The huge Luo Mansion began to enter a festive and busy day, and everyone in the house began to prepare for the great joy of Luo Ming and Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, the news that Luo Wenqian was the lost eldest son of the King of Jin and the former princess quickly spread in the city.

Luo Wenqian himself heard the rumors, and when he was on duty, many officials in the government looked at him differently, and even directly mocked.

"There are some people who don't do what they do in their positions, and they use their crooked brains."

"Well, don't jump to conclusions. Lord Luo, are you really the son of His Royal Highness King Jin? ”

"How is it possible, this kind of thing doesn't come true with words, it has to rely on evidence, you just didn't know, almost every year over the years, someone has pretended to be the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Jin." It was the old scribe in the government who spoke.

The old scribe's position is not high, but he is also an iron rice bowl, his work is easy, and he is a related household of the political secretary and the yamen, so he always relies on his age to sell the old, but he doesn't dare to go too far, after all, they are all officials who are older than him, and it is not a trivial matter to echo it a little, anyway, it is not a topic he mentioned.

Luo Wenqian didn't explain to these inconsequential people, because what he said was in vain, whether he was the party or the one who took advantage of the other party's eyes, no matter how much he said, it was a quibble.

"Lord Luo, Governor He, please go."

When Luo Wenqian heard this, he got up and went to the house where He Zhifu worked.

"Lord He." Luo Wenqian bowed his hand and sat down opposite him under the gesture of He Zhifu.

He Zhifu personally poured tea for Luo Wenqian, and then explained the situation straight to the point, "You should have heard the rumors about you in the government recently, and many people said that it was the rumors you released. ”

"Xia Guan didn't do such a thing." Luo Wenqian was a little helpless, "I don't know why it suddenly spread everywhere, and the officials will deal with this matter." ”

He Zhifu nodded, seeing that Luo Wenqian didn't want to say much, and there was no joy or worry on his face, he was a little uncertain, but he was a little suspicious in his heart, and it was groundless, and this news was true.

"That's good, you don't have to take it to heart what others say." He Zhifu relieved a few words and let people go.

In this Luo Mansion, Chen Xiuyan heard the reply of the subordinates, and learned that Mrs. He and Mrs. Wu were coming, so they went directly to the Hanging Flower Gate to greet each other.

"Oops, your belly is a lot bigger." Mrs. Wu could see her belly when she saw Chen Xiuyan wearing a cloak, so she stepped forward with a smile and grabbed her arm directly.

"I just made fried sugar cake today, so I'll taste it later." Chen Xiuyan invited people to her courtyard and entered the hall with charcoal pots, and the maid came in directly with a tray and served tea and pastries.

"Why do I think you're familiar with this girl?" After the maid went out, Mrs. Wu picked up a piece of fried sugar cake and took a bite, and the flowing sesame filling overflowed directly.

"Hmm-" Mrs. Wu hurriedly sucked it with her mouth, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the piece in her hand was lowered, "It's the first time I've eaten fried sugar cake with sesame filling, which is much more delicious than simple white sugar and brown sugar." ”

"Ahem." Mrs. He cleared her throat and glanced at Mrs. Wu, "You're not here to eat, let's get down to business." ”

"Since you care so much, ask directly." Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes.

"You didn't attend any banquets with a big belly, and you probably didn't hear the wind outside." As soon as Mrs. Wu said it, Mrs. He also spoke directly.

"What's the wind?" Chen Xiuyan really doesn't know.

"Lord Luo is the lost eldest prince of the Jin Palace?" Mrs. Wu said.

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows slightly, it turned out that this was the case, it wouldn't be that King Jin was ecstatic and showing off outside.

Chen Xiuyan's calm and calm expression made Mrs. He and Mrs. Wu pause in their hearts.

"Wow, that can't be true, can it?" Mrs. Wu exaggerated with her mouth wide open.

"Well, I can't tell." Chen Xiuyan sold a pass, "Whether this matter is true or fake, where is it clarified by our family, how can you come forward from the Jin Palace, you two are in the wrong place, you should go to the Jin Palace." ”

"Xiuyan, how can we also have a fateful friendship, we can't give a word of affirmation." Mrs. Wu leaned in and asked.

"Anyway, my eldest nephew's marriage will be held in a few days, and you will naturally know when you come, wait a few days." Chen Xiuyan took the fried sugar cake and ate it, and after eating a piece, she took another piece, and when she wanted to take it again, Mama Mu reminded her.

"Madame, your portion of pastry has arrived today, and you can't eat it anymore."

Chen Xiuyan reluctantly withdrew her hand, with a hint of grief in her eyes, she was not free.

On the eighth day of the second month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the heavens are beautiful, the gate of Luo's Mansion is open, the courtyard is lit up with lights, the red silk is festive, the people in the whole house are busy, and the busiest is the people who serve in the kitchen and the flower hall.

Chen Xiuyan held up her seven-month-old belly and checked all the preparations at home early, although busy but orderly.

Luo Wenjin and Luo Wense both have tasks today, Luo Wenjin is in charge of the kitchen, and the meals and drinks for the wedding banquet are very important; Luo Wense is in charge of the affairs in the flower hall, the place of worship and the seats of the guests, as well as the tables and chairs for the wedding banquet.

Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan were responsible for welcoming guests as the hosts, and the first to come was the Jin Wang's family.

"You put the news out?" Luo Wenqian looked at King Jin and said helplessly.

"What news, is the truth." King Jin was dissatisfied, "Why, my own son has been found, and I can't share the joy with others." ”

"Whatever you like." After Luo Wenqian finished speaking, His Royal Highness the King of Jin pulled Xi Muqin and left happily, he is the prince, the shelf still has to be set up, and it is better to let Luo Wenqian and Chu Yu do it to entertain the guests.

Luo Wenqian's good officials are not of very high grade, most of them are colleagues in the government office, but because of Chen Jin'an's influence, almost all the officials in the Yamen of the Capital Division were present, and the other two Yamen had dealings with Chen Jin'an;

Or there are a lot of officials who have a good relationship with the Jin Palace, and after Mrs. He and Mrs. Wu went back that day, many officials waited for this day to see the facts with their own eyes, so Chen Xiuyan arranged twenty tables for the wedding banquet of Luo's Mansion today.

Luo Mingxin, Luo Mingchu and Luo Mingnian, as little masters, are responsible for entertaining the children of officials of the same age, and this is the first time that the three of them have done such work.

Luo Mingxin has been studying in the Women's Academy for more than half a year, and has made a lot of good friends, and most of them are classmates he knows, so it is easy to get along.

Luo Mingchu and Luo Mingnian are from Songshan Academy, they usually study hard and seriously, and they are mostly peers in communication, and Songshan Academy is oriented to a wide range of age groups, so the two of them don't know each other very well, but fortunately, King Anjun is helping on the side.
