Chapter 118
"Master, I invited General Lu's wife to our house tomorrow." On the way back to the mansion, Mrs. Liu said to Governor Liu.

Governor Liu nodded: "Since we've arrived in Yizhou, it's only right for us to welcome you. You have posted posts for the chief envoy, the procurator, and the wives of the garrison, so that they won't complain afterwards."

Madam Liu said in a low voice, "Yes, sir."

"Tell me, is General Lu credible?" Governor Liu asked after pondering for a moment.

Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Where did the master say that? I only saw General Lu once, so I didn't dare to say anything, but this Mrs. Lu is a wonderful person. I heard the meaning of the maid beside her. The safety pulse of the empress in the palace is all handled by this lady, and His Majesty also highly praises her medical skills."

Governor Liu fell into deep thought again, and did not speak again until he returned to the government office.

Although Mrs. Liu was impatient, she didn't want to ask too much about the man's affairs outside, so she ordered the maid to take a pen and ink to write a post, clean up the flower hall, and prepare for tomorrow's banquet.

The candles in the study room in the government office were not extinguished until midnight. When Governor Liu walked out of the study room, there was faint determination in his eyes.

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, Qin Ranran was wearing a water-red pomegranate dark-pattern jacket with a moon-white lily skirt, gold inlaid agate beads on her head, cloisonne earrings and a red agate bracelet from Jinling, which complemented her skin perfectly. Fair and delicate.

She stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked around several times before asking, "How about I dress like this?"

Lu Chengan looked up and down a few times, and praised: "A beautiful dimple is more delicate than a flower, and a beautiful face is as beautiful as a spring red."

Qin Ranran showed a shy smile, took her red sleeves and went to the front yard with Lu Jiu, got into the carriage, and walked to the government office.

"Ma'am, aren't we going to bring Ari today?" Hongxiu looked at Ari who was being held by Xinghua, and asked.

Qin Ranran hesitated for a moment, but said, "I don't want to bring it, it's not suitable for the first time to go to someone's house."

When they arrived at the mansion, Mrs. Liu had brought three well-dressed wives to wait at the Chuihua Gate.

"Madam Lu." Madam Liu greeted the carriage with a smile when she saw the carriage stop.

The other three wives watched Mrs. Liu's actions, suppressed the surprise in their hearts, and firmly remembered what their master told them.

This General Lu must not be offended.

"Mrs. Liu, I'm really sorry that you are waiting for me here." Qin Ranran helped Lu Jiu's men out of the carriage, and stepped forward to join hands with Mrs. Liu with a sincere tone.

The smile on Madam Liu's face was even stronger, she pulled her towards the other three ladies, and said: "No way, it's rare for me to meet someone as speculative as Madam Lu."

"I'm afraid that Madam Lu will feel reserved here if I speak clumsily. I specially invited a few ladies to accompany you. This is Mrs. Sun from the chief envoy's family, and this is Mrs. Zhang from the inspector's family. This is Mrs. Li from the family of the general of the garrison army." After Mrs. Liu introduced them one by one, she said to everyone, "This is Mrs. Lu who came from Shangjing."

Qin Ranran listened to her introduction and greeted them one by one.

Mrs. Sun was in her thirties, wearing a purple-red chrysanthemum-patterned jacket with dark patterns and a ruby ​​head. She looked extremely calm. She blessed Qin Ranran and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu is so young."

Mrs. Zhang looked a few years older than Mrs. Sun, with a haggard look on her face. She was wearing a peacock blue brocade suit, but her complexion looked a little yellow.She smiled very reluctantly, and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Lu."

Mrs. Li was wearing a royal blue plain satin dress, which was not as crisp as Mrs. Qi's, and said softly to Qin Ranran, "Mrs. Lu is well."

"It's winter, let's sit in the house." Mrs. Liu smiled and invited a few people to drink tea in the flower hall, "The tea here is not as good as the empress, but my Mengding nectar is also from our local area. It's a special product, give Madam Lu a taste of it."

Qin Ranran smiled and asked the servant to bring the gift over: "That's it, I'll thank Mrs. Liu. I heard that you and Mr. Liu are both born in the year of the ox, so I specially prepared some gifts, which are not respectful."

Mrs. Liu asked the steward to receive it and took it to the room: "There is no need to be so polite. We went to visit yesterday and didn't have time to prepare any gifts. How can you be so embarrassing?"

Qin Ranran held Mrs. Liu's hands: "You and Mr. Liu are older than us, it should be."

Mrs. Liu thought about her husband's words yesterday, and then looked at Qin Ranran's actions today. She had some calculations in her heart. It must be that General Lu wanted to seek some benefits with her husband in Yizhou, a place far away from the emperor. You have to try it yourself.

Seeing the gleam in the other party's eyes, Qin Ranran smiled secretly and took the bait.

Walking into the flower hall, a charcoal pot had already been placed in the house, and the fragrance of flowers and fruits wafted in the house. Qin Ranran felt that it was not like the cold winter months, but a sense of spring.

Mrs. Liu invited Qin Ranran to sit down at the head, and Qin Ranran did not refuse. Among the ladies present, only Governor Liu and Lu Chengan were second-rank officials, and she was a third-rank wife from the imperial court. Among them, not every family member of an official with a rank will get the corresponding rank.

Mrs. Zhang's face was not very good from the beginning to the end. Qin Ranran asked with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang's complexion is not good. Is it because she was too tired during the New Year and didn't have a good rest."

To Qin Ranran's surprise, Mrs. Zhang's voice suddenly became sharp: "Don't worry about it."

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Zhang smiled awkwardly again: "I've been feeling a little out of sorts lately, I'm sorry, Mrs. Liu, I'll take my leave first." After that, she got up and left without looking at Qin Ranran up.

Qin Ranran had a forced smile on her face: "This is..."

Mrs. Liu coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "This Mrs. Zhang's natal family is the Huang family in Jinling."

Qin Ranran suddenly realized that she was venting her anger on herself. Couldn't it be possible for you to bear the sins of your own family?
Mrs. Sun raised the teacup: "Mrs. Lu, don't worry about it. Mrs. Zhang has such a personality. She always does whatever she wants, like a heroine among women. Let's drink tea."

Qin Ranran nodded to Mrs. Sun with a smile, but her heart was like a mirror. This Mrs. Sun was clearly telling herself that Mrs. Zhang must rely on her natal family's power to do whatever she wants, and now that she is in trouble, life is sure Not as good as before.

This Mrs. Sun seemed to be very friendly to herself.

"I heard that Mrs. Lu is very skilled in medicine, and she even prescribed a tea prescription for Mrs. Liu. We all said that we would use it together." Mrs. Li also answered with a smile, "I also want to ask Mrs. Lu if there is any Drinking tea that can make people fair? My complexion is always not as pale as others, it is really distressing."

Qin Ranran put down the teacup, and chatted with the women with a smile on the topic that the female relatives would never get tired of talking about. In addition, Qin Ranran inadvertently revealed that the Empress Empress also used this recipe, and the wives got what they wanted. The necessary information, the scene is harmonious and harmonious.
