Chapter 49 Congrats
Qiao Yun's praise for the mutton was indeed sincere, and she couldn't think of anything else to praise.

"Then why don't you stay here for a few more days!" Meng Shaoqing was very worried about the fact that Qiao Yun would leave after only three days in the county magistrate's mansion.

Mrs. Lu gave her a loving look: "Is he not busy with his own affairs? Just hang around you all day?"

"Hmm." Meng Shaoqing pouted sullenly.

Qiao Yun smiled and said, "You can still come and play with me in the future."

Meng Shaoqing's eyes lit up immediately, wouldn't it be good for her to go back to her home with Qiao Yun on the second day of the Lunar New Year?
Lu Shi knew what was wrong with her just by looking at her, and said, "Qingqing. Don't forget that we have to go out in the third year of junior high school."

Meng Shaoqing's little head suddenly drooped again, completely limp.

"Are you still going out in this weather?" Qiao Yun was quite puzzled.

Speaking of this, Lu Shi actually sighed.Feeling the heat in front of the steaming hot pot and listening to the snow falling outside the window at the same time, it was originally an elegant thing to make people feel happy, but thinking of the hard work these days, Lu Shi is in a good mood stand up.

"The fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Jiangzhou Governor's wife. I don't want to go, but Quwo County is less than a hundred miles away from Jiangzhou. The Jiangzhou governor also knew that Mr. Lang didn't bring his wife when he returned to Chang'an, so the posts were all delivered to him. I'm here. If I don't go, won't it make it difficult for Mr. Lang in front of the governor in the future? I'm having a headache these days."

It turned out to be the case.

Qiao Yun showed a very understanding expression.

Socializing, she understands.

In the previous life, my father often had many unavoidable entertainments, and this was only the case in the shopping malls. There were only a lot of such entertainments in the intricate officialdom system in ancient times.

"Then why does Madam have a headache? If there is someone you don't want to see, just stay away from her at the table."

"I haven't turned against anyone yet." When Lu Shi thought of this, her temples twitched, and she put another chopsticks of lamb ribs on Yunmo's plate, and sighed: "Quwo County is a small county after all. , and it’s so close to Jiangzhou Mansion, and there are some mansions here, so I’m worried about what gifts to give.”

Qiao Yun obediently ate the lamb ribs, and then said: "So it's for this! Since it's the wife of the governor's mansion, how about preparing some rich ornaments to deal with it?"

"You don't know something." Mrs. Lu sighed, "If it's like this, it's fine, I don't have a headache. The Mrs. Governor's surname is Xue. You are a clever and knowledgeable child. Needless to say, you know what your background is. I am I have emptied the family, and the things I hold out can't be seen by others, not to mention that I don't flatter her, so what are you wasting that money for in vain?"

It seems that Mrs. Lu really doesn't like this social gathering, and she even unceremoniously used words such as flattery, which is very unrefined in the eyes of literati, on Mrs. Xue.

However, Qiao Yun felt something was wrong. She glanced at Mrs. Lu suspiciously, and asked: "Madam, you said your surname is Lu, so could it be..."

"You're so smart!" Lu Shi was so happy that she couldn't help but put another mutton ball for her.

"Isn't that right? You were born as a woman with five surnames. How can the Xue family in Hedong look good in front of the five surnames and seven families? If you talk about the families in Guanlong, the Pei family can compare with the five surnames and seven families."

Lu Shi looked at Qiao Yun in surprise, never expecting such a little girl to be able to talk about the status of Xuan Tang and other aristocratic families.

She is indeed a descendant of nobles!
But the surname Qiao is not a common surname, is it?

While Lu Shi was lost in her heart, she explained Qiao Yun's confusion: "Although she is not the most conspicuous housemate of Xue Shi, she is a daughter of the first wife. , the specifications of the dowry are also different when they get married.”

Speaking of her own background, Mrs. Lu did not hide the slightest bit, and openly admitted that she was a concubine, and even Meng Shaoqing who was beside her did not feel that such an identity was embarrassing.

Qiao Yun was deeply surprised.

In many literary works she has read, those women are all very sensitive to concubines.From Tanchun in Dream of the Red Chamber, to the queen in a well-known Gongdou drama, to the vicious female supporting role in various online novels, it's all like this.It seems that there is a difference between the mother-in-law and the concubine.

Only Feng girl in the Dream of the Red Chamber dared to say that when they get married, those who only want to be concubines and not concubines are unlucky and frivolous people.

"So that's it! Then this birthday gift can only be called "Xinqiao?"

"That's right. But it's just such a tricky word! Alas!"

Meng Shaoqing rarely saw such a worried expression on her mother's face.

Usually A Niang always looks confident in front of her, as if everything can be settled for her. If she is wronged, A Niang can also comfort her with a smile, and give her many enlightening words. reason.

Seeing how troubled A Niang is now, she really wants to share it for A Niang.

So, she mustered up her courage and carefully suggested: "Then, why not send some exquisite embroidery? Kangping or something, as long as it can highlight the exquisite embroidery."

"Silly boy, it will only take two or three days. The embroidery workshops in the county are closed. Where can I get exquisite embroidery? It seems that your and my embroidery workers can be given away?" Lu looked at it lovingly. He glanced at her, and was deeply relieved that his daughter finally stopped fooling around and began to use her brain.

Qiao Yun had just picked up a piece of meatball for Yun Xuemei, when she heard this, the tips of her chopsticks froze.

She said she seemed to have forgotten something!
She still hasn't given away the fan!

It was agreed that this fan was a meeting gift for Mrs. Lu, but when I introduced the gift to Mrs. Lu at noon, when I mentioned facial cream, I was interrupted by Meng Shaoqing, and was dragged back to the room to rest by this girl.

In this way, she actually forgot about the fan.

Wait... When she returned to the room, those gifts seemed to be left in the main room, and she didn't seem to bring the fan back to the room.Could it be that Mrs. Lu's maid took it back together with other objects?

Thinking of this, Qiao Yun hurriedly said, "Ma'am, there is actually another gift I didn't have time to talk about just now."

Mrs. Lu was taken aback. She thought that two large boxes of snacks and a few boxes of peach blossom paste were enough, but she didn't expect there to be more. She hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"It's a fan. Well... I embroidered it myself." Qiao Yun was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, "I learned Shu embroidery, which is different from the embroidery that the embroiderer here is good at."

This fan was clearly produced by a game, and Qiao Yun felt that she was a bit thin-skinned if she had the audacity to take this thing as her own.

It doesn't matter, the first time is raw and the second time is familiar, she feels that she will probably gain confidence after practicing a few more times.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yunmao recommended herself: "I was thinking, Shu embroidery is a specialty of Yizhou, and Chengdu is thousands of miles away from here, so Mrs. Xue is not very common, I wonder if it could be a coincidence? "

Lu Shi thought for a while, and said, "That's fine."

Although she has never seen Qiao Yun's embroidery skills, she intends to trust this child.

Although she didn't fully understand what kind of temperament Girl Yun was, at least she would never make fun of her in such matters.

"But I don't have any good material to make the fan handle. I use ordinary Yuzhu."

"It's a trivial matter. Just change it. There are still some good materials in the warehouse, and it won't take long to change the fan handle."

After finishing an urgent and urgent matter, a stone in Mrs. Lu's heart finally fell to the ground, and her brows and eyes suddenly relaxed.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became harmonious again, at this time, a little maid came in through the curtain again, came to the table, and said respectfully: "Madam, Mr. Sanlang's dinner is over, come to pay your respects to Madam."
