"What!" Lu's face darkened immediately when he heard that, and he glared at Ji Tao fiercely: "Okay, let me tell you why I have seen so many little ladies for you, but none of them moved your heart. He has a marriage contract. Tell me, does the young lady's termination of the engagement have anything to do with you!"

"I'm wronged, how could I do such a thing." Hearing this, Ji Tao immediately shouted out wronged.

If he could do such a thing, Han Wuniang would have retired a long time ago, and she might have already married, so there would be no such troubles later.

"That's good. If you do such a thing, I will definitely tell your father to give you a family law!" Only then did Lu relax, and said with a sideways glance at his second son.

"Don't worry, I will never dare!" Ji Tao ran behind Lu with a flattering face, squeezed away the maid and helped her to beat her shoulders, and asked carefully while beating: "Mother, this opportunity is rare, so you can help your son This time."

Lu Xinglin, who looked at the dog-legged look, almost couldn't help laughing out loud, even the maids in the room all bowed their heads and held back their laughter.

"Which little lady is it that can make you, who is usually careless and heartless, so caring?" Lu's flattery to him was very beneficial, and asked immediately.

"It's Han Wuniang from the Han family. She had a marriage contract with the He family and He Zhan before, but that brat He Zhan was not a good person. Like that Cui Jie, he was seduced by Guan Miao and was unwilling to fulfill the engagement, so the Han family broke off the engagement directly. When Ji Tao heard the words, he immediately explained Han Wuniang's matter briefly.

"So it's her." When Mrs. Lu heard that it was Wu Niang of the Han family, she frowned slightly: "I've seen her a few times, and she looks good, but isn't she and the boy from the He family in love with each other?" After waiting for him for three years, even if he divorced, can he take it back?"

Although Lu is picky about his daughter-in-law, she is not unreasonable.She had a good impression of Han Wuniang before, and she wouldn't immediately feel disgusted because of Ji Tao. If Han Wuniang didn't have a previous marriage contract, and she was two years younger, she would take the initiative to propose marriage for her second son without Ji Tao asking.

To be fair, Han Wuniang's appearance is more than enough to match her inconspicuous second son.

It's just that everyone knows the previous relationship between Han Wuniang and He Zhan, and it even became a good story in the family circle for a time.

Now that the engagement has been retired like this, Lu doesn't think Han Wuniang's heart can be taken back like this.

Besides, she is indeed a bit old, even if the second son is not in tune, he is not the kind of dandy who doesn't care about everything and only knows how to spend time and drink every day.

Lu's heart must be uncomfortable for him to let the second son of the Ji family marry an older woman who has retired and wants to belong.

"Mother, I won't lie to you either. I inquired about this matter quietly. It is impossible for Wu Niang to tell He Zhan that she has no feelings. It's just that the feelings are just a woman's feelings for her fiancé. The engagement has been broken because of The reason for He Zhan's change of heart, it's really hard to say how much of this relationship will remain."

Speaking of this, Ji Tao deliberately lowered his voice and said to Lu Shi: "And I secretly asked Han Er, this divorce was brought up by Wu Niang after she realized that He Zhan had changed her mind."

"She took the initiative to mention it?" Hearing this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and her impression of Han Wuniang became better in her heart.

In the hearts of noble girls from a family like Lu's standard, although love is important, it will never be the most important thing.As a daughter of an aristocratic family, enjoying the status and superior life brought by the family, she must also pay for the family.

Like Han Wuniang, who can wait for He Zhan for three years, and after He Zhan changes his mind, she can decisively propose to terminate the engagement in order not to damage the family's reputation, which is what the Lu family admires most.

This is not only clear to Lu Xinglin, but also to Ji Tao, that's why he said the following words.

"Yes, if Wu Niang has no merits, I won't be tempted by my son either." Ji Tao laughed.

"But she's still a bit older after all." Lu Shi still didn't let go.

After all, as a mother, she naturally wanted to find the best for her son.

"Actually, it's better to be older." Lu Xinglin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Why did Aze say that?" When Lu Shi heard this, he immediately became interested.

If Ji Tao said what he said just now, Lu must think that he was looking for an excuse to fool himself, but now the youngest son said it, then the situation is different.

With the character of the youngest son, even if he was brought in as a lobbyist by the second son, he would not fabricate it out of thin air at will, and there must be a reason for what he said.

"I found a medical book some time ago. I got it together with Tiangong. It mentioned some things about women's marriage and childbirth. The medical book said that women's bodies will develop and mature later, and then they will be better. If you are too young, you can still have children, but there will be certain dangers, and there will be great hidden dangers to both the woman's body and the health of the offspring." Lu Xinglin said.

"So it is difficult for young women to conceive, or they often have various problems after pregnancy, and they are prone to dystocia. On the contrary, the situation is much better for older women. Also, according to medical books, if you are a close relative If you get married, your child will easily be deformed or weak and sick and destined to die young."

Remembering that the Lu family seems to have plans to get closer, Lu Xinglin added the last sentence.

"Really?" Hearing these words, Mrs. Lu couldn't help frowning.

"Of course, I'll bring the medical books over later, and my mother will find out about it from a trusted doctor. And there are some things that need to be paid attention to during childbirth. My sister-in-law is going to give birth in a few days, so I can let the midwife learn it in case of emergencies." Need." Lu Xinglin replied.

"That's fine, your Ayi has weak bones, and I'm worried about it." Upon hearing that it would be good for the eldest daughter-in-law who is about to give birth, Lu immediately said.

Bai Yi was originally the kind of woman who was weak and willow, with a weak body, coupled with her young age, and now her first child, it was normal for Lu to be worried.

"Tomorrow, I will have Zhu Yu deliver it." Lu Xinglin replied.

"Mother, that's my business..." Seeing that the two of them turned the topic on the sister-in-law, Ji Tao suddenly became anxious, and said while holding Lu's arm.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter, why are you in a hurry!" Lu Shi said with a glare at him.

"Mother I..."

Ji Tao wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Lu Xinglin.

"Mom, my second brother and I still have to go to the shop to have a look, so I won't bother you for now. Tomorrow I will ask Zhuo Yu to send me the medical skills. When I was looking at the medical skills, I made some medicinal wine according to the prescription in it. Recently, Alright, I'll bring them here tomorrow too. Drinking wine is the best way to maintain your health, and it's best to drink a glass before going to bed every day." Lu Xinglin said.

"We, Aze, are still filial, thinking of me in everything we do." Hearing his youngest son's thoughtful words, Lu naturally disagreed, but he didn't forget to take a look at Deng Jitao when he said filial piety.

"Aze, why did you drag me away? I haven't told my mother about the marriage proposal yet." After being dragged out of the door by Lu Xinglin, Ji Tao was still muttering.

"Mother has already agreed. Second brother, if you nag a few more words, do you believe that mother will show you?" Lu Xinglin was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to ask.

"Agreed?" Ji Tao didn't understand what Lu Xinglin meant.

"Why didn't I realize that you are so stupid, second brother? My mother said that she would arrange it. This is equivalent to agreeing to you in disguise, but she is not at ease, so she wants to see Han Wuniang again." Lu Xinglin did not expect that the always shrewd Ji Tao, who actually felt stupid at this moment, explained helplessly.

"That's really great!" Ji Tao also realized at this time, and grinned silly.

That stupid look is really hard to see, if not at home, Lu Xinglin would want to pretend that he doesn't know him.

After another delay, the two finally went out.

They went to Lu Xinglin's shop. It's morning, the shop is doing business well, and the shopkeeper and several other employees are busy.

"Meet Mr. Xiao Lang!"

Seeing Lu Xinglin coming in, the shopkeeper hurried over to greet him.

"I'll just come over and take a look, you're busy with your work." Seeing that a few guys were coming over, Lu Xinglin quickly waved his hands and said.

After speaking, Lu Xinglin took Ji Tao up to the second floor.

The second floor is the VIP reception area. There are quite a few small private rooms here, and some distinguished guests will choose jewelry here.

When Lu Xinglin came in, there happened to be a few young ladies coming out of one of the boxes, and the maids behind them were still holding a few brocade boxes, which were obviously just bought.

When they ran into Lu Xinglin head-on, the girls were stunned. It wasn't until he nodded slightly to them that they came back to their senses, and all of them blushed in return.

Lu Xinglin didn't know any of them, so he didn't say anything, and nodded to indicate that he and Ji Tao went into the next box.

But after he entered the box, he heard the excited voices of a few young ladies.

"I actually met the Ji family Xiaolang!"

"You really deserve to be our No. [-] beauty in Beijing, she is truly unparalleled!"

"Hmph, that lady from the Xie family who came from Jiangnan a few days ago said that the gentleman in Jiangnan is the most brilliant. She must have never met the young man of the Ji family!"

"Of course she hasn't seen him. The young man of the Ji family has always disliked the excitement, and has been spending the summer in Qingyuan outside the city. She has only been in Beijing for two months, so she has no chance to see him at all."

"It's really time to let her see the demeanor of our young gentleman from Shangjing!"

"Then Mrs. Xie will stay in Beijing for a few more months, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"..."

Not only did Lu Xinglin hear these words, but Ji Tao next to him also heard them clearly, and immediately raised an eyebrow at Lu Xinglin.

"The charm of my young man from Ji's family is truly invincible. I think it won't be long before there will be another admirer." Ji Tao teased.

"Now that I'm still in the mood to make fun of me, I think my second brother doesn't need my help." Lu Xinglin glanced at him lightly and said.

"Don't, Aze, I was wrong, just pretend that I didn't say anything, and I need your help with Wu Niang's matter." Ji Tao was immediately discouraged when he heard the words, and quickly laughed along with him.
