Chapter 172: Candidates

"You say, do we want to report to Mrs. Wu?"

"Report what?"

"Mrs. Shizi has been looking through the accounts of Jingchun Hall in the past few days, and I always feel a little unsteady in my heart, so I want to say hello to Mrs. Wu......"

In Jingchun Hall, this time it was Aunt Wei who began to worry.

Aunt Chen changed her disapproving look: "This is what Mrs. Wu ordered, some time ago it was delayed because of the happy event of the second master, and now it is natural for Mrs. Shizi to come over again!" ”

"That's not what I meant...... Didn't you notice that when Mrs. Shizi came to look at the accounts earlier, she would often ask us some questions, but these days she doesn't say anything, and only looks at it herself, so I can't help but mutter a little in my heart. "Aunt Wei told the truth.

"What's so strange about this! When I first came, I didn't understand a lot of things, so I often asked, but now that most of them are familiar with it, naturally I don't have so much gossip with us. Aunt Chen persuaded her.

When Aunt Wei heard this, she nodded reluctantly, feeling that what she said was not unreasonable, but she still faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart......

Lu Qingrong's activities these days are very monotonous, that is, running on both sides of Yuyuan and Jingchun Hall.

It's just that it's rare to see Jiang Xuan, who has been extremely busy recently, in Jingchun Hall, there is no Jingyuan Marquis who is lying in bed and recuperating at all.

She basically calmly flipped through the various records of Jingchun Hall in the past years by herself.

Lu Qingrong enjoyed the tranquility very much.

In the past few days, Mother Ye and Luzhu have been reminding her in her ear, making it clear that the maids in Yuyuan really need to make good rules.

Even Cao's mother frowned when she saw those maids, and she stopped talking in front of her several times.

Lu Qingrong remained silent.

Because she knew that the key this time was not on the maids.

It didn't take long for her guesses to be confirmed.

It has been less than half a month since the happy event of the Hou Mansion was completed, and Mrs. Wu was already a little impatient.

On this day, he finally took advantage of Jiang Xuan's absence in the mansion to call Lu Qingrong to Qinyi Courtyard.

"Duchess and I have already agreed that she will come to our Hou Mansion as a guest in three days." Mrs. Wu didn't have any foreshadowing, and said directly: "The Duchess of Yanguo is already noble, and now she is the mother-in-law of the second prince, King Jing, when the time comes, I will leave the banquet to you to prepare, you have to show it well!" ”

Mrs. Wu's eyebrows fluttered.

Lu Qingrong knew it in his heart.

After all, Tang Yue had reminded her long before the wedding...... At this time, if she didn't know what Mrs. Wu wanted, she would be too stupid.

"Is the Duchess of Yan Guo coming alone?" Lu Qingrong asked rhetorically.

"And the second lady of the Yanguo Mansion." Mrs. Wu tried to speak as casually as possible.

Sure enough, it was Tang Shan, Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart, and he was still silent on the surface.

According to the custom of Daqi, the parents are the masters of marriage, but the consent of the wife is required to take a concubine.

Lu Qingrong did not take it lightly, but thought about the various situations that might happen when they visited, but they must not give others an opportunity to take advantage of their carelessness......

At this time, Lu Qingrong didn't seem to notice that he had done a lot of psychological construction on Jiang Xuan's concubine, but now he could no longer tolerate it.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong had responded to this errand, Mrs. Wu couldn't hide her joy, and said a few words of praise with great enthusiasm before letting her go back.

Regarding Tang Shan's matter, Lu Qingrong hesitated for a while, but decided not to sue Jiang Xuan first.

As soon as this matter was her own speculation, Mrs. Wu did not have any clear statement.

Second, she began to resist this topic a little, and she was not as calm as she was at the beginning to ask Jiang Xuan if there was a maid she liked to accept the house......

In the end, she did not say a word in front of Jiang Xuan.

Just the day before the Duchess of Yan Guo and Tang Shan came to the Hou Mansion as guests, Lu Qingrong received an unexpected invitation.

King Jing's Mansion sent someone to say that the princess had invited her to the palace.

Mrs. Wu was once again slightly displeased because of Tang Yue's closeness to Lu Qingrong, but she still maintained a happy smile in front of the people from the palace, and hurriedly ordered someone to send Lu Qingrong away.

Lu Qingrong didn't know what the situation was in the palace, so in order to be safe, he still changed into a light gold multicolored embroidered armor, with a goose yellow Suzhou embroidered eight-piece skirt, his hair was pulled into a delicate fallen horse bun, and he wore a magnolia tassel hairpin with emerald and pearls on the full set of heads. Not only that, but she is used to wearing no makeup on weekdays, and she also wears a light layer of makeup.

When he arrived at the main hall of King Jing's Mansion, Lu Qingrong was saluting the princess when he heard Tang Yue's chuckle.

"It's just that you're here to see me, how can you dress up like you're going to the palace for a banquet!" Tang Yue said with a smile.

If you meet the princess, her dress is quite appropriate, Lu Qingrong pondered in his heart, and finally said honestly: "The people in the palace only said to invite me over, I am afraid that if it is an occasion with many people, it will be too casual and inappropriate." ”

"Then you can rest assured, don't say that there are no others, even the prince has entered the palace today, and he is not in the palace." Tang Yue looked at Lu Qingrong's slightly heavy hair ornament, "Do you want to take it off first?" No one else saw it. ”

"No, I can hold on." Lu Qingrong raised his hand to support his hair bun, and asked casually, "The prince is also busy these days, right?" ”

Tang Yue didn't speak, but was silent for a moment.

Just as Lu Qingrong was wondering if his words were inappropriate, Tang Yue had already asked all the maids in the house to retreat.

"Recently, the number of times the prince has entered the palace is obviously much more frequent than the previous paragraph." Tang Yue sighed, "I also reminded him that now that the prince is still sick, it is better to pay attention...... But today is a little different, it was summoned by the emperor. ”

Even if the relationship with Tang Yue is close, Lu Qingrong feels that he really can't accept this.

Of course, Tang Yue understood Lu Qingrong's difficulties, and he didn't plan to let her say it along.

"Mother and Tang Shan are going to Jingyuan Marquis Mansion tomorrow as guests?" Tang Yue turned to the topic.

"Yes." Lu Qingrong was not surprised, after all, Tang Yue had reminded her a long time ago, but she still asked rhetorically, "How did the princess know?" ”

"My mother came here yesterday." Tang Yue didn't hide it, "She's been in a difficult situation lately. If it was just Aunt Xu's idea, she would still be able to deal with it, but this time her father was also very supportive, and she couldn't change it after choosing it for a long time, so she was really powerless. ”

Lu Qingrong nodded, and the scene in his mind flashed of the Duchess of Yanguo calling Qiu Muyun "Mrs. Sun" in the He Mansion that day.

"I'm so grateful that you've reminded me more than once." Lu Qingrong said from the bottom of his heart, as for the rest, he can only rely on himself.

"Originally, taking a concubine was a common thing, and it shouldn't be such a fuss." Tang Yue couldn't help but explain: "It's just that I always feel that letting Tang Shan marry the prince of Jingyuan Marquis is not suitable in any way...... And for both of them, it's probably not a good thing. ”

This did have an impact on the reputation of the Yanguo Mansion, but why was it not a good thing for the Hou Mansion? Lu Qingrong was slightly puzzled.

Tang Yue almost didn't hesitate, and then said: "Yesterday, my mother mentioned that Mr. Zhen finally couldn't help but find her to complain, saying that Tang Shan's behavior in the women's school in recent days was very inappropriate. It is said that she has been looking for trouble with He Qingwan for the past few days, and once even made her cry......"

Lu Qingrong was slightly surprised.

Although Tang Shan has always been ungregarious and likes to be self-assured, such an arrogant behavior is still very surprising.

And because of her preconceptions about Qiu Muyun and He Qingwan, Lu Qingrong didn't think that Tang Shan was necessarily bullying her.

But after thinking about it, the county lord of Kangning has stopped going to the women's school since he got married, and He Qingwan, who was a little embarrassed in his original position, has no support now.

From this point of view, Tang Shan's actions still had a trade-off in his heart, and he was not completely arbitrary.

"Just rest assured, I will never be bullied and cry by her!" Lu Qingrong changed into a relaxed tone.

Tang Yue was still a little worried about her: "It's just that my mother knows this, and I really don't know how Mrs. Jingyuan planned it......"

Lu Qingrong understood that she was referring to tomorrow, and began to think about how to prevent it.

After that, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention this time again, and after gossiping for a long time, Lu Qingrong said goodbye.

Returning from King Jing's Mansion, there was at least one thing that made her very happy.

Today, whether it is Tang Yue's speech and demeanor, or her somewhat over-the-top complaint to the second prince, it can be felt that their relationship should be very close, and this kind of closeness is particularly difficult in the royal family.

Back in Yuyuan, the first thing Lu Qingrong did was to call Mother Ye and Lu Zhu over.

"Tomorrow's banquet was originally only for you to follow me, but after all, we are the main family, and it would not be good if we didn't greet the guests well." Lu Qingrong then ordered: "I think it's better to bring a few more people, so that the spring rain and summer moon, as well as the autumn and winter snow, will also go over together!" ”

Lu Zhu was slightly stunned, since they came to the Hou Mansion, these four people rarely had the opportunity to walk out of the Yu Courtyard.

Mother Ye was also stunned for a moment.

But the two of them are not confused, as soon as Mrs. Shizi comes back, she will order this matter first without saying a word, there must be her reasons.

The two nodded yes.

Mother Ye asked uneasily: "In addition to the necessary rules, is there anything that needs to be told to them?" ”

When Lu Qingrong heard her ask, he was immediately relieved: "They don't have to worry about the others, just take care of the second lady of the Yanguo Mansion." ”

Mother Ye understood: "Madame, don't worry, I will help you to order, and then there will definitely be no one by the second lady of the Yanguo Mansion." ”

Lu Qingrong nodded with satisfaction, just waiting for tomorrow to come.

But the next day there was something that surprised her.

Jiang Xuan, who has been extremely busy recently, actually rested at home today. R1152
