After the turn of the day, the weather was still sunny, and Lu Jiayue went to the upper room with Meng to say hello.

Old Mrs. Qu saw that Lu Jiayue was wearing a silver and blue cloud brocade silk jacket, which was a little thin, so she asked the maids to burn a charcoal basin and put it near her, and said: "Although it is February now, the earth dragons have stopped, and the house is still a little deserted, and your little girl's family should wear more to avoid catching a cold." ”

Before the words fell, Lu Jiayue hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and sneezed twice in a row.

"Look, isn't it a cold?" Old Madam Qu hurriedly called Coral, "Go to the cabinet and bring the clothes to Yueya to wear first." "Call the pearl again," pour a cup of hot tea. ”

Old Madam Qu was so nervous, but Lu Jiayue couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Old Madam don't worry, I don't feel cold, maybe the wind blew for a while when I came over, but it didn't matter." ”

Meng Shi also hurriedly touched Lu Jiayue's hand and forehead, but it was still warm, so he was relieved.

Just as he was taking two sips of hot tea, Coral came over with a piece of clothing and served Lu Jiayue to put it on.

Lu Jiayue saw that the color of the dress was verdant and bright, and it was made of a cardigan style, with a red and fine brocade lining and a layer of silk cotton, but the fabric on the outside did not look like ordinary brocade.

When I got on again, I felt soft and soft, which was very different from the clothes I wore on weekdays.

Old Madam Qu looked Lu Jiayue up and down, and smiled at Meng Shi: "It really fits, the moon girl loves to wear green and blue colors on weekdays, and she has to wear this dress to look good." ”

As soon as Lu Jiayue heard this, she knew that it was Mrs. Qu who had specially ordered someone to make new clothes for her, so she hurriedly stood up and was about to bow and thank her, when Mrs. Qu had already waved her hand with a smile and motioned for her to sit down.

Lu Jiayue was grateful to Mrs. Qu for her love in her heart, and she still bowed respectfully, but she didn't say thank you.

Meng also felt that Old Lady Qu was too partial to Lu Jiayue, but he was afraid that it would make the Fourth Lady Fang not very happy.

After all, Qu Wei is the girl in this family who deserves Mrs. Qu's preference the most.

Meng Shi smiled and said to Mrs. Qu: "Such a good feather brocade, you should cut the clothes for Wei Yatou to wear." ”

Old Madam Qu shook her head and said with a faint smile: "You know the goods, isn't this material a feather brocade woven with peacock feathers twisted into extremely fine silk threads?" However, Wei Yatou has always only liked to wear pink and red, so the blue and blue clothes were given to her, and they were also white and pressed the bottom of the box. ”

said, looked at Lu Jiayue again, full of pity, "In the end, the moon girl has a good charm and can suppress such a bright color." ”

"She's a little girl, where did she get any charm, old lady, you just love her." Meng said, smirking and sighing.

Old Madam Qu said again: "This brocade is not rare, where can I be considered to be partial to the moon girl." In fact, it is rare to be the snow fox skin last time, it was a reward that Uncle Guo received when he drove to Chixia Mountain for winter hunting a few years ago, but he didn't keep it, and gave it to his aunt's wife, and his aunt and wife transferred it to me. ”

Lu Jiayue was slightly stunned.

No wonder when she got the snow fox fur cloak that day, my aunt said that it was difficult to buy such a good leather outside, and it turned out to be a gift from the emperor.

It's just that he has already given Ding Can the only remaining set of four treasures of the study, if you want to thank him again, what gift should you give?

After thinking about it, Lu Jiayue decided to pretend not to know first, smiled lightly, and said: "Then I don't care who is the original owner, I only accept the old lady's affection." ”

"Sure enough, slippery." Old Madam Qu pointed to Lu Jiayue and laughed.

Just talking and laughing, the maid outside came in with a big red bronzing name card and presented it to Mrs. Qu.

Mrs. Qu didn't answer, and asked first, "Who sent it?" ”

The maid smiled back: "The door in the front yard said that it was sent by Yang Shoufu's mansion, and a post was also sent to the eldest lady, and this post was only for the old lady." ”

Old Madam Qu nodded, then took the post in her hand, opened it and took a look, and said with a smile: "It is the fourth young master in the Yang Mansion who is married, and Mrs. Yang invites us to come to the house to drink the wedding wine, and the date is set for the twelfth of this month." ”

Meng Shi also smiled: "I have heard that the fourth young master of the Yang family has set the eldest girl of the Pingyuan Hou family, this family business is really ---."

"It's a match made in heaven." Old Madam Qu took Meng Shi's words and smiled indifferently.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a tacit look quite tacitly.

There was a moment of silence in the banquet room.

Lu Jiayue was surprised by this sudden silence, so she listened to the old lady and smiled: "These girls in the family haven't been to other houses for some days, so this time I will bring them all, and there will be a wedding banquet on the left and right. ”

Adding excitement to other people's wedding banquets is only secondary, in fact, I want to take my own girls out to show their faces in front of many official ladies, after all, several girls have also reached the age of suitable marriage, go out to meet people more, and when they choose a marriage match in the future, they can also have more choices.

Meng Shi understood Old Madam Qu's intentions, so he naturally agreed.

Old Madam Qu smiled at Lu Jiayue again: "You will wear this dress that day, and then put on a little makeup or two, and keep it to compare the girls of other families." ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but giggle.

Recently, it has been sunny and warmer, who would have expected that on February 11, Qu Ying suddenly fell ill.

I asked Imperial Doctor Cheng to come and take a look, saying that he occasionally felt a cold, and he had to drink decoction every day, and it was advisable to recuperate.

Qu Ying sighed with Lu Jiayue with regret: "I want to go to Yang Mansion with you to see the excitement, but this illness is too unfortunate, I can't go, and I don't know when I will go out next time." ”

Lu Jiayue had to comfort Qu Ying: "Sister, don't worry, wait for me to go, come back and talk about those excitement and listen to my sister the same, I will bring more joy candy back to give my sister a sweet mouth." ”

On the twelfth day of February, the daughters of the Qu family went out in the afternoon and went to the Yang Mansion.

Mrs. Qu originally wanted to only take the two daughters-in-law of Meng and Fang, the granddaughter-in-law Xu, Qu Wei and Lu Jiayue to the Yang Mansion, but the second lady Duan heard the news, and brought Duan Wenxin to take the carriage and followed silently.

Now that she has followed, Old Madam Qu will never drive the Duan family back again, so she can let her go.

In the afternoon, it was the busiest time in the market, and Lu Jiayue and Qu Wei sat in the same carriage again, and there was really no quiet time all the way.

Fortunately, she rode with Mrs. Qu and the three of them, and with Mrs. Qu in charge, Qu Wei did not poke her whole body out of the carriage, but just lifted the curtain and kept looking out.

If you see something interesting, you have to pull Lu Jiayue to watch it with her before you give up.

Lu Jiayue was helpless, leaned on a plain satin square pillow and leaned against the wall, as soon as Qu Wei pulled her, she moved her eyes and glanced outward, which was considered to be a response to Qu Wei.

After a group of carriages and horses traveled slowly for more than half an hour, Qu Wei pointed outside the curtain again, but smiled at Mrs. Qu and said, "Grandmother, this is at the eldest aunt's house!" ”

Lu Jiayue also followed Qu Wei to look out.

Sure enough, it was the Suiguo Mansion.

It turned out that he had already arrived at Changshun Fang, and Yang's Mansion was in Yongping Fang, and he would arrive further on.

Lu Jiayue was looking at the gate of the Suiguo Mansion, when suddenly a gust of wind came and blew the curtain high, and Lu Jiayue's gaze changed direction unintentionally.

Most of the pedestrians on the road are walking, or riding in a sedan chair, or taking a car, but there is a man, dressed in fresh clothes, holding the reins lightly, slowly walking on the side of the road.

Lu Jiayue's gaze couldn't help but fall on the man.

Just one glance, I feel strange in my heart.

The man's back, why is it familiar?
