Lou Gongren felt that this was true. She was not conceited, but felt that only an elderly female official like her who came from the court could discover the true grandeur hidden under the weak and squeamish appearance of the third girl of Zongzheng. Such a girl, if her body is well conditioned, it will not be difficult to be a clan wife of a big family.

After all, Lou Gongren is very aware of the origin of the Yunhang Xiao clan and the Suzhou Hang Xiao clan. Even the descendants of the princess who fled and took refuge still have the blood of the Xiao royal family of the Jokhang Empire in their bodies, and they may still have the demeanor and momentum of the Empress Taizu, who pioneered the great cause of the Jokhang Empire thousands of years ago.

Lou Gongren finally completely figured out why the eldest princess of Qinghe wanted Pei Junshao to marry the third girl of Zongzheng home, which was really meaningful.

His eyes flashed, and the smile on Lou Gongren's face became more kind and gentle. She personally took a rosewood gold inlaid luodian wooden box, opened the lid of the box, only held the box in her hand, and said to Xu: "You girl is not feeling well, you come and take this thing for the girl to see." It's just a greeting gift, and it's not worth anything. ”

Zong Zhengke waved his hand at the Xu family, slowly stood up, blessed Lou Gongren, and said softly: "How dare you treat the hearts of the elders like this." As she spoke, she stepped forward without hurry, and bowed before taking the wooden box in Lou Gongren's hand with both hands.

The palm of his hand sank, Zong Zhengke lowered his eyes and looked at it, but saw a mutton fat white jade flower Buddha hand ornament with a rosewood base placed on the red flannel bottom at the bottom of the box. Both the base and the Buddha's hand are delicate and small, delicate and cute. She had an extraordinary eye and immediately recognized that it was a precious antique that had been passed down for at least two hundred years. Lou Gongren's meeting gift is really a bit too valuable.

However, the elders give it, and it is impossible to say goodbye. This is the number of rites. Therefore, Zong Zhengke knew that Lou Gongren's meeting ceremony was a little inappropriate, so he could only follow. Anyway, there will be a deal to fight in the future, when will it be bad to return the gift?

With such thoughts, Zong Zhengke was able to look at this jade Buddha hand ornament worth thousands of gold with a calm demeanor. She handed the wooden box to Xu Shi to hold, thanked Lou Gongren again, and returned to the chair to sit down.

This set of etiquette is really like flowing water, and Lou Gongren only feels pleasing to the eye. In addition to her poor health, the three girls definitely raised face when they were brought out. As for appearance, although people can't compare to Pei Si's exquisite jade carving, she is also a stunning beauty.

Lou Gongren asked affectionately: "Sister Ke, what pills do you take every day to nourish your body?" If you want me to say, your children don't usually need to take more medicine. This is a medicine that has three points of poison, and it must not accumulate drug poison for many years? If you don't eat and recuperate, the taste is not only good, but also good for the body. The eldest princess has a lot of food supplements there, and there are also those who condition the young girl's body. If you know that you are in need, the eldest princess will definitely not be stingy. ”

This Lou Gongren's attitude was a little too affectionate. Good and dignified, a stranger who has never met before, what is it to care so much about her body? Zong Zhengke was just about to get up and reply, but Lou Gongren said again and again: "Sit down and sit down, you kid don't have to talk about so many false courtesies." When you're well, let's do these rules. ”

can sit, Zong Zhengke is not willing to stand and consume the body. She sat down again and replied softly: "Thank you for your concern and kindness, it's just that the little girl doesn't usually use health pills, and this cold is just an accident." During the cultivation of the Qingjing Liuli Nunnery, Mrs. Huiyi once passed on the little girl's several health preservation methods. The little girl does not stop every day, practicing this method diligently to maintain her body. ”

Lou Gongren glanced at Mrs. Ren and was very unhappy. Even if it's a step-grandmother, who has never been raised by her side, how can an elder arrange the body and bones of the younger generation at will? Could it be that the Zongzheng family has a sick and crooked third girl, and the reputation of the other Zongzheng girls will not be damaged? Wouldn't people talk about the feng shui of the sectarian family not raising people?

is really from a small family, seems dignified and decent, and he really can't put it on the table when he talks and does things. Lou Gongren thought about it like this, and was a little hesitant. As long as she thought that one day in the future, her golden and noble fourth young master would kneel down and kowtow to the old woman in front of her who was smiling flatteringly and kowtow to call "grandmother", she felt panicked.

When Mrs. Ren saw Lou Gongren's sudden uncertain expression, her heart couldn't help but tighten. She also thought about whether she could please the powerful female official in front of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and a few more invitations to bring the Zong Zhengyu sisters together.

I also want to know that if I can attend a banquet at this level, it will be of great benefit to the future of the sisters. As for the Zongzheng of the third room, Mrs. Ren has never liked it, and she will not plan for it, let alone her granddaughters.

Seeing that Lou Gongren was displeased, Mrs. Ren only thought that Zong Zhengke's speech was inappropriate, so she glanced at Zong Zhengke, and apologized to Lou Gongren with a smile: "Sister Ke's little child's family, if there is anything inappropriate, please don't be surprised." ”

If it weren't for the wrong place, Lou Gongren really wanted to sigh. This Ren is used to giving orders at home, and because of the relationship between the patriarch Ding and his filial piety, he rarely appears in the social occasions of the famous families in Yuchuan County, and now he can't even look at it.

Lou Gongren smiled reservedly: "You misunderstood, from the perspective of Ben Gongren, Sister Ke is inappropriate in every place. She is a child, and she is worthy of being Mrs. Xiao's daughter. To tell you the truth, I once had a relationship with Sister Ke'er's mother. ”

Speaking of this, Lou Gongren's eyes were slightly red, and he continued to Zong Zhengke with some sentimentality: "Good boy, your mother is the first great-granddaughter under the knee of your great-grandmother Xiao Lao Taijun, and she is the most liked by her old man. When you were still the first emperor, your mother was about five or six years old, and there was a year when the Empress Dowager Renxiao had a grand ceremony, Mrs. Xiao was ordered to go to Beijing to pay homage to her birthday, and she was summoned by the Empress Dowager Renxiao and brought your mother into the palace together. When the Empress Dowager Renxiao saw your mother, she liked it so much that she rewarded your mother with a lot of things. ”

Empress Dowager Renxiao, this is the biological mother of the first emperor and the grandmother of Zong Zhengke in his previous life. She didn't have an impression, because in her previous life, when she was born, the Empress Dowager Renxiao had passed away for many years. When Lou Gongren mentioned his deceased mother, Zong Zhengke stood up to show respect and abide by filial piety.

Lou Gongren wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, stared at Zong Zhengke and said: "The eldest princess of Qinghe is the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager Renxiao, and she also took Grandpa Yiguo back to Beijing with her horse to celebrate her birthday. I was with you and saw your mother. The eldest princess also likes your mother very much, as if she loves something, and she wants to give birth to a lovely and intelligent daughter like your mother. ”

is not only the eldest princess of Qinghe, but Pei Yunjian, who was knighted Duke Yiguo that year, also likes Xiao Wenying very much, and Lou Gongren naturally will not tell this past. One of the reasons why Mrs. Zhou wanted her daughter-in-law to come to see Zong Zhengke in person was that Pei Yunjian almost married Xiao Wenying back then.

Lou Gongren was secretly sighing, not wanting the old lady to suddenly interject: "My eldest daughter-in-law's work is indeed inhumane, but it's a pity," she sighed and muttered with a bitter face, "Her blessing is too thin!" ”

Lou Gongren is really angry, I have never seen such a grandmother, what is not easy to say, but I want to poke at the most painful place of other children. She raised her eyes to look at Zong Zhengke, but saw that the girl's slightly drooping head was slowly raised, her eyes were also red, but her tone of voice could still remain calm and peaceful.

Zong Zhengke's heart was unhappy, but his face was full of sorrow, and he said in a low voice: "Father and mother have given me all the blessings, so that I can be happy under the knees of my grandfather and grandmother, and I have uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters who care for me like that." Daddy and mother bless us in heaven! ”

Listening to what people said, it not only fulfilled the gaffe of the step-grandmother, but also appropriately showed the goodwill and harmony of the Zongzheng family to outsiders. Lou Gongren didn't want to sit down anymore, anyway, on the birthday of the eldest princess in the future, there would be a chance to observe the three girls of Zongzheng in many ways. This old lady, she really doesn't want to deal with it anymore.

Lou Gongren motioned for Zong Zhengke to sit down again, and asked Yahuan to take out a gold red invitation card and send it to Xu's hands, saving Zong Zhengke from trouble. She said with a smile: "The eldest princess's birthday banquet, Sister Ke, you must come." The eldest princess is thinking of her relationship with your mother, and she really wants to see you with her own eyes. ”

Zong Zhengke got up and bowed his knees to Lou Gongren, and replied softly: "Thanks to the eldest princess's blue eyes, the little girl is grateful and honored, and she will definitely go to the banquet at that time." Please also ask the eldest princess to be honored on behalf of the little girl, and the little girl will come to kowtow to the eldest princess when the time comes. ”

Lou Gongren smiled and nodded, stood up slowly, and said to Mrs. Ren: "I'm really sorry to bother me for so long, and I ask my old sister to forgive me." I'm going to go home to reply, and then the old sister and Sister Ke will have to arrive a little earlier, so that I can do my best to entertain one or two. ”

When Mrs. Ren saw that Lou Gongren was leaving, she had the heart to mention the invitation, but she didn't think it was appropriate. She hurriedly got up to send her off, and Zong Zhengke followed silently.

However, after only three or two steps, Lou Gongren insisted on letting Zong Zhengke go back to the house, saying that it was still a little cold outside, but let Mrs. Ren send her to the door of the second gate all the way and sit in a soft sedan chair.

Zong Zhengke also didn't want to brush off the kindness of his elders, so he bowed his knees to Lou Gongren at the door and said goodbye. Xu put a cloak on her, and she took Xu's hand to leave Helu Tongchun Hall and go back to Qingyi Tower.

On the way, Xu said in a low voice: "Girl, before Mrs. leaves the pavilion, she is really a woman who asks for a hundred families." It's just that the old lady didn't want his wife to get married to the royal family, so he not only rejected Yi Guogong's proposal, but also politely refused...... her voice was almost inaudible, "When she was still the prince, the current emperor's proposal to marry." ”

The phoenix's eyes flashed with different colors, and Zong Zhengke's fingers slowly clenched. She really didn't expect that her good royal brother in her previous life would still covet her mother in this life, and she really had a bad fate that she couldn't cut anymore!
