The New Year is approaching, and Lu Qingrong has become a lot busier in the past two days.

Mrs. Wu handed over the errand of the New Year's gift to Lu Qingrong, but did not give her the regulations of the previous years.

Without any reference, Lu Qingrong inevitably worked harder, so he had to find the guest list and congratulatory gifts for the banquets held by the Hou Mansion in the past few times as a reference.

On this day, Lu Qingrong was discussing the gift list with Mother Ye, and the good news of Fengyuan came over.

"The Imperial Physician has already determined that it is Ximai, the Imperial Physician Zou who came last time." Lu Zhu came in and said, "Mrs. Wu is already in Fengyuan at the moment, do you think we should go over too?" ”

"Naturally, I'm going to go over and have a look." Lu Qingrong temporarily put down the matter of the gift list and told Sù Ye's mother to discuss it later.

When I arrived at Fengyuan, I walked through the front hall all the way to the inner room, only to see Qiu Jinting leaning on the Zimu stepping bed, and Mrs. Wu sitting on the brocade bench next to me.

And Jiang Ke was never seen from beginning to end.

I had heard before that Jiang Ke was very concerned about reading, and he was particularly diligent and serious among the noble children in the capital, but at this time, Lu Qingrong was a little more convinced.

What is rare is that Qiu Jinting, who has always been pampered, does not seem to be unhappy because of this, but looks comfortable.

As soon as Lu Qingrong came in, he asked her body with concern before saying a few words of congratulations.

Although she had guessed that she had something happy before, but now that she and Jiang Ke have become married, it is always worth congratulating on the diagnosis of the happy pulse at this time.

Qiu Jinting himself obviously thought so, and there was an undisguised look of pride in his eyes when he looked back at Lu Qingrong at this moment.

And Mrs. Wu, who was sitting on the side, had already come over when Imperial Doctor Zou hadn't left, and when she saw Lu Qingrong coming, she said some words of praise to Qiu Jinting in front of her before getting up and leaving. Before leaving, I didn't forget to leave another sentence, "If you need anything, find your sister-in-law".

Seeing that Qiu Jinting was about to open his mouth, Lu Qingrong took the lead and said: "Now that you have a body, you have to be more careful in everything." Although I have no experience, I have heard that these first months are the most important. If there is anything I need, I can help with it, but if I want to go out or meet a visitor, I am afraid that I will have to ask my wife. ”

As Lu Qingrong expected, Qiu Jinting was indeed still thinking about inviting He Qingwan.

Although she was directly blocked back by Lu Qingrong, she was not annoyed. I think that even if I ask Mrs. Wu, I will definitely sell my face for the sake of being pregnant.

But he didn't want to, when he sent Lu Qingrong away and sent the maid to Qinyi Courtyard to ask for advice on the matter, he actually got a similar reply to Lu Qingrong. Mrs. Wu also asked her: "It's important to have a good birth and health first, and the matter of meeting guests will be talked about after a while......

This really made Qiu Jinting very angry, but he didn't plan to stop there, but pinned his hopes on Jiang Ke.

In fact, when the maid went to Qinyi Courtyard to ask for instructions, Jiang Ke was at Mrs. Wu's.

Hearing Mrs. Wu's refusal neatly, Jiang Ke asked a little strangely, "Since you are cousins with her, it's okay to come and stay for a few days, right?" ”

"If it's normal, it's just fine, now it's just in time for us and the Yanguo Mansion to have this matter, it's better to let her have less contact with people outside during this time." Mrs. Wu was very cautious.

"What do you mean......" Jiang Ke looked a little excited when he heard this, and he was afraid that he had misunderstood.

"The Yanguo Mansion has asked to be a flat wife, and I have agreed." Mrs. Wu continued.

The joy on Jiang Ke's face could no longer be hidden, and finally showed a smile.

"Don't be happy just yet." Mrs. Wu was a little helpless, "Although I agreed, if I really want to do this, I still need to pass the Chengyang Princess Mansion." ”

According to the rules of the Great Qi Dynasty, unless the emperor or the queen mother gave the marriage, the marriage must be approved by the wife's family before they can get married.

With Tang Shan's identity as a concubine, there must be no need to think about marriage, so there is only one way left to get permission from the princess's mansion.

Seeing that Jiang Ke was still smiling happily at the moment, Mrs. Wu could only say truthfully: "As for how to get the princess's mansion to agree to this matter, I am not sure at all, so let's not make any rumors during this time." I also said hello to the Yanguo Mansion. ”

Jiang Ke didn't seem to be worried about this at all, and asked, "Mother doesn't mean that she hasn't figured out how to tell the princess mansion about this?" ”

Mrs. Wu nodded: "Just now, I was thinking about whether to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the princess's mansion to report the good news this time, and I was worried that if it didn't work, I am afraid it would be even more difficult to do it in the future......"

Mrs. Wu spoke her thoughts unreservedly in front of Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke just smiled indifferently, as if he didn't have this kind of worry at all, and said confidently: "If my mother is only worried about the problems of the princess's mansion, then it will be easy to do." ”

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wu didn't know why.

"Over there in the Princess's Mansion, just let Jinting go and say it." Jiang Ke said it as a matter of course.

"This ......," Mrs. Wu was obviously a little confused, "can she be willing?" ”

Qiu Jinting's temper, Mrs. Wu still has some understanding, she definitely doesn't look like someone who will agree to this.

"Don't worry, she's willing." Jiang Ke's tone was very certain.

Mrs. Wu bowed her head suspiciously: "Then let her go and talk about it first!" If it doesn't work, we'll just find a way. ”

Jiang Ke confidently followed the www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion.

At the same time, Lu Qingrong returned to the Yuyuan and continued to ponder about the New Year's ceremony.

"Madam, do you want to let Cao's mother come over and have a look." Mother Ye suddenly said: "After all, she is an old man in the house, maybe she can help us come up with some ideas." ”

Lu Qingrong was somewhat surprised by Mother Ye's mention: "What do you mean ......?"

"The slave just thinks that Mother Cao should help us with this." Mother Ye said a little vaguely.

Lu Qingrong understood what she meant. After all, she and Cao's mother have been in charge of the elm courtyard together for several months, and there must be some basis for saying so now.

Lu Qingrong didn't ask any more questions, and directly sent someone to invite Cao's mother over.

Cao's mother was also a little surprised when she heard that she was asking her to help with the New Year's ceremony, but she quickly said: "Since it is Madame's order, the slave maid should do her best." It's just that although the slave maid has done similar errands before, it was more than ten years ago when Mrs. Jiang was still there, so I was afraid that there would be any difference from the current situation......"

"It's okay." Lu Qingrong said with a smile: "It can't be worse than a newcomer like us!" This is the first Spring Festival I caught up with in the Hou Mansion, and I don't have the statutes of previous years in my hand. ”

Seeing that Lu Qingrong said so truthfully, Cao's mother no longer shirked: "Is there a written gift list?" ”

Lu Qingrong motioned to Mother Ye to show the few copies she had written before to Mother Cao, and instructed someone to bring pen and ink: "Only these few have been written, if there is anything that needs to be added or subtracted, just mark it directly, and then transcribe it again." ”

These families are all relatively close to the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion, including the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion and the Yanguo Mansion who live together on Rong'en Street, as well as several other noble families.

Cao's mother took the gift list and looked at it carefully for a long time before making a lot of marks based on previous experience.

Lu Qingrong looked at the marked gift list and found that although each piece of paper had increased or decreased, it had not changed much overall.

Only the one given to Anlehou's Wu family was marked by Cao's mother.

Mother Cao also noticed Lu Qingrong's somewhat puzzled look, and took the initiative to explain: "There may be something else that I can't remember completely, but the Anlehou Mansion must be right, when Mrs. Jiang was in charge of the house, we and the Anlehou Mansion rarely walked around." ”

Finding Lu Qingrong's pensive expression, Cao's mother then added: "Of course, the slave also knows that this is definitely not the case now......

"Or do you want to follow our original preparations?" Mother Ye also said.

"No!" Lu Qingrong suddenly objected, "Regardless of anything else, the New Year's ceremony of the Anle Hou Mansion will still be handled in accordance with the regulations of Mrs. Jiang when she was alive!" ”

Mother Cao and Mother Ye were stunned when they heard this.

Mother Ye couldn't help but remind: "Even if this is the case on your side, if Mrs. Wu sees it, I'm afraid she will still add it back......

"That's her business. Since the ** is allowed to do this now, it should be so. Lu Qingrong was very persistent.

Seeing this, Cao's mother suddenly felt a little excited in her heart, but she tried her best to suppress it and didn't come out.

For the whole day after that, the three masters and servants were busy with the gift lists for each prefecture until Jiang Xuan came back in the evening.

As in these days, when Jiang Xuan came back, Lu Qingrong had already eaten dinner.

"Have you ever eaten?" Lu Qingrong asked as usual.

"I used it." Jiang Xuan said as he went behind the screen and changed into a stone blue homely robe under the service of the maid.

After changing his clothes, Jiang Xuan first asked all the maids in the house to retreat, and then said to Lu Qingrong: "There is news in the East Palace today, and your third sister has diagnosed a happy pulse. ”

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong was a little surprised, she really didn't expect that Lu Manyu had just been in the palace for two months, and the good news came out so quickly, and she felt both happy and worried at this time: "Is the news accurate?" I also received a letter from my mother today that did not mention it. ”

"Absolutely." Jiang Xuan was quite sure, "It's just that the time is still short, and as usual, when you encounter this kind of thing in the palace, you usually have to wait until three months later before you will announce it to the world and accept congratulations." Even if it's your family, I'm afraid it will take a few days to get the news. ”

Lu Qingrong didn't ask how he found out, but just sighed: "Is it really so strict? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xuan nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only had one heir for the eldest grandson of the emperor for many years, and the emperor has been extremely worried about this. Now that the East Palace has finally come out with good news again, the emperor is very happy, and the people below dare not be ambiguous. ”

"Then when will we have the opportunity to go and see the third sister?" Lu Qingrong always felt that with her personality, the more this kind of honor and favor was added, the more worrying it was.

"I'm afraid it won't be a year ago." Jiang Xuan thought for a while, "But we don't have to wait too long, we will enter the palace to congratulate during the New Year, and we will definitely be able to meet each other at that time." ”

It can only be like this, Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart.

"I almost forgot to tell you, there is also a happy event in our house today, and the happy pulse has just been diagnosed in Fengyuan." Lu Qingrong said with a smile.

Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned, and quickly came to his senses, but he was not surprised at all. After all, he and Lu Qingrong had already guessed one or two before, but they didn't expect them to be made public so quickly.

And the reason why Qiu Jinting was so impatient at the risk of being suspicious naturally had her calculations in her heart. R1152
