Chapter 69: The Wedding Banquet

After a night, the direction of the Lu family's wind seemed to change.

The eldest young master went out to travel again, Aunt Song was closed, and the second lady read and embroidered every day.

Only Lu Guanlan still cooks tea and paints all day long.

When the people on the side looked at it, they felt that in the whole house, only Taoyuan was comfortable.

Seeing that the mansion had stopped for a few days, Lu Bingyan pondered going to Wang Shangshu's mansion to propose marriage.

Wang Shangshu and Lu Bingyan already had a close friendship in the court, and knew that Lu Bingyan intended to marry his eldest daughter Xuxian, thinking that the eldest lady in the family often quarreled with her because of this, and now if he marries the eldest daughter, it will be a big deal in his heart.

Mrs. Wang was reluctant, so she sent someone to inquire about the situation in the inner courtyard of the Lu family.

Listening to Hui Bing's people, there is a very powerful Aunt Song in the Lu family, and Rao is the eldest lady of the Lu family when she is alive, and she can't suppress this aunt by half a point.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was satisfied and said that she agreed.

Two days after the dowry was sent, the Wang family was going to hold a wedding banquet with the Lu family.

Lu Bingyan was naturally happy, and he just hoped that the family affairs would be settled earlier, and as soon as the eldest lady's mourning period passed, the marriage would be completed.

When the news reached Taoyuan, Lu Guanlan was watering the flowers with Ah Li.

Xiao Ju told Lu Guanlan the news she had heard.

Lu Guanlan only smiled and said, "Now the whole house has learned the news?" โ€

Xiao Ju nodded, "The slave maid heard it from the girls in other courtyards, but the slave maid looked at it, and Ping'er didn't seem to be very happy." โ€

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Ah Li smiled and stuffed the watering pot in her hand to Xiaoju: "You girl, you know how to go out and gossip all day long, why don't you come to help me do something?" โ€

Xiao Ju grinned and hugged the watering can, "Yes, yes, I listen to Sister Ali." โ€

Lu Guanlan looked at the two of them from the side, and a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth.

Song Yuemei was hit hard this time, and if she wanted to do it again, she would definitely plan carefully.

And Lu Jingzhu ยทยทยทยทยทยท She thought of the way Lu Jingzhu looked at her that day.

After this incident, Lu Jingzhu is afraid that he will have to learn how long he has to be.

Lu Bingyan's wedding banquet with the eldest lady of the Wang family was scheduled for two days later.

In the past two days, Lu Bingyan personally supervised and asked the maid to renovate the house, so that when Miss Wang came, she felt festive.

When Lu Guanlan went to the garden to feed the fish, he saw the maid holding a red lantern in her hand, and she couldn't help but smile.

It's quite festive, and this battle is like the New Year.

Ah Li saw Lu Guanlan smiling, and also smiled: "I want to thank this Miss Wang." Thinking that the young lady had not been comfortable for many days, she just glanced at the red lantern and smiled from the bottom of her heart. The slave maid felt a little tasty, thinking that she was happy with the usual method of amusing the young lady, but it was not as good as this lantern. โ€

Seeing Ah Li's pretended to be disgusted, Lu Guanlan shook his head helplessly, raised his sleeves and raised the fan in his hand, and patted Ah Li's forehead gently, "You, you didn't let Xiao Ju learn how to do things, but you learned Xiao Ju's set very well." โ€

As he was talking, Lu Guanlan felt a figure flash behind the rockery not far away.

But she didn't look closely, just stood up and patted the fish food scum that fell on her robe.

Chong Ali said: "Let's go, go back." โ€

In the Nixuan Pavilion, Song Yuemei's complexion was much better, but her body was still a little weak.

Leaning back on the recliner, waiting for Haruka to come back and report it.

Before he could wait long, he saw Haruka hurrying back from outside the courtyard.

Running to Song Yuemei, Chunxiang knelt down and reported: "The master has almost arranged the house, the third aunt is still sick in bed now, and the eldest lady is still as comfortable as before." โ€

Comfortable? Although Song Yuemei had tried her best to restrain her anger, she still couldn't help but smash the cup when she heard this.

Seeing this, Chunxiang hurriedly stopped Song Yuemei, "Auntie, the doctor has told me, don't be angry." โ€

Song Yuemei stretched out her hand to cover her heart, her teeth itching with hatred.

Gritted his teeth and said, "You continue to stare at the movement in the front yard and see when Wang Qin'er will come to the house." โ€

Haruka nodded, took the order and retreated.

At this time, Lu Jingzhu walked out of the back room.

Lu Jingzhu, who was only delicate in the past, is wearing a frost-colored skirt today, and his expression is no longer crying and crying, but his face is demure, and he has become extremely elegant and moving.

"A-Niang, you said, Lu Guanlan can still be so lucky this time, can you still expect what we want to do?" Lu Jingzhu's face was calm, completely devoid of his previous caution.

Song Yuemei stared at the flowers in full bloom in the courtyard, but her eyes were satisfied and ruthless, "Then let's see, this time Lu Guanlan can be unpredictable." โ€

Two days later, the Wang family came to the door.

Because it was a family banquet, the Wang family only came to Wang Shangshu and Mrs. Wang.

On such an occasion, it is not easy for Song Yuemei and Zhou Susu to show up, and several young ladies in the family also stay in the courtyard to avoid causing any trouble.

Lu Guanlan just put down his pen, and when he saw Ah Li coming back, he smiled slightly, "The person has arrived?" โ€

Ah Li nodded, and then whispered in her ear: "As soon as the slave maid left on the front foot, Aunt Song's people came on the back foot, but fortunately, the slave and maid ran fast, and Aunt Song's people didn't see the slave maid." โ€

Lu Guanlan said "um", sat down at the desk, picked up an ancient scroll and flipped through it.

The hour flickered, and it was noon.

As soon as Lu Guanlan sat down to eat, he heard Xiao Ju still shouting outside the courtyard.

Ah Li hurriedly ran to the yard to stop Xiao Ju, frowned and scolded softly: "You girl, why are you still screaming so much, Miss hasn't moved her chopsticks yet, but you have to stop yelling." โ€

Xiao Ju pursed her lips and looked at Lu Guanlan.

Lu Guanlan beckoned, "Come in." โ€

"Miss! The slave and maid watched the movement in the front yard as you commanded. And guess what? Xiao Ju said as she covered her mouth and secretly had fun.

Of course, Lu Guanlan knew what was going on.

The reason why Xiao Ju stared at it was just to know when the show would be sung now.

Seeing that Lu Guanlan was silent, Xiao Ju coughed slightly embarrassed, and then said: "Master Fang Cai took Wang Shangshu, Mrs. Wang and Miss Qin'er to the dining hall, and before this person arrived, a woman broke out halfway. โ€

Lu Guanlan picked up the chopsticks and said casually: "Oh? Is it? โ€

Xiao Ju couldn't help nodding, "Yes!" As soon as the old man saw the woman, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly asked Steward Zhao to drive the woman out. โ€

When Lu Guanlan heard this, his brows furrowed.

Lu Bingyan is like this, it is too inhuman.

Anyway, I have been with my outer room for a long time, and I even have to come to the house in person for a household expense, begging for it.

Rao is now found by his old love, and he shouldn't be treated so indifferently, let alone let people be kicked out.

Lu Guanlan ate a few chopsticks and got up, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." โ€

In the dining hall, the eldest lady of the Wang family was pointing at Lu Bingyan's nose and scolding, Wang Shangshu was usually afraid of the inside, he only dared to watch from the sidelines, and he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Wang Qin'er couldn't speak in the mansion, let alone today's wedding banquet, she could only look at it from the sidelines, looking at Lu Bingyan with distressed eyes.

In addition to these four people, there is also an uninvited guest, that is, the outer room Si Yuanyuan that Lu Bingyan kept outside.

It's not just Lu Guanlan who came to see the excitement.

Hearing the news, there were also Zhou Susu, who was "sick in bed", and Song Yuemei, who was seriously ill.

These two lords also brought their daughters, but this quiet marriage banquet suddenly became very lively.

When Mrs. Wang saw that this outer room dared to find the mansion, and dared to disturb the Wang family's family banquet, she immediately stopped fighting.

Although she doesn't want to see Wang Qin'er, she is also her nominal eldest daughter, so how can she allow an outer room to be bullied.

Lu Bingyan didn't expect Si Yuanyuan to come today.

He made a lot of calculations, only thinking that the inner courtyard could be stopped, who would have thought that he would count out a Si Yuanyuan.

At this time, Lu Bingyan regretted it very much, why did he lose his mind in the first place, he had to redeem this Qinglou woman, and he had to bring it back to raise it.

It's just that no matter how many grievances there are this time, it's hard to say.

Si Yuanyuan's face was indifferent, looking at this scene in the dining hall, there was no turmoil in his heart, and he even found a chair to sit down.

Song Yuemei and Zhou Susu came one after another, and when they saw this formation, the two of them invariably showed a smile.

Song Yuemei knew best why Si Yuanyuan came here today, and only became a "peacemaker" that she was good at in the past.

stepped forward and saluted everyone and said, "Master Wang, Mrs. Wang, don't be angry, there may be some misunderstanding here." โ€

Lu Bingyan was used to seeing Song Yuemei come out to be a peacemaker in the past, and he didn't care whether Song Yuemei's aunt spoke well on such occasions, so he nodded along with Song Yuemei's words: "Mrs. Wang, you have to listen to my explanation, there is really a misunderstanding in this." โ€

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Song Yuemei answered again: "Yes, the old man is a plain person, Wang Shangshu knows best, how can he casually raise the outer room of the Qinglou?" โ€

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she became even more angry.

Or is it an outer room from a green building? Just don't take their Wang family in your eyes?

Lu Bingyan used to be the one who listened to Song Yuemei's words, and he never thought that Song Yuemei was saying strange things, but he also felt that others were making a big fuss and misinterpreting Song Yuemei's kindness.

Now that she is the one who "helps" Song Yuemei to speak, she can hear that Song Yuemei has something to say.

"In that case, how does Lord Lu explain it?" Mrs. Wang was patient, thinking that she must not lose her sense of proportion in front of others.

Without waiting for Lu Bingyan to speak, Song Yuemei said: "If Mrs. Wang doesn't believe it, just ask the woman." โ€

Lu Bingyan was suddenly anxious, how could he ask Si Yuanyuan.

If you go to ask Si Yuanyuan, wouldn't you not be self-confessed?

At this time, Si Yuanyuan raised his eyes to look at Song Yuemei, and saw that Song Yuemei was looking at him with a smile, and nodded lightly at herself.

Then he retracted his gaze and turned his head to catch a glimpse of Lu Guanlan.

Lu Guanlan also sat down on the chair, holding tea in his hand, like a spectator on the high platform on the second floor.

Don't ask about the world, don't stain the dust.

Just watched all this silently and coldly, and stayed out of it forever.

Si Yuanyuan sighed in his heart, how could such a girl be Lu Bingyan's daughter.
