If there is anything that Lu Weimang avoids today, participating in the banquet is definitely one of them.

In Kyoto, the queen mother does not worship in the palace all the year round, but often holds banquets in various names, inviting the ladies and ladies of the noble families, or contacting feelings, or resolving conflicts for the previous dynasty, or the queen mother herself likes to be lively.

This time, the youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Anguo, Lu Weimang followed the queen to watch the ceremony.

"At the beginning of His Majesty's uprising, Duke An Guo went bankrupt to support His Majesty, but the sons and nephews of Duke An Guo's family were all mediocre people, and they did not obtain any important positions of real power in the later court. Therefore, His Majesty and Niangniang often reward and summon An Guogong, firstly, to show that His Majesty does not forget the old people and to comfort the hearts of some old people, and secondly, because An Guogong's family are all honest and honest people, who will not be pampered and arrogant, and act quite decently. ”

Lu Weimang thought about what Huo Jing told him about the situation of An Guogong's family in the court, and he was not so nervous when he followed the queen.

"The old minister brings the old and the young in the family to welcome the mother!"

In front of the Anguo Mansion, the middle gate is wide open, sprinkled with water and quiet streets, The old Duke and the Duchess of Guo led by him did not wear court clothes, but a homely brocade dress, and the people of the An family behind him were also separated from men and women, following the Duke and Mrs. Guo, bowing and saluting. Looking at the number of people, the people are thriving, but the population is simple, there are no warblers, Yanyan, bewitching, and people with flying eyes are all the same upright and solemn expressions.

Lu Weimang glanced at everyone, stepped out of the carriage, and turned around to help the queen mother get out of the carriage. Coincidentally, the queen is also dressed in a colorful phoenix dress, which coincides with the old prince and his wife.

"Hurry up, are you not happy that I came to disturb you and deliberately blocked the door?"

The queen's hearty voice sounded, and the atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed.

Grandpa Guo got up and bowed and saluted the queen, but the Duchess took a few steps forward, walked to the other side of the mother, and Lu Weimang was on the left and right side of the queen, reaching out to help the queen, and the queen was the main guest, holding her arm, "Old woman, don't bother me." Your Majesty and I also had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at your house. ”

The Duchess smiled honestly, and did not tear up with the mother, and the two helped each other to the door of the house.

"But San'er's courtesy, you still took the time to come over in person, so you didn't have to torture these children."

The two talked and went to the house, Lu Weimang couldn't interject at his side, and only honestly supported the queen.

Everyone in the An family, including Guogong, followed behind, lined up one after another.

This is also the first time that Lu Weimang has followed the queen in public, and everyone in the Anguo Mansion behind him didn't know what to think, but as soon as he entered the back house, the lively atmosphere, and the eyes scattered on his body, made Lu Weimang like a man.

One of the queen's hands fell on Lu Weimang's hand, turned around, and sat on the left and right with the Duchess of the country, Lu Weimang stood beside the queen, because the hand that the queen fell on her hand, she felt a lot more at ease.

Lu Weimang looked at the queen, and saw that she was still chatting and laughing with the many guests on the field, as if she had put her hand on Lu Weimang's hand, but it was just a casual act.

This kind of quiet penetration, which is an ability that Lu Weimang cannot envy. She has always admired and admired the queen.

"Okay, don't surround me, today is Laneige's gift of time, don't miss the auspicious time. Madame, let's get started. ”

Lu Weimang didn't know how long this Miss Laneige had been preparing underneath, and at this time, she was helped to go to the top of the Ming Hall, and under the observation of all the ladies and ladies, a gray-haired, energetic, and ruddy Mrs. Shiquan presided over the ceremony, combed her hair, admonished, added clothes, and finally put on a hairpin.

"Licheng!"

An old lady announced in a hearty manner, the solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly ended, and became active, and several of Miss Laneige's good sisters stepped forward, laughing around the newly dressed good sisters, and giving them small gifts they had prepared. The ladies in the hall began to joke with the Duchess and Miss Laneige's mother about Miss Laneige's intention to marry.

"Today is a good day for Miss Laneige, I don't know if there is good news, madam, there is any good news, come to the door with double happiness?"

"That's it, don't hide it, although we are not female Zhuge , but three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang. I can't say, we can still give you a detailed reference! ”

"That is, a woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation, no matter how cautious she is!"

"Laneige is the youngest in the family, and I can't bear to let her go out early, so I want to keep her for a few more years."

"That doesn't prevent you from picking it first, and if there is a suitable one, you can decide it first!"

…

Several young ladies in the middle of the Ming Hall were flushed when they heard this, and seeing that the women were going to dig deeper, what they said became more and more explicit, and the Duchess of Guo hurriedly sent her Lanzhi out with the young ladies.

"The flower hall in the house has been cleaned up today, and you little sisters will go there to relax and relax."

The ladies retired, but Lu Weimang pretended to be stupid, but the queen deliberately glanced at Lu Weimang, and she reluctantly went out.

Obviously, everyone is about to start picking out talents in Beijing, at this time, gossip is indispensable, but I can't listen to it, and I have to socialize with many young ladies, which is really pitiful.

Lu Weimang was depressed, and the queen couldn't cry or laugh, "Zhilan, you take Weimang to the flower hall together, and tell her about your process today, so as to save her time when it's her turn, and be in a hurry." ”

Everyone had long been curious about Lu Weimang, a piercing person, and at this time, Niangniang opened her mouth, and the topic turned to Lu Weimang.

"It turns out that this is Lord Lu, as bright as the moon, with an extraordinary temperament."

The queen heard people praise Lu Weimang, and also glanced at Lu Weimang on her side with a smile, "She has grown up this year, and when she was a year ago, she was still childish." However, that is, she looks good on the outside, she has a mouth, and those who can choke can't get off the stage. Laneige, you take her, don't be like her, she is here with me, and she has always been straightforward. ”

The smile on the queen's face, as well as the words that came out, made everyone secretly speechless, saying that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies, Huo Hou's mother died early, and the queen was like Huo Hou's mother, and now this Lu Weimang didn't know where to do well, so that the queen could be so satisfied.

Everyone in the hall pondered in their hearts, but they were smiling and praising on their faces, and Lu Weimang had no choice but to bow to the mother and the duchess, and then bow again, salute everyone in the hall, and follow the women to the flower hall.

As the name suggests, this flower hall is a large hall with many exotic flowers and plants.

Lu Weimang glanced at the flower hall, found a good position, and after greeting the girls, she got out and went to an inconspicuous flower, looking up and down, looking left and right, if it wasn't suitable for her hands, she would have to touch the soil in this flower pot.

This is the method summed up by Lu Weimang, a social fear, to avoid many occasions, and he has tried all kinds of things.

If you're in a crowd and you have nothing to do, you're likely to be picked up by others. If you're in a crowd and you're looking around, you're likely to make eye contact with someone else, and you'll either be forced to greet someone or smile awkwardly and avoid your gaze.

Like Lu Weimang, when he shows great interest in something, the people next to him usually don't come over to disturb him.

But Lu Weimang obviously made a mistake. If she is an inconspicuous little person, this method is not bad, but she came with the queen, or Huo Hou's fiancée, and it is inevitable that she will be mentioned on the sensitive occasion of the ceremony. Whoever asks the woman to marry will start talking about marriage, and among the people present, one is counted as one, whose husband can compare to Huo Hou?

"Miss Lu originally liked this iron chopsticks flower, which is strange. This flower is native to northern Xinjiang, and people in Beijing don't know much. By the way, Miss Lu must have heard Huo Hou mention it, so she was interested in this flower. Sure enough, Miss Lu and Huo Hou are husband and wife, and they are a natural pair. ”

Miss Laneige had a sense of ownership, and noticed Lu Weimang, who was lonely, so she came forward to talk to Lu Weimang.

How did Lu Weimang know that the flowers he chose at random were rare in Kyoto, and they were restored to northern Xinjiang?

"Really?" Lu Weimang smiled, "I don't have much research on flowers, I just see that they don't bloom, and compared with the flowers next to them, they are inconspicuous, so I took a few more looks." ”

Miss Laneige is a gentle and amiable person, and immediately smiled slightly, pointing to a freshly sprouted rice grain under the flowers and leaves, "This flower blooms late, and it usually blooms around the New Year's Festival." That is, this flower hall is warm, so a bud appeared early. ”

Lu Weimang leaned over to look at the bud that Miss Laneige was pointing at and nodded, "I see." Presumably, Miss Laneige loves these flowers and plants very much on weekdays, so that she can be so treasured. Unlike me, I don't have any hobbies on weekdays, and my life is very monotonous. ”

Lu Weimang has always believed that people who have a hobby that they love from the bottom of their hearts and are willing to dedicate their time to it are very admirable. Because of herself, she doesn't have that kind of patience.

Miss Lanzhi listened to Lu Weimang's words, pursed her lips and smiled, and before she opened her mouth, a voice next to her interjected, "Miss Lu said and laughed, our boudoir daughter, life is boring and tight, so I found some hobbies to pass the time." Where is Miss Lu, you can follow Huo Hou to run errands, the world is big, you can go anywhere. Of course, I don't like the gadgets we play with. ”

Lu Weimang sighed in his heart.

People who don't fit in with the group are just inconspicuous, and others can't remember or notice. But like Lu Weimang, who is unsociable, taciturn, and looks like a "maverick", it is easy to arouse the hostility and attack of others.

Miss Lanzhi hurriedly grabbed the yin and yang weird person, "Third sister, it's rare for Miss Lu to come forward with the queen and appear in the inner house, don't scare people." ”

looked at Lu Weimang again, "Miss Lu, my third sister has always been straightforward and fast-talking, not sincere to you." Don't be like her. ”

Lu Weimang didn't say anything, but the third young lady didn't do it, "I just came here on purpose to ask Miss Lu about something." ”
