglan dodged away, but was pulled back by Lu Bozhou.

"I saw your majesty that day and I thought you looked very similar to His Majesty." Li Jinglan said.

Lu Bozhou held Li Jinglan's earlobe in his mouth and bit it gently. "It's a pity that Daddy and Mommy left early, otherwise I could ask them."

Li Jinglan was very curious about her parents-in-law, two senior time travelers, and asked softly, "What kind of people are my parents?"

When Li Jinglan asked this, Lu Bozhou thought of his childhood and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.

He grew up being loved.

The way Daddy looks at Mommy is always as gentle as water, and the way Mommy looks at Daddy is always full of attachment.

The two never quarreled or argued.

Because daddy will always give in to mommy.

When his father and mother were alive, he never felt like he was adopted.

Because daddy and mommy love him very much.

It was precisely because he grew up surrounded by love and could not understand the cruelty of the outside world that Lu Xuande's family took advantage of him.

"Dad always says he doesn't understand the imperial examination, but I was taught by Dad. He is very good at teaching people."

"My mother likes to paint, and she said she has studied under several masters."

"I said I didn't believe what my mother said about the art school... Then she stopped talking. I asked her again but she refused to say anything."

Academy of Fine Arts?

It is normal for a master to be a teacher.

"They once said that their hometown came from the Lotus Pond Moonlight. I searched for a long time in books but never found this word. I don't know where it came from."

"Then I thought, my mother was probably just teasing me. My father is from the Jiaxing Lu family, so how could he have a second hometown?"

Moonlight over the lotus pond?

Li Jinglan's body moved slightly.

This is an essay written by Zhu Ziqing when he was teaching at Tsinghua University. The place was formerly called Liutang.

After this essay was written, it was renamed "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond".

The moonlight was like flowing water, quietly pouring down on the leaves and flowers. A thin green mist was floating in the lotus pond. The leaves and flowers seemed to have been washed in milk, or like a dream shrouded in a veil.

Thinking about Zhu Ziqing's articles, Li Jinglan also missed his hometown a little.

She looked up at the bright moon outside the window.

The appearance of my parents gradually became blurred in my memory.

Two lifetimes have passed.

I wonder if they are okay.

What home is like.

She now lives like an ancient person.

I wonder if the moon above my head is the same moon as the one in my hometown.

……

After Wang Yongqing got married, the Wang brothers prepared to take up their posts.

Lu Shenyan found three advisors for each of them.

The legal advisor did not go to Beijing, but went directly to meet them at the place where they were taking up their posts.

Wang Zhenyan was going to take up a post in Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture, so Lu Shenyan wrote a few letters home and asked him to take them to the Lu family in Jiaxing Prefecture.

On the day the Wang brothers left, Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin sent them ten miles outside the city.

Li Jinglan also went there with Zhou Tuanjin to see them off.

Yan Fuyu did not take the child with her, but left the child to accompany Liu. When she was about to leave, she hugged the child and cried.

Li Jinglan whispered to comfort her: "Auntie loves you, so she let you go with her. If it were someone else's mother-in-law, she would definitely let you stay at home and find a concubine or maid to go with you."

Yan Fuyu held back her tears, but still felt sad: "I know it in my heart, but I just can't bear to leave my child."

Mother and child are natural, and the child is so young.

How could she give up.

But the children couldn't stand the bumps on the road.

It is best for the child to stay with Liu.

Wang Yongqing's newlywed wife, Fu, also went with him.

Mrs. Fu was a very quiet woman, and she felt a little awkward when talking to Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan took out two rolls of silk and a set of headgear awarded by the emperor, "Although the silk weaving industry is well developed in Jiangnan, these are awarded by His Majesty. When we get to Jiangnan, we can also invite those wives and ladies to gather at home and bask in the grace of God."

Fu was stunned for a moment, then became a little excited and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

No matter how developed the silk weaving industry in Jiangnan was, ordinary officials were not allowed to use the silk and jewelry made there.

She was the daughter of a scholar, and marrying Wang Yongqing was a typical example of marrying up.

Those ladies and girls would definitely not look at her straight in the eye.

With these, you can more or less deter some unfriendly looks.

The Cheng Yi that Li Jinglan gave to Yan Fuyu was exactly the same as the one she gave to Fu.

Before sending the gifts, Li Jinglan had already asked Gao Daxixi if he could send the gifts.

Gao Daxi reported this to the palace, and Li Jinglan then took it out.

On the way back, Li Jinglan sat in Liu's carriage to entertain her.

Liu held her grandson in her arms and recalled the two times that Prince Jin had stayed at Lu's house.

Thinking about what happened these days.

Although she had no access to confidential matters, just by looking at Prince Jin's attitude towards Lu Bozhou, she knew that Prince Jin viewed Lu Bozhou differently.

When many officials came to propose marriage, most of them would ask, "I heard that your two daughters live in the Zhuangyuan Mansion." After hearing her affirmative answer, the officials would often be very respectful.

Li Jinglan's attitude towards her remained the same as before, and he did not look down on her because of the change in her status.

Liu felt a little emotional.

Then he talked about the marriages of his two daughters: "Regarding Ruoshui and Ruolan, I still need your advice."

"Do you want them to marry in the capital or in other places?" Li Jinglan asked.

"As a mother, of course I hope they marry nearby. But if they meet someone they like and who likes them, it's okay for them to marry farther away."

Then, Liu changed the subject and worried about her two sons: "I heard that there will be bandits who will harm the officials who are about to take office, and then take the documents to take office."

Li Jinglan laughed, "How can it be that easy? All officials leave their official seals in the Ministry of Personnel when they take office. If the seals are not correct, someone from above will come to check immediately. How can it be so easy for so many people from the same hometown, the same year, the same subject, and the same school to be impersonated?"

"Besides, how can an ordinary bandit impersonate a successful Jinshi? Just the poetry and essays written by the gentry at a gathering would give them away. The county magistrate also has to preside over the county examination twice every three years. How can he correct essays if he can't read? How can he set questions?"
