On the way from the Hou Mansion to the He Mansion, the carriage that Mrs. Wu was riding in was at the front.

Lu Qingrong rode with Jiang Xuan and followed closely behind.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong had been a little dazed since he sat in the carriage, Jiang Xuan gently held her hand.

"What's wrong?" His voice was as light as his movements, "But what happened in the letter you received yesterday?" ”

Yesterday, he took a letter to Lu Qingrong, which was sent by the Lu Mansion and written to her by Yin Pingru.

Since the last time, Jiang Xuan had already ordered to go down, but whenever there was a letter from Lu Qingrong, he had to say hello to him first, so fortunately, the people below were all sent directly to him.

He would never take it apart, to be exact, he didn't do anything, but he acted as a messenger. But he can't tell the reason, but this can also make him feel a lot more at ease.

Lu Qingrong didn't care too much.

"It's nothing important." Lu Qingrong slowly turned over his palm and held Jiang Xuan back with his palm, "A few days ago, my second sister sent a letter, telling me that today is the day when my third sister entered the palace, so I wrote a letter to my mother, asking if I need to go back. Mother's letter yesterday is about this. ”

"I guess it must be to sue sù that you don't have to go back!" Jiang Xuan said.

"How do you know?"

"You still need to ask, otherwise how could you still go to Hefu today!" Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

"Hmm." Lu Qingrong responded first, "Mother means that the family doesn't plan to be too public, not to mention that the third sister is married in a very special place, the ceremony is set up in the palace, and she is a side concubine, and there is no reason for her mother's family to do a big deal...... And my eldest sister is now raising a baby in Di Mansion, and it is inconvenient to go over, so I don't have to go back. ”

Lu Fu's low-key behavior in this regard was expected by Jiang Xuan: "That's not quite normal, I see that you were a little absent-minded just now, and you thought something was going on at home." ”

Lu Qingrong's expression was slightly embarrassed, obviously a little hesitant.

The moment she lowered her head, she saw the hands of the two of them, she slowly raised her head again, and said: "Later, in my reply to my mother, I didn't mention going out today...... I don't know why, it's just a guest to another house on the scene, but I always feel a little weak-hearted, and I'm worried that my mother will be unhappy if she finds out......"

Although he was a little stumbling, Lu Qingrong still said what was in his heart.

Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Lu Qingrong felt that he was holding his hand harder than before.

"It's just a formality, you don't have to entertain them at all." Jiang Xuan thought for a while, and then continued: "And if you don't want to go now, it's okay for us to go back to the house directly." ”

Jiang Xuan waited seriously for Lu Qingrong's answer, his expression was very solemn, not like he was joking at all.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help laughing.

She's certainly not the kind of person who goes back on her word.

It's just that Jiang Xuan was able to say this just now, which still made her a little moved.

"When you get to the He Mansion in a while, in case someone dislikes you...... Don't be like them. Lu Qingrong was a little worried about Jiang Xuan.

"Don't worry." Jiang Xuan smiled, "I know you wish you had nothing to do with them, and you definitely won't give them a chance to offend me!" ”

Lu Qingrong felt that what he said was both arrogant and funny, but it was right on her mind.

It was not difficult for Jiang Xuan to find that along the way after that, Lu Qingrong's expression was obviously much more normal.

When they arrived at the He Mansion, as soon as they entered the door, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan separated from each other.

Jiang Xuan was directly welcomed into the front yard, while Lu Qingrong followed Mrs. Wu and was invited to the backyard with the female guests.

At the gate of the backyard, Lu Qingrong saw two figures standing in front of the door from a distance, which were He Di's wife Yang and Qiu Muyun.

When I got closer, I saw that Yang was wearing an autumn-colored blue engraved silk armor, a purple eight-panel skirt, her hair was combed into a bun, and she was wearing a decent red gold inlaid blue stone face, which looked particularly dignified and stable compared with Qiu Muyun, who was wearing a hibiscus-colored dress next to her.

Yang's physiognomy has also changed very little, it seems that she is only a little blessed, which is very similar to her appearance more than ten years ago, so Lu Qingrong can recognize her at a glance.

But she obviously didn't think that Lu Qingrong could recognize herself, after all, Lu Qingrong was only a year old at that time.

"The ones who came in front are Mrs. Jingyuan and Mrs. Shizi." Qiu Muyun whispered in Yang's ear.

Yang hurriedly stepped forward to greet politely, and then glanced at Qiu Muyun beside him.

Qiu Muyun hurriedly introduced to Mrs. Wu: "This is my sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Wu nodded, and without too many greetings, she led Lu Qingrong into the courtyard.

When he was at the gate of the He Mansion before, Lu Qingrong noticed that there were a lot of carriages parked outside the door, and some of them were not even under the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.

When I entered the backyard, I found that there were so many guests invited to the He Mansion today, and there were not a few honorable people.

Mrs. Chengping, Mrs. Wuding, and even the Duchess of Yanguo came.

This couldn't help but make Lu Qingrong very surprised.

She still knows the situation in He Mansion, these people obviously have no friendship with He Zhiyuan or He Di and He Kai, and they don't have to think about it to know that it must be Qiu Muyun's side that made a force, and Qiu Yongan or Princess Chengyang came forward to invite them.

Lu Qingrong suddenly felt that this scene was like a nouveau riche doing a happy event, and in order to fill the scene, he found many successful people who couldn't beat him as relatives and friends.

It seems that Qiu Muyun is really working hard this time, and he must have made a great contribution in front of He Zhiyuan and Feng, who pay special attention to face.

At first, Lu Qingrong was still puzzled, thinking that this was not a festival, and no one had a birthday, so it would inevitably seem strange to hold a church meeting. Now that I think about it, this is the only way to invite these people, if it is in the name of congratulating He Zhiyuan on his birthday, I am afraid that these people will really not be able to condescend.

Lu Qingrong casually pondered what he had and didn't have, but his heart was extremely relaxed.

Originally, I thought that Princess Chengyang only invited them, but it was inevitable that it would be abrupt, but now it is like a gathering in the noble family, but it is much more comfortable.

Following the maid who led the way into the hall, Mrs. Wu sat at a table with several princes and wives, and Lu Qingrong sat at the table next to them.

They were all acquaintances at this table.

Kangning County Lord Qiu Jinting and He Qingwan were already sitting there, and when they saw her coming, He Qingwan immediately stood up, while Qiu Jinting sat there motionless, as if he didn't see her.

Lu Qingrong only nodded slightly at He Qingwan.

Just as he was about to sit down, he saw Cui Shiyun on the side.

Lu Qingrong didn't expect to see her here.

"Why are you here too?" Although Lu Qingrong was surprised, he was still happy, and hurriedly pulled Cui Shiyun to sit down.

"Originally, my mother didn't want to bring me here, I had to come with her." Cui Shiyun smiled happily, "Isn't this just seeing you!" ”

Lu Qingrong also laughed along, but he still looked at her curiously, obviously not believing her words.

Cui Shiyun then looked up at Qiu Jinting and He Qingwan sitting at the other end of the round table, and only then opened his mouth on the premise of making sure that they were far enough away.

"At first, when I received the post from Hefu, my mother was reluctant to come." Cui Shiyun lowered her voice, "Later, Princess Chengyang also mentioned this, so she decided to give He Fu this face." She didn't know much about the people of the He family, but I was afraid that she would suffer, so I followed. ”

Cui Shiyun's expression was very serious.

Lu Qingrong chuckled, and then said: "Your mother is from the Marquis Mansion of Wuding, how dare the people of the He Mansion provoke her!" Besides, she doesn't know the people of the He family, so you understand? ”

Listening to Lu Qingrong's rhetorical question with a smile, Cui Shiyun continued to insist: "It's not easy for others to say, then He Qingwan is familiar to us, I don't think she is as docile as she seems, it can be seen that their family must have some problems!" ”

Lu Qingrong was amused by Cui Shiyun's convincing appearance.

Cui Shiyun didn't care, looked left and right, and then asked: "Didn't you say that there were elders of the He family who came to the capital, why didn't you see it?" ”

Lu Qingrong realized that from just now to now, he had not seen Feng Shi show up.

At this moment, Lu Qingrong heard that there were also people at the next table who had this doubt.

"Why don't you see Old Lady He?" It was the Duchess of Yan Guo who asked.

"My mother has been bumpy all the way, her body is sick, and she is recuperating in the past few days, so she came late." Qiu Muyun hurriedly confessed for the Feng family: "I hope that the ladies will not blame." ”

Speaking of which, the Duchess of Yan Guo is not embarrassed anymore.

However, today is always to give face to Princess Chengyang, and it is inconvenient to care too much.

Qiu Muyun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to urge.

In less than a stick of incense, Feng finally came to the hall with the support of a young girl.

Seeing Feng this time, Lu Qingrong realized that Qiu Muyun's remarks just now were not fake.

I saw that Feng was wearing a dark red embroidered moon season flower carved silk gown, a maroon skirt, and a complete set of emerald jade on his head, but his face was extremely listless.

It's not because I'm dressed in red, but I look even more sallow.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Feng Shi seemed to be a different person, his face was wrinkled, and his originally gray hair became almost completely white.

Lu Qingrong secretly thought, if it wasn't in the He Mansion, but somewhere next to it, she would definitely not be able to bear that this was the Feng family.

Look at the young girl next to her, wearing a goose-yellow aquatic grass pattern placket, a skirt of the same color, and two red and silver beaded flowers on the bun, showing a little elegant, and very neat.

Seeing that she didn't look like a maid, Lu Qingrong immediately reacted, this should be He Di and Yang's daughter He Qingning.

Back then, she only heard that she had never seen each other until she moved out of Hefu with Yin Pingru, so it was inevitable to take a few more glances at this time.

Although her first impression was quite good, there were examples of Qiu Muyun in previous years and He Qingwan now, which made her know the truth that people should not be disgraced.

As soon as Feng Shi came in, he first personally confessed to all the guests before sitting at the main table.

And He Qingning came to Lu Qingrong's table.

After He Qingwan introduced the people at the table to her in turn, Lu Qingrong could clearly feel that He Qingning's gaze fell on him almost all the time, but when he looked back, he became a look of wanting to say something. R1152
