Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 570 Sealing the Letter (1)
Thoughts flashed through him, he stepped forward a few steps, blocked Lu Mingxuan behind him, coughed in extreme displeasure, and reminded everyone to show respect, and don't blame him if he dares to stare at his wife. You're welcome!
With the sound of this cough, everyone was stunned, and then they came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream. Thinking of how strict Ling Mengqi's rule was under Su Ri, he straightened his body and looked at him. He lowered his head thoughtfully, then Qiqi gave Meng Xingyun a subtle wink, signaling him to deal with the boss and his wife, who told him that this guy had read books and was the best at talking.

Meng Xingyun received everyone's glances, so he had no choice but to touch his nose, smiled and cupped his fists in Ling Mengqi's direction, but he said to Lu Mingxuan: "Madam is too polite, you are relying on the adults to lift us up, we wait In order to be able to have today, it is my duty to go through fire and water for my lord, and it is also something we are willing to do, and I really can't afford the word 'thank you' Madam."

Lu Mingxuan saw that he was elegant and handsome, and his speech was gentle and gentle. If people who didn't know him saw him, they would only think that he was a scholar, not the Jin Yiwei who everyone heard of, and it was easy to develop a good impression of him.

After glancing at Ling Mengqi and seeing him nodding, he replied with a smile: "Having said that, I am still very grateful to you lords, of course it is because my uncle praised you that you are what you are today. But without the help of all the adults, my uncle might not be where he is today. We are all our own people, so I don’t say too many polite words. I have ordered my servants to tidy up the banquet, so I will put it on the table. Please, everyone My lords, please don't be polite, you must be drunk before you sleep, I have something to do in the house, so I won't accompany you, all lords, stay a while!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his knees and gave another salute before turning around and leaving gracefully.

The rest of the people saw her back fading away from the corner of their eyes, and soon they left the door of the flower hall, and wanted to crane their necks to see, but because of Ling Mengqi's face, they didn't dare to look at her, so they could only secretly regret in their hearts. I'm afraid I will never see my wife again, or even see such a beautiful woman again in this life?
But because of this, they absolutely dare not have any thoughts that they shouldn't have. If they offend the boss, the consequences will be disastrous. It's as if people in the world only have reverence and devotion when facing the portrait of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, but they dare not have any evil thoughts under the compassionate eyes of her old man.

Even when facing Xia He and Caizan afterwards, no one dared to look at the two of them from time to time like just now, let alone make some explicit jokes, saying something that made them extremely ashamed but dared not get angry. If you dare to say it, this is Madam's personal maid. If they don't respect them, don't they also disrespect Madam?
As a result, the whole banquet went smoothly and satisfactorily. Everyone drank and ate meat in large bowls, chatting and laughing. For the people of Jinyiwei, there is no difference between curfew and non-curfew. Is there any blind person who dares to block the way and they can't make it?So they all resigned from Ling Mengqi, wrapped up in the smell of alcohol, beat their horses, and went home to sleep.

After Ling Mengqi sent everyone away, he didn't go back to the inner courtyard first, but ordered hot water to be prepared and washed himself in the outer courtyard. He felt that the smell of alcohol on his body had almost dissipated, so he entered the inner courtyard and returned to the inner courtyard. His and Lu Mingxuan's room.

I thought Lu Mingxuan had already fallen asleep, but she didn't expect her to be lying on the couch reading a book. Under the dim light, her moon-white blouse made her red lips and teeth whiter, as delicate as a flower.

Seeing Ling Mengqi coming in, she hurriedly put down her book and came up to her: "Have all the guests been sent away?"

Ling Mengqi grabbed her shoulders and said "hmm", "I sent them away, why haven't you slept yet?"

Lu Mingxuan smiled and said: "Isn't this waiting for you?" Seeing that he had already washed and washed, she said: "Since you have washed and washed, let's rest earlier, although we don't need to get up early tomorrow, we can sleep well Too late is not the way to keep in good health."

Ling Mengqi nodded, hugged her and lay down, then stroked her hair and said in a muffled voice: "I should have known that I shouldn't have let those guys come to my house for dinner, or I shouldn't have let you go out to meet them. Didn't they offend you?"

"How could it be?" Lu Mingxuan said with a smile, "I think they are actually pretty good people, and it's no wonder that you regard them as confidantes. If there is a chance in the future, you can invite them to your house for dinner again, just a few more pairs. About the chopsticks..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Mengqi had already blocked his mouth. He neither affirmed nor denied Lu Mingxuan's words, but he couldn't help but slander viciously in his heart. Those bastards still wanted to come to his house for dinner, it was a dream, even if he actually knew They dare not have evil thoughts towards Lu Mingxuan, they are also dreaming!

This time, it was the turn of someone who was careful and courteous to overturn the jar of jealousy.

In mid-October, Ling Mengqi went to the Ministry of Rites to request an imperial order for Lu Mingxuan, and it took only three days from the time the paper was handed up to when it was approved, and the speed was astonishingly fast.

Originally, Ling Mengqi thought that once Lu Mingxuan had a formal order, she would have to go to the palace to worship at four o'clock in the future, and what would happen might happen. Whenever she met a member of Murong's family, she was not imprisoned. Dangerous?

He couldn't bear to let her take such a risk, so he postponed the day of getting the booklet again and again, although he knew that sooner or later he would not be able to pass it, but if he could delay it day by day, anyway, as long as he was a fourth-rank, she would be The four-rank imperial order is firmly established, no matter whether the imperial court has formally canonized her or not, I understand that no one outside the family would dare to neglect her easily.

Who knew that Commander Cao had asked him to talk about this matter: "Don't you value your newlywed wife very much, why haven't you signed up for her yet? Which woman in this world doesn't think about her husband honoring her wife?" Gui, your wife is from the Duke's Mansion, and you have granted her a royal order earlier, and she has nothing to do with it when she returns to her mother's house, so she can live with you with more peace of mind in the future, so that you don't have to worry about working outside, right? You I haven't been able to get the papers all the time, and those who don't know think you don't care about her at all!"

Naturally, Ling Mengqi couldn't tell Commander Cao what he really thought in his heart, so he had to make excuses: "The humble job is also because the people in the Ministry of Rites are used to watching the dishes. It will come down sooner or later, so I plan to see the right time."

Commander Cao waved his hand when he heard the words: "The people in the Ministry of Rites are looking at the dishes, but that's for others, for our Jinyiwei, I'm not boasting, and if I borrow their courage, they won't dare to bark their teeth. You just submit the booklet, I will see the Langzhong who is in charge of this matter in the etiquette department tomorrow to say hello to you, and I will come down after three or five days, otherwise the etiquette department will slap me in the face of Lao Cao, and I will have to be with you They found something to do!"
