Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 362 Visiting the Lu Mansion
"Princess, the Lu residence is here!"

"Go and hand over the invitation card!"

"Yes!"

Xiaoyue went forward to hand over a greeting card to the concierge of Lu's mansion, and after a while, a nun wearing a green belt came out to welcome her.A nun stepped forward and led the carriage through the main entrance and went around to the second courtyard before getting into the soft sedan to go to the backyard.From a distance, Jingyao saw some wives of the Lu family leading a group of people standing in front to meet them.

Jingyao is still very satisfied with the Lu family's actions. If such aristocratic family does not plan to have a deep friendship with you, they will not receive you in the backyard, but just send you away with a few words in the front yard.

In fact, this Lu family is the natal family of Mrs. Xu Zhifu in Lingnan, and the one who gave her a call at the beginning, but after arriving in Beijing, there were too many things to come to visit.

"The servants are waiting to welcome Princess Pingnan!"

"Quick! Help the ladies up!"

Xiaoyue heard the words and hurried forward to help the wives of the Lu family up one by one, and said, "The wives don't need to be so courteous, my princess is the most informal!"

While talking, Jingyao also got off the soft sedan chair, and seeing a very kind old lady with slightly gray hair in the middle, Jingyao reckoned that this was the old lady of the Lu family.As for the lady next to her who looked in her thirties, Jingyao reckoned that this should be the eldest lady of the Lu family, but she didn't know who was younger next to her.

"Old Madam Lu, Madam Lu, Jingyao is so polite!"

"But I can't be a princess like this, this will kill me!" Mrs. Lu was very happy to see that Jingyao didn't put on the airs of the princess.

Seeing Mrs. Lu's kindness, Jing Yao also smiled and said, "The old lady is an elder, and as a junior, Jing Yao should be like this!"

"Since the princess said so, the old man will have the cheek to accept this gift, the princess please!"

Jingyao followed Mrs. Lu to the yard. On the way, she took a look carefully and thought that the Lu Mansion really has some background. Don't look at the current master who is only a third-rank official, but this Lu Mansion has been rich for a hundred years , the background is different.It’s just that the verandah has an ancient flavor, and the carvings on the pillars are different from the peonies that other families like to carve, but it looks like ink bamboo.

Jingyao sighed in her heart, after all, everyone in a hundred years is not comparable to that in Bofu who only got up in ten years.If you don't look at other houses, you can still look at the uncle's house. After looking at other houses, the decoration of the uncle's house will be tacky, but it can't be completely blamed on the background.This also has something to do with the taste of the head of the family. What kind of taste can Xilingbo have when he was a farmer?As for that Shen Jiao, she loves gold and beauty, so let's not talk about taste.

"Princess, please sit down!"

After entering the room, Old Mrs. Lu asked Jingyao to sit down. Jingyao quickly gave way when she saw it, "Old lady, you don't have to do this. Today, Jingyao came to visit as a junior. How can anyone sit here as a junior?"

As she spoke, Jingyao sat down in the seat she had found, which made the old Mrs. Lu take a higher look.Xindao is indeed not an ordinary woman who can be named princess. Looking at her behavior, she really doesn't look like those who came out of exile, let alone those who are rampant after being named princess.

"Earlier, I heard from my daughter that the princess is an open-minded person, and it is true when I saw it today! But we were supposed to visit the princess at home, but I heard that the princess is afraid of being idle recently, so I didn't go, no Thinking of today, Princess Gong came first."

"That's Aunt Xu's absurd praise. The old lady is too polite. As a junior, Jingyao should come to visit her. It is the old lady who said that Jingyao really has no time since she came to Beijing, otherwise she should have come to visit the old lady. Yes. When I was in Lingnan earlier, I heard from my aunt that the old lady is the one who loves and loves the younger generation the most. Seeing the old lady today is like seeing my own grandmother."

The aunt Jing Yao mentioned naturally refers to Mrs. Xu, and the old lady inevitably missed it when she heard this, and sighed, "I haven't seen your aunt for many years. Ever since she followed your uncle to Lingnan, all these I have been exchanging letters for years, and I don’t know if I can meet this old bone when I am dying.”

"Don't worry, old lady. Uncle Xu treats my aunt very well. This uncle Xu is also a public official when he is an official outside. He may be transferred back to the capital in a year, and we will not see each other again. Besides, the old lady is in such a strong body. It is possible to live to be a hundred years old, so why not see him?"

"Haha, I have to borrow a good word from the princess, so that the old man can live for a few years, and don't want to be a hundred years old. It will be fine if he can live until my daughter comes back."

"Grandma, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"

"Haha, at a hundred years old, you're immortal?" Mrs. Lu laughed loudly, and stretched out her hand to beckon the girl who spoke just now, "You girl, you climbed up the pole."

"Princess, this is my little granddaughter Ziyuan. She is 14 years old today. She should be about the same age as the princess. The little girls can also chat together. If they are free on weekdays, they can often play together."

"If Miss Ziyuan doesn't dislike it, it will be great. I didn't have many little sisters when I first came to the capital, and it's very boring on weekdays. If I have free time, I will definitely come to Lu's residence to talk to Miss Ziyuan. Miss Shi Ziyuan, please don't dislike her."

Jingyao saw that the girl was watery, dressed in light purple clothes, very elegant and dignified, with a round face and big eyes that looked very lively, but she felt a sense of wanting to be close.

"It's good for the princess to call me Ziyuan. It's strange to call me Miss. I've heard about the princess' deeds a long time ago, but I want to hear the princess talk about some interesting things about Lingnan!"

"Since that's the case, I'll call you Ziyuan, but it's strange to call me the princess. Wouldn't it be more strange to call me the princess? Isn't it better to call each other by our respective names when we are about the same age?"

"Okay, okay!" Hearing what Jingyao said, Lu Ziyuan was obviously very happy, but Mrs. Lu at the side felt that something was wrong. After all, Jingyao's status is different now, so it seems that her daughter has no rules, but she just thought What she said was stopped by Mrs. Lu with her eyes.

"Jingyao, can you tell me the story of you leading people to encircle and suppress the bandits? I heard my uncle wrote to my father earlier, and my father told us again, but my father doesn't know much, and he can't tell it. Clearly, it's actually arousing our appetite. I admire you so much, you can subdue so many bandits!"

Mrs. Lu laughed when she heard it, "Isn't that right, this girl has been making noises at home every day since she heard about the princess' deeds, and wants to write to your Uncle Xu in order to know more about you."
