Chapter 187: New Year's Greetings

Lu Qingrong has a very good impression of the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

When she was a child, she saw the grand occasion of Jiang Yuanzhao leading the army in Deshengmen, which has always been deeply imprinted in her memory.

And this time, when he learned that he was going to Zhenbei General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, Lu Qingrong inevitably slandered Jiang Xuan a little in his heart, and he didn't tell her in advance.

This was the first time she had gone to the General's Mansion, and thinking that it was the maiden home of the late Mrs. Jiang, she naturally attached more importance to Cheng DΓΉ.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Qingrong also got up early, and he dressed up more carefully than when he went back to his parents' house.

Luzhu knew the weight, and the clothes she prepared for her were also very appropriate.

The goose yellow with emerald carved silk plum pattern is more than the nail, and inside is the water pink stand-up collar middle coat and the same color eight skirts, which not only has the atmosphere of the New Year, but also loses the solemnity.

It's just that before going out, Lu Qingrong took a picture of his clothes in the mirror and the fallen horse bun on his head, so that Lu Zhu couldn't quite understand, in the past, Mrs. seemed to care so little about her dress, and it seemed that she really attached great importance to the elders of the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

As everyone knows, Lu Qingrong is so abnormal, and it doesn't have much to do with the elders.

Just because she thought that she would meet Jiang Huijuan, the second cousin of the General's Mansion, she unconsciously wanted to dress herself up more carefully.

Lu Qingrong, who realized this, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his feelings for Jiang Xuan were indeed different. How could she have done such a thing before......

But when Jiang Xuan saw her dress, he only felt that it was very appropriate, and he didn't see any difference in the specifics, but he felt that it was indeed better than before.

When they arrived at the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong were extremely warmly received.

The two-room uncle's house, which does not eat together on weekdays, also sits at the same table today for the banquet. Jiang Yuanzhao, Jiang Yuanchang, the eldest aunt Tang, and the second uncle Song are all here.

And what surprised Lu Qingrong was that the two cousins did not avoid it, but sat around with everyone generously. I think this is a unique feature of the Jiangmen family, but they are all relatives, which is not excessive.

It's just that he still hasn't seen any of his legendary cousins.

The cousin of the eldest uncle's family is far away in the Mobei Army, and it is certain that he will not come back. Unexpectedly, the cousin of the second uncle's family in Fengtai Daying was also on an errand and did not return home for the New Year.

At first, Lu Qingrong was still a little restrained, but soon became much more relaxed. Because she could clearly feel the enthusiasm of her eldest aunt Tang for herself.

Tang really likes Lu Qingrong very much, firstly, she has loved Jiang Xuan very much since she was a child, and she loves Wu and Wu; Second, she is still a little superstitious, thinking that it was Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong who became married, and her body got better day by day.

Although the second aunt Song is not as enthusiastic as Tang's, she has always been smiling and welcoming people, and from time to time she will shush the cold and ask for warmth.

Among all the people at the table, there was only the second cousin Jiang Huijuan, and it was difficult to laugh from the heart when she looked at Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong looked at her barely squeezing out a smile at first, and felt a little tired for her. Jiang Huijuan smiled more and more naturally, and in the end, even Lu Qingrong felt that she was very much from the heart.

But I didn't want to, my nature was hard to change, Jiang Huijuan still spoke out and provoked a topic that made everyone not so happy.

"I heard that the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion is going to hold a happy event again?" Jiang Huijuan looked innocent and asked curiously.

"Exactly, the second cousin is really well-informed." Lu Qingrong responded with a smile, not seeing anything else. In fact, she was really not angry, but she didn't expect Jiang Huijuan to know the twists and turns.

On the contrary, the eldest aunt Tang was slightly embarrassed when she heard this. After all, she was born in the Yanguo Mansion, and now the young lady of the Tang family uses this disgraceful way to marry someone else as a wife, even though she is only a concubine, it is still a shameless thing. After all, the Yanguo Mansion does not have the drill camp of the Wu family, and no matter how common a flat wife is in the Great Qi Dynasty, it cannot be compared with the wife of the main family.

"Then do you want to have a banquet and recognize your relatives at that time?" Jiang Huijuan continued to ask.

"I don't know." Lu Qingrong patiently explained: "But the second cousin doesn't need to worry, even if you want to recognize your relatives, our general's mansion doesn't need to join in this fun." "Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Jiang are two different things, and Jiang Ke and Jiang Xuan are also not the same thing.

As soon as Lu Qingrong's voice fell, everyone at the banquet had different expressions, as if they didn't expect this meek and soft-looking woman to say such meaningful words.

Only Jiang Yuanzhao heard this, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and while he was relieved, he was still sighing that Mrs. Wu had thousands of choices, and she had exhausted all the organs, and she actually helped Jiang Xuan marry such a wife.

Jiang Huijuan, who was the only one who asked this, was confused by her answer, and she didn't even understand why others listened to Lu Qingrong's words with such expressions.

Jiang Huijuan originally wanted to continue to ask, but seeing that Jiang Yuanzhao's eyes looking at her already had an obvious warning meaning, she could still see this, and immediately stopped speaking, only muttering in her heart, why did Lu Qingrong say such rude words, and the uncle was still facing her.

After that, until the end of the feast, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

But after the dismissal, it became a separate room for men and women, and Lu Qingrong had to be separated from Jiang Xuan, and had refreshments with the ladies of the General's Mansion in the small flower hall. Although I didn't eat too much just now, I still didn't have a good appetite at this time, just drinking tea and listening to the two aunts and uncles.

However, Jiang Yuanzhao was not there at this time, and Jiang Huijuan seemed to have the intention of asking questions again.

Originally, the second aunt Song had always loved this daughter and never been too harsh, even if she was so rude during the banquet just now, she didn't stop drinking it immediately. But at this time, listening to her still holding on to Tang Shan and Jiang Ke's family affairs, she was also a little angry in her heart, after all, she didn't care much about Lu Qingrong's thoughts, but this was Tang's taboo after all, and it was better to mention it less.

This time, when Jiang Huijuan asked again, "Can the happy event of the Hou Mansion be set?" At that time, the Song family directly interrupted it and said to Lu Qingrong: "Speaking of this happy event, my mother's Chengping Marquis Mansion also has a case, and eighty percent of them are still people recognized by Mrs. Shizi!" ”

"Oh?" Lu Qingrong put down the teacup in her hand, after all, it was the elders who played with her, and she listened very respectfully.

"It's my niece, the eldest daughter of the second room, has the lady of the prince ever recognized?" The Song family has no appearance of elders at all.

This is talking about Song Miaoxue.

"Yes." Lu Qingrong followed and said, "At that time, we used to study together in the Moxiang Academy of the Yanguo Mansion. As he spoke, he smiled at Mrs. Tang.

Although it has been a long time since she left the women's school, Lu Qingrong still has a very deep impression of Song Miaoxue. At the beginning, she was the most prominent in the women's school, and the topics that everyone talked about during the lunch break were basically all raised by her, and the well-informed Cheng DΓΉ was on par with her mother, the second lady of the Chengping Houfu.

I didn't hear the news that she was going to get married.

As soon as the Song family heard that Lu Qingrong really knew, he said more energetically: "When I went back to pay New Year's greetings yesterday, I heard that she had already married the prince of Wuding. ”

Cui Shiyun's brother Cui Yan? Lu Qingrong looked very calm, but he was surprised in his heart.

She and Cui Yan had a relationship, and at the flower viewing banquet in the palace last year, she and Jiang Xuan met the second prince and Cui Yan in the palace. During the period when Jiang Xuan said he was sick, it was Cui Yan who replaced him as the companion of the second prince.

Lu Qingrong couldn't remember Cui Yan's appearance very much, but he remembered that the impression at that time was excellent.

What's more, regardless of the character and appearance for the time being, in terms of background alone, the promising prince of the Marquis of Wuding, and the second room of the Marquis of Chengping, who has fallen to the point of sitting on the empty mountain, don't sound very compatible.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong suddenly secretly blamed himself, I am afraid that he has been in this ancient period for a long time, and he unconsciously compared to the identities of the two families, it really shouldn't be. Not to mention anything else, just talking about her relationship with Jiang Xuan, it sounds even more disparity......

Although the eldest aunt Tang is enthusiastic, she is not very good at small talk, and the same is true of the eldest cousin Jiang Huichun.

When Song finally finished telling all the things she knew, there was silence in the room.

And just when Jiang Huijuan seized the opportunity to say something more, Jiang Xuan had already sent someone from the front hall to pick up Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong was pardoned, and then got up to say goodbye to his two aunts and cousins.

"I thought you'd talk to your uncle for a little longer." Lu Qingrong sat in the carriage back to the house and leaned next to Jiang Xuan easily, "Why did you leave so quickly?" ”

"I'm afraid you're not comfortable." Jiang Xuan said truthfully: "It's the same when I talk to my uncle!" ”

"I'm not uncomfortable!" Lu Qingrong didn't want to be hard-mouthed, and she didn't know why she would say so.

Jiang Xuan smiled casually, understanding that she didn't want to embarrass herself.

"The second cousin is not very kind to you, I can also see this." Jiang Xuan said slowly: "The eldest aunt and eldest cousin are very kind, and the second aunt spoils her very much, I'm afraid that no one can control her!" ”

He knew it clearly, Lu Qingrong thought to himself, and at the same time he was a little happy because of his concern.

"And this is the first time I went to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings after my mother passed away." Jiang Xuan's tone was flat.

"Why is that?" Lu Qingrong couldn't understand.

"The first two years were not in good health, and then the previous ...... Maybe it's still young, not sensible. Jiang Xuan said very simply.

Thinking of Jiang Xuan's situation over the years, Lu Qingrong felt that the reason for this might cause some bad memories, so he didn't ask again.

Back at the Lu Mansion, Lu Qingrong felt a little tired, although he had only been out for half a day, he was even more tired than yesterday after tossing all day.

"Are we going out tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"Nope." Jiang Xuan smiled: "How can there be so many places to go?" ”

Lu Qingrong was naturally happy, but suddenly thought of the second prince: "Don't you have to go to King Jing's Mansion too?" ”

"No, you don't." Jiang Xuan replied simply, "Just get the courtesy, the palace is different from the people next to it, it's not good if it's too lively." ”

Lu Qingrong nodded thoughtfully.

It was completely different from before she got married, and the Chinese New Year became a hard errand for her in a blink of an eye, and when she learned that she could finally rest for a few days, she suddenly felt a lot easier.

However, at this time, Qiu Jinting in the Feng Courtyard was far less relaxed than her.

As soon as she remembered the scene of returning to the princess's mansion with Jiang Ke yesterday, she held back the fire in her belly, and Ren Xiangqiao persuaded her that pregnant people should not be angry, but it was useless.

Jiang Ke has always ignored her these days, but he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to the princess's mansion, he would change into another person, gentle and polite, and have a degree of advance and retreat, at the end of the day, people up and down the princess's mansion were full of praise for him.

If it's just like this, it's okay, and it's not the first day that Qiu Jinting has known Jiang Ke, but because of his appearance, Princess Chengyang directly called him to beat him up.

"The last time you went back to the house and asked us to promise Jiang Ke to marry a flat wife, I thought he had become unreasonable, so in order to make you suffer less grievances, I reluctantly agreed to this unreasonable request. Looking at it today, Jiang Ke is obviously still the same as before, and he is a very reasonable person. Tell me what kind of style you are smoking, you have to marry your man to a wife! "Princess Chengyang came up and grabbed white, feeling that she hated iron but not steel.

Qiu Jinting has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never suffered this kind of grievance, and at this time, he suddenly felt that he was not a human being inside and out, and it seemed that he was not right to say anything.

Of course, she couldn't recruit her mother from the truth, so she had to find another reason: "Anyway, he will take a concubine in the future, what does it matter if he is early or late......"

"That's a concubine, how can a peaceful wife be the same?" Princess Chengyang really didn't understand what Qiu Jinting thought, "If the flat wife has an heir, she is also a son-in-law, do you know?" ”

"Yes, you said it last time." Qiu Jinting didn't care too much about this, and thought to himself, it shouldn't be difficult for Tang Shan to not be able to give birth to a child, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if she really gives birth to a son-in-law, it is also a flat son-in-law, how can she be compared with a sister-in-law!" ”

The more Princess Chengyang listened, the more angry she became, but she thought that she was a person with a double body, and she couldn't bear to be angry with her anymore. After all, this flat wife is already a sure thing, she doesn't intend to regret it, she just wants Qiu Jinting to pay enough attention.

In the end, he was told by his mother for a long time, and when Qiu Jinting came out of the princess's mansion, he had been extremely disappointed.

It's just that there is still good news, that is, there is finally a way to get He Qingwan into the Hou Mansion to accompany her for a few days.

Although Princess Chengyang didn't like He Qingwan, she also felt that she was a transparent child, at least she knew more than Qiu Jinting in terms of human sophistication, and she was happy to help Qiu Jinting with this.

Therefore, when Qiu Jinting returned to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wu heard such a statement, to the effect that the princess's mansion invited a senior monk to divinate Qiu Jinting, and concluded that Qiu Jinting and the fetus in her womb would have a catastrophe, and a person born at a certain time in her pregnancy would be accompanied by her constant companionship in order to survive this catastrophe.

And needless to say, this qualified person is He Qingwan.

As soon as Qiu Jinting left Qinyi Courtyard, Lu's mother couldn't help but discuss: "This statement of the second grandmother sounds a little ...... suspense."

"It's not just hanging, it's just nonsense!" Mrs. Wu said directly.

"And you promised her?" Lu's mother was puzzled.

"This kind of thing involving Ke's son and heir, I would rather believe it." Mrs. Wu sighed, "And the family affair with the Yanguo Mansion has already been finalized, and I am not afraid that something will go wrong with them and affect us." ”

Lu's mother laughed on the side.

"I didn't expect that Jinting had such a good relationship with that young lady of the He family!" Mrs. Wu pronounced the word "He" very seriously.

Mother Lu naturally understood the meaning, but she felt that Mrs. Wu's affection for Mrs. Shizi was a little out of control.

In the past, Mrs. Wu did things with a strong sense of purpose, all for the future of the second master, but now it seems that because the affairs of Yuyuan are always not as she wishes, she has begun to target Lu Qingrong everywhere. In other words, her purpose is no longer clear, as long as it can disgust Lu Qingrong, she is willing to do it. Just like this time.

Looking at Qiu Jinting's side again, she should be happy that she had finally done something, but because Jiang Ke came back and put on that cold face, she couldn't be happy anyway.

The reason why Qiu Jinting was angry at this moment was because Jiang Ke continued to go to the study without saying a word last night.

It turned out that the careful care and gentle words in the princess's mansion yesterday were all fake.

"The second master is just worried about your body, and when you give birth to a child, it will definitely be the same as when you first got married!" Xiangqiao persuaded and persuaded her, there was always only one sentence, and she only thought that she would hurry up to the Lantern Festival, and Miss Cousin would be able to come over to accompany the second grandmother.

However, after the Lantern Festival, He Qingwan was going to come to the Hou Mansion, and it was not until the day of the Lantern Festival that Mrs. Wu called Lu Qingrong to Qinyi Courtyard to sue her. Seeing that Lu Qingrong's face was still as usual when she heard this, Mrs. Wu insisted that she was just pretending to be calm.

In fact, Lu Qingrong really didn't take this matter to heart, He Qingwan went to Fengyuan to accompany Qiu Jinting, and it really had nothing to do with her.

On the contrary, on the way back from Qinyi Courtyard just now, a figure she saw near Jiang Xuan's study made her a little puzzled.

The man was walking into the study at the time, far away, and there was some backlight, she didn't see his face clearly, but the white clothes and the walking posture that was obviously out of tune made Lu Qingrong always feel very familiar, but she thought it was unlikely to be him.

"Luzhu, you go to the study of the prince of the world and ask Mo Nan who went in just now!" Lu Qingrong still couldn't help but command.

After a while, Luzhu came back and replied.

Facts have proved that Lu Qingrong is not mistaken, that person is really Jiang Ling. R1152
