Chapter 247 Invitation
Lan Xin raised her eyebrows and looked at Mother Liu, who was sitting there without moving. The corners of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info slightly curled up, and the eyelids were lowered to block the clarity in the eyes. After taking a sip of tea, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes quickly regained calm, and he asked with a smile, "Mom, is there anything else?" Seeing that Liu's mother pursed her lips, she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "Mom might as well say it directly, what else can't we say between us?" β
Mother Liu paused and said with a smile: "Yes, it's the old slave who is confused." The old slave wanted to beg the girl for one thing, that is, he wanted to marry the green lotus beside the girl for the old slave's uncompetitive son. β
Lan Xin gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table, and there was something incomprehensible in his calm eyes. Mother Liu was suddenly a little flustered, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Said nervously: "The old slave knows that the girl can't do without Qinghe, as long as the girl nods, it is okay to get married whenever she wants." β
"What does Mother Yiliu meanγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Lan Xin was just about to speak, Ziyi opened the curtain, walked in with light steps, smiled and saluted: "Girl, just now the concierge sent an invitation over, saying that it was sent by the Lu family." Lord Lu's family came to Jiangzhou and wanted to hold a banquet to get to know everyone, so they sent an invitation to the girl, hoping that the girl would be able to attend at that time. β
"Oh, Lord Lu's family is here so soon?" Lan Xin asked in surprise, seeing that Liu's mother was also puzzled, obviously she didn't expect it. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the invitation, unfolded it gently, looked at the content on it, and whispered: "The time of the banquet is exactly the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 14. Now that I know that the Lu family's family has arrived, the Mid-Autumn Festival festival has to be changed. That's it, Mother Liu, you go and discuss with Mother Zhen to see how to send it appropriately. β
"Yes, don't worry, girl, the old slave will go." Mother Liu also knew the priority of the matter, and said yes, and got up to leave.
Ziyi heard the shaking sound of the curtain, and couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth, looking at Liu's mother's back with complicated eyes. It wasn't until Liu's mother walked out of the house, leaving only the flickering curtain, that she withdrew her gaze. Standing there respectfully with his head down, waiting for Lan Xin's command, the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
Lan Xin flicked the invitation card lightly with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "There are still ten days before the banquet, and if you prepare now, it is not too hasty." Although the invitation said that it was just a small banquet. But for us, it means a lot. First, it was the prefect's family who hosted the banquet. Second, this is the first time that our Yu family has made an official appearance in Jiangzhou, so we must be cautious. β
looked up at the purple clothes standing with his hands down, and then looked at the invitation in his hand, and said softly: "You have always been steady and decent, so it's up to you to prepare for this matter." In addition, I will transfer the red silk and red sleeves to help you. The things in the house let Qinghe and Dongxiu pay more attention. β
When Ziyi heard Lan Xin's command, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, girl, the slave will definitely arrange this matter properly and live up to the girl's trust." β
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lan Xin smiled and nodded, picking up the teacup on the table. The purple collar came out, and Qinghe and Red Sleeves came over with a smile.
Qinghe walked over heartlessly, hugged Ziyi's arm, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, we haven't sat together and talked for a long time." Yesterday, I discussed with Dongxiu, and when I found a time, I took a leave of absence from the girl. Let's scrape together some money and let Dongxiu cook a few good dishes, and we will get together and talk well. β
Ziyi saw Qinghe's heartless smile, and Liu's mother's sonorous words suddenly sounded in her ears: "The old slave has something to ask the girl, that is, he wants to marry the Qinghe next to the girl for the old slave's uncompetitive son." "I think of the straight back of the man sitting on horseback in the sun. I felt irritable for no reason, and the smile on my face faded.
said lightly: "I'm afraid it's not going to work in the near future." The girl received an invitation from the Jiangzhou Governor Lu's mansion and asked me to prepare for the banquet! Moreover, let me prepare with the red silk and red sleeves. The tone was slightly raised, a little proud, and a little ostentatious.
Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he shouted in surprise: "Yo, the prefect of Jiangzhou actually gave the girl an invitation?!" That's great! The girl is amazing! He waved his little fist excitedly, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and he looked like he was honored. Immediately, he said to Ziyi with a smile, "Since the girl has something to order, then you can go and get busy." We can get together whenever we want, and we have time anyway. When you go to the prefect's house for a banquet, there must be a lot of things to prepare, you just have to be busy, and the things in the girl's house are me! patted his chest and said very righteously.
Ziyi watched Qinghe enter the house, and couldn't stop shaking the curtains, her brows were furrowed, and her heart was depressed. It's like getting stuck there in one breath, you can't spit it out, you can't swallow it. Blink to look at the red sleeves standing there in a daze, I couldn't help but lose a good face, and said with a calm face, "Let's go!" He took the lead and left.
Red Sleeves glanced at the curtain behind him, and then at the back of Ziyi who was walking in front, scratched his head, and muttered to himself in wonder: "Why do you think Sister Ziyi is angry?" Didn't you just have a good conversation? Looking at the back farther and farther away, he walked up and chased after him.

"Young Master!" Su Bo walked into the study with a calm face, but there was a trace of anxiety and worry in his eyes. Seeing the invitation in Lu Zhendong's hand, his eyes shrank, and he asked suspiciously, "Who sent this invitation to the young master?" β
"It was sent by the newly appointed prefect, Lord Lu Shenglu. On the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, he went to his house for a banquet. Lu Zhendong closed the invitation and said lightly. Pick up the teacup next to you and take a sip. His brows were furrowed tightly, I don't know if the tea was too bitter, or if he thought of something else.
Su Bo thought for a while and said, "This Lord Lu Shenglu, we didn't hear anything about him when we were in the capital, so he must not be a powerful character. Although Jiangzhou is extremely rich, it is also a place where fish and snakes are mixed. If you want to spend your term here in peace, don't you have to make friends with the local people? β
Lu Zhendong put down the teacup, shook his head with a smile, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and sighed: "Things are far from being that simple. β
