Chapter 271 The Big Girl (3)
Waking up the next day, Lu Mingxuan resolved a big doubt in her heart, slept better at night, and was naturally in good spirits. After going to the main room to greet Mrs. Qi, she and Lu Mingfu helped Mrs. Qi with her work. In a few days, all the chores of entertaining guests at home will come.

As for Lu Zhongxian, because there were still matters to be delivered with some stewards of the Duke's Mansion, he went to the Duke's Mansion early in the morning. However, what Lu Mingxuan didn't know was that what was supposed to be delivered by Lu Zhongxian had already been delivered almost , The main purpose of his trip is to meet Mrs. Lu in the inner courtyard.

After working so hard for a few days, it came to the 25th, the day for the Lu family to entertain guests.

Some members of the Lu clan saw that Lu Zhongxian's branch became more and more prosperous because of being next to the thigh of the Duke's mansion. Although they were jealous a lot, there were more people rushing to flatter them. But if you want to marry the maidservant whom the old lady loves, the daughters are not as outstanding as other people's daughters, and the old lady likes it, even if she wants to get close to her thigh, she can't get close to her, so she can only settle for the next best thing, and come to Lu Zhongxian's thigh, Let's see if he can use him to say a few good words for his family in front of the old man and the old lady, so that his family can also develop accordingly?
So the number of guests who came this day was actually more than when Lu Zhongxian married the Qi family and had a hundred-day banquet with An Geer before. There were more than [-] tables opened inside and outside before the guests could settle down. They had to be seated, and this was only relatives and friends. If there were decent stewards and other guests in the mansion, there would probably be more than [-] tables open.

As the prospective son-in-law, Yan Jiulang came to the Lu family early in the morning to help. Lu Zhongxian was also very satisfied with this. What made him tangled up was that Zhao Yanjie also came to help later. Isn't this telling everyone that he is His prospective second son-in-law?Of course, Zhao Yanjie is indeed not bad, but after all he likes that little bastard surnamed Ling more, and he doesn't know where he died at the moment. Doesn't he know that this is the time for him to behave? At that time, the daughter-in-law ran away, but he asked for it, so he can't blame him, the father-in-law, for not helping him!
——A certain person who has unconsciously regarded himself as the father-in-law did not know at that time that his prospective son-in-law had been beaten to pieces by his daughter, and he was almost about to give up his plan to be his son-in-law.

On the second day at the Lu family's banquet, Ling Mengqi still didn't show up, not only didn't he come, he didn't even send the gift, it's unknown if he really didn't have time to take care of it, or he didn't know about it at all , or know it but act as if you don't know it?
After Lu Mingxuan heard about it, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ling Mengqi had really given up on her this time, unlike before when she said 'understand' but acted in her own way. Such a result is undoubtedly the current situation. The best thing is, as for the sourness and loss in her heart, it will be fine if she gets used to it...

On the first day of March, after Lu Zhongxian took up his post and reported to Wucheng Bingma Division, Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu stayed at home for a few more days. I heard from Lu Zhongxian that they got along well with their colleagues and subordinates—think about it, Wucheng Bingma Except for the command envoy of the division, which is concurrently held by the marquis of Xingpinghou, the first-rank marquis, the other sub-commanders of the five cities in the east, west, north, south, and middle are all only at the sixth rank. If you don’t look at Lu Zhongxian’s monk face, you have to look at Ding Guogong’s mansion. As for the Buddha's face, how could he embarrass him?
The two sisters went back to the Duke's mansion with peace of mind, but it wasn't that they wanted to go back in such a hurry, but Mrs. Lu sent someone to pick them up. It turned out that the imperial edict had been issued in the palace a few days ago, and the emperor had ordered Qin Tianjian to occupy it. November [-]th is the auspicious day for the eldest prince and Lu Mingfeng to get married. It is the second month after the younger masters in the mansion except the second wife are married to the second wife of Lu. Also, Lu Wen is far older than Lu Mingfeng, and it is absolutely impossible to get married without a younger sister. Well, the reason why my brother doesn't marry yet, of course, Lu Mingya's situation is an exception among exceptions, so Lu Wenyuan's wedding date is set in October.

As a result, the mansion is too busy to prepare two marriages in such a short period of time. A few days ago, Grandma Pian Lu found out that she was two months pregnant. The one who was conceived before, but now she has to feel at ease to raise the baby and can't manage it, and Lu Mingfeng can't manage it because she can't participate in her own marriage affairs. Even if Mrs. Lu has eight hands, she can't handle the tens of thousands of heads now. After meeting with Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu proposed to hand over some trivial matters in the house to the girls, and then hurriedly picked up Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu back, with the intention of letting the two of them stay with Lu Mingli. In order to share the worries of Mrs. Lu.

After returning to the Duke's mansion, he saw Mrs. Lu's haggard face, and when she saw the two sisters coming back, she said with a cheerful face like never before: "But I hope that the two girls are back, and I can finally have a chance to catch my breath." .”

Then he couldn't help but give the kitchen, sewing room, storeroom and other insignificant pairs to the two sisters and Lu Mingfeng, while she herself only kept a few more important pairs in the purchasing department, business office, and account room. For the time being, she couldn't care less about suppressing Lu Mingli, she was only concentrating on arranging Lu Wenyuan and Lu Mingfeng's marriage.

Lu Wenyuan's marriage is easy to say, the mansion has its own rules for a concubine to marry a wife, and if he dies, it will only be a matter of 1 taels of silver. The key is Lu Mingfeng's marriage, not to mention the future, but now Lu Mingfeng is going to be the eldest sister-in-law. If her younger siblings overwhelm her, how will she convince the public in the future?So Mrs. Lu made up her mind early in the morning to make her daughter's marriage perfect, so that no one would be able to find out if it was wrong. What, just because they can still turn out the flowers?
Once there are serious things to do, the time is easy to pass. Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingfu, and Lu Mingli only spent a few days to get started with all the trivial things Mrs. Lu entrusted to them. After all, there are old rules to follow in everything. They just follow Cao's rules, and if they can't handle it, they can go to Mrs. Lu for instructions; secondly, a while ago, the old Duke personally took care of it, and sent a group of servants from the Duke's Mansion and the Changzhu Mansion, Lian Fuhui A few very respectable female officials and old mothers around the eldest princess were all stunned. Everyone saw who could not be afraid, even the voice of their voices was much lower than in the past, let alone dare to see each other. A few girls are young and tender, and they are just obedient and obedient.

Fast forward to April, first Zhao Yanjie left and went back to his hometown in Yuezhou to remove his uniform and take the exam. Mrs. Lu is now full of guilt for Lu Mingxuan, and she wanted to make up for it but it was too obvious, so she praised Zhao Yanjie even more and called her The woman in charge of the big kitchen went to Rongtaiju to order him to clean up the two tables of banquets and invite Zhao Yanjie to a family banquet before Zhao Yanjie left, and see him off.

It's a pity that Princess Fuhui was not in the mood, and Lu Mingzhu was also very unhappy because the wedding date between He Zhixing and Yi'an County Lord was set in May. The mother and daughter both claimed to be sick and did not come. They were all looking listless, and Grandma Lu didn't attend because she was too sad, so the whole family banquet seemed a little deserted.
