“…… It's really rare for me to look at the daughters of my sister's family......"

Da Meng, who married into the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, has a good relationship with her husband, but unfortunately there is only one son Ji Ling for many years. That's it, it's the eldest son, who looks good and motivated, much better than the son who spends all day drinking and not knowing how to make progress in other people's families.

When Ji Ling was three years old, under the arrangement of his mother-in-law, Da Meng's family took the initiative to accept a well-colored woman Xia as an aunt for An Guohou, thinking that if he gave birth to a son and a half daughter, he could make an arm for his boy. Who knew that Aunt Xia was actually a competitive person, and she actually won a man in one fell swoop! In the following year, he gave birth to his concubine Ji Minghe.

But I don't know what the reason is, and later An Guohou accepted a few girls one after another, but no one gave birth to a child for him. It is because Da Meng's is rare and tight when he sees someone else's girl, not that his son is not good, if he is intimate, he is naturally the best daughter.

"Me...... I always thought that if Ling'er was a daughter, I would be able to dress him up beautifully and marry him back to his parents' family," Da Meng Shi also took Xiao Meng's hand and spoke, but his eyes swept over the faces of the Lu family's daughters, "...... Even if it's with your sister, it's excellent. ”

Xiao Meng smiled and said again and again.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, Cheng Jin is four years younger than Ling Er!"

"I'm just going to say it casually! Besides, it's only four years old, which is not a lot. "Da Meng's will accept it when he sees it, after all, there are so many people coming and going at this banquet, even if it is a sister, they should pay more attention. It's just that she came here with a certain meaning, wanting to see if her sister is willing to match...... So she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her voice was much softer than before.

"My sister knows, my lord has two sons, and it's just that this Ling Er doesn't get married, I'm just waiting for this kid to find a daughter-in-law who can lower him. But Minghe is not my own child, if I don't show him, how can others, as a mother-in-law, treat my concubine harshly......"

Xiao Meng had guessed a thing or two when he heard this cousin's tone earlier, and it was not surprising to hear her say this at this moment. She went through it in her head, thinking of the daughters of the Lu family, and then thinking that there were only two brothers in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, Ji Ling and Ji Minghe, even if it was the future of Ji Minghe, the concubine, would not be bad...... She had a certain number in her mind.

Xiao Meng took her sister's hand and patted it.

"Sister's peace of mind."

With this conversation, the sisters once again talked and laughed and ate wine.

Several sisters of the Lu family sat at the same table to eat, and there were two young ladies from the waiter's family at the same table.

Lu Yunlan was being served by the cuckoo to eat a wolfberry yam pork rib soup, she didn't even bother to raise her head, who let Da Meng sit at the table in front of them? It was Lu Yunmeng, who didn't know why he always looked up frequently, and looked ahead with a pair of beautiful eyes.

After a while, Xiao Meng's maidservant Qingzhu came to invite a few young ladies to the main table to talk.

Lu Yunlan knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she could only go with a few sisters. It's just that she was a little attentive, blindly making a shy appearance, and rarely looked up around until she reached the main table.

"Mrs. An Guohou saw the birthday gift you gave me today, and I thought it was very interesting, and I wanted to talk to you sisters."

Xiao Meng's words are mostly polite, how can Lu Yunlan not be clear about the experience of his previous life? This Da Meng wanted to ask to marry a concubine of the Lu family to his concubine, but everything had not yet been clarified, so in order not to stain the name of his daughter's family, he only used this as an excuse to talk a few words.

The girl in the blue dress followed behind the sisters and lowered her eyes and said nothing. According to the eldest and youngest descendants, although it is impossible for the Da Meng clan to marry Lu Zhe's eldest daughter, they also have to start with Lu Yunying.

Lu Yunying didn't know the trick, and answered truthfully that what she gave was a set of four treasures for the boudoir.

"Yes, your aunt likes this kind of thing," Da Meng smiled and deliberately teased today's birthday star, "I am already the mother of two sons, and I am still thinking about it!" ”

When it was Lu Yunmeng's turn, she saluted softly and gracefully, "It's a screen embroidered by Mengniang herself." ”

Da Meng immediately thought of the exquisite screen she had seen before, and she vaguely remembered that this second young lady was Lu Zhe's concubine's daughter...... Concubine...... She immediately smiled, beckoned to Lu Yunmeng, and motioned for her to come over.

"This little appearance is very good, I like it when I see it."

"Isn't it," Xiao Meng mentioned intentionally or unintentionally, "This is my eldest brother's daughter, line two, and she will be fifteen soon." ”

Lu Yunmeng has a delicate appearance, she is the most among the sisters, and now she is deliberately gentle, which is even more eye-catching.

Although Da Meng had the heart to talk a few more words, he was embarrassed to show it too obviously, so he could only praise Lu Yunmeng and continue to ask about the remaining daughters.

Lu Ren, the second master of Lu, has no ability, and his heirs are not very outstanding, and his only son is still a three-year-old child. Lu Yunshao, the daughter of the second room, is delicate and gentle, and she has a bit of grace in advance and retreat, but she is too shy and her voice is not loud enough; The concubine Lu Yunfei is cute and delicate, and her age is appropriate, but she is too outspoken and fast-talking, and she has lost her composure.

Lu Yunlan was the youngest among the sisters, so she was the last to speak. But she knew Da Meng's intention early on, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to be in the limelight at this time, so she learned from her third sister's low-spoken tone on weekdays, and made a timid appearance that couldn't be said to be a living person - Da Meng's saw this, and was really disappointed in her, but for the sake of face, he still patted her hand and praised Xiao Meng's for her "gentle and good temper".

Gentle and good-tempered, I really have nothing to praise her.

Lu Yunlan smiled in her heart, she didn't care about it, anyway, as long as Da Meng's family didn't look down on her.

In order to show that they treated several young ladies equally, Da Meng's specially prepared five identical purses and jade pendants as meeting gifts, and everyone accepted them before retiring one by one and returning to their tables.

Lu Yunlan played with the purse and jade pendant that Da Meng gave to their sisters, and walked back slowly.

"Fifth sister stays."

Lu Yunying, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped her, Lu Yunlan looked back, her eldest sister was wearing an orange pink dress today, which was bright and atmospheric, but the expression on her face was a little serious at the moment. Lu Yunying stepped forward and walked to her side in a few steps, her tone slightly puzzled, "Why are you acting like that in front of Mrs. An Guohou...... Although you are still young now, the evaluation of these ladies can be ...... for you in the future Very important. ”

Lu Yunlan didn't expect Lu Yunying to take the initiative to say this to her, and she could also point out the key points in a simple and direct way.

"Since my sister can think of this," the girl in the blue dress looked back, and the maidservants all stopped silently in place, not following them, "...... How could you not see that Mrs. An Guohou looked at each other among our sisters? ”

Lu Yunying was taken aback, "This ......" she paused, and then sighed slightly after thinking about it, "...... Since they look at each other, my sister has no reason to push it out. Although the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is not as good as us, it is also a first-class marquis's home, and it knows the roots...... Although Cousin Ling acted a little absurdly, he was still motivated in general. ”

Lu Yunlan smiled, "Sister, I think it's bad." ”

Lu Yunying frowned, "What did my sister say?" ”

The long orange and blue dresses of the two sisters did not stand out among the shadows of the flowers, but they seemed to merge into one, and the maids avoided them from a distance, and no one else would notice that they were standing under a number of bright golden cinnamon and talking.

The girl in the blue dress climbed the golden laurel branch with one hand and sniffed casually, while calmly saying.

"If it's for Cousin Ling's lifelong event, why bother to even watch our family's daughter-in-law? Cousin Ling is the only sister-in-law under Mrs. An Guohou's knees, and he is the eldest son, and he is still a ranked, so he will not be worse in the future, why should the son of their family succumb to the concubine of the Qingguo Mansion? ”

"Perhaps...... Is it to cover up? Lu Yunying knew her own situation, and she didn't think that the other party was coming to see her, but said, "I'm afraid that the third sister in the second room will be shy, so I said that I would meet our five sisters." ”

Lu Yunlan shook her head, "Sister, have you ever seen the expression of Mrs. An Guohou when she was talking to the third sister?" ”

Lu Yunying is not stupid, but lacks a little cleverness. She was nodded by Lu Yunlan at this moment, and naturally thought of the slightly regretful expression on Da Meng's face at that time - now that I think about it, it is not that I regret anything else, but that I regret that such a concubine said that it was a fly in the ointment for her parents, and that she was high enough to say that she was a concubine.

"But Minghe's cousin is a concubine," Lu Yunying said in a low voice, "Do you want to marry the brother above?" ”

"Although I am young, I have heard a few things about Cousin Ling, and I know that he is a capable person. If the cousin is unwilling in his heart, can Mrs. An Guohou force ......" Lu Yunlan lowered her eyes, as if she was describing a matter that had nothing to do with herself, "The second sister is too prominent, I am afraid that Mrs. An Guohou already has an idea. ”

Lu Yunying was stunned when she heard this, and then said.

"Even so, I don't think Cousin Minghe is bad."

"Lan Niang is young, she just wants to spend more time with her father and mother, and she has no other thoughts."

The girl in blue let go of her hand, and the golden laurel branch shook and fell many small and sweet petals, under the osmanthus tree, her dark eyes were like stars and night, but her voice was calm.

"Cousin Minghe is just an outsider after all, if he marries, what does it have to do with me? I don't want to wade into this troubled water. ”

……

Back at the table, anything to eat was a little tasteless. Lu Yunlan hastily used some fresh fruits and vegetables, and gradually became more interested, and Lian Rong saw that her young lady was not interested, so she took the initiative to mention that it was better to return to the yard early to draw two brushes of landscapes, flowers and birds, at least she could have a leisurely time.

"Besides, Xuelan is still in the courtyard......" Lian Rong muttered softly, "Let's go back and see what good things that hoof is doing, so that we can catch her off guard." ”

was interrupted by Da Meng's just now, and almost forgot about Xuelan's girl.

Lu Yunlan nodded, asked Du Juan to say goodbye to Xiao Meng, and he led the lotus rong to the Wind Lotus Courtyard first.
