Chapter 874: Row of seats
After a long discussion, An Sheng was able to sit down.
She didn't sit with the Lin family, but sat under the Fang family and the Shen family, she was not a talkative person, and the people sitting in this room were all elders, so she didn't talk nonsense.
Most of the elders like this, and they seem to be well-behaved children, so everyone's impression of An Sheng is good.
In addition, knowing that An Sheng's master is Master Puyun, everyone also thinks that An Sheng probably has nothing to find fault with except for his background.
But Lu Zheng is from a high background, and he himself has ability, to say that there is really no one in Yejing City who is about the same age as her now, and there is really no one who has such high achievements like him.
But Lu Zheng has one bad thing, that is, his wife.
With only this one, it is not easy for Lu Zheng to set a family affair that is suitable everywhere.
Thinking about it this way, I think that this family affair with An Sheng is not so inappropriate.
It's just that An Sheng's background is a little low, after all, Lu Zheng will inherit the title of Duke Protector in the future, which the emperor should have personally undertaken.
However, the meaning of everyone looking at the old lady Wei and his wife Lin is obviously extremely satisfied with An Sheng, both of them are satisfied, what can others say?
I think that when this family affair was decided, it was not that no one had said anything about An Sheng in front of the Wei family and the Lin family, but the main thing was that the identities of the two children were not equal, and they were really a good match.
But once this marriage was given by the Queen Mother, even if others had opinions, they didn't dare to say anything outside, but they just privately pouted the Wei family and the Lin family.
But Wei and Lin ignored it.
Second, Wei and Lin both showed that they liked An Sheng very much, so after others said it twice, they didn't say too much when they saw that people refused to listen.
It is true that the Lu family is a big family, but now the most prosperous is only the vein of the Huguo Mansion, and most of the others rely on their vein to survive, who dares to really call the Wei family and the Lin family unhappy.
I think there were people who wanted to give their stepchildren to the Protector's Mansion, but they asked Wei to scold him directly, and since then, no one has dared to mention it.
The Wei family is a vigorous and resolute character, and he has not taken care of the affairs of the family much over the years, and most of them are handed over to the Lin family, but when it comes to the Wei family, there is no one in the Lu family who is not afraid.
The Wei family was born in a high-ranking family, and he was also born in Jiangmen, and he has a sassy atmosphere that ordinary women do not have.
But I'm afraid it doesn't mean that there is no little calculation in my heart, originally, there are still some people planning to take advantage of today's banquet in the Protectorate Mansion to take a good look at An Sheng, if An Sheng's character and appearance are not outstanding, and the Wei and Lin families treat them in general, then they can send the two girls with top-notch appearance and character to come over, and they can also better help the family.
However, after meeting An Sheng, these people dispelled this idea.
At this time, they were all glad that they didn't reveal this idea to the Wei family first, if they did, the Wei family and the Lin family valued An Sheng's strength, and they didn't have to worry about it again.
If that's the case, this trip will be in vain.
In previous years, the Protector Mansion was able to bring a lot of things when I went back, but if I couldn't bring things back this year because I said the wrong thing, and the thing didn't get done, it would be really a waste of time.
Because of this consideration, the atmosphere in the warm pavilion has always been particularly harmonious.
After more than half an hour of this, people from outside said that the feast had been set up, and that the old lady and the ladies were invited to go with them.
As mentioned earlier, there is a garden in the Protector's Mansion dedicated to listening to plays, and it is very suitable to watch the play and drink and feast at the same time.
Today's banquet of the Lu family is placed in this garden.
There is a high-ceilinged two-story small building opposite the stage, which is where the older generation such as the Wei family sit, and a wide verandah is enclosed below, and there are charcoal basins on both sides of each table, and the curtain is rolled up only in the place where the play is listened to in front, which is not leaky, and it is convenient to watch the play, which can be described as ingenious.
The male and female guests sit on the east and west sides separately, with screens in between, which is not rude.
After the guests were seated, the freshly dressed maids served the food, and the first play had already begun on the stage.
This first play, naturally, has to be done by the old lady Wei of the Protector's Mansion, and no one will steal the limelight.
Wei did not refuse, when Lin brought the play list to her, she happily ordered two plays, and then asked Lin to take down the play list, and asked everywhere what kind of play the guests liked.
In fact, this bit of drama is also exquisite, you can't order it randomly, and not everyone can order it.
However, the guests who can come to the Protector's Mansion for the banquet are also very familiar with these, so no one has made an inappropriate move.
The juniors don't have any plays, these are all left to the elders, after all, there are still a lot of elders today.
On the female guest's side, because of the relationship between the Gu family and the Lu family, the Xu family was naturally called by the Wei family to sit at the main table, and the Fang family and the Shen family were also at the same table as the Zheng family and the Lin family, but the Zheng family and the Lin family were still busy and did not sit down.
And An Shengmo sat with Lu Jiamin and several other young ladies.
This table is full of the ladies and daughters in the capital, only An Sheng, an outlier, seems a little out of place, but An Sheng is not afraid of these, how the Lin family arranges the seats, how she sits.
In fact, when the Lin family arranged the seats, she naturally considered it, how could she be willing to ask An Sheng to be bullied by Lu Jiamin and them, so there is also a good sister of An Sheng at this table, Xie Wanrong.
Xie Wanrong had already returned to Beijing yesterday, and today she happened to come to Lu's house for a banquet with the Duchess of Wenguo and the princess of Wenguo.
The Lin family knew that Xie Wanrong and An Sheng had a good relationship, so when arranging the location, the two of them were specially arranged in one place.
Therefore, even if those daughters have eyes on the top of their heads and are very arrogant, the two of them are not afraid, anyway, they ignore the two of them, and the two of them will say their own, which is good.
It just so happened that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they missed each other so much, and they had a lot to say.
Of course, everyone won't be too ugly, this is after all in the Protector's Mansion, An Sheng, as the future daughter-in-law of the Protector's Mansion, the future Protector's Duchess, no one really dares to embarrass her in the Protector's Mansion, so although these ladies are not very enthusiastic, no one takes the initiative to stir up trouble, so it's really good for An Sheng.
