Chapter 8
Lu Yinghuai came back after leaving for a while, said that the table was ready, and told her and Xue Chen to go over and take a seat.

On the way to the yard, Xue Shu really learned the skills of her second cousin. His mouth was broken like sapphire, and he didn't take a breath when he spoke. It's really shameless to talk about your heroic deeds and talk about yourself as if you were a warrior who went down to earth that day.

Xue Shu knew that her second cousin was very skilled in martial arts, but she didn't expect her to be so eloquent.

Along the way, she could almost hear cocoons in her ears. As soon as she saw Xue Lushi, she felt like seeing a savior. She walked over in three steps and sat down beside Xue Lushi obediently. Quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

This is the seat for the female relatives, the three brothers of the Lu family are not suitable to stay here for a long time, they only told Xue Shu to eat and drink to their heart's content, and then walked away without hesitation.

"Huh..." Xue Shu let out a long breath, and said helplessly, "I have learned how powerful my second cousin is today."

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou also laughed when she heard that, and said boldly: "If you find him annoying, just tell him to shut up, don't be polite to him!"

Under normal circumstances, when Xue Shu heard this, she would definitely reject it again and again, and then say something polite, but this time, Xue Shu pondered for a moment, and then nodded decisively: "In this case, I will not talk to the second cousin." Brother, you are welcome!"

She really didn't want to experience the magic sound filling her ears again.

The banquet started with the laughter of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou.

As soon as the banquet was opened, the music started, and the female envoys in bright clothes busily served food and drinks, occasionally making the sound of porcelain clashing, which was also very pleasant.Everyone picked up their chopsticks one after another, pushing cups and changing cups. The banquet was very lively and full of laughter.

Xue Shu was sitting next to Xue Lushi, eating and eating, Madam Zhenbei Hou pulled Xue Shu to her side, and served her vegetables personally, which made all the noble ladies envy, and the noble ladies They exchanged glances in secret, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

After a meal, they ate lively and lively for half an hour. After the meal, everyone either strolled around in the yard, or sat and chatted with the host's family, they were free to choose.

Xue Shu has never been to the Hou's Mansion a few times in her two lifetimes, and she has heard that the osmanthus flowers in the Hou's Mansion are very well grown, so she naturally wants to get up and walk, so Madam Zhenbei Hou called her three sons, Tell them to go with Xue Shu.

At the end, he added one more sentence, telling Lu Yingyuan to keep his mouth shut, otherwise he would let Zhenbeihou come over in person and tell him to shut up.

Lu Yingyuan tightly covered his mouth on the spot, expressing that he just followed quietly and never opened his mouth.

The back garden of the Hou Mansion is huge, without too many complicated decorations, it is more transparent and bright, making people open-minded.

In this huge backyard, except for a lake formed by the running water from outside the city, there is also a grassland that can't be seen at a glance, and all kinds of osmanthus trees are planted, including golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, and osmanthus. The most expensive species I have ever seen.

Standing on the edge of the grass, Xue Shu finally understood what she had missed all these years.

"This sweet-scented osmanthus forest, isn't it not bad?" Lu Yinghuai said with a smile in his tone, "You don't know, in order to find those rare sweet-scented osmanthus trees, the three of us didn't go home for more than half a year, so we came from each other. I found many rare and well-growth seedlings everywhere.”

Xue Shu sighed and said: "My brother is right, I have really lost money these years."

"What's the matter, just come here often in the future," Lu Yingche said with a smile, "In my opinion, we might as well stay at home for a few days, and we can go together on the day of the palace banquet, so that my friends can meet me." you."

"You cronies, don't bring them in front of Shu'er." Lu Yinghuai said as he led Xue Shu forward, leaving the two younger brothers behind.

Lu Yingyuan and Lu Yingche looked at each other, then turned their heads away in disgust, and followed Xue Shu for a stroll in the yard.

The four of them walked together, attracting the attention of many noble ladies who were wandering and playing in the yard.

Zhenbeihou's mansion is already extremely prestigious, the three sons of the Lu family are all dragons and phoenixes, and Zhenbeihou's wife is bold, if she can marry into such a family, the days to come will be peaceful and beautiful.Not only will he have inexhaustible glory and wealth, but he may even be granted a royal order in the future, which will honor his ancestors.

But the three sons of the Lu family are not easy to get close to. Even the second son who looks easy to get along with is actually hot on the outside and cold on the inside. It is okay to chat and laugh when they meet each other, but it is absolutely impossible to have a deep friendship.

I've never seen the three of them so warm, as if they were really the big brother next door, giving people the illusion that they are very easy to get close to.

There are also quite a few courageous noble ladies who come to join in there, but before they get close, they turn a corner, and the meaning of refusal is obvious, so the noble ladies have no choice but to go back the same way honestly, pretending that there is nothing The way it happened.

After wandering around the yard slowly for an hour, the guests also began to leave one after another. Seeing that Xue Lu had not sent anyone to look for her, Xue Shu knew that she was going to stay for dinner today, and she was not in a hurry Now, continue to enjoy the flowers leisurely.

After walking around the courtyard, Xue Shu went back to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Today there were many distinguished guests in the mansion, in order to prevent collisions, most of the female envoys brought by the guests were waiting outside the mansion, at this moment the guests all dispersed, Qingyu was picked up by the servants of the Hou mansion.

Xue Shu was admiring the flowers in the backyard, but she couldn't find anyone, so she followed Xue Lu all the time.

Seeing that Xue Shu finally came back, Qingyu hurriedly left Xue Lu's side, took two quick steps to support Xue Shu, and ignored the three sons of the Lu family who were still there, and began to whisper: " Girl, why have you been here for so long? After walking so much, be careful when you wake up tomorrow with sore legs—quick, let's go to the back, and this servant has to rub it for you."

Lu Yinghuai frowned, thinking that he was really negligent today.

Even if Xue Shu is happy, he should remind Xue Shu to pay attention to rest.

Fortunately, there is a careful female envoy beside Xue Shu, otherwise, if Xue Shu is really tired, he will blame himself to death.

Xue Shu was half dragged and half dragged to the back of the screen by Qingyu, and Mrs. Zhenbei Hou looked at the little girl's anxious look, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister, the envoy you found for Shu'er is not bad. .”

"I didn't pick this," Xue Lu shook her head with a smile, and said, "Shu'er picked it herself."

"Yo, my Shu'er has such sharp eyesight at such a young age?" Madam Zhenbei raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xue Shu with admiration. We have to start seeing people, and we will have time to see the character of that family."

At that time, Xue Lu's family was not entrusted by others, and married a man who was quite talented but his character was in a mess, and he missed his life. Such a tragedy, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will never allow it to happen again.

Hearing this, Xue Lu also nodded, and said: "I also have the same intention, but... the family may have other plans for Shu'er, if I come forward, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make things happen."

Mrs. Zhenbeihou nodded and said: "Don't be afraid, our Zhenbeihou's mansion will take care of this matter. I think it's an excellent opportunity for the palace banquet in two days. You should pay attention to it when the time comes. Yes, draw up a list for me, and I'll ask someone to look it up."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Xue Lu's thoughts coincided with Mrs. Zhenbeihou's wife, and the two smiled knowingly, each holding a teacup.
