Lord Lu's house is located in Dongtiao Street next to the Taiyuan Prefect's Mansion, quiet in the middle of the noisy, the alleys are lined with high walls and gray tiles, lush camphor trees, locust trees, and jujube trees stretch out from the yard, blocking the direct sunlight of summer like an umbrella, making people feel a coolness when they walk in.

The people who live here are both rich and expensive.

Jiang Xian took the lover's arm and got out of the carriage and asked Mrs. He: "Why didn't our family choose to buy a house here?" ”

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the backstreets of the General Soldier's Palace, this place is much better.

Mrs. He's face was slightly red, and she said, "It turned out that I also wanted to buy a house here, but I didn't buy it." ”

Maybe some people don't want to sell.

Jiang Xian didn't ask again.

Because Mrs. Lu had already greeted her with a smile on her face, surrounded by seven or eight maids and daughters-in-law.

"You're here. She stepped forward and took Jiang Xian's hand, "Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Li have arrived, and they are about to ask you!"

"Didn't you just change to a mother-in-law who was with the car, and you were delayed on the road?" Jiang Xian casually exchanged a few words with her, turned sideways, and introduced Mrs. He, Li Dongzhi, and He Tongniang, who came with her, to Mrs. Lu.

"Welcome, welcome!" Mrs. Lu said warmly, "I'm afraid that you and the two young ladies won't be able to come if you have something." Once you came, it was now complete. ”

"Mrs. Lu is too polite!" Mrs. He responded.

Everyone said a few words, and followed Mrs. Lu to the flower hall where the Lu family was entertaining today.

Jiang Xian sat down in the flower hall and couldn't help nodding secretly.

The flower hall where they were guests was a three-room open room, with a small pond to the south and a small flower garden to the north. On both sides of the south and north are golden silk nanmu inlaid with glazed fans. If you push open the fan on the south side, there is a stage across the small pond. If you push open the fan on the north side, it is a large garden across the flower garden.

Now that he wants to sing, he opened the fan in the south.

At a glance, the green trees are shady, the grass and trees are Fusu, there are two or three pairs of mandarin ducks swimming leisurely in the lake on the pond, the weeping willows on the pond are lightly supporting the water surface, the scenery is very beautiful.

Mrs. Lu took the fruit plate held by the little maid and put it on the coffee table in Jiang Xian's hand, smiled and picked a crimson plum from the fruit bowl and handed it to Jiang Xian: "You taste it, I planted it myself." ”

"You still like these!" Jiang Xian was a little surprised.

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Li sat opposite Jiang Xian, and Mrs. Li smiled when she heard this: "She not only likes to plant fruit trees, but also likes to make silk flowers - the silk flowers made by the little maid in their house are given to us every year as a festival gift, and I don't know how much trouble it saves her!"

That tone, when I heard it, was joking at Mrs. Lu, but once again surprised Jiang Xian.

Mrs. Lu laughed and said to Jiang Xian: "Don't listen to Mrs. Li, she just wants to laugh at me for not doing my job." Last year, because I was busy making silk flowers with the maids in the house, I misremembered the birthday of the eldest wife of the Yuan family, and everyone else went to eat and drink, so I didn't go without saying it, and rushed over the next day, which became a big joke in Taiyuan Mansion. ”

As she spoke, her expression was not sad, but there was a faint hint of self-deprecation.

Those who dare to laugh at themselves are people who are extremely strong in their hearts.

Jiang Xian suddenly thought of what the Empress Dowager said to her when she was a child.

She couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lu differently.

Under Mrs. He sat the wife of General Wang's house.

She wanted to say a word to Mrs. Wang several times, but she saw that Mrs. Wang had been talking to Mrs. Qian, who was sitting under her, about the weather in the past few days, and she was afraid that there would be heavy rain after the autumn, which would affect today's harvest, so she couldn't interject, so she had to sit there and be anxious.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang is not the kind of person who only cares about talking to herself, and when the topic is over for a while, she smiled apologetically at Mrs. He and said, "We say that you are very bored! When Mr. Qian first entered the office, he worked as a county minister in Fenyang, managed agriculture and mulberry, and developed a habit, and Mrs. Qian also cared about agriculture very much. ”

Mrs. He said dryly: "This is a good thing! But I don't understand, otherwise I can discuss it with you." ”

"Who really understands!" said Mrs. Qian, sighing, "I just listened to our master." Last year's harvest in Shanxi was not good, and if this year's harvest is not good, I am afraid that it will be ......" She swallowed the word "civil violence" and changed it to "The life of those farmers is becoming more and more difficult." ”

This Mrs. He understood, and she said: "In the past, when I was in Fujian, the Marquis of Jinghai would take the lead in giving us people soup. ”

Mrs. Qian listened and stopped.

Mrs. He hurriedly said: "I am a straight person. Did I say something I shouldn't have said? Madame, just tell me. ”

Mrs. Qian glanced at Mrs. Wang, and saw that Mrs. Wang's expression was calm, so she said in a low voice: "The government has not opened a warehouse to release grain, if we give porridge, wouldn't it mean that the monarch is unkind?"

Mrs. He was startled and hurriedly said, "You just don't think I've said it." ”

Mrs. Qian saw that her face turned white, knowing that Mrs. He was also an honest person, she had a little heart to make friends, she took the initiative to change the topic, and said that Qiao Ji, who sells ice drinks on North Street these days, is said to have a new variety......

Mrs. He smiled and said that if she had time, she would definitely try it.

As he was talking, Mrs. Shi, Miss Shi Jiasan, Mrs. Zhuang and others arrived.

This time, Mrs. Zhuang also brought a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

The little girl looked seven or eight points similar to Mrs. Zhuang, and looked quite ordinary, but her little face was raised high, and she looked arrogant and pampered.

Mrs. Lu introduced to everyone that this is Mrs. Zhuang's daughter.

Jiang Xian gave her a mutton fat jade bracelet on her hand when she saluted herself.

She bowed generously and thanked her, and followed the housekeeper's grandmother to the wing room by the flower hall, where several young ladies were playing.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Lu and the eldest lady of the Lu family also came.

Jiang Xian couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you see the second miss?"

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "She got up naughty in the morning and broke a plum vase of Yuan Qinghua at home, her father punished her for writing 500 big characters, she was crying while writing big characters at home, and she didn't want to follow me anyway." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

After Miss Zhuang was led down, Mrs. Zhuang sat down under Mrs. Qian.

Not only is Mrs. Lu sitting under Mrs. Li just now, but because there are a lot of people sitting on Mrs. Qian's side, she is a little far away from Mrs. Lu.

Jiang Xian was secretly attentive.

found that during the entire banquet, Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Lu did not say a word, even if Mrs. Lu occasionally came over, Mrs. Zhuang did not seem to see it.

It seems that the grievances of the Lu and Zhuang families have not been released because of Mrs. Lu's bowing.

Shi Jiaban sang "Double Wonder Meeting" at Lu's house today, and Jiang Xian had heard it once in his previous life. But at that time, she was already the queen mother, Shi Qing no longer sang opera, and took over as the head of the Shi family's class, and it was Shi Zhu who sang the leading role.

Jiang Xian calmed down and listened carefully to Shi Qing's singing, and carefully experienced the difference between Shi Qing and Shi Zhu.

Mrs. Lu was pulled by Mrs. Lu to the porch outside the flower hall.

Dear friends, today's update.
