Chapter 12: The Family Feast

Old Madam Qu's face was full of tenderness and love, and she called Lu Jiayue to her with a smile, took her hand and asked her to sit next to her, "Good boy, when the banquet starts later, you can sit with me, let's have a good meal, and let them make trouble by themselves." ”

Lu Jiayue never thought that Old Madam Qu would be so close to her, and she was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, but the old man's words could not be ignored, so she responded obediently.

On the side, Meng Shi saw this scene in his eyes, and he was also secretly surprised. However, after thinking about it, my mother-in-law has always liked smart and beautiful little girls, and it is not surprising that my niece is well-behaved and intelligent, and she is also very good-looking, so it is not surprising that my mother-in-law likes her.

However, the fourth lady Fang said to Qu Ying with a smile: "Sister Ying, look at your grandmother who likes you so much, are you jealous?" ”

Qu Ying was wishing that Old Lady Qu would be more fond of Lu Jiayue, how could she be jealous?

So he smiled generously: "What did the fourth aunt say, how many sisters in the family, which grandmother doesn't hurt?" Now it's just the first time Sister Yue has arrived, and my grandmother has always loved our sisters, so now I should naturally be partial to Sister Yue, so as not to appear favoritism. ”

Everyone laughed, and Qu Ying was sweet and could speak.

At this time, a little girl suddenly walked in, and said with a grinning smile as she walked: "Big sister has a bearing, not jealous, I have a small heart, but I am going to be jealous." ”

The little girl who spoke was only eleven or twelve years old, with a petite and delicate figure, a double snail bun on her head, a jacket with cherry pink satin embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers, and six Hunan skirts in lake green.

This little girl is the daughter of the fourth lady Fang, the third lady of the Qu family, Qu Wei.

It is said that although Mrs. Qu has three granddaughters under her knees, only Qu Wei, a little granddaughter, is her bloodline, and her love and concern are naturally not comparable to others. The people of the Qu family all knew this, so they also looked at Qu Wei differently, so Qu Wei has developed a lively and uninhibited personality since she was a child.

The Fang clan also loves this daughter like a treasure on weekdays, but at this time, when everyone was present, she inevitably felt that her daughter was a little troublesome, so she frowned slightly and blamed softly: "Seniors, don't talk nonsense." ”

Old Lady Qu Su Ri loved this little granddaughter the most, and she couldn't bear to blame her, so she hurriedly called her to her and sat down next to her.

Old Madam Qu smiled and half-hugged Qu Wei in her arms, as if she couldn't see enough, she looked at her face and looked at the clothes she was wearing: "The jacket I am wearing today is bright-" looked at it carefully, and sighed, "Huh", "This material is not bad, fine and thick, but it doesn't look like it is made in our north." ”

When Qu Wei heard this, she nodded her chin at Lu Jiayue, and said with a smile: "It was Sister Lu who sent the material, and my mother asked the embroidery room to give me a new jacket," she stood up and turned around in front of Mrs. Qu, "Grandmother, is it good?" ”

In fact, Qu Wei has been pampered since she was a child, with fine clothes and jade food, what clothes and materials have you never seen? is showing off like this, just because Mrs. Qu praised a good sentence, and she deliberately wanted to show off her child's temperament.

Qu Wei was happy, and Mrs. Qu naturally liked it, "This girl, since she wears the clothes and materials given by your sister Lu, she is not allowed to eat your sister Lu's vinegar anymore." ”

Qu Wei nodded, and threw herself into Mrs. Qu's arms to be coquettish, "That's natural, I'm just talking and playing, coaxing my grandmother to be happy, and laughing." ”

Everyone was talking and laughing, the second lady Duan with her niece Duan Wenxin, and the third lady Huang with her daughter-in-law Hu and daughter Qu Qian also came in.

Without waiting for Meng's signal, Lu Jiayue had already stepped forward and greeted the Duan and Huang clans in accordance with the etiquette.

Huang is an ordinary woman, cheerful and straightforward, with a round and plump body, but she looks rich, smiles politely, and accepts Lu Jiayue's courtesy.

Duan's was the opposite, describing him as thin, with bare eyebrows and eyes, and he seemed to be arrogant and unapproachable, but he was unexpectedly quite enthusiastic about Lu Jiayue, holding Lu Jiayue's hand with a smile on his face, and sparing no effort to praise Lu Jiayue from head to toe in front of Meng's family.

Regarding Duan's enthusiasm, Lu Jiayue only sneered in her heart.

In her previous life, when she first arrived at the Qu family, Duan's enthusiasm for her was so unusual, she was young, and she was ignorant and naΓ―ve at the time, and she thought that Duan was a kind-hearted woman. But later, seeing that the Duan family married his niece Duan Wenxin to a powerful concubine, and forced Qu Rong to marry someone else, he changed his former kind face, and his attitude towards her was like two people at the beginning.

So she realized that the Duan family was simply a scheming person who would do anything to cling to the powerful.

That was the most difficult time for her in the Qu family.

The person she once trusted became unrecognizable, and the person who swore that she would marry her married someone else.

But fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone in the second room to move out of Qufu and go to live in another garden. Since then, she has never seen Duan, nor has she seen Qu Rong.

The past is like choking in the throat, although now that she has been reincarnated, Lu Jiayue is really too lazy to have a relationship with Duan's family.

So he quietly broke free of Duan's hand, bowed, and sat back beside Mrs. Qu silently.

Duan thought that Lu Jiayue was young, and she would be happy if she praised her a few more words, but who expected that she was full of enthusiasm as she tried her best, but she hit a soft nail, and her heart was suddenly unhappy.

But Lu Jiayue didn't say a word on her lips, and she also kept the rules in terms of etiquette, no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't find a bone in the egg.

Meng and Duan's concubines have been married for many years, so they naturally know Duan's temperament, knowing that she is narrow-minded and small-minded, afraid that she will hold a grudge, so she hurriedly laughed and played a round: "This little girl, she is not sensible, she is spoiled by teaching me, don't care about my younger siblings." ”

Duan smiled and said, "Why do you have to explain, little girl, which one is not Daddy's baby?" Pampered, even if some temper is a common thing, I am an elder, how can I take this little thing to heart. ”

Meng Shi smiled and did not answer again.

The ladies of the Qu family have arrived, and the masters and young masters have also come one after another.

The first to come were the second master Qu Xian and the third young master Qu Zhang's father and son, and then the third master Qu You and the second young master Qu Huai father and son, the fourth master Qu Ning and the fifth young master Qu Hua father and son also came.

The second master Qu Xian is now serving in the military department, and his official rank is not high, because he is from the same mother as the eldest master Qu Hong, and his appearance is somewhat similar, but he is not as majestic as Qu Hong. Qu Zhang is Qu Xian's concubine, twenty years old, and now studies at the Qingfeng Academy in the city.

The third old man, Qu You, is not tall, has a chubby body, and always has a smile on his face, but he is quite husband and wife with the Huang family. As for the second young master Qu Huai, it is as if he was carved out of the same mold as the third young master Qu You, but his stature is slightly higher.

There are four masters of the Qu family, and the fourth master Qu Ning has the most elegant and elegant appearance, and the fifth young master Qu Hua, although he is only eight or nine years old, is also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, smart and cute.

Because Mrs. Qu didn't see the eldest master Qu Hong and the eldest young master Qu Song, she asked him why they hadn't come back yet.

Qu Xian said with a smile: "Mother don't worry, the eldest brother is a holy oracle left in the palace, and Brother Song is waiting outside the palace gate, and he will come back about later." ”
