Chapter 81
I don't know what's going on with the solar terms this year, it's going very slowly.In the past, it would rain and cool down around the Mid-Autumn Festival in Kyoto, which was not suitable for outdoor activities. This year, it turned out to be continuous sunny days. Wearing single clothes during the day and wearing a bijia or single cloak at night is very suitable for outdoor activities.

Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, His Majesty and Queen chose to hold it in the Imperial Garden.The imperial garden is spacious, and in the past, it could only accommodate the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet for senior officials of the third rank or above. This year, the invited crowd has been expanded, and anyone from the six Chinese uniforms can participate.The Lu family is just enough to catch Zhu Fu's tail.Lu Weimang didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Together, Lu Qingshan and Lu Weimang learned some gossip about people in central Beijing, and ordered a pair of dark-colored clothes together, trying to be low-key and low-key at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day.

"Father put on this sandalwood dress ten years earlier!"

Lu Weimang commented in front of his father.

Everyone in the Lu family has the same aesthetics, and they like bright colors, such as this brown, which has never appeared in the Lu family before.Although Lu Weimang doesn't wear much ordinary clothes on weekdays, the housekeeper made her all the colors of scorpion, light yellow, and sky water green, so tender that water can be squeezed out.It just so happens that she is fourteen or fifteen years old now, and her skin is also naturally jade-colored and snow-white, so she looks very harmonious and delicate.

As for Lu Weimang himself, as he got older in his previous life, he liked colors like pink more and more. Now that he is in the age of cardamom, of course he wants to wear these tender colors all over.

"Your mouse gray is also very good."

Lu Qingshan nodded as he looked at his daughter who was wearing a squirrel gray Sichuan brocade jacket and a jade pleated skirt.

"Our family bought all the colors and materials that are not easy to sell in this Nishang Pavilion."

Here the father and daughter complained to each other, Cheng Yang and Chang Feng secretly laughed.

"You two, do your homework at home and go to bed early at night."

No matter how the father and daughter dawdled, the time for the palace banquet was almost here, and the two rode their horses towards the gate of the palace.

"Father, you drink, fish and brag with your colleagues all day, isn't it quite comfortable, why are you afraid of this kind of banquet?"

"I was at ease with my brothers. You don't know. There are a lot of gentle people in Beijing. If you stare at them, it makes us feel uncomfortable, as if you can pick out [-] faults at a glance. .”

Lu Qingshan shook his shoulders, as if he wanted to shake off some of the discomfort that he thought of, and then asked Lu Weimang, "You have been in the Imperial College for four years, and you are still so worthless? You should know more people than me ?”

Lu Weimang waved his hand, "I don't like socializing, most of the time I'm only in my own study room, and I never thought of going out to meet more people. So, usually in the Imperial College, people know me, and I don't recognize people."

The father and daughter looked at each other and sighed. At this time, it is especially necessary for a social cow to come forward to guide them. Unfortunately, neither of them is a communicative person.With such a nature, no one can say anything.

At the palace banquet, Xiao Huangmen led the father and daughter of the Lu family to the east seat.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is about a family reunion, so at the banquet, everyone is short, and the family is the unit, and the whole family can sit together with the wife and children.

Because of their low official position, the Lu family only sits at the end of the military commander's side.

At this moment, most of the people were chatting with acquaintances, and Lu Qingshan also took him to talk to his acquaintances, so Lu Weimang had to sit alone, shrinking his sense of presence.

"slight!"

Qin Xuan jumped out suddenly and patted Lu Weimang. Although Lu Weimang was taken aback, he was still a little happy that Qin Xuan appeared.She just needs someone to stand in front of her right now to make her less embarrassed.

"You father and daughter came late enough." Qin Xuan said, "I looked here for a long time before I saw you."

Lu Weimang said awkwardly, "I chose this time to come here, so as not to come early, and stare at others."

"Recently, if you don't go to the household department to order Mao, it's not easy to see you. I like the food you brought me when you went to Shu County. She also likes the turquoise bracelets for my mother. She also goes to Zhucui Pavilion, I want to order another string, but the shopkeeper said that I have to wait. Look, mother is wearing that bracelet today."

Apart from his own people, Lu Weimang sent Qiang specialty gems and precious medicines, which can be regarded as a boost to the development of Qionglai Pass.

"It's good if you like it. I'm giving away the special products of the Qiang people. We rarely have them in the Central Plains. When there are more merchants in Qionglai, it will be easier for the capital to buy things there."

Lu Weimang strongly recommended it here, and Qin Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "I heard from my father that General Huo and you in Qionglai made a good appearance, and my father also wants my elder brother to go to the Qionglai Pass to experience it." However, my mother and grandmother were both reluctant, and said to wait until the road over there was easier to walk before crossing. Wei Wei, you have been there before, and you know it better, is it really difficult to go there?"

Qin Xuan said it easily, and Lu Weimang also knew that such an important position related to the income of the state treasury could only be the forbidden place of His Majesty's cronies.For example, Niu Guogong and the Qinhou Mansion are all listed here.

Lu Weimang nodded, "The main reason is that the road is far away, the road is difficult to walk, and the miasma is pervasive, so it is still a bit risky. But it will be fine when you get to the place. It has been a land of abundance since ancient times, and it is very comfortable. Your eldest brother will go there in a few years. Well, it's easy to defend and hard to attack, it's a good place to relax and retire. When you're older, like Mr. Niu, you can go there for a few years."

Qin Xuan was amused by Lu Weimang's age, "My eldest brother is about the same age as Mr. Niu Guogong. He is 26 years old this year. Brother Niu is older, but he is only 27 or [-] years old."

Lu Weimang was dumbfounded, "Seeing how old Mr. Niu is, I thought he was almost forty years old." As he spoke, Lu Weimang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.She is not sure about the age of the ancients, especially when they are in their twenties and 30 years old, some people start to have beards, like a big bull, and after going through the wind and rain all the way, they have unshaven faces when they first met It's no wonder that others will misunderstand.

There were people chatting at the banquet, and the time passed very quickly. Soon, the palace lanterns in various places in the imperial garden were lit up one by one. The sky that had just dimmed was illuminated by various palace lanterns, and the atmosphere of the palace banquet suddenly rose. up.

"It's about to start, I'll go back first."

Qin Xuan pointed to the location of his home, ready to go back.

Lu Weimang looked in the direction of Qin Xuan's finger, and a beautiful woman was staring at her with burning eyes.Lu Weimang was taken aback for a moment, she was absorbed in talking to Qin Xuan just now, but she didn't notice it, but now she was stared at by this direct gaze, Lu Weimang realized later, after hearing Huo Jing say that Qin Xuan was discussing marriage recently , Should I avoid it?

Nodding and smiling, he responded to Mrs. Qin Hou's gaze, and Lu Weimang looked around from afar again. Sure enough, the gazes of some ladies and ladies looked towards this side through the faint light.

Lu Weimang quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Xuan, "Go back quickly."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and sent Qin Xuan off.

Qin Xuan didn't know why Lu Weimang changed his face in an instant, so he just met with a smile, "Today I don't have time to talk in detail, tomorrow I will go to Wuwei Palace, so you can tell me about your journey to Shu County. Among the people in our Guozijian, you are the first A person who is away on business."

"Okay, when you are free someday, go find me next to Wuwei Hall. You should go back now." Lu Weimang urged.

Qin Xuan didn't know why he went back, Lu Weimang heaved a sigh of relief.

The scrutinizing gaze disappeared as Qin Xuan returned to his seat. Lu Weimang sat where he was, and after a while, Lu Qingshan also returned to his seat, "Didn't Qin Xuan just talk to you? He left?"

"Well, the palace banquet is about to start, so he will go back first."

"It's a pity, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I wanted to talk to him at first. Since the graduation of the Imperial College, Qin Xuan hasn't been at home for a long time, right?"

"I didn't come to the Imperial College many times in the past, did I? Just review the homework together before each big exam." Lu Weimang argued.

"is it?"

The father and daughter of the Lu family were talking, and the high-pitched voice of Xiao Huangmen came, "Your Majesty, the empress is here!"

Everyone quickly stood up and bowed to greet him.

"Let's all sit down, the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, all lovers don't need to be formal."

Everyone sat down and looked up at the emperor and empress.I saw that the emperor was still as majestic and mighty as ever, and the empress was still as bright and beautiful.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, let us monarchs and ministers relax and relax together. Today everyone eats and drinks well. Whoever has talent in a while can come forward to show off one or two, just like we are in the army. Qinhou, you are good at swordsmanship, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Qin Hou clasped his hands in his seat and smiled, "I am getting old, but there are no young people who are elegant and beautiful. I will let these three sons perform for the emperor in a while. Look, he has learned some skills from me."

"Okay! Xuan'er, I'll be waiting to see you in a while."

Gong'e served food and wine like flowers blowing willows, while Lu Weimang and his father ate a few mouthfuls in the corner first.

In this kind of occasion where big bosses exchange greetings, the emperor talks to his neighbors. They are all decorated with green leaves, just look at them.

After eating a few bites in a hurry and putting some food on the table, Lu Weimang and Father Lu sat far away, in a dark place, staring at the open space in the banquet center, watching various programs.

Qin Xuan took the lead, performing a sword dance, neat and gorgeous, and the youthful figure was elegant and full of appreciation.

The eyes of the noble ladies who sat down looked bright.

There are also two generals who have always loved fighting spirit, and now they also took this opportunity to have a good competition.

There was constant applause from around.

Fortunately, these old men know how to measure, and after a while, a noble girl stepped forward to perform.Some people dance, some play the piano, and some sing. It's really a visual and auditory feast, which is very eye-catching.

Lu Weimang nodded and shook his head following the ancient song, very engrossed.Art can cultivate one's sentiments. Back then, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala program was put in front of my eyes, but I didn't cherish it. Now, an ancient song, a song, and a dance make me intoxicated.

Sure enough, if there is no loss, there is no cherishment.

"Not bad, really good. These little girls are full of fairy spirit, which is not comparable to us women. But when we talk about little girls, how can we not mention Lu Weimang, a student of the Imperial College? I only heard others mention it. But I haven't met her formally yet, today's atmosphere is just right, please invite Miss Lu to come out and let us have a look, shall we?"

The proposal of this unknown lady received many responses.

Lu Weimang sat at the end with a huddled body, and there was only one sentence in his mind, "Here we come again!"
