Chapter 582 New Year's greetings (4)
Lu Mingxuan remembered that hot water was readily available when she just came back, and she couldn't help laughing: "Strange Taoists often say that 'a family with an old man is like a treasure'. I don't know how much trouble can be saved by having Nanny Duan here! "

Nanny Duan laughed quickly and said, "Ma'am, you are serious, this old servant is just doing his duty."

After eating for a while and resting for a while, Lu Mingxuan changed out of the clothes again, and went to Commander Cao's residence with Ling Mengqi in the car to pay New Year's greetings.

Commander Cao is very proud of Ling Mengqi's subordinate, whether it is public or private, so when he listens to his subordinates to report that Ling Mengqi brings his wife to him for New Year's greetings, he doesn't care that he is Ling Mengqi. Meng Qi went up to the peak, and Mrs. Cao took it out of the Chuihua Gate.

Because they came to pay New Year's greetings, both Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan were dressed brightly. The husband and wife were born well, and standing together was a bit prettier than the golden boy and jade girl in front of the Jade Emperor in the portrait. Hearing Ling Mengqi's voice, Mrs. Cao, who hadn't seen him, was stunned, and Commander Cao was also stunned. The husband and wife thought, there really is such a handsome man in this world, and the other Then he thought, Meng Qi's new daughter-in-law is so beautiful, so it's no wonder she is so precious, a hero is sad for a beauty!

Everyone met each other, Commander Cao took Ling Mengqi to the flower hall in the front yard, and Lu Mingxuan followed Mrs. Cao to the main room in the inner yard.

The inside of the room is much warmer than the outside. As soon as Lu Mingxuan entered the room, Danbi who accompanied her took off the scarlet orangutan felt cloak outside, revealing the pink-colored Hangzhou silk beanie and the dark green ruqun with embellished edges. , it became more and more that her face was like a peach blossom.

Mrs. Cao couldn't help but praised: "Master Ling looks like Pan An, and only a beauty like Mrs. Ling can match her."

Lu Mingxuan hurriedly laughed and said: "Madam is really absurd, I am nothing but the appearance of a willow, by the way, my small character is 'Mingxuan', the elders in the family call me by my first name, if Madam doesn't mind, you can also call me that. "The implication is that Mrs. Cao is treated like an elder.

The smile on Mrs. Cao's face got bigger and bigger, and she said: "Then I'll ask you to call you 'Ming Xuan'. When I saw you in the palace this morning, I felt kind, but it's not convenient to talk at that time. Now we can finally have a good conversation." Asked how old Lu Mingxuan was this year, who was in the family, and what he used to pass the time on weekdays.

Lu Mingxuan replied respectfully and affectionately one by one. After a while, Mrs. Cao became more and more affectionate towards her, and ordered her two daughters to come to visit Lu Mingxuan. The two nieces and daughters who were temporarily staying at her house also came together. And called.

This was treating Lu Mingxuan with family-friendly etiquette. Lu Mingxuan was deeply moved, and took out the pre-prepared meeting gifts to reward a few Miss Cao, and socialized with them decently.

Mrs. Cao still had business to tell Lu Mingxuan, and when Lu Mingxuan finished talking with her daughters and nieces, she dismissed them, and then said to Lu Mingxuan: "I just heard you said that except for the second and third days of junior high, the rest of the time No arrangements? That’s right, Mr. Ling is alone in the capital, and you are newly married... Let’s say this, my family will have a banquet on the eighth day of the lunar new year. At that time, more than a thousand adults and their families in Jinyiwei will come, so you can come too. I introduced them to you, once you come and go, everyone will naturally become familiar with them, and you will have a few more people who can talk in the future."

Although Ling Mengqi is now considered a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei, his relationship with his colleagues is mostly not good. It is also because he has been promoted too quickly and makes people jealous, and it is also because he has little contact with those people, which makes people feel uncomfortable. If I don't know him well, if I can ease the relationship between him and his colleagues by getting acquainted with the wives of his colleagues, it will do him more good than harm.

With a flash of thought, Lu Mingxuan got up and thanked Madam Cao deeply, and said gratefully: "Madam treats me and my wife like this, I don't even know how to thank Madam."

Mrs. Cao hurriedly smiled and helped her up: "Don't be so polite, it's because our adults have always regarded Mr. Ling as his right-hand man, and it's also because my eldest daughter is about the same age as you, and she just married at the beginning of last year. I saw you , I thought of her, it was not easy for anyone when the new daughter-in-law just passed the door, and you didn't have any elders to help, I can help a little, it may be just a little effort for me, but it may be a timely help for you. "

Regardless of the reason Madam Cao said such words to her, Lu Mingxuan was grateful for her kindness, and nodded secretly in her heart, Madam Cao was indeed worth a friend.

After leaving Cao's house, Ling Mengqi and Lu Mingxuan went to Deputy Commander Gao's house to pay New Year's greetings without stopping.

Lu Mingxuan was already used to Mrs. Gao, but she didn't have to prepare herself to deal with Mrs. Cao like she did when she faced Mrs. Cao. Lu Mingxuan's trip to the Gao Mansion was quite pleasant.

After returning to his home from the Gao Mansion, it was already Shen Shi, Ling Mengqi had to go to pay New Year's greetings to other colleagues, so he only sent Lu Mingxuan to the door of the house, so that she didn't have to wait for him to eat at night, and after he had used it earlier, he could eat it again. After hitting the horses and going out, Lu Mingxuan was surrounded by Danqing Danbi and returned to the inner room. After freshening up and drinking a cup of hot tea, she felt much more comfortable.

Ling Mengqi didn't come back smelling of alcohol until it was completely dark, and he told Danqing: "Let the kitchen get me a bowl of noodles right away, I just drank so much that I didn't eat any food." Two mouthfuls, my heart is in a panic right now."

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but feel distressed when she heard this, and hurriedly helped him change his clothes and freshen up. While busy, she couldn't help but angrily said: "It's other people's business to ask you to drink. The mouth grows on you. If you don't drink, they can still force you. Or you can sneak in a few chopsticks dishes in your busy schedule, just like this, half full of wine, blowing the cold wind all the way back, when you turn around and feel uncomfortable, don’t ask me to rub the sun for you... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Mengqi had already blocked his mouth, and he also blocked back the words he hadn't finished speaking.

Later, when Danqing came back with a bowl of steaming noodles on a red lacquered tray, she saw that there was no one in the room, only a low laugh or two occasionally came from the clean room, she couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly left out.

The next day, Lu Mingxuan slept until dawn, and then lazily got up. Ling Mengqi was no longer in the house, so she asked Danqing, and said that she went to the yard to fight boxing just after dawn, and she couldn't help feeling angry I thought to myself, why is she the one who suffers from back pain every time!
But she only pretended for a short while, and then she sat in front of the dressing table and was dressed up by Danqing Danbi. She had to go back to her mother's house later, so there was no delay.

When Ling Mengqi came back from punching, Lu Mingxuan had already dressed up. The sleeveless jacket with big red passionflower branches and cut silk was gorgeous, her hair was combed into a peony bun, surrounded by emerald beads, and her face was lightly powdered. The black eyebrows are skillfully drawn, and she looks more graceful and luxurious than before.
