CHAPTER XVI

"Don't worry about this, the Lu family and us are good friends. Your eldest brother also mentioned in the letter that Mrs. Lu treats him like her own son! Gu explained to Yin Pingru.

"Hmm...... Thinking that the eldest brother can go to high school this time is not unrelated to the thoughtful care of the Lu family. Yin Pingru felt that it was rare for her eldest brother to be able to enter high school for the first time in the Beijing examination.

"Exactly, when we see Mrs. Lu in the future, we must thank you well." Gu Shi paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have to say hello to Old Madam Lu then!" Mrs. Lu has a total of two sons, the uncle of the Lu family was the governor of Henan at the time of the right of the Imperial Inspectorate, and he was rated as an 'excellent' in this year's official Jingcha, and the promotion is just around the corner; ”

"That's a double happiness, Mrs. Lu is really a blessed person!" Yin Pingru said with emotion.

Lu Qingrong had been "cleaning up" those toys with Yin Zihao beside him, and when he heard Gu and Yin Pingru mention the "Lu family", he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Also surnamed Lu...... Could it have something to do with you?

Lu Qingrong knew that his idea was very far-fetched, there were many people with the surname Lu in the world, could they all have something to do with him?

But she still involuntarily leaned over to Yin Pingru and the others, stretched out her ears and listened.

Gu and Yin Pingru had already finished the topic just now and began to discuss Lu Qingrong's first birthday banquet.

They had already reached a consensus on Lu Qingrong's first birthday banquet, and only a few people in the family celebrated together, and no guests were invited.

After all, Yin Pingru's current situation is somewhat special, and the matter of reconciliation with the He family is almost known to everyone in Jinan City.

Gu felt that instead of inviting guests and doing a big job, it would be better for a few people in the family to be lively together, and Yin Pingru could be more comfortable.

Yin Pingru also felt that this arrangement was very good, but she was always a little ashamed in her heart, feeling that because of her own harmony, Lu Qingrong could not have a more grand first birthday banquet......

As everyone knows, Lu Qingrong is already very satisfied.

Seeing that Yin Pingru and Gu Shi were helping themselves make new clothes and new jewelry, and they were also painstakingly preparing to grab what Zhou needed, Lu Qingrong was very moved in his heart.

In the previous life, only one of himself and his father spent his birthday every year, and although the atmosphere was also very warm, it was inevitable that he always felt a little lonely.

Now that he has his mother, aunt, and cousin who is a little stupid, Lu Qingrong thinks that he will have a very lively day on his first birthday.

Lu Qingrong was full of expectations for his first birthday banquet, but he couldn't help but miss his father in his previous life......

On the day of Lu Qingrong's first birthday, she was dragged out of the bed by Yin Pingru early in the morning.

Yin Pingru changed her into a red Ruyi pattern engraved silk jacket, with a pleated skirt of the same color, her hair was combed in a double screw bun, a butterfly drooping tassel bead flower was inserted on each side, and she also wore a red gold Yingluo collar around her neck.

Lu Qingrong stood in front of the bronze mirror in the room, and felt that the little girl in the mirror was like the virgin holding the big carp in the New Year painting......

Yin Pingru still felt that it was not enough, and wore a pair of red gold bracelets with a small longevity lock on her hand before giving up.

Yin Zihao stood next to Lu Qingrong and looked at her outfit with curious eyes.

When Yin Pingru asked him, "Do you see your cousin looking good today", he hurriedly clapped his little hands and shouted: "It looks good!" Pretty! ”

Last time, he said that Lu Qingrong was "ugly" and was reprimanded by his mother, and now he has a long memory. What's more, he thinks that today's Lu Qingrong is indeed very good-looking, like the person in the painting.

Lu Qingrong wore this outfit and staggered through the whole day.

In the evening, the first birthday party officially began.

The rosewood round table in the main hall is full of all kinds of dishes, which Gu specially ordered from the most famous Chunxi Building in Jinan City.

Lu Qingrong looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table and swallowed his saliva, but unfortunately he had just turned one year old, and he could only watch more and eat less.

As soon as everyone sat down, a maid came in and said, "Mrs., aunt, there is a Mrs. Jiang outside, saying that she is celebrating the birthday of Miss Cousin!" ”

Mrs. Jiang? Gu didn't know that there was such a person at all, and looked at Yin Pingru with inquiring eyes.

Yin Pingru was also very surprised, although she quickly remembered that it might be the Mrs. Jiang she met in Qingtan Temple two days ago, but she didn't expect that she would actually come to the door, not to mention that Lu Qingrong's first birthday banquet today did not invite anyone.

"When I went to Qingtan Temple a few days ago, I met a Mrs. Jiang......" Yin Pingru briefly told Gu what happened that day.

Gu Shi then instructed the maid: "Hurry up and invite that Mrs. Jiang in!" ”

Lu Qingrong looked up at the door.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was wearing a moon-white cherry blossom pattern collared gown, a shallow lake green horse face skirt, her hair was still combed in a Lingyun bun, and only a green hosta was inserted, which was much cleaner than the last time she was in Qingtan Temple.

Madame Jiang walked into the hall with a smile on her face, Jiang Xuan and a maid holding a gift box followed closely beside her.

"It turns out that it's really Mrs. Jiang! How did you know we live here? Yin Pingru was a little puzzled.

"It's not hard to ask!" Mrs. Jiang said vaguely, "We left for Beijing early this morning, and we originally wanted to send someone to send a thank you gift, but when we heard that there was a birthday banquet in the house today, we came uninvited!" Don't be surprised by the lady of the Yin family! ”

"Mrs. Jiang is too polite, please take a seat." Yin Pingru couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Mrs. Jiang was really well-informed.

And what Mrs. Jiang said is actually not complete.

Finding out where Yin Pingru lives is indeed easy for her.

Originally, she just planned to send someone over and send a thank you gift for the matter of Qingtan Temple.

But the guard who was in charge of finding out the news checked Yin Pingru's background clearly, and reported all kinds of entanglements between her and He Kai and Qiu Muyun to Mrs. Jiang.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but feel very sympathetic to Yin Pingru's experience, and admired her resoluteness and departure.

This kind of emotion is not without reason, because they have a flat wife in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion......

Mrs. Jiang immediately decided to go to the door in person, which could be regarded as helping Yin Pingru to save face at the first birthday banquet.

At this time, Mrs. Jiang saw that there was only a woman with a child at the table, and turned to Yin Pingru and asked, "Did I come too early?" ”

"Not really...... We were just a family dinner, and we didn't invite guests. Today, Mrs. Jiang is our only honored guest! Yin Pingru introduced Mrs. Jiang, "This is my sister-in-law and my nephew." ”

Mrs. Jiang and Gu greeted each other, and everyone sat down at the table.

The table was full of women and children, and the meal was very lively, and there was already a lot to say just about the children's interesting stories.

Yin Zihao and Lu Qingrong lowered their heads and ate violently, quickly finished eating, and ran away to play.

Yin Pingru and Gu Shi saw that the two children only knew how to play, and then looked at Jiang Xuan, who was also not a few years older than them, although he had already finished eating, he was still sitting there quietly, and they couldn't help but feel a little rude.

Mrs. Jiang didn't care much, thinking that the child was still young, so it would be better not to be too demanding, and asked Jiang Xuan to go over to play with them.

Jiang Xuan walked over to take a look and found that Yin Zihao and Lu Qingrong were holding a scattered Kong Ming lock, fighting back and forth.

What he didn't know was that Yin Zihao and Lu Qingrong had been tinkering with this since before eating, but they couldn't fight it back.

Jiang Xuan took the Kong Ming lock from Yin Zihao's hand, fiddled with it a few times, and instantly put it together.

Yin Zihao looked at Jiang Xuan with admiration.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan opened it again and told Yin Zihao about it while pretending......

Lu Qingrong looked at Jiang Xuan's extremely serious appearance, and suddenly found that this was the first time she had heard him speak.
