"Actually, it's nothing." Lu Qingrong sighed slightly.

Jiang Xuan didn't look away, still looking at Lu Qingrong who was sitting on the other side of the carriage.

"In the past, when I went to the girls' school, I listened to them talk about what they didn't have, and I didn't think it was anything, and sometimes it was even a little annoying." Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his loss, "But I haven't been there for so many days, but I miss that feeling a little bit." ”

Especially today, everyone knows about Tang Yue's marriage to the second prince, but she just heard about it.

"You...... Do you want to go to school again? Jiang Xuan asked softly.

"Is that okay?" Lu Qingrong instantly became energetic, but he immediately realized that he had lost his words, and he hadn't heard of anyone who had become a relative and went to a women's school, not to mention that he married into a family like the Marquis of Jingyuan.

Seeing that she was reacting like this, Jiang Xuan also had some understanding in his heart: "Naturally, it will not be possible to go to the school." Even though I don't care much about these rules, it's not good for your reputation. ”

Of course, Lu Qingrong also understood in his heart, but the look on his face added a little loneliness.

"But......" Jiang Xuan paused slightly, "Although you can't go to women's school, if you still want to continue studying, we can invite a female gentleman to come to the mansion to give a lecture." ”

"I'm afraid it's not very good." Lu Qingrong wanted to continue studying, but he knew in his heart that the Great Qi Dynasty had always paid attention to the saying that "a man is virtuous, and a woman is virtuous if he is not talented", and he still didn't want to be too maverick if he got married.

"You can be flexible." Jiang Xuan said.

"How to be flexible?" Lu Qingrong was a little tempted.

"It's definitely a bit inappropriate to say that it's a matter of asking for advice, but it's much better if you change your name, such as embroidery, piano and the like." Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of something, "Isn't there a pine snow qin in your inner room, I think it's better to invite a gentleman in the name of learning the piano!" I heard that among the female gentlemen, there are also people who are proficient in the art of the piano, so I will go back and inquire. ”

"Really?" Lu Qingrong was very happy, although he couldn't go to the school with his former classmates, it was also a great thing to be able to follow a learned person to read more books in the lonely and monotonous inner house life, "Mr. Zhen of Moxiangyuan is a female gentleman who is well-versed in music and rhythm!" ”

"Then I'll go to the Yanguo Mansion another day." Jiang Xuan responded to this, looking at Lu Qingrong's excited expression at this time, he didn't know that the corners of his mouth were also curled.

"How do you know it's Song Xueqin?" Lu Qingrong suddenly remembered that she hadn't put the piano out on the day she got married, could it be a hurried glance when Jiang Xuan touched the bead curtain at night that day? It seems that he also knows something about the guqin, "Do you know how to touch the qin?" ”

"No, it won't." Jiang Xuan replied simply, "It's just that I've seen some in the palace earlier, and the second prince likes to collect this." ”

"Oh......" Lu Qingrong remembered the incident of meeting the second prince today, "What congratulatory gift did the second prince give you?" ”

"You can't forget it!" Jiang Xuan remembered that it was not the first time she had asked this today, and couldn't help but joke with her.

"I'm just curious, if there are any treasures that you have to pick yourself......"

"It's a screen." Jiang Xuan said simply.

"Screens? Is it as big as the one in our inner room? ”

"Pretty much."

"So big?" Lu Qingrong was obviously a little surprised, "Why don't you pick a small one?" This isn't easy to take. As he spoke, Lu Qingrong also glanced at the back of the carriage.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile a little hard this time: "Why don't we worry about it, the palace will naturally send someone to our house." ”

"Could it be that the second prince asked you to pick these big guys, and the screen is already small?" It's not so much that Lu Qingrong is asking questions, it's better to say that she is talking to herself.

Jiang Xuan seemed to deliberately want to avoid this question, but he didn't answer, and asked instead, "How are you over there?" What good things did the Queen Mother give you? ”

"How do you know that the Queen Mother gave me something?" Lu Qingrong was puzzled.

"Then you don't need to ask, we just got married, and there will definitely be rewards, which is also to save face for Mrs. Wu."

Hearing Jiang Xuan say this, Lu Qingrong agreed very much, and told him in one breath about the rewards he received from the Empress Dowager Wu and the crown princess today.

"Speaking of rewards, there is one more thing today." Lu Qingrong suddenly remembered, "When the Queen Mother summoned me in the main hall, the Queen Mother was not among them. Later, when we entered the table, we were not very close to the main table, but we followed everyone to salute the queen from a distance, and we didn't see anyone clearly. But after the flower-viewing feast, as soon as I walked to the gate of the imperial garden, there was a palace maid who sent those rewards, and I saw that in addition to the tortoiseshell Ruyi rewarded by the Queen Mother and the jade gourd rewarded by the Crown Princess, there was also a string of coral bracelets...... But the queen has already returned to the palace, and I haven't even been able to thank you, will there be something wrong? ”

"It's okay." Jiang Xuan didn't think about it and said: "The queen mother is generous, and she won't care about these false courtesies. Besides, since I rewarded you so quietly, I didn't intend to let you go to thank you, so you don't need to worry too much about it! ”

Lu Qingrong's heart fell to the ground with a stone.

Thinking that the queen mother had nothing to do with the Wu family, she suddenly felt that this description of "generous" was still somewhat credible......

By the time the carriage returned to Rong'en Street, Lu Qingrong's mood had changed a lot.

First, I no longer worry about not thanking the queen mother.

Second, Jiang Xuan agreed to help and invited Mr. Zhen to come to the house to give a lecture.

This made Lu Qingrong have a smile on his face until he returned to the Lu Mansion.

The first thing I did when I came back was to go to Qinyiyuan.

After all, entering the palace for a banquet is a big deal, and it is always unreasonable to report to Mrs. Wu when he comes back, Lu Qingrong doesn't want to be found wrong in terms of etiquette rules as soon as he comes up.

Coming to Qinyi Courtyard with Jiang Xuan, Mrs. Wu really hasn't rested yet.

Lu Qingrong did not forget to greet her body first, and then talked about the general situation of entering the palace for the banquet today, mainly mentioning the summons of the Queen Mother and those rewards.

Mrs. Wu listened with great interest at first, until she found that Lu Qingrong had nothing to do except for being summoned and rewarded, and she suddenly felt a little interested.

When she heard that the queen mother had also given a reward, Mrs. Wu finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever seen the queen mother?" ”

"It's just that I've seen it from afar, I think the queen didn't see me." Lu Qingrong told the truth.

Mrs. Wu's complexion eased slightly, and her tone was still not as relaxed as before: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly." Don't forget to go back tomorrow, I have already asked Mother Lu to prepare the gifts and send them to Yuyuan, you can bring them tomorrow. ”

Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan nodded yes and left Qinyi Courtyard one after another.

Walking on the way back to Yuyuan, Lu Qingrong was still thinking about what had just happened.

When Mrs. Wu heard that she had been rewarded and that her attendance at the banquet had been smooth from beginning to end, she did not have any joy, but looked depressed.

It seems that her previous guess was indeed correct, and Mrs. Wu's so-called physical discomfort was probably really just for her. But she really couldn't figure it out, even if she had a foreign appearance at the flower viewing banquet, so what? What other impact can it have on Jiang Xuan? From this point of view, the Empress Dowager Wu is really much more shrewd......

"What do you think?" Jiang Xuan saw that she hadn't said a word since she left Qinyi Courtyard.

"Mrs. Wu actually prepared a gift for us to return to Ning!" Lu Qingrong continued: "I thought we needed to prepare ourselves, we have prepared a lot of things in the past two days......

"You're in a hurry!" Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "Don't you know that Guining's gift is prepared by your son-in-law!" ”

"Of course I do." Lu Qingrong muttered in a low voice, "Aren't I worried that you'll forget about this......

Jiang Xuan hadn't mentioned this matter in recent days, and she didn't take the initiative to ask.

"I've got it ready." Jiang Xuan opened his mouth helplessly, "It seems that you and Mrs. Wu can't use the two copies." ”

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong was a little surprised, "Mrs. Wu doesn't need that share?" I haven't even seen it! ”

Jiang Xuan no longer answered, with a reasonable expression on his face, obviously still insisting on his decision.

When he returned to the Yu Courtyard, Jiang Xuan really didn't look at it, so he ordered the maids to move the things sent by Mrs. Wu directly to the warehouse and put them away.

"What have you prepared? Take it out and show me. Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at her.

Lu Qingrong asked Luzhu to show him the written gift list.

Jiang Xuan stared at the densely written piece of paper for a long time, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lu Qingrong's life experience, he naturally knows everything.

Her biological father is not Lu Yiduo, and Lu Yiduo also has her own biological children, especially this time she married in the name of Chongxi......

Thinking of his own situation, Mrs. Jiang died young, and in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Wu was a virtuous and virtuous stepmother who treated others generously, but in fact, only he knew the difference between his family and Jiang Ke.

So he took it for granted that Lu Qingrong's life in the Lu Mansion would not be too easy.

Although when he saw the makeup sent by the Lu family, he was also slightly surprised.

Of course, he had never seen the silver tickets and title deeds in Lu Qingrong's luggage.

At that time, he thought that this was nothing more than some flashy things, at most it was on par with the dowry of the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, looking at the gift list in his hand at this time, it is indeed very different from his imagination.

"You bought it all yourself?" Jiang Xuan's tone could not hide his doubts.

"yes." Lu Qingrong replied easily, not understanding why Jiang Xuan had a solemn expression at this time, "When you are not in the mansion these days, I am busy with this!" Why don't you put it with your gift list and send it away? It's all in your name anyway. ”

Jiang Xuan did not respond, but was silent for a moment.

"It's not early, you go and rest, we have to get up early tomorrow." Jiang Xuan finally spoke, but still did not respond to her words, and said while turning around and walking out of the inner room: "You sleep first, I'll go out and come back later." ”RS
