At noon the next day, several carriages with thick cotton curtains and large black words written on them headed for the Duke of Qi's mansion.
Lu Ze takes his family to visit other families at the end of the year. This scene is actually rare.
Because generally, men and women are separated during visits.
The scale of the banquet held by the Duke of Qi this time was quite large, and many noble families were invited, which to some extent demonstrated the heritage of the Duke of Qi.
Lu Ze also changed his official uniform from dark green to crimson a few years ago.
Otherwise, it is uncertain whether the Qi family will invite the Sheng family.
In less than half an hour, Lu Ze and his party arrived at their destination.
I saw the door of Qi Mansion open, with a pair of gold and red couplets hung on both sides, and dense red firecrackers hung high.
Just from the outside, you can vaguely feel the grandeur of the Duke of Qi's mansion.
No wonder everyone in Bianjing City regards the young master Qi Heng as a favorite. In addition to the young master’s appearance and personality, his family background is also the key. This But the future Duke of Qi is certain.
There are dedicated servants and maids at the door waiting to welcome people into the house.
Lu Ze wanted to separate from the girls, so he gave some instructions to the eldest lady and three daughters beside him.
"Don't worry, officer."
"I will take good care of these three girls."
Enter the mansion.
Everyone felt that their eyes suddenly became wider, and the layout of the small bridge and flowing water was refreshing. The eldest lady and the three daughters beside her quietly looked at the Duke's Mansion. They were all visiting for the first time. visit.
I saw corridors and painted buildings everywhere, which were really grand and rich. Even the doors, windows and corridors were painted with gold.
On both sides of the pavilion corridor, there are several antique wooden lanterns hanging, and the pictures painted on them look vaguely visible.
Listening to the maid and servant in front of her introducing the situation in the mansion in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, the eldest lady only felt that the servants in the Duke's mansion were better than her own. No wonder Princess Pingning wished for it every time. Use your nostrils to look at people.
Just as I was thinking about it, I came to the main hall. At this time, several guests had already arrived in the huge room.
This huge main hall seems to be opened up by several surrounding rooms. There are only a few Duobao grids erected on both sides. The grids are filled with many exquisite and luxurious porcelain antiques as decorations. Understated yet luxurious.
The room was noisy, and the girls were talking lively.
However, the laughter of the mistress of the family, Princess Pingning, was the most penetrating, reaching the ears of Minglan and others.
"Princess Princess, we are not late."
The eldest lady stepped forward to greet Princess Pingning.
Mo Lan took Ru Lan and Ming Lan to bow to the elders in front of them one by one, and then went to another place.A place where girls gather.
As the female guests gradually arrived, the women in luxurious clothes and jewels sat together to drink tea and talk.
And there are more and more young ladies in their prime. The ladies here are basically from the families of high-ranking ministers, or at least from official families. Many of them are very familiar with each other. network.
Mo Lan chatted with the ladies easily, talking about the most fashionable plush shawls and the new rouge from Fuchun Pavilion. Ru Lan saw it and took care of herself. snorted.
The eldest lady would look here from time to time, so Rulan naturally knew what her mother meant.
But she is different from Mo Lan. She just can't chat with those official ladies. Those people think she is stupid, and she thinks those people are boring. Naturally, they just nod and exchange greetings when they go back and forth. .
"It's boring."
"Why haven't we seen brother Yuan Ruo come out for a long time?"
Ru Lan held her chin and glanced outside.
Ming Lan sat next to Ru Lan, holding a half-eaten piece of mung bean cake in her hand, thinking of the man as bright as spring.
"Maybe I'm sleeping in"
Ru Lan burst into laughter.
She still felt that the sixth sister around her was more interesting than those high-ranking ladies.
The two sisters were hiding in the corner. While they were talking, they heard the mother-in-law outside announcing that Princess Yong and the Lord Jiacheng County had arrived.
Princess Pingning went out to greet her first. All the female guests sitting in the room immediately stood up, followed them out, or stood still and waited. Rulan and Minglan, who were sitting in the corner, It was not noticeable, both of them stretched their heads to look outside.
Now in Bianjing City, there are all kinds of rumors.
And the rumors that the princess and Princess Yong are close now seem to be true.
I saw Princess Pingning talking very affectionately to the beautiful woman next to her. A circle of women surrounded them. Ru Lan watched her mother being squeezed into the crowd. On the outside, he curled his lips again.
And behind him was a young woman who was shouting and cheering.
The woman has a graceful figure, a luxurious bearing, and a pretty oval face lightly painted with powder.
The Princess of Jiacheng County is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is surrounded by several noble ladies in the center. Her long-sleeved appearance is somewhat similar to that of Princess Pingning. Ru Lan can see it. Very unhappy.
"Tch."
"What's so great."
"Isn't it just a fight with my father?"
Minglan quickly held her hand Half of the mung bean cake was stuffed into her mouth, and her hand that smelled of mung beans immediately covered Rulan's mouth. The latter whined twice, and Minglan hurriedly whispered, "Fifth sister, can you stop talking?" Ah"
Minglan, who was startled by the fifth sister, quickly looked around. Fortunately, the room was big enough and there were so many people that no one could hear her.
Minglan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ru Lan knew that it was indeed dangerous to talk too much just now.
So, under Minglan’s resentful eyes, she chose to remain silent.
"My dad is no worse than other dads."
Listening to the remaining words of the fifth sister beside him, Minglan nodded in approval.
"Yes."
Lu Ze's behavior in the front yard was surprisingly consistent with his two daughters.
At this moment, he was hiding in the corner eating red date cake. After the meeting, he would inevitably have to toast everywhere. At this time, he had to fill his stomach with something to stabilize the five internal organs.
For today’s banquet, Lu Ze didn’t eat much when he went out in the morning.
Not far away, Qi Guogong seemed to be able to deal with such a noisy scene with ease.
After all, the Duke of Guo grew up in such an environment. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice give birth to sons who can dig holes.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze couldn't help but think of the young father-in-law. Qi Heng's situation was obviously not suitable for his status. At least he was definitely not as good as his parents in terms of being good at dancing.
Just as Lu Ze finished finishing the red date cake, a boy suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Shangda people."
