Lu Jiao thanked: "Thank you, dad. Although we may not be able to come back after leaving Beijing for a long time, when your grandson gets married, we will send someone to pick you up to Beijing to attend your grandson's wedding."

The four grandchildren are all thirteen years old now, and nowadays people get married early, only three or four years later.

Hearing Lu Jiao's words, the old man became happy. He had never been to the capital since he was so old, and the thought of going to the capital made him feel better.

"Then I'll wait for you to come pick me up when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Dad."

Just as Lu Jiao finished speaking, Second Aunt Lu suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, are the quadruplets engaged?"

In the past few years, Second Aunt Lu has always wanted her daughter to marry the third child of the quadruplets. Unfortunately, every time she had this idea, her mother-in-law suppressed her. She secretly let her daughter seduce Sanbao, but her daughter actually said that Sanbao was exceptionally smart. , wouldn't be alone with her, and didn't pay much attention to her, so she couldn't seduce him.

Second Sister-in-law Lu only felt that her daughter was useless. Over the years, she had spent a lot of money on her, and she couldn't do small things well.

In the main hall, everyone turned around and looked at her after hearing Second Sister Lu's words.

Second Aunt Lu stroked her hair and said with a smile, "I'm just curious."

Lu Jiao knew what Second Aunt Lu was thinking, but she didn't think Tao Zi was suitable to be their daughter-in-law.

Tao Zi was very smart and cute since she was a child, but in recent years she has been taught by Mrs. Lu to become more and more petty.

Lu Jiao didn't like this very much, so couldn't she stand up by herself? Even if you marry a well-matched family, it's not bad.

Second brother Lu is no longer in charge of the three major workshops. After saving a sum of money, he came out to do things by himself. He opened his own shop and made cosmetics for sale. Because he has experience in the three major workshops, the cosmetics he made Although he is not as good as the three major workshops, he has won a part of the market because of the cheap price. Right now he is a well-known big businessman in Qinghe County.

As the daughter of their family, Taozi will have a good time marrying a well-matched family.

However, Second Aunt Lu thinks too much, or this is what Second Brother Lu meant, the status of a businessman is low after all, if Tao Zi from their family marries into Xie's family, she will be the daughter-in-law of an official's family, and she will definitely be able to help her brother in the future.

But Lu Jiao didn't agree with Taozi marrying his son, not to mention that his son didn't like it, but just saying that they were cousins.

Lu Jiao looked at Second Aunt Lu with a smile and said, "No, I will get engaged to them when they are older."

The second sister-in-law Lu became anxious when she heard that, she opened her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of Taozi?"

Taozi's little face turned red instantly, and she shyly dared not look at the four young men standing in the middle of the hall.

The four talented young men frowned immediately when they heard Mrs. Lu's words. At the age of thirteen, the four young men were admitted as a scholar. Each of them has a vision. They don't like Cousin Taozi, so Hearing Second Aunt Lu's words, she was afraid that her mother would promise something, so she turned her head and looked over.

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "Peaches are very good, if Auntie finds the right one in the future, I will keep it for her."

These words were tantamount to directly rejecting Second Aunt Lu's request, and Second Aunt Lu's face froze instantly. She thought that when she mentioned it, sister-in-law might be able to agree because she was embarrassed, but she didn't expect that sister-in-law would not give her face directly.

Second Aunt Lu was so wronged that she was about to cry, Tian on the side was so annoyed, she gave Second Aunt Lu a hard look, then looked at Lu Jiao and said, "We are involved in her marriage, Jiaojiao, don't worry about her."

"Well, mother just worry about her."

Second Sister-in-law Lu saw that her plan was not going to work, so she came up with another plan and said, "Sister-in-law, Tao Zi heard that you were leaving Ningzhou for the capital, and she felt very sad. Why don't you take her to the capital, sister-in-law."

In this way, she can get close to Three Treasures, and maybe she can marry Three Treasures smoothly.

Lu Jiao looked impatiently at the second sister-in-law Lu, and said solemnly: "Our family has just arrived in Beijing, and there are many things that we can't arrange in time, so we can't bring them with us."

Not to mention Second Sister Lu now, even Tao Zi was ashamed, turned around and ran out with red eyes, and Second Brother Lu's expression froze behind him, and he gave Second Sister Lu a hard look.

Lu Jiao didn't bother to pay attention to their family anymore, she turned to talk to Tian's Lu Danian, and then greeted the people from Xie's family.

Xie Erzhu and Xie Ersao were accompanied by Qingqing, Xiaohe and their younger brother.

Lu Jiao likes Qingqing and Xiaohe very much. These two girls are very diligent. Four years ago, she took them over according to the agreement and stayed with her for three years. During these three years, Qingqing learned to embroider and became a woman. An embroiderer, Xiao He learned to cook and became a cook. The two returned last year.

Seeing Lu Jiaowang, Qingqing and Xiaohe had tears in their eyes. When they thought about when they were young, and now, they were most grateful to the third aunt. It was the third aunt who gave them the skills and the capital to live in, just like the third aunt As the saying goes, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself. After a lifetime of craftsmanship, they will have the capital to settle down and live, and they will be tough to marry.

"Third Aunt, now that you and Third Uncle are gone, I don't know when we will meet again."

Lu Jiao patted Qingqing's hand with a smile and said: "When the younger brothers get married, the third aunt will send someone to pick you up and go to Beijing to play."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she looked at Xie Erzhu and Xie Ersister and exhorted: "The two girls' marriage, you have to take good care of each other, don't just marry them by just one person."

Xie Erzhu and Xie Ersao immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, third sister-in-law, we've made a note."

Lu Jiao nodded, then looked at Qingqing and Xiaohe and said, "Third Aunt left a box of jewelry for each of you as a gift for your make-up, and you will take it to your husband's house in the future."

Qingqing and Xiaohe are getting older now, and Lu Jiao will not come back when the two of them get married, so they prepared a makeup ceremony in advance.

Lilac held two exquisitely carved red sandalwood boxes and handed them over.

The eyes of Qingqing and Xiaohe became even redder, and they took it with both hands: "Thank you, Third Aunt."

In the main hall, Second Aunt Lu was so jealous that she clenched her fingers tightly. She was very annoyed that Lu Jiao couldn't distinguish the inside from the outside.

The Lu family is her natal family. She does not prepare gifts for Tao Zi of their family, but prepares gifts for people with foreign surnames like the Xie family.

In fact, Lu Jiao also prepared a box of gifts for Taozi, but she refused to give it because of the fuss made by Mrs. Lu.

Tian's knew Lu Jiao's temperament, so she pursed her lips tightly, looked at Second Aunt Lu coldly, and then looked at Lu An, her second child, also coldly.

These years, the second child has some money, so he has more ideas, and the key is to treat the two elders with a condescending look, which makes Tian very displeased, but fortunately he has a boss and a third child.

Lu Jiao ignored Mrs. Lu, looked at Jinxiu, and stretched out her hand to beckon Jinxiu's daughter, Xiaoyu, over.

"Xiaoyu, do you miss your aunt?"

The seven-year-old Xiaoyu looks like Jinxiu, a thin and curly little person, and he speaks in a soft voice.

"Think about it."

Lu Jiao touched Xiaoyu's head and said, "When Xiaoyu grows older, aunt will pick him up and go to Beijing to accompany aunt, okay?"

Lu Gui and Xu Jinxiu were overjoyed, the husband and wife looked at each other, they knew how powerful this sister-in-law was, and if their daughter was taken by Lu Jiao's side to teach her, she would definitely not be bullied at her in-law's house in the future.

Lu Gui immediately said with a playful smile: "Sister, you said it, if you forget it by then, I will send Xiaoyu there."

Lu Jiao has always treated Lu Gui better than others in the Lu family. When she heard what he said, she laughed and said, "When did I ever lie to you as a sister?"

"No, no, my sister is the best."
