Gu can only take these things to heart.

After thinking about it, anyway, Lu Yiduo is not at home now, and they are only temporarily living in Lu Mansion, and when they find a house in the capital and move out, they will naturally be safe.

Lu Qingrong looked at Gu's face solemnly for a while, and then relieved, and was wondering, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and Lu Yizhong walked into the flower hall with a woman and two children.

These three people are Lu Yizhong's wife Geng, as well as one of their sons and a daughter, Brother Xi and Sister Man.

The second young master Lu Yongxi and the third young lady Lu Manyu, Yin Pingru and Gu Shi all saw each other for the first time, and hurriedly took out the prepared colorful embroidered gourd purse containing a small silver naked child and gave it to the two.

Geng also took two square purses with red flower and bird patterns and gave them to Yin Zihao and Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong is small and short, and the first thing he sees in his sight is Brother Xi and Sister Man.

Brother Xi'er is about the same age as Yin Zihao, and he is also about three years old, very delicate, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, red lips and white teeth, like a little girl.

On the other hand, Sister Man'er, with thick eyebrows and apricot eyes, although she is only two years old, her eyes are much stronger than Brother Xi'er.

Lu Qingrong saw that this sister Man'er was a head taller than herself, wearing a peach-colored brocade jacket, a pink pleated skirt, her hair was full of red gold pomegranate beads, and she also had a red gold pan ring on her chest, and the whole person was golden.

Seeing her outfit, Lu Qingrong remembered the heavy outfit on the day of her first birthday, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her.

After receiving the purse sent by Geng's, Lu Qingrong looked up at Geng's and saw that she was wearing a rose-red woven gold peony pattern gown, a hibiscus-colored skirt, a fallen horse bun with combed hair, and a dotted emerald inlaid gold hairpin with a tassel.

Geng's age is about the same as Yin Pingru, but he looks a lot plumper, and the pair of Danfeng triangular eyes on his round face are looking Yin Pingru up and down.

Yin Pingru smiled back faintly.

Lu Qingrong felt that Geng's eyes were a little abrupt.

When I saw them salute each other just now, it was not difficult to see that it was not the first time that Geng's family, Yin Pingru and Gu had met, and it was inevitable to lose proportion when staring at Yin Pingru like this.

At this time, a maid came in and asked Mrs. Lu that dinner had been prepared, and whether she would set it up immediately.

Mrs. Lu ordered two tables to be set up in the flower hall.

At the large round table with rosewood carvings in the middle of the flower hall, Mrs. Lu, Lu Yizhong, Yin Qinghua, Gu and Yin Pingru sat down one after another, and Geng helped with the cloth on the side.

There was also a small table next to it, and the maids served Lu Qingrong, Yin Zihao, and Brother Xi and Sister Man eating on the small table.

Yin Zihao and Brother Xi are older, and the two of them are already very skilled in using chopsticks, and they are both holding the dishes in front of them, and some of the dishes are too far away, so they are helped by the maid.

Sister Man'er is completely different, sitting there pointing at this, and then pointing at that, without doing it herself, if the maid's movements are a little slower, she will use her other hand to slap the table.

When Lu Qingrong saw this, he couldn't help but glance at the main table, thinking that this Lu Mansion was really not patriarchal at all......

Unlike the children at the small table, the atmosphere at the main table was very warm.

Lu Yizhong and Yin Qinghua are both new science and technology scholars, and they are talking about the interesting stories they encountered at the royal grace banquet.

"I have lived in the capital for so many years, and this is the first time I have entered the palace to see the emperor! I don't know if I will have such an opportunity in the future. Lu Yizhong is still a little excited when he thinks about it now.

"This is the first time the second master has seen the emperor, and if he becomes an official in the future, there will naturally be more opportunities!" Gu said sincerely.

"Hehe, don't hide it from your sister-in-law, I am a bit backward in this ranking, and the seat is far away from the emperor, but I don't see it very clearly. Brother Yin is the fifth in the second class, much more reliable than me! ”

Everyone laughed when they saw Lu Yizhong talking interestingly.

"I'm only sitting in the third row, and this time the seats aren't all arranged according to the ranking." Yin Qinghua explained.

"That's it!" Lu Yizhong nodded, "That Qiu Yongan, who is more than a dozen people worse than Brother Yin, actually sat in the first row!" ”

Yin Qinghua heard him mention Qiu Yongan, so he didn't answer again, quietly glanced at Yin Pingru, and saw that her expression was still calm, so he put his mind at ease.

"Seeing him sitting next to An Lehou, everyone also knows it, who doesn't know that the Qiu family has recently gotten close to An Lehou!" The more Lu Yizhong spoke, the more addicted he became, "I think this concubine is not a temporary idea of the emperor, but they have already arranged it!" ”

Lu Qingrong didn't expect this Lu Yizhong to be so gossipy.

Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Yizhong's words were getting more and more outrageous, and even the current saint was talking about it, and was about to stop speaking, but the children's table next to her suddenly became noisy.

"That's mine!" Yin Zihao stretched out his little hand and shouted nervously at Sister Man'er.

At this time, Sister Man was holding a jade pendant in her hand, which was the meeting gift that Mrs. Lu had just given to Yin Zihao.

The jade pendant was originally hanging on Yin Zihao's waist, and he was just eating, when he was suddenly grabbed by Sister Man'er, and she refused to return it to him no matter what.

Yin Zihao reached out to reach it, but was pushed hard by Sister Man'er and almost fell off the brocade bench.

Yin Zihao was taught by the Gu family since he was a child that "a gentleman doesn't move his mouth", so he didn't fight back, but just sat there and looked at Sister Man with an aggrieved face.

Sister Man'er was very proud when she saw this.

Geng Shi was in a hurry, and quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the jade pendant in her hand in the past, and returned it to Yin Zihao.

"This is something that my grandmother gave to the Yin family's brother, how can you grab it casually!" Geng's voice was a little stern.

Sister Man'er saw that her mother, who had always loved her, was actually facing outsiders, her mouth was deflated, and she cried.

Geng Shi was suddenly a little at a loss, and he had the heart to coax a few words, but it was difficult to speak.

At this time, Lu Qingrong, who was sitting next to him, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and while reaching out and pulling Sister Man'er's sleeve, he took out the jade bracelet given by Mrs. Lu from his arms.

"This is for my sister! Sister doesn't cry! Lu Qingrong said in a milky voice.

Sister Man took the bracelet in Lu Qingrong's hand, and glanced at Yin Zihao angrily before she stopped crying and burst into laughter.

When the adults at the main table saw this, some were relieved and some were embarrassed.

Geng's face was even more pale, thinking that it was just a matter of being willful on weekdays, but today she was compared like this in front of a doll who was one year younger than herself......

Geng was pondering what to say in order to save face.

A girl in Tsing Yi walked in quickly, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"Madam, the uncle sent someone from Henan to deliver a letter to you!" The maid respectfully handed the envelope to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu couldn't hide her joy, and hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Lu looked very excited and asked, "Is the person who delivered the letter still outside?" ”

The maid point should be.

"Call him in, I've got something to ask."
