Chapter 453: Birthday Banquet (3)
Lu Mingfu said shyly and happily "Yes", "I'm living a good life. Not a few days after I returned from the Three Dynasties, my mother-in-law took me to start assisting the housekeeper. I set the rules, and the two sister-in-laws are easy to get along with, especially your brother-in-law..."

Not only did he blush like a red cloth, but even his ears were red, "I heard what you said, and I didn't raise eyebrows and eyes at him as soon as I entered the door. I even gave him some jewelry and some cloth. In a few days, he took the initiative to find my mother-in-law and said that Tongfang was not young, so he should send her out. My mother-in-law rewarded her with a dowry, found a reliable family, and married her. After that, I ... When I was young, I offered to make Luoxia or Luomei angry, but he didn't agree, he just said that he should concentrate on studying in order to prepare for next year's spring, and then asked my mother-in-law, is there any two years old with them at home? The good-looking steward is going to get married, and I will officially take over the presidency at that time, so that the two of them can help with running errands and so on. Some things are inevitably inconvenient for a maid, but a daughter-in-law will have no scruples."

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help blushing, but she was sincerely happy for Lu Mingfu: "Hearing what my sister said, I can finally feel at ease, and I only hope that my brother-in-law can treat my sister like this for the rest of my life." it is good."

The two sisters were talking happily, but they didn't notice that there was always a line of sight watching them from time to time. To be more precise, it should be paying attention to Lu Mingxuan all the time, but it was the county lord Yi'an.

After experiencing the second wife incident last time, He Zhixing didn't know if he was shamed and turned into anger, and he refused to mention the matter of taking a concubine and marrying the second wife.She didn't want He Zhixing to treat her much colder since then. At first, she thought that he liked the new and disliked the old, and she was interested in someone, so she made insinuations that if there was such a thing, she would never stop him, and she would definitely replace him with a good reputation. He welcomes people through the door.

Unexpectedly, he categorically denied that there was such a thing, and told her not to think about it. Afterwards, she ordered someone to inquire quietly, and found that he did not have any relationship with other women.

However, County Lord Yi'an has become even more vigilant, the so-called "everything goes wrong is a demon", there must be a reason for such a big change in him suddenly, can't he just be like this for no reason?This vigilance really led her to find a portrait under the long case in his small study, a portrait of a woman playing the flute. Although the woman on it looked not tall enough, she was so beautiful that the county magistrate Yi'an Ashamed of myself.

Instinctively, County Lord Yi'an guessed the identity of the woman, and she should be the Miss Lu whom her husband had asked for before. Although she felt sore and astringent in her heart, she did not tell anyone about it afterwards, nor did she let anyone go to her quietly. He Zhixing's personal servant confirmed Lu Mingxuan's identity.

But a few days ago, Mrs. Yan asked for her opinion symbolically as always. When she wanted to go to the Dingguo Mansion's banquet, she agreed for the first time, just to prove with her own eyes the person He Zhixing is thinking about now. It was Lu Mingxuan.

The facts really proved her guess, that woman was indeed Lu Mingxuan, and she was more beautiful than the one in the portrait, so it was no wonder that her husband would never forget her.

County Lord Yi'an felt as if she had drank a whole jar of old vinegar in her heart. She was bitterly sour, but she was not without joy. Fortunately, Miss Lu was already engaged, otherwise she would have married her husband and become the second wife. In the future, where will the Duke of Chang's Mansion still have a foothold?

Lu Mingxuan naturally didn't know what the Lord Yi'an was thinking. The Qi family also came at that time, and she and Lu Mingfu were meeting with the Qi family together, and the Qi family could not help but take the opportunity to ask how Lu Mingfu was doing. After the reply, Xiaodu narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that more and more guests came, and the huge hall became more and more lively, a maid trotted in and bowed her knees to salute: "Return to the old lady, the empresses of Princess Gong and Princess Duan have arrived—"

Lu Mingfeng is the aunt who married Dingguo's mansion. It is understandable for her to come back on such a big day to embarrass her mother's family. As an elder and today's birthday star, Mrs. Lu can naturally ask her not to take her out.

But Princess Duan is different. The Lu and Wei families were not in the same circle, and they had no contact with each other since Wei Yuhua married Queen Duan. It was just asking the steward to send a gift to Prince Duan's mansion during the festival, but I didn't expect that Wei Yuhua would come to support her in person today.

She is in the first day of junior high school, so it is not good for Mrs. Lu not to be fifteen. In front of Wei Yuhua, there is no air of elders, so she has to pick it up in person to show respect. , Mr. Rong will excuse me for a while."

Everyone hurriedly laughed and said, "The old lady (you) is easy."

Except for the people in Anguo's mansion who had both a queen and a concubine at home, everyone else couldn't help showing a bit of envy in their eyes. After a birthday, the two concubines could come to the door to congratulate each other. Life is an honor enough.

Mrs. Lu led Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Grandma Lu and Lu Mingxuan to pick her up together. She also wanted Lu Mingxuan and Wei Yuhua to be well, so that she could help entertain her.

All of a sudden, the group of people went outside the Chuihua Gate, and saw Lu Mingfeng and Wei Yuhua's chariots slowly approaching one after the other from a distance. Mrs. Lu hurriedly led everyone to kneel down: "Welcome Princess Gong, welcome Duan Empress Dowager."

Earlier, two female officials trotted forward and helped Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu up, and then Lu Mingfeng and Wei Yuhua got out of the car one after the other.

Lu Mingfeng said to Wei Yuhua with a smile: "Although there are differences between monarchs and ministers, the law is nothing more than human feelings. As a granddaughter and daughter, how can I just watch my grandmother and mother kneel down to me, so I don't ask the opinions of my third siblings. I have honored my grandmother and mother, and I ask my third sibling not to be offended."

Wei Yuhua hurriedly laughed and said: "Sister-in-law is serious, your elders are my elders, you can't accept the ceremony of the old lady and his wife, and naturally I can't either, there is nothing strange about it."

Although she has only been Princess Duan for a few short months, Wei Yuhua, who is dressed in a red clay gold hundred butterflies wearing a flowery floor skirt and a nine-tailed crested hairpin inlaid with rubies in gold silk, already looks like a princess. Now, not only her words and deeds are impeccable, but even the smile on her face is just right, she is no different from the noble ladies in the capital, which is unimaginable, but just a few months ago, her words and deeds were well behaved It also gave his mother, Mrs. Wei a headache.

Lu Mingxuan watched from the side as she greeted Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu gracefully and decently. She was relieved, but for some reason, she felt a sense of sadness out of thin air. A woman who was once so real and lively was now forced to Want to hold back all the brilliance and be a completely different self, and I don't know what it feels like in her heart?Anyway, I feel very bad in my heart.
