Chapter 131 and the ceremony
If there is anything that Lu Weimang can't avoid up to now, participating in banquet activities is definitely one of them.

In the capital, the empress did not wait for people to worship in the palace all the year round, but would hold banquets in various names from time to time, inviting the wives and ladies of the noble families, either to connect with each other, or to resolve conflicts for the previous dynasty, or to Or the empress herself just likes to be lively.

This time, Lu Weimang, the youngest granddaughter of Duke Anguo's family and Jiji, followed the queen to watch the ceremony.

"At the beginning of His Majesty's uprising, An Guogong supported His Majesty with all his family and property, but An Guogong's nephews and nephews were all mediocre people, and they did not obtain any important positions of real power in the later court. Therefore, His Majesty and Empress often rewarded His Majesty. He summoned An Guogong, first to show that His Majesty does not forget the old people, to comfort some old people, and second, because An Guogong's family are kind and honest people, they will not be arrogant because of favor, and behave 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 and the young and old in the family welcome the empress!"

In front of the gate of Duke An’s mansion, the middle door was wide open, and the street was sprinkled with water. The old Duke and Mrs. Guo’s wife were not wearing court clothes, but homely brocade clothes. On both sides of his wife and his wife, they bowed and saluted.Judging by the number of people, the population is prosperous, but the population is simple, there is no such thing as Yingying, Yanyan, enchanting, and wandering eyes. They all have the same dignified and solemn expressions.

Lu Weimang glanced at everyone, got off the carriage, turned around and helped the empress to get off the carriage.Coincidentally, the queen is also dressed in a colorful phoenix uniform, which coincides with the old Duke and his wife.

"Get up quickly, you don't want me to bother you, and you blocked the door on purpose?"

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

The Duke stood up and bowed to salute the queen, but the wife of the Duke took a few steps forward and walked to the other side of the empress. She and Lu Weimang were on the left and right of the queen respectively, and stretched out their hands to support the queen. The queen turned away from her. Holding his arm, "Old aunt, don't bully me. Your Majesty and I also had New Year's Eve dinner at your house."

The Duke's wife smiled honestly, and did not tear up with the empress, the two supported each other and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

"However, for San'er's birthday ceremony, you still take the time to come here in person, so you don't have to disturb these children."

The two talked about the old days and went to the mansion, Lu Weimang followed beside him and couldn't talk, but honestly supported the empress.

Everyone in the An family, including the Duke, followed behind and lined up one by one.

This is also the first time that Lu Weimang has followed the queen upright in a public place. The people in Anguo Gong's mansion behind him don't know what to think, but once they enter the back house, the lively atmosphere and the eyes scattered on him make people feel uncomfortable. Lu Wei glowed like a light on his back.

The queen's hand fell on Lu Weimang's empty hand, turned around, and sat on the left and right with the Duke's wife, and Lu Weimang was standing beside the queen, because the queen's hand on her hand felt at ease Not a lot.

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

This kind of quiet piercing ability is something that Lu Weimang can't envy.She had always admired and admired the Queen.

"Okay, don't surround me anymore, today is Lanzhi's birthday ceremony, don't miss the auspicious time. Madame, let's start."

Lu Weimang didn't know how long this Miss Lanzhi had been preparing underneath, but at this moment, she was helped to go up to the Ming Hall, under the watchful eyes of all the wives, a gray-haired, energetic, and rosy-faced Shiquan The wife presides over the hairpin ceremony, combs the hair, admonishes, adds clothes, and finally the hairpin.

"Licheng!"

An old nanny announced in a spirited manner, the solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly ended and became lively. A few good sisters of Ms. Lanzhi stepped forward, chatted and laughed around the newly dressed good sisters, and gave small gifts prepared by themselves .The women in the hall began to tease Miss Lanzhi's intention of marriage with Mrs. Guogong and Miss Lanzhi's mother in the hall.

"Today is a good day for Miss Lanzhi. I don't know if there is any good news for Madam. Double happiness?"

"That's right, don't hide it. Although we are not female Zhuge, the three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang. Maybe we can give you more details!"

"That's right, when a woman gets married, it's like reincarnating for the second time, so you can't be too cautious!"

"Lanzhi is the youngest in the family, I don't want her to go out early, I want to keep her for a few more years."

"That doesn't prevent you from choosing first, if you have a suitable one, decide first!"

...

The ladies in the middle of the Ming Hall blushed when they heard this, seeing that the women were about to dig deeper, and their words became more explicit, the Duke's wife hurriedly sent her Lanzhi and the ladies out.

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

The ladies resigned, but Lu Weimang pretended to be stupid. It was the queen who gave Lu Weimang a special look that made her reluctantly go out.

It was obvious that everyone was about to start to pick and choose talents in Beijing. At this time, gossip was indispensable, but I couldn't listen to it, and I had to socialize with many ladies. It was really pitiful.

Lu Weimang was depressed, and the empress couldn't laugh or cry, "Zhilan, take Weimang to the flower hall together, and tell her about your procedures for today, so that you won't be in a hurry when it's her turn."

Everyone had long been curious about Lu Weimang, an eye-catching person. At this moment, the empress spoke, and the topic turned to Lu Weimang.

"So this is Mr. Lu, as bright as the moon, with extraordinary temperament."

The queen heard people praise Lu Weimang, and looked at Lu Weimang beside her with a smile, "She just grew up this year, and she was still childish a year ago. But, she just looks good, When she opens her mouth, those who can choke will not get off the stage. Lanzhi, you take her with you, don't be as knowledgeable as her, she has always been straightforward with me."

The smile on the queen's face and the words she said made everyone secretly dumbfounded. They all said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Huo Hou's mother died young, and the queen is just like Huo Hou's mother. Now Lu Weimang doesn't know what to do Well done, to make the queen so satisfied.

The people in the hall thought about it, but they praised it with smiles on their faces, so Lu Weimang had no choice but to salute to the empress and the Duke's wife, and then bowed in groups, bowed to everyone in the hall, and followed the girls 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, and found a good place. After greeting all the girls, he got away and went to an inconspicuous flower. He looked up, down, left, and right. Let's touch the soil in this flowerpot.

This is the method Lu Weimang summed up to avoid crowded places, which has been tried and tested.

If you are in the crowd and you have nothing to do, you may be targeted by others.If you are in a crowd, and your eyes are aimless, looking around, you may also meet the eyes of others, or be forced to greet them, or smile awkwardly and avoid sight.

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

But Lu Weimang obviously made a wrong idea.If she was an inconspicuous little person, this method would be good, but she happened to come with the queen, and she was also Huo Hou's fiancée, so it was inevitable that she would be brought up on such a sensitive occasion as Ji Ji's ceremony.Whoever makes the woman reach the age of Ji will start talking about marriage, and the people present count as one, whose husband can compare with Huo Hou?

"It's strange that Ms. Lu likes the iron chopsticks flower. This flower is originally from northern Xinjiang, and people in Beijing don't know much about it. By the way, Ms. Lu must have heard Huo Hou mention it, so she is interested in this flower." Interesting. Sure enough, Miss Lu and Huo Hou are a husband and wife, a natural couple."

Miss Lanzhi has a sense of ownership, and noticed Lu Weimang who was alone, 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 originally produced in northern Xinjiang?
"Really?" Lu Weimang chuckled, "I don't have any research on flowers, I just see that it hasn't bloomed. Compared with the flowers next to it, it's plain and inconspicuous, so I took a few more glances."

Miss Lanzhi is a gentle and amiable person, she smiled slightly at the moment, and pointed to a newly germinated rice grain under the flower leaves, "This flower blooms late, usually around the New Year's Day. That is, the flower hall is warm. , That's why a flower bud emerged early."

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

Lu Weimang has always believed that a person who has a hobby that he loves from the heart and is willing to devote time to it is very admirable.Because she herself doesn't have that kind of patience.

After listening to Lu Weimang's words, Miss Lanzhi pursed her lips into a smile, but before she could open her mouth, a voice from the side interrupted, "Miss Lu was joking, our boudoir daughter lives a very boring life, so I found some hobbies to pass the time. How can it compare to Miss Lu, who can do business with Huo Hou, the world is so big, he can go anywhere. Of course, we don't like the little things we play. "

Lu Weimang sighed inwardly.

People who don't fit in are just inconspicuous, and others can't remember or notice them.But like Lu Weimang, who is out of gregarious and taciturn, with a "maverick" appearance, it is easy to arouse hostility and attacks from others.

Miss Lanzhi hurriedly grabbed the eccentric person, "Third sister, it's rare for Miss Lu to show up with the queen, and she shows up in the inner house. Don't scare her."

Looking at Lu Weimang again, "Miss Lu, my third sister has always been outspoken, and she didn't mean to target you sincerely. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Before Lu Weimang said anything, the third lady quit, "I just came here on purpose to ask Miss Lu something."
