The dust has settled on the matter of retiring relatives, and the Qu Lou family has no objection to this.

Meng Shi returned to his dignified and peaceful appearance from the front.

And Qu Ying has always followed the rules of "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker" for her marriage, and she has no admiration for Lou Wenke, so she did not take the matter of retreating to heart in her heart.

Such a result is what Lu Jiayue is happy to see.

It's just that she is often worried, and she doesn't know how to find a good husband for Qu Ying.

So he racked his brains to recall the events in his previous life, wanting to pick one of the talented people he had heard of to match Qu Ying.

But after thinking about it, I thought about it, and I didn't come up with a suitable one.

Kyoto City is so big, why can't you pick a good man?

Lu Jiayue felt helpless, and could only blame herself for being too lonely in her previous life.

A few more days passed, and the weather became colder and colder.

In the afternoon of this day, Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying were sitting in Meng's house, and Hexiang came in with a big red bronzing name in his hand, presented it to Meng's eyes, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Aunt just sent a post from someone, saying that the plum blossoms in the house over there are all blooming, and I want to invite the old lady and the lady, as well as the second lady, the third lady, and the fourth lady with a few young ladies to go to the house to enjoy the plum blossoms tomorrow." ”

Meng Shi remembered that he hadn't gone out for a few days, and recently because of Qu Ying's resignation, it was inevitable that he still felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to go out for a break.

took the post in his hand and said with a smile: "It's a good time to come - what did the old lady say?" ”

"The old lady also loves to be lively, and she should go down after taking the post," Hexiang snapped her fingers and said while counting, "The third lady also promised to go, although the fourth lady has a lot of things to do in the new year and is too busy, but she also said that she must take time to accompany the old lady, only the second lady, the child is fifteen, and the fourth young master is coming back, and she must not go out empty." ”

With Duan's lonely temper, it's just right not to go, so as not to have any tongue and wrong when you get it, which will make everyone unhappy.

Meng Shi became more and more happy, and asked Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying again: "Do you two little girls go?" The plum blossoms in the aunt's house are the best planted and bloom early, so we might as well go with the old lady to take a look. ”

Before the words fell, Qu Ying smiled and said: "I have to go, I went back to my aunt's house or the Double Ninth Festival to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs, the taste of crab meat is really good, and the chrysanthemum wine is also brewed well, but this time I don't know what delicious my aunt has prepared for us?" ”

When Lu Jiayue heard this, she couldn't help but hide her lips and smile: "My sister has become a little gluttonous cat like me now, and she thinks about eating all day long." ”

"Hey, this is the red one who is close to Zhu, and the one who is close to ink is black, it was all influenced by you," Qu Ying smiled and gently pushed Lu Jiayue, "You can go too, my mother and I are gone, and it's boring for you to stay at home alone." ”

Lu Jiayue hesitated slightly.

Qu Ying thought she was timid and afraid of seeing the living, so she said: "My aunt is the most kind, and she has always liked us juniors, you only have to go once to know." ”

The aunt's wife of the Qu family, Qu Yi.

In fact, in her previous life, Lu Jiayue had also seen this aunt and wife several times, and remembered that she was a woman with a gentle personality and quiet eyebrows. Because he was born to the old lady of the Wu family like the eldest master Qu Hong and the second master Qu Xian, he was very close to the Meng family, and every time he returned to Qu Mansion, he always stayed in the Meng family for the longest time.

As for the aunt's wife's house, Lu Jiayue has never been to it once.

Just as Qu Ying thought, in her previous life, she was ignorant and naïve, and she was timid and cowardly.

What's more, the mansion of this aunt's wife is honored and illustrious, no better than other families, it is the mother family of Queen Ding of the Middle Palace-Suiguo Mansion. The husband of the eldest aunt's wife is the younger brother of the queen, the former prince of Suiguo.

It is not so much that Lu Jiayue is timid and cowardly, but rather that she is inferior to herself, after all, she has lost her mother for several years and has no one to educate her, such a Xuan Hemendi, she is only afraid that she will accidentally make a mistake in some rules, and then become the laughing stock of others.

So it's better not to go.

Seeing this scene, Meng Shi also opened his mouth to persuade Lu Jiayue twice, Lu Jiayue only listened with a smile, but refused to respond.

At this time, the maid outside came in, saying that the big maid Pearl beside Mrs. Qu was here.

came for nothing else, and passed the words of Old Lady Qu to Meng's family.

"The old lady said that Ming'er will go to the aunt's house to enjoy the plum blossoms, please make sure the eldest lady brings Miss Lu Biao with her."

When Qu Ying heard this, she clapped her hands and smiled: "This sister can't shirk it, no one in the family dares not to listen to my grandmother's words." ”

Meng Shi also smiled and said to Lu Jiayue: "Let's go together, it's rare that the old lady likes you to accompany you, and the aunt's house is not an outsider, even if you go, you will not be restrained." ”

Meng tried his best to persuade him, and Mrs. Qu pointed out that she wanted to go with her, and Lu Jiayue also knew that if she blindly shirked it again, she would inevitably look petty.

So he smiled and agreed.

Qu Ying was the most happy, and immediately instructed the maids to prepare the clothes to wear when they went out tomorrow.

Lu Jiayue accompanied the Meng family to do something appropriate and take it to Suiguo Mansion tomorrow.

Since you are a guest at the house, you can't go empty-handed.

Suiguo Mansion is located in Changshun Fang, and like Anding and Yongping, it is the closest Li Fang to the Imperial Palace.

Those who can have mansions in these few miles are not high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and relatives of the emperor and the country.

The women of the Qu family had a group of six or seven carriages, and the old lady Qu took Qu Wei and Lu Jiayue to ride together, walking in the front, followed by the eldest lady Meng and her daughter-in-law Xu and Qu Ying, and then the third lady Huang with her daughter-in-law Hu and the second lady Qu Qian, but the fourth lady Fang was left, and she sat in a carriage alone, but she also fell quietly and comfortably. The rest of the carriages were occupied by the maids and grandmothers who followed them to serve.

It was inconvenient for the ladies to enter and exit the main gate, so the carriage stopped outside the side gate of the Suiguo Mansion. Qu Yi got the news and was already waiting in the door.

Lu Jiayue followed Mrs. Qu out of the carriage, and before she could stand firmly, more than a dozen servants and maidservants from the Guogong Mansion came forward to greet her, and they all hugged the daughters of the Qu family into the side door.

After entering the door, there is a two-storey building hall in front of you, with eaves and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. In the courtyard, there is a tall white jade shadow wall, and Qu Yi is standing under the shadow wall.

After the meeting, Qu Yi first greeted Mrs. Qu and several ladies, and then personally helped Mrs. Qu in front, and ordered the servants and maids to serve carefully, and led the ladies to the inner courtyard.

Lu Jiayue lowered her head and cautiously followed behind Old Madam Qu, for fear that she would make a mistake and make a joke from the people in the Suiguo Mansion.

But in my heart, I am curious, what will her mother's family be like when she is the queen of the middle palace in the world?
