Chapter 64: A Chance Encounter on the Same Road

Lu Jiayue was still puzzled, the carriage had already traveled to the man's side and walked alongside him.

I heard the old lady Qu calling: "Uncle Guo! ”

When the man on the horse heard the sound, he turned his face sideways, it was Ding Can.

The curtain was raised, and Ding Can smiled and bowed to the old lady Qu, "It turned out to be the old lady--- you also went to the Yang Mansion to drink the wedding wine?" ”

At a glance, I saw Lu Jiayue sitting beside Mrs. Qu, smiling at her, and taking a look.

It was inconvenient to get up and salute in the carriage, so Lu Jiayue had to return with a smile.

"Exactly," Old Madam Qu looked at Ding Can with a smile on her face, "Uncle Guo has time to drink wine today, and I have always heard that Uncle Guo doesn't like to be lively." ”

Ding Can smiled: "It is rare for Yang Shoufu's family to hold a happy event, and he made a special trip to invite me, so I can't shirk it." ”

Old Madam Qu nodded, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo wears this official robe to drink wedding wine, it is really appropriate for the occasion - this red color, but don't let people mistake Uncle Guo for the groom." ”

Lu Jiayue's gaze fell on Ding Can.

Sure enough, he was wearing the official robe of the commander of the third-grade golden feather guard--- vermilion flat gold velvet embroidered unicorn suit.

No wonder he felt that his back was familiar, he eavesdropped outside Cousin Song's study that day, wasn't he wearing this official robe and sitting with his back to the window?

But that day just glanced at his back, but I didn't think so, at this time he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting on a tall horse, under a closer look, the original gentle and elegant bearing, naturally a little more majestic.

I heard Ding Can smile at the old lady Qu again: "The old lady doesn't make fun of the juniors, the juniors want to be the groom, but it's a pity, I don't know where the bride is now." ”

Old Madam Qu suddenly laughed, "Although Uncle Guo lowers his eyes a little by one or two inches, he will naturally get his wish." ”

Ding Can shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Along the way, Mrs. Qu and Ding Can talked and laughed very happily, Lu Jiayue quietly stayed beside Mrs. Qu, but suddenly found that Qu Wei, who had been twisting like a monkey, also stopped rarely, and curled up alone in the corner of the carriage, frowning, looking at a loss.

"What's wrong with Sister Wei?" Lu Jiayue asked her softly.

Qu Wei stretched out her hand and pulled Lu Jiayue closer to her, and whispered in her ear: "... Grandmother just talked to him, I... But I didn't want to see him. ”

Lu Jiayue was stunned for a moment, and then she figured out who Qu Wei was referring to by "he".

So I couldn't help but be surprised, "Why doesn't Sister Wei want to see Uncle Guo?" ”

"I'm afraid..."Qu Wei's smart eyes quickly glanced out of the curtain, her expression was worried, "I heard my father say that he investigated the case for the saint, and I don't know how many people died at his hands..." ”

When Lu Jiayue heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

In fact, on the second day of the first lunar month, in Mrs. Qu's upper room, it was the first time that she and Ding Can met. Didn't he have the same fear of Ding Can as Qu Wei?

But I don't know when he started, but he felt that he was gentle and generous, and not as unapproachable as others had said about it.

Was it because he had to break the siege on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, or did he say that he didn't remember her eavesdropping under the wall for a long time?

Lu Jiayue thought about it carefully, but there was no answer in her heart.

"Sister Lu, you can still laugh," Qu Wei looked at Lu Jiayue's eyes full of admiration, "You are so bold!" ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't stop laughing more and more, and said in a low voice: "My courage is not as good as you, you even dare to set off firecrackers, but you are afraid of a big living person?" ”

Qu Wei's face turned red, and she muttered, "... What is there to be afraid of firecrackers, it is terrible to kill people..."

Lu Jiayue and Qu Wei were whispering, and suddenly there was a noise to greet them, and the sound of silk bamboo gongs and drums gradually came into their ears.

Lu Jiayue looked out of the curtain, and not far ahead, there was a high-gate mansion.

The red lantern was hung high on the door, and people came and went under the door, so it turned out that the Yang Mansion had arrived.

*

Ding Can got off the horse in front of the main gate of the Yang Mansion, and the little maid of the Yang family came up and led the horse, and Ding Can saluted the old lady Qu and went in from the main gate.

The carriages and horses of the ladies were inconvenient to stop in front of the main gate, and a small servant came up and led a group of carriages and horses into the house through the side door.

In front of him, the Yang family's guide maid took them, the Meng family, the Fang family and others surrounded the old lady Qu and followed slowly, and the Duan family took Duan Wenxin to the end.

Lu Jiayue held Mrs. Qu steadily, walking forward under her feet, with a pair of eyes, but looking around quietly.

There are a lot of people coming and going around him, maids, maids, and servants, all of whom are in a hurry, but all of them have smiles on their faces.

There are also female guests who keep coming, in groups of three or five, passing by with a smile, leaving a burst of fat powder fragrance.

In her previous life, she lived in the Qu family for three years, she had never gone out with Mrs. Qu and the Meng family, and she had not seen the style of other families, so she thought that the mansion of Qufu was already broad and deep, and when she went back to Suiguo Mansion, she knew that there were mountains outside the mountain, which was an eye-opener.

Now I have entered the mansion of the first auxiliary minister, and I have seen all the way, the deep courtyard with the vermilion wall, and the painting of the house, which is different from the Suiguo Mansion.

After walking for two moments, the leading maid pointed ahead and said with a smile: "The front is the Moon Tower, and the ladies and girls of each family are sitting in the building." ”

When you come to the downstairs of Mochizuki, it is a two-storey green paint building, there are stairs to go up on the left and right, and there are corridors upstairs and downstairs, and there are already many female guests leaning or standing on the corridor, and bursts of laughter come from the building from time to time.

Looking at the opposite side of the Moon Tower, there is also a two-story small building, the style is the same as the Moon Tower, but the whole is vermilion lacquer.

When the maid saw Lu Jiayue looking at the vermilion lacquer building, she smiled and said, "That's asking the star building, and the old and young masters of all the families are eating and drinking and playing in it." ”

Looking at the middle of the two small buildings, a stage was set up, and the actors were singing happily on the stage.

Old Madam Qu couldn't help laughing and said: "This kind of decoration is exquisite, one side of the stage is singing, and you can see it clearly from both sides upstairs." ”

The difference is that after all, there are all female guests in the Moon Tower, and the window sill of the corridor upstairs and downstairs is hung with a layer of thin veil from top to bottom for shelter.

Next to the stage, there are more than a dozen small clay stoves, and the maids are boiling water and cooking tea, and they are very busy.

Mrs. Qu and her entourage followed the guide maid all the way up the ladder, came to the second floor of the Moon Tower, and under the signal of the guide maid, in the southeast corner, they chose two tables and sat down, and the maid served tea with a small tea tray with peach hearts, and put on twelve pastries and fruits of various colors.

Qu Wei saw that the pastry was exquisitely made, tasted two pieces, and asked Lu Jiayue to taste it too, Lu Jiayue also took a piece of rose cake, and only then took a bite, and heard Fang's "ouch".

Fang Shi held the teacup in his hand, with a rather surprised look, looked at Duan Shi who was sitting on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "This is really --- when did the second sister-in-law come with you?" I didn't see it. ”

Duan's smile was cold, and he glanced at Fang's family, "What's the matter, only the fourth brother and sister are allowed to come, so I am not allowed to come?" Mrs. Yang's post is not for the four siblings alone. ”

"The second sister-in-law is right," Fang smiled and took two sips of hot tea, "It's just that I think that the second sister-in-law has never been very lively, and I thought that the second sister-in-law refused to appreciate this face and came out with the old lady." ”

Duan snorted, and was about to refute, but the corner of his eye had no intention of glancing, but it was Old Madam Qu who was looking at her intently.

She couldn't help but froze, and then she saw four or five maids and grandmothers coming over with a noble lady in gorgeous makeup.

The noble lady was about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a smooth countenance, a graceful bearing, and a look of joy that could not be concealed.

Before she could get closer, Old Madam Qu had already stood up and stretched out her hand.

"Mrs. Yang, congratulations, congratulations!"
