When she came back to Qu Mansion and handed over all the clothes she should have with her, she handed over all the clothes she had with her to Juxiang Yuxiang to take care of it, and Lu Jiayue took Xin Zhu to the upper room to greet Mrs. Qu.

Because of the rain, it was very cool inside.

When Mrs. Qu saw Lu Jiayue coming in, she called her to her with a smile, took her hand and sat down beside her, asking long and short questions.

Lu Jiayue naturally said that Pu Yuan was good everywhere.

Old Madam Qu became more and more happy.

At noon, Lu Jiayue accompanied him for lunch.

After Mrs. Qu took a lunch break, Lu Jiayue came to Meng's house.

Since the Liang family had already said that they would come to make a decision after August 15, the Meng family began to collect a dowry for Qu Ying.

Because in March next year, Liang Hao will go down to participate in the Spring Festival, and the two families discussed and set the wedding date in April after the Spring Festival next year.

It's only been 10 months, so it's time to start preparing slowly.

After greeting Meng and gossiping, Lu Jiayue quietly stayed by Meng's side, watching Meng prepare a dowry list for Qu Ying.

Although the Liang family is a noble family and does not care whether the future daughter-in-law's dowry is rich, the Meng family is not willing to wronged her daughter, and every dowry on the dowry list is carefully selected by her.

All kinds of gold and silver utensils, antique ornaments needless to say, only the suburbs of Beijing around the size of the Zhuangzi there are three or four, the girl of the Qu family married, the official is also to give a dowry, Fang's has always had a look, will be a man, picked a Tang County of 500 acres of Zhuangzi added to Qu Ying's dowry list, although the Zhuangzi is a little far away from Kyoto, but it is a serious 500 acres of good paddy fields, whether it is rent collection or self-use in the future. Although Mrs. Qu didn't treat Qu Ying as much as Qu Wei, she also took out a set of gold silk phoenix inlaid ruby heads that she had treasured over the years and gave them to Qu Ying.

Mama Zhang also looked at the dowry list on the side, helping Meng Shi's palm.

The little maid opened the curtain, and Qu Ying came in.

"My sister is here." Lu Jiayue stood up and beckoned to Qu Ying with a smile, "Sister, come on, my aunt is looking at my sister's dowry list, and my sister herself is coming to take a look, but what is missing?" ”

Qu Ying smiled and glanced at her, "I have been living in other people's homes for these days, and I don't see you being more stable, but you will make fun of people more and more." ”

As he spoke, he walked up and sat down beside Lu Jiayue, took her hand, and the two of them said some affectionate words between girls.

Mama Zhang smiled and said: "Don't be shy, don't be shy, when Mrs. Zhang Luo marries the girl, she will start to marry Miss Cousin Zhang Luo with all her heart, and then it should be Miss Cousin who blushes every day." ”

reminded Qu Ying and said with a smile: "Mama is very right, see if this little girl will marry in the future, when she wants to get married, I have to laugh at her." ”

Lu Jiayue covered her face and pretended to be shy, and said with a smile: "Oh, grandma, sister, don't say it, before that time, I was already ashamed!" ”

The maids in the room laughed.

Meng Shi took Lu Jiayue's hand and asked her with a low smile: "I heard that you just went to Uncle Guo's Pu Garden, so Young Master Pan chased after you?" ”

Lu Jiayue waved her hand nonchalantly, "I've been there, I sent him away, I made it clear to him, he won't come to pester me in the future." ”

"You girl..."Meng couldn't help frowning, but he really had no choice but to laugh and sigh twice, and then gave up.

*

After talking and laughing in Meng's house for a long time, after dinner, Lu Jiayue returned to Chuntang Residence.

After washing, he was about to rest, Yuxiang came into the bedroom and said that Yuping had come.

The news brought this time was unexpected by Lu Jiayue.

“... Just a few days after Miss Biao went out, the second master was like a different person, happy, and no longer as worried as before... I secretly hid outside the door of the inner room and listened, and said some words to Cui Ping, it turned out that the second master was wronged and made it clear, relieved the suspicions of others, and listened to the second master praise the fourth young master incessantly, saying that the fourth young master is still smart and capable, a few words, an idea, not only returned the innocence of the second master, but also made a contribution in front of others... I didn't understand much, I didn't know what it meant, so I could only tell Miss Cousin as they were..."

After Yuping went, Lu Jiayue lay on the bed, thinking to herself.

A few words... An idea...

A few days ago, Qu Xian was in a difficult position, and it must have been the King of Wei who believed the rumor that Qu Xian had secretly taken refuge in the King of Jin, so Qu Xian lost the trust of the King of Wei and received a cold reception.

Now he is happy again, and naturally the rumors have been resolved.

But what does this have to do with Qu Rong?

Could it be that Qu Rong took the lead for his father Qu Xian and clarified the rumors to the King of Wei, thus clearing the suspicion of the King of Wei about Qu Xian?

Lu Jiayue vaguely felt that her guess was right.

Qu Rong still has such a ability...

She really underestimated him.

What is the idea that Qu Xian is referring to?

Qu Rong is just a prisoner studying in Guozijian, what idea can he have to help King Wei, and he can make a contribution to King Wei?

Puzzled, Lu Jiayue had to give up temporarily.

so as not to mess with your thoughts.

In any case, it seems that Qu Xian and Qu Rong, father and son, are determined to serve King Wei.

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but hesitate a little again, should she continue to find a way to cut off the connection between Qu Xian Qu Rong's father and son and King Wei, or should she let them go?

It's July, and it's still hot.

On the day of Qixi Festival, Ding Yu came.

As soon as he entered Chuntang Residence, he took Lu Jiayue's hand and said with a smile: "The market is lively tonight, will you accompany me out to have a look?" ”

Lu Jiayue has been preoccupied recently, and she has no heart to go out with Ding Yu to play.

Helplessly, Ding Yu begged for kind words, and several maids around her saw that Lu Jiayue was always depressed recently, so they also asked her to go out with Ding Yu to relax.

Lu Jiayue couldn't resist Ding Yu's begging, so she had no choice but to agree.

I went to tell Mrs. Qu and Meng Shi again.

Because Lu Jiayue had been separated in the market on the night of the Shangyuan Festival last time, as soon as Mrs. Qu and Meng Shi heard that she was going to go out for a night tour again, they were extremely cautious and deliberately arranged for more than 20 maids and servants to follow.

Ding Yu was unhappy, patted his chest and said, "With me here, I'm afraid that something will happen to you?" With so many people following, how can we have a good time? ”

So when he left Qufu, he sent the maids and maids back.

Each of them brought a personal maid and came and went freely in the market.

Although Qixi Festival is also lively, it is not as noisy and bustling as the Shangyuan Festival, and the flow of people is surging.

After walking around, there are mostly pairs of men and women around me, or two people walking side by side, or leaning on each other under the moon in front of the flowers, with strong affection and envy of others.

Lu Jiayue couldn't help laughing and said: "This Qixi Festival is a day for people to meet with lovers, let's also join in the fun, what's it." ”

Ding Yu only concentrated on the gadgets and food in the market, and said with a smile: "Let's go to ours, don't care what others do, just be happy." ”

The two were walking aimlessly in the market, Ding Yu suddenly pointed to a shop on the street in front of him, and said with a smile: "That's the best fat powder shop in Kyoto City, haven't you been there yet?" I'll take you to see, his rose paste is the best, moist and fragrant, you can buy two boxes and take it home..."

Lu Jiayue was taken by Ding Yu and came to the door of the fat powder shop.

Standing in front of the door, I saw that there were many women inside, in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, debugging fat powder.

There is only one man with a tall posture and heroic eyebrows, and among the women, he looks particularly eye-catching.

There was also a woman beside him, and he was bowing her head to talk to the woman, her eyes were gentle, and her words were smiling.

Lu Jiayue tugged at Ding Yu's sleeve and pointed out the pair of men and women to her.

Ding Yu only glanced at it and exclaimed.

"---That's my brother?!"
