Chapter 126: Family Banquet
At ten o'clock for dinner, Lu Bingyan asked Steward Zhao to invite everyone to the dining hall to eat together.
Lu Guanlan wanted to refuse, but he heard Steward Zhao say: "The eldest lady must go, the master said, this is a special family banquet for the eldest lady." ”
Lu Guanlan smiled suddenly, "The family banquet prepared for me? ”
Steward Zhao nodded.
"Why?" Lu Guanlan looked at Steward Zhao with a look of embarrassment, and knew that Lu Bingyan must have told him to call her away.
Steward Zhao said: "The old man feels that the family has not eaten together for a long time, thinking that the eldest lady has just come back from the palace today, so they will have a meal together, and they are also good at talking." ”
Homely?
Lu Guanlan couldn't help but be a little sarcastic.
When can't you talk about homely things, she went to the palace and came back, so she had to talk about homely things?
Since she wanted to ask her what she said to the queen in the palace, why didn't she call her alone, and she had to let Song Yuemei's mother and daughter disgust her in front of her.
Otherwise, it was this so-called family banquet that Song Yuemei asked Lu Bingyan to organize.
If this is the case, then Song Yuemei's heart will be obvious.
It's nothing more than wanting to inquire about her in the palace today.
But Song Yuemei still has something to do with Concubine Yun in front of her, if you want to know about the things in the palace, can Concubine Yun still be different from her?
Steward Zhao saw that Lu Guanlan was thoughtful, so he opened his mouth to remind, "Miss, why don't you go, it's rare for the master to prepare a family banquet for you, and several young ladies and aunts have gone." ”
Lu Guanlan is not afraid of such a scene, but he is a little annoying.
Steward Zhao is still his own person now, if he goes back and is embarrassed by Lu Bingyan, it will not be so convenient to find him to do things after he comes and goes.
Then he said: "Steward Zhao, go back, I'll come later." ”
Steward Zhao smiled and hurriedly retreated.
"Miss, I'm afraid I don't want to ask you about meeting the queen today," as soon as Steward Zhao left, Ah Li came over and said.
Lu Guanlan smiled and nodded, "No one in this house is a fool, who can't guess it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat well for dinner today." ”
Ah Li smiled and said, "Miss is not afraid, the slave maid asked Xiao Ju to prepare a supper for you in the small kitchen first, and eat it when you come back later." ”
Lu Guanlan got up from the couch chair with a smile, turned around and went back to the house to change clothes.
On the way to the dining hall, I happened to run into Zhou Susu.
Now Zhou Susu glanced at her daughter Lu Lianqing, and she no longer made waves, but stayed quietly in her yard every day, and rarely went out of the yard.
Lu Bingyan has been busy with the king ceremony recently, and he rarely comes to the backyard, even if he has some spare time, he also goes to Song Yuemei's yard.
Counting it, there has been no one in Zhou Susu's courtyard for a while.
Seeing Lu Guanlan, Zhou Susu just smiled and saluted, "Miss." ”
Lu Guanlan also returned the salute, looked at Zhou Susu behind her, and didn't see her two daughters, so she asked, "Did the third sister and the fourth sister go to the dining hall early?" Why don't you see the two of them with the third aunt? ”
Zhou Susu said with a smile: "These two girls are chatting in the courtyard of the second miss, presumably this son should go with the second miss." ”
Lu Guanlan was silent, turned around and walked towards the corridor of the dining hall.
Zhou Susu saw that Lu Guanlan didn't speak, so he chased forward and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, those two girls won't be using guns for people." ”
Lu Guanlan smiled, "Why did the third aunt say this, the three sisters are friendly, that is the best thing in the family." ”
Zhou Susu saw that Lu Guanlan didn't believe anything, so he didn't say anything more.
The two arrived at the dining hall one after another, and saw that Song Yuemei and Lu Jingzhu had arrived, but they didn't see Lu Lianhua and Lu Lianqing.
Zhou Susu was stunned when he saw this, and asked Lu Jingzhu, "Second Miss, weren't the two children of Lianhua Lianqing with you before?" Why hasn't it come yet? ”
Lu Jingzhu smiled slightly, and said: "Today, my brother came back from listening to the master's lecture, and the waiter came back first to report, saying that the master had brought a lot of books and classics to his brother, and both of them couldn't move, I said to let some little guys pick them up, but the third sister and the fourth sister said that they hadn't seen their brother for a long time, and they missed it a little, so they let the two of them go, and they would come with their brother later." ”
Zhou Susu's face instantly became a little unsightly when he heard this.
What do you miss your brother, these two girls have never been close to Lu Huasheng, how could they think of picking up Lu Huasheng.
It must have been Lu Jingzhu who asked the two of them to go, but these two girls were also obedient and weak, so they had to be at the mercy of Lu Jingzhu's girl.
Zhou Susu couldn't say anything, so he had to sit down next to Lu Guanlan.
Lu Guanlan didn't look at these people from beginning to end, but Ah Li on the same side talked about whether to eat snacks or drink chicken soup for supper.
At this time, I heard Song Yuemei suddenly say: "Miss, I went to the palace early this morning, and I didn't rest well when I came back, I guess I was tired at this time, right?" ”
Lu Guanlan raised his eyes to look at Song Yuemei, his eyes were full of smiles, "Why did Aunt Song say this?" ”
Song Yuemei's usual smiling tiger style said with a smile: "I heard your second sister say that when you came back from the palace, she took her two younger sisters to your courtyard to see you, thinking of bringing you some snacks." But you seemed to be a little tired, so you didn't dare to bother more, but only stayed for a while and left. ”
Lu Guanlan smiled, "It's true, but it's not that I'm tired, or I haven't slept enough." ”
Song Yuemei said: "Miss, you, this is the character, if you suffer any grievances, don't carry it alone, they are all a family, and you can talk about it with your father." Although our Lu family is not a meritorious and wealthy family, your father is also an official of the imperial court, if you have not made any mistakes, you have been punished and wronged, and your father will dare to go up and reason. ”
Lu Guanlan chuckled, "What? Where did Aunt Song hear something? Or do you just want me to be punished? I just went to have tea and chat with the queen's mother, how could I be told by Aunt Song, but it became me to go to the palace to receive punishment? ”
Song Yuemei was busy with a look of "you misunderstood me", waved her hand and said: "Why did the eldest lady say this, my aunt naturally hopes that the eldest lady will be good, but she is afraid that the eldest lady will be wronged, the eldest lady doesn't like me, I also know, but how can I treat people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
Kind?
Lu Guanlan sneered.
If she hadn't been accustomed to Song Yuemei's style, she would have gotten up and slapped her a long time ago.
A woman is so miserable, if a woman can easily get out of this cage, I am afraid that her mother would not have been committed to this at the beginning, suffering from Song Yuemei's anger, and being disgusted by such a person every day.
Zhou Susu saw that Lu Guanlan's face was wrong, and he was busy making peace and said: "Okay, the master is coming soon, if the eldest lady really has any grievances, tell the master, if Aunt Song cares, she will go to Taoyuan to see the eldest lady another day." ”
Song Yuemei turned her head to look at Zhou Susu, and the viciousness in her eyes was almost overflowing.
But he didn't speak again.
At this time, I saw Lu Huasheng coming, and he really followed the two sisters, Lu Lianhua and Lu Lianqing.
However, he did not have any books in his hands.
Seeing Lu Huasheng come back, Song Yuemei's face was naturally happy.
Hurriedly got up to pull Lu Watson, took out a handkerchief to wipe his son's sweat, "You kid, we are sweaty." ”
I saw that Lu Huasheng was silent, just sat down, and his chest was still rising and falling violently.
Seeing this, Song Yuemei asked again: "You kid, you look like you're angry, who upset you again?" ”
Lu Guanlan didn't care much about Song Yuemei's family, but he also noticed Lu Huasheng's sullen appearance.
It stands to reason that with Lu Huasheng's temperament, few people will make him angry.
If Lu Qiming is okay to say, it is nothing more than being angry with someone in a restaurant and drinking restaurant, and he will lose his temper when he comes back.
But Lu Huasheng has always been kind to others, and he never likes to cause trouble, how could he have such a big temperament?
Zhou Susu saw that this was wrong, and also got up and pulled her two daughters to question.
But Lu Lianhua and Lu Lianqing didn't speak, but just sat down on the side.
A light flashed in Song Yuemei's eyes, and she didn't speak again, but just asked the girl to pour tea for Lu Huasheng.
Not long after, Lu Bingyan came.
Seeing the silence in the dining hall, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Turning his head again, he caught a glimpse of Lu Huasheng's dull face, so he sat down and asked, "But you have been trained by your father and son?" ”
Lu Huasheng was silent, just buried himself in tea.
Song Yuemei hurriedly said on the side: "Master, don't blame this kid, I just saw him come back, and he didn't say a word, and the concubine looked at it, as if she was angry with someone." ”
Lu Bingyan frowned, "Gas? ”
He understands his second son, he has always been a nerd who only knows how to read and learn words, how can he be angry with others with such a temperament.
Then he asked, "Tell me what is going on?" ”
Lu Huasheng was still silent, but his eyes suddenly turned red.
Seeing this, Lu Bingyan waved his hand and asked Steward Zhao to order the food to be served later.
looked at Lu Huasheng and asked again: "What else is there to say to my father?" You are in charge of yourself, if any student in your school offends us by not knowing the etiquette, your father and I are also the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, and I will definitely come forward to reason with them. ”
Lu Bingyan just thought that there were not a few children from powerful families in this school.
Now that the situation in the court is changing, their Lu family has not yet stood on any side, if they are provoked by which side they have already stood, it will be nothing, and then they will talk to that person.
Lu Huasheng still didn't speak, just put down the teacup and clenched his fists and stared at the dining table.
At this time, I heard Lu Jingzhu say: "Aren't the third sister and the fourth sister also with the second brother?" The second brother is like this when he comes back from the school? ”
Lu Lianqing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Lianhua on the side.
Lu Jingzhu saw the look on Lu Lianhua's face, and couldn't help but smile, but his brows frowned slightly, looking quite worried, "Oh, what can't you say, there is a father here!" ”
Song Yuemei also echoed on the side: "Yes, you two girls, why don't your brother dare to come back and talk to the family when he is angry." ”
Lu Bingyan looked at things and seemed to be a little wrong, as if it wasn't what he thought.
He immediately lowered his face, "Say! ”
