For several days in a row, the good news that Lu Yiduo was serving as a squire in the military department and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy immersed the Lu family in a joyful atmosphere.

Lu Qingrong didn't understand it at first.

She felt that Lu Yiduo was not promoted this time, and if it was only from the perspective of grade, it seemed to be a little lower, but the joy on everyone's face in the family was not fake, I think it was because she didn't know much about the officialdom of the Great Qi Dynasty.

It wasn't until later that I went to the girls' school twice and found that everyone's attitude towards them had changed subtly.

For example, during the lunch break, I will take the initiative to invite them to join the discussion, and after class, someone will walk out of the school with them...... There is also Qiu Jinting, the county lord of Kangning, although he is still very cold to them, he is not as high-minded as before.

Everyone in the women's school is still a child, and there will be such a change, and someone in the family must have told it.

Later, it was Lu Fangyu who told her about the twists and turns, although it was not very comprehensive, but at least Lu Qingrong finally realized that Lu Yiduo was really different this time.

Lu Yiduo soon arrived at the military department to take up his post and began to go to the yamen every day to live a busy life.

And Lu Qingrong is also a little accustomed to the capital, and every two days she and Lu Qianyu go to the women's school in the Yanguo Mansion, and sometimes she stays in the Wisteria Pavilion to read idle books on the days when she doesn't go to class, or plays the guqin that she has never learned well, or she is pulled by Lu Qianyu to "accompany Lu Chengjie to Yin's house to study".

Leisurely and quiet days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, tomorrow is the Duanyang Festival.

The dragon boat banquet held in the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion this time was larger than Lu Qingrong imagined, not only Lu Yiduo, but even Lu Yizhong was invited to the banquet with his family.

On the night before the festival, Yin Pingru began to prepare clothes for several children to wear to the banquet.

Lu Qingrong and the three sisters each have one set.

Lu Chengjie was going to participate in the dragon boat race, and he also prepared a set of short brown for him.

For these sets of clothes, Yin Pingru still struggled with her brains.

After all, Marquis Jingyuan is still sick, so it is necessary to reflect the joy of the festival, but not too flamboyant.

On the afternoon of the next day, Yin Pingru carefully dressed up a few children, and when everyone was about to leave, they saw Lu Yiduo's family of four waiting for them at the second gate of the Lu Mansion.

Today's Lu Manyu's outfit made Lu Qingrong look at her twice.

The dark red plain makeup and flower gowns, and the light red eight-panel skirts, are not bright red colors. The red gold butterfly-shaped beaded flowers on the head are less than one-third of the usual number.

As a result, Lu Manyu and Lu Qingrong were in the same carriage as the three sisters, and they were talking all the way that she was taught a lesson by her father and did not let her wear the red carved silk multicolored cloud pattern armor that she had prepared before......

As soon as the carriage entered Ron Street, the speed suddenly slowed down, and the usually wide street became a little crowded.

It can be seen how many people have been invited to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion today.

The distance that usually can't be used for half a pillar of incense is a full two quarters of an hour to arrive today.

At this moment, the door of the Marquis Jingyuan's mansion was wide open, and there was an endless stream of officials and families who came to the banquet. The housekeeper stood at the door to greet them, and arranged for the guests to sit in a row of green silk cars waiting in front of the second gate and go to Jinghu Lake in the backyard.

Today's Jingyuan Marquis Mansion held a dinner, and the dragon boat race was arranged before the banquet.

Because the space in the green silk car was not spacious, the four Lu Qingrong sisters sat in two cars, one for Lu Qianyu and Lu Manyu, and Lu Qingrong and Lu Fangyu rode together.

Lu Fangyu didn't squint in the car, let alone look out, and Lu Qingrong also sat down according to the rules.

She vaguely remembered that she had come to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion with Yin Pingru once when she was a child, and that time she went to the Qinyi Courtyard where Mrs. Wu lived, and she had the impression that this time took much longer than the last time.

Jinghu, where the dragon boat race is held, is located in the northernmost part of Fuchu.

Unlike the scenic lake dug by most mansions, this one is a pool of living water.

It is connected to the water of the moat and the water of the Taiye Pond in the Royal West Garden.

This is not common in the mansions of the capital.

Although Lu Qingrong had been to the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion once, he didn't know that there was such an excellent place in the mansion.

Getting down from the green silk car, a pool of clear water appeared in front of me. The rippling blue waves and emerald scenery in the lake made Lu Fangyu, who has always maintained the image of a lady, can't help but sigh "so beautiful".

Lu Qianyu and Lu Manyu were already chattering excitedly, provoking Yin Pingru and Geng Shi, who were walking in front, to turn back to them at the same time before stopping.

The lake is roughly rectangular in shape, long from east to west, wide from north to south, and the observation deck is located on the north shore of the lake.

At this time, the observation deck has already been erected, and men and women sit separately.

The ladies of the Lu family were arranged in the second row to the west, and everyone sat around the elm round table.

"Manyu!" As soon as he sat down, a girl's voice shouted from the east.

Lu Manyu and Lu Qingrong turned their heads at the same time and saw that it was Song Miaoxue, who was the most active in women's studies.

It turned out that the table on the east side was made of the ladies of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, and at this time, it was the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion and her daughter Song Miaoxue who were on their side.

Yin Pingru and the second lady met for the first time, and they nodded to each other as a greeting.

"This is Mrs. Lu, when you and Lord Lu got married, I went to the house to congratulate me, but I didn't go into the new house, I didn't expect to see the bride's true face after so many years!"

The second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion covered her mouth and smiled, and the tassels on the peacock and emerald golden hairpin in her hair swayed with her movements, which did not match her slightly bloated face.

Yin Pingru smiled slightly when she heard this, but she thought in her heart why this second lady suddenly mentioned something so far ago.

At this time, the Geng family beside him was not strange at all.

Before Lu Yiduo married Yin Pingru and entered the door, the second lady once came to the door to tell the fifth lady of the Anle Hou family...... It seems that after so many years, the second lady is still haunted by the rejection at the beginning.

In fact, Geng was only half right.

Originally, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion was indeed a little angry because of this matter, but when she saw Yin Pingru's appearance just now, she was already relieved.

At this moment, Yin Pingru is wearing a lotus-colored bamboo pattern placket, a lilac color skirt, a fallen horse bun with her hair, and only a pearl hairpin.

That's still the case now, let alone ten years ago.

The second lady suddenly felt that it was really normal for her to help An Lehou Mansion be rejected.

The adults had their own thoughts, and the children had already chatted.

"Guess what, is it the Red Boat that can win today, or the Blue Boat that can win?" Song Miaoxue asked, pointing to two dragon boats of different colors parked in the lake.

"We don't know who's going to be there yet!" Lu Manyu responded.

"I don't know." Song Miaoxue said honestly, "But I can guess it, it must be the first team of the prince and the second master." ”

The second master Ke in Song Miaoxue's mouth is Mrs. Wu's son Jiang Ke.

"Then it must be the prince of the world to win!" Lu Manyu said without thinking.

Lu Qingrong, who had been silent at this time, also opened his mouth.

"Didn't he think about it behind closed doors, it's not been a month yet, has he?" C
