Chapter 9, the inner family welcomes autumn

Seeing the faces of those people, she felt a tingling of various emotions such as surprise or surprise, curiosity, envy or jealousy, and for a moment, she felt her scalp tingle.

There seemed to be something strange in the air, and the rather joyful atmosphere just now became dull in an instant because of Lu Zhaoyi's arrival, and now she has become the target of everyone.

But she's not afraid!

I saw her saluting calmly and calmly towards everyone, "Junior, Lu Zhaoyi, I have seen all the ladies and ladies."

After speaking, he didn't forget to bow to those people to show respect, and those dark eyes flashed with resolute light, especially staring at the seat on the left side of Mrs. Yin.

When everyone saw this, they were all slightly stunned, but they didn't expect that this little lady of the Lu family would be so bold that she dared to look directly at Mrs. Zhu, and even saluted.

"Okay, it's worthy of being a "pretty girl from Hebei", it's really so smart, I don't know, I can really recognize you as a young girl, right?" Mrs. Zhu changed her previous domineering attitude and said with a smile.

"Mrs. Xie's compliment!" Lu Zhaoyi sighed secretly in her heart, in the words just now, she was clearly talking about her age, and she was still acting as a teenage girl.

To say that above this party, the youngest lady is Mrs. Qian, the imperial physician, who is eighteen years old, three years younger than Lu Zhaoyi!

However, she did not get angry and immediately retorted.

As she walked over, she replied thoughtfully: "Mrs. Zhu is worthy of being a hero of a generation of women in the world, and in her prime, she galloped on the battlefield with her husband, and there are indeed few people who can do it."

These words are indeed praising Mrs. Zhu's merits, and they are also saying that Mrs. Zhu is good at riding horses and fighting, and she lacks the weakness of a woman, which makes people feel a little ironic.

The expression on Mrs. Zhu's face stiffened slightly, but she didn't expect this Lu Niangzi to be so sharp-tongued.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so solemn, Mrs. Yin hurriedly diverted her words, cleared her throat and smiled, "Everyone, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, be happy, Little Lady Lu, you also come over to get acquainted with your ladies......

Lu Zhaoyi bowed slightly when he heard this, and joined the workmanship process with Mrs. Zhao beside him, ignoring Mrs. Zhu's restless emotions at this time, as well as various other eyes.

The two walked straight to the group of women who were in charge of picking osmanthus flowers, and there were just two empty seats and two pairs of picking tools.

While they greeted several ladies and ladies beside them, the two of them lowered their heads and whispered to each other.

"Sister Lu, you fought back beautifully just now, look at her face, I want to laugh when I think of being angry with you......

Mrs. Zhao smiled secretly, smiling, not to mention how happy.

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and then chuckled, "Mrs. Zhu, after all, she was also a female general of a country, and now she is also Mrs. Sikong of Dayuan, so it is inevitable to come into contact in the future, so it is better to be kind......

"Just her? Hmph!" Mrs. Zhao couldn't be angry, "You are kind, do you see if she is so kind......

Listening to her tone, it seems that there is some inside information in this.

However, Lu Zhaoyi didn't think too much about it, and continued the work at hand.

And after talking with several ladies around her, it just so happened that the youngest lady sitting next to her was the bride of the imperial physician Ling Lin Xingzhi, Qian Wanyu.

After a round of picking, when the maidservants of the Taiwei Mansion were serving tea and resting for them, Qian Wanyu, who had been sitting next to the two of them, had an extremely nervous expression, like a little lady who had made a mistake, interrupting the conversation between Lu Zhaoyi and Mrs. Zhao.

"Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhao, I've only heard you say it for a long time, and I don't know very well, what is this gathering going to do?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhaoyi and Mrs. Zhao, who had been ignoring her existence, glanced at her, and then looked at her carefully.

At this moment, when they turned their heads, they saw that Qian Wanyu's eyes were red, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were shining in the moonlight, which looked extremely pitiful.

This made Mrs. Zhao feel a little pity and asked, "You are the bride of the Imperial Doctor Ling family, right?" I remember that you have only been married for five months, and Doctor Lin has allowed you to go out?"

Lu Zhaoyi also noticed it, looking at her gesture of picking osmanthus flowers, as well as her hands

came to a conclusion, with a smile in her eyes, "Mrs. Qian is also studying medicine, right?"

Hearing this, she was stunned, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on her originally panicked face, "Yes, Sister Lu. I have often heard my husband mention you and say that you were in Huainan...... Lu also thought that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely ask Sister Lu for medical skills......

Lu Zhaoyi was noncommittal, but thought of something, and smiled shallowly, "Mrs. Qian is from Yuzhou? Qian Gong, a medical master in Yuzhou, who are you?"

Looking at her face, she suddenly showed surprise, but then admiration, and overjoy, which made Lu Zhaoyi have the answer in her heart, she should have guessed correctly.

"Sister Lu, you're too powerful. My eldest father is Dr. Qian from the capital...... It's not like it's everyone......."

After the conversation, it was learned that Lin Xingzhi had inadvertently met Qian Gong in Qian Du since the Huainan disease a year ago, and since then the two parents have talked about marriage, so that Qian Gong's youngest granddaughter and Lin Xingzhi have become married.

After the tea break, it is about to come to an end, and after that, it is time to brew the picked osmanthus flowers.

While busy, Mrs. Zhao also casually talked to Qian Wanyu and Lu Zhaoyi about the importance of this osmanthus wine.

According to the practice of the Central Plains, the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is to pray to the moon god for a good harvest this year. Because as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it is time to enter the harvest season, and the crops that have been planted for a year must be harvested after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, on the occasion of the festival, the wives of various provinces gather together to pick the osmanthus flowers and prepare to pray to the moon god on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival to bless this year's harvest.

And this time is also the most suitable time to pick osmanthus to make wine.

After this morning, with the familiarity between the ladies and ladies, Lu Zhaoyi found that there are also factions among the ladies and daughters in Beijing, almost the same as their husbands or fathers in the court.

Especially Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Zhao, the relationship between them was established long before Xia Pei became emperor.

In this way, Lu Zhaoyi thought that perhaps, Qiu Quzi and the fifth Langya had been in contact with each other in private, and this relationship was extraordinary.

At lunchtime, the maid of the house came to report that Princess Liang had arrived.

"What a good time for the princess!" Mrs. Zhu said in a weird manner.

When the ladies of the clan heard her say this, they were immediately unhappy, but they didn't say anything, they just looked at her, but they couldn't do anything about her.

When Su Xiuniang appeared in everyone's sight in a luxurious dress, her appearance was very different from last night, and she was more solemn and majestic.

Everyone involuntarily stood up and saluted respectfully.

"See Princess Liang!"

"Excuse me!" She waved her sleeves and said lightly. Immediately, he found Lu Zhaoyi's position very sharply, and ran towards her with a smile.

"But when the princess heard that you were here, she agreed to come, but fortunately what they said was true, otherwise, this kind of party would be too boring."

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, her expression instantly froze, and her face was darker than anyone else.

And Mrs. Yin smiled, consciously or unintentionally looked at Mrs. Zhu beside her, and said, "It's really boring, and I don't know who started this......

Her voice was very soft, but everyone present heard it, and for a while, everyone looked at Mrs. Zhu's eyes, full of mockery.

Mrs. Zhu's face turned red, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi hurriedly smiled and played a round: "Actually, it's not boring, maybe Mrs. Zhu was a temporary idea, but it can also deepen the connection between the families in Beijing, not to mention that your ladies rarely go out on weekdays, so it's good to take advantage of the festival!"

When everyone heard this, they had this reason.

Lady Chu, who had always been silent, walked up to everyone in a rare way and said, "When a group of people who don't usually see each other get together, there's really nothing to talk about. Mrs. Lu has a heart, if you can ascend to the back seat in the future and set an example for everyone, it would be great......

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and there was a little embarrassment in the air.

After Su Xiuniang was stunned for a short time, she first ran to Mrs. Chu and said with a smile: "What Aunt Cousin said is very ......

As she spoke, she secretly signaled to Lu Zhaoyi again, and made a slight sound, "Quick, quick, I've met my aunt......

Lu Zhaoyi reacted and was about to go up to salute, but Mrs. Chu interrupted and said indifferently, "No need! When you get the seal of the Xia family's name spy register, it's not too late to call me Aunt Cousin." With that, she beckoned to the maidservants beside her, and left the courtyard first, heading towards the dining hall.

Mrs. Yin also came back to her senses, and at everyone, she motioned to everyone to put down her work for the time being and go to the dining hall for lunch together.

Lu Zhaoyi set off with Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Qian and Su Xiuniang, and met a middle-aged woman who thought she was wearing a purple palace dress, graceful and luxurious.

She smiled and greeted Lu Zhaoyi, "Little lady Lu, don't mind, Chu has always been like this."

At this time, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly introduced, "This is Mrs. Han from General Wei's Mansion...... You should be called ...... in the future."

Before she finished speaking, Su Xiuniang gave an answer, and shouted with a well-behaved appearance, "Aunt Cousin......". z.br>

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi was a little amazed in his heart from time to time, this Xia clan is really prosperous, and the cousins who fight with Wu Gong are really not ordinary.

"Little lady Lu, you don't have to call it like this...... Mrs. Han's eyes flickered a little, and her face was extremely kind, "According to what the Chu clan said, when you are officially canonized, it will not be too late to call your aunt."

Lu Zhaoyi smiled awkwardly and said three "good" words in succession.

"Hello Mrs. Han." Qian Wanyu and her were also slightly blessed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Han smiled even brighter.

When they entered the dining hall with the ladies and ladies, Mrs. Yin sat in the first seat, and at the same time motioned for Su Xiuniang to sit on the upper seat, and under Su Xiuniang's insistent request, Lu Zhaoyi was also arranged to her side.

"Hmph...... This girl has taken up the limelight!"

They didn't notice that Mrs. Zhu looked like she had eaten a fly at this time, and she secretly complained in her heart, and turned her head to chat with the woman next to her, as if she was planning.

This action also made Lu Zhaoyi aware of something, so he asked Su Xiuniang beside him who the lady next to Mrs. Zhu was.

And she learned that this person was Situ Lulin's wife, and she was not calm anymore.

If the relationship between the inner family members is reflected in the court, then Xu is a representative, and there is also some kind of relationship between Sikong and Situ among the three princes?

Perhaps, Lu Lin and Wu Chong have long colluded!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoyi's heart is big, if this is the case, then her trip today is not in vain!

A flat has not passed, and a flat has risen again.

When Mrs. Yin was about to pass the meal, the maid outside came to report: Mrs. Cui Jiayan brought the second mother of the Cui family into the house.

Lu Zhaoyi trembled, raised his eyes, and stared directly at the door.

Is it Cui Qinglei? Or Cui Qingshuang?

A pair of twin daughters with extremely similar appearances, it is difficult for a clear-eyed person to distinguish them.

But when she was in Guanzhong, she saw through Cui Sanniang, who pretended to be Cui Erniang, I don't know which of the twins came this time?

She seemed to be looking forward to it.
