Chapter 202 Visiting (2)
After seeing her future brother-in-law clearly, Lu Mingxuan couldn't stay any longer, so she hurried back to the inner courtyard, and it was time for the banquet.

After arranging for everyone to sit at the table, Lu Mingxuan thought that it would be boring for Lu Mingfu to eat alone in the house, so after returning to Qi's, she asked someone to prepare a few other light and refreshing side dishes and send them to Lu Mingfu's house and eat with her.

While eating, he briefly told Lu Mingfu about Yan Shijiulang's appearance, and finally said with a soft laugh: "In the future, my brother-in-law and my sister will be called men and women, and they are a match made in heaven. Now, my sister can finally feel at ease? I am my sister." For making such a great contribution, my sister should be rewarded heavily!"

Lu Mingfu didn't expect that Lu Mingxuan had even considered this for her. She was grateful and shy at the same time, and after a while she whispered: "Then what do you want? At most, I will also secretly meet your future brother-in-law in the future."

Lu Mingxuan put on a look of "losing a fortune": "I knew that I would risk being scolded by my father if I found out, to help my sister see what her future brother-in-law will look like, but no rewards are given." If I didn’t get it, I should not go, or if I went to see it and didn’t tell my sister, it’s too late to regret it now! Or should I tell daddy at night, saying that my sister asked me to go to see it?”

Lu Mingfu was so angry that she couldn't laugh, pinched her white and tender cheeks and said: "You just tell Daddy, see if I admit it or not." After a pause, she whispered: "How about taking my Right, the Eight Treasures Jade Phoenix Butterfly Hairpin for you?"

"It's more or less the same." Lu Mingxuan's expression turned from anger to joy, but she didn't know how happy she was for Lu Mingfu in her heart. Just as happy.

Thinking of Ling Mengqi, one can't help thinking that he has been in the palace for more than a month. According to what he said at the time, he was only seconded to Jinwuwei for a month. Now he should return to Jinyiwei. I don't know if Concubine Luo is willing or not. Let people go?It seems that I should let Danqing inquire about it in the next few days.

After dinner, and after a short rest, a little maid came back and forth to Lu Mingxuan and said that she was seeing off the guests, so Lu Mingxuan hurriedly followed the little maid to the front.

First, send the new aunt and the matchmaker. The return gift was prepared early in the morning. There were several big bags of Wenggu and the bridegroom’s shoes, socks and robes, and several loads of tea, fruit and snacks. They were very rich and thoughtful. Nothing happened, but the face of the matchmaker of the Yan family was full of smiles.

After discussing with each other, the two parties set the date of marriage in two years' time, which is after Lu Mingfu and Ji. As for the specific date, it will not be too late to choose at that time. Anyway, Yan Jiulang will also prepare for next year's autumn. If I can go to high school by then, it will be double happiness.

Then came the relatives and friends who brought congratulations, Lu Mingfu's uncle and aunt also came, seeing how decent and generous Lu Mingfu's husband's family is, and the son-in-law is also a good-looking talent, I heard that he is still a scholar with a bright future, Seeing that Lu Mingfu and the Qi family got along well, and Lu Zhongxian didn't treat his daughter poorly just because he had a son, they all went back happily with a generous gift specially prepared by the Qi family.

Lu Mingxuan and the Qi family worked together for an entire hour before sending away all the guests with gifts in return.

Back in the living room, they asked the servant girl to serve tea and were eating when Lu Zhongxian came in, followed by a person that Lu Mingxuan never expected, Ling Mengqi.

Lu Mingxuan almost spit out the tea in her mouth, and there was only one thought in her mind, how could Ling Mengqi suddenly appear at her house, looking very familiar and intimate with Lu Zhongxian?

It's no wonder that Lu Mingxuan was surprised. Lu Zhongxian did treat Ling Mengqi very affectionately. Once he came in and introduced Ling Mengqi's identity to Mrs. Qi, he greeted him to sit down, served tea and snacks, and even asked him to have dinner. You must know that this is the Lu family's inner house, and outsiders can't easily enter it. Even if Lu Zhongxian is informal, he can't just bring him in to meet his wife and daughter?
Looking at Ling Mengqi again, he is also uncharacteristically, wearing a moon-white hang silk straight gown, waist purse, jade pendant, fan cover and other configurations that a nobleman should have, all complete, his hair is also meticulously taken care of, the whole person is handsome and elegant. With a neat vigor, it is exactly the way the elders like the younger generation to dress up.

That's all, the key point is that he has gone against his usual habit of not talking too much and not laughing in front of people. He called "Uncle Xian" and "Uncle Xian" every time he called Lu Zhongxian, and he flattered Lu Zhongxian without any trace when he spoke. Zhongxian flattered Lu Zhongxian even more in a few words, and ordered Qi, who had been stunned by Ling Mengqi for a long time, to get someone to prepare a table, and even asked someone to pick up the good wine that he had treasured for more than ten years Come, say that you want to 'get drunk before resting' with Ling Mengqi.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help wondering, what kind of medicine was sold in Brother Ling's gourd?But when Nahan returned to Nahan, she could vaguely guess Ling Mengqi's intentions in her heart, but she refused to think deeply about it.

Seeing that Lu Zhongxian and Ling Mengqi chatted more and more speculatively, and there was a posture of seeing each other and hating the lateness, Lu Mingxuan endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't hold back and asked Lu Zhongxian while the two were talking: "Father, Ling Da... Ling Why did elder brother come to our house? He is not working in the palace now, so how can he leave the palace conveniently?" The last sentence was obviously asking Ling Mengqi.

When Lu Zhongxian saw the question and was about to answer, Ling Mengqi laughed first and said, "I have handed in the Jinwu Guard's errand a few days ago, and returned to the Jinyi Guard to work as an errand again. I am taking a rest today. I came here to meet a friend, but Qiaoer Passing by the door of Uncle Xian’s house, seeing the lanterns and festoons, I asked if it was the day when the Yan family came to hire, so I simply came in to ask for a wedding wine.”

Hearing that he had already handed over the Jinwuwei's errand, and now he returned to Jinyiwei, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and saw Lu Zhongxian smiled and said: "It's really embarrassing for Brother Qi, I said that I came to ask for wedding wine and dinner, seeing that I am too busy Come, I took the initiative to greet the guests for me, and I was busy with other things, and I didn't even bother to eat lunch. I thought that you are common in the Duke's Mansion on weekdays, and you are not considered outsiders, so Keep him for supper."

So soon her father will not treat him as an outsider, Lu Mingxuan has no choice but to admire Ling Mengqi's ability, because she got up and said: "Daddy is chatting with Brother Ling Shi, I will go back to the room to see my sister and younger brother." She bowed her knees and saluted , then went out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the yard, a familiar voice came from behind: "Sister Xuan stay."

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly turned around, and whispered nervously: "Why did you come out, aren't you afraid that my father will suspect what we have in private?" She still called her 'Sister Xuan', but her older sister was 'Miss Fu' ', isn't this clearly telling others that the two of them have an unusual relationship?

Ling Mengqi said in his heart that he was afraid that your father would not doubt what we had, and while not showing any traces, he looked at her almost greedily. He saw that she was wearing a begonia red bottom embroidered with plum, orchid and bamboo. I think it's because of a happy event at home today. She wore a ponytail, pearl headbands, and a pair of ruby ​​lantern pendants on her ears. Her waist looks like willows, her face looks like fresh snow, and she is three points more beautiful than usual, especially A pair of eyes shone brightly like jewels, making her whole body like a blooming flower brimming with vitality. It was obvious that she had already recovered from the fright she received in the palace that day.
