Chapter 43: Greetings

Shu Yu took Afu's hand and patiently accompanied her slowly up the steps step by step.

Ah Fu said in a low voice: "Is the husband familiar with this adult?" ”

Shu Yu didn't want to say much, but said: "It's just a colleague." ”

Afu didn't ask.

The closer you get to the temple gate, the more attention is drawn to the incense and dancing in the temple.

Afu is still a little girl after all, she can't help but be curious, she can't help but raise her chin slightly, and look in with excitement.

Shu Yu looked at her sideways, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips slightly: Sure enough, she had been at home for a long time.

Well, the next time Madame is out of energy, he will know how to coax!

It's still a kid after all.

The wealthy ladies walking behind them inadvertently saw Pei Shangshu's idiot look, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths with handkerchiefs and laugh.

Ah Fu looked around consciously, and Shu Yu had already looked ahead, just as if nothing had happened.

The emperor and the ladies naturally haven't arrived yet.

About 20 tables were set up in the hall, and more than a dozen adults and ladies were already seated.

Hearing the roll call at the door, they all turned their heads to look over and silently examined the people who came.

There are several ladies who are quite familiar, and Daddy and Auntie, as the secretary and lady of the Ministry of Rites, also arrived early, which will be difficult to hide the excitement.

Facing the dignitaries and noblewomen, Afu was not stunned at all.

She has been beautiful since she was a child, and the elders in the family prefer her, and wherever she goes, the stars hold the moon like a fish in water.

What's more, she is the second lady of Pei's mansion, and who can take her lightly.

She gently untied the bundle, and let Sakura go to the big one for her, her eyebrows lowered, but her spine was straight, and she followed Shuyu one step away.

When Shu Yu entered the hall, he smiled and said, "I have a good old age for all the adults and ladies!" ”

Most of the people present at the table are in positions lower than him, or vacancies of the same level, and they will come out of their seats to return the salute.

Master Xiang and Mrs. Xiang also came over and saluted, and Shuyu only helped him.

After all, in the palace, Master Xiang, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is at the same level as Shuyu, and if he is serious, his authority is less than him.

Afu also followed her husband and only half a blessing.

Rao is like this, Mrs. Xiang is still full of excitement. What is the ordinary courtesy, the daughter's appearance is her face!

The daughter of Mrs. Xu, the superintendent of the country, once attended a girls' school with Afu, and now she is still in the boudoir.

She herself had to give a big gift to Afu, and it was difficult to hide the envy in her eyes, but she didn't dare to be sour in her mouth, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Pei Shangshu is really a talented woman, and the concubine is here to say that she will give birth to a noble son early!" ”

Afu smiled and bowed: "Thank you Mrs. Xu, I don't know that Sister Xu is a promiser?" ”

This question was in Mrs. Xu's arms, she only hoped that Afu could choose a good husband for her daughter from the family that the Pei family was friends with, and said hurriedly: "Still looking for it!" If Mrs. Pei has a suitable candidate, she must introduce you to Sister Xu! ”

Over there, Shuyu and Dr. Xu didn't know each other, one was a martial artist on the battlefield, and the other was floating and sinking in the vast sea, so there was really nothing to say, and both of them watched their wives socialize.

Afu smiled and turned her head to look at Shu Yu: "The concubine is not allowed to meet her husband's friends, and she has to ask her husband to pay a little attention." ”

Because of the presence of outsiders, her demeanor and tone are extraordinarily intimate, which makes Shuyu lose her for a long time.

It wasn't a big deal, so he nodded: "I'll pay attention." ”

It's just a hypocrisy, but being able to get Master Pei's promise still makes Dr. Xu and Mrs. Xu overjoyed, and the two saluted again before going back.

There is a crowd of people coming to Junyi and his wife.

The adult is usually a sociable person, and Mrs. Li Yuru is the eldest daughter of the left minister, which can be said to have a good background and attitude.

Because of the arrival of these two real power scholars, there was a commotion in the hall.

As soon as the two of them took their seats, the three Shangshu and Mrs. of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Labor, and the Household Department also walked into the hall, and there was another greeting.

Afu, the wife of Lord Qian of the Ministry of Households, is very familiar, and she has a relationship with Qian Duoer, the only daughter of the Ministry of Household Books, and is also a female gentleman.

But Afu has many sisters, and she often doesn't live in the capital, so she has feelings.

Shu Yu greeted Lord Qian: "Lord Qian, Mrs. Qian." I'm afraid I'll be able to see Miss Duo'er at the palace banquet this year, right? ”

Afu was surprised: "Auntie, has Duo'er entered the palace?" ”

Shu Yu immediately corrected her: "Now I'm going to call Niangniang!" ”

Lord Qian said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry now, I'm not in a hurry, I'll only be drafted next year, but the old man has already reported the name of the little girl, if he can enter the palace to serve the emperor, it can be regarded as the ancestor of our Qian family." ”

Afu remembered that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, her sister-in-law had mentioned that the beginning of the year would be big. Choose, I didn't expect that Duo'er, who was more pampered than herself, would have this idea.

Mrs. Qian smiled with sorrow, and nodded slightly as she listened to what her husband said.

Shu Yu remembers this Duoer girl vividly.

On the first night of last year, he fell in love with Afu at a glance, but he didn't know her name, but he recognized Duo'er of the rich Shangshu family among the girls in his companionship.

If it weren't for this vine, he wouldn't have been able to touch Afu's melon.

He wanted to tell Ah Fu about it, but he felt a little embarrassed, and he swept to Ah Fu and looked at a certain place...
