The round table set up for the wedding banquet is not very large, and a table is suitable for four or five people.

Lu Qingrong, Jiang Yunpei, and Lu Qianyu occupy three seats, and there are still vacancies.

At this moment, He Qingwan dragged Mrs. Chengping Hou Shizi and went straight to these two vacant seats.

He Qingwan was a little reluctant to come here, Lu Qingrong would not save face for her at all, she had already known it, not to mention that Lu Qingrong was still surrounded by two people at this time, especially that Lu Qianyu, who might be able to say something strange.

But Song Shixiang thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and insisted on pushing her over.

As for her sister-in-law Guo, she also couldn't stand the pampering of Song Shiji, the son of the Marquis of Chengping.

Lu Qingrong looked at the two people standing in front of them, He Qingwan was very familiar, but Guo Shi was a little surprised.

I saw that she was wearing an autumn-colored tuanhua placket, a leaf-yellow skirt, her hair was combed into a bun, and she wore a red gold and emerald head, which was a little half-new and not old, which made her already slightly rigid dress more old-fashioned.

And Guo looks like he is actually about 20 years old.

Knowing that she was Mrs. Chengping Hou Shizi, Lu Qingrong and the three of them nodded politely to her, and they didn't say anything more.

The first time I met Guo Shi face to face, I don't know what her temperament is, plus the female dependents who came out of the Chengping Marquis's mansion, from the second lady to Song Miaoxue, to He Qingwan, are not all the way to them.

And Guo Shi didn't even speak, just stood there motionless.

She was originally a wooden person, and she was very bad at talking to strangers, and she was annoyed by Song Shiji's words just now, and it was the limit to be able to come over with her scalp.

Especially in front of the ladies of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion and the Marquis of Wuding, she felt a little unable to raise her head.

Although she is the same as Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei, the actual difference is big.

Jiang Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Jingyuan, has outstanding military exploits, and he is the object of everyone's stuttering.

Cui Yan, the son of the Marquis of Wuding, is steady and steady, and his assistance is meritorious, although he is not as good as the former, but he also shows good strength.

Only they inherited the Marquis Mansion, which had already entered decline since the Marquis took the throne, and when it came to the generation of Song Shiji and Song Shixiang, it did not improve, and now they have gradually been marginalized by the noble circle in the capital.

And Guo is trapped in this anxiety and inferiority complex, and it is difficult to talk about it no matter what.

At this time, the only one who can insist on her standing here is He Qingwan, the wife of a concubine who is inferior to herself.

He Qingwan didn't know it, but Guo was not good at words, and he was a little proud because of it.

"How many ladies, I wonder if there are people sitting in these two empty seats?" He Qingwan asked softly.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong was silent, Jiang Yunpei was trying to find an excuse to let them leave, but he was a step too slow.

"No one!" Lu Qianyu said first.

Her mind is also simple, she feels that with Lu Qingrong's identity, it must not be possible to suffer, especially today is Mr. Chu's wedding banquet, which can barely be regarded as their home field.

Lu Qianyu thought alone, if she could take the opportunity to count He Qingwan for a while, it would be good to help Lu Qingrong vent her anger.

When He Qingwan and Guo Shi heard this, they immediately sat opposite each other.

Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes, on the other hand, Lu Qianyu's slightly cunning expression, there was really nothing they could do with her.

Sure enough, as soon as the two people on the opposite side sat down, Lu Qianyu took the lead in opening her mouth.

"It turns out that the prince of Chengping Hou and the second master also know Mr. Chu, but they have never heard Mr. Chu say it!" Lu Qianyu said innocently.

Lu Qingrong couldn't hold back a smile next to her, seeing her pretending to be very familiar with Mr. Chu, remembering that when she was a child, every time she accompanied her eldest brother Lu Chengjie to study, she followed her to her uncle's house, and then plunged into her aunt Gu's house.

On the other hand, Lu Qianyu, with two big eyes flickering, was staring at the two people opposite and waiting for a reply.

Guo was speechless when asked.

She was embarrassed to tell the truth no matter what, no one in their family knew Mr. Chu, they all came uninvited, and not only Song Shiji and Song Shixiang, but even Chengpinghou and his wife came with them, and they were trying to squeeze the table of their peers at this time.

He Qingwan knew that Lu Qianyu did it on purpose, but he could only cheer up and said with a smile: "I only admired Mr. Chu's name for a long time before, and I have never seen it, but our Hou Ye and him are old acquaintances, so he brought us over." ”

He Qingwan talked nonsense, and his face did not change.

She expected that Lu Qianyu would not know so much.

Who knew that Lu Qianyu didn't question it, but put on a look of envy and curiosity, and asked: "It turns out that Chengping Hou and Mr. Chu are old acquaintances!" I wonder how they met? ”

"We all want to know!" He Qingwan glanced at Guo Shi with a smile, and said calmly: "It's a pity that we don't know much about the elders. ”

He Qingwan's prevarication came easily.

Lu Qianyu didn't care, and directly mentioned yì: "Since you are holding a wedding banquet in the restaurant today, you don't care about those false courtesies, let's go and ask Mr. Chu directly in a while, you don't know, his memory is good!" ”

He Qingwan didn't have any words this time, and her face finally showed embarrassment, just like the Guo family next to her.

Lu Qingrong listened to it next to him, but he was a little worried.

If nothing else, she was afraid that Lu Qianyu insisted on marrying Song Shixiang at the beginning, and if He Qingwan knew about it and took it out to ridicule her, the scene would not be very good-looking.

Just as I was thinking about stopping Lu Qianyu and letting her stop in moderation, it happened that it was an auspicious time, and Mr. Chu and they were going to visit the church.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

On the north side of the hall of Shunde Building, there is a platform, two or three zhang wide, which is specially arranged for today, especially for the purpose of worship.

At this moment, the curtains on both sides of the platform slowly fell, and out of the screen behind them came five women in red wedding dresses.

Although the curtain is only a thin veil, it can't be touched after all, and the five women are all showing their backs, and I don't know if Mr. Chu can be sure to guess the truth or falsehood.

Lu Qingrong was quite curious, and after a careful observation for a while, it was obvious that it looked so similar, but she always felt that standing on the westernmost side, the one closest to her side, seemed to have a familiar feeling.

At this time, the eyes of the guests in the room converged, all staring at the backs of these five women.

Lu Qingrong suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gaze on him for a long time.

As if inadvertently, he turned around slightly, only to see the men's seat on the east side of the hall, and the table in the middle of the front row, Jiang Xuan didn't pay any attention to the few women on the stage who were directly in front of him, but looked at his side intently. R1152
