Lu Jinyi turned her head and saw her cousin standing behind her with a smile in a long gown embroidered with green embroidered entwined branches. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He Jiawan happily stepped forward and took her hand: "Mother, are you here?" I just mentioned you to Jinyi. ”
"As soon as I finished greeting the old lady, I came out to have a look." Although she is not from a prominent family, she has been influenced by the He family's books over the years, has an elegant temperament, and her appearance is also kind.
Lu Jinyi called her cousin, she glanced at Lu Jinyi up and down, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Jinyi has become more and more standard." ”
Lu Jinyi smiled embarrassedly, and He Jiawan on the side said: "Mother, don't make fun of her, this girl is thin-skinned and can't stand praise." ”
Mrs. He glanced at her with disgust and cast her gaze across the courtyard.
The official who had just stopped Fu Shaotang heard his slightly provocative words, and he was a little angry on the spot, and he stepped forward to reason with Fu Shaotang, Lu Tang held down his hand, walked in front of Fu Shaotang, and looked up at him.
He didn't say anything, but everyone in the hall had already felt the murderous aura between the two, and the atmosphere condensed to the freezing point, and everyone present didn't dare to gasp, just quietly watching the two Shangshu in the court and the middle of the country confront each other coldly.
The corners of Fu Shaotang's mouth were slightly upturned, and his expression was a little careless, while Lu Tang's face was gloomy, which was daunting......
In the end, it was Liu Huaizhu next to Fu Shaotang who broke the deadlock with her mouth, and she beckoned to the back: "This is the birthday gift that my second uncle gave to Mrs. Lu." ”
A maid came over with a long mahogany box, she took it and handed it to Lu Tang, "I wish Mrs. Lu a long life and a long life." ”
Her second uncle is Liu Can, the great eunuch who everyone in the court is in awe of!
The Qing faction hates the big traitor with itchy teeth!
Lu Delin, who was standing next to him, broke out in a cold sweat, what kind of day is it today, not only Fu Shaotang came, but even Liu Can gave a gift.
I don't know, I thought when Lu Tang climbed up to Liu Can and had a friendship with him.
Lu Tang is a person under Yang Zheng of the Qing School, once he has something to do with Liu Can, he will inevitably be excluded and suspicious by his colleagues who work with him.
This is not a good sign, after thinking about it, Lu Delin feels that it is time for him, as a big brother, to stand up and defend his younger brother.
He straightened his clothes, forcibly bowed his hand to Fu Shaotang and the others, and said with a smile: "The kindness of Fu Shangshu and Gonggong Liu, our Lu Mansion has received it...... My mother is old, and the birthday gifts of the two are too expensive, so I really don't dare to show them in front of my mother, which makes her frightened. ”
I have to say that he found a good excuse, Fu Shaotang's red coral, although he has not seen the true face of Lushan, but looking at this half-human-high box, he knows that it is worth a lot of money...... And the mahogany box in Liu Huaizhu's hand was given by Liu Can, and Fu Shaotang also obeyed Liu Can's orders, and the things sent by Liu Can would only be more valuable than Fu Shaotang.
He looked up and saw that Fu Shaotang didn't react, and then turned his head to look at Lu Tang, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "But since the two of you have come to the Lu Mansion, they are the guests of our Lu Mansion." Why don't you come in with me for a drink? ”
Lu Delin can mix well in the antique circle in the capital, except for Lu Tang's relationship, he himself is also a person who can be left and right, and he still understands how to behave in the world.
As soon as these words came out, several officials frowned, Fu Shaotang's reputation was there, and they didn't want to sit at the same table with him and drink at all!
Fu Shaotang couldn't see their dissatisfaction, but he squinted and smiled: "Lu Sheren is warmly invited, and this official is better than obeying his fate." ”
Originally, he didn't expect Lu Tang to accept his birthday gift, he waved his hand, asked people to carry things down, and ignored the black faces of the officials present, and took Liu Huaizhu into the banquet.
"Lord Lu, this person is inevitably too arrogant!" An official said to Lu Tang angrily, "It's bad for you to give Mrs. Lu a birthday!" ”
Lu Tang stared at Fu Shaotang's back, his eyes were deep: "Let everyone laugh, everyone go to the bar." I'll miss ...... first."
Everyone knew that he was going to settle accounts with Fu Shaotang and give him away.
Lu Delin looked at the two backs that left one after the other, and silently wiped two handfuls of cold sweat.
Today is also the old lady's birthday, I hope these two don't have any disputes...
"Mother, where has Jinyi gone?" He Jiawan was looking at it, and when she looked back, Lu Jinyi didn't know where she went, and couldn't help but ask Mrs. He.
"Fang is still here, why is it that the kung fu is gone after a while?" Mrs. He was also a little strange, why did the people who followed their mother and daughter to watch the play disappear in a blink of an eye.
"Will you go to pay a birthday to the old lady?" Mrs. He guessed that she was the granddaughter of the old lady and should have congratulated her on her birthday.
He Jiawan shook her head: "She obviously made an appointment with me to go together." What's more, even if she wants to go first, she should say hello to me......"
When Mrs. He heard this, her expression became solemn, there were many guests who came to celebrate her birthday today, and she was afraid that Jinyi would be a girl's family, and there was no maid around her, so she would meet someone who was not clean.
She was about to go with He Jiawan to find someone, when a middle-aged man came over with a smile not far away, "I thought who was hiding here and peeking, it turned out to be your mother and daughter." ”
It was He Jiawan's father, He Hongwen, who came over to give a congratulatory gift to Mrs. Lu.
He Jiawan hurriedly lowered her head and shouted to her father, He Hongwen is an old pedant, and he has been very strict in disciplining his children since he was a child, He Jiawan is a little afraid of him.
"If you don't come home for many days, it's hard for you to remember my father." He Hongwen glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "Your second sister will be out of the cabinet in a few days, and you, as a younger sister, won't even go back to look at her, it's really in vain that she has hurt you for so many years." ”
He Jiawan was obviously a little surprised, "The second sister's wedding date has been set?" ”
He Hongwen glared at her, and Mrs. He saw that the two fathers and sons were about to quarrel, so she hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, "It's the concubine who is busy paying birthday to the old lady, and she hasn't had time to tell Wan'er yet." ”
He Jiawan was still reprimanded by He Hongwen, and ordered her to wait for Mrs. Lu's birthday to go back to the He family, and before the second miss of the He family got married, she was not allowed to go out of He Mansion for half a step.
He Jiawan obediently responded, He Hongwen asked her to lead her to see Mrs. Lu, so naturally she didn't mention the matter of finding Lu Jinyi.
Lu Jinyi followed Fu Shaotang and Liu Huaizhu, it seemed that they were going to Mrs. Lu's Jing'an Hall, and there was no maid from the Lu Mansion to guide them, but Fu Shaotang was familiar with finding the way to Jing'an Hall.
Lu Jinyi felt a little surprised, and her steps unconsciously sped up a little, but halfway through, Fu Shaotang turned his head sideways and didn't know what to say to Liu Huaizhu next to him, Liu Huaizhu looked back, and then stopped, not following again.
