Strange! Didn't you say that the Chen Guogong Mansion took advantage of today's good day to officially propose? The congratulatory guest has not arrived, and the gift must be delivered, right?

Lu Du and Lu Ying looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

Could it be that there are variables in Beijing?

The Lu Mansion was lively for most of the day, and the guests gradually dispersed, and Pang Zi was going back to the room to remove the hairpin ring and rest.

Suddenly, Mrs. Wang, the four big girls were all outside and exclaimed: "The master is here." ”

Pang Zi still wondered in his heart: Didn't Lu Jing treat male guests in the outer courtyard? Could it be that the male guests have also dispersed?

Lu Jing held a sticker in his hand and strode into the house.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"An invitation from the Marquis of Xining." Lu Jing sent it to her: "Please ask the ladies of the house to go to Beijing to watch the ceremony on the next Yuan Festival." ”

"What?" Ponzi's surprise is not small.

After taking a look, it was indeed an official invitation from the Duan Mansion, which was written very decently, and the wording was also very polite, expressing the hospitality of the Xining Hou Mansion.

Pang Zi smiled after watching it, and said: "It's not too surprising, this summer, Mrs. Duanfu went to Yicheng to enjoy the lotus, and our mansion has also made efforts." Presumably it was to invite Changfu back, and I also invited our family. ”

Lu Jing nodded: "You're half right." Indeed, I also invited the ladies of the Changfu. ”

"What's that other half?"

Lu Jing sighed: "It's okay to send invitations at this time, and I also sent a gift, saying that it was to congratulate Sister Lu on her adulthood." ”

"This?" Ponzi had nothing more to say.

It's clear that you're coming to the landing house? This battle doesn't look like a casual invitation, but as if Lu Fu is the protagonist.

Ming Yuan

"How so?" The Lu Mingrong sisters were gossiping with their two cousins playing chess, reading books, and were shocked when they heard the girl report the news.

Qiao Yuanlu clapped his hands and rejoiced: "It's too coincidental, our family is also about to enter Beijing." Isn't there a companion? ”

Yuan Se also smiled: "Second cousin, let's go and tell my wife that we just go to Beijing together to be a companion." ”

"What, you also want to enter Beijing?" Lu Mingyan couldn't hide her curiosity.

She thought that her aunt's family had come to attend Lu Lu's coming-of-age ceremony, and she would return to Yancheng after that?

Qiao Yuanlu's eyes swept around, and said carefully: "Hmm." Dad and Brother Yuanxuan entered Beijing a few days early. Let's go and rendezvous. ”

"Why?" Lu Mingyan was still confused.

Qiao Wulu hesitated and said: "I don't know what it is, it's probably my father's reinstatement, right?" ”

Lu Mingyan rolled her eyes, still didn't understand. But. It's not good to ask any more, so as not to be despised by the two cousins.

Only Lu Mingrong knew a little bit about the sesame things of this uncle's family.

Qiao Zhaoshen was an official in Yancheng, and he had been stable for a few years, but recently he was stimulated by something and began to be restless. It's a bit illegal to be an official, and my hands and feet are not very clean, so I didn't expect people to play it horrible.

Fortunately, he had a good reputation a few years ago, and he had a wide range of contacts, and he had the financial support of Lu Jing, so he just suspended his official position and punished him.

Now I'm afraid that I want to be reinstated, and I deliberately took my adult eldest son to Beijing to go to the event door, right?

And it was so coincidental that Lu Lu's coming-of-age ceremony invited Lu Duan as a guest. Just enough to ask Lu Jing for money to send to Beijing. It's easy to do things with money. And. Lu Jing will definitely not refuse.

My brother-in-law was an official, and his local business was too peaceful.

All of them have a good calculation.

Lu Mingrong asked rhetorically: "Will my aunt also take her two younger sisters to Beijing?" ”

Qiao Yuanlu smiled shyly, lowered his head and said softly: "This will naturally." ”

Lu Mingrong's eyes rolled, as if he had guessed something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Bamboo Garden.

Lu Luxian was bored and talking to the two female gentlemen, and when he heard the news that came, the expression on his face was very entangled.

Expected, but also unreasonable.

She knew that Duan Mansion would invite the daughter of the Lu Mansion to Beijing under the banner of the Shangyuan Festival, mainly because Mrs. Jiang wanted to see her with her own eyes.

However, she didn't expect to pick today's day. I also gave a gift.

This, Sima Zhao's heart, right?

Mr. Deng and Mr. Zeng congratulated her with smiles.

Lu Lu hung his head deeply, smiled bitterly, and then sent the guest listlessly.

The two female gentlemen didn't know how to do it. Lying in the east and west wings of Zhuyuan, Lu Lu was afraid that the running and jumping would be exposed, so he had to find another excuse and said: "Go to my mother's courtyard." ”

She brought spring grass, summer pattern and little green out of the garden.

Deng Fuzi watched her leave under the porch, and his head was not ****: "Do you think she is acting strangely?" ”

Mr. Zeng behind him pursed his lips and smiled: "Let her go." ”

"Would you like to follow along?"

"Don't you? Aunt Yi is not in the house. Presumably, the two sisters couldn't figure it out. Even if there is a small calculation, the big girl also has her own way of coping. ”

Deng Fuzi thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay." I'll go into the house and rest, you see. ”

"Mr. Deng, you're too cautious, aren't you?"

Deng Fuzi glared at her, and replied awe-inspiringly: "Entrusted by others, you should do your best." ”

"Alright, I got it." Master Zeng pursed his lips and smiled and pushed her into the house. Then beckoned: "Dongmei ......"

The sky is getting dark, and the grass and trees are covered with frost.

After Lu Lu confirmed that there were only four masters and servants, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiaoqing: "Go and call Xiaohuai." Well, I'm waiting at the side door of the hall. ”

"Yes, girl." Xiaoqing is more obedient than Chuncao Xiawen. The girl did whatever she said.

Chuncao was puzzled: "Girl, what are you doing calling Xiaohuai in this big night?" If you have any orders, let him do it. ”

"There are orders, but they can only be commanded to their faces."

Lu Lu hurriedly led the two of them to the back hall of the Pang family.

The Ponzi Hall House is also quite lively.

The concubines of the Zhu family, the Yu family and the Chen family are all there, and Lu Duan is naturally also there.

They were amazed around a box.

The girl picked up the curtain and reported: "The big girl is here." ”

Lu Lu stepped into the door and received countless attentions.

Zhu smiled first: "The big girl came just in time." ”

"Sister Lu, come and take a look." Lu Duan also beckoned happily.

Lu Lu smiled, and after saluting Pang Zi and the others, Fang probe looked at the iron-inlaid square wooden box, and asked with an innocent smile: "What is this?" ”

Lu Mingyan pouted: "Your gift." ”

"Wow, that's so much?" Lu Lu took a closer look.

The box was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and it almost blinded her.

Yu Shi pointed to the cloth on the table and said, "Ah, there is still here, all of which are official silk and satin." ”

"Hehe, thank you." Lu Lu was quite happy.

Yes, yes, after a coming-of-age ceremony, I received so many gifts. I just took it with me.

Qiao Yuanlu had a strange expression and asked, "Big cousin, do you really accept it?" ”

"What's wrong? Wasn't it a gift from a guest? Can't I take it? Lu Lu was still puzzled.

The room was silent for a moment.

After a while, Pang Zi spoke and said, "Sister Lu, just take a look at this box of gifts." It is true that it cannot be collected. ”

"Mother, why is that? Do you want to fill the treasury? ”

Lu Duan was also strange: "Sister-in-law, why can't you accept it?" ”

Is she still going to rely on this relationship line to help her husband reinstate?

Pang Zi looked at Lu Lu, she was the last to come here, I'm afraid I don't know who gave this box of gifts, right? (To be continued.) )
