Three days later, Mrs. Chen celebrated her birthday, and the powerful people in Beijing came to celebrate her 70th birthday.

Early this morning, Ah Li urged Lu Guanlan to get up and freshen up, and it didn't take long for Mama Zhang to report that the carriage was ready to stop, so she waited for the ladies to freshen up and go out.

Ah Li prepared a concubine-colored dress for Lu Guanlan, thinking that the old lady's birthday should be celebrated.

Lu Guanlan shook his head, "Today, Old Madam Chen's family is set to be happy, we outsiders don't need to be so conspicuous," and picked out a cloud-shouldered robe embroidered with blue and white bright birds.

After tidying up, Lu Guanlan took Ah Li out of the yard.

As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw Song Yuemei waiting early.

Seeing Lu Guanlan come out, Song Yuemei immediately smiled on her face, "Your sisters are waiting for you in the carriage, hurry up and get on the carriage." ”

Lu Guanlan bowed slightly, and his face under the pink and white veil seemed to be smiling.

Song Yuemei looked at it in her eyes, and felt that Lu Guanlan was unconvinced. Rao is words at the dinner table yesterday did not play a role in Lu Bingyan's heart, but it was in vain that she had done enough virtuous in front of Lu Bingyan over the years.

You must know that now this disfigured concubine is no longer useful to Lu Bingyan, how could she suppress their mother and daughter just by her Lu Guanlan's words.

Lu Bingyan didn't go with their daughters because of the previous dynasty, Song Yuemei had enough of the masculine mother's style, and even when she saw the little girl outside the door, she thought that this Aunt Song was now in charge.

When I opened the curtain, I saw Lu Jingzhu wearing a concubine-colored skirt and a magpie golden hairpin on her bun.

Lu Guanlan couldn't help laughing, this look was picked by Song Yuemei, in order to please Mrs. Chen, she really put a lot of effort into it, but in her opinion, it was too much like a peacock with flowers.

Today's Lu Lianqing is very quiet, I don't know if Zhou Susu taught before going out.

There was no word all the way, until in front of the general's mansion, everyone got off the carriage one after another.

The General's Mansion does not have such a poetic and picturesque sense as the Shangshu Mansion, and there are no flowers from the gate to the backyard except for the pine and cypress decorations. Mama led everyone into the flower hall of the inner courtyard, and saw that the ladies were chatting in the hall.

At this time, Lu Guanlan saw a woman who was greeting the rest of the noblewomen in Beijing. This woman is Song Yuemei's sister-in-law, and now she is also the wife of the Taixuetang Bachelor.

Song Yuemei's maiden family is a family of Beijing Chinese studies, and Song Yuemei's grandfather was also a cabinet scholar, and it stands to reason that Song Yuemei is not from a bad background, but she became a concubine of Shangshufu.

The people next to him were naturally puzzled, but Lu Guanlan knew that this Song Yuemei was just a concubine, and if she married an ordinary poor family, she would naturally be a wife.

But Song Yuemei was unwilling to be inferior, and in order to climb the famous family, she ran away from home with her dashing and uninhibited father, and since then, the Song family has refused to recognize this daughter.

Now that I see her, I don't know if Song Yuemei, the sister-in-law, will look at her squarely.

Just thinking about it, Sister Song Yuemei, who is now Mrs. Wang, looked over here, and when she saw Song Yuemei, her face suddenly sank.

Song Yuemei naturally saw it, but she just pretended not to care.

She didn't care what others thought of her, she went to the banquet today, but she just wanted to bring Jingzhu to stand out, as long as Jingzhu moved to Kyoto, there would be a good life for their mother and daughter in the future.

Lu Guanlan didn't like such an occasion, as a queen in her previous life, she was often held in the palace for state banquets and family banquets, and all people came and went, which really annoyed her.

She sat in the flower hall for a while, and then took Ah Li to walk around.

The inner courtyard of the General's Mansion is quite large, and I haven't walked around for a while. Just as he was about to sit down and rest by the gazebo, he heard a woman shouting loudly.

Lu Guanlan followed the prestige, and saw a woman in a goose yellow robe standing on the other side of the pool, shouting people everywhere. But for some reason, there is not even a maid and a grandmother here.

Seeing the woman's anxious face, Lu Guanlan followed the woman's gaze, and saw that a parrot in the middle of the pool had fallen into the water, and it was struggling to flap its wings, but because its feathers were stained with water, it couldn't fly.

"Ah Li, let's go and take a look," Lu Guanlan got up, walked across the small bridge, and walked to the woman's side.

When the woman saw someone coming, she hurriedly pleaded: "This sister, I don't know how to be watery, my family has fallen into the water, I ······ I ······"

It seems that he is in a hurry, and he can't understand the words for a while.

Lu Guanlan smiled, stretched out his hand and began to take off his coat, and was so shocked that Ah Li on the side hurriedly shouted, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

Lu Guanlan was silent, took off his coat and let Ah Li hold it, took off his embroidered shoes, jumped into the water, and after swimming a few times, he lifted the parrot up, and with one hand holding the parrot's wings, and swam back to the shore with one hand.

He handed the parrot to the woman, who held it in both hands, and said that she would take her to the house to change her clothes.

After Lu Guanlan changed his clothes, the woman settled the parrot, and then walked up to Lu Guanlan, but she didn't think about kneeling down, "Sister, I really don't know how to thank you, this parrot was left to me by my deceased mother, if you don't save me today, then I won't even have the only thought, and I hope that Miss will tell me that I will definitely visit another day." ”

Lu Guanlan helped the woman up, "Miss Chen doesn't have to be like this." ”

Chen Ruoxuan was stunned, "How does my sister know my surname, I don't seem to have seen my sister before." ”

Lu Guanlan said: "Chen Hailu only has one daughter, most of the female relatives who came to celebrate his birthday today are in the flower hall, just now you love to pet overboard, you call around, if it is a foreign guest, there will be no girl around, naturally there is no need to call people like this, I guessed your identity." ”
