I don't know how Lu Zhenyuan responded to the old lady, in short, after seeing the mother and son close the door and talk for half an hour that day, the eldest lady was punished and grounded for a month, and the old lady also stopped and stopped looking for trouble.
Zhihua didn't bother to care about what deal they made, and was happy to be quiet for half a month. On April 17, Minyi sent someone to send a post, and three days later it was the fiftieth birthday of Princess Duanhui, when the eldest princess's mansion feasted guests, hoping that Zhihua could come to participate.
Zhihua's daughter's family, which was scheduled to get married, should not have been a guest at will, but Minyi had an extraordinary relationship with her, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess took good care of herself, so she decided to go to the banquet on time without thinking about it.
Minyi is already fourteen, which is the age of the family. I'm afraid that the eldest princess held a high-profile banquet this time, and the most important thing was to choose a good family affair for her, and Zhihua also wanted to help her palm.
In the afternoon, after a nap, she embroidered her wedding dress in the house as usual. Suddenly, I heard Chunxi announce outside the door: "Miss, Miss Three, Miss Four have come to see you." β
"Let them in." Zhihua's movements froze, and after a moment of silence, she had a bottom in her heart.
After a few breaths, Zhilan's pretended affectionate voice sounded at the door: "Eldest sister, I'll bring my fourth sister over to play with you." And when he had said this, he had gone into the inner chamber.
Zhihua looked up at Zhilan, who was twelve years old and pretending to be innocent, and Zhi'an, the silent and docile little follower behind her, and smiled good-naturedly. I don't blame them for not doing the salutation.
"The third sister and the fourth sister are really rare guests, please sit down."
After the tea greetings, the three sisters casually chatted about some inconsequential topics in the boudoir.
It didn't take long. Zhilan couldn't hold her breath, threw a look at her side, and heard Zhi'an say softly: "Eldest sister, I heard that the eldest princess's birthday banquet gave you a post?" No, I don't know if it's okay then...... Why don't you take the third sister with me? After stumbling and stumbling, Zhi'an's face was covered with redness, her hands were folded on her laps, and her two index fingers were secretly stirring unconsciously. looked at Zhihua and waited for her to reply.
"Yes, eldest sister, we have never been to such a banquet full of nobles. I want to follow you for a long time. Zhilan was on the side to help.
Zhilan and Lu Yan were born in the same year, and they will turn twelve this year, which is also the age when they can talk about marriage. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wants to choose a husband for Minyi, and she brings her two younger sisters of appropriate age to attend. Some don't quite fit. Therefore, Zhihua opened her mouth and wanted to refuse.
But as soon as he came into contact with Zhi'an's eyes full of pleading. I suddenly recalled the feelings of my previous life in my mind, and my heart softened again. At this birthday banquet, those who can receive invitations are all wealthy nobles. With the Lu family's family, if Zhihua and Minyi weren't friends, even if she was now a townsman, she would not be eligible to participate.
For Zhilan, this birthday banquet is really a rare opportunity to fly on the branches, but Zhi'an is different. She is a sensible and peaceful concubine. It should be clear that even if you go with it, it will not be a good fate to be taken alike. Pleading with myself so urgently at the moment. Presumably because he was afraid of being used as a punching bag by Zhi'an after being rejected, right?
In just a moment, Zhihua's heart had already turned around several times, and finally made up her mind, "It's not impossible to take you there, but you have to promise me one thing." β
"Don't say one, ten things are made. Eldest sister, let's talk about it. Zhilan smiled and narrowed her eyes, and took a sip.
I didn't expect the eldest sister to speak so well, Zhi'an lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Zhilan will be in a good mood in the next few days, and she will not be beaten.
The expressions of the two younger sisters were in full view, and Zhihua remained silent, still looking gentle and amiable: "I just need you to remember one thing, at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, see more and talk less." You can't be as open-mouthed as you are at home, otherwise even if you don't offend people, you will leave a bad impression, understand? β
Zhilan's face was pale, and she also knew that she was saying this to herself, but the eldest sister was right, so she nodded honestly: "My sister wrote it down, and on that day, she will definitely not mess around." β
The three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was April 20th.
When Zhihua walked to the second gate of the Lu Mansion, the two younger sisters were already waiting here. The parents of the third-room sisters are not around, and they have always been at odds with the second-room Zhilan, knowing that she is going today, they are unwilling to go with her so as not to cause trouble in vain. It's also that none of them mentioned it, if they knew that this banquet was a rare opportunity for sparrows to turn over, who would mind being ridiculed by Zhilan. I have to grind my face with a dead face, and the eldest sister promised to take them.
I saw Zhilan's dazzling red silk satin skirt from afar, the weather in April was still a little cool, in order to reveal the most brilliant exquisite and gorgeous phoenix gold embroidery on the placket, there were no more sets of plackets outside. The cold wind in the early morning blew so cold that she copied her sleeves with both hands, and her grease-smeared face couldn't hide the whiteness.
In comparison, Zhi'an on the side is much more low-key. Dressed in a new beige jacket skirt, covered with a dark red and old-fashioned twig pattern gown, the jewelry is simple and plain. Standing with Zhilan, it looks like she is the older one.
Zhihua laughed angrily, dressed so ostentatiously, did she plan to overshadow the limelight of the master's family? With this brain, still thinking about going to the eldest princess's birthday banquet to grab a husband with the county lord? Don't look at your own identity!
stepped forward at the moment, looked at Zhilan's happy and flattering face with cold eyes, and said without saltiness: "Give you a quarter of an hour to change this body." If I'm not satisfied, neither of you will have to go. β
Zhilan poured a bucket of cold water on her eldest sister as soon as she came, and a happy smile froze on her lips. "Why?"
"You're going to be a guest, not to the draft. Didn't the second lady teach you what hospitality is? I'm just waiting for you for a quarter of an hour, and then continue to break down and delay time, you don't plan to go, do you? β
Zhilan didn't dare to make another mistake, so she reluctantly turned around and left. As he walked, he took the attendant maid and let him angry: "You are a dead man!" Why don't you go and get my clothes, or if you want me to run back in person! β
There is a vacant hospitality courtyard near the second gate, where Zhilan plans to change clothes.
Zhi'an's head was about to drop to his chest, and his two hands unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in his hand. This situation broke out before she went out, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhihua definitely glanced at the fourth sister, knowing that she was a sensible person, and there was no need to mention it herself. was considerate of her crampedness, but there was an impatient look on her face: "Let's go, get in the carriage and wait." Do you still want me to blow the cold wind here? With that, he took the lead and got into the carriage.
The eldest sister spoke, and Zhilan couldn't blame herself for coming out for a while, so Zhi'an followed with low eyebrows.
Strange to say, she and her eldest sister have little contact, but they intuitively feel that the other party has a faint kindness to her, so when she gets into the carriage and is alone with her, she is no longer so nervous.
What they sat in today was the best carriage of the Lu family, which was specially used to go to other homes to support face. The whole carriage is made of fine red shirt wood, the exterior is decorated with gorgeous and unassuming silver ornaments, and the soft couch inside is very handy.
Zhihuajing opened the dark compartment a few times and took out the pastries prepared inside. first unceremoniously stuffed a piece for himself, and then handed a piece to Zhi'an: "Fill your stomach first." I went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and I don't know when I will be able to have lunch. β
Zhi'an took it with both hands, gently bowed her head to express her gratitude, and took a small sip.
"The two chefs in charge of the Eldest Princess's Mansion today are all transferred from Jingyue Zhai, and their skills are not bad. Anyway, you don't have any plans to go with you, you have to take the opportunity to have a good taste after the banquet, the third sister wishes you to eat more to set off her elegant and generous, I won't blame you. Looking at Zhi'an's thin little body, Zhihua was afraid that she would be restrained at the banquet, so she couldn't help but remind her.
Zhi An smiled, and two small pear vortices appeared on her face, showing a little pretty. She swallowed the pastry in her hand, took out the teapot and teacup embedded in the small table next to her, poured a cup for Zhihua and Zhilan first, and then it was her turn. As she poured the tea, her sleeves slipped down her raised hands, and the white jade arms were covered with a touch of black blue.
Although Zhi'an immediately raised her sleeves, Zhihua still saw the bruise clearly in just a moment, and her face immediately sank: "The third sister will beat you on weekdays!" β
This is not a question sentence, Zhi'an knew that it was useless to deny it when she heard it, and glanced at the eldest sister timidly, she didn't know how to speak, so she could only bow her head and remain silent.
Zhihua lifted the curtain and looked out of the car. Her eyesight was good, and she could faintly see Zhilan's figure coming from a distance, so she lowered the curtain and said to Zhi'an briefly: "Don't worry, I will find a way for you." β
Zhi An looked up in surprise, but Zhi Hua kept silent and said no more, and her face showed the gentle and distant look of the past.
This time, Zhilan learned a lesson, and honestly changed into a well-behaved dress, and the gorgeous and dazzling jewelry just now was also reduced by half, and she looked much more peaceful. After getting into the carriage, she lowered her body and took the initiative to greet the eldest sister, although there was still a little unconvincing in her tone, the deferential expression on her face was also in place.
Zhihua didn't deliberately make things difficult for her anymore, and answered without being salty, and then ordered the coachman to set off.
