C13 Lu Family

Upon hearing his grandmother's words, Gu Qingshui knew that it was impossible for him to achieve his goal this time. He glared angrily at Gu Qing Wan, thinking that she was afraid he would steal her limelight, so she didn't dare to let him participate.

Gu Qingcheng didn't care about her thoughts. She didn't want to bring Gu Qingshuang in one aspect, but another aspect was that she was afraid she would make a fool of herself when the time came. I'm not a Madam Guan, I don't care about these things.

He knew that Gu Qingwai had received an invitation letter from the Lu family. Gu Qingyan had even specially told her the news about the Lu family that he had gathered, in case he did something disrespectful when he didn't know what was going on.

Gu Qing Wan was also seriously studying the Lu family's situation. After all, they had already arranged to be married, so they came to the ball again. Only after knowing a bit more would they know how to treat them differently.

He was more sensible and gave birth to a daughter, Lu Canting, who later came out with nothing. Thus, he took the initiative to raise his daughter in front of his wife, while he himself, on the other hand, ate Ramadan. All these years, he had been lacking in desire and peace of mind, and Lu Canting was now married, his husband was from a business family, and he had married a second son, who led a happy life.

The eldest son, Lu Yun, was currently the treasurer, married to the Xu family's eldest daughter, Xu Jiayin. The Xu family's power was concentrated in the Ministry of Justice, and now, they had a daughter, three years old, named Lu Yi Ning, and her nickname was LuLu. She was a very pretty girl, and she was very fond of smiling, revealing two dimples in her smile.

The Lu brothers were on good terms with each other. Regardless of whether they were born from a concubine or from a concubine family, their relationship was closer, and the Old Master took care of his two younger brothers.

The Second Branch had a son, three daughters, and his son, Lu Xuan, was still studying. At the age of fourteen, the three daughters, with the exception of the youngest Lu Manli, who was sixteen years old and still unmarried, were already married.

The Third Master and Third Wife had freely fallen in love. After a few days of school, they had already declared themselves to be progressive, and were very disgusted with the feudal arranged marriage. The Old Granny had doted on her youngest son and spoiled him a little too much, giving him a personality that was ignorant of the hardships of the human world.

When they were young, they loved to play, and then they met Third Wife Ji Shuping, who was not of high birth, so they fell in love and got married.

He was fifteen years old and was attending school. His daughter's name was Lu Manqin, and she was also a young girl who pursued a new trend, with perm all day long, wearing a dress, and attending dances all over the place. At such a young age, she was a typical modern girl who wandered the social circle of Beiping.

The eldest wife, Madame Jiang, was wearing a qipao, while the second wife was still dressed in a jacket and skirt, which made the third wife, who wore dresses all day, look down on them and felt that they were too old-fashioned. Ji Shuping did not have a high birth, and it was the whole family that had helped her go to the academy to receive advanced education in order to marry into the Wealthy Class.

The eldest wife boasted that she did not want to argue with her, and the second wife did not want to fight over her position. She did not care about what others said, so she developed Ji Shuping's domineering nature in the Lu family and felt that she was just too extraordinary.

Although Lu Yu was the youngest child in the family, he didn't have the overbearing temperament that his sister had. On the contrary, he was more like the son of a concubine, and usually, he liked to be together with Lu Yan and Lu Xuan. Lu Yun was the eldest son, and his personality was also quite cold, so the younger ones in the family were a little afraid of him.

Lu Yu had been raised by his wife for a period of time. At that time, the Third Master had to stay in Shanghai for a period of time due to work reasons, and the Third Madam didn't want him to go there alone, so she left Lu Yu, who was still young at that time, and took him to Shanghai for another five years. By the time she came back, Lu Yu was already eight years old.

The wife of the third master had come back a limited number of times in the past five years, so she didn't get to know Lu Yu too much. Therefore, Lu Yu was still closer to the room, and was initially willing to stay by the wife's side. However, the third wife felt that it was very grievous and wronged that she hadn't gotten close to her child after coming back.

The first wife felt that it was their family's blood relatives anyway, so she let Lu Yu return to the third room. But no matter what, Lu Yu went to school during the day and came back at night to study hard.

However, in the end, Ji Shuping's words and actions made him somewhat disappointed. This was different from what his aunt taught him, and different from what his eldest brother and second brother taught him. Although he couldn't say where was wrong, he felt that what his mother said was wrong, so he could just listen to whatever Ji Shuping said.

Ji Shuping felt wronged that her son was not close to her, but her daughter was obedient and sensible. Therefore, she doted even more on her daughter, who had always been by her side. She felt that her child had to be by her side to know that she was close to her.

After learning about the situation, Gu Qinglang had already made up his mind. He was prepared to participate in the ball in the next two days. Time passed quickly, and soon, it was time for the ball.

On the day of the ball, Gu Qishao was still dressed in his qipao, but it had been modified so that it tucked around his waist and added some fashionable elements to it. It accentuated his body's curves, and Madame Song nodded in satisfaction as soon as he wore it.

"Yes, we'll look the best tonight."

Gu Qingchen stood at the side, smiling. He also felt that his elder sister was becoming more and more beautiful, and now that her personality had changed, she exuded a noble aura. Gu Qingchen couldn't say anything, but he felt that his elder sister was now like a princess.

Because she was young and had a good foundation, her complexion was very good. Madame Song felt that the more she looked at it, the better it looked. She inherited all the good points from herself and San Ye, so she was naturally the most good-looking.

Thinking of the astounding Third Master Gu, Madam Song sighed in her heart. What he felt the most for was late at night. If he could see his daughter growing up to be so outstanding, he would be gratified.

Even though she wanted to, she didn't show it on the surface. She continued to talk to Gu Qing Wan with a smile, telling her to be more careful when going to the Lu family.

Gu Qing Wan'er smiled as she bade them farewell. "Mother, don't worry. I'm fine. Please go back, I'm leaving." Afterwards, he would bring the aroma of books to the main house, always having to inform the old lady.

After Gu Qing Wan had left, Gu Qingchen bade farewell to Madame Song, "Mother, I'm going to Wen Shu."

Madam Song looked at her son with concern. "Aren't you tired just because of this?" You also have to rest properly, as your sister said, and work together. "

Gu Qingchen smiled and shook his head, comforting Madam Song, "I'm fine, how could I be tired?" No matter how tired he was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere. His sister would be married in a year at the earliest, then at that time he would still be nothing. How could he protect his sister? What could he use to protect his mother? I can't keep my sister standing in front of them.

Gu Qingcheng didn't know what was going on behind her, so she led the way to the main house. When she arrived, Madam Guan was there too, but she didn't see Gu Qingshuang, so she didn't take it to heart. She paid her respects to the old lady and greeted her as well.

The old lady saw that she was dressed decently and felt that her words and actions were filled with accomplishment. She felt that Gu Qingwang had done all of this because of her contribution. Otherwise, how could he be so outstanding?

Thus, he was even more satisfied with her. He smiled and said, "It's about time. I won't say much more. Just pay attention when the time comes."

Gu Qing Wan replied with a smile, then was told by the old lady and Madam Guan to let her go. When they walked out of the main house, Gu Qing Wan asked Shuxiang, "Did you hear any news?" Where did Gu Qing go? "

The fragrance of the books had formed a good relationship with a servant girl in the main house, asking her to let him know about any news. As such, he didn't know much about the main house, but he did know a bit about such trivial matters.

"Eldest Miss went out after breakfast. I heard she went to see her classmate, so I don't know about the rest." The aroma really did know.

Gu Qingcheng nodded. No wonder. Otherwise, how could she be missing out on such an occasion? So it was actually him who went out. "Alright, let's go."

The gatekeeper had long since received the news that the Fourth Miss was going out, so he had prepared a rickshaw and waited there. Gu Qing Wan pulled it over as soon as she came over and left.

There weren't many people invited to the Lu family's ball this time, just a few good ones. Gu Qing Wan was an outsider, so she wasn't very familiar with them.

Madame Jiang was afraid that she would make the young lady uncomfortable. She even specifically instructed her eldest son's wife to take care of her when the time came. "This is her first time participating in an occasion like this. She can't help but be scared. You have to take care of her when the time comes."

Hearing this, Lu Yan's elder sister-in-law, Xu Jiayin, pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will look after her properly. Even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't dare to slight her."

When Madame Jiang heard this, she gave her a puzzled look. "You know that girl?"

"How do I know her?" Seeing her mother-in-law's puzzled expression, she explained with a smile, "It wasn't my brother-in-law who repeatedly reminded me to take good care of his wife." His tone was full of ridicule, and when he thought back to Lu Yan's nervous expression, he laughed. It seemed that his brother-in-law had really taken this seriously.

When Madame Jiang heard this, she scolded him jokingly. "This child, it's really him!" However, he was a lot more at ease. With his son being so attentive, it meant that he really did like that girl and didn't care about anything else. Then in the future, he would know how to treat her.
