Lu Zhi turned her eyes and saw a young girl holding a noble lady walking towards this side, and it was the noble lady who spoke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fu Yao leaned into her ear and whispered, "This is Mrs. Zuo Xiang and her daughter-in-law Zuo Zhen." At present, the two of them are the most noble. ”

While speaking, Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Zuo Zhen had already arrived in front of her, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang looked Lu Zhi up and down: "It's really good-looking." ”

Lu Zhi was slightly blessed when she heard this: "I've seen Madame." ”

Mrs. Zuo Xiang nodded slightly: "I often hear Zhen'er say how smart you are, but I don't seem to be the case today, a little trick of an aunt can trick you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma's blue and red changed, but Lu Zhi did not move, only raised the corners of her lips slightly and said: "Zhi'er has been back in Beijing for some time, but there are no good friends in Beijing, and she can only be bored at home on weekdays. ”

Ma didn't expect Lu Zhi to speak for her, and couldn't help but look at her stunned: "Yes, yes, it's Zhi'er who wants to come by herself." ”

Mrs. Zuo Xiang looked at Lu Zhi and did not answer, but Zuo Zhen snorted lightly on the side: "As an aunt, I actually called the name of the young lady in the family, according to my opinion, the rules in Young Master Lu's mansion should be established." ”

As soon as Zuo Zhen's voice fell, it immediately attracted the echo of the ladies and young ladies around her.

Ma Shi was completely dumbfounded when she heard this, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted, she didn't understand, before Lu Zhi came, although they were reluctant to talk to her, weren't they all okay? Why did Lu Zhi come and target her?

At this time, Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites looked at Ma's face, and rolled her eyes silently in her heart, but this person was invited by her, so she couldn't let the atmosphere go down like this, so she said: "Ma's Xu is used to being an official lady, and she forgot her identity for a while. ”

When Ma heard this, he was overjoyed, yes, he was an official lady, different from the aunt next to him. So she looked up, ready to defend herself.

But at this time, someone among the noble ladies snorted lightly: "Are you used to being an official lady?" She hasn't been an official lady for more than ten years, right? Since he has entered the Lu Mansion and become a concubine, he should have the appearance of a concubine's room, besides, if I remember correctly, the highest official in the Ma family is only the fourth grade, and this old Mr. Ma who became the fourth grade has passed away, right? ”

Hearing this, Ma's words of defense were immediately stuck in his throat.

Lu Zhi glanced at her and said lightly: "Zhi'er has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and I don't know what objects all the ladies and ladies in Beijing like now, only prepare some small gifts in Jiangnan, and I hope that all the ladies and ladies will not give up." ”

After that, he motioned for Qiu'er and Chun'er to present the gifts.

There are a lot of gifts, so every lady and lady got a copy, and after everyone got the gift, they let the servant girl take it, obviously not valued. Only one lady opened the gift box, took the gift in her hand and looked at it, but at a glance she exclaimed: "It's a double embroidered silk handkerchief!" ”

The double-embroidered silk handkerchief is a double-sided embroidered handkerchief, the silk handkerchief is the best silk handkerchief in the south of the Yangtze River, and the double-sided embroidery skills have long been lost, and an ordinary double-embroidered silk handkerchief can be used as an ordinary person's income for several years.

Hearing this exclamation, everyone looked at the silk handkerchief in the woman's hand in amazement, and when they saw that it was really a double embroidered silk handkerchief, they immediately took the gift box from the handmaid and opened it.

Most of the items that Lu Zhi gave to everyone were some double embroidered objects, including silk handkerchiefs and sachets, etc., and some blue and white porcelain unique to the south of the Yangtze River, although this porcelain vase was small, it was very exquisite, especially the blue and white, which was even rarer.

Everyone was surprised when they saw the ceremony, but Lu Zhi was calm on her face. These gifts are rare objects for them, but for the Wu family in Jiangnan, they are very common.

What's more, this was originally brought by her from Jiangnan, in order to cope with this kind of time, these gifts are not superior, at most they are only average.

All the ladies are from powerful backgrounds, what a scene they have never seen, after a short period of surprise, their faces were as usual, but Lu Zhi's gaze softened a lot.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, "Lu Zhi is here to make some friends today, so there is no need for us to pestle here to make people suspicious, let the juniors talk more together." I raised a lot of peonies in this village, and it was the time to enjoy the flowers. Mrs. Wu went with us to take a look? ”

Mrs. Wu didn't expect to be invited, but she has never been good at dealing with this situation, and she was very uncomfortable with these serious officials and wives, and was about to refuse, but Lu Zhi said on the side: "Mother is bored at home on weekdays, and it is rare to have the opportunity to come out, so you might as well go with the ladies to enjoy the flowers. ”

Mrs. Wu has always been obedient to Lu Zhi, and when she heard her say this, she nodded immediately, and went elsewhere with the ladies.

Ma stood alone and tightened the handkerchief in his hand, they only called Mrs. Wu but never her, but it was obvious that they invited her!

Besides, how can a merchant girl compare with the daughter of her official family?!

But everyone left, and those who stayed were juniors, so she had to stare at Mrs. Wu's back with hatred, and then hurriedly followed.

As soon as Ma left, Zuo Zhen snorted coldly: "What a fool who can't figure it out!" ”

Lu Zhi looked at her when she heard this, remembering the scene when she was a child, she squeezed Qiu Shiyi, and now she looks at this temperament has not changed at all, and Mrs. Zuo Xiang is a straightforward and arrogant character.

Fu Yao was the eldest among these people, and immediately beckoned everyone to sit down in the pavilion together, and specially introduced everyone to Lu Zhi one by one: "Zuo Zhen doesn't need to say that you know each other, this is Wu Sitong, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is the same age as you this year, this is Ji Yuchen, the daughter of the cabinet bachelor, and this is ......."

Present, in addition to Lu Zhi, Fu Yao and Zuo Zhen, there were also five daughters of housekeepers, Fu Yao introduced Lu Zhi one by one, not only introduced their names and ages, but also introduced the official position of their fathers in the family.

In other words, these people were all from the palace back then, and they were old acquaintances with her.

Before these concubines came, they had instructed their families to have a good relationship with Lu Zhi, so after some introductions, they all found something to say, and they all talked about the palace back then.

There are many words of praise, some praise Lu Zhi's intelligence, and some praise Lu Zhi's courage, Wu Sitong, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, but everyone is in awe, but Zhi'er, you dare to argue with him." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, she only said that she was ignorant and fearless, and she didn't deserve her praise.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Zuo Zhen, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "After you came back, have you ever seen Qiu Shiyi?" I heard that on the second day after you returned to Beijing, the personal maid next to you knelt in front of Qiu's mansion and pleaded with her. ”
