Chapter 289
The full moon is different from the washing ceremony, it is much more solemn than the washing ceremony, and because of the hindrance of Lu Ping's face and Zhang Wan'er's character, Cuiru gave birth to the child's washing ceremony and did not make a big deal, only invited a few relatives and friends, and Lin Yu was invited because she happened to bump into Cuiru and Zhang Wan'er.
But now everyone knows the existence of that child, after all, he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and he is the only son in the eight years of marriage, so he can't be too harsh. Lu Pingzhi's former concubine Zihong entered the door with her pregnancy, but she only gave birth to a daughter, and she died before the full moon.
Therefore, in the case that Lu Pingzhi didn't know that he had become a pick-up man, according to common sense, this full moon banquet could not be too small, otherwise others would definitely look down on Lu Zhenyuan's Marquis Mansion. But with Zhang Wan'er's character, can she stand it?
It is said that Zhang Wan'er and Lu Pingzhi are husband and wife, but after falling in love freely, they broke through the obstacles of many feudal forces, and Lu Pingzhi also took a lot of effort to get rid of a group of little beauties led by a big beauty like Yin Susu, and finally achieved a positive marriage. But the two of them are still in the newlywed honeymoon period, but they quarrel constantly, and there are so many couples in the capital, and they are not as outrageous as they are.
It is not appropriate to respect each other like Lu Pingzhi and Yin Susu at the beginning, but it is too different to make trouble like Lu Pingzhi and Zhang Wan'er, and it is just a joke for others. Love and marriage are not the same thing after all, love is a matter between two people, and marriage is a matter between two families or even more families. And Zhang Wan'er has too high expectations for married life, but her own marriage is built on an unstable foundation. If you have a superb skill to deal with many crises, you will naturally be disappointed.
"Do you think the Zhang family will come out to receive guests today? Will you get into trouble with the Marquis of Zhenyuan again? This question is not only Lin Yu would think of. Even the maids in the family thought of it, and the pearl in the carriage asked.
"I looked at the hanging, although in other houses, it is common for the housewife to take care of the full moon ceremony of the concubine. But Zhang's character, let alone showing up, even if you think about it, you must not have a nose. The face is not the face. Before Lin Yu could speak, Narcissus interjected, and she worked with Lin Yu for a while. Although he is still so careful and cautious, he is not as careful as before, but he has let go a lot. She was originally a maid in the backyard of the nobles of the family, and she knew more about the things between the backhouses than Pearl.
"But these days. It seems that you haven't heard the news of the trouble in the Hou Mansion? Lin Yu didn't make a conclusion. Rather, I thought about it.
"I don't think so, but you haven't been paying much attention to this lately, miss." Narcissus smiled, "There have been a lot of things recently, but I heard that the person who sent the invitation said that the Hou Mansion also sent an invitation to Miss Qingqing, and I don't know if our county lord will go." ”
"Probably not." Lin Yu thought about it and said, according to the current custom, the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion is the old owner of Qingqing, and he must go to give gifts. But Qingqing's identity is extraordinary, and she really wants to go. Both Qingqing and Hou Fu will be embarrassed. If there is someone as unsightly as Lu's, when asked about Qingqing, will Qingqing admit it or deny it?
Lin Yu sighed at first, but soon his mood improved, so if he could do everything as he wanted, why should he be too extravagant? Qingqing was already very lucky to be able to get back his identity, when Qingqing was in the situation, if he hadn't sold himself into the Hou Mansion, he was afraid that he would not have died early!
So she took the initiative to change the topic, talking about what jacket to add in autumn, and the daffodil pearls and several maids were quite interested in this and helped to make suggestions. Talking and laughing, time flies quickly, but for a while, I arrived in front of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion.
Today is not as few people as last time, there are bustling cars and horses parked at the door, Lin Yu raised her eyes and saw a duchess whom Yin Susu introduced her, and the other party also saw her, showing a smile, Lin Yu hurriedly walked over to greet and speak.
"Isn't this a girl? Let's go in together. "This Duchess of Xingguo, He, is a gentle lady in her forties, she only has three sons, because Lin Yu is beautiful and pure, and her demeanor is quite graceful, she has always liked her.
"I haven't seen you in a few days, how did you eat the snacks you asked someone to bring you last time?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"I like the pine nut and jujube paste stuffed chongyang cake, but I ate too much that day, and it was a little difficult to restrain it." The Duchess of Xingguo, He Shi, said with a smile.
"The pine nut and jujube paste stuffing is a little greasy, and the glutinous rice cake is not very easy to digest, and when the festival is over, if Mrs. likes it, just tell me, I will ask someone to make it and send it."
"It's hard for you to think about it." Duchess Xingguo said with a smile, "When I want to ask you for it, I can't shirk it." ”
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Just send someone over, although I am a small family and don't have any good things, I can still be filial piety when I eat dim sum." ”
Although relying on the big tree of Yin Susu, Lin Yu's several business facades are very peaceful, although the business is booming, no one comes to the door to make trouble, and there is no such ill-intentioned attempt to steal. But there is always no harm in making friends with a few more nobles, and in the past year, just sending wine and food to the rich families of these big families, there will be a profit of two or three thousand taels of silver on the side of the restaurant.
Right now, although Lin Yu recognized King Qi as his father-in-law, and Qingqing became the county lord again, even without Yin Susu's support, ordinary people would not trouble her, but these princes are the most noble nobles except for members of the royal family, like this Duchess of Xingguo, her husband's family is the Yuan family of Longxi, which one can she easily offend? Moreover, harmony makes money, and you always have to get along well with others before you can do business, right?
And the Duchess of Xingguo did not bring her daughter-in-law and daughter with her this time, and she was also happy to have a companion, so the two talked and laughed all the way, extremely harmonious. When I arrived at the place where the guests were entertained, there were already many female dependents, but the most noble one was the Duchess of Xingguo, although the other princesses and palaces also had intersections with the Lu family, but no one came in person and gave a few gifts. It was Lu Pingzhi's cousin, the third prince, who was busy with affairs recently, so he only gave a gift and showed his face.
It was Zhang Wan'er who surprised Lin Yu, she was wearing a green sprinkled flower skirt embroidered with gold and silver threads, and a light blue brocade top on her upper body, which was very fresh and beautiful, and she was entertaining guests. Seeing the Duchess of Xingguo and Lin Yu coming in side by side, he got up and said with a smile, "I really don't want the Duchess of Xingguo to come over in person, Haitang, quickly pour tea for Madame." ”
The relationship between the Duchess of Xingguo and Mrs. Lin is very good, so she came here in person today, who would have thought that she would only see that Zhang Wan'er did not see Mrs. Lin, and her face showed a trace of surprise, "What about your mother-in-law?" Why don't you see her? ”
Zhang Wan'er mentioned that Mrs. Lin didn't seem to have a nose or eyes like before, but said with a smile, "The old lady is joking with her grandson, and several elders are also over there, so I asked someone to bring Mrs. over?" ”
Seeing that she mentioned that her concubine and mother-in-law were smiling, not only Lin Yu, but also the Duchess of Xingguo, who knew some inside information, was also deeply puzzled. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she also had a quarrel with Lu Pingzhi, why was she so good this time?
Although the Duchess of Xingguo was also curious, she still wanted to meet Mrs. Lin first, nodded and asked someone to take her to see Mrs. Lin and ignored it, but Lin Yu looked at Zhang Wan'er twice, and saw Zhang Wan'er looking at Lin Yu with a smile and said, "What's the matter, you don't know me?" ”
"Shibei should be impressed for three days, I thought I was going to look at you with admiration, but in the end it was the original form again." Seeing her insinuating, Lin Yu couldn't bear to swallow her anger, sneered, and walked a few steps to chase after the Duchess of Xingguo to see Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin is Lin Ruoyu's cousin, and she should go to see her, and no one can say anything. Therefore, Zhang Wan'er didn't look back after seeing Lin Yu Xi finish herself, although her face changed, she didn't have a seizure in the end, she changed her face and smiled, and went to talk to other ladies' wives.
"Are you really teasing Sun? I also told you that daughter-in-law was lying. When the Duchess of Xingguo arrived at the main house where Mrs. Lin lived, she saw Mrs. Lin holding a child and talking to several old ladies.
"She has been living well these days, and the nurse sent by her mother, Mother Hu, is a reasonable person, and Zhang is willing to listen to her nurse. She took the initiative to say that if she helped Zhang Luo with the full moon ceremony, I would save a lot of effort. Mrs. Lin handed the child to the tits, stood up to greet the Duchess of Xingguo, and said with a smile. I thought she had the intention to mess up something, but now I don't have that bad intention. ”
"I was young before, maybe the Zhang family would know something when he was older." Duchess Xingguo sat down and said with a smile.
"If she's really good, I'll save some worry, for these two, how much gray my hair has been in the past year!" Old Madam Lin sighed. "I'm afraid that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and it won't be long before it returns to its original shape."
"Why do you do this frustration?" Duchess Xingguo persuaded, "Now that your grandson is also hugging, although it is a concubine, it is also a good thing, and when the Zhang family is also born next year, you will have a grandson to hug, and when you become a mother, maybe the mother's heart, the Zhang family can be better." ”
Although Mrs. Lin was not very hopeful about Zhang Wan'er's performance, she really welcomed the arrival of her grandson. Before, her son had been married for more than seven years, and there were wives and concubines in the house, but no one was happy, and there were many gossips, saying that Lu Pingzhi had a hidden disease, and Mrs. Lin was not sweating in her heart. Now that Cuiru has given birth to a white and fat child, the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion can be regarded as raising her eyebrows, and the big stone in Mrs. Lin's heart has also fallen to the ground.
She was relaxing in her heart, and just about to speak to the Duchess of Xingguo, she saw a girl wearing a lake green dress and a lotus lotus color Luo dress walking in, but it was Lin Yu. She is a little taller than a year ago, and her expression and temperament have changed greatly, but it is like a different person, looking at the light, Mrs. Lin didn't react a little.
