Chapter 217: Imperial Decree (2)
Mrs. Lu naturally wanted to ask what was going on, so Lu Mingxuan explained it to her old man, and Mrs. Lu immediately expressed relief, nodded and said: "This is how a family should care for each other." She praised Zhao Yanjie is considerate, "I see Miss Xuan every day and I don't notice that there is always a slight worry between her brows, but you have sharp eyes, and you know how to persuade her not to worry too much, you are a good brother!"

Nanny Zhang also smiled at the side: "I didn't find that Miss Xuan was too worried, so it can be seen that Master Biao is really considerate." After speaking, she exchanged a tacit look with Mrs. Lu.

The praise made Zhao Yanjie blush. In the eyes of others, he was only shy, but only he himself knew that his blushing was because of Mrs. Lu's words of "good brother". If he is really a good brother, how could others Didn't notice that Cousin Xuan always had a slight worry between her brows, did he notice it?For a moment, I felt extremely ashamed, and even the roots of my ears were red.

Naturally, Lu Mingxuan didn't know what Zhao Yanjie was thinking at that time, she just thought that Mrs. Lu and Nanny Zhang were both laughing strangely, but if she was asked to say exactly where the blame was, she couldn't tell for a while. He met Zhao Yanjie's eyes in the air, and saw that Zhao Yanjie's face was not only shaved, but even the roots of his ears were completely red, and his own face felt hot for no reason.

On the side, Mrs. Lu and Nanny Zhang laughed even more happily.

After Lu Mingxuan went back at night, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs. Lu and Nanny Zhang had a very meaningful smile during the day, because she connected all the things that happened in Mrs. Lu's house during the day from beginning to end and thought about it carefully First, the old lady dismissed all the other sisters, and left herself to serve her. Then Zhao Yanjie didn't come to say hello early, but she came at that time. Hearing Zhao Yanjie persuade her not to worry too much, so as not to hurt her body When things were going wrong, Mrs. Lu's face was immediately filled with relief... A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and a bold guess suddenly surfaced, maybe Mrs. Lu was deliberately trying to match her and Zhao Yanjie?
Others don't know Mrs. Lu's guilt and love for her, but she knows that Zhao Yanjie is not bad in appearance, has better character, and is hardworking. Thinking is the most suitable husband candidate, Mrs. Lu can naturally see what she can see, so it is not surprising that she has such thoughts.

Lu Mingxuan should have been happy for such a discovery. As long as Mrs. Lu had the same intention, her affairs with Zhao Yanjie would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. I saw another person, that person's smile was not as warm and clean as Zhao Yanjie's, but his eyes seemed to have magical powers, and people couldn't help but want to sink in when they saw it... I can't think about it anymore, time is the best Good medicine, anyway, she is only 11 years old now, and there are at least three or four years before she leaves the cabinet. Maybe she will come out in the next three or four years?She believes that she will come out!

After that, Lu Mingxuan met Zhao Yanjie again in Mrs. Lu's room. She didn't know if Mrs. Lu had said something to him, or if he had guessed something. A little more eagerness made Lu Mingxuan have a little more hope for the future. With such a good start, it will only get better and better in the future, right?
The season has entered September, and the biggest event in the Duke's mansion is the old Duke's birthday, but it's the same as last year, because it's not a whole life, the old Duke said early in the morning that there is no need to make a big deal, and the day has come, Invite a group of relatives and friends to come to the house to have a meal, drink and watch a play. It's nothing more than a day of fun.

On that day, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu woke up early, after washing and dressing up, they went to Rongtaiju to kowtow to the old man together with the others.

The old man was wearing a brand-new hang silk gown, and he looked very good. He was kowtowed by a group of children, grandchildren and respectable people. Forget it, with his status and seniority, he didn't need to greet him in person, in case the emperor would reward him, he had to thank him face to face.

The rest of the female relatives tidied up a bit, and then surrounded Mrs. Lu and went to the open hall for the banquet.

After a while, the guests came one after another. They were all familiar faces. After meeting each other, they sat together in twos and threes, drinking tea, chatting and eating melon seeds. The scene was very lively.

Near noon, when the banquet was about to start, a woman ran in panting, bowed her knees and saluted, and said: "Old lady, there is an imperial decree, and the old man sent someone to tell everyone to hurry up and put on their makeup." After going out to receive the order, the second master and the second wife are invited to change their clothes and go together."

For a while, there was silence in the huge open hall.

Old Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and Princess Fu Hui all had serious expressions on their faces. How could there be a sudden imperial decree for no reason? It couldn't be that the emperor specially granted a reward because today is the old man's birthday?But when the old Duke asked the noble to resign, the emperor had made him one of the first rank, three princes and three orphans, and Ding Guogong himself was a super first rank duke. An extremely human minister, there is no seal at all, what else can the emperor reward him with?Also, why is it necessary to name Lu Zhongjing and Mrs. Lu also to pick up the order? According to the law, Lu Zhongjing only has one vain job to donate, while Mrs. Lu has no orders, and both of them are "recovering from illness". It's not that they don't know, why do they have to go to receive the decree together as husband and wife?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all in doubt, but the only thing that is certain is that it should not be a bad thing, otherwise the emperor would not choose to let the servants come to announce the decree today. After all, the old man is the elder of the old dynasty. Put it there, the emperor will more or less give some thin noodles.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said to the crowd: "All distinguished guests, please wait for a while, let us girls go to the front to receive the order and then come back to entertain you."

Many of the guests present also received the imperial decree, and they all laughed and said: "There are priorities, so it is important to accept the decree, old lady, please feel free."

Mrs. Lu ordered Grandma Lu and sisters Lu Mingfeng to communicate with each other, ordering them to entertain all the distinguished guests, and then hurried back to their respective rooms surrounded by maids and women. Went to the main hall in the front yard.

The rest of Grandma Lu, Lu Mingfeng and the others greeted the guests with normal faces, but their minds drifted to the outer courtyard, and they didn't know if the sudden imperial decree today was a blessing or a curse?People like them seem to be wealthy and prominent, but they are always walking on thin ice. Whether it is good or bad depends on the mood of the emperor. The emperor must be in a good mood today!

Lu Mingxuan's thoughts were all spent recalling the present day of her previous life. She vaguely remembered that there was no imperial decree in the birthday palace of the old prince in the previous life, only a few birthday gifts from the emperor. Could it be that her rebirth can cause such a big impact?But this is obviously impossible, she is just a drop in the ocean in the vast sea of ​​people, how can she have so much energy that can influence the emperor's mind and even the current situation?I just hope that it is a good thing that the imperial decree comes today, otherwise if something happens to Dingguo's mansion, there will be no eggs in the nest, and she and her father and sister will never have a good life again!
