Chapter 647: Family Banquet
At ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, Feng Jingting and Guo Wenying changed and obeyed the palace and set off for Lu's house.
The carriage stopped in front of Lu's house, and at this time, Lu Junqing was already kneeling down to greet him.
Feng Jingting helped him up with his own hands, and recounted the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Lu Junqing said: "Your Majesty, there is something I have to tell the emperor, our old lady fell ill as soon as she arrived in Beijing, and she was just sick at this time, so I didn't tell her about the emperor's wedding, and she still didn't know that you were the emperor." ”
Feng Jingting smiled, "It's nothing, it's a family banquet, and it's not interesting to talk about the number of courtesies of the monarch and ministers, just think it's a nephew and son-in-law who come to the door." He said as he stepped through the door.
Lu Junqing bent over in the back to serve, but said in his heart, what nephew and son-in-law, which nephew and son-in-law came to see his uncle make such a big show?
Guo Wenying was taken by Mrs. Lu and walked in, compared to the cautiousness of others, this aunt has a bold and open personality, she doesn't mean to treat her as a queen at all, and still treats her affectionately as before. In her words, it's all a family, what are you doing with all this nonsense?
While walking inside, Mrs. Lu said: "The last time I entered the palace, I didn't touch you to talk to yourself, this palace is not like the outside, you are used to being rude outside, and you don't have a sense of proportion, don't offend people." Last time, when you patronized and talked to us, you offended the Dingguo family, in the end, it was your uncle and father, and you didn't make any irresponsible comments. ”
Guo Wenying smiled, "What's the matter?
Mrs. Lu pouted, "Isn't it? Not only the Duchess of Dingguo, but also the Duke of Dingguo came twice, so he had to play chess with our master, and he also called Yiyu out to accompany him, and tested his knowledge." I really don't know what I want to do? Don't you know our master's temper? I looked at your face a little bit of decency the first time, and I pouted back the second time. ”
Guo Wenying smiled secretly, this couple was so anxious that they actually came to the door to sue for peace. But fortunately, they didn't speak stupidly in person, otherwise with their uncle's temper, most of them would have to be pouted out.
The two of them had already arrived in the front hall while talking, and now the old lady was sitting in the hall and stretching her neck to look at it, and her mouth was still muttering: "Didn't you say that this is coming? Why haven't you come yet?"
Lu Junqing shouted in front of the door, "Mother, the person has arrived, don't worry." ”
The old lady sighed, sat down in a hurry, and the smile on her face remained three or four points.
It is said that this granddaughter and grandson-in-law are going to kowtow when they get home, but because of the identities of Feng Jingting and Guo Wenying, no one dares to mention this stubble, so they should have forgotten.
Lu Junqing and Mrs. Lu helped the old lady from left to right, "Mother, these people are all together, let's sit down." ”
"Oh, this is the seat?" the old lady was still waiting to kowtow, and when she saw that there was no such thing, she wondered in her heart. But when she was old, she was sick again, and her brain was a little confused, so she didn't argue and let people sit on the chair.
Because it was a family banquet, it was not good to give up the main seat to the emperor, but fortunately, the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she pulled him and Guo Wenying to her side left and right, and sat next to her.
Those here today are Lu Junqing's family, Lu Mingyue and his wife, Lu Yiyu, there are only five or six people around them, and even the youngest son was not in Beijing because he was sent to study in other places, so he did not attend.
Feng Jingting saw that there were only a few of them, and said: "Since it is a family banquet, let's sit together." ”
"Yes. Lu Junqing responded.
When everyone was seated, the maids began to serve.
Today's dishes are all made by Mrs. Lu with her daughter-in-law, since it is a family banquet, it does make some home flavors, they are all home-cooked dishes, although they are not as exquisite as those in the palace, but they are also very delicious.
Guo Wenying picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten the dishes cooked by my aunt for a long time, so I want to eat more today." ”
Mrs. Lu put a piece of fish into her bowl, "You can eat more, I haven't seen you fat since I gave birth, but I have suffered a lot." ”
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but say, "What child? Who gave birth?"
Lu Junqing said: "It's Wen Ying, who just gave birth to a pair of twins. ”
"Then why don't you take it home and take a look? I still want to go to the house to have a look, but your uncle has been refusing to let me, saying that I am not in good health, and will not let me go out. ”
Guo Wenying originally wanted to take the child out, but Feng Jingting didn't allow it, he looked at the twins tighter than his eyes, and didn't let them be hugged out at all, for fear that if he touched it all the time, something would go wrong.
was originally a royal bloodline, unlike ordinary children, she didn't dare to mention this matter again.
Hearing the old lady's question, she didn't want to hurt her heart, so she said: "The child is sick and not well, and this is not a good thing." ”
The old lady let out an "oh", obviously disappointed.
Mrs. Lu diverted the topic, "Mother, didn't you say last time that you want to make small clothes for Mingyue's child? This Mingyue's daughter-in-law is also pregnant, and you will be a grandmother in the future." ”
As soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately came to her senses, and if it wasn't for the dinner table, she would have asked someone to bring the cloth over and choose it on the spot.
The old lady was afraid that the two of them would not be able to eat enough, so she personally served them with vegetables, but her hands trembled, and her body was obviously not as tough as the last time she saw it.
Guo Wenying was eating, but she felt a little sour and sad in her heart. I can see my grandmother this time, but I don't know if I will see it again next time.
After eating and preparing fragrant tea, Mrs. Lu pulled Guo Wenying to talk while talking, while Lu Yiyu walked to Feng Jingting with a chessboard, blinked and smiled: "Brother-in-law, let's have a plate." ”
This "brother-in-law" also called Feng Jingting out of temper, so he simply came to play today, so he asked people to move tables and chairs, put on the chessboard, and played chess.
Guo Wenying accompanied the old lady and talked for a while, the old lady was old, and she felt sleepy after a while, so she helped her down to rest.
At this time, there were not many people in the hall, and there were only Mrs. Lu and Guo Wenying.
Lin Yunwan waited beside her for a while, and she couldn't stand for a long time because she was pregnant, and she looked a little tired. The emperor and the queen were here, and she didn't dare to retire, so she could only support herself.
Mrs. Lu saw that she was uncomfortable, but she didn't speak, and only said to Guo Wenying: "It's becoming more and more inconvenient for you to be this queen, and it's not easy to see you in the future." ”
Guo Wenying sighed, "Then what's the solution, I'm also bored in the palace, but I don't know what to do." ”
Yesterday, the emperor also asked her to sort out her private treasury to pass the time, but unfortunately she hasn't mentioned her interest to take a look yet.
She remembered the agreement with the Duchess of Dingguo, and said: "I have something to discuss with my aunt, I want my cousin Yiyu to marry Wanyun, and I mentioned it to the emperor yesterday, and the emperor has already agreed to it." ”
This kind of thing is nothing to Feng Jingting at all, and he naturally has no reason not to be allowed.
