Chapter 52

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but it turns out that you always feel the same way, and the filial piety of the two girls is not in vain."

Mrs. Lu sneered and said: "It's ridiculous that that stupid person with shallow eyelids and no way to get on the stage always says I'm biased, and doesn't look at what Fu girl and Xuan girl have done, and what they have done!"

Just as I was talking, a little maid's voice came from outside: "Go back to the old lady, the second master, the second wife, the third girl, the fifth girl and the sixth master are here!"

Mrs. Lu didn't say any more, she nodded to Madam Zhang, and the latter went out to greet her, and led Lu Zhongjing's family in when she was young.

After exchanging greetings, Lu Zhongmian and his party also arrived. In addition to Lu Zhongmian and Mrs. Lu's two grandparents, Lu Wenting and Lu Wenqian, and Grandma Lu, Ling Mengqi and Zhao Yanjie were also among the ranks.

Although in the past few days, the girls in the Duke's Mansion are not as enthusiastic about Ling Mengqi as they were at the beginning, but no one stipulates that they will marry him after seeing the latter too much, right?Therefore, as soon as Ling Mengqi entered the hall, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

And Ling Mengqi is indeed worthy of the focus of everyone's attention. He is dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with bamboo patterns, covered with stone green mink fur and fringed gown, tied with multicolored silk and knotted with long fringed palace sash, because he is also Before reaching the crown, her jet-black hair was only tied up with a jasper hairpin. Compared with Wushuang, who was handsome in simple clothes and light clothes when she entered the mansion that day, she was a little more elegant and graceful.

Out of instinctive appreciation for beautiful things, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but look at Ling Mengqi a few more times before she looked away, and then sighed in her heart, she didn't know what the Marquis of Guangping was thinking. Yan's son is still the eldest son, but he has always regarded him as nothing, not to mention his careful teaching and cultivation, and even the basic dignity and respect are stingy to him, so that he had to come to the old man in the new year, and send him under the fence, the Marquis of Guangping How much do you hate Ling Mengqi?Why does he hate Ling Mengqi so much?Or did he really obey the saying "If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather"?
When Lu Mingxuan was thinking wildly, Mrs. Lu had already held Zhao Yanjie's hand to ask for warmth. Like the girls, Mrs. Lu did not treat Ling Mengqi as warmly as before, and the reason was naturally the same as that of her granddaughters. It was because of the marriage contract, not to mention Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingzhu, it was absolutely impossible to promise to Ling Mengqi, even Lu Mingli and Mrs. Lu couldn't bear it. The water in Guangping Hou's mansion was obviously deep, how could she be willing to bear her own child? His granddaughter went to that muddy water?Even Lu Mingli was reluctant, and Mrs. Lu Mingxuan was even more reluctant.

Lu Mingya and Lu Mingxin are suitable, but Mrs. Lu can't bear to let Ling Mengqi be ruined by the two of them, so the only way is to treat Ling Mengqi indifferently, so as not to give him any illusions and cause troubles in the future.

In the bustle of the room, the old man walked in, and everyone including Mrs. Lu hurriedly lowered his body to salute. The old man smiled and waved his hands and said, "Get up, it's rare that today is a holiday. And don't be cautious."

After sitting down, he saw Ling Mengqi in the crowd at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you still used to living in the mansion these days? Just ask if you want anything, don't be polite, your grandfather and I are dead together." Brother confidant, his grandson is my grandson, and this is also your home, so don't make yourself wrong."

The old man smiled, his expression gradually took on a bit of relief and a bit of nostalgia, Ling Mengqi's appearance is actually not similar to Ling Xiang, but his temperament is very similar to that of Ling Xiang when he was young. Looking at him, the old man couldn't help but think of his youth.

Seeing the question, Ling Mengqi hurriedly replied respectfully: "I'm very used to living here, and I don't lack in sex. You just need to rest assured, old man."

The old man laughed more and more relieved, nodded and was about to say more, when he heard a sharp singing and shouting from outside: "The eldest princess is here——"

All the people sitting, including the old man and Mrs. Lu, stood up. Although according to seniority, Princess Fuhui is their daughter-in-law, the distinction between monarch and minister is not comparable to that between elder and younger. Only after completing the national ceremony can I receive the family gift from Princess Fuhui. Of course, I dare not really accept it, but it is just that Princess Fuhui speaks nicely, so marrying a princess daughter-in-law is really mixed.

The girl standing outside the door raised the curtain, only to see Princess Fuhui, who was dressed in red and gold and a hundred flowers, and the long-sleeved jacket, and the third master Lu Zhongyu, who was dressed in a robe of rain and sunshine, came in one after the other. He also followed Lu Mingzhu and fifth master Lu Wenzhu.

Princess Fuhui has a long face, long eyebrows that slant into the temples, sharp red phoenix eyes, bright red lips and a pointed chin. She is not beautiful, but she is better in her luxurious and graceful clothes, tall and straight, gentle and handsome. Lu Zhongyu stood together, but also complemented each other.

Everyone in the room hurriedly knelt down on the ground, saying: "See the eldest princess, the eldest princess is a thousand years old!"

Two nuns who followed Princess Fuhui stepped forward quickly, and each of them helped the old Duke and Mrs. Lu who had not had time to kneel down to get up. After everyone else knelt down, Princess Fuhui The eunuch who was following him sang: "Mian—"

Then everyone thanked them in unison, stood up, and took their seats according to seniority and juniority.

Lu Zhongyu smiled and said to the old man and Mrs. Lu: "I haven't seen my parents for a while, are my parents okay?"

He didn't say this, but he said it, and when he said that, the old man's face became somewhat ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Thanks to the blessing of the son-in-law, our old couple are still in good health."

If it weren't for the fact that Princess Fuhui was still around, the words of the old man would be even more ugly. The daughter-in-law is a princess and they don't dare to hope that they will come every day to make peace with each other, but it is only natural for a son to make peace with parents. Yes, especially the Duke's Mansion and the Princess Mansion are only separated by a wall, but the youngest son rarely comes to greet them once during the New Year's Eve. Could it be that he really thinks that he is married?Not even the two younger ones, the two younger ones still know that they come here every now and then to say hello, how dare they say 'I haven't seen my parents for a while', he also knows?

Seeing that the old man's words were obviously emotional, Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her youngest son on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was afraid of offending Princess Fuhui, so she hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over and said, "The eldest princess and the third child haven't met Qi. Brother and Yanjie, those two children? They are one of the best children in a hundred, it’s rare that everyone is here today, how about I let them see you?” said to Ling Mengqi and Zhao Yanjie, who bowed their heads and held their hands in awe. : "What are you still standing there for, why don't you hurry up and see the eldest princess?"

Hearing this, the two of them hurried forward to give another big gift to Princess Fuhui and Lu Zhongyu. Princess Fuhui obviously didn't expect Ling Mengqi to be so handsome. After being stunned for a while, she smiled and said to Mrs. Lu: " They are indeed good children who are one in a hundred." The mother who followed behind him stepped forward and rewarded each of them with a gift.
